Chapter 219 Preserved Egg and Lean Pork Porridge (3)

The young ladies imprisoned here don’t know why they were brought here inexplicably.

Not far away, another little lady in a blue dress answered: "I just remember going out with my family on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I bought delicious silver candies and beautiful masks to play with. I don’t remember anything as I walk!”

Although being locked up here is indeed a bit scary, when someone speaks, the sound can probably drive away people's panic. As soon as these words are spoken, there is a lot of responses.

"I also went out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I couldn't remember it as I walked," another young lady answered, "I will be here when I wake up and see everyone!"

Most of the young ladies here were brought here during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but not all of them are like this.

In the response, someone's voice rang out.

"I...I'm not!"

The voice was a little weak, and many of the young ladies who spoke out turned their heads to look at the person who spoke.

Since they were captured, except for eating, drinking and defecating, those people have never cared about them. I don’t know how many days I haven’t washed myself, so naturally my whole body looked dirty.

The young lady who spoke out raised her head and looked at everyone, but she was messier than most young ladies, and even had a lot of mud on her body. Her face was pale, and the look on her face was more confused than everyone else's. , but full of despair.

"I was caught earlier than you," the young lady grinned. Because of this action, it seemed as if some wound was involved, she let out a breath of cold air and said, "still... …and tried to run through it!”

There was more than one like her, and there was also the little lady next to her who also had injuries on her face.

"Zhenggoyoufang in the east of the city belongs to my family," the young lady said with a bitter smile. She looked at the young lady beside her who was also injured and said, "This is Madam Chang from Changji Mipu!"

Although Zhenggoyoufang and Changji Rice Shop are not big industries in Chang'an City, you still need to buy oil and rice for daily food and drink. These two shops have been open for many years, so many people know about them.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the young lady who was captured immediately said: "I came to your house to buy oil for my grandma!"

Someone on the side immediately answered: "My family has bought rice from Changji Mipu for many years!"

"What my family eats is also your family's rice!" Another young lady said.

"And my family, my family even bought oil!"

…

The exchange of words between you and me should be joyful, but the little ladies really can’t laugh!

Looking at the dimly lit dark room and thinking about the menacing look of the person who came to deliver the food, a sense of confusion that I don't know where to go came to my mind.

This confusion completely turned into despair and fear after hearing what Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chang had said.

Compared with these young ladies who were kidnapped at the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in a daze, the ladies from the Chen family and the Chang family were kidnapped here clearly.

One is a destined person who picked up a handkerchief, and the other is a hero who saves a beautiful girl. However, their family background seems to be carved from the same mold. In the end, everything turned into an elopement.

"Like Mrs. Chang, I packed up the gold and silver, sent my maidservant, and eloped with that...that evil ghost in human skin!" When Mrs. Chen said this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Then...then the evil ghost took us to see those villains!"

No matter how stupid they were, when they saw the fierce-looking big man, the two of them noticed something was wrong. Why did they elope to see such a big man?

"We were gagged, blindfolded, and thrown here with our hands and feet tied!" Mrs. Chen's wife said, "We were very scared, so naturally we wanted to escape."

"Once, when we heard that the guards outside were silent, we thought no one was there, so we tried to open the door, but the bad guys saw and beat us up!" When Mrs. Chen said this, she couldn't help sobbing again. , "Even during the beating, if those gentlemen weren't so kind, they would have sold us to Goulan Yuan to earn a sum of money and then sent us there!"

As soon as these words came out, the dark room became quiet, and after a while, the sounds of sobbing began one after another.

He was lucky not to be sold to the Goulan Courtyard, but the meaning behind those villains' words could be understood even by a fool.

Who are "those masters" and what are they doing?

Mrs. Chen's wife and Mrs. Chang's wife who spoke were even more upset: Thinking about a month ago, they were still dreaming about those beautiful stories in the story books, and when they really happened to themselves, they realized what kind of handsome man he was. He was clearly an evil ghost in human skin.

"If you think about it carefully, it's not a good story that Sima Xiang eloped with Zhuo Wenjun! Zhuo Wenjun was a good daughter, but he followed him and was reduced to selling wine as a pawn! It's obvious that he is enduring hardship, where is the good thing?" Mrs. Chen's wife At this point, the tears couldn't stop falling, "I don't know if I can see my father and mother again. I miss my father and mother!"

The wife of the Chang family also began to lower her head and cry: "I still have a marriage, and the other party is not easy to get along with. I am afraid that my father and mother will be even more worried now..."

…

Madam Chang’s wife is worried!

Not long after everyone left Dali Temple in the morning, the Chang family came to Dali Temple with a mother and son.

Since Lin Fei, Liu Yuan, Wei Fu and others were absent, Bai Zhu, the only one who stayed in Dali Temple, naturally had to come forward.

This time the Chang family came to ask about the case.

Bai Zhu naturally knew what to say and what not to say. He smiled and chatted with a few people, but he didn't reveal anything about the case.

The case was transferred from Jingzhao Mansion to Dali Temple. Moreover, the news of the disappearance of the young ladies had already spread in the city. Naturally, the Chang family knew that the perpetrator was unusual. At this time, they would not disturb the officials of Dali Temple for no reason to investigate the case. .

I had to come this time, but it was because I was pestered so hard by the mother and son.

Mother and son Bai Zhutong had barely said a few words before the old lady sat down on the ground with a "pop" and started wiping her tears and started howling.

The commotion was so loud that Tang Yuan and A Bing couldn't help but ran to watch for a while. When they came back, they said to Wen Mingtang: "When I went there, I saw the old lady sitting on the ground and acting wildly. He was howling loudly, and his eyes were darting around, looking like he was a shrewd person who knew what to do!"

"Originally, I thought she was worried about Mrs. Chang, but what's wrong with her?" Tangyuan said to Wen Mingtang, her eyes widened with a look of disbelief on her face, "She just wants to corrupt Chang with her behavior." The family’s money!”

Wen Mingtang, who was cutting vegetables, paused and looked at Tangyuan in confusion: "What do you mean? How did she extort money from the Chang family?"

Tangyuan said: "She said that her son is Mrs. Chang's engaged husband."

My engaged husband! Thinking of Miss Chang's behavior of eloping with others, although she suffered a lot, this behavior was inappropriate after all.

Wen Mingtang thought for a while and was noncommittal.

Wen Mingtang's reaction was also within Tang Yuan's expectations, and Tang Yuan added: "Of course it's not right for Miss Chang to elope with the same person. She brought this trouble on herself, but there is something hidden in this so-called fiancé thing!"
