Fair Lady

Chapter 9

When he was about to go up the mountain, Zhen Dafu suddenly had a headache, and the pain was so severe that he almost rolled on the ground.Someone said that he was going to ask for a doctor, but Mrs. Lin hurriedly stopped him: "No, no, he has an old problem. Use hot and cold water to compress it alternately, drink some ginger tea, and take a rest. It's just that we can't send my sister up the mountain." Yes, and also, leave Cui Zhu to help me, all we brought are men."

Someone in the crowd snorted coldly: "It turns out that I don't want to work hard to go up the mountain, so I just go back. Do I need to pretend to be sick?" The neighbors saw through the faces of the two couples yesterday.

Lin's fat face turned red, and she was about to piss her off, but Shuyao pulled Shujie's lapel: "Brother, don't let them go, mother said she didn't want to see them, and so did Cuizhu. She didn't dare to run away, mother Said that the fugitive slave would be beaten to death if caught.”

Cui Zhu, who was lowering her head, shuddered when she heard this sentence. Da Zhou had strict controls on buying people as slaves, but the controls on slaves were even stricter.Once they are slaves, they are really like the cats and dogs raised by the master. Life, death, and sale are all up to the master.Unless the master's family was kind and let go of the deed, if they fled privately, if they were caught, their lives would be worse than death, and even those who harbored escaped slaves would be severely punished.

Shujie didn't care whether these people went or not, so he nodded immediately and said to the neighbors: "Don't pay attention to them, let's go."

The cemetery they were going to was the entire burial land that Xia Linxuan bought before his death, where both Xia Linxuan and the Zhao family were buried.The White Monkey Mountain where the cemetery is located is still a long way away, and it took nearly half an hour to walk down the mountain. Zhen Zirou's coffin was placed on a long cart.The young Shuyao and Shuwen also sat on the cart and supported the coffin.

Watching the funeral procession walk out of Xitang Street, Mrs. Lin quickly ran back to the yard: "Let's go, we're all gone, let's look for it quickly." Zhen Dafu jumped up from the floor of the corridor, and saw that he was still kneeling on the ground in a daze Cui Zhu kicked him violently: "I still don't look for your body deed, do you really want to be sold to the building? Dayong will not go to the building to redeem you." Lin Dayong is Lin's younger brother , is also a good friend of Cuizhu.

Cui Zhu woke up suddenly, and stood up quickly, as long as she found the deed and the birth certificates of Shuyao and Shuwen, she would not be afraid. As for the government, Shangshufu will take care of it.

Lin grabbed Cuizhu who was about to run to Shuyao's room: "We have searched those two rooms, and there is nothing of value."

Cuizhu was stunned: "Impossible, the three of them each have a treasure chest. The deed and birth certificate must be in the girl's treasure chest. She likes to put all kinds of treasures in it. By the way, there are many treasure chests in their house." Good things from Mrs. Weiyuanhou.

Zhen Dafu frowned: "Indeed there is nothing inside, except for the two locked drawers in that room, we have checked everything else." He raised his right hand and pointed to Shujie's and Shuwen's rooms.

Cui Zhu was shocked: "Did they all hide? Yesterday my wife talked so much to the girl!"

Lin cursed bitterly: "Didn't you say that Zhen Zirou didn't notice anything? You idiot! If you had said that she had found out earlier, we would have to find another way. Maybe we would have taken the things back long ago, and we wouldn't Burned up in vain."

Cuizhu was very aggrieved: "It was true that everything was normal before. It was not until yesterday that I realized that my wife seemed to avoid me and wanted to say something to the young master. I drove the young master to Mr. Wu before going out. Mr. Wu said that Mrs. But last night, I didn't think it had anything to do with it. Who knew that it rained for such a long time, and my wife turned around and talked so much with the girl."

Lin still wanted to scold again, but Zhen Dafu waved his hand impatiently: "Let's hurry up and find something, there is only such a yard in all, where else can the little girl hide things?

They turned the three rooms upside down, prying open two drawers in Shujie's room, but unfortunately, it was empty.

"Under the tree, sweet-scented osmanthus tree" Cuizhu suddenly shouted.

"What are you talking about? What kind of sweet-scented osmanthus tree?" Mrs. Lin was taken aback, slapping the green bamboo and cursing.

"Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree," Cui Zhu explained, "for a while, the girl didn't know what stories my wife told, she liked to dig holes under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and bury things under it."

Zhen Dafu's eyes lit up: "Yes, it must be, quickly dig."

The utility room was burnt down, and they could not find hoes and shovels. They brought spatulas and kitchen knives from the kitchen, and the green bamboo pointed out the direction. Four servants who followed were digging around. Not working hard.

Sure enough, some purses, small paper boxes, and oiled paper bags were dug up one after another soon, but inside were small hairpins, or a few oddly shaped small stones.

After a lot of difficulty, the spatula in one of the servants touched a hard object, and he poked it a few times: "Master, it seems to be a whole piece."

Zhen Dafu was excited: "Be careful, be careful, pick it up with your hands." Little girl!Sure enough, everything is hidden here.The few of them are obsessed with money, so they don't use their brains to think about it. It was raining heavily before they arrived yesterday. How does a six-year-old girl in Shuyao dig a hole to hide treasure?

The four carefully pawed for a while, and a small square wooden box about one foot wide was indeed revealed.Zhen Dafu and Lin's eyes sparkled: "Dig it out, dig it out, be careful."

The small wooden box was dug out, very light.

Zhen Dafu said, "How much do those birth certificates and bank notes weigh?"

Lin thought about it, didn't she?Pushing aside the servant next to him with one hand, he snatched the wooden box and hugged it in his arms: "You all go away!"

The servant was holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and when he was pushed suddenly, he jumped, and stepped back on the two round white pebbles he dug out just now, and slipped suddenly. The kitchen knife flew out, just as the blade hit Zhen Dafu's right foot downwards, blood gushed out immediately, and quickly stained the black cloth boots red.

"Ah---" A loud scream spread almost across the entire street.

Those who stayed at home to do business and did not go to the funeral hurriedly followed the sound and rushed into Xia's yard, only to find that it was in a mess everywhere, and a big hole had been dug under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

"What are you doing? Why are you digging Shujie's yard? What are you people looking for? From yesterday to today." Qing Fu, who stayed up all night with Shujie last night, pointed angrily at Zhen Dafu asked loudly.

Aunt Li's 8-year-old daughter, Qiutao, is very clever. She heard the discussion between her parents and her two older brothers yesterday. She knew that these bad guys wanted to steal things from Shuyao's sister's house, so she immediately went to several rooms to take a look around. , came out and complained to the village chief who just arrived: "Uncle Zhang, these people went to Yao'er's younger sister's house to steal things. All three rooms were turned into a mess, and the locks of the drawers were even picked."

The district chief Zhang Shiwen lived two streets away from Xitang Street, and it happened that his mother-in-law, who accompanied his daughter-in-law to a neighboring county to see a sick person, was not at home these past few days, and she came back very late last night.Just now I heard that the lady of the Xia family had gone, so I ran over quickly, only to realize that everyone had already gone up the mountain.Xia Linxuan once saved Zhang Shiwen's life, and the relationship between the two families is very good.Zhang Shiwen was about to go home and ask his wife to go to White Monkey Mountain together when he heard Zhen Dafu's scream.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the chaos in the yard and heard Qingfu's accusation. I already knew that the people under the tree were not good people. Now I heard Qiutao's complaint and said angrily: "Neighbors, tie up these people!" Go to the county government."

Yulin Town is on the border of Damingfu City and Yulin County, and the county government of Yulin County is located in Yulin Town.

"Fuck off, I'm Zhen Zirou's elder brother, Shuyao's uncle, and I'm the master of this family. It's none of your business to turn the pages as you like?" Zhen Dafu was in pain, and someone wanted to tie him to the county government office. , screaming in anger.

"Hmph," Zhang Shiwen sneered, "When will my brother-in-law become the head of my brother-in-law's house? I would like to ask the county magistrate, when did our Da Zhou promulgate such a new decree?"

Mrs. Lin hurried forward to grab Zhen Dafu, and said with a grimace: "Don't, don't, this village chief, he's dizzy from the pain, don't argue with him. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. We are looking for An ancestral jade pendant from our Zhen family, our old lady gave it to my aunt in the early years. Now that my aunt is gone, we want to get it back and keep it as a memory for the old lady. It's not stealing, it's not stealing, we will also if we find it Discuss with Shuyao sister and brother."

Who doesn't know that Mr. Yang, the magistrate of Yulin County, and Xia Linxuan, the first arrester of Yulin, are worshiping brothers?Now that the birth certificates have not been found, it is really a big mess, and the Shang Shufu will not help them get them out of the county government.

Zhen Dafu was pinched secretly by Lin, his mind became clearer, and he quickly grinned with his teeth: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

Mother, his foot really hurts, is it broken?He turned his head and yelled at Cui Zhu: "Go to hell, why don't you go to Mr. Wu, do you want to watch my uncle bleed out?"
