Chapter 196: The Secret House
Aunt Shi will be twelve years old when she arrives in Huaifu. She has watched her sisters pay for the family since she was a child, and she also wants to contribute her own strength. But she was thousands of miles away from home, and being a little maid couldn't help much, so she vowed to work hard to climb up, and wait until one day to 'become famous', and then give back to her mother's family.
With this belief, she climbed into Huaideshui's bed, fought at home, competed for favor, and slowly became the most beautiful concubine. Originally, she could have contacted her mother's family in this way, but she couldn't give birth to a son, and even the one who died was a daughter, and she felt unconfident. It wasn't until she got pregnant again three years ago and gave birth to a boy that she raised her head and contacted her parents.
The timing of her action was also very coincidental, and the people sent to Chuzhou quickly replied, the Shi family happened to encounter a difficult matter, do you care?
It turned out that Shi Yi was 'uncontrollable' for a while, and slept with the daughter of a jewelry connoisseur without anyone's consent! The girl was scared half to death, she didn't have Stockholm disease, she would definitely not be casual if she was strong, just marry Shi Yi, but she didn't listen to Shi Yi's 'affectionate confession' and 'painful persuasion', and told her father about it!
Generally, the owner of a jewelry store must have good financial resources, this girl's father not only has good financial resources, but he also has a way, so he didn't say anything, directly found a relationship, and put Shi Yi in prison.
What will life be like in prison? Regardless of ancient and modern times, the status of strong traitors in prison cannot be high, Shi Yi is a young man, weak and delicate, in a group of fierce and fierce prisoners, like a sheep into the wolf pack, what will happen, guess can guess.
The Shi family is distressed, the old couple is in their sixties, so they point to this grandson to support the elderly, and now that the grandson has entered, how can they watch it? Immediately ask the living girls for help.
The girls have been called by them as cattle and horses for many years, watching the eldest sister suffer all her life and die of hard work, watching the third sister die of picking up too many customers in the Qinglou at a young age, and burying a roll of mats, the heart should be cold early, and there are not many people who are willing to help. There are those who are willing, but they don't have the strength.
The old couple put their hope on Lao Qi, who was also sold to the Qinglou by them. The seventh girl has been beautiful since she was a child, and she is also lively, she sells it to the Qinglou quite well, and she can also maintain it, she is only one year older than Aunt Shi, and she looks quite charming.
She doesn't pick up customers much anymore, and slowly moves behind the scenes, ready to be a grandmother, but there are still some people who are fascinated by the temperament of a mature woman, and some people are just good at this, so she is still very famous. She was reluctant to help, but her parents knelt down and begged her, she gritted her teeth and said that this was the last time, but she agreed.
It just so happens that there is such a person among the regular customers of Qinglou, who has a relationship with the manager and supervisor, and can dredge up the relationship. But this guest has a fetish, and is very cruel in bed. The seventh girl felt that the last hammer was bought anyway, so she cheered up and went on.
The benefactor was a man of his word, satisfied with the play, and got out of bed and did it happily. Shi Yi was quickly released from prison, but the seventh girl was miserably made and died within a few days.
Shi Yi suffered in prison, stunned all day, the old couple of the Shi family were busy serving and comforting Shi Yi, and they didn't even see the last side of the seventh girl, and they probably didn't know where they were buried.
The owner of the jewelry store was not easy to mess with, and when he saw Shi Yi coming out, he was very dissatisfied and continued the second wave of attacks.
Aunt Shi's people came at this time. Although these are all intimate subordinates that Aunt Shi has to use, but Aunt Shi has not mentioned her family for so many years, they are a little unclear about how determined Aunt Shi is to find her family, so they didn't dare to manage it directly, but after inquiring clearly, they sent someone back to ask for instructions.
Because Aunt Shi is far away, she has not had contact with her mother's family for a long time, and she knows very little about her mother's family. She had never met Shi Yi, but this did not affect her love for her brother and his brother's son. She immediately ordered that she must help, how much silver is needed, and she must escort the Shi family to Xijing safely.
But the Shi family didn't wait for Aunt Shi's people to come over, so they acted first. Over the years, their reputation in Chuzhou has been ruined. The daughters were almost dead, and those who didn't die were unwilling to help them, so they hit Aunt Shi with their ideas.
They knew the general direction of Aunt Shi's resale, and they hadn't heard from her for so many years, thinking that she was just a maid who didn't go on the stage, and she didn't have any ideas before, but now she can't go on with her 'forced', and no matter how 'difficult' it is, she has to go to see her daughter.
So the two took Shi Yi and the family of three went to Xijing. I just missed the person sent by Aunt Shi.
After all, Aunt Shi's people are few and their strength is not great, so they searched all the way, and found them just when the old couple was full of people in Xijing.
After that, it was Aunt Shi who took out a lot of silver, begged Huaide water, bought them a house, and found a way for Shi Yi to do business. As for the black history of the Shi family in Chuzhou before, she issued a strict order that no one was allowed to mention it. She even bought some subordinates to help her keep an eye on the movements of people outside the house, just in case Huai Deshui or Mrs. Huai had an order, and sent someone to Chuzhou to investigate.
Since the Shi family arrived in Xijing and found Aunt Shi, the Shi family's life has gradually improved. And after Shi Yi came back to his senses from the prison experience, people became more talkative and more capable of doing things, and soon took advantage of the momentum of Huaide Water to lay down a piece of heaven, and the silver earned could not only be self-sufficient, but also give back to Aunt Shi, and the lives of the two parties can be described as a fish in water......
"Aunt Shi doesn't know where Shi Yi is, and that's all she knows about the Shi family's affairs before." After Zhou's mother finished speaking, she performed the blessing ceremony upright.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
It took a long time before Shen Wansha was surprised and said, "This is too ...... What kind of people are these Shi families! ”
Helian Yu snorted coldly, "Trash." ”
"Let's not evaluate right or wrong, just say that this Shi Yi, who grew up in a honey pot since he was a child, even if he goes back to prison, how can he become a murderer? Still so cruel? Where did he get so much hatred! Shen Wansha didn't understand this the most, "He doesn't look like a bad guy!" "And the Shi family's daughters are living so miserably, they should kill the most!
Zhao Shu sneered coldly, "Wicked people don't put a bad word on their heads." ”
Lu Li...... Lu Li didn't know what to put on an expression, he sympathized with the Shi family's daughters, but regretted that they didn't know how to resist. Patriarchy, the grace of parents, was so heavy in ancient times that people were so stupid and filial that they had to defend it at the cost of their own lives?
What I saw in the book and heard in the rumors in the market was far less shocking than what I saw with my own eyes. Lu Li sighed and felt that he still had a lot of incomprehension about this society......
Shi Yi ...... How dare you do such a thing? He grew up almost stepping on the blood of his aunts, and he should be most grateful to them, how can he do it to women......" Huai Shuyu didn't believe it at all, he did this case.
After Zhou's mother's statement, Lu Li had some conjectures, but now is not the time to analyze these, and it is important to arrest Shi Yi. He comforted Huai Shuyu for a few words, looked at Zhao Zhu, and was about to discuss with him whether to go to see the news from Liu Zhutou's side, when he saw Hong You walk into the hall.
Hong You saluted and replied to Zhao Zhu, "Liu Zhutou's people can't find Shi Yi." ”
Shen Wansha immediately stood up, "What do you mean you can't find it?" Shi Yi is not a ghost, can he still be seen in broad daylight? Go to his house, in his shop, look for it one by one! He is now big, and there is more than one subordinate around him when he travels, how can he not find it? ”
Hong You didn't speak, just hung his head and stood solemnly.
Zhao Shu understood that Hong You was very careful, and he said that Liu Zhutou couldn't find it, that is, Liu Zhutou used various methods, and he really couldn't find it.
Lu Li and Hong You are not familiar with each other, but when they saw Zhao Zhu's expression, they also knew what was going on. He trusts Zhao Zhu, Zhao Shu trusts Hong You, and he also trusts Hong You. Shi Yi is such a big person, how can he not find it......
"I must have gone to the secret house!" Lu Li narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a fine flame shining at the bottom of his eyes, "Mother Zhou! Please ask Aunt Shi again, Shi Yi usually has strange preferences, such as places he likes to go! ”
"Yes." Zhou's mother left in response.
Mother Zhou asked over there, Shen Wansha pulled Lu Li over here to discuss in a whisper, and Zhao Shu summoned Hong You and whispered something......
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou's mother came over, "The old slave has asked, there is nothing special about it, only one is very strange." In addition to doing business on weekdays, Shi Yi goes home, never runs around, and is very well-behaved. Once Aunt Shi's subordinates saw Shi Yi on North Street and came back to sue her. North Street is not a high-end place, but a dark area is very famous, she was worried that she had followed her twice, and saw that Shi Yi did not go much, so she relieved her heart. Aunt Shi felt that Shi Yi was a decent person, and she was not a good woman on weekdays, but she was responsible for the livelihood of the family, so it was inevitable that there would be pressure and when she wanted to relax...... She didn't think it was a big deal, so she didn't mention it at all. ”
Shen Wansha slapped the table angrily, "So this secret mansion is on North Street!" "It's mysterious, and it doesn't match the style of acting, there must be a problem!
"It's getting late, and the dark place gathers together, the fish and dragons are mixed, and it is very easy to cause chaos. Helian Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was very experienced.
Shen Wansha squinted at him, and smiled meaningfully, "It's very familiar...... With such a lot of experience, you can take the lead and lead us to find it! ”
"Da Bai-" Lu Li got up, shouted into the yard, called Da Bai who was playing crazy outside to his side, and touched its head, "Come with me to find someone, okay?" ”
"Woohoo!" Da Bai pounced on Lu Li's face and screamed very excitedly.
Zhao Shu pulled it away and took the lead in striding out, "Go!" ”
"Time is urgent, let's go!" Shen Wansha dragged Helian Yu and immediately followed.
Lu Li turned around and spoke to Huai Shuyu, speaking very quickly, obviously a little anxious, "Seeing that it is going to be dark, we must find the murderer today no matter what, otherwise Miss Huailiu is likely to be in danger." Mrs. Huai is sick, and Lord Huai is not there, so Young Master Huai must sit in the mansion to ensure that the family is a good thing. ”
Huai Shuyu's hands were clenched into fists, and his eyes were resolute, "Don't worry!" But you...... I don't know what the situation of the murderer's secret house is, so you must pay attention to safety! ”
Lu Li responded with a smile, and then turned to Mother Zhou, "At this critical moment, Mother Zhou should take good care of Mrs. Huai and help Young Master Huai." ”
Mother Zhou gave him a blessing seriously, and her slightly raised eyes were full of gratitude, "Sir, don't worry, the old slave can save it." ”
Lu Li left quickly.
He didn't know that not long after they left, a blue-roofed sedan chair was lifted out of the side door of Huaifu.
