Chapter 408: Silence
Qin Su summoned Ah Kui to come closer, and asked first, "Where did you go, where did everyone else eat?"
Ah Kui replied: "I brought the meal with us, and I told her to go back to the room for dinner first, and then come back for us later." The rest of the people www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun" Pavilion are now in the kitchen below, and when I came out, I saw them setting the table, and I thought they were eating together at the bottom. ”
Qin Su let out a "hmm" and said, "That's fine." ”
Ah Kui took two steps forward at this time and said softly: "I inquired about the boat that the girl asked about just now, and the ship is now docked." However, because there was still thin ice on the shore, the ship did not come to the pier, but only dropped anchor a little further away from the pier. Now the wharf where we are located is fifty miles outside the capital of Shangjing, and the name of this wharf is also called Fifty Miles. ”
When Qin Su heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed, and said, "This is an interesting name. Yu Yu glanced to the side, then lowered his voice and asked, "Who came when I was asleep?"
Ah Kui's face showed a trace of embarrassment, and said: "If you go back to the girl, when the girl is asleep, the Zhong family ...... Both Lang Jun came, but they were all stopped by Li Yu. After a pause, he added in a low voice, "Guard Lin also came over to help stop it." ”
Hearing this, Qin Su's eyes bent.
Sure enough, it was someone sent by Mrs. Tai, and Lin Sihai was indeed loyal. With this, after she goes back, she will also have to win over this person.
"Girl, there's one more thing I need to tell you. Ah Kui approached at some point, and said in a very low voice, with a little uneasiness on his face.
Qin Su glanced at her, feeling slightly strange in his heart.
Although Ah Kui is a little timid, she is not without experience, but she doesn't know why she is so uneasy.
She thought about it, and then said to Ah Mei and the others: "You can go outside to use the food first, and then look at some portals, don't let anyone break in." ”
What she said was really in vain, Lin Sihai and they were all there, guarding the top and bottom like iron buckets, and even the Lang Jun of the Zhong family couldn't get by, how could they talk about others?
Ah Mei and Ah Sang both agreed, so they took the meal and went out to use it, and Ah Kui lowered her voice and said: "Girl, when I went to get the meal just now, I saw a person, very similar to the person the girl asked me to find. ”
Qin Su was stunned when he heard this, and immediately raised his head suddenly, and said with a surprised face: "What you said is ......"
Ah Kui nodded and said, "Yes, it's the person in the girl's painting." ”
"Really?" Qin Su asked, looking at Ah Kui with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "Did you see clearly?"
Ah Kui hesitated slightly, thought sideways for a while, and said softly: "I only saw a silhouette, the sky was dark, and it wasn't particularly real." However, I always felt that the person in the painting, especially the one in the left ear, also had a birthmark. ”
Qin Su's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression gradually became solemn.
How could it be so coincidental?
She had been looking for this person for a long time without a trace, but after getting on the boat, this person suddenly appeared?
Qin Su had a strange feeling in his heart, but when he thought about it, he didn't know where this feeling came from.
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Where did you see that man?"
Ah Kui didn't hesitate this time, and immediately said, "It's in the kitchen." Because there was only one kitchen, the concubine ordered two sets of cooking. Our cooks take care of our people's food, and we don't care about the men on the ship, but their own cooks do it. The person the girl was looking for was in charge of the fire in the kitchen. Because of the fire, I saw the birthmark on his face. But he didn't look back at the stove, and I didn't see his face. ”
She took a breath when she said this, and then said: "I later quietly asked others, and they all said that he came from the Zhong family, and said that most of the people who were in charge of cooking on the boat were originally working in the Zhong family. Since buying the boat, Lord Zhong Lang has dismantled the servants in the family, and some of them are placed on the ship, also to use peace of mind. I was afraid of arousing suspicion, so I only asked two questions and came back. ”
Qin Su nodded slightly, and a touch of contemplation crossed his eyes.
Ah Kui is used to being careful and calm, if it weren't for the fact that she looked like it, she wouldn't have come here to say it.
However, that person actually lit a fire in the kitchen, which was very different from what Qin Su knew. She clearly remembered that on the night of Huguan Kiln, this man had a great relationship with the silver-faced woman, and his obedient voice was a bit faceless, otherwise he would not have talked about money, account books and other things.
Qin Su had always thought that he should be a steward or a more decent servant, but she never expected that when Ah Kui met him, he would work in the ship's galley.
No wonder Ah Kui hasn't seen this person for so long, it turns out that he is a low-level cook who doesn't go out to meet people much, and was later assigned to the ship.
Qin Su's eyebrows relaxed, but in the next moment, her heart sank.
She thought of what Ah Kui had just said.
"Kitchen...... Burning ......"
Her breathing suddenly became rapid.
Things seem to be ...... Something is not good!
She slowly turned her head and looked at the door that led to the outer room.
It was a small gourd door, and a half-thick cotton curtain hung on the door, and the lights and candles outside the curtain were bright and silent.
Ah Kui opened her mouth to say something, but Qin Su turned around sharply and made a silent gesture at her.
Ah Kui hurriedly stopped his voice and looked at Qin Su with a slight puzzlement.
Qin Su's face was full of coldness at this moment.
It's very quiet all around.
There was no sound of talking, no clattering of dishes, not even the slightest sound of clothes rubbing.
The room outside, quiet as a grave.
Qin Su never remembered that Ah Mei and Ah San, the two maids from the grange, had such good rules for eating.
At this time, Ah Kui finally noticed something unusual, and his complexion changed slightly.
Ah Mei and Ah San, who were supposed to be eating outside, were strangely silent at this time.
What happened?
Ah Kui subconsciously glanced at Qin Su, but saw that her face was very calm, and she didn't even move a single hair.
Qin Su listened quietly for a while, but the door was always silent, she glanced sideways at Ah Kui, then lifted the corner of her skirt and walked slowly to the door.
The food on the desk was still exuding heat, and the room was very tidy, Amei and Ahsan sat sideways, one with a bowl rolling beside him, the other holding a chopstick, both lying down beside the desk, motionless.
Ah Kui was startled, and opened her mouth to shout, but suddenly, a cold and soft hand covered her mouth, and at the same time, a very soft voice came from her ear: "Shut up!"
