Chapter 7 Life is like a play and acting skills (2)

Gao Jun dragged Su Ya to find Lao Zhou, and Lao Zhou realized later that he seemed to have made a wrong arrangement, so he carefully apologized to Gao Jun, and then carefully explained the reasons why he hired Su Ya to help clean and temporarily asked Su Ya to send the bonsai I told you.

Gao Jun's face was serious, and he gave a heavy warning: "The young master is recuperating from illness, so those who are irrelevant should not enter Huaiyuexuan."

The irrelevant Su Ya lowered her head, rubbed her arms and remained silent.

From Gao Jun's perspective, she could only see her hooked head, revealing a pink birthmark on her cheek, spreading from her temples to her cheeks, as if feeling his scrutiny, Su Ya lowered her head even lower.

Gao Jun returned to Huaiyuexuan, and when he heard that Su Ya was the female thief who kidnapped someone, he was shocked from ear to ear: "This is not the same person as what Lao Zhou said! Did she have a plan to sneak into Zhou's house?" ?”

Whether there is any attempt, you will find out after checking.

The two were well-trained and acted separately, and at night they checked Su Ya to the bottom.

"Su Ya is 17 years old this year. Her family used to be a military household. Her father was a small leader in the Caobing. In the 18th year of Chenghua, when the Yellow River burst its embankment, he died to save others. He left the widow and orphan behind. Soon after moving out from the military household camp in Qingjiangpu, he is currently renting a private house in Xiuyi Lane, which is separated by a wall back to back from Zhou's house, and Su Ya works as a reporter at a local private printing company called Tianhui Bookstore every day. My lady, I teach the book for the female families of various prefectures, and sell some of Su's mother's embroidery to make a living." Xu Yuan stood by the desk, studying ink while reporting.

Gao Jun was in charge of investigating in the house, and nodded upon hearing this: "This is similar to what Lao Zhou said, and her background is quite pitiful. Then how did she get into the Chunxing troupe?"

"The novels written in Huai'an are more popular than other places. This Su Ya is well-known and good at telling legends, and has won the approval of the women's families in various prefectures. The Chunxing class felt that they had been robbed of their business, so they wanted to take revenge on her. It is said that they have been warned before. After passing Su Ya a few times, the girl didn't take her seriously, and the people of the Chunxing Troupe became malicious, planning to take advantage of the chaos at the end of the year, tie her up and sell her to a brothel in another place."

"Hiss! Selling a good girl to a brothel? Beast!" Gao Jun gasped, "Yesterday you dared to lie to me that you just wanted to arrest someone, and you deserved to be hung in the wind and frozen all night! No, you should be castrated directly...don't you Stare at me, I don't talk like that outside, you go on and say: How did she get involved with Zhou Zhai? Look at the difference between the two of us."

Xu Yuan persisted and glared at Gao Jun again, seeing that the master who was writing with his head bowed did not speak, so he continued to report.

"Two and a half years ago, the old nurse in the house, grandma, fell down at the fish market by the canal, and Su Ya brought her back. Su Ya also took care of grandma after the fall. Old Zhou and the others saw this The girl is kind-hearted, hard-working and poor, and grandma's body was broken after she fell down, and a few old servants also needed someone to help, so she was asked to come to help with odd jobs for an hour every day, and this has been helping until now."

"Well, Lao Zhou and grandma also said the same, Su Ya is a kind girl."

"Looking at the time, she has been working in Zhou's house for more than two years, so there is nothing suspicious about it... But an ordinary woman is not capable of easily knocking down five big men, and even tying them up and hanging them on the bridge railing. I haven't found out the origin of her martial arts, where did this orphan girl learn martial arts?"

Gao Jun was taken aback: "Isn't her father Cao Bing? It's reasonable to teach her some kung fu while she was alive."

"How much martial arts can be cultivated in the military camp? Su Ya lost her father at the age of 12. Even if her father is not an ordinary soldier, but a martial arts master who is not doing well, the soldiers spend all the year on the canal, how can they have time at home?" teaching?"

"Maybe Su Ya is very talented and a martial arts wizard?"

"...You really dare to think about it, but it's a pity that you didn't expect to be on the right path. The point is - when she walks outside, she pretends to be completely ignorant of martial arts. At least you didn't notice it when you caught her yesterday." Xu Yuan didn't care. He stingily gave Gao Jun a supercilious look.

"...This woman is really cunning!" Gao Jun was embarrassed, so he hurriedly found a step and flattered his master: "Fortunately, the young master has a good sense of the details, and he saw through her disguise yesterday with a casual glance."

At this time, Shen Huai had finished writing the letter in his hand. He squeezed the letter paper with his slender fingers and shook it dry, folded it and stuffed it into a blank envelope. He personally melted wax on the seal and dripped it on the seal. Cover with a small seal.

"Orphans and widows, it's not easy to make a living. It's not a problem to have some self-preservation thoughts. Her father can lay down his life to save others, and she herself is enthusiastic about helping others. When punishing the theater troupe, remember to stay on the line. Maybe the family style will not be bad. Let's keep it for now." It doesn’t hurt to observe it.” He focused on two things, and now he went through the reports of the two attendants again in his mind and gave instructions.

"Yes."

Shen Huai pondered for a while, and said again: "As for the origin of martial arts...she goes in and out of Zhou's residence frequently, have the three old servants of Zhou's residence checked?"

Gao Jun hurriedly replied: "Old Zhou and Zhou Dazhu are relatives, uncles and nephews. They are both the sons of the Zhou family. The grandma was the nurse who was chosen from Zhuangzi for Miss Zhou's family 30 years ago. Later, she married Miss Zhou to Yangzhou. Miss Zhou passed away within two years, leaving no heirs behind, so she returned to Huai'an, because no one was left behind after the flood in her home, the Zhou family remembered her devotion to the eldest lady, and allowed her to stay for the elderly. I have observed all three of them one by one, and I have not seen any abnormalities so far."

It sounded nothing unusual, so Shen Huai pointed to the letter and said to Xu Yuan, "Send it out."

Xu Yuan picked up the letter, but hesitated for a moment: "My lord, will our days in Huai'an be peaceful after sending this letter?"

Gao Jun also looked at Shen Huai with concern, expecting his affirmation.

"Unless I'm completely abolished, how can there be peace?" Shen Huai had a half-smile on his face, his eyes darkened, "That idiot Zhao Qing was lucky, and couldn't wait to do something wrong in the barracks, probably because he thought I was He has no power, no power and no evidence. I can't do anything to him. If I swallow this loss, I will probably die. It is also a disaster to keep it. Let the people in Beijing deal with him. You can spare time to find Liu Sandian. "

"Yes! At this time of the Chinese New Year, Liu Sandian will never stay in the deep mountains and old forests. Even if the subordinates dig Huai'an City three feet into the ground, they will dig him out!"

Xu Yuan carefully put the letter into his bosom, and told Gao Jun to take good care of his master, then decisively rushed into the night, looking for someone.

Gao Jun went to close the door and turned around in surprise: "My lord, it's snowing."

It's snowing, and the fluttering at the beginning is not too big, but it is very suitable for the season.

Shen Huai seemed to be aroused by his thoughts, and walked slowly to the corridor, reaching out to catch a few snowflakes.

Gao Jun followed behind, worried that he would catch a cold, but looking at Shen Huai's expression, he wanted to speak but dared not speak, so he could only carry the medicine pot to boil medicine again in a murmur.

The strong medicine prescribed by Zhang Shenmu needs to be taken every three hours. I didn't dare to persuade me any more.

In the small courtyard separated by a wall from Zhou's house, the rice cake dough is fermenting in the steamer, thinking that Yan Shi, who will get up early tomorrow, is already asleep.

Su Ya walked out of the house lightly, jumped onto the wall, and crossed the roof of Zhou's house.

The snowflakes fell on the tiles, which were a little slippery. Su Ya's soles slipped accidentally, and she immediately fell down on the ground in guilt. Seeing that there was no movement around, she lightly touched the distance again.

Gao Jun had just returned from fetching water, and was surprised to see Shen Huai waved his hand to him, made a gesture of prohibiting following, and then tapped his toes on the corridor, and the wounded young man disappeared like a wisp of smoke. In the snowy night.
