Chapter 97 The Murderer Has Come

In the days that followed, the Jia family went on as usual except for the loss of Xiang Shi and Jia Youchuan. The three sisters still sold noodles at the entrance of the alley, leaving early and returning late every day, working hard to earn money. Even Jia Silian had some fluke thoughts, thinking that the other party might disdain such a small person like herself and would not come again, but this day has come.

On this day, the sky was not yet clear, and the three sisters went out of the stall early. As the weather turned colder, the dawn in the east got later and later. After they put all their things away, the sky showed a smear of gray. There are not many people on the street, and all the people who come and go are hurried purchasers or carriages transporting goods out of the city.

The first business in the morning was two vegetable farmers who came to the city. They ordered the cheapest noodles. After eating a large bowl, they gave each of them a copper coin and left with a load of vegetables. Guard at the gate of the city, and wait for the gate to open to enter the city to do business. If there is a big family looking for fresh food, they are willing to give an extra copper coin or two to buy the vegetables they picked into the city overnight. The farmer worked hard for that. For the extra one or two copper coins, I am willing to spend the night in the wild outside the city.

Wu Lian went over to put away the bowls and chopsticks, wiped the table with a handkerchief, turned around to wash the dishes, and heard someone calling behind her,
"Staller, cook three bowls of noodles..."

"Hey...guest, please sit down for a while, I'll be here soon!"

Liu Lian rushed forward to say hello, and there were three men who came, all dressed in coarse clothes, dressed like country folks rushing into the city, Liu Lian went up and asked,
"What kind of noodles do the three guests want to eat?"

The leader of the group glanced at Si Lian who was kneading her face behind,
"Three big bowls of Yangchun noodles..."

Liulian responded,
"Okay... three wait a moment..."

After the three bowls of noodles were ready, Jia Silian brought them up and placed them in front of the three of them one by one.
"There are seasonings on the table, if the three of you think it's too salty, you can add it yourself..."

The three nodded, and Jia Silian stepped aside, but her eyes turned around on the three of them. The three of them were dressed as peasants in the country, except for coarse clothes, they didn't even have a bag on their shoulders, let alone a vegetable load or a bag. Carrying a basket, not to mention that the skin on the hands is not as dark and rough as that of a farmer who faces the loess and his back to the sky all day long.

"call……"

Jia Silian let out a long breath, and finally came. She pretended to help wash the dishes, and ordered Wulian and Liulian in a low voice,

"People are coming, you leave here..."

As soon as she said this, Wu Lian and Liu Lian immediately shook their bodies, and their two little faces gradually turned pale.
"Fourth sister, come... come... is it... he... them?"

Liu Lian couldn't help but turn her head to look, Si Lian grabbed her and said loudly,

"Sixth sister, I took a look just now, there is no more vinegar, you go to the front of Li's Vinegar Village and fill a pot and come back..."

"Fourth sister..."

Jia Silian gave her a wink,
"Go!"

Liu Lian reluctantly turned around, took the vinegar pot, resisted the thought of turning back, bit her lip and left, Jia Silian ordered Wu Lian,

"Go home and get some bowls and chopsticks. Business is good today. I'm afraid there won't be enough bowls and chopsticks!"'

Wu Lian was also taken away by her, and Jia Silian was left to guard the three of them. Seeing that the three of them kept their heads down and ate noodles without saying a word, seeing that a bowl of noodles would soon bottom out, the leader fumbled from his sleeve pocket. Bring out some copper coins,
"Staller, collect the money..."

Jia Silian nodded,
"Come on!"

This room walked over step by step, her eyes fixed on the table, but she was looking at the expressions of the three people from the corner of her eye. As she came over step by step, the faces of the three people really had a strange look, and the leader put his hand on his waist, Jia Silian involuntarily clenched her lips, she could only hear her heart beating like a drum, she was about to come over and reach for a copper coin, when suddenly someone yelled,
"Silian, cook a bowl of noodles..."

When Jia Silian turned her head, she saw that it was Chu San who often sold cakes on the street,

"Come on!"

Jia Silian nimbly put away the copper plate on the table,
"Thank you guest!"

Turning around and going to cook the noodles again, the three of them exchanged glances, just sat there without moving, waiting quietly for Chu San to leave after eating the noodles, but Chu San was not in a hurry today, eating the noodles while still eating the noodles. Jia Silian chatted,

"Why haven't you seen your mother come out these few days?"

Xiang's stature and tough reputation have long been known to everyone in the neighborhood. Chu San didn't see her for a long time, so he asked her, and Jia Silian replied,
"I had an argument with my father, and I took my younger brother back to my mother's house!"

Chu San laughed when he heard this,
"It's been so many years, it's still like this, wait a few more years, your sisters are getting married, your brother is going to marry a wife, why are the two of them still like this, when the couple fights, your mother will run to her mother's house ?”

From the corner of her eyes, Jia Silian caught a glimpse of the three people sitting at the table, using their chopsticks to pretend to pick up the noodles in the bowl, but their ears were listening to the conversation, and knowing that they were waiting for Chu San to leave, she responded with a wry smile,
"My mother has always been that temperament..."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, pretending that he didn't want to talk about it, Chu San knew how to tease his parents in front of his daughters, it was not good, so he smiled and put down the copper plate.
"I'm going to set up a stall..."

As soon as he left, there were only those three people left at the noodle stall. Seeing this, the leader suddenly looked down into the noodle bowl,
"Hey... there must be a cockroach here..."

He pointed to the bowl with his hand, Jia Silian looked around, and sure enough, he saw a black thing in the bowl, the three of them all looked angry when they saw it,

"Tena stall owner, come here and have a look, how come there are cockroaches here, what kind of business do you do, do you want to eat dead people?"

Jia Silian pretended to be surprised when she heard the words, and walked over holding the handkerchief to wipe the table. When the leader saw her coming, he pointed one hand into the bowl,

"See for yourself..."

One hand was gesturing to come over to pull her, Jia Silian shrank when she saw this, and dodged to the side, but she didn't prevent the man on the other side from making a move. As soon as the man stretched out his hand, he covered her mouth heavily, and then stretched out his hand to grab her. took her arm, took it to his arms,

"Uh...uh..."

Jia Silian's eyes widened and she struggled endlessly, but the opponent was so strong that she was dragged all the way to a dark corner in the alley. The leader approached her with a flash of cold light, and said in his mouth,
"Little girl, don't blame us for your death, but blame you for knowing things you shouldn't know..."

After saying that, he stabbed Jia Silian's abdomen with a knife. During the movement, he fixed his eyes on Jia Silian's face, waiting to see her stare and open her mouth, showing pain in her eyes. I felt a sharp pain in my elbow, and my hand trembled,
"Dang..."

The dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and then the strong wind hit his ear, and someone punched his temple hard, and his head hit the wall next to him hard.

"what……"

The leader let out a scream, was kicked in the stomach, rickety, and gave up, stretched out his hand to cover Jia Silian, only to feel a figure fall from the top of his head, and when he was about to look up, his boss was beaten Fist, he slipped to the ground as soon as he was short, he didn't know well, he took Jia Silian back for several steps, reached out to touch the sharp knife at his waist, just as his fingertips touched the handle, someone punched him from behind hit the back of the head,
"Well……"

His body trembled, he felt buzzing in his head, and as soon as he let go of his hands, Jia Silian struggled from his restraint and ran to the side, the remaining one of the three saw two people jumping down from the wall, and My two brothers fell to the ground, knowing that there was nothing to be done, they turned around and ran, but before taking two steps, another person jumped in front of me,

"call……"

Mou Hu punched him, the man had also practiced kung fu for a few days, he turned sideways to avoid it, raised his hand to catch Mou Hu's fist, and punched him under the armpit, Mou Hu raised his foot and kicked the opponent's armpit. In the crotch, the man hurriedly pulled back, but Mou Biao came from behind him and kicked him on the back. The man staggered a few steps, and threw himself forward, just in time to meet Mou Hu's fist.

"boom……"

This punch hit right above his chest, causing him to step back a few steps and bend over to protect his chest. Mou Biao's punch hit him from behind and hit his back waist and eyes. The man's knees softened in pain, and he Kneeling down, Mou Long also came over at this time, no matter how the two brothers caught the man, Mou Biao punched and kicked him, turned his head back to Jia Silian,
"Silian, how are you?"

Jia Silian shook her head,
"nothing……"

Then wondered,
"Why are you here today?"

The members of the Jinyiwei attached to Jia's family were always guarding in the dark, and there were two other people who disguised themselves as street vendors. Jia Silian had been selling noodles on this street for a long time. It's strange, she thought it was just Mou Biao who sent his subordinates, but she didn't expect him to come today!

Mou Biao replied,

"I reckoned that it's been about ten days, so there should be some movement, so I came over to have a look, I didn't expect to meet it!"

He sent someone to investigate the owner of the ice shop. At the beginning, only a wealthy businessman named Lei was found. The Lei family came from the south three years ago. There are more than ten shops in his family. This ice shop is only one of them. There are so many businesses like Lei's in the capital, they are very common.

Lei's business is done according to routine. Shangguan has a lot of filial piety, so he is looking for a way to find it, but he is a foreign merchant, and he wants to spoon food in the big pot in the capital. It won't be easy to take root, so they are looking for a way around, and up to now, they have only found a master of the Ministry of Industry, and it is said that they don't have the courage to do these things.

As for Mrs. Liu who was taken away that day, Jin Yiwei followed and tracked down, only to find out that Mrs. Liu was sent out of the city to a manor outside. It has been abandoned for a long time, but this line can't be checked anymore.

"The people behind the scenes are not so clever. This is definitely not a simple murder case!"
