Chapter 106: Aftermath
Yu Shu led Yu Xiaoxiu out of the gate of the Ji family, of course he went to Zhao Hui's house first, and the sisters and brothers discussed on the way:
"Sister, let's go to the capital, will Aunt Hui go with us?"
"Aunt Hui's condition has just improved, it is not suitable for boating, I will leave the money two, let Aunt Hu and He Langzhong help take care of it, after a year and a half, when she is in good health, it will depend on her wishes at that time."
"Well, He Langzhong is really a good person, oh, and Brother Cao, they are all good people."
Yu Xiaoxiu suddenly mentioned Cao Zixin, Yu Shu was stunned, silent, didn't answer his words, raised his eyes and arrived at the door of Zhao Hui's house, Yu Shu stepped forward to knock on the door, but found that there was a lock hanging on the door.
"Sister, why are you locking the door?" Yu Xiaoxiu turned his head strangely and asked Yu Shu.
Yu Shu shook his head, his face was a little worried, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouted a few times, but didn't hear anyone respond, but he summoned the person next door-
"Xiaoyu?"
Yu Shu turned his head, and saw Aunt Hu standing at the door with a vegetable dao in her hand, and when she saw their sister and brother, she was very surprised, and trotted over in a panic, and said head-on:
"Where have you been these days, do you know that something big happened a few days ago, He Langzhong injured someone and was arrested by the yamen!"
Yu Shu's expression froze, and Yu Xiaoxiu said nervously: "He, He Langzhong was arrested by the Yamen, what about my Aunt Hui?" β
Jinbao, who was sleeping in Yu Xiaoxiu's satchel, was woken up by them, and grabbed the bag uneasily, but no one paid attention to it.
"Your Aunt Huiβalas!"
"Aunt Hu, what the hell is going on?" Yu Shu was scared and shocked, afraid that Zhao Hui would have any accidents, and what was shocked was that she had the law of disaster that night, obviously she had calculated Zhao Hui's eight characters, and did not know that she had a disaster recently, why did she still have an accident?
"Let's go to the courtyard and go."
When cooking at noon, a few families in the alley came out to pour water, and they had noticed the movement here, Aunt Hu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu, pushed Yu Shu into her yard, closed the door, turned her back and said:
"The morning before yesterday, I was drying clothes at home, I heard a commotion next door, and when I went over, the door of your Aunt Hui's house was wide open, and the house was noisy, smashing the table and stools, I don't know what happened, and after a while, I saw He Langzhong bombarding a man and a woman out, the woman's ferocity, going up to grab the hair and bite the hand, He Langzhong and the man got into a mess, somehow hurt people, and saw blood - that afternoon, someone came to the yamen, and He Langzhong was arrested, and your Aunt Hui stumbled and chased after her, and fainted outside the doorββ"
"And where is she now?" Yu Shu couldn't help but interject.
"That's right, that's what I want to tell you," Aunt Hu put the kitchen knife into the bamboo basket, took Yu Shu's hand and said: "When the yamen came to arrest people that day, there was a master in the alley, and after watching the excitement on the side, I inquired about you, saying that it was your owner who was working outside, and heard about your Aunt Hui, so she took your Aunt Hui away, saying that she was afraid that she would be alone, and someone would trouble her again, and I wanted me to tell you, when you came back, go to the Tai, Thailand and what chamber of commerce to find him, oh yes, he said that his surname is Pei." β
It's Pei Jing!
Yu Shu knew a rough idea in her heart, it must have been the family she had been engaged to that day that day, but she didn't expect this group of shameless people to dare to come to the door, fortunately, He Fangzhi was present at the time and did not let Zhao Hui be alone, but he was arrested for hurting people and suffered an unjustified disaster.
With a tight brow, Yu Shu thanked Aunt Hu, and dragged Yu Xiaoxiu away in a hurry.
Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu rented a carriage on Changmenpu Street and rushed directly to the main hall of Taiheng Chamber of Commerce.
"Yo, isn't this Ah Shu, where have you been these days!"
Xingqi was sitting at the door of the hall drinking tea, Yu Shu saw it as soon as he came in, raised his hand and beckoned to her, Yu Shu pulled Yu Xiaoxiu and walked over:
"Okay, shopkeeper, is Mr. Pei here?"
Xingqi saw that she was sweating profusely, and he knew a little in his heart, so he stood up and said, "No, go, I'll take you to his house to find it, and your aunt is also there." β
Seeing that Xingqi also knew what was going on, Yu Shu didn't ask much, so he and Yu Xiaoxiu followed him in front of the door and waited for the car, and sat from the north of the city to Pei Jing's house in the west of the city.
Pei Jing's house is also a big house, there is a courtyard in front of the door, obviously he knows Xingqi, the porter did not stop it, a servant went in to inform Pei Jing, Xingqi took Yu Shu to the living room in the front yard to wait.
The Pei family is a businessman, maybe the house is not bigger than the Ji family, but the scenery of this courtyard is exactly the same, Yu Shu has no intention of appreciating it at the moment, and after sitting in the living room for a while, he simply walked to the door and waited.
The servant came up with tea, and after a while, Yu Shu saw that Pei Jing, who was wearing an idle bean green smock, was walking towards this side, and before he arrived, Yu Shu gave a salute:
"Mr. Pei."
Pei Jing stood at the door, looked Yu Shu up and down, pointed to the house and said, "Go in first and sit down, I have something to ask you, your aunt is resting, and my wife is with her, don't worry." β
"Yes." Yu Shu followed him into the living room, and when Xingqi saw him coming, he got up and said, "You guys talk slowly, I'll go back to the Chamber of Commerce." β
Yu Shu said: "Thank you for sending me." β
Xingqi waved his hand and left, Pei Jing looked at Yu Xiaoxiu, "This is your brother?" β
"Well, his name is Xiao Xiu," Yu Shu came over and Yu Xiaoxiu saluted Pei Jing, Pei Jing touched Yu Xiaoxiu's head, beckoned a maid in, pointed to the door and said, "I have something to say to your sister, you follow her to the yard to play for a while, okay?" β
Yu Xiaoxiu looked at Yu Shu, and when he saw Yu Shu nodding, he patted the Jinbao in the bag and obediently followed the big girl.
Yu Shu heard Pei Jing speak to Yu Xiaoxiu, and he knew that he had found his daughter's body, and he did not show his timidity, only after Yu Xiaoxiu went out, he apologized to Pei Jing and said:
"I concealed Mr. Pei before, and I had to do it, and I hope that Mr. Haihan will be returned."
Pei Jing didn't look angry, and said very understandably: "When you go out, it's right to be defensive, not to mention that you haven't lied to me about anything, but you have helped me a lot." β
Yu Shu saw that he didn't care, so he was relieved, and was about to ask, when he heard Pei Jing say:
"Your Aunt Hui's matter, I sent someone to inquire, how much do I know some inside information, she got into trouble with that family, it is the late Dou Yuanwai family in the west of the city, this Dou family itself is nothing in Yiyang City, but they have a lot to do with the Yi Xue Ji family in the east of the city, the wife of the second master of the Ji family, want to call Dou Yuanwai a personal uncle, Dou Yuanwai went a few years ago, leaving the eldest daughter Dou Hong in charge of the family, she also has a sister named Dou Lu."
"Lang Zhong, who gave you Aunt Hui's treatment, injured this Dou Lu's husband, it is said that the person's leg is broken, yesterday he handed over the complaint to the yamen to accuse this Lang Zhong of murder and injury, the yamen opened a court to try the case, that Lang Zhong refused to admit his guilt, was beaten and put in prison, waiting for a retrial in the future, like this lawsuit, to eat the least to say that it will be sentenced to five years."
After listening to Pei Jing's narration, Yu Shu's face was ugly for a while, he didn't expect things to be so big, he didn't expect that this would have something to do with the Ji family.
Pei Jing talked for a long time, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "According to the book, I will find a way, so I can help him say that it will be a year and a half, but this Dou family has something to do with the Ji family, what about the Ji family, the wife of the county order of Nama is Miss Ji family, tell me how to ask for favors." β
"I am very grateful that my husband can take my Aunt Hui home to take care of her." Yu Shu has never been a person who has to make inches, Pei Jingneng temporarily took in Zhao Hui to repay her favor, and there is no reason to rescue He Fangzhi again, but He Fangzhi is affected by Zhao Hui, and now that she has a lawsuit, she can't sit idly by.
"I told you all this, I want to tell you that the reputation of the Dou family outside is not very good, if this happens, even if they sue people in prison, they will not give up, if they find your Aunt Hui, they will definitely be embarrassed, you will live in my house first, to avoid the limelight."
Yu Shu thought about it, now there is only one way to settle down, and then find a way to save He Fangzhi.
Pei Jing took Yu Shu to the backyard to find Zhao Hui, and as soon as he walked to the door of the room, Yu Shu heard a sad cry inside, it was Zhao Hui-
"Please Mrs. let me go, I'll stay here, that child must be looking for her, I really can't bear to drag her down, you don't know, my life is all picked up by her, it cost hundreds of taels of silver to take medicine and see a doctor, a few hundred taels of silver! You said where did she get it, but she still hid it from me, and didn't tell me, I have never seen such a loving child again, and she will not give up when she knows about the recent events, and she will not give up, and she will stand up for me, but where is this something she can control, Mrs. let me go, please."
Another female voice in the room was relieved:
"Girl, where are you going to go?"
"It's me who is in trouble, the Dou family is incorruptible and shameful, they bullied my family's wealth back then, and now they force me to be cornered, implicating others, I want to go to the yamen to sue them! Even if I give up this life, I will also seek justice! β
"Wow-"
Yu Shu pushed the door open suddenly, and at a glance, he saw Zhao Hui, who was pitifully thin and thin under the bed, kneeling on the ground, holding a middle-aged woman's hand with a white face and crying, her heart was in mourning, she strode forward, squatted down and hugged her bones.
"Aunt Hui."
What's wrong with Zhao Hui, she is diligent, kind and honest, how can such a good person not have a good life!
Those who are shameless have lost their conscience and live more freely than anyone else!
"Xiao, Xiaoyu?" Zhao Hui was held by Yu Shu in a daze, and after a while, she hurriedly pushed her away, hurriedly wiped her tears, lowered her head and said:
"Y-Why are you here?"
Yu Shu saw that Zhao Hui still wanted to cover up, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, he reached out to help her up, and together with the woman on the side, wrapped her back on the bed and sat down, without waiting for Zhao Hui to speak again, he said first:
"Aunt Hui, I've heard about He Langzhong, don't worry, let's think about ideas together, okay?"
Hearing this, Zhao Hui stiffened, raised her head and said with a wry smile: "You kid, what stupid things are you talking about, where is your turn to think, didn't you go home, why did you run out again?" β
Knowing that she was changing the topic, Yu Shu flipped her cuffs to wipe her tears, and said softly: "I was kicked out again, with Xiao Xiu." β
