Behind the shopkeeper was a silk merchant. After the silk merchant left the study, Yi Qiu entered.
"Madam," Yi Qiu said angrily, "that dead girl was really Hongwen. I saw the body."
Zhao Ning looked calm, put the paper he had just written on aside to dry, and said calmly: "How is the body?"
"My lower body is covered in blood. It's extremely miserable. It's really abominable, that black-hearted doctor!"
"Abortion is not a child's play," Zhao Ning said calmly, "One dares to prescribe, and the other dares to drink."
"In addition to the blood, there are many wounds on Hongwen's body," Yiqiu lowered her eyes and said sadly, "She may have suffered a lot during her lifetime, and the backs of her hands are covered with herpes."
"Are you pitying her? Don't forget that it was she who gave you the medicine in the first place. You coughed up blood and were on the verge of death. She was not soft-hearted."
"Madam, I understand, I just..." Yiqiu did not continue.
"If you are really unhappy, send someone to the Yamen to report the case and ask people from the Yamen to investigate and find out who abducted Hongwen from the backyard of Cao Mansion to Sanfu Pavilion."
Yiqiu nodded, but stopped talking.
"What else do you want to say?" Zhao Ning looked at her.
After a while, Yi Qiu said: "That's right, more and more people are coming to Hengxiang recently. I heard that those girls are no longer 'useful'. The crimson-browed girl in Yanchun Tower is acting more and more frequently. I don't know why.
Won't……"
"She is a smart person. She knows what should be touched and what should not be touched. She doesn't dare to touch anyone who comes out of Ning'an Building."
"But madam," Yiqiu's voice became softer, "all these kinds of things should not be touched..."
Zhao Ning paused, his eyebrows deepening.
Yiqiu sighed softly: "It's Yiqiu who talks too much."
"take a break."
"My slave, please leave." Yiqiu Fuli.
But when she was approaching the door, she seemed to remember something again, and turned around and said, "By the way, madam, I just met a group of people downstairs, and the leading man has a scar on his face."
"It's shopkeeper Yu from Shiwu County, Ningzhou."
"The scar looks like it was painted on. There is a flower in one place."
Zhao Ning's serious and tense face finally relaxed a little, and his voice became interested: "I know, so I invited him to a banquet at Yujing Restaurant in Youshi, and Mrs. Qu will also go."
Yiqiu smiled: "Since the lady has noticed it, it seems that Yiqiu doesn't need to worry."
"Go and rest." Zhao Ning also smiled.
·
Dusk is gradually gathering in the sky, the fragrance is lingering after night falls, and the city is filled with lights like clouds.
Shopkeeper Yu took only two of his men to Yujing Restaurant.
Before coming here, my subordinates made inquiries and found out that there is indeed a Chamber of Commerce dinner party at Yujing Restaurant tonight, and there are more than one.
As for which of the guests at the banquet is in the beech wood business, it is difficult to inquire further.
Next to it is a large artificially dug lake. Six hundred years ago, the Dianqing River in the north of Hengxiang was often flooded, so there are many such large lakes and rivers that divert water from the river in the city.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the lake breeze was getting colder and colder. Shopkeeper Yu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the several painted boats in the middle of the lake in the distance.
One of his subordinates suddenly whispered: "My boss."
The shopkeeper Yu felt something and turned his head to look to the right.
I thought it was Zhao Ning who came, but I saw a delicate and charming beauty.
Shopkeeper Yu wanted to look away, but found that the other person was looking at him. Judging from the other person's steps and posture, he was the target.
Many passers-by around him also looked at him.
After getting closer, the facial features of the beauty become clear, her eyes are bright and her teeth are crystal clear, her blue silk is like silk, and her clothes are like the wind. Her temperament has the charm of the wind and dust, shining brightly, but also like the mountains and flowing water, independent from the world.
.
Shopkeeper Yu is well-informed and this woman's appearance should be among the top ten that he has seen in his life.
Gu Ju
Jiangmei stopped in front of him, looked at him carefully, and smiled sweetly: "This... Young Master?"
"Girl, do you think I look like a young master?" Shopkeeper Yu asked with great interest.
Jiangmei's voice was gentle: "It doesn't sound like Master, but I have to have a title."
"My surname is Yu. I am in the timber business. Girls, you can call me shopkeeper Yu."
"I've met the shopkeeper Yu." Jiangmei Fuli said.
"Girl, why are you looking for me?"
Jiangmei smiled softly: "I saw the figure of shopkeeper Yu from a distance, but I felt that he was tall and outstanding, so he couldn't help but come over and disturb shopkeeper Yu."
Shopkeeper Yu raised his thick eyebrows: "Young girl is really discerning. She has such an eye for appreciation at such a young age. It's amazing."
Her crimson eyebrows blinked her bright, watery eyes, and her smile deepened: "Shopkeeper Yu has an easy-going personality, which is so interesting."
"The girl also has a good temperament, unlike those coquettish and pretentious purdah ladies. When they see that I have extraordinary looks, they don't dare to come forward and be honest."
"Pfft!" Her crimson eyebrows covered her lips and chuckled.
"Do you eat dog meat?" Shopkeeper Yu suddenly changed the topic.
"Hmm...ah?"
"The dog meat is fragrant. When boiled in a pot, it is full of color, fragrance and flavor. You will be intoxicated after smelling it." Shopkeeper Yu closed his eyes and opened them again. A pair of deep and beautiful eyes looked at Jiang Mei, "Would you like to eat it?"
of?"
Her crimson eyebrows looked at him with a smile, and she thought quickly in her heart, and said sweetly: "Eat some occasionally."
"Haha," Shopkeeper Yu suddenly darkened his face, "I have raised dogs since I was a child and have been brothers with them. You eat dog meat? Haha."
Jiangmei was suddenly dumbfounded, a rare surprise.
"Girl is not good enough for me, please stay away from me." After saying that, shopkeeper Yu turned around and left.
The two men looked at the beauty and followed their master.
Jiangmei looked at their figures with a pair of almond-shaped eyes.
I had thought a lot about what kind of character this man would be, but I never expected him to be like this.
What is dog meat or not? It’s just the head.
If she says she wants to eat or not, the other person will definitely tell her the same thing, telling her to stay away from him.
But not to mention reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, even with her appearance and figure, no man has ever rejected her in such a rude way when they met for the first time and still talked kindly.
Or, this person likes someone other than a woman?
"Boss, this girl is so beautiful." One of shopkeeper Yu's subordinates said as he walked.
"There are beautiful women everywhere, what's so rare about them."
"That's it," another subordinate said, "our boss, please tell me, what kind of woman can't you get?"
"Dede, get it," shopkeeper Yu shouted, "I can't stand listening to it myself. If I really had such magical powers, Goudan would already have a mother."
"Pfft!" The two men laughed.
"Hey," Shopkeeper Yu had a sudden thought and stopped and said, "What do you think the world will think if I marry that Zhao Ning?"
The two men choked, then laughed.
"My boss, how dare you think!"
"There's nothing in this world that our boss doesn't dare to think about!"
"But boss, what are you trying to do? Just to keep things from surprising and to catch the world off guard, so that you can talk about it after dinner?"
"Yes, it's not like we don't have Madam Zhao's wealth."
"What are you trying to do?" Shopkeeper Yu's eyes darkened, "Yeah, except for attracting the attention of the world, there seems to be no use for it. It's not worth it, let's go."
