Chapter 803: The Case
(Girls' Literature)
Playing leaf cards is a game that requires luck and skill.
If Yan Dai is as ordinary as Yan Dai and doesn't play much, and when she meets a veteran card player like Chanyi, how can she be an opponent, naturally she is losing and retreating, but later Chanyi came back to her senses and wanted to lose to her quietly, and she couldn't make up for the previous deficit.
Fortunately, Yan Dai is not a narrow-minded little lady, and with Chan Yi's promise to make up the silver money after her, she has no burden in her heart, she loses if she loses, and after eating a bowl of chilled mung bean paste, she doesn't remember anything, and she smiles and helps Chan Yi count how many silver coins she won.
Chanyi wanted to laugh when she saw it, such a calm little lady didn't know what her fate would be in the future.
A leaf card played until Ugin gradually sank, and the sky was flooded with a brilliant sunset, but in fact the end was a little hurried, because the quiet inn suddenly became noisy, so that they could not beat their hearts, so they simply closed the card field.
Chanyi told the maid to go to the stove to make some dinner, and asked Jin Se to go out to see the situation, it stands to reason that this town is the busy season of farming, there should not be many guests to stay, they walked here, the first night was also quiet, but today downstairs listening, it was like something big had happened.
Mrs. Yan looked a little sleepy, took the maid's hand and stood up and said, "Let's cook a bowl of porridge with me for dinner, I sat all afternoon, and I was really a little sleepy." ”
Chanyi hurriedly said: "You go back to the room to rest first, and when the porridge is ready, I will ask the maid to bring it into the room for you and serve you dinner." ”
Originally, I came out to escape the summer, but if Mrs. Yan was tired and sick, wouldn't it be in vain.
Yan Dai was also a little worried about Mrs. Yan's body, "Grandmother, let me press your shoulder, you must have a sore shoulder due to sitting for a long time, and I will rub your shoulder the most." ”
Mrs. Yan smiled and stopped her: "You accompany me every day, and now it's hard to come out, just follow your cousin-in-law, I want to sleep for a while when I go back, you are in the room, just watching me sleep, stuffy." ”
"Dale is here with me, don't disturb my grandmother's rest. Chan Yi could see that Mrs. Yan intended to let Yan Dai soothe and relieve her nervous mood in Yizhou City, and said something to save her.
And for Yan Dai, no matter how well-behaved and obedient she is, she is always a young man, she has been raising her in the boudoir with Mrs. Yan on weekdays and not going out, but this time she came out, and she has to stay in the room all the time, and she has not spoken to anyone, she is also a little bored, and then listening to Mrs. Yan's arrangement, Yan Dai hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Mrs. Yan smiled and went back to the guest room to rest, only she and Chanyi were talking in the room.
Yan Dai listened to the movement below, and frowned: "Sister-in-law, who did you say were the people downstairs? Why is the movement so big? Grandmother is still tired, where can grandmother rest like this?"
Chan Yi was also a little puzzled, it was already evening, how could she still make such a fuss? Isn't the shopkeeper restrained? Knowing that they are staying upstairs, how dare they let these people come nonsense?
When Jin Se came back and said the news he had heard, Chan Yi and Yan Dai understood why the downstairs was so noisy.
Jin Se seemed to be a little frightened, and said in a low voice while stroking his chest: "It was said that there was a murder, a merchant woman died, and the death was strange, and I found out until this evening, I thought it was not a big deal, but I heard that it alarmed the experience of the political secretary, and now even the political envoy has rushed over, and those officials said that the murderer was hiding in the inn, and now they are searching one by one, and when the slave and maid come back, the officials have searched near our guest room." ”
Chanyi frowned, this person who is out of the house, encountering a murder case is always displeased, and what is even more displeasing is that these errands still want to search one by one, I don't know what they think, since the murderer killed someone, how could he stay in this inn and wait for the errand to arrest him?
"Sister-in-law, what if they find out about us?" Yan Dai was a little nervous, the room was full of female dependents, and she was bumped into by those errand soldiers, what kind of face would she have in the future?
Chanyi stroked her hand and said: "Don't be afraid, those people can't find our heads, you don't have to forget that your husband is the prince, don't say that it is the political secretary who has experienced it, that is, the political envoy is here, and you must respectfully greet your husband." ”
Yan Dai calmed down a little, but when she heard the messy footsteps approaching, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
The shopkeeper of the inn was already anxious at this time, originally thinking that the place where the nobles lived would always attract more business, but who would have thought that such a murder would happen in the guest room downstairs.
Seeing the menacing search inns of those errand servants, his old face splashed out in exchange for a low voice from the errand officer he had made on weekdays: "Today's things can't be good, if you are on the hair next to the search, it was originally to turn the inn upside down, and my brother has been taken care of by you on weekdays, so it is much lighter, and you are also crying with a sad face, you are not tired of this kind of thing? But it is all errands, there is no way, you can bear it." ”
The shopkeeper's heart suddenly cooled a lot, and when he saw that the messenger was about to search the guest rooms where several nobles lived, he hurriedly stopped him.
"But no, these rooms are all noble people, don't you see those individuals standing at the door? That's all with official titles, no matter which one is taken out alone, it will crush people to death, this is also our friendship, the little old man reminds you that the people inside can never afford to offend, that person is stupid and stunned, and it is impossible for the person to hide in the nobleman, even if the masters at the door are impossible to let go of that person." ”
But where are the servants willing to listen to these words, they are here by order, and they don't know who the nobles are yet, if they regress and don't search and offend Shangfeng, I'm afraid that this errand will have to be blown in the future.
So the messenger didn't even have the patience to say more, and pushed the shopkeeper to the side, "Even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, he has to search, this is a case that the political envoy personally interrogated, and he must not be sloppy at all!"
As soon as the people were clueless, they carried knives and broke in, and those who didn't know thought that the court was arresting the murderer.
The shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned blue, and he couldn't say anything at all, he only knew that he was going forward to stop these errand soldiers, and said repeatedly: "This can't be done, there are all women in it, you can go in like this!"
Pulling left and right is hard to make the lobby noisy.
Chanyi heard a noise outside the house, originally thought to wait for the matter to pass and then ask carefully, but unexpectedly dragged on for more than half an hour and did not subside, can't help but feel a little strange, was about to ask Jin Se to go out to have a look, the next moment, those noisy sounds stopped all of a sudden.
Chanyi was still curious, Chu Shaoyuan had already come back from outside and entered the house.
"Can you be noisy?" he came in and saw Chan Yi and Yan Dai looking a little restless, and couldn't help but come forward to ask.
Chanyi shook her head slightly, and then nodded: "It's just that I don't know what kind of case it is, but it can actually alarm the political envoy." ”
Although the dispute was settled at once, Chan Yi always felt that the political envoy would not give up like this, and maybe she was thinking about how to enter their residence to check at this moment.
Chu Shaoyuan stretched out his hand and grabbed Chanyi's hand and squeezed it gently: "No matter what the case, you shouldn't hit me with your idea, it's just a small political envoy, you dare to go against me like this, and I don't know if it is the political envoy himself who knows the end of doing this." ”
Yan Dai was still in the room, Chu Shaoyuan showed a very doting look on Chanyi so unabashedly, Yan Dai was very envious when she saw it, every girl would want her husband to be single-minded, although Yan Dai herself is not engaged, and she does not have the right to make decisions in her own marriage, but the beautiful vision cannot be hidden.
She asked crisply, "Cousin, didn't you say that there was a murder? You stay outside, you should know better than us, you tell us what is going on." ”
Chu Shaoyuan sneered: "It's just a rich businessman who has a life lawsuit, and the political envoy said that it happened to catch him in time to collect the annual tax and tax silver in the first half of this year, and he knew that some merchants secretly leaked taxes and leaked badly, and they wanted to catch them all, but they didn't expect that people absconded without permission, and there was such a thing, but I think what he said was messy, and I can't believe it at all." ”
Chan Yi looked at the look on Chu Shaoyuan's face, and vaguely knew in his heart that Chu Shaoyuan had not negotiated this matter, so he would be sullen.
Before he could comfort him, he heard a knock at the door.
Chanyi and Yan Dai looked at each other, but they didn't expect that after a while, everyone chased them to the door, which was really embarrassing.
“…… Lord Wang!" the people outside called, this is knowing Chu Shaoyuan's identity.
"You two go to the back of the screen first to avoid it, and I'll see who it is, and you dare to come to the door to stir up trouble. Chu Shaoyuan was also a little angry, arranged the two of them, and opened the door directly, and the people outside the door immediately appeared in front of him.
It was the political envoy of Sichuan Guibu, he probably just arrived, and he was so hot that he was sweating, and even his clothes were attached to his body, faintly exuding a smell of sweat, the taste was not bad, but it must not be said to be good.
Chu Shaoyuan stood at the door, staring at the person in front of him slightly, because he had been growing tall for half a year, he was already half a head taller than the forty-year-old envoy of Sichuan Guibu, and at this time he looked at the envoy of Sichuan Guibu condescendingly, his eyes were full of displeasure: "Lord Envoy Bu, this is the place where you want to copy the king?"
The face of the political envoy of Sichuan Guibu changed slightly: "Don't dare! The lower officials are just handling the case, and I hope the prince will forgive me!"
It doesn't make sense, you must let someone come in to check, Chu Shaoyuan's face fell.
"Suspect that this king is secretly hiding a thief?" he stared coldly at the face of the envoy of Sichuan Guibu, and his tone was full of anger, "If no one can be found, does the envoy want to give an explanation to the king?"
