C38 Amnesia

When she found the small alley she saw in the wall of the general's mansion and took out the account book, she hurried back into the medicine shop. Sang Ye, who was fiddling with the abacus, glanced at her and threw her purse over. Seeing the bag fly past her, she quickly reached out to grab it. "Cousin, your accuracy is too low."

"I wasn't planning on throwing it." Sang Ye stared at the account book and the abacus the whole time without even raising his head, but immediately added, "I'm just busy calculating the amount of money I'll have to pay my boss in the next three months. Today is the agreed date of quarterly rent collection. "Also, thank you for that matter."

"It's just a small matter. What's the point of wasting my breath?" Yun Shu was very pleased. The misunderstanding between her and Sang Ye had finally disappeared. "Does the hall need help?"

Sang Ye: "There's no need. You can go in. I'm busy."

When Yun Zhui entered the backyard, he saw Pei Hongqing, who was painting the makeup of an old man, bring over a small table and a recliner to drink tea in the yard while basking in the sun.

When he heard the commotion, he immediately turned around with a smile on his face, "Yo, you're back. How was it? Did you succeed in your beauty trap?"

Yun Shu, "…" She went to the small table beside him, turned over a clean teacup, and poured herself a cup of tea.

Pei Hongqing lowered his head and blew on his cup of tea, which was still steaming hot. "You're a man, yet you're good at beauties." "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, hurry up and chat with me. I, an old man, have been waiting in the backyard for you the entire morning. I'm almost suffocating from the news."

"This joke of yours isn't funny at all." Yun Shu took a sip of her cooling tea and continued, "Isn't it inconvenient to talk about these things outside? I'll head into the room first. " After saying that, he put down the teacup that had no remaining drop of water on it, turned around, and pushed open the door to enter.

Pei Hong Qing then walked in with a walking stick and closed the door. "Seriously, did you find anything?"

"Why do you think I have a way to enter the general's manor?" Yun Shu muttered softly to herself, then took out the account book from her bosom and passed it to him.

"Why is there mud inside …" General Pei shook the account book a few times in disgust, "How could I have chosen the wrong person? Look, didn't you get something from inside? "

Yun Shu raised her eyebrows doubtfully, but suddenly thought of something else, and said: "That's right, the master and servant that we met at Yifang Pavilion yesterday should be the master and servant that Sang Ye mentioned was here to visit the General's Mansion's Madam Lu." She bit her lower lip.

Hearing this, Pei Hongqing raised his head from the account book. "I didn't expect such a coincidence." With that, he started to worry in his heart.

However, he didn't have the time to clarify the situation between the master and servant. As he looked at the accounts book, his eyebrows creased into a hill, "Do you think that Jia Daoping will accept bribes as recorded in this book? If he conceals his true self well, the information I have received may not be enough for outsiders to determine what kind of person he is. "

"If the account book is true, then the surrender that Jia Daoping proposed to us before could very well be a ploy. On the other hand, if it's a fake, then it means that a certain person wanted to quietly stop Jia Daoping from giving in to us. This account book might be obtained by them on purpose too, did you discover anything strange after you entered the General's Estate? "

Yun Shu frowned slightly as she thought back. If she were to say something strange, she would probably only have that one.

She thought about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more suspicious it became. "When I found the books, I couldn't escape because Shaw wanted to bring a doctor with him, and the window near me was sealed. "But Xiao had just opened the door before he closed it again and left. I don't know if he saw me hiding behind the innermost row of bookshelves when he opened the door …"

Just as she finished speaking, the man's almond-shaped eyes, which had not been covered up by the old man's makeup, narrowed. "It seems the latter is more likely."

Yun Shu could not help but ask doubtfully, "But it's said that Orchid and Jia Daoping have been good friends since childhood, he shouldn't have betrayed Jia Daoping, right?"

"Logically speaking." Pei Hongqing nodded and continued, "However, I've heard that Ou Qi is a noble and noble person. I can't help but feel annoyed by Jia Daoping's actions. As for whether these two had different opinions on the matter of surrender, it would be clear after a try. "Go to the front hall and get me some pen and ink. I need to write something and send it to Jia Residence." After saying that, he took the account book and sat behind the table.

When Yun Zhuang went to the front hall to retrieve the items, he saw that Qin Lie had flipped to the last page of the account book. After Yun Zhuang went to the front hall to retrieve the items, he saw that Qin Lie had flipped to the last page of the account book.

After he finished writing, he folded this piece of paper and passed it to Yun Shu: "Take the envelope and put it away, then go out and find a random person to deliver this letter to the Jia manor. If Jia Daoping had sent people to Liuyuan Pavilion to negotiate, then this account book would have been true. We wouldn't have to believe that Jia Daoping sincerely wanted to surrender, because the 'surrender' that a different person who accepts bribes would have mentioned is truly not believable. "

Yun Shu handed the letter over to a child who was dressed in clothes that were patched up a few times, but still considered neat and tidy. Actually, she didn't plan to give the letter to a child when she first went out. When she saw the child standing in front of the stall that sold Facebook suddenly run towards a burly man not far in front of her, she subconsciously felt even worse.

Sure enough, not long after the child ran away from the big man, the big man discovered that his purse had been stolen. He turned around and ran after the child. How could a ten year old child outrun an adult? Not long after, he was caught by the big man, who angrily grabbed him by the collar. "You brat, you even dare to steal my money. You must be tired of living!"

The big man and the child stopped right beside her, and she was quickly stopped by the surrounding onlookers.

The child said nothing, but stared stubbornly at the man who had grabbed him by the collar and forced his feet off the ground.

Perhaps it was the fearless face that touched her. She didn't even think as she moved to their side, secretly taking away the child's hidden purse before putting it back on the big man's waist: "This big brother, this child didn't steal your money, your money bag is on your waist right?" After saying that, she lowered her head and pointed at the big man's waist.

"TNND, my money was clearly …" Lowering his head, he suddenly saw the purse hanging from his waist. The big man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before finding his voice. "Why did you come back alone?"

"Perhaps Big Brother was too flustered after being hit by this child and didn't pay attention to the side of his waist. That's why you think he stole your money. " After Yun Shu tried to force an explanation, she took advantage of the situation and said, "Since the money hasn't been stolen, can Big Brother let this child go?"

The big man looked around at the surrounding people who were pointing fingers and released the child's collar. He turned around and squeezed out of the crowd with an ugly expression.

The surrounding crowd gradually dispersed with the burly man's departure. Yun Shu squatted down and looked at the silent child in front of her: "Are you alright?"

The child took a step back and stared at the woman for a moment before shaking his head. The scent of steamed buns wafted up from the roadside, causing the child to turn his head and look in that direction.

Yun Shu followed his line of sight and could not help but smile. She pulled the child to an alley that was not crowded. "Wait for me here." With that said, he went to the bun house to buy some steamed buns.

"Here you go."

The child looked at the girl who handed him the lotus leaf wrapped in a bun with a smile on her face. He was stunned for a moment before he stretched his hand out to receive the bun.

Yun Shu sat on the steps of a nearby alley and watched as the child stuffed buns into her mouth one by one, her cheeks quickly bulging and deflating.

"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, I'll buy more for you." The child and the youth were similar. Regardless of whether it was the stubborn expression from before, or the way she grabbed the bun and wolfed it down, they both reminded her of that youth.

She rarely remembered what happened when she was eight years old, but she could clearly remember what happened to the boy — how he had grinned at her the first time he had smiled.

The boy had been found by the river behind her house. At that time, the green willow dike was filled with the chirping of insects and the singing of birds. The scorching sun was high in the sky. Her father was sleeping soundly in the main room, and the nurse who looked after her had fallen asleep beside her bed. Thinking that she had made an appointment with Ergou to catch her in the back mountains, she crept out of bed and through the dog hole in the back garden.

However, Ergou forgot their promise. Not waiting for her playmate to come back along the riverbank with a bored look on her face, she found a young man in dirty clothes lying on the riverbank.

She didn't dare to risk being punished to kneel in front of the ancestral hall to look for her father, so she could only bravely lean over and probe his breathing with her fingers.

Fortunately, the youth was still breathing, even though he was a bit weak. She planned to drag this youth who was at least a head taller than her into her house through the dog hole. However, she completely overestimated her strength. She only took a few steps back before she sat down on the ground and panted.

The youth with his eyes closed did not wake up because of this. When she finally used all her strength to drag him into her back garden and then sat him down on the ground to rest, the youth seemed to suddenly wake up from his sleep and sat up, but his first reaction was to grab her by the neck.

At that moment, she felt as though her throat had been pinched and shifted position. The phrase "good intentions are not rewarded" flashed through her mind, but at the next moment, the hand that was squeezing her neck loosened.

"You're about to die, but you're still so energetic? What did you eat to grow up?"

"None of your business." The youth's voice was weak, but his tone was extremely cold. His eyes were also cold. This made her feel that this boy, who did not seem to be much older than her, was not to be trifled with.
