Chapter 327: A matter of life and death
"Fourth brother and sister, is there something wrong?" Mrs. Li was more attentive and saw that Su Wenyue was a little absent-minded, so she asked. Mrs. Li also knew about Han Hu's incident the night before, and she sighed in her heart. This Fucheng Things here are really complicated.
Su Wenyue shook her head. Even if there was something wrong, it would be useless to tell Mrs. Li. It would only make everyone flustered: "It's okay, Second Sister-in-law. It's a rare trip to Fucheng. You must take a good look around and see what you like." Just buy it.
The group of people had been shopping for a long time, and Su Wenyue had already booked a room at the restaurant: "Dad, mother, we are all tired after walking around for so long. I have booked a private room at the restaurant. Let's go and rest for a while, have lunch and then go shopping. ”
"Well, it's too expensive to go to the restaurant. How about we just buy something to eat. Anyway, we have eaten enough in the morning and we are not too hungry now." Not only Old Man Han Yang, but also everyone else is like this After all, the troublemaker, the third roommate, couldn't come because Han Lin was injured. They were both from farmers' families, so how could they be willing to spend such money.
"It doesn't matter, it's rare to come here on weekdays. You always have to eat, not to mention I have already booked the room." Su Wenyue naturally would not skip this, there is no need at all.
The restaurant that Su Wenyue specially ordered was definitely not bad. The group of people followed Su Wenyue into this luxurious restaurant. It was the first time to eat in such a high-end place. They always felt that they were inferior and were afraid of doing something inappropriate. Behavior, walking cautiously, very cautious.
After entering the private room and the waiter left, everyone relaxed. Mrs. Liu was straight-tempered: "Fourth daughter-in-law, this restaurant is probably the best restaurant in Fucheng. The decoration is so good. This is the first time I have been so rich." It’s such a shameless place.”
Mrs. Liu said with pride and excitement on her face. Looking back, she could show off to the wives in the village, so she went to the best restaurant in Fucheng for dinner.
Su Wenyue smiled and said nothing. Mrs. Liu still had the same temper. Instead, she walked to the window and opened it. This time she didn't feel the prying eyes. Su Wenyue breathed a sigh of relief and glanced out the window. Unexpectedly, She saw a scene that frightened her a little.
This restaurant is the best restaurant in Fucheng. It was built by the best craftsmen in Fucheng. It has three floors. The VIP room Su Wenyue ordered is at the highest position on the third floor, so you can see it at a glance. Looking at the scenery around him, he could also see what was happening around him. In a small alley, in broad daylight, there were actually several officers and soldiers chasing a young man.
Su Wenyue subconsciously turned her body to the side. At this angle, people below could not see her, and she was not afraid of getting into any trouble. However, she was thinking about why these officers and soldiers were chasing this young man. Maybe it was because of this. Because of the elimination of dissidents, this happened too many times. For example, Zhai Li and the others who were taken in by Han Yu were also hunted down by people from the imperial court. In this world, officers and soldiers are not necessarily good people, and those who are pursued are not necessarily good people. Just bad people.
Su Wenyue had been paying attention to the situation below. The young man seemed to have been seriously injured, but he still persisted. He finally escaped from the officers and soldiers and found a place to hide. He probably couldn't hold on anymore.
"Fourth daughter-in-law, what are you looking at? The food is here. Come over and eat together."
When Su Wenyue heard her mother-in-law say this, she responded, took another look at the place where the man was hiding, and then returned to her seat, but she was thinking about what happened to the man? I wonder if it will be life-threatening? After having three little ones, Su Wenyue felt that her heart had softened a lot, or she had some thoughts of accumulating blessings for the children.
After such an episode, Su Wenyue felt a little absent-minded after the meal, but she forgot about her previous feelings. This was also because the feeling of being watched disappeared after entering the restaurant.
In the room opposite the same restaurant, Si Kong Ling also saw what happened below. However, since Wang Mang usurped power, such things happened from time to time in Luan City inside and outside the imperial court. It was not uncommon, not to mention things that had nothing to do with him. Si Kong Ling did not To control. But I didn't expect Su Wenyue to be so sensitive. Even though they were following them very covertly, Su Wenyue could still detect their presence. Su Wenyue's small movements of glancing around from time to time were also noticed by Si Kong Ling.
"Master, do we want to follow you next?" Si Kong Ling's subordinates were also speechless. The master has been following a married woman for a long time, and what he has done before, it is obvious that he is really attracted to this woman. He was worried, this was what puzzled him even more.
If he wants to say that the master is interested in him, it is not a big deal with the power of the Sikong family. He just needs to use some means to get the person. Even though he is a married woman and has some moral violations, it is not a big deal. When aristocratic families do things, in order to achieve their goals, they have done even the most vicious and unethical things, as long as they don't bring it to light.
But the master's attitude made him unable to understand. He had done so much for that woman and got nothing. He didn't even mean to rob her. Just like this time, there was no purpose at all. He was just following her, like a woman. kind of pastime.
Si Kong Ling never cared what others thought, let alone explained to his subordinates, and waved his hand: "No, she looks like that. If she continues to follow her, I'm afraid she will get upset."
Of course, besides this reason, Si Kong Ling also had some concerns. Su Wenyue was protected in the dark by someone from Han Yu, and that person was obviously very capable and almost discovered them several times. Si Kong Ling didn't want to alert the snake. He was now in Yiyang Mansion. I don’t want to let the news out yet.
When Su Wenyue came out of the restaurant, she didn't feel like she was being watched as before. She breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was her intuition, which was a bit illusory, her intuition was always very accurate. What's more, she learned from Han Yu that there was something mysterious. She thinks more when people are moving behind her, so she should naturally be more careful.
When passing by the small alley that she had just seen from upstairs, Su Wenyue paused slightly, struggling a little in her heart. After all, it was none of her business. She was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs and get into trouble. But maybe this was the case. No one can completely ignore a person's life now that he has encountered it, but this is not the time to save someone with his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Su Wenyue thought, the officers and soldiers who had just chased the man were searching the streets all the way. They looked more like bandits when they looked at the people fiercely, which aroused Su Wenyue's disgust. She frowned slightly. Moreover, the military uniforms of these officers and soldiers were Fucheng. Headquarters.
