Chapter 100: Brother and Sister Killed
Juan Niang's flustered face was feverish, why did she neglect this matter, she shouldn't have added money on her own initiative, she should have listened to that woman's slander and she would be content with two or three thousand taels of silver.
What should I do now?
After a long time, she finally had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Then who knows which ticket number, and it's not the same ticket number, who will store the silver in the same ticket number, will you?" ”
It's really a quibble.
Seeing that she was thinking about it for a long time, she held back a few words, and Layue sneered, "That's right." The eight thousand taels of silver tickets are also very thick, I don't know how ...... Juan"
"Bang", the door was slammed open, the latch was broken in two, Layue's words were interrupted, and he looked in surprise at the man who rolled in on the ground with his waist hunched and rolled on the ground, and he couldn't say anything in pain, and he didn't know what was going on.
"Offended! I'm sorry! With an apology that shook people's eardrums, the bearded man who was one of the five men seen on the top of the mountain stepped in and lifted the people on the ground, like chickens, looked at the three of them and said, "This man stole my things, and I kicked them, not wanting to break your door and disturb the three ladies." ”
After saying that, he grabbed the man on the ground by the collar, turned into the room next to them, and slammed the door shut.
The servants outside the door came in tremblingly, saying that these people had just come out of the side door and stood at the door and listened to the conversation for a long time, and glared at the servants who did not allow them to speak, and then somehow kicked a passing little two into the room.
The three of them looked at each other in shock, and Layue was even more suspicious.
What is the purpose of eavesdropping on them? It's just a family affair for their family, so what good do they sound like? What are these people trying to do?
Without waiting for her to think too much, Juan Niang broke the silence in the room with a sigh.
It turned out that she was frightened but really had a fetal gas, covering her stomach and white face and screaming pain, the girl hurriedly helped her back to the room, and the mother-in-law hurriedly went to the store to find a doctor, and then ordered the servant to hurry up and call the city back.
The chickens and dogs jumped for a long time, and then Juan Niang took the medicine and fell asleep, and when she woke up, the sun was setting in the west and it was approaching evening.
Xiaodouzi didn't know what the two ladies were talking about in the room in the afternoon, for fear that Layue would forget the two children, so she reminded and asked, "Do you want to wait for them at the agreed place?" ”
Without waiting for Layue to answer, Juan Niang had already said in a weird manner, "Go!" Of course you have to go! Not only to go, but also to go, let's all go and see, when the time comes, we will see, what else can my sister's sharp mouth say? ”
Layue is naturally not afraid, but Zhicheng is worried about Juanniang's body, and when she came back and listened to her mother, her face was already very unsightly, and when she thought that Yueniang might have spent the night in that kind of place, I don't know if she was ......
He said with a pale face, "You are all waiting at the inn, I'll take people and Xiaodouzi!" ”
Who knew that after about half an hour, the two of them turned pale and returned empty-handed, the city was better, Xiaodouzi's eyes were red, and his legs kept shaking, as if he had just come out of the ice water.
Layue and her mother-in-law Juanniang had their own things in their hearts, and no one refused to go back to the room, so they waited for them in the hall together until now. Seeing Xiaodouzi's appearance, and not following the two children behind her, Layue was startled, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged into a new head, and she stepped forward and grabbed Xiaodouzi's arm and said eagerly, "What about the two children?" ”
Xiaodouzi burst into tears, rolled up his sleeves and wiped his eyes and cried, "When the slave and the young master went there, they surrounded the people, as well as the officials of the yamen, the two of them...... The two of them ...... Someone cut off his head...... His head scurled far on the ground. ”
Layue slumped in her chair, "Dead...... she muttered to herself, but she knew very well that this was coming for her. I am afraid that if I really confront them, I will kill those two children, or those two children will not listen to their instigation to testify against themselves, although those two children are poor, they have great self-esteem, and they will not even beg, and they are people who cannot be bought.
Who is it? Who is so vicious against himself? In addition to sadness, Layue's heart added a layer of fear, this person knew everything about herself, so what else did she not know? Who is so capable? Who is so painstaking and lonely to ruin their reputation?
She hugged her shoulders and shrunk up, feeling so cold for a moment, she didn't know who the enemy was, but she had been poisoned by this person......
Wrong! She was startled and exclaimed, "Oh no! We made an appointment with the two kids to meet, and maybe the killer knew about it, just in case ......."
Zhicheng trembled his lips and continued, "What if...... Framed for you? No, no, no, it's definitely not for you to give up, this is for our Zhang Mansion. He turned his head to look around at everyone, and said angrily, "No one is allowed to say that Mrs. has an agreement with those two children, and he can't admit it to death, if he says it, I will die and put his whole family on the mat!" ”
Everyone naturally knew that it was powerful, and they didn't dare to take a mouthful, Juan Niang was even more frightened and her stomach began to ache faintly, and her mother-in-law thought of how vicious the person who told Juan Niang the news, and she also counted her a few words with a little complaint, but when she saw her white face trembling with fear, she was afraid that if she said it again, something would happen to the child in her stomach, and it was really hard to mess with her prime minister.
A few people packed their luggage and were about to leave, Juan Niang's face softened, thinking of the silver that she didn't get in her hand, she was unwilling in her heart, so she was not afraid of death and mentioned the silver again, and she also cried with a handful of snot and tears, and hugged the arm of the city to complain, "Zhicheng, you have to be the master for me, that is my dowry money, I am a little woman who has married thousands of miles to Yecheng, and all points to that dowry money to support the elderly." ”
Everyone in the inn saw this extremely decently dressed person, and there was a woman crying and crying and looking over here, Zhicheng's face was red, for fear of being seen as a joke, and the child in Juanniang's belly didn't dare to say too much about her, so he said to Layue with a crooked mouth, "Yueniang, you can write an IOU to Juanniang, why do you have to care so clearly." ”
The mother-in-law also echoed, "That's it, so many people are watching, you can save some face for the city." ”
In order not to be ashamed, you have to let yourself suffer this loss? Why? That's 8,000 taels of silver for nothing, it's the money that hundreds of people in your own shop can only earn for half a year, and you are afraid of being embarrassed and laughed at, so you want to let yourself suffer this bag nose loss?
"I didn't!" She shouted, deliberately making things noisy, you are afraid of being laughed at, I want people to come and see the comments.
Zhicheng never thought that she would yell out, and he forgot to care about it for a while, and threatened her in a low voice, "Don't forget that you are still suspected of murder!" ”
Layue stared at his face for a long time as if she didn't know him, trying to see a trace of regret on this man's face, and apologize for the unconscionable threatening words he blurted out just now.
But no.
