The Memorabilia of the Detective Case of the Female Doctor Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 24

"Girl, you have seen it too. This yard is really nice. The location is good, and the house is spacious and bright. If you want to start a small business, you can use the house in front of it. The price of 300 taels is such a house, that is You can’t even find it with a lantern.”

Gu Ruo listened to Yabao's promotion in her ear, but occasionally smiled with her lips curled up, without saying a word.As Yabao said, such a courtyard located in a busy city would definitely not be able to take it down without 800 taels.But the asking price for this yard is only three hundred. If things are abnormal, there must be a monster.

Wang Da led Gu Ruo into the courtyard, and didn't listen to bragging about the benefits of this courtyard, but the girl didn't even frown, showing no emotion at all.So does she want it or not?Wang Da became more and more anxious, and was about to speak again, when the little girl asked, "Where did the original family go?"

"Well," Wang Damo wiped his chin, and said with a chuckle, "the owner of this family is named Cui, and his ancestors were also a big and respectable family, but in this area, the head of the Cui family is good at gambling and drinking. He ruined everything. The wife of the Cui family had no choice but to sell this house to pay off the debt. I helped her sell this house as a good deed, after all, it is not easy for a woman to live alone."

Gu Ruo keenly caught some words, and looked at Wang Dao Dao with a half-smile: "A woman living alone? I don't know where her husband is?"

Wang Da almost slapped himself in the face, why did he accidentally tell the truth?As expected of a veteran, Wang Da quickly recovered his thoughts and said with a smile: "Then the Cui family has too many debts and many enemies, so I don't know where he has gone. That's why I said that the Cui family's wife is not easy." what."

"Hehe." Gu Ruo looked around the yard, knowing that the dental guard had something to hide from her, so she walked into the room without trying to expose him.

Wang Da didn't want to go in at first, but he was afraid that the girl would see something, so he went in bravely.Thinking that Cui Bao'er was beaten to death in the bedroom by her own father, Wang Da's body got goosebumps.I don't know if it was his delusion, as soon as he entered the room, he obviously felt a chill, and Wang Da secretly thought it was bad luck.I thought about reciting some Buddhist scriptures to avoid evil, but my mind was empty, so I simply recited 300 taels silently many times, and then I calmed down.

"Miss, you've seen it too. It's very spacious inside. There are also many rooms. Even if your family of a dozen or so can move in, it's no problem."

The room was really spacious, but there was a lot of dust, and there were cobwebs in the corners, but there were no spiders on it.The whole courtyard was empty, without any popularity.

Gu Ruo went out of the room and stood in the yard silently.Seeing that she was standing still, Wang Da always felt a little nervous in his heart. He seemed to have heard that Cui's wife was raped by Cui Baoer before, why did he feel a little bad.

When Wang Dazheng was slandering, Gu Ruo turned around and looked at him with calm eyes: "Let's go."

"Hey" Seeing that she was about to leave without looking back, Wang Da hurriedly chased after her, and said eagerly, "Miss, don't you stop looking? This house is really great!"

Gu Ruo turned around and smiled at him, then suddenly changed his face, and said gloomyly: "The shopkeeper, have you ever heard of a murderous room?"

Wang Da couldn't help feeling guilty when he heard the words, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Miss, what do you mean by this? I have been in this business for so many years, how can I not know what a murderous house is? Could it be that the girl thinks the price is a bit high, if you want it sincerely, the price is good discuss."

Gu Ruo slowly walked up to Wang Da, she was born tall, almost as tall as Wang Da, being looked at by such sharp eyes, Wang Da panicked for no reason, and backed away uncontrollably. a few steps.

"Does the shopkeeper know that if you add some vinegar and sprinkle it on the ground, you can see where there was blood?" Gu Ruo smiled and said, "Don't think that I'm just a woman, shopkeeper. What happened in this yard?" You might as well tell the truth. If you cheat sincerely, do you know that Da Chu will never let the deception of bullying the market go?"

"You girl is really... the old man is such a real person, can he cheat you?" Wang Er was a little impatient, but in the blink of an eye he rounded up his words and went down the donkey road, "How can I deliberately lie to you. Just now, I just wanted to wait for you to see the yard before telling you, so as not to affect your judgment. Actually, it is not a big deal, that is, Mr. Cui is addicted to alcohol, beat his wife and scolded his daughter when he drank. One day he drank again He came back from drinking and beat his daughter. He didn't control his strength and beat his daughter to death. When he saw that someone was killed, he ran away overnight. No one knew where he was now. He left as soon as he left. Who would want to There is still a lot of debt left, so the lady of the Cui family really has no choice, so she wants to sell the yard to pay off the debt. Girl, tell me, I am anxious to sell the yard because I want to help her? Look, I am so good One person, if you really want to sue me for bullying the market or something, you will feel sorry for it. There is no righteousness in business, so if you don’t want this yard, it’s no problem. I still have a few good houses in my hand, although the price is slightly higher. It's more expensive, but it's absolutely innocent, how about I take you to see it now?"

"Boss is very eloquent. According to what you said, I'm too embarrassed to say anything else." Gu Ruo smiled and said, "But I have another question, how did you know that Mr. Cui beat his wife and daughter? ?”

Seeing that she was smiling again, Wang Da felt relieved, and began to speak happily: "Cui Liang beats his wife and scolds his daughter. There is no one in the whole street who doesn't know. Usually he looks at a very gentle person, and he starts to strike." It's really ruthless. You didn't see that Mrs. Cui's face was swollen all year round. The little girl who died in his family was called Cui Baoer. She was seven or eight years old and she was very sensible. Every time she saw me, she had to say hello to Uncle Wang. Tsk tsk It's a pity that he was beaten to death by his father like that."

"No one cares?"

"It's hard for an upright official to take care of family affairs, so how can others take care of them." Wang Tianran said, "Cui Liang is not a thing, but after closing the door, it is his family affairs. It is only Cui Liang who manages the world and manages other people's affairs. My wife's life is not good, and such a man..."

Knowing that it is an atrocity but choosing to turn a blind eye to it is largely acquiescing to the atrocity.What is the meaning of such words while sighing and being indifferent?
Wang Da was still talking, but Gu Ruo didn't want to listen any more, and asked him directly: "Where is the lady of the Cui family now?"

"She rents a small house at the entrance of the city, and sells tofu every day. Why does the girl ask this?"

Gu Ruo tightened the cloak on her body, and went out of the yard without turning her head: "What else can I do, if I want to buy a yard, can't I meet the original owner?"

There is a new tofu shop opened at the entrance of Chang'an Market in Kyoto, which also sells tofu curds, dried tofu, and tofu nao. The food is delicious, the price is reasonable, and the business is not bad.

As the new year approaches, more people buy tofu. Many merchants and mansions have ordered whole cubes of tofu, and the wife of the Cui family is really busy.

This is a small workshop, with a stall outside the door, and a few square tables and low stools next to it, selling breakfast from time to time.A stove was built in the house, and the woman added firewood while scooping brine to make tofu.This is what Gu Ruo saw when he came in.

Wang Da flicked his sleeves to chase away the steam, and happily said to the lady: "Miss Cui, this girl is going to buy your house!"

The woman stirred the bean juice in the pot, raised her hand to wipe off her sweat, and said in a muffled voice: "Then let's sell it. Go out and wait for a while, I'll go out after pressing the tofu."

Gu Ruo didn't urge her, and followed Wang Da to the stall and sat down.Wang Da got up and poured a bowl of hot tea from the booth, pushed it in front of Gu Ruo, and said with a smile, "Mrs.

"It's okay."

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the woman came out of the house, wiped her hands on the apron again and again, and said to Gu Ruo in a low voice: "Something happened to my house, girl, have you figured it out?"

"Hi!" It's true that which pot should not be opened and which pot should be carried. Afraid that Gu Ruo would change his mind, Wang Da hurriedly said, "The girl knows everything, and she has thought it through carefully. Madam Cui, don't worry about it."

The woman was only in her thirties, but her eyes were not bright, her face was expressionless, and she looked dumb.Walking dead, such a word suddenly popped up in Gu Ruo's mind, presumably because of the blows he suffered in the past few days.

"I've already decided to buy it. I didn't bring so much money with me today. How about I bring it to my sister tomorrow?" Gu Ruo softly said to her, and then to Wang Dao, "Then I have to trouble the boss to be a witness. Go through the formalities."

Wang Daxi responded happily: "No problem."

The woman looked up at Gu Ruo, her face was pale and bloodless, her cyanotic lips opened and closed: "When will the girl go to live?"

Gu Ruo looked at her hands in a daze, and replied truthfully: "I won't live there now, I will wait for the next spring to repair it before going there."

"Spring, it's almost here." The woman grabbed her slightly trembling hand, said something nonsensical, and then stopped making a sound.

"Well, the matter is settled like this. Girl, you should pay a deposit of ten taels or twenty taels first. It's not that I don't believe you, but there are rules in our business." Wang Da grinned and smiled with Gu Ruo.

"Okay." Gu Ruo took out her purse, counted ten taels of silver and gave it to Wang Da, then told him, "Boss, if you have nothing to do, go back first, I still have something to say to this sister."

General Wang put away the money, and gave Gu Ruo a mortgage certificate, and walked away briskly without saying a word.The woman looked down at her hands, neither asked what Gu Ruo wanted to say, nor walked into the house, just stood there blankly.Her thin body was shivering from the cold wind, but she didn't seem to notice it, she just moved her fingers again and again.

Gu Ruo couldn't bear to look at her like this, but there was no pity in her eyes, and she asked softly, "I don't know how I should call my sister?"

The woman moved her hands faster, turned her bloodshot eyes to Gu Ruo, and after a long time she said, "Just call me Ping Niang."

"Ping Niang," Gu Ruocai opened his mouth softly seeing her relaxed attitude, "Do you have heart palpitations and chest tightness recently?"
