Chapter 356: Turning Enemies into Friends
On the last day at the end of February, Zhao Hui asked Yu Shu to pick a good day to tidy up the house and move the house.
Yu Shu told Zhao Hui at breakfast that she was going out, afraid that Zhao Hui would bump into it, so she told her to just arrange for someone to move things and clean up, not to walk around with her stomach up, fortunately, He Fangzhi said that she would not go to the hospital today, stay at home and watch Zhao Hui, Yu Shu was relieved.
After half an hour, Yu Shu came to the door of the small courtyard on Huixing Street in the south of the city, knocked on the door, and the door opened after a while.
Seeing Yu Shu, who hadn't come over for a while, Zhou Hu was surprised, hurriedly bowed, and turned sideways to let her in.
"Close the door." Yu Shu asked Zhou Hu to take her to the place where Jing Chen used to live, pulled the bolt outside the door, and when she pushed the door, she saw a figure curled up in a ball on the empty bed tied up by Wuhua Da.
"What's wrong with him?" Yu Shu pointed to Qu Hai, who was not quite in the right situation on the bed, and asked Zhou Hu.
Zhou Hu said helplessly: "This person somehow, he always said that he had a headache, and the night before yesterday he suddenly hit his head against the wall, and the villain was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he had to tie him to the bed." ”
Yu Shu turned his head and looked in the courtyard, but didn't find the honest-looking Song Dali, "Why are you alone, your brother?" ”
Zhou Hu said: "There is no lamp oil in the house, so I asked him to go out and buy it." ”
Yu Shu nodded and pushed him away: "You go outside to guard for a while, I have something to talk to this person." ”
"Yes, the little one is at the door, and the young lady has something to call me." Zhou Hu retreated.
Yu Shu closed the door with his backhand, walked to the side of the bed, looked at Qu Hai lying on the bed with his back to her, thought of what happened to him, and said with a complicated mood: "I know that you are not asleep, Qu Hai, let me ask you a few questions, if you tell the truth, I will let you go today." ”
The body of the person tied to the bed moved. Slowly turned around, facing Yu Shu, revealing a face with ugly scars, and eyes covered with red silk looking at her with a slight hostility. His voice was hoarse: "What do you want to ask Lao Tzu?" ”
Hearing his words, Yu Shu only frowned, decided not to deal with this poor wretched worm, and asked calmly: "You said last time, you still have a pair of wives and children at home?" ”
Qu Hai was stunned, his face instantly showed pain, and his fists tied in front of him clenched tightly. Trembling slightly, he hissed: "It's gone, it's all gone, I've killed it, I've killed it." ”
The last time Yu Shu heard Qu Hai say this, he only thought that others were crazy and full of nonsense, and he had heard Xue Rui's investigation last night. It was only then confirmed that Qu Hai did have a wife and children, but he had already been killed. It was Qu Hai's enemy's doing, so Qu Hai blamed himself bitterly, claiming that his wife and children were killed by him.
"I asked someone to inquire, your wife and young daughter, before you escaped from prison, had committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river, and their bodies stayed in Yizhuang for half a month, because no one claimed them, so they were hastily buried in the mass grave, I-"
"Do you know where they are buried!?"
Yu Shu didn't finish his words. was interrupted by Qu Hai's urgent voice, only to see that he looked excited, struggling to sit up from the bed, but unfortunately he was tied firmly, and fell back again, and his head hit the head of the bed without exhalation. just stared at Yu Shu, and if she dared to say that she didn't know, she would pounce on her and bite her twice.
Yu Shu didn't plan to sell Guanzi, so he nodded and said, "I know the way." ”
"Tell me!" The green tendons on Qu Hai's forehead burst out, and he shouted at Yu Shu.
Yu Shu turned around with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice: "I think you are a poor person, although you have created a lot of evil, you still have a little bit of humanity, it doesn't hurt to tell you, but you have to swear in the name of your dead relatives that you will never go against me in your lifetime, I will not only tell you where their bones are buried, but also let you go and let you go to worship the dead." ”
"I promise!" Qu Hai blurted out almost without thinking about it, and I don't know where the strength came from, rolled from the bed to the ground, knelt hard, tied his hands behind his back, kowtowed a few times at Yu Shu, and hissed exhaustedly: "I Qu Hai swear today, but in my lifetime, if I am an enemy of you, or embarrass you for half a point, I will be crushed to pieces, my wife and my daughter will die under Jiuquan, die without blinking your eyes, and my soul will be scattered!" ”
Yu Shu turned his back to Qu Hai, a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, and he secretly confessed his guilt, it was not that she deliberately disrespected the deceased, but it was really this Qu Hai who was fierce, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would recover his strength in the future, and he would not turn his face and deny people, so that he could make such a poisonous oath, so that she could completely let him go.
"They are buried in the western suburbs of Anling City."
Yu Shu squatted in front of Qu Hai, slowed down his voice and told the truth about the place where his wife's flesh and blood were buried, because the location was remote, she repeated it twice, and Qu Hai nodded to indicate that he had written it down.
In fact, Yu Shu was very curious about who could send someone into the cell to threaten Qu Hai to escape from prison and kill his flesh and blood relatives, but at this time, it was inevitable that there was a suspicion of blackmailing the dead, and it was not for self-preservation, Yu Shu was unwilling to do such a thing that damaged yin morality, so he had to do more than less.
Yu Shu and Qu Hai reached an agreement, so they opened the door and called Zhou Hu in, pointing to Qu Hai who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Untie him." ”
Zhou Hu was surprised, and said unsurely: "Miss is going to let him go, but this person-"
Yu Shu raised his hand to interrupt him, "It's okay, let it go." ”
Zhou Hu took out a dagger from his waist and stepped forward to cut the rope, but he put himself in a defensive posture, as long as Qu Hai made any abnormal moves, he would take him out.
Qu Hai didn't pay attention to his small movements, as soon as the rope was loosened, he got up from the ground, hastily moved his hands and feet a few times, and then raised his head and asked Yu Shu: "Can I go?" ”
Yu Shu took out the money bag in his sleeve and threw it at Qu Hai, "You take this money, if you can live in peace, you will bury the dead well, and be careful not to be caught." ”
Qu Hai grabbed the money bag, shook it in the palm of his hand, nodded at Yu Shu, and said gratefully: "Don't worry, girl, although I am a fierce and evil person, I also do what I say." I owe the girl a favor, and I will repay it in the future. ”
Yu Shu glanced at him, and secretly sighed that this person did have the courage to achieve great things, but it was a pity that he did not take the right path, and if he took a wrong step, he would never turn back.
She nodded, out of the way, and motioned for him to go.
Qu Hai hugged her with both fists, walked quickly in front of her, opened the courtyard door without looking back, and disappeared without a flash.
As soon as Qu Hai left, Zhou Hu and Song Dali had nothing to do, about where they went, Yu Shu thought about it, the population of Zhao Hui's family is now quite a lot, there is no shortage of messengers, and in a few days the old lady He will enter Beijing, and there is no place to settle them when they go back, but it is inconvenient, so he decided to leave the two in this small courtyard first, and then tell them to do other things in the future.
When Song Dali came back from buying lamp oil, Yu Shu left enough silver taels for their daily expenses and explained to the two: "I told you that I am Yike, and now that Dayan is on the list, I have no distractions, you will live here for a while, and I will arrange for you to do things when I go back." ”
Zhou Hu and Song Dali were also happy that no one was in charge, and they agreed.
Yu Shu pointed to Zhou Hu to send her back to her residence in the west of the city, and before noon, she left Huixing Street again.
***
Yu Shu rested for two days, just after dealing with the chores and worries around her, and on the morning of the first day of the first month of March, Liu Tan sent someone to pick her up and go to the annex.
The weather is warm, Zhao Hui is pregnant, it is inconvenient for the housekeeper, the clothes and fabrics of this season have not been cut out, Yu Shu entered Beijing empty-handed, only the clothes of autumn and winter, and I can't even find a skirt that can be worn in spring.
However, she looks energetic, and her complexion is ruddy and shiny by He Fangzhi's three bowls of Chinese medicine a day, wearing a man's robe and long shirt, a bundle of belts, and her hair is neatly combed behind her head one by one, which is more upright and eye-catching than women's clothes.
Liu Tan and Helan Chou saw Yu Shu dressed like this, they both looked at it a few more times, the former frowned unconsciously, and the latter shook his head and groaned: "When people don't know Yu Xinle, they will be called idle teenagers~"
Yu Shu didn't understand what he meant, just smiled and followed Liu Tan into the sedan chair.
There was nothing to say all the way, when I arrived at Qiongyu Tower, when the time came, everyone was seated, there were still so few, but King Ning's side was more lively than before, Yu Shu took a closer look, it turned out to be Liu Yu and Liu Yi's Kun Xi, they all leaned to Ji Xingxuan's side, talking and laughing around her, very affectionate.
This is not surprising, the young Xiuyuan Da Yi Shi, the future is limitless, and most of his peers want to make good friends, not to mention the face of King Ning, you can think about how hot Ji Xingxuan is now.
Yu Shu pursed his lips and looked to the other side at Kun Xi, the twelfth prince Liu Gan, who was as lonely and unconcerned as himself, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with big eyes.
Who would have thought that the little girl was also looking at her, the two looked at each other, Yu Shu couldn't help but smile at her kindly, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she actually pulled the sleeve of Liu Gan, who was not much older than her, and muttered a few words, Liu Zhen nodded, she got up and left the table, and walked towards Yu Shu excitedly.
"I've seen the Nine Emperor Princes" The little girl first honestly saluted Liu Tan on Yu Shu's seat, and glanced in the direction of Yu Shu.
Liu Tan didn't embarrass other girls, nodded, pointed at Yu Shu, and introduced: "This is the Kun banquet I invited, Lianfang girl." This is my twelfth brother's Kun Xi, the sixth lady of the Xin family. ”
When Yu Shu heard the word "family", she knew that the childish girl in front of her was a famous family of Yi Xue, so she got up and made a greeting gift.
"Miss Xin."
"Lotus girl." Miss Xin Liu winked at Yu Shu, "Can I sit next to you, can we talk?" ”
Yu Shu turned his head to look at Liu Tan, and when he showed him, Liu Tan still gave Yu Shu face, waved his hand, and ordered the entourage behind him: "Set up a seat for Miss Xin." ”
So Xin Liugao happily sat down next to Yu Shu. (To be continued.)
