Volume 1 Origin Chapter 360 The Great Hidden in the City
Protectorate Mansion
Lin Yuanxiu sat down and drank a cup of tea, and Mama Zhou hurriedly walked through the flower hall, and walked in front of Lin Yuanxiu, snorting and panting.
"On fire?" Lin Yuanxiu helped Xiao Hongmei carry things for a long time, and finally got a set of red pomegranate jewelry, she looked at it twice, this jewelry is fine, and the fine rubies are inlaid on it, like pomegranate seeds, but it is too gorgeous, but it is suitable for younger girls to wear, Lin Yuanxiu has the bottom in her heart, and wants to come to Xiao Hongmei to borrow her hand to give the sugar pill.
Mama Zhou held her 'bang' chest and said with an anxious face: "Madam, there was news from the young master from the concierge just now, saying that the girl of the Zhou family had something to do outside the city. ”
Lin Yuanxiu rubbed the ruby on the hairpin with his fingers, and his eyes were half puzzled: "Tell me more details." ”
Mama Zhou swallowed her saliva, flattened her breath and said: "Madam, do you know that Mrs. Yan's niece was sent to Zhuangzi earlier, and somehow I heard that the young master was going to marry Miss Zhou, so she actually sneaked out of Zhuangzi, and got some poisonous powder, which stopped Miss Zhou on the way out of the city and into the incense, causing Miss Zhou to be disfigured!" ”
"What!" Lin Yuanxiu's pupils trembled, and his body stood up involuntarily, "You mean Fang Xin hurt Zhou Qinzhu?" ”
Mama Zhou clasped her hands and turned anxiously: "That's not the case, madam, you say...... This is a bony eye. ”
Lin Yuanxiu threw down the jewelry for Mama Zhou to put away, tidied up her clothes and walked out in a hurry: "I'll take a look, if Chu Feng comes back, ask her to go to Yanfu to find me." ”
Lin Yuanxiu already had a plan in her heart, but she didn't want this kind of thing to happen in the middle of the middle, her often smiling face turned cold, and a layer of dark clouds spread in her eyes. Lin Yuanxiu was just giggling on the surface, looking indifferent to anything, as a person who had come over, how could she not see that Fang Xin was interested in Chu Feng, but she felt that Fang Xin was not suitable for Chu Feng, and Chu Feng didn't have any ideas, so she pretended to be deaf and dumb, and pretended not to know.
Lin Yuanxiu had persuaded Xiao Hongmei before, Fang Xin had grown up and was ambitious, it was better to find a family to marry out and worry about it, in the end it was not biological, it was enough to take care of it, Xiao Hongmei had also found many personal homes in the past two years, but Fang Xin was always reluctant, so she delayed.
Until the accident and Fang Xin was sent to Zhuangzi, Xiao Hongmei was disheartened, but she always remembered the sisterhood with Fang Xin's mother, where did they think that there would be this stubble.
However, Lin Yuanxiu had just left the gate, and a carriage hurriedly drove over, the reins were pulled, the horse's neck was raised high, and the horse's hooves suddenly stopped in front of her.
The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Xiao Hongmei's dignified and delicate face, with a little darkness in her eyes at the moment, and shouted to Lin Yuanxiu: "Come up." ”
Lin Yuanxiu stepped on the carriage, jumped into the carriage easily, sat down next to the chair with his buttocks, and hurriedly said, "You have also heard?" ”
Xiao Hongmei's face was strangely solemn, and she nodded: "I really didn't expect when she became so vicious and vicious, I knew that I shouldn't have any scruples about relatives, and it was not today's matter to send her to the government to investigate." ”
"Okay, what's the use of these afterthoughts." Lin Yuanxiu glanced at her, pouted and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, you have watched her grow up since childhood, and it is not the roundworm in her stomach, how can you know what she thinks?" ”
Xiao Hongmei was worried, her fingers curled up and clenched into a fist and put it on the low table, "Xiuxiu, I knew that Fang Xin had a special friendship with Chu Feng before, but I always felt that there was not much truth in the fight between children, but we were negligent, and she made a wrong step, a wrong step, causing today's irreparable situation." ”
Lin Yuanxiu let out a long sigh, flattened his palm on Xiao Hongmei's fist, and said, "If you want to say that, you have to blame our kid, in short, the two women are blind, and they just look at this stinky boy, and I don't see anything good." ”
Xiao Hongmei glanced at Lin Yuanxiu speechlessly, and said disgusted words in her mouth, but what was the pride in her tone, "What do you say now?" "For the Zhou family, the two families have to give an explanation.
Lin Yuanxiu clapped his hands, spread out, slumped his shoulders and said, "Okay, you wash up and get ready to drink the happy bar." ”
Xiao Hongmei asked her to make trouble, and the depression in her heart dissipated in an instant, and she pursed her lips and scolded with a smile: "Death is not serious." ”
"So what else? Didn't the Zhou family just want to marry their daughter into our Protectorate Mansion, originally I had the idea to ask Mrs. Tuesday to retreat by herself, and let Fang Xin make such a fuss, I think I have to marry if I don't marry, otherwise how will the people in the capital think of our Chu family in the future. Lin Yuanxiu thought clearly, if Mrs. Tuesday knew that Zhou Qinzhu was disfigured because of Chu Feng, and the Chu family didn't come up with an explanation, even if she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, she would have to talk about the whole capital, and the people in the capital knew that the words were terrible, and their Chu family was the target on the tip of the knife.
Thinking of Fang Xin, Xiao Hongmei's brows twisted, and the only little affection left finally made her go, benevolence and righteousness were exhausted, Xiao Hongmei was worthy of Fang Xin's parents, "We have to give an explanation to the Zhou family, Chu Feng will marry or not, I will definitely send Fang Xin to the official for investigation this time." ”
Lin Yuanxiu glanced at Xiao Hongmei, whose face was tense, and patted her shoulder to comfort her silently. After all, she is a child who has been brought up since she was a child, how can the relationship of so many years be really thrown away overnight, but Xiao Hongmei looks at Wen Wan and is actually stubborn, she can forgive Fang Xin once, but again and again, Fang Xin has touched her bottom line, besides, she was her own person before, and this time she is an outsider, if she is let go again, I don't know how many people Fang Xin will hurt later. I love eBooks
As soon as you enter the small courtyard in the shape of 'mouth', the gatehouse in front is surrounded by a fence, and near the door is a small vegetable patch, but it is not a vegetable that is planted in it, but a variety of colorful flowers.
Rong Ruo squatted there and watched for a long time, Caidie leaned over and curiously stretched out her hand to touch the flowers: "Girl, what kind of flowers are these, strange and beautiful." ”
"Don't move." Rong Ruo stopped the butterfly before it touched the flower, explaining, "This is not an ordinary flower, it is all poisonous. ”
"Huh?" Caidie withdrew her fingers and said, "No wonder it's still open at this time, but the owner of this house is definitely not a good person." "What normal person doesn't grow vegetables and poisonous flowers at the door.
Rong Ruo studied it with interest for a long time, and said with half-squinted eyes: "The people in this house ran away?" "Don't talk about these poisonous flowers, they are all rare, for example, the big flower is the main ingredient for making anesthetics, and there is another one that can be used as a strong version of the psyche, hallucination, and medicine......
Caidie nodded: "Yes, we caught a snakehead, according to him, the abducted women were all sent here, but when I found here, everyone was gone, and it seemed that I had been gone for two or three days." ”
"That's the ownerless?" Rong Ruo grinned, snapped his fingers, and pointed to the ground: "Fengwu, find a way to move this piece of land back to ask Juyuan." ”
Feng Wu, who came out of it with Mu Beichen: "......" What did he do, what did he do. Why him again?
Rong Ruo, who consciously made a lot of money, clapped her hands with satisfaction, she couldn't get rid of a little mud on her hands, she picked it with her fingers, and asked, "How is it?" ”
"According to the traces of life, there were at least seven or eight people living together before, and most of them were women." Feng Wu and Mu Beichen checked all three rooms, and basically the situation was almost the same, "There are a lot of rouge gouache left on the ground, and there are still some small things such as beads falling from jewelry in the cracks of one of the rooms." ”
Rong Ruo pinched his chin with his fingers and showed a pensive expression: "So it is very likely that this is a den of human traffickers?" ”
Caidie's fingers wrapped around her hair, and her beautiful eyes evoked a charming style: "Stinky men think too much about their lower bodies, so they can't help but do the business of abducting and selling girls, and when I catch those people, I will kill him first." ”
The corners of Feng Wu's mouth twitched, and this sentence made Caidie say it in a delicate tone, why was she so panicked, "There are also a lot of residents next to them, and if they put people here, no one will be suspicious?" ”
The courtyard is not a secluded place, but rather a row of houses that are staggered, making it a fairly densely populated neighborhood.
Mu Beichen's cold eyes swept around lightly, and he said with his hand: "It's hidden in the city." ”
Rong Ruo looked back and forth, left and right, walked to the back corner door of the courtyard, pushed open the wooden door, pointed outside, and said: "You see, the back street here is backed by the wall, if you send people in a carriage, who will find out." "The long streets are silent and deserted in winter, because behind the houses, people rarely pass by, and a lot of domestic waste items are thrown here, including leftover vegetables, soups, vegetables and fruits, and broken stools and tables, and occasionally a large object standing on the wall, which can block most of the view.
Caidie blew on the fingers of her curly hair, her eyes fluttering with spring waves, "That's right, and the residents on both sides happen to be in business, it's common to go out early and return late, and it is possible that they won't come back for more than half a month, there are only women and children at home, even if they hear something at night, they won't come out to check." ”
The four of them returned to the front yard, and found nothing but that this was a temporary settlement for human trafficking, and could only hope that the people secretly sent by Caidie could trace the clues of these traffickers.
"It seems that Aunt Wang's niece can't be found." Rong Ruo sighed, it is impossible for the girl who has been handed over by human traffickers to stay for a long time, so naturally the shorter the shot, the safer it will be for them.
"What does it smell, it stinks." Caidie slapped her nose, "Strange, it's gone again." ”
Rong Ruo saw her standing next to a poisonous flower, raised her hand and pointed: "It should be the smell it emits, you stay away, you may be paralyzed by it if you smell too much." ”
Caidie blinked: "Can flowers still numb people?" ”
"That's nature, when it catches food around it that can be hunted, the stamen will secrete a poisonous taste, and when the taste is dispersed into the air, once the prey accidentally inhales too much, it may lead to paralysis of the nervous system, which becomes its food." A few people walked out, and Rong Ruo briefly popularized the knowledge of Caidie.
Standing next to the horses, Rong Ruo raised his eyebrows at Mu Beichen: "Lord Wang, it's time for you to enter the palace." ”
