Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

Chapter 141

"Seventh Aunt, they are so bad. I am so scared when I think about so many children being abducted into brothels or sent to the palace." When Shen Lingzhu was growing up, she could learn a lot of useful knowledge from the Internet.

Everyone knows what brothels do. It is a place that eats people, and the speed at which the palace eats people is even faster.

She was also scared when the Dalang store was robbed. If something had gone wrong at that time, her side might not have won.

"Don't be afraid, the adults are here." Ren didn't actually see that she was afraid at all.

Shen Lingzhu took the water she handed over and drank it in one gulp. She said, "No, I have to find out where the big cat is. I must catch him and not let him harm anyone again."

"Hey..." Just as Ren picked up the kettle and poured her half a cup of water, Shen Lingzhu had already grabbed the scissors for cutting and ran into the yard.

She glanced at the few people outside the door who were still crowded to watch the excitement, then looked away and asked her eldest brother if he could find out anything.

Erlu's mouth became tight at this moment, which meant he didn't know.

Shen Xianzhu and the other man were unable to pry out more information, but Shen Lingzhu was willing to try again.

Her method was very simple. She simply pulled out a pair of scissors and pressed them against Erlu's belly button.

He also said, "I can move the scissors down further, do you want to try?"

"I, I..." Why did this little villain know so much, and why didn't the adults in her family come forward?

"Speak up! Otherwise I'll really do it." Da Huai snatched the scissors from Shen Lingzhu's hand and asked, "What are you cutting off?"

Erlu watched him scissor back to his lower abdomen, feeling that he really dared to cut, so he gritted his teeth and said, "He is working as a temporary worker at the post station ten miles outside the city."

"now what?"

"It should still be there."

"The post station ten miles outside the east gate?"

"Yes, there's a man inside who's a distant cousin of the big cat."

"Then, is it possible that he was injured?" Dahuai could hear that the so-called post station was the one they passed by on the way here, where several people died.

Shen Lingzhu discovered that Erlu was eavesdropping and immediately added, "Don't get close to the officials at the post station. He won't be able to withstand a pound of force."

But she agreed in her heart with what Uncle Dahuai said, "Erlu, you'd better tell the truth.

Otherwise, we would not have returned to Baozhou to report the case, and let you be sentenced in Pingding County and then exiled to a border county adjacent to the Tartars."

Shen Lingzhu was not sure whether it was a real punishment. What punishment would be given for kidnapping children in ancient times? Would the person be beheaded?

She couldn't help but look at her eldest brother, who shook his head at her, indicating that he couldn't put himself before the public at the moment.

"Since it's related to the post station, should we notify Zhang Tongzhi?"

"Yes, but we have to wait for Zhang Xiaobing to come back.

Then he'll go to the company commander." Shen Lingzhu naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bully others.

But they waited and waited, but no officers showed up to take the person away for a long time.

In addition, Erlu kept crying out in pain and his wound was bleeding, so Shen Lingzhu reluctantly gave him medicine and asked his eldest brother to help him apply the medicine.

Qingliu used strong liquor to heal the wound, and Erlu cried out in pain after being stung. The people outside the door were watching happily, and someone even shouted at her to leave him alone and let him die.

Just as they were making a commotion, the shopkeeper came with the officers to arrest someone, and behind them was Xia Xing, who had not been seen for a long time.

But everyone had no time to say goodbye and asked him to find Zhang Xiaobing as there was an important matter.

After the eldest brother accompanied the police to take Erlu away and Xia Xing left, only Shen Lingzhu and Ren were left in the yard.

The latter said: "Just now"

……

"Little sister, just turn another corner and we'll be home." The tall and thin teenager kept lowering his head and whispered to the little girl in Taoist robes.

He tugged at the bag on his shoulder and said soothingly, "Dad is on duty at the government office right now, and he didn't know we were coming back early, but we'll see him tonight.

Mom is waiting for you at home. When she sees you, she will be so happy that she will cry tears of joy.

Before I went to pick you up, she always told Mrs. Gu to buy two pounds of fresh ribs and stew them every day so that you could have a delicious meal when you got home.

And your second sister has prepared a lot of little things for you."

"Yeah." The little girl was not very young, only eight years old. Shen Lingzhu looked up and smiled at him, then quickly lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, the elder brother kept telling her that everyone in the family was preparing to welcome her, and she almost knew the words by heart.

Or when it was the first time he took his sister home alone, he always tried to be considerate.

Just as they were about to get home after getting off the carriage and taking a few steps, her brother bent down and handed her a handkerchief: "You must be tired from walking. Wipe your sweat. This year's dog days are hotter than in previous years, and the afternoon is the hottest time of the year.

How about you let me carry the little thing you were carrying?"

"I'm not hot, big brother. Xiaobai is not hot either." Shen Lingzhu mobilized the weak vitality in his body to circulate around his body, which was also able to ward off the heat a little. The little white goose in the backpack stuck its head out and clucked twice in response.

She smiled at her eldest brother Shen Xianzhu and raised her face, spreading her palms: "Look, no sweat."

Shen Xianzhu couldn't take her friend away, so she had no choice but to carefully check and put away the handkerchief, "It's time to turn the corner, the first one is..."

As the two of them turned the corner, the red seal on the door of the first house at the entrance of the alley glared into their eyes.

"This?" Shen Xianzhu hurried over and did not forget to grab his sister's sleeve to keep a close eye on her.

Shen Lingzhu blinked again and again, trying to remain calm on her round little face, with the words "I never expected this" flashing in her mind.

Just as she was about to take a closer look at which government office the seal belonged to, her eldest brother grabbed her hand and ran to the next door to knock on it.

The teenager calmed down, took a deep breath and prepared to speak, but the doorman next door opened the door and saw that it was him, and quickly closed the door without saying a word.

Shen Xianzhu was almost hit in the face by the door and was stunned on the spot. Was the incident at home very serious?

"Brother, let's go to another house." After Shen Lingzhu reminded him, he quickly knocked on a door.

This time it was the host who opened the door, and he was more friendly. He told them that yesterday afternoon, their father Shen Huai was dismissed from his job, all the family property and assets were confiscated, and the emperor ordered him to return to his hometown.

Due to the circumstances, people are not very clear about the matter, or they don’t want to say more.

Before the two siblings left, they learned from someone that their mother had a miscarriage and was seeking medical treatment at Jirentang.

"Mom is about to give birth!" Shen Xianzhu's eyes turned red with anger. He grabbed his sister's wrist and walked quickly.

There were many pedestrians on the street, so his speed was restricted. Fortunately, Jirentang was not too far away.

However, when the two went in to ask, the doctor told them that just half an hour ago, officials had escorted their family out of the city.

They turned to chase him, but the waiter ran out of the counter and stopped him to ask for money, saying that his family still owed one or two taels of silver for the medicine. "You don't know when you will return to Beijing, why don't you pay it back first?"

Seeing her elder brother take out a piece of silver and stuff it into someone's pocket before leaving, Shen Lingzhu immediately broke free from his hand and turned back, saying, "Please settle the bill and give me the change."

Although she didn't know the size of one tael and two qian of silver, this piece of money was from when she paid the fare before and the driver said he couldn't make change for two taels of silver.

Now that the family property has been lost, money is needed. Her parents understand that her eldest brother is anxious, but money cannot be wasted.
