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

Deep in the mountains outside the city, there was a very hidden courtyard. If you didn't go deep into the forest, you would probably be hard to find. In the middle of the courtyard was a large open space, filled with heavy objects such as stone burdens and stone locks, as well as some wooden dummies, which were used for practicing boxing and kicking.

I saw a man holding a stone lock like a toy, practicing with it in his hands, his expression remained unchanged and his breath was calm.

"Brother Liu! You're so strong!"

Liu Hu glanced at the person who came. It was the guard beside Liu Yu. "Why, big brother didn't come?"

"The government office is keeping a close watch on things right now, so it's not easy for Lord Liu to come see you. He specifically asked me to come and ask if Brother Liu has anything he wants us to do."

Liu Hu used the momentum to throw the stone lock, and it landed at the guard's feet. The guard quickly took three steps back, saying with a smile, "I'll never be able to catch up with this skill in my lifetime!"

"Just tell me what he wants me to do, don't use official language!" Liu Hu was not surprised by the arrival of the guards. After all, it was just his brother Liu Yu who wanted to tell him something.

"I dare not, I dare not! Lord Liu is worried that someone saw your appearance that day, and the county magistrate would not obey, and would come back with your portrait and look for you everywhere. He is afraid that you will not live a happy life!" The guard said as he took the teapot on the table next to him and poured a cup of tea for Liu Hu and handed it to him.

"Many people saw me that day, but no one dared to go to the government office to paint my portrait!" Liu Hu took the cup and drank it all in one gulp, all he could think about was the scene of him talking closely with Xiao Lan on the street that day.

"But after all, keeping it is a source of trouble, so we have to get rid of it!" The guard filled Liu Hu's glass again.

"Tell my eldest brother that someone is watching the Sun family now, so it's not easy to take action! I suffered such a big setback at the hands of the Sun family, and I can't get rid of my anger just by killing a few maids and housekeepers!" Although Liu Hu said this, there was no anger on his face.

He followed his elder brother to do things. His elder brother was an official in public, while he was a thief in secret! He robbed and looted on the official roads, while his elder brother went out to suppress the bandits, casually arresting a few passers-by to report to the authorities, and they earned rewards from the government. The two of them made a lot of money.

About ten days ago, Liu Hu and his brothers were returning to the yard after drinking at night. They saw a carriage picking up people on the side of the road. It was obvious that the carriage was not used by ordinary people, so they planned to rob it.

Who knew there was a pregnant woman and a man inside, with over a hundred taels of silver on them? The woman looked delicate and tender, crying and shouting, but one of the brothers sent her away with a single blow of his sword. The man was just a servant, and he said there was even more money at home, and if he could spare his life, he would take him there to collect it!

That's why they followed him to the Sun family, ready to make a fortune by collaborating with the old man and the old woman Wang Yun mentioned. After all, they had heard that the dowry given by the Xiao family to their daughter was so large that it covered the entire street!

Unfortunately, the old woman didn’t care about the key that day, so we didn’t get the money and lost a lot of brothers!

Well, he doesn't lack the money, and he doesn't lack the brothers following him.

Now he was thinking about how to capture Madam Sun, but he also felt that if he used force, he might not be able to do it considering the way that woman did things.

"Okay... okay, the master has always trusted you, big brother! I also want to tell you that we won't need the official sword for the time being. We can try something else that's more convenient! Big brother is such a good martial artist, no one can defeat him with bare hands or a sword!"

"Got it! I will deal with the Sun family myself. If any of you act on your own, I won't be as easy to deal with as your Lord Liu!" Liu Hu glanced at the guard, who quickly nodded in agreement.

"No, no!"

-----------------

Su Ze looked at the three bodies in the yard, his brows furrowed, and he said nothing.

Liu Yu walked behind him and said, "These blacksmiths took people's money and secretly made those long swords according to the drawings given by others!" The blacksmith shop is not allowed to forge such murderous knives at will. There is no document proving that it is privately made!

He patted Su Ze's shoulder, his words filled with helplessness. "When I took people to investigate, these three people, feeling guilty, turned and ran away... My men were all experienced soldiers, and they were not careful, so they were killed just like that! However, we found blueprints and a lot of silver in their house."

Constable Zhao hesitated to speak. He had been following Liu Yu for the past few days, and he'd indeed taken his men to various blacksmith shops. He'd somehow zeroed in on this one. Before he could even report back, the body had already been delivered... They'd caught the man red-handed!

Su Ze knew that this was just a scapegoat found by Liu Yu, and he didn't even have a chance to appeal for justice.

"Captain Liu handled the case with remarkable speed. I admire you! Now that the blacksmith is dead and there are no witnesses, I'm afraid it will be even harder to catch the robber!"

"Oh? Could it be that no one in the Sun family saw the bandit leader?" Liu Yu's eyes shone with sarcasm. He had already sent someone to contact Liu Hu while Su Ze was watching him. The message from Liu Hu was that Madam Sun wouldn't come to the yamen for a portrait, and that Master Sun was a coward and wouldn't dare to casually identify him. Since the Sun family's mistress remained silent, the maids and servants naturally didn't dare to say anything either!

Now, apart from the loss of a few brothers, Liu Hu is no longer in any danger!

However, in his opinion, it is better to take precautions before it happens and find an opportunity to make them shut up completely.

Recently, County Magistrate Su sent several constables to stay in the Sun family disguised as servants, probably to prevent them from destroying the witnesses.

I just don’t know what Liu Hu is up to and why he doesn’t let me take action.

"You've reminded me! With so many people here, it's impossible that no one has seen the robber's appearance. They are probably just afraid of retaliation and dare not say anything. I will interrogate him carefully and I will definitely be able to find out something!" After Su Ze finished speaking, he waved to call Constable Zhao.

"Go, call everyone in the Sun family who had contact with the robbers that night!"

"Yes!" Constable Zhao was about to go out after receiving the order. Liu Yu reached out to stop him but failed.

"In fact, it's not just the Sun family. I also saw the bandit leader that night..." Su Ze lowered his head in thought, as if he had something to hide.

"You?" Liu Yu didn't know that Su Ze had also seen Liu Hu. Liu Hu only said that an archer confronted him for a while. Could it be that Su Ze was the archer?

"Then why didn't Lord Su say it before..." He stared at Su Ze closely, afraid of missing any information revealed on his face.

"that is not……"

"Master Su! There's a maid from the Sun family outside asking to see you. She says she wants to sue the old lady of the Sun family! And Mama Yu beside her, and she also wants to sue Doctor Wang from the Hundred Diseases Elimination Medicine Shop who was previously in jail!" A yamen runner hurried in from outside, not giving Su Ze a chance to finish his words.

"Who are you going to sue?" Master Cui was stunned and turned to look at Su Ze.

Although Liu Yu didn't know what the housekeeper and doctor were, the fact that Old Madam Sun had died was known to the whole city...

He wanted to ask something else, but Su Ze had already followed the yamen runner out of the yard.
