"You still have the nerve to ask!"

As soon as Master Cao finished speaking, the leader shouted loudly, rushed forward, pushed the butler away, and punched him hard in the face!

"what--"

Master Cao was stunned by the punch, his head was buzzing, and he quickly fell to the ground.

Before he could regain consciousness, the other party rode on him again, and then punches rained down like raindrops, soon beating Master Cao into a pig's head and causing his nose to bleed profusely.

The housekeeper and gravekeeper on the side were frightened by this scene, but seeing that the other side was outnumbered, they did not dare to step forward, but instead tacitly huddled aside and pretended to be dead.

Unexpectedly, they did nothing, but the people who came seemed to be furious. Soon, several more people rushed forward and beat them up.

The butler was beaten so hard that he screamed. While trying to raise his arms to protect his head, he asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why are you hitting me?"

"I'm going to hit you, a bunch of beasts!"

Someone cursed angrily and then attacked even more fiercely.

Master Cao was filled with hatred, but the other party was outnumbered and powerful, and he was no match for them at all. He could only secretly bear the hatred in his heart and vowed to kill these people in the future!

By the time the government officials arrived, the three men had been beaten half to death.

When they saw the government officials, the three of them seemed to have seen their saviors, and their eyes instantly lit up.

"Sir—Sir, help me—"

"These thugs broke into the Cao family's ancestral tomb and wanted to beat us to death. Your Excellency, please stand up for us—"

"I am Cao Xuehou, and my brother is the Minister of Personnel. These people dared to break into our Cao family's ancestral tomb and commit murder in broad daylight. They must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"

The person who came was Xie Xiu, and he brought a group of yamen runners with him.

A man following nearby flew into a rage upon hearing what Master Cao had said. He pointed at Master Cao's nose and cursed, "How dare you, the villain, be the first to complain! It's clearly you who colluded with the kidnapper to kill my child and make him be buried with your father!"

When he said this, he suddenly looked at the grave of the old man of the Cao family. He saw a lot of bamboo shoots sprouting from the grave, and those bamboo shoots formed the Chinese character "injustice". He immediately burst into tears and laughed, turned to Xie Xiu and said, "Look, sir, these are those children crying out for justice for themselves!"

When Xie Xiu looked at the bamboo shoots, his heart skipped a beat.

This is really weird!

However, he never believed in the appearance of wronged souls. Otherwise, after his mother's tragic death, why didn't she turn into a vengeful ghost and seek revenge herself?

If it is not the appearance of an wronged soul, why are there so many bamboo shoots growing here, forming the Chinese character "怨" (injustice)?

Xie Xiu inexplicably thought of Xie Ying.

Although he didn't know what kind of abilities Xie Ying had, he had witnessed Xie Ying's extraordinary abilities with his own eyes.

So, could this matter be related to Xie Ying?

It seems that Gao Jinlan's daughter was buried with the fifth old man of the Cao family.

It was because of Xie Ying and Xie Rou that the human trafficker told this story.

Could it be that these bamboo shoots are really related to Xie Ying?

Xie Xiu's heart was pounding, but his expression remained calm.

He looked at Master Cao coldly and said calmly, "Cao Xuehou, someone has accused you of colluding with kidnappers to kill a young child and have him buried with your father. Do you plead guilty?"

How could Cao Xuehou admit it?

He cried out in protest, "Sir, I am innocent! The Cao family is a well-known and respected family in Gusu. How could I do such a wicked thing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man angrily shouted, "You still dare to quibble? If you hadn't done such a wicked thing, how could there be so many bamboo shoots growing on your father's grave? Even forming the word 'injustice'?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned to Xie Xiu and said, "Sir, everything I said is true, and I have evidence!"

At the end of his words, he took out an envelope from his pocket and took out a folded piece of letter paper from it.

After carefully unfolding it, he handed it to Xie Xiu.

When Xie Xiu took the letter and looked at it, his heart skipped a beat again!

The letter paper contains not only Cao Xuehai's handwriting, but also Cao Xuehai's tone!

It not only states that Cao Xuehou had eight boys and girls buried with his father, but also asked a Feng Shui master to set up a Feng Shui formation in the tomb to bring good fortune and prosperity, hoping to use those eight boys and girls to ensure the continued prosperity of the Cao family.

Not only that, the eight boys and girls were all poisoned to death!

These are eight lives!

"Cao Xuehai" also swore in the letter that every word he said was true, and if he lied, he would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.

He also said that he regretted not stopping it and aiding and abetting the evil, watching Cao Xuehou commit murder.

Xie Xiu suddenly felt some sympathy for Cao Xuehai.

This person has clearly been impersonated again!

He didn't believe that Cao Xuehai would take the initiative to report Cao Xuehou. It was obvious that someone had deliberately imitated his handwriting in this letter!

This person is also unlucky. First, someone wrote an article in his name and submitted it, which aroused public anger.

Now someone has used his name to report Cao Xuehou.

However, Cao Xuehai deserved it.

Cao Xuehou had young boys and girls buried with him. Could it be that Cao Xuehai knew nothing about this?

He is Cao Xuehou's biological brother. When Old Master Cao died, how could Cao Xuehai, as a filial son, be unaware of the fact that he was buried with the old man?

But he knew this and did not stop it, which meant he was aiding and abetting the evil.

The impostor was also smart. He deliberately used Cao Xuehai's name to report the crime, so the matter naturally became a foregone conclusion.

Moreover, bamboo shoots grew on Old Master Cao's grave, forming a huge Chinese character "Injustice". Even if he had someone dig up Old Master Cao's grave and demanded an open coffin for an autopsy, no one could find fault with him.

Who can prove that this letter was not written by Cao Xuehai?

Even if Cao Xuehai denied it himself, it was only because he regretted it afterwards and dared not admit it!

But who wrote this letter?

Could it be Cao Wanning?

Or is there someone else?

If this matter is related to Xie Ying, who did she ask to write this letter?

Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with him?

Or was he wrong?

This matter has nothing to do with Xie Ying?

Xie Xiu was a little uncertain for a moment, but with this letter, the next things would be much easier.

Eight lives lost, this is a major case!

If this is true, Cao Xuehou’s death is not a pity!

Thinking of this, Xie Xiu looked at Cao Xuehou with an icy gaze, "Cao Xuehou, I have one more question for you: did you allow any young boys or girls to be buried with your father?"

Seeing his unfriendly look, Cao Xuehou immediately felt extremely resentful: This damn Xie Xiu! His cousin is the Minister of Personnel, and Xie Xiu dared to speak to him like this!

Cao Xuehou loudly retorted, "This is nonsense! My cousin is the Minister of Personnel. How could I do such a thing? It's obvious that someone is deliberately making a false accusation! Deliberately targeting the Cao family!"

Xie Xiu looked at him sarcastically and directly showed him the letter: "But this letter was written by Cao Xuehai himself. Cao Xuehai, are you going to continue to quibble?"

Cao Xuehou's face changed drastically, and he suddenly screamed, "What? This is impossible!"
