Inside Liu's house.
Several of the wives of the Liu Envoy and the Liu Envoy all knelt on the ground and listened to the old lady's reprimand.
“…… My old Liu family is now such a rebellious girl, how do you discipline it on weekdays, how can you teach someone who dares to elope? ”
The third lady, who is Liu Yuan's mother, only cried and shouted: "Yuan'er is usually well-behaved and sensible, and she will never elope with someone, it must be that the yamen has made a mistake!" ”
But when she heard it, the second lady laughed out loud.
Everyone in the room looked at the second lady, and they didn't know why she was so bold and dared to laugh in this situation.
But I heard the second lady say unhurriedly: "I don't know if it's elopement, but the back door in this courtyard doesn't seem to be very strict." ”
"You, what do you mean?" The third lady was so angry that she trembled.
"I've seen the third lady go out a few times without permission, but the people at the back door didn't say anything. The third lady was also ridiculous, changed into a maid suit, and didn't know whose eyes to avoid. ”
"You, don't say anything when you see it!" Liu Zhisi reprimanded.
The second lady smiled sarcastically on her face, and only said: "I thought it was just that the third lady was idle and bored, and went out for a walk, who knew that she was going to meet a lover!" Besides, if I really say it, my sister will inevitably say that I am playing right and wrong, so that the master does not like the third lady, I can't stand this wrong. ”
"You!" Liu Yuansi stomped his feet and opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't say anything, and sat down on the side, only to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
The third lady cried out loud: "What can I do, my daughter is gone, and she was said to have eloped with others, how will I live in the future!" I might as well be dead! Then he will hit the wall.
For a while, those who pulled, screamed, persuaded, and watched jokes became a pot of porridge.
"Enough!" The old lady shouted.
Then the crowd stopped.
"What do these ones look like? I don't know, I thought the Liu family really couldn't live this day. She said sharply, and then, her tone softened a little: "According to me, Yuan'er, this child, is also well-behaved on weekdays, if it is really just a moment of wrong things and comes back, we must also persuade well." ”
Hearing the old lady's words, the third lady's crying voice became quieter.
Although the second lady was disdainful, she saw that Liu Zhisi was already in a hurry, and she still didn't let out the cold snort.
On weekdays, the third lady is very much loved by the lord with a son and a daughter born by herself, but the second lady has no heirs, so she didn't take the second lady in her eyes, and acted very wantonly, as if she came to the house first. The second lady couldn't get used to it, and she hated it for a long time. Now that Liu Yuan has an accident, she is very happy. Liu Yuan's person, what does she look like before and after, she still doesn't know? It's just two pieces of dough, just flip through it casually.
Now in front of people, she has this evil breath, but she can't sing too much in this play, and she shouldn't sing the next scene.
Just thinking about it, he saw a family member rushing over, panting and standing at the door, only arching his hand and shouting: "Master! ”
"What's the matter?" Liu Lingsi was annoyed, and he didn't have a good voice.
"The yamen sent someone and said it was...... said that the third lady found it. ”
"What!" Liu Envoy jumped up from his chair: "Then don't go to the yamen quickly!" With that, he hurried out the door, forgetting to greet the old lady.
"I'll go too!" The third lady came back to her senses, wiped away her tears, and ran out of the door.
*********************
Yang Zhutou never thought that he would find Miss Liu so quickly.
There are many mountains near the city, and there are many canyons, and there are a few rumors of robbers. He was going to find out them all. Unexpectedly, with great luck, he arrived at the first canyon, and before he went down to the valley, he found Liu Yuan on the edge of a cliff. Although Yang Zhutou had never seen her, Liu Zhisi provided that she was already familiar with her figure and appearance in the portrait, so he could determine it by just looking at it.
At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous, and Liu Yuan was standing on the edge of the cliff, her clothes fluttering, as if she was going to ride the wind. Frightened, Yang Zhutou hurriedly stepped forward, and only shouted: "Miss Liu, don't think about it." ”
I saw her slowly looking back, her face haggard, two lines of tears, only looking at Yang Zhutou and them, but she didn't speak.
Yang Zhutou shouted in a deep voice: "Miss Liu, the envoy asked us to come to you and take you home." No matter what happens, fellow relatives will not give up on you. If it is boring for a while, it ends your life, but the pain for your parents is permanent, how can you bear it? ”
Liu Yuan only cried silently and did not answer.
Yang Zhutou saw that although her face was in pain, she seemed to hesitate in her heart, so he boldly said: "The cliff is dangerous, can I wait to help?" ”
Liu Yuan still didn't say anything, but turned his body back.
It's not a way to go on like this, you have to take a risk.
Yang Zhutou glanced at the two catchers standing aside, one front, two sides, and the three of them outflanked and slowly approached.
Liu Yuan was still stunned, as if she was thinking about something.
When the three of them were about to catch her, she suddenly took another step forward.
She was standing very close to the edge of the cliff, and if she took one more step, she would fall to the bottom of the cliff.
Yang Zhutou was so frightened that his soul flew away, took a step forward, grabbed her right hand with one hand, and pulled it to the ground. She fell to the ground, and the other two held her firmly, not moving.
After falling, she threw herself on the ground, as if she had been wronged in a thousand ways, and as if she had suddenly woken up, she cried loudly.
Yang Zhutou put his mind at ease, raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
It was only a blink of an eye, and if she took another step, he moved a little slower, and he could only find her body.
He looked into the valley again.
Since Liu Yuan found it here, then the cottage must be in this valley.
The valley is so deep and full of flowers and trees that you can't see where the robbers live.
This time it's just an investigation, and the manpower brought is not enough, so let's take Liu Yuan back to the yamen first, and I'll talk about the robbery later.
Thinking so, Yang Zhutou led everyone and returned to the yamen all the way.
Governor Zhang heard that Liu Yuan had been retrieved, and hurriedly sent someone to report the news to Liu Yuan's mansion. This boulder in my heart finally fell to the ground.
After Yang Zhutou placed Liu Yuan in the yamen, he met with Governor Zhang in the hall.
Governor Zhang heard what he had reported to save people, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Liu Yuan is safe, otherwise, it would be really difficult for Liu Yuan's side to make a difference.
Fortunately, Governor Zhang said generously: "Yang Zhutou, you have made meritorious contributions in finding people and saving people, and you will add five taels of silver to the monthly salary." Although the job of catching the head is a life of licking blood on the knife, it is indeed commendable to be able to sacrifice himself, and it should be rewarded.
Yang Zhutou was overjoyed, and arched his hand: "Thank you, sir." ”
Governor Zhang nodded, only to feel that the tricky things had been solved, and his heart was happy.
Yang Zhutou hesitated for a moment, but reminded: "Then Miss Shen's side?" ”
Governor Zhang remembered Shen Shu's matter, thought about it, and said: "In this case, this woman surnamed Shen has indeed made a lot of efforts, and she will give her the hundred taels of silver she said." "If it weren't for Shen Shu finding the maid Lan'er and telling the clues of the canyon, I'm afraid that the case would still be deadlocked. That Liu Yuan had no one to save her, so she should have drifted out of the world.
Thinking like this, Governor Zhang suddenly became afraid. Fortunately, fortunately, otherwise, if Liu Yuansi knew that Liu Yuan was dead, and in a fit of anger, he would not be able to handle the case effectively, and he would really not be able to eat and walk around.
"Yes." Yang Zhutou answered. After only a moment, he hesitated and spoke again: "I just feel that Miss Shen doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems. ”
"What?" Governor Zhang was still thinking about Liu Envoy's threatening words, but his brain didn't react, so he only subconsciously asked a rhetorical question.
"I'm talking about Miss Shen's way to solve the case." Yang Zhutou paused, and then continued: "That day, she said that she would lead the maid Lan'er to tell the story of the case when she was quiet, and then judge and connect. It's normal to think like this. Because I also thought at that time, I could try this method, maybe I would get something. ”
Later, she and Lan'er went to the bamboo forest, I was curious, I wanted to hear what Lan'er said, so I took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, and secretly went to the bamboo forest, near their location. Of course, she was very careful not to let her find out. ”
Governor Zhang came back to his senses at this time: "You said you followed at that time?" So how did she lead Lan'er to speak? ”
Yang Zhutou shook his head: "She only said one word to Lan'er at first to let her relax, and after that, the two didn't say anything again." She just silently held Lan'er's hand, and her expression seemed to be settled. ”
"What?" Governor Zhang was extremely surprised.
"Therefore, I think that this Miss Shen must have an ability that ordinary people don't have, so that she doesn't have to speak, but she can learn a lot of things from Lan'er."
Governor Zhang was silent, but he thought of what Zhang Yunyong said.
He didn't believe it all the time, but Zhang Yunyong and Yang Zhutou said so. He also saw firsthand her ability to solve cases beyond ordinary people.
Could it be that this Shen Shu really has the ability to predict the future and understand the past? Is this, is this true? If it is true, then, if such a person can be used by him, then does he still have to worry about the case in the house? If the case can be solved, won't the day of his promotion be just around the corner?
Thinking like this, Governor Zhang's heart suddenly became excited.
Without further ado, he hurriedly said: "Yang Zhutou, in this way, you will go and give her the hundred taels of silver now, and when you see her, tell her that I want to invite them to live in the government and assist in handling the case." ”
"Yes." Yang Zhu's mind only turned, and he understood what Governor Zhang thought, so he hurriedly took the order and left.
