Chapter 98 Strange Family (Two Chapters Integration)
Almost all nearby neighbors know that Yan'er is Zhong Ziyang's outer room, and they are so despised of her.
But now, seeing her with a big belly, her face full of blood, and she cried to death, the neighbors began to sympathize with her again.
Someone went to ask the doctor to bandage her wound, and some asked the Strong Po to stay here to prevent her from having a premature birth if she was frightened.
As the victim and witness of this case, Yan'er was originally going to be taken back to the yamen, but in this way, the yamen people opened the door, just informing her that she could not leave Baifeng City and was on call and did not take her to the yamen.
An hour later, the Zhong family went to the yamen.
No one expected that the Zhong family would be the third old master.
In the yamen, the third old man hugged Zhong Ziyang's body and burst into tears. He offered a reward of 1,000 taels and asked the yamen to capture the real murderer.
After coming out of the yamen, the third old man did not return to the house, but went to pick up Yan'er.
Yes, Yan'er was taken back to Zhong's mansion by the third old master.
She was pregnant with Zhong Ziyang's posthumous son. No matter whether the child was a man or a woman, his (her) biological mother could not be a lowly outdoor room.
So, although there has been no news from the Zhong family, Yan'er will definitely not be in the outer room anymore, and at least she will be a concubine.
When Xiao Zhen and Zhao Shiqing left Baifeng City the next day, notices of arresting people could be seen everywhere in and outside the city.
I don’t know which artist’s masterpiece is, but the two people on the notice are no longer ugly, but are so ugly that they are not like humans.
After all, this is a fictitious character.
Zhao Shiqing smiled all the way, and when she returned to the mouth of Baifeng River, she saw Lu Niuer.
Lu Niuer has been waiting here for two days. Seeing Xiao Zhen and Zhao Shiqing, Lu Niuer was so happy.
"Madam Shi, what do you think, you guessed it all right. There are really a few strange families in Shilipu."
Zhao Shiqing was very happy when he heard Lu Niuer change his words and called himself "Madam Shi", so he asked with a smile: "What a strange method?"
Lu Niuer explained in detail what he found.
Shilipu is the largest village in Qinglu County, and even the entire Luzhou.
This largest is not because Shilipu has a large population, but because it covers a large area.
More than half of Qingzhu Mountain belongs to Shilipu, while the remaining half belongs to seven or eight villages.
It is precisely for this reason that Shilipu has the saying that three are above, three are below, and four are below.
What is three in three out of four?
The entrance of Shilipu village is at the foot of the mountain, and the road after entering the village is uphill.
40% of the families live at the foot of the mountain, 30% live on the mountain, and 30% are distributed on the road from the foot of the mountain to the mountain.
So, except for 40% of the residents in Shilipu, the other 60% live very scattered.
It is precisely for this reason that new residents moved in the village, and it was not until a year later that the villagers knew about this.
Ten years ago, after the bandits were ripped off at the big market, seven families moved to the village one after another.
All seven families live in the mountains.
When the villagers knew that there was a new family moving in, it was more than a year later.
Ten years ago was not a year of disaster. Without refugees, there would be no yamen to force the jail to entrust refugees to become naturalized. Therefore, unless they come to the village to visit relatives, it would be impossible for foreigners to come to settle in various villages.
And these seven households are all here to visit their relatives.
Three of the families came to join Mrs. Feng. Old Mrs. Feng had no children, her husband died long ago, and her in-laws died. She lived in the village for decades, but no relatives had ever looked for her, but suddenly three relatives came to Shilipu to join her. Although the villagers questioned it, Old Mrs. Feng insisted that these three families were all her distant relatives, and they had a few quarrels with the villagers for this.
There are two other families who come to seek refuge with the old bachelor. The old bachelor is poor and ugly. He lives alone in the mountain. Like Mrs. Feng, he suddenly has two more families who come to seek refuge with his distant relatives.
There are two other families who are distant relatives of Li Zheng. The villagers can question Mrs. Feng and the old bachelor, but no one dares to tell Li Zheng's gossip. Therefore, although these two families also live in the mountains, they do not attract gossip.
These seven families have lived in Shilipu for ten years. They hardly interact with the villagers. They usually live on the mountain without any land, so they rely on the mountain to eat. But it’s strange that there are other families on the mountain. Those families go to the town from time to time to sell mountain goods, exchange for some money to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt.
But the villagers have never seen these seven families go to the town to exchange for money with mountain goods. They will also go to the town. Every time they come back from the town, they will return with a full load. Therefore, the villagers privately discussed and believed that these seven families are very rich.
Once, two gangsters in the village ran to one of the families to borrow money, but were beaten out by the family, and their noses and faces were so terrible.
If it were normal, these two bastards would definitely call the little brothers who were playing together to fight back. But it would be strange. Not only did the two bastards not take revenge, they ran outside the village and hid for several months before they dared to come back.
From then on, no one has ever provoked these seven families. Although they were foreigners in Shilipu, they lived a very comfortable life.
After Lu Niu'er said, Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Zhen were both silent.
After a moment, Zhao Shiqing took out ten taels of silver and stuffed it to Lu Niuer: "You have found these things very useful, and this is a reward for you. But I want to remind you not to tell anyone about this matter, and don't go to Shilipu again in the future. You can hide as far as you are."
Although Lu Niuer didn't understand why Zhao Shiqing told him not to go to Shilipu again, he was also a person who had experience.
Listen to others' advice and have a full meal.
Add to the ten taels of silver given by Zhao Shiqing, Lu Niuer's net worth is as high as 110 taels, and there are also the Meng brothers who can rely on it. In the future, he will have a backer in the village.
How wonderful life is, you can be happy just by thinking about it. Who will not be able to live a good life?
Lu Niuer took the silver and returned to Zhuxitang happily.
Seeing him walking away, Xiao Zhen asked Zhao Shiqing: "Do you suspect that the so-called bandits are these seven families?"
Zhao Shiqing nodded: "They deliberately beat people and grab things at the big market, so that they dare not go to Shilipu to go to Shilipu again. Gradually, Shilipu became the cold and deserted appearance now.
The terrain of Shilipu is very suitable for hiding, but I don't know if these people have anything to do with the death of my family."
In principle, it has nothing to do.
After all, those killers should have been sent from the capital. They came to Zhuxitang because Doctor Yang lives here temporarily. They had killed everyone and there was no need to stay nearby.
But if it doesn't matter, Zhao Shiqing feels it's too coincidental.
After all, Shilipu is very close to Zhuxitang.
There is also the map left by Doctor Yang to Yang Shengqiu, which is also in this area.
Zhao Shiqing actually wanted to go to Shilipu to find out, but she knew it herself.
There are only two people, she and Xiao Zhen. At this time, they either rushed to the scene or they were either sheep entering the tiger's mouth.
Xiao Zhen said, "Let's go back to Luzhou City first, discuss with your grandfather before making a decision."
Zhao Shiqing thought it was true, and the two of them did not stop anymore and headed straight for Luzhou. They rushed to the city, but still couldn't get into the city before closing the gate, so they had no choice but to go to the village they lived in last time.
The landlord still remembers Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Zhen.
The aunt's eyes were filled with little stars: "Oh, I remember you didn't come together last time, it seemed like they were in front of each other?"
Zhao Shiqing knew what the aunt meant, okay, gossip was over her.
Zhao Shiqing pointed at Xiao Zhen and said, "This is my uncle. He came with my grandfather last time."
It turned out to be my uncle's eldest niece. The stars in the aunt's eyes were gone, which was boring.
However, the aunt remembered another thing.
She said to Zhao Shiqing, "The old man who came with you last time is right. He said he was your father?"
Zhao Shiqing immediately knew who the aunt was talking about.
Zhao Xingzhou! "Yes, he is my father, has he been here again?" He just touched his upper lip, but he didn't really recognize him as his father.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
The aunt looked at Xiao Zhen and thought to herself: It's okay that this uncle and niece are about the same age as their niece, but their brother-in-law is enough to be a grandfather for their brother-in-law. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
"Yes, yes, yes, it was after you left last time, your father came again on the third or fourth day, but he seemed to owe a lot of money. As soon as he moved in, the creditor came over. Your father asked me if there was a back door. I just pointed it to him and he ran away from the back door. By the way, although he didn't spend the night, he ate a bowl of noodles and hadn't paid the noodles yet."
Zhao Shiqing had no doubt about what the aunt said.
That old man Zhao Xingzhou, nothing else can do. It is normal for him to get the first place in trouble. If a creditor comes to him, it is very normal.
Zhao Shiqing said to the aunt, "His face money is calculated on my account, and I will give it to you when checking out."
As the aunt saw that Zhao Shiqing admitted the account, she left with joy.
Xiao Zhen asked, "What she is talking about is the old man who was with you last time?"
Zhao Shiqing said, "Yes, it's him. That man is crazy and wants to recognize me as his goddaughter. Ha, he can be my father at his age."
Xiao Zhen's brows were deeply locked. He remembered the dirty old Taoist priest: "You said his surname is Zhao?"
"Yes, Zhao Xingzhou, have you heard of such a person?"
Xiao Zhen shook his head: "I haven't heard of the name Zhao Xingzhou, but he looks familiar."
"Familiar?" Zhao Shiqing became interested. Don't say, she really felt that Zhao Xingzhou was a person of origin, otherwise she wouldn't have fooled Zhao Xingzhou to write her IOU.
Xiao Zhen: "I must have seen him, but I can't remember where I saw him. It's not supposed to be." Zhao Shiqing didn't care and said with a smile: "Maybe you will suddenly remember him at some point." Xiao Zhen also thought so, and the two quickly put Zhao Xingzhou behind their minds.
The next day, as soon as the city gate opened, they entered the city.
When I came to the door of the rented small yard, Zhao Shiqing thought she had come to the wrong place.
The small yard is being expanded and craftsmen are working.
Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Zhen looked at each other. Could it be that the landlord took back the house?
Fortunately, they saw loaches and found out after asking that, Zhen Wuduo bought this yard. Not only did he buy this yard, but he also bought the two yards next to him. Now these three yards need to be expanded.
I heard that they were back, Zhen Wuduo ran over and took Zhao Shiqing to see his newly bought yard: "Baby granddaughter, I heard from the girl Lingbo that you rented this yard because you like the lotus pond in front of the door. Grandpa bought all three yards and built a big house. Come whenever you want. This is your territory. Are you happy?"
Zhao Shiqing no longer knows what to say: "Grandpa, you are so nice, you are so nice with rich grandpa!"
The little old man proudly said: "It's just a small house. Let's go back and buy a better one for you."
"No need, I already have two mountains and a house in Zhuxitang. Plus this place is enough for me to live in." Zhao Shiqing said.
The little old man: "Where is enough to live in? Don't you still have to rent a house?"
Okay, if you want to buy it, I won't argue with you.
Zhao Shiqing pulled the old man and told the letter about it, and took out the bracelet left by her mother to show off.
When she learned that her mother was alive, she couldn't bear to wear this pair of bracelets. The old man was crying, but she was just a pair of bracelets with slightly better quality. However, Zhen Wuduo's daughter couldn't bear to wear such a pair of bracelets.
Zhen Wuduo wished he could find ten or eight jewelry shops and buy all the bracelets inside for his daughter to bury him.
Zhao Shiqing hurriedly advised him: "Grandpa, if you want to make compensation, come towards me. I can hold on. Don't disturb my mother."
Zhao Shiqing talked about the seven families in Shilipu again. The little old man narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Shiqing, "You are doing right, don't alert the snake. Grandpa sent someone to inquire."
In the next few days, Zhen Wuduo sent people to Shilipu, while Zhao Shiqing lived in Luzhou City.
Shen Guanyue was already very familiar with Luzhou City. Shen Guanyue knew everything about the delicious food and fun in Luzhou City. Zhao Shiqing followed him and took Xiuxiu, Lingbo and Niu to start eating, drinking and having fun in Luzhou City.
Luzhou is rich and merchants gathered. Although it is just a city, it is no less prosperous than Liangdu. Zhao Shiqing soon fell in love with it.
Xiao Zhen had a generation gap with them and did not go out with them. So in just two days, Zhao Shiqing threw Xiao Zhen, the uncle, into the sky.
When she remembered it, she realized that Xiao Zhen was not in Luzhou City. "Hey, where did he go?" Zhao Shiqing asked while eating breakfast.
Zhen Wuduo was reading the newspaper of the residence. The newspaper of the Yong Dynasty could only be seen from the yamen, but this is not a problem that Zhen Wuduo has no money in this world. If there is, it must be that the money is not enough.
For example, these three newspapers are worth fifteen taels and were sold to him by the yamen master. "Oh, the Eight Great Vajras of the Censorate have been replaced." Zhao Shiqing: It must be replaced. The Chief of the Eight Great Vajras Jin has become a useless person.
"Where has Mr. Zhen been going?" Zhao Shiqing continued the question just now.
Zhen Wuduo: "That unfilial son didn't even say hello when he went out. How could I know where he went?"
Zhao Shiqing pointed at Di Bao: "Is there anything else new to besides the Eight Great King Kongs?"
Zhen Wuduo: "Well, yes, Di Bao said that your cheap second brother was fighting with someone and was punished by Long Live the Lord."
Zhao Shiqing was stunned. Is there anything new to her? Her second brother? Zhao Tingxuan?
