Supreme peasant girl to turn over

Chapter 359

Gu Yimei narrowed her eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"I saw her tiptoeing forward with a dagger, and quickly touched the bedside. Under the moonlight, her arm was raised high, and the dagger - very quickly stabbed at the arched figure on the bed. I desperately covered my mouth, afraid that I would scream."

Listening to Yang Fengxian like this, she felt terrified. At that time, Gu Yimei, who was only a child, had so much courage to control herself from screaming.

"But maybe it was because the dagger didn't make any sound when it stabbed up, which made Zhou's mother suspicious. I was afraid that she would find something, so I ran out quickly. Unexpectedly, the room was too dark, and I tripped over the threshold without paying attention and fell. It made a sound when it fell."

"Mother Zhou's gaze followed me. I was terrified and ran out quickly. Now she had completely spotted me, but she still didn't dare to say anything, and only chased me quickly."

"I yelled for help, but the guards and maids seemed to be asleep. No one responded. The others in the inn seemed to want to protect themselves, and no one dared to stand out. I really thought I would So dead."

Yang Fengxian couldn't help asking: "Then what happened later? What happened later?"

Gu Yimei had a trace of nostalgia in her expression: "Later, a young man who worked there heard it. He was not very old, so he just quietly pulled a rope on the ground and tripped Mama Zhou, and Mama Zhou fell hard. To be honest, he didn't get up for a long time, so he took my hand and led me to run out, and found a place to hide."

"The moment he grabbed me, my heart suddenly became less flustered. The two of us hid in that place until dawn, and dared not go back until there were many people."

"After I went back, I found that the inn was in a mess, because the maids and nurses woke up but couldn't find me, and they couldn't find Zhou's mother. The boy was reprimanded by the shopkeeper because he went back late, but He just stuck out his tongue at me with a smile, as if he didn't care."

"I just experienced life and death the night before, and I really don't have the strength to deal with the rest. My father said before that if there is anything to do, I can take his token to go to the county magistrate, so I sent a servant girl. The magistrate will come soon." Soon, as soon as I told the matter, he said that he would help me find the nanny. Our mission to Qiushui County has been completed, so I sent a flying pigeon to pass the letter to my father, and waited for news from the county magistrate at the inn."

"But what was found three days later was Mother Zhou's body. The county magistrate asked Wu Zuo to do an autopsy, but he said that this person had died seven days ago, and the place where the body was found was a small village three hundred miles away. People in the village accidentally found out and reported it to the government. We passed by that village when we came."

Yang Fengxian asked again: "Then how did you find it there? And Mother Zhou didn't assassinate you three days ago, so how could you die seven days ago?"

Gu Yimei smiled bitterly: "I just said, how many opportunities did Mom have to do it all the way last week but didn't do it, why did she choose to do it in Qiushui County? I suddenly opened up."

She looked at Yang Fengxian and said word by word: "Have you ever heard that a civet cat is exchanged for the crown prince?"

Yang Fengxian's mind turned for a while, and she finally figured it out: "You mean, Mama Zhou was dropped out?"

Gu Yimei nodded: "That's right. Near that small village, I remember that Zhou's mother once said that she wanted to take a urinate, so we stopped for a while. After returning, everything was as usual, and we continued on our way. Maybe it was at that time, Zhou's mother has already been killed and dropped."

Yang Fengxian only felt that such a thing was like a dream, killing people, dropping bags, assassinating people, and changing her appearance. If such things happened when she was six or seven years old, she would have fallen for it.

"Then what happened later? What happened later?" Yang Fengxian asked.

Gu Yimei recalled: "Later, I received a letter from Feige from my father, and a letter was attached, saying that the government along the way would send officers and soldiers to protect me and let me return to the capital."

"I set off to return to Beijing. At that time, my heart was like an arrow, so I took some silver taels as a gift to the boy who saved me. The magistrate said that he would continue to help me track down the assassin, but I knew it was too difficult. , no one has seen his real appearance, and I don't know what his name is, so I don't have any expectations, I just hope that I can return to Beijing safely."

Yang Fengxian asked suddenly as if remembering: "Do you remember how old that boy was then?"

Gu Yimei thought for a while and said: "I didn't ask him at that time, he looks like he is about ten years old, not much older than me."

When she said this, Yang Fengxian felt more and more familiar: "Then what was the name of the inn you were staying at, and do you know the name of that young man?"

Gu Yimei said strangely: "The inn I was staying at was called Yuelai Inn. I never asked the boy's name. Although I was young at the time, I knew that I couldn't talk to foreigners casually, so although I am very grateful to him, But I didn't talk to him a few more words. But I still remember that the maid gave him 50 taels of silver."

50 two!
Yang Fengxian's eyes widened, a little excited.She still remembered that when her elder brother was only ten years old and she was only eight years old, her father was seriously ill, and her grandmother was unwilling to spend money to hire a doctor to treat her.

At that time, the eldest brother was already serving as an apprentice, so she and the eldest sister had no choice but to go to the eldest brother to see if there was any way. At that time, the eldest brother took out 50 taels of silver, saying that it was given by saving a nobleman, so they used it The doctor was hired for the money, but in order to prevent grandma from taking the life-saving money away, they didn't say how much, they only said that the elder brother paid the wages in advance, and the money for the doctor and the doctor was paid by the elder brother's apprentice.

Yang Fengxian couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and said incoherently: "Mei Er, Mei Er! The person I want to save you may be my elder brother!"

Gu Yimei also widened her eyes: "How do you know?! How could there be such a coincidence?!"

Yang Fengxian said: "At that time my eldest brother was ten years old, as you know, our family's conditions were not good, and our house was not welcomed, so my eldest brother went to be an apprentice when he was very young. I was a boy at Yuelai Inn, learning to calculate accounts. That year my father was driven to the fields by his grandmother because of the heavy rain, and he was not given food. After returning, he fell seriously ill and almost left like this. It's an idea, my eldest sister and I had no choice but to go to elder brother to discuss countermeasures."

"At that time, the elder brother said that he saved a nobleman and gave him 50 taels of silver, but he didn't choose to send it home because of his grandma's appearance. He just waited to take it out when there was something urgent, so we used the money to invite The doctor took the medicine."
