Chapter 17: The Prison Visitors Go
Hu Xianxian didn't know that she had fainted, she only felt that she was walking in the air in the storm, she stepped lightly on the treetops and flew quickly, but she still thought she was too slow.
She was so anxious that she only cared about moving forward, her white gauze robe had already been soaked by the rain and stained with mud, and she didn't realize it.
Suddenly, she stepped into the air, and lightning flashed, and she saw that she was falling into the black abyss......
She kept falling but couldn't fall to the end, and suddenly, her feet were grabbed by something! She struggled instinctively, and after a few struggles, she saw the light......
"Wake up, young lady is awake!" Sanhua's tear-stained face dangled in front of her, she couldn't see anyone else clearly, and her eyes were full of light.
"Don't be in a hurry to speak, keep your mind steady." She could tell that the person who spoke was the voice of Mr. Kang, a physician from the Rejuvenation Hall. She realized that she had fainted, so she closed her eyes and remembered what had happened.
"Miss, she closed her eyes again, wow......" Sanhua cried.
"Sanhua, be quiet, Xianxian wants to rest." It was the third uncle who was stopping Sanhua.
"Sanhua, let's go out first, we can't help here." The buzz of the big bull sounded.
"yes, we need to go to bed early. What should we do in the morning, we can't let Miss worry about it anymore. This is the voice of the second fat, after listening to what he said, Hu Xianxian's heart was relieved - these guys can still take care of things.
Sanhua still said in a crying voice, "Don't let Miss worry? It's not that you brought a bad star into the door to make the young lady like this. “
Da Niu's tone became crisp, "Sanhua! Is this the time to complain about each other? Get me out. “
The second fat voice was crying, "Blame me, blame me!" I shouldn't have brought him to the store...... In the past, even though business was not good, I was able to get by, so what should I do now......"
Hu Xianxian opened his eyes, "Don't worry, the sky is falling, and there are tall people on top." Let's all go out, let me be quiet for a while. “
Seeing her speak, the guys and Mr. Kang walked out, and Aunt Hu touched her forehead and said, "Xianxian, or we will sell Hongbin Building, right?" The Che family wants to occupy this half of Hongbin Building, and it is not a day or two, and I wonder if these things are all done by the Che family. 〃
Hu Xianxian propped up his body and sat up, "Mother, let's go, where will my father and brother come back to find us?" Hongbin Building is gone, isn't there even more hope of reunion? Mother, I don't think it's the Che family's ghost in this matter, even if it has something to do with them, they are not the mastermind, and they can't do such a big game. “
"I think it's the Che family's ghost! Che Chuang had a sect with the Che Governor's Mansion before, and recognized his brother, if it weren't for the support of the Che Governor's Mansion, his Hongzhenji Restaurant would not be so prosperous. “
Hu Xianxian got up and poured a glass of water by himself, "Mother, it's true that this Che family is treacherous and domineering, but these things are not aimed at Hongbin Building, Hongbin Building's reputation is damaged, and we don't open the door to do business." In order to suppress us, the people of the Che family colluded with bandits and thieves, and stole Buddha treasures? If the matter is exposed, their family will be completely finished, and they can't be so risky. “
"And what do you say is going on?"
"I can't tell. Mother, sleep for a while, don't think about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Sooner or later, what should happen will happen, and it's useless to worry about it. “
"What else are you sleeping? I guess it's too late. “
"Huh? When I caught Cheng Haofeng yesterday, it was almost unitary, and I fainted all night? “
"How can you be dizzy for so long? Just take a sip of wine and you'll wake up. As soon as you wake up, you coldly push away the Sanhua who is holding you, and you say that you are going to save ...... Save the third senior brother...... It scared the hell out of us. “
"Really? I don't remember at all. “
"Alas, thanks to the third uncle's affairs, there are many things, and there is a way. When they all thought that you were evil and didn't dare to pull you, the third uncle asked the second fat and the big cow to hold you, saying that you were mad and mentally disturbed because of your heart disorder. He asked Sanhua to invite Mr. Kang, and when Mr. Kang came, he said that it was fortunate that he was invited in time, and if your heart is completely messed up, you will have to become crazy. “
Hu Xianxian's heart was warm and sour, "The children of the third uncle can be filial, and he would have been allowed to go home to enjoy Qingfu a long time ago." He is not worried that our mother and son are only in Hongbin Building, and it is better to say that we have hired him over the years than that he has helped us. “
Aunt Hu said, "Isn't it? And Mr. Kang also helped us a lot. He only took the money for the tranquilizer and waived the outpatient fee when he came to save you today. Before you woke up, your legs kept kicking, and Mr. Kang held down your foot to try to put a silver needle on the bottom of your foot, and you kicked him! “
Hu Xianxian laughed softly, "No wonder I felt that someone was scratching my foot in a daze." “
Aunt Hu patted her on the shoulder, "You can still laugh?" If Mr. Kang hadn't pricked a few stitches in the soles of your feet and let Sanhua pour you tranquilizers, would you have come to your senses? “
Hu Xianxian helped Aunt Hu up, "Mother, let's go downstairs for breakfast." I can't sleep anyway, so it's better to pack up earlier and prepare to greet guests. “
Aunt Hu followed her downstairs and said as she walked, "There are no guests who need to be greeted, after you fainted yesterday, most of the guests left, the master and servant of the Du family are still living, and Steward Zhou and Bian Caiban of the County King's Mansion are still there because they haven't bought the things they need." “
The mother and daughter went downstairs, and she helped her mother sit down first, and then went to help Sanhua serve pickles and gruel. After setting up breakfast, the people of Hongbin Building sat around and chatted while eating.
Hu Xianxian said, "Third uncle, you and Er Fat take care of the store, and don't accept new customers." Sanhua, you have many acquaintances in the city, so help Steward Zhou inquire about where the scarce things they want are sold. Brother Niu, in addition to the kitchen, you also take care of Miss Du and them. “
Aunt Hu stopped her chopsticks, "Xianxian, you arranged it like this, are you going out?" Don't think there's much to do? “
"Mother, some things have to be understood."
The third uncle said, "Xianxian, do you want to go and see the arrested Cheng Daochang?" It was time to go, anyway, he helped us get some guests. “
Sanhua put the bowl down, "What Dao Chief?" Obviously a big thief. He brought in a guest to thank him, but he asked for thirty taels of silver from the young lady. He helped us get a commission of three hundred taels of silver from the Heavenly Merchant, but after a while, he transferred the work to Ye Zan. Hongbin Building was lively for a while, and he didn't make any money. “
Hu Xianxian smiled at Sanhua, "I know you mean well, but I went to see him to ask him something." “
The third uncle said, "You just go, and I will take care of them." “
Er Fat said, "When he was arrested, I looked a little like I was afraid that Miss would be arrested again and beat up, he didn't want to implicate Miss." With such high kung fu, he will definitely escape on the road, right? “
The third uncle knocked on the second fat head, "What are you guessing?" ”
Aunt Hu put down her chopsticks heavily, "What about him?" Xianxian, you are not allowed to go. ”
"Mother...... I don't know the situation if I don't go, what if he is wronged? ”
The third uncle looked out and let Hu Xianxian go. He said to Aunt Hu, "It's useless for you to stop it, Xianxian is that kind of character, if she doesn't go to see Cheng Daochang, she may not be able to feel at ease for the rest of her life." ”
As soon as Hu Xianxian went out and saw the coachman yesterday, he called his car.
"Miss, where are you today?"
She got into the car and said, "Let's go to the cell." My surname is Hu, little brother, you can also tell me your name, easy to call. “
The driver said, "Okay, my name is Bolt." Miss Hu, are you going to see that thief? “
"How do you know?"
"Yesterday it was all over the city, can I not know?"
The two of them arrived at the yamen first, and when Lao Zhu saw that Hu Xianxian was coming, he hurried over and pulled her aside, "Girl, what are you doing here?" Come and see the thief? Silly girl, I don't think there's any evidence that you're harboring bandits, what are you doing here? “
Hu Xianxian said softly, "I'll just ask him a few words, and I won't delay time." “
Lao Zhu glanced at the bolt of the car, "You let the coachman wait here, and I will lead you to walk, the cell is a mile away from here, not far away." However, the watchman in the cell is a money-only master, so you have to have money ready. “
Hu Xianxian said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhu, I'll invite you to drink when you're done." “
Lao Zhu waved his hand, "No need to please, a little person like me has to avoid suspicion of these things, and if you want to be caught above, something may come out." When your grandfather was in charge, I was still a little Hanako, and when I went to beg for food, he used a clean bowl to serve me food every time, and let me sit in the corner next to Hongbin Building to eat, he was afraid that I would be robbed of food by other Hanako when I was young......"
Lao Zhu choked up, and Hu Xianxian also had a sour nose and tears when he thought of his grandfather.
They talked all the way to the prison gate, Lao Zhu found the cell boss and said some good things, Hu Xianxian handed him three taels of silver, the cell head took the silver and said, "It's not that I don't let you see him, I can't see him." “
Lao Zhu said with a smiling face, "It's not up to you to decide what is going on in this cell?" “
The cell boss took the silver, "Yes, for Lao Zhu's sake, I'll give you the news." It's not that I won't let you see that thief, it's that he robbed the prison and took him away last night, how can you see it? “
Hu Xianxian asked rhetorically, "Prison robbery? Take him? “
Lao Zhu took away the stunned Hu Xianxian, and when she returned to the yamen, Lao Zhu urged her to go back quickly. She got into the car, and the car went to Hongbin Building, and she told the bolt to stop.
"Miss Hu, aren't you going back?"
"Don't rush back yet. Go to the north gate, go to Gaojia Village. Hu Xianxian figured out a little clue, she was going to find the Gao brothers, she wanted to inquire about the situation from them, she felt that if she couldn't understand the truth of these things, she couldn't get rid of bad luck.
As soon as he heard that he was going to go to the north gate, he sighed and said, "Miss Hu, I will carry you again today, I won't dare to carry you in the future, and I will run to the unfortunate place." “
