Chapter 323: Xu Chunhua
"Brother Zhang, don't you know, the discord between the Qiu family and the Yin family is not because of business, but because of women!"
"What woman?" Zhang Jucai continued.
"It's Yun Zhongyi, the wife of Yin Hetai, the head of the Yin family," said Zhou Fang mysteriously.
"What's wrong with her wife?" asked Zhang Jucai anxiously. This Thursday said half-sentence by half, which really makes people feel anxious.
"This matter has to start from more than 20 years ago, this Yun Zhongyi is the eldest lady of another family in Shayun City, the three major families in Shayun City, Qiu, Yun, and Yin, each family is rich and rich. More than 20 years ago, this cloud memory was originally in love with Qiu Hongye, the eldest son of the Qiu family, and these two people were also talented and beautiful. The door is right, but for some reason the Yun family is strongly opposed, and then Qiu Hongye eloped with Yun Zhongyi, just when all the people in Shayun City thought that the two of them had gone away and flew high, suddenly one day, the Yin family announced that Yin Hetai, the eldest son of the Yin family, and Yun Zhongyi got married, after the marriage, many people have also seen Yun Zhongyi walking around in the city, but no one has ever seen Qiu Hongye, Qiu Hongye has disappeared since then, and has not shown up until now, it is said that Qiu Hongye was martyred, this matter thought it was over, and then Yun Zhongyi successfully gave birth to a baby boy, but at this time Shayun City was full of rumors, saying that the baby boy was Yun Zhongyi and Qiu Hongye's, not the Yin family, the Yin family came out and tried their best to refute the rumor, and at that time they killed many people who talked about it before suppressing the rumor, but since then, the Yin family and the Qiu family have formed a bond and have not communicated with each other. ”
"I see, it seems that Brother Zhou really knows a lot about the Yin family," Zhang Jucai touted.
Zhou Fang said with a smug face: "That is, I want to climb the big tree of the Yin family, so naturally I have to inquire about everything clearly, so as not to capsize in the gutter." ”
Zhang Jucai and Zhao Laosi flattered Thursday again, and the three of them began to push the cup and change the lamp.
Wu Qian smiled secretly and whispered: It seems that this Shayun City is quite complicated, so he continued to bury his head in eating.
On the second day, Wu Qian thought that it was still a long way to go back to Qingzhou, and the bumpy carriage was not good for Shui Tao's health, so he planned to buy a little quilt and put it in the carriage, so that Shui Tao could sit more comfortably, and by the way, he would also take Shui Tao to visit this Shayun City.
This Shayun City is far less prosperous than Dingnan City, but it is also a small sparrow with all kinds of organs, all kinds of shops, merchants, and entertainers can be seen, and it is also very fun to shop for Shui Tao. Wu Qian planned to go shopping for a quilt when he was tired of shopping, and then went back to the inn to rest, and the two of them walked around Shayun City with confidence.
Shopping is really not a man's strength, Wu Qian has walked with a sore back, Shui Tao is still full of interest, Shui Tao saw an attic, and then looked at the attic and ran up, Wu Qian was helpless, so he had to follow, this attic is four stories so high, standing on the top of the attic can take a look at Shayun City, climbed such a high floor, Shui Tao is not tired at all, looking at the scenery of Shayun City with an excited face, Wu Qian is so tired that he is lying on the railing and panting, squinting his eyes and looking at the bustling people on the street, when he is resting.
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, looking at the crowd on the street, Wu Qian thought wildly. Suddenly, a back figure entered Wu Qian's field of vision, his hair was messy, his figure was bloated, and he was wearing a blue cloth long skirt that was folded and wrinkled. It's so familiar with the back, but I can't remember where I've seen it, Wu Qian stared at this person intently, but this person kept his back to Wu Qian, this woman walked into a pharmacy, and her back disappeared from Wu Qian's field of vision, Wu Qian stared at the pharmacy intently, because he knew that when the person came out of the pharmacy, Wu Qian would be able to see the person's face clearly, and maybe Wu Qian would remember who this person was.
The time of a stick of incense passed, and the man finally walked out of the pharmacy, and Wu Qian finally saw that face, which was a face that you would never forget at a glance, and the haggard on this woman's face seemed to be exhausted, exhausting all the energy of this woman. That's right, this woman is the woman Zhao Bo saw in Shayun City.
Wu Qian was excited, pulled up Shui Tao and ran downstairs, Shui Tao was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Wu Qian, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Qian said as he ran: "I saw the woman that Uncle Zhao saw in Shayun City!"
"What's wrong with that? Uncle Zhao didn't die of a stroke, isn't there anything abnormal?" Shui Tao said puzzled.
"I always feel a little strange about this, especially this woman, the strangest, let's follow first, let's see. Wu Qian said.
After a while, the two walked out of the attic, Wu Qian pulled the peach and ran to the pharmacy, but when they arrived at the pharmacy, the figure of the woman was gone, Wu Qian hurriedly went into the pharmacy and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you know the woman wearing a blue cloth skirt just now?"
The shopkeeper asked with a hint of vigilance, "What are you looking for her?"
"She bought something from me just now, and she gave her too much money, so I gave it back to her," Wu Qian casually found a reason to talk nonsense.
"Oh, that's right, her name is Xu Chunhua, she lives in Hutou Lane in the east of the city, she often buys medicine from us, she is also a poor person, you should go and return the money to her," the shopkeeper of the medicine shop lowered his vigilance and said enthusiastically.
Wu Qian hummed, ran out of the pharmacy again, and ran to the east of the city with Shui Tao, and after a while, the familiar back appeared in Wu Qian's eyes again, Wu Qian signaled to Shui Tao, and the two quietly followed behind Xu Chunhua. Xu Chunhua only walked with his head buried all the way, his head never raised, nor did he look to the sides, outsiders could not see a trace of life from him, as if he was a walking corpse, which made people feel a depressing desolation from their hearts.
Shui Tao pulled Wu Qian's foot with his hand, looked at Wu Qian with a trace of unbearable and frightened eyes, shook his head, and whispered: "Brother Wu Qian, let's go back, I'm a little scared." Wu Qian patted Shui Tao's shoulder and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Shui Tao had no choice but to follow Wu Qian and continue to walk forward. Xu Chunhua walked straight to the east of the city, and then turned directly into Humen Lane, and Wu Qian and Shui Tao also followed into Humen Lane. This Humen Lane seems to be a place where poor people live, all of them are low bungalows, the houses are also dilapidated, the sewage on the ground is crossflowing, emitting this foul smell, Xu Chunhua walked to a dilapidated house, pushed the door directly in, and then came the sound of the door bolt being plugged in.
Wu Qian turned around and said to Shui Tao: "You go back to the inn first, I'll take a look, and I'll tell you the details when I come back." ”
Shui Tao didn't seem to want Wu Qian to go, but just shook his head vigorously, and Wu Qian comforted softly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, can Xu Chunhua still hurt me?"
Seeing that Wu Qian insisted on going, Shui Tao had no choice but to comply with his wishes and said, "Then you should be careful, and come back quickly after reading it." ”
Wu Qian nodded, and Shui Tao returned to the inn the same way. Wu Qian walked to Xu Chunhua's house, put his ear on the door and listened for a while, but there was not a trace of movement inside. It's daytime, and if you jump on the roof to check what's inside, it's easy for someone else to spot. Wu Qian took out the Heavenly Sword, inserted it into the crack of the door, gently opened the door bolt, and then gently pushed the door open, and dodged into the house.
When he entered the house, he was greeted by a strong smell of medicine, mixed with a musty smell, and Wu Qian's stomach almost rolled and almost vomited.
Wu Qian adjusted his breathing to make himself more comfortable, Wu Qian began to look at the room, and glanced around, it can be said that the four walls of the house are poor, and the only table and two stools are also covered with dust and tattered. The strangest thing is that the windows of this house are covered with black cloth, and it is obvious that the owner does not want outsiders to see what is going on inside the house. This is not a place for people to live at all, the light is dim, the air is dirty, what is this Xu Chunhua hiding in this house? Wu Qian thought to himself.
Just when Wu Qian was puzzled, he only heard a "bang" behind him, Wu Qian immediately turned around, only to see Xu Chunhua standing there, looking at Wu Qian in horror, as if he had done something bad and had been discovered by Wu Qian. Wu Qian looked at the ground, and it turned out that a medicine jar was broken, and the decoction flowed all over the ground. Xu Chunhua trembled and said, "Who are you?
Wu Qian spread out his hands, signaled that he had no malicious intent, and then said, "Don't be afraid, I just want to come and ask you something, and I'll leave after asking." ”
When Xu Chunhua heard Wu Qian's words, she was no longer so scared in her heart, and then said: "What's the matter, you ask quickly, and you leave quickly after asking." ”
"Do you know Zhao Kaiming?" Wu Qian asked directly.
Xu Chunhua seemed to be taken aback, her eyes were a little flustered, and she said hesitantly: "I... I don't know... What Zhao Kaiming, you admit your mistake... people. ”
Wu Qian said loudly: "You lied! Three days ago in the tailor's shop in Shayun City, I watched you call Uncle Zhao out, do you know Uncle Zhao?"
Wu Qian's voice was so loud that even the dust on the wall was shaken and fell down, and just when Xu Chunhua was panicking, a weak voice came from the inner room: "Mother, what's wrong?"
Wu Qian heard this voice, and walked towards the inner room, Xu Chunhua showed a trace of fear in her eyes, stepped forward to block the door, and did not allow Wu Qian to enter, and said in her mouth: "There is no one inside, I beg you, don't go in!"
This Xu Chunhua is so strange, and Wu Qian is suspicious, Wu Qian gritted his teeth, pulled Xu Chunhua away, and pushed open the door, this is a more dimly lit cabin, the window is directly closed with wooden boards, there is only one bed in the room, and there is a person lying on the bed.
