Chapter 16 Ten Miles of Purple Bamboo Forest
"Childe, you may have a little misunderstanding, it's not that Yan is unkind and wants to drive their mother and daughter away, it's just ......"
The middle-aged man's face changed for a while, and he wanted to explain, after all, the silver ingot in the hand of the young man in front of him was twenty taels, which was not a small number.
Li Zhai didn't look at him again, walked out of the hall and picked up the burden on the side of the road, flicked off the dust on it, turned back to the Shen family and said to the mother and daughter, "Sister-in-law, let's go." ”
"Thank you, childe. ”
At this moment, Shen also recovered from the surprise and excitement, and she walked out of the inn with the little girl with big eyes and two ponytails next to her, and gave a deep salute to Li Zhai.
Li Zhai waved his hand and led them to another inn.
Later, at the door of the two adjacent upper rooms on the second floor of the inn, the young man was sent away, and Li Zhai gently knocked on the door where Shen's mother and daughter lived.
"Li Gongzi, is there anything wrong with you?"
Shen opened the door and asked a little nervously, at the bead curtain in the back room, the little girl Shen Rou blinked her big eyes and probed her brain with a curious look.
"Well, I do have something I want to talk to my sister-in-law about, can you go inside and talk about it in detail. ”
On the way here, Li Zhai had already asked the Shen family, and through the changes in her and Shen Rou's expressions, it could be determined that the identity of the mother and daughter was the same as he had guessed.
It's just that there are many people on the street, so he didn't take out Xu Yong's burden of stolen money.
Hearing that Li Zhai said that he wanted to enter the house to talk in detail, Shen's face immediately became a little unnatural.
After all, she is not related to the other party, why should people help her so much, unless it is the son-in-law in front of her who takes a fancy to her or Shen Rou.
If you're okay, for the sake of Rou'er, it's a big deal to make the other party light, but what if it's Rou'er?
"Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, what I said has something to do with your father-in-law Shen Wanguan......"
Li Zhai observed the words and immediately guessed Shen's thoughts, and explained with a smile.
This~, Shen's face turned red, he really wanted to be crooked, so he hurriedly smiled awkwardly and let Li Zhai into the house.
"Li Gongzi, do you know my father-in-law, do you know where he is now?"
Shen Wanguan has been missing for more than a year, otherwise their mother and daughter would not have fallen to this, and after Li Zhai sat down at the round table in the living room of the outer room, she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, Brother Li, have you seen my father, when did you see me?"
The little girl Shen Rou also ran out and grabbed Li Zhai's arm, her little face full of excitement.
When Shen Wanguan was alive, he loved this daughter very much, and Shen Rou was also full of concern for her father.
It's a pity that the Shen family has suffered a big change, the family property was occupied by the eldest mother Pan Hong, and their mother and daughter were directly swept out of the house as a wild road, and today they are almost on the streets.
Shen Rou suddenly heard the news of her father, how happy and excited.
"Hey~, Master Shen, he's no longer there......"
Although he knew that telling the truth would hit the Shen mother and daughter in front of him, things had to be resolved, and he couldn't stay by their side for a lifetime, so he had to let the two girls accept the reality and learn to be strong.
"Daddy..."
Listening to Li Zhai's account of what happened, Shen Rou couldn't help crying anymore, while Shen sat on the chair with a gloomy face.
There has been no news for more than a year, and from the bottom of their hearts, they have accepted the fact that their father-in-law and father were murdered, but there is no final confirmation, and the two girls still have a trace of fantasy.
Now that their illusions are completely shattered, they are like losing momentum.
"Master, you died so miserably, master, you are gone, what should Rou'er and I do?"
Feng did not mention how she and Feng Liang made money and killed themselves, but since the Yamen of Changping County has always regarded Shen Wanguan as a missing person, it means that he must have been destroyed and destroyed.
Seeing Shen and Shen Rou's mother and daughter hugging and crying, Li Zhai was helpless, and could only sigh.
After a long time, when the other party's mood stabilized, he raised his hand and wiped the storage bag on his waist and took out a bag containing gold, silver and jewelry.
"Sister-in-law, this is the money that Feng asked me to return to you on my behalf, I hope it can help you. ”
"This~, thank you Childe, ah no, thank you Li Xianchang. ”
Looking at the large bag of gold and silver that was enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, the Shen family was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to kneel down and thank Li Zhai, but he raised his hand to stop him.
"Sister-in-law of the Shen family, you don't have to be like this, I'm just doing it. By the way, money is in trouble, and I hope your mother and daughter can take care of themselves. ”
returned the stolen money to the bitter master, and it was a cause and effect, and Li Zhai was ready to say goodbye and leave.
However, knowing that his wealth is not exposed, he still reminded casually.
"Wait, Immortal Li Chang, you have this money, I hope you can help our mother and daughter again. ”
Seeing that Li Zhai put down his burden and was about to go out, Shen opened his mouth to stop him, took out a few ingots of gold and silver from the burden and stuffed them into his hands.
"Sister-in-law of the Shen family, if you have anything to say, just forget about the money. ”
Li Zhai hurriedly shirked it, it wasn't that he regarded money as dung, but that the Shen family's mother and daughter relied on these for the rest of their lives?
Shen didn't want to take back the gold and silver no matter what, she actually knelt down with her daughter, and said while wiping her tears:
"Immortal Li Chang, that's the case, Pan Hong's poisonous woman and her brother have usurped everything in the Shen family, and in order to prevent Rou'er from dividing the family property, he actually framed me for having an affair with the family......
The little woman is really wronged, and I want you to help me do justice. ”
Ay~~
There are injustices in the world, how difficult life is, even if Ling Yunzhi can manage a few times, in the face of the pleading of Shen's mother and daughter, Li Zhai's heart fluctuates.
To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore.
Not to mention that the county master may be bought by Pan Hong's brothers and sisters, it is difficult to overturn the case, and he himself is now targeted by powerful evil things, and he needs to improve his cultivation as soon as possible in order to protect himself.
But if you flatly refuse, your heart will be uneasy.
In the end, Li Zhai bent down and picked up the Shen mother and daughter and said:
"Sister-in-law, I can't do this alone, but don't worry, I can accompany you to find Kong Yilong.
Brother Kong is the newly appointed head catcher in Changping County, and with his help, he may be able to wash away your grievances. ”
"Really, thank you Immortal Chief, thank you Brother Li. ”
Shen and Shen Rou stopped crying, thanked them again, and stuffed the silver money into Li Zhai alive or dead.
In the end, in order to reassure them, Li Zhai took a silver ingot, and returned the remaining gold bars and silver ingots to the Shen family, and told her to keep it carefully so as not to be discovered by outsiders.
At the end of the party, he had to go to the tailor's shop to get custom-made clothes, and it was impossible to leave today, otherwise it would be very dangerous to walk at night.
Li Zhai and the mother and daughter of the Shen family agreed to hire a car together tomorrow morning and leave, and then leave their room and go back to their own house to rest.
In the evening, he left the inn and went to the tailor's shop to retrieve his custom-made robes.
It just so happened that the meals and tea prepared by the Shen family for the little man were also delivered, and Li Zhai was not polite, and directly ate and drank.
After eating and drinking, he waited for a while, and when it was completely dark, Li Zhai opened the window and quietly slipped out.
Ten miles southwest of Yulou Town, the purple bamboo that cannot be seen at a glance is swaying in the wind.
This is what several college students call a haunted place, the Ten Miles Purple Bamboo Forest.
Under the starlight at night, a young man in blue walked on the path leading to the purple bamboo forest, which was none other than Li Zhai.
Li Zhai was in a hurry, like a young scholar passing by in an emergency.
"Childe, help the slave family. ”
Suddenly, Li Zhai, who was walking on the curved path with purple bamboos on both sides, heard a woman's call from the bamboo forest in front of him.
