Chapter 123 The news we found is not good
"Brother Zheng, what are you doing?"
Su Rongrong asked this, but her hand opened the door that had just been closed.
Baili Zheng came back on horseback. He was very tired after traveling for several days.
As soon as he entered the city, he didn't even go home, he just came here.
Seeing Su Rongrong open the door, he threw the reins to Dahu and entered the yard first.
Da Hu didn't follow in, but walked away holding the reins.
Seeing that everyone was very tired, Su Rongrong turned her head and whispered to Tao Ya:
"Taoya, Brother Zheng should still be hungry. Help me get him something to eat, I'll go see what's going on.
I always feel that there should be news about my mother and the others."
Tao Ya has been with Su Rongrong all this time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are together day and night.
In addition, I have been setting up stalls in the county town for so long, and I have gained some experience.
Seeing that the person didn't come back with him, and seeing Baili Zheng's expression, there must be a big problem.
So at this moment she nodded and comforted him, “Okay, I’ll go right away.
Rongrong, don't worry. You told me before that you have made preparations for the worst, right?
Since the worst outcome is just that, what else is unbearable?"
Su Rongrong took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, you have a point."
As she spoke, she walked towards the main room with an expression as if she was determined to cut off her own arm.
Baili Zheng was already sitting inside, propping up his eyelids with his two index fingers to prevent himself from falling asleep due to drowsiness.
Su Rongrong came in and felt both distressed and amused seeing him like this.
Baili Zheng's eyes were completely dazed.
Even though he holds up his eyelids and appears to have his eyes open, it's actually no different from being asleep.
He didn't even notice Su Rongrong entering the room.
"Brother Zheng?"
Su Rongrong walked up to him and called out.
He still maintained that posture, without any reaction.
Su Rongrong took his two index fingers off his eyelids and shook him again.
"Brother Zheng, wake up. If you are really sleepy, go back to sleep first.
If there is anything, we can talk about it in a few days."
At the moment, it doesn't look like good news. She can wait two days to find out!
Baili Zheng woke up after being shaken by her.
Although my mind is still in a state of confusion, I still remember what I should do.
When he reached out to rub his temple, Su Rongrong poured a glass of water from the space and handed it to him.
He took it and drank it in one gulp before saying, "Rongrong, the news I found out is not good.
Su Ye is not in the capital city now, and all the properties under his name have been sold.
Including shops, houses and so on.
In other words, he sold all his real estate.
Obviously he had already made plans to leave here.
Afterwards, I checked his network of connections in the capital and learned that he had taken his family and traveled north with a caravan to do business.
Of course, Anling is also to the north of the Daque Dynasty, so perhaps it went there.
At the moment, I haven’t checked there. I have to wait for news from my father.
I heard from the servants who were sold because he couldn't take them away that they didn't know about your mother's existence.
As for Jinhui, he sold it two years ago.
Then I checked Jinhui’s buyers, and guess what?
This bastard sold Jinhui to a men's brothel."
At this point, Baili Zheng slammed the table in anger.
The table was just ordinary material and was quite old.
After he slapped it like that, cracks immediately appeared.
Su Rongrong didn't care about the table at all. When she heard that Jinhui was sold to a men's brothel, she stood up quickly.
Her voice trembled unconsciously as she asked, "Where is that person? Can't you bring him back?
How much money is required over there? Don't you even give your family face?"
It was sold the year before last. How old was Jinhui at that time?
But seven years old?
It’s better not to let her meet the beast Su Ye, otherwise she will definitely skin him alive!
"I also want to bring him back, but he is not in the city now.
It is said that he was lucky because he was assigned to do sweeping work because he was too young.
Once when he was sweeping the yard, he saved a scholar who was being plotted against.
I heard that the person comes from a well-off family and lives in another place. He just returned to his hometown to take part in the autumn exam.
He was plotted against because he exposed his talent in front of others and aroused jealousy.
In order to repay the life-saving grace, he bought Jinhui and kept him by his side.
Now that I have passed the exam, shouldn’t I leave right away?”
When Su Rongrong heard this, she was not reassured, but became even more worried.
"So Jinhui was taken away by him like that? Did he never think of coming back?
No, given the situation at home, he was probably afraid to come back.
Maybe you will feel that coming back is like walking into a trap.
So I just followed that person and left!
But Brother Zheng, have you checked where that scholar is from?
I want to buy Jinhui back!"
Even though her brother was the other person's savior, there was no reason for him to be someone's servant.
What if some master dislikes him and he is killed in secret without even knowing it?
So, it’s better to get it back.
You can only feel at ease when someone is by your side.
The child is so young, and having experienced all this, I don’t know what he will feel.
She had to get him back as soon as possible and tell him that his brothers and sisters at home all loved and cared for him.
I don’t want this to leave any psychological trauma on him!!
What Su Rongrong can think of, Baili Zheng can naturally think of as well.
When he heard her ask for the address, he sighed and looked at her with regret.
“We did find out, but it’s the same as not finding out.
The man's name was Chen Guangping, with the courtesy name Boqing, and his ancestral home was in Muyang Prefecture.
Starting from our father’s generation, we moved to Funing Prefecture.
However, Funing Prefecture had suffered a disaster before, and the people were displaced, so it was difficult to find someone at this time."
When Su Rongrong heard about Funing Mansion, she was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said:
"Now I have nothing else to hope for but that he is still alive.
I hope that one day, the siblings can be reunited!"
My mother was not found, but my brother was found, but it was as if he was not found.
To be honest, she doesn't even know if those two people are still alive.
Su Ye was so crazy and her mother had such a strong personality. After being taken away, it was very likely that both of them would perish together.
And Jinhui, the disaster in Funing Prefecture was so serious that everyone was fleeing the disaster area at that time.
In such a situation, the master might really abandon these servants.
Even if Jinhui has done someone a favor, who would care about a small favor when it comes to life?
Therefore, you will most likely be the one being abandoned!
But he is only nine years old this year and will not be ten years old until next May.
At such a young age, being alone outside is tantamount to seeking death!
Thinking about this, Su Rongrong felt upset.
While the two were silent, Tao Ya came in with a bowl of noodle dumplings.
She handed the noodles to Baili Zheng, then pulled Su Rongrong aside and asked about the situation in a low voice.
After learning everything, she was silent for a long time.
It was not until Baili Zheng had finished his noodles that she said:
"Rongrong, last year our county town received so many disaster victims, many of whom were from Funing Prefecture.
Why don't you go ask if there's anyone you know?"
