In the Yongxing Fang in the west of Qingzhou Mansion, white silk hangs horizontally on the gate of Zhao's Mansion, and a newly built mourning hall in the mansion makes the originally deserted mansion appear gloomy, and none of the servants are gone, only a middle-aged woman with a four- or five-year-old doll kneeling in the mourning hall and bowing her head and sobbing.

"Mrs. Zhao mourns, Zhao Sicang's sudden death is really regrettable, Lord Yin Liu is busy with official business, and he came to mourn under the order of Lord Yin, this hundred yuan is a little thought of Lord Liu, and I ask Mrs. Zhao to accept it."

"Thank you, Liu joins the army!" The middle-aged woman raised her head, and after thanking the person who came to pay her filial piety, she bowed her head and said nothing.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't want to say more, the person known as Liu Senjun stood on the spot and pondered for a while, and said: "Mrs. Zhao's 100 yuan is enough for your orphans and widows to live in Qingzhou if you save a little money, but after all, you are a woman's family, and you have a young child, guarding this family business, if no one takes care of you, I'm afraid that someone will beat your idea of this business, don't you plan for the future and this child?" ”

"Liu Senjun, what do you mean by this?" The woman looked up again and asked, puzzled.

Liu Shenjun replied lightly: "I don't mean anything else, I just reminded Mrs. for the sake of Zhao Sicang's colleagues, Lord Fu Yin has done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and there are some things that you keep useless but will cause trouble, it is better to hand them over, you hand over the things, I can ensure the safety of your mother and son for a lifetime." ”

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, the scene before her husband's death instantly appeared in her mind:

"Mei Niang, although you are a concubine, Madame treats you like a sister and has never bullied you; And since the death of my wife, how have you been treated as a husband? ”

"The husband treats the slave with great grace."

"It's good that you know, now that the husband is in trouble, he knows that he can't avoid it. Although Ming'er is not your biological child, he is the bloodline of my Zhao family after all, and the child is still young and has not experienced wind and rain! If there is anything wrong with me, I ask Mei Niang to treat Ming'er as her own and take care of him as an adult. ”

"What's wrong with my husband? Why are you saying such things all of a sudden? ”

"Don't ask more, knowing more is not good for you, you have to be careful to keep this account book, this is the talisman of your mother and son in the future, if someone from Qingzhou Mansion comes to ask you, pretend not to know, don't hand it over, hand it over, your mother and son will definitely die." In case something happens to me, when Ming'er grows up, he can go to Chang'an Yushitai to redress my grievances with the account book. ”

Zhao Meiniang never believed that the husband who said that the husband died of a sudden illness, there must be another hidden story, the servant died overnight, and now Qingzhou Record Liu Senjun's words are obviously aimed at the account book, although I don't understand the reason, but Mei Niang concluded that her husband's death must be inseparable from this account book, she pretended to be stupid and asked: "What did Liu Senjun say?" The little woman doesn't understand! ”

Liu Senjun's face sank when he heard this, and he asked sharply, "Don't understand?" All right! Let me ask you, didn't Zhao Mingcheng give you anything before he died? ”

Mei Niang hugged the child next to her and asked, "My husband died suddenly in the office, how can he come back and hand me something?" ”

After all, Zhao Mingcheng is a six-pin Sicang, Liu Senjun didn't want to come to Zhao's house to search with great fanfare, but this Mei Niang gritted her teeth and denied it, and Liu Senjun couldn't help but get angry. Liu Shenjun's original name is Liu Fuping, he is the cousin of Liu Fu'an, the assassin of Qingzhou, and he participates in everything his cousin does, but the account book is related to the life and death of the Liu family, in case it spreads, the consequences are unimaginable, he has secretly made up his mind, if he can't find it, simply, don't do it endlessly, and turn the Zhao family and the mother and son into ashes with a fire, and he will be a hundred.

Just as Liu Fuping was about to beckon his subordinates to come in, there was a noise outside the door.

"Who?"

"Yuanshan Liaodong Military Account History Wu Tan asked to see Zhao Mingcheng, Zhao Sicang."

"Liaodong Military Account History?" Liu Fuping was stunned when he heard this, how could this Liaodong army come to Qingzhou from Anton, and what is the relationship between him and Zhao Mingcheng? Although he still doesn't pay attention to a small eight-grade account history, but Anton mostly protects Xue Rengui, he can't afford to offend, afraid that Xue Rengui will have a connection with Zhao Mingcheng, Liu Fuping resisted the idea of searching the house and setting fire, and said to Mrs. Zhao "It's good to do it yourself" and then went out of the mourning hall.

When he arrived in the courtyard, Liu Fuping saw a young man of twenty-five or sixteen walking in through the gate with six or seven followers on the opposite side. Liu Fuping politely hugged his fist, and the person who came also returned the salute with a fist, and the two made a mistake without talking.

Out of the Zhao Mansion, Liu Fuping left a few people to watch, and he hurriedly went to the Assassin Mansion to find his cousin Liu Fuan.

Wu Tan inquired all the way to find Qingzhou Zhao Mingcheng's house, to the gate to see, dressed in linen and filial piety, here is clearly a funeral, the strange thing is that there is no one at the door to pick up guests but a few people with knives and sticks are guarding, he is looking for his sister heartily, but also take care of the details and rules, and break in with a report.

"Zhao Mingcheng's position" When he saw Zhao Mingcheng's tablet in the mourning hall, Wu Tan, who entered the door, chuckled in his heart, Zhao Mingcheng died? How could he have died? Didn't his subordinates say that he did a good job as a clerk? When he died, who did he ask for his sister's whereabouts?

"How did Zhao Mingcheng die?" Wu Tan was in a hurry, and blurted out a very rude question.

Zhao Meiniang was worried about Liu Fuping's words, and Wu Tan's impolite question made her very angry and said coldly: "If you worship your deceased husband, please put incense on the pillar, and if you do other things, forgive me for not being able to receive this orphan and widow." ”

Wu Tan was anxious, and he didn't care about the woman's cold words, and hurriedly asked, "Is there a woman named Wu Mei in your house?" After speaking, I was afraid that it was not clear enough, so I hurriedly added, "Yanzhou people, in their thirties." ”

Mei Niang was shocked when she heard this, since she married Zhao Mingcheng, she changed her surname to Zhao with her husband, Wu Mei's name has not been called for a long time, isn't it that she didn't have the name before she got married! If this person doesn't mention himself, he has to forget that he is Yanzhou's hometown, and his parents and younger brother don't know that they are still alive? Thinking of her family, Zhao Meiniang was a little distracted.......

Wu Tan saw that the woman had not spoken for a long time, and then he thought that his words were a little rude, he thought that the woman was angry, so he hurriedly turned around and saluted, and asked slowly: "Don't blame this lady, she is looking for her relatives, and please forgive me for her rude words in a hurry." After speaking, he looked up at the woman, and Wu Tan was stunned at a glance.

This woman's appearance is somewhat similar to her sister, and her mother was like a sister twenty years ago, Wu Tan's hand trembled slightly, reached into his arms and pinched the air-dried cake, and asked subconsciously in his mouth: "I don't know what Mrs. is?" ”

Mei Niang didn't answer, and the doll next to her hurriedly replied: "My aunt's surname is Zhao." ”

When Wu Tan heard this, his heart was suddenly extremely lost, and the hand that was stretched into his arms slowly pulled out.

"Who are you...... Look for...... Wu Mei ...... Why? Mei Niang looked at the young man in front of her, and her voice trembled a little.

"In Xia Wutan, Wu Mei is the sister, I came to recognize my relatives, does this lady know Wu Mei's whereabouts?" Wu Tan asked anxiously.

"Brother! …… You really ...... brother," Mei Niang suddenly exclaimed.

"Sister? …… You are...... Sister" Mei Niang's sudden gaffe made Wu Tan not believe it for a while, and after he asked a few questions, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and knelt down in front of Mei Niang, "Sister...... I finally found you......" said and took out the dry biscuit from his arms, "Sister...... You see...... Cakes, cakes...... My brother didn't eat it and kept it! ”

Seeing the dried cake in Wu Tan's hand, Wu Mei was even more convinced that the young man in front of her was her younger brother who she hadn't seen for many years, and she couldn't help but hug Wu Tan and cry bitterly.

Seeing this scene, the entourage behind Wu Tan hurriedly took out some snacks from his arms and shouted to the doll behind Mei Niang: "Master, go out with me to eat something delicious and let your aunt talk to your uncle?" ”

Mei Niang also wiped her tears and said to the doll: "Ming'er is good, go out to play with a few uncles first, and my mother and uncle will say a few ......words alone." )
