In the room of the inn, Xiaohu lowered his head and honestly accepted Erya's interrogation.

"When did you start entering the Flower Building?"

"Last May!"

"You went alone? Or did someone take you there? ”

"It was during dinner that I met the second son of the owner of the embroidery village, and he invited me to go with him!"

"Which woman are you looking for often?"

"I've always been looking for Oiran peonies, and I bought them in the first place."

"How much did you buy it? How many times have you been there since? How much does it cost each time? Did you give this peony another money? And how much more? ”

Xiaohu was a little confused by a series of questions, and it took a while before he replied: "The first night is 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

There was a sigh from the side, and Er Ya gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that at the beginning, those robbers did not hesitate to block the road and rob for the sake of these ten thousand taels of silver. But he threw it out lightly, just to buy that film.

Now is not the time to worry about this, see Xiaohu stop and speak: "Go on!" ”

"After that, I went eleven or two times, each time for a thousand taels, and I also gave her a silver ticket, when it was more than one thousand taels, and when it was less, it was five hundred taels."

"Who tricked you into going to the gambling house this time?"

"It's the second son of the owner of the embroidery village, and he said to take us to see and see."

"Brother Daman, what about you? How many times have you been to Hualou? Did you go on your own or with someone else? ”

"We've only been there two or three times, and Xiaohu took them with us, and this time too!"

"That! In this way, the main target of the people is Xiaohu! ”

Later, because Erya was pregnant and gave birth to a child, she didn't have time to take inventory, and Xiaohu Daman had always taken care of it herself, but she didn't expect things to be so out of control.

In the Hereafter, it can be said to be a child. But here, they are already adults who have started a family, how can they not stand the bewitchment of others.

Hi! Curiosity kills cats, that's what they're talking about.

Wu Fenggang asked Daman puzzled: "Dadong's family, you all know martial arts, how can you still be trapped by them?" ”

Da Man said in a deep voice: "It is easy for us to escape by ourselves, for fear that they will find our house and take revenge." Our family is old and young. Don't be frightened! ”

Erya lowered her voice for a while, and then raised her head and said to Xiaohu and Daman: "You guys go first!" Cai Baocheng, Wu Fenggang, Liu Wenzhu, Sun Huawen, Li Lijia, a few of you stay! ”

"Yes!"

Wait for Xiaohu and them to leave. Erya asked them to close the door and whispered to them: "Wu Fenggang, you are looking for Qin Hualou's Oiran Peony's personal person, and you will not hesitate to buy it in a hurry." Then find out who owns the title deed of that mountain. ”

"Yes!"

Erya then ordered: "Liu Wenzhu, you follow Cai Baocheng." I met the second son of the owner of the embroidery village in the dark, and then secretly investigated that he was secretly conspiring with others to seek my family's property. ”

"Good!"

"Yes!"

"Sun Huawen, Li Lijia. You keep an eye on the first room at the staircase on the second floor of the gambling house, and if anyone is coming in or out, you pretend to be unintentional about inquiring. Pay more attention to everything related to tea, embroidery, cloth, fur, etc. Especially if you find the second son of Xiuzhuang and the Oiran peony of Qin Hualou in the past. Be extra careful. ”

"Yes!"

Er Ya took out the silver ticket he brought, and one of them gave one and said, "Give one to each of you." Act early tomorrow morning. I'll send them and the kids back tomorrow morning, and I'll be over in the afternoon.

Be careful. If it's just a small minion, it's fine, but if it's a big one behind it, it's not easy to do, so you can only admit it! ”

Er Ya sighed and let them go back to rest.

I didn't sleep all night, and the next day the whole family was red and swollen with bubbles in their eyes, and they looked at each other wordlessly, and then lowered their heads.

Those who rode horses, those who rode in carriages, and a group of people went back again.

When he arrived in the town, Erya told the nursing home to tear down the door connecting the residence and the workshop, and seal it with bricks. And no one was allowed to enter, and the widow's and children's dwellings were to break their legs.

And he also gave special instructions to children and widowed women that they were not allowed to leave their dwellings at will.

In order not to let them have nothing to do, let them weave single-yarn underwear. Regardless of whether it is a man's style, a woman's style, a child's jacket or trousers, after weaving a pound of yarn, one or two pieces of silver will be given.

After settling the women and children, they went straight home.

When the eldest aunt and second aunt saw that the children had come back safely, they knew that they wiped their tears, but they didn't know if it was good to fight and scold!

The eldest uncle and the second uncle caught their respective children and wanted to beat them with sticks.

When the sticks were aimed at the head, the two of them might have been afraid of killing their son by mistake, so they paused for a moment, turned to the back, hit the two sticks and felt distressed, and then turned to the leg and wanted to knock it down, probably afraid that they would really break their son's leg, so they raised it up again and smothered it at the buttocks.

Daman, Dahong, and Xiangzi didn't dare to move, lowered their heads and let their father beat them, and their mothers were counted.

Xiaohu also stood in the midst of it, and no one counted him, and no one beat him with a club.

Er Ya ignored the excitement of the uncle's house and went back to her home.

The nurse was coaxing Wen Yue, who was crying non-stop, and Hongguo, who had grown into an adult, was carrying the boss Wen Chao on the side.

This nurse is actually the nanny of later generations, and Erya originally wanted to choose one of the widowed women to help take care of the children.

Later, I didn't want people to gossip, so I bought this aunt directly from the people in the county seat, as long as I helped take care of the children and washed them. The feeding is all done by the second girl, and sometimes she also feeds goat's milk.

So now the child is crying, and the nurse with the child has no way except to feed goat's milk.

Erya walked over and picked up Wen Yue, the little guy who was still howling just now, immediately stopped crying, and grinned at his mother, and the nurse smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Wen Chao, who was already three years old, saw his mother, ran over, hugged his mother's legs, and asked, "Mother, mother!" Where did you go yesterday? I didn't even find you! ”

Hongguo followed and asked Erya: "Sister-in-law!" Are the brothers all back? ”

Erya nodded, bent down and asked Wen Chao, "Who did you sleep with last night?" ”

"Sleep with Aunt Hongguo!"

Hongguo said with a smile: "I didn't sleep until midnight last night, crying and asking for you." ”

"Wen Yue cried last night, right?"

"Cry! My mother and Aunt Qi, neither of them can coax him! My mother was anxious to cry with him. ”

Er Ya smiled and nodded Wen Yue's little nose. Wen Yue let out a giggle.

"Auntie! You hurry up and cook, I have to go to the provincial capital after dinner. ”

Erya turned her head to Hongguo again and said, "You and your mother will come over again tonight, otherwise Xiaohu won't be able to take the child." ”

"Okay! I'll talk to my mother later. ”

After eating, Erya took some silver tickets with them and hurriedly rode to the provincial capital.

rested in the same inn again, the sun just went down, and Wu Fenggang came back.

Wu Fenggang saw Erya. Hurriedly greeted: "The lady of the proprietor is here!" ”

"I've been here for a while. Why did you get back so early? What's the news! ”

Wu Fenggang smiled helplessly, and said in an incredible tone: "The lady of the owner, you don't believe it. It's a joke. ”

Erya frowned, "How do you say this?" ”

Wu Fenggang sighed and opened the topic: "This matter, in fact, it was all caused by the Oiran peony."

Her personal maid. We don't need to buy her at all. She said that she was his father who was lured into gambling and lost all his belongings. also gave her children to her, she was sold to the flower building by the gambling house, and her brother didn't know where it was. Therefore he especially hates those who tempt people to gamble.

When she heard that Peony was discussing with someone to trick the second owner into gambling, she was still there several times. took advantage of the opportunity to pour tea and reminded the second owner, but the second owner never paid attention to it.

This time, I heard that the second owner really lost and went bankrupt. The peony proudly showed off in front of her and said, "It won't be long." can let the second owner take the initiative to redeem her and marry her. ’

The maidservant girl had no other requirements, but begged the lady of the proprietor to find her brother and help him redeem herself. As for the money, she will pay it back slowly! ”

Erya also hated itchy, no matter how churning her heart was, but there was still nothing on her face. He just asked calmly, "Where are the title deeds and other deeds on the mountain?" ”

The maidservant said she didn't know. However, she knew that the people from the gambling house had come to look for Peony last night and gave them back. She didn't see what it was. ”

Erya thought for a while, and then said to Wu Fenggang: "In this way, you go to find a peony to stumble her at night, and I'll look for it!" ”

Wu Fenggang smiled and said, "The lady of the owner! Why bother, I'll go and buy the peony directly for one night, and secretly ask the maid if she knows where it is! I'll just bring it back. ”

Erya shook her head and smiled, it's really not easy to learn well, and you don't need to teach if you learn badly!

"Okay! Then do as you say! You have to be careful, don't show your feet. When you have succeeded, you will come back, and I will go and redeem the handmaid at once. By the way, what's the maid's name? ”

"Little Red! The original name was Zhu Jinling."

"I see, be careful, don't expose the servant."

"Don't worry, I know this!"

It wasn't until it was dark that Liu Wenzhu, Sun Huawen, Li Lijia, and Cai Baocheng came back.

Sun Huawen and Li Lijia saw Erya and hurriedly greeted: "The lady of the proprietor is here, I didn't find anyone entering the house today, and we won a lot of money." Someone wouldn't let us go, and we almost got started. Hey! ”

Liu Wenzhu and Cai Baocheng also shook their heads and said, "I have been staying at the embroidery village since the morning today, and I haven't seen anyone. We don't know his family! ”

Erya smiled and comforted: "No need, you can rest first!" This should be the case. ”

A few people were surprised and asked, "So fast?" Did Brother Wu find out? ”

"Hmmm! It's that I'm too conspiracy theorists and overly complicated things. Did you two find out what the background of the casino was? ”

Sun Huawen replied: "I don't know who the real master is, anyway, it's not the person inside."

Listen to what they mean, the real master, except for a few times at the beginning, has never been to the casino openly. ”

Erya secretly rejoiced, it seems that the water is not shallow, fortunately, the person watching the scene was shocked, otherwise it would be really difficult to clean up.

"Go and rest, and call you again when there is something!"

"Okay!" (To be continued)
