Chapter 675: Hurry
The young woman took a step back, her face instantly flashed with shock, panic, worry and curiosity, and she spoke after a while, "I, I am Zhu Xiuhua's daughter, are you really from the government?" What's wrong with my mother? ”
Ye Jinyu introduced her identity again, and said that they had already been to the Yuan family first, but they were interrupted by the other party before they finished speaking, looked behind them nervously, turned around and nodded to them, and whispered: "Two, two of you go in, let's go in." ”
The Zhou family looks obviously inferior to the Yuan family, Zhou Yuan's family has no children, and there is an old man in the family who is bedridden.
The young woman Zhou Yuanshi took them into the house to sit, Ye Jinyu carefully thought about the words to tell her about Zhu Xiuhua, Rao is so Zhou Yuanshi was still hit by this bad news for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses, and then suppressed his voice and cried bitterly.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I'm also a ghost, knowing that it's a pit and reaching out to my mother to ask for silver. For these things, my mother-in-law was angry to death, and my father-in-law was seriously ill because of this, and now even my father-in-law is ......."
Ye Jinyu and Li Sui looked at each other, and waited until Zhou Yuanshi had calmed down after crying, and then Ye Jinyu asked softly: "What do you mean by 'these things' just now?" ”
Zhou Yuanshi sniffed, hesitating and not daring to speak.
Ye Jinyu told them what they had heard from the Yuan family, and Zhou Yuan's words were confused about their family.
Ye Jinyu summed it up in his heart: Zhou Xing did business with his brother-in-law half a year ago, and persuaded his parents to take out the savings they had saved for most of their lives, but not long after they invested it, they asked for money from home.
Zhou Yuanshi felt that something was wrong, and after repeated questioning of her husband, she confessed that they had met a group of people who promised that as long as they paid enough money, they could provide shops in the best places in the city without rent, and only needed to withdraw 10% of the profit every month.
They took money from home several times just to get through the relationship, if they can really get a shop in the downtown in the future, the business will be booming, and the current payment is just for more gains in the future.
Zhou Yuanshi was worried that they would be deceived, but Zhou Xing scolded her for not understanding anything. Zhou Yuanshi couldn't persuade him, and then saw that her husband took money from home every month, and slowly relaxed his vigilance.
Later, Zhou Xing asked for more silver, but the family had been emptied, so he asked his mother to introduce him to his mother's family, Zhou's mother was resentful of her son's lack of anger and did not want to be embarrassed in her mother's family, so she was angry with her son to death, and Zhou's father was too sad and became seriously ill.
At this time, Zhou Yuanshi could no longer persuade her husband, and was forced to ask her mother for silver. Later, the mother couldn't give the money, Zhou Xing and his brother suddenly disappeared, and they also received a threatening letter.
Ye Jinyu felt that this routine was a bit similar to modern pyramid schemes, so he asked Zhou Yuanshi: "In addition to the two of you, is there any other family in Hibiscus City that has similar things?" Have you never thought of reporting to the police? ”
Zhou Yuanshi shook his head in a panic, "I don't dare, otherwise my Xiang Guild will die." It's just that we can't make up those silver taels, in fact, there are several families around us who have also encountered this kind of thing, and politely they have captured all men, leaving us old and weak women and children with no good idea. ”
"How many are there? It's the same situation as you? Li Sui asked.
Zhou Yuanshi thought for a while before replying: "There are probably five or six families, but the men of the Cui family are still there." Several of our daughters-in-law got together to discuss and tried to persuade the eldest brother of the Cui family, but he, like my husband, even if our family members were taken away, he still believed in those people. It seems that in two days he will send fifty taels of silver. ”
Ye Jinyu looked at Li Sui again, received his meaning, and then comforted Zhou Yuan's family, "Sister relax first, our people have already sent the ransom silver to the trading place, if there is no accident, your husband should be able to come soon, but I still have to bother my sister to take me to Cui's house." ”
Zhou Yuanshi knelt down to thank them in shock and emotion, and asked again before leaving: "I, when will I be able to get my mother's body back?" I know that I am an unfilial daughter, and I can only make up for my mistakes after my mother's death. ”
"Let's settle your affairs first......" Ye Jinyu showed a reassuring expression, and the dream was broken before he finished speaking.
Hey, it seems that the dreams are getting shorter and shorter lately, and a task has not been completed yet.
However, Yun Yu has already agreed to meet, and three days later, it is very likely that he will also be in Yingcheng from this time and place.
Maybe they've met before! On what occasion will he be born tall or short or fat or thin? She has to admit that she is a slight face control, but her requirements are not high, as long as the other party is not greasy, not crooked melons and cracked dates, her personality is not obscene, and there are no major problems in character, she can accept it.
In the morning, she went to Chen's house to practice tattooing, and before leaving, Miss Chen told her that her current technique can be used by real people.
Ye Jinyu was excited, for some reason, the tattoo on Miaoyin's body was not only Miaoyin's heart disease, but also her heart disease.
Back at the Hou Mansion, when she just wanted to tell Ling Zhao that she would go to the Cloud Garden first, she suddenly remembered that Ling Zhao was often away from her recently in order to take care of Bu Zheng.
Speaking of Qi Zheng, he now lives in the small courtyard of Steward Ling's house. After returning from Wei Jicheng, she had only seen the little guy once, and she saw that he was in good spirits at that time.
Don't know how it is now? Ye Jinyu hesitated, and decided to go see the little guy first.
When Ye Jinyu walked into Steward Ling's small courtyard, Ling Zhao was teaching him how to walk, and he didn't know how long he had been standing, the little guy was already tired and his face was flushed, and sweat was running down his sideburns.
"Ahem!" She coughed lightly, she knew the hard work of practicing the exercises best, and the biggest torture was not the body but the mind and perseverance. Seeing Bu Zheng gritting his teeth and desperately persevering, she admired this little guy quite a bit.
It's just that his body hasn't fully recovered yet, and it's not a good thing to be in a hurry to practice at this time. When she just wanted to say let Bu Zheng take a break, Ling Zhao had already seen her, and said to Bu Zheng as she walked this way: "It's none of your business, practice hard, and there is a stick of incense, hold on." "Bobo
Bu Zheng's eyes struggled for a moment, and he quickly glanced at Ye Jinyu, and continued to maintain the posture of a horse step.
Ye Jinyu saw that his legs were trembling, and his thin and thin body was shaking slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, but he couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm.
"Girl, why are you here?" Ling Zhao came over and asked.
Ye Jinyu raised his chin and pointed at the villain not far away, "Look at him, how is his body recovering?" ”
Ling Zhao also looked at Bu Zheng, with a satisfied expression on his face, and replied: "The illness is cured, and the new and old injuries on his body are also healed, but this kid's foundation is too poor and he needs to exercise more." ”
"It's no wonder, with such a father, did he ever find Bu Cheng?" Ye Jinyu turned his head and asked.
"I asked once, he was both scared and a little expectant of Bucheng, after all, he was a child, and he must still want to rely on familiar people in this strange environment." Ling Zhao said with emotion.
Ye Jinyu nodded, "Still can't think of anything?" ”
"Yes, when he was sold to Bu Cheng, he was estimated to be only four or five years old." Ling Zhao said.
A stick of incense passed quickly for two chattering people, and it must have been a long time for Bu Zheng, who gritted his teeth and persisted.
When Ling Zhao said "it's time", the little guy instantly sat down on the ground, rolled up his trousers and sleeves, and gasped for air.
Ye Jinyu patted Ling Zhao's arm and said, "Go ahead, I won't disturb your ......practice" Her eyes suddenly fixed on Bu Zheng's right leg, and there was a scar similar to a small fish on the right side of the calf.
"Ling Zhao, what's the matter with that scar on Bu Zheng's leg?" Ye Jinyu changed his voice sharply.
Ling Zhao nodded distressedly and said, "Bu Cheng, that brute, not to mention the bruises on Bu Zheng's body, the one on his leg is still burned, and Mr. Jiang can't get rid of that scar even if he uses many methods." However, Mr. Jiang also said that there should have been a birthmark under the scar, and I think Bu Cheng did this to destroy the evidence, afraid that Bu Zheng's biological parents would recognize him. ”
Ye Jinyu approached, squatted down to carefully observe the scar on his leg, the child was frightened, and hurriedly hid behind Ling Zhao.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Jinyu gently rubbed his head and got up to leave, she didn't go back to Fuyuan but went to Shen Pavilion.
Li Yi was quite surprised, he didn't call her for lunch today. Considering the meeting in three days, he also wanted to give himself a buffer and time to prepare.
"Master Hou, last time you said that you were looking for her missing brother for Miss Qianzhong, what marks did her brother have?" After Ye Jinyu finished saluting, he asked directly.
Li Yi immediately understood what she meant, and explained: "There is a birthmark, on the right leg, and they brought Bu Zheng here because of the information they got that Bu Zheng had a birthmark on his leg. It's just that the place is covered by burns, and the girl can't be sure if she has identified it carefully, and Bu Zheng can't remember anything, so she can't ask anything. ”
"Then when the Hou Ye wants to send them away, is it based on this that he is not the person that the Qianzhong girl is looking for?" Ye Jinyu asked again.
"It's only part of the reason." Li Yi said: "Later, I called someone to interrogate Bu Cheng, and the birthmark he described was different from the one on the leg of the younger brother of the thousand girls. ”
"Isn't it too coincidental, the same leg is in the same position, maybe Bucheng is lying." Ye Jinyu shook his head and said.
"It's possible!" Li Yi echoed.
However, he handed over this matter to Qu Zheng, and when Bu Zheng's identity could not be completely determined, Qu Zheng originally planned to send people back first, and then secretly investigate Bu Cheng's background. At the beginning, the youngest son of the Yun family was taken away by his mother, but there was no such figure around Bucheng's father and son.
In this unsubstantiated situation, they couldn't let Yun Qianju down a second time.
didn't expect Bu Cheng to be a scoundrel, and refused to leave, and was later bumped into by Ye Jinyu, raising doubts about Bu Cheng's identity. So they changed their strategy and continued their investigation along this trail.
"I remember that Bu Cheng was still locked up in the guest room, maybe he still has a lot of things to explain." Ye Jinyu looked at Li Yi and said, "Actually, Master Hou also thinks that Bu Zheng is very likely to be the younger brother of Miss Qianzhong." ”
"Those who know me, Jin Yu also." Li Yiwan'er, his fingers tapped on the table, and said: "Qu Yu has been to interrogate him a few times, Bu Cheng is hard-mouthed, I am afraid that if he says what he wants to hide, it will kill him." Now, Qu is sending someone to re-investigate his past. ”
"I see." Ye Jinyu suddenly felt that she was meddling, Hou Ye was such a smart person, he must be much more thoughtful than her, what else did she come to remind.
"I, I won't bother you if I have something to do, Jin Yu will retire." Ye Jinyu saluted, got the permission of the other party, and then turned to leave.
Li Yi looked at her back as she gradually disappeared outside the door, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bamboo slips spread out under her hand, and revealed the picture scroll below. It's just half finished, but fortunately, the ink hasn't been damaged, and if Jin Yu saw the content of the painting just now, I'm afraid I won't have to meet in three days.
