Zhou Village is a small village on the outskirts of Qiantang with a population of less than 100, and it cannot be found on the territory of Chu State. The reason why it was solemnly put forward by the Ten Books is because Zhou Village is the home of a hundred paintings!

Baihua is different from Shishu Qianqin Wanqi, these three people are all orphans, displaced since childhood, and have come to Guofu because of various opportunities. And Baihua was born in Wu County, born in Qiantang, is an authentic Jiangdong girl, because of the poverty of her young family, she was sold to Guo's mansion, and after Guo Mian's careful **, she was sent to Zhan Wenjun as a personal maid.

Among the four maids, she is the only one who has relatives, so she has concerns, so she gives people an opportunity to take advantage of!

Zhan Wenjun looked at Shishu's solemn expression and said, "Say it!" ”

"Baihua's father died early, her mother was paralyzed in bed, and she has been taken care of by her brother and sister-in-law.

"I know this, every year the festival will go back to save relatives, almost all of her money is used to subsidize the family, I and Lang remember her filial piety, and often have many rewards, and now should not live in poverty!"

What Mrs. said was that her family was rich in farmland, and it was already the most prosperous family in Zhou Village, and it was no longer the predicament of the past. However, after a visit, the people sent to Zhou Village found that about a month ago, Baihua's mother, brother and sister-in-law, and three nephews were all missing. Some villagers said that they moved to Qiantang City, and some said that they went to live in Wu County, and all kinds of words were different. ”

"Huh? It's gone? ”

Zhan Wenjun was taken aback, how smart she was, she had already guessed the result in her heart, her fingers held the armrest of the chair, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"The villagers were ignorant, thinking that Baihua was favored in Guo's mansion and could have the money and power to settle their families in a better place. In fact, with a hundred paintings of the month, it is beyond the power to buy a house in Qiantang, let alone Wu County? According to the clues found so far, "Shishu's tone does not have the slightest personal emotion, and it seems that the sisterhood with Baihua over the years has disappeared with the bloody scene unveiled, and said: "Combined with Baihua's actions the day before yesterday, if I expected it to be true, someone should have secretly captured her family to blackmail her into doing things......"

"Trying to blackmail her into doing something? What to do? ”

Shishu lowered his head, raised it again, his eyes were cold, and said, "Unspeakable!" ”

Zhan Wenjun was silent, she had always felt pity for the hundred paintings, but at this moment, she didn't know what it was like. Shishu waited for a while, but didn't see Zhan Wenjun speak, and said tentatively: "Do you want to take Baihua to Quanjing for questioning?" ”

Zhan Wenjun nodded, and Shishu was about to give an order, but she stopped him: "Don't use Quangong!" Wanqi, you go...... Don't scare her! ”

"No!"

Wan Qi came out of the shadows, glanced at the Ten Books, and slowly disappeared outside the door.

Shishu knows that Wan Qi and Bai Hua have the best relationship among the four maids, but they are not afraid of offending her because of this, in Guo Mansion, or in the entire Jiangdong, the only person she needs to be afraid of is there and only one!

Baihua hugged the bed and through the window, he could see that there were several times more guards in the courtyard than before. Since the ban is enough to come, she has thought a lot, shed tears, and begged the gods and Buddhas, but the hateful thing is that she usually doesn't like to read, and even the Heavenly Master or Buddhism has a few immortals who don't know.

Squeak!

The door opened, Wan Qi appeared in the room, Baihua was so happy that he lifted the quilt and was about to jump out of bed. But halfway through, looking at Wan Qi's face, his body stiffened, as if he felt something, and slowly sat down again.

"Madame asked you to come?"

She had a thousand words in her belly, and when she came to her lips, she found that she had nothing to say. Even the voice that is usually like a yellow finch has become hoarse, as if the withered leaves have been swept into the yellow sand, which makes people feel a sense of sadness in their hearts!

Wan Qi didn't say a word, walked up to her, and looked down at her. After a long time, she stretched out her hand and touched her hair, and her eyes showed a sadness that even she didn't understand, and said, "Let's go!" ”

The upper poor blue falls into the yellow spring!

Izumi Morimori, I don't know how many feet underground, and the cold air of early winter seems to be a little colder here. Baihua had only been here once before, and she never wanted to come again, but who would have thought that one day, she would walk into the spring well in such fear?

Step by step, into hell!

The dark and damp stone slabs make a muffled sound when stepping on them, and the corridor with no end in sight is like a labyrinth that can never be walked out. There are still traces of digging mountain walls on the left and right of the narrow corridor, and on both sides of the road are heavy stone gates, which not only block people's eyes, but also block the cruel other world behind the door!

Wan Qi stopped, looked back at Baihua, and said, "Go in, Madame is waiting for you inside." ”

Baihua stood in front of the stone gate, and plucked up his courage several times in a row, but he still couldn't raise his hand! She is not afraid of death, but afraid of seeing Zhan Wenjun and the disappointment in Zhan Wenjun's eyes!

"Go, don't keep Madame waiting!"

Finally, Baihua let go of all his thoughts and pushed the door in. The door opened and closed, Wan Qi turned sideways, leaned against the stone wall, quietly, waiting for the ending inside!

"Madame!"

Baihua folded his hands and knelt down, and heard a slight sigh in his ears: "Get up!" ”

She didn't get up, and said, "Madam, the servant is guilty!" ”

Zhan Wenjun said lightly: "What are your crimes?" ”

"A month ago, the servant went out on an errand and met a man in the city. With the silver bracelet that his mother wore all year round, he took his servant to a private house, where he saw his mother, sister-in-law, and nephew. Then, he ...... In front of his servant, he cut off one of his mother's fingers! Baihua raised his head, tears rolled down his delicate cheeks silently, and said: "The maid's mother is old, and her illness has lasted for many years, which is a fluke, but in the twilight of her life, she experienced the pain of a broken finger, and immediately passed out......

“…… After that, the man asked his servant to inquire about the secrets of Guo's mansion for him, otherwise he would torture his mother and others to the point that he could not survive or die. The servant was flustered for a moment, so she agreed to him, thinking that she would delay for a few days and seek a solution. But who would have thought that it was only two days before I received another finger from my mother, and the man sent a message, asking me to find out the difference in a short time, otherwise, otherwise it would be ......"

This kind of human tragedy is unbearable for anyone to bear, Zhan Wenjun's expression was full of pity, and he said, "What did he ask you to find out?" ”

Baihua's face was full of confusion, and he said: "What he said is not clear, he just said to see if there is anything different from the past in Guo Mansion, or more peculiar people and things." Madame also knows that I have always lived in a deep house, unlike the Ten Books and Thousands of Chess, each of which has its own affairs, so I can't find out any news. And so it dragged on for another ten days, and the man ...... The man gouged out one of my mother's eyes and cut off one of my brother's hands......"

Zhan Wenjun sighed again and said, "What about after that?" ”

After that, the maid begged bitterly, promising to poke out a few eyebrows, and asked him to give him a period of grace, and the man only allowed it for twenty days, if there is no definite news, he will want the lives of his mother and brother...... "Baihua cried silently, and said: "It happened that the master of Lang had an accident, and the lady asked the maid to take Xu Langjun to Mingyu Mountain, and it was at that time that the maid thought of the cliff waterfall for the first time. Five months ago, Lord Lang turned it into a forbidden place, isn't that the abnormal thing that that person wanted? But the maid didn't know anything about what was going on at the waterfall, so she was in a hurry, so she pulled Xu Langjun to find out......"

"I see!"

Zhan Wenjun pondered for a moment and said, "Did you tell that person about the Cliff Waterfall?" ”

"Nope! Since going up to Mingyu Mountain, the maid has not come down the mountain, and the person probably can't find this place for a while, so he hasn't contacted him yet. ”

Zhan Wenjun's mind was racing, and he figured out the origin of this person who persecuted a hundred paintings. This person is also a powerful person, and he can accurately find the only flaw around him. Ten books are mostly in Quanjing, and they don't see the light of day, Qianqin is in charge of intelligence, so it is naturally difficult to deal with, and Wanqi is even more skillful, only she provokes others, and no one dares to provoke her.

Only Baihua is not only his own confidant, but also has access to the secrets of the house, and he has the bonds of family affection, which is easy to coerce. The most important thing is that although she is cunning, she is naïve by nature, and she has not experienced much in the world, and after some intimidation, she has to bow down and accept her fate, which is really the best candidate.

Zhan Wenjun stood up, walked up to Baihua, and said helplessly: "Baihua, it is understandable that you are being held hostage, but if you betray the family, I will spare you, and Shishu will not spare you." This layer, do you understand? ”
