Chapter 130: The City
After the third watch learned the news that the warehouse was burned in the middle of the night, Shen Moci was immediately stunned.
"How could that storehouse be burned if no third person knew about it?"
Before she could speak, a voice came from outside the bedroom. Shen Jinshan sat in a wheelchair and was pushed up by the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion. At this moment, he completely lost the leisure and comfort that a seriously injured bedridden person needs, but he was a little angry.
"How is that possible?" Shen Moci repeated.
"How is that possible?" Shen Jinshan simply made his words clear, "I'm an old man who is sick in bed, so naturally I don't care about this." During this time, you are the only one in the Shen family jumping up and down. β
Shen Moci finally reacted to the meaning of this sentence, and then a thick disbelief flashed on his face.
"You...... Is this doubting me? β
Shocked, she didn't even want to call her father, "I've been busy with the Shen family all these years, even if I got the deed in the middle, it was the Shen family who was sorry for me and pushed me out as a scapegoat first, and I also paid the price for this." Now that I'm back, who am I doing my best for? β
The fabrics piled up in the treasury were the last capital she had to turn around. Although she has recovered the memories of her previous life, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she has nothing in her hand, so how can those treacherous and cunning court officials pay attention to her? These days, after she ran before and after, the most fundamental thing is to have this batch of fabrics.
Originally, she arranged to burn down the treasury of the Hu family on the eve of the opening of the market, and when the Qingcheng silk market opened, the officials from the north of the capital came over and poked out the matter, and then the Hu family was a felony.
Although the Hu family contributed a lot in recruiting military salaries, on the day of the silk market, this incident happened in front of the merchants who came and went from the south to the north in Great Xia, even if it was to save the face of the Tianjia family, they would strictly handle the matter.
In her previous life, she planned like this, using Song Qinwen's obsession to collect all the best raw silk, cutting off the cloth paid by the Hu family from the root, forcing the old fox to enter Beijing. And as long as he can leave Qingcheng, it will be much easier to do it again. She didn't have Shen Jinshan's sympathetic feelings, and directly threw his body off a cliff where piranhas gathered. The cliff was located in the depths of the Tiger Prison Gorge, and the road out was full of twists and eighteen bends and reefs, and even the fish in it could not swim out. She also stumbled upon the place and ordered the piranha to be fed. A few days before she started, she ordered her men to stop feeding. Hu Jiuling raised well, and when he threw it down in his previous life, he had not yet lost his breath, and the piranhas, who had been hungry for a few days, swarmed up like mosquitoes seeing blood, and instantly tore his bones away.
Of course, at that time, she was handed over to her subordinates, and she was very principled: she never had blood on her hands.
It's a pity that in the end, Hu Yao broke her principles, and after getting blood on her hands, bad luck came immediately, and she was retaliated by the little marquis like a storm. Thinking of the final ending of his previous life, Shen Moci's heart swelled with a deep unwillingness, and suddenly Shen Jinshan's suspicion was nothing.
"It can't be me." Stopping her chest to face Shen Jinshan, she said coldly.
In the last few years of Shen Moci's previous life, he was also accustomed to seeing dignitaries and dignitaries, and he experienced wealth and glory, and at this moment he was full of momentum, and it was not at all that people like Shen Jinshan, who had lived in Qingcheng for a long time and had been doing business all his life, could hold it up, and he was shocked when he looked at him tightly, and sat in a wheelchair to listen to it with his lop ear.
Maybe she should have been like this a long time ago, shocking Shen Jinshan, and really saving a lot of trouble.
"The person who came to report the fire in the warehouse ......"
"It's the official of the county government." The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, who was also shocked by her, on the edge of Shen Jinshan, said respectfully.
And these words made Shen Moci pause, "Why did the county government send someone to report?" It's not that I said, over the years, Daddy has been filial to the county government, and β‘β‘ of these filial piety have fallen into the pocket of the county order. And what kind of person is the county magistrate? is cautious, but he is as careful as a hair, and he is not so ruthless. β
"Then why didn't he help put out the fire, and just now I sent someone out, and found that the curfew outside was very strict, and our news couldn't get out at all, let alone run out of most of the city to put out the fire.5./books/45/45809/
The zombie queen of the apocalypse. β
Although he had already guessed it, after hearing Shen Jinshan say this, Shen Moci still felt a sigh in his heart.
"It seems that this is what I think, this matter should be the action of Dingbei Hou."
"Dingbei Hou? He was also seriously injured, and now he is recuperating in Hufu, and even the imperial court has not been able to invite him out. β
The emperor's order is not moved, it seems that the injury is not ordinary. From Shen Jinshan's point of view, he didn't dare to imagine that there were still people in this world who dared to openly disobey the holy decree, after all, it was a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the clan. Even secretly, he didn't think that if the little marquis was injured more strictly, he would die directly in Hu Mansion, and this Qingcheng would not still be his Shen someone's world in the future.
Perhaps with this hope in his heart, Shen Jinshan never thought that the little marquis would help the Shen family. Or he didn't dare to think about it at all, he had fought with Hu Jiuling for most of his life, and now the winner was already clear. He just relied on his breath and refused to admit the defeat of the Shen family, but the Shen family had already fallen to this point, if there were more little marquis as backers on the Hu family's side, wouldn't he have any hope?
"With the filial piety that Daddy has sent to the county government over the years, knowing that the last thing of the Shen family is on fire, the county order does not send someone to save it, but just finds someone to whisper. This person's status is definitely not ordinary. And now there is such a status in Qingcheng, except for the Qin cha sent by the imperial court, there is only the one who is recuperating in the backyard of Hufu. β
"But that one is not from Hulaoxia...... Then all the elite soldiers and strong generals in the Japanese state rushed up, don't you also say that you have seen it with your own eyes. β
Shen Jinshan hurriedly said his guess, and now all he has left is delusion, and the hope derived from delusion. He didn't even know how he would survive without that expectation.
"I did see it with my own eyes," Shen Moci affirmed, "but now that I look back and think about it carefully, I was pierced into a hedgehog in the ten thousand arrows, and I was afraid that people would not be able to do it on the spot." As a result, not only did there be no obituary, but the Hu family was not very nervous these days, presumably the little marquis had some adventures. With the strength of the royal family, it is not an exaggeration to have a protective armor on his body. β
Protective Armor ...... Shen Jinshan suddenly realized, "The most valuable treasure in my Shen family's treasury is none other than the gold-threaded soft armor used by General Chaofei before. At that time, it was the little marquis who copied the treasury, but the things he confiscated should not be handed over to the imperial court? β
"Surrender to the imperial court?" Shen Moci's tone was full of mockery, "Have you lived in vain all these years?" Even the Qingcheng County Order dared to accept filial piety, and no matter how much of that person's identity was unknown, no one dared to say it clearly, what was a mere piece of gold thread soft armor. β
Thinking of Shen Jinshan's treasure Cheng DΓΉ of the gold-threaded soft armor, the ridicule at the corners of Shen Moci's lips became more and more intense. After a pause, she muttered, "I didn't expect that the one who saved his life in the end was actually my Shen family heirloom." β
Shen Jinshan also thought of this, and he fell into his wheelchair in a daze, unable to accept the reality.
"Why is the little marquis so good to the Hu family? Obviously, my Shen family is not bad. β
After talking incoherently for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Shen Moci with sharp eyes, "I know what is wrong with the Shen family, blame me, I failed to give birth to a daughter like Hu Yao." Why are you not Hu Yao, if the little marquis likes you, today is us sitting on the mountain of gold and silver, counting the gold and silver and laughing at how the old fox is down. β
In the end, he was so excited that he stood up half-standing up with his weak body, a pair of hands that were crumpled by extreme emaciation were exposed, and he grabbed Shen Moci's front and looked at her like he was looking at his father's enemy.
"Why, you're so useless."
She's useless? Shen Moci smiled, didn't explain anything more, she twisted her body and waved Shen Jinshan away. The force was so great that the other party fell straight back, and the wheelchair also fell back a lot, until it hit the threshold and did not stop.
After the violent impact, Shen Jinshan tilted his neck and fainted directly.
"Sir." The housekeeper hurriedly rushed forward, took out the medicine bottle from his waist, took out one and poured it into him, and then looked at Shen Moci with a headache and a worried heart, "Girl, no matter what, he is your father.5./books/45/45808/
Guide to Domestication of Face Blindness [Rebirth]. You have a grudge in your heart, just one bite of you, if you don't call him Daddy, how can you put such a heavy hand when he is weak. β
Seeing Shen Jinshan fainting, Shen Moci was also stunned, this was her father after all. But the housekeeper's accusations made her quickly sober up from her remorse.
"He is the one who wants to beat me first and treat me as an enemy."
"Then you ......" There is a difference between master and servant, and at this moment the housekeeper knows that she is wrong, and he can't say anything too serious.
He can't say it, but someone can. Seeing that the housekeeper "you" couldn't say the next words for a long time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your father is still sick now, can he still kill you?" Moreover, only parents discipline their children, and no children disobey their parents. Anyway, you are also a girl who has read books, and those who have learned in Qinglin Academy have entered the belly of a dog? Someone came, escorted the girl down, and kept her under strict supervision. β
The Sun family, who had been imprisoned in the backyard by Shen Jinshan, suddenly appeared, followed by her only son, who was also the son of the Shen Mansion and the rightful heir. Perhaps because of the successive changes during this period of time, this heir swept away the past between his eyebrows and became much calmer.
"Mother."
Shen Moci shouted casually, his knees didn't move, and he didn't even bother to do superficial work.
"Don't say anything about hurting Daddy, don't even pay attention to Auntie, and don't drag her down." The young man of the Shen Mansion gloomily instructed the family who followed behind.
In Shen Moci's unbelievable eyes, those family members who had been successfully rebelled by her during this period of time stepped forward, cut her hands, and tied her up in three or two strokes.
"Punishment, how she treated my aunt some time ago, double the return." There was an arrogance in the last voice of the eldest young master of the Shen Mansion.
And as she finished saying this, Shen Moci's suffering officially began. Some time ago, when she was most depressed, she took all the revenge on Sun, and all the means she had seen in the capital in her previous life were all used to recover her memory. And all of these are now double or even more on her.
Within two days, she was already wounded in her bones, and she had been tossed to the point that she was not human.
Contrary to her tragic situation, A-Yao's side is indeed smooth. Diligent can make up for clumsiness, she started late in business, but with her unremitting efforts, the back house and the Hu family's business gradually found their way. In fact, she was able to adapt so quickly, in addition to inheriting the talent of the ancestors of the Hu family, it was also related to Hu Jiuling's unconcealed guidance. Who is Hu Jiuling, a perfect businessman who can talk and start doing business, with good talent and hard work. The experience he has accumulated over the decades has long been integrated into various means. Generally, the small businessman Jia Yunshan is surrounded by fog, he can see it clearly at a glance, and he can speak clearly in a few words.
There is such a girl in the house, who don't teach her? Famous teachers produce high apprentices, what A-Yao has learned is the simplest and most effective method, and her willingness to learn has made her progress a thousand miles a day.
Everything was difficult at first, but she gradually relaxed after getting started. Finally, the night before the opening of the Qingcheng Silk Market, she was busy with all the matters of the day before dinner for the first time.
"Brother Jing, I did it."
Subconsciously said this, and the lazy waist that was stretched halfway suddenly stopped, and she realized that it seemed that Brother Jing had not stuck to her again in the past few days.
Thinking about it carefully, a few days before the initial decision to be cold, Brother Jing seemed to have been hanging around with her. Although he tried his best to express his indifference, she could still feel that his feelings were not high. As she snubbed for a long time, his anxiety became more and more severe. But I don't know from one day, suddenly he stopped appearing in front of him.
Did she get cold?
A-Yao, who has never had this kind of love experience, is a little panicked, and this panic has a tendency to spread. Before she could panic for long, Qingshuang came in with tonic soup and said softly: "Girl, you have to go to the dock before dawn tomorrow, and the master told me to rest early today." β
There is still serious business tomorrow, and Ah Yao's panicked heart is retracted. Brother Jing's affairs are not in a hurry for this half a day, she has been preparing for this silk market for so long, and she has gone through so many twists and turns in the middle, no matter what, she can't go on a business trip tomorrow.
