It’s a green tree-lined day in April and a half, and the streets and markets in Beijing are as good as ever.
The flower girl was carrying a basket of plump white gardenias and selling them in a soft voice. You could buy three of them for a penny.
Two idle men were leaning against the wall. They reached into their clothes and scratched their itch. Their ribs were visible.
The girl selling flowers passed by them, her pace obviously quickening.
Because these two people were staring at her waist closely, with weird smiles on their faces.
It was only when the girl turned into a side alley that the two of them looked away and yawned indifferently.
"It's a pity that my butt is not big enough to give birth to a son." The one with the mustache smacked his lips and said, "The flesh is pretty fair."
"You are thinking in the long term. It's a pity that you don't have three copper coins, and you still care about whether the family can have a son." Another scarred head said.
"How about that? Maybe one day I will become rich," the mustached man said with a chuckle. "People say that there is gold everywhere in the capital. It depends on whether you can pick it up or not."
"Do you believe this?! It's not like you don't know how many poor people there are in the capital." Scared Head said and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the ground.
"It's far away, but have you seen the reward list posted on the wall over there? The daughter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion has disappeared. Anyone who can find it will be rewarded 10,000 taels of gold. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded 5,000 taels of gold.
Two!" The small eyes with mustaches glowed greedily, like a mouse staring at a piece of fresh meat, "You said that if our buddies got it, wouldn't they be settled in this life?"
"I said you were just dreaming. It's so easy to find. Even the government was alerted. The Cen family, the Chen family, the Huo family and the Zheng family. Thousands of people were looking for it inside and outside, but they couldn't even find a single hair.
See you." Scared Head shouted at the top of his lungs, "Those like you and me who have burned incense for beheadings in our previous lives, how can we be so wealthy? If we can eat two meager meals a day and find a shabby temple to sleep in, we are considered lucky.
Yes. If you want to get rich, you can only do it in a dream."
The mustache laughed, then reached into his clothes to scratch his belly. He bared his yellow teeth and said, "What's wrong with dreaming? But this young lady from the Cen family is really pretty, such a beauty."
Don't talk about sleeping with me, just let me have a good look at you, it's worth dying."
"It's a disaster for this woman to be born too beautiful. If she had been uglier, I'm afraid something like this wouldn't happen." Scared Tou said with a well-informed look, "Although Zuo Zhengqing has done a lot,
It's evil, but after all, there is still some virtue. At the beginning, he said that Miss Cen had a bad destiny. How does it look now? If someone kidnapped someone on the big day, will there be any good children? In the worst case, she will lose her life, in the worst case, she will die.
Lost innocence.
Anyone with a brain can figure this out. If you don’t believe it, even if the Cen family finds her, they won’t let her live. After all, reputation is important, and those wealthy families value reputation and face the most.”
In fact, there are not a few people in the capital who think so.
It has been more than ten days since Cen Yun first arrived and he has been missing for more than ten days. So far, no one is alive or dead, and no body is seen.
If someone with a personality like hers falls into the wrong hands, her innocence is destined to be lost. The only difference is whether she is silenced in the end.
But in the final analysis, even if others don't kill her, she herself may not have the dignity to live in this world.
So even though these families are still working hard to find someone, many people believe that Cen Yunchu has become a lonely ghost.
In the Ke family's old house, Ke Wangchen stood in front of the window with a gloomy face.
His room is extra spacious because the partitions between the inside and outside are opened.
The house is full of bells, which make a rattling sound when the wind blows.
Under each bell is a piece of paper with a person's name written on it.
Ke Wangchen held a crumpled piece of paper in his hand, with the word Zhu Qi written on it.
Zhu Qi was a clerk at Soshi Dental Shop, the person from the Buddha Bathing Association whom he went to find with the deposit.
When Chen Sijing and others went to find Zhu Qi, he had already left the rented place.
The landlord said that he should have gone back to his hometown and left in a hurry.
Everyone rushed to look for him and found Zhu Qi's hometown, but could not find him.
Ke Wangchen found out that Zhu Qi had another lover who lived in the suburbs of Beijing. He thought that Zhu Qi might be hiding and might not really go back to his hometown.
He speculated that Zhu Qi was also being taken advantage of, because if he had known that something like this would happen, he would have left after hiring someone, and would not have hurried away afterward.
But if you want to investigate further, Zhu Qi is a key figure, and you must find out who is behind it through him.
He found out where Zhu Qi's sweetheart, Jiuniang, lived, and found out that the two of them had fled back to their sweetheart's natal home.
Ke Wangchen continued to chase, but unexpectedly, Men Jiuniang deceived Zhu Qi out, and actually killed Zhu Qi with his other sweetheart.
In order to make money, Zhu Qi had a lot of money in his hands. He originally wanted to take Men Jiuniang away and fly away as husband and wife.
Therefore, when he persuaded her to leave with him, he showed her all his savings.
Little did he know that this girl had hooked up with Lu He, who was younger than him, and they were having a passionate fight.
She saw Zhu Qi being sneaky and guessed that he was probably in trouble and wanted to escape.
So he made an agreement with Lu Huan to pretend to be a boatman.
Zhu Qi did not dare to come out during the day, so she could only leave by boat with Men Jiuniang when it was dark.
When they reached a secluded reed swamp, Lu He knocked Zhu Qi unconscious and threw him into the river. Then he and Men Jiuniang rolled up the money and returned to Men Jiuniang's natal home.
The two of them were naturally caught and sent to the Yamen, but Zhu Qi's clue was cut off.
"Master, Madam, please come over." A maid came over and asked for instructions in a low voice outside the door.
Ke Wangchen replied, "I know." He balled up the paper and threw it aside.
Dai Mingzhi only found out about his daughter's disappearance on the third day. She fainted after hearing this. Ke Wangchen saved her for a long time before she could breathe again.
Now she is bedridden, worried about her daughter every day, and is extremely haggard.
"Mom, how do you feel?" Ke Wangchen walked to his mother and asked carefully.
"It doesn't matter to me," Dai Mingzhi shook his head gently, "Is there still no news about your sister?"
Ke Wangchen pursed his lips and shook his head. He felt useless.
"It's a good thing that there is no news." Dai Mingzhi knew his son's character and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't go out alone and bring a few reliable people with you, otherwise I will only worry more."
My daughter's whereabouts are unknown, and we can't let anything happen to our son again.
"I understand, mother, don't worry." Ke Wangchen was very filial.
"Your father is going to Beijing soon, so you should discuss everything with him and don't make the decision without permission, you know?"
"I understand, mother. I will go to the Chen family again and ask Mr. Chen Liu if he has made any progress there."
"It's okay to go and ask. By the way, I can comfort and comfort Siwen. This child is so pitiful."
