Chapter Ninety-Seven: Searching for the Child
Narcissus swept around everyone and told all the things he had heard in the temple yesterday, suspecting that the Jin family he was talking about was the third sister-in-law's family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother and sister, please say something. The eldest sister-in-law cried, and the third sister-in-law lowered her head and said, "I, I'm not sure, it seems that there is such a thing." ”
Narcissus breathed a sigh of relief, and Yiyun immediately asked the third sister-in-law to lead the way, saying that she would go to the Jin Mansion to investigate the child's origin.
But he was stopped by Lord Shui, "Fourth Young Master, this incident is nominally to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, but on the surface, you can't send a catcher to help you, so let Li Zhutou take a vacation, and go with you in your own name, multiple helpers will share more strength." ”
"I'm not going", Li Zhutou's shout scared everyone, Yiyang sighed, complaining about how Yiyun mixed up in Jingzhao Mansion, and no one was willing to help at this critical moment.
Xu Zhu stood up and hugged Yiyun, "Who said that, I am very willing, this is my life-saving benefactor." ”
"I'm not from Jingzhao Mansion, I heard the suspect's voice again, I saw their backs, and I can't save this trip. After speaking, he and Yiyun smiled at each other.
Li Zhutou grinned angrily on the side, shouting that if you want to go, let's leave quickly, and the four of them followed Yiyang and the two of them towards the Jin Mansion.
As soon as Master Jin heard that his grandson was lost, he didn't come up in one breath and fainted. The third sister-in-law glared at Yiyang, "This is to treat us Zhuangzhuang as my own grandson." ”
"When did you still say this. Yiyang repeatedly pressed his father-in-law's chest and asked the housekeeper to say where the dead child was.
The housekeeper ran to the study to rummage, the child's name is Xue Yue, living in Xuejia Village, ten kilometers southeast of the city, the mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and has been dependent on the father for two people, but then the poor can not eat, and there is an old mother at home, so he had to sell the child for money.
The four of them discussed it and rushed to Xuejia Village together, and the villagers they met when they entered the village all looked at them with hostile eyes.
Two people dressed in official uniforms, two people dressed gorgeously, pulling a horizontal row almost occupied the road of the village.
"Our village is poor, but our children are not cheap and worthless, send them out one by one and die another, whether you rich and noble families are here to buy slaves or playthings. Good children are sold to you one by one, and they are all evil. ”
A middle-aged man was watching them babbling, and Narcissus shook his head as he watched the sound differ from the voice in the temple.
He looked around left and right, the silver taels he had obtained in the past few years had been handed over to his father-in-law to be responsible for the rest of the matter, and he didn't know that there was such a difficult village at the foot of the capital.
The father-in-law may have sent both the silver to the south in order not to leak out of his specific position. After this incident, they must find something to do again, and they must have silver taels to improve their living standards.
Just thinking about it, a mother and daughter knelt down in front of them, "Which family are you from in the capital, my daughter is twelve years old this year, she usually does all kinds of work at home, boiling water, cooking, washing clothes, etc., please buy her, my little son hasn't eaten for a day." ”
The mother said a bunch of words, and Yiyun was about to explain, when the bystanders interjected: "I said his second sister-in-law, you don't know how Hua'er Yue'er died, you still dare to sell it." ”
"Yes, aren't your men and my men looking for work, maybe they'll come back with the money in a few days, and wait, your youngest son is a baby, isn't the eldest daughter?" ”
As soon as Narcissus heard Yue'er's name, she hurriedly said, "This sister-in-law, you misunderstood. We are the owners of Yue'er's family, and we are here today to send some silver taels to Yue'er's father to comfort him in the pain of losing his daughter.
If it's convenient for you, can you take us to Yue'er's house. ”
Narcissus said and took out a piece of broken silver, and the sister-in-law had already raised her hand and swallowed saliva at the silver, but she didn't dare to take it.
Narcissus suddenly dodged, and a stone flew over, and Li Zhutou immediately supported him, "Are you okay?" he shook his head.
Listening to Xu Zhutou's "ahhh
"His second sister-in-law, don't embarrass our Xue family, get out of the way. ”
Although the villagers in front of them had no tools, their expressions were really scary, and Narcissus shouted that they should leave first, and then talk about it later.
The four of them didn't dare to stop all the way to the gate of the broken temple, and they had already thrown off the villagers.
"Ahem, four old men, each of them has no low martial arts, but they were chased like rabbits by a few villagers. Xu Zhutou said while panting.
Narcissus pointed to the temple and told everyone to go in first and rest for a while, and then act after dark.
The four of them lit a fire and sat in a circle, staring wide-eyed. Li Zhutou suddenly found that Yiyun's eyes had not left Narcissus, and said anxiously: "Chief Catcher, you are responsible for this matter, come up with an idea, what should we do after dark?"
Narcissus interjected, "That village doesn't look big, the road we took when we entered the village should be the main road in the village, and after a while, Xu Zhutou and I will be in charge of the left side of the road, and the two of you will be in charge of the right side of the road, so you can only work hard to go door to door to see." ”
Xu Zhutou nodded with an "ah", Yiyun stared at Narcissus and thought, if it was really a fairy, what had he experienced in the past few years made him so calm and calm.
The same was true at that time, and after a while, everyone's tasks were arranged, and the friendship with the wine could also make everyone willing to do what he proposed.
"I can't find it like this, what should I do next?" Li Zhutou suddenly interjected, and Narcissus stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back.
"Looking at the reaction of the villagers, the whole village may know about Yue'er's accident, and they may also know that they robbed the child, otherwise they would not be so resistant to outsiders. ”
Narcissus muttered, thinking that she was going to investigate, and she was dressed up as a wicked person, with her sword on their necks, and she knew everything she wanted to ask.
But if you can't propose this method at this time, Yiyun will definitely not agree, and you can't show that you have the idea of masking yourself.
Yiyun said let's try it first, and several people stood up.
When the four of them arrived at the village, it was already dark, and the moon was only a crescent moon tonight, and even if the sun was shining during the day, it would not be bright at this time.
"Wait a minute", Xu Zhutou suddenly shouted and stopped them. A few people didn't feel anything unusual, but they were frightened by him and looked at him.
"Isn't that a ghost in front of you, like a figure, shorter than a human, with three legs, what is it......?"
Xu Zhutou was muttering, Li Zhutou pushed him and walked forward, Yiyun glanced at him and followed, Narcissus looked at him and shook his head, and followed.
Xu Zhu raised his head and wanted to call them but didn't dare, so he shivered and ran forward.
Seeing that Li Zhutou was supporting an old woman, the old woman was hunched on crutches, which was indeed very similar to the figure he had just seen, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are an official, my unfilial son got into trouble and instigated his eldest brother to rob other people's children ......", before he finished speaking, several people looked at each other and became vigilant.
