Chapter 19: Arrested

It is rumored that since the assassination, Luo Zhengting has been ill in bed for a long time, and the Luo family is naturally managed by Luo Xiaoqi, but since the incident of 'carrying the coffin in the middle of the night', the people in the whole town feel that Luo Zhengting is not far from stepping into the coffin.

Luo Zhengting lived in a small attic that no one cared about, except for a few slightly demented old servants who took care of it, ordinary people didn't come here, Jiang Yuan pushed Luo Xiaoqi to Luo Zhengting's room. Even though the sun was shining outside, the room was still dim and couldn't see people's faces, not even a lit candle, and the only light was the afterglow that came through the doors and windows.

Jiang Yuan pushed Luo Xiaoqi down in front of Luo Zhengting's bed, and faintly pushed the corner where no one was paying attention, silently watching everything. Luo Zhengting's eyes were weak, he looked at the roof with a pale and weak face, lying on the bed motionless, seeing Luo Xiaoqi, there was hatred in his eyes instantly, and he wanted to try to get up and peel the person in front of him alive, but it was difficult for his weak body to raise his hand, he struggled a few times, and finally had to choose to give up. Luo Xiaoqi slanted his mouth and smiled: "Uncle, I've come to see you."

Luo Zhengting naturally didn't believe her nonsense, glanced at it, and said indignantly: "Hmph, you have such a good heart? Ask someone to carry my coffin for me, and curse me to death, but you are really filial."

Luo Xiaoqi looked at the small bowl of soup and medicine on the wooden table next to Luo Zhengting's bed, the medicine was full and he didn't drink it, Luo Xiaoqi picked it up, and stirred the spoon and mixed the medicine a few times: "Uncle, what are these words, I wish you were alive and healthy, how could I curse you, but I can tell you that there was really a person lying on the coffin carried that night, that person is really blessed to be able to continue the name of your old man Luo", she said with an unconscious smile on the corner of her mouth, and changed the topic again: "It's been a long time since I saw you?" Clever second son, oh, I forgot to tell you that he accidentally fell off the rockery a few days ago, fell a hole in his head, and died.

Luo Xiaoqi said the last two words, unconsciously with unusual joy, covered his mouth and giggled: "Look at my filial piety, I will bury your son in your name with confidence."

Luo Zhengting's eyes were straight, and he looked into the distance weakly, as if he had seen the scene before his son's death, half a tear flowed from the corner of his eye, crossed his pale cheeks, and said silently: "My son", it turned out that the person lying on the coffin at that time was Luo Mingzhe, the second young master of the Luo family.

When he came back to his senses after his grief, he pointed at Luo Xiaoqi with a trembling finger: "It's you, it's you."

Luo Xiaoqi stopped laughing and said proudly: "What is Uncle talking about, are you suspecting that I pushed your precious son down", she said with a smug look on her face, and she had already admitted everything.

Luo Xiaoqi stirred the medicine and said, "Uncle, it's time to drink the medicine."

Luo Zhengting was so angry with Luo Xiaoqi: "Phew, who knows if you, a femme fatale, will poison the medicine, you can't do anything if you lose your conscience."

Luo Xiaoqi continued to stir the medicine, and accepted it with a smile: "Lose your conscience, uncle, I just can't leave the bed for you to be sick, where can it compare to the two legs you asked someone to give me waste."

Luo Zhengting's pupils widened, and he choked back into his stomach after he was about to scold, and he had nothing to say. Luo Xiaoqi continued: "My two legs are useless, and it is worth it for you and your son to come and bury them."

These words do not make people think about it, Luo Mingzhe's death is not enough, the hatred in her heart has not disappeared, the smile on the corner of her mouth has never disappeared, and the smile is becoming more and more hideous: "By the way, your eldest son is missing, but Mr. Jiang saw him a few days ago, guess how he is robbing a little beggar for food, hahaha, I am really laughing to death, the eldest young master of the dignified Luo family also has a day when he is willing to fall, who do you say this is due to."

Luo Zhengting didn't have the strength to get angry at Luo Xiaoqi again, and his tears were a few more than before. What Luo Xiaoqi wanted to see was his powerless expression, it was very good that his performance today was very satisfactory to her, so he sank his face: "You just wait here and see."

She won't let Luo Zhengting die, at least watching him half-dead and tortured, it's much more painful than solving it with a knife, she lifted the decoction and threw it on the ground, the potion splashed on the white sheets that Luo Zhengting washed with the broken porcelain, she opened her mouth and said with a slight provocation: "Look at this medicine, it's not poisonous."

He couldn't drink this medicine today, Jiang Yuan, who had retreated to the corner, stepped forward again and pushed Luo Xiaoqi away, he looked at Luo Zhengting who was lying on the bed and struggling in pain, how arrogant the famous Luo family master was in the past, but all the arrogance was wiped out here.

Luo Zhengting noticed Jiang Yuan and didn't say anything, his eyes were more desperate than before. He became a person again, lying with weak eyes, looking at the roof weakly, and shouting helplessly in his heart: "My son".

Shen Yeling paid for the tea of the two, he stepped out of the teahouse, the long-lost northwest wind blew, and he was warmed head-on, and when he calmed down, the thoughts in his heart were inextricably linked, he received Jiang Yuan's whole set of seedlings-fueled offensive, and he was still a little unsure of the difference between Luo Xiaoqi and Luo Yunsheng. But from the previous past to suppress his uncertainty, he tried hard to tell himself that it was possible for Luo Yunsheng to grow into Luo Xiaoqi under that group of heartfelt relatives.

Shen Yeling, the seedling, finally compromised with the latter, treating Luo Xiaoqi completely as Luo Yunsheng, but he didn't feel the ecstasy after finding his niece, on the contrary, he began to empathize with Luo Xiaoqi's pain when he broke his leg, and he blamed himself for where he went at that time.

But it didn't take long for his indignation to find the stone, he had asked for leave for the past few days, and Shen Yeling hadn't seen him for a long time, this time he was a little out of breath when he saw the stone, obviously he ran a lot of places to find Shen Yeling, he didn't wait to give himself a breath out, and continued to say intermittently: "Master, it turns out that you are here, I went to the theater Manager Li and said that you went out, let me find it."

Shen Yeling was puzzled: "What's the matter, what are you looking for me to do?" Don't rush to speak slowly."

The stone listened to Shen Yeling's words, and twisted to calm himself. But in the end, he lowered his head a little embarrassed, fiddled with the corners of his clothes, and said hesitantly: "My father, my father is sick because of my sister's affairs and is bedridden."

"What", Shen Yeling frowned, and hurriedly asked the stone to lead the way to his house: "Tell me quickly, what's going on."

"Tell me what's going on."

Shi didn't know that Shen Ye's reaction was decisive, so he had to take the lead and start talking about the reason why he had asked for leave at home in the past few days, his sister met a warlord's aunt when she sang for the teahouse, and the aunt took her to the house as a guest when she liked her for a while, and was taken by the warlord, and the warlord introduced her to his friend Master Cui.

Master Cui just started to invite Xiuzhu to sing at home, and the reward after singing was more than after singing outside for ten days, so his father became greedy, as soon as Master Cui's car stopped at home and invited Xiuzhu to sing, his father would urge her to go, this time fortunately, Master Cui came to invite him five times, and his father came to urge.

Master Cui directly announced yesterday that he liked Xiuzhu and wanted Xiuzhu to be his aunt, but of course Xiuzhu refused to flee home to vote on her determination not to agree. Commander Cui felt that he had lost face, so he led his troops to Uncle Lou's house overnight to snatch Xiuzhu away. How could Uncle Lou let people snatch Xiuzhu, no matter how much he wanted to have a son-in-law from a rich family.

So he broke his leg in the scramble, he could only shout Xiuzhu's name emptyly, and he also regretted it in his heart, when he was a fan of money, he pushed his daughter into the robber's den.

They have no connections, let alone money to find a relationship, the only thing that comes to mind is the stone master Shen Yeling, isn't he a popular celebrity in Beiping, there must be a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries who praise him, and it should be no problem for him to use some connections to rescue Xiuzhu.

So this kind of thing fell on the errand stone, the stone originally felt that it was his own business, and there was no need for Shen Yeling to get involved and accompany them to wade through this troubled water, so he was a little hesitant to ask Shen Yeling for help.

When Shen Yeling came to Shi's house again, he saw Uncle Lou lying on the hospital bed, he had just asked the doctor to look at his legs, and now he still had plasters on his legs, and he was lying on the hospital bed and complaining as if he was angry.

As soon as he saw Shen Yeling, he felt a burst of ecstasy, thinking that his daughter's savior was coming, but thinking of his daughter's pitiful experience and his incompetent self, he sighed with a sad face, and clenched his hands on both sides of Shen Yeling's shoulders with a crying voice, and every time he said a word, his hand shook it: "Mr. Shen, you have to help me and save my daughter."

Shen Yeling also held his arm with both hands and comforted: "Brother Lou, I have heard about Miss Xiuzhu, don't worry!" Your family is affectionate and righteous to me, and Shen will definitely do his best to rescue Miss Xiuzhu."

With Shen Yeling's guarantee, Uncle Lou was much more relieved, he chatted with Shen Yeling for a few words, and then let Shen Yeling go, and let Shen Yeling find a way to go to Xiuzhu.

Shen Yeling walked on the road, thinking that although he usually avoided Xiuzhu, he must save Xiuzhu as a friend when Xiuzhu is in danger. But now he is not in Beiping, and there are few friends around him who can talk to help.

He was thinking that he seemed to have met Zhang Raoshun, the town guard, today, and his official university in Xunyang might be able to take him to meet this Master Cui and take the money to ransom Xiuzhu back.

He tossed and turned on the street a few times, and finally set off to the home address given by Zhang Raoshun, he was not good at asking for people, so it was a little embarrassing to encounter this kind of thing, he touched the house number, and guessed that he went to Zhang Rao Shun's house.

I saw that the black carved iron door of their house was slowly opened, and a new Ford car drove out of it, with two conspicuous headlights hanging from the front of the car, which looked very magnificent.

Shen Yeling's eyes swept over the car, and saw Zhang Rao Shun sitting in the back seat, and he almost wanted to step forward and be stopped by the messengers who gave way on both sides of the car. He knew that he didn't know how to be polite, but he also struggled to get out, waved his hand and shouted at the car a few times: "Zhang Zhen Guard, Zhang Zhen Guard."

Zhang Raoshun was alarmed, it turned out to be Shen Yeling, who was uninvited, and hurriedly asked the driver to stop, opened the car door and asked, "What's wrong with Ye Ling."

Seeing that it was someone the little young master knew, he hurriedly let go and let Shen Yeling step forward, and Shen Yeling was also anxious: "Zhang Zhenshou, I have something I want to discuss with you." He knew that Xiuzhu's affairs could not be neglected, and it was impossible for a girl to be taken away for a day without incident.

Zhang Raoshun looked at him anxiously, he also had something urgent to do, and the two urgent things collided together, so it was better to do it together, so he moved to the side, made room for Shen Yeling in the car, and said, "Get in the car."

Shen Yeling was not lazy, he didn't waste a second, got in the car and left with Zhang Raoshun.

Zhang Raoshun's urgent matter was that the president of the Peng Chamber of Commerce was shot and died at the door of his own Chamber of Commerce, several police officers were trying their best to arrest the murderer, and chased him for a few streets before they caught a suspicious character, but the suspicious character was actually Luo Xiaoqi's godbrother who returned from studying abroad - Cheng Jiabai.

Zhang Raoshun's originally tight strings were loosened by half, and Luo Xiaoqi's intermediary business of buying murder finally showed his feet, and his slight expression was a little smug when he sat in the car.
