Chapter 291: Good luck and bad luck
That night, the upper room of the Zhu family was brightly lit, and the old man Zhu sat on the Taishi chair, raised his hand and slapped the table again, and asked: "Hurry up, tell me the ins and outs of the matter, what happened to him in Jintang?" ”
Zhu Sanjin had red eyes and hesitated a little before telling what happened that day.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, as a party to the case, he couldn't slow down, and he could only say something.
Originally, after the matter was completed, Zhu Jintang took a team of men and horses with more than a dozen wagons of grain, and returned to Cangzhou, where he planned to take a boat and take the waterway, and then return to Dezhou.
After all, it would be faster if he took the waterway, and Zhu Jintang was like an arrow, so he naturally hoped to get home earlier.
"As soon as the court said that there was going to be a war, the common people followed the people in panic. The eldest young master was inevitably in trouble, so he specially invited a team of dart masters and the little ones to come back with food. It was originally foolproof, but I don't know when...... After Xu was out of the city, we seemed to be targeted by someone. Although it is an official road, there are almost no people on the road, and it is very secluded. The eldest young master rode in front, followed by two dart masters, and watched the wind while hurrying, and walked all day without seeing any shadows. Gentleman...... The eldest young master said that he wanted to find a village where he could settle before dark, so the team of people and horses followed suit, but there was a lot of rain on the road, and it was muddy and difficult to walk. It was dark, and everyone couldn't find a suitable place, so they could only find a clean place on the side of the road to rest their legs and feet for a while. ”
Zhu Sanjin said intermittently, but no one interrupted him soundly, and everyone present held their breath and waited for him to continue.
"The night is cold and dewy, and those dart masters carry wine jugs with them, and they want to drink two sips to keep warm. But the eldest young master was not allowed, saying that it was too secluded here, and something would inevitably happen, so everyone was better to stay sober. Those dart masters are all people who like to play tricks, and they don't drink in front of the eldest young master, but they found a place behind their backs where no one can see them, and they all drank a lot. The eldest young master has been paying attention to the movements around him, and always feels that something is wrong, the little one stepped forward to ask, only to hear the eldest young master say, it is too quiet here, although there is no village and no people, but there is not even the sound of animals, it is really strange. When the little one heard this, he only cheered up the boys in the house. ”
When he said this, he couldn't help but choke up again: "About two days later, the little one was really sleepy, so he took a nap according to the half-cut stump." Who knows, it didn't take long for the eldest young master to wake up, the eldest young master calmly opened his face, frowned and said to me, tell everyone to get ready, there are people in the grass opposite to move again. When Xiao heard this, he sat up in fright. The little one looked up and looked closely, and sure enough, he saw a few ghosts and ghosts on the opposite side, and the little one originally thought that he was dazzled, but when those people suddenly rushed out, the little one knew that something was wrong...... As soon as those people came up, they did not rush to grab the food first, but kicked out the fire first. In the dark night, no one could see clearly, but the little one heard the voice of the eldest young master, but there was the voice of the eldest young master, and there were many other voices around, the sound of fighting, the small one was a little panicked for a while, and the small one shouted the eldest young master, but the eldest young master seemed to be entangled by someone, and he didn't reply for a long time. Everything was just a mess, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything clearly. The little one leaned on the grain cart and waited for a long time, only to hear a deep voice sound: "The matter is done, let's withdraw." After that, there was no sound of fighting, only the groans of pain all over the ground, and the small one took out the fire fold and took a look, only to see that the men and the dart master at home were all slumped to the ground, either no movement, or curled up and moaning. The small one looked around, and saw where the grain cart was placed, and it didn't move at all, and the rest of the people were injured and died, but only the eldest young master was missing. The little one later held the torch and looked around, but there was no trace of the eldest young master...... The little one later returned to the same place to wait for news, and in the early hours of the morning, the little one found that someone had posted a note on one of the grain trucks, which read, "If you want people to be okay, leave the grain trucks in place, and go to the entrance of Gaojiagang Village, ten miles to the south, at noon the next day to pick up people." Report to the official and see the corpse! "The little ones were afraid that something would happen to the eldest young master, so they did as they told, and those who were injured couldn't hurry one by one, so the little ones let them wait where they were, guarding the grain carts. The little one went to Gaojiagang Village alone, but he waited for a whole day and didn't see the eldest young master, and then the little one returned the same way, only to find that the grain truck was long gone, and those guys were gone, empty, no one was left, only the blood stains on the ground, which made people afraid. ”
When he had said this, he fell on his stomach and wept bitterly.
He was also afraid of death, so he stood there and didn't move, so he saved a small life. However, he lost the eldest young master, even if he saved his life, he couldn't explain it to his masters, he hurried back overnight, and almost killed a horse on the way, which took five days.
However, these five days were like five years to him.
After hearing this, Old Man Zhu's hands trembled slightly unconsciously, he didn't know who the Zhu family would provoke, he only knew that Jintang must be more auspicious this time.
No matter how they come from, these people are not good. They have robbed the grain, but also cleaned the people, if the Jintang really fell into their hands, wouldn't it be ......
The old man has lived all his life, and he is used to seeing a lot of ups and downs, but this is the first time he has encountered such a thing in his life.
Zhu Feng, who had not moved or spoken since the beginning, was already getting whiter and paler, clenching his fists, and his heart was in unbearable pain as if he was dripping blood......
He only has one son like Zhu Jintang, and if he has three longs and two shorts, half of this family will be destroyed......
Old Man Zhu stood up tremblingly, and said with an extremely firm and serious expression: "Report to the official immediately, such a lawless matter, I must let the government investigate it to the end." ”
When Zhu Feng heard this, he groaned slightly: "But if you report to the official, will Jintang be in danger?" ”
Even if he is angry, he doesn't want to be rash, after all, his son's safety comes first.
Old Man Zhu said in a deep voice: "Since they have robbed the grain, it can be seen that they are seeking money. Moreover, they must know the identity of Jintang, and if they still want silver, they will not easily touch him. So much food, no matter where it is placed, is the same to attract people's attention, as long as the government pursues it, it will definitely find something. Now, several days have passed, and the sooner we act, the better the chances of Jintang being saved. ”
"Okay, son, I'll go find Lord Liu now." Zhu Feng turned around and walked in a hurry.
Zhu Jun, who was sitting next to him, also stood up and said, "Big brother, wait, I'll go with you." ”
Although the two of them almost made a move during the day, now that something happened at home, they don't have time to worry about it so much.
Zhu Feng and Zhu Jun walked out of the house one after the other, and Old Man Zhu sat back on the chair, thinking viciously in his heart, if someone dared to touch a single hair of Zhu Jintang, even if he fought for this old life, he would ask their whole family to accompany the funeral.
Chai Shi also couldn't sit still, and said to Old Man Zhu's Fu Yifu body, "I'll go see my mother-in-law and sister-in-law." ”
Old Man Zhu didn't reply, but just let her go down alone.
Mrs. Zhu was still fainting, and Dr. Lu gave her a few injections before she recovered a little, but she was not fully awake.
Lai Shi was in a slightly better situation than her, but because he was so sad, when he opened his eyes, he began to cry hoarsely.
Chai had never seen her like this, and he didn't know how to persuade her for a while, so he just walked to the side and explained to the maids in the house: "You all have to take care of your mouths, what you just heard, you can't mention half a word when you leave this room, otherwise, I won't spare you." ”
It happened suddenly, and Li Shi couldn't accept it for a while.
Now, Zhu Jintang's bad luck is uncertain, so it's better not to make a noise for the time being, not to mention the side, just Shen Yuechen's side must not leak any news.
Chai sighed deeply and said in his heart, how can this be good? Although she didn't look down on Changfang, she never hoped that something would happen to Zhu Jintang. In the end, no matter how much you fight or rob your own family, you can't hurt your life, and you can't tolerate people outside to calculate and persecute you.
Li's cry spread far away, and Old Man Zhu listened to it, only to feel that the voice was harsh.
That Zhu Sanjin still knelt in place without moving, like a wood carving, he would be ashamed and afraid in his heart, and he didn't know what to do? If you can make up for it, it will naturally be the best, but if you can't find the eldest young master, there is no need for him to leave this cheap life......
The news of Zhu Jintang's disappearance and unknown color cast a gloomy gray color over the Zhu family's upper room.
Chai stayed in the upper room all night, and did not close his eyes all night, and by early morning, his eyes had been boiled red.
She took matters into her own hands and blocked the news inside and out. I don't know how long I can hide it, but it's a day to hide it for one more day.
Such a thing, once Shen Yuechen knew about it, it would inevitably shock her fetus...... Chai thought to himself, thinking that if the old lady came to her senses, she would make the same decision as her.
This night passed extraordinarily long, Li Shi had already cried out of human shape, as for Mrs. Zhu, she finally came back to her senses, but she was just stunned with Buddha beads in her hand, so frightened that Mama Yang knelt in front of her, and said with tears in her eyes: "Old lady, you have to hold on." ”
Old Mrs. Zhu held the Buddha beads tightly and said in a trembling voice: "If there is a mistake in Jintang, I don't have to keep this old life." ”
Seeing her say such deflating words, Mama Yang hurriedly said, "Old lady, you can't think so." The eldest young master is such a clever person, he will never be fine. ”
The old lady said with red eyes: "Before the matter is clarified, don't tell Yuechen that kid to know." She couldn't stand the fright now. ”
Mama Yang nodded and said, "The second lady has already explained last night. ”
There has been a big incident in the family, and there must be no more mistakes.
After Mama Yang comforted the old lady, she walked under the porch, beckoned the two maids to give two low commands, and sent them out in their own business.
The rain rained all night, but it didn't stop.
Shen Yuechen looked up at the sky, only to see the gray patch above his head, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, carrying cool rain on her cheeks, Shen Yuechen took a step back unconsciously, half-closed the window, and said in her heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out again today.
Chun Ming just went out for a walk, only to feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere at home.
Where people usually come and go, now half of the figure is invisible.
Chun Ming didn't know where everyone had gone, so she wanted to find someone to ask, but she didn't see a single figure for a long time.
Chun Ming secretly wondered, but she didn't talk to Shen Yuechen about it, and still served her food, clothing, and daily life carefully as usual.
Because Shen Yuechen didn't have to go to the morning and dusk to settle the province, he didn't know the news from the upper room for a while.
Zhu Feng and Zhu Jun found Liu Fuyin overnight and informed him of Zhu Jintang's disappearance.
Although the place where Zhu Jintang disappeared is not in Texas, Lord Liu can't let it go. After all, the Zhu family's power was there, and he couldn't help but reach out.
Several days have passed since the incident, and every extra day of delay has made the Zhu family's hearts tighten.
After Zhu Feng returned home, the first thing he did was to send a letter to the Ruan family in the capital, and at this time, the Zhu family needed their help very much.
Old Man Zhu decided that Zhu Jintang would not have an accident, because those who knew the background of the Zhu family would not be stupid to that extent.
If you just want money, then you don't dare to see blood. If you see blood, it will definitely be a blood feud.
The Zhu family will work hard with all their strength and use all means to find out who is behind the scenes, and then let them survive and not die......
After waiting anxiously for two days, Zhu Feng couldn't bear it anymore, and he proposed to his father that he should go to the outskirts of Cangzhou in person to inquire about his son.
Old Man Zhu refused to agree, "If something like this suddenly happens at home, no one can preside over the overall situation." Moreover, your body is not as good as before, how can you cope with the big and small things over there after a tiring journey. ”
At this moment, Zhu Jinlun suddenly stepped forward and volunteered: "Grandpa, uncle, why don't you let me go." ”
When Zhu Jun heard this, he immediately objected: "What use did you have in the past? ”
In fact, he knew what his son was capable of, but he just didn't want him to take risks.
Zhu Jinlun said calmly: "I know a lot of friends in Cangzhou, and it is very easy to inquire about something. It is impossible for the grain to disappear out of thin air, and if you want to transport it away or hide it, it is impossible for people not to notice it, so as long as I can find out the whereabouts of the food, I may be able to find out the whereabouts of my eldest brother. Human lives are at stake, and one more day of delay will be more dangerous. So, without further ado, the sooner I go, the better. ”
Zhu Jun was naturally reluctant to let his son take risks, but he was still secretly proud of him in his heart. If something like this happens at home, he can still calm down and think of ways without hurrying, which shows that he is a capable person.
Old Man Zhu's original favorite candidate was also Zhu Jinlun.
Seeing him say this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Nylon, it's hard for you to be so sensible, grandpa is counting on you, no, it should be said that our whole family is counting on you, you must find your eldest brother's whereabouts." ”
Zhu Nylon naturally knows the weight of these words.
He never expected that Zhu Jintang would suddenly have an accident, and even snatched the Zhu family's food.
Zhu Jinlun used to walk outside a lot before, but he had never encountered such a thing. Who dared to touch the people and food of their Zhu family, this really made Zhu Jinlun feel unbearable!
Because Zhu Jinlun volunteered to go, Chai wanted to persuade him, but it was useless, and in the end he could only beat his shoulder helplessly and said, "Good and decent, what can you do?" It's going on a lot of chaos over there, what if you're being targeted? ”
Zhu Jinlun comforted his mother and said: "Mother, don't worry, I will bring enough people this time." Moreover, the more times like this, the more the son can't back down, doesn't he? If you cower, how can you be the head of this family in the future? ”
Chai Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and understood his thoughts in his heart.
Yes, this will make everyone in the family anxious, and it is a good time for him to perform meritorious service.
Zhu Jintang is now more than lucky, whether he can come back depends on the will of God, if he comes back, it must be the credit of Zhu Jinlun's best efforts to find, if he can't come back...... Then, Zhu Nylon is logical and will become the head of the Zhu family.
Right now, the Zhu family has thought of all the ways they can think of, and they have all the relationships they can find, and the only thing they can do now is to resign themselves to the news.
However, two days passed.
Shen Yuechen couldn't help but be surprised when she didn't see Li Shi coming over for a long time, how could she, who usually had to come over every day, suddenly lose interest.
Could it be that you have done something wrong? Or is Li Shi not feeling well?
Shen Yuechen asked Chun Ming to go over and inquire, but got an ambiguous message.
Li Shi seems to be really sick, and he is still very sick, and he is bedridden all day.
Not only is she sick alone, but the old lady is not happy these days, and she asks Dr. Lu to look back and forth every day, but she doesn't say that she has such a disease.
Shen Yuechen felt that something was wrong, if he was sick, why didn't anyone come to inform him.
Chun Ming comforted her and said, "Xu is the old lady is afraid that the young lady will be worried." If you are really sick, the young lady will visit her, and it will not be good in case she gets sick. The most taboo thing for pregnant women is to get sick. ”
Shen Yuechen knew that she was reasonable, but she still felt that it was inappropriate, so she only said: "No matter what, you have to know what the disease is." ”
Chun Ming hurriedly said: "Miss, don't worry, the slave maid will personally go over to say goodbye to Mrs. on behalf of Miss in a while, and see if it really doesn't matter if you die?" ”
