The carriage did not enter the village, but drove past a small path next to the village and came to the foot of a mountain behind the village. There was a wooden house with three houses. On the side of the house was a vegetable field, planting various vegetables and fruits.

The carriage stopped outside the yard gate. They got off the carriage. Ouyang asked them to wait outside. He went inside to see if Sister Yao was there.

Ouyang walked in, Chu Xinyu walked to the fence woven with bamboo. The fence was covered with Tian Ronghua and Ding Gongteng, about one meter high. She saw Ouyang walking to the main room and took a look. The door was open, but there seemed to be no one inside. He turned to the house next to him and called in.

A little girl about four or five years old walked out.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Is your mother at home?"

The little girl stared at Ouyang for a while, as if she had some impression of him, and said, "I'm in the backyard vegetable field, I'll take you there." After that, she turned around and ran to the backyard.

Ouyang made a gesture to Chu Xinyu, asking her to wait a moment before following the little girl.

After a while, Ouyang came out of the backyard and said, "Come in and sit first, and she will come after she finishes her work."

Chu Xinyu walked in. She did not enter the house, but sat at the stone table in front of the yard. It was very quiet. Occasionally, I heard a few roosters crying. The chicken house was surrounded by fences, and there was a well next to it, and a wooden barrel was hung on the wellhead.

At this time, a woman wearing a cotton shirt walked out of the backyard, holding a small spatula in her hand, and the little girl followed her, holding a few yellow fruits in her hand.

When Chu Xinyu saw her, her eyes kept falling on her. The woman was dressed simply, with her hair tied with only a strip of cloth, and there was no jewelry. As Lan Yi said, she was several years older than the portrait, and she did not have the style of a courtesan back then.

But for some reason, Chu Xinyu intuition told her that this woman was Wanfang she was looking for. Now her surname is Yao. Ouyang said that he didn't know her name because everyone called her Sister Yao.

Sister Yao put down the shovel and walked over, looked at Chu Xinyu first, then glanced at Lan Yi, and looked back on Chu Xinyu, and asked, "Ouyang said you were looking for me, don't you know what's going on?"

Chu Xinyu did not beat around the bush and made it clear his purpose directly: "I want to find out about someone from you. His name is Hu Tianba. I wonder if you recognize him?"

Sister Yao's eyes flashed and she shook her head and said, "I don't know you, I've never heard of this person."

Chu Xinyu knew that she would say this. Seeing her dressing so low-key, she really wanted to put aside the past and start over here. The little girl might be her daughter. She is now a family, and Hu Tianba is a pirate. Although he has disappeared now, she is still one of the important wanted criminals in the court, and no one wants to have anything to do with him.

Chu Xinyu then said: "Sister Yao, it may be a presumptuous thing I asked this just now, but this person is really important to some people. Can I talk to you alone?"

Sister Yao refused and said, "There is nothing to talk about. I really don't know this person, and I don't know why you think I will know this person?"

Chu Xinyu leaned into her ears and said in a voice that only two people heard: "Six years ago, next to a pleasure boat by the river, there was a whipped girl. She had a red mole on her shoulder. She was..."

"You..." Sister Yao glared at Chu Xinyu in surprise, then looked nervously at the house on the right, and then said, "You follow me."

After saying that, she walked to the middle of the vegetable field, a little far from the house.

Chu Xinyu followed the past.

"What do you want?" Sister Yao asked in a low voice.

Chu Xinyu said: "Actually, I don't want to do anything. I just want to know where Hu Tianba is now? Four and a half years ago, he disappeared, but recently he heard that there was a murder case four years ago when he was the leader, slaughtering all the people on the ship."

When Sister Yao heard this, she shook her head and said, "It's ridiculous! He died four and a half years ago."

"Dead? How is that possible?" Although Chu Xinyu guessed that Hu Tianba might have died, he was still surprised when he heard it from others. He was a hero and his martial arts were not inferior to his father. How did he die?

"He was poisoned, it was a chronic poison. When he found out, he was unable to save it. He was afraid that I would be chased by his enemies, so he secretly sent me away. In the past two years, many people have committed crimes under his name, but none of them are him. And..." Sister Yao's eyes couldn't help but red. "And when he robbed the ship merchant, he never slaughtered everyone. He killed corrupt officials and those profiteers who bullied the people. He would not kill innocent people."

"When you were whipped, did he save you?"

"Yes, how do you know? Could it be..."

Chu Xinyu shook his head, "No, I'm not there, I heard from my friend."

It turned out that the man who saved Wanfang was really Hu Tianba. She and her father's leader were killed on the boat that day, and her figure was similar to Hu Tianba, but she remembered that the man who saved Wanfang had no scorpion tattoos on the back of her hands. She was afraid that Hu Tianba would deceive Sister Yao and pretended to be poisoned, so she said, "By the way, is there a scorpion tattoo on the back of Hu Tianba's hand?"

Sister Yao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, he didn't have this tattoo, but he had a brother tattoo, which was black."

When Chu Xinyu heard this, he was excited and asked, "Is his figure similar to Hu Tianba?"

Sister Yao nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Ba suspected that he poisoned him. Among all the brothers, he was the least capable, but Brother Ba trusted him very much. Brother Ba would take him wherever he went, and he seemed to know a lot. He helped Brother Ba solve many problems. In just one year, the brothers in the gang looked at him with admiration.

After Brother Ba found out that he was poisoned, the brother began to secretly encourage Brother Ba’s subordinates to reselect a new leader. I don’t know what I did later. Amao is Brother Ba’s cousin, so he might know it when asked."

"What's that brother's name? Where is Amao now?" Chu Xinyu heard the point. This Amao must have known some inside information. And after she said this, the brother is likely to be the one who colluded with Xu Zhilan and killed her and her parents.

"I'm called Xu Haoguang, but I don't know if it's a pseudonym! Before he joined Brother Ba's team, he was a Green Forest hero. Because Brother Ba saved him, he followed him, but who knew that he would poison Brother Ba. As for Amao, I saw him two years ago, but I don't know where he is now?"

When Sister Yao said this, she seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "By the way, I heard him say that she wanted to find Xu Haoguang to avenge Brother Ba, but later on, I don't know what happened. He didn't come to me, and he told me to hide my identity and not to show up and forget everything in the past. That's why I left the capital and lived in Baisha Village, and made a living by growing vegetables."

"Why are you sure that he poisoned Hu Tianba? Did that Mao say that?"

"Yes, it was Amao who said that after Brother Ba left, Xu Haoguang took over Brother Ba's team. Amao and his brothers were dissatisfied, but he was kicked out of the team. That's all I know. Amao may be afraid that if I know more, he will get into trouble, so he didn't tell me too much about Brother Ba's death."

As Sister Yao spoke, she did not hide anything she knew and told Chu Xinyu everything she knew. Hu Tianba had been kind to her and was very kind to her. Even though she knew that she had not lived for a long time, she had to help her redeem herself and let her leave.

Originally, she wanted to hide this past story in her heart forever, but Chu Xinyu said that people outside deliberately slandered Brother Ba and asked him to be someone else's scapegoat, and she had no choice but to repay Brother Ba. But now someone wants to find out what happened back then, and she has no choice but to tell the truth, hoping that Chu Xinyu will give Brother Ba a cleansing.

Chu Xinyu analyzed Sister Yao's words in his mind. If Sister Yao was telling the truth, then Xu Haoguang was the person she was looking for. But was he colluding with Xu Zhilan by the name of Hu Tianba? Or was he the same group as Xu Zhilan?

If it was the latter, Xu Zhilan really hid too deeply. Of course, she had the initiative. It was also possible that Xu Hao could just send him to Hu Tianba as an insider and do some bad things that would harm the world in the future. He would be able to use Hu Tianba's name as Hu Tianba, because no one had seen Hu Tianba's true face, and then the matter would be exposed, and he could replace him if he found someone.

Fortunately, she found Wanfang earlier. It would be even better if Amao and Xu Haoguang could be found. All the truth would have surfaced, but she didn't know where Amao and Xu Haoguang were at this moment, and Sister Yao didn't know either.

How can I find them? Chu Xinyu pondered for a moment, then asked: "Can you tell me what Amao looks like, and what Xu Haoguang looks like?"

Sister Yao looked at her and asked, "Will you be honest with Brother Ba when you find them?"

Chu Xinyu said: "If Xu Haoguang did this, yes, we will definitely arrest him and restore your brother Ba's innocence."

Upon hearing Chu Xinyu's promise, Sister Yao then described the appearance of Amao and Xu Haoguang to Chu Xinyu. Chu Xinyu listened very seriously and kept it in her heart.

After Sister Yao finished speaking, Chu Xinyu held her hand and said, "I will bring someone to see you tomorrow. Can you tell him what you said to me today? This person will definitely restore Hu Tianba's innocence."

Sister Yao was puzzled and said, "Isn't it the same as you?"

"I know it's one thing, but you tell him personally that persuasion will be better."

"This...will we be in trouble?" She now has a family, and she wants to consider the safety of her family's lives.

"No." Chu Xinyu reminded her: "Don't walk out of the village entrance for the time being. As for delivery of vegetables, I will ask Ouyang to send someone to collect vegetables, so you don't have to send them into the city."

When Lin Chenyao said that Fu Guanzhang knew about Wanfang, he was afraid that after he went back, he accidentally told Xu Zhilan that she would send someone to silence her, so she reminded her not to show up in the city again.

Sister Yao is not an ignorant woman. She has seen the world. Since Chu Xinyu found her, others must have been looking for her, so she nodded and agreed.

When she left, Sister Yao gave her a basket of bean fruit. The bean fruit was not ripe yet, with a little greenish yellow. Sister Yao said that the bean fruit would have to be kept for a while and it would be fresh and sweet when it ripened.

Chu Xinyu accepted it happily, took it and thanked her, but she did not bring any other gifts. She just happened to wear a jade bracelet on her wrist. The jade bracelet was praised by the Queen Mother, so she took it off and gave it to Sister Yao's daughter.

The little girl was very happy to receive the gift. Sister Yao saw that it was a jade bracelet. The gift was too thick and she hurriedly refused. However, Chu Xinyu said that she liked her daughter very much. The jade bracelet was a gift for her. Compared to the news she revealed today, the jade bracelet was not worth much.

Seeing this, Sister Yao accepted it and asked the little girl to thank her.

When the carriage left Baisha Village, Chu Xinyu said to Ouyang: "When I go back to the city later, can you send me a message to the Marquis of Peking?"

Ouyang knew that she was the future wife of the Marquis of Peking, so he agreed immediately.

I returned to the city very quickly, less than an hour.

After entering the city, Ouyang jumped out of the carriage, went back to Zuixiang Tower, changed into a set of clothes before he went to Rongguo Duke's Mansion to deliver a letter.

Chu Xinyu went back to the Marquis' Mansion directly. The coachman was Chu Xinyu's mansion. She had been recruited by her side long ago. During this period, he was the one who drove the carriage, so Chu Xinyu was not worried that he would talk nonsense after returning to the mansion.

"Girl, should Sister Yao send someone to protect her?"

Lan Yi followed Chu Xinyu back to Xiaozhuyuan with a basket, and asked her as she walked that Baisha Village was very close to the city. If someone wanted to make up her, she would arrive soon, making it difficult to guard against.

Chu Xinyu paused for a moment, "It does need protection, but we have no one, let's go tomorrow." After she took Lin Chenyao to see Sister Yao, she asked him to send someone to protect him secretly.

When she returned to Xiaozhuyuan, she immediately went into the study and based on her memory, she drew the portraits of the two people described by Sister Yao. No one else dared to disturb her and went to work on her own.

Amao looks ordinary, has a medium figure, is a little thin, has a longer face, a bit like a horse's face, but there is a black mole on his brow, which is easier to recognize.

As for Xu Haoguang's appearance, the face shape of the national character and the three-row eyes are the pupils that are very up or down, and there are many whites on three sides, so it is called "three-row eyes".

In physiognomy, people who have three eyes are more ruthless.

The nose is a hooked nose, the cheekbones on the face are relatively high, the lips are thin, and the middle of the chin is a bit concave. Overall, this person looks pretty good.

Looking at Xu Haoguang's portrait, a man holding a scimitar and a mask appeared in her mind. A black scorpion tattoo was exposed on the back of his hand holding the knife.

With a flash of inspiration, she took a pen to draw the portrait. Compared with the two pictures, her figure was indeed very similar.

Then Chu Xinyu drew another picture of Hu Tianba. When she completed these four portraits, the sun had set and everything became hazy.

The small kitchen in Xiaozhuyuan had already prepared food. When Ziling saw her put down her pen, she came over with a washbasin and asked her to wash her hands and have meals.

"After I go out, there is nothing else in the mansion, right?" Chu Xinyu asked while washing his hands.

"There is nothing else, but the cousin came again." Zi Ling said, handing her a towel, "She seems to know that you are going out and want to talk from us and find out where you are."

Chu Xinyu took the towel and wiped his hands, "In the future, whenever I go out, anyone will stop him outside the door." After that, he handed the towel back to her, turned around and sat in front of the table to prepare for meals.

However, at this moment, outside the window, she looked up at the sound, and a black shadow shook. She turned her head, Zi Ling walked out with the wash basin, and Lan Yi seemed to have just entered the study.

Sure enough, Lan Yi came out of the study and said, "Girl, you have a meal, I'll watch outside." After that, she walked out.
