Snow Chihiro

===================

"That's the Willow Garden." No wonder the experts are willing to stand on the top of the treetop roof. It feels good to look down and see everything.Now Dongfang Li and Dongfang Liang are sitting on the top of the pagoda, looking at them not too far away.

"Anyone who can buy such a large manor in the capital is considered extremely rich."

Dongfang Liang said: "It belongs to the Shen family."

The Shen family of Huizhou merchants, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, is second to none even in the entire Ming Dynasty. Although the status of merchants is low, it is not true for the real rich. This Shen family is one of them. It shows the prosperity of its wealth and power.Dongfang Li had also heard about this Shen family to some extent, knowing that this family has a wide range of paths, black and white are often connected, and it is not surprising that it has some relationship with the outside of the Great Wall.

"What are they doing here?"

"I don't know the specifics. This group of people is leisurely, and they seem to be just wandering around. However, after they arrived, the Shen family made some moves, as if they were asking about someone."

Dongfang Li frowned upon hearing this. Daming was still quite wary of the Great Wall. It might not be a good thing for this pedestrian to come here. Although she didn't like the person on the throne very much, she still cherished this land. "Check carefully."

"Naturally." Dongfang Liang nodded, "Just because of their background, Xi'er will take it to heart. But do you really not want people from the Sun Moon God Sect to participate? You don't need to avoid suspicion?" People who are religious, on the contrary, tend to make people suspicious of Dongfang Li.

"The obvious routines in the teaching center will still follow, but I am not very easy to deploy here in the capital. The leader is also a member of the Jinyiwei, so he is not trustworthy." She said, standing up and looking at it from a distance. That manor, "Here, I'm staring at myself."

-----------------I am the dividing line-----------------

"The Central Plains is so nice." The girl held a clay figurine in one hand and a sugar figurine in the other, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes curved into crescent moons. "Much more interesting than grassland."

The middle-aged woman doted on her quite a bit, and smiled softly when she heard the words, "The capital is prosperous and magnificent, so it naturally has its charms, but after staying for a long time, you will know that the grassland is more intimate."

The girl was noncommittal, and ran away thinking, "Daddy said that Jiangnan is more gentle and delicate, with beautiful scenery. I don't know when I can go and see it." When she said Dad, her voice was a little low, her eyes were slightly red, lowered his head.

The middle-aged woman also looked gloomy, touched her head, and sighed: "When we fulfill your father's last wish, we will go back to Jiangnan to have a look." There are many memories in that place that I haven't been back to for more than ten years.

While the two were talking, a young man with a knife came in and saw the two of them bow respectfully, "Second Madam, Eldest Miss."

The second wife is not a concubine, but the wife of Zhao Ji, the second head of the Kuangyun Gang, and the eldest lady, Zhao Mengwan, is the only daughter of the two. Perhaps because she has never been married and has no children in her life, the head of the family loves her very much. This Miss Zhao is also very upbeat, she is good at a young age, she is well-behaved and clever, and the gang members love and respect her, and they all regard her as the successor of the Kuangyun Gang.A month ago, Zhao Ji, the second boss, died of old injuries. Before he died, he entrusted the mother and daughter to find a woman in her early twenties. Zhao Mengwan still remembered his expression at that time, with reminiscence and regret in his eyes.

"That's the only thing I did wrong in my life. Help me find her. If she's doing well, help her secretly. If she's doing badly, save her. It's just that the big boss can't know about it." He After explaining this matter, he died that night. After seven days of vigil, Zhao's mother and daughter found someone to lead them out, and found Hebei according to his memory.At that time, Zhao Ji sold the girl to a relatively well-to-do family. When they searched for it, they found that the family surnamed Wu had moved to the capital, so they went to the capital again.

Seeing the young man, the second lady guessed that the girl named Ah Xun had disappeared, so she quickly asked: "Zhao Bo, do you have any news?"

"Thanks to the help of the Shen family, we have found the family surnamed Wu. The son of that family is also married, but she is an ordinary woman in the capital, not a child bride."

The second lady was taken aback for a moment. Although this result was not expected, it was not impossible. Maybe she died of illness. In this era, the lives of ordinary people are never called fate.But after all, it was the person entrusted by her deceased husband, she pondered for a while and said, "I want to meet that family."

Zhao Bo nodded and said, "I'll go and make arrangements for Madam."

As soon as he went out, Zhao Mengwan approached the second lady, raised her head and asked curiously: "Mother, what is a child bride?" There is no such name on the grassland, but there is a similar existence, the second lady explained: "Most of them are women who were sold to ordinary families. They have determined their affiliation for a lifetime and have no status." She didn't want to say too much, and dirty her daughter's heart, but Zhao Mengwan also understood a little bit, and muttered in a low voice : "That sister named Ah Xun is really pitiful."

Ah Xun... Ah Xun... The people on the roof were stunned by this familiar name, and the enchanting face popped out of her eyes almost instantly, she frowned, she was not very clear about Xue Qianxun's origin However, it was only found out that this woman was sold to a brothel from the north by individual traffickers. Could it be that she was originally sold as a child bride-in-law of some family?Then this person's life...was really miserable.It's just that what is the purpose of these people looking for a girl from outside the Great Wall?Is that girl named Ah Xun really the person next to him?Are these people benevolent or malicious?Her frown became tighter and tighter, but she didn't realize that she was worried about someone.

She leaned on the roof for a while, and heard the two inside chatting gradually, Fang Fei jumped up and hid in the shade of the trees, staring at it from a distance, about an hour and a half later, Zhao Bo came from outside again, he entered The house said a few words, and the second wife, mother and daughter went out with him, followed by several guards. Dongfang Li moved a little farther, left a few marks, and walked a few streets before arriving at a place in the west of the city. in the alley.

This alley is not very big, there are a few courtyard houses in it, they are not some kind of wealthy family, those few people will guard around after they arrive, and they are very strict, but what kind of person is Dongfang Li?It rushed past like the wind and found a corner to hide.There are only six members in this family, and the old couple seem to be honest people. Their son is 27 or 30 years old, and they have two grandchildren. Although the family is not very wealthy, they live happily. As a reward for questioning, this is a lot of money for ordinary people, so several members of the family behaved very cautiously, and the two children were even sent to the neighbor's house.

"You guys don't need to be so nervous." The second lady said softly, "It's just that the girl has some relationship with her deceased husband, so we want to look for it."

Then the family members looked at each other, and said stammeringly: "To tell you the truth, Ma'am, there is indeed such a girl, who was born like a jade girl doll. After more than ten years, even a villain can't forget it. It's just that girl I didn't stay at my house for a few days, then...lost..."

"Lost it?" the second lady wondered.

"Exactly, the girl is also pitiful. When she first came here, she was covered in injuries. She didn't speak a word, but she was like a mute. We were never treated harshly, but we disappeared after a few days. Our husband and wife Discussed or was taken away by kidnappers, and reported to the police, but there was no news."

Click, there was a soft sound outside the house, Zhao Mengwan was the first to jump up, she rushed out the window, looked around but there was no one.The head of the house smiled awkwardly, "There may be mice in the house."

rat?maybe.

The second lady stood up with a sigh, if she was taken away by a kidnapper, it would be hard to find him.

"Thank you for your honesty."
