Chapter 15: Younger Brother

In the carriage, a similar conversation was taking place at the same time.

"The residents of the courtyard were all gathered by someone, as if they were here to witness Hu Aniu's death," Zhao Liusi said to Liu Sheng while thinking, "If Hu Aniu himself wants to gather a crowd to do something, then someone wants to take the opportunity to prove something, or witness something." ”

"Hu Aniu has something to do with what happened to your sister back then." There were only two people there, Liu Sheng was not stingy, and directly told Zhao Liusi everything about Hu Aniu, "Remember I told you that before your sister was about to get married, there were suddenly rumors of Feng Niu's life in the city?" I found a lot of people at the time, and I have been checking where the rumors came from in the first place, and I just found out recently that it was a rumor released by Hu Aniu back then. ”

"So you mean that the man behind him killed him and doesn't want you to learn more from here?" Zhao Liusi immediately came to his senses.

"Hmm." Liu Sheng nodded, "Hu Aniu's mouth is very strict, and he is secretly afraid of something, I spent a lot of effort to pry his mouth open, and at the same time promised to help him fake his death, let him hide in the caravan and leave, and go to the Central Plains to live." ”

"Fake death?" Zhao Liusi suddenly realized, and then pointed at Liu Sheng, "So those people outside were all summoned by you?" ”

"Be quiet." Liu Sheng motioned for Zhao Liusi to be quiet, and then shook his head, "No, I didn't arrange it." I had planned to meet him tomorrow, and when he had finished telling me, I would give him the illusion that he had been trampled to death by a horse while drunk, and then send him away. According to the agreement, he should be careful not to attract the attention of others these days, but who knows, he is really dead today. ”

Zhao Liusi nodded, a little frustrated, "Then it's difficult to find clues now." ”

"It's okay, there's always a way." Liu Sheng was a little calmer than outside, and he patted Zhao Liusi's shoulder, "Do whatever you need to do next, don't worry about things here." I can't go to the study hall for the time being, so I'll hire a literate gentleman for you first to lay a foundation for you. ”

Zhao Liusi originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Liu Sheng's firm eyes, he thought about it and could only bow his head and reply, "Okay." ”

**

When Zhao Liusi returned to the house, Park's mother, Chunxiang and others were crazy, and when they saw her enter the house, they rushed up in a swarm.

"Amitabha, you're fine, it's okay." Mother Park stepped forward and checked Zhao Liusi up and down, and then chanted the Buddha with her hands folded, "I heard that Brother Sheng took you to Xiacheng District, and there were dead people, alas, that kind of pickled place, where can you let a girl's house set foot in." ”

"Something happened to the people under my uncle, and he didn't worry about me coming back alone, so he took me for a trip, it's okay." Zhao Liusi asked Chunxiang to change her clothes, and asked Xiao Man, "What about Xiao Hei?" Are you there? ”

"I just ate something and fell asleep in the house." Xiao Man was in charge of taking care of Xiao Hei, replied immediately, and asked Zhao Liusi, "Do you want me to bring it to you?" ”

"Wait, I'll see it myself." Zhao Liusi replied after a moment's thought.

The reason why she agreed to Liu Sheng on the road was because she thought that she could use Xiao Hei's body to listen to the news, so she was so obedient.

However, it was too strange to pet the cat as soon as she entered the door, and it was not appropriate to fall asleep at the moment, so she decided to endure it first, and after resting for a while, she said that she was tired and wanted to rest.

"You let someone pass the food, I'm hungry." Zhao Liu thought about it for a while, and interrupted to take the opportunity to replenish energy.

Today is running horses and watching people, and she is tired and only eats a small snack, and she is really hungry.

"Okay, you go and pass it on." Park's mother assigned Qiuzang to pass the word, and then while helping Zhao Liusitong with his hair, she asked, "Who died?" What's going on? I was so shocked when I heard you on the spot, I didn't have time to ask anything else. ”

Park's mother is a gossip lover, and it is impossible not to be interested in this kind of news.

At this time, I didn't worry about her safety, so I came to inquire about first-hand information.

"It's nothing, it's just that my uncle has a guy named Hu Aniu, who originally asked my uncle to report to work tomorrow, but he suddenly died today. My uncle was worried about business, so he went around and looked around. Zhao Liusi said indifferently, in order not to worry Mother Park, she deliberately downplayed the matter. But she didn't expect it to be like this, but the comb in Park's mother's hand still fell to the ground in shock.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Liusi bent down to pick up the comb, looked at the wrong look on Park's mother's face, and realized that something was not ordinary.

"Phew, what's this bastard." Mother Park took the comb again, and shook her head while combing her hair, "Brother Sheng has always been shrewd, how can you hire such a person who has no virtue and no skin." ”

"You know her?" Zhao Liusi asked tentatively.

"I don't know him, I know her sister." Park's mother shook her head, and then said, "You know his sister too." ”

"I know that too?" Zhao Liusi was surprised, "Who is it?" ”

"Aunt Qian." Park's mother pursed her lips, but heard Zhao Liusi's "ouch".

This time, it was Zhao Liusi who pulled his hair because he was too surprised.

"Aunt Qian!" Zhao Liusi's voice raised an octave, "He turned out to be Aunt Qian's younger brother." ”

"Ouch, my good young lady, how can this be said loudly." Mother Park hurriedly threw away the comb, covered Zhao Liusi's mouth, and waited for her to sit down before muttering, "This is not a glorious thing." ”

"I mean, didn't they all say before that Aunt Qian doesn't have a family?" Zhao Liusi lowered his voice, and his throat was a little dry.

"Otherwise, how can I say that this man has no character." Mother Park's face was full of disgust, "This person is a scoundrel, Aunt Qian did some unclean business, and the whole family cut off relations with Aunt Qian, so he still has some dealings with Aunt Qian from time to time." Aunt Qian also missed her family at that time, so she was very good to him, so he often haunted around Aunt Qian's house, I have seen it. ”

Zhao Liusi opened his mouth in surprise, and said in his heart, I don't know if Liu Sheng knows this news.

"Isn't that a nice guy? Why do you say he doesn't have a taste? Zhao Liusi asked weakly.

"Heh, if he comes for the sake of flesh and blood, he will be considered a man. But he's not, he's here for the money. Park's mother was full of disgust, "Can you think that someone would pimp their own sister?" ”

"This, this is too ......" Zhao Liusi couldn't speak.

"That's too bad!" Mother Park said categorically, "At that time, he was still young, and he was a young man with clear eyebrows, but he was a good gambler, and if he lost the bet, he would lead the creditor to Aunt Qian and let Aunt Qian repay his debts." also said that whoever sells is not selling, isn't it just a few more times, and it should have saved his brother's life. Aunt Qian took pity on him a few times at first and helped him solve some problems, but later found out his true intentions, and directly drove him to the door, he scolded outside, that foul language......"

"What scum!" Zhao Liusi said angrily.

"Not really. Later, when Aunt Qian entered our house, he came to make trouble again, saying that since he hired his sister, he should give a dowry, and he also opened his mouth widely, and made Aunt Qian angry and jumped into the well. At that time, Mrs. Butler, who looked down on this kind of scoundrel the most, directly ordered someone to beat him out. said that he would not dare to come to the door after seeing him once and beating him once in the future. Mother Park helped Zhao Liusi pull a homely bun, changed into a light robe, and muttered in her mouth, "I haven't heard of him since then, I thought that such an unsuccessful person would have died outside, but I didn't expect to be mixed up in front of Brother Sheng." ”

"The Liu family has a big business, and there are so many people hired at the bottom, how does my uncle know which character is available and which is not good, most of them are kept because they see that they are doing things well." Zhao Liusi said vaguely, and then bypassed the topic.

After eating, he turned a few pages of the book in a fake way, and when it was slightly dark, Zhao Liusi yelled that he was sleepy, and after being served to sleep, he ordered no one to disturb his sleep, and drove everyone out, so he swapped bodies with Xiao Hei and came out of the window.

The area of Liufu is smaller than that of the Zhao family, and Liu Sheng is silent about her, so she has visited most of the places, and she has a very clear picture, and she rushed to Liu Sheng's bedroom after a short time.

Compared with her, Liu Sheng seemed to be much more tired, and seeing that he was tired of changing clothes from the little maid, he knew that he had just come back from the front hall. Seeing him dozing off with his eyes closed while changing clothes, Zhao Liusi felt a little guilty.

Thinking of this cheap uncle, not only to deal with the Liu family's business every day, but also to wipe her ass, she was hesitant to be obedient in the next time.

In this stunned effort, she forgot to dodge, and directly saw Liu Sheng's naked appearance, and subconsciously shouted, "Meow!" ”

"Where did the cat come from?" Liu Sheng, who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating, instantly opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.

"It seems to be the second lady's." The little servant looked at Xiao Hei, who was hiding behind the curtain, and recognized its owner.

Hearing that it was Zhao Liusi's cat, the vigilance in Liu Sheng's eyes unconsciously gave two points, he still stood there and asked the little maid to help him set his clothes, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is it so ugly!" Or is it a black cat? How unlucky. You go find a couple of good ones and send them to her, and replace this one. ”

"Meow meow!" Hearing Liu Sheng say that it was ugly, Zhao Liusi couldn't help but make a few grievances for Xiao Hei.

"Well, the little ones have said it before, but the second lady's maid said that this cat is the second lady's favorite, usually sitting and lying together, no one else is allowed to move, and it is not easy to throw it away." The little guy helped Liu Sheng tie up his clothes, and then he was afraid that Liu Sheng would be unhappy, so he hurriedly found it and said, "If you don't like it, the little one will think of a way to get this cat out." ”

"No need." Liu Sheng glanced at the kitten who took a few steps closer, straightened his clothes with his teeth and claws, and said casually, "Since she likes it, you can take good care of it, don't slack off." ”

"Yes." When the little guy got this, he was also relieved, and lowered his head.

Zhao Liusi didn't expect that he would be so face-saving, so he could make Liu Sheng love the house and Wu, so he shouted happily a few times at the moment, planning to get closer, so that Liu Sheng could also understand the benefits of Xiao Hei. But what she didn't expect was that as she walked in, Liu Sheng seemed to be a little nervous.

"What does it want to do?" Liu Sheng took a step back and stared at Xiao Hei deadly, his voice a little panicked.

"It seems to like you?" The little guy looked at the little black cat, then at Liu Sheng, and said uncertainly.

"Get rid of it!" Liu Sheng gave a cold order, but before the two of them could act, they heard someone at the door, "Master Qiqi, there is a scribe from Xinyan outside who asks to see him, and he said that if he tells you that his name is Yan Ran, you will meet him." ”

"Yan Ran?" Zhao Liusi was taken aback, he came to find Liu Sheng to do something.

When Liu Sheng heard this, he also frowned slightly, but after glancing at Xiao Hei, he said as if he was saved, "Please wait for him in the flower hall." ”

"You watch here, and on the premise of not hurting it, get this cat out, and when I come back, not a single cat hair will appear!" Liu Sheng gave this order to the little guy in a panic, and then left in a hurry.

Could it be that he is afraid of cats? Zhao Liusi raised his little paws, and jumped towards the window without hesitation in the embarrassed eyes of the little guy.

Just kidding, he's not here anymore, he's still eavesdropping.

Of course, I went to the flower hall first.
