Fight the Giants

  Chapter 178 Hard to find a trace

  Huo Xi has been thinking about looking for nurse Zhou for half a year.

  In order not to startle the snake, I kept holding back. Even though he was very anxious, he didn't show anything on his face. At night, every time I think of the scene where the nanny took her and Nian'er to flee, I vividly remember it.

  Dreams come back every night, thinking of the nanny who doesn't know life and death, and can't fall asleep for a long time.

"My mother has a cousin sister. I heard that she was a nanny in a big family. We originally planned to take advantage of it, but we didn't expect that the family said that there was no such person. I heard that they made a mistake and were sold. We were sold because of some The reason, I can't ask. Can you help us find it?"

   Shen Qian nodded in agreement.

  After asking to clarify the situation, I took a look at Huo Xi: "If it is difficult to break through from her side, do you want to change someone? For example, what kind of family does she have, what is her origin, is there an old one in Beijing?"

Huo Xi thought for a while: "Her man's name is Wu Dayou. He used to be the shopkeeper of Dingjing Embroidery Shop in Sanyuan Lane, but I went to see him, and he is no longer there. He is about twenty-six or seventeen years old. He has a Son, half a year older than me. See if you can find Wu Dayou through the old man in that embroidery shop, and then find Zhou's through Wu Dayou?"

  Shen Qianzhong nodded after listening: "Okay, it's easy to have a first name and a surname. There will always be traces."

  Huo Xi heaved a sigh of relief: "When you inquire, be more subtle. It's best not to let people know that you are looking for them."

"clear."

  Shen Qianzhong was entrusted by Huo Xi, and she was very dedicated.

   When discussing business in the inner city, I deliberately approached the embroidery shop and asked for news about Wu Dayou under the name of Huang Zi who came to discuss business.

   After more than half a month, there is no useful information at all. No one in the store, from the shopkeeper to the clerk, knew anyone from Wu Dayou.

  Shen Qianzhong felt a little puzzled. A shopkeeper changed, maybe because the person in power changed, but did all the staff also change?

   Asked the merchants who supplied it, but did not know the former shopkeeper Wu Dayou.

   This is so strange. If the person is changed, does the supplier and all business partners also change?

   What mistake did you make to be wiped so clean? Shen Qianzhong was more careful and subtle when inquiring, for fear of causing trouble to his boss.

   After lingering in Sanyuan Lane for a long time, I finally found out some clues in the surrounding shops of Dianjing Embroidery Shop.

   There are a few shops next door that have been around for a long time, on the same street, and you can’t see them when you look down. Everyone knows which shop sells what and what the shopkeeper’s name is. The new shopkeeper has only changed for half a year, and some people still remember Wu Dayou.

   Then someone said that Wu Dayou left Beijing in a hurry with his son. I heard that he went back to his hometown.

   Where is your hometown?

   One shopkeeper thought about it for a long time, and only said that it was from Liuhe Town. As for which township and village, I don't know.

  When Huo Xi got the news, he sat there for a long time.

  She was also very angry with herself. The nanny was her mother's companion. She had been married to Wu Dayou for so many years, and Wu Dayou helped her mother manage the dowry shop. Why didn't she ask where his family was from?

  Liuhe is so big, how can I find it?

   "I have also inquired about various dental offices in the capital, and stuffed a lot of money. I saw the records of the human dental office for the past six months, but I didn't see Zhou's name."

   "Is there none?"

  The nanny was not caught by them, but escaped? Could it be that he and his nanny are living a stable life in the countryside of Liuhe?

  Huo Xi immediately became happy.

   Within two breaths, he paused again. There were so many people in the village chasing him back then, but if they didn't catch up with him, then everyone must have gone after the nanny. Caught, maybe not for sale, but for...

  Huo Xi shuddered, not daring to think deeply.

   "Where is Zhuangzi, have you ever made an unannounced visit?"

   "Yes. But no one knows the nanny named Zhou."

  Huo Xi's eyes darkened. Mrs. Wang's work is tight, and the people in the village should all be replaced. She should have thought of it earlier.

  Usually seeing Huo Xidu with a full of energy, now seeing her as a small person with a look of sadness on her face, Shen Qianzhong couldn't bear it: "How about I go to Liuhe for another unannounced visit?"

  Huo Xi shook his head: "Liuhe Town is so big, and there are various towns and villages below, so it's not easy to find someone. You don't have to go there specially. If you usually go there, just pay more attention and ask."

   "Yes. Then I usually pay more attention, and then go to Sanyuan Lane to walk more, maybe those neighbors in the neighborhood can recall something else."

   "Well, thank you for your hard work."

   Shen Qianzhong went to Sanyuan Lane in the inner city more often. No matter how secretive and careful he was, someone still reported it to Wu Youcai, and Wu Youcai was very happy when he heard it.

   It just so happened that the money ran out. So he went to Xinchenghou's mansion. Without waiting for the gatekeeper's report, he swaggered into the mansion.

  Ms. Wu was taken aback when he heard him add fuel and vinegar for a long time. Ask carefully about the situation, and rest assured.

   It's just looking for Wu Dayou, another man, maybe an old business partner, or an acquaintance. Don't take it to heart.

  Wu Youcai didn't worry about it either, he just found an excuse and came to ask for some money to spend.

  Wu gave him two hundred taels of silver notes and sent him away.

   After the others left, I didn't worry about this matter. She was distressed because of Master Hou's letter scolding her.

  I thought Lord Hou would return to Beijing for the New Year this year, but he never even sent someone to give a New Year gift.

I also heard Mrs. Tai say that Master Hou might be transferred back to Beijing this year, and I was very happy. She is a Mrs. Hou who has no grades and no orders. .

  If Master Hou comes back, she has someone to support her, how can anyone in Beijing look down on her.

  Besides, Master Hou is alone in Beidi, and there are several Yingyingyanyans sent by Mrs. Tai by his side. If a bunch of sons come out and are raised by him, what will happen to her Xie'er?

   In a hurry. I was looking forward to seeing Hou Ye transferred back to Beijing.

   I didn't know that I heard Mrs. Tai say that Master Hou has accepted the order and is still staying in Beidi.

  She was dumbfounded when she heard it. Immediately wrote an affectionate letter and sent it to Beidi, saying that her daughter missed him, and Xie'er missed him too.

   She also complained about how hard it was for her and Mrs. Tai to support Nuoda’s Hou Mansion. It would be great if she had a grade.

  It was a thick and affectionate letter, with tears of missing her still falling on the letter. I just hoped that Lord Hou would feel pity for her after reading the letter.

   I never thought but received a reprimand letter from Lord Hou.

  The express hints to her in the letter pretended not to be seen, and only asked her to raise her children attentively, saying that he knew it well.

   There are numbers, what numbers are there? Wu's back molars were almost broken.

  That person and her children are dead, so you still miss her? She forbids it!
