Chapter 132: Duel (Part II)
Gao Mansion, Gao Lianlian waited all night and didn't receive any news, and it was almost dawn before dawn that Xiaohong reluctantly closed her eyes and rested under the promise that she would notify her as soon as there was news. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen she woke up, the sun was already shining brightly in front of the window, and the room was quiet, and there was no one. She sat up abruptly, raised her hand and rudely tore open the curtain, and cried out, "What about the people? Where did they all die? ”
Someone responded in a low voice and walked in quickly. The person who came was dressed in green, with his head down, and his legs were slightly lame, it turned out to be Xiaoqing. Gao Lianlian glanced at her with disgust: "Why are you?" What about Little Red? ”
Since what happened last time, this girl has become silent, and she is not as active as Xiaohong to come to herself, although she didn't show it, but Gao Lianlian knew that this girl must resent herself in her heart. Hmph, it's just a slave, the slave's original life is in the hands of the master, the master wants her to give birth to her to live, and she has to die if she dies. After this incident, find a reason to get her out, so as not to be an eyesore.
"Back to Miss, Xiaohong went out of the house just now, but she accidentally fell halfway through the road and broke her leg. A well-wisher sent her to the hospital for treatment, and she has not yet returned. Xiaoqing replied with her eyes lowered, but the hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched tightly into a fist, and she also saw the disgust. I was even more resentful in my heart, and all my misfortunes were caused by the femme fatale woman in front of me.
"What, broke your leg?" Gao Lianlian raised her voice suddenly, and Xiao Qing's body couldn't help but tremble.
But Gao Lianlian just scolded fiercely: "Useless thing!" And there was silence.
Xiaohong broke her leg, no one can go to inquire about the news, and I don't know what the situation is now, Gao Lianlian's heart is like fifteen buckets - seven up and eight down.
After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and ordered, "Xiaoqing, come here." ”
Xiaoqing approached according to her words, but Gao Lianlian didn't follow up again, Xiaohong quietly raised her head and observed her with the corner of her eye, and found that she frowned, thinking of the news she received in the early hours of this morning, a ghostly light flashed in her eyes, but she still lowered her head and said respectfully: "Miss, what do you want to tell the slave?" ”
"You, you quietly go to Tang Gongzi's house in Qinghe Village and ask Aunt Li if she has any news about Tang Gongzi. Remember, be quiet. After speaking, he explained in a vague manner, "Miss last night, I had a dream, I dreamed that Tang Gongzi came back, and I was very worried about it. But this is my heart, and I don't want to be known, so go quietly, and don't let anyone find out, not even Madame. Do you understand? ”
"Yes, the slave and the maid understand that the slave and the maid will go quietly and not tell anyone." After Xiaohong finished squatting and blessing the ceremony, she walked out.
Suddenly, the voice of a little girl came from the door: "Madam! Madame is coming! ”
A majestic voice came: "Has Miss risen?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, not yet."
"Hmm."
Then the sound of eager footsteps came, and Mrs. Gao opened the curtain and broke in, followed not by Mama Li, but by a girl with a golden lock in a woman's hair ornament.
"Mother, why are you in such a hurry?" Gao Lianlian asked in surprise when she saw this, she already had a ghost in her heart, and she felt uneasy in her heart.
"Lian'er, get up quickly, something happened." Mrs. Gao panted.
Gao Lianlian's face turned pale in an instant, something happened, something happened, could it be......
"Li Zhutou came and said that he would take your father and you to the court for questioning." Mrs. Gao was in too much of a hurry, so she paused several times before finishing her sentence.
Jin Suo hurriedly helped her sit down on the chair, and then took the tea handed over by the little girl: "Don't worry, madam, take a good breath first, take a sip of tea, everything has a master." ”
Mrs. Gao took the tea in her hand, and caught a glimpse of the half-green bracelet exposed in her sleeve, and a sour feeling appeared in her heart, the old man really spoiled her more and more, and blamed herself for her belly, and she had not moved since she gave birth to Lian'er. But no matter how favored she is, she is a girl who has a room, not even a concubine. Thinking of this, he snorted in his nose and said impatiently: "It's none of your business here, go down." ”
Jin Suo was stunned for a moment, saw the coldness in his wife's eyes, and was slightly shocked in his heart, squatted down to make a blessing, and retreated quietly.
Subsequently, Xiaoqing also came out, Jin Suo saw her standing with her head bowed, so he stepped forward and whispered hello, and took her hand affectionately and chatted, the topic always revolved around Miss: How is Miss's legs, what do you usually like to eat, and has you been in a good temper lately? Words are constantly tempting.
Xiaoqing was cold and indifferent, and she didn't talk much, and she only answered after asking three sentences, most of them were "Well, it's good, I don't know." No matter how Ren Jinsuo tried it, he couldn't ask any useful words, so he had to let go of her hand in the end.
In the house, Gao Lianlian saw that there was no one, grabbed her mother's sleeve, and asked with a panicked expression: "Mother, is Li Zhutou here to arrest me?" ”
Only then did Mrs. Gao notice her daughter's unusually pale face, reached out and touched her forehead, and found that there was a layer of cold sweat on it.
"Lian'er, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Mrs. Gao asked with concern.
Gao Lianlian impatiently pushed her hand away: "Oh, mother, what time is it now, don't care if I'm comfortable or not, answer me quickly, is Li Zhutou here to arrest me?" ”
Mrs. Gao asked strangely, "Lian'er, why do you think so?" Li Zhutou just said that your father was going to talk to you. It's strange to say, I heard him say that it was because of the Lin family, that is, the little slut Lin Xiaohan's family, a robber broke into their house last night and committed murder, but what does this have to do with your father and daughter? ”
Then he said to himself indignantly: "Oh! Is it up to us if something happens to their family? Outrageous! However, I wish their whole family was dead, and it would save them from being an eyesore! ”
Gao Lianlian's heart jumped wildly, and her voice trembled and asked, "Then, are their entire family dead?" ”
"No, I haven't heard of it, my mother just hates their family, so she said that. Lian'er, what's wrong with you? Do you know something? Mrs. Gao finally noticed her daughter's strange appearance, and her daughter's expression and questioning were too strange.
"No, no, nothing." Gao Lianlian hesitated and asked, "What about Dad?" What did Dad say? ”
"Your father met Li Zhutou on the way back and was called to the yamen. He just asked the executive's family to bring me a message, saying that I would try to drag Li Zhutou, and he would quietly go to the yamen to meet the county master first. No, I just told Li Zhutou that you are unwell, so I'll come over and take a look first. Right now, Li Zhutou is drinking tea in the front hall and waiting for me to reply. Hey, I don't know what's going on, but I actually called you to the yamen. The thought of this makes my heart tremble. Mrs. Gao frowned and sighed.
"My daughter doesn't know, maybe they're mistaken." Gao Lianlian pretended to be calm and said.
Mrs. Gao remembered her abnormal words and deeds just now, she chuckled in her heart, and said solemnly: "Lian'er, tell your mother the truth, have you been hiding anything from your mother recently?" Did you provoke that Lin Xiaohan? ”
"Mother, I didn't. What can I hide from you? Gao Lianlian said with a strong smile.
Mrs. Gao carefully observed her for a while, and Gao Lianlian tried to make herself behave normally. In the end, Mrs. Gao didn't notice anything, reached out and patted her shoulder, and reassured: "It's good if you don't have it." Okay, Lian'er, you get up and freshen up first, just in case Li Zhutou insists on taking you to the court. But don't be afraid, I'm sure your dad will be able to settle this matter. ”
Gao Lianlian couldn't, so she had to call the girl in to serve her and freshen up. During this period, Mrs. Gao told her a strange thing: "By the way, Master Song came here in the morning and left a letter for your father, I asked Mama Li to send it to him, but something went wrong on the way, Mama Li sprained her leg, and the letter turned into a blank sheet of paper in your father's hands, which is really strange!" ”
After speaking, he muttered: "It's really evil, why have someone in our family sprained his foot recently." First you, then Mama Li, and Xiaohong. Looks like I'm going to have to go to the temple to burn incense and ask for a few peace charms for our family. ”
Master Song's letter, could it be about that incident? But the letter turned into a blank slate. Gao Lianlian was very puzzled, and her heart was extremely uneasy.
It turned out that Gao Renhe hurried to the medical hall in the morning to see Mama Li, only to know that the letter was written by Master Song, and Master Song told him that the letter was very important, so it must have been Zhu Ming who had something to tell him, but he really couldn't guess what it was. And the letter turned into a blank piece of paper, it was impossible for Master Song to play tricks on him, so ...... Thinking of Mama Li's injury, he was as shrewd as he guessed that someone was stumbling on him.
has been in business for many years, and he has naturally made a lot of enemies, not to mention the close, the surname Han, and the Lin family, all of which are his enemies.
The Lin family, Lin Xiaohan, and Gao Renhe's eyes narrowed, and there was devouring hatred in their eyes.
He was about to go to the Yamen to ask Master Song for clarification, but on the way he met Li Zhutou. Li Zhutou was polite to him, but he didn't dare to confide too much, just said that there was a case and wanted to summon their father and daughter for questioning.
Gao Renhe familiarly stuffed a piece of silver into Li Zhutou's hand, Li Zhutou pinched it, a smile appeared on his face, turned his head to look, saw two subordinates following behind, waved their hands to let them retreat, and then said in a low voice: "It was Lin Jincai's family that robbers sneaked in and committed murder last night, and as a result, the case involved Tang Dashan, and thus you and Miss Gao." ”
Gao Renhe was shocked, and when he was about to ask carefully, Li Zhutou refused to say: "Master Gao, this head catcher is already an exception, if you ask again, it will be embarrassing for me." After speaking, he instructed one of his subordinates to take Gao Renhe to the yamen, and he took another subordinate to Gaofu.
Gao Renhe secretly hated, this surnamed Li, was too unreasonable, and while thinking about taking eye medicine from Zhu Ming, he pondered this case in his heart.
As soon as Gao Lianlian finished freshening up, a girl waiting in the front hall replied: "Madam, Miss, Li Zhutou is urging him tightly, saying that if Miss doesn't go out again, he will break in and invite someone." ”
"This Li Dasha is too much, it's just a small head catcher, and he dares to be so arrogant, and he will be an arrow with chicken feathers. I'll talk to the master about it when I get back. Mrs. Gao scolded angrily, but finally there were concerns, looking at her daughter's blue face, she comforted helplessly: "Lian'er, don't be afraid, my mother will accompany you, I believe that your father will be fine." ”
Gao Lianlian's hands and feet trembled when she heard this: "Mother, my daughter is not going, my daughter is afraid." It's better for you to say that your daughter is sick, yes, sick, and she is very sick and can't go to court. Gao Lianlian planned to use this as an excuse again.
When Mrs. Gao heard it, yes, this is a good excuse. Even if it is finally discovered, it can delay time, maybe the master has already dealt with the matter for a while, and Lian'er will not have to go.
"Okay, it's up to you." Mrs. Gao's motherly mentality, and she is reluctant to let her daughter go out and show up to be watched.
So he went out in person to explain to Li Zhutou: "Li Zhutou, the little girl is infected with the wind and cold, and she is so sick that she can't get out of bed. Can you be accommodating, if there is anything, my lord will go. Mrs. Gao's tone was polite and sincere.
is sick, although Li Zhutou doesn't believe it in his heart, but he has said it all to this point, and he can't ignore the life or death of the young lady and pull others to the court. Therefore, he nodded and said that he would go back and ask the county master for instructions.
Gao Lianlian waited for Li Zhutou to leave, and then asked the little girl Xiaoqing who served if she had returned. Knowing that Xiaoqing had just gone out, he scolded angrily: "This cheap hoof, after this incident, see if I don't peel off her skin." ”
Mrs. Gao looked at her suspiciously: "Lian'er, I heard that Xiaohong broke her leg when she went out in the morning, and now you send Xiaoqing out again, what are you asking them to do outside?" Do you have something to hide from your mother? ”
"Mother, I ......" Gao Lianlian was just about to distinguish, but Mrs. Gao waved her hand to stop her, "Mother doesn't mean anything else, Mother is afraid that you will be impulsive and cause a big disaster, and then Father and Mother will not be able to clean it up for you!" Isn't the lesson from last time enough? For this reason, you were forced to go to Yixue every day to sweep the floor, and you lost face, you ......" Mrs. Gao saw her daughter biting her lower lip, her eyes were red, her body was trembling with anger, her heart softened, and she hugged her, "Okay, okay, mother won't talk about it." Lian'er, don't worry, this breath, sooner or later, your father and mother will give it to you. ”
Waiting for you, the daylily is cold! I can't bear it, revenge, I still have to rely on myself. However, what was the result, whether they were dead or not, Gao Lianlian secretly thought in her heart.
Let's say that Gao Renhe did not go directly to the court, but bribed the official errand, went to the back door of the county government in private, and stuffed a piece of broken silver for the mother-in-law guarding the door to ask to see Zhu Ming, first to find out the situation, so as not to be passive. After half a ring, the mother-in-law talked back and forth, but she was embarrassed and returned the silver to him and said: "The master has an order, now you are a suspect in the case, you can't meet in private, if you have something to say, go to the court to say." ”
Gao Renhe's heart became heavy when he heard this, could it be that this case, even he can't settle it for me?
But he still asked unrelentingly: "Master, do you have anything else to explain to me?" "It's good to give me a hint. (To be continued.) )
