The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

After Huo Wuyou and Fu Zixian delivered the batch of goods to the Chai family, Huo Wuyou was entrusted by the Chai family to take another batch of things to the mountains in the western suburbs of the city.

As soon as he left the city gate, Fu Zixian started yelling at him for the antidote. Huo Wuyou was annoyed and just stuffed the braided ring into his lapel and knocked him out.

He was really curious about the things shipped out from the Chai family.

After handing Fu Zixian over to his men, he opened the contents of the car compartment and took a look.

There was some grain inside, but it was sealed with imperial seals.

"This is..." Huo Wuyou was stunned: "Disaster relief food?"

It turned out that the lost relief grain was embezzled by the Chai family.

Not only that, judging from the depth of the ruts, there was something else on the cart that was heavier than the relief grain.

He had the truck unloaded and checked, and sure enough, he found a batch of weapons hidden under the relief grain.

The Chai family asked Fu Zixian to escort these people, probably because they were preparing to lure the people into a trap and accuse the people of Prince Gong's party of treason.

When he returned to the Tang family with the news, the family was in chaos.

Jiang Xu's arrow was hastily bandaged, and he was obviously injured. At this moment, his face was red, and if Tang Lin hadn't had someone stop him, he would have almost attacked Chai Yue.

"Those villains stopped in their tracks when they saw you. Do you dare to say that they have nothing to do with you?! The crime of kidnapping a good family's child is punishable by exile. You are unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of those villains. If someone gets into trouble, the crime of kidnapping a good family's child and causing harm to someone's life is even more serious. It is not excessive to execute him. Miss Chai can try it!"

Chai Yue just kept crying. She was protected by Madam Chai. "Master Jiang, how could Yue'er know what the villain did? How can you slander him like this!"

As soon as Huo Wuyou walked into the door, everyone looked over at once.

"what happened?"

He didn't know what had happened, but he saw that all the Tang family members except Tang Zhining were there, as well as the Chai mother and daughter, and the siblings Shen Qingtang and Shen Qingwei, and even Jiang Xu and Sui Yunlang were there, but there was no sign of Xue Zhiyi. He had a bad feeling.

"Sui Yunlang, what happened to Zhiyi?" he asked again.

Sui Yunlang looked embarrassed, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Today, Miss Xue met a villain in the street, who kidnapped her..."

Then he said quickly: "But we are already thinking of a way. At worst, we can search the city. Now that the official road is destroyed, she is still in Jiangzhou anyway. Besides, she is someone close to the Queen Mother. Maybe they just want to take her as a hostage to seek something. She won't hurt her life..."

Although Tang Lin disliked Xue Zhiyi, after all, he was a guest of his mansion who got lost in the territory where he was working, and he still had to save the face of Marquis Lin'an, so he also said: "Marquis Lin'an, Doctor Sui is right, Miss Xue may not be in danger of her life."

But Huo Wuyou seemed to be unable to hear anything at this moment. For a moment, it was as if something was taken away from his heart. His mind was blank, and he felt as if his back was struck by lightning... He had only been away for half a day, how could such a thing happen...

"Marquis Lin'an... Marquis Lin'an!"

It was not until Shen Qingtang cried out that he regained some consciousness: "It was because I insisted on inviting her out that this happened. Today, Zhiyi wore my clothes and a mask, and the thieves must have mistaken her for me... I got her into trouble, I'm sorry... Please find a way to save her! I have already told my father, he will do his best to help, even if he has to turn Jiangzhou upside down, he must find Zhiyi!"

Her eyes had already become swollen like peaches, tears were streaming down her face, and she almost fainted from crying.

Shen Qingwei supported her shoulders. He was not familiar with Xue Zhiyi, so he was not as concerned as Shen Qingtang. He just said to Huo Wuyou calmly, "Marquis Lin'an, I was supposed to go with you today, but before I left, someone sent a message saying that Brother Tang wanted to see me urgently. He said it was urgent, but in the end he took me to a waterside pavilion to wait. I waited for a long time, but the servant disappeared without a trace. But when I asked Brother Tang just now, I learned that he had not sent anyone to look for me. I think this is very strange."

At the side, Tang Jinglei nodded in agreement: "Qingwei described the appearance of the messenger to me, and he certainly doesn't look like someone from the mansion."

At this moment, Huo Wuyou's eyes were red. These fragmented information were intertwined in his chaotic mind, and seemed to form a big net that bound him tightly.

"Jiang Xu." Huo Wuyou's voice was a little hoarse: "Is what you just said true?"

He had no time to ask about the unusual concern shown by Jiang Xu, he just wanted to get the answer to the question quickly.

Jiang Xu sneered: "Every word is true, and everyone present is a witness."

"Okay." He lowered his eyes, and his brows were filled with cumulonimbus clouds with thunder, ready to unleash intense anger.

Huo Wuyou said coldly: "Yan Gui, have someone capture Chai Yue."

Yan Gui took the order and took the officials from the Dali Temple to arrest the man on the spot.

Both the Chai family and the Tang family were shocked when they heard this. Mrs. Tang didn't want her niece to suffer, so she stood up and said, "How can the Marquis of Lin'an arrest people without any evidence? Even the Dali Temple can't handle cases like this!"

Mrs. Tang didn't know the true identity of the Chai family, but Tang Jinglei did. He grabbed Mrs. Tang and said, "Mother!"

Mrs. Tang was anxious and pushed him away: "Xue Zhiyi caused Ruoyu to be bedridden. Do you also agree to wrongly accuse your cousin for such a person?"

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Tang Jinglei did not tell anyone what happened that night. He looked at Xue Ruoyu with a guilty conscience, but saw that Xue Ruoyu just lowered her brows, her eyelashes trembling, and she seemed to have a myriad of entanglements in her heart.

Her mother's last words were for her to kill Xue Zhiyi for revenge. Logically, she should have been happy about this happening, but... when she thought that Xue Zhiyi might be in danger, she couldn't help but think of Xue Zhiyi's childhood...

At that time, Xue Zhiyi was not distant from her. He was so timid and clingy. Right under her nose, he grew up into a young girl.

She had never shed a tear for Xue Zhiyi before, so how could she hope for his death now? However, whenever she felt a little pity for Xue Zhiyi, she would think of her parents and brother who had died in despair, and her heart would burn like oil and fire...

Xue Ruoyu closed her eyes in pain.

Here, Madam Chai also questioned: "Does the Marquis of Lin'an think that he can ignore the law and detain the family members of officials at will just because he is a member of the royal family? Although my Chai family is not as powerful as the Marquis of Lin'an, if the master knew about this, he would do his best to protect Yue'er and would not let you abuse your power to bully others!"

Tang Lin didn't want to make things worse, so he said, "Marquis Lin'an, it is more important to find someone right now. If there is no evidence, the law does not allow people to be arrested. Marquis Lin'an is in the Dali Temple, so he should understand this principle better."

"Law?" Huo Wuyou raised his eyes, his red eyes fixed on Madam Chai.

"If civilians disappear without reason in Dayong, can the Dali Temple do anything about it?" He asked in a cold voice.

Mrs. Chai said nothing, but just protected Chai Yue even more closely.

"Is it in accordance with the rules of the case to ask the witnesses at the crime scene to make a statement?"

After that, he asked Jiang Xu: "You are more familiar with the laws of Dayong than I am. Jiang Xu, tell me, is it inappropriate to ask Miss Chai, or anyone at the crime scene, to give a statement?"

Looking at the mother and daughter, Jiang Xu said, "What the Marquis of Lin'an said is exactly right."

"Very good." Huo Wuyou ordered again: "Capture him."

Yan Gui obeyed the order, led his men forward, and said, "Miss Chai, please follow me to the Dali Temple to ask a question."

Chai Yue had done something wrong, and she knew she couldn't keep her mouth shut, so how could she be willing to go? She huddled in Madam Chai's arms and yelled, "Who do you think you are? How dare you order me around? I'll see who dares to touch me!"

First courtesy, then force. Chai Yue refused to accept the courtesy, so Yan Gui could only sigh and wave his hand. The yamen officials came forward and forcibly pulled Chai Yue out of Mrs. Chai's arms.

Mrs. Chai was horrified: "How dare you!"

Immediately, he angrily scolded Huo Wuyou: "Marquis of Lin'an! This is Jiangzhou. My master hasn't arrived yet. How dare you touch Yue'er? Are you crazy!"

Her master? Her master is busy with other big things now, so he has no time to care about the excitement here.

Madam Chai held onto Chai Yue’s hand and refused to let go, her words already incoherent: “Let go! You are crazy… You are all crazy! You actually want to interrogate my Yue’er just for that bitch!”

During the struggle, Madam Chai felt a flash of sword light suddenly flash before her eyes, and her head felt cold...

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, Huo Wuyou drew his sword unexpectedly. In his boiling rage, he just wanted to cut Madam Chai's throat with one sword, but reason made his sword tip hesitate, and finally he chopped Madam Chai's hair off.

The sword was filled with rage and was extremely fast. The blade hooked the hairpin on Mrs. Chai's head and pulled out a piece of hair. Blood seeped out and flowed from her forehead.

"Mother!" Chai Yue screamed at the top of her lungs, trying to break free from the officials, but was held even tighter.

At this moment, Madam Chai fell to the ground, her whole body shaking like a sieve. She had never thought that Huo Wuyou would actually dare to do it.

With the sword across Madam Chai's neck, Huo Wuyou's voice was chilly and bloody, like a ferocious beast that had just devoured its prey: "You'd better pray that your daughter will honestly reveal the whereabouts of those thieves, otherwise, no one in your Chai family will survive!"
