Chapter 135: Residence
I can't tell how many times she knocked on the door and was driven away, and Zhu'er returned to the dilapidated small bamboo pavilion on the side of the street in despair.
Yu Mingzhi sat quietly in the pavilion and drank a sip of cold well water.
Zhu'er said: "Miss, it's not good for a few households over there...... We can't go on like this, how can we let you sleep outside...... "Yesterday they really couldn't find a place to stay, and at night they were afraid of meeting Jin Wuwei patrolling the city, if they were found wandering outside during curfew, they would have to be imprisoned in the government prison for three or five days, what kind of place was that?
So they had to hide in a long-abandoned house in a deep alley, full of dust and cobwebs, and the weeds in the yard were almost a man high.
She finally got a few futons, cleaned a clean place, and the two of them spent the night.
But you can't keep it that way, can you?
How so. She sighed slightly.
Yu Mingzhi said lightly: "It's okay, look for it again." ”
Zhu'er hesitated for a moment, "Miss, let's leave the capital." How can the hands of the Qin Sheren be stretched so long, no one knows our identity outside, and we will definitely be able to settle down. ”
Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "I was born and grew up in the capital, and I didn't do anything wrong, so why did I leave? ”
Pearls sighed and reached out to help her. "Miss, shall we go to the west and take a look at the streets to the west?"
"Good. Yu Mingzhi lifted her hat and was about to leave with Zhu'er, when the conversation of several passers-by outside came to their ears, causing her movements to stop.
"Do you know that the Qin Sheren were suspected of colluding with the chaotic party because of their unfavorable affairs, and they were beaten by the emperor with fifty sticks in public. ”
"How is it possible, that Qin She is the person who is most valued by the emperor. Who has the emperor beaten, and he has never blackened his face to the Qin Sheren?"
"At first I didn't believe it. But when someone passed in front of Qin's house. Seeing Qin Sheren limping down from the carriage, he looked very bad from his face, he was really beaten. ”
"Tsk, I didn't expect him to have today. ”
"yes. Look at him arrogant for so long. It's finally a mess. ”
"Hmph. I think his good days are coming to an end. ”
"Yes, I heard a lot of people say that the people of Qin She are going to be finished. Now there is more evidence to put him to death. ”
"If he falls, we may have a good life. ”
Yu Mingzhi looked at the distant backs of those people through the white veil, "Qin Ji...... Are you going to finish?"
Pearls asked, "Miss?"
Yu Mingzhi laughed softly, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end." Let's go. ”
The master and servant walked and stopped for half an hour, and found a few houses and inns in the west market, originally some people did not know the truth and wanted to take them in, but a young man suddenly appeared next to him, shouting, "She is the wife of the Qin Sheren." When those people heard this, they immediately gave up the temptation of the money, threw it out, closed the door and said no more, as if they were man-eating demons.
"You!" Zhu'er raised her hand to hit the boy, "we have no grievances with you, as for treating us like this and forcing us into a corner?"
The boy grinned and said, "Then I have to ask you too." It's because you don't know what to do and choose such a path, so grit your teeth and go on, right?"
His appearance was extremely underbeaten, and Zhu'er really beat it.
Yu Mingzhi grabbed her arm, "Why bother to be like this despicable person, don't get your hands dirty." ”
Zhu'er was anxious, "Miss, if you don't beat him hard, you will ruin our business again." Look how I've crippled him, and there's no way to follow us. With that, she grabbed the boy by the collar before he ran away, and then slapped him down.
There was a "pop", like a firecracker exploding.
A few people on the street are looking for prestige, curious that they dare to make such a big noise on the street at this time, and they don't know whether they are bold or angry.
Zhu'er didn't stop with her hands, and continued to "crackle" and scolded: "Tell you to talk more! Look how your aunt tore your mouth today." ”
The young man held his head and wanted to hide, "You dare to beat me, wait for me to go back and tell my master, so that you can't live for a moment in the capital!"
Zhu'er said: "Anyway, I can't live anymore now, so it's better to beat you to death!"
The young man continued to shout: "When the time comes, our master will tell you to survive and not to die! Let your young lady dare to treat your master like this! Our son looks down on your merchant girl, but you don't know what to do, and you are kind enough to be kicked out of your house today, and live like a beggar!"
"Shut up!" Zhu'er went crazy with anger, her face was flushed, and she raised her leg and kicked the boy out with a kick.
The young man screamed "oops" and fell a few steps away, and the pedestrians were afraid of being implicated, so they quickly dodged one after another.
"Woo woo......" The young man clutched his chest, tilted his body, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at Zhu'er, "If you have the guts, don't leave here!Wait for me to find someone to see how to clean up your two sluts!"
Zhu'er chased a few steps and was stopped by Yu Mingzhi, "What's the use of being angry with this kind of person? Let's go quickly, look at his expression, he must really call someone back." ”
Zhu'er's eyes were red, she held her arm, and said with a crying voice: "How can they treat Miss like this? It's really a dead end, what should Miss do? Miss, we must not sit still like this!"
Yu Mingzhi sighed: "We are alone, where is anyone willing to help us? What else can we do......? Let's leave the capital now. ”
"Miss......"
Yu Mingzhi patted her hands, "Don't say it, let's go, otherwise I'm going to die in the capital." ”
Pearls sighed, "Okay." Miss, let's go!"
As soon as the two of them walked a few steps, an old man stopped their way and sighed with sympathy: "The experience of the two of them is really sympathetic, that Qin She person is too disagreeable, how can he treat his wife like this? Actually, ...... I heard that the Qin Sheren had bad luck and were beaten by the emperor, it seems that the good days will not last long, you should have no problem helping...... Are you looking for a place to stay? Why don't you go to my nephew's house, they have a small courtyard, and the tenant in front of them has just left. Freshly cleaned. Enough for your master and servant. ”
Zhu'er's face was happy, "Old man...... Would you really like to help us?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, yes, the people of Qin She are really too disrespectful." You two girls' house. The foot is not fast. Definitely can't outrun the people of Qinshe. It's better to find a place to hide. Don't worry, my nephew is a righteous and kind-hearted man, and he will keep it a secret. ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "Thank you, old man." But in case...... If it causes you trouble......"
The old man raised his head, looking like he was not afraid of death, "What is there to be afraid of! Qin Sheren should first worry about whether he will survive for five days!"
"Five days?" Yu Mingzhi was puzzled.
"yes. The old man smiled even deeper, "I'll show you the way!" If you are afraid that I am a bad person, ask the neighbors who know me. He said, gesturing to a few people who were poking their brains out of the doorway.
Those individuals responded: "Girl, don't worry, this old man Du is the owner of the Du family tofu shop in front of him, and he is a good person." His nephew is a scholar, his family is quite rich, and he is a decent man. ”
Yu Mingzhi and Zhu'er looked in the direction they were pointing, and there was indeed a tofu factory, and an old lady was nervously cowering by the window and watching.
Old man Du walked over and said to the old lady, "I'll take the two girls to my nephew's side, and I'll be back in a while, you don't have to worry." ”
The old lady was still not at ease, "What if you meet those soldiers on the road?"
"But I saw the two girls in distress, so I didn't care about it, right?" Old man Du said: "We should protect the people who Qin She want to kill, and kill that traitor!"
The old lady sighed, "Okay, you come back earlier." ”
Old man Du responded, took Yu Mingzhi and Zhu'er along the root of the wall, and said: "I heard that the emperor gave Qin Sheren five days, and if he can't find out the root of the chaotic party, he will kill all the people who are involved." Let's finally wait for this day, can we not be happy? Speaking of which, girl, why did you marry this scumbag in the first place?"
Yu Mingzhi sighed faintly, "Isn't it because there is a marriage contract at home? It wasn't until this incident happened that I found out his true face, what a ......" Speaking of this, she gritted her teeth, "I'm really stupid, not only harming myself, but also harming my family." ”
Old man Du glanced at him, he was short, so he could see the delicate chin under the white veil, but it was limited to that, and he couldn't see her expression.
"That's right!" she suddenly let out a low cry and grabbed Zhu'er's hand, "What if they can't find us and go to Guo's house to settle accounts?"
Zhu'er said: "But what can we two weak women do? Master, they are ruthless to drive you away, why do you care about them anymore?"
Old man Du heard a sob, "He's my biological father......"
Zhu'er held her hand, "Miss, let's take one step at a time, avoid the current difficulties first, and then make plans." ”
Yu Mingzhi sighed, "...... All right. ”
Old man Du said: "What a pitiful person." He rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Good people have good rewards, so the girls don't have to worry, maybe Qin Ji will be unlucky first?"
Yu Mingzhi said: "Inherit the old man's auspicious words. ”
Old man Du laughed a few times.
At this time, a large group of Jin Wuwei came to the front, and one person was dressed in red and brilliant, and he was invincible.
Old man Du shrunk his shoulders, "It's really a narrow road." ”
Yu Mingzhi looked over, and the person in red was Qin Ji.
The road was not wide, and there were no forks or alleys, so they didn't have time to avoid it, so they walked closer and closer.
She sneered and walked forward with unwavering steps.
Soon, Qin Ji also found their traces, although they were separated by a veil, but after all, they were married couples, and they could still be recognized.
"It's you. Qin Ji said coldly.
"Why, don't ordinary people be allowed to walk on the roads of the capital now?" Yu Mingzhi replied unceremoniously.
Qin Ji said: "It is true that people like you are not allowed to leave. ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "You also have to cherish the moment, maybe you won't be able to leave soon." ”
"Guo Baozhi, you wait. Qin Ji's eyes were fierce, "I will never let you go." ”
Yu Mingzhi was not to be outdone, as if he was out of the realm of life and death, "I'm waiting for you." But I hope that the people of Qin She will not die before they make a move. ”
"Huh. Qin Ji flicked his sleeves and left with the soldiers and horses.
Yu Mingzhi continued to walk forward without looking back.
Old man Du said: "It's really terrible, you dare to be so arrogant when you are dying." ”
"At the end of the crossbow, there is nothing to fear. Yu Mingzhi was dismissive.
The group continued on their way, and soon they came to a house. Old man Du knocked on the door and said to the woman who spoke, "I have brought a new tenant here, let them see the courtyard." ”
The woman glanced at Yu Mingzhi, "Who are they?"
Old man Du sighed: "It's also a poor person, it's hard to hide it from you, it's the wife of the Qin Sheren." ”
The woman was astonished and hurriedly invited them in, "Come in, poor girl." How did you suffer such a big crime, fortunately, Qin Sheren is about to be condemned by the emperor, and you don't have to be afraid. ”
Yu Mingzhi thanked softly and followed the woman into the courtyard.
The layout is the appearance of a scholarly family, and a young scholar came out of the side room, arched his hand to Old Man Du, and shouted: "Uncle." ”
Old man Du waved his hand and introduced to Yu Mingzhi: "This is my nephew." This girl is the wife of Qin Sheren. ”
Du Shusheng's eyes widened, and then he hugged his fist at Yu Mingzhi, "The girl dares to resist a traitor like Qin Ji, which really makes Du admire." ”
Yu Mingzhi returned the salute, "Qin Ji has done so many bad things, what I said is just the truth." ”
The woman from before smiled and said, "Don't just stand and talk, I'll take you to the courtyard first." If you are satisfied, you can live directly. ”
"Thank you, ma'am. Yu Mingzhi thanked him.
The crowd passed through two courtyard gates and came to a small courtyard with two rooms and a kitchen, and in the courtyard there were flower stands and wells, which was quaint and quiet.
Zhu'er looked around, and it was really cleaned, very clean, and there was a separate small door to go out.
"What do you think, Miss?"
Yu Mingzhi withdrew his gaze from a row of bookshelves and nodded, "Excellent, here it is." ”
The woman said, "These are all bought by my son before, and if the young lady doesn't like them, I'll ask someone to move them out." ”
Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "It's good to read and read in your spare time." Pearl, pay the deposit. ”
Pearls took out her purse and gave the woman some broken silver.
The woman said, "If there is anything you lack, just tell me." ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "It's very much to my liking, there is nothing missing, I don't dare to bother you." ”
"Well, you rest. The woman looked up, and the Lady Qin finally took off her hat, revealing a plain and extremely ordinary face.
Qin Ji's wife is actually just an average-looking woman, but I really didn't expect it.
The three members of the Du family walked out of the small courtyard and took a deep look at each other. (To be continued.) )
