Chapter 94 I'm afraid when I think about it

Jia Silian endured the pain in her body and got up,
"Nothing, I... I'll go and see..."

As she spoke, she held up her skirt and followed after her, but it was already too late when she chased after her. She ran across a street at the end, only to see a carriage driving far away, people on the street were discussing, Jia Silian Ask the peddler at the roadside stall,

"What's going on here?"

The peddler said hello,
"Hey... I heard that it was a rich family who caught the fugitive slaves. They said that the woman was the cook of their house. Because she was found stealing money from the master's house when she was shopping, she ran out secretly and was captured by the family's guard. The court has arrested and returned..."

"Cook maid?"

Jia Silian knew that this must be nonsense, Mrs. Liu is obviously the steward of the ice shop, when did she become a cook?

Thinking of Mrs. Liu asking me to report to the official, and bringing up the matter of the ice cellar, I couldn't help but feel dark.
"Is it because of the dead bodies in the ice cellar?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked,
"Do you know which family came out to arrest people?"

The peddler shook his head,

"There are so many rich and noble families in this capital, who knows which one they belong to!"

Jia Silian stood there staring for a long time, then turned back to Yanghua Hutong,
"Fourth sister, what's the matter?"

Wu Lian came up to meet her, Jia Silian shook her head, still in doubt,

"Who was Mrs. Liu arrested? She was arrested, so what happened to the fat shopkeeper?"

Thinking of this place, I couldn't stay anymore, and hurriedly said to Wulian,

"Fifth sister, you guard the stall, I'll come back as soon as I go!"

After saying that, she ran away, but she ran straight to the ice shop three streets away. When she ran out of the ice shop out of breath, she saw that the door of the shop was closed tightly, and there was a sign on it saying "The owner has something to do, the shop will not be open for the time being". typeface.

Jia Silian thought for a while and turned to the alley at the back, the woman guarding the back door lived in the back, guarding the door in that shop was trying to get closer to her home, so she went over and patted on the door of the woman's house, after a while the woman came out to answer door, seeing she wondered,
"Silian, why are you here?"

Jia Silian asked,

"Grandma, I... I'll come over and have a look..."

The old woman came to a sudden,
"You want to come here and find a job..."

He paused and shook his head,

"I'm afraid this shop won't be open for a while..."

Jia Silian's heart sank,
"What's wrong?"

The old woman replied,
"Something happened at the shopkeeper's house..."

"What happened?"

Speaking of this, the old woman shook her head again and again, tsk tsk regrettable,

"The shopkeeper's family is really unlucky. Earlier we worked part-time and went home. At night, I heard that the shopkeeper's family had died..."

"Die!"

Jia Silian cried out in shock,
"Dead...how did you die?"

The old woman said,

"I heard that I bought poisonous mushrooms outside. The family of seven made soup. The shopkeeper, the husband and wife, and two children, the two working women and the old man who guarded the gate, none of them escaped!"

When Jia Silian heard the words, she felt a chill down her back, and a chill rose from her heart, so cold that she couldn't help shivering.
"It's true that he died from eating poisonous mushrooms. Didn't the government come to do the autopsy?"

The old woman replied,
"Why didn't you come... The old lady went to watch the excitement... The shopkeeper's family is spitting black blood, everyone's eyes are wide open, and they can't die... That's scary!"

"What about people now?"

The old woman said,

"The whole family is dead. The shopkeeper's nephew came from Zhangjiawan to collect the corpses and buried them..."

"Then... what about Mrs. Liu?"

Jia Silian asked tremblingly,
"Miss Liu?"

The old lady thought about it,

"I saw her that day, but I didn't see anyone afterwards. I heard that...the shopkeeper died, and the owner couldn't find a suitable man for a while, so he asked Mrs. Liu to manage the shop first, and let her Go to the boss to pay the bill!"

"My boss... who is my boss?"

The old woman shook her head,
"I don't know, the shopkeeper and Mrs. Liu are usually in charge of things, how can I, the old lady who looks after the door, know!"

Jia Silian wanted to ask again, but the old woman didn't know what to ask, and she didn't blame her. Jia Silian stayed in that shop for a few days, and on weekdays it was indeed the shopkeeper who was in charge of things with Mrs. Liu. People like them know.

Jia Silian bid farewell to the old woman and turned back to Yanghua Hutong. Along the way, her face was pale and her heart was in a mess.
"The death of the shopkeeper's family is by no means that simple. Mrs. Liu was also taken away. Who was the one who took her away... Mrs. Liu said that I should report to the police... and said that the one in the ice cellar..."

Jia Silian vaguely guessed that the things in the ice cellar must be involved behind the scenes, the shopkeeper was probably silenced, and Mrs. Liu was probably not spared if she was arrested. Suddenly she was startled and stopped abruptly.
"Only the three of us know about this. The shopkeeper is dead, and Mrs. Liu has been arrested. Will she...will she...will tell me?"

Thinking of this, cold sweat oozes from Jia Silian's back,

"The person who arrested Mrs. Liu knew that it would be difficult to mess with him at a glance... What should I do now?"

Jia Silian stood on the street with people coming and going, looking around in panic, it seemed that there were men in short jackets with black hair on their chests everywhere on the street, staring at her everywhere,
"What to do..."

The first thing she thought of was Jia Jincheng,
"I'm going to find my father..."

Thinking of changing the direction at this point, she ran towards the Yamen, and when she ran to the Yamen, panting heavily, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"The other party was rich and powerful, and the shopkeeper's family died unexpectedly. One of them died by eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake. The government may not be able to find any clues, or they simply took money from others and deliberately covered up the facts..."

If that's the case, what's the use of finding your father by yourself?

Father is just a small gangster, if he doesn't make it right, his family will be like that fat shopkeeper's family, if he eats something by mistake, or if a thief enters the house at night, he will die in an accident like this. It's over!

Thinking of this, Jia Silian felt that not only was her back feeling cold, but her entire body was shivering as if falling into an ice cellar!

"I can't find my father...then...I...I...I'm looking for Mr. Mou!"

Thinking of Mou Biao, Jia Silian suddenly felt like she had found a support, and her flustered heart immediately calmed down.
"That's right! Mr. Xunmu, he's Jin Yiwei, with him... They dare to investigate whoever is rich and powerful!"

Thinking of this place, Jia Silian's body stopped shaking, her feet felt strong, and she turned around and ran to Yanghua Hutong again. She hurried home and found the badge given by Mou Biao in her closet. Xiang Shi saw it, so he came up to grab people,

"You damn girl, why are you running back and forth if you're not doing business outside?"

Jia Silian had something on her mind, and she didn't have the patience to pester her, she bent her body and dodged from her hand,

"Mom, I have something urgent. This matter is very important. I will talk to you when I come back at night!"

This side ran out again, stopped at the entrance of the alley, and told Wulian to say,
"If dad comes back, tell him, I have something to tell him about the lives of the whole family!"

Wu Lian only had time to nod her head, and then watched Jia Silian disappear in a flash.

If Jia Silian was going to Lu'er Lane, it would be dark when she reached the inner city with bare feet, so she found a carriage on the street and spent ten copper coins to tell the groom to hurry to the inner city. Hurry up to Mou's mansion, instead of going through the main entrance, he went to the corner gate that he had walked through before. The gatekeeper at that place still vaguely remembered Jia Silian, and he didn't hesitate when he saw her take out the eighth young master's badge, so he immediately sent a small Go in and report.

Mou Biao was practicing martial arts in the backyard at this time, and the autumn weather was cool even with the wind blowing under the shade of trees.

Young Master Mou Ba was wearing a strong suit of thin material, his hands and feet were tied tightly around his waist, and a palm-width belt was tied around his waist, which made his figure very strong. Vigorous, the long knife in his hand danced like a whistling wind, bringing strong winds all over his body, then he twisted his waist and raised his hand, slashed out with a knife, and the knife energy gushed out, rushing to Mou Long and Mou Hu who were standing aside. Feeling the cold wind cutting their faces, Qiqi couldn't help but retreated two steps, and a wooden stake one foot away split open at the sound,

"Crack..."

The gap as thick as a finger is visible to the naked eye, and the two immediately applauded when they saw it.
"The young master's internal strength is getting stronger..."

"Master is amazing!"

Mou Biao raised his eyebrows and said nothing, pursed his lips tightly, lowered his thick eyebrows, his eyes were cold, he turned his right hand, crossed the knife in front of his chest, and gently wiped the back of the knife with his left hand, stopped the trembling blade, and made a retraction. Dao Shi, this room was about to speak, but he heard footsteps outside,

"Eighth Young Master! Eighth Young Master!"

Mou Hu went to the door and shouted,

"What are you yelling about, you dare to interrupt the young master's martial arts practice, are you itchy?"

Seeing Mou Hu accompanying him, the boy who reported the letter said with a smile,
"Brother Hu, it's not that I don't understand the rules, it's that someone outside begged to see the Eighth Young Master, saying it was urgent!"

Mou Hu snorted,

"Who wants to find the young master, what's the hurry?"

"It's Yanghua Hutong, the little lady surnamed Jia..."

"Jia Silian..."

Just as Mou Hu said three words, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him. He turned his head and saw that his young master had rushed behind him at some point. Mou Biao raised his hand and pushed Mou Hu,
"Go and pick it up!"

Mou Hu walked quickly as he said, and after a while brought Jia Silian in who looked a little anxious,
"Silian, why are you here?"

Jia Silian replied,
"Xiao Lin, I need you urgently, let's find a place to talk!"

Mou Biao sized her up and saw that her face was flushed, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her expression was anxious. It seemed that something happened, so she nodded immediately.

"Let's go to the study..."

The two entered Mou Biao's study room, and Mou Biao was not polite to Jia Silian, he pushed her on the seat, and sat aside himself,
"you say……"

Jia Silian then told Mou Biao all about how she went to the ice cellar to do odd jobs, how she found the severed limb inside, what the shopkeeper said to Mrs. Liu, and what happened today.

"It seems that there is something wrong with the ice shop..."

This matter is easy to deal with, the owner behind the ice shop, Jin Yiwei is easy to find if he wants to investigate, but... if you dare to arrest people in the street, you are not afraid of the yamen servants and Jin Yiwei who are patrolling the city, I am afraid that the people behind them are really rich.
