Chapter 106: Yuan Wufu
Da Zhuang saw the expressions of the merchant and Yun Geng Geng Si Linche, for fear that the city wall would catch fire and affect the pond fish, so he said in a round way: "What, since you have come, come to my house for dinner and then leave."
Yun Genggen saw the smile that Da Zhuang didn't dare to offend on both sides, his heart was a little complicated, and he subconsciously looked at Si Linche. The latter naturally met her gaze and bowed his head slightly.
"Then there will be labor." Si Linche said with a smile.
Yun Genggen calmed down, knowing that this matter could not be explained in a few words, and he couldn't rush at this time, so he had to nod and walk slowly behind Da Zhuang. I was afraid that the merchant would take the opportunity to escape, so he and Da Zhuang, the merchant and the two opened a distance not far away, always paying attention to the ahead.
Si Linche lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, gently pulled Yun Genggeng, and said in a low voice: "That merchant is a little familiar."
Yun Genggen didn't understand the Si family, and he couldn't see it, so he asked, "Is it Si Wenyuan's side?"
"I can't remember exactly, but I must have seen it in the Mansion." Si Linche frowned slightly.
By this time the moon had risen, and it was long past the time for dinner. A few farmers who had rested early had locked their doors and slept, and there were few human figures on the road, except for a few barking dogs from far and near.
"Well, you guys wait a minute."
"I won't do anything good, Yun girl, don't dislike my craft."
Da Zhuang didn't have time to change his dirty clothes, so he ran to the kitchen to light the fire and cook. Only the merchant was left, Si Linche and Yun Genggeng sat in the courtyard, the moon shadow was mottled, and they each had their own thoughts.
Yun Genggen felt thirsty and wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he suddenly saw Si Linche on the side open his half-closed eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Pour water!"
Yun Genggen was startled, and after realizing that he didn't mean it to himself, he quickly withdrew his hand and looked at the merchant sitting on the side.
The merchant sat upright and was drunk, looking at Si Linche a little inexplicably.
Si Linche raised his eyebrows, no longer as soft as before, his narrow eyes narrowed dangerously, and the indifference in his eyes seemed to be replaced by the arrogant crescent moon with a strong killing intent. The black hair was messy in the wind, like a beast ready to attack.
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear?" Si Linche sneered and said.
The merchant was stunned by his eyes, and his words were filled with a burst of emptiness: "I, I am not your slave, why should I pour water for you and listen to you!" I don't have anything to do with you, you said I'm going to do it? Don't you have hands yourself? ”
"Heh," Si Linche smiled even colder, and with a flick of his sleeves, Yun Genggen even felt that he would be able to form frost in the next moment: "When serving the Si family, you must be equal, didn't anyone teach you when you entered the mansion?"
"Or are you used to following Si Wenyuan, thinking that you are also superior? I don't look at what I am. ”
Yun Genggen only then understood that Si Linche wanted to use words to blow up the merchant, as long as it was confirmed that the merchant was Si Wenyuan's person, then the matter would be much easier.
If you find out the people in the shadows, you will be in the shadows.
Sure enough, when he saw the merchant, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Si Linche with fear in his eyes.
The merchant's face turned pale, but he didn't forget to justify: "What Si Wenyuan, what Si family, I haven't heard of it, I don't understand what you're talking about, don't think that it's great if you're a son!"
"Don't you understand?" Si Linche lifted the teacup and opened his hand lightly, only to hear a snap, and the white was torn apart in the dark night. The merchant noticed his movements, his eyelids jumped, and he didn't dare to speak.
"What are you for? Let me guess," Si Linche turned his head away, "It's nothing more than money."
The merchant's face froze, this Si Linche seemed to be able to peek into people's hearts, and every word was fine, so that he could not avoid it.
"You should know who I am, Da Ya Nei Si Lin Che."
"Although I won't do anything to your life, in the mansion, I can still dismiss a little servant," Si Linche said in a deep and light voice: "I can also speak to the dignitaries and nobles in the city, as long as I say a word, no one will dare to ask you again." Do you think Si Wenyuan will offend everyone and me for just one of you?
You should marry and have children, but what will you do with your wife and children? Maybe there is an old mother at home, the road is bumpy, what should she do? Can you stand it on the road? It's just that your wife and children are suffering, and the elders who gave birth to you and raised you have to accompany you to suffer, do you still have half the face?
Before Si Linche finished speaking, a cold sweat had already broken out on the merchant's forehead. He raised his head and met Si Linche's gaze, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly got up and knelt straight on the ground.
"In the big ya, the small ones know their mistakes." The merchant only felt that there was an extremely terrifying demon sitting in front of him, and he couldn't help but tremble.
"Say."
"My lord, the little natal Yuan Wufu is indeed ...... It is indeed Si Wenyuan's servant. ”
"A few days ago, he gave a small sum of money to let the little one pretend to be a merchant to come here, and he also told him to keep his identity secret...... I deceived the adults. ”
Yuan Wufu kowtowed twice on the ground, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and he was about to say more, when he suddenly saw Da Zhuang coming out of the kitchen with a pot of porridge. I happened to see such a strange scene, and I stood in place in surprise, and I was afraid that I would be implicated, and I was a little overwhelmed.
"Yun girl, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Genggeng stood up at this time, helped Da Zhuang put away the dishes and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Da Zhuang, this merchant was originally a servant of the Dayanei family, and he didn't recognize it for a while just now, and now he is apologizing to Dayanei."
Si Linche also turned around, bowed, and said loudly: "He is still in a hurry to go back to receive his salary, so he won't bother much, and he will leave today."
"That's also done, I'll send you to the entrance of the village, the road is not easy to walk at night, you have to be careful." Da Zhuang wiped his hands and said.
Da Zhuang went to the house to pick up the merchant and came back, and saw that Yuan Wufu was so frightened that his hands and feet were a little uneasy, so he picked it on his shoulders and walked to the entrance of the village before taking it down and returning it to Yuan Wufu.
Yuan Wufu knew that Da Zhuang was not a bad-hearted person, but a simple country man, and he didn't help a lot when he came by himself. He took out two jars of salt from the merchant's load and handed them to Da Zhuang.
"Thank you very much." Da Zhuang was honest and said with a smile.
"I'll come back often."
Yun Genggen saw this scene in his eyes, and said in his heart that Yuan Wufu was probably not a person who had lost his conscience like Si Wenyuan, and his nature was not bad, but he just followed Si Wenyuan to do things, and sooner or later he would go astray.
"Sister Geng Geng." Si Yi got down from the carriage on the side of the road, his face was not very good-looking.
"What's wrong?"
"We lost all the shoes we had changed." Si Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
