192 The clouds are gloomy
Zhou Mingmu had a little more sorrow in his eyebrows, and as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Zhou Mingyue, who looked panicked, "Brother-in-law, you are back, my sister is gone." Her words were like a thunderclap on the ground, which shocked Zhou Mingmu, and suddenly took her hand regardless of etiquette: "What are you talking about, Dong Xian is gone?" Zhou Mingyue struggled to break free: "Brother-in-law, let go of me and make me hurt." ”
Zhou Mingmu reacted immediately, quickly sent her hand, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Yue'er, I'm too worried about Dongxian, don't be angry." "Why is Lin Dongxian so dignified, isn't he good when he leaves! The kung fu man disappeared in the blink of an eye, how could Zhou Mingmu not be surprised?
Zhou Mingyue's lips pursed, and she said hoarsely: "Brother-in-law, I know you are worried about your sister, and so am I." I'm just waiting for you to come back at the door, and I want to discuss with you, how can I find my sister? The two then went to the house to investigate together, Zhou Mingmu's eyes flashed slightly, there was a smell of incense in the house, it seemed that they had taken Lin Dongxian unconscious and taken away.
You don't have to think about it to know that it was Yi Mingcheng's hand, and he was anxious to get the account book from Lin Dongxian's hand to save his dog's life, as well as the black gauze hat on his head. "Brother-in-law, what do you say we should do now, do you want to report to the official?" Zhou Mingyue cautiously poked his head and muttered, Zhou Mingmu really wanted to laugh a few times, report to the official, it was the people from the government who took Lin Dongxian away, how can you report to the official?
"Brother-in-law, what do you think we should do, brother-in-law, don't go, brother-in-law." Zhou Mingyue didn't get his answer, so he asked. Unexpectedly, he ignored Zhou Mingyue behind him, turned around and left. Soon disappeared, Zhou Mingyue pouted in annoyance, why didn't she pay attention to her, forget it, let's go to Mrs. Zhou and ask her if there is any good way.
"What did you say, Dong Xian is gone?" Mrs. Zhou's mouth opened wide in disbelief, she had only been back for a few days. Youyou and Xue's went away, and now Lin Zhiping was arrested by officers and soldiers and taken to prison, and Lin Dongxian is gone, what is going on? Will it be Zhou Mingyue's turn next, which instantly scared her back into a cold sweat. Mrs. Zhou held Zhou Mingyue's little hand tightly: "Yue'er, you will stay with your mother from now on, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" ”
"Mother, what are you talking about, let's talk about my sister gone, what are you talking about me! Do you want to go to your godfather and ask him to help find your sister, just now my brother-in-law left with a straight face, it's terrible, mother. Zhou Mingyue snuggled in Mrs. Zhou's arms with palpitations, and Zhou Mingmu's eyes just now were indeed terrifying.
"I don't want you to go to him, your godfather will come over, and it's not too late to tell him when he comes, anyway, you just can't leave my sight, you have to stay with me all the time." Yue'er, my mother is such a precious daughter as you, you must not have anything happen, otherwise your mother will not be able to live. Mrs. Zhou couldn't stop flowing down the tears in her eyes as she spoke, and the two lines of tears on her face made Zhou Mingyue lose her opinion in an instant, and nodded busily to promise her not to leave her side.
Wei reclined on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. The two little maids on the ground knelt down to beat her legs, and soon the peace in the room was broken by Yi Mingcheng who walked in, and the maids saluted respectfully. Yi Mingcheng was wearing a pale cyan robe, his dark eyebrows flew into his temples, and a pair of slender Danfeng eyes looked at Wei Shi on the couch with burning eyes, and his face was a little gloomy.
The maids were so frightened that they lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at him. Wei was wearing a gown of lotus and Shu brocade, and at the bottom was a pomegranate skirt embroidered with roses. The big ingot bun on his head is full of beads, and his eyes are hanging down with a pair of emerald earrings, which echoes an emerald bracelet on his wrist. Seeing Yi Mingcheng walk in, Wei waved his hand to signal the maids to leave, and slowly got up and walked to him: "Master, you are back, sit down, Guoxiang just sent Biluochun before the rain to the concubine a few days ago, and the concubine will go to bubble for the master to taste." ”
Yi Mingcheng was able to sit in the position of the county master, and the Wei family made a lot of money, and the Wei family had a straight waist in front of him. A hint of disgust flashed in Yi Mingcheng's eyes, he hated hearing Wei Guoxiang's name from Wei's mouth the most. The Wei family has always threatened him with spending a lot of money on him to repay his kindness, and he has been turning a blind eye to what Wei Guoxiang did in the town all these years, and he has tried his best to suppress him.
Unexpectedly, Wei Guoxiang was bold this time, and he actually paid attention to the head of the Ruyi embroidery workshop. "No need, sit down, I have something to tell you." Yi Mingcheng looked at Wei with a serious face, and Wei chuckled in his heart, could it be that he knew about Wei Guoxiang's disappearance. Or is it really Yi Mingcheng's manipulation behind his back and the arrest of Wei Guoxiang?
"Master, don't be like this, the concubine is scared when she looks at it." Wei's delicate voice came, and in Yi Mingcheng's eyes, he didn't care at all, and slapped it on the table with a loud bang, "Wei, you have been married to Yi Mansion for more than ten years, and I asked myself if I have treated you badly." When my mother was alive, she didn't let you settle down in the morning and dusk, and on the second day after you got married, she handed over the middle feed in the house to you, but what your brother did behind your back, do you know? ”
Wei's eyelids jumped, and it seemed that he really had something to do with Wei Guoxiang. suppressed the worry in his heart, slowly stood up and walked to Yi Mingcheng, and said softly: "Master, the concubine has not seen Guoxiang for a long time. The implication is that he doesn't know what Wei Guoliang has done, Yi Mingcheng looked at the Wei family in front of him, anger erupted from his eyes, and he wanted to burn the Wei family in front of him to ashes.
"It's been a long time since you've seen you, and I remember that your father handed you over to you on his deathbed and made you look at him. I had already told him not to go to the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, but he just turned a deaf ear and colluded with the mountain bandits to kidnap Mrs. Zhou. Didn't he know that Jin Kuiye of the Sanyuan Gambling House recognized Mrs. Zhou's daughter as his goddaughter, and he had repeatedly asked the matchmaker to propose marriage and wanted to marry Mrs. Zhou as his stepdaughter?
Even when I saw Jin Kuiye, I had to give three points of thin noodles, let alone him! I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I've been in town for more than ten years, and I haven't figured out the details of Jin Kuiye, who is behind him, why does he Wei Guoxiang dare to tease him? Yi Mingcheng gritted his teeth and said hatefully, Wei Guoxiang is a dou who can't be helped.
Not long after Wei Shi sat down, with the trembling of his breath, the hand holding the teacup shook slightly, and immediately, with a bang, he saw the teacup fall to the ground, and the broken tea pieces splashed up. A little tea splashed on Yi Mingcheng's robe, Wei hurriedly squatted down, took out a handkerchief to help him wipe it, and was kicked by Yi Mingcheng angrily and fell to the ground.
Wei looked at the angry Yi Mingcheng aggrievedly, got up regardless of the pain, and clutched his robe tightly: "Master, it's all the fault of the concubine, you didn't discipline Guoxiang well, master, you dissipate your anger." When Guoxiang comes back, I will definitely teach him a good lesson. Please also ask the lord to have a lot, for the sake of the concubine's hard work for so many years, let Guoxiang go! The concubine swore to heaven that she would never let him mess around and cause trouble to the lord again. ”
The more Wei said his words, the more Yi Mingcheng felt that something was wrong, leaned forward slightly, bent over, reached out to pick Wei's chin, and said in a deep voice: "What did you say?" Let Wei Guoxiang go? "Master, yesterday Guoxiang and his daughter-in-law sent a letter to the concubine, saying that Guoxiang had been missing for three days, and the concubine thought that the master was angry with him and ...... him" Before Wei finished speaking, he saw that Yi Mingcheng's face was even more ugly, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, could it be that Wei Guoxiang's disappearance has nothing to do with Yi Mingcheng?
"I'm not going to even give you this little face, and I won't do it to your brother without telling you in advance." Yi Mingcheng pursed his lips tightly, sat down and pondered quietly, who would have taken Wei Guoxiang captive? What is their purpose? Damn Aunt Lian, how much effort he spent on her in vain, and doted on her.
But how did she treat him, lied to him and said that he wanted to go to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs, he didn't say a word, just threw down the affairs in his hand and accompanied her. In the end, Aunt Lian disappeared from Zhuangzi. I fascinated him for two days before I slowly woke up. I always felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, I came back and found that the two ledgers in the dark compartment of the study were missing.
Yi Mingcheng realized that Aunt Lian was a poisonous snake lurking beside him, and finally gave him a fatal blow at a critical moment. The most important thing at the moment is to recover the two account books, and find out that it is related to Aunt Lian who is the Lin family, originally thought that if Lin Zhiping was put in prison, their Lin family would definitely hand over the account books in order to save him.
But according to the jailer, Lin Zhiping doesn't seem to know about the account book, so could it be that Aunt Lian didn't steal the account book at all and hand it over to the Lin family? Or someone instructed Aunt Lian to steal the ledger behind her back, could it be the imperial history lurking in the town? Thinking about it like this, Yi Mingcheng's back couldn't help but get wet, and he pursed his lips tightly and didn't squeak for a long time.
The Wei family was anxious, Yi Mingcheng did not take Wei Guoxiang away, so it means that someone else had the idea of beating him, who could it be? Wei hesitated, raised his head and asked, "Master, then who do you think will take Guoxiang away?" Wei Guoxiang is her own brother, and her father held her hand tightly before he died, explaining that she must be optimistic about her younger brother, as well as the century-old foundation of the Wei family, and it cannot be destroyed in the hands of their sisters and brothers, otherwise how will she go to see her father and the ancestors of the Wei family under Jiuquan in the future.
"I don't have a clue, besides, your brother has offended so many people in the town, maybe who took him away to vent his anger?" Yi Mingcheng was not sure who had taken Wei Guoxiang away, so he perfunctory the Wei family. Wei Shi was instantly shocked, stretched out his trembling hand in a panic, and said excitedly: "Master, the concubine begs you, you must find a way to rescue Guoxiang, master, he is the only brother of the concubine." ”
"Okay, don't pretend to me, but I've heard that he has a room outside, and a son of five or six years old, who hides it deep enough. I just don't know if there is something else to hide from us, since you brought the child to the house, take care of it, don't make trouble for me. My yamen still has official business, so I won't be going home for the next two days. After speaking, Yi Mingcheng flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Wei Shi uneasy, and his thoughts were fluttering.
Yi Mingcheng's meaning in and out of his words is that he won't care about Wei Guoxiang, let alone rescue him, how can this be good? She can't sit still, since Yi Mingcheng is unwilling to make a move, then she will find a helper herself. The firmness in Wei's eyes made Mama a little flustered inexplicably, she couldn't do anything to hurt her master for Wei Guoxiang.
After all, Wei Guoxiang is a member of the Wei family, and the Wei family is married to Yi Mingcheng, who is the head of the Yi family, and everything must be considered for the Yi family. Even if she said these words, she was afraid that the Wei family would not be able to listen to them at this moment. Mama could only sigh helplessly in her heart, hoping that God could bless Wei Guoxiang to be safe and sound. It didn't take long for the familiar voice of the housekeeper to sound outside the door, Wei sorted out his sideburns, and looked at Mama, Mama opened the door knowingly, and the housekeeper walked up to Wei and muttered a few words in a low voice.
also took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Wei, Wei's face was cloudy and uncertain, and the grandmother looked at her nose and nose, and she didn't dare to make a sound. The more Wei thought about it, the more angry he became, he slapped the table angrily, hateful, his sleeves swept the teacup on the table, and fell to the ground, and the housekeeper stood quietly without speaking, waiting for Wei's orders.
"Housekeeper, you go and tell your in-laws, I will raise money for her, so that she can wait with peace of mind." Wei gritted his teeth and said, one mouth is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, at this juncture, Yi Mingcheng is not in the house, and she doesn't even have anyone to discuss. After the housekeeper left, Wei told Mama that someone had sent a letter to Mrs. Wei, asking her to gather 10,000 taels of silver tickets in three days, and not to report to the official.
The jade pendant in her hand has been tightly held in her heart, others don't know this jade pendant, she won't forget it. This is a relic left by their mother to their siblings before her death, and she has always worn it on her body and never left her body. Sending this jade pendant is enough to show that Wei Guoxiang is in their hands, and the 10,000 taels of silver tickets must be raised and handed over to Mrs. Wei. Wei Guoxiang is still alive now, and she is at ease.
The reason why Mrs. Wei sent someone to tell her was not only because she was Wei Guoxiang's own sister, but also because all the shopkeepers of the Wei family's shop only recognized Wei Guoxiang's sister and brother, not Mrs. Wei. Even if Mrs. Wei went to the shop to ask for money, no one would pay attention to her. "Madam, now the slave maid will go to the embroidery room and the money house to find the shopkeeper to raise money." Mama took the initiative to ask for help, Wei believed in Mama's personality very much, but she was still not at ease with 10,000 taels of silver tickets.
After thinking about it, Wei decided to go out of the house in person to go to the embroidery room and the money village to find the shopkeeper to raise money. In addition, she was going to see Yi Jing, and she hadn't come back since she returned to the door. I don't know how her life is, Tian Yuanqing is good to her? I hope that at this juncture, Yi Jing will not make any mistakes. and the child in her womb, Wei became more and more worried.
