On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

When Officer Yang heard the servant's report, his face darkened and he said, "Take me to Mrs. Ma's residence!" Then he strode away.

At this time, the Chen family members did not leave. They were all standing outside Chen Yi's house, peeking and gossiping.

Seeing Officer Yang coming out of Chen's house with a serious face, he immediately fell silent.

After the group of people left in a hurry, the villagers pushed and shoved to follow them to watch the fun!

Officer Yang and his entourage rushed to Ma Po's residence, only to find the house in a mess, with the cupboard door wide open and clothes scattered on the floor.

He looked around, his brows furrowed, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

It seemed that Ma and her family had only time to pack their bags in a hurry.

Officer Yang felt a sinking feeling in his heart, apparently realizing that Mrs. Ma and her family had fled for fear of being punished.

He immediately asked Chief Chen to ask if any villagers had seen Mrs. Ma and her family this morning!

Soon, Chief Chen came hurriedly to report, "This morning when everyone was sitting together chatting, someone saw Mrs. Ma!"

Officer Yang immediately ordered, "Bring the man here for questioning!"

After a while, Aunt Shi was called over. She kept rubbing the corners of her clothes with her hands hanging by her sides, and swallowed her saliva nervously.

Officer Yang saw this and softened his expression: "Don't be nervous, we just want to ask you a few questions, "Did you see Ma Pozi this morning? Where did you see her? Tell me about the situation!"

"That's right, it's when our men come back from the county town!"

"Many of them came back from the county town, and some people in the village asked them where they had been."

"So everyone started chatting. Everyone heard that Young Master Chen San met a bad guy when he went to the county exam. The villagers sat together curiously to listen to the gossip. When I went to look for my man, I happened to bump into Ma Pozi who was running back!"

"Did she do anything unusual at the time?"

Aunt Shi recalled, "I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, she did look a little flustered. She even apologized to me for bumping into me, which was unprecedented!"

Officer Yang nodded and asked her to go back first!

At this time, he had already made a judgment in his mind. That old woman Ma had just come out of the prison, and she was so angry that she wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge on Miss Song, but she didn't expect to accidentally hurt the young master of the master's family?

Mrs. Ma learned from the people who came back from the county town that she had accidentally injured someone.

Are they worried that their master will come after them, so they run away out of fear of being punished?

He calculated in his mind that this person must not have run far!

He immediately ordered Patriarch Chen to organize people to search for the whereabouts of Ma Pozi's family.

Chief Chen did not dare to delay and quickly gathered the villagers to search for the person in the nearby mountains where there was no human shelter.

Officer Yang was also not idle. He led a team of people to search on the intricate mountain paths.

They came from the county town. In order to avoid them, Ma Pozi would definitely choose a secret mountain road, and it is very likely a little-known secret mountain road, as her escape route.

Just when Officer Yang and his men had searched most of the mountain, a villager suddenly came running over breathlessly, looking panicked and saying, "Officer, we found the body of Mrs. Ma in the valley!"

Upon hearing this, Officer Yang felt nervous and quickly followed the villagers to the valley to check.

I saw Ma Po's body lying in the valley, with large patches of dark red blood on the ground, and it was obvious that she had been dead for a long time.

There were no obvious injuries on her body. Officer Yang squatted down and carefully examined Ma Po's body, hoping to find some clues.

To his disappointment, he found nothing unusual.

He stood up and looked up at the mountain. He saw that the mountain road was steep. He had a vague guess in his mind, and then whispered a few words to his colleagues around him!

The colleague understood, turned around and walked up the steep mountain path.

After a while, when his colleague came back, he whispered to him, "I searched along the mountain road for a distance and found some messy traces in the trees and grass on both sides of the mountain road, as if someone had stepped on it!

After hearing this, Officer Yang became more certain of his guess.

He nodded. "It is very likely that Ma Pozi and her family escaped from this mountain road. In order to avoid our pursuit, they chose a steep and difficult mountain road. It was just that this mountain road was too steep, and Ma Pozi accidentally slipped and fell into the valley."

Officer Yang, who thought he had found the truth, immediately asked the clan leader where there was a shortcut. He planned to take the shortcut to find the person!

Song Xile knew that this person would never be found. Without any witnesses, it seemed impossible to bring down Liu this time!

At this moment, her heart was chilled. A life was lost silently!

Even though she hated Mrs. Ma, she didn't want this to be her ending!

She is guilty and should be punished by the law, not die without knowing it!

This was the first time she truly felt that in this era, people’s lives could be as insignificant as ants, and could be eliminated if they got in the way!

At this time, Xiao Liu, who was in a panic at home, felt relieved for no reason after learning that Ma Po had died.

Good thing you died! The dead can’t speak!

Then she felt scared again. Could it be that this man was killed by her mother-in-law?

Little Liu glanced at her mother-in-law's gloomy expression and asked, "Mother, what about Chen Shuanzi and his wife?"

Liu snorted coldly, "Your father-in-law will handle this matter himself, we don't need to worry about it!"

Xiao Liu immediately understood that it was his father-in-law who did it!

Yes, only my father-in-law could be so cruel!

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but Xiao Liu felt a chill in her heart!

Liu's heart was not as calm as it looked!

The anger and heartache when his grandson was injured, the panic and anxiety when the police suddenly came to the door!

And the relief that Mrs. Ma felt after she fell to her death!

Shocked and angry are not enough to describe her mood at the moment!

After she calmed down, she felt a deep sense of fatigue.

At this moment, she seemed to have aged ten years and her face looked extremely tired!

She knew that she had lost this time, completely. Not only did she fail to stop the third son from taking the county exam, but she also caused her grandson to suffer such a great loss!

If I hadn’t known that I missed the county exam, I would have had one more chance to make up for it before the prefectural exam!

Her act of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead of gaining one would completely delay her grandson's fate for a year, and she would probably be so angry that she would die!

Liu calmed down her chaotic thoughts and said to her daughter-in-law, "From now on, you must take good care of Mingyuan and let him recover from his illness. Only in this way can he take the make-up exam before the provincial examination begins!"

Because the dynasty had just been established, it was the time for the imperial examination to select people. For the county examination, which was a screening examination, there would be a supplementary examination before the prefectural examination. If you could pass it successfully, you could take part in the next examination!

If he doesn't want to delay for a year, this is Chen Mingyuan's only chance!

Little Liu readily agreed!
