Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 20 Antidote Liu Three Points (2)

Shen Huai looked at the night thoughtfully.

Su Ya is indeed impeccable as a daughter, but is she an honest trading partner?

When I mentioned Liu Sandian just now, how could her slight disorder escape Shen Huai's observation?

In Shen Huai's view, the subsequent quarrels between her and Gao Jun were more like making excuses.

Shen Huai's eyes grew colder. Liu Sandian was the key to his detoxification. If Su Ya really knew about Liu Sandian but deliberately concealed it, she would be standing on his opposite side in disguise.

Appreciation is one thing, opposition is another.

Su Ya, please don't let me down.

"Haqiu!"

Su Ya sneezed so hard that Yan was so nervous that she made her a bowl of ginger soup.

Under Yan's supervision, she drank until her forehead was sweating, but her heart was still cold - it was so scary!

Zhou Huai is so scary!

Did she ever say she had met Liu Sandian?

She deliberately used Gaojun to interrupt, and Shen Huai seemed to really think that her request was logical, but in the blink of an eye he asked her with a smile: "Miss Su, you just mentioned Liu Sandian, where have you seen her?" - She took the initiative to ask her. Is it three o'clock yet? It seems true!

This Zhou Huai is indeed not easy to get along with. She has only seen the ability to dig holes in those old foxes, and he is only in his weak years.

Su Ya always felt that after her rebirth, she had far more knowledge and scheming than in her previous life, but in front of Shen Huai, she often felt a sense of crisis.

The territory of Huai'an is too small, and Shen Huai breaks in from the outside world. He seems to carry something that is superior to this territory, which makes Su Ya feel that she is too barren.

He also asked himself if he wanted to go on a "night tour" tonight. What did this mean?

Have you seen the clues already?

There was a reason for Su Ya's anxiety. She did have something in her mind - but for the time being, she wasn't sure whether the person she knew was actually Liu Sandian.

But Su Ya didn't dare to act rashly.

I dare not move.

It wasn't until the ugly hour was over that Su Ya quietly got up. This time she didn't even dare to touch the wall of Zhou's house, and walked out of Hexia District in a roundabout way, heading all the way to Qingjiangpu.

Qingjiangpu is located on the southwest side outside Huai'an City. It was originally an abandoned old Shahe River canal. In the 13th year of Yongle, Chen Xuan, then the governor of Cao, dug out the old Shahehe canal, diverted lake water into the canal to connect to the Huaihe River, and built Qingjiang River, Fuxing, The four gates of Tongji and Huiji responded to the catharsis. From then on, the canal ships from the south of the Yangtze River could finally reach Qingjiangpu directly, and then change the land route to the north from here. For more than sixty years, all ships from the south and horses from the north have converged here.

Qingjiangpu has become a transportation hub with new vitality. Along the canal, there are Qingjiang Cao Shipyard, military barracks, military quarters, granaries, etc. lined up along the canal. In addition, there are emerging trade bazaars on both sides of the river. Although there is no internal The flowers in the city are like brocade, but they are not so prosperous.

Su Ya's family originally lived in the military barracks area not far from Qingjiangpu Pier, where she had her happiest childhood and her most painful memories.

With the bright moon in the sky, Su Ya was familiar with the road and soon came to a shabby alley sandwiched between the shops along the coast and the military residential area.

There are three or four houses in the alley, and they are still sleeping at this time, and everything is quiet.

Su Ya climbed over the courtyard wall of the outermost house and landed in the courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, with a pergola built along the wall, and some medicine baskets and winnowing leaves piled under the shed. There is a gatehouse at the entrance, and the doors and windows of the main room are tightly closed.

Su Ya went over and pressed the window lattice lightly: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu!"

I asked several times, but no one answered.

She felt strange and went to push the door, but it opened easily and was not locked inside.

"Uncle Liu? Uncle Liu, are you there?"

Su Ya already felt something was wrong, but she still insisted on calling softly twice.

No one answered.

She walked into the inner room, and sure enough, it was empty. The bed was messy, there were signs of rummaging around the room, there were broken teapots and cups on the floor, and the silver needle bag that Uncle Liu brought with him was also thrown on the table.

Her heart immediately started to wonder, what's going on? Has something happened here? Could it be that the worst guess is true and someone has taken the lead?

Su Ya nervously jumped out of the yard, only to find that there was a county government seal on the door.

The time was five days ago, which means that the courtyard was sealed on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

At this time, the sound of someone getting up at night was heard in the courtyard next door.

Winter nights are extremely cold, so every family puts their buckets into their houses at night, so they don't have to go out to do small things in the cold. But if there is a way out for Yoneden, you still have to go outside to solve it.

Su Ya patiently leaned against the wall and listened to the mud and sand falling in the yard.

After a while of fussing, she finally stopped. She no longer cared about being particular, and shouted across the courtyard wall: "Next door, please tell me, where is the cripple Liu who is treating me here?"

Meng Buding, the man next door, was so startled that he almost couldn't hold up his pants, "Who is it?!"

"I came to see a doctor..."

"Xiaoya, right? You are Xiaoya?"

After a sound of footsteps, the door to the courtyard next door was opened, and a human head poked out.

"Uncle Hei, it's me." Su Ya was a little embarrassed, "Do you know what happened to Uncle Liu's family?"

"I knew it was you as soon as I heard the voice." Uncle Hei didn't take it seriously and wiped the cold snot from his nose with his cotton sleeve. "You came too late. Liu Laizi was arrested by the Yamen."

"ah?"

"Oh, it's that black-hearted guy Xue Ergui. He broke little Xue Jun's bones and refused to give him medical treatment. Liu Laizi couldn't bear it, so he hid little Xue Jun at home."

"and after?"

"Later, Xue Ergui found out that he came to extort money from Liu Laizi, but he didn't get the money. In the blink of an eye, he went to the county government to sue the officials, saying that Liu Laizi was abducting and trafficking people. I don't know what method he used, and the government gave him up on the same day.

He was tricked and now he is still locked up in the county jail."

"What about Xue Jun?"

"He was dragged away by Xue Ergui again! Oops, the child screamed so badly that his legs were broken. Xue Ergui dragged him on the ground and asked him to go home to make money."

"Uncle Hei, I understand, thank you for telling me," Su Ya felt the veins in her forehead throbbing, holding back her anger as she thanked the person, "You should go back and rest."

"Oh, Lao Liu is also stubborn," Uncle Hei said, waving his hand, "Okay, you can go back too."

Su Ya turned around and walked out of the alley, around three turns, and entered a residential area.

This place was much more remote and crude than the previous one, with fences protruding from the courtyard walls and shaky thatched huts. Su Ya walked through them and found a low woodshed.

Opening the door, a young man with hair like thatch raised his head under the moonlight, holding a layer of thick felt cloth and needle and thread in his hands.

He was picking up the soles of his shoes in the moonlight!

"Su, Sister Su Ya?"

The young man was in a daze, as if his eyes were still not used to it. He stared hard at Su Ya in the moonlight, his face full of disbelief.

It wasn't until Su Ya took another step forward and stood under the moonlight that he finally saw Su Ya's face clearly, and tears rolled down her face, "Sister Su Ya..."

As soon as the sound came out, he immediately covered his mouth in alarm, and then struggled to hold on to the wall to stand up from the haystack. At the same time, he lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Su Ya, why are you here?"

Su Ya hurried over to help him, "Don't move, I'll come and see you."

The boy's movement pulled his injured leg, causing his facial features to twist in pain. He took a deep breath, held back his cry of pain, and held Su Ya's wrist tightly, his voice trembling——

"Sister Su Ya, it doesn't matter to me, Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu is in jail, it was me who harmed him!"
