Chapter 522 Montage
Huating County, backyard of Zhou Mansion.
Crack~ Crack!
The loud sound of kowtowing echoed in the courtyard, and the unkempt Zhou She had his hands and feet bound like Song Yinzhang at that time, tied his neck with a rope, and tied it to the tree where Song Yinzhang was tied at that time.
"Yinzhang, lady, save me, lady, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I am not as good as a beast, I am just a beast, you go and beg Mr. Zhou for mercy, please forgive me~!"
Seven days came in a blink of an eye for Zhou Ji and Si Teng, but for Zhou She, the days seemed like years.
Tengsha’s pain was unbearable. After another three days of torture, the last trace of resentment in Zhou She’s heart was completely wiped away.
Zhou She saw Song Yinzhang walking along the promenade with Zhou Ji Siteng, kowtowed and begged for mercy over and over again with tears streaming down his face. Seeing the miserable and distressed appearance made Song Yinzhang relieved, but it also made her feel a little compassion.
"Miss Sito, Mr. Zhou"
"Do you really remember to eat but not fight?" Si Teng saw Song Yinzhang's thoughts at a glance, glanced at Zhou She, and his eyes fell back on Song Yinzhang, his cold and flat tone revealed a bit of hatred for iron and steel, "Could it be that the body The scar on your body is healed, and the wound on your body doesn't hurt anymore? Or is your hungry stomach full and your mouth no longer thirsty? Has he ever softened his heart when he treated you like that before? "
"My lady, I really know I was wrong. I will definitely correct my past mistakes and treat you well~" Zhou She's face was full of expectations, he stared closely at Song Yinzhang's eyes, knelt on the ground and rubbed forward, but the rope Suddenly tensed, the whole person fell to the ground, coughed several times, his neck was flushed, and his veins bulged.
Song Yinzhang took half a step back, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck. After a few days of recuperation, the bloodstains on his neck that were red and worn out by the rope had gradually recovered, but the kind of people who could not drink water even if they tightened their necks Humiliation and despair still linger in my heart.
Although Song Yinzhang has a simple mind and a simple mind, she has her own ideas and persistence.
It's definitely not a fool who just resigns himself to repaying grievances with virtue. Otherwise, how could she beg Si Teng to make Zhou She pay the price when she heard that Si Teng wanted to avenge her?
If there is no Si Teng, if Zhou She finds that there is no more money to be squeezed out of Song Yinzhang, and decides to dedicate her to the powerful in exchange for the final price. I believe that this little girl who looks as weak as a little white rabbit will definitely try her best to save herself. Even design 'anti-kill'.
"Zhou She, if you tied me under this tree for ten days, I will pay you back for ten days." Song Yinzhang took a step forward. Although a little scared, he still raised his head and said stubbornly, "As for the things you took away Silver, and my pipa, you have to give me back no matter what!"
How could Zhou She dare to refute, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he fully agreed to the conditions proposed by Song Yinzhang, only asking to let himself go and let him have time to raise money to pay back the money.
Zhou Ji caught the resentment in this scumbag's eyes, and couldn't help being a little funny.
Public opinion is like a tide, and if you don't pay attention, it will attract backlash.
Right now, the whole city is filled with righteous indignation because of "Song Shiniang". If it weren't for the use of illusion to cover the Zhou Mansion, those energetic and cynical scholars would have rushed into the Zhou Mansion and exported it to Zhou She.
Of course, if they rushed in and saw Zhou She tied to a tree and Song Yinzhang safe and sound, the situation would be completely different.
On the other side, Gu Qianfan took Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang to leave the ferry for Jiaxing.
Governments from all over the country have already issued arrest documents at sea, slandering him as a pirate. Gu Qianfan originally wanted to send a message to the officer stationed in Jiaxing of the Imperial City Division, but as soon as the news spread, it attracted a crowd of officers and soldiers.
A six-rank judge would be killed if he said so, and the magistrate of Qiantang County was only seven rank, so it was absolutely impossible to extend his hand to Jiaxing.
Right now, even the Secretary of the Imperial City is involved. Who knows how big the interests are behind it.
The three escaped from the pursuit of officers and soldiers and hid in Tibet all the way. It took a full five days to rush from the ferry to Jiaxing City.
Fortunately, those officers and soldiers didn't know the existence of Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, and Gu Qianfan's name was the only one on the sea arrest documents.
Noticing the local government servants patrolling the market, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang held umbrellas to cover the sun and Gu Qianfan, who was wearing a hat, slipped into the post house.
A yamen servant saw the faces of the three people, and was about to step forward to ask questions, but was quickly stopped by his companion, "Hey, are you stupid? This is an official post, and you can only live there when you are an official. Look at his posture, it looks like a Lord, how dare the pirates go in?"
Gu Qianfan dug out the Jinshi document that he had prepared in advance, Yicheng did not suspect him, and hurriedly led the three of them into the backyard.
The Imperial City Departments in Qiantang and Jiaxing have obviously been infiltrated. The entire Imperial City Department, only Wan Qi, the resident officer under the jurisdiction of the Xiuzhou Imperial City Department, can still be trusted.
Gu Qianfan made some arrangements and wrote a letter trusting Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang to find someone to send to Xiuzhou.
This matter has a lot to do with it, and the two women don’t know each other well in Jiaxing. Just when he was at a loss, Zhao Pan’er’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, and smiled confidently, “I’ve figured out a way!”
Sun Sanniang was full of doubts, and asked Zhao Paner how to find a way to deliver the letter safely to Xiuzhou. Zhao Paner smiled mysteriously, just said "follow me", and then asked someone for the location of the largest brothel in the city.
When she came to the brothel, Zhao Pan'er seemed to have returned to her home, and in front of Sun Sanniang, she made up a sad and sad story to persuade her husband to change her mind, and gave the corner of Gu Qianfan's burnt gold medal to the old bustard of Xiangyun Tower.
Speaking of the depths, Zhao Pan'er couldn't help thinking of Ouyang Xu who was far away in the capital, her words were full of true feelings, and the old bustard wiped her tears while putting the gold ingot into her sleeve.
Both are from lowly nationality, they were sympathetic to each other, but just sent a letter to Xiuzhou, the old bustard immediately called the boatman and told him to hand it over to the official named 'Wan Qi'.
Seeing that the bustard agreed to help deliver the letter, Zhao Paner breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and chatted with the bustard again.
When women get together, they usually talk about gossip after a few words. When they talk about the misery of the lowly people, the procuress becomes more and more angry. For some reason, she suddenly shows a look of indignation, and grits her teeth: "These men usually talk sweet words. , In fact, most of them are wolf-hearted, ungrateful people!"
Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang were taken aback by the madam's sudden anger, and the madam came back to her senses, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh. It's all because of the excerpt that has been circulating in the city these days, which makes people really angry."
"Excerpt?"
Seeing the puzzled faces of the two, the bustard got up and took a small notebook from the dressing table next to her, and handed it to the two, "This is "Song Shiniang"."
The same lowly official prostitute, also good at pipa, also the number one pipa player in the south of the Yangtze River, also met a businessman named Zhou She, thought he had met someone who really loved him, and ran away with him desperately, only to find that the other party was just A bad gambler who covets her money and intends to murder her.
When she saw that this 'Song Shiniang' had just been married to Zhou's mansion, she was beaten fifty times by Zhou She, cheated and abducted for money, Zhao Pan'er felt cold hands and feet, and a chill covered her body; She tied Song Shiniang to the courtyard, beat and scolded all day long, even took away her beloved pipa and sold it
crack~
With a soft sound, the folder fell off the table. Seeing that something was wrong, Sun Sanniang hurriedly supported Zhao Pan'er who was shaking, looked down at the book, and found that she didn't understand at all, so she helped Zhao Pan'er to sit beside her, and said with concern: "Pan'er, what's wrong with you? Pan'er?"
"Miss Zhao, are you okay? But what's wrong? Are you sick?"
"I'm fine." Zhao Pan'er patted the back of Sun Sanniang's hand, shook her head with a pale face, picked up the fallen booklet and flipped through it, and found that Zhou She was planning to murder for money and tried to sink the dead body of 'Song Shiniang' The place at the bottom of the pond stopped abruptly, and he hurriedly asked the old bustard where this letter came from, and what was the follow-up content?
The procuress comforted Zhao Paner while explaining to her that this "Song Shiniang" was an excerpt that suddenly appeared in the past few days. At the beginning, someone told stories in teahouses and restaurants, and then compiled it into an excerpt, which spread quickly in the city, attracting countless scholars. focus on.
As for the follow-up, not to mention her, those scholars who hold booklets all day and are filled with righteous indignation for Song Shiniang want to know more.
Coincidentally, there happened to be a man of the same name named Zhou She in Huating County near Jiaxing, and he was just as addicted to gambling as it was written in the booklet. The empty house has its appearance. It went to another place more than half a month ago and brought a girl home.
"Introduction. That's right! It must be an introduction!"
Sun Sanniang couldn't understand the book, and listened to the old bustard's description in a cloud of mist. Zhao Pan'er's expression changed slightly, and he opened the booklet again and took a look, asserting: "This Song Shiniang is the introduction."
The two returned to the posthouse, and Zhao Paner told Gu Qianfan what she had seen and heard, and was going to Huating County to rescue Song Yinzhang.
"This matter is too strange." Gu Qianfan paced back and forth, frowning: "Even if the Song Yinzhang you know is the Song Shiniang mentioned in the book, where did this book come from?"
Sun Sanniang, who understood the cause and effect, nodded and said, "Yes, according to what that nanny said, someone told stories in restaurants and teahouses, and someone compiled a booklet and spread it all over the city. It must be impossible for Zhou She to do it himself?"
"I have thought about all the doubts you mentioned. It would be a good thing if someone intentionally ruined Zhou She's reputation, but if Zhou She really treats the introductions like the booklets." Zhao Pan'er remembered what he saw in the booklets, and couldn't help but shudder.
Looking out of the window, Zhao Paner's eyes flashed with distress and worry: "I don't know how Yinzhang is doing now."
Being worried about Song Yinzhang's safety, Zhao Pan'er immediately set off for Huating County, and Sun Sanniang was worried and had to follow.
When the two of them arrived at Huating, it was already late, and they didn't know the exact location of the Zhou Mansion, so they had to find an inn first, inquire about the specific situation by the way, and then go to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow.
When it comes to the Zhou Mansion, both the shopkeeper and the staff are interested, and they pretend to be mysterious and tell them that the Zhou Mansion has been transferred and sold off two days ago. Three thousand miles away.
Zhao Paner was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked for details, only to find out that before the sale of the Zhou Mansion, the Zhou House closed its doors to thank guests for many consecutive days.
Just three days ago, Zhou She suddenly asked relatives, friends and neighbors from the village to testify, and wrote a letter of reconciliation in public to reconcile with a lady from the Song family.
But just after writing the Heli Shu and Lady Song left the Zhou mansion, Zhou She went to the government again to appeal for grievances, suing Lady Song for murder, because Zhou She's reputation was not good, and there were rumors around Jiaxing recently. According to the book of Guanghua, a group of scholars complained about the injustice for Mrs. Song, and even the official was partial in his heart, so Zhou She was sentenced on the spot to privately rob officials, and he was punished and exiled.
At the end of the story, the shopkeeper couldn't help applauding. When Zhao Pan'er asked Song Yinzhang's whereabouts again, no one knew.
Tens of miles away, Ning'an Town.
A carriage is parked next to the inn in the town.
Si Teng raised the curtain of the car and glanced around, and landed on Zhou Ji who had already got off the car. Rou Yi stepped forward, blinking his clear black and white eyes, and looked at Zhou Ji without saying a word.
Zhou Ji laughed dumbly, instead of folding a wooden stick as a cane as before, he reached out to catch Si Teng's delicate and cool Rou Yi, and carefully helped her down.
Si Teng's willow eyebrows, which were as thin as a crescent moon, stretched out, and gave Zhou Ji a satisfied look.
On the other side, Yinping helped Song Yinzhang get off the carriage, and came around from the side.
Both Zhou Ji and Si Teng can rely on spiritual energy to survive, but Song Yinzhang and Yinping are different. After a bumpy road, they finally came to the town, and both of them were a little hungry.
Grunts seem to be contagious. When I hear someone else's stomach rumbling, I can't help but follow it.
Hearing two muffled thunder echoing in the middle of the night, Zhou Ji looked at the two people covering their stomachs with flushed faces, looked around as if nothing had happened, and said, "I've been driving all day, and I'm also a little hungry. There is still a noodle restaurant that is not closed, why don't you go and have something to eat first?"
Song Yinzhang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Just follow Mr. Zhou."
The noodle restaurant is not far from the inn. The owner is a middle-aged man who looks simple and honest.
When Zhou Ji and the others entered, the boss was still busy at the stove.
The noodle shop itself is not big, with about five or six tables, two of which already have customers, Zhou Ji glanced at another middle-aged man who was chatting with the boss, and moved his gaze to a charming woman sitting in the corner, Feel a thick wind and dust breath.
Different from Zhou Ji's focus, Song Yinzhang focused on a long thick cloth luggage placed on the woman's table.
Song Yinzhang practiced the pipa since he was a child, and he could tell at a glance that this thick cloth bag was specially sewn to hold the pipa.
And this woman seems to be from a lowly background just like her.

Many details can be filled in, but the overall outline is skipped in the end. It’s complete, it’s up to everyone to make up the details)
(The last paragraph comes from a certain moment of a certain drama, many people should have watched it, everyone can guess~~)
