Chapter 9: Misfortune

This does not mean that the Oriental family has no way to start.

First of all, the reason why the drug thief came to steal the longevity flower must be that someone needed the longevity flower to continue his life.

The first thing the Dongfang family did was to find out the identity and origin of the drug thief, and then follow the vine to find the person who made him give up his life to protect.

It doesn't matter if you can't find out the origin of the drug thief, the immortal flower must be in An Ying City. Keep an eye on the people entering and leaving the city, and the thieves will not be able to take away the longevity flowers, and then keep a close eye on the pharmacies and alchemists in the city, if there are suspicious people, they will be arrested and interrogated immediately, and the stolen longevity flowers may not be recovered.

In addition, the Dongfang family also united with the Shen and Li families to carry out a strict census in the city, and anyone who could not prove their identity was sent to prison.

It's just that in this way, the accomplice who catches the drug thief becomes secondary.

The three major families took the opportunity to wipe out many people and small forces who did not obey them, and also merged some industries that did not belong to the three major forces but were very good at making money.

Living in the guest house of the Dongfang family, Shen Zhiwei's news channel is very narrow, either listening to the conversation between his father and mother, or listening to the servants' chatter.

In the past four or five days, the Dongfang family was still under martial law, the biggest thing was the theft of the longevity flower, and the second major event was that a certain elder used his power for personal gain, and all his net worth was confiscated and sent to the mountains to be responsible for mining and mining.

The downfall of an elder was sensational, and his descendants and dependents were implicated, and many people who had nothing to do with him were also imprisoned, which made the people of the Dongfang family's mansion panic, and everyone feared that the misfortune of others would befall them.

Of course, some people lose the qualifications to be powerful, and some people take over the power that they could not have before, or take back what once belonged to them, such as Dongfang Wuyang.

With his true skills and the support of the eldest brother of the head of the family, Dongfang Wuyang sat steadily in the seat vacated by the exiled elder, his personality became more flamboyant, and the smile on his face increased.

As the youngest daughter of Dongfang Wuyang, Shen Zhiwei is one of the beneficiaries, and she has received benefits: a Zhuangzi with little production and several barren and desolate mountains are classified under her name, as well as two shops that do not lose money or make money, and they don't have to bother to hold in their hands, and they can be sold for a little money.

Because she is too young to distinguish between right and wrong and has the ability to deal with things, Zhuangzi, Barren Mountain, and Shop are all managed by Dongfang Wuyang's subordinates, that is, these things do not really belong to her.

Shen Zhiwei only thought that Dongfang Wuyang borrowed his own name, and knew that there was such a thing.

Also taking advantage of the cheap ones were Shen He and Erya.

Speaking of Shen He, he was probably used to the stressful life of preparing for the college entrance examination every day, and lived in Dongfang's house for a day with nothing to do, I don't know if he was bored or afraid of his father's blame, he found Shen Yushu and asked to go home to review his homework.

“...... Did the cousins and sisters of your grandfather's family bully you?" Shen Yushu's face was delicate.

It's a good thing that my son doesn't like to play and study, but my son studies every day and has almost no desire to have fun, and he thinks his son is too old-fashioned.

"No, they were very nice to me. Shen He replied respectfully.

"Then you don't want to play with them?"

"Yes. But studies and practice are more important. Shen He said.

“......”

Shen Yushu had nothing to say, suspecting that the eldest son deliberately raised the bar with him.

If Shen He had answered him like this before he came to see his father-in-law, he would have been very pleased with his eldest son's well-behaved and sensible manners.

But his father-in-law specially taught him not to teach his children to be puppets who can only do things obediently and have no opinions of their own, and he feels very strange when he looks at Shen He at this time, just like Shen He has really become a wooden puppet with no mood swings.

Retracting his thoughts, Shen Yushu said: "Your cousins and cousins have their own merits, you interact with them more, learn from their vitality and what you think is good, I have no objection." ”

Shen He bowed his head, and when he left the study, he ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and he wanted to go home to get the unfinished homework, so as not to fall behind.

The master gave a lot of homework, Shen He was busy with his homework and had been studying in the room, and his cousin invited him to go out for a drink, but he also politely refused.

So, when Shen Yushu finished his day's work, he remembered his eldest son and called Shen He's little servant to understand the situation, and his face darkened.

"Tell the Master that from today onwards, you must appropriately reduce the homework of Ahe. ”

"And his cultivation, reduce the intensity of training a little. ”

How could it be that Shen He was used to obeying his father's arrangement, and suddenly he was idle, and he didn't know what to do.

Erya looked at Shen He in a daze again, knowing that her sister was smart, and whispered: "Look at him, he has been made a fool and an idiot by his father." Fortunately, I had a trouble with my mother once, otherwise I would have become like him, and I wouldn't be interested in seeing delicious food and fun...... Tsk, it's scary to think about!"

Shen Zhiwei: "This is the eldest brother, don't gloat." ”

Shen Erya: "Big brother is stupid, how can you mind!"

After saying that, he snatched Shen Zhiwei's hydrangea toy, sneakily smashed Shen He's head, and hit it.

Shen Zhi couldn't stop it, watched Shen He turn around, and looked over his eyes. And Shen Erya quickly flashed to the side, putting on a look of "I just happened to pass by, I didn't do anything", and knew that he was going to carry the bear child's pot again.

It's just that Shen He knows Erya's nature very well, and he came to find Erya's bad luck as soon as he flicked his sleeves, and Erya shouted wow, and really threw the pot to Shen Zhiwei: "Sansan did a bad thing, why are you chasing me?"

"Sansan can't hit me with a hydrangea, you must have framed Sansan. Shen He was diligent in cultivation and possessed second-order cultivation, so he easily grabbed Erya's arm, "Daddy is not here, I have the right to discipline you." ”

"Hehe, big brother, are you deliberately scaring me, let me go!" Er Ya thought Shen He was joking, but she didn't want Shen He to be really angry, so she slapped her buttocks, and the pain was then transmitted to the brain center.

Erya was a little stunned, and then exploded: "Why are you beating me?

Her eldest brother was expressionless: "If you don't respect your eldest brother, you should be beaten." "Another slap in the face.

Her younger sister smiled and watched her sister being beaten, and she was in a very happy mood.

The second girl begged for mercy to no avail, and felt that there was nothing to love.

The next day, Erya knew that there was a small shop under her name and was clamoring to see it.

Shen He couldn't bear her jumping up and down all kinds of naughty, drove people into the carriage, and took Shen Zhiwei with her, and went out to see the shop.

Dongfang Wuyang's shop for Erya is very close to home, but the location is remote, and it is a business of selling tofu and grinding beans. An old couple in their forties and fifties who were watching the store saw the luxury beast cart pulled by the one-horned white rhinoceros parked at the door, and their faces were full of smiles.

But when Erya saw them, she thought that the reality was lower than expected, and she was depressed like a defeated rooster: "What, this little shop, it's better to close it." ”

She didn't want to get out of the car, so she instructed the emperor: "Let's go, I'm going to Baiqiao Pavilion to buy something." I heard that the craftsmen of the Baiqiao Pavilion make singing wooden birds, which is interesting. ”

Shen Zhiwei rarely had the opportunity to go out, so he leaned on the car window and looked out, wanting to understand the environment near his home.

The street where the tofu workshop is located is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are many yellow mud and gravel dead leaves on the ground, and at the end of the stone slabs is a yellow mud road, with houses and other shops on both sides of the road, and a few seven or eight-year-old children are running around, playing and making noise.

If you look closely, they are collectively bullying people.

"Hah, fool!"

"Hit him!

"Won't he hurt......?

The bear child picked up stones and clods of earth from the ground and threw them at a girl with a disheveled head, who sat with his back to them in front of a house, silently enduring it.

This made the bear children even more unscrupulous, and someone actually picked up a stone the size of a bowl, walked behind the silly child, and smashed it down with a wicked smile.

"Bang!"

The stone struck her head, and the silly child jumped to her feet, and red blood poured out of the wound and ran down her face, quickly wetting her clothes.

The silly child waved his hand and pushed the bear child who smashed her to the ground.

The bear children were startled, saw that the stupid child was injured, and heard the shouting from the beast cart parked not far away, and knew that they had caused a big accident, and scattered in a hurry.

"Ahh

"Hurry up! You don't care if she dies or not, we'll be miserable if we are caught!"

The culprit got up in a panic, and was pushed down by the stupid child, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, come and help me!"

No one paid any attention to him, and the stupid boy covered the wounded place, picked up the blood-stained stone, held down the man who had smashed him, and hit him three times on the head.

At this time, Shen Zhiwei had just gotten out of the beast cart and saw the stupid child's revenge for a tooth clearly.

She didn't think it was wrong, but the stupid boy didn't know how serious it was, in case someone was stoned to death......

The bear child's head began to bleed, and he was not dead, but he cried and howled in pain, struggling desperately. Just as the stupid boy let go, the bear thing crawled and tried to escape, and the next moment it was picked up and slipped away.

The person who caught him was the guard who came out with Shen Zhiwei's three siblings.

Another guard came to the stupid girl, brushed her messy hair, saw a familiar beautiful face, and said, "Sure enough, it's a cub raised by the seventeenth master! The third lady is small, but her eyes are very powerful, and she can recognize her from afar!"

If it weren't for the fact that the third miss was too young, he would have suspected that the third miss had magical powers such as clairvoyance.

The guard took out the small porcelain bottle he had brought with him, poured out two small brown pills, and fed them to the boy dressed as a girl.

This is a medicine to stop bleeding and heal wounds.

The bear child didn't know that the pill was precious and didn't want to eat it, so he pinched his mouth open and swallowed the small pill with a grunt.

"Be honest, if you don't obey, you'll be sent to jail!" the guard threatened with a straight face.

He is a subordinate of Shen Yushu, and his surname is Shen.

The people surnamed Shen in An Yingcheng worship the same ancestor, and the guards can't see the flawed juniors of the same clan being bullied.

Picking up the stupid boy on his back, the guard returned to the side of the beast cart and told Shen He: "Both of them are injured, and they have to go to the pharmacy to find Lang Zhong to take a look." ”

Shen He nodded, asked the guards to put the two children into the beast cart, and ordered the emperor to go to the medicine shop.

Erya smelled the smell of blood on the two of them, covered her nose and said in disgust: "It stinks! Big brother, you are too, they are so dirty, why are you allowed them to come in?" Sansan, do you feel dirty?"

Shen Zhiwei didn't bother to talk to her.

Shen He regretted it a little, but everyone came in, so he couldn't turn his face and drive out, right?

After thinking about it, he said: "The pharmacy is not far away, just endure it, and it won't get in the way." ”

Erya pouted: "You can bear it, I don't want to bear it!"

Also coming out with the three siblings was the maid, who cleaned the wounds of the two children with cold boiled water under the command of Shen Zhiwei.

The bear child was still gritting his teeth and enduring it, but later he was stimulated by the pain, crying and shouting for his mother.

The stupid boy didn't say a word, and didn't seem to feel pain.

In contrast to the bleak cry of the bear child as if waiting to be slaughtered, Shen Zhiwei couldn't help but suspect that the stupid boy had a nervous system problem.

Raising his face to take a closer look, she realized that this guy was good at tolerating pain, and felt a little pity for him in her heart, and said, "It's better to shout out when it hurts." ”

The stupid boy didn't react.

The cart stopped in front of the pharmacy and the two children were taken down to treat their wounds.

Shen Zhiwei called two pharmacy guys and sent them to inform the parents of the bear child and the parents of the stupid boy.

"Sansan, how can you think about everything?" Shen He got off the beast cart and wondered, "I'm your eldest brother, so I'm supposed to handle this matter." But I didn't do anything, you arranged it. ”

"Look and think, learn and ask, and you will know how to do something. Shen Zhiwei said, "On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it." ”

Shen He touched his head, half-understanding.

Xiaomei hasn't started reading yet, who taught her to memorize poems?

"Can you go, I'm going to Baiqiao Pavilion!" Er Ya lifted the curtain of the car and said dissatisfiedly, "If you don't go, I'll go by myself." ”

"No, you can't. Shen He remembered his father's advice, "If you want to go, you can only go together, and you can't be left alone." ”

"There are maids and guards following, what are you afraid of!" Er Ya grinned and threw Shen He with melon seed shells, "You are just cowardly, you are afraid of this and that, you are more like a girl than a fool in a girl's clothes." ”

Shen He didn't bother to bother with her, and said solemnly: "You stay in the car and don't leave the guard's sight." If you want to eat, ask someone to buy it, don't go yourself. In case you meet a bad person, you will be in good hands!"

Erya responded very perfunctorily.

She also knew the stakes, so she lay in the car and ate melon seeds.

For a long time, the guards didn't hear any movement from the beast cart, and they were suspicious, so they hurriedly lifted the curtain to check the situation.

The maid lay in the beast cart and fell into a coma, and the second girl was gone.
