Chapter 35: Treat it as a begger
The Wen family lives on the busiest street in Qingzhou City.
When Yun Rong arrived, the door of the Wen family was closed, and the people who came and went either silently walked by, or walked far away, for fear of being a little involved.
Lu Nong asked a little worriedly, "Miss, do you want to knock on the door?" ”
Yun Rong nodded, walked towards the door, and knocked on the door of the Wen family.
Soon there was the sound of footsteps, and the door was opened a crack.
The person who opened the door saw a few unfamiliar faces, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Lu Nong just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yun Rong.
She took out a jade pendant and handed it over, saying, "Please hand this over to the master of the house." ”
The person who opened the door took the jade pendant, took it in his hand and looked at it, and then said, "Wait a minute." Then he closed the door again.
The three of them stood at the door, and from time to time passers-by cast strange glances.
Fuliu was no better than Lunong, and when he noticed the gaze of those people, he bared his teeth and glared back.
"Miss, what if they don't let you in?"
Yun Rong shook her head and said lightly, "Wait." ”
The jade pendant was given by Yun Rong's maternal grandfather before the eldest lady got married, and there were two pieces of jade pendant, one for the eldest lady to marry and take away, and one for the eldest lady's younger brother, which is now the head of the Wen family - Wen Jin.
The original owner has always carried it closely.
The subordinates may not know, but the master of the house must know.
————
And at this time, within the Wenfu.
Because Wen Jin was arrested, Mrs. Wen didn't sleep well for a few days, and her face was haggard.
Wen Shuangyi looked at Mrs. Wen's anxious appearance, and couldn't help but comfort: "Mother, you sit down and rest first, the eldest brother has already gone to find a way, if the other party asks for money, let's just give it, don't make your body anxious, when the time comes, my father will come back, I'm afraid I will be distressed." ”
Hearing her daughter say this, Mrs. Wen's frowning brows did not loosen, but wrinkled even more.
She wrung the handkerchief in her hand, sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the other party doesn't want money." ”
If you want money, you can give it, but if you want to die, the Wen family will collapse.
Wen Shuangyi was silent, and her heart couldn't help but rise.
Just when the mother and daughter were silent, the butler walked in: "Madam, someone outside the door asks to see you." ”
Mrs. Wen glanced up at him and asked, "But do you know?" ”
The butler shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”
Mrs. Wen waved her hand impatiently and said, "Send some broken silver." ”
At this time, where is she still in the mood to greet these.
The butler answered yes and turned to do it.
Yun Rong and the three of them stood at the door for a full half an hour before the closed door was opened again.
However, when the door was opened, the people inside did not invite them in, but threw a few pieces of silver to her, saying, "Go quickly, the master of the house is not there." ”
Fuliu looked at the broken silver scattered on the ground and asked angrily, "What do you mean by this?" ”
However, the gatekeeper did not give her an explanation, and retracted and slammed the door shut.
Fuliu spat angrily towards the door, and said a little unwillingly: "Miss, they are asking for food when we are." ”
Yun Rong turned her head to look at the closed door.
I always feel that this thing is strange from beginning to end.
If it is true as the gatekeeper said, the master of the house is not there.
Then when she knocked on the door, he should have spoken.
But he didn't, he closed the door and made them wait for half an hour before saying this.
And the jade pendant she gave was worth a lot of money, and it didn't look like she was short of money.
So what's wrong with this?
"Let's go."
"Miss, where are you going?" Lunon asked.
Yun Ronglian walked towards the bottom of the steps and said, "Find a place to rest first, and then talk about it at night." ”
Now, if she wants to enter the Wen family openly, she will definitely not be able to enter, but she will only talk about it at night.
The two maids let out an 'oh' and left after her.
After Yun Rong left, the closed door was suddenly opened.
Someone poked their head out and looked around, then closed the door again.
Lu Nong said in a deep voice: "Miss, it's the one who opened the door just now." ”
Yun Rong nodded, and then really left.
Just now she felt that something was wrong, so she thought about pretending to leave to see if anyone would come out to see.
Sure enough, as she expected, something happened to the Wen family, and I am afraid that someone should work together with the outside and make it together.
If that's the case, she can't enter the Wen family now, which should be a good thing.
And the person guarding the door, after looking around for a week, did not see the three of them, so he closed the door, arched his hand towards the housekeeper on the side, and said, "Steward Xu, everyone is gone." ”
Steward Xu nodded, threw the ingot of silver to him, and commanded, "If they come again next time, they will say so." ”
The gatekeeper took the money and bowed his head and replied, "Yes." ”
Steward Xu rubbed the jade pendant in his hand, and then turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
After Yun Rong left, she found an inn across the street from Wen's house and stayed there.
Pushing open the window, you can just see the door of the Wen family.
Maybe because of the accident, she looked at the door for a long time, but no one came in or out, so she simply closed the window and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Night soon came.
Yun Rong changed into women's clothes and put on a black dress, and the two maids were very worried.
Fighting to let her out.
Yun Rong smiled and said: "Although you have been practicing archery for some days, you are still far from the real masters, just wait here, I will be back soon." ”
Hearing her say this, the two maids were not reluctant.
Yun Rong's skills, on the way to Qingzhou City, they have already seen it.
If you think about it, it's frustrating, but it's true.
In the end, he could only say: "Then the young lady should go and come back quickly." ”
Yun Rong nodded, took two steps and paused, turned back to the two of them and said, "I'm afraid someone will come over later, you'd better live in one room, and I won't keep anyone in this house. ”
Since she went to the door today, I can't say that there will be anyone like her at night, come to visit at night or something.
However, she is really a night detective, and those people are not necessarily.
Although the two maids followed her to learn a few tricks of self-defense, they rashly faced each other, and it was definitely them who suffered.
So, if you can, try to hide.
After she finished speaking, she didn't give the two maids time to react, and jumped out of the window directly.
Lunon waited for her to leave, then closed the window again.
Fuliu couldn't help asking, "Sister Lunon, what should we do?" ”
Lu Nong thought for a moment and said, "Tell Xiao Er to open another room, let's live in the newly opened one." ”
Fuliu answered, and the two of them packed up their things and lived in the newly opened room.
The structure of Wenfu's house, Yun Rong has seen it clearly in the inn today.
But where Mrs. Wen lived, she didn't know.
I can only slowly touch the courtyard with the lights on.
Look for them one by one.
It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, but now it's no longer the way around.
There were many lights in the courtyard, Yun Rong bent her waist, touched the location of the main house, and stretched out her finger to poke a hole in the window.
She looked up, but the room was empty.
Not here!
She turned, ready to go on, but before she could move, she heard footsteps, with a faint sound of talking.
She paused, hiding in the darkness and not daring to move.
The footsteps seemed to stop.
Yun Rong's whole heart was raised, and she said secretly: "Isn't Mo discovered?" ”
However, the footsteps only paused slightly, and then pushed the door open and entered the house.
Yun Rong breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards the house.
The owner of the footsteps appeared in front of him, a man who looked to be in his forties.
Yun Rong was stunned, the eldest lady was a sister and brother, and Wen Jin was only in his early thirties, and he was now in prison.
So who is this person who is appearing now?
The man entered the house, and instead of resting, he touched the Dobao grid next to him.
In the next moment, something sounded in the room.
Yun Rong got closer, only to see a passage open on the wall on the right at some point.
Hei Yoyo, Yun Rong frowned, wanting to follow.
But this thought was only a flash of thought, and she suppressed it.
The purpose of her coming tonight is to meet Mrs. Wen, and as for other things, let's hold off for a while.
After seeing the man walk into the passage, Yun Rong also left.
After looking for about three or four yards, I finally found the yard where Mrs. Wen lived.
Maybe because of Wen Jin's arrest, Mrs. Wen didn't rest, she sat at the table, staring at the candlelight, not knowing what to think.
It's just that his face is not very good, and his eyes are red, obviously he has just cried.
Yun Rong quietly entered the house and leaned towards Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen sensed that someone was approaching, turned her head, and faced Yun Rong, who was covering her face.
Her eyes were horrified, and she shouted at once.
Fortunately, Yun Rong was in a hurry, and covered her mouth: "Hmm......m"
"Don't make a sound, I'll let you go."
Mrs. Wen nodded.
Yun Rong let go of her hand at this time.
Mrs. Wen subconsciously leaned back, and then asked tremblingly, "Who are you?" What do you want to do? ”
Then he seemed to think of something, took out the only silver ticket on his body, handed it to Yun Rong, and continued: "I have so much money on me, if you want it, take it all." ”
She thinks she's a thief!
Yun Rong glanced at the silver ticket on the table.
This Mrs. Wen is worthy of being a housewife, and when she encounters such a thing, although she is afraid, she is still methodical and can give conditions to attract others.
When Mrs. Wen saw that she didn't move, she thought she was too little, so she took off the hairpin on her head and the bracelet on her hand: "If it's not enough, you can take all of these." ”
Yun Rong didn't speak, raised her hand and tore off the face towel, before saying, "Uncle, I'm Sister Rong." ”
When Mrs. Wen heard her call her aunt, she carefully observed her face, which was quite familiar, and then asked with some hesitation: "Sister Rong of the eldest sister's family?" ”
