Chapter 51 Xia Mo Knows Her Current Shortcomings
Anping County —
When one is within Anping County, Xia Mo's consciousness does not need to extend outwards for long periods, reducing the burden on the body and increasing mobility.
Xia Mo divided his divine sense into three streams and sent them out.
She wanted to send more people to check on Ma Yiyi's condition, but her health wouldn't allow it.
Outside the yamen—
"Little sister, Mother and Second Brother aren't here. Could they have been arrested too?!" Third Brother Xia scared himself so much that his face turned pale.
Xia Mo reached out and patted Xia Sange's arm, saying, "Third Brother, Mother and Second Brother are at the side gate. Let's go to the side gate."
When Xia's mother and second brother found that they couldn't get in by making a legitimate request, they thought of using some underhanded methods, such as bribing the guards at the side gate to make an exception.
Xia's mother and second brother's line of thinking was correct, but...
They took the little money they offered, but didn't let them in.
Xia's mother pleaded in a low, humble voice, "Sir, please have mercy! We'll just take a look from afar, even if it's through a few prison gates, just let us see it from a distance..."
This is what Xia Mo and Xia Sange saw when they arrived.
Xia Mo rushed over in a few strides and helped Xia's mother up.
Xia's mother's arm was forcibly supported by Xia Mo, and she couldn't bend down to support herself.
When Xia Mo came over, Xia's mother urged anxiously, "What are you doing here? Go home quickly!"
Xia's mother was afraid that Xia Mo's face would attract ill-intentioned people again, so she covered Xia Mo's face in concern.
Xia Mo gestured for her mother to look at the face mask covering her face; her face was already hidden.
Xia's mother also made a mistake in her panic, almost tearing the face mask off Xia Mo's face.
“You all go home and stay here. We can’t afford any more problems at home,” Xia’s mother said, still worried.
"Mother, I've found out about Father and my eldest brother," Xia Mo thought, feeling guilty that the plundering system had caused so much trouble for her family by trying to steal her luck.
"What?" Xia's mother grabbed Xia Mo's hand, urging her anxiously.
“Someone came forward to testify that they saw Dad and Big Brother when the scoundrels drowned,” Xia Mo said, frowning slightly.
Her divine sense had already searched the government office thoroughly and had also detected the information.
The person who stood up to testify against Xia's father and elder brother is also very problematic.
The so-called witness seemed to have had his memory interfered with, and his brainwaves were somewhat disordered.
Xia's mother, Xia's second brother, and Xia's third brother stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
"Impossible! Your father and your elder brother are not like that! They could not have done such a thing!" Xia's mother's voice unconsciously rose and became sharp.
Xia Sange looked at Xia Mo in shock.
He came all the way from Anjia Village with his younger sister, and the two of them were never separated along the way!
How could my little sister possibly have found out?!
Xia Sange had doubts, but he didn't ask.
Xia Mo frowned, carefully regaining her composure.
Her powerful divine sense allowed her to clearly remember what happened at that time.
Xia Mo said, "I vaguely remember that on the day Hunzi died, Dad was looking for odd jobs. My eldest brother and second brother were waiting in the alley where the grain merchants were waiting to move the workers. At that time, there were many other people waiting for work, just like my eldest and second brothers. If we can find those people, we can testify for Dad and my eldest brother."
Hearing Xia Mo's words, Xia's mother's eyes lit up, and she excitedly and nervously grabbed Xia Mo's hand: "Yes, we can find those people to testify for your father and eldest brother!"
The guards at the gate also overheard Xia Mo and the others' conversation.
The guards thought about it carefully. The witness who testified that Xia's father and elder brother had committed murder was also one of the porters waiting to be selected by the grain shop.
Of course, if Xia Mo and his family could find more people to prove that the person who made the accusation was talking nonsense and making baseless charges, then the charges against Xia's father and son could be dropped.
but……
It's obvious someone is plotting against Xia's father and son. This is going to be tough!
Of course, there were other reasons why he didn't rush Xia Mo and the others to leave, but instead patiently listened in.
“Besides finding the people who were with Father and my elder brother at the time, are there other ways to prove Father and my elder brother’s innocence?”
As Xia Mo spoke, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, so quick it was almost imperceptible, but the chill she exuded was felt by everyone around her, causing them to shiver unconsciously.
"I'll go look for them right away!"
Xia's mother and second brother Xia were already impatient.
Xia Mo suddenly grabbed Xia's mother and Xia's second brother.
“No, we can’t split up,” Xia Mo knew her current weakness.
Her current consciousness is a powerful cheat code, allowing her to know things that others don't want her to know.
At the same time, Duan Chu also understood that her body was too weak to withstand the pressure brought by her divine consciousness being divided into several strands!
She couldn't tell Xia's mother and the others about these things.
But she can say that.
She said, "Mother, second brother, third brother, I feel there's something wrong with this. It's like someone is deliberately targeting us. If we're separated, we'll be easily defeated one by one."
Xia Mo looked sincerely at Xia's mother and said.
The constables who were listening in couldn't help but nod, and after nodding, they were filled with astonishment.
The little girl wearing a face mask in front of me must just be a peasant girl raised in the countryside, right? But her knowledge and experience are no less than that of the yamen runners!
The constable, also harboring other thoughts, nodded: "The young lady is right. This matter doesn't seem as simple as it appears on the surface."
When Xia's mother heard the knowledgeable constable say the same thing, she realized that Xia Mo was right and that it made sense. She nodded nervously and asked, "Then... what should we do?!"
Xia Mo glanced at the constable suspiciously.
But right now, she can't explore that deep.
“Let’s form groups. Mother, you and Third Brother will be in one group, and I will be in the other. If we’re together, we can look after each other,” Xia Mo said.
The constable who was listening in couldn't help but roll his eyes.
With just these four people, even if they're split into two groups, who can protect whom?
The constable's understanding was based on what he saw.
The constables were unaware that Xia Sange was now incredibly strong, and his fighting ability was already within the range of a normal person.
The constables had no idea that Xia Mo only looked petite; in reality, her fighting skills were off the charts.
There was another reason for the grouping at the end of summer.
That is... she was worried that Xia's mother and the others would be concerned.
"Little sister's arrangement is acceptable," Xia Erge nodded, considering his third brother's strength.
Xia's mother nodded in agreement.
The two then separated, and the two groups of people dispersed.
The constable who had been following him turned around after hearing the news and asked someone to switch shifts with him, while he himself went to the Wei family in Anping County to inform Wei Zhishu.
The yamen runners all accepted money from the Wei family and promised to help the Third Young Master Wei spread the news as long as there was any news about Xia Mo.
The news that reached the Wei family was related to the end of summer, and they could also receive an additional sum of money.
Of course, the more news about the end of summer spreads, the more reward money can be obtained.
