Chapter 134: Eyelight
"Young Master, the people we sent have already negotiated business with the Splendid Pavilion. However, it is too much to imagine that a shop can be brought back to life just by collecting information. The person who said this was Ah Feng.
Song Wuliang shook his head with a low smile, "In the past five years, the Splendid Pavilion has not done much business, but there have been almost no failures, isn't this enough to show its strength." However, what I didn't expect was that the master behind this Splendid Pavilion was actually the eldest lady. This time, it's just to try the skills of the Splendid Pavilion, and it's just this opportunity to probe the bottom of the eldest lady. ”
Ah Feng responded respectfully.
At this time, Su Qi still stayed where he was, thinking about countermeasures, the sudden death of the coachman was unusual, Su Qi did not rush back to the house but asked people to report to the official first. Because he didn't want to attract attention, Su Qi deliberately told the coachman to stop in a relatively hidden place, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Su Qiyi didn't dare to stay where he was, so he took Cuiluo and Zhu Tan to a relatively wide place with a large flow of people to wait for the arrival of the officers and soldiers.
Su Qi didn't wait too long before she saw a group of people walking towards where she was. If you look at it from a distance, you can recognize that it is the clothes of the officers and soldiers, and it seems that people from the government have arrived.
"The little woman has seen the official. Su Qichao blessed his body, and then began to explain what happened before. In fact, there is not much to explain, because Su Qi himself is also confused about this matter, and a good person suddenly died like this, this happened too suddenly.
"You mean, as soon as you walked over, you found him dead?" asked the officer and soldier with expressionless faces.
While talking, Su Qi was also constantly looking at the officers and soldiers who appeared in front of him. There is nothing unusual about the face, and the demeanor is also the usual indifference of the officers and soldiers, and even a little impatient, as for the others, their hands are rougher than others, but this is nothing special.
"That's right, I worked hard for the officials to uphold justice for him and bring the murderer to justice. The little girl had been away from home for too long, and she was worried about her family, so she went back to her home first, and then looked for an opportunity to go to the yamen as a witness after reporting to her family that she was safe. Su Qi said politely, but found that the officer and soldier who asked him first suddenly changed his complexion.
"Based on the words of a few of you, is it possible to make us believe you? This person died in no apparent terms, and you were the only ones present at that time, so go with us and go to the yamen to explain the matter clearly. The officers and soldiers said viciously, and they were about to hold Su Qi's wrist with their hands.
Zhu Tan quickly brushed away the hands of the officers and soldiers, because Zhu Tan didn't say anything more about the current scene, but looked at the officers and soldiers with implicit vigilance.
If you want to take yourself to the Yamen, there is nothing wrong with this, but Su Qi always felt that something was wrong in his heart, frowned and thought about it, but found that the expressions on the faces of several officers and soldiers had become more and more impatient.
What was wrong with it? There was nothing wrong with these people, whether it was the timing of their appearance or what they did after they appeared, and it seemed that the officer and soldier who had only listened to the words of the appropriate person seemed to have to take him to the yamen.
It is said that abnormality is a demon, so what about when it is not abnormal?
Su Qi had a pitiful look on his face, and said in a softened tone: "Don't hide it from the officials, the rules in the little girl's family are very strict, if you go back late, it will be difficult to avoid a family law, and I hope that several officials can be accommodating." ”
But today's several officers and soldiers seem to be hard-hearted, and they are not moved by Su Qi's cute appearance at all, although the faces of a few people who looked at Su Qi changed slightly, but no one let go after all.
Seeing this, Su Qi resorted to another trick - bribery. Let Cuiluo take out the silver and hand it to several officers and soldiers, but those people accepted the silver without hesitation, but the gaze that looked at Su Qi changed a little.
"The little girl knows the rules quite well, but your luck is not very good today, and you met a few of our brothers......" The expressions of the officers and soldiers suddenly became a little meaningful, looked at Su Qi, looked around, and then sank down and said: "I know such a thing as bribery at a young age, how good is my character, I should really think about it, come with us first, rest assured that it won't take too long, just go to the yamen to record a confession." ”
"That's the case......" Su Qi showed a sudden look on his face, as if he was about to agree to go to the yamen with these officers and soldiers immediately.
But the next moment, I saw Su Qi raise his hand, and a burst of overwhelming white ash suddenly dispersed in front of her, and the next moment she quickly turned around and shouted the word 'run' loudly.
The three girls immediately ran up, several of the officers and soldiers were blinded by the white ash spilled by Su Qi, and they all covered their eyes and squatted on the ground screaming, and the remaining few immediately chased after Su Qi's master and servant, but although this place is a little remote, it is not inhabited.
The first choice of the master and servant was the nearest Splendid Pavilion, and there were more than 20 people in the Splendid Pavilion, so there was no reason to be afraid of a few officers and soldiers in this area.
Kwai Niang couldn't help but be happy when she saw the three of them go and return, but before she could rejoice, she was so surprised by Su Qi's serious expression that she didn't have time to smile on her face.
"Quick, call all the guards of the Splendid Pavilion, those few outside are all pretending to be officers and soldiers, and they want to be unfavorable to me. Su Qi said urgently while quickly fastening the door.
Kwai Niang's reaction speed was also extremely fast, and she immediately opened her throat and summoned all the people of the Splendid Pavilion, among which the guards of the Splendid Pavilion stood in front of Su Qi and protected her tightly behind her. At this moment, Su Qi was extremely glad that the few guards with good martial arts she had invited because she was worried about the Splendid Pavilion being harassed by others had done her a great favor today.
"Open the door quickly, the government is on business!" An unceremonious knock on the door soon sounded outside the gate of the Splendid Pavilion, and at the same time, there was a man's angry and commanding shout.
"You don't have much time, are you sure you want to continue to waste it here? When the real official comes, I'm afraid you guys will have to go to the yamen. Su Qi said word by word through the door, in a casual tone.
At first, she really thought that those people were officers and soldiers, but at the critical moment, it was her suspicious nature that helped her.
There wasn't much suspicious about the behavior of those people, it was just a casual look from one of them who betrayed them.
Su Qi remembered clearly that when she pretended to be pitiful and interceded with one of the officers and soldiers, the corners of the man's mouth who had been squatting on the ground to check the corpse of the coachman suddenly hooked, and the corners of his eyes showed a look of color Mimi in his chest. It is naturally impossible to show such eyes to a corpse, so his target can only be himself, Cuiluo and Zhu Tan.
