At night, after the county lord's mansion and Su Li finished washing, the maids all withdrew, and the room was quiet, leaving only a faint and dim light.

The lamp is appreciated together with the 100,000 taels of silver, the lampshade is a beautiful glass lamp, which is not a candle flame, but a night pearl, the light is soft and soft, reflecting a brilliant and blurry projection, which is very beautiful.

Su Li sat at the head of the bed with a coat in her hand, holding the two marriage documents in her hands.

The marriage books are all written by Chu Huai'an, and the handwriting is rare and beautiful, strong and elegant, just like his person.

Su Li still remembered how happy he wrote these two marriage letters in Lizhou that day, he bit his fingertips, put blood pressure on her fingertips, and solemnly covered his handprints, promising her the rest of her life.

However, after more than a month, he returned the two marriage documents to her, or borrowed them from others, without even explaining in person.

Su Li re-read the words on the two marriage books many times, and almost every word was burned in her heart and engraved in her mind.

She is only twenty-one, has experienced countless lives and deaths, and has liked two people, but she has never sworn an alliance with others.

Every word on this marriage book is a promise from her heart, and when she wrote the marriage book, she thought that she would marry the man named Chu Huai'an, be his wife of Xiaoyaohou, teach him husband and children, stay with him until he is old, respect him, love him and take care of him.

She fantasized a lot about their future in her heart, but she never thought that they would actually have a future.

After looking at it for a long time, her eyes were a little sour, Su Li raised her hand and put the marriage book aside and opened the purse.

The purse is very old, the style is a little familiar, Su Li looked at it carefully for a while and recognized that it was the purse that Chu Huai'an had carried with him before, and he had taken it out to bet at the palace banquet last year, when he collected it quickly, Su Li only glanced at it, guessing that it was given to him by Su Bangyue, and he had worn it until now.

After seeing the contents of the purse, Su Li was slightly stunned.

In the purse is an ordinary goose warm stone, the stone is light orange, I don't know if it is often taken out to play, the surface is very smooth, as if deliberately polished, there are a few white stripes inside, slightly better than the general stone, but worthless.

This was given to him by Su Li on Chu Huai'an's fifteenth birthday.

Chu Huai'an's fifteen-year-old birthday was very grand, and the first emperor's health was not very good at that time, so he wanted to use his birthday to give the first emperor Chong Chong joy.

On the day of his birthday, the first emperor and the queen mother both went out of the palace to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion to celebrate his birthday, and the princes and ministers in Beijing also gathered together.

That day, the handsome little marquis was proud, received countless rare gifts, and the favor he received was also peerless, which made many people envious.

However, Chu Huai'an was very unhappy that day, because the person he wanted to see the most did not go.

Su Bangyue has already passed the flute, and after the flute, she was asked by the Zhao family to practice female celebrity and prepare her own wedding dress, the embroidery requirements of the wedding dress are extremely high, and she has no chance to go out to participate in Chu Huai'an's birthday banquet.

In fact, it is not that there is no chance, Xu is Su Wanyue has long been aware of Chu Huai'an's thoughts, and feels that this inexplicable relationship should be cut off, so she deliberately avoided Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an drank a lot of wine that night, and at night he was familiar with the way over the wall and entered the Shangshu Mansion to find Su Bangyue, Chu Lingzhao, who was still the prince at the time, happened to be in the mansion, Su Li was uneasy after returning from the banquet, and finally stopped Chu Huai'an and secretly took him out of the Shangshu Mansion when Chu Huai'an almost collided with Chu Lingzhao.

Out of Shangshu Mansion, Chu Huai'an went crazy and took Su Li on a horse and galloped in the city, and then plunged into the moat.

Chu Huai'an can't swim, it is said that he accidentally fell into the lake when he was a child, so he has been afraid of water since then.

Wine is strong and intimidating, and he is not afraid at all when he is drunk.

Su Li jumped into the river and tried to get him out of the river, but he was confused, and kept shouting that he felt that he was empty and affectionate, but he couldn't see hope, and it was boring to live, so it was better to die like this.

Su Li's strength was still small at that time, and she couldn't toss Chu Huai'an at all, Chu Huai'an drank a lot of water, and then she couldn't breathe, grabbing Su Li's lips and instinctively finding her lips to grab the air.

It was an unprecedented intimate action, which made Su Limo, who was ignorant and naïve in terms of feelings, vaguely have some ambiguous thoughts.

Now that she thinks about it, Su Li is actually not sure if she likes it, maybe the person who has intimate contact with her for the first time is another man, and she may also have the idea of being shy and can't help but want to get close.

In order to make Chu Huai'an obedient, Su Li touched a stone from the river and put it in his purse, falsely claiming that it was a birthday gift from Su Wanyue, and quoted a very beautiful poem.

The king is regarded as a rock, and the concubine is regarded as a reed, and the reed is like silk, and the rock has no transfer.

Chu Huai'an didn't remember the poem, but he understood the meaning of the poem, so he took his purse and went ashore with satisfaction, and seriously made a rock for many years, guarding his pu wei.

Su Li didn't expect Chu Huai'an to keep this stone and purse for so many years.

The silk thread of the purse originally embroidered with patterns has worn out a lot, and the thread head is frizzy and irritable, and it is no longer as delicate as it was original.

Su Li gently rubbed the purse, and her heart swelled with shallow sourness and suffocation.

I don't know if it's for the love of being young and paying lightly, or for those years that have long passed.

Time flies so fast, and she is no longer the brave she was at the beginning.

I saw it until the second half of the night, my eyes were so sore that I couldn't open them, so Su Li put a few things away and went to sleep.

didn't sleep for long, Su Li was woken up by the maid, the maid shouted to her urgently, panicked and said for a long time without saying a reason, Su Li changed her clothes and came out, pressed to get up and followed the past to know that it was the soldier who brought back yesterday The nightmare in the middle of the night, actually broke the bed board, stabbed himself with stubble, and the next person saw the mess and blood all over the bed in the morning, and was so frightened that he lost his soul.

Su Li asked the doctor to go to the doctor, and asked the maid to boil hot water, and she first pulled the cloth strip and bandaged it for the soldier simply.

Su Li had already seen it yesterday, this soldier did not have a waist card on his waist, I don't know if he lost it or deliberately hid it.

This soldier ignored Su Li's feelings at all, lying on the bed and howling in pain, and kept talking nonsense in his mouth.

He wanted to die, he didn't want to live in the world anymore.

Afraid that he wouldn't be able to think about it, Su Li knocked him unconscious again.

The doctor soon arrived, treated his new wound, and removed the gauze from the severed arm.

As soon as the gauze was removed, all the maids in the room were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and their faces turned pale.

The wound on the severed arm was obviously not well medicated, and the wound that should have been scabbed had faint signs of whitening and rotting, looking hideous and terrifying.

Although Su Li's face turned pale with fright, she was still shocked, no wonder he cried out in pain when she just touched this person's broken arm yesterday.

"How so??"

The doctor's face was not very good, and Su Li turned his head to look at him: "He was injured on the battlefield, although he was given the best medicine to treat his injuries, there is no need to worry about money." ”

"Yes."

The doctor responded, and together with Su Li, he helped him deal with the wound and re-bandage it.

Afraid that he would do something stupid again, Su Li transferred a guard over to watch him specifically.

If he wants to do self-harm, he will directly knock the person unconscious, pour medicine into it, and then communicate slowly when the injury is better.

After doing this, the sun was already a little high, Su Li went back to the room to wash, and after breakfast, she went out with two guards.

The shop and the land are already in good shape, and she still needs manpower to operate.

In the past few days, she has already had a plan, she can buy cloth from other workshops to make clothes, and first spread out the ready-to-wear clothes, but most of the colors of the cloth on the market are relatively simple, and the cloth made by herself to raise silkworms and grow cotton with unique dyeing technology is better.

The 100,000 taels of silver was asked by Su Li in the imperial study that day, and she promised Chu Lingzhao that she would make the 100,000 taels of silver increase tenfold within three years, not only that, but she also wanted to reach trade with several neighboring countries in Yuanzhao as the first imperial merchant of Yuanzhao.

After the battle of the Hu people, Chu Lingzhao has realized the tragic problem that the news blockage will bring, and he will start to purge the Qing Dynasty and strengthen contacts with other countries.

If the countries are good, then Yuanzhao is their ally, and if the countries are not good, Yuanzhao should also defend early.

To do this, Su Li's manpower is naturally not an ordinary person, yesterday I heard Zhao Hu say that the two thousand soldiers who survived the Zhenbei Army were going to be dismissed and returned to their hometowns, Su Li's mind unconsciously hit them.

These men were the most rigorously trained, skilled, and righteous, and they were unfit to go back to war, but their repatriation would have been a bit of a tragedy.

They have been in the army for many years, except for the little silver taels that are dismissed, they have no other livelihood skills, and they don't know what they will face when they return to the township.

After the development of the business, the family of Yuanzhao soldiers can also get a better living security.

There are a lot of ready-to-wear shops in the city, all of which have their own fixed cloth suppliers and embroiderers, and embroiderers with good skills will not easily do work for others, which is the rule of this industry, so if Su Li wants to make clothes, she has to find another embroidery girl.

So Su Li went to the military department to ask for a roster of soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, and marked out the people whose ancestral homes were near Kyoto, a total of three hundred and twenty people, Su Li sent people to visit door to door according to the marked list, and all those in the family who could embroider things were registered, and he took Eleven and two guards to the shops in the city to discuss the cloth business.

After comparison, Su Li found that the fabric material of the garment shop in Jingnan was the best, the material of the garment shop in Xiangning in the north of the city was second, the material of the garment shop in Zhao'an in the west of the city was acceptable, and the material of other garment shops was not good at all.

Su Li first went to the Jingnan garment store.

After the collapse of the settlement house, the Jingnan Garment Shop is now the largest shop in the city, with a three-way house with a spacious façade, a wide variety of cloth and ready-to-wear styles, and novel styles.

As soon as Su Li and Eleven entered, a guy stepped forward and pulled Su Li out in a panic.

"Hey, who are you? What do you want to do? ”

Eleven shouted loudly, and the two guards next to him drew their knives to block the guy's way, and the guy was so frightened that he immediately paused, and looked back at Su Li with a red face.

"Auntie...... Girl, my salary has not been ...... this month No, ...... I'm going to pay the girl back next month. ”

The more this man talked, the redder his face became, Xu had never done anything to owe others a silver tael, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground and drill down on the spot.

Su Li thought for a while and remembered that this person was the guy named Zhang Wu before, and seeing that he seemed to be so embarrassed that he was about to faint, she patted him on the shoulder: "Zhang Gongzi don't have to be nervous, I'm not here to ask for accounts today, I just want to come to talk to your boss Zhou about a deal." ”

Zhang Wu was wearing coarse linen clothes, and he was used to being yelled at on weekdays, and suddenly heard the title of 'Zhang Gongzi', and suddenly panicked: "The girl calls me Zhang ...... Zhang Wu is, I'm just a rough person, and I can't afford to be called a son. ”

“……”

Just when you talk like this, where do you look like a rough person?

Su Li scolded and smiled: "It's just a title, Zhang Gongzi doesn't have to mind, please take me to meet your boss, I have something serious to discuss with him." ”

This smile was shallow and warm, and Zhang Wu suddenly thought in his heart that this girl was different from others.

He shook his head, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Girl, please come with me." ”

Behind the garment shop is a quiet small courtyard, the yard is planted with two jujube trees, full of spring, the tree is already a green young leaves, in the sun to look very good.

Zhang Wuyi silently walked forward with Su Li, and after a while, there was a babbling sound in his ears, the sound was both painful and joyful, Zhang Wuyi immediately changed his face when he heard it, and subconsciously turned his head to cover Su Li's ears, but was a little stunned by Su Li's calm face.

"Girl, Xu is the young owner is doing some ridiculous things in the house again, the girl might as well wait outside first, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come out."

Zhang Wu whispered, his tone was pleading, for some reason, he didn't want Su Li to have anything to do with such a dirty thing.

Su Li was not interested in listening to the corner of the wall, so she turned around and prepared to leave, but she heard the voice in the room suddenly become high-pitched, and after a while, the door was opened, and a rough man walked out with a sack.

Su Li's steps stopped, and seeing the strong man approaching with the sack, a shallow fishy smell could be faintly smelled in the air, and it could be seen from the outline that the strong man was carrying a person.

The door was not closed, and the lazy voice of Young Master Zhou in the house came: "What about the people, where are they all dead, why don't you send hot water to the master!" ”

Su Li frowned slightly, and gave the guard a look, and the guard stepped forward to stop the strong man.

"Who's in the bag?"

Su Li asked, the strong man didn't expect to be stopped in his owner's territory, raised his thick eyebrows, showed evil anger on his face, and said in a thick voice: "It's about your!" I don't care about you! ”

Saying that he was leaving, the guard quickly moved, snatched the sack from the strong man's shoulder, and kicked him away.

The strong man lay on the ground, curled up in pain, and cursed in his mouth, Young Master Zhou heard the movement in the house, and rushed out loosely with a robe: "Let you quietly send people away, what are you arguing about!" ”

Young Master Zhou was born okay, his appearance is fair, but I don't know if he is overindulged, his body is thin, his eyes are blue and black, and he looks short-lived.

Su Li only glanced at it and then withdrew her gaze, the guard had opened the sack, and inside was a woman, unconscious, undressed, and she could see the traces of bruises on her body.

The guard didn't dare to look at it more, and took off his robe and covered the woman.

"Who are you?!"

Young Master Zhou rushed over, and looked at Zhang Wu angrily without waiting for Su Li to answer: "You idiot again, Lao Tzu picked you up and saved your life, why don't you treat Lao Tzu as a dog, what tricks do you play on me?" ”

"Young owner, this girl is here to talk to the master about business."

Zhang Wu replied honestly, quietly lifted his eyes to look at Su Li, and felt uncomfortable, he had been used to being scolded these days, but today he was scolded in front of Su Li, and he was extremely injured.

"What business?"

Young Master Zhou looked at Su Li with arrogant eyes, Su Li ignored his gaze, and said calmly: "Eleven, go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion to report to the official, the young owner of the Jingnan Garment Shop has raped a woman from a good family." ”

"Yes!"

Eleven turned around and ran, Young Master Zhou stepped forward to grab Eleven, but was blocked by the guards beside Su Li.

"Ahh

Young Master Zhou fell to the ground suddenly, curled up in a ball and rolled on the ground, wailing nonstop.

"The subordinate just stopped him."

The guard whispered, Su Li stared at Young Master Zhou, Young Master Zhou was rolling around, his clothes were messy and gradually revealing the things between his legs, Su Li hadn't seen it clearly, Zhang Wu had already blocked in front of Su Li: "Don't look at it, girl!" ”

As he spoke, Young Master Zhou fainted in pain, this sound alarmed others, the guy in the front yard ran over when he heard the sound, and Boss Zhou, who had never shown up, also walked briskly in a round-necked gown and a bowler hat: "What's the matter?" ”

The strong man who had been kicked by the guards before got up and pointed at Su Li and shouted: "Master, it was they who suddenly broke into the backyard and tried to murder the young master!" ”

"It's not! This girl is here to talk about business! ”

Zhang Wu refuted loudly in front of Su Li, and Boss Zhou walked over, and saw his son fainting on the ground in disheveled clothes, and his face suddenly sank: "Don't help the young master back to the house!" ”

The strong man immediately stepped forward to help Young Master Zhou, but as soon as he took a step, something suddenly fell from Young Master Zhou's body.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by that thing, Zhang Wu forgot to block Su Li because he was too shocked, and Su Li saw at a glance that it was the lifeblood of the young master Zhou who fell to the ground.

When the thing hit the ground, it quickly decomposed, turning into a pool of blood and a faint stench.

Su Li frowned slightly, the strong man was still supporting Young Master Zhou, his face turned pale, and he turned his head to look at Boss Zhou slowly: "Master, young ...... The young master ...... him."

"Why don't you go to the doctor! I'm stunned what to do! ”

Boss Zhou roared angrily, seeing his son's liferoot turn into blood, this kind of impact was also very huge for him.

After yelling, he turned his head to look at Su Li, as if he regarded Su Li as the real murderer of his son, Su Li was not afraid, and said calmly: "Just now, I saw that Young Master Zhou was acting abnormally, and I have already asked someone to notify Jing Zhaoyin to come, if Boss Zhou has any doubts, I can inform Lord Jing Zhaoyin in a while." ”

There is a medical hall next to it, the doctor came soon, and he was shocked to see Young Master Zhou's injuries, and he couldn't say why he came after the diagnosis, Young Master Zhou woke up not long after he fainted, and he howled in pain after waking up, like killing a pig.

Lin Zheng came with such a scream, he was stimulated by Young Master Zhou's scream and his scalp was numb, and he felt even more bizarre when he heard Boss Zhou say that Young Master Zhou's life had turned into a pool of blood.

How can there be such a thing in this world?

"County Lord Su, you happened to be here at the time of the incident, can you tell me what happened at that time?"

Su Li briefly explained the cause and effect, and motioned to the guards to hand over the woman in the sack to Lin Zheng, but heard the guard's voice in some surprise: "My lord, she's dead!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were silent for a moment, and Su Li was the first to react: "Lord Lin, I'm afraid that I have to ask for an autopsy to restore the truth of the matter." ”

Lin Zheng nodded, and asked the body to be carried back to the yamen for an autopsy.

Causing a fatality, and his son was injured like this, Boss Zhou was furious, called the strong man and scolded him, and asked him what was going on.

The strong man knew that he had caused a big disaster, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he poured it all out.

It turns out that this young master Zhou is the old son of Boss Zhou, Boss Zhou spoils him very much on weekdays, and has developed his lazy and lascivious temperament.

The maids in the house are all bad, Lanyue Pavilion is also sealed, he is bored and falls in love with a little lady from a peasant family in the suburbs of the city, the little lady is good-looking, not long after getting married, the husband went to the army to fight, only to live with the elderly blind mother-in-law, and then the young master Zhou accidentally took a fancy to this little lady, so he tried his best to tease people, but the little lady was strong, dead or alive, this week the young master was not as good as the beast caught the blind mother-in-law to blackmail the little lady.

The little lady had no choice but to follow Young Master Zhou, and when Young Master Zhou was interested, he wanted to go to the little lady's house to have a good time with her.

As a result, some time ago, the little lady found out that Young Master Zhou had already pushed his blind mother-in-law into the well and drowned, pretending to be happy with Young Master Zhou, and almost stabbed Young Master Zhou to death with scissors.

Yesterday, Young Master Zhou remembered the taste of the little lady again, so he asked his subordinates to sneak the little lady into the city and fight with the little lady.

This time, the little lady was unusually cooperative, Young Master Zhou was very happy, left the little lady to live for one night, and promised that as long as the little lady was obedient, she would carry the little lady into the house as a concubine, but she didn't know that such a thing happened today.

Boss Zhou almost died of anger when he heard the strong man's words, how could this little beast do such a thing that lost his conscience!

Boss Zhou was trembling with anger, thinking of the change just now, and chanted vigorously: "Retribution!" It's all retribution! ”

Lin Zheng's face was also ugly when he heard it, he was not a young man as an official, but it was the first time he had heard such a thing that made people gnash their teeth.

However, Young Master Zhou will suddenly be like this, it should not be the retribution that Boss Zhou said, but what kind of poison the dead woman gave him.

"Boss Zhou, this case will be investigated by the official as soon as possible, and Young Master Zhou and this domestic servant will be taken back to Jingzhaoyin Prison by the official first."

Lin Zheng said with a straight face, if the matter is finally verified to be true, Young Master Zhou and the strong man will not be able to escape the capital crime.

Boss Zhou closed his eyes in pain, and did not intercede for his son, Su Li's heart moved slightly, and asked, "What is the name of that woman's husband?" ”

The strong man thought carefully for a while and said, "It seems that his name is Sun Yao, and the blind mother-in-law is just one of his sons, pointing at him to glorify his ancestors." ”

Sun Yao.

Su Li pondered the name in her heart, and found that it was not among the three hundred and twenty people she had marked before.

He should still be alive!

Su Li thought about coming out of the ready-to-wear shop, she was in a hurry, thinking about one thing, she didn't notice a person walking in at the door, and ran into it directly.

The man was much taller than her, and she slammed her head on his hard chest, her nose ached, and then her waist was hugged.

"Did it hurt? Why so careless? ”

Chu Huaian asked nervously, raised his hand to help Su Li rub his face, but was slapped away by Su Li's cold face: "Let go!" ”

Chu Huai'an pulled it for a day and a night, and finally begged Yue Yan to prescribe some medicine for him to stop the ejaculation, and went out of the palace to find Su Li non-stop, where would he let it go like this?

"Ah Li, I was wrong, you listen to me...... Not! ”

Chu Huai'an held his right foot in pain, Su Li was still angry, and stepped on his right foot again.

Chu Huai'an's face was pale with pain, his expression was distorted, Su Li pushed him away and walked straight out, turned over and went straight to the Xishan military camp.

The Xishan military camp is the place where the first emperor trained his troops before the whole army, and it has become a temporary station for spring and autumn hunting in recent years, and it is an hour's distance from the city.

When Su Li arrived, everyone was surrounding the school grounds, I don't know if he had given any orders, as soon as he saw the injury on Su Li's face, the soldiers guarding the camp gate let Su Li go, and the onlookers also made way for Su Li.

Su Li walked over and saw eight girls in coarse cotton clothes standing tremblingly in the middle, Lu Ji and Zhao Hu knelt in front of them with five soldiers, the five soldiers were bloodied by whips, Lu Ji and Zhao Hu each held a bloody long whip in their hands, like a ghost like a life-seeking Hades.

"What's going on?"

Chu Huai'an hurried up behind Su Li and asked, Chu Lingzhao had enough material this time, even if he had Yue Yan's prescription, his body was too weak now, and after riding the horse for so long, he couldn't stop panting.

Su Li ignored him, and Lu Ji whipped down again.

This whip used ten percent of its strength, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

Several girls screamed in fright, and several of them fell to the ground and shouted, "I'm not a human, I'm a beast!" ”

Zhao Hu followed with an additional whip: "Be louder, you haven't fucking eaten!" ”

"I'm not a human, I'm a brute!"

Several people shouted as hard as they could, and a girl cried and shouted, "Stop fighting!" General Lu, I won't pursue it, you can spare them! ”

Several girls had never seen such a bloody scene, and they thought that they had the opportunity to cut off the people who had defiled themselves with a thousand knives to relieve their anger, but they really couldn't be ruthless at all at this time.

Lu Ji stiffened his face and didn't speak, Zhao Hu threw the whip aside, took a knife and threw it to the ground, and raised his chin from those people: "Do it, don't let Lao Tzu do it for you!" ”

Zhao Hu's face was full of disdain, and the Zhenbei Army liked to talk about meat jokes, but the one he looked down on the most was this kind of person who couldn't control his trouser belt.

Several girls were frightened by the gangsterism on Zhao Hu's face and took two steps back, and before they understood what he meant, the person kneeling on the edge took a knife and stabbed it into his crotch!

"Ahh

With the screams of several girls, a warm and dry big hand covered Su Li's eyelids: "Don't look! ”
