It is said that Wen Yanbo learned that Yizhi was missing, and his heart was like frying and burning, but he knew that he could not mess with himself at this time, so he told the truth to a few people, and repeatedly threatened the kid who informed Su Zimei, so he let him go.

Jiang Xiaoliu was a little unfriendly with Tong'er when he was in the teahouse, and when he saw him doing such a thing, he was angry and hateful for a while, and scolded: "I know that this forgetful eight lambs are a bastard with no score, and he knows how to be lazy, and he loves to beg good people, and he is really a dog who is not talented!" ”

suddenly remembered, and hurriedly said: "Second master, I know that he is good with a girl in the water room, but he has to give her everything he gets, and he often pulls her to whisper!" If he had started planning such a ghostly thing earlier, he would have told her a thing or two. ”

Wen Yan Boden said: "Take it immediately!" ”

Jiang Xiaoliu hurriedly responded, and beckoned the two boys to go together.

On the stage, the gongs and drums sounded in unison, Qiao Zhi'er, Shou Nu'er appeared on the stage, Ouyang Xu explained the rules, first a sentence, someone went back and forth, Ouyang Xu replied, everyone saw his talent, and couldn't help but praise the wonderful, Qiao Zhi'er witty words, turning elegance into vulgarity, so that those who don't love words are also willing to come to see.

There are also those who are willing to show off, or those who are really talented and learned, or those who are greedy for bonuses also come to the couplet, several people compete for back and forth, Ouyang Xu went back one by one, Shou Nuer plucked the pipa, and played and sang everyone's new work, which attracted full applause, and then gradually came out of the name of the characters to participate, and there were constantly people from the pavilion to see the excitement, seeing interesting, and calling friends to come out, it was very hot for a while.

Wen Yanbo saw at a glance that Fu Liangbi was stepping on the stage, slowly came to the second floor, and was busy with Wen Hai to invite, Wen Hai immediately went, led Fu Liangbi to a wall, and said. Not long after, Fu Liangbi and Wen Hai rushed to Wen Yanbo and said anxiously: "What is the current situation?" ”

Wen Yanbo said this and this, and Fu Liangbi hated: "You are very thoughtful, but I am afraid that the villain has already taken Yizhi out of the teahouse, if so, this matter will become dangerous!" ”

Wen Yanbo hurriedly said: "I'm also worried about this!" ”

Fu Liangbi was anxious, and frowned again: "Yanbo, have you thought about it, where did this matter come from, Yizhi was lost in your family's tea shop, and it was your prisoner who deceived her in your name." Reminiscing about a boudoir woman, the master and the prime minister of peace, everything has to be roundabout, and the character who never easily grudges with others will always not block people's future, and who can he offend. Will this be for you, or for your family, your grandfather's house? ”

Wen Yanbo sighed discouragedly, and said hatefully: "I also thought of this, and taking into account the reputation of Yizhi, I only quietly asked someone to tell Zimei, and I wanted you to come to the trial and investigation." Liangbi, you have been a criminal officer for so long, scheduling and interrogation should be extremely familiar with things, no matter what, saving memories is the most important. "The matter is urgent, so I should respond and no longer shirk.

Wen Yanbo asked Wen Hai to secretly convene the big and small stewards, and after a while, there were three or four columns of people in the account room.

Wen Yanbo told the matter first, everyone was shocked when they heard it, and he continued: "Today's incident is extraordinary, Miss Yan was lost in our teahouse, and she was careful with her spirit, if there is anything wrong, report it quickly, and it is a great credit to find the girl." If you can't find it, I'm afraid that no one in the tea house can escape! But if there is a person who deceives the upper and lower, so that I can perceive it, it will be the same as that Tong'er, and I will be able to weigh it myself, and touch a few heads on the cavity to cut off! ”

Everyone knows that things are not trivial, and they are busy gambling and swearing that they have nothing to do with themselves, and they are full of words to show their loyalty.

Wen Yanbo said a few more words of deterrence and temptation, Fu Liangbi thought about it for a while, and said: "First bring the people who are close to Suri and Tong'er, and all the people who have talked to Tong'er today." ”

Someone should go down, and after a while, he brought a few people, and Fu Liangbi asked them one by one, and he didn't see anything wrong, so he was silent for a while, and then said, "Where is the person who manages the door guard?" ”

Someone came out of the crowd to agree, and Fu Liangbi said: "You go and inquire about whether there are any suspicious people in the time between the time of the hour and the time of the month." The man answered.

Fu Liangbi continued: "Are the rest of the people who manage the boy, the tea doctor, the water room, the fire room, etc.? ”

And they replied yes, one by one, they went back to their own jurisdiction.

Fu Liangbi said: "Well, a few of you also have to inquire about the time from the time of the unit to the time of the time, whether there are any suspicious people." In addition, the people who manage the boy and the tea doctor have to go to the major pavilions, or invite the couplet, or add incense and water, to find out. ”

The group of people who were in charge of serving the tea answered.

It happened that Jiang Xiaoliu took the frost flower that Su Ri and Tong'er were good with, and the frost flower was spicy, because he thought that he had never made a mistake, but he was not stunned at all, but looked at Fu Liangbi and Wen Yanbo with full eyes.

When Wen Hai saw it, he scolded: "Bold, when you see the big officials, you don't kneel down quickly, and you use that thief's eye to see what!" ”

Wen Hai's voice was like a bell, and Shuanghua might as well be startled, squinting at Wen Hai, kneeling softly, and muttering: "I haven't seen anything like this, how do you know what kind of big official it is...... Curious to take a look, there are also some who do such a big anger. ”

Wen Hai shouted: "You dare to break your words!" ”

Frostflower shrunk her shoulders and said no more.

Fu Liangbi measured his posture, and had already touched her temperament, and asked: "Who is in the hall, where is the household registration, where do you live now, and how many people are still in the family, come truthfully." ”

Frost Flower's eyes slipped to the left and then to the right, and she said softly with a smile: "What are the big officials asking for?" ”

Fu Liangbi patted the case and said angrily: "Fight." ”

Jiang Xiaoliu got the order, rolled up his sleeves, opened his bow left and right, and hit a few times.

Fu Liangbi shouted to stop, stared at her for a long time, and then said, "Do you know why I hit you?" ”

Frost had tears in her eyes, covering her face, just shaking her head.

Fu Liangbi said: "My sister was lost, she was captured by a gate eunuch named Tong'er, and if you delay me for a quarter of an hour, my sister will be more dangerous." I have heard that the man is approaching you, and now he has committed an accident, if you know the details, tell me quickly, and help me find my sister, and do a great thing, if you still remember the old feelings and hide them for him, you see how many torturous ways I have to make you confide in them.

From this point on, whatever I ask, you will answer truthfully, and then answer another sentence that is not what you asked, it is not as simple as a few ear scrapers. ”

Frost Flower was bluffing, kowtowing busily, and said: "The big official is Mingjian, the big official is Mingjian!" Which black-hearted bastard is forgetting the eight seeds to lie to me, when will I get along with him, what is his thing, how can I look at it! ”

Jiang Xiaoliu listened, Deng Shiyuan glared and scolded: "Hey, you sell good money when you get cheap, when I was in the tea shop, I often saw that he got anything good to send to you, and you two always find a place where no one is there to whisper, when I don't know!" This kid still dares to bite others indiscriminately! ”

Shuanghua scolded: "Who did I bite, you saw that I said that by name, I want you to jump out and defend him, big officials, big officials, you can't listen to those dogs!" ”

Fu Liangbi frowned and said: "You said that you have nothing to do with him, but some people say that you two secretly teach each other privately, what is going on?" ”

When Shuanghua heard this, she was short of breath for half a minute, so she had to say: "Then, then he sent it back to him, and what does it have to do with it......

Fu Liangbi stared at the hosta on her bun, which was extremely incommensurate with her cloth skirt, laughed, and asked, "This hairpin is not bad." ”

Shuanghua hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with him, just his little monthly example, he can't support himself, even if he earns eight lifetimes, I'm afraid he won't be able to earn this hairpin!" ”

Fu Liangbi asked, "Who sent you that?" ”

Frost Flower hesitated, not daring to confide.

Fu Liangbi said: "It can be seen that I don't want to say it, since this is the case, don't blame me for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, come to someone, and the buttocks will be punished with twenty rods, if you don't say it, you will pour seven holes with chili pepper water, and then beat." ”

Frost Flower was frightened, and even cried and crawled to Fu Liangbi, Jiang Xiaoliu hurriedly stopped her and pushed her to the ground, Frost Flower cried and wept, and said: "I said, I said, big officials, you can't beat, you can't fight, I have to go to see each other tomorrow, that's a decent person I've been looking forward to for many years, I can't beat it!" ”

Wen Hai scolded: "Then don't say it quickly!" ”

Shuanghua cried: "Yes, it's the fourth master of the Sheng family, the fourth master asked around in the workshop a few days ago, saying that there was an important errand to be entrusted to someone, and he wanted to find a boy who was short of money, and the workshop was tight, and he was unwilling to take on private work, I, I saw that he couldn't find it, so I inquired a few words in vain, and I mentioned it to Tong'er again......" She spoke, and her voice became softer and softer.

Fu Liangbi said angrily: "If you don't make a quick move, do you want to beat a stick before you say a word?" ”

Frost Flower hurriedly said: "I really just mentioned it, nothing else!" ”

Fu Liangbi sneered: "It can be seen that you still have to fight." ”

Jiang Xiaoliu picked up the door pestle, Shuanghua hurriedly held his hands, and cried and said to Fu Liangbi: "I can't beat it, big official, I really can't beat it...... It's me, it's me who should do this job and give it to Tong'er, the fourth master promised two times to set the money, and said that after the matter was completed, there were still three times, I only gave Tong'er fifty Wen, and the rest of the whole thing was completely ignored, and I bought this hairpin......"

Fu Liangbi asked: "In this way, after the matter is completed, Tong'er only needs to ask you for silver, and does not meet directly with Sheng Xiaosi?" ”

Shuanghua said discouragedly: "He just told me that Miss Yan is here today, and after doing this, he will take me to buy noodles after receiving the reward." I was waiting for news, and I was brought here in a daze. ”

Fu Liangbi said, "Do you know the detailed plan?" ”

Shuanghua pouted and cried: "The little fourth master said that he has something to say to Miss Yan, just ask Ji to invite her to another pavilion, and it will be done." Brothers and sisters, they have feelings and get along in private, this is also a common thing, they, they are all such characters, who knows, how something happened. As he spoke, he whimpered and cried.

Fu Liangbi rubbed his fingertips with his fingers, and said to Wen Hai: "Please also ask Uncle Hai to find a few strong and proper people to quickly bring the Sheng family Shiro here." ”

Wen Hai hesitated for a moment.

Wen Yanbo said: "It's all this time, what is Uncle Hai still hesitating?" ”

Wen Hai said with a smile: "Buddies don't know, now, only finding Miss Yan is the most important thing, the old slave just wants to come selfishly, just relying on the confession of that female envoy, rashly go to get someone, if he insists that this is a false accusation, I am afraid it will be even more wrong." ”

Fu Liangbi said: "Uncle Hai is worried, I want to come here selfishly, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple." ”

Wen Yanbo asked, "Liangbi, how do you say this?" ”

Fu Liangbi thought for a while, and said to Wen Yanbo: "You listen to me and ask me carefully." ”

Fu Liangbi's eyes shot at Frost Flower and asked, "According to what you said, Tong'er only needs to trick Yizhi into going to a pavilion, how can you get such a rich bounty, you two are not suspicious at all." ”

Shuanghua cried: "The big officials Mingjian, their brothers are the most money-like people, as long as they say a few words that please him, they will stuff you with a lot of money, what is this idea." ”

Fu Liangbi continued to ask: "Then ask yourself, how does Tong'er treat you?" At this time, if you lie again, you are afraid that your family will be thrown into prison together. ”

Frost Flower stopped crying and said tremblingly: "Whatever is good, he really wants to give it to me, just give it to me, and it is not for nothing, it is also ...... There are also comings and goings. ”

Fu Liangbi came to his senses, sneered, and said, "Whoever asks you this, I only ask you, can you be sure that he has you in his heart!" If he notices that something is wrong, will he run with you? ”

Shuanghua was stunned for a while, and then said firmly: "Yes, he knows that my family is still pointing to marry me, so he wants to make money, and he always hates himself for being incompetent, so he doesn't dare to come to the door to propose." ”

Fu Liangbi listened, and said to Wen Yanbo: "The point that the reward is too high may be self-justifying. But it's just to trick Yizhi into going to a pavilion, why did Tong'er plan to escape early, this is one of them. As Jiang Xiaoliu said, Tong'er was infatuated with treating this female envoy well, since she found something, why didn't she take her, this is the second. ”

Wen Yanbo hesitated: "What do you mean by 'the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind'?" ”

Fu Liangbi said: "Exactly, he Sheng Wenchong has a trick, but the trick is noticed, but he was moved away." Now it seems that Tong'er may have seen through that the female envoy did not treat him sincerely, so he was not only hired with Sheng Wenchong, or maybe Tong'er and Yi Yi were kidnapped. ”

Wen Yanbo was silent for a long time, and sneered: "Uncle Hai, quickly bring someone to invite the fourth master of the Sheng family." ”

It is said that Yizhi woke up from a deep stupor, only to see a faint candlelight faintly through the crack of the door, and occasionally a figure walked by, the room was windowless on all sides, dim and damp, and the hall was full of his own heavy breathing.

Everywhere she looked at the thatch, and after two more looks, she was dizzy for a while, and she held her head and closed her eyes for a while, and then smelled the aroma of boiling soup, she pushed Rui'er beside her, and asked her not to make any movement, and reluctantly got up, and the two walked lightly to the wooden door, and looked through the crack in the door.

She saw an iron pot on the stove in the hall, and next to the stove was a square table with many plates. Tongues of fire licked the bottom of the pot, the hot soup tumbled, and a thick mist rose one after another, and Kiri'er sat on a high stool, half-bent over, her hands on her knees, her elbows slightly bent outward, and he was staring intently into the pot—his eyes bulging and staring motionlessly. His lips moved from time to time, followed by a swallow, the bulging Adam's apple rolling.

Suddenly, he first fished out a barrel bone from the pot, and gnawed it, he tore open the tight flesh petals, the hot heat seemed to have no effect on him, his lips and teeth opened and closed, and his tongue seemed to have barbs, licking all the details cleanly.

He scooped another bowl of soup and drank it—just a light blow, and then he gasped, and the hot soup poured down his throat into his belly, and he finally felt the hot pain, and howled, but after a while, he picked up the bowl again, and drank the steaming soup.

Then, he picked up the chopsticks again, took a ball of good mutton from the plate, and put it into the pot in one go.

Yizhi remembered that she had heard the old man talk about the starving ghost in the past, but she didn't know why, and the scene in front of her brought her fear that she had never had, as if his mouth was biting her flesh and blood, and every bite brought her three points of pain, her eyes gradually stared like copper bells, and the sound of entering and exiting became more and more rapid, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Tong'er kept eating the meat, and picked up the sheep's skull in the pot to gnaw, and gnawed it creakingly. He devoured it for a while, and when he was about full, he got up again and walked towards Memori.

Remembering and Rui'er panicked and ran out of ideas, groping all over the ground for things that could be used as weapons, and when the wooden door suddenly opened, she found a stone that she couldn't hold with both hands, she picked up the stone, and stretched her arm straight to Tong'er, as if holding a long sword that could kill him and him.

She trembled and pretended to be calm: "What the hell do you want!" ”

Tong'er saw it, smiled, and said: "I want to be satisfied, I have grown so big, I haven't eaten a few pieces of fat, I exchanged the girl's head jewelry for a whole fat sheep, and I simply ate it." As he spoke, he unfastened his belt with his hands full of soup and minced meat.

Yizhi straightened his arm again and threatened with a stone: "What are you going to do!" ”

Tong'er smiled: "I said, I want to be complete, I have grown so big, I haven't eaten a few pieces of fat, and I ate it today." I've grown so big, I haven't been a woman yet, and I want to be talented today. ”

Yizhi's eyes stared at his fishy grease mouth, and he said in a trembling voice: "You might as well kill me directly......"

Tong'er continued to walk forward and said, "No, I sold you, and it's worth a lot of silver." ”

Seeing him getting closer and closer, the threat was fruitless, he raised the stone and smashed it towards his head, only to hear a bang, Tong'er stiffened down, just touched the bloody forehead, shook his head, and stomped on it again, Yizhi kicked it, suddenly lost his strength, and fell backwards, only to feel the heat in his lower abdomen, and rolled down two lines of hot tears at one time.

Tong'er stepped forward quickly, stomped a few feet, picked up Yizhi's clothes, tied several palms left and right, and hit her to the ground, dizzy, he saw that she no longer had the strength to resist, so he went to take off her clothes, while taking off, he scolded viciously: "You'd better be honest with me, and then dare to touch Lao Tzu, you see how Lao Tzu wants your life!" ”

For a while, he laughed again and said, "Girl, I used to please you in the past, and it's time to change it!" ”

Rui'er pounced on her, went to stop Tong'er, and cried: "We are all poor people, I understand you best, I live desperately, but no matter where I go, I can't please you, even if you meet a good employer, there are always people who want to press you and bully you for no reason." But do you know that after you do this, there is no way to live! ”

Tong'er grabbed Rui'er's black hair, tore her apart, pointed a finger at her, and scolded: "Don't worry, it will be your turn in a while!" ”

Rui'er pounced again, while stopping, and cried: "Do you know that before I met the girl, I even ate a rancid ......" Tong'er hated her for getting in the way, pushed her away, she came back, and said: "Even so, there is a ...... of last meal and no next meal"

Tong'er shaved her two palms hard, hitting her eyes with Venus, but she still muttered: "Now with the girl, you can get good food and drink...... I don't wear any more torn clothes...... If you make a big mistake, you will be annoyed and ignore you for a while...... It's still the same after that, girl...... The girl also taught me to write my own name, and I recognized a few words......"

Tong'er hated the ground, only to feel the anger in her chest, and it became more and more difficult to get into her ears, so she pressed Rui'er's head and punched it one after another.

Yizhi saw Rui'er lying on the ground, Tong'er turned her back to her, her fists raised and fell, raised and fell, she heard the sound of heavy punches falling on the flesh, and after hearing each punch falling, Rui'er snorted sullenly, even so, she was still muttering: "My girl is a good person, she is a good person...... If you have a grievance, just tell the girl, and she will be the master for you......"

Yizhi's face was already full of tears, she barely got up, groped for the stone that she had thrown out earlier, picked up the stone with trembling hands, and stumbled to Tong'er, and smashed it hard against the back of his head.

Yizhi only felt that she had exhausted her life's strength, and she didn't feel that she fell to the ground softly, and she saw Tong'er lying on the ground, bleeding from her back skull, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive. She couldn't take care of it anymore, she just forced herself to crawl towards Rui'er, but before she could touch her, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
