At this time, the old drunkard master on the side said to Qin Tai: "Tai'er, this person is a little weird. It was clearly an elderly woman, but she was still wearing a young woman's clothes. However, this outfit should be her own, although it is a little shabby, but it fits well. Could it be that this woman has a brain disease? You have to be careful. "Since Qin Tai's wife Zhan Xiaoxiao recognized the old drunkard master as a godfather, the old drunkard master called Qin Tai "Tai'er", except when handling cases, the old drunkard master rarely called Qin Tai "adult". After Qin Tai was dismissed, the old drunkard master simply called Qin Tai like this, and Qin Tai did not complain at all.

Qin Tai's uncle Qiu Min on the side also said: "Nephew, there is really something wrong with this woman. But if it's a brain problem, I don't know. But there was something really wrong with her skin. Do you think her skin doesn't look like the corpse you saw when you first came to the autopsy? Her skin was wrinkled so noticeably that it seemed to have grown all at once. If the skin becomes wrinkled over time, there will be no such rash. And this woman's hair is falling out too quickly, if this is the case, this woman is at least a hundred years old. But judging by the wrinkles on her skin, she was about eighty years old at most. Besides, her skeleton did not mean to be curved at all, and it did not look like the appearance of an elderly woman at all. Uncle, I've been doing it for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of thing. Looking at this woman's hair, she is at least more than a hundred years old. Looking at her skin, she is also seventy or eighty years old. But looking at her bones, she is not even forty years old. Looking at her dress, she looks like a big girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet. This woman is very problematic. Really have to ask well. ”

The lady of the Qiu family also heard her husband's words and tried to inquire about the origin of this woman. Unexpectedly, as soon as this woman spoke, she almost didn't scare everyone. Qin Tai hurriedly asked Zhan Xiaoxiao and the Qiu family lady to help this woman to meet the inn, and Qin Tai and the others followed the inn as if they were leaving the ground. Qin Tai walked behind safely with his son in his arms, and he didn't say anything along the way. The old drunkard master couldn't help but drink the wine in the jug and gulped it down. Qiu Xiaoqiu was worried that this uncle was drunk, so he could come up and help the old drunkard master. Qiu Min has been staring at this woman, not because of this woman's beauty, but about the appearance of this woman.

This woman said a few words at the Bao Zheng Ancestral Hall, which attracted everyone's special attention to her. "My name is Cheng Amei, I am 18 years old this year, and I am from Fujian. On behalf of everyone, I came to congratulate the Lord and Mrs. Ding. There were 10 men and 10 women, and 20 delegates. But something happened on the way. I escaped, only to find that I was too old to walk. I had no choice but to hide here and pray for Grandpa Bao to avenge us. I finally waited for the adults and begged them to avenge us. ”

An eighteen-year-old girl quickly turned into an old woman, it seems that the other party is not only vicious, but also really weird. Since these people are here to congratulate Qin Tai's family, it is not an idle matter. Besides, even if this is not Qin Tai's business, Qin Tai will have to take care of it if he encounters it. These people, for whatever reason, are a group of heinous bad people who have taken off a girl's bright future without permission and hurt the lives of so many people. Qin Tai secretly made up his mind to avenge these innocent people.

Qin Tai returned to the inn with everyone, and according to the division of labor agreed in advance, everyone immediately entered their pre-determined posts and stood by. Because Cheng Amei, who doesn't know whether it's true or not, is a woman, no matter how old she is, no matter how old she is, she is still a woman. Therefore, the only two women in Qin Tai's group, Mrs. Qin Tai Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qiu Min's mother-in-law, the Qiu family's mother-in-law, of course had to stay with this Cheng Amei. To investigate the case, of course, Qin Tai and the old drunkard master also have to stay, so that they can know the ins and outs of this matter as soon as possible. Originally, Qin Tai's uncle Qiu Min was supposed to be guarding outside with his son Qiu Xiaoqiu, but Qiu Min was too interested in this woman, so he also asked to listen together. For this reason, the responsibility of guarding and guarding can only be done by Qiu Xiaoqiu alone, fortunately, he is a half-old child and will not attract the attention of outsiders. Zhan Xiaoxiao handed over her son to Qiu Xiaoqiu safely, the purpose was to better assist her husband Qin Tai to find out the true identity of this woman with the Qiu family's lady. However, Zhan Xiaoxiao is also selfish, she is worried that her son will be afraid when he sees this woman, and there will be psychological shadows. In fact, this is not a problem, at this time, in addition to crying, children almost don't even know their own mothers, how can they know how to recognize people? The reason why Zhan Xiaoxiao feels that her son is very close to her is that she often breastfeeds her child, and the child becomes dependent on her. In this arrangement, Qiu Xiaoqiu hugged his cousin Qin Ping'an, frolicking outside the door while paying attention to the movements around him.

In order not to attract everyone's attention, Qin Tai settled in this inn in the name of Qin Baoguo, a Jin merchant. Except for the owner of this inn who knew a little truth, no one else knew Qin Tai's identity. The reason why the shopkeeper knew Qin Tai's identity was mainly because the shopkeeper was also the head of the Jin Chamber of Commerce in the Kaifeng area. For this reason, Qin Tai's true identity and the secret letter of the President of the Church can only be known. However, the shopkeeper himself admired Qin Tai, a little fellow, almost to the point of admiration. Therefore, the owner of the store tried his best to give Qin Tai and his party convenience without attracting everyone's special attention. Even in this case, Qin Tai and his party were not very satisfied with the living environment, but everyone knew that this was normal. After all, this is outside, whether it is food or living, of course it can't be compared with home. At that time, whether it was the Jin Shang's own regulations or the environmental restrictions at that time, except for officials who went to other places, few people went out with their female dependents. At that time, even men were tightly controlled, and it was even more impossible for women to walk outside for long periods of time. This is also one of the reasons why Zhan Xiaoxiao disguised herself as a man and stayed by Qin Tai's side as a guard. If Zhan Xiaoxiao wasn't dressed as a woman, if Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't stay with the official Qin Tai, Zhan Xiaoxiao would hardly be able to move around. Now, no matter how much the owner respects Qin Tai and wants to take care of Qin Tai and the others secretly, he can't open a room for Qin Tai and his wife to live alone. At that time, inns generally did not accept female guests, and even if they did, men and women were not allowed to live together. At that time, the social household registration system was not perfect, so it was not possible to determine the exact relationship between men and women, so some men relied on the abduction and trafficking of women to make a living. In order to avoid unnecessary lawsuits, ordinary inns require female guests to live alone even if they receive them. So Zhan Xiaoxiao lived with the child in a small room with the Qiu family's lady, which was not only independent but also a bit remote. Qin Tai, the old drunkard master, and Qiu Min's father and son lived in one room, which was taken special care of by the shopkeeper. In order to make Qin Tai live relatively comfortably, and in order to keep Qin Tai's identity from being revealed, the owner of the store gave the four of them a small separate room under the pretext that Qin Tai was a businessman with status.

Originally, Qin Tai could take this woman to a small independent room where Zhan Xiaoxiao lived, which was not only relatively independent and quiet, but also easy to monitor. But Qin Tai didn't do this, and everyone in the group understood this truth, and even Qiu Xiaoqiu knew that it was irrational to do so. First, it was where the female guests lived. Whether it's in or out, it will attract everyone's attention. Second, Zhan Xiaoxiao was a middle-aged woman and a young woman with children when they moved in. Now that there is an old woman, of course it will be noticed by people, and it will even cause everyone to discuss. This is not conducive to hiding secrets, nor is it conducive to low-key actions. Third, if Qin Tai and these men all go to the small room, they will have a bad reputation for the Qiu family lady and Zhan Xiaoxiao, and it will make outsiders think that Zhan Xiaoxiao and the Qiu family lady are not serious women. If this is the case, Zhan Xiaoxiao and the enemy lady will not only be annoyed, but will also be pointed at. Qin Tai is an upright person who cares very much about his reputation and that of his family, so he will not do this. Fourth, although the room where Qin Tai lives is not easy to manage in the courtyard, it is because of this that it will not be noticed too much. Besides, in the guest room where the man lives, it is normal for some unknown women to appear, and it will not cause too many people to talk about it. Anyone who often works and does business outside knows that it is normal for men to look for flowers and willows outside, which not only relieves physical needs, but is also a way to dilute homesickness. For this reason, the Jin merchants did one thing very smartly, that is, to arrange some brothels within the development scope of the Jin merchants. The women in the brothel are not necessarily from the West, but they all listen to and speak the West. Usually these brothels entertained Jin merchants and other businessmen, but on the first and fifteenth days of each month, there were more important people who would spend the night with the men under the Jin merchants. This is an unwritten rule among the Jin merchants, as long as the guy reaches a certain age or does a good job, the Jin merchant pays the guy to be merry and happy. It's a reward, and it's a way to stabilize your mates' emotions. At that time, the status of merchants was low, and they had been away from home for a long time, so everyone was resistant. For the sake of everyone's business, in order to stabilize the situation, a Jin merchant first made this kind of thing. Soon after, everyone found out that this Jin Shang's men were more attentive and relieved than the others, so they followed suit and found that this was really effective. It is definitely worth spending a small amount of money to stabilize the situation and calm the mood of the people under it. Later, the Jin merchants proposed to set up some brothels near the Jin Chamber of Commerce in various places, which could not only solve the internal problems of the Jin merchants, but also develop a career. However, the Jin merchants had strict rules that all women in brothels should not only be clean, but also absolutely voluntary. Not only do we not accept women from unknown sources, but we also do not accept women who are trafficked. The women in the brothels under the control of the Jin merchants were mainly women who could not survive in the disaster area, and after the Jin merchants gave them a way to live, they became prostitutes of their own will. There are also some official prostitutes bought by Jin merchants from the government, and these women are all family members of officials who have committed crimes. These people were sold as prostitutes, and they could never redeem themselves as good citizens. After the Jin merchants bought them, they dealt with them secretly, and secretly protected those who had something to do with the Jin merchants, and sent the rest to the brothel as prostitutes. And those women who were protected, some of whom were reported dead soon after, were actually just changing identities and continuing to live freely. There are also those who ostensibly live like prostitutes in brothels, but in fact everything is the same as in the past, except that they have no freedom. There are also some Jin merchants, after arriving in other places, they will also find some prostitutes to do business. So it's not unusual for everyone to see women entering and exiting guest rooms at the inn. This kind of thing is already commonplace even for Qiu Xiaoqiu, and of course outsiders will think the same.
