Mu Yushu jumped up excitedly, "When are you going?"

"Are you moving to the capital?"

Zhao Yicha shook his head, "I don't know, I will go in a few days."

"We have important things to do. My father and third uncle have to take exams."

Mu Yushu: "Is it Chunwei? My fifth cousin is going too."

"Would you like to live in my house? My house is really big!"

Zhao Yicha smiled and said, "No, I don't want to see you get beaten."

Mu Yushu covered his buttocks, "What should I do?"

"My mother will definitely spank me."

"You guys go back with me."

Lu Ming laughed and said, "Now I know I'm afraid."

"Your family must be anxious."

Mu Yushu was depressed for a while, but quickly regained his energy.

"Let's talk about it after we get back. Where should we go to play tomorrow?"

"I haven't been to the village yet."

Zhao Yicha and Lu Ming counted the interesting places in the village to the excited Mu Yushu.

The three little girls chatted happily. After talking about Mu Yushu at the table, everyone looked at Chen Jingzhi again.

"Jingzhi, did the group of people who set the fire say anything?"

Chen Jingzhi put down his chopsticks and recounted the results of today's interrogation.

"Those three people are from Yangzhou and are helpers accompanying the caravan. All three of them are famous for their excellent water skills."

"I arrived at our dock three days ago. When I went out drinking two nights ago, I met two masked men in white."

"Those two people not only knew their names and place of origin, but also told them the names of their parents, wives and children."

"Threatening the three of them to do something, specifying arson and burning the yard of Xu San's house, and also specified the time, and started at midnight last night."

"The way to escape is also designated by them, watching the fire

After the fire started, they jumped into the river and swam away. Their caravan was leaving the dock today, and they happened to be leaving. "

"The masked man promised to give each of them one hundred taels. He paid a deposit of twenty taels first. After the event is completed, he will give the remaining eighty taels."

"There are two masked people, one male and one female. Their accents sound like they are from Yangzhou."

"The man is approximately seven feet tall and has a thin build."

"The woman is wearing a curtain hat, and the white gauze covers her whole body."

After Boss Zhao listened carefully, he asked, "How can I give the remaining eighty taels?"

Chen Jingzhi: "After the incident is completed, when they return to the dock, the banknote will be under the willow tree nearest to the docking point of their merchant ship."

"I sent someone to look for it, and there was a big stone under the tree. There were no signs of it being moved, and there were no banknotes."

"I'm still sending people to investigate those two people. They checked into a restaurant near the pier three days ago."

"The waiter delivers the meals to the room and only leaves the room after dark."

"I paid for four days' stay. I went out at about [-]:[-] last night and didn't come back."

"All the caravans leaving the city today have been checked, and no one with the same characteristics has been seen."

"One caravan said that they had never seen them before. They came from Yangzhou with them five days ago. They never had contact with other people on the ship and left as soon as they arrived at the dock."

"They claimed to be brother and sister, but people on the boat said they didn't look like it. The woman seemed to be the master, and the man should be the follower."

If those who are on the road don't want to travel alone or have a long journey, most of them will choose to go with an experienced caravan. Of course, they have to pay extra compensation.

"Yangzhou, woman." Xu Sanniang bit her lower lip, thinking about possible candidates.

"Are there any other characteristics?"

Chen Jingzhi added: "From the descriptions of the three people, they are petite and their voices are very clear and sweet, like an oriole singing."

"I saw her hands when I gave her money. They were very white and tender."

"Sound, sound." Xu Sanniang kept repeating.

"My sixth sister has a nice voice and was sold to sing Goulan songs."

"And my uncle's third daughter, Xu Bailing, has a voice like a lark and sings very nice songs."

"Do they have any grudge against you?" Chen Jingzhi asked.

Xu Sanniang immediately shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Probably, he hates me."

"When the sixth sister was sold to Goulan, she came to me crying, pulled the hem of my skirt, and asked me to save her."

"But there is nothing I can do. I have only been in the embroidery house for a year. They only provided me with food and clothing, and not a penny of money. I can only watch the sixth sister being kidnapped by my parents."

"Sixth sister will hate me forever if I don't save her."

"In addition to Xu Bailing's beautiful voice, his embroidery skills are also very good."

"She and I are the same age. When my parents were going to sell me, her parents were going to sell her too."

"The embroidery room only accepts one person. I can embroider better than her, so the shopkeeper accepted me and rejected her."

"She was bought by her parents to sell and sing, and later became a famous thin horse. I heard that she was bought back by a wealthy businessman."

"As for Jiao Xiao, I haven't seen her for so many years, so I can't confirm it."

"Sixth sister is young, she should be seventeen this year."

"Xu Bailinghe and I are the same age, but when we were sold, she didn't grow taller and only reached my shoulders."

Xu Sanniang said it all, but she couldn't tell who the two of them were, let alone something she didn't expect.

.

Zhao Laoer mentioned something at this time, "When I arrived in Yangzhou, Boss Tao approached several of the most famous local embroidery houses to discuss cooperation, including the embroidery house where Sanniang worked before."

"The shopkeeper was suppressed for a while because he let Sanniang leave, and he almost closed down."

"Later, the shopkeeper made good friends with the squire who retired and returned to his hometown, and the shop finally took a breather and came back to life."

"Sanniang's reputation for her craftsmanship is really good. The few pieces of embroidery she left behind are still the shop's signature pieces. Because Sanniang left, they were charged sky-high prices."

"Sanniang." Zhao Laoer looked at Xu Sanniang and said with a smile: "The story of how you refused to give in to power and was forced to elope has been published locally. There are also storytellers in the teahouse."

"I went to listen to it a few times. I will explain it to you tomorrow and you can see if they are making it up."

Xu Sanniang nodded blankly, but she didn't expect that her matter had not been forgotten yet.

Wu Yang asked: "Third aunt, what is the name of your sixth sister, and where does she work?"

Xu Sanniang came to her senses and said, "My name is Xu Liuliu, and he was sold to Zuitingxuan."

"My sixth sister is beautiful. Zuitingxuan is our most expensive house. It costs ten taels of silver to enter to listen to a little song."

Wu Yang nodded and said he understood, "Both of them will send people to check first. It's a long way to Yangzhou. Third Aunt will wait a little longer."

Xu Sanniang smiled softly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

After finishing talking about Xu Sanniang, Zhao Laoer picked up his rice bowl again. He was not full yet. If he didn't eat, the food would be cold.

Guang stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, but before he could swallow it, Zhao Laosan touched his arm.

"Second brother, take the time to rest. We will go to the capital in a few days."

Zhao Lao Er diandian

Head, pour the remaining vegetables into your bowl.

"Yeah, I know, you want to send Mu Yatou off, right?"

"You don't want to eat, right? Then I'll eat them all!"

"Not entirely." Zhao Laosan rubbed his hands, "Our whole family is going to find Yue Bai's biological parents."

"Oh, okay." Zhao Laoer worked hard and didn't listen very seriously, so he responded perfunctorily.

"Ah?" After two mouthfuls of rice, Zhao Laoer finally realized, "Who are your biological parents?"

"Don't the third brother and sister have parents?"
