Chapter 235: An Unexpected Visitor
The two of them checked the house for a long time, but they couldn't find anything useful, so they had to come out the back door stupidly, thinking if they could find out something from the house next door.
"Auntie, I want to ask if anyone in this household next to me is at home?"
There happened to be a family next to the house who was washing rice outside, so Ye Xiaoyu walked over and asked.
"You're—"
It was a middle-aged woman who was washing rice, and when she saw Ye Xiaoyu, she was a little alert.
"Oh, our brothers are the nephews of this family, and I heard that my uncle is doing a good job here, so I rushed over from Yuejing to join him."
Such a little lie, Ye Xiaoyu came easily.
"Since it's my uncle's neighbor, it's also our neighbor, so I hope you don't dislike it."
Ye Xiaoyu took out a few strings of copper coins and put them in the hands of the woman who was washing rice.
"You're so polite, don't be so polite."
The middle-aged woman's expression softened a lot, and she put the money in her pocket as she spoke.
"You two asked me if I had found the right person, our family has lived here for generations, and your uncle only moved here the year before. At that time, a few old houses were suddenly demolished here to build such a big house, and we wondered who was so rich, and then we saw your uncle move in......"
The middle-aged woman was very wordy and talked a lot. In addition to the nagging of most of the dissatisfaction with life, Ye Xiaoyu found that some information was still quite useful, and the dozens of articles were not in vain.
Lu Yishou bought the house the year before last, but most of the time it was unoccupied. It is only available from mid-October to the end of the year. But every time they came, there were more than a dozen people, basically young men, dressed like caravans and dart masters.
But last year, the voices of women and children appeared in this big house, but it didn't take long for the news that Lu Yishou had been arrested by the government in an accident.
"Don't be too sad for the two of you, your uncle is now in a difficult position to protect himself, you better go back to your hometown as soon as possible, there are many rich people here, and there are many poor people. Money isn't that easy to make......"
When it comes to making money. Middle-aged women began to be verbose again.
"Auntie, that woman, do you know where she is from? Uncle is like this now, since we are here. I'm sure I'll have to get some news before I go back. Otherwise, I won't be able to face my uncle......"
Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly interrupted the middle-aged woman's complaints.
"Don't think too much about you two. That woman is from Rongzhou, she is not the woman your uncle is looking for outside, I think so. It seems to be a ...... of a dart master in the caravan."
Thinking that Ye Xiaoyu and they suspected that Lu Yishou was messing around outside, the middle-aged woman hurriedly explained.
"Is it called Wang Danai?"
Ye Xiaoyu asked again.
The name "Wang Danai" is only used to test the waters, and if the middle-aged woman answers no, she has other names on the list to ask.
"This ...... I just don't know. The people in that yard go out early and return late every day, and we are not very ripe. ”
The middle-aged woman looked embarrassed.
"Auntie, do you know where that woman lives?"
Qing Lang asked from behind.
"We were shocked to hear that something like this happened to our uncle, and it was really difficult for us to accept it. The common people did not dare to deal with the government, and the people of those caravans were probably dispersed long ago. If the eldest lady can tell us where this woman lives, we will ask about the situation, and at least go back and give an explanation to the aunt. The distance between the north and the south is far away, and the family doesn't know about it yet, so we can't just go back without knowing anything......"
Seeing that the middle-aged woman looked reluctant to speak, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly answered.
"Well, I will know about the woman, because the woman was originally from Fireworks Alley, and I don't know how to do it, but then I got rid of it and followed this person. Now she lives alone in the house in front of Gosaka, and I still see her this morning. ”
Suddenly, things that had been at a loss became a little clearer.
In fact, if the goatee of Juyitang and the middle-aged woman could testify in court on the day of the trial, Lu Yishou's crime could be cleared.
But this is just what Ye Xiaoyu thinks casually in her heart.
Not to mention whether this middle-aged woman would be willing to go to court to testify on behalf of Lu Yishou, even if she was willing, the people from Juyitang would definitely not be willing. That's what people do, once he goes to the court to testify, Lu Yishou is out of the way, and he can buy and sell salt privately, and Juyitang will definitely suffer.
People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, how can they lose their lives in order to save others. And even if Lu Yishou is convicted, it will only be a few years in prison, but if the goatee is caught, it will be a death sentence.
So Ye Xiaoyu didn't expect things to take such a turn. She believes there will be other ways.
Although Huanyi Lane is near Gosaka, the scenery of the two places is completely different.
Huanyi Lane is dilapidated and old, and it is inhabited by poor people and tenants; Housaka is prosperous and brand-new, and the people who live here are either high-ranking officials and nobles, or businessmen and dignitaries.
The fact that two diametrically opposed places, two residential quarters that have nothing in common, are so geographically close together is ironic to the fullest extent without further ado.
"If you have the money, it's nice to buy a small house to live in. You can see the sea at a glance......"
The two of them walked on the bluestone street in Housaka one after the other, and Ye Xiaoyu turned his head and said to Qinglang behind.
Sunny did not answer.
But Ye Xiaoyu didn't care.
Anyway, this is not completely said to him, Ye Xiaoyu is saying it to himself.
Although Yuejing is good, it is too prosperous, and the climate and food in the north, even after so long, Ye Xiaoyu is still not too used to it. The southerner breath in her bones is still influencing her.
But now it's too far to think about this, and she wants to leave, at least until Lujiazhuang returns to a normal state.
"That guy just said it seems to be this one."
Ye Xiaoyu stopped in front of a two-story building with a big red lantern hanging in front of the door. The land price in Rongzhou City is not cheap, and the houses in the North District are extremely expensive. Not to mention here, it seems that this woman is not too simple to live in such a house in the central city.
Unlike Huanyi Lane, where you can easily find someone to inquire, this is a "high-end residential area", even if it is noon, the surrounding doors are closed, not to mention looking for someone to inquire, not even a ghost.
The two of them couldn't, so they went around to the back again. I couldn't find anyone to ask. You can only familiarize yourself with your surroundings first.
The houses here all have independent courtyards, the distance between the rooms is quite large, and the courtyard wall is about the same height as the road house in Huanyi Lane, so it should be easy to climb into it on a sunny day.
The reason why the problem of circumvention is considered. That's because they were going to be the woman directly. Wait until it's dark. Go over the wall and go in to "torture".
"Little brother, I want to ask, is that house going to be sold?"
Coming out of the back of the house. Ye Xiaoyu walked into the teahouse at the entrance of the alley and asked.
"It's all rich people living here, and I don't know if I want to sell my house or not."
The teahouse guy looked like "do you have the money to buy it", looking Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang up and down.
Ye Xiaoyu admitted that the fabric of her own clothes was a little worse, but the sunny one could tell at a glance that she was rich.
"My brother and I just came here and wanted to buy a house to live in for a long time, and just now we went around and found a good one with a lantern hanging at the door. I don't know if you know each other, little brother? ”
Ye Xiaoyu pushed a string of copper coins in front of the teahouse guy and asked with a smile.
"Oh, you mean that house, that family seems to be lived by a woman, but they just moved in a few months ago, and I don't think it's likely to be sold. In fact, if you want me to say, people like you who have just come to Rongzhou are more cost-effective to buy a house in Huanyi Lane or the North District, the price here is too spicy......"
After receiving the money, the man's words became a little more.
Sure enough, there is definitely something wrong with this woman.
According to the middle-aged woman in Huanyi Lane, this woman was originally a woman from a green house, but after only a while, she redeemed herself and moved into such a mansion; And the time when these things happened happened exactly the same time as Lu Yishou's accident. If it was her own money, the coincidence was too dramatic. Ye Xiaoyu has always believed that there are zài coincidences in this world, but like this blatant coincidence, the probability of saving zài is not high.
Today's Lujiazhuang is particularly lively, needless to say Lujiazhuang, even Quanxiu Village seems to have become lively all of a sudden.
"Qianqian, why don't you seem to be happy?"
Lu Qian was lying listlessly on the table in front of the window, Liu Yu pushed the door in from the back, and when he saw Lu Qian, who was in a hurry, he walked in front of him and asked.
Lu Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yu, then looked ahead again blankly.
Happy?
It's no wonder she's happy in today's situation!
I don't know which tendon is wrong, Ling Yu actually appeared at the door of Lujiazhuang early this morning, and called it "Come and see". If it's just Ling Yu coming, forget it, the key is that next to him, there is still a person standing, damn it, Jia Xiuyu actually came with him.
Now that there is Liu Yu, a long time has passed since that incident, and now for Ling Yu, Lu Qian no longer has the same affection as before. But although this is the case, Lu Qian doesn't want to see this person at all, as soon as she sees him, the incident on the eighth day of the first lunar month last year will come to mind again, after losing her special feelings for Ling Yu, that incident is a "black history", every time she remembers it, she is ashamed of herself.
Ling Yu alone has already made Lu Qian unhappy, and even added Jia Xiuyu. What kind of person is this Jia Xiuyu, fierce and pretentious, if she is called second, no one dares to call her first. Even though he is no longer obsessed with Ling Yu now, Lu Qian still thinks that he and Jia Xiuyu are married, and his eyes are not only blind, but they are simply deducted from their eyes.
"Qian'er, your brother Ling is here, and he hasn't come out yet-"
Jiang Ping's voice rang out at the other end of the room.
"What's coming, isn't the Lu family messy enough now?"
Lu Qian reluctantly got up from the chair, hammered Liu Yu next to him, and muttered out in a low voice.
"Qianqian ......"
Ling Yu sat on a chair in the hall, saw Lu Qian, stood up and greeted warmly.
Jia Xiuyu, who was on a chair next to her, also stood up with a smile on her face. (To be continued......)
