Kaifeng Mansion's Little Boss
Chapter 37 3 more in 1
"If the Su family makes things difficult for you in the future, please let me know." Su Fangming directly explained his purpose.
These words suddenly sounded like Su Fangming wanted to protect him and stand up for her, but Su Yuanshen thought that the relationship between them had not reached this point, after all, today was their first meeting.
"Why?"
Su Fangming: "They are old and stubborn. If they are confused, sons of man should stop them."
Su Yuan understood that the purpose of Su Fangming's words was not to protect her, but to keep Su Jinjing and his wife.He could see very clearly that the game between her and Su Jinjing and his wife would eventually end with her winning.So Su Fangming came here to intercede, and hoped that she would show mercy and tell him before she planned to do anything.
Su Yuan couldn't help sighing that Su Fangming was calculating, he should be the calmest and smartest person in the Su family.Just because he can conclude that she can beat Su Jinjing under the current situation, it can be seen that he is very good at seeing the essence through phenomena.
"I will send people to pay more attention to them, try to be thorough, and not be negligent."
According to Su Fangming's words, he will try his best to stop Su Jinjing and his wife's foolish actions.But he was afraid of being negligent, and at that time he hoped that Su Yuan would let him know, and he would solve it for him without Su Yuan's action.
Seeing that Su Yuan was silent, Su Fangming also knew that this request was too much for Su Yuan, so he said softly to her: "Miss Su has given me a favor, and no matter what happens to Miss Su in the future, as long as it is not illegal If it violates morality, I will do my best to help."
The favor Su Fangming mentioned naturally refers to the incident in which he helped clean up Bai Yutang and throw Pang Xian in the Immortal Tower.
"This favor depends on how you count it. Whether you and the Su family are separated or together. If you are separated, it can be counted as a favor. If you are together, it is not counted. As for your help, do you think I will care about it?"
Regarding Pang Xian's matter, even if Su Fangming offered a favor, it would not be able to offset the Su family's calculations against her.Besides, Su Yuan believed in Bai Yutang's strength, even if he was intercepted by the experts from Xianrenlou that night, he would still take care of the trouble.
This favor was nothing at all, and Su Fangming knew it well, so he added conditions.
"Separate." Su Fangming answered very simply, without any hesitation.
"Oh?" Su Yuan was a little surprised by this answer. Since Su Fang invited her to negotiate terms, the purpose was to protect Su Jinjing and his wife.A family is naturally considered to be together, so why did Su Fangming say they were separated?
"The kindness of nurturing should always be repaid, but I and their husband and wife are not together. In fact, to this day, I don't know what happened to my mother who gave birth to a younger sister. I can't find this in the Su family. The truth is probably only them. I know it myself." Su Fangming explained.
Su Yuan felt that Su Fangming's words were a bit strange, so he asked him for confirmation: "I hear what you mean, is it just out of responsibility? You have no admiration for them like children or parents?"
Su Fangming's eyes flickered, as if thinking of some bad memories, he lowered his eyes to avoid Su Yuan's scrutiny.It was as if his ugly side was suddenly revealed, and he was very afraid of seeing the light.
"You probably don't believe it, but you really don't." His voice was faint and cold, and there was no emotion at all.
Su Yuan didn't know why, she obviously didn't understand Su Fangming, but at this moment, she somehow felt that Su Fangming was a bit pitiful.
"Actually, I envy you sometimes," Su Fangming said, "No matter what the truth was back then, the result is that you left the Su family and lived a free life. It would be nice if I was the one who left, even if it was me. To die of starvation, sickness and death is also to live for oneself, and it will not become what it is now."
"You look pretty good. Mr. Qianqian is as gentle as jade, and he must have fascinated many girls in the boudoir. How can you suddenly belittle yourself?" Although Su Yuan guessed that there was something inside, Su Fangming didn't need to think so. heavy.
"Actually, the person I envy the most is Bai Yutang. People who live as freely and unrestrainedly as him are worth living in this world." Su Fangming paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the window, and glanced at the roof not far away. The white shadow standing upright.
He had already guessed that Bai Yutang would not rest assured that Su Yuan would come to the appointment alone, and sure enough, he came with her.
"You live in bondage?"
Recalling Su Fangming's words and deeds, they are all just right, and even his temper and character are controlled to a very calm and calm level.
Su Yuan originally thought it was something he was born with, but if it wasn't... Su Fangming's desire for a person like Bai Yutang in his heart, does it mean that he actually has a temperament similar to Bai Yutang's in his bones, reckless, arrogant and unrestrained?If such a sharp-edged person was honed into what Su Fangming looks like today, one can imagine how much he has been honed.
Su Fangming's silence made Su Yuan know the answer.
At this moment, Su Yuan believed Su Fangming's answer of "separate".The treatment between people is mutual, even between father and son.If the father kills the child's nature, then don't expect the child to talk about humanity to his father in the future.Su Fangming's ability to fulfill his filial piety in accordance with his responsibilities is already an act of benevolence and righteousness.
"Su Jinjing is very strict with you?"
Su Fangming was still looking in Bai Yutang's direction, and his voice was still emotionless, "I grew up in Taoist temples since I was a child, and I went back and forth to no less than eighteen Taoist temples."
Su Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, it turns out that Su Jinjing's beliefs have come to this point!Su Fangming is also his only son and heir after all, he is willing to throw this child in a Taoist temple to raise him like this.Even things like frequent moving have a great impact on children, let alone traveling to eighteen Taoist temples.
At this moment, Su Yuan seemed to have found a comrade in the same trench.As a comrade-in-arms, there is no need to be polite.She sat down at the table, drank her tea, and ate a snack.
Su Fangming was silent for a moment, thinking that he would hear emotion or comfort from Su Yuan, or some kind of response from her.As a result, he only heard the rustle of teeth clenching the pastry behind him, and then the sound of drinking water.
Su Fangming couldn't help but look back, seeing that Su Yuan was eating seriously, he was relieved, he really didn't need comfort or sympathy.But when this girl entered the door just now, she just stood there and told him that she was completely on guard against him?Now that he recognized him, he sat down and was willing to eat tea and fruit snacks?
"The pine nut cake is made of real ingredients, very soft and delicious. But if you put too much pine nuts, the taste is strong and easy to get greasy. Ask your cook to save some ingredients. It is delicious and saves money." Su Yuan did not eat it by mistake, but he did not forget Find a fault.
Su Fangming never ate this kind of dim sum. Hearing what Su Yuan said, he saw that she ate very well, so he came over and took a bite.
"Am I right?" Su Yuan asked.
Su Fangming nodded in confusion, "Probably right."
Su Yuan was surprised: "You can't even lose your appetite because you practiced in a Taoist temple since you were a child?"
Su Fangming lowered his eyes and did not deny it.
"Your father is really crazy!" Su Yuan sighed.
Look at the child he raised, even more inhumane than her, a person who survived the reincarnation of the doomsday!
Therefore, the most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart.
Of course, the cutest thing is the human heart.
"Maybe it's our father." Su Fangming corrected, intending to bring Su Yuan in.
"Don't worry, Su Feng is the only father in my face."
"On the bright side?"
"Well, I'm actually my own dad."
Su Yuan took a big bite of the pine nut cake, and one cheek bulged round.
Seeing Su Yuan eating, Su Fangming inexplicably felt relaxed.
He laughed and asked her, "What's the explanation?"
"I hurt myself."
Su Yuan took a sip of tea and sipped the pine nut cake.
"If a person doesn't know how to love himself, no one will love you."
Su Fang clearly understood that Su Yuan's last sentence meant something, as if it was specifically for him, asking him to learn to love himself.
Restraining his emotions and temper, being pure-hearted and ascetic, has already become a habit in his bones, and it is his own penance.
"Don't you feel tired? Why do you still eat?" Su Fangming then ordered someone to bring some other snacks again.
"Farewell, it's boring to always eat dim sum. Do you have green plum wine and bad goose palm?" Su Yuan is good at ordering.
Su Fangming laughed again, and immediately asked someone to prepare it.Even if the fairy building doesn't have what this girl wants, it must be there.
"You said you didn't know what happened back then, so what did the words in the letter mean?" Su Yuan asked Su Fangming.
"The reason why I say I don't know is because I haven't found any real evidence. But I have a guess, which is almost the same as your guess. The sentence I wrote to you in the letter is that I overheard him talking with Taoist Wang Chuan , came after speculation, to remind you."
Su Fangming then laughed at himself again.
"Don't look at me growing up in a Taoist temple, I don't believe in those things. What fate is not in my own hands? If you are really my sister, I can't just sit idly by."
Su Yuan asked Su Fangming again, who is the Taoist Master Wangchuan, but he is a Taoist priest enshrined in the Taoist temple built in his house.After getting Su Fangming's affirmative answer, Su Yuan asked Su Fangming to explain in detail what he heard the conversation about.
"I vaguely mentioned you, and then said: It's best if you don't keep it; if you keep it, there are other magical effects." Su Fangming told Su Yuan frankly without reservation.
It turns out that the cloudy and sunny in "floating clouds are in the sky, and they come and go to discuss cloudy and sunny" means to stay or not to stay.Su Yuan actually also guessed this point, but he didn't expect that they also had a plan to keep her, "there is another magical effect".
How wonderful is it?Probably only they themselves know.Anyway, Su Yuan couldn't guess it, because she wasn't superb enough, and couldn't understand the idea of the ultimate.
"You are really ruthless. You listened to them calculating me like this, but you still ask me?" Su Yuan said angrily.
"Thinking to kill people is very different from actually killing people in practice. The former is not guilty, but the latter should be punished. This is a vague statement, you and I don't know what it means. Everything today is speculation and there is no evidence Evidence. As a person in the government, you should also know that these alone cannot convict people.
I just want to give them a hand before they go astray.But if they really did something outrageous, I will definitely personally send them to Kaifeng Mansion for you to deal with. "
Su Fangming did not deny that he wanted to help his parents in this matter.But all of this is on the premise that it does not constitute a crime. If they really committed a crime, he is willing to kill their relatives righteously.
A real villain and a real gentleman.
It was the first time for Su Yuan to meet someone like Su Fangming, and he didn't dislike him.
She hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet, so she gnawed a bad goose palm first.
Su Fangming smiled, and looked at Su Yuan again, "Your personality is a bit different from what I have learned before."
"People have to grow and change. People still have to pretend to the outside world." Su Yuan was also very frank, and directly listed three reasons to explain to Su Fangming.
If Su Yuan only said the first two reasons, Su Fangming might not believe it, and would have doubts in his heart.
People will change, but some temperaments are in their bones, and they will not mutate because of a few encounters, and they will be completely different.
But for the last explanation, Su Yuan admitted that she was pretending to the outside world, Su Fangming had nothing to say, he tended to think that this girl had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
The little girl is extremely smart, not losing to him at all.If she is really Su Jinjing and Li's daughter, it will be their eternal loss.
Su Yuan: "So, among the three of us, only Su Xi has a better life?"
"Her?" Su Fangming chuckled, "No matter how you look at it, it's enough for her."
Su Yuan could hear a hint of sarcasm in Su Fangming's laughter, but seeing that he didn't intend to talk much, Su Yuan didn't want to ask more questions.But it can be understood from his tone that Su Xi is not living a good life, but Su Xi doesn't seem to feel it herself?
"Okay, I agree to your request. But if one day I find out the fact that the couple committed a crime, don't forget your promise."
The snake hits seven inches, and the most exciting thing is that the biological son sends them to the prison.It's not so interesting for her to catch it.
Su Yuan glanced at himself and only tasted the bad goose palm and the green plum wine that he hadn't had time to drink, and then looked at Su Fangming.
Su Fangming immediately understood what she meant by staring at her eagerly, and asked his subordinates to pack everything for Su Yuan.
"I'm afraid of waste, otherwise others won't eat my leftovers." Su Yuan explained.
"I can give you whatever you want to eat. If you need anything, just ask the shopkeeper of Xianrenlou. He is mine." Su Fangming did not forget to add, "Don't trust others easily."
Su Yuan nodded, took the food, waved to Su Fangming without hesitation, and left swiftly.
Su Fangming stood at the window on the second floor and watched her off.Then he saw the boy in white who was originally standing on the roof landed lightly, walking side by side with Su Yuan.Su Yuan seemed to have said something interesting, which caused Bai Yutang to look sideways at her, and then she raised the goose palm in her hand and shook it.
It's not hard to guess what Su Yuan said.Can eating bring her so much happiness?
Su Fangming summoned his subordinates and asked him to buy another copy of the same bad goose palm and send it to her.
After Su Fangming tasted two mouthfuls, he put it down.The taste is good, but the way to eat it is too ugly and the hands get dirty easily, which makes people lose interest.Thinking about it, is he bound by appearance rules again?He couldn't help laughing at himself.
"I bought this recipe, the goose palms are deboned, and I will send them to Miss Su in a few days." Su Fangming told the Shopkeeper Lou of the Immortal Building.
After Shopkeeper Lou agreed, he asked curiously, "Master, you fell in love with Miss Su just after seeing her?"
Su Fangming did not deny that Su Yuan was very angry with him.He even thought that Su Yuancai was his own sister, but Su Xi looked a little different.
He then asked shopkeeper Lou: "Do you think she is like my own sister?"
"There is a bit of similarity in eyebrows and eyes, but they are not that similar." Shopkeeper Lou said, "Sometimes people's hearts make them look more and more similar. In the eyes of villains, beautiful people have a bit of similarity."
Su Fangming pondered for a moment, and ordered Shopkeeper Lou to continue to send more people to find the old man of the Su family.Although it's been so many years, it shouldn't be impossible to find no one.
Shopkeeper Lou agreed, and was also curious about what Master Su and his wife did back then. They were so secretive that even the uncle kept it from them.
……
"Master Wang Chuan? I've heard of it, and he's quite famous."
When Bai Yutang heard that Su Yuan suddenly asked about this person, he asked her inexplicably, "Why did you suddenly ask him? Could it be that he is the Daoist enshrined by the Su family?"
Su Yuan nodded. If Su Fangming hadn't mentioned it just now, she would not have known the news.Since the Su family moved to Beijing, they have observed the Su Mansion deliberately, but they have not seen any Taoist priests entering or leaving the Su Mansion.
Thinking about this, Su Yuan realized something, and said to Bai Yutang: "Either this Taoist priest is haunted by ghosts and does not follow the usual path; or the Su family has a secret passage leading to other places. Otherwise, we won't see this Taoist priest for so long The figure, by the way, the Su family also kept silent about this Taoist priest."
They deliberately inquired who the Taoist priest enshrined in the Su Family Taoist Temple was, but no one revealed any information.
The Su family has been wonderful these years. The servants will be replaced every four or five years. Those who can stay in the Su family for a long time are all loyal servants with outstanding performance, such as Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper and others. It is basically impossible to get out the news, and the new servant knows very little about it.
The Su family moved into the capital this time, and changed a group of servants by the way, so even if Su Yuan and the others wanted to inquire, they could rarely inquire about any useful news.
"This Daoist Wangchuan seems to be a guest at the Palace of the Eight Sages." Bai Yutang thought about it.
The eight sage kings are noble in temperament, upright and resolute, and they don't like to have too close contacts with courtiers.Although the Su family is an imperial merchant, they are rich and powerful, so they must attract attention in Beijing.After all, money is a good thing. It can recruit soldiers and horses, but it can turn ghosts around.If Taoist Master Wang Chuan avoids dealing with the Su family because the Eight Sage Kings are jealous of this matter, it makes sense.
"Maybe there's something shady about this, and they communicate in secret." Bai Yutang felt that other possibilities could not be ruled out.
"Su Fangming guessed that the situation back then was similar to what I thought, so what does Fifth Master think?"
In fact, what Su Yuan said to Su Jinjing that day was only the worst possibility she could have guessed, with the intention of defrauding Su Jinjing and watching his reaction.
If an ordinary person makes a small mistake and you frame him with a big mistake, he may honestly admit the small mistake in order to justify that he did not make a big mistake.But after she told Su Jinjing about her speculation that day, Su Jinjing didn't justify it as a small mistake, but directly denied it completely.What does this mean?She may well have hit the truth right and wrong.
Bai Yutang pondered: "It's useless to guess, it's better to capture the old housekeeper of the Su family and torture him."
"We are good citizens, so don't do anything illegal." Su Yuan persuaded obediently.
Bai Yutang gave her a meaningful look, then nodded in response, "That makes sense."
Su Yuan:? ? ?
According to his usual temperament, shouldn't he be rebellious, show off wantonly, refute himself arrogantly, and then insist on capturing the old housekeeper of the Su family for torture?
Su Yuan also wanted to carry out the plot of "I don't want it, you insist, then I have no choice but to accept it".
She didn't know how to deal with the opponent who suddenly didn't follow the routine.
After Bai Yutang said the words, he felt that he shouldn't have said them.
If it is found out that Su Jinjing and his wife are indeed Su Yuan's parents, then they must be cautious in the future.And as far as Su Yuan was concerned, if it was her biological parents who believed that she was unknown and abandoned her, even if she didn't show it on the face, she would definitely feel sad in her heart, because no one likes to be abandoned by their close relatives.
Therefore, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the relationship between Su Yuan and the Su family remaining at the level of speculation.
In life, one cannot be defenseless, but one does not have to live too transparently.If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people live too thoroughly, they will get tired easily.People who have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world often feel that the world is not worth it.
In the end, Su Yuan didn't get too entangled in this matter. In fact, as long as the Su family didn't bother her, she wasn't very curious about her background.No matter how bad the situation is, it's just her guess, and she can accept it.But please don't bother her anymore, just let her live in peace.
Back to Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan didn't say goodbye to Bai Yutang, but followed him all the way to the front of the room.
Bai Yutang turned his head in doubt, and glanced at the follower behind him: "What are you doing?"
"Fifth Master has been back for two days, it's time to settle the score." The debt collector Su Yuan said.
Only then did Bai Yutang remember that he had promised Su Yuan to help him catch the doctor if he was unable to survive, and he would pay her double.
After a while, Bai Yutang took out an exquisite peachwood box from the room and handed it to Su Yuan.
"Take it." The voice was gentle, with a faint smile hidden.
Su Yuan opened the box and saw that not only Sun He's jewelry and belongings were inside, but also 3000 taels of silver bills.Sure enough, it's more than double, generous enough!
Collecting money and flattering others are the qualities that a money collector should have.
Su Yuan's eyebrows were curved, and he praised Bai Yutang with a smile: "The appearance of the fifth master giving money is especially handsome and extraordinary, with the beauty of Yushan, the appearance of a fairy, indescribably handsome and unrestrained, unparalleled in the world!"
Bai Yutang, who never liked being flattered, did not interrupt this time, and listened to the whole thing from beginning to end, and finally watched Su Yuan leave.
It can be seen that people are most likely to be happy when they live a simple life. As for those messy things, it's better not to disturb her.
After Su Yuan's figure disappeared, Bai Yutang turned cold and closed the door.After a while, only the sound of opening the window came from the house, and then the silence returned to the house, and the oil lamp was never lit.
Su Yuan knocked on Sun He's door happily, and returned Sun He's share of the money to her.
"I also earned an extra 3000 taels." Su Yuan flattened the 3000 taels of silver bills and put them back into the mahogany box.
"This box is exquisite, and the carvings on it look like the scenery of some place." Sun He touched the carved patterns on the surface of the box curiously, "This is like a market, and there are stalls selling things."
"Well, the carvings on this side seem to be the interior of someone's house." Su Yuan found that these little figures are carved lifelike. Although their heads are not as big as soybeans, they seem to have expressions, and their every move is full of charm. .
"This kind of handicraft is rare in the market. It looks like a tribute from the palace. It is also made of mahogany. It is the most auspicious to ward off evil spirits. It must not be cheap." Sun He caressed his face curiously.
Su Yuan took out the banknote and pushed the box to Sun He.For her, money is the most important thing. Sun He would give her the box if he liked it, but he couldn't eat it anyway.
"I can't take this!" Sun He quickly refused, almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
This thing is unusual at first glance, and it was given to the boss by Bai Wuye. If Wuye saw that it was with her, she might die.
"Take it if you like it." Su Yuan advised indifferently.
"I don't like it." Sun He immediately said against his will.
"Didn't you just say—"
"I suddenly remembered that my father asked someone to tell my fortune. He said that I have a lot of rotten peach blossoms. If I want to avoid it, I have to avoid things that attract peach blossoms." Sun He made a random reason.
"Okay then." Su Yuan put the 3000 taels back into the box and kept them all by himself.
Sun He looked at the three banknotes, one of which was slightly curled up, which looked very familiar to her.She suddenly remembered, isn't this the 3000 taels of silver bill that the boss gave her before, when she was nervous, she rolled the corner of the silver bill with her hand.
After going around together, the money went back to the boss!But it didn't go around in vain, Fifth Master Bai's place must be settled, you can tell by the way the boss is playing with the bank notes happily now.
It's not easy for Sun He to tell Su Yuan that the 3000 taels of silver is the original 3000 taels, because she has lied to Su Yuan before that the 3000 taels of silver was spent by her for fortune-telling.
Fifth Master Bai, Fifth Master Bai, your belly is not white at all, it's so dark!
But being able to make her boss so happy is considered amazing.
……
At three o'clock in the ugly hour, Kaifeng Mansion suddenly received a report from the people that a family named Ma in Hongxian Lane might have killed someone.
Su Yuan happened to be properly dressed and ready to go out for practice.After hearing about the case, he simply went to Hongxian Lane with the yamen servants on duty.
The reporter was a neighbor of this family surnamed Ma, a woman in her 30s, and her mother-in-law, who was in her early fifties, was with her.Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said that they were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and suddenly they heard the woman's screams from the house next door, which was very scary.They really want to help, but the old, the weak, and all women are afraid that the murderer will be too vicious and hurt them again, so they can only rush to the government to report the crime.
"You are right to do this." Su Yuan comforted the two women, then told them to stand back and lead someone into the house of Ma.
Oil lamps were lit inside the house, and the light was dim, but the messy scene everywhere, the tables and chairs that fell to the ground, the smashed clay pots... There was a small pool of blood in the center of the ground, and the blood stains intermittently extended to the direction of the inner room.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a weak humming sound coming from the back room, and the person seems to be dying from the sound.
Su Yuan and the yamen servants immediately entered the back room, and the first thing they saw was a man lying on the couch, motionless.When Su Yuan and others were about to check to see if it was him, they heard a low humming sound coming from another direction.
The yamen servants immediately followed the sound to see it, and they were all taken aback.
In such a late night, in a dark room with a little bit of light, a woman in a white dress with disheveled hair was half lying beside the closet.Most of her face was covered by her hair, but the exposed part was covered with blood, especially around her mouth, the blood was more heavily stained, and the clothes on her chest were also stained with bright red blood.
Su Yuan was used to this kind of scene a long time ago, unlike the yamen servants, his first instinct was to be afraid.She leaned directly in front of the woman, pushed her hair back to check her condition, saw that she could still roll her eyes flexibly to look at herself, she knew that she was alive and her mind was still clear.Immediately, she felt her pulse and glanced at the situation of her being beaten.
Su Yuan touched the woman's abdomen lightly, and then heard her cries of pain intensify.In addition, there was no wound on her body, so much blood was spit out of her mouth, combined with the pulse diagnosis, it should be stomach bleeding caused by beating.
Su Yuan was afraid that he was not good enough in his studies and that he was not accurate enough in diagnosing diseases, so he asked someone to invite the doctor again.The ground is cold and cold, the stomach is already severely injured, and it will be difficult to recover if it is cold again.
Su Yuan helped the woman up and looked at the bed.
The yamen servants recovered from their fright at this moment, knowing that the woman was only injured.Remembering that there was a man lying on the bed, wondering if the couple had been burglarized at home, the man had already been knocked out.
When the yamen servants were about to check on the man, they suddenly heard the man's snoring on the bed.
All the yamen servants: "..."
It turned out that the man didn't faint, but fell asleep!
From this, I naturally thought: Could it be that this man is an asshole, beating his wife?
Then he slept like a dead man, so many people broke into his house, and the commotion was not too small, but he still fell asleep and didn't wake up!
The yamen servant patted the man's face, and the man turned over and fell asleep.The yamen servant slapped his face and called him loudly.
The man opened his eyes and opened his mouth to curse: "You bitch—"
When he saw that the person in front of him was a government servant, the man was stunned and stopped yelling.He hurriedly rolled off the bed with a dazed expression on his face, but he didn't dare to show his temper, and asked the yamen servants what happened humbly.
At this moment, Su Yuan helped the woman onto the bed.
"Is she your wife? You beat her?"
The man nodded, and explained to the yamen servants: "I can beat people, but this bitch is unruly, and she hooks up with men outside, I deserve it for beating her!"
When the woman heard this, she became emotional, her hands trembled slightly, she refused to accept and wanted to defend herself, but because of the blood in her mouth, she was so weak that she couldn't say anything.
As soon as the man approached her, he was terrified and shrank his neck to dodge.
"Why, you still want to fight in front of us?"
"Don't dare, dare not." The man said politely.
"Not to mention whether she was wronged by you, even if it was the crime of adultery, she was only sentenced to a few years in prison, but you beat people to death, killing people." Su Yuan said.
The man glared at the woman, and refused to accept the excuse, "I didn't wrong her."
Su Yuan found that the man completely ignored what she said, and only said that he did not wrong the woman.Obviously he has something he is looking for, and he doesn't want to listen to other people's reasoning.It means that as long as this woman is indiscreet, she deserves to be beaten to death by him.He was very righteous and felt that this was justifiable and not a crime at all.
At this time the doctor came, and Su Yuan asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who reported the crime next door to take care of it.She and the servants withdrew from the house with the men.
Bai Yutang rushed over at this time, seeing Su Yuan came so early, he gave her a suspicious look.
"I fell asleep while reading a book last night, so I forgot to change my clothes. I just came here when I heard there was a report." Su Yuan explained to him.
Bai Yutang said 'hmm', didn't say any more, but looked at the man.
"The villain's name is Ma Sui, he is a porter, and the person in the house is the villain's wife. We have been married for two years, and this woman hasn't even laid a single egg. The villain was not at home the day before yesterday. I heard that she went to the street to buy When things came back, they were beaten by a man.
All the officials judge the villain, why did the man beat the villain's wife for no reason?It wasn't because the two of them had some shady activities, and after some rift arose, the man would beat her only when he was angry.
The villain only found out about this from an outsider today, so he came back to question her, but she still pretended to be innocent, crying and told me that she didn't know the man at all, and she didn't know why the man suddenly came out and beat her Slap and run away.No matter how hard Ren Xiaoren asked, she just refused to admit it. Isn't this due to beating?I just hit her for being petty. Is this a crime? "
"Why don't you break the law? If you beat someone to death, it's a murder case. There is a dog's head in Kaifeng Mansion to serve you!" the yamen servant shouted at him.
Ma Sui panicked, and explained: "But, but... I didn't intend to kill her, let alone be cruel. We were just a quarrel between husband and wife, yes, it's a quarrel. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Ma Suiyue spoke louder, as if deliberately speaking to the woman Tang in the room.
After Su Yuan waited for the doctor to diagnose and treat her, he brought Ma Sui into the house and asked Tang about her life.
Tang's explanation is as Ma Sui said.She really didn't know that man, but when she was going out, she would meet him by chance and meet him a few times.The day before yesterday he ran towards her suddenly and slapped her. She was also wronged and didn't understand why.But because he was afraid that Ma Sui would misunderstand this matter if he said it, so he kept it secret.But he didn't expect that he heard it from outside today, and when he came back, he decided that she was beaten because of having an affair with that man, and she couldn't explain it any way she wanted.
"Are you willing to sue Ma Sui for beating you?" Bai Yutang asked directly.
Before Tang could answer, Ma Sui became anxious and scolded her: "Bitch, do you still want to send me to jail?"
"I was wronged, I don't know that person." Tang defended aggrievedly, his voice was extremely weak.
As soon as Ma Sui heard this, he exploded, "If you don't know him, he will hit you for no reason? Then why doesn't he hit me?"
Bai Yutang lifted his foot and kicked the horse to the ground.
Ma Sui let out an 'ouch', and he didn't realize what happened so quickly.Immediately, he looked at Bai Yutang in bewilderment, wondering why Bai Yutang wanted to beat him.
When talking to Bai Yutang, Ma Sui didn't have the same aggressiveness as he did to Tang, and his tone was aggrieved and submissive.
"I'll hit you for no reason?"
There was contempt in the cold eyes.
Ma Sui immediately had the illusion that he was as small as an ant and would be crushed to death by the God of Death at any time, and immediately trembled in fright.
"Why don't I hit others?" Bai Yutang asked again, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards Ma Sui.
Ma Sui was terrified, begged for mercy and kowtowed, admitting his mistake.
Su Yuan then told Ma Sui about the meat cutting case that Kaifeng Mansion had cracked a few days ago, "...the perpetrator chose strange women as his target."
Suddenly, Ma Sui asked Su Yuan, "Is there such a thing?"
"Where do you come from, the person who is beaten must be guilty? If you have some knowledge, you will not do such a thing." Su Yuan said to Tang again, "He hurt you so much, he should be taught, Today we will arrest him and put him in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion."
Ma Sui panicked and begged for mercy, urging Tang to speak up for him.
Tang hurriedly reached out and grabbed Su Yuan's sleeve, lowered his head and whispered, "It's me, I accidentally broke my body while walking... It has nothing to do with him, it wasn't him who hit me, please don't catch me." He, he is my husband after all!"
Bai Yutang seemed to have expected this, he sneered and left the courtyard.
In fact, Su Yuan also expected that such a situation might happen. As long as Tang insisted that he was injured and did not sue Ma Sui, they would have nothing to do.
Su Yuan also came out afterward, and returned to Kaifeng Mansion with Bai Yutang.
"You explained the flesh-cutting case to Ma Sui, and you hope that their husband and wife will reconcile?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuan.
"If I don't explain, Tang Corporation will sue Ma Sui?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, if Tang was really bloody, he wouldn't behave like that.Even though she was beaten to a bloody mess, as long as she didn't get beaten to death, for the sake of her reputation and her future life, she probably wouldn't sue her husband.Most women are like this. When they get married, they regard their husband's family as their heaven, even if this 'heaven' is not as good as shit.
"Don't say that the world is not tolerant to women. Women's lives are hard. Even when the world is good, some women still feel the same way. They feel that if they are married, they will be with this man for the rest of their lives, no matter whether he is a beast or not. Sacrifice."
Bai Yutang looked at Su Yuan: "You can't."
"Of course I won't." Su Yuan raised her chin confidently.
Bai Yutang raised the corners of his lips, and was about to ask Su Yuan if he was so confident because of his good eyesight, when Su Yuan added another sentence.
"I am a beast."
These words suddenly sounded like Su Fangming wanted to protect him and stand up for her, but Su Yuanshen thought that the relationship between them had not reached this point, after all, today was their first meeting.
"Why?"
Su Fangming: "They are old and stubborn. If they are confused, sons of man should stop them."
Su Yuan understood that the purpose of Su Fangming's words was not to protect her, but to keep Su Jinjing and his wife.He could see very clearly that the game between her and Su Jinjing and his wife would eventually end with her winning.So Su Fangming came here to intercede, and hoped that she would show mercy and tell him before she planned to do anything.
Su Yuan couldn't help sighing that Su Fangming was calculating, he should be the calmest and smartest person in the Su family.Just because he can conclude that she can beat Su Jinjing under the current situation, it can be seen that he is very good at seeing the essence through phenomena.
"I will send people to pay more attention to them, try to be thorough, and not be negligent."
According to Su Fangming's words, he will try his best to stop Su Jinjing and his wife's foolish actions.But he was afraid of being negligent, and at that time he hoped that Su Yuan would let him know, and he would solve it for him without Su Yuan's action.
Seeing that Su Yuan was silent, Su Fangming also knew that this request was too much for Su Yuan, so he said softly to her: "Miss Su has given me a favor, and no matter what happens to Miss Su in the future, as long as it is not illegal If it violates morality, I will do my best to help."
The favor Su Fangming mentioned naturally refers to the incident in which he helped clean up Bai Yutang and throw Pang Xian in the Immortal Tower.
"This favor depends on how you count it. Whether you and the Su family are separated or together. If you are separated, it can be counted as a favor. If you are together, it is not counted. As for your help, do you think I will care about it?"
Regarding Pang Xian's matter, even if Su Fangming offered a favor, it would not be able to offset the Su family's calculations against her.Besides, Su Yuan believed in Bai Yutang's strength, even if he was intercepted by the experts from Xianrenlou that night, he would still take care of the trouble.
This favor was nothing at all, and Su Fangming knew it well, so he added conditions.
"Separate." Su Fangming answered very simply, without any hesitation.
"Oh?" Su Yuan was a little surprised by this answer. Since Su Fang invited her to negotiate terms, the purpose was to protect Su Jinjing and his wife.A family is naturally considered to be together, so why did Su Fangming say they were separated?
"The kindness of nurturing should always be repaid, but I and their husband and wife are not together. In fact, to this day, I don't know what happened to my mother who gave birth to a younger sister. I can't find this in the Su family. The truth is probably only them. I know it myself." Su Fangming explained.
Su Yuan felt that Su Fangming's words were a bit strange, so he asked him for confirmation: "I hear what you mean, is it just out of responsibility? You have no admiration for them like children or parents?"
Su Fangming's eyes flickered, as if thinking of some bad memories, he lowered his eyes to avoid Su Yuan's scrutiny.It was as if his ugly side was suddenly revealed, and he was very afraid of seeing the light.
"You probably don't believe it, but you really don't." His voice was faint and cold, and there was no emotion at all.
Su Yuan didn't know why, she obviously didn't understand Su Fangming, but at this moment, she somehow felt that Su Fangming was a bit pitiful.
"Actually, I envy you sometimes," Su Fangming said, "No matter what the truth was back then, the result is that you left the Su family and lived a free life. It would be nice if I was the one who left, even if it was me. To die of starvation, sickness and death is also to live for oneself, and it will not become what it is now."
"You look pretty good. Mr. Qianqian is as gentle as jade, and he must have fascinated many girls in the boudoir. How can you suddenly belittle yourself?" Although Su Yuan guessed that there was something inside, Su Fangming didn't need to think so. heavy.
"Actually, the person I envy the most is Bai Yutang. People who live as freely and unrestrainedly as him are worth living in this world." Su Fangming paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, stood in front of the window, and glanced at the roof not far away. The white shadow standing upright.
He had already guessed that Bai Yutang would not rest assured that Su Yuan would come to the appointment alone, and sure enough, he came with her.
"You live in bondage?"
Recalling Su Fangming's words and deeds, they are all just right, and even his temper and character are controlled to a very calm and calm level.
Su Yuan originally thought it was something he was born with, but if it wasn't... Su Fangming's desire for a person like Bai Yutang in his heart, does it mean that he actually has a temperament similar to Bai Yutang's in his bones, reckless, arrogant and unrestrained?If such a sharp-edged person was honed into what Su Fangming looks like today, one can imagine how much he has been honed.
Su Fangming's silence made Su Yuan know the answer.
At this moment, Su Yuan believed Su Fangming's answer of "separate".The treatment between people is mutual, even between father and son.If the father kills the child's nature, then don't expect the child to talk about humanity to his father in the future.Su Fangming's ability to fulfill his filial piety in accordance with his responsibilities is already an act of benevolence and righteousness.
"Su Jinjing is very strict with you?"
Su Fangming was still looking in Bai Yutang's direction, and his voice was still emotionless, "I grew up in Taoist temples since I was a child, and I went back and forth to no less than eighteen Taoist temples."
Su Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, it turns out that Su Jinjing's beliefs have come to this point!Su Fangming is also his only son and heir after all, he is willing to throw this child in a Taoist temple to raise him like this.Even things like frequent moving have a great impact on children, let alone traveling to eighteen Taoist temples.
At this moment, Su Yuan seemed to have found a comrade in the same trench.As a comrade-in-arms, there is no need to be polite.She sat down at the table, drank her tea, and ate a snack.
Su Fangming was silent for a moment, thinking that he would hear emotion or comfort from Su Yuan, or some kind of response from her.As a result, he only heard the rustle of teeth clenching the pastry behind him, and then the sound of drinking water.
Su Fangming couldn't help but look back, seeing that Su Yuan was eating seriously, he was relieved, he really didn't need comfort or sympathy.But when this girl entered the door just now, she just stood there and told him that she was completely on guard against him?Now that he recognized him, he sat down and was willing to eat tea and fruit snacks?
"The pine nut cake is made of real ingredients, very soft and delicious. But if you put too much pine nuts, the taste is strong and easy to get greasy. Ask your cook to save some ingredients. It is delicious and saves money." Su Yuan did not eat it by mistake, but he did not forget Find a fault.
Su Fangming never ate this kind of dim sum. Hearing what Su Yuan said, he saw that she ate very well, so he came over and took a bite.
"Am I right?" Su Yuan asked.
Su Fangming nodded in confusion, "Probably right."
Su Yuan was surprised: "You can't even lose your appetite because you practiced in a Taoist temple since you were a child?"
Su Fangming lowered his eyes and did not deny it.
"Your father is really crazy!" Su Yuan sighed.
Look at the child he raised, even more inhumane than her, a person who survived the reincarnation of the doomsday!
Therefore, the most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart.
Of course, the cutest thing is the human heart.
"Maybe it's our father." Su Fangming corrected, intending to bring Su Yuan in.
"Don't worry, Su Feng is the only father in my face."
"On the bright side?"
"Well, I'm actually my own dad."
Su Yuan took a big bite of the pine nut cake, and one cheek bulged round.
Seeing Su Yuan eating, Su Fangming inexplicably felt relaxed.
He laughed and asked her, "What's the explanation?"
"I hurt myself."
Su Yuan took a sip of tea and sipped the pine nut cake.
"If a person doesn't know how to love himself, no one will love you."
Su Fang clearly understood that Su Yuan's last sentence meant something, as if it was specifically for him, asking him to learn to love himself.
Restraining his emotions and temper, being pure-hearted and ascetic, has already become a habit in his bones, and it is his own penance.
"Don't you feel tired? Why do you still eat?" Su Fangming then ordered someone to bring some other snacks again.
"Farewell, it's boring to always eat dim sum. Do you have green plum wine and bad goose palm?" Su Yuan is good at ordering.
Su Fangming laughed again, and immediately asked someone to prepare it.Even if the fairy building doesn't have what this girl wants, it must be there.
"You said you didn't know what happened back then, so what did the words in the letter mean?" Su Yuan asked Su Fangming.
"The reason why I say I don't know is because I haven't found any real evidence. But I have a guess, which is almost the same as your guess. The sentence I wrote to you in the letter is that I overheard him talking with Taoist Wang Chuan , came after speculation, to remind you."
Su Fangming then laughed at himself again.
"Don't look at me growing up in a Taoist temple, I don't believe in those things. What fate is not in my own hands? If you are really my sister, I can't just sit idly by."
Su Yuan asked Su Fangming again, who is the Taoist Master Wangchuan, but he is a Taoist priest enshrined in the Taoist temple built in his house.After getting Su Fangming's affirmative answer, Su Yuan asked Su Fangming to explain in detail what he heard the conversation about.
"I vaguely mentioned you, and then said: It's best if you don't keep it; if you keep it, there are other magical effects." Su Fangming told Su Yuan frankly without reservation.
It turns out that the cloudy and sunny in "floating clouds are in the sky, and they come and go to discuss cloudy and sunny" means to stay or not to stay.Su Yuan actually also guessed this point, but he didn't expect that they also had a plan to keep her, "there is another magical effect".
How wonderful is it?Probably only they themselves know.Anyway, Su Yuan couldn't guess it, because she wasn't superb enough, and couldn't understand the idea of the ultimate.
"You are really ruthless. You listened to them calculating me like this, but you still ask me?" Su Yuan said angrily.
"Thinking to kill people is very different from actually killing people in practice. The former is not guilty, but the latter should be punished. This is a vague statement, you and I don't know what it means. Everything today is speculation and there is no evidence Evidence. As a person in the government, you should also know that these alone cannot convict people.
I just want to give them a hand before they go astray.But if they really did something outrageous, I will definitely personally send them to Kaifeng Mansion for you to deal with. "
Su Fangming did not deny that he wanted to help his parents in this matter.But all of this is on the premise that it does not constitute a crime. If they really committed a crime, he is willing to kill their relatives righteously.
A real villain and a real gentleman.
It was the first time for Su Yuan to meet someone like Su Fangming, and he didn't dislike him.
She hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet, so she gnawed a bad goose palm first.
Su Fangming smiled, and looked at Su Yuan again, "Your personality is a bit different from what I have learned before."
"People have to grow and change. People still have to pretend to the outside world." Su Yuan was also very frank, and directly listed three reasons to explain to Su Fangming.
If Su Yuan only said the first two reasons, Su Fangming might not believe it, and would have doubts in his heart.
People will change, but some temperaments are in their bones, and they will not mutate because of a few encounters, and they will be completely different.
But for the last explanation, Su Yuan admitted that she was pretending to the outside world, Su Fangming had nothing to say, he tended to think that this girl had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
The little girl is extremely smart, not losing to him at all.If she is really Su Jinjing and Li's daughter, it will be their eternal loss.
Su Yuan: "So, among the three of us, only Su Xi has a better life?"
"Her?" Su Fangming chuckled, "No matter how you look at it, it's enough for her."
Su Yuan could hear a hint of sarcasm in Su Fangming's laughter, but seeing that he didn't intend to talk much, Su Yuan didn't want to ask more questions.But it can be understood from his tone that Su Xi is not living a good life, but Su Xi doesn't seem to feel it herself?
"Okay, I agree to your request. But if one day I find out the fact that the couple committed a crime, don't forget your promise."
The snake hits seven inches, and the most exciting thing is that the biological son sends them to the prison.It's not so interesting for her to catch it.
Su Yuan glanced at himself and only tasted the bad goose palm and the green plum wine that he hadn't had time to drink, and then looked at Su Fangming.
Su Fangming immediately understood what she meant by staring at her eagerly, and asked his subordinates to pack everything for Su Yuan.
"I'm afraid of waste, otherwise others won't eat my leftovers." Su Yuan explained.
"I can give you whatever you want to eat. If you need anything, just ask the shopkeeper of Xianrenlou. He is mine." Su Fangming did not forget to add, "Don't trust others easily."
Su Yuan nodded, took the food, waved to Su Fangming without hesitation, and left swiftly.
Su Fangming stood at the window on the second floor and watched her off.Then he saw the boy in white who was originally standing on the roof landed lightly, walking side by side with Su Yuan.Su Yuan seemed to have said something interesting, which caused Bai Yutang to look sideways at her, and then she raised the goose palm in her hand and shook it.
It's not hard to guess what Su Yuan said.Can eating bring her so much happiness?
Su Fangming summoned his subordinates and asked him to buy another copy of the same bad goose palm and send it to her.
After Su Fangming tasted two mouthfuls, he put it down.The taste is good, but the way to eat it is too ugly and the hands get dirty easily, which makes people lose interest.Thinking about it, is he bound by appearance rules again?He couldn't help laughing at himself.
"I bought this recipe, the goose palms are deboned, and I will send them to Miss Su in a few days." Su Fangming told the Shopkeeper Lou of the Immortal Building.
After Shopkeeper Lou agreed, he asked curiously, "Master, you fell in love with Miss Su just after seeing her?"
Su Fangming did not deny that Su Yuan was very angry with him.He even thought that Su Yuancai was his own sister, but Su Xi looked a little different.
He then asked shopkeeper Lou: "Do you think she is like my own sister?"
"There is a bit of similarity in eyebrows and eyes, but they are not that similar." Shopkeeper Lou said, "Sometimes people's hearts make them look more and more similar. In the eyes of villains, beautiful people have a bit of similarity."
Su Fangming pondered for a moment, and ordered Shopkeeper Lou to continue to send more people to find the old man of the Su family.Although it's been so many years, it shouldn't be impossible to find no one.
Shopkeeper Lou agreed, and was also curious about what Master Su and his wife did back then. They were so secretive that even the uncle kept it from them.
……
"Master Wang Chuan? I've heard of it, and he's quite famous."
When Bai Yutang heard that Su Yuan suddenly asked about this person, he asked her inexplicably, "Why did you suddenly ask him? Could it be that he is the Daoist enshrined by the Su family?"
Su Yuan nodded. If Su Fangming hadn't mentioned it just now, she would not have known the news.Since the Su family moved to Beijing, they have observed the Su Mansion deliberately, but they have not seen any Taoist priests entering or leaving the Su Mansion.
Thinking about this, Su Yuan realized something, and said to Bai Yutang: "Either this Taoist priest is haunted by ghosts and does not follow the usual path; or the Su family has a secret passage leading to other places. Otherwise, we won't see this Taoist priest for so long The figure, by the way, the Su family also kept silent about this Taoist priest."
They deliberately inquired who the Taoist priest enshrined in the Su Family Taoist Temple was, but no one revealed any information.
The Su family has been wonderful these years. The servants will be replaced every four or five years. Those who can stay in the Su family for a long time are all loyal servants with outstanding performance, such as Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper and others. It is basically impossible to get out the news, and the new servant knows very little about it.
The Su family moved into the capital this time, and changed a group of servants by the way, so even if Su Yuan and the others wanted to inquire, they could rarely inquire about any useful news.
"This Daoist Wangchuan seems to be a guest at the Palace of the Eight Sages." Bai Yutang thought about it.
The eight sage kings are noble in temperament, upright and resolute, and they don't like to have too close contacts with courtiers.Although the Su family is an imperial merchant, they are rich and powerful, so they must attract attention in Beijing.After all, money is a good thing. It can recruit soldiers and horses, but it can turn ghosts around.If Taoist Master Wang Chuan avoids dealing with the Su family because the Eight Sage Kings are jealous of this matter, it makes sense.
"Maybe there's something shady about this, and they communicate in secret." Bai Yutang felt that other possibilities could not be ruled out.
"Su Fangming guessed that the situation back then was similar to what I thought, so what does Fifth Master think?"
In fact, what Su Yuan said to Su Jinjing that day was only the worst possibility she could have guessed, with the intention of defrauding Su Jinjing and watching his reaction.
If an ordinary person makes a small mistake and you frame him with a big mistake, he may honestly admit the small mistake in order to justify that he did not make a big mistake.But after she told Su Jinjing about her speculation that day, Su Jinjing didn't justify it as a small mistake, but directly denied it completely.What does this mean?She may well have hit the truth right and wrong.
Bai Yutang pondered: "It's useless to guess, it's better to capture the old housekeeper of the Su family and torture him."
"We are good citizens, so don't do anything illegal." Su Yuan persuaded obediently.
Bai Yutang gave her a meaningful look, then nodded in response, "That makes sense."
Su Yuan:? ? ?
According to his usual temperament, shouldn't he be rebellious, show off wantonly, refute himself arrogantly, and then insist on capturing the old housekeeper of the Su family for torture?
Su Yuan also wanted to carry out the plot of "I don't want it, you insist, then I have no choice but to accept it".
She didn't know how to deal with the opponent who suddenly didn't follow the routine.
After Bai Yutang said the words, he felt that he shouldn't have said them.
If it is found out that Su Jinjing and his wife are indeed Su Yuan's parents, then they must be cautious in the future.And as far as Su Yuan was concerned, if it was her biological parents who believed that she was unknown and abandoned her, even if she didn't show it on the face, she would definitely feel sad in her heart, because no one likes to be abandoned by their close relatives.
Therefore, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the relationship between Su Yuan and the Su family remaining at the level of speculation.
In life, one cannot be defenseless, but one does not have to live too transparently.If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people live too thoroughly, they will get tired easily.People who have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world often feel that the world is not worth it.
In the end, Su Yuan didn't get too entangled in this matter. In fact, as long as the Su family didn't bother her, she wasn't very curious about her background.No matter how bad the situation is, it's just her guess, and she can accept it.But please don't bother her anymore, just let her live in peace.
Back to Kaifeng Mansion, Su Yuan didn't say goodbye to Bai Yutang, but followed him all the way to the front of the room.
Bai Yutang turned his head in doubt, and glanced at the follower behind him: "What are you doing?"
"Fifth Master has been back for two days, it's time to settle the score." The debt collector Su Yuan said.
Only then did Bai Yutang remember that he had promised Su Yuan to help him catch the doctor if he was unable to survive, and he would pay her double.
After a while, Bai Yutang took out an exquisite peachwood box from the room and handed it to Su Yuan.
"Take it." The voice was gentle, with a faint smile hidden.
Su Yuan opened the box and saw that not only Sun He's jewelry and belongings were inside, but also 3000 taels of silver bills.Sure enough, it's more than double, generous enough!
Collecting money and flattering others are the qualities that a money collector should have.
Su Yuan's eyebrows were curved, and he praised Bai Yutang with a smile: "The appearance of the fifth master giving money is especially handsome and extraordinary, with the beauty of Yushan, the appearance of a fairy, indescribably handsome and unrestrained, unparalleled in the world!"
Bai Yutang, who never liked being flattered, did not interrupt this time, and listened to the whole thing from beginning to end, and finally watched Su Yuan leave.
It can be seen that people are most likely to be happy when they live a simple life. As for those messy things, it's better not to disturb her.
After Su Yuan's figure disappeared, Bai Yutang turned cold and closed the door.After a while, only the sound of opening the window came from the house, and then the silence returned to the house, and the oil lamp was never lit.
Su Yuan knocked on Sun He's door happily, and returned Sun He's share of the money to her.
"I also earned an extra 3000 taels." Su Yuan flattened the 3000 taels of silver bills and put them back into the mahogany box.
"This box is exquisite, and the carvings on it look like the scenery of some place." Sun He touched the carved patterns on the surface of the box curiously, "This is like a market, and there are stalls selling things."
"Well, the carvings on this side seem to be the interior of someone's house." Su Yuan found that these little figures are carved lifelike. Although their heads are not as big as soybeans, they seem to have expressions, and their every move is full of charm. .
"This kind of handicraft is rare in the market. It looks like a tribute from the palace. It is also made of mahogany. It is the most auspicious to ward off evil spirits. It must not be cheap." Sun He caressed his face curiously.
Su Yuan took out the banknote and pushed the box to Sun He.For her, money is the most important thing. Sun He would give her the box if he liked it, but he couldn't eat it anyway.
"I can't take this!" Sun He quickly refused, almost breaking out in a cold sweat.
This thing is unusual at first glance, and it was given to the boss by Bai Wuye. If Wuye saw that it was with her, she might die.
"Take it if you like it." Su Yuan advised indifferently.
"I don't like it." Sun He immediately said against his will.
"Didn't you just say—"
"I suddenly remembered that my father asked someone to tell my fortune. He said that I have a lot of rotten peach blossoms. If I want to avoid it, I have to avoid things that attract peach blossoms." Sun He made a random reason.
"Okay then." Su Yuan put the 3000 taels back into the box and kept them all by himself.
Sun He looked at the three banknotes, one of which was slightly curled up, which looked very familiar to her.She suddenly remembered, isn't this the 3000 taels of silver bill that the boss gave her before, when she was nervous, she rolled the corner of the silver bill with her hand.
After going around together, the money went back to the boss!But it didn't go around in vain, Fifth Master Bai's place must be settled, you can tell by the way the boss is playing with the bank notes happily now.
It's not easy for Sun He to tell Su Yuan that the 3000 taels of silver is the original 3000 taels, because she has lied to Su Yuan before that the 3000 taels of silver was spent by her for fortune-telling.
Fifth Master Bai, Fifth Master Bai, your belly is not white at all, it's so dark!
But being able to make her boss so happy is considered amazing.
……
At three o'clock in the ugly hour, Kaifeng Mansion suddenly received a report from the people that a family named Ma in Hongxian Lane might have killed someone.
Su Yuan happened to be properly dressed and ready to go out for practice.After hearing about the case, he simply went to Hongxian Lane with the yamen servants on duty.
The reporter was a neighbor of this family surnamed Ma, a woman in her 30s, and her mother-in-law, who was in her early fifties, was with her.Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said that they were sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and suddenly they heard the woman's screams from the house next door, which was very scary.They really want to help, but the old, the weak, and all women are afraid that the murderer will be too vicious and hurt them again, so they can only rush to the government to report the crime.
"You are right to do this." Su Yuan comforted the two women, then told them to stand back and lead someone into the house of Ma.
Oil lamps were lit inside the house, and the light was dim, but the messy scene everywhere, the tables and chairs that fell to the ground, the smashed clay pots... There was a small pool of blood in the center of the ground, and the blood stains intermittently extended to the direction of the inner room.
If you listen carefully, you can hear a weak humming sound coming from the back room, and the person seems to be dying from the sound.
Su Yuan and the yamen servants immediately entered the back room, and the first thing they saw was a man lying on the couch, motionless.When Su Yuan and others were about to check to see if it was him, they heard a low humming sound coming from another direction.
The yamen servants immediately followed the sound to see it, and they were all taken aback.
In such a late night, in a dark room with a little bit of light, a woman in a white dress with disheveled hair was half lying beside the closet.Most of her face was covered by her hair, but the exposed part was covered with blood, especially around her mouth, the blood was more heavily stained, and the clothes on her chest were also stained with bright red blood.
Su Yuan was used to this kind of scene a long time ago, unlike the yamen servants, his first instinct was to be afraid.She leaned directly in front of the woman, pushed her hair back to check her condition, saw that she could still roll her eyes flexibly to look at herself, she knew that she was alive and her mind was still clear.Immediately, she felt her pulse and glanced at the situation of her being beaten.
Su Yuan touched the woman's abdomen lightly, and then heard her cries of pain intensify.In addition, there was no wound on her body, so much blood was spit out of her mouth, combined with the pulse diagnosis, it should be stomach bleeding caused by beating.
Su Yuan was afraid that he was not good enough in his studies and that he was not accurate enough in diagnosing diseases, so he asked someone to invite the doctor again.The ground is cold and cold, the stomach is already severely injured, and it will be difficult to recover if it is cold again.
Su Yuan helped the woman up and looked at the bed.
The yamen servants recovered from their fright at this moment, knowing that the woman was only injured.Remembering that there was a man lying on the bed, wondering if the couple had been burglarized at home, the man had already been knocked out.
When the yamen servants were about to check on the man, they suddenly heard the man's snoring on the bed.
All the yamen servants: "..."
It turned out that the man didn't faint, but fell asleep!
From this, I naturally thought: Could it be that this man is an asshole, beating his wife?
Then he slept like a dead man, so many people broke into his house, and the commotion was not too small, but he still fell asleep and didn't wake up!
The yamen servant patted the man's face, and the man turned over and fell asleep.The yamen servant slapped his face and called him loudly.
The man opened his eyes and opened his mouth to curse: "You bitch—"
When he saw that the person in front of him was a government servant, the man was stunned and stopped yelling.He hurriedly rolled off the bed with a dazed expression on his face, but he didn't dare to show his temper, and asked the yamen servants what happened humbly.
At this moment, Su Yuan helped the woman onto the bed.
"Is she your wife? You beat her?"
The man nodded, and explained to the yamen servants: "I can beat people, but this bitch is unruly, and she hooks up with men outside, I deserve it for beating her!"
When the woman heard this, she became emotional, her hands trembled slightly, she refused to accept and wanted to defend herself, but because of the blood in her mouth, she was so weak that she couldn't say anything.
As soon as the man approached her, he was terrified and shrank his neck to dodge.
"Why, you still want to fight in front of us?"
"Don't dare, dare not." The man said politely.
"Not to mention whether she was wronged by you, even if it was the crime of adultery, she was only sentenced to a few years in prison, but you beat people to death, killing people." Su Yuan said.
The man glared at the woman, and refused to accept the excuse, "I didn't wrong her."
Su Yuan found that the man completely ignored what she said, and only said that he did not wrong the woman.Obviously he has something he is looking for, and he doesn't want to listen to other people's reasoning.It means that as long as this woman is indiscreet, she deserves to be beaten to death by him.He was very righteous and felt that this was justifiable and not a crime at all.
At this time the doctor came, and Su Yuan asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who reported the crime next door to take care of it.She and the servants withdrew from the house with the men.
Bai Yutang rushed over at this time, seeing Su Yuan came so early, he gave her a suspicious look.
"I fell asleep while reading a book last night, so I forgot to change my clothes. I just came here when I heard there was a report." Su Yuan explained to him.
Bai Yutang said 'hmm', didn't say any more, but looked at the man.
"The villain's name is Ma Sui, he is a porter, and the person in the house is the villain's wife. We have been married for two years, and this woman hasn't even laid a single egg. The villain was not at home the day before yesterday. I heard that she went to the street to buy When things came back, they were beaten by a man.
All the officials judge the villain, why did the man beat the villain's wife for no reason?It wasn't because the two of them had some shady activities, and after some rift arose, the man would beat her only when he was angry.
The villain only found out about this from an outsider today, so he came back to question her, but she still pretended to be innocent, crying and told me that she didn't know the man at all, and she didn't know why the man suddenly came out and beat her Slap and run away.No matter how hard Ren Xiaoren asked, she just refused to admit it. Isn't this due to beating?I just hit her for being petty. Is this a crime? "
"Why don't you break the law? If you beat someone to death, it's a murder case. There is a dog's head in Kaifeng Mansion to serve you!" the yamen servant shouted at him.
Ma Sui panicked, and explained: "But, but... I didn't intend to kill her, let alone be cruel. We were just a quarrel between husband and wife, yes, it's a quarrel. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
Ma Suiyue spoke louder, as if deliberately speaking to the woman Tang in the room.
After Su Yuan waited for the doctor to diagnose and treat her, he brought Ma Sui into the house and asked Tang about her life.
Tang's explanation is as Ma Sui said.She really didn't know that man, but when she was going out, she would meet him by chance and meet him a few times.The day before yesterday he ran towards her suddenly and slapped her. She was also wronged and didn't understand why.But because he was afraid that Ma Sui would misunderstand this matter if he said it, so he kept it secret.But he didn't expect that he heard it from outside today, and when he came back, he decided that she was beaten because of having an affair with that man, and she couldn't explain it any way she wanted.
"Are you willing to sue Ma Sui for beating you?" Bai Yutang asked directly.
Before Tang could answer, Ma Sui became anxious and scolded her: "Bitch, do you still want to send me to jail?"
"I was wronged, I don't know that person." Tang defended aggrievedly, his voice was extremely weak.
As soon as Ma Sui heard this, he exploded, "If you don't know him, he will hit you for no reason? Then why doesn't he hit me?"
Bai Yutang lifted his foot and kicked the horse to the ground.
Ma Sui let out an 'ouch', and he didn't realize what happened so quickly.Immediately, he looked at Bai Yutang in bewilderment, wondering why Bai Yutang wanted to beat him.
When talking to Bai Yutang, Ma Sui didn't have the same aggressiveness as he did to Tang, and his tone was aggrieved and submissive.
"I'll hit you for no reason?"
There was contempt in the cold eyes.
Ma Sui immediately had the illusion that he was as small as an ant and would be crushed to death by the God of Death at any time, and immediately trembled in fright.
"Why don't I hit others?" Bai Yutang asked again, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards Ma Sui.
Ma Sui was terrified, begged for mercy and kowtowed, admitting his mistake.
Su Yuan then told Ma Sui about the meat cutting case that Kaifeng Mansion had cracked a few days ago, "...the perpetrator chose strange women as his target."
Suddenly, Ma Sui asked Su Yuan, "Is there such a thing?"
"Where do you come from, the person who is beaten must be guilty? If you have some knowledge, you will not do such a thing." Su Yuan said to Tang again, "He hurt you so much, he should be taught, Today we will arrest him and put him in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion."
Ma Sui panicked and begged for mercy, urging Tang to speak up for him.
Tang hurriedly reached out and grabbed Su Yuan's sleeve, lowered his head and whispered, "It's me, I accidentally broke my body while walking... It has nothing to do with him, it wasn't him who hit me, please don't catch me." He, he is my husband after all!"
Bai Yutang seemed to have expected this, he sneered and left the courtyard.
In fact, Su Yuan also expected that such a situation might happen. As long as Tang insisted that he was injured and did not sue Ma Sui, they would have nothing to do.
Su Yuan also came out afterward, and returned to Kaifeng Mansion with Bai Yutang.
"You explained the flesh-cutting case to Ma Sui, and you hope that their husband and wife will reconcile?" Bai Yutang asked Su Yuan.
"If I don't explain, Tang Corporation will sue Ma Sui?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, if Tang was really bloody, he wouldn't behave like that.Even though she was beaten to a bloody mess, as long as she didn't get beaten to death, for the sake of her reputation and her future life, she probably wouldn't sue her husband.Most women are like this. When they get married, they regard their husband's family as their heaven, even if this 'heaven' is not as good as shit.
"Don't say that the world is not tolerant to women. Women's lives are hard. Even when the world is good, some women still feel the same way. They feel that if they are married, they will be with this man for the rest of their lives, no matter whether he is a beast or not. Sacrifice."
Bai Yutang looked at Su Yuan: "You can't."
"Of course I won't." Su Yuan raised her chin confidently.
Bai Yutang raised the corners of his lips, and was about to ask Su Yuan if he was so confident because of his good eyesight, when Su Yuan added another sentence.
"I am a beast."
