The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 50 Clearing the Fog ([-])

Ban Xia came over and said, sir, please Fang Xiuyi to go over and talk.

When Fang Xiu entered, he saw He Huai'an sitting there, seeming a little depressed.

"grown ups!"

"Are they all gone?"

"Yeah. They still wanted to worship their mother, but I refused, are you okay?"

"It doesn't matter, I have already rejected Mr. Wang and the others."

Fang Xiuyi relaxed a little. Fortunately, he didn't make a wrong decision.

"Is there something you want to tell me, my lord?"

He Huai'an signaled Fang Xiuyi to sit down, and then said, "One of the things is that the unknown person has been identified."

"Really? So fast!" In just two days, the identity of a dead person was known!
"It happened by coincidence. The yamen looked through the list of missing people reported in the past two years. They happened to know one of them. In addition, the foreman found out that he had broken his leg, so he quickly found out his identity. His family had already confirmed it. The shoes are all his, and the time is just right, they disappeared in the twelfth lunar month of the year before last."

"who is it?"

"It's the eldest son of the Zheng family in the north of the city."

Fang Xiuyi thought for a while, "I know this person, but I haven't met him. Speaking of which, I told the story in the Zheng family."

"Then did you hear anything?"

"This Mr. Zheng seems to be in his twenties, because I have met his wife, and they should be about the same age. Among the people who listened to my story at that time was their daughter. This man doesn't seem to have a good reputation, but he seems to be I haven't heard of any evil deeds." Fang Xiuyi was only focused on making money to support his family at the time, so he couldn't care less about so much gossip, "Killing people is only for love, money, or seeking revenge. I don't know what it is for."

He Huai'an stroked the jade pendant in his hand, which was given to him by Fei Yu.

"They're already looking."

"By the way, my lord, what about the other thing?"

"One more thing is that the Li brother you mentioned, the younger brother is dead."

Fang Xiu was taken aback, "How could it be? So young! Is it an accident?"

"Yes, it is said that he was drunk and fell into a pond and died."

Fang Xiuyi thought about the situation of the two brothers at that time, "It's really pitiful. As I remember, the two brothers are not very old, and they both call me Sister Fang. The elder brother is somewhat lacking in intelligence, and the younger brother is very flexible and can speak well. They also have a widowed mother who is not in good health. Now that the younger brother is gone, the life of the mother and son must be very difficult. Speaking of it, although they have not known each other for a long time, Siyuan still likes that elder brother, he is very straightforward .”

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy, and Fang Xiuyi also thought of their mother, "Speaking of their mother, she is also a very strong person, and her health is not good. I heard that she brought two children here to find relatives, but the relatives are long gone. , and settled here.”

"There are always sorrows and sorrows in the world. Don't be obsessed with it." He Huai'an tried his best to comfort Fang Xiuyi.

Fang Xiu hesitated for a moment before asking He Huai'an: "My lord, can I go out for a while?"

"Are you going to visit the Li family?"

"Yes, I can't let it go."

"I go with you."

Fang Xiu waved her hands again and again, "No need, my lord. There may be someone who wants to report something to you. Besides, the residents in those places are more mixed, so it may be inconvenient."

"You can go, I can't?"

Fang Xiuyi had no choice but to agree, "Then change your clothes, my lord." The clothes on He Huai'an were white, which was too eye-catching.

Fang Xiuyi changed into dark clothes, He Huai'an wore a gray robe, and went out with the most streamlined lineup—Mother Shi, Shan Xing, Ban Xia, four guards and tall horses.Fang Xiuben wanted to object to this, but thought of He Huai'an's identity, so he gave up.

"Why don't you take me around Jiangning later, I've never been here before." He Huai'an first broke the silence in the carriage.

"Yes, but is it convenient?" Fang Xiu thought about the people and horses outside.

"Let them follow from afar."

Fang Xiu thought, is He Huai'an bored and wants to go shopping, or wants to see Jiang Ning, or wants to see the place where they lived before.

"Where does your lord want to go?" If you can't figure it out, it's better to ask.

"Just go where you know."

He Huai'an said it cryptically, but Fang Xiuyi also guessed it, he wanted to see their past life footprints.

"it is good."

The Li family is in a small house at the innermost part of Jixiang Street in the west of the city.

Because it was daytime, no matter how low-key He Huai'an was, he couldn't hide his magnificence. In addition, they had a large number of people, which immediately attracted the attention and pointers of other people.The street was too narrow, and the carriages were parked at the entrance of the alley, so people could only walk in.He Huai'an didn't seem to care about other people's advice, but Fang Xiuyi was still a little uncomfortable.

As soon as he walked to the door of Li's house, Fang Xiuyi heard Li's mother scolding the eldest son. He had heard it before, and it was a common occurrence.

It was Li Shengjin who came to answer the door. As soon as the door opened, Fang Xiuyi saw a simple and honest face, carefree.

"Give birth!" Fang Xiuyi called his name.

Li Shengjin tilted his head to look at Fang Xiuyi, and soon his face was as bright as flowers blooming, "Sister Fang, it's Sister Fang. Mother, it's Sister Fang!"

"Sister Fang, don't hurry up and invite guests in!" Mother Li hurriedly urged Li Shengjin.

"Oh. Sister Fang, come in!"

There are only two north rooms in this yard, and a small kitchen and a simple utility room in the south, which is very cramped.

Fang Xiuyi led He Huai'an into Mother Li's house, which was also very small.They looked very cramped once they entered.

"Aunt Li, do you remember me? Fang Xiuyi." Mother Li sat on the bed with a quilt covering her legs.Because of illness and the small size of the room, there was an unpleasant smell permeating the room.

Aunt Li looked at Fang Xiuyi carefully, and then said happily: "It turns out to be a strong woman, alas, I don't know her anymore! Sit down."

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Li." Fang Xiuyi didn't feel disgusted, and sat by the bed.She glanced at He Huai'an, and saw that he automatically found a stool and sat down.

"Who is this?"

"This is Zhuang Zhuang's father. After we arrived in the capital, we met unexpectedly."

"That, that..."

"At that time, I didn't know that Zhuang Zhuang's father was in the capital, so I found a cemetery and made a clothes tomb."

"Hey, look at this misunderstanding, it's a huge misunderstanding!" Aunt Li was very happy for Fang Xiuyi, "You are really blessed, seeing that Zhuang Zhuang's father is also a capable person."

"Yes, I have the ability!" Fang Xiuyi looked at He Huai'an with a funny face, this person was expressionless, did not speak, and was not cramped, as if he was sitting in his study. "Aunt Li, how is your health?"

"It's not an old problem! I spend more time lying down than moving in a day." Aunt Li fell into the river in the early winter and did not take proper measures to keep warm when she came out. The winter in the south is too wet and cold, and her legs have never been excellent.

"Aunt Li, don't be discouraged, there will always be Shengjin by your side!" Fang Xiuyi has said too many comforting words before.

Aunt Li was silent for a while, "Mother Zhuang Zhuang, do you know that the raw silver is gone?"

Fang Xiuyi sighed, "I heard about this just now, and I just wanted to come and see you, old man."

"Oh, that kid, he always said don't worry me, as long as he's around at home, I didn't expect that he, like his dead ghost father, doesn't mean anything, and he left earlier than me." The white-haired man sent the black It's excruciatingly painful.

"Shengyin is a good boy, and he must have had a good time there. My Zhuangzhuang still remembers the two brothers, and he couldn't bear it, so he insisted on buying candy for him." At that time, the small piece of candy, It was eaten by the three of them.

"Oh, that bad boy! At that time, he said he was going to get rich and let me live a good life, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye."

Fang Xiuyi didn't respond, she was only immersed in Aunt Li's sadness, but He Huai'an spoke at this moment.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Li, what did he say at that time?"

He Huai'an's tone of voice was very flat, when Aunt Li heard it suddenly, she felt a little cold, she glanced at Fang Xiuyi, not knowing what He Huai'an was talking about.Fang Xiuyi was also stunned, Li Shengyin said that he wanted to get rich, could it have something to do with the cemetery?

"Aunt Li, Daddy Zhuang asked you, when did Shengyin tell you about this?"

"It seems that it was said a few days before the accident. He said that he would buy me a big house and some maids to serve me. This little brat has always been in good shape. Sigh!" Aunt Li didn't think there was anything strange about it. .

"Then, Aunt Li, do you still remember who Shengyin went drinking with?"

"This brat doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, and he went to drink with someone that day for no reason. Oh, it's fate!"

Fang Xiuyi didn't continue to ask, just glanced at He Huai'an, He Huai'an seemed to be thinking about something.She also felt that something was wrong. Although this Li Shengyin was eloquent, he was also a relatively well-behaved person. He said he was going to get rich, and then died suddenly. Is there any difference between these two things, or between these three things? what connection?
Fang Xiuyi motioned to Mother Shi to bring the things prepared in advance and give them to Mother Li.

"Aunt Li, here are some dim sum and some meat dishes. We bought a lot, and we will be returning to the capital in two days. I was worried that they might be spoiled, so I brought them here for you to store." Fang Xiuyi took them again. Give out some small bank notes and scattered silver, "Aunt Li, you and Shengjin will use this money first."

"Mother Zhuang, I don't accept these. Although Shengjin and I have had a hard time, we can still get by. Shengjin is a bit stupid, but he still has the strength. Then don't worry."

"Aunt Li, I know. Don't refuse. As soon as I learned about Shengyin today, I was so worried that I didn't know what to do. I came in a hurry and I didn't prepare well. If you refuse again, I will treat you as a Aunt Li hates it." Fang Xiu picked up the wallet and put it in Li's mother's hand, "Besides, Zhuang Zhuang is amazing, and our life is going well."

Mother Li laughed sincerely, "Mother Zhuang, you are a lucky person. At that time, everyone disliked us. Only you were willing to get close to me. Niuniu often helped me clean the house. It's just a pity that your mother-in-law didn't enjoy the blessing. Just left, not a few years older than me. I'm still alive."

"Aunt Li, people can live a good life only when they live."

As soon as Fang Xiu thought something was wrong, she left Li's house early.Li's mother asked Li Shengjin to come out to see her off, but Li Shengjin was stubborn and insisted on sending Fang Xiuyi back to his residence.

"Shengjin, do you still remember who was with Shengyin the day the accident happened?" Fang Xiu asked Li Shengjin to follow.

"It seems to be Liu Gouzi. I want to go, but he won't let me go." Li Shengjin looked big and thick, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, more than half a head taller than He Huai'an, but his expression was very childish.

"Who is the six dogs?"

"Liu Gouzi is Liu Gouzi!" Li Shengjin was quite surprised, he might have said it was Liu Gouzi.

"Where do those six dogs live?"

"Live in the grove to the west."

Fang Xiu took a look at He Huai'an, meaning if he had any other questions to ask.

"Sheng Jin, have you seen Liugouzi again recently?" He Huai'an asked.

Li Jinsheng shook his head, "I haven't seen him for a long time."

He Huai'an didn't speak anymore, but Fang Xiuyi also knew that this matter might be a bit complicated.

When they reached a crossroad, He Huai'an said to Fang Xiuyi: "You go back first, I'll go to Mr. Wang's place. Let Four Seasons follow you, and I'll just take Pinellia."

"My lord, take Liu Shun with you." These people are all He Huai'an's personal bodyguards. Now that the situation is so complicated, who knows what's wrong.

He Huai'an glanced at Fang Xiuyi. Although he didn't say it clearly, Fang Xiuyi already understood the problem.

"Alright. I'll go back as soon as possible, and you can take me shopping some other day."

"Okay, my lord."

"I don't think this Li Shengjin has a heart, so let him follow you."

"Hmm." This Li Shengjin didn't easily change what he was sure of.

He Huai'an smiled, said nothing, and rode away with Ban Xia and Liu Shun.

When He Huai'an was far away, Li Shengjin said to Fang Xiuyi outside the car, "Sister Fang, brother-in-law Fang is so scary!"

When Fang Xiuyi first heard this brother-in-law's name, it was quite novel, and she couldn't help laughing, "Yes, your brother-in-law Fang usually manages a lot of people! I'm afraid too." In fact, she didn't I don't know how many people He Huai'an has under his command.

"Brother-in-law Fang looks exactly like Zhuang Zhuang!"

"That's right, they are father and son." Fang Xiu thought, when cooking in the Shangshu Mansion before, maybe everyone else could see that the two looked alike, but she was the only one who was slow to respond.The most incredible thing is that Wen Renyi saw it right away, "By the way, Sheng Jin, did Aunt Li just scold you again?"

Li Shengjin rubbed his head and said with a naive smile: "I did work for someone yesterday, and I went to ask for wages today. They said that money is tight, so I will give it to me in a few days. My mother said, I was cheated, let me go I want wages."

Fang Xiuyi sighed silently, this was not the first time Li Shengjin encountered this.He is honest and straightforward. When Li Shengyin was around, others were still scrupulous. Now there is only a widowed mother left, and others just bully him.

"Sheng Jin, you are a part-time worker, and you have to settle it as soon as you finish the work. Besides, you see that Aunt Li is not in good health, and she still has to rely on your wages to get medicine and eat. If people don't give you wages like this, you What do you and Aunt Li eat? Do you want Aunt Li to ask for wages?"

Li Shengjin lowered his head, listlessly, "When people say they have no money, I feel uncomfortable. Anyway, I am in good health, and I can do more work in other places."

"Sheng Jin, I don't want to think of people so badly, but if they don't pay you, Aunt Li won't be able to eat or buy medicine. What if Aunt Li leaves because of this one day? You're the only one left. people!"

Li Shengjin raised his head immediately, "Who said that? I want to let my mother enjoy the blessing!"

"Yes, you are right! But don't be bullied by others in the future!" Fang Xiuyi had the idea of ​​taking Aunt Li, mother and son to the capital together.Seeing this situation now, how could she leave as if she didn't know anything?

"I see, Sister Fang! I don't want to be bullied, I want to buy delicious food for my mother!"

At this moment, the conversation between two people walking by the car attracted Fang Xiuyi's attention.

"Hey, his second aunt, did you see that man on the horse just now?" The voice sounded like a middle-aged woman.

"Yeah, I was just about to tell you. Look at that demeanor, she looks like a fairy."

"His second aunt, that's not what I meant. Don't you think this person looks like a person?"

"Who do you look like?" Another woman's voice suddenly became louder, "Ah, you're talking about that Ah Ping from the old Qin's family? No wonder I thought this man looked familiar just now."

"Yes, yes, especially those eyes, they look exactly the same. It's a pity..."

The person walked away, and the conversation could not be heard clearly.But Fang Xiuyi's heart suddenly jumped wildly, she quickly stopped the car, lifted the curtain and looked ahead, and saw the two women in front gradually walking away.

"Four Seasons, hurry up, hurry up and follow the two in purple and red, hurry up, don't lose track of them, and see where they live. Come back and report when you're sure." Fang Xiuyi said anxiously.

"Madam, my lord..." Siji hesitated, he didn't dare to neglect his duty.

"Hurry up, my lord is with me. Hurry up, don't lose track of me." Fang Xiuyi was eager to follow up by herself.

Four Seasons might have seen that Fang Xiuyi was really anxious, so he ordered the others, and then he went to follow those two people.

Mother Shi and Shan Xing were taken aback by Fang Xiuyi's actions, "Ma'am, are you alright?"

"It's okay, let's go back quickly." Fang Xiuyi's heart beat wildly when he saw Siji catching up, and he felt restless, as if something big was about to happen.

However, Fang Xiuyi's physique is really special, one second is a blessing, the next second is misfortune.
