The old lady's face was getting more and more pale at the moment, she didn't reply to the eldest lady's words, but asked Tao's mother on the side: "How long has it been?" ”

"It's been exactly two hours since I returned to the old lady."

The eldest lady was not shocked on her face, and she was secretly calculating in her heart, if there was no accident, those bandits should have already dealt with Sheng Yanqing.

The old lady calculated, sighed and said, "It's only an hour of going back and forth, why hasn't the second master come back for a long time?" ”

The eldest lady hurriedly explained: "In order to avoid the police, these robbers often change places for a while, maybe those people don't trust the second master, so they change places to toss people." The old lady can rest assured, the police are following the second master. ”

The old lady still did not respond, sighed deeply, and looked out worriedly.

Seeing this, the eldest lady personally made tea and brought it over.

"The old lady is too sad, take a sip of soothing tea to rest, sleep well, and when you wake up, you can see the second and third masters, you are already old, but you can't stand such a toss." The eldest lady said with kind words while massaging the old lady's shoulders and back.

"It's fine." The old lady didn't want to agree, but the headache was so bad that she thought that she couldn't help herself sitting here, so she drank the tea.

After the old lady fell asleep, the eldest lady said goodbye, and before leaving, the eldest lady also pretended to tell Mother Tao not to let the old lady be too anxious.

Shen Yu supervised the workers making tea in the tea shop, and was a little worried after hearing about Sheng Yanwei's matter, and then Hexiang hurriedly ran in from outside, leaned over and whispered a few words in Shen Yu's ear, and Shen Yu's face suddenly darkened.

Shen Yu stopped what she was doing, pulled Hexiang to a corner where no one was, and asked in a low voice, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's true!" Hexiang nodded in response, and she continued in surprise: "On weekdays, seeing that third master is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and now he is causing such a disaster when the Sheng family is in trouble!" ”

Shen Yu sighed lightly: "No wonder someone just said something, the second master left in a hurry, it was for this matter." ”

But Shen Yu thought about it, it had been three hours since the second master left, why hadn't he come back yet?

Maybe it was because the second master took care of himself a few days ago, and Shen Yu naturally took him to heart, and asked more: "Where is the place where the bandits' den is?" ”

He Xiang didn't know that the young grandmother was going to ask this, but after carefully recalling what the doorman said, she finally remembered, "There is a wild fruit forest in the west of the city." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, it stands to reason that the carriage made by the second master and Steward Xie can get there in less than half an hour, even if you add the time when you come back and when you negotiate, it will take less than three hours.

Shen Yu inexplicably had a bad premonition in her heart, "You said that the second master, why did they spend so much time and not come back?" ”

Hexiang shook her head, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe the bandit is cunning and has changed the location again?" Or maybe the second master is still negotiating with them now? ”

Seeing Shen Yu's frowning brows, Hexiang comforted her and said, "The second master and Steward Xie are both smart people, and they will be fine." ”

Shen Yu felt that what Hexiang said was not unreasonable, and only blamed herself in her heart for thinking too much, if it was abnormal, there must have been movement on the old lady's side.

The sky was getting darker and darker, the east wind was howling, and Shen Yu found that it had been four hours since the second master left, and that inexplicable premonition came to her heart again.

After thinking about it, she felt that it was not possible, so she sent someone to see the road that the second master walked.

It didn't take long for the little guy to come back in a panic, "Tell the eldest young grandmother that the second master's car was found, but the horse died on the ground, and there was no one in the car." ”

Shen Yu was secretly shocked in her heart, her eyes suddenly changed, and she glanced at the little guy with a complicated expression: "Have you looked carefully?" ”

The little guy nodded: "Naturally, I also looked around, but I didn't see anyone." ”

If this is the case, the second master and Steward Xie must be in trouble, Shen Yu hurriedly packed up her things and didn't care about the affairs of the tea shop, and hurriedly went to Heshoutang to find the old lady.

But as soon as she walked to the door of Heshoutang, Shen Yu was stopped. It was the maid beside Mrs. Sheng who stopped the person, and she was also familiar with Shen Yu, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly said: "Grandma Da Young is a little better, the old lady is worried about the second and third masters, just rest, it's better not to disturb." ”

"But for this matter, I can only find the old lady!" Shen Yu was in a hurry, the more time dragged on, the more dangerous Sheng Yanqing and Xie Changli were.

If Mrs. Sheng doesn't make up her mind about this matter, no one can make a decision.

"Young grandma, no matter how urgent things are, they can't disturb the old lady's purity." The maid shook her head and said to Shen Yu, "Today, I heard that the third master had an accident, and the old lady is not happy, so she can rest for a while." ”

"However, in the past, my grandmother would only sleep for a quarter of an hour during her lunch break, but now she has slept for an hour or two!" Shen Yu shook her head, looked at the maid and said, "It's always good to be at ease." ”

The maid thought about it, it seemed that this was the case, and her heart was not good, so she hurriedly ran to call the old lady to get up, but was stopped by the eldest lady.

"The old lady really hurt you in vain in the past, and when she finally rested for a while, you still have to quarrel with her." Danian came over in time, and when he saw Shen Yu, he was a little angry.

"You're not helping in the tea shop, what are you doing when you come back!"

"Mother-in-law, the second master and Steward Xie have been out for so long and haven't come back, aren't mother-in-law worried?" From Sheng Yanqing to the present, four hours, the eldest lady has not panicked at all.

"The second master is doing it safely, and he will naturally come back when he finishes it." The eldest lady glanced at Shen Yu, "Daughter-in-law Yanming, you are the eldest young grandmother, not the second young grandmother." ”

"Mother-in-law, I naturally know whose daughter-in-law it is, but mother-in-law, I just asked the little maid to inquire, and I saw the second master's carriage over there, the carriage was empty, and the horse died next to it." Shen Yu knew that the eldest lady would never listen to herself, but she still had to say it.

"How do I know you're not making it up?" The eldest lady didn't bother to look at Shen Yu, seeing that things could be done easily, she wouldn't let Shen Yu bother.

"My daughter-in-law has witnesses, so I really can't ask the eldest lady to come with me to take a look." Time waits for no one, Shen Yu is really a little anxious, if there is no second master now, it is a question whether the Sheng family can survive this time. For so long, she still agrees with Sheng Yanqing's ability to do business.

"Bandits are rampant outside the city, you want me to die!" When the eldest lady heard this, she was angry, pointed at Shen Yu's nose and scolded, "You poisonous woman, the Sheng family has been moldy for eight lifetimes to marry such a daughter-in-law as you, I think you should be directly sunk in the pond!" ”

Chapter Forty-Eight: You Should Be a Few Pounds and a Few Taels for Yourself

"Shen Yu, if you and I keep you until now, you can show off your power in front of me and point fingers? Let me tell you, this Sheng family, it's not your turn to have the final say! The eldest lady crossed her waist and looked at Shen Yu, her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes, and she scolded her.

The maid next to her saw it and wanted to call the old lady to get up, but was stopped by Chen's mother, and in desperation, she had to go to the door.

"Mother-in-law, Shen Yu doesn't want to accuse you of anything, just state the facts. The second master has been gone for so long and hasn't come back, no matter what the situation is, he always has to pass on the message, right? Shen Yu felt that something was wrong, but the matter was urgent and she couldn't think about it carefully.

"You really don't know how many pounds and taels you have, you have already been to the police station before, and you have found the police to go up the mountain with them. What's the matter, do you still want a beauty to save a hero? I can remind you, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, don't cause any shame that shouldn't be provoked and dirty the yard of my Sheng family! Don't give me a roll back yet, what is it like! ”

The doctor wouldn't listen to Shen Yu's words, so he drove her away.

Shen Yu frowned and returned to Fuyunju, and Hexiang hurriedly came over and asked, "Young grandma, let's just forget it?" ”

"The second master must have had an accident, but the eldest lady won't let her save her, so she must have her plans." Shen Yu shook her head, thought about it, looked at Hexiang and said, "On weekdays, the second master treats us well, and we can't say anything if we don't save us when we die." ”

"However, the words of the eldest lady are not wrong, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door. Although you are the eldest sister-in-law of the second master, if you manage too much, it will cause ...... when the time comes" Hexiang was also a little hesitant, not knowing what to do.

"So I won't go by myself, Hexiang, you come with me." Shen Yu's eyes lit up, and she pulled the lotus fragrance and said, "The wild fruit forest in the west of the city is not small, I will definitely not be able to find it alone, you go out with me." ”

Shen Yu originally wanted to call the guys in the shop to go out to find someone together, but this would definitely alarm the eldest lady, and they would have to be blamed at that time. Sheng Yanqing finally saved such a good reputation, if she lost it because of the reproach of the eldest lady, the gain outweighed the loss.

After thinking about it over and over again, the only person Shen Yu could use was Hexiang.

"But it's dark." Hexiang looked at the night and felt that it was too unsafe, "Young grandma, just go, tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow, everyone will be cold." Shen Yu rolled her eyes, "I know you're afraid, when we go out, you will go to the police station to find the police, and I will go to the west of the city to find it myself." ”

"This ......"

"If you hesitate, it's curfew!" Shen Yu no longer gave Hexiang a chance to speak, and directly pulled her in to change her clothes, and after a while, two little maids came out of Fuyunju, sneaked to the gate, and ran into the darkness without a trace.

He Xiang trotted to the police station to secure the police station according to Shen Yu's instructions, and Shen Yu hurriedly left the city and went to the west of the city while the city gate had not been closed.

The night was dark, and Shen Yu was a weak woman, but she seemed to be guts, and she walked to the west of the city without looking back.

Feeling the darkness to the wild fruit forest in the west of the city, Shen Yu held her breath and observed the surroundings, and only after confirming that there was no one did she quietly go inside.

After not going far along the road, Shen Yu saw the carriage lying on the side of the road, and there was a pool of dark black blood next to the carriage. There is no other message than that.

After Shen Yu confirmed that this was the carriage of the Sheng family, she was sure that Sheng Yanqing and Xie Changli must have been murdered, but what she was not sure was who had kidnapped them.

There are more than a dozen bandit dens on the west side of the city, large and small, and there are five or six of them with names and surnames. However, if it is an ordinary businessman, ordinary bandits do not dare to start, they can clearly know Sheng Yanqing's carriage, and also know that he is carrying the ocean, I am afraid that not only is the power huge, but also has to have an internal response.

Shen Yu circled the carriage with her arms around a few times and didn't find any useful clues, just as she was about to find a place to hide and wait for the police, she heard someone talking in the distance.

"The boss just knows how to live, and that horse can eat for a long time when he moves back!"

"That's it, these days, our brothers can fade out of their mouths, and finally have meat, how can it be wasted!"

"That's right! I can't let go of the horse meat, and I can't let go of the car, I think the car is a little old, but it's all made of real good wood, let's drag it back and maybe when we will use it! ”

The two little minions were talking and laughing, and they came down from the west road with longing on their faces, Shen Yu was startled, and it was too late to hide.

"Oh, why is there a woman here in the middle of the night?" The little minion saw Shen Yu hiding behind the carriage at a glance, his face was happy, and he hurriedly chased after him.

Shen Yu ran a few steps before the two of them caught up, and she said cautiously, "Brothers, I went to the town to visit relatives, and I was delayed and passed by here. I haven't seen anything, so please let me go. ”

"Tut, looking at you like this, you don't look like an ordinary woman." The two little minions surrounded Shen Yu, looking up and down obscenely, and snorting at the same time.

Shen Yu changed into Hexiang's clothes when she came out, but the Sheng family and the Shen family are both big families, and the personal maids of the masters are not ordinary, so even if she changes her clothes, Shen Yu doesn't look like an ordinary peasant woman.

In addition, Shen Yu was originally intensively raised, with white and tender skin, how could this be comparable to those peasant women who worked all day?

"Little lady, you see that there are wolves in the wild fruit forest in the middle of the night, why don't you go with us to the village for the night, and then we will send you down tomorrow?" The other little minion smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Yu.

Shen Yu hid, and the two of them were afraid of alarming others, so they simply knocked out a knife from behind and pulled them back to the stockade on the carriage.

When Shen Yu woke up, she was lying in a dark room, surrounded by the musty smell accumulated from years of not seeing sunlight. She squirmed and tried to sit up, but found that there seemed to be someone beside her.

"Are you awake?" The man was alarmed by Shen Yu's movements and asked.

"Second master?" Shen Yu immediately heard that this was Sheng Yanqing's voice, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Is the second master injured?" ”

"No, but you were carried in unconscious, and I thought you were injured." With a little rare moonlight, Sheng Yanqing and Jiang Shenyu helped him to sit down on a chair with a broken leg on the side, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ......" Shen Yu didn't know how to tell Sheng Yanqing, saying that she came out to look for him? I'm afraid it's too obvious.
