Li Xiaoran’s words struck a nerve with Daniu.
In the past few months, when he came into contact with Xu Guocheng at the racecourse, his determination had wavered.
However, Daniu quickly convinced himself that Xu Guocheng was only good at disguising his true colors.
On the surface, he pretended to be a righteous person, but beneath the surface, he was a ruthless person.
“Think about it carefully. Does the person who slaughtered your entire village have any other characteristics other than his looks and figure? No matter how similar the two of them are, there are still differences. Maybe you can think of something!” Li Xiaoran sensed Daniu’s hesitation and took the opportunity to persuade him.
As soon as she said this, Daniu recalled something his father had said. “Son, the back of Xu Guocheng’s right arm was pecked by our goose and a large piece of flesh fell off. The wound was very big, so even if it’s treated in the future, it will leave a huge scar. You have to remember this!”
Thinking of this, Daniu looked up at Xu Guocheng.
“Pull up your sleeves and let me take a closer look!”
When Xu Guocheng heard Daniu’s words, he immediately rolled up his sleeves.
When he arrived in front of Daniu, Xu Guocheng calmly revealed his arm.
What kind of arms were these?!
Previously, it was covered by his sleeve, so it wasn’t obvious. Now that his sleeve was pulled up, his arm, which was covered in wounds of all sizes, appeared in front of everyone.
Daniu looked at it carefully several times, then his expression became dazed.
“How is that possible? How is that possible?”
Although there were many scars on Xu Guocheng’s arm, there were no scars on the back of his right arm.
Each scar was slim. It was obvious that they were knife and sword wounds.
Other than that, there were no other injuries.
“You’ve got the wrong person!” Li Xiaoran sensed Daniu’s emotions and looked at him as she said with certainty.
At this moment, tears streamed down Daniu’s face. He felt angry and indignant, but also regretful and guilty.

“You can choose not to believe them, but you can believe me! Tell me, how did you know that Xu Guocheng was the enemy who killed your village?” Li Xiaoran guided patiently.
Perhaps because Li Xiaoran’s down-to-earth nature made people let down their guard, or perhaps because Li Xiaoran was an outsider, Daniu was willing to communicate with her.
“I was originally working in town for a horse seller. Suddenly, my father and a few men from the village found me with serious injuries. They told me about the calamity in the village, then told me to quickly pack my things and run as far away as possible.”
“Originally, I wanted to bring my father and those few men along. Unexpectedly, not long after, those people caught up. In order to save me, my father and those few men fought with those people and bought me time to escape. They had to delay those people while being seriously injured, and in the end, they all died under those people’s blades. I was lucky enough to fall into a smelly latrine pit. That’s how I escaped!”
“After that, I changed my appearance and went straight to the capital. Then, I rented a small courtyard near the Xu family’s residence and worked there while I waited for an opportunity to approach the Xu family.”
“A few months ago, when I was working as a waiter in a teahouse, I accidentally overheard someone saying that the Xu family would hire some servants. I felt that this was an opportunity, so I sold myself to the brokerage house. I gave the broker some money and finally got hired to work in the Xu family’s home.”
“What surprised me even more was that not long after I got hired, something happened to the groom of the Xu family’s horse. The Xu family urgently needed a groom to take care of those warhorses. Therefore, I volunteered and explained that I had taken care of horses in the past, so I was promoted to work on the horse farm to be in charge of taking care of the warhorses!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she thought of something. “That’s why you thought of poisoning Elder Xu when he was with the warhorse?”
“I didn’t think of using poison at first. I overheard their conversation and learned that they had a slow-acting poison on them. Even the sweat of the person who took it shed was poisonous, and it could continue to poison others! After I heard this news, I immediately had an idea. Then, I took advantage of the fact that the two of them were in a remote place to knock them out and take that poison away!” Daniu said, “After that, just as you guessed, I poisoned the horse every day and passed the poison to Xu Guocheng through the sweat secreted by the horses!”
“No, no! These things are too coincidental! Daniu, have you ever thought that the various coincidences were actually planned by others? Let me ask you, why did you follow me here? How did you sneak in? Also, you weren’t targeting me previously, but you were targeting the medicine I was protecting?” Li Xiaoran stared at Daniu and threw out a few questions.
When Daniu heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he was silent for a while.
“If I say that someone threw a note to me and told me that someone was brewing medicine to detox Xu Guocheng, would you believe me?”
“Where’s the note?” Li Xiaoran asked.
“It’s in my inner pocket!” Daniu said.
When Luo Cheng heard this, he walked over and reached out to look for it in Daniu’s arms.
As expected, a note was taken out of Daniu’s arms.
When he opened the note, he was surprised to see this line of words.
“Someone is detoxing Xu Guocheng. Follow the pigeons!”
Li Xiaoran also saw this line of words and immediately frowned.
“Then how do you know how to disguise yourself?”
Daniu shook his head and said, “On the way, I was stopped by someone. He said that he knew what I wanted to do and could help me. I was eager for revenge, so I nodded and let the other party disguise me. The other party also told me about the situation in this house. He asked me to pretend to be him so that you wouldn’t be on guard!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she looked at Luo Cheng.
“The other party seemed to be very familiar with you, husband. Even his smell was very similar to you, so I didn’t notice anything fishy about him at first. However, what’s fake is fake after all. After I realized that something was wrong, I used the excuse of eating to take out the medicine you gave me to protect myself! ”
Luo Cheng nodded. After handing the note to Elder Xu, he said softly, “The person who framed you is very familiar with you and me! I think this is a series of schemes.. They’re targeting you and me!”
