Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 31
Many customers inside and outside the dumpling shop heard Qin Liu's words, and they were like water droplets splashing into the oil pan, crackling and chatting in a lively manner.

"Is someone kidnapping?"

"You have to report it to the official immediately! Report it to the official!"

"This is such a pitiful thing. An orphan and a widowed mother have a job to make a living, but they suffer another disaster!"

"You deserve it. Who made her store so expensive?! Who can ordinary people afford it?"

"You can't say that! This store is also owned by her. If it's too expensive, why don't we just eat here?"

……

Qin Liu ignored other people's comments, wiped his face, held the kitchen knife in his arms, and walked towards East Street.

At this moment, she didn't know what she was about to face.

But she knew that she had no one to rely on behind her, but she was the only one she could count on for her two children.She is the mother of her child. Even if it is a sea of ​​swords and fire, she will still have to fight through it!
She calmed down as much as possible and reviewed Old Man Li's words.

Wearing military uniform!

That's not Tatar.She felt a little relieved.

In Shapuzi Town, the officers she might offend were Chen Baihu, whom she caught having an affair with, and the other, the biggest official in the town, Mr. Zhang.

Chen Baihu had not done anything for more than a month, so he shouldn't have kidnapped her child.

As for Mr. Zhang, he had been quiet for a while, why did he suddenly revolt?
When he arrived at the door of the second house from the west on East Street, Qin Liu saw two soldiers standing straight that looked familiar, and he couldn't tell what he felt.

The soldiers respectfully led her into the house.

In the main room is a long table with a wine pot and side dishes placed on it. Mr. Zhang is pouring and drinking by himself.

Qin Liu ignored Mr. Zhang - she heard the cry of a child next door, and felt a little pain in her heart: the two little guys must have been frightened, and they didn't even dare to cry loudly.

Occasionally, there was Da Lang's voice comforting Er Lang: "Mom will come to us, brother, don't be afraid!"

Qin Liu felt slightly relieved, calmed down and said, "Master Zhang, you brought the two children of a common woman here. If you have any advice, please tell me."

Mr. Zhang leaned back on the chair comfortably and said with a smile: "Ms. Li, you are a smart person. You might as well guess why I invited you here?"

Qin Liu replied: "A commoner woman is soft-spoken and has a low status. She can make people achieve something, but there is only one Yanzilou. Does Mr. Zhang want it?"

Mr. Zhang waved his hands and said with a joking smile: "Young lady, this is wrong."

Qin Liu felt his throat was stiff: "Could it be that Mr. Zhang is not after wealth, but for sex?"

Master Zhang leaned forward and said with a half-smile, "Young lady is only half right."

Qin Liu's pupils shrank, and he thought for a while and said: "A commoner's woman is a dead flower and a willow, and she has filial piety. If she gets involved with a commoner's wife, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation. It's better for a commoner's woman to come forward and go to the capital to buy a gentry. Would it be more appropriate to come back and serve your lord?"

Master Zhang was slightly moved, lowered his eyelids and smiled silently.

Qin Liu took advantage of the victory and pursued him: "After all, Mrs. Qu and I are neighbors. Now she is pregnant with your flesh and blood. She and I have never met each other. If she knew about it, it would also affect her pregnancy and delay your heir. This is a big deal. !”

Master Zhang stood up, stretched out a lot, and said lazily: "The young lady is very eloquent, and she almost persuaded me. However, it is still early, so the young lady might as well have a good chat with me. , let’s take a look at the excitement behind it.”

Qin Liu felt flustered for a while.

Is there any excitement behind there?Isn't he the target of Master Zhang?
Who else is there?

Maang? ——That shouldn’t be the case. He is Master Zhang’s subordinate. If you want to punish him, why should you use yourself as a raft?It's the little mute! ! !

Qin Liu was struck like five thunders.

She secretly prayed that the little mute had left the city and returned to the grassland!
After spending more than two months together day and night, she was still wary of the little mute, but she also hoped that he would leave well and safely.

Firstly, don't get her involved, and secondly, although he is occasionally fierce, he is generally a good young man, especially kind to her children.

How bad can a teenager be who can show a genuine smile to his children and play with them?

Master Zhang approached Qin Liu step by step. Qin Liu immediately became nervous and forgot about the little mute.

When Mr. Zhang was a few steps away from her, Qin Liu pointed to the door next door and said awkwardly: "I'm going to see how the children are doing?"

She walked to the door, but she couldn't open it. It seemed to be bolted from the inside.

Mr. Zhang calmly said, "My dear, it's better to take a rest. It's not good for the children to see what's wrong with their own mother."

Qin Liu's heart was heavy. She forced a smile and said, "Master Zhang must have a child, right? I wonder how old the young lady is?"

Master Zhang frowned and looked at her with some displeasure: "Are you threatening me?"

Qin Liu was stunned, waved his hands quickly, and said with a flattering smile: "No, no! How can a civilian woman have the courage? I just hope that Mr. Zhang will take care of the child for the sake of his young age..."

Master Zhang ignored her and returned to the chair in front of the long desk to continue drinking.

Qin Liu touched the kitchen knife and silver in his arms, feeling uneasy and anxious.

Now it seems that the adult is not targeting her shop and her people, but the little mute is his ultimate goal.

I don’t know what kind of power is behind this Tatar boy, so he can actually let Mr. Zhang deliberately use himself and his children as bait.

It was getting dark a little bit.

When it was completely dark, Mr. Zhang walked to the door, frowned and looked out the door, somewhat impatiently.

He turned to look at Qin Liu, and after some thought he made up his mind.

He stepped forward and grabbed Qin Liu's arm, and said with a smile: "Are you tired after waiting for a long time? Go inside and have a rest?"

Qin Liu broke out in a cold sweat and was half-dragged into a nearby room. The door was ajar. After Qin Liu entered, he saw a big man with a big man and a big man under his left and right arms. The two children had both eyes. He closed his body tightly and felt weak. He didn't know whether he fell asleep or was strangled to death.

Qin Liu shouted in a stern voice: "Da Lang Er Lang!" Her other arm touched Da Lang's calf, which was still warm, and she felt slightly relieved.

I didn't hear the children's struggles and violent cries just now. They must have been poisoned, right?

Master Zhang had no reason to kill them both!
Mr. Zhang pushed her to the bed against the wall and said with a smile: "How can I live up to such a beautiful time? My dear, I'm not polite."

Qin Liu panicked and took out the kitchen knife hidden in his arms, raised his trembling hands in front of his chest, and said sternly: "Don't come here!"

Master Zhang easily snatched the kitchen knife from his hand and threw it on the ground: "Hey, he is still a little pepper, interesting. Like this,"

Master Zhang took off his belt, raised Qin Liu's hands above his head and tied them together.

He felt around her arms again and took out a bag of silver. He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You little widow is really good at making money. Be good. I will let you take care of this Yanzi Building in the future. Come and take care of me a few times a month." That’s it.”
