Chu Yunli appeared here because she also wanted to let the family know that the child was not left unattended.
People's hearts are fickle, and even if they love their children now, they may not do so in the future. With relatives who have such a child hiding behind the scenes, even if they no longer love their children, they will still be a little more scrupulous.
She went to the inner city to deliver medicine again. This owner took in many children, most of whom were left at the door because they were weak since childhood.
The master is not short of money, so he can afford it, and he can also hire a doctor. But not all doctors can prepare pills like Chu Yunli, so she deliberately gave some more.
In the opinion of the old man, the person who delivered the medicine must have had a sick child and it was inconvenient for him to raise it, so he sent it to his house. He must have been a kind-hearted person after giving so much medicine.
Thinking that there are people like him in the world, the master felt that he had done the right thing, and he adopted many children after that.
After finishing these things, she started busy with her business again.
Doing business requires a process to develop. She was not in a hurry. She sent people to keep an eye on the Pan family in the town, and also sent people everywhere to find the whereabouts of Gao Shan.
You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!
Two months later, we finally had a clue.
Chu Yunli was led into a dilapidated alley in the outer city. The person leading the way had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and looked like a mouse. He was not a good person at first glance. The further he walked in, he felt a little embarrassed: "He lives there.
Here, if the boss doesn't want to come in, I can find a way to bring him out."
"No, lead the way." Chu Yunli's embroidered shoes stepped on the muddy ground, and she didn't feel bad at all. She had no bad feelings towards the man who led the way. People should not be judged by their appearance. After getting along with each other these days, she has understood that this is a man who leads the way.
A man who wants to live a steady life but is hindered by his appearance.
Finally, we arrived at the bottom of the alley. There was a small courtyard at the end. There were all kinds of strange smells floating around. There were tons of clothes drying in each courtyard. It was obvious at a glance that there were many people living in each courtyard.
The man came forward and knocked on the door.
No one opened it for half a day.
Chu Yunli stepped forward and asked, "Are you sure the person is here?"
"Sure!" The man nodded hurriedly: "He lives in this small courtyard alone. A sister-in-law next door sends him some rice every ten days. Other than that, no one comes in or out. He himself never comes in or out.
If you don’t show up, most people won’t know there are people living here.”
After hearing this, Chu Yunli kicked the door open.
The man who was about to continue knocking on the door was startled.
Chu Yunli saw the mountains basking in the sun and took out a handful of money and gave it to the man: "It's none of your business. You can go."
When Gao Shan saw her, his expression changed slightly: "Why are you here?"
"I haven't seen you for a few months. You're living a good life!" Chu Yunli looked him up and down: "Have you healed all your injuries?"
Gao Shan was a little nervous. He looked behind her and found that no one was there. He hurried forward and closed the door.
Chu Yunli noticed that one of his legs was lame when he ran over, and it must have been broken by Pan DaDa.
The gate was closed, and there were only two people left in the yard.
Gao Shan looked slightly relaxed and said, "You have something to do with me?"
"It's nothing. I heard that you settled here, so I came here to take a look." Chu Yunli pondered for a moment: "There are some things I want to tell you. For example... Kou Ya married Pan DaDa!"
Hearing this, Gao Shan's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "I know this."
Chu Yunli nodded: "The two of you are living a good life... I'm very curious about what you and Pan Daring did back then. He was able to save so much money. No wonder he is willing to help you take care of your wife and children.
Already."
When Gao Shan heard the first two sentences, his face became wary. After hearing the next words, his chest heaved with anger.
"Shut up!"
As he spoke, he punched Chu Yunli in the face with his fist.
Chu Yunli turned sideways and said, "It's just that he was not very kind, so he took care of him on the bed..."
After hearing this, Gao Shan became even more angry and even moved his feet.
Chu Yunli was not a good-tempered person, so she kicked him hard and hit his injured leg.
Gao Shan lifted the script and only one foot fell to the ground. After being kicked like this, he fell directly to the ground. He had no time to cry out the pain, only to feel that his eyes were black, and there was already a pair of embroidered shoes with mud on his neck. He couldn't breathe after stepping on it.
difficulty.
He had fought with Pan DaDang back then. But he had never been defeated directly by someone like this. Even if Pan DaDang came in person, the two of them would still have to quarrel. It was hard to say who would win and who would lose.
.
He stared at the woman in front of him with a confused look on his face: "Where did you learn these...methods...ahem..."
He was stepped on so hard that he couldn't help coughing. But because his neck was stepped on, he couldn't cough out, and his face turned red soon after.
Chu Yunli had already taken out a dagger from her sleeve. Under the sunlight, the dagger looked particularly crazy. She played with it and said: "When you stabbed me with the knife, you wanted to kill three of me. I'm here to do this."
I still remember it now. I dreamed about it two days ago... By the way, where did you want to chop me?"
Gao Shan's expression changed drastically.
When he was tied up in the woodshed, Zhang Zhenniang had already gained the upper hand over Pan Dangda and could deal with him. But she only beat him, and her attack was not even as severe as Pan Dangda's.
Therefore, after meeting today, he only panicked for a moment. When he found out that this woman came alone, he was instantly relieved.
This woman's hatred for him doesn't seem that deep...otherwise, she would have killed him in the first place. Even if she really wants to deal with him, when a man and a woman are alone together, who knows who is not sure.
At this moment, Gao Shan only regretted that he didn't call anyone just now.
In fact, he was lucky when Zhang Zhenniang didn't call anyone at first... Thinking about it now, his intestines were filled with regret.
Seeing that he was speechless and almost suffocated to death, Chu Yunli loosened his legs, but only a little, just enough to be able to speak.
Gao Shan coughed a few times and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done anything to you at that time... cough cough cough... I was also very angry. I was so good to Pan DaDa that I even shouldered his guilt.
I just hope that he will help me take care of my wife and children... but in the end, he... might as well leave them alone... Can you understand me?"
"No!" Chu Yunli shook his head: "Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. If you hate him completely, you can kill him. Why do you come to me? If I were Liu Xiang'er, it would be fine. At least I have been husband and wife with him for so many years.
Seeing that you two have become brothers...but I have only been married to him for a year, and I have no idea what happened to him. You can kill anyone, so why do you want to kill me?"
When she said this, her feet became heavier.
It was hard to breathe in the mountains, and soon he felt extreme pain in his chest, and his vision went black. For a moment, he really thought he would be trampled to death.
The embroidered shoes on his chest were not big, but they were very powerful, making him unable to exert all his strength.
"I...I...can explain..."
The dagger in Chu Yunli's hand fell to the ground and was indeed stuck upright on the edge of Gao Shan's belly. He was startled. When he came back to his senses, he found that his forehead was already covered with sweat. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe it, but then
Having no strength, I had no choice but to give up.
"I don't want to hear your explanation. I just want to know what the hell you two did back then?"
The mountains fell silent.
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "Did you escape on the way he sent you to the city? Did you escape or did he let you go?"
Gao Shan pointed at his neck, meaning that he was being stepped on and couldn't speak out.
But Chu Yunli used his energy skillfully. Knowing that he was just pretending, he immediately sneered: "Stop playing tricks, just answer the questions!"
"He... I escaped..." Gao Shan closed his eyes and simply gave up everything: "I have a handle on him in my hand, he wants to kill people and silence him."
There are some things that cannot be said, but they are nothing compared to life.
Even if he ends up being beheaded, that will happen later.
Just live one day at a time.
Even if you can barely survive.
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "What's the reason? I got more than 400 taels of silver from Pan Dada. The Pan family's ancestors were not a wealthy family, so they definitely wouldn't have saved so much for him. If this money was left by the elders,
, I will definitely see it in the light, and Pan Daudao will not run away to become a gangster!"
Gao Shan closed his eyes.
The thing they did together back then was something he often thought about later in prison. To be honest, life in prison was not that easy. During this period, there were many times when he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to tell the adults everything.
But in the end they all endured it.
He valued this brotherhood very much, and knew that Pan DaDa would take good care of his wife and children... After suffering for ten years, he thought he would be able to live a good life with money after being released from prison, but he got this result!
"Speak quickly!" Chu Yunli took out another dagger and stabbed it hard into his arm.
Gao Shan didn't expect that she would really do it. The pain came and he noticed that his arms were wet. He didn't dare to delay any longer and said: "He and I often came to the city at that time. Yesterday we met an overturned carriage on the road.
The coachman died on the spot, and the gentleman inside...the gentleman inside also died. At that time, we found more than 500 taels of property..."
Chu Yunli narrowed his eyes: "Then why didn't your Excellency pursue Pan DaDa?"
"I said he didn't know about it." Gao Shan said this and felt like a fool: "At that time, I thought, instead of both of us going to jail together, it would be better to take him out. At least there should be someone to take care of him.
Home.”
Also, because the two of them had done no good things in the town, no one dared to mess with them when they were there. If they were gone, the people in the town would definitely bully their family.
Gao Shan cares about Kou Ya very much and also cares about his two children.
Chu Yunli looked unbelieving.
Gao Shan smiled bitterly: "I said at the time that I discovered the carriage myself and secretly paid for it. He was asleep at the time and didn't know anything. He said so himself."
He was willing to shoulder the responsibility, but Pan was bold and really didn't know it. So he took other people's money and refused to return it. And because that family was very wealthy and didn't care much about the money, he was only sentenced to ten years.
It sounds reasonable.
Chu Yunli did not doubt this. Her eyes fell on Gao Shan's face, not letting go of his expression at all: "When you found the carriage, were the people inside really dead?"
Gao Shan's face changed slightly.
Chu Yunli immediately understood that the person was not dead at all!
"Who killed it? Who laid hands? How was it killed?"
Gao Shan had been stepped on for so long, his chest was in great pain, and the blood on his shoulders was flowing more and more. In addition, there was nothing to hide about this matter. He immediately said: "It was Pan DaDang who made the move. At that time, the old man hit one on the head."
There was a big hole, and his stomach was bruised by the stone. He moved the stone again and hit the wound on the old man’s head hard... The old man died soon."
Chu Yunli frowned: "Does your Excellency know about this?"
"I didn't say it!" Gao Shan's face became more and more painful: "I wanted to take the money and leave, but he made a move. I didn't stop him... If he really said it, I would be considered an accomplice."
Human lives are involved, which is different from just taking money. That would last more than ten years.
"Please let me go. I told you everything... I really didn't hide anything at all." Gao Shan could also see that the woman in front of him hated Pan Boldly. He turned his eyes and immediately had an idea, saying: "
I will definitely make trouble for him, and as long as I live one day, I will not let him go."
Chu Yunli was thoughtful, and the strength on his feet unknowingly relaxed a little. He said: "I am a relatively upright person. I know that you killed people, and I want to let the truth of the matter come to light no matter what. I do
I want to cause trouble for Pan DaDa, take him to court, ruin his reputation, and spend the rest of his life in prison, or directly pay for that master's life... "
At this moment, Gao Shan turned over and sat up, pushed her away hard, covered the injury on his shoulder, and ran out.
Chu Yunli took two steps back, stabilized her figure, and did not pursue her, but said: "Stop, I will send you to the Yamen..."
The mountain quickly disappeared into the alley.
Chu Yunli pretended to chase for a while, got on the carriage and returned to her home. She arranged things in the city and went to town again.
It seems that Gao Shan has not come back.
Chu Yunli didn't care, but he heard about another thing.
Zhang Baohua, the eldest son of the Zhang family, came to town to gamble and lost dozens of taels in one fell swoop.
The deed signed pledged the family's land and house. Zhang's mother cried and begged for help, but they all said that the emergency would not help the poor. Even if the house was burned down or someone in the family was sick, others would definitely be willing to help. But there was a person in the family.
Gamblers are a bottomless pit, and they still owe so much. Even if everyone collects the money to pay back, when will the Zhang family be able to pay off these debts?
Everyone has to work hard to get their money. They are reluctant to eat, wear, or even ask the doctor to keep money when they are sick. How can they spend it like this?
Therefore, Zhang's mother begged many people, but in the end she only got three taels. This was a lot of money for the villagers, but it was not even a fraction of the debt owed to Zhang Baohua.
Zhang's mother couldn't find the loan, so she decided to turn to her daughter again. But the man never came back, and they were so anxious that she wished she could go directly to the city to find him.
At this time, when people came back, she couldn't wait to get to the town.
Chu Yunli was surprised to see her.
It has only been a few months since I last saw Zhang's mother. She has become much older, thinner, and her hair has turned a lot whiter. In the past, she looked like an elder, speaking with sincerity and sincerity. But today is different. Her posture is particularly low, and her tone of voice is also full of emotion.
It means to beg.
"Zhenniang, you have to save your brother, otherwise our whole family will be ruined."
Chu Yunli nodded: "I have already heard about this. Where is his own family?" She said plausibly: "He has caused such a big trouble and owed so many debts. If he wants my help, he should come forward himself.
Come and give me an explanation?"
Mother Zhang was speechless.
However, I felt happy immediately. My daughter did not refuse, and was vaguely willing to help pay off the debt. This was a good thing.
What the daughter wants is just for her brother to come and bow her head... As long as you pay off those debts and let the Zhang family regain its previous peace, let alone bow your head, you can even kowtow to her!
"I'll go find him."
Zhang Baohua arrived less than half an hour later. The weather was hot recently. He didn't rest for a breath on the way here. His forehead was covered with sweat and his clothes were wet.
"Sister."
Chu Yunli looked him up and down: "You are really capable. You dare to owe so much money even though your family has no money. When you pressed the IOU, didn't you think that you couldn't afford it?"
Zhang Baohua has heard too many words like this in recent days. Whenever he retorts, he will be blamed in various ways. He has had enough. No one dares to say anything about this in the past two days, and he will get angry if he does.
Looking at the people in front of me, the eldest sister is someone who can pay off all her debts with just a raise of her hand.
He smiled bitterly: "At that time, I was so excited that I thought I could make it back. I also want my family to live a good life... If I become rich, you and my second sister will be able to rely on me. No matter what kind of family I marry into, my husband's family will
I don’t even dare to bully you!”
It sounds nice to say.
But Chu Yunli didn't believe a word of it.
If Zhang Baohua really valued the relationship between siblings so much, if he had said a few words about the marriage of the two sisters, Zhang Zhenniang would not have married a widower who could be her father, and Zhang Zhuniang would not have been discouraged enough to marry a widower.
Such a poor family.
Liu Laosi is quite honest and treats her well... But there are many honest people in the world, and he is not the only man who is willing to treat Zhang Zhuniang well. If Zhang Zhuniang didn't have such a father, mother and brother, she could have more
choose.
"Baohua, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang Baohua looked slightly relaxed.
Zhang's mother knew that her son had a good reputation, so she was afraid that he would be embarrassed to open his mouth, so she spoke first: "Just pay him back the more than forty taels he owes."
When she finished speaking, she felt that her tone was too hasty and a little unpleasant. In addition, her daughter's expression was a bit off, so she said awkwardly: "Zhenniang, I beg you this time. After this incident, all the previous grudges
, let’s not take it to heart anymore. You don’t have your husband’s family now, and it’s easy for people to gossip if you live alone. In this way, you move back home..."
The two sisters used to work a lot when they were at home, and as a result, they did more than half of the work at home. After Zhang's mother said this, fearing that her daughter in front of her would misunderstand, she hurriedly added: "I didn't want you to do it."
Live, you don’t have to do anything after you go home this time, I’ll let your two younger siblings serve you, and I can serve you.”
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "What if I don't pay it back?"
The expressions of both mother and son changed.
Zhang Baohua blurted out: "Are you trying to sneak away from us?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he regretted them.
What made people even more desperate was that the eldest sister in front of him nodded.
Chu Yunli nodded: "I just want to see you apologize in front of me. Zhu Niang and I worked for the family before, but we actually did it for you two brothers. You should have said thank you to me. Of course,
We, brother and sister, have grown up together, and I can see that
Come on, you are a ruthless person and I don’t want your gratitude. As soon as I came back, I heard that you owed a lot of debt... People like you are not honest to begin with. You often think about getting rich overnight, and you often think about getting rich overnight.
If you take advantage of others, you deserve to be chased away like a dog."
Zhang Baohua's face was particularly ugly.
"Zhang Zhenniang, to tell you the truth, I am in this situation because of you."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "Look, if something goes wrong, just blame others. I've been in the city for so long and rarely come back. You went to bet yourself and lost, but you can still blame me. It doesn't make sense at all.
...For a person like you, if I still have expectations for you, then I am really the stupidest person in the world. Do you think I am that stupid?"
While she was saying these words, Zhang Baohua tried to speak several times, but his mother glared back.
Mother Zhang forced a smile: "Zhen Niang, don't say that. This is because Baohua has really changed. He has sworn to me that he will never gamble again. If he gambles again, he will be cut off."
hand."
Chu Yunli shook his head: "I don't believe it."
Zhang Baohua couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "It's because of you that I owed so much debt. I never gambled before, but recently they often come to me. I won a lot at first... Later I thought
I will keep winning, as soon as I take the field that day
Just lose, I often feel that I will win the next one... That's why I boldly bet on my family's house and land... Later I lost... If you want to bet, just admit defeat, there is nothing to say... But
When they were collecting debts, they said I was the reason why I ended up in this situation."
He glared at Chu Yunli fiercely: "I'm just an honest farmer from the countryside, who can I mess with? The one who likes to gamble is Pan Budao. He must know those gangsters. These are all traps he set up, just for
I'll take revenge on you. I was dragged down by you."
Chu Yunli was surprised: "You are quite smart, you can even think of these."
"This is the truth." Zhang Baohua emphasized: "What he wants is to cause trouble for you, and what he wants is to make you bleed. I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to have a sister like you."
Chu Yunli sneered: "I'll tell you what I said. It's only because of bad luck that I have a brother like you... and a mother like you!"
