Chapter 130: Lame Furong
Seeing that Gu Qingyan was just pacing back and forth and did not answer, Baili Mo asked her in a calm voice: "This is your only way?" No other way? ”
Gu Qingyan also said in a low voice: "This is my way to guarantee that I will succeed." ”
"You..."Bai Limo didn't know what to say, he didn't think of any other way in this short period of time, so it was not easy to refute Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan sighed, and could only bite the bullet and say: "Third brother, Tanxue and Situ Haoyang have been in contact a few times, and it can be seen that Tanxue can see Situ Haoyang in his heart..."
Gu Qingyan paused, looked at Bailimo, according to her judgment, her third brother should not like Su Tanxue, so she had the courage to think of this method.
Moreover, according to the current situation, there is a chance that Su Tanxue will end up with Situ Haoyang, and she may at most accelerate in it.
"I know it's not a great idea, but... And if it really happens, the old ghost may not be able to be heavy-handed with Tanxue. ”
"You're not sure when you say it yourself, besides, how do you explain to Hanyan to Qingquan Villa?"
"I promised Hanyan that I wouldn't hurt Tanxue."
"Then you came up with this method again."
"Situ Haoyang needs Tanxue as a host, this is already a given, not to mention that we can't stop it, Tanxue is the one who is willing, there is no reason for me to hurt her, and secondly, if she really becomes a host, Situ Haoyang will not easily take her life even if he is not sincere to her, when the matter is over, she will be saved, and the second brother can save her."
Gu Qingyan was a little emotional when she spoke, maybe she was using her own voice to hide the uneasiness in her heart.
Seeing that her hands were clenched into fists, and she was trembling slightly, her tone eased immediately, this matter is still under discussion, and they can still think of a safe way, so they can't blame Gu Qingyan like that.
He stood up, walked to Gu Qingyan's side, and held Gu Qingyan's arm with both hands: "Girl, don't worry, we can discuss the matter again, I also think of a way, and when Shaolin comes back, we will decide." ”
Gu Qingyan gradually got better under Bai Limo's appeasement, and replied: "Well, it's just that no matter what the last method is, the old ghost can't be robbed from the stone gate." ”
"I know." Bai Limo patted Gu Qingyan's hair, and took her back to her seat to sit, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I still have something to ask you." ”
"What?"
"Interrogate those three people, what you have always wanted to confirm, is it the King of Yijun that Madame talked about?"
Gu Qingyan nodded: "If, according to what my mother said, Twelve and Lao Wu's mother have a close relationship, then it is not impossible for Twelve to avenge Lao Wu." ”
"Is there anything special about this King of Yijun?"
"King Yu once mentioned this person, it was during the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet that provoked my family affairs, but it is said that this person has been doing nothing before, and there is no action, so King Yu and they have always cared too much, after that incident, King Yu has always suspected that someone instigated him."
"So you're also trying to see if you can find some clues?"
"Well, but they were cautious, they came with five people, and they didn't clearly tell these people the ultimate purpose, and now except for the booklet and jade pendant, I'm afraid that the matter will come to an end." Gu Qingyan thought for a while and added, "That's fine, if you have some evidence, the other palace party disputes will be handed over to King Yu to deal with." ”
Baili Mo sighed lightly and said, "Girl, at this moment, I am glad that you are outside the palace, otherwise you are afraid that you will also be a strong enemy with your twists and turns." ”
Listen up
Gu Qingyan smiled helplessly, yes, but even if she grew up outside the palace, she didn't miss these twists and turns. This wry smile, somehow, couldn't be dissipated for a long time.
Not long after talking that day, Gu Qingyan returned to the Pure Heart Courtyard, Holly came back and brought back two news, one good and one bad, the good thing is that Holly confirmed that the booklet was not sent out, and they didn't have anyone to answer, and the bad thing is that the booklet Holly searched for an afternoon and didn't find where it was hidden.
Gu Qingyan asked Holly to go back to Shimen to tell Dong Xuan and Dong Dye to see if they could find out the whereabouts of the booklet, if they didn't ask before dawn, they would go down the mountain to look for it again.
As a result, the interrogation in the torture room that night was one after another, and it was easy to stay up all night to draw the picture of the jade pendant, but the whereabouts of the booklet could not be asked, Holly came to the Pure Heart Courtyard to reply, Gu Qingyan didn't say a word, gave Holly a bottle of medicine, asked them to continue to ask, and notified her of the results, and then took Dong Xin, Dong Yu, and Dong Wei down the mountain to find it.
Fu Ming had already begun to slowly familiarize himself with the affairs of the valley, and on the way to the big warehouse with Nan Ke, he saw Gu Qingyan coming out of the valley with three ghost guards, and came back to tell Bailimo, Bailimo only then knew why Gu Qingyan went, and also thought that she was not in a good mood these days, and she should go out to let the wind go.
Gu Qingyan and Dong Xin, Dong Yu, and Dong Wei came to find it separately, Dong Yu reviewed all the places that Dong Qing had found, and indeed found nothing, Dong Wei began to check the town under the mountain and around the town, Dong Xin and Gu Qingyan went to the outside range to find it, and if anyone found it, they would put a signal to gather.
In the town, the old Yi Nian family added a happy event, and even the wine was delicious, and today I bought wine under the locust tree in the town and just returned to my tavern when I saw Dong Wei not far away, and called him out: "Dong Wei little boy? ”
Dong Wei was checking around, and he heard someone calling him, and when he looked back, it was Lao Yi, so he approached and greeted: "Uncle Yi." ”
"Eh, come on, come on, let me tell you, I just met you, and I thought that I would take some time to go to the valley to bring you wine in the past few days!" Lao Yi smiled, how could he see that Dong Wei was busy now, and he was about to go into the tavern to get wine.
Dong Wei hurriedly grabbed Lao Yi and said, "Uncle Yi, don't, don't yet." ”
"Oh, look at you like this, did the fourth girl send you something? That's fine, you get busy first, and when you're done, remember to come and pick it up. ”
Lao Yi was enthusiastic, Dong Wei couldn't get rid of it, so he responded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and asked Lao Yi: "Eh, Uncle Yi, have you seen any people in the town recently, or people who come and go quickly?" ”
When Lao Yi heard that this question was similar to the question asked by Holly before, he wondered if they were looking for someone, and replied: "Hey, what you asked is similar to what Holly asked the little boy, I really haven't seen any living people recently." ”
Dong Wei had to thank Lao Yi first and ask elsewhere. As soon as he walked on the front foot, the lame Furong in the alley next door to the back foot came, this person was dressed in tatters, and the clothes on his body were easy to recognize, or the king's shopkeeper gave him, and he had stayed in his broken house safely, but he had begun to wander around these days. When I got to a house, I rubbed some food and drink, and I didn't feel ashamed.
"Come here again, eh, don't come close, I'll get you some." Saying that, Lao Yi stopped him outside the tavern, he was like this, so as not to make the guests in the tavern look uncomfortable, and then hurriedly went into the back kitchen to get some food and bring some wine out, and sent people away.
Lao Yi's son Xiao Yi was counting the accounts at the front desk, and he came in after listening to his father's muttering, came to the front desk, and said: "You said this lame Furong, how can you run out so diligently these days, you can see each other once in three days." ”
"Dad, isn't it contradictory that you feel bad while giving people alms to eat?" Xiao Yi quipped.
He really didn't know much about this lame Furong, if he hadn't been able to see it these days, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in the town.
"Your father thinks it's bad because their family didn't do good things before, they were originally a good rich and noble family, but because of their son, that is, that Furong, they were greedy for beauty and robbed the people's daughters, and this unsightly robbery was still the relatives of the lord of the mansion, and the one who committed the crime was beaten into a lame, and the family was also 'robbed' three times and twice, and it became like this."
With a look at Lao Yi, Xiao Yi also understood what the so-called thief was, it was nothing more than that the lord of the government used some private means to let them experience the feeling of being robbed.
"Less than a year after that, the original lady died of depression, and there were only two left, and the old man was no longer there in the past few years, leaving such a son, and the people in our town couldn't bear to see him like this, so they turned a blind eye and allowed him to eat and drink, and save a small life."
"That's why he's been in peace all these years." Xiao Yi Dao.
Not long after this conversation ended, Lao Yi saw his wife and his new daughter-in-law coming back at a panicked trot: "What's wrong?" ”
Xiao Yi also came out from behind the counter and went to greet the lady: "Hua'er, didn't you and your mother go shopping?" "His wife's name is Fanghua, the two of them became relatives not long ago, and Gu Qingyan and they were not in Taohuajian when they got married, so they didn't attend, so Lao Yi prepared several jars of wine, thinking that Dong Wei would take them back.
Fanghua helped her mother-in-law to follow her back and replied: "The concubine and her mother were shopping for things and were walking back, and they met the lame Furong, he.... He kept staring at us with a strange expression, and we hurried back. ”
After Fanghua finished speaking, his face was red from the root of his ears to his neck, and his voice was small, but Xiao Yi heard it clearly, and said angrily: "Fang just said that he was safe!" ”
"Husband." Fanghua hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yi, "It's okay for me to have nothing to do with my mother, and my husband is angry." ”
The guest who was near them heard this and said, "As the old saying goes, this is called indefatigable nature!" ”
With these words, who would have thought that there would really be a next answer, Xiao Yi was afraid of something unpleasant, so he let Fanghua and his mother go into the backyard first.
The next person reminded Xiao Yi: "Brother Xiao Yi, you are newly married, so don't let your sister-in-law and the proprietress go out." ”
"It's just, eh, speaking of which, I thought I was the only one who encountered it?"
"How?" Xiao Yi was curious.
The guest said: "A few days ago, I was passing by the alley next door on an errand, and the lame Furong suddenly appeared, and as soon as I came up, I asked my sister if she was in time this year, but had she ever promised someone?" ”
"I'm afraid I don't like your sister." Someone chimed in.
"Go, shut up." The guest stopped and said, "He didn't say that after a few days, he would have a lot of money, so he would go to my house and hire him, you say, isn't this nonsense?" ”
"And then?" It's not a big deal for the world to want to see the excitement.
The guest clasped his hands to his chest and said bluntly: "I immediately beat him up, made him delusional, and paid a lot of money?" It's okay if he doesn't eat and drink every day! ”
"Eh, wait, if you want to say that, I seem to have heard him mention money or something." At this time, another person answered, and with just a few words, the tavern was lively from table to table.
Originally, everyone was acquaintances, and after talking about it in three or two sentences, and finding a common topic, they surrounded such a person and said a lot of things.
"Don't be joking, just him, how can he still have money, he doesn't work, he eats and waits for death."
"I'm also wondering, but if you don't believe this, you can ask Bu Zhuang Shao, isn't he here? Even the people in the cloth village at that time could testify. ”
"Then what are you talking about?"
"Just two days ago, I went to the cloth village to buy fabrics, and I met him, and he was ashamed to say that he wanted to order a batch of red festive fabrics, and said that he would make new clothes."
"Red? Festive? New clothes? It's two days ago, it wouldn't have been about marrying your sister! ”
"Who promised him!" Suddenly pulled back to the original customer, he was a little annoyed.
"You go on and on."
"At that time, ignoring the surprised eyes of the big guy, he threw down a bag of broken silver, said it was a deposit, and left."
Everyone took a breath of cool air, isn't this true? Then he looked at the young master of the cloth village, and the young master of the cloth village was numb when he saw it, so he could only nod his head, and then said: "Silver, don't be in vain." ”
"Then you're going to sell it to him! This is not to be done. ”
How could the little girl marry such a person at her age, and the girl's brother was even more blue at this time.
Bu Zhuang Shao is busy waving his hands, his own family will have to mix here in the future, and he can't offend a small town for this small profit, it's too much of a loss.
"It's impossible, it's impossible, I'm afraid he can't pay the money for that cloth, it's a big deal to pay him back."
The person who is the elder brother is eager to tear up the lame Furong at this time, he really can't listen to it anymore, he slaps the table and leaves, and plans to go home to let his sister leave the town to avoid the limelight first, and then say, it's really not good, he can ask Taohuajian to help, as long as Taohuajian is willing to accept the lame Furong's life, even if it costs more silver taels, he doesn't care.
The conversation in the tavern did not stop because of his departure, but everyone began to speculate where the lame Furong got the money, Lao Yi thought about it and asked everyone: "You haven't been robbed with your neighbors recently, right?!" ”
"I don't have it at home, I'll have to ask around."
"Me too."
"Me too."
These three times five divided by two, everyone in the tavern paid one after another, and went home to see the situation, for fear that they would not pay attention to it before, and they would not know if they were robbed.
When everyone dispersed, the father and son cleaned up the tavern, and Xiao Yi asked: "So the lame Furong is indeed different recently." ”
Lao Yi nodded, thinking about the safety of the town, he said: "I just saw the little boy Dong Wei, it's really not good, I'll look for him again, ask him for a favor, and go to see the lame Furong at night." ”
"Dad, you can rest, I'll just go find it."
"Well, then there you go."
After speaking, Xiao Yi left the tavern and went to find Dong Wei's traces.
Dong Wei came out of Lao Yi at that time, thinking that there were many people in the town during the day, and it was not easy to investigate, so he went around first, but he didn't get any results, and when he saw that the time was almost gone, he went back to the town.
Before he returned to the entrance of the town, he saw Xiao Yi wandering there, watching him pacing around, looking anxious, Dong Wei hurriedly stepped forward: "Xiao Yi, is something wrong?" ”
Xiao Yi heard the sound and looked at it, and saw Dong Wei coming to him, and was overjoyed: "Little boy Dong Wei, I still think that I can't find you again, do I have to go to the valley to find it." ”
"It's okay, don't rush, you speak slowly."
"Come back to the tavern with me, let's be more detailed."
"Okay." Dong Wei followed Xiao Yi back to the tavern, and Lao Yi told Dong Wei everything about the tavern during the day, and the perennial vigilance made Dong Wei feel that things should not be so simple, so he should go to investigate tonight.
After all, there is nothing to do with the matter in his hands for the time being, and at the end of this day, there is no signal from his master, Dong Xin and Dong Yu, and it is estimated that they will have no result.
