Chapter 301: The Fire of the Year
The efficiency of the wishing workshop is indeed not ordinary, but in two or three days, Yu Zhengran and Mr. Yu got the news: half a month ago, a woman in her twenties rented a carriage from a car dealership in Yulin Town to go to the northwest, as if she was calling herself Mo Niang.
Mr. Yu sighed: "Calculate the time, it was not long after Jin Xida began to investigate her, it seems that this woman is quite sensitive, she should have sensed something." But also, once her identity is discovered, she will die, can she not be sensitive? ”
Yu Zhengran frowned: "Half a month? It's a run for her life again, and it's estimated that she has returned to the northwest, and even if she is caught, she won't admit it. ”
Mr. Yu sighed again: "The problem is that it is really difficult to catch, our people have never seen her at all, and we don't know whether it is black or white, round or flat." ”
After being silent for a long time, Yu Zhengran suddenly asked, "Is it true that the Yongping Marquis Mansion can't insert a nail?" "There's no accurate intelligence, it's really passive.
Mr. Yu shook his head: "Jin Xida is very cautious, buying a slave is like recruiting a secret guard, he almost didn't check the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, and he likes to buy the whole family." According to those Ya women, the treatment of the servants of the two marquis mansions is much better than that of most people, but the rules are very strict, as long as they are found to have different intentions, they will directly pull out the whole family and sell them after playing fifty boards, and the women will be sold to the building, and the men will be sold as bitter slaves, and there is no superfluous word. It is not ordinary to buy their minions. ”
"If it is difficult, we must find a way, whether it is to insert a nail or buy it, this matter must be solved as soon as possible. Jin Xida and Xia Shujie are sensitive, so they will find a way around the two little ones, otherwise it will be okay to be around the old woman, and they can go in anyway. Yu Zhengran was a little irritable. If you really go to the Northwest Army. He needed news of the little fairy. It won't work without nails.
Mr. Yu nodded, he also thought, but unfortunately Xia Shujie's three siblings didn't know what they ate to grow up, not to mention the eldest one, and the younger two were ghosts and ghosts.
Once, on the way back from the academy, Shuwen arranged a drama of "selling himself to bury his father and encountering the forced purchase of the old bustard in the Qinglou", Shuwen really gave the girl silver, but made it clear that she didn't need to sell herself.
Naturally, the girl couldn't afford to kneel. You must "follow the book and make a cow and a horse to repay", what is the result? Shuwen replied directly: "I don't lack slaves, how can there be a reason to buy and sell?" Is your purpose to bury your father or sell yourself? Since you like to sell yourself so much, I will take back the silver, and you can continue to sell it. After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving a group of people who were acting and watching the play stunned, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Another time, they tried to send a "deaf and dumb" flower planter in, and the front was very smooth, but they were spotted by Shu Yao at the last moment. The reason is simple. The little girl suddenly roared behind the mother-in-law, frightening the "deaf and dumb" mother-in-law to turn around in horror. When he saw the white tiger, he yelled, hugged his head and ran.
……
As a result, even the tooth store was blacklisted by the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and she was no longer looking for her to buy people.
Since then, the other Ya Po and Ya Xing have been extremely careful to send people to the Yongping Marquis Mansion. You must know that the Yongping Marquis Mansion is not only generous to the servants in the house, but also deals with these tooth women, as long as the people are satisfied, they almost don't talk about the price. Besides, in this capital, no one wants to offend nobles like Jin Xida and Xia Shujie for nothing.
Yu Zhengran and the two had a secret conversation in the secret room of Yu Mansion, and when they were irritable and depressed because of Mo Niang's disappearance, Jin Xida also called Shu Jie and Shu Yao to the secret room of the study again, with a smile on his face: "Mo Niang has left safely and followed the caravan of the Nangong family to the northwest." As we expected, someone was really searching for Mo Niang's whereabouts, but fortunately, most of the car dealers and tooth shops in Yulin Town belonged to Wang Xi's family. ”
Shujie and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and finally laughed easily. If Mo Niang is really caught in the Central Plains, it is not only herself who will die, but also Yun Deqing, and the Yun family will never have a chance to turn over.
But the next moment, the brother and sister frowned again, who was staring at them so closely? Who discovered Mo Niang's life experience and told Murong Mansion? Is it someone from the house, or someone from outside? Is there an internal response in the house? After all, Mo Niang has always been very careful, and basically did not leave the house after entering Beijing.
Now those people are in the dark, they are in the light, and they can't be guarded.
Jin Xida comforted: "Actually, it's nothing, you don't have to be too nervous." We have always known that there are many people staring at us, but now we are just more aware of how closely and meticulously they are staring, which is just a wake-up call for us. By the way, Yao'er, there is another good thing, we have been able to confirm that Bao'er was indeed abducted and sold from the eldest princess's mansion. Unfortunately, the person who stole Bao'er had nothing to do with the water walk, and he didn't see the person who set the fire. ”
Jin Xida's people found Bao'er's previous adoptive father and adoptive mother, and then found the kidnapper, and then took the kidnapper into Beijing to find the seller of the year, a merchant surnamed Li.
Five years ago, Li Shang was still a famous Erlaizi who was mixed in the streets and alleys, and suddenly got the first pot of gold out of nowhere, started a business, and did a good job, and now he also lives in a big mansion, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and a hundred and ten slaves waiting.
Li Shang was caught, and he knew very well what kind of person he had offended, but he didn't argue, and soon poured beans from the bamboo tube, and all of them were confessed.
Back then, Li Erlaizi was lazy all day long, wandering around, stealing chickens and dogs when he caught the "opportunity", and he was confused for a few days. That night, he touched a jar of wine from a restaurant, but he was so drunk that he couldn't sleep with excitement, and wandered around, and somehow walked to the princess's mansion.
Li Erlaizi was sighing that the princess's concubine was lucky, and suddenly saw a fire in the Zhangzhu Princess's mansion, and it was still smoking, obviously going out of the water.
If he was on weekdays, no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare to go to such a mansion to steal or touch anything. But at that moment, he actually thought of a word that the storyteller in the teahouse said: rob while the fire is burning.
He thought, there are hundreds of people in big families, where do they know each other? It was night again, everyone was busy putting out the fire, who would go to see who in a hurry? Isn't God giving him a good opportunity? You must know that in a mansion like the princess's mansion, touching two things casually may be enough for him to eat and drink for a lifetime.
So he quickly climbed over the wall and touched the courtyard where the fire started, and strangely, the people in the princess's mansion were too slow to react, right? He touched into the yard, no one had come to put out the fire, and there was no sound in the yard where the fire started, and no one shouted "fire" and "help" and so on.
He naturally thought that this courtyard was uninhabited, and thought about running away with a few things quickly. Unexpectedly, "Yishun" actually "Shun" went to a room with people, two women and a child, and they all slept soundly.
He probed their snorts with his hand, and they were all alive, but there was no reaction at all, obviously they had been drugged.
Li Erlaizi was happy, the eight-treasure gold collar hanging around the child's neck was a treasure at first glance, and the jewelry on the two women was also real gold, silver, and jade.
Not daring to delay for a moment, he quickly took off the collar, as well as all the jewelry on the two women, two purses, wrapped the handkerchief on one of the women and stuffed it into his arms, and prepared to escape.
He didn't dare to be greedy anymore, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and there was the sound of the beam falling, and if he didn't run, even if he wasn't caught, he would be burned to death.
Just as he was about to lift his leg, the boy moved, twisted his body, and smacked his lips.
Er Laizi didn't know why he suddenly thought of his son who died at birth and his wife who was sold by him to pay off gambling debts. The ghost picked up the child and rushed out of the yard and over the wall. He told himself that this child was so beautiful that it would be worth a lot of money if he sold it.
Later, he really sold the child, but repeatedly explained that the kidnapper must be sold in the capital, saying that he was stealing his relative's child and selling it to pay off his debts, and he couldn't sell it in the capital, for fear of being discovered.
The kidnapper knew what kind of goods Li Erlaizi was, so he naturally believed his statement. And the children in their hands were originally abducted and tricked, so they didn't care what the way they came from. It happened that there were several children in hand, so I quickly left the capital.
……
The Shujie brothers and sisters sighed with emotion, it was really artificial! It's just that Li Erlaizi's confession can only show that the people around Bao'er at that time were "sleeping to death", and it can't prove who set the fire? Did someone take the drug? And who gave the medicine? Li Erlaizi didn't see a single person with his eyes open from beginning to end in that courtyard.
This is the same as when it was just suspicion and there was no evidence, and there was no progress.
The only thing that is reassuring is that there is no behind-the-scenes person manipulating this, or trying to use the fact that Bao'er survived and returned. It is a coincidence that Li Erlaizi, who took advantage of the fire to rob, saved Bao'er and sold Bao'er.
Princess Zhangzhu didn't do anything to Li Erlaizi, didn't make him bankrupt and kill him as he thought, just told him to keep his mouth shut and come to him when he needed to speak, so she let him go.
The Queen Mother did not intervene, no matter what, Li Er Laizi saved Bao'er's life after all, and also confirmed some of her conjectures about the situation back then. Although Bao'er was sold for three years, she was almost abandoned by her adoptive mother in the woods...... After all, they were rescued at a critical moment and did not suffer anything, which is Bao'er's blessing.
And the Mo Niang who saved Bao'er and took Bao'er back to Beijing is really the lucky star of Bao'er and Princess Zhangzhu. The Queen Mother decided that after Mo Niang returned to Beijing from visiting her uncle, she and her family must be rewarded.
Li Erlaizi has now changed his ways and is a serious businessman, even in order to accumulate blessings for Bao'er, the Queen Mother and Princess Zhangzhu have decided not to embarrass Li Erlaizi anymore, which can be regarded as the return of Li Erlaizi's "kindness of one thought".
……
"Yao'er," Jin Xida continued, "The Queen Mother and Princess Zhangzhu are ready to officially disclose Bao'er's background on a certain day, Bao'er is still too young, and there are many things to tell him slowly, and the Queen Mother and Princess are afraid that they will be too anxious to scare him." Bao'er's most trusted people are Mo Niang and you, and now that Mo Niang is not here, I can only leave the matter to you to explain to Bao'er. (To be continued......)
