27. Treasure hunting

She faintly heard a voice in the dense forest on the left, so she walked slowly and slowly. At this time, it was the middle of the night, and even animals and insects were sleeping soundly, and the four fields were silent, and the voice became clearer and clearer.

When she got closer, and when she could faintly hear the voices of people, she quietly hid behind a large tree and listened with bated breath.

"Didn't I tell you last night, tell you to go, go quickly. Not only do you not leave, but you also learn to call crickets, and the crickets that come from there in the middle of the night will call? Although the pressure was low, Zhenshu could hear that this was Lin Dayu's voice.

"Lord Shizi, the slave has gone back, and he has come back again." This is another man, presumably his accomplice.

Zhenshu's heart fell into the cold ice and slowly fell, and he heard Lin Dayu say again: "I didn't ask you in a hurry last night, did the little poodle get out?" โ€

The man said, "I got rid and sold it for six thousand taels of silver." โ€

Lin Dayu said: "It's too little, but it's also rewarded by Donggong Yuyichen, why is it only six thousand taels?" โ€

The man said: "Lord Shizi, this is a poor and remote country, and six thousand taels is still the price that the slave sold under the banner that Miss Liu had embraced." โ€

Lin Dayu suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Liu's Yaksha is actually worth some silver than this little poodle?" โ€

The man said: "To be honest, Miss Liu is really pitiful, I heard that she is still crying all day long, half of it is for the little poodle, and the other half is still worried about you!" โ€

Lin Dayu said sharply: "Okay, don't talk any more nonsense." You go to Hanjiahe and wait for me, I will come over at the beginning of the morning. You don't have to give me the silver ticket now, and you can't greet me head-on tomorrow, and when I ask where the good lady lives, I will take the time to secretly give you a message, and you will send the money to her house at that time, and only comfort her parents a few words, her parents, who can leave her in the mountains and drive away, must not care much about this daughter. I will take her to Liangzhou first, and then come back to recognize her relatives when things are going well, which can be regarded as a matter of kindness to them. โ€

The man said: "King Ping came there yesterday two people, said that an old man surnamed Gu in the Chengjia Fort on the side of the Daxia River in Ganzhou did not know where to pick up a treasure map, saying that it was a place to hide all the belongings in the city when the city of Heishui City was broken, and the old man wrote a letter to the governor of Ganzhou Prefecture, although the governor reported to the court as usual, but Zhou Cheng also gave King Ping a rumor, and now King Ping called those two people to come to you as a deputy, and go to Ganzhou Chengjia Fort to seize the treasure map. If you want the slave to say, it's better to send this little lady home first, and when we finish finding the treasure map and hand over the errand, you will come back and ask to marry her, how about it? โ€

Lin Dayu said sharply: "No, King Ping is an errand there, and the lady is a lifelong event here, and I must take her with me." You went and ordered the two of them, so that they didn't have to come to me to order, just follow me from afar, and when they were far away from Huixian, I slowly comforted the lady to tell her the truth, and she couldn't come back when she was far away, so she must have followed me sincerely. โ€

The man said, "Why don't I leave a thousand taels of silver for the prince, and you will only give him five thousand taels for the expenses on the road?" โ€

Lin Dayu said: "No, I have a complete tiger skin here, and it is worth some silver." Besides, since King Ping sent someone, then he should also send a silver ticket, so we still need to worry about silver? โ€

The man sighed and said, "Lord Shizi, you should also tell the little lady the truth, otherwise there will always be flaws along the way, and if she is resentful because you lied to her, what should she do?" Besides, your family background is not bad and your appearance is good, if you tell the truth, you must be that little lady......"

Lin Dayu still said sharply: "No." As the carriage was walking on the official road, I listened to the conversations of the women in the carriage and heard that they had come out of the capital. I escaped from prison, the capital must have been full of rumors, she must have known the news that Du Guogong's son killed Ji's mother and โ–กโ–ก Ji's family, and when the time comes, don't say marry me, I'm afraid that she won't even see me again. โ€

Zhenshu's legs were so weak that he almost fell, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Du Guogong's son?

She suddenly remembered Nie Shiqiu's words that day.

She said: "Do you know Du Yu, the son of Du Guogong's mansion? โ€

Zhenyu said: "That's natural, he is not famous for disobedience, when I was a child, I went to his house as a guest, and I saw his father carrying a whip all over the house to find him to whip him, and then I heard that he was imprisoned for murder, isn't he going to be beheaded?" โ€

There is also the language of the woman and the maid.

The mother-in-law said: "That's a scandalous thing, and the water in Du Guogong's mansion can't be leaked." However, I have a sister who knows well who works in the kitchen in Nafu, and I know a little bit about it. โ€

I heard that he was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and because of the beauty of the Yang family, who continued the strings of the Guogong Mansion, the son of the world actually had the idea of coveting his stepmother. One day, the Duke of Guo went out, and it happened that the Duchess of Naguo was taking a nap, and the prince saw him outside, and quietly came in to forcibly occupy his stepmother. And it happened that the mother of the Duchess of this country was also a guest at the house, and when the son was about to do something wrong, he was seen by the stepmother and the old lady and made a noise. The prince didn't stop doing anything, and the horizontal knife killed the stepmother and the old lady, and went back to sleep in the room with a swagger. When Du Guogong returned to his home, he was furious when he heard about this, and he did not repent, so he sent him to Yingtianfu Prison. โ€

The girl was shocked that she could swallow an egg in her mouth, and only nodded after a while: "It's no wonder that it's such a person." โ€

Zhenshu slowly walked back to the house with his sore legs, covered his face and sat in the house for a long time, took advantage of the glimmer of dawn to pack up his clothes and put them on his body, went out and walked to the small river, washed his face with river water, and then slowly walked downstream.

Looking back, there are flaws everywhere. From the beginning, he wanted to trick her into going to this mountain forest, trying to trick her into bed, but she thought in vain that he was really a long-term worker, and his bad luck was forced to such a point, giving him warmth and mercy. In his opinion, perhaps she looks very funny, a young and simple little girl, who is in trouble when she first leaves home, thinking that her weak shoulders and kind heart can really touch a beast that has lost its humanity.

Zhenshu has read a lot of books, some women were deceived and raped outside**, and some women were โ–กโ–ก**, and they all cried and hung themselves afterwards. When Zhenshu saw the women in those books, he always laughed at them for being too stupid, thinking that men were tempted by money and things, and the women themselves were not police**, and it was very ridiculous to cry and commit suicide afterwards. But now that he has been deceived and raped, he realizes that he was only talking on paper in the past, and when he really encountered this kind of disciple, he was not as smart as those weak women who slapped his feet in the book.

She walked in the water in a dazed state, and where there was depth, she rose up and went down the water, and she did not struggle, but lay on her back in the water, and let the river float her all the way down.

I don't know how long I floated to the shallow place to lie down, and there was a faint voice of Du Yu calling the lady upstream, and the Zhenshu who listened to it suddenly woke up. She climbed the grass on the riverbank and stood up, seeing that she was like a chicken in the soup with a head full of withered grass, and sneered at herself in her heart: In the past, you said that you were assertive, sensible, and better than other sisters. Now it's just that I feel sorry for myself when I encounter such a little thing, and I also learn from the little feet and weak girls who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, which is really humiliating. If you say that you have lost your body, it is not painful, itchy, and there are no symptoms, but if you are bitten by a vicious dog, why should you be so depressed?

Thinking of this, she went ashore again, and strode downstream as she plucked the dead grass from her head.

Du Yu sent his little servant Fujisheng, hummed a little song and returned to the house, and when he pushed the door and saw that the house was empty, he roared in his heart: "It's broken!" โ€

It turned out that he escaped from Beijing that day, and when he ran all the way to Wenxian County, he was penniless and had no way out, so he threw himself into the house of Liu Zhang, a local big landlord, to work for a short time to earn money, and by the way, he also sent a letter to his own little boy Tengsheng in the capital, asking him to come and help him with some silver taels, so that he could go all the way to the west.

After a few days, Fuji was born, but he was empty-handed. The stepmother Yang knew that Du Yu would inevitably spend money when he escaped from the capital, and she looked at a vine student very tightly, so she was afraid that this vine would bring money to Du Yu. Fuji Sheng was also penniless, so it was easy to throw off Yang's eyeliner and beg all the way to Wenxian, and the master and servant were very bitter when they met.

Because of Du Yusheng's dignified appearance, Liu Wenxiang, the young lady of Liu Mansion, looked at him back and forth, and they looked at each other.

This Du Yu looked at the little poodle that Liu Wenxiang held in his arms, this little poodle was no more than half a foot in size, full of white curly hair, although the legs were short and the head was small, but the voice was majestic and loud like a lion, so the nickname was called the poodle. This puppy breed has been raised in the palace since ancient times, and it is a special product for the royal palace, and some favored dignitaries will also have a few in the house, most of which are given by the palace, and ordinary people cannot steal them.

But although the official ban is so, there are always people who like to steal some to play. After all, such puppies are always kept in the inner yard, if it is not the home of the closest relatives, who can find it. Therefore, a little poodle on the black market can be sold for 10,000 or 20,000 silver. Du Yu had no money to pay for the road, and he was tired of doing coolies all day long, so he had the idea of stealing this puppy out to exchange for silver. It's just that this puppy is always kept by Liu Wenxiang's side, and if you want to get close to the dog, you have to get close to Liu Wenxiang first.

Although the Liu family is rich in huge money, Miss Liu is naturally mediocre, and her eyebrows are too long because of her turned teeth, and she always has a fierce smile when she laughs. It is precisely because of her bad appearance that she has a special admiration for handsome men. After a few glances with Du Yu, she couldn't help herself, ran into the next person's room all day long, sent a cup of soup today, and a cake tomorrow.

Du Yu has never seen such a beauty in the capital, and she will look at her ordinary appearance there. But for the sake of the little poodle, he had to try his best to cope. Later, he finally asked him to find an opportunity to steal the puppy, fed some drugs and took it out, and then sent it to Fujisheng's arms to be sent to Fujisheng for sale, and Liu Zhang found out.

Liu Zhang was furious and used a strong family to search for Du Yu everywhere from Hanjiahe, and he was bound to find the little poodle back.
