Chapter 665: Sting
In the end, only Ye Jinyu was left, she also failed in the first lap, and in the second lap, she tried to slow down herself and win steadily, when she successfully walked through all the roadblocks and finally reached the finish line, her palms were wet, and she was excited to jump into Yun Yu's arms and kiss him on the spot.
Fortunately, she still had her senses and endured it in front of so many people.
The five of them successfully obtained the mounts, rode to the end of the official road outside Tangtang City, and finally found the teleportation array, and teleported to Hibiscus City with people and horses.
Hibiscus City is not more prosperous than Admiralty City, but it is more lively and prosperous than Iris City. They took the map given by Shen Ying and quickly found the Yuan family marked on it.
The Yuan family is not only Zhu Xiuhua's husband's house, but also a courtyard house, looking at it for some years, the vermilion paint on the door is peeling, and the lock ring is also slightly rusty.
Jing Xingzhi went up and knocked on the door, and it was only after a while that someone ran out to open the door, but looking at a few of their strangers, his expression instantly changed from expectation to disappointment and vigilance.
"Who are you?" The young woman with a poor face took two steps back, ready to close the door at any moment.
"Madame, do you recognize Zhu Xiuhua?" Qi Guanyu asked.
The young woman took a step back, her face turned pale, the vigilance in her eyes had turned into hostility, and hurriedly replied, "I don't know! "The door is going to be closed.
Qi Guanyu pressed the handle of the knife against the door, and the young woman couldn't push it and let go suddenly, and the door immediately popped open half a door. His face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "I am from the official office of Admiralty City, and I have come to inform Zhu Xiuhua's son that his mother has passed away, and I hope you can go and claim the body as soon as possible." ”
The young woman's face turned pale, and she looked at them in disbelief, her eyes rolling around, as if considering the truth of their words.
"This is Zhu Xiuhua's relics, and after her death, the things should be returned to the family." Li Sui stepped forward and took out a few handicaps handed over to them by the government. This ability is to prepare for the urgent use of silver, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon.
When the young woman saw that the Jiaozi were all of large denominations, her eyes instantly lit up and her heart was moved. Rubbing his hands together, he said, "Look at my memory, my mother-in-law has been away for so long, I almost forgot my mother-in-law's name." Let a few officials laugh, come in and have a cup of tea. ”
The young woman spoke, finally getting out of the way.
Ye Jinyu quietly gave Li Sui a thumbs up and said in a low voice: "Wit, give you a thumbs up." ”
Li Sui didn't understand, but he knew that he was praising himself, and he touched her head very comfortably.
The inside of the courtyard looks much brighter than the outside, the yard is very clean, and the furniture in the house is very new.
They had cheated their mother out of so much money, but it was all spent on it.
The young woman made tea and brought it over, her eyes were looking at the Jiaozi in Li Sui's hand from time to time, and before she could speak, a four or five-year-old female doll suddenly ran out of the house.
Seeing that they were not timid, they went up to hug the girl, and asked aggrievedly: "Mother, Daddy hasn't come back yet?" Jiao'er misses her father, Jiao'er wants her father to hug, and her father promised Jiao'er that he will buy candy for Jiao'er......"
"Jiao'er!" The young woman snorted softly, wiped away the tears from her face, pushed the person to the door of the inner room, and said with a tiger face: "Come in, don't let the guests see the joke." ”
The little girl blinked her eyes aggrievedly, and finally went back to the back room under her mother's stern eyes.
"Let you laugh, the child always likes to pester her father, and she thinks about it after not seeing her for a few hours." The young woman explained, and when she heard the truth, her expression suddenly became miserable, and she asked with red eyes: "My mother-in-law, why did she go all of a sudden?" ”
"Zhu Xiuhua committed suicide and died, does Madame know what the reason is?" Qi Guanyu stared into her eyes and asked.
The young woman's body shook, looked away in a panic, and shook her head: "No, I don't know, my mother-in-law has been away from us for three years, and I rarely contact us." How could he commit suicide, wasn't he bullied in his mother's house? Have the adults checked it? ”
"Before there is time to trace it, the deceased committed suicide, and if the family does not ask for it, the government can directly close the case. What does Madame mean? Qi Guanyu didn't know the law here, but just used it to test her attitude.
When the young woman heard this, she immediately shook her head: "I can't be the master of this matter, and when my family comes back, I will discuss it with him again." A few people who came from afar must be tired, so it is better to go back and rest first. Just tell me where you are staying, and when we have a conclusion, we will inform you. ”
The five of them exchanged glances, decided to retreat, and got up to leave. The young woman was immediately anxious, but she restrained herself from showing it, rubbing her hands and reminding them in embarrassment, "This Jiaozi is my mother-in-law's relic, so leave it to me to take care of." ”
Li Sui put his hand behind his back, shook his head and said, "No, this thing must be handed over to the son of the deceased." ”
The young woman's face froze, and she paced anxiously in place, seeing that Ye Jinyu and the others were about to leave again, she immediately stopped the person and knelt down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, forgive me, I lied to you, my family has been missing for half a month, and he hasn't come back yet. I don't know when he will come back, and I can take care of my mother-in-law's affairs. ”
Everyone looked at each other, her husband had been missing for half a month, and this lady was not only in a hurry, but also thinking about her son taking possession of her mother-in-law's inheritance, how ruthless it should be.
"In this case, we will not be able to give things to Madame. Based on your words alone, we can't confirm whether you are really the daughter-in-law of the deceased. Qi Guanyu arched his hand and said.
The young woman immediately tugged at the corner of his clothes and kowtowed to defend herself: "What the woman said is true, the woman is indeed the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, if you don't believe it, you can ask the neighbors around here, they can all testify." And my daughter, you can ask her, she knows her father's name. "Jin Yong Chinese
At this time, her thinking could still be so clear, Ye Jinyu couldn't listen to it anymore, and stepped forward and asked, "Your husband has been missing for so long, has he reported the case?" What does the government say? If a big living person disappears in an unknown way, don't you worry that he has been killed? ”
The young woman's expression was in a trance, and she felt pressure in the face of so many pairs of eyes, and after a long time, she finally cried bitterly and explained: "He, he is not actually missing, he is locked up, I don't know where he is locked up." In the past half a month, I have sent two letters to my home, in addition to reporting safety, I also asked to send money. Twice, it adds up to a hundred taels of silver, and I am a woman from a Taoist family, and I can't carry it on my shoulders, so where can I get enough silver for him. ”
Speaking of this, crying even more painfully, holding Qi Guanyu's legs, shouted: "A few officials will save us, I am in a hurry to take these Jiaozi to save my life, if I can't pay the silver at the end of this month, I, my husband's life will be lost, please, please......"
"This is kidnapping for ransom, why don't you report it to the official?" Ye Jinyu questioned the woman who was crying on the ground.
The young woman raised her head and waved her hand again and again, "Can't report it, can't report it, those people will kill my husband." ”
"Are you sure your husband is still alive?" Ye Jinyu asked again.
"Those two letters are in his handwriting, and he must still be alive." The young woman's tone was very firm.
Qi Guanyu stretched out his hand and said, "Take out the letter." ”
The young woman lowered her head weakly, choked up, and said, "Burned, burned, burned, those people asked for it." ”
Qi Guanyu looked at the others and asked, "Do you know who those are?" Where do you ask to trade silver? ”
"No, I don't know, they said they would prepare the silver and put it behind the ruined temple outside the city." The young woman said.
"Aren't you afraid that they will go back on their word and take the money and kill people again?" Qi Guanyu's eyes became more and more stern.
The young woman looked at him in disbelief, sat down on the ground, and shook her head in a panic: "I, I don't know, I don't know anything as a woman, I just want to save my husband." ”
There was a brief silence in the room, and when they tried to continue their questioning, they woke up.
Ye Jinyu opened his eyes and looked at the unfamiliar tent, and only after a while did he remember where he was. Changing into the noble lady's clothes that she had prepared a long time ago, fortunately, when she was in the mansion, she specially asked them to teach her a few women's hair buns.
It's okay to barely match the headdress, it's the color of the clothes, colorful, rich and rich, which makes her feel like she is the wife of the nouveau riche.
But after she saw Hou Ye's dress, her heart was much more balanced. The bearded man in a brocade costume is dressed in colorful colors, like a hillbilly who has never seen the world, silly and stupid, and looks very deceiving.
Bu Cheng had already been escorted to Weiji City by the guards one step ahead of them, and in order to hide people's eyes, she and Hou Ye had to pretend to be husband and wife from Sui'an Town.
There are still two days to go, and on the way, you will pass through a city, and there are more than a dozen villages and towns of all sizes.
In order to save time, they did not go into the city, but drove all day, and finally chose to spend the night in a remote town with no village in front and no shops in the back.
The next day, after a long day of travel, he finally entered the boundary of Weijicheng, Ye Jinyu was not accustomed to the water and soil, and his eyes were swollen and slightly tingling since yesterday afternoon.
At first, she didn't pay attention, but when her eyes were red, and gradually she vomited and lost her appetite, she first thought that she was in good health, and it was impossible for her to get sick because of this bump, so it must be that she was not adapted.
She didn't tell Master Hou about this, because she didn't want to get into any trouble because of herself on the way. But she ignored her swollen eyes, Li Sui noticed that something was wrong with her early this morning, and planned to rest in the town for a longer night, and she could also find a doctor to show her.
But the little girl was too reckless to complain to him, and insisted on hurrying.
Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly his mouth suddenly opened, and he hurriedly went to the back kitchen to prepare a pot of brown sugar water, and found a leather water bag to fill it with hot water and asked Ye Jinyu to cover his abdomen.
Ye Jinyu saw his thoughtful actions, and at the same time he was moved and couldn't bear to hit him, so he simply pretended that he really had a menstrual affair.
"Is the hydration bag still hot?" Li Sui looked at the road outside the window, and estimated that it would take about three hours to reach the city.
Ye Jinyu patted the leather water bag wrapped in his clothes, "The temperature is just right." ”
Li Sui saw that her face was still not very good, her eyes were still red and swollen, and she was not very relieved, so she said: "Find a nearby inn to stay, and let people go to the city to invite a doctor to come over." ”
"Don't bother, just go straight to the city." Ye Jinyu waved his hand, and added listlessly: "The inn in the city is in good condition, I want to sleep comfortably." ”
Li Sui hesitated for a moment, moved the small few that stood in the middle of them to the bottom, sat down and patted his shoulder, and said softly: "If you are tired, sleep on me for a while." ”
Ye Jinyu hadn't eaten much in the past two days, and he vomited a few times, he was tired and in good spirits. After sitting in the carriage for a long time, she had long been drowsy, and at this moment, such a gentle and beautiful voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and the constant temperature from the man's body completely defeated her persistence.
"Thank you!" After saying that, the man fell into the man's arms and fell asleep.
Li Sui sat on her shoulders for a while, but there were some bumps on the road, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned on the cushion and half-lay down, hugged the person up, and adjusted his posture several times before fixing the person between himself and the cushion. Don't worry about it because of the bumps, he can protect it at any time.
