Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

"Ouch..." Xue Wu imitated Liu Yu's tone, "What should we do? Those bandits are too ferocious. We can't capture them alive. We have to kill them all!"

"Killed them all?" Liu Yu was shocked and looked at Xue Wu, trying to discern the truth from Xue Wu's eyes.

"Yes, all those caught in the house are dead. I don't know if there are any who ran away, after all, there are not many of us last night. The Sun house was also ordered to go, and we are really busy. I am afraid that there will be omissions!" Su Ze replied, and extended his hand to lead him to sit down. Master Cui brought tea and respectfully retreated behind Su Ze.

Su Ze picked up the big knife on the table and handed it to Liu Yu with both hands.

"Master Liu, please take a look. Does the design of this sword look familiar to you?"

Liu Yu naturally knew the knife well. He took it with a serious expression, thought for a moment, and looked up at Su Ze: "Is this knife from the gangster?"

"Yes, there were more than a dozen bandits, each holding a gun of this style. Even the materials used looked similar." Su Ze stared at Liu Yu, seemingly just questioning him.

"The weapons in our army are all made in official places and sent to us. How can this be the same as the military sword? This bandit must be from a powerful background." Liu Yu sighed.

"Yes, and these bandits are extremely strong, and their fighting techniques are similar to those practiced by the city defenders! Can you help identify the bodies? I'm afraid someone under your command..." Su Ze paused, then his eyes showed worry, "Your Excellency will be in a passive position then!"

"Sir, what are you talking about? If anyone under my command really disregarded military orders and robbed someone, I will definitely punish them according to military law! Please lead the way!"

Master Cui led the way to the backyard morgue. There were too many bodies to fit in the room. The coroner was examining each one, and as expected, all were caused by trauma.

"Sir!" Coroner Xu Yi bowed to everyone.

"Well, thank you for trouble, Mr. Xu. Have you found anything?" Xue Wu asked politely.

Liu Yu ignored everything else and went forward to look at the bodies on the ground one by one, with no expression on his face. But when he saw Scarface, the corner of his eye twitched unconsciously. Su Ze was staring at him closely, so he noticed this expression.

Su Ze also remembered the scarred man. This man was protecting the bandit leader and blocked an arrow for him.

"Reporting to you, sir. These people all died of external injuries without exception. They should have died from injuries sustained in battles with the head constables and yamen runners. These people have very thick calluses on their palms. Judging from their positions, they should have been caused by holding objects tightly for many years. Pairing the confiscated weapons with their palms, it can be confirmed that they died from holding knives." Xu Yi spoke calmly.

"Sir Liu, does anyone look familiar?" Su Ze asked, with no discernible meaning in his voice.

"These people... are not military personnel, I can be sure of that! If you need a list, I can send someone to deliver it." Liu Yu's eyes were full of sincerity.

"It's good that he's not from the military! Then my Lordship must have nothing to do with this!"

"Of course! What do you mean, Lord Su? Do you doubt me?" Liu Yu frowned and glared at Su Ze.

"How could that be? I'm just afraid that if someone under your lordship does something behind your back, it will cause trouble to you." Su Ze stepped forward and patted Liu Yu's shoulder to comfort him.

Liu Yu pulled his shoulders back and rejected his kindness.

"Hey~ Why is Lord Liu still angry! Without your assistance, I really can't proceed with this case!" Su Ze stepped forward and pulled Liu Yu away from the crowd.

"Sir Liu, where was this official sword made, and where did the bandits come from? I'm new here, and even if I find the place, no one will answer me. If Sir Liu can help me ask, I can give the people justice. Many members of a family have died... The old lady of the Sun family is dead, killed by a single knife! The Sun family used to be an official, so how can they let it go? It's a difficult thing for me too!" Su Ze said very aggrievedly, and after he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes with a bitter look on his face.

Liu Yu glanced at him, not trying to tell whether the knife was real or fake. "Just let me check where these knives came from? These people don't want me to recognize them?"

"Didn't you say, sir, that these people are soldiers? Your word is enough! How can I not believe you? They are just some bandits, but this knife is the murder weapon, it's evidence, I can't pretend not to see it!"

"Okay! Leave the knife to me! I'll find out where I can make a similar one!" Liu Yu promised with his head held high, then asked, "Have you seen the person who escaped? Does anyone have a witness to draw a portrait? Put up a wanted notice in the city. I'll also have my brothers keep an eye on the city gate!"

"Look at what this has caused! Some of the family members died, some were injured, and most of them were burned to death. The only one who had seen that man was the master of their family. Now he is unconscious and bedridden, so there is no way to draw his portrait." Su Ze shook his head, feeling very regretful.

"No one else saw it?" Liu Yu didn't quite believe it.

"There really is no one. That lady is as timid as a mouse. She was so scared that she fainted a long time ago. She knows nothing when asked! What a useless woman!"

Xue Wu was not satisfied with what he heard and wanted to argue, but luckily he changed his mind and kept silent. Master Cui saw Xue Wu's impulsiveness and forbearance, and his heartbeat was also up and down, fearing that he would not be able to stop Xue Wu's impulsiveness!

Liu Yu nodded, his eyes complicated, not knowing whether to believe it or not. Finally, he took a big knife for comparison and left the county government office!

As soon as he left, the three of them returned to the study, called Constable Zhao, and closed the door.

"Sir, do you want to use Sun Shaohua as bait?" Xue Wu guessed.

"Liu Yu is a very smart person. He may not believe what I say. He will definitely go to the Sun family to find out whether Sun Shaohua is really unconscious. Xiao Lan followed the bandit leader all the way in the house. There is no guarantee that someone will let the cat out of the bag. I must tell you that Xiao Lan has met the bandit leader." Su Ze looked at Xue Wu, hoping he could understand.

Xue Wu nodded. Although many servants and maids of the Sun family died, there were still a few maids hiding in the corners who survived. Not all of them died.

"Should I inform Xiao Lan?" Xue Wu was a little worried. He was afraid that Liu Yu would go and find out, and saw Xiao Lan's calm and composed look.

"Have you confirmed that Lord Liu is related to these bandits?" Constable Zhao looked at everyone in surprise as they started discussing how to deal with Liu Yu.

"When he saw the scarred man just now, his expression changed! The scarred man was following the bandit leader closely! And he was asking implicitly if there was any witness!" Su Ze was very sure.

"Master Su's acting isn't despicable enough!" Master Cui looked at Su Ze, "You should show how you regret not attending his banquet, and how you now have to rely on his begging for everything! You're worried that this case will get out of hand and your position will be in jeopardy!"

Several people looked at Master Cui. What was Master Cui talking about?

"If your acting isn't good enough, Liu Yu may not believe you!" Master Cui continued, "You look too upright, so there's nothing you can do about it if you're not vulgar enough!"
