Chapter 43: Autumn Dew and Frost
Xiang Jiu wanted to cry without tears, glared at Mu Yun angrily, Mu Yun laughed until he was angry, and spread his hands: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoYou sent it yourself. ”
Li Shuci smiled and continued: "Although you signed the deed of debt before, your face is not your true face, and if you regret running away, I will have nowhere to find you." Second, you are a master, I don't know kung fu, and I don't dare to kill, if you turn your face that day and don't recognize people, I am a weak woman, wouldn't I send my life to you in vain. ”
Mu Yun heard Li Shuci describe herself as a "weak woman" and "dare not kill", and couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for Xiang Jiusheng. "Don't worry! This medicine is slow, just take the antidote once a month, and keep you fine! ”
Xiang Jiu looked at Li Shuci and then at Mu Yun, the green tendons on his forehead jumped a few times, and suddenly jumped up, and went out with Sun Xiaozi in his arms.
"It's really good at picking soft persimmons and pinching ......" Mu Yun looked at Xiang Jiu's crazy back and said with a smile: "If there is really such a medicine, it will cost so much Zhou Zhang to kill anyone......
Li Shuci sat calmly on the chair, "He is not bad-eyed, but he is not very good at turning, he can't think of us to lie to him, he will only be obedient." If you can help, it's good, but if you can't, don't make a mess for us. ”
After the frost falls, it is the beginning of winter, and when you speak, the faint white mist is like a pandan orchid coming out of your mouth. Li Shuci got up early in the morning, picked out a plain moon-white skirt, covered it with a silver gray jacket, tied a light gray velvet cloak, Qingge took the gray gauze hat and held it in his hand as usual, and Mu Yun went out with the two of them.
The three of them got into the carriage one after another, the old paste shook the reins, said hello, and went to Nanhua Street unhurriedly. Especially in such a cold weather, it is very comfortable to eat such a delicate hot noodle soup.
This shop is familiar to locals in Beijing, and it is a small shop with only four or five tables in total, and it does not serve many types of noodles, but everything is exquisite, delicious and clean, and the prices are reasonable. In particular, a dish of five vegetables is dipped in the tip, the noodles are evenly green and white, mixed with persimmon sauce, sweet and sour.
However, ordinary daughters of the world will not come to such a place, but the three of them all like it here, in Yu Baochan's words: "How can we be ordinary people? ”
Li Shuci glanced at the store, but didn't see the two of them, thinking that she was the first to arrive today. took off his hat and handed it to Qingge, and was just about to find a table to sit down, when he heard a familiar voice outside, "Brother Shen Shi must have never been to this place, but I specialize in the noodle soup in this small shop." ”
"Why is he here......?" Li Shuci didn't stand or sit for a while, and when he saw the innermost table, he leaned against the back door, took two steps and dodged out, and Qingge and Mu Yun didn't know why they hurriedly followed.
This shop is small, and the shopkeeper also has to do some work of adding noodles and soup, but he doesn't care, and the frequent customers know that the back door can lead to the crescent alley at the back.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the back door, they heard Li Zheng take Shen Yuan into the store, Li Zheng squinted and glanced around, but he didn't see his fifth sister who had just grown up, and turned his head to look at the little guy standing behind him, he watched the girl go out before pulling Shen Yuan over. "Brother Shen, please."
Li Zheng's expression was natural, and he didn't show any abnormality, Shen Yuan said, "Please." ”
Li Shuci wanted to raise his feet and leave, but when he was about to hear it, he stood at the corner gate without moving, and whispered to Mu Yunqingge: "You go to the teahouse where Lao Mu usually waits for us, and then wait for me in the back alley." ”
Qingge lightly went out from the corner door of the backyard to find the old paste, the hour was still early, there were not many guests, and the three of them usually came in time when there were few people. Li Shuci stood at the corner door and listened to the movement inside, only to hear Li Zheng introduce: "Brother Shen Shi's taste is light, so it's better to have a bowl of vegetarian shrimp noodles." ”
Shen Yuanzai's voice was as clear as jade: "Okay, just do as you say." ”
The folding fan in Li Zheng's hand fell on the palm of his hand with a "snap": "Xiao Er, come here for a night of vegetarian shrimp noodles, a bowl of fried eel noodles, and two plates of side dishes." ”
Xiao Erle responded loudly: "Okay! ”
Li Shuci only listened to Shen Yuan and said, "Brother Li, have you heard about the strange case in Beijing recently?" ”
Li Zheng said: "Naturally, I heard that three people died in a month, and they were all drained of blood in their bodies, which is extremely weird." ”
"The murderer's methods are unpredictable, and the yamen has not had any clues so far, so they can only try their best to suppress a few nearby people who know the inside story, so as not to cause panic."
"Yes, it has been many years since such a difficult case happened in Shangjing, and I heard that it has alarmed the above." Li Zheng glanced in the direction of the palace, "The three deceased had nothing to do with each other before their deaths, and the murderer had no clues. Some people suspect that it is a murder or murder. ”
Shen Yuan shook his head, "One of these three people is a widow who has just died her husband not long ago, one is an old farmer's wife, and the other is a good person who is famous in Beijing. If you buy murder or murder, it is either for wealth or revenge. But there was no connection between the three men. ”
"Strange and weird!"
Li Shuci couldn't tell why she didn't want to see Shen Yuan, in short, she didn't want to have anything to do with him too early, not to mention that she had never heard of Li Zheng and Shen Yuan coming here before. What kind of heart does Li Zheng have? Didn't Dafang always want Li Shuqiao to marry Shen Yuan, so that the two families could form a rope after the Li family was defeated? If she hadn't been clamoring to marry Shen Yuan in her previous life, I'm afraid Li Shuqiao would have married Shen Yuan as she wished!
Li Shuci was out of his mind, only to hear the wind whistling behind him, followed by a plop. Li Shuci was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Mu Shan jumping off the wall, and Mu Yun still maintained a kicking posture. There was still a man lying on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Mu Yun stepped on the man, "I don't know how long this person has been standing behind us, I didn't even notice it." ”
Mu Yun was nervous for a long time, and saw that Li Shuci was just standing there in a daze, and when he turned around, he saw a person standing behind him, looking at them and listening to the corner of the wall for a long time. She subconsciously made a move, and the man was very fast, but fortunately, the eldest brother followed today, and while the person was not paying attention, the sneak attack was successful.
Li Shuci was frightened into a cold sweat, this person was lying face down on the ground, already fainting, "Look at this splendid robe, it doesn't look like an ordinary son, turn him over and take a look." ”
Mu Shan didn't say a word, and stepped forward to turn the man over on his back, although his face was stained with soil, he could also see that his appearance was outstanding. Li Shuci frowned, looking a little familiar, and suddenly remembered where he had seen it, and gasped.
Mu Yun thought to himself, it was broken, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Who's this? ”
Li Shuci glanced at the corner door and said, "Quick, take him and go back to the car!" ”
Li Shuci went out of the back door, the old paste really drove the carriage and waited not far away, Qingge saw Mu Yun and Mu Shan carrying someone out, startled, Li Shuci hurriedly instructed her: "You go quickly, go to the front door, wait for Miss Fang and Miss Yu San, just say that I am not feeling well this morning, I didn't have time to tell them, I won't come today, I will accompany them another day." ”
Qingge nodded and hurried away.
Mu Yun and Mu Shan carried the man into the car with all hands and feet, and the old man looked at the man and then at Li Shuci, it seemed that they were waiting for an explanation. Although Chongnan's defense of men and women is not so serious, but the same car companion can't say it, Li Shuci said to the old fool: "This matter, this is an accident, this is a ...... This is the son of Helian Shizi...... No one else should know about it. ”
Lao Mu glanced into the carriage unexpectedly, "As long as the girl is fine, Lao Mu is not a talkative person." ”
Li Shuci nodded, hesitated for a moment and could only get in the car first, wait out of the alley, and then find a carriage to send Helian Tao to a safe place. She couldn't just leave him here. The son of the Helian family is faint here, and if something happens, she can't afford it.
Fortunately, the carriage was wide enough, Helian Tao lay there motionless, Li Shuci and Mu Yun sat opposite, staring at him speechless for a while, how long had he been standing behind her, why didn't he speak, just watched her eavesdropping there......
Li Shuci's head was big for a while, the carriage gradually drove out of the crescent alley, and there was a noisy and lively sound on the street, and he was thinking about where to put him down, when the person lying opposite sat up and rubbed the back of his head.
Mu Yun reacted quickly, and hurriedly protected Li Shuci behind him.
Helian Tao wiped a handful of dirt on his face, and said sharply: "You girl, it's just a matter of eavesdropping on the handsome boy's words, and you also connive at the evil servant to hurt people." ”
When Li Shuci heard him say this, his face turned completely black, and he originally wanted to accompany him, "How good are you sneaking behind people?" ”
Helian Tao didn't expect Li Shuci to be so sharp-tongued, and suddenly smiled: "Interesting, interesting!" Hahaha, I didn't expect that Young Master Li, who has a good character, would have such an unearthly daughter. ”
Helian Tao is known as one of the four sons of Shangjing, not to mention his appearance and bearing, this laugh is like the sun rushing out, but the words in his mouth are still unforgiving, and the word "vulgar" is deliberately bitten to death before spitting out.
Li Shuci didn't expect him to recognize her, they had only met once, that is, the time of the Liufang Wenhui, and she raised her head. "What do you want?"
Helian Tao rubbed the back of his head again, twisted his neck slightly, it was not easy to pretend to be dizzy, his neck was sore. With a smile on his face, he looked at the five girls of the Li Mansion who were sitting opposite and gritting her teeth, he had never seen a deep boudoir like this, and he couldn't tell how it was, in short, it was definitely not her like this, the girl around her was good, and the girl who attacked him was also hers? He was knocked unconscious without seeing it.
"I should ask you this, I stood there enjoying the scenery, but I was knocked out with a stick, what do you want this girl to do? Could it be that he admires the good name of the master? Helian Tao relaxed and leaned against the wall of the car, as comfortable as his own carriage.
Mu Yun looked at Helian Tao in amazement, the first time she saw such a shameless son of a family, it was really like a rumor. Helian Tao is a first-class gentleman!
Li Shuci gritted his teeth and said, "Enjoy the scenery? What kind of scenery do you stand in people's backyards to enjoy? The prince is really a rare elegant person, and this scenery is really chic! ”
Helian Tao stretched out a finger and shook it, "You don't have to say something useless, just say, what do you want to do after you kidnap your master?" ”
