Jia Silian endured the pain and got up.

"Nothing, I...I'll go take a look..."

As she said that, she picked up her skirt and chased after her, but it was already too late when she caught up. She ran across a street and at the end, she saw only a carriage driving away in the distance. People on the street were talking about it. Jia Silian Ask the hawker setting up a stall on the roadside,

"What's going on?"

The hawker cheered,

"Hey... I heard that a wealthy family was arresting escaped slaves. They said that the woman was the cook in their house. Because she stole the master's money when purchasing, she was discovered, so she ran away and was protected by the family. The hospital arrested her..."

"Cook?"

Jia Silian knew that this must be nonsense. Madam Liu was obviously the steward of the ice shop. When did she become the cook?

Thinking of Mrs. Liu asking me to report to the official, and then mentioning the ice cellar, I couldn't help but feel secretly in my heart.

"Is it because of the dead bodies in the ice cellar?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked,

"Do you know which house came out to arrest the person?"

The hawker shook his head,

"There are so many wealthy families in this capital, who knows which one they belong to!"

Jia Silian stood there and stared for a long time, then turned around and went back to Yanghua Hutong.

"Fourth sister, what's wrong?"

Wu Lian came up to meet him, Jia Silian shook his head, still surprised and doubtful in his heart.

"Who was Madam Liu arrested by? If she was arrested, what happened to the fat shopkeeper?"

Thinking of this place, I still couldn't stay still, so I hurriedly said to Wulian,

"Fifth sister, you guys guard the stall, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, she ran away, but she ran straight to the ice shop three streets away. When she ran out of the ice shop out of breath, she saw that the door of the shop was closed tightly, with a sign on it saying "My boss has something to do, so we will not open the shop temporarily." of words.

Jia Silian thought for a while and turned to the alley at the back. The old woman who guarded the back door lived here. She was guarding the door in the shop because she wanted to be close to home. She went over and took a picture of the old woman's door. After a while, the old woman came out to answer the question. Door, I saw it was her strange way,

"Si Lian, why are you here?"

Jia Silian asked,

"Mother-in-law, I...I'll come over and take a look..."

The old woman suddenly realized,

"You want to come here to find work..."

After a pause, he shook his head and said,

"I'm afraid this shop won't be able to open for a while..."

Jia Silian's heart sank,

"What's wrong?"

The old woman responded,

"Something happened at the shopkeeper's house..."

"What happened?"

Speaking of this, the old lady shook her head repeatedly, tut-tutting, feeling regretful.

"The shopkeeper's family is really having a bad time. We worked half a day and then went home. In the evening, I heard that all the shopkeeper's family were dead..."

"Dead!"

Jia Silian screamed in shock,

"Dead...how did you die?"

The old woman said,

"I heard that they bought poisonous mushrooms outside, and a family of seven made soup. The two shopkeepers, their husband and wife, their two children, the two women doing the work and the old man guarding the door, none of them ran away!"

When Jia Silian heard this, she felt a chill on her back, and a chill rose from her heart, so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.

"Did he really die from eating poisonous mushrooms? Didn't anyone from the government come to do an autopsy?"

The old woman responded,

"Why didn't you come... The old lady went to watch the fun... The shopkeeper's family vomited black blood from their mouths, their eyes widened, and they refused to close their eyes... That's scary!"

"What about people now?"

The old woman said,

"The whole family is dead. The shopkeeper's nephew came from Zhangjiawan to collect the bodies and buried them..."

"Then...what about Mrs. Liu?"

Jia Silian asked with a trembling voice,

"Ms. Liu?"

The old lady thought for a while,

"I saw her that day, but I saw no one after that. I heard that... the shopkeeper died, and the owner couldn't find suitable people for a while, so he asked Madam Liu to take charge of the shop first.

I'm going to my employer to pay the bill!"

"My boss...who is my boss?"

The old woman shook her head,

"I don't know. Usually the shopkeeper and Mrs. Liu are in charge of things. How can I, the old gatekeeper, know?"

Jia Silian wanted to ask more questions, but the old woman couldn't understand the answer. It's not her fault. Jia Silian stayed in that shop for some days. On weekdays, she was indeed the shopkeeper and Madam Liu in charge. It was said that the owner's family was very wealthy, so how could he let it go so easily?

People like them know.

Jia Silian bid farewell to the old lady and turned back to Yanghua Hutong. Along the way, her face turned pale and her heart was in confusion.

"The death of the shopkeeper and his family is by no means that simple. Madam Liu was also taken away. Who was the person who captured her... Madam Liu asked me to report to the official... and also said that the person in the ice cellar..."

Jia Silian vaguely guessed that the things in the ice cellar must have been involved in the matter. The shopkeeper was probably silenced, and Mrs. Liu was probably not spared if she was arrested. Suddenly she was startled and stopped suddenly.

"Only the three of us know about this matter. The shopkeeper is dead and Mrs. Liu has been arrested. Will she... will she... tell me?"

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Jia Silian's back,

"The person who captured Madam Liu knew right away that she was not easy to mess with... What should I do now?"

Jia Silian stood on the street where people were coming and going, looking around in panic. It seemed that there were men in short coats and black hair on their chests everywhere on the street, looking at her from all directions.

"What to do..."

The first thing she thought of was Jia Jincheng,

"I'm going to find my father..."

Thinking of this, she turned around and ran towards the yamen. When she ran to the yamen door panting heavily, she suddenly stopped again.

"The other party had great wealth and power. The shopkeeper and his family died unexpectedly. One of them was cut off by someone from the government and died of accidentally eating a poisonous mushroom. Maybe the government couldn't find any clues, or maybe they just accepted someone's money and deliberately covered up the facts..."

If that's the case, what's the use of searching for your father by yourself?

Dad is just a little bastard. If he fails, his whole family will be like that fat shopkeeper's family. If he eats something by mistake, or there is a thief in the house at night, he will die in an accident.

It’s over!

When Jia Silian thought of this, she felt that not only was her back feeling cold, but her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar, and she was shivering from the cold!

"I can't find my father...then...I...I...I'll find Mr. Mou!"

When she thought of Mou Biao, Jia Silian suddenly felt like she had found someone to rely on, and her panicked heart immediately calmed down.

"Yes! Mr. Xunmu, he is a royal guard. With him here... no matter who is rich and powerful, they will dare to investigate!"

Thinking of this, Jia Silian's body stopped shaking and her feet felt strong. She turned around and ran back to Yanghua Hutong. She hurried home and found the waistband given by Mou Biao in her cabinet. She kept doing this over and over again.

, Xiang Shi saw it and came up to seize him.

"You damn girl, if you're not doing business outside, why are you running back and forth?"

Jia Silian had something on her mind and didn't have the patience to fight with her. She bent her body and dodged away from her hands.

"Mom, I have something urgent. This matter is of great importance. I will talk to you when I come back in the evening!"

Jin Xiang ran out again, stopped at the entrance of the alley, and told Wu Lian,

"If dad comes back, tell him that I have something to tell him about the life of the whole family!"

Wu Lian only had time to nod, and then watched Jia Silian disappear in a flash.

If Jia Silian wanted to go to Lu'er Lane, it would be already dark when she walked to the inner city with just a pair of fleshy feet, so she found a carriage on the street and spent ten copper coins to ask the horseman to rush to the inner city.

He hurried to Mou Mansion. He did not go through the main gate, but went to the corner gate that he had passed before. The gatekeeper there still vaguely remembered Jia Silian. When he saw her taking out the Eighth Young Master's badge, he did not hesitate and immediately sent a small
