The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 212

Huang Zhi couldn't let it go. How could it not be a pity to see such a pure girl return to the place of brothels?

He shamelessly asked Uncle Weng and others who were there that night. Many of them were drunk and woke up to hear the story, "Which one is Sanlang talking about?"

"The girl who returned to Villa with my two brothers."

"Who is that?"

The people who were called over shook their heads and said, "They were called from several buildings, playing music and singing, about 10 to 20 people. I wonder which one the Third Young Master is talking about?"

Huang Zhi sighed, "The one in the moon-white dress—"

"Oh, Sanlang, there were probably five or six girls in white dresses that night. Never mind, never mind. Why are you asking? Are you still thinking about it?"

"no--"

"Tsk... that prostitute was just a one-night stand, Sanlang, don't take it to heart."

Others also advised, "It is her blessing to be loved by you, but we have different ideals and cannot work together. She should go her way and you should go your way."

Huang Zhi was not young, twenty-four, and had always kept himself clean. In addition, his father was an old scholar, so he was very strict with him and his brothers.

Because they were not allowed to touch women before they reached adulthood, the three brothers developed different personalities.

After his wife passed away, the eldest brother Huangzhou was unwilling to marry a proper wife. He had only one son, and he gave him to his mother to raise. There were only two concubines in the courtyard, who had never given birth to children. They only liked prostitutes in brothels and would stay there for more than 20 days a month. Although the old man of the Huang family did not hold a high position, the Huang family was very rich, otherwise they would not be able to afford Huangzhou's extravagant life.

The second brother, Huang Xu, is average, which is okay.

But when it came to the third brother, Huang Zhi, he didn't like women at all. He wanted to see many rich ladies, but he rejected them one by one.

The clan members came to Beijing in a group and almost swept the whole street of brothels. Huang Xu and Huang Zhi entertained them, and they were inevitably stuffed with prostitutes from brothels by their cousins ​​from their hometown. Huang Zhi thought that she was cold and quiet from beginning to end, with sad eyes. He originally thought that it was just a means for the girls in the brothel to attract customers, but now it seems that -

Regretful.

If my cousin hadn't been injured, he would have definitely redeemed her. Keeping her by his side would be better than begging in that building.

After two days of searching, there was no result.

He even disguised himself and searched along the riverside red-light district for a long time, but to no avail.

Finally, feeling so depressed, I had to go to Longen Academy, hoping to study hard and forget that familiar face as soon as possible.

Little did they know that Song Guanzhou had reached despair in his search for the person.

Five days had passed since Qin Tong and Xiao Hu sent the letter that night, and there seemed to be no news from Xu Lingqiao. Qin Qingdong and Xu Lingbai spent the whole day hanging out in brothels, nightclubs, and secret rooms, but to no avail.

Chun Ge'er followed him running around, in wind and rain, and became thin and dark from the tan.

"Second Master, why don't you tell Madam Tong Shao, I'm afraid you won't be able to find her."

Qin Qingdong's face was gloomy and fierce, "...If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his body."

Pei An also went to Jingzhao Yin every two days. On the fifth day, Lord He invited him in and told him the truth, "Qin Jia Erlang asked several times, but due to the unclear case, I could only keep silent. Seeing that Lord Pei was also anxious, I simply said a few words."

"Thank you, Master He."

"After the coroner examined the female corpse, it was found that the girl was beaten to death. The marks on her neck must have been put on after death, in an attempt to make it look like suicide. As for who the murderer was, Gu Sanniang died on the first night she came in, before she was tortured. She swallowed the gold and hit her head against the pillar."

what?

Pei An was horrified, "Did Gu Sanniang die just like that?"

"Because of her death, I have interrogated the servants in the building. Now there are different stories. Some people simply put the blame on Sanniang, saying that she killed the daughter of Erlang's mentor, chopped her into pieces and threw her into the moat. Others say that the woman was spotted by a foreign businessman that night and was redeemed overnight..."

The case is stuck here, with no progress and no conclusion.

"This... doesn't that mean that the little apprentice sister has no way out?"

Pei An thought of Song Guanzhou. Everyone had been very tired from searching for someone recently, and the weight that Song Guanzhou had gained with great difficulty had been lost again.

Lord He sighed, "How many people who fall into such a filthy place can have a good ending? Now I have told Lord Pei all this, and I also ask Lord Pei to persuade Erlang. The emperor will have a birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, so he should not worry about it. He offended the emperor at the banquet."

Hearing this, Pei An felt so depressed that he could only stand up, bow and thank him. "Don't worry, my lord. Pei Si will definitely comfort Erlang. Thank you very much, my lord."

After leaving Jingzhao Yin, Pei An walked with heavy steps.

Because of this mess, he was too weak to mount the horse, so he just pulled the reins and led the horse away slowly. He didn't know how long he had walked, but it was getting dark, and the rare sunset glow appeared in the west.

He stopped and sighed, unable to imagine the sadness Song Guanzhou would feel after knowing the truth.

"Ji Zhang, Ji Zhang..."

Hearing the sound of carriage wheels from behind, he stopped and slowly turned around, only to see Jin Fuyun lifting the carriage curtain, leaning half of her body out, looking at him anxiously.

"You're still not well?"

She asked Yu Cheng to drive the carriage and chased for dozens of feet. She called out to him many times, but Pei An did not turn back.

He became more and more anxious, so he asked Yu Cheng to ride his horse to chase after him.

Pei An shook his head slightly, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired from the busy work today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Fuyun took Suo Hong's hand and got out of the carriage. She walked lightly to Pei An and said, "You look pale. I'm afraid you are not feeling well. It's too windy to ride a horse. Why don't you get in the carriage? I'll let Yu Cheng take you back home."

"No, where are you going?"

Jin Fuyun lowered her head slightly. Although she was taller and thinner than the average woman, she was still petite in front of Pei An. Pei An only needed to lower his eyes slightly to see her fair and slender neck.

"Aunt Huang asked me to go to see the flowers and drink wine today. When I came back, I saw you at the intersection of the market street."

Pei An was wearing his official uniform and looked tall and graceful. Although he was far away, Jin Fuyun could recognize him at a glance even if he was hidden in a crowd.

"It's okay. It's getting late. Go back quickly."

Because of his depressed mood, he was no longer as calm as before. Jin Fuyun was already very familiar with this look. She sighed, "...But is the official business not going well?"

Pei An didn't want to say more.

Looking at Yu Cheng, he urged, "Take your eldest daughter back quickly. There are many outsiders coming to the city recently. Don't stay outside for too long."

Jin Fuyun looked a little aggrieved, "Ji Zhang——"

Why don't you like her?

Pei An turned around and led his horse away. Jin Fuyun could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart and chased after him, "Ji Zhang, you and I are... becoming more and more alienated now? Could it be that it's because of Song's unreasonable nagging?"

"She bumped into you that day because she was reckless and ignorant. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Do not--"

Jin Fuyun's eyes were filled with tears and her face was sad. "Ji Zhang, why are you so strange to others?"
