“What’s the problem?”

The uncle and nephew of the Xu family were Tian Xiong's confidants. Now Tian Xiong is dead, and a large number of Tian Xiong's generals have died in battle. Another Ba successfully surrendered the Ming army in Fujian. The Lubiao battalion, which was privately called "Tian Family Army" by some people, was completely finished. Xu Xin temporarily served as a senior military officer like the admiral as a deputy general. In addition to the fact that there were no military generals in the court willing to take this mortal plate, he also wanted to appease the remaining experienced officers and veterans of the Lubiao battalion.

But after all, they all escaped from Siming Lake. Who knows if they would have been rebelled by Chen Wence long ago and come back and wait for the opportunity to sell Hangzhou for a good price.

It would be fine if it was other prefectures in Zhejiang. Hangzhou is the provincial capital. More importantly, there are people who built the city, and most of them were bannermen living together, which is a crucial place. Xiao Qiyuan was just in case, but who knew that this incident really made him, a blind cat, meet a dead mouse.

"The boss, the people sent by the students have returned. Xu Lei has been very close to a businessman recently. He always finds a secret place to discuss something. After every discussion, he will go to his uncle. The student did not dare to alert the snake, so he specially found a thief who had accumulated a year to inquire. The businessman met with Xu Lei, but he didn't hear the specific conversation. However, the thief followed the businessman home and heard the businessman mention that Xu Lei had a private concubine in his house, which was the real sister of Li Ruixin, the confidant of Chen Wen's confidant, Guangning Hou, Li Ruixin!"

The staff told the story, but unexpectedly, it would have been such a result, which really shocked Xiao Qiyuan. He frowned and immediately asked, "Can it be Chen Wen's plan to distract him?"

As soon as he said that, Xiao Qiyuan immediately denied this idea. Chen Wen could not have come to the foreseeable future that Xiao Qiyuan would be suspicious of the Xu family's uncle and nephew. Moreover, Chen Wen did not frame this matter alone, and Xu Lei also had real interactions with Chen Wen's people. Moreover, Chen Wen has always acted as a conspiracy, and at most it was a conspiracy to suppress others with power, which was not in line with his habits.

"What else did the thief hear?"

The staff subconsciously glanced around, and then came to Xiao Qiyuan's ears again: "The thief told the student that the businessman told the Ningbo man to rest early today and not go to the kiln to play. I will see the real sign tomorrow, and it is unlucky to touch a woman."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qiyuan's mind was immediately blank. He never expected that procrastination was an illusion, and what Chen Wen wanted was his carelessness in the past few days!

"Catch those two pieces, and summon the thief."

The thief was waiting in the yamen and soon received Xiao Qiyuan's reception. The man's answer was flawless. It was obvious that he had met him in person, but when Xiao Qiyuan's confidant secretly came to the door to pick up the people, the building was already empty.

"What's going on?!"

"Little, the little man doesn't know. When the little man gets the news, he comes back to report to Mr. Shao..."

"I am not asking where you are going, but where those two detailed works have gone!"

"Master, the villain really doesn't know. The businessman, no, is that very careful and alert. The villain has been staring at him for the past two days, and he will sleep there every night. Mr. Shao can testify for the villain."

Xiao Qiyuan looked at the staff in confusion and got an answer that was indeed the case.

"Boss, will it take a big move tomorrow? They have changed places today?"

This is possible. After all, if there is really action tomorrow, then it always makes sense for the cunning rabbit to have three holes. Fortunately, the feeling of frustration just arises, and the trustee who took the person sent another personal soldier back.

"Master, we found a secret room in that house. There is an authentic tunnel leading to a house in Linfang. That house, that house is the former residence of the deputy general Yu Fenqi!"

Yu Fenqi is already dead. Yu Fenqi's family was attacked by bandits on the way to leave Hangzhou. It is said that they were all killed. But now it seems that the family has died in Jinhua, and the Xu family followed this line and connected down.

"It's not advisable to act rashly now."

"Of course you can't move!"

It is already late at night, and no matter what you do, it may cause a change, and this is a good thing for Chen Wen. Fortunately, the time for the conspiracy was tomorrow, and luckily, I stood at Xiao Qiyuan's place. As long as I waited quietly until dawn tomorrow and invited the Xu family's uncle and nephew to the governor's office to discuss matters, the chaos could be settled without any effort.

Waiting is painful, especially for Xiao Qiyuan at this moment. However, it didn't take long before he had to continue to torture.

……………………

After leaving the small courtyard where the mother and daughter of the Li family lived, Xu Lei went back to the study and breathed a sigh of relief. He put an object in his arms and went to the courtyard where his wife Yu was in the middle.

Since returning from Simingshan last year, the Li family's little sister's child fell out, and Xu Lei has basically never given his wife a good face. Even since he found out that the Li family's little sister can still get pregnant, this grudge has existed - not to talk about deception, being unfilial is the greatest thing for the three no descendants, his father has only one son like him, and he still has no daughter, and there is no chance to find someone to marry into a marriage. Isn't this the Xu family's group that has lost their children?

However, a wife is a wife. He cannot divorce his wife just because his father-in-law is gone. This is too cold and dissatisfied, which is completely inconsistent with his usual performance among the generals. But today, tomorrow is about to take big steps, and some things should be settled, which is just paving the way for him to please Chen Wen and Li Ruixin next time.

After entering the room, Yu had already been waiting for him and appeared in great costumes. It was obviously carefully dressed up. But after looking closely, he lost a lot of weight, and it must have been difficult for this period.

Xu Lei sneered in his heart, but said nothing. After sitting down, the couple looked at each other speechlessly. Instead, the maids brought up the carefully prepared wine and dishes one by one, and then all Yu Shi retreated out under the wink of her eyes.

"Husband, I have thought about it carefully during this period. I was really stupid in the past and owed me a lot to my husband and the Li family sister..."

The room was gone, and Yu said to blame himself, which was not beyond Xu Lei's expectations. Although his wife, Yu, was jealous and arrogant, she was always considerate to her father, brother, and especially to Xu Lei's husband. However, the situation has changed to this point...

"It's the last meal anyway."

Thinking in his heart, Xu Lei said, "Martial wife is one, so let's just say something. However, in the future, you must treat the Li family well and not deceive your husband again, and do this act of carrying a husband."

"I will never dare to do it again."

Turning into laughter, Yu respectfully served Xu Lei for dinner, persuaded him to drink with him diligently, and even accompanied Xu Lei to drink a few drinks.

After all, it was an old couple. After talking, the atmosphere was no longer as cold as before. Recalling those happy pasts and even some interesting things from childhood, the couple ate and chatted. After a long time, the pot of wine was finished. Yu brought up another pot and filled Xu Lei and herself. He watched Xu Lei drink all the whole thing, but she didn't drink it.

"Why don't my wife drink, but she's drunk?"

Seeing that Xu Lei had this question, Yu clarified his temples and then smiled and said, "If you answer a question for me, I will follow you and drink this cup."

"That's a couple of drinks."

"I'm going to accept the punishment."

"You ask."

After receiving Xu Lei's approval, Yu sat upright and asked Xu Lei seriously: "Can you tell me how Uncle Li was captured in Siming Mountain back then?"

"What did you say?!"

Li Rong was captured, which was a secret hidden in Xu Lei's heart for many years. He betrayed Li Rong without hesitation. Few people saw the chaos at that time, but when Yu was revealed, the wine in Xu Lei's belly immediately turned into sweat, and he stood up all of a sudden.

However, as soon as he stood up, Xu Lei felt a cramp in his abdomen and immediately sat down again. The chair was dragged down by his increasingly heavy body, and he fell to the ground.

"Since my husband is unwilling to answer this question, can you tell me how my father died and who killed me?"

Two lines of clear tears slashed across his fair cheeks. Yu did not wait for Xu Lei's answer, so he continued to ask: "I don't want to say, who was my mother, my brother attacked?"

"The Ming army is about to enter the city. Is your husband planning to strangle the sinful woman with the rope in his arms, or to poison the remaining remnants of the Yu family with poison?!" At this point, Yu was already sobbing and sat down on the ground, as if the questioning just now had time to take her full strength.

"Who told you?"

The colic in the abdomen became more and more intense. Xu Lei gritted his teeth and took a lot of effort to squeeze out these few words.

His father-in-law Yu Fenqi fled from Siming Lake last year and was attacked by Ming army pursuers on the road and was injured. Later, in order to prevent the Li family from being exposed by Yu Fenqi, Xu Lei simply killed his life at night. After Yu Fenqi died, it took half a year before the Yu family secretly picked up the bones and prepared the whole family to return to their hometown to live in seclusion. For the same reason, Xu Lei instructed his confidant to kill the family halfway, to eliminate future troubles. As for Yu himself, the rope that had been prepared from the study in his arms that had been prepared for a long time was the answer!

Xu Lei's answer was equivalent to acknowledging all this. Yu almost fainted on the ground, but at this moment, a voice answered for Yu.

"Of course she couldn't know, but you couldn't hide it from everyone."

The cabinet in the inner room opened, and a man with a slutty family came out. Xu Lei knew him. This man was a slave who sold himself to his house in the second half of the sixth year of Yongli. His surname was Yu Zecheng. He usually cleaned the outer yard and could do the moving and resisting work in the kitchen. He was still hardworking, but when he actually appeared here, Xu Lei immediately understood everything.

The beads of sweat were falling to the ground, and the colic in his belly made him unable to speak. The smile that the man had on weekdays had disappeared, his face was cold like a living dead, but this did not prevent him from confirming what Xu Lei was thinking.

"My name is Yu Li, and his name is Zecheng. He is the general manager of the Military Information Department of the Kuaiji County Prince's Mansion in Hangzhou. He was fortunate to serve as the king's personal soldier..."

Chen Wen's three young soldiers on Tiantai Mountain back then were naturally Yang Kai, who was the commander of the Zhejiang Coastal Cruise Navy. Yu Mingting also had the identity of General Guan Guang Pingbo Seal; Zhang Jun followed Chen Wen for the longest time and is now in the Supervision Department; and Yu Li is the leader of the military intelligence department in Hangzhou, a city whose strength is only comparable to Nanjing.

In the sixth year of Yongli, because Wang Sheng was transferred to the Superbiao Camp by Chen Jin, Yu Li had to withdraw from Quzhou and then transferred to Hangzhou to be responsible for the intelligence collection work here.

There is a saying that it is dark under the lamp. Xu Lei is an officer of the Typing Battalion, and his uncle is even Tian Xiong's confidant. No one can doubt it when he uses this as a stronghold. Those vendors who come to deliver vegetables on weekdays, and even the chefs who changed the Xu family two years ago, are all members of the Hangzhou Station of the Military Information Department, especially they never get information from here, which no one would have thought of.

"The king said that a scum like you is even more despicable than the dog thief Wang Sheng, and he is not qualified to enter the glorious group of my Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings. Therefore, the king asked me to send you a trip. The result now can be considered as a good return to heaven, right?"

At this moment, Xu Lei's consciousness became more and more blurred as the pain worsened. After Yu Li finished speaking, he ignored him and turned to Xu Yu, who was the same surname as him in the boudoir, and asked: "Do you need me to give him another knife?"

The woman had already collapsed on the ground. When she heard this, she slowly replied: "No need, thank you for helping me to avenge my father and brother's bloody grudges. I can complete the rest by myself."

Xu Lei is undoubtedly dead, and all that is left is a matter of time. Yu Li nodded, then strode out of the room, and even closed the door again when he went out, as if nothing had happened.

The couple were left in the room. The woman who was slumped on the ground stood up in Xu Lei's declining breathing, walked to the table, looked at Xu Lei who was lying on the ground, and handed the wine pot mixed with poison in her hand, and poured all the remaining wine into her mouth from mouth.

The wine pot took off his hand and broke it to the ground, and the woman fell to the ground. After a while, the pain came. Yu, who had moved to Xu Lei, reached out and touched the face of her husband who had no breath, and tears gushed out.
