Chapter 4 I want to live with a smile (1)

Ever since it was confirmed that Shen Huai had been poisoned, and the poison was dangerous, the two attendants couldn't hide their inner worries.

The carriage drove for a while in the twilight, and Xu Yuan asked in a low voice: "My lord, it's important to cure the poison, do you want to inform me from the capital?"

Gao Jun parted the curtain of the car, and got his head in for a second opinion: "Yes, son, your life is at stake now, so don't be self-willed!"

Today's attendants dare to say that the master is wayward?

Shen Huai glanced over coldly, and Gao Jun couldn't help but narrow the slit of the car curtain.

"It's business as usual. It's not like I won't be able to move immediately. If I let them know that I'm in Huai'an now, I'm afraid I'll be annoyed to death before I'm poisoned to death. If you can't find Liu Sandian, you still want to persuade me?" Can I go to the capital and lie down to die?"

"My lord!" The two attendants were worried about the juncture, hearing what he said, disregarding the rules, they spoke in unison to dissuade him.

Shen Huai knew very well that he had actually turned the matter around a few times in his mind, at this moment he finally sighed, leaned his body back against the carriage, stroked the wound on his waist and closed his eyes, saying: "You two, when the matter arrives, What's the use of panicking? I can still hold on, you two cheer up and find Liu Sandian quickly. Before that, don't make a sad face and make me happy."

The two had no choice but to agree.

After a while, Gao Jun made fun of himself outside the car: "Master, that female thief is really wicked, the five people's feet are bare, and their toes can touch the ice when they are straightened out, but they dare not put their strength into it." Be careful, I was afraid that I would break through the ice, and I didn’t dare to struggle hard, for fear that the hemp rope would break and fall into the river, with a sock stuffed in my mouth, so I couldn’t call for help.”

But Xu Yuan said: "I don't think the right and wrong here may be what they said. The five men went to tie up a girl. They obviously had bad intentions, but they didn't do anything to them. It seems that they mostly meant punishment and warning."

Gao Jun actually thought this was the case, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Young Master, how do you know that there is excitement under this bridge?"

No one answered him, Shen Huai was wrapped in a cloak, leaning against the carriage, but he had already fallen asleep, his exhaustion could hardly be concealed.

Xu Yuan hurriedly poked Gao Jun through the car curtain, and asked in a low voice, "After you finished asking, what did you do with that stinky sock?"

Gao Jun was reminded, and immediately lowered his voice: "Oh, I stuffed them back again."

...Xu Yuan thought silently in his heart, it is you who are bad.

Gao Jun looked back at his expression, and added: "Young master said, just look at it, don't do anything else."

Xu Yuan snorted: "You make up the knife, they may be able to stop for a while, and it's considered a help to that woman."

In the middle of the night, a watchman went to the yamen to report to the officials that someone was calling for help under the Heman bridge. He took a lamp to shine it, and it seemed that a monster with many heads was floating in the air.

The yamen servant on duty wrapped his cotton coat tightly when he heard the words, and said that he must have been delusional, so stop talking nonsense.As a result, at dawn, small businessmen who got up early and set up their stalls also came to report that someone was hanging on the ice under the Heman bridge, and it seemed that they were about to freeze to death.

The yamen servant hurriedly called his colleagues to rush over, and he saw five people hanging from the bridge with their toes stretched out. There was a pool of yellow icicles between their toes and the river surface, which looked like urine.There was a man who had been spitting out his stinky socks for a long time, but he was so cold that he couldn't speak tremblingly.

People couldn't stand on the ice, so the yamen servants had to waste their strength to pull the five people up and dragged them to the yamen with a cart.Unexpectedly, after the five people regained their strength, they hesitated and couldn't say anything. They couldn't explain why they ran to Heman Bridge, and they couldn't explain who hung them all night.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there are ghosts among them, but if these little ghosts don't cry out for their own injustice, the Yamen can't do anything.In the end, I informed the troupe master of Chunxing Opera Troupe, who came over and muttered to a few people, then took them away with an extremely ugly face.

Su Ya had the New Year's holiday, so it was rare for her to sleep for a while. After getting up, she had breakfast and listened to Yan's story about this novelty, laughing so hard.

After laughing, she bit the steamed bun in surprise, did those people lose their nerve after being hanged all night?They didn't bite back in front of the government, and they really lived up to their notoriety of selling people to brothels at every turn.

"It is said that these people must have done something immoral and were punished."

Yan Shi also thought it was funny, and while laughing, brought a few bolts of cloth from the yard, spread them on the bed and prepared to cut them.

Su Ya was surprised: "Mother, where did our family get so much cloth and cotton?"

"Old Uncle Zhou brought it here early in the morning. He told me to sew eight brocade quilts quickly. They will come to pick them up at night."

"So many? Do you need to be in such a hurry? Let me help you." Su Ya put away the bowls and chopsticks, and hurried over to ask for help.

But Yan chased her away, "You can't help, old uncle Zhou said that Zhou Dazhu went to Zhuangzi to collect rent and he hasn't come back yet, and the dust removal of Zhou's house this year hasn't been finished yet, so he asked you to go over and help after dinner. You go and have a look, tonight Come back early, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we have to go to the New Year's Fair."

"Oh, I'll go then."

Su Ya came out of Xiuyi Lane, turned left and then left again, and came to the spacious Wenchang Lane. The long stone-paved road can accommodate two horse-drawn carriages. Compared with Xiuyi Lane, it is very grand. After two mansions, we arrived at Zhou's house.

The housekeeper Lao Zhou was cleaning the two door knockers on the gate, Su Ya stepped forward to say hello, "Father Zhou, are you happy today?"

"Happy, happy! I am so happy to have a master town house this year!"

Lao Zhou's two eyebrows hung almost obliquely on his forehead, his eyes were narrowed into a slit, and every wrinkle was filled with joy, and he wiped vigorously with a rag in his hand, not to mention the copper door knocker, even the door The patina was almost wiped out by him, it was shiny!

"Is there someone from Homeowner Zhou's house?" It turned out that the origin of the eight-bed brocade quilt that Old Zhou sent to Yan's rush to make was here!

Su Ya was quite surprised. It is said that the owner of Zhou's house moved to Hangzhou decades ago, leaving only three old servants to guard the house to collect the land rent. How could he suddenly rush back to the old house before New Year's Eve?

Old Zhou didn't care about her doubts, and his subordinates kept on talking, saying that this year's dust removal was not thorough enough, and that he should be more careful when the master came. Why didn't Zhou Dazhu come back after going to the farm to collect rent? Let Su Ya go to work quickly.

When Su Ya came in, Lao Zhou was still yelling at the back, saying that he would go shopping later, and asked her to ask grandma if she had anything to do.

Su Ya agreed, turned left and walked through two moon doors to the kitchen. The fire was burning under the stove, but there was no one in the bright kitchen.

"Mother-in-law?"

Su Ya yelled softly, but no one responded. She saw that the fire stick under the stove was overheated and was about to fall off, so she went over to straighten the fire stick, and then turned to look in the small courtyard of the back kitchen. Attacked, a hidden weapon went straight to the Fengchi acupoint on the back of her head!
