Otherworldly Merchant

Li Mazi listened to me and shouted at him for a long time: "Brother, I find that since I got mixed up with you, the whole person has become insane. ”

I glanced at him and said, "What did you hear about the death of Mrs. Ray's second son? ”

”'It's been a long time,' said Li Mazi. 'There are several kinds of results you can find out, but you don't know which one is real or which one is fake...

I hummed softly: "You went out for a run, you got a little information back? Half of them are fictitious. ”

Li Mazi muttered with dissatisfaction: "Brother, you can't say that. Xi 'an is not my place. I'm not familiar with it. It's not easy to find out. Next time you go ask..."

I patted him on the shoulder: "For all your hard work, I'll buy you a big dinner tonight! ”

“Really?” Li Mazi glanced at him: “Then I'll tell you one more thing enough to add two meat dishes. I heard someone. ”

“Who?” Seeing Li Mazi recover into that mysterious ghost, I didn't realize I was lowering my voice.

Li Mazi whispered: “I bought an elderly man at the corner of the street for a cup of tea. He told me that he met an old woman who was a current member of the Lei family a few days ago. This man, like me, was named Lee. He spent his whole life at the Lei family. Last year, because of his age, his sons and daughters cared about her, so they took her out and raised her. I heard that the Lei family gave her a lot of money. ”

I got a speechless look.

Li Mazi hastily explained: “I didn't think about the money this time. I think that since she has done things in Lei's family all her life, then she must know something that some outsiders don't know, so yeah...” Li Mazi deliberately sold a close and looked at me with pride. She seemed to be waiting for my confirmation and praise.

I had to turn a white eye: "Well done! You're in charge of ordering tonight! ”

Li Mazi was satisfied: “That's about it.” As I said, I took a note out of my pocket with an address phone: “I said a lot of good words to convince the old man that I was not a bad person and told me the old lady's current address.” At the end of the day, Li Mazi sent an outcry: “How much time have I been delayed by this look in my life? ”

I couldn't help laughing.

Dinner with Li Mazi, we searched the past according to the address.

It's a very ordinary neighborhood, because at night, there are many elders downstairs in the park who are walking and chatting, very comfortable. Li Mazi and I knocked on the door before we found Aunt Li's house. After a moment, an innocent middle-aged woman opened the door and looked at us with surprise: “Who are you looking for? ”

“Is this Aunt Lee's house where she used to work at Ray's?” I asked politely.

The middle-aged woman nodded quickly: "Who are you? ”

Li Mazi snatched it before me and said: "We are here to help the Lei family solve the problem.” He didn't finish his speech. He saw the woman's face sinking. He said uncomfortably: “My mother-in-law no longer works at Lei's house. Regarding the Lei family, you should never come to her again...” He said, while covering the door with his hands and feet.

The second before the door was about to close, I hurried to stop her and explained politely: “Yes, we are friends of the Governor of the Nine Palaces Mountain Horse, we really had to come and visit...”

The middle-aged woman had not had time to speak, and an old hoarse voice in the house said: "Are you a friend of Ma Dao Chang? Please, sit in the house! ”

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but reluctantly let me and Li Mazi into the house. The house is simple to set up, but the cleaning is spotless and very clean. Sitting on the sofa, a wife with a rugged waist looked friendly. She waved at me and Li Mazi and asked worried, “It's not even 20 years? Is something wrong with Ray's family. ”

What exactly happened back then? What is the path of Ma Dao's repressed demons? Looks like the old Aunt Li does know something.

Fearing to say something, I had to follow her words: “Something did happen and something happened with Ma Dao Chang. He couldn't get here for a moment and a half, so I sent the two of us to find out, and then he came back. ”

Aunt Li nodded: "Woe to me! After all these years, something went wrong.” She said as she told the middle-aged woman on guard: “Daughter-in-law, go and make tea for the two gentlemen, they are all friends of Ma Dao Chang, don't be lazy. ”

The middle-aged woman, though reluctant, dared not disobey her grandmother's words, nodded her head and turned to the kitchen.

I listened to Aunt Li's tone, obviously with great respect to Ma Dao Chang, so much so that we also enjoyed special treatment because we were introduced by Ma Dao Chang. When I think back to the attitude of Ray's family towards Ma Dao Dao, I can't help but wonder, what is the way this friend came at first sight? What if it's longer than a clean slate?

The middle-aged woman brought the tea, very ordinary jasmine tea, Aunt Li apologized and said: “There is no good tea at home to entertain the guests, don't be surprised. ”

I wouldn't even dare.

The middle-aged woman was unhappy to say, "Mom, didn't the doctor tell you to get some rest? What time is it? Why don't you take a break? It's not too late tomorrow. ”

“How can that work? It's about the Lei family, it can't be dragged!” Although Aunt Li had left the Lei family, she was very emotional about the Lei family. Speaking of the Lei family, she was nervous at times.

Middle-aged women are unhappy.

Aunt Li smiled and let her relax downstairs in the park and disguised herself. When the daughter-in-law went out, Aunt Li said: “My son and daughter-in-law are good people. They watched me do things at Lei's house for the rest of my life. When I got old, they didn't want me to listen to my master's call and drink anymore, so they took me out to enjoy myself. In fact, how do they know how well the Lei family treats their people? It's just a pity... the family is not always peaceful. ”

I saw her on the subject, didn't dare interrupt, looked at her seriously.

"" It's been almost 20 years, "said Aunt Li." Although I was working at Lei's house at the time, it was still disgraceful. The old lady blocked the news very tightly. What I know is not detailed! Not to mention, I'm older, I have a bad memory, and I can't remember a lot of things clearly, so think about where you're going. ”

“Okay.” I nodded.

”Aunt Li remembered for a moment. 'The reason for this is the jade...
