Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 185 Didn't Wait

Zhao Luoyang was taken aback by Widow Xie's words.

"Auntie," Zhao Luoyang said, "You read that right?"

Widow Xie didn't hesitate: "Your aunt can't do anything else, but she likes to do needlework. You can understand those stitches at a glance. When the girl's body was found before, didn't the girl not wear pants? I feel sorry for her. I went to the house to help her find it, so I took a look at the clothes she was wearing."

"The girl's clothes were embroidered with orchids, which looked quite different. Later, you brought back a lot of burnt things from Zhuangzi. We picked out the cloth and washed it. When I washed it, I found that some of it hadn't been burnt. Cloth, the embroidery pattern on it is somewhat similar to that girl's, but I'm not sure."

"The people from the village came over just now, and I stood by and watched. The dress worn by the girl among the three of them was also embroidered with orchids. I carefully identified it, and it was very similar to the embroidery on the piece of cloth found in Zhuangzi. That's why I called you over."

Widow Xie didn't wait for Zhao Luoyang to respond, she pulled her closer: "Come over with me to have a look, I'll keep the cloth, you can recognize it."

Zhao Luoyang stopped Widow Xie: "Auntie, don't worry, I won't be late to see them after they leave." She stayed here, maybe she could still hear some news.

Because even if the cloth is similar to what the people in the village wear, you can't just tell the people in the village rashly, you have to report this matter to the government office first.

Although Widow Xie didn't understand Zhao Luoyang's meaning, she believed that what Sister Luo did was right, so she didn't rush this moment, especially for such a big event, she had to think about it carefully.

Zhao Luoyang turned around and walked back to the house. The people in the village should not only come to see where the body was found, but also ask about the situation at that time.

And the one who died was a female family member, Zhao Luoyang guessed that people in the village would look for a woman if they wanted to ask, so she stood at the place closest to the house so that people in the village could see her when they came out.

About a moment later, three people came out of the room. The eye circles of the three people were all red. The woman even wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. Then she raised her eyes and searched around, and her eyes fell on Zhao Luoyang's face. superior.

Zhao Luoyang immediately went forward: "Sister, it's cold, you go inside and drink some hot water!"

Bai Yuwei looked at the girl in front of her, and she nodded with concern in her expression, "I'll just follow you there, they'll be waiting outside." She did have something to ask the people in the village .

Zhao Luoyang led Bai Yuwei to sit down in his house: "We just moved here, and we haven't bought anything at home yet, sister will just make it up."

Bai Yuwei didn't care to look at these things. She found that the men in the village hadn't followed her, and she felt relieved again, so it was easier for her to ask questions.

Bai Yuwei said: "My surname is Bai. The person you found was my sister Ashu. I want to ask, what happened when you saw Ashu?"

Zhao Luoyang said: "Our sixteen households came to Taozhou under the order of the imperial court to relocate people. My name is Zhao Luoyang. Sister Bai can just call me Luoyang."

Bai Yuwei nodded.

Zhao Luoyang continued: "Sister Ashu was seen by my two aunts. At that time, she was huddled in the water tank, and she couldn't see clearly. After we rescued her, we found that she was long gone. .”

"Because I'm a female family member, all the men in our place avoided it. It was all the female family members who took things to cover up for Sister Ashu. Don't worry about this, it didn't make Sister Ashu disgraceful."

Everyone is dead, and now what Bai Yuwei wants to know is nothing more than these.

Hearing these words, Bai Yuwei's tears flowed down again involuntarily.

Zhao Luoyang continued: "We came here on the first day, and we were not familiar with the place of life, so we went to the government office to find the civil servant who registered for us. The body was taken to the Yamen."

Bai Yuwei probably knew everything about it, but what she wanted to know were some details: "Ah Shu, isn't she wearing pants?"

Zhao Luoyang nodded bluntly: "Sister Ashu's skirt is a bit messy, she didn't wear pants and socks under the skirt, one shoe was left in the tank, and the other shoe was searched around but couldn't be found. We cleaned up the yard later. , I didn't see it either."

Bai Yuwei's hands trembled slightly. Thinking of Ah Shu's situation at that time, she was both angry and distressed. When Ah Shu secretly left the village, they went to look for her, but they never expected that she would die here.

It's not far from the stockade, what happened to her then?
Zhao Luoyang said: "Sister Bai, don't be too sad, Sister Ashu is gone, the most important thing right now is to find out all this. See if there is anything we can help, feel free to ask."

Bai Yuwei hadn't mentioned this before, but she didn't expect this girl to mention it first, her eyes flashed with gratitude.

"Thank you," Bai Yuwei's voice was softer than before, "We want to look around, is there anything left behind by Ah Shu, can you agree?"

Zhao Luoyang said: "In the daytime, there are old and young people in the village. You can ask people to come over, but don't have too many people, so as not to make everyone panic. We have people on duty at night, so it is not good for people to walk around."

Bai Yuwei was a little surprised. When she asked this question, she didn't expect the girl to immediately agree. She thought the girl would go to the village to discuss it.

Could it be that the girl from the Zhao family can make the decisions in the village?
How old is Miss Zhao?At least she was younger than her. If the girl from the Zhao family in the village could talk, it would be really extraordinary.

Moreover, the girl from the Zhao family spoke very tactfully, promising that they could come around the village to look for things, but it had to be during the day, and of course not at night.

Bai Yuwei said: "If we come to look for it, we will come during the daytime, and there will be no more than three of us."

Zhao Luoyang nodded: "I will tell the people in the village to let everyone know."

After saying this, Zhao Luoyang was a little hesitant, but she thought about it and said, "Should I sue the government office? The secretary of the government office told us, let us pay attention, but anything that may be related to this matter, They all have to go and report."

Hearing the government office, Bai Yuwei's eyes flashed with disdain.

It seems that the people in the village at least don't trust the government office very much.Zhao Luoyang continued to test: "We walked all the way, and heard that a Master Zhao came to the county, and that Master Zhao saved many people..."

Zhao Luoyang didn't continue talking because she saw that Bai Yuwei's expression softened slightly.

Bai Yuwei said: "Something happened in Taozhou, and the government office probably won't be able to take care of it. After a long time, I'm afraid some things will be more difficult to check. Rather than waiting like this, we might as well ask around."

"However, you still report the news of our coming here as the government office said, so as not to cause trouble for you."

Having finished speaking, Bai Yuwei got up and prepared to leave.

"Sister Bai," Zhao Luoyang called to stop her, "is your shirt embroidered with orchids? I think it looks similar to what Sister Ashu is wearing."

"Well," Bai Yuwei stretched out her hand to touch the embroidery, her fingers caressing it with great care, "Ah Shu likes to embroider orchids, this is her craft."

Zhao Luoyang and Bai Yuwei went out together.

Bai Yuwei originally wanted to finish asking Zhao Luoyang, and then ask the rest of the female relatives in the village, but Zhao Luoyang had made it very clear, so there was no need for this, so she went with the two of them to look for A Shu's family. Things.

"Sister Bai," Zhao Luoyang said, "we will go to Huang's Village not far away in a while, but there will be some people left in the village. If you need anything, just go find them."

Zhao Luoyang and the others were going to Wangjiazhuangzi, but they found that the one who made the cloth was Huangjiazhuangzi, so Zhao Luoyang specifically mentioned Huangjiazhuangzi to see if the people in the village were a little strange.

"Okay." Bai Yuwei responded simply.

It seems that there is no doubt about Huang's Zhuangzi at all. Even if Ah Shu has any connection with Huang's Zhuangzi, the people in the village probably don't know about it.

After Bai Yuwei and others left, Zhao Luoyang turned to look for Widow Xie: "Auntie took me to see the cloth."

……

Xiao Yu got up early to read the documents, but compared with usual, he looked outside the door more often.

Why hasn't it arrived yet?
Did something happen to you?

Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

"Here we come," Huaiguang said with a smile as he opened the door, "The people from Sixteen Households have arrived."

Xiao Yu nodded, as if he didn't care, but the next moment his brows frowned.

"However, the girl from the Zhao family didn't come."
