Qu Hao stayed in Chenjia Village for a day, and early the next morning he counted his bags and prepared to set off for Xinzheng.

Chen Da Mao's brothers insisted on accompanying them, but later dissuaded Da Mao, because he was busy preparing for marriage, repairing the house, buying furniture and items, and was accompanied by Er Mao to Xinzheng.

Chen Damao set the wedding to be held after they came back from Xinzheng, although it felt that the time was pressing, but Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi both promised to come over to help, now it is the winter leisure season, a lot of labor can be used, but at that time the building of a house is not too complicated, the decoration is not as complicated as modern society, there is no water and electricity sewers and the like, there is no ceiling, paint and flooring, ten days to repair the house, buy good things should be more than enough, everyone is looking forward to Meng Yao can come back to witness their wedding.

Zheng Shu and Ji Zhi returned to Zhuye on the day they came to Chenjia Village, and after they arranged the affairs of the family, they would go to Chenjia Village to help Chen Damao repair the house. Now only Ziyan wants to stay in Chenjia Village, accompanied by Chen Qing, the sisters have similar interests, and they are both waiting for the word boudoir, there are endless whispers, both of them are eagerly looking forward to Qu Hao's return from Xinzheng, one can see Sister Meng Yao, and the other can welcome the new sister-in-law into the door lively.

In order to arrive in Xinzheng as soon as possible, Qu Hao and Ermao did not use a carriage, but went by one horse, traveling lightly, and Ermao was very familiar with the road conditions, so the journey was very smooth.

Although the journey was smooth, after all, it was a long way, and the weather was not good, so the two arrived in Xinzheng on the afternoon of the sixth day.

After arriving in Xinzheng, he first found an inn to settle the horse, and then Ermao took Qu Hao to find Zheng Rong and his wife.

Ermao knocked on the door of Zheng's house, Zheng Rong opened the door and saw that Ermao was visiting with a stranger, and after hearing Ermao's introduction of Wu Mengyao's husband, he hurriedly invited the two to the house.

Li Hao also heard their voices in the back room, and when he saw that it was Wu Mengyao's husband who came to look for him, he was nervous, knowing that he must have come to find Wu Mengyao, and Wu Mengyao was sold to the Qinglou and had nothing to do with him.

After Zheng Rong beckoned the two guests to sit down, he called Li Hao to pour tea, Li Hao couldn't dodge, so he had to force a smile to greet the guests and pour tea, and then sat down next to Zheng Rong.

"Zheng Rong, you should be able to guess the purpose of Mr. Qu Hao's coming here, do you see if you can call Li Cang over?" Ermao said.

Speaking of Li Cang, Zheng Rong's face changed from enthusiasm for hospitality to solemnity, and Li Hao, who was sitting next to him, actually sobbed.

"Mr. Qu, this incident was indeed caused by Li Cang, and my wife also played a very bad role, we have to solemnly apologize to you for this matter, we are sorry for you and Wu Mengyao." Zheng Rong said.

"However, Li Cang, we told him not to come, because he has already passed away." Zheng Rong sighed and said again.

"Huh? How so? Wasn't it okay the last time we broke up? Besides, he's so young. Ermao was taken aback.

Zheng Rong got up and took out a small bag from the back room, opened it and put it in front of Qu Hao, Qu Hao and Chen Ermao saw that it was a piece of gold.

Li Cang sold Wu Mengyao to Yayun Pavilion, before Li Cang told Li Hao that the price of selling was one catty of gold, and promised that if Li Hao helped him, he would share half of it, that is, half a catty of gold for her, and then he really gave this half a catty of gold. I knew that the money was not clean, and I never dared to touch it. Zheng Rong said sadly.

"Later, we heard that Li Cang sold Wu Mengyao and agreed with the owner of Yayun Pavilion to get ten catties of gold, but the boss of Yayun Pavilion only paid him four catties of gold, or after Li Cang slashed himself with a knife, the boss of Yayun Pavilion was afraid to get it." Zheng Rong said again.

"But none of this is important, the key is that after Li Cang took the three and a half catties of gold, he became a different person. Having money made him extremely psychologically distorted and inflated, and since then he has lived a life of drinking, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, doing all kinds of evil, and losing all this money in less than a month. Zheng Rong said, sighing incessantly.

"It's okay if he loses, the key is that after he lived this unearned life, he no longer wanted to work and make a living, and he was bent on getting rich overnight again, so he sold his carriage to gamble, and lost it all again." Zheng Rong said while Li Hao was crying next to him.

"Li Cang became penniless after the carriage lost, and later came to us and asked us to borrow money. In fact, we know that he just wants to get back the half catty of gold he gave Li Hao. We knew that if the gold was given to him, he would still use it for gambling, so we lied to him that he had paid off his foreign debts, and only gave him a little money for food, hoping that he would reflect on himself, and when he figured it out, as long as he was willing to work, we would also be willing to buy him a carriage or open a shop. ”

Unexpectedly, after he left, he did not repent, and even cooperated with others to rob the house, ran to a wealthy house to rob it, and was killed by the family's cook. Killing him didn't count, the family wanted us to compensate for their losses, and later learned that he was an orphan, so they didn't do it. Zheng Rong choked up several times when he said this.

"After his death, I went to collect the corpse, and he was slashed seven times, unrecognizable, and it was too miserable. His parents died early, and if his parents saw him, they would have died of heartache. When Zheng Rong said this, his tears also flowed.

"Originally, I wanted to use this half catty of gold to build a tomb for him, but as soon as I thought that he would die on this unclean money, I could no longer defile him, so I paid for it myself and bought him a coffin to build a tomb. I hope that in the next life, he will change his mind and be a good person. Zheng Rong said slowly.

Qu Hao and Ermao were speechless for a long time when they heard this, and they didn't know how to comfort Zheng Rong and his wife.

"We don't want this gold, Mr. Qu will use it to redeem Wu Mengyao, although it is a little less, our family really can't come up with any money, I will go and sell the carriage tomorrow, let's make up a little bit." Zheng Rong said.

"Mr. Zheng, you must not sell the carriage, your family has to rely on this for food. If you think this gold is not clean, I will take it, I saved some money to redeem Mengyao, and this should be enough. Qu Hao was deeply moved by Zheng Rong's kindness and said busily.

"After Wu Mengyao was sold, we also went to all the Qinglou in Xinzheng to inquire about her whereabouts, but we didn't ask about her. Later, Li Cang gave Li Hao gold, and I forced him to tell him where Wu Mengyao had sold it, and he told us that it had been sold to Yayun Pavilion. After knowing her definite address, we went to look for her again, but they insisted that they had not met Wu Mengyao, so we really don't know how she is now. However, during this time, the whole Xinzheng was talking about a new red-card girl in Yayun Pavilion, her name was Qiu Yue, at first she said that she was a miracle doctor, and then it was rumored that she was a fairy, I don't know if Wu Mengyao changed her name there, if you want to go to Yayun Pavilion to find her tomorrow, I can take you over. Zheng Rong said again.

"No need, Mr. Zheng, since I know that Wu Mengyao is in Yayun Pavilion, I want to go over and look for her now, this place shouldn't be difficult to find, I can ask directly." Qu Hao said.

"But I'm worried that you will be in danger if you go, they are very wary of looking for people in these places, and they are worried that something will happen, there are many nursing homes guarding, I will send you there." Zheng Rong said.

"Okay, you can send us too. Don't worry, I won't be so reckless. This matter has passed, and since Li Cang has passed away, we no longer blame him, presumably he was also blinded by the ten catties of gold. You don't have to blame yourselves, let the past pass. Qu Hao got up to say goodbye, Zheng Rong hurriedly stuffed the gold into Qu Hao's hand, and after following them out, he went to the carriage and sent them to Yayun Pavilion.
