Chapter 35: Falling into the Devil's Cave
It is said that not long after Wen Hai responded, there were reports one after another, but Junyun did not find anything wrong, and Wen Yanbo and Fu Liangbi couldn't help but feel anxious.
After about a cup of tea, I only heard a noisy voice outside the door, suddenly, the door suddenly opened, Sheng Wenchong scolded and scolded in his mouth, called two big men, one left and one right fork into the room, threw on the ground, and turned back to close the door, and the majestic arms were forked in front of the chest, like two door gods.
Sheng Wen grinned bitterly, saw the frost flower at a glance, and knew that the matter was revealed, but he still had a fluke heart, his face flushed for a while, trembled, and said: "Second Brother Wen, I will come to your teahouse to support you, you treat me like this!" β
Wen Yanbo couldn't help but step forward and kick him, and scolded: "You black-hearted and traitorous fool, who are you provoking!" I said why are you so gracious today, and I begged for mercy again and again, but I didn't let me go, and I coaxed everyone to pour me wine! The feeling is that there is such a ghost idea, and now, the stolen goods are obtained, and the whereabouts of the memory are unknown, if you don't make a quick move, find the person back, and make this matter good. At that time, I am afraid that your skin and flesh will be broken and thrown into the ant pit, and you will not be hated by thousands of ants! Even your Sheng family will be affected by you! β
Sheng Wenchong still wanted to pretend, but was scolded by Wen Yanbo, he was a confused mind, and he knew that he had made an irreparable mistake, and he didn't know how to end it, he had already been frightened, he had no idea, where could he still be frightened, his face turned pale when he was bluffed, and he had no lips at all, and he hurriedly climbed over with Chaowen Yanbo, hugged his legs, and cried: "Second brother, second brother, you save me, I don't want to, I really don't want to, I just want to scare Miss Yan, let her not tell my secret, Speaking of which, it was all Big Brother Huang's idea, and he asked me to do it! β
Wen Yanbo kicked him to the ground, and shouted: "Don't explain the whole story of the matter, help us find Miss Yan, and atone for you, otherwise Zimei will arrive in a while, new hatred and old hatred, you see if he will spare you." β
Sheng Wenchong cried while making a fuss about the establishment of coupons and rice, and happened to be heard by Yizhi again, and cried again: "Originally, it was all Brother Huang's idea, whether it was to raise the price of rice, or to scare Miss Yan, but it's just that one can't help but fight, the other, the other, and the other...... Again...... I'm really, I'm so unlucky! As he spoke, he began to cry.
Wen Yanbo broke off and said: "Your father is not dead yet, what kind of mourning will this son howl!" Again, again, again, what's wrong again! β
Sheng Wenchong sobbed and stopped crying, and then said carefully: "Brother Huang said that the Yan girl is not a good thing, and often helps the Liu family brothers and sisters to squeeze him, and the two have already formed a personal feud, and now that she knows about it, she will tell the Liu family brothers and sisters that there is no good fruit for us to eat, so she wants to deter her." I also heard that there was a horseman who raised horses in the stable of Yanfu, who had a wife and a son, and lived a good life. One day, when the Hun family was washing clothes, the child accidentally fell into the well, knocked his head dizzy, and when he found out, he was swollen when he fished it up, and his Hun family has gone crazy since then. In order to treat the Hun family, he owed a lot of debts, and a few days ago, his Hun family was unprepared, and he also threw himself into the well and died. Brother Huang took advantage of his discouraged thoughts, asked me to talk to him, promised him money, as long as he Yan eldest girl went out, let someone know me early, and then deliberately broke the car in front of the tea shop. He had already been bent on death, so that he had a life, and when he saw that it was a place like Beishanzi Tea House, he did not doubt it, so he responded happily. β
Wen Yanbo ordered someone to fetch the coachman, and said in a deep voice: "Go on." β
Sheng Wenchong continued: "Brother Huang asked me to find a kid in the tea shop to trick Miss Yan there, I have already set up a pavilion of ecstasy incense, and it doesn't matter when I smell it at first, if I smell it for a long time, I will be temporarily confused by my mind, what you ask her to do, she will do." At this time, another old woman was sent to change her back, take her to the carriage in the alley outside, and send her to a rented bungalow in Sweetwater Lane. β
Wen Yanbo asked: "But, but the alley outside the north gate of the tea house?" Hearing this, Fu Liangbi glanced at Wen Yanbo.
Sheng Wenchong nodded and said, "Exactly." β
Fu Liangbi frowned and said, "How do you know?" β
Wen Yanbo said hatefully: "When I came out of this pavilion, I saw an old woman helping a woman into the carriage from a distance!" He pressed the fire again and said to Sheng Wenchong: "What are you going to do?" β
Sheng Wenchong said: "I ...... The group of husbands I hired in advance will pretend to be thieves from the Ghost Fan Building to scare her, and at that time, Brother Huang will pretend to be a coincidence again, and the hero will save the beauty......" said, and regretted again, and regretted: "Hey, this time, the person sent by Brother Huang said that when the group of husbands and workers went, the house was empty, and the old lady and the big girl Yan were gone!" β
When everyone heard this, they felt as if a scorched thunder had struck above their heads.
Fu Liangbi asked, "Where did you hire the old lady!" β
Sheng Wenchong hurriedly said: "I have a good mother, I set a pavilion, let her eat tea and listen to the play in it first." When she came out when she was supposed to do something, she should have waited for the group of workers to come back again, but somehow, no one saw her again. β
Fu Liangbi thought about it for a while, and said softly to Wen Yanbo: "It can be seen that the problem is in these two people, Tong'er only needs to trick Yizhi from one pavilion to another, even if he wants to run, he should only run after receiving the money, how can he not know where to go." We don't know whether the old lady brought it with her was a true memory or a fake memory, and where it went. β
Wen Yanbo thought for a moment and said, "Quickly send someone to inspect and see if there is any news." Someone answered. He said to Sheng Wenchong again: "Who rented that house from?" β
Sheng Wenchong said: "It was originally rented to live for a husband and worker in my family, but a few days ago, something happened to his family, and he went back to his hometown on leave, so it was temporarily empty and no one lived." β
Fu Liangbi asked again: "There is a third person who knows about the plan of the two of you!" β
Sheng Wenchong cried: "I don't know, it's all Big Brother Huang's idea, what he says, how I do it." Our plans are linked one by one, and the coachman, Tong'er, the old lady, the bounty hunter, and even the husband and wife do not know what is going wrong, and they do not know what is wrong. He was also frightened at this time, and before the kid who sent me to mention me could say a word to me, I was forked here by your people, belch, why am I so unlucky! β
Wen Yanbo pondered for a long time, and said to Wen Hai: "Go and get the Yan family's coachman immediately, if you don't run, together with this female envoy, Sheng Wenchong will be tied up, take it to see Zimei, and ask him to send someone to take Huang Zizhong immediately." After a pause, he said: "Uncle Hai, ask everyone in the tea shop, have you ever seen an old lady with a woman with a green back, if you have a clue, come and report it quickly!" β
Wen Hai hurriedly personally led people up and down to investigate carefully, and all the clues that were known and useless were obtained, and he became more and more anxious, and when the guests dispersed, he searched the pavilions one by one.
Seeing the blue sky fainting, the night is fading, and the sky is beginning to appear. Wen Yanbo was anxious, and suddenly heard someone report it, saying that the bungalow in Sweetwater Lane suddenly ran out of water, and when the fire was rescued, there was an extra female corpse in the room.
As soon as the two of them heard this, it was like thunder and lightning, and they hurriedly rode away on horseback.
When Yizhi woke up again, he found that it was no longer the bungalow of Fang Cai, but a dungeon with three brick walls, with a two-inch opening at the top of the iron door, and an iron fence partition. At the lower end is a bracket that can be opened and closed, which is probably reserved for food delivery.
She found herself dressed again, and fumbled around for a while, but didn't notice anything wrong. Then she looked around again, and saw that the floor tiles were muddy and thick with moss, and she was lying on a worn-out roll of rotten straw mats, and she shivered with rats, ants, insects and flies.
She endured the pain and got up, and saw that opposite her, there was also a roll of broken straw mats, on which sat a woman, with rotten sores on her face, she was fanning in a charming manner, and on the other hand, she looked up at the top of the iron gate, and the two-inch fence mouth was distracted, and hurriedly asked: "This sister, have you seen my maid?" β
The woman remained motionless and said, "Aren't you the maid?" β
Yizhi stayed for a long time and asked, "What?" β
The woman said, "I just listened to the people who carried you in whispering there, saying that it was the girl who died and the maid who was alive." The girl's body has been sent back, and no one will be contacted here, and as for you, it is worth a few hundred taels of silver. β
Remembering it like thunder and lightning, she forced the sorrow of Rui'er's death, choked back tears, and said suspiciously: "There are countless people who have seen me, how can they confuse the truth with the fake." β
The woman said: "They have a way, and they still use you to worry about it." When you have come in, forget about the past, and suffer less...... Here, there are a few people who are born to laugh. As he spoke, he looked at Yizhi again, and said, "I am most annoyed to hear the cry, and you hold it, if I hear a little bit, I will rip off the rotten pus and feed it to your mouth." As he spoke, he continued to look at the fence.
Yizhi wiped his tears, reluctantly calmed down, and asked, "This is the dungeon?" β
The woman didn't move, and hummed softly.
Remembering what he thought in his heart, he wept and said, "Do you want to leave here?" β
The woman shot a look at her in displeasure, but saw that her eyes were full of certainty, as if she was completely sure, and sneered and said: "I have seen a lot of people like you, crying and shouting, saying that the family will definitely come to save her...... Some of them are clever and try their best, but in the end, they still can't get out. Even if the family knew that she had fallen into such a place, even if it was clean, no one would dare to recognize her, let alone save her. In the final analysis, what infatuated parents often have, they are all lies, you should die as soon as possible, and I will not be able to live if I am not affected by the province. β
Remembering the way: "My father is the governor of the court, my uncle is the deputy envoy of the three divisions, and my godfather is the master of the Pingzhang political affairs of the court, and he is currently the governor of the government. Although my father was a civil official, and after the first Dengke, he entered the pavilion and often accompanied the prince, and he was not familiar with secular affairs, but he could not be deceived easily. I also have several brothers, two former commissioners, and one current military inspector, all of whom are accustomed to dealing with treacherous men. I'm the only one in the family, and you say they don't care about me. β
The woman laughed and said, "As you said, you are such a character, so how dare they touch you, don't tease." β
Yizhi was confused: "I wonder too...... Why did they dare to tie me up, and why did they do this to me......"
The woman laughed and laughed for fun, but she came to her senses, stayed for a long time, and then her eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and said: "If you are not lying, then it is really God's eyes, this hell is going to be ruined, this hell is going to be ruined!" β
Memories suddenly came to his senses and said, "Yes, they want to destroy the dungeon...... But who are they? Feeling chaotic again, he said indignantly: "I can't remember who I saw earlier, and I don't know how to get someone to take him captive." Then the woman was immersed in joy, as if she were fluttering, and asked, "Do you recognize the man who brought me in?" β
The woman smiled stupidly and said, "I don't know, I only know that there is a person with his head wrapped in his head, and blood is still oozing from the cloth, and he thinks that he has just been injured, and he has not had time to heal." β
Yizhi guessed that the person was Tong'er, and hated himself for being powerless and unable to avenge Rui'er, so he was sad and painful for a while.
The woman suddenly thought and said, "No, no, you must send the news of you in the dungeon, and you must send the news of you in the dungeon as soon as possible!" The woman kept thinking, and she panicked so much that she had nowhere to put her hands.
It is said that when Wen Yanbo and Fu Liangbi galloped to Sweet Water Lane, the world was already white, and they saw a few shop soldiers gathered around the three of them from a distance, gossiping in front of the house, and the two of them beat their horses and moved forward, and they came to the front of the house not long after.
Wen Yanbo slipped the saddle and dismounted, Zheng De, the patrol envoy of the left army, was gossiping with his subordinates, and when he saw Wen Yanbo at a glance, he hurriedly greeted him with both hands, and said with a smile: "Yo, what kind of wind blew your little Wen Second Master here?" β
Wen Yanbo said to him: "This piece is actually under the jurisdiction of Brother Zheng, which is very coincidental. It's not interesting to say, a kid in my workshop is not honest, he stole my jade pendant and ran away, it's nothing, but the jade pendant is a birthday gift from my grandfather, so I don't dare to take it lightly. I heard that the boy lived near here, so I came to see it. β
Zheng De said with a smile: "Which god did you hit today, just this alley, a thief came out of a family, and a ruffian broke into the ground, you see, this family is the worst, not only walked the water, but also found out that there was a female corpse inside, the fire was not big, but the woman burned the ground beyond recognition, it can be seen that someone wanted to destroy the corpse and extinguish the traces before letting go of this fire." β
Fu Liangbi dismounted, and then came up to Zheng De, Zheng De saw Fu Liangbi, and said: "Yo, this is not, this is not the ......" said, smiled, and then said: "Rich official, I heard that you are very busy today, this time, how can you have time to come here to have fun." β
Although Wen Yanbo and Zheng De belong to the same class, because he has always loved to praise sycophants, and he is full of clichΓ©s, he doesn't like it, and when he sees him in charge, he is afraid that he will be suspicious, so he can only try to attract his attention, so that Fu Liangbi can find out.
He knew that Zheng De loved to accumulate money, and deliberately mentioned the matter of opening a teahouse again, which really aroused his great interest, so he left the public case behind.
Fu Liangbi saw that the two of them talked more and more energetically, and the more they talked, the more they went to a secluded place, so he took the opportunity to go to the bungalow, and smelled a smell of burnt meat and charcoal, only to see that the bungalow was simple, a square table was placed at the door, the stove was only half a wall away from the kang, and there was a charred female corpse lying on the kang, and the body was slightly curved, as if he was tortured by fire before his death.
The two surveying shop soldiers were making fun of it, and one said: "Some women, they always think that their eyes are too high when they are born in a little bit of beauty, and they think that their lives are so good that they are capital, just like this one, they die so miserably, it is better to be ugly than to be born. β
Another smiled: "You dog, you know all day by day, why, recently the girl who looked at each other was too poor." You are too, if you have no money, you will lower your posture, and you want other girls to look good, and you want other girls to have a good dowry, people think of you, and you say that people don't know the goods, and this will use this to arrange people, this case has not yet been seen, and you will judge the case. β
The one said, "A big girl, just this hour, lying naked on the kang, with one east and one west, torn to the ground and tattered, what do you say it can be." β
The other one smiled and said, "It's a pity, look at this figure......" As he spoke, the two of them gathered together, talking and laughing softly.
If it were the usual Fu Liangbi, he would never be able to tolerate such a thing, and today he was bent on looking for Yizhi, and these two were Zheng De's subordinates, so he didn't want to say more, but secretly looked at the clues and didn't bother.
Suddenly, one of them said, "Oh, maybe this is still a courtesan!" Fu Liangbi heard the news and looked over.
Another asked, "What did you find again?" β
The one said: "There is a detachment document in her clothes, and only half of the ground is burned, what is the name of this child, I will take a good look, maybe we will also pass." He laughed.
The other was interested, busy with the fun, and said, "What is it called, what is it called?" β
Fu Liangbi suddenly heard the soldier report Su Yiyi's name, only to feel like thunder and lightning, strode forward, snatched the half-burned denaturalization document, read it, and then snatched the clothes to see, and trembled uncontrollably.
The surveying soldiers didn't recognize who Fu Liangbi was, so they took back the documents in an instant, pushed Fu Liangbi, and scolded for a while.
Fu Liangbi walked away like a true soul, where to listen to his words, when he was stupid and stupid, he strode onto the kang and wanted to turn over the female corpse, and suddenly saw someone moving the corpse, and hurriedly shouted.
The surveyor grabbed him by the neck, lifted him off the kang, and pressed him down on the square table, while the other raised his scabbard to strike.
The man recognized Fu Liangbi, hurriedly stopped, and said: "Can't fight, can't fight, this is a rich official, he used to be a famous criminal officer, and now he has been promoted to be a counselor!" You can't beat it! He stomped his feet again and said: "I said that you are a rich official, you know the rules best, why, how to do such a stupid thing!" β
When Wen Yanbo and Zheng De heard the movement, they rushed to the house, and when they saw this scene, they hurriedly stopped, Wen Yanbo went to help Fu Liangbi again, Fu Liangbi staggered, shed two lines of tears, and said: "The master didn't burn the papers, my sister asked me today to send me the papers...... I deserve to die, it's all me who deserve to die, I hurt her! β
Wen Yanbo shouted as if he was facing a great enemy: "What do you say, you quickly say it clearly." β
Fu Liangbi thought suddenly, and held his arm tightly, and asked, "Third Uncle Lu, have you inspected the back of the female corpse, is there any abnormality in her back!" β
Lu San was stunned and said, "I have just arrived, and I haven't inspected that place yet." β
Fu Liangbi said: "It's me who is reckless, Third Uncle Lu is not strange, hurry up, hurry up and check it." β
Wen Yanbo asked anxiously, "Where does this come from?" β
Fu Liangbi said: "Zimei was very naughty when he was a child, and the children in the neighborhood were afraid of him. One day, she followed Zimei to climb the rockery, Zimei thought she was annoying, didn't let her follow, remembered that she refused, and after two words, Zimei pushed her...... So I fell and was injured, and I took it to see Lang Zhong at that time, and Lang Zhong said that the luck in the misfortune can be raised, but the protruding backbone behind her waist is difficult to reset, even if it is too big...... You know, if you want to know if this woman remembers it, you can see it at a glance......"
When Wen Yanbo heard this, he didn't feel a burst of fire rushing straight to his head, so he clenched his fists.
When Lu San heard this, he had already solved it, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called the apprentices to assist in the investigation. Fortunately, the corpse was only burned beyond recognition, but it was not dehydrated and could be turned over.
Fu Liangbi saw it, and rejoiced incoherently: "It's not her, it's not her, it's not Yizhi, it's great, it's not her." "Saying that, it's good to have another stack of sounds.
Fu Liangbi came to his senses, but Wen Yanbo couldn't, he only felt a wave of anger burning more and more in his chest, about to burst out of his chest and burn everything - he could barely breathe.
It happened that Jiang Xiaoliu rushed over with a few boys, squeezed through the crowd and stepped forward to call, shouting for a long time, but Wen Yanbo didn't respond, and hurriedly said: "Little Second Master, Little Second Master, there is news, Uncle Xiao Su has sent a message to say that there is news." β
Wen Yanbo's face was stunned and asked, "What news?" β
Jiang Xiaoliu said: "Last night, a mother-in-law took the girl's beads and tired bristice hairpins to be, and the people in the pawnshop saw that it was something that was entered, and it was not available to the high-ranking officials, so they were afraid of causing trouble, so they hurriedly took down the person, put it into the firewood room, and went to report to the official early this morning." At this time, Brother Su is interrogating, and I heard that it was the woman who took the girl out of the teahouse! β
Wen Yanbo's heart lit up, and he suddenly said to Fu Liangbi: "Let's go to Kaifeng Mansion immediately!" β
Fu Liangbi nodded, and before leaving, he turned back to the shop and said: "As an official, you should know that the dead are great, and you should know the truth that you should not do to others what you don't want, and please put yourself in the shoes of others, if this is your sister, wife, and daughter, can you still come out with a smile?" β
The shop soldier smiled: "Then I am lucky, I don't have sisters, and I don't have a wife and daughter." β
Fu Liangbi was silent for a long time, and suddenly slammed his fist into his face, and it seemed to hear the sound of the bridge of his nose breaking, and he didn't feel very happy.
Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers suddenly roared and surrounded them. Jiang Xiaoliu hurriedly blocked in front of Fu Liangbi, and all the boys of the Wen family also rushed up, making noise for a while.
Zheng De drank everyone, and said angrily: "Fu Liangbi, what are you doing!" β
Fu Liangbi stared at Zheng De and said: "Your soldiers, you don't know how to train, I got on the horse for you ******** Yanbo, watched Fu Liangbi beat the soldiers angrily, and said: "Liangbi, if you are angry, let's go, the business is important." β
Fu Liangbi turned around and went to get on his horse.
Zheng De's face was flushed with anger, but because of Wen Yanbo, he didn't dare to attack, so he could only watch them leave.
