54. Chapter 54
The look on Xue Pozi's face was a little unnatural, she took out a handkerchief from her cuff and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said: "I don't understand Shen Juren's words, Gu Niangzi's daughter was abducted, you just bring the silver to my house, and I can't become a big living person." ”
Shen Zhuo looked directly at Mrs. Xue, and he said: "After Granny Xue completes a transaction, in addition to the tax silver handed over to the government, if the market is good, she can earn three or four taels of silver, and these five hundred taels of silver can be worth more than one hundred and twenty transactions for you." ”
After a pause, Shen Zhuo spoke again, and he said, "How many orders can Granny Xue make in a month?" If you take over my work, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking for several years, so you don't want to earn the money you have. ”
In the past two days, Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang searched all the nearby four miles and eight townships, but did not find the slightest trace of those abductors, seeing that it was just a waste of time to go on like this, Shen Zhuo remembered the tooth women in the county, these tooth women are engaged in the business of buying and selling human beings, the news is the most well-informed, and they may be able to ask for clues from them, Shen Zhuo then talked to Qin Lin about this matter, Qin Lin listened to his idea and agreed very much, the two discussed it, and decided to try their luck here Xue Pozi, just now he paid close attention to Xue Pozi's expression, I already have a few points in my heart.
Shen Zhuo's words simply said to Xue Pozi's heart, they are not poor or rich in Lixian, but all people who can get by will not buy and sell children, and those big families, no one wants to buy people every month, Xue Pozi can make two or three orders a month is already very good, this time Shen Zhuo took five hundred taels of silver tickets, if she missed this deal, she would regret not being able to sleep for the rest of her life, but if she took his money, it was not so easy to find the kidnapped child again.
Gu Sanniang's heart tightened, she understood it, this Xue Pozi must have a way to find Xiao Yezi, so Shen Zhuo and Qin Lin would take her to find Xue Pozi, but seeing Xue Pozi's hesitant appearance, it is estimated that she is still worried about other things, Gu Sanniang is secretly anxious, if there is a way to save Xiao Yezi, she is willing to do whatever she wants, but at this time, Shen Zhuo was negotiating with Xue Pozi, in order to avoid saying the wrong thing, Gu Sanniang endured and did not interject.
"Mrs. Xue, you don't have to grind, what do you mean, you can give me the right words." Qin Lin was an impatient, and he shouted, "If you can't do this job, I'll go find Pang Si." ”
Qin Lin was on an errand in the county government, and he saw a lot of Xue Pozi's selfishness who couldn't get on the stage, and the Pang Si he said in his mouth was Xue Pozi's godson, this Pang Sisan and the nine-rate characters knew a lot, he was different from Liu Er, who had made trouble in Gu Sanniang's shop before, and he had a group of younger brothers in his hands, as long as he made a living, whether it was good or bad, he did it, and now in the peaceful years, no one would sell his sons and daughters, but every once in a while, he would bring a few children to Xue Pozi's house, Qin Lin and they knew these tolerances, The children brought by Pang Si came from the wrong way, but no one reported to the official, plus Pang Si had some means, I heard that even the big officials in the state capital he had made friends, and the government could only turn a blind eye for a while.
Pang Si was originally a native of Lixian County, just because Qin Lin was not ashamed of his personality, so he rarely dealt with him, Xue Pozi was his godmother, the two wolves were treacherous, Pang Si was a man who only recognized money in his eyes, they held the money and sent it to the door, Qin Lin didn't believe that he couldn't find Xiao Yezi, but there was one point, Pang Si had no fixed residence, he lived in this county for a few days today, and he lived in that county for a few days tomorrow, Shen Zhuo was worried that things would change for a long time, so he had to find Xue Pozi first, after all, she was Pang Si's godmother, and Pang Si had many ways, so It is easier to find small leaves.
Where did Xue Pozi give up this money, she said to Qin Lin with a smile on her face: "Look at what you said, they are all acquaintances who live in the same county, as long as they can help, can I not reach out?" ”
Qin Lin squinted at her and said, "Do you mean that you can find the daughter of the lady's family?" ”
Xue Pozi's eyes rolled around, she turned her words, and said, "I can't say if I can or not, so I have to try my best." ”
Qin Lin was dissatisfied with her words and vague words, he frowned and said: "If you succeed, if you don't succeed, don't take my job, if you don't find the child by then, and you delay my work in vain, then I will never spare you." ”
Xue Pozi said to Qin Lin: "Don't worry, I'll go to Jieguan Town tomorrow to find my godson, and I'll send you a letter as soon as I have news." ”
Qin Lin nodded twice, and Gu Sanniang, who was sitting on the side, finally had her hanging heart back in her stomach.
Now Xue Pozi didn't even send Xiao Yezi back, Shen Zhuo pushed the stack of silver tickets in front of her, Xue Pozi seemed to be the first time to meet an employer who gave money so happily, she first took a look, then waved her hand and said: "Let's follow the old rules, pay half of the deposit first, and when the child finds it back, you will pay the other half of the silver." ”
"You can accept this silver ticket, I can trust Granny Xue."
Xue Pozi said with trepidation: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" ”
Having said that, she didn't refuse the silver ticket again, and after the two sides agreed, they set up another paperwork, and Xue Pozi patted her chest and said that she would give them the letter tomorrow.
It was getting late, and the matter had been negotiated, and the three of them said hello to Xue Pozi, and they were about to leave home, and Xue Pozi personally sent them to the door, only to wait for them to get out of the alley, and then turned around and closed the door.
Let's say that after Shen Zhuo and the others came out of Xue Pozi's house, it was the time of curfew, and they also encountered the interrogation guard on the way, but fortunately, someone inside recognized Qin Lin, so they were able to go home.
When the three of them returned to the Qin family's compound, it was already midnight, Zhu Xiaoyue had already taken the little brother and the royal brother to rest, Aunt Qin saw that they were back, and quickly cooked a bowl of noodles for each person, the three of them were hungry, no one said much, buried their heads and began to use the night dinner, until they were almost eaten, Aunt Qin asked: "What are you going to do with Xue Pozi tonight?" ”
Qin Lin said it to her mother after a while, and when Aunt Qin heard that it was expected to find Xiao Yezi, she recited a Buddha name in her mouth, put her hands together and said: "If I can really find the child, I will not throw my face at her next time I see the old pious woman." ”
It's late at night, Qin Lin has to be on an errand tomorrow, Gu Sanniang and Shen Zhuo have to go back to the house separately, Shen Zhuo said to Aunt Qin: "I've been bothering you to help take care of Brother Yu'er these days, and I'll take him back to the East Chamber tonight to rest." ”
"Let him sleep in my room, the child is sleeping soundly, and he won't wake him up again." Aunt Qin said.
Shen Zhuo said: "In the past few days, I haven't even spoken a few words to Brother Yu'er, so I'll take him back to rest at night, otherwise this child shouldn't be close to me." ”
Aunt Qin said angrily: "There is no father, and in the future, you should not be able to set rules in front of your children." ”
However, Aunt Qin is also considerate of Shen Zhuo's thoughts, their father and son depend on each other, especially after Xiao Yezi's abduction this time, she is an outsider, and she can't help but panic when she doesn't see the child walking around in front of her in a blink of an eye.
As she spoke, Aunt Qin entered the house and took out the sleeping royal brother, Shen Zhuo took it and hugged it in her arms, the royal brother woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and saw that it was his own father, and buried him in his arms and fell asleep.
Picking up the child, Shen Zhuo and Gu Sanniang went out of the main house, that Gu Sanniang couldn't sleep all night these days, so that Aunt Qin also couldn't sleep well, before leaving, she persuaded Aunt Qin, and Aunt Qin saw that her spirit was better than the previous two days, so she nodded and agreed.
After the two said goodbye to Aunt Qin, Gu Sanniang finally asked the doubts in her heart in the courtyard, and she said worriedly: "Where did your five hundred taels of silver tickets come from." ”
Shen was silent for a moment, and he said, "I borrowed it from Qianzhuang. ”
Today he sent Gu Sanniang back to the Qin family compound, and borrowed five hundred taels of silver from the Lilai Money Village in the county, originally like he borrowed such a large amount of silver, and there was no house or land as collateral, the money village was generally unwilling to borrow, fortunately, with his status, Shen Zhuo borrowed money as he wished, if there was no silver for Xue Pozi and Pang Si, where would they be willing to help.
Gu Sanniang's face was shocked, and immediately burst into tears, Shen Zhuo saw her crying, first a little at a loss, and then said: "Don't cry, I feel distressed when I see it." ”
Gu Sanniang covered her face with her hands, let out a burst of sobbing, Shen Zhuo looked at her figure, and didn't know what to do for a while, when he left the capital, he just wanted to take Brother Yu to live a life without fighting with the world, but this time Xiao Yezi was abducted, so that he really felt powerless, especially at this moment, Gu Sanniang couldn't cry in front of him, but as long as he was capable, why did she do this.
Gu Sanniang cried and choked, she said with regret and hatred: "God, I have made you miserable." ”
Qian Zhuang's silver is so easy to borrow, she and Shen Zhuo are ordinary people, and the five hundred taels of silver is not a small amount of money.
Shen Zhuo said: "Don't think about this, the most important thing now is to find the little leaf, as for the next one, you can always find a solution." ”
Gu Sanniang was still crying, Shen Zhuo saw that she was emaciated, and the tears on her face were still hanging on her cheeks, and her heart moved slightly, just at this time, the royal brother in his arms moved, Shen Zhuo hurriedly lowered his eyelids, and he said: "Don't cry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”
After crying for a long time, Gu Sanniang said: "I owe you so much, I'm afraid I can't pay you back as a cow or a horse." ”
Shen Zhuo's eyes shimmered, he looked at Gu Sanniang and said: "You don't need to be a cow and a horse for me, what I do is my willingness, if you are uneasy, how about promising me one thing?" ”
Gu Sanniang paused, she held back her tears, and said: "Don't say one, even a hundred things I am willing, what do you want me to do?" ”
Shen Zhuo thought for a while, and said, "I can't think of this time, and I'll sue you when I think about it." ”
Gu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, nodded silently, Shen Zhuo saw that it was more serious, so he urged her to hurry back to the house to rest, Gu Sanniang said: "I'm back to the house, you should rest early." ”
Shen Zhuo bowed his head slightly, and then stood in place and watched Gu Sanniang enter the West Chamber, in fact, where did he need Gu Sanniang to do things for him, saying these words was just to make her feel better.
