Chapter 123: Mysterious Anonymous Letter
"Madame, you must not have such thoughts!" Mama Li became nervous as soon as she heard Zhao Yishan's words, she had already regarded this woman who she had taken care of since she was a child.
smiled faintly at Mama Li, but Zhao Yishan said: "Mama Li, don't worry, I will never seek death, if I want to seek death, when this leg is broken, I will already seek death...... It's been three years...... Isn't it for me to hang this breath and see when he will have retribution! ”
Mama Li wanted to speak and stopped, and her heart was also very painful, thinking that when Zhao Yishan started, Shen Chengye was still an ordinary small businessman, although he was not so rich, but he was still a well-off family, at that time, Shen Chengye was very fond of Zhao Yishan, but ...... Once there are strong enough interests in front of them, people will lose themselves, Shen Chengye did something that was dishonorable and hurtful, and he became rich overnight, but that kind of thing was not something that Zhao Yishan could bear, so she stopped it many times, even if it was Mama Li, she was not clear about everything, but she knew one thing, that is, in order to make Zhao Yishan unable to stop him anymore, Shen Chengye broke Zhao Yishan's leg with his own hands, and did not allow anyone to ask a doctor to treat her, if not...... How could Zhao Yishan become disabled, and how could a healthy body become a sick seedling?
"No matter what...... Since that time three years ago, Madame, your body has been ......"
Before Mama Li's words were finished, the door of the room was kicked open, and the maids guarding the door were so weak that they fainted, and then the person who kicked the door strode in.
When Mama Li saw that someone had broken in, she shouted loudly that someone was coming, and at the same time blocked in front of Zhao Yishan, looking at the man in front of her with a wary face: "You...... Who are you? ”
The people who broke in were naturally Jimo and Ao, once he found the courtyard where Mrs. Shen was, he secretly lurked, but he didn't expect to hear such words on the eaves, so he knocked out all the people in the courtyard, and then broke into this room.
Mama Li called "coming" several times, but no one came in, and she knew that the next person was likely to have been subdued by this person who broke in, so she blocked in front of Zhao Yishan, and she didn't want to move away at a step: "You, if you want silver......"
"Mama Li." Zhao Yishan, who was on the Luohan couch, stretched out her hand and gently pulled the corner of Mama Li's clothes, "This strong man naturally can't ask for silver, you look at the heroism between his eyebrows, how can he be a shameless thief?" ”
Jimo He raised his eyebrows proudly, and found that the sick and weak woman on the Luohan couch was a very eye-catching and talkative person, if he was a thief, he wouldn't really hurt them after listening to her words, let alone that he wasn't?
"This strong man, I don't know why you came here today?" Zhao Yishan looked at Jimo and Ao very calmly and asked.
Jimo and Ao raised their hands, and let the door behind them "snap" shut, and then did not approach Zhao Yishan, but sat directly on the rose carved seat on the side, which was ...... Jiao Yu Zhen Ke was also sitting here yesterday!
"I'm here for what happened three years ago. Since you are the wife of that old man Shen, you should still be very clear about that matter. "Actually, Jimo and Ao came here to find Jiao Yuzhen, but I heard the conversation between Zhao Yishan and Mama Li just now, so naturally I can't let go of such an opportunity!
Zhao Yishan was slightly stunned with a sickly pale face, and then showed a soft smile: "It turns out that the strong man came here today for this matter." This matter is a secret to the master, but to me...... That's not some unspeakable secret. It's just that if you know, you're afraid that you will be killed, do you want to know the truth of the matter from my mouth? ”
"Of course I want to know the truth." Jimo and Aoying's eyes flashed with a fierce cold light, "In addition, I also want to know if you know about the fire in the house of a family surnamed Huang in Qiming Lane three years ago." ”
Hearing Jimo and Ao's words, Zhao Yishan raised his hand and covered his lips lightly, as if he was very satisfied that the other party asked such a question: "I waited for three years, and finally waited for someone to ask these things...... The day still came. ”
"Then please Madame, please speak carefully." Jimo and Ao raised their eyebrows a little impatiently, he was not a very patient person, Jiao Yuzhen's disappearance had already made him anxious, let alone those things......
"Mama Li, go out, you can't listen to these things." Zhao Yishan looked at Mama Li.
Mama Li was a little hesitant, she didn't want to hear these deadly secrets, but she was a little worried about letting Zhao Yishan be with a strange man.
Jimo and Ao also understood Mama Li's worries, he coughed lightly and said coldly: "Don't worry, I know the gentleman's courtesy." ”
If he really knew what a gentleman's gift was, it would naturally be impossible to break into the Shen Mansion, Mama Li was slandered in her heart, but it was not easy to say it, so she nodded at Zhao Yishan and pushed out of the room.
After seeing Mama Li close the door, Zhao Yishan wanted to use the medicine in her hand as tea to moisten her throat, but she smelled a more bitter smell than usual today, so she still put the medicine in her hand on the small table at the head of the bed: "Then I'll start from the autumn three years ago." ”
Zhao Yishan paused, lowered his eyelashes and began to recall.
Three years ago, Shen Chengye was just a small trader, because he looked five big and three thick, so he had never met any robbers, and the business was also very smooth, his sister Shen was originally a nine-grade petty official Yu Gao's wife, but three years ago Yu Gao was transferred to Tangliao County to be the county commander, and he was promoted to two products in a row, because Shen Chengye gave Yu Gao a sum of silver that he had saved for a long time, and helped Yu Gao buy the officials above and get promoted. After being promoted, Yu Gao was also regarded as a grateful newspaper, so he brought Shen Chengye's family to Tangliao County together, which was a good thing, because although Tangliao County is very small, it is the sparrow that is small and has all kinds of organs, and because it is an important transportation center in the south, the business is also very developed.
Originally, everything was very stable, until the beginning of autumn, Shen Chengye received an anonymous letter......
"Anonymous letter?" Jimo and Ao raised their eyebrows, and suddenly became puzzled, "Who sent it?" ”
"Neither I nor the lord know." Zhao Yishan shook his head lightly, "Although the master is a businessman, he is not very literate, so I also helped him read the letter, and I knew such a terrible thing...... It was a letter that could make the old man kill people for money......"
In fact, three years later, Zhao Yishan still clearly remembers every word on the anonymous letter, and even sometimes dreams back at midnight, and the words on the anonymous letter appear in her dreams like crying blood......
It was a letter of murder for money, the letter said that there was a family surnamed Huang in Qiming Lane, there were always treasures and a lot of silver money in the family, those things were the relics of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and that family was inextricably linked to the Xuanyuan Dynasty. But Shen Chengye is a man with five big and three rough, he has never been satisfied with his identity as just a small trader, so he thought that if he could make meritorious contributions with this, maybe he could also become an official, then there was no need to continue to look at Yu Gao's face!
But Zhao Yishan knew that this was an incredible thing, because if there was really such a good thing, who would have the turn to let Shen Chengye, a person who had just come to Tangliao County, do it? It's a trap, but Shen Chengye doesn't know it.
It was an autumn night, there was a lot of heat in the air, and there was little rain in the autumn of this year, and there was a dry feeling everywhere, Shen Chengye bought a lot of fire folds and fish oil that was expensive and easy to ignite, and should not be extinguished, and took advantage of the night to go to the outside of the Huang family's house in Qiming Lane, and he set a fire, a fire that could not be extinguished.
"The anonymous letter said that the Huang family had treasures and silver coins, why didn't Shen Chengye go looking for it, but just set it on fire?" Jimo and Ao asked a little strangely, the family surnamed Huang is a pair of brothers, this is the person he arranged in Tangliao County, they are all first-class masters, and there are naturally many treasures and silver that he rewarded at home, if Shen Chengye is for money, he doesn't need to set fire at all, which is completely illogical.
"The lord didn't want to set the fire, but when he arrived at the Huang family, he found that there were dead people inside, and he took the silver ticket inside only to find that someone followed him in and killed people, the lord was very scared, his fire folds and fish oil were originally intended to divert the tiger from the mountain and attract the attention of the Huang family, but he didn't expect that in the end it became a tool for setting fire to the house." Speaking of this, Zhao Yishan raised his head and looked at Jimo and Ao in front of him, "And set fire...... It was my idea. Because that day, I followed my master to the Huang family's house. ”
Jimo and Ao were really a little surprised, they didn't think that the sick woman in front of them had actually participated in such a thing back then.
Zhao Yishan smiled faintly, and then shook his head gently: "I don't want the master to be involved in human life, and I am glad that those people will be killed without the master's hands, although I am sorry for the dead people, but if a fire is set on fire, then no matter what the remnants of the previous dynasty or the murder will be gone, and we can get so much silver." But when the fire was set on fire, my lord and I saw a man come out of the wall, covered in blood, apparently wounded. I was scared, but I thought that the fire had been put out, the money had been taken, and the things I could get had been obtained, and I really didn't need to kill them all, so I stopped the master from chasing the man, but the master didn't ...... for a reason."
Zhao Yishan closed her eyes, and the scene of that day was still vivid.
Shen Chengye saw a person who was seriously injured and came out of the wall, so he had red eyes, and casually lifted the leg of a chair that was discarded in a small alley and was about to rush up, Zhao Yishan was soft-hearted, so she stopped Shen Chengye, she thought that she had persuaded Shen Chengye bitterly, and Shen Chengye could go back contentmently, after all, now that the house is burned down and the money has been obtained, no matter how you look at it, it will be a benefit, but Shen Chengye is unwilling, he thinks that if that person has seen them and wants to come back to report to the official, he will die, Then it's better to kill that person, and then drag the body to the yamen and say that it is the remnants of the Xuanyuan Dynasty!
Zhao Yishan grabbed Shen Chengye to death, although stealing things and setting fire are sins, but killing people is even more unsettling to conscience, so she is willing to do all the bad things and is not willing to kill, but Shen Chengye is different, he is ruthless, in order to kill the man, he broke Zhao Yishan's leg with the chair leg in his hand.
The heavy blows fell on his right leg, and Zhao Yishan will always remember the pain and Shen Chengye's swearing.
- You ruined, you're dead!
She didn't die, but her heart died, and then Shen Chengye was worried that she would return to the yamen to go to Gaomi, so he didn't allow anyone to ask her for a doctor, causing her to end up disabled and sick.
"Actually, the master didn't catch up with the man for the first time, I heard that the man ran to a village outside the city in a farmhouse pigsty surnamed Gu to hide, but the next morning was found by the master, and I don't know if that person is really the remnants of the previous dynasty, with some strange letters on his body, the master did not kill him, but handed him over to Lord Yu along with those strange letters, in fact, at that time...... The lord also gave Lord Yu a sum of silver......"
