Chapter 258: The Black House
With the silver dots, the old woman knows what to say, and if she doesn't know, she has to even guess and arrange things to perfection.
Or there is a difference between men and women, and everyone's vision is different.
In the eyes of this old woman, the fourth lady of the Dou family is too weak: "...... has an aunt who loves her like this, an aunt who supports her like this, what else is there to be afraid of! If I had gone to Kyoto to squeeze the Wang family back, I was still waiting for the Wang family to put that wife in Kyoto! Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sigh, and her tone revealed a little sympathy, "However, I don't blame the fourth lady of the Dou family, they grew up reading "The Female Commandment", and they pay attention to the rules in dealing with people, and they can't help but be too soft. It's the fifteenth wife of the Lang family, I have also met a few times when I was a girl, a delicate and gentle beauty, I am afraid of loud voices when I speak, and I am afraid of stepping on the ants when I walk, but after more than ten years of hard work, I not only presided over the middle feed of the Lang family, but also began to meddle in the affairs of the Lang family, and became a heroine who can walk on her shoulders, not to mention, but also hold a grudge against the Pang family. She said, with a hint of schadenfreude on her face.
This old woman is as mean as she looks, but she never said that the fourth lady of the Dou family is nothing.
Dou Qizhong couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked the fifteenth wife of the Lang family: "...... Who is it? ”
The old woman smiled, her smile seemed a little excited, and she danced the dispute between the Dou family, the Zhu family, and the Pang family, and said it with emotion, and finally said: "How can the fifteenth wife of the Lang family not hate the Pang family?" If it weren't for the Pang family, she would have been the seventh grandmother of the Dou family, Mrs. Jinshi! ”
Tao Chong had a headache when he heard it, and when he saw that this old woman was talking nonsense for granted, he couldn't help but say: "The fifteenth wife of the Lang family is just a woman's family. There is a father-in-law and a husband-in-law, even if he can meddle in the general affairs, at most he just looks at the account books, how can he be bought and sold by bad people? ”
The old woman thought of those pieces of broken silver, afraid that she would answer incorrectly and be asked back, and when she heard the words, she suddenly became anxious and said, "Look at you, you know that you are a scholar." I don't know about this business. Our Zhending Mansion, except for a small grocery store like me, which is slightly neat, most of them are the Dou family's business. The Lang family wanted to rob the Pang family's business, and the people of the Dou family watched silently. Who would dare to wade into this troubled water? If you want to say that you are helping the Pang family to get out of the way, even if you see it, you don't dare to say a word - if you provoke the Dou family, you will not really live in the future! ”
I didn't expect the Dou family to be so arrogant.
Pottery Chong couldn't help frowning.
The old woman looked at it and was very unhappy.
I will tell you what you ask, what you should say and what you shouldn't say. If you are not satisfied, do you still want to use this as an excuse to get the money back?
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth. She glanced at the young man who was sitting on the front steps of her door and selling pears with a basket, motioned for him to help her look at the shop, and said "I'm going to the thatched house" with the pottery, and went to the backyard with a smoke.
The pottery saw that what the old woman said was very different from what she had guessed. I was not interested, and I laughed dryly for a long time. I didn't see the old woman who came out to refill the tea, so she simply lost a few coppers, walked out of the grocery store with her entourage, and settled down in an inn in Zhending.
In the next few days, he asked several people one after another, and the answers he got were all the same.
He couldn't help but look a little dazed.
The attendant also said worriedly: "Sir, if what those people say is true, what should we do?" ”
This marriage, but his pottery is the thread and bridge he built from it!
How he persuaded the British Duke at that time, he still remembered it clearly.
After he went back, how could he explain to Grandpa Guo?
Pottery smiled bitterly.
There was a knock.
The attendant went and opened the door.
It's a boy who sells pears.
Who still has the heart to eat pears at this time!
The entourage was about to drive people, but the pottery was heavy but sharp-eyed, and he recognized it as the young man who sold pears in front of the old woman's door a few days ago, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the entourage, and asked the young man: "What is the matter with you?" ”
The young man who sold pears smiled and said, "Mrs. Yu said that if you send a letter, you can pay ten yuan." ”
The pottery bowed heavily to the entourage, and the entourage took ten cents and handed it to the young man who sold the pear, and the young man who sold the pear smiled and said: "Mrs. Yu said, let you go to her quickly, she has something important to tell you!" With that, he ran away.
The retinue looked at the pottery heavy.
The pottery thought about it again and said, "Let's go, let's see what kind of medicine is sold in this mother-in-law's gourd!" "It's just that I want to make money for a few of his people, as long as the things he says are useful, and he can spend some money.
The attendant answered, and accompanied the pottery to the old woman's grocery store.
When they crossed the passenger line to the long alley where the grocery store must pass, someone suddenly shouted "Mr. Tao" behind them.
The pottery turned his head again, but before he could see the person clearly, there was a huge pain in the back of his head, his eyes turned black, and his whole body fell weakly.
At the moment of falling, he was like a mirror in his heart, knowing that he had been beaten with a black stick and fallen into someone else's trap.
I'm afraid that this time it's more than lucky!
I didn't expect that I would capsize in the ditch and die here.
Britain is far away in Kyoto, and when he knows that he is gone, he will probably turn into a pile of dirt.
A deep sense of unwillingness wells up in the center of gravity of the pottery...... Lost consciousness.
※※※※※
I don't know how long it took for the pottery to come to his senses again.
There was ink in front of me, my brain was buzzing, and I was throbbing and aching.
He did not dare to move, and lay quietly for a long time, gradually adapting to the darkness, only to find that he seemed to be locked in a room, and that there seemed to be straw under him, and the smell of rotten musty was disgusting.
As soon as the thought moves, the person seems to be unable to stand it, and he will vomit.
But he saw a raised black shadow next to him, as if something was lying beside him.
He was chilled.
After watching for a long time, the black shadow slowly moved, letting out a painful moan.
Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps outside, mixed with the man's impatient whispering: "Why are these two still alive?" I'll take a look at the knife and forget it, so that we don't have to stay here all day and can't move! Always pay attention to whether the two of them wake up......"
"I'll have to wait for Mr. Chen to come back." Someone smiled and replied, "Otherwise, why bother." ”
As he spoke, there was a clang, and two tall burly figures appeared at the door against the light.
The pottery hurriedly closed his eyes. Holding his breath, he feigned a coma.
The two figures walked up to the wriggling black shadow, and one of them kicked the black shadow with his foot and said, "Lao Lin, this guy is about to wake up, what should I do?" ”
"Give him another blow to the head." Another person said disapprerovingly, "Mr. Chen will be able to rush back early tomorrow morning, and after the torture to extract a confession, he will bury it in the back garden and use the flowers of Miss Fourth as flowers." As long as you can still catch your breath. ”
The man let out an "oh", turned around and found a stick and pointed it at the black shadow.
The black shadow lay there silently.
"You're not going to kill someone, are you?" The other person was worried, and then comforted the beater, "But it doesn't matter, he's just an entourage." As long as his master doesn't die. Then he said to the man, "Let's go, there are some times when there are no people here, and the fourth lady said that if the place where the dead are not ventilated for a long time, after a long time, there will be miasma." People get sick when they smell it......"
With a clang, the door closed again, and the room was darkened, but the pottery was so frightened that he sat up suddenly.
Dizzy. The words "Attendant", "Mr. Chen", "Fourth Miss", "No one has been locked up for some days", "Where the dead are dead" and other words flashed in his mind, and he immediately realized his situation.
Pottery Shiver involuntarily.
The fourth lady of the Dou family is not a docile country girl, but a female devil who kills people without blinking!
He had to get away before that Mr. Chen came back!
My life is uncertain!
The pottery couldn't bear the stars in his eyes, and gently nudged his entourage. Whispering his name.
The black shadow groaned and was about to wake up. But he was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly covered the mouth of his attendant, and whispered his reputation in the ear of the attendant.
The attendant came to his senses in a daze, letting out a whimper.
Pottery hurriedly said, "Don't speak. After a moment, he let go of the hand that was holding his entourage.
The retinue had woken up.
He took a deep breath and muttered, "Where is this?" ”
"Maybe it's in the basement of the Dou family." The pottery heavy voice was low, and he told his entourage about his judgment, "We inquired about the fourth miss of the Dou family, and the people of the fourth miss of the Dou family knew about it, and we were arrested here, and we will be tortured to extract a confession when a person called "Mr. Chen" comes back early tomorrow morning...... We've got to find a way to get out...... You wipe if you can still move...... They certainly didn't expect you to be superb...... This is the only ...... we can hope for."
The attendant moved his hands and feet silently, felt that there was no big problem, and stood up.
The pottery let out a long sigh.
This retinue was given to him by the British duke, which is why he dared to bring only this retinue to the real fate.
But he still miscalculated the influence of the Dou family in Zhending.
If they can get away with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the Dou family, right?
The only way to do this is to ask for help from the nearest health center.
He couldn't help but touch his waist.
The small seal that can prove his relationship with the British public is still there.
These men relied on the strength of the people, and they were on their own territory, and they acted very roughly, and they did not even search his body.
This gave the pottery a sudden rekindle of hope.
The attendant who was groping around the wall also let out a low cry: "Sir, this is a stone room, the door is on this side, but it is made of iron......"
Tao thought back to the light that came in when he opened the door just now, and said: "You take care of your injuries, and in three more hours, it will be completely dark, and when the time comes, I will lie on the ground and pretend to moan, and you will hide outside the door and try to knock down that big man." Although there are many loopholes, except for this method, there is no way for us to get out of danger as soon as possible, so we can only risk death! ”
The attendant answered, and the two men waited in the dark for almost three hours, and the pottery began to moan loudly.
