Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 140
Seeing that it was the old man who made the opinion just now, everyone calmed down.But Master Yang's words made everyone's hearts rise to their throats.

"My lord! There are old and young among the grassroots, there can be no accidents! How could the thugs on the boat be able to defeat the fierce Jiang bandits?"

Someone had a mournful face, already pale with fright.

Master Yang looked serious, "It's still unclear what the situation is, and I'm just planning for the worst. We have many guards from rich families on board, as well as bodyguards. Take the weapons that are handy. If there are any If the enemy invades, this official will defend against the enemy together with everyone."

"That's right! There are officials on board, so those Jiang bandits dare to attack the imperial court officials?" Some people breathed a sigh of relief when they thought of this.

"Okay! It's still important to quickly find out the murderer and rule out whether Jiang Bandits did it."

Master Yang didn't want to say much, so he asked shopkeeper Zhou to bring the man he caught immediately.

A man in gray and short brown collar was brought up immediately. Master Du was shocked when he saw this man.

"Ah Wei, how did you do this?" Master Du blurted out in shock.

The man called Awei raised his head, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"master!"

"Huh? Master Du knows this person?" Master Yang asked, pointing at the man.

Master Du nodded, "He is the nephew of the nanny Wang, but Cao Min doesn't know why he is on the boat. He clearly agreed to keep him in the capital to look after the house."

"Ah Wei! Master, they caught Ah Wei!"

An old woman's voice suddenly sounded, and Su Yizhao poked his head to look, only to see a stumbling figure suddenly rushing out of the crowd.

"Who is this woman?" Lord Yang frowned, this is not a government office, the mess made him quite a headache.

Master Du hurriedly said: "This is Mrs. Cao Min's nanny, Mrs. Wang!"

Su Yizhao looked at this nanny, she was covered with grape purple muslin double-breasted half-arm gown, and inside was a moon-white tunic.

She only wore a silver hairpin on her silver hair, and a pair of silver earrings on her ears, other than that, she had no other jewelry.

"Bold, how dare you make such a noise when you meet your lord?" Li Quan stepped forward and shouted angrily at the two of them.

Li Quan was tall and tall, changed his previous low profile, and blatantly hung the short sword on his waist.

As soon as he stood up at this moment, everyone immediately silenced.

"I'm asking you! Who are you?" Master Yang asked, pointing at Ah Wei.

Awei's arms were tied behind his back, and the thugs on the boat immediately pushed Awei to kneel in front of Mr. Yang.

"Grassman Wang Wei!"

"Ms. Wang! Is Wang Wei your nephew?" Lord Yang glanced at Mrs. Wang who was still crying, and asked loudly.

Reluctantly, Wang just kept sobbing, and eagerly stepped forward to hug Awei.

"Pull them away!" Master Yang frowned, displeased.

"My lord! Nanny Wang is hard of hearing. If you want to know something, you might as well ask Cao Min and Wang Wei." At this moment, Master Du took a step forward and replied.

"The official asks you, where are you from and where are you going? Tell me in detail!"

Master Yang sat at the top and began to question Master Du.

"Grassman Du Yuetong, wife Yao. He lives in Beijing, and his ancestral home is Luyang County, Hong Kong Prefecture. This time he returned to his hometown to visit relatives. His parents died early, and his ancestral home still has an uncle. Recently, a cousin sent a letter, saying that the uncle is in poor health. Well, so we decided to go back to our hometown to visit."

"You husband and wife are traveling together, how many servants did you bring?" Master Yang asked again.

"Originally, I only brought a nanny, but this Wang Wei got on the boat at some point." Du Yuetong replied truthfully.

"I see that your nanny, Mrs. Wang, is very old. Why do you take her on a boat and ride, but don't bring other servants to serve you?"

Master Yang finally asked Su Yizhao's question, and Su Yizhao was also very strange.

Bringing an elderly servant not only can't take care of his own daily life, but even if he gets sick, he needs to be taken care of by the master.

"Because the nanny is also from Luyang County, she had two brothers in her family before she was sold. Now that she is old, our husband and wife have already discussed that we will return the deed of sale and give her back her freedom. This time she learned that we are going back I was visiting relatives in my hometown, so I begged my wife to take her with me.”

"She also said that fallen leaves return to their roots, and she doesn't want to grow old in the capital, she wants to go back to her hometown!"

This explanation is also feasible, but without bringing other servants, how can this be explained?
"Then why don't you bring other servants to take care of the daily life?" Su Yizhao couldn't help asking.

This ancient master was used to being served by servants, so he would at least take one or two caregivers with him when he went out, right?
Speaking of this, Du Yuetong's face was a little sad.

"In fact, our Du family is a merchant. In recent years, we moved to the capital to do business. Not only did we not make any money, but we also lost a lot. Before returning to our hometown this time, we dismissed the family servants. Visiting relatives is one of them. I want to go back to my hometown to do business. Buying and selling is the second."

"Oh! So, you should have brought all your belongings?" Master Yang asked suspiciously.

"Yes! I was afraid that my uncle would pass away suddenly, so I left the shopkeeper in the capital to handle the shops and houses. We husband and wife took the soft goods and boarded the boat first."

Master Du felt sad while talking, "It's a pity that I didn't expect that this time I returned to my hometown, but my wife's life was killed."

"Master Du and his wife are deeply affectionate, which is touching. It's just that you are in the capital, and you and your wife are the only masters in your family?"

Su Yizhao finds it strange that as long as there is some money in this Dayun Dynasty, it is very common to take concubines.

Not to mention their husband and wife's children?Master Du didn't mention it at all.

"I have a son, and this year is the weakest crown. Let him go back to his hometown first. I'm afraid he has arrived in the near future. There was a Tongfang, but now he is going back, so he gave her money and sent her away."

Su Yizhao nodded, "Then where is she now?"

Master Du shook his head, "I don't know about that. After I send her away, I won't hear from her."

Should this man be affectionate or unfeeling?It seems that he has a deep affection for his wife, but there is still a room.

However, men in ancient times only regarded Tongfang as a thing for entertainment, and they stayed as long as they wanted, and went as long as they wanted.

snort!man!

Su Yizhao picked up the tea bowl indifferently, but in his heart he looked down upon such a man.

In this world, where can a weak woman go with some money?It really ruined someone's life.

"Wang Wei, what's going on?"

Master Yang looked at Mrs. Wang who had calmed down, she looked very dazed, she didn't know what happened.

"Wang Wei is the nephew of Wang's natal family. He came to the capital to join her. I heard from the nanny that the child she gave birth was choked to death by amniotic fluid, so the husband sold her.

All these years, her natal family still communicated with her by letter.She is illiterate, and always asks his wife to read letters for her. "

"That means Wang Wei is not your servant?"

Master Yang looked at Wang Wei suspiciously. It was very suspicious that this person appeared on the boat without any reason.
