I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Cui Tao did not immediately go to his eldest brother's house with Han Qi.

Back then when Cui Tao and Ping'er went back to Wumei Villa together, Wei Wuyuan once said that he had an old friend who knew Jiao Gu and wanted to choose a woman from Jiao Gu for him.Cui Tao then asked Wei Wuyuan to contact this friend to find out about Jiaogu's situation.But because his friend likes to wander around, he can't tell where the person is, so it is a bit troublesome to contact him.Recently, Wei Wuyuan finally found his friend, and immediately sent someone to bring news to the Cui family.

Wei Wuyuan's good friend is Gu Cheng, who is a fellow villager with Jiao Gu, and the two met by chance many years later and had a good chat.Jiaogu is from Bingzhou Village, Jinjiang, Quanzhou, and Gu Cheng is from Qingxi County, Quanzhou. His maternal grandfather’s family lives in Bingzhou Village. When he was ten years old, he lived in Bingzhou Village for three months. That’s when he met Jiao. aunt.

Because of Xu's acquaintance since childhood, when Jiaogu first met Gu Cheng, she told him that she was in the business of 'educating beauties'. Seeing that Gu Cheng was doing well in the world, she asked Gu Cheng to take care of her business when she had time.Gu Cheng really remembered, and introduced the beauties at Jiaogu's place to some noble friends he had made.Wei Wuyuan is one of Gu Cheng's close friends, and he is also the one who loves fresh and tender beauties the most. Of course, Gu Cheng will not leave him behind.

Because of Su Yuwan and Jiaogu's cautious behavior, Cui Tao still doesn't know the details of their backgrounds.Now I know where Jiaogu's hometown is from this line.

Jiaogu had been with Su Yuwan when she was young, and she was so devoted to Su Yuwan, it is very likely that the two had known each other for a long time and had a deep friendship.After further deliberation and bold assumptions, Su Yuwan was probably born in Quanzhou, and even lived near Bingzhou Village.

When he came to Quanzhou this time, the first thing Cui Tao had to do was to go to Bingzhou Village to confirm the matter.

Jiaogu was from Bingzhou Village, so it was easy to find her.Su Yuwan asked based on the portrait, because she was well maintained, the middle-aged Su Yuwan in the portrait was not much different from her appearance when she was a girl, and because she was born beautiful, so the old women in the village who have seen She will have some impressions.

Su Yuwan lived in Gujing Village, not far from Bingzhou Village. There was no village there at first, only an abandoned ancient well. Later, a group of refugees came from the famine and settled down there. Gradually, more than a dozen families took root. Nakoi Village.

Bingzhou Village is near the sea, and the scenery is pleasant. When she was young, Su Yuwan would often sneak away to play in Bingzhou Village, so she got acquainted with Jiaogu.Su Yuwan knew that her appearance would easily cause trouble, so she would cover her face every time and go out.Not many people in Bingzhou Village had actually seen Su Yuwan's appearance, only a few women happened to see her twice when they were in contact with Jiaogu's mother.But for a beauty like Su Yuwan, as long as she meets her for the first time, she will be amazed and unforgettable.

Not long after, news spread that there was a beautiful girl in Gujing Village who would come to Bingzhou Village from time to time.When Su Yuwan went to Bingzhou Village again, occasionally a man of the same age would whistle at her secretly, and some would even boldly run over to strike up a conversation.Every time Jiaogu took a stick and beat those bastards away.

Jiaogu's father left early, and her mother took her to remarry when she was ten years old. Her stepfather had two sons who were older than her, but they took good care of her.Originally, the family of five had a pretty good life, but when they were out fishing, the stepfather and two sons had an accident.Jiaogu's mother was too sad to be widowed again, so she became ill.Su Yuwan helped Jiaogu take care of her mother and went to the city to fetch medicine for her.But suddenly one day, Su Yuwan stopped coming.Jiaogu asked the neighbor's aunt to help take care of her mother, and ran to find Su Yuwan, but she came back crying.

Later, Jiao Gu took care of her mother by herself, and was helped by people in the village, but her mother's illness continued to be difficult, and she passed away in the end.On the day of Jiaogu's mother's funeral, Su Yuwan came to see her.Only then did the women in the village realize that Su Yuwan had lost a lot of weight and was not in good spirits, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness.

Su Yuwan came here this time not only to bury Jiaogu's mother, but also to tell Jiaogu about an important matter.She met a nobleman who could take her out of the swamp, a place she doesn't plan to return to.If Jiaogu is willing to go with her, she has already discussed with the nobleman and will take Jiaogu with her.If you don't want to, then this time is to say goodbye to her, and it should be the last time they meet.

Jiaogu's closest relatives were gone, and although there were other relatives in the village who were willing to take care of her, Jiaogu immediately decided to go with Su Yuwan.At that time, Jiaogu's uncle and aunt were worried and dissuaded her.Because they didn't know what kind of family Su Yuwan went to, and they didn't want the only Miaomiao left by their brothers to go outside to serve others.But Jiaogu made a decisive decision at the time, saying that she owed Su Yuwan too much, even if Su Yuwan lied to her and pushed her into a sea of ​​swords and flames, she was willing to do so.

If Jiaogu has formed a kindness that is willing to sacrifice mountains and fires for her just because Su Yuwan helps her run errands to buy medicines, it does not make sense logically.Su Yuwan suddenly disappeared on the way to buy medicine, and when she reappeared, she was not only thin but also depressed, indicating that she had encountered any major changes or stimuli during that time.In addition, Jiaogu ran back crying after looking for her, which made people speculate that Su Yuwan probably had an accident on the way to buy medicine for Jiaogu's mother.Jiaogu felt guilty because of this, felt that she owed Su Yuwan too much, and was even willing to pay her back with her life.

Cui Tao then planned to go to Gujing Village to inquire about Su Yuwan's situation, but was told that Gujing Village did not exist ten years ago.The entire village suddenly disappeared overnight. When passers-by discovered this situation, the food on the tables of some people in the village was moldy and covered with white hairs, and they were left alone for at least four or five days.

This incident was a sensation in the Jinjiang area at the time, and even now, when it is brought up, I still feel chills running down my back, very frightening.

Because the people living in Gujing Village are all refugees and have no relatives with the local people, Cui Tao can only find out information from a few people who have had close contacts with the people of Gujing Village.

It turned out that the refugees in Gujing Village all came from the same family, and belonged to the clan of the political governor Subzuo who was deposed and convicted more than 20 years ago.

The nobleman who elected Su Yuwan had a Bianjing accent and gave Su Yuwan's parents a large sum of money, but never revealed his identity.After Su Yuwan's parents took the money, they didn't ask any more when they saw that the other party refused to say more, probably because they felt that the other party would not neglect their daughter with enough money, and Su Yuwan herself had no intention of resisting, so the matter was like this It's settled.

Su Yuwan's parents are not like other parents who feel more or less lamented that their daughter has gone too far.According to insiders, they seemed relieved at the time.After Su Yuwan left, the situation of the Su family has improved a lot since then, and Su Yuwan's elder brother even put on a lot of pomp when he married a wife and entered the house.

After Cui Tao investigated the situation, she rushed back to Quanzhou to join Han Qi, but she didn't expect that she would be rejected by "Ugly" as soon as she arrived in Han's residence.Although she walked through the back door of the Han Mansion and made it clear why she came, the servant who opened the door thought she was too ugly and refused to let her in.

This servant looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, but his attitude was quite domineering.

"I'm an ugly boy sent by Liu Lang to do important things. You stop me like this and don't allow me to enter. If you delay Liu Lang's big things, don't blame me." Cui Tao pinched her waist with her hands and showed her momentum.

"You said you were Liu Langjun's entourage, do you have evidence?"

"Does this still need evidence? If you pass it on, Liu Lang will definitely call me in immediately."

"What kind of person is Liulang, how can he be disturbed casually. What kind of person are you, if you say pass it on, we will pass it on?"

The servant looked at Cui Tao with disgust, and twitched one corner of his mouth.

"It's so ugly. How could Liulang keep someone like you by his side? The people around him are not as handsome as Zhang Chang, but they have to be more or less pleasing to the eye. To be an official in Bianjing, what you want is to be decent. , how could it be possible to keep an ugly person like you by my side."

"You're not him, so you don't know how kind he is. He ran into me halfway and found me difficult, so he took me in." Cui Tao explained.

"Where are you a liar, get out! Otherwise, I will report to the government!" The servant immediately scolded, mocking Cui Tao, "I don't believe you even more when you say that. He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Once I went out with him on the street, there was a woman who was much prettier than you, with ragged clothes, lying on the ground miserable and begging him for help, and he left without blinking an eye. In the whole of Quanzhou, who doesn't know that our Liulang has a cold face and a cold heart, so we can't get close?"

"Is there such a thing?" Cui Tao asked in surprise.

"Naturally, there are many things like this." The servant folded his hands on his chest, glanced at Cui Tao, and asked why she didn't leave.

"But I'm really an ugly boy that Han Liulang took in halfway. I think maybe when he was in trouble, I reminded him, and he saw how pitiful I was, so he decided to take me in." Cui Tao added. road.

The servant sneered, raised his eyebrows and looked Cui Tao up and down: "Then, have you served our Liulang personally?"

"Of course." Her image of serving others must not fall, but must stand.

"Unfortunately, I have also served." The servant immediately asked, "Then tell me, where is there a mole on our Liulang?"

Cui Tao immediately said: "The index finger!"

"Aside from the one in your hand, where else is it?"

Looking closely at the servant's expression, Cui Tao boldly made a guess: "No more."

"Wrong, it's on the butt." The servant immediately corrected.

Cui Tao: "..."

Seeing that Cui Tao held back a smile for a long time, the servant raised his chin and said proudly, "I'm just saying, you really are a liar. In fact, I don't know if there is a mole on his buttocks. I'm deceiving you."

Cui Tao froze, staring at him with round eyes.

"I haven't seen Uncle Six's body at all—" The 'house servant' was about to expose his mouth for a moment, and immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and his eyes widened.

No wonder this 'house servant' has so many things going on, he refuses to report and always stops her, it turned out to be Han Qi's nephew.

"Say! Why are you lying to me?" Han Renyan questioned Cui Tao.

"I'm not lying to you, there shouldn't be any on him, but hearing you say so with certainty, I think maybe I didn't look carefully. After all, everyone knows that place should not be stared at. How could someone be so shameless? Seeing it from the ground caused me to be shocked, so my eyes widened in shock." After Cui Tao explained with reason and evidence, she politely asked him to help send a message, because she really had something important to report.

Han Renyan: "No! You are too ugly. I don't care if you are Sixth Uncle's entourage or not. You are not allowed to enter my house. Tell me if you have anything to do. I am Sixth Uncle's nephew, and I will pass it on for you. "

"No, you are not as good-looking as your sixth uncle. I don't want to change whether you are your sixth uncle's nephew. I can't even let you pass on this news."
