Chapter 108: The Whistle
Hearing that Wang Qidao was transferred to the Criminal Department for interrogation, Wang did not go out for a whole day. Chen Muzhi went to see her and found that Wang was lying on the bed, like a dead ash of silk, and the plump and pretty young woman before was gone, and she looked more than ten years old.
"It's you......" Wang's pale lips trembled.
"What does Mother want to say?" Chen Muzhi sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her calmly.
"How did you find Jade?" Wang asked in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter. Mother, don't you feel guilty in your heart? The Wang family in Chen Muzhi's eyes is complex and elusive, sometimes he feels that she is no worse than the most vicious stepmother in the world, and sometimes he feels that her love in the past is not like a disguise.
Chen Muzhi saw that she didn't speak, and said: "Yuhong has been following her mother since she bought our mansion, and her mother can be regarded as watching her grow up, but she can be allowed to be ruined by Wang Qidao, mother, are you really not guilty?" β
Wang said: "She could have accepted her fate and become a concubine." β
"Concubine?" Chen Muzhi sneered, "Mother has been a noble lady for a long time, and I don't know how pitiful these slaves are." Even if she accepts her fate, how many days can she be a concubine? Does Wang Qidao have a concubine? Is he unwilling to take a concubine, or is the concubine unable to survive in the Wang family at all, or both? Which of you has thought for others and left a way for others to live? β
Wang sighed lightly: "The matter has come to this, Mu Zhi, you don't have to be so indignant for a maid, Wang Qidao also went to the Criminal Department, whether he can come out of the house, no one knows." And Yuhong did not die, Wang Qidao's price is big enough. β
To put it so lightly.
The life of a slave really can't be considered a life in their eyes.
Even, not only slaves, but also the lives of others are not considered fate in their eyes, only themselves and their families are honorable. For the sake of one's own interests, everything else can be sacrificed and deserves to be sacrificed.
Such a person has been the main mother of Anguo Mansion for six years.
Chen Muzhi said sadly: "Pay the price? Wang Huiyin, you have long lost your heart and liver, and you don't deserve to be my mother again. Without your cooperation, how could Wang Qidao be so unscrupulous and greedy for my country's public property? Bullying the children of my government and poisoning my only adult sister to death, you came to tell me the price? Wang Qidao was cut by a thousand knives, and he deserved the end. This is not called the price, it is called the end! β
Listening to Chen Muzhi call him by his name, the Wang family also knew that it was irretrievable.
She said calmly: "Whether you are greedy for the family property of the Guogong Mansion, you have the government to verify it, and it is useless for you and me to say it." You say he killed your sister, but I don't know what evidence there is. β
Chen Muzhi guessed that the Wang family might really not know about Wang Qidao's murder of Chen Muxi, and she always didn't want to believe it if she didn't see it with her own eyes.
"Then let's wait for the government to verify. You lure the wolf into the house, and you only cry when you see the coffin. β
With that, Chen Muzhi turned around and left, never looking back again.
Coming out of Jiashi Hall, Chen Muzhi did not return to Ning Xiangju. She called Zheng Chu and immediately went to Jingzhao Yamen, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, to take Yuhong out.
She didn't dare to send Yuhong to the Qin family's mansion again.
Jiang Dai is now a cloth dressed in a cloth that has been washed with lead, and he takes care of Qin Yinian wholeheartedly. Chen Muzhi heard Hu Dazhuang say that since Miss Jiang Dai came, Yuhong's work has been less, but her mental state has deteriorated.
Chen Muzhi was very worried about Yuhong. Yuhong is a person without a future, and seeing Qin Yinian and Jiang Dai go through hardships and finally be able to stay together is a very strong stimulus to Yuhong. If Wang Qidao can't get the end he deserves, Yuhong will almost survive.
Now that Wang Qidao has finally been sent to the Criminal Department, Chen Muzhi is worried that Yuhong will not be able to support it. But it is not convenient to go back to the Guogong Mansion, after all, Yuhong went out of the Guogong Mansion, and there is a Wang family at home, I am afraid that she will touch the scene.
Thinking about it, only the Zheng family can go, and the uncle and aunt Guan are the most understanding people, and they will definitely be able to settle Yuhong well.
So Chen Muzhi said to Zheng Chu: "Go to Zheng's house." β
But Zheng Chu didn't move.
He walked a few steps away and left the carriage, apparently unwilling to let Yuhong in the carriage hear.
"Miss, the Zheng family can't go." Zheng Chu said in a low voice.
Chen Muzhi was stunned: "Why?" β
"The master of the Zheng family is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Yuhong sued Wang Qidao, and Dali Temple will be tried together with the Jingzhao Prefect. At this time, it is really inappropriate to take the complainant to Shaoqing's house. β
Chen Muzhi suddenly realized, and suddenly felt that he was really inconsiderate.
Fortunately, Zheng Chu reminded him, otherwise he would bring big trouble to his uncle.
"That'...... Isn't there nowhere to go? β
Zheng Chu groaned for a moment and said, "There is one person, who must be able to place Yuhong." β
"Who?"
"Prince Yi's Prince's Mansion."
"Him?" Chen Muzhi was stunned, the long night road he walked with Wei Xu last night seemed to be right in front of him.
Zheng Chu said: "I believe that in the future, only the prince can do this." β
Chen Muzhi looked at Zheng Chu, since he knew that Zheng Chu was a disciple of Mr. Guanyu, he had a trace of indescribable mystery in Chen Muzhi's eyes.
"You're the one who keeps your cousin, so ...... And the son is familiar with it, too? β
Zheng Chu arched his hand: "It's not ...... Get acquainted with it. β
Although there were still many doubts in his heart, Chen Muzhi still nodded: "Where to find Shizi?" β
Zheng Chu said: "I know how to contact the people of the world. β
"Your cousin taught you too?"
Zheng Chu nodded.
But Chen Muzhi noticed that the nod was not very firm.
Zheng Chu took out a whistle from his body and blew it lightly a few times. The sound of the whistle was very good, like a bird's song, if Chen Muzhi hadn't seen him blow it with his own eyes, he would definitely think that there was a small bird flying nearby.
As soon as the whistle fell, there were two nice chirps on the street corner, and then they disappeared without a trace.
Chen Muzhi was moved and said in a low voice: "It's so scary, why do you feel that the street is full of your people?" β
Zheng Chu blushed and corrected: "Miss, it should be said that our people." β
The implication is that Chen Muzhi is also one of them.
"Our people ......" Chen Muzhi gently touched the taste of these four words. How can you faintly feel that the core of this "us" is not the carriage and Zheng Chu's cousin Cunxi, but like Wei Xu, who rarely shows up and is always as gentle as jade?
Zheng Chu said: "Let's go to the quiet place on the corner and wait, there will be an echo soon." β
Chen Muzhi spread his hands: "Show me the whistle?" β
Zheng Chu's face turned red again, this red-faced ghost, usually a face never changes its expression, but today it has been red a few times.
But Miss Muzhi wanted to see it, and he didn't dare not give it, so he took out the whistle again, spread it in his palm, and handed it to Chen Muzhi.
A small whistle, less than an inch long, only half the thickness of a finger, pottery, carved with exquisite patterns, the pattern is fresh, not like auspicious clouds, not like petals, but a little like a word.
But Chen Muzhi didn't recognize it.
After all, it was something that people put in their mouths to play, and Chen Muzhi didn't reach out to take it. He only nodded and praised: "I didn't expect it to sound so good, and I'll ask my cousin for one when I go back." β
In an instant, Zheng Chu's face became a little strange.
"Won't my cousin give it to me?" Chen Muzhi said again, "I won't blow it around, besides, the prince said, you can find him if you have nothing to do, you should always talk and count." β
Zheng Chu didn't dare to answer. He was sure that as long as Chen Muzhi wanted it, Wei Xu would definitely give it.
But he was really afraid that Chen Muzhi would be a musical instrument to blow, and someone would be busy to death.
After a while, sure enough, a man in black rode a horse and galloped over, and when he saw Chen Muzhi and Zheng Chu waiting on the side of the road, he immediately turned over and dismounted, but he didn't salute, only asked, "What's the matter?" β
Chen Muzhi recognized this young man in black, and when he saw Wei Xu several times, this young man followed Wei Xu with an indifferent face.
"Sure enough, it's the son of the world!" Chen Muzhi was shocked, it seems that this whistle really works.
When the young man heard her say this, he couldn't be more indifferent, and arched his hand and said, "It's hard to get under the nine." β
"Kujiu......" Chen Muzhi looked at him, "You should smile more, don't be like Zheng Chu." Your name is bitter enough, you can no longer wear a bitter gourd face, it will be even more bitter. β
Zheng Chu: What's the matter with me, why do you want to take me again?
Ku Jiu turned to Zheng Chu: "Call me urgently, what's the matter?" β
Zheng Chu pointed to the carriage: "There is an important person in the carriage, a girl, who should be placed in a proper place." β
Ku Jiu didn't ask who it was, only nodded: "Understood." Is it Miss Chen's person? β
"It's very important......," Chen Muzhi just wanted to say "a very important witness," but suddenly stopped and changed his words, "Very important good sister, find a safe place to stay for a while." β
shouted Ku Jiu aside again, and said in a low voice: "My sister has a rough life, I am afraid that someone will harm her, and I am even more afraid that she will hurt herself, so I must have a good life." β
Ku Jiu was expressionless: "Miss Chen, don't worry, you will definitely be well settled." β
With such a young man and such an expression, why is he so similar to Zheng Chu? Could it be that Mr. Guanyu's two disciples, Shizi and Zheng Cunxi, received one by one?
Chen Muzhi was a little dazed.
Turning around and walking to the car, she said goodbye to Yuhong, and when she lifted the curtain, she saw Yuhong in tears.
"Miss, you say...... Am I a sister? β
It turned out that she heard.
Chen Muzhi really felt pity for her, and said with a smile: "When you came out of the Zhuangzi, I tore up the deed of sale, you are a free body, we have experienced so many things together, and it has long been the love of little sisters." β
Yuhong leaned over, grabbed Chen Muzhi's hand and cried: "Miss, don't worry about me, I won't hurt myself, never." I'm still waiting to see the beast being tortured, waiting to see the head of the man fall to the ground! β
This is said decisively, Chen Muzhi believes.
"They are also people I trust, they will take care of you, you take care of yourself these days, don't think about anything else."
He said to Zheng Chu again: "You guys go over, I'll go home by myself." β
Yuhong nodded tearfully and gently lowered the curtain.
Chen Muzhi watched Ku Jiu and Zheng Chu leave, and the doubt in his heart became bigger and bigger.

Dajiang Building, the shopkeeper is talking to the guy.
"The guests of the fifth and sixth suites are going to settle the bill again."
When the shopkeeper heard that it was No. 5 and No. 6 again, he was also annoyed: "I have never seen such a dead-faced person, obviously I have no money, and I have to pretend to be garlic, and it takes a lot of effort to settle the bill every time." β
The guy smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, you're wrong." This Mrs. Wang and Miss Wang are really not people who have no money, these two have money, but they are reluctant to spend it! always pointed out that there were debts owed here, and the Anguo Mansion couldn't look past it, so they would come over to settle the accounts for them, so they squeezed out little by little, but they didn't settle it all at once. β
The shopkeeper saw that there was no one around, and he was happy to say bad things, and said in a low voice: "If I were them, I wouldn't be willing to spend it." You don't know, I heard that her man was arrested and sent to the Criminal Department. β
The guy was shocked: "Ah! Aren't these two miserable? What kind of deep house compound is blowing all day long, you should pray not to punish the nine clans. β
Shopkeeper: "I don't know if I punish the nine clans, I only know that the man in her family offended the Anguo Mansion, and it is said that the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion was killed by him." β
"Ahh The guy was even more shocked, "Miss Anguo Mansion!" The first beauty in the capital! The fiancΓ©e of Prince Yi's house! β
Obediently, this inn guy who ran the hall obviously knows more than the Jingzhao prefect.
The shopkeeper pouted: "Not really." Not to mention that the second lady of Anguo Mansion will not let him go, even Prince Yi's Mansion will not let him go, at this time, he is probably in the prison of the Criminal Department, and he has been filmed more than 500 pieces. β
The guy shook his head: "Tsk, second miss, second miss of Anguo Mansion, that is the person who dares to reach out to stroke even the beard of the sea god, have you heard of the shopkeeper, Prince Yi's mansion held a horse race in front of the battle, everyone is riding a tall horse, this second lady rides a horse that has not grown up, only such a short ......"
The man casually compared the height of a small stool, probably up to his knees.
Extremely exaggerated, anyway.
"Yes, this is such a short pony, maybe it has just been born for a short time, anyway, I heard that as soon as the second lady rode it, the horse flew up, and directly won the championship, and the whole audience was stunned, and the prince was also stunned, and he gave the second lady a golden saddle on the spot. Therefore, if you offend anyone, you can't offend this second lady. β
"Ahem......" The shopkeeper suddenly coughed.
"I heard that Miss Wang upstairs also went, and was directly kicked out by the prince."
"Ahem...... shopkeeper coughed again, "You go to the second floor and have a look, I heard someone shouting." β
"Nobody, I didn't hear it." The guy turned his head in confusion.
When he turned his head, he was scared half to death. Wang Hualan looked angry, standing behind him, that expression could eat people.
The guy reacted very quickly, and before Wang Hualan broke out, he was short and walked with a cigarette, and immediately ran away. I don't know if I went to the second or third floor.
It's also pitiful to leave the shopkeeper, and you have to clean up the mess left by this stinky boy.
solemnly, the shopkeeper asked, "What does Miss Wang command?" β
"Don't dare to take orders, I heard that the next room is not allowed to live, but is there such a statement?"
The guy reacted very quickly, and before Wang Hualan broke out, he was short and walked with a cigarette, and immediately ran away. I don't know if I went to the second or third floor.
It's also pitiful to leave the shopkeeper, and you have to clean up the mess left by this stinky boy.
solemnly, the shopkeeper asked, "What does Miss Wang command?" β
