C108 (2/2)
”Today, the Fourth Miss had identified the corpse. It is probably because no one from the Zhang Family came to retrieve the corpse, that's why they came here …”
”Did you see Hai'er steal someone from the common people yesterday? Did you keep your mouth shut?”
Zuo Shaoyuan frowned, ”This matter, is not over yet.”
Zuo Mingsheng slapped the table, ”Hurry up and do it. No matter how much money you spend, keep that person's mouth sealed.”
”Yes.”
Zuo Mingsheng raised his hand towards the manservant, who then left.
There was still Zuo Mansion in the front hall, so he took a step forward and said in a low voice, ”Master, he's still in Casual Village, do you want to directly …” He made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Zuo Mingsheng looked at the butler and said, ”You take someone with you and don't leave any trouble behind. If that unfilial son dares to be disobedient, just bring him back.”
”Yes, master.”
Su Li brought Stars Pet Chain Supermarket to a restaurant across the street from Zuo Mansion.
It was dinner time and the restaurant was bustling with noise and excitement.
Su Li found a spot near the window, and a waiter immediately came over with tea in hand.
”It is my honor for Fourth Miss to visit my store. The shopkeeper has said what Fourth Miss wants to eat today, please come in.”
Su Li touched his own face. Crap, it's a sign of survival, you can be recognized no matter where you go!
She smiled at the waiter, and while the waiter was pouring tea, she pretended to inadvertently say something to Stars Pet Chain Supermarket, ”This Zuo Mansion is really interesting, there's a second young master who likes to rob girls, but no one has ever reported this to the government.”
Stars Pet Chain Supermarket nodded expressionlessly but didn't say anything.
”I was a bit of a bastard in the past, but I can't compare to this Second Master Zuo.” Su Li self-deprecatingly said.
The waiter admired the current Su Li a lot. Seeing her raise her Zuo Mansion, he went closer and lowered his voice, ”Fourth Miss probably doesn't know, but Second Young Master Zuo stole another woman yesterday, and I just happened to meet her …”
”Is there still any law in this world?” Su Li's face changed.
”Fourth Miss is quieter, behind the Zuo Mansion, there is Prime Minister's Mansion, and behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is Crown Prince. The water in this place is very deep.”
”And then?”
”Later on, the Second Master of the Zuo family left the city with his men. Other than that, I don't know anything else …”
Seeing Su Li frowning and thinking, the waiter refilled the tea cup and said, ”I heard that there is a Casual Village outside the city and Second Young Master went there to steal the women, but no one has verified the authenticity of the rumor, so Fourth Miss took it as a pleasure to hear it.”
After saying that, the waiter busily went to the other tables to get more tea.
Su Li's face instantly darkened. No wonder the Da Wa didn't come to find her.
After an entire day and night had passed, it looked like the fate of Widow Zhang was about to end!
”Someone is leaving the mansion!” Stars Pet Chain Supermarket looked at Su Li and said suddenly.
Su Li looked at Zuo Mansion and sure enough, a few people were riding horses, riding in the direction of the city gate.
”Not good.”
It was probably because she had come to find someone just now that alarmed the Zuo Mansion, and now, if she didn't go to silence them, she was either going to destroy the corpse and destroy all evidence.
”Chase?” Stars Pet Chain Supermarket asked expressionlessly.
”Chase!”
As the two left the restaurant, a carriage passed by.
Su Li wiped his face and then threw a small silver note over. He successfully borrowed the carriage, and with Stars Pet Chain Supermarket driving him, he chased after the group of people.
However, after leaving the city gates, their traces had disappeared.
Su Li looked at the sky which was gradually getting darker. It was very stuffy, probably because it was going to rain again.
She calmed her heart and carefully examined the prints on the horses' hooves. Then she pointed in a direction for the stars to speed up.
The path became deeper and deeper. By the end, the carriage was no longer able to pass through.
The two of them dismounted from the carriage, and followed the tracks of the horses as they flew forward. The Casual Village in the distance was brightly lit, and a faint scent of blood appeared in the air …
