Chapter 180: Another Incident
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
On the second day, the weather was not beautiful, and it rained all day.
On the third day, it rained all day.
Bai Zhi looked at the dripping rain from the eaves outside the window and fell on the bluestone slab at the door, she pinched her fingers and calculated, if the rain didn't stop tomorrow, I was afraid that her trip to the hot spring would be in the hot springs.
In the house, Ye Qiu's little doll was staring at the little golden grass baby, and the little bottle was standing aside and watching the two people.
It rained outside for two days in a row, and Su Shi didn't let Ye Qiu run around and detained him at home, so he ran to play with Jin Cao when he had nothing to do.
Bai Zhi likes children very much, and although Ye Qiu, the child, is a little naughty by chance, he is still very well-behaved most of the time, so every time he comes to Bai Zhi's side, she treats him with a lot of delicious food.
The two little dolls in the house continued to stare and play, and Su Shi came to talk to Bai Zhi. There are only a few topics, and after saying it over and over again a few times, both of them don't know what to say.
The room once fell into an embarrassing situation where there was no topic to talk about and forced to chat.
The two of them sat dry and drank tea, and this time they saw that the teacup had bottomed out three times, Su Shi really couldn't hold it back, thinking about the topic, and there was still nothing to say after thinking about it.
Fortunately, the morning passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, so Su Shi said that he wanted to go to the kitchen to see lunch, so he led people to run in a hurry.
In the afternoon, the rain stopped, and the sun, which had been lazy for two days, stretched out in the sky, and the golden light sprinkled down, and everywhere it was bright.
After the rain, the first sunny day was full of bright colors, and the happiest was Su's, she was overjoyed when she looked at the sunny sky.
On the third day, Bai Zhi happily prepared to go to the hot springs, but she didn't want to have another accident before leaving.
Early in the morning, someone from the yamen came to report the case, saying that the daughter of He Yuanwai's family in the city was missing.
Ordinary cases of missing people, the yamen will send a yamen to look around when they receive a report, there are many such cases a year, Ye Zongping heard about it, Bingwen was too careful, and just ordered the yamen to take people to look for it near He Yuanwai's house.
No one thought that this yacha had not yet gone out of the yamen, and someone from the He family had come to report the case again, this time it was not a report of disappearance, the Miss He family found it, but she found a corpse.
Homicide case!
Ye Zongping's face sank when he heard the report, Lu Zhiyuan was a guest on his territory, and there was a murder case just after he came, which inevitably seemed that he was too incompetent as a county commander. When he received the report, he naturally immediately led people to the scene of the crime to investigate.
Although the affairs of Bai'an County are not under Lu Zhiyuan's control, he is also an official of the imperial court, and when he encounters a homicide case, he naturally does not care about just playing, so he naturally followed him to the scene of the crime to investigate the case.
So the trip to the hot springs could only be put on hold for the time being.
Although Bai Zhi was a little disappointed, she also knew the priorities of the matter, so she was naturally down to business.
Su Shi invited people to Bai'an County in the next post, and he was naturally a little embarrassed if he couldn't go again, "Their men are going to handle the case, and the two of us are going to Buyun Mountain to play." ”
Bai Zhi hurriedly shook her head, "By all means, it will take a day for us to come and go without saying anything, if there is a bump on the road and hurts the child, how can it be good." ”
Su Shi is now seven months pregnant, and she is not so bold to go out with a pregnant woman.
Having said that, Su Shi felt guilty in his heart, and wondered that since the hot spring couldn't be done, it would be better to go out and take a turn nearby.
Bai Zhi originally wanted to refuse this proposal, but Su Shi said that he was suffocated in the room and panicked, so he asked Bai Zhi to go out with him to relax.
In this way, she couldn't refuse, so she could only bring a few more subordinates to take care of her.
Although Bai'an County is not big, it is very rich, because relying on the natural hot springs of Buyun Mountain, it attracts many tourists to come, making this small county more prosperous than many big cities outside, and the streets are full of people coming and going, so lively.
When it was close to noon, Bai Zhi saw that Su looked a little tired, so he proposed to find a restaurant to rest.
Su chose a restaurant called Ruyi Building.
When they entered the door, Xiao Er invited the two of them to the elegant room on the second floor, Bai Zhi and Su Shi each ordered two special dishes, and Xiao Er went down to prepare.
Bai Zhi, who was waiting, looked under the window, and the place opposite this window was a gambling house, and at this time, people came and went in the gambling house, all of them hurriedly entered, and then came out dejectedly. In this place, the loser wants to win, the winner wants to win more, and the cycle repeats, and in the end only the dealer reaps the profit. That's why there is a saying that ten bets and nine loses.
Bai Zhi shook her head and was about to withdraw her gaze, when she accidentally noticed a father and daughter. The girl looked like she was eleven or twelve years old, and her father grabbed her fiercely and walked into the gambling house with her head down.
The door of the gambling house opened, and two men came out of it, the one led by the one looked at the girl beside the man, and then he didn't know what to say to the man, so he took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the girl's father, only to see him bite his finger without hesitation and press a handprint. Then the man took out the silver and threw it to the girl's father, and he took it, without even looking at the girl, and hurried into the gambling house.
The girl was crying and calling her father again, but the father didn't even give a reluctant look.
"Is this selling your daughter?" Bai Zhi felt a little unacceptable when she saw this scene.
"If the gambling family is bankrupt, you can only sell your sons and daughters." Su Shi looked at it, and his tone was full of disdain and disgust, "This person's name is Hu Si, a famous scumbag in Bai'an County, he first bought a wife, and then sold three daughters in a row, and now this is the youngest, and now he has also suffered." ”
Bai Zhi listened incredibly, "There is such a ruthless father in this world." ”
"He doesn't talk about his wife and daughter, but as long as his mother and son can change a few copper plates to gamble, they will be sold." Su Shi shook his head, "These individuals have a good life, but they want to gamble in their lives, and in the end, they will ruin their families." ”
"There's no other way, this kid looks like he's only eleven or twelve years old." Bai Zhi felt a little unbearable in her heart, the girl cried heartbreakingly, and was slapped in the face by the man, which made people uncomfortable to watch.
"What's the way, Hu Si is their father, if he wants to sell his daughter, no one can control it." Su Shi is also very powerless about this, "His eldest daughter is miserable, she was sold to Hualou, she was ruined, and she just hanged herself last month." ”
"Such a person should be arrested and beaten so that he will not dare to gamble again."
"Why didn't he fight, even if he was arrested a few times in the yamen, but he didn't kill people and set fires, he couldn't be locked up for life, this person didn't change his life, as long as he was released, he would continue to do so within a few days. His daughters were also unlucky to meet such a father. ”
Xiao Er, who was talking, had already brought up the food, and Bai Zhi looked downstairs again, this time the girl didn't know where she was taken, and she couldn't find a trace anymore.
The meal, whether it was Bai Zhi or Su Shi, was tasteless, maybe I saw the girl, and I couldn't eat a bowl of rice after only a few bites.
In the afternoon, they did not continue shopping, but prepared to take the bus directly back to their homes.
The carriage was driving on the road, and the coachman pulled the reins hard, and the carriage shook for a while, and Su's big stomach was very inconvenient, and his body was about to fall down when he was crooked.
Fortunately, Bai Zhi's eyes were quick and she hurriedly helped her, so she didn't fall, but her arm hit the carriage and was in a faint pain.
After the carriage stopped, Su Shi scolded the outside with a calm face, "Something happened, I can't even drive a car." ”
Soon the voice of the subordinate sounded outside, "Mrs. Hui, it was a girl who suddenly rushed over just now and startled the horse." ”
There was another commotion outside the conversation, and then the sound of a man's curses mixed with the woman's crying came along.
"You little still dare to run, I won't break your legs when I go back." The man was tall and horse-tall, with a face of impatience and cruelty, reached out and slapped the girl unceremoniously.
The girl was thin and weak, how could she withstand such a slap, and fell directly to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.
The onlookers around couldn't help but accuse the man when they saw this scene, and the man looked around and scolded back unceremoniously, "Look at everything, it's natural for Lao Tzu to beat his own woman, and then look at even you together." ”
Among the onlookers, there were also righteous people, who stood up and said to the man, "I see that you are not young, this child is only eleven or twelve years old, why is it your woman?" ”
Bai Zhi lifted the curtain to see what was going on, and happened to see the girl's swollen face that was beaten, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why is she?" ”
This girl is none other than the girl who was sold by Hu Si in Ruyi Building.
The man sneered, then took out a piece of paper from his arms, "Keep your eyes open and see clearly, her father sold her to me." ”
When the kind-hearted man saw the deed of sale, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by the others and motioned for him to stop talking.
Seeing this, the man became even more arrogant, grabbed the girl by the collar of her clothes, and dragged her almost to leave.
"Wait."
A woman's voice sounded from inside the carriage, not loud, but it was quiet all around, and the voice was exceptionally clear.
The man frowned, glared impatiently behind him, and saw the curtain of the carriage open, and out of it came a woman, who was dressed in a lotus-colored brocade robe, with a beautiful appearance, fair skin like congealed fat, and an indescribable aura between her actions.
That man was a womanizer, and when he saw a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but reveal a salivating look.
Bai Zhi saw the change in the man's expression, and held back the disgust and disgust in her heart, and said coldly on her face, "She, you can't take it away." She said as she stretched out her finger and pointed at the girl who had lost her strength after being beaten.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, she looked at Bai Zhi and laughed twice, "I won't take her away, it's okay to take you away, you little lady is much more iconic than her." ”
Bai Zhi's appearance is really not very beautiful, but it also depends on who she compares with, the women she usually meets are extremely beautiful beauties, and they naturally look ordinary when compared. But for ordinary people, her appearance is up to the standard of a beauty, plus she has always been pampered with Lord Lu, and she uses a lot of good things, and her skin is naturally like a shelled egg.
At this moment, Bai Zhi is a beauty to a man, he can't help but get lustful, and he stretches out his hand and is ready to reach towards her.
