Chapter 32: Evil is rewarded
The person who kidnapped Song Lanzhi can not alarm anyone to come and go, and it is impossible to walk through the main gate openly, so someone in the house must have gone out last night.
Song Ge Lao was already a little frowning in his heart, and waved his hand, "Search!" ”
After a while, she found a silver hairpin that was still stained with blood in the crack from the maid daylily room serving Song Lanzhi, and she looked at the silver hairpin left by her mother with a pale face, and finally bowed her head and confessed.
Song Ge blew his beard and glared at him in an old-fashioned manner, "Why are our Song family sorry for you, you actually want to do this!" ”
Daylilies cried and laughed, "Is there anything sorry for me?" She first stretched out her hands, everyone was puzzled, and then looked closely and saw that her palms were full of small fragments of punctured wounds, and then she rolled up her sleeves again, her thin arms were full of bruises, and she sneered, "Do you want to see it again?" I still have a wound on my back from a shard of porcelain from last night. Heh, this is the Miss Song family praised by everyone, and when she closes the door, she is a cheap person who can only take the maid to get angry, and she is ......a cheap person."
The unfinished words were blocked by the servant who waved his hand forward from the butler, and then dragged him out of the courtyard.
When Mu Lingkong and Meng Ruyue got up in the morning, they heard that a little maid had been killed in Song Ge's old mansion. While eating breakfast, she asked Meng Ruyue, "What is the so-called matter?" ”
"I heard that she was beaten by Song Lanzhi, and she held a grudge, so she took advantage of her lack of spare silver hairpins and pierced a few holes in Song Lanzhi's body! I knew that Song Lanzhi, this woman, was not as harmless as she looked on the surface, she was yin and bad. ”
After breakfast, they cleaned up and went home.
Back in Qingshui Courtyard, the house was cleaned up in an orderly manner, Mu Lingkong raised his eyebrows and asked the little maid on the side, "Qingli is back?" ”
The little maid shook her head, "Sister Qingli told the slave maid to remember to clean up the house before leaving, but she hasn't come back yet." ”
"Huh?" Mu Lingkong was puzzled, turned his head and asked Dongxue next to him, "Qingli said that she would only take two days off, and then she went to the other courtyard to find us, I saw that she didn't go, and I thought she was going back to the house directly." ”
Dongxue frowned, "Sister Qingli won't postpone it for no reason, something must have happened, can the slave go to her house to find her?" ”
Mu Lingkong turned around and walked out, "It's okay left and right, I'll go with you!" ”
"Ahh Dongxue followed in small steps, "Miss, you, don't go!" The place where Qingli lives is relatively dirty and messy, which is not suitable for people of your status to go. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, lead the way!"
Winter Snow couldn't, so he had to direct the coachman and go to a remote alley in the city.
Qingli's home is in a dirty alley in Cloud Chasing City, this kind of place can be found in any city, maybe just across the street from the wealthy and rich, but there is a world of difference between the two sides of the street, one side may be Zhumen's wine and meat smelly, and the other side may have frozen bones on the road.
The carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and he couldn't go any further, because it was too narrow, so Mu Lingkong wore a hat and walked inside under the leadership of Dongxue.
The alley was grim and dilapidated, covered with moss and stumps everywhere, and smelled of foul smell and decay. On the side of the road were low thatched huts and crooked wooden huts, pitch black, with no light in sight. There were groups of dirty-clad children running by, two passing by looking back curiously, and topless men sitting by the door, looking at them with malicious intent.
Dongxue was terrified all the way, she was afraid that Mu Lingkong would be uncomfortable, and she turned around and wanted to say a few words, but seeing her calm and unsquinting, she swallowed back the words silently.
In fact, Dongxue's worries are redundant, and she has seen a scene that is a hundred times more miserable than this.
I still remember that it seemed to be her birthday when she was six years old, and her father, who had to do a lot of things for her in previous years, secretly took her out of the palace that night, and went to the place where the poor people lived in Yu'an City, some dilapidated and dirty alleys.
She still remembers that her little self was wrapped in a silver fox cloak and held in her father's arms, walking through the dirty ground that could not be covered by snow, looking at the homeless people who were wrapped in thin clothes and shivering on the street, and the children who were competing with wild dogs for food in the filth pile, her big black and white eyes were full of puzzlement, she didn't understand why these people didn't go home to keep warm when it was so cold, and why they fought with dogs for food.
Father Emperor just said in a low voice, "Ah Ling, you see, there are still so many people who are not well fed and clothed at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but think of how many poor people there are in other places in the Northern Underworld!" As an emperor, you can't just listen to the minister's report, you have to go out of the palace gate, see and listen to yourself, understand the people's livelihood, and solve the people's urgency! ”
Therefore, later she often wandered among the people. She had seen old people who were dying because they had no money for medical treatment, thieves who had their legs broken for stealing, and elderly prostitutes who had their stenches abandoned on street corners.
So, everything here is really nothing to her.
Dong Xue walked to the door of a relatively decent courtyard and knocked on the door, and then explained to Mu Lingkong, "Qingli's mother was sick before, and I accompanied her once......
As he was talking, the courtyard door squeaked open, and a woman with a black mole on her side face leaned out, frowning and looking at Dongxue, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Dongxue hurriedly said, "You are Sister Qingli's sister-in-law, I'll look for ......."
Before she could finish speaking, the door closed mercilessly in front of her.
Dong Xue looked at Mu Lingkong at a loss, she pointed to the door and signaled to knock again, Dong Xue had to knock on the door a few more times, "We are here to find Qingli!" ”
The woman shouted through the door, "Qingli is not here, you can go!" ”
Dongxue turned around and said, "Miss, did we miss Qingli, she won't go home!" ”
"Then let's go!" As soon as the two of them turned around, they saw a skinny little girl standing not far behind them, biting her index finger in her mouth, and said crisply, "She lied, Sister Qingli was at home, I heard that she was beaten so badly that day!" ”
Mu Lingkong squatted in front of the little girl, "Then Sister Qingli hasn't left the house?" ”
The little girl tilted her head, "She was beaten so badly, she must not be able to walk, I heard from my mother that her sister-in-law and eldest brother are going to marry her to an old man as a concubine, and all the money has been collected." ”
Mu Lingkong touched the little girl's head, and took out two candies from the purse around her waist, "Take it and eat it!" ”
When he stood up, his face was already sinking like water. Dongxue also heard the little girl's words, and asked helplessly, "Miss, what should I do?" ”
What to do? Of course, it's a robbery!
She didn't stop, walked directly to the door, raised her foot and kicked on the courtyard door, "Open the door!" ”
There was a scolding sound in the courtyard, and the woman opened the courtyard door and scolded, "You want to die, kick the old lady's door, you will lose money!" ”
Seeing that there was another person at the gate of the courtyard, this person was wearing a gold silk flower skirt and a white hat, looking like he was not easy to mess with, and his voice was a few degrees lower, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Mu Lingkong lifted her away, "I'm not looking for you anyway!" ”
