141 Mingcheng stays, accidents on the street
Seven days later, the group came to a big city, a city called [Ming City], Guan Lao said that his friend was the father of the owner of this city, so he lived in the largest and best house in Ming City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn such a city, the city lord's family is equivalent to the emperor and princess of a small country, and along the way, they can clearly hear the people's praise for the city lord. And looking at the appearance of this city, you know that he really manages it very well.
"Senior Guan, you're here! My father's spirits are very good during this time, and he no longer has insomnia, is Senior Guan going to see his father now? "When I came to the [City Lord's Mansion], after knocking on the door, the person who opened the door directly brought a few people to the living room, obviously very familiar with Guan Lao, although he hadn't been here for a while, his appearance was still clearly remembered by the people in the [City Lord's Mansion], so he would directly open the door for him, and then bring him to Murong Lin.
"Yes, that's good. We also passed by here, so we came here as guests, and by the way, we saw old friends. Then Xiaolin, it's good that you are busy with your own affairs, you don't need to call us out, I'll go to see your father. Guan Lai said in a casual tone, although Murong Lin is the city lord, for Guan Lao, he is just a junior, and he is a few years older than his father, of course, there is no need to be too scrupulous.
"Okay, then please come with me, I'll take you to the guest room, you must stay in the house for one night tonight, my father and Senior Guan will have a lot to say." After Murong Lin waited for Guan Lao to leave, he said to Zhan Xiaoyan and the others. Because they came directly to the carriage just now, and it was already afternoon, so they would definitely stay here today, Guan Lao had planned to do so at the beginning.
In the evening, when eating dinner, Guan Lao did not go with them, and someone came over to say that the two old men were still chatting, and there were a lot of words to say, and people sent wine and food over, so today the two of them will talk at night, and Zhan Xiaoyan also understood, so after dinner, she returned to the guest room, and everyone came to her room, chatting, talking, and discussing to go to have a good time tomorrow and buy some things.
I also heard that there is a beautiful lake here, and in such weather, you can also enjoy the fun of boating on the lake and swimming in the lake, which is also very good. Therefore, after shopping, you can also swim in the lake, have a good rest for a day, and wait for the next day to hurry.
The next day, after breakfast, the group went out, Guan Lao was sleeping, because he and Master Murong really chatted all night last night, and he went to sleep at midnight this morning, so he didn't eat breakfast yet, so he went to bed directly. In this way, he can sleep well, and the group can go shopping and play.
"Smiling, this [Mingcheng] is really lively! And the things here are also very good, not only good-looking, but also of good quality. Look at the cloth I bought, not only there are many colors, but also a lot of ready-to-wear styles; And this jewelry, although it is not as beautiful as in the store, but the style is good, very good, why don't you buy some? After a group of people walked around for half an hour, Liang Shiyun bought a lot of things, and her interest was really very good, and when she bought the cloth, she also asked what kind of cloth was suitable for the baby.
"Okay, buy whatever you want, we have a lot of time, just go back before lunch. Or we can stroll around until lunch, and then wait for lunch and then come back to the lake in the afternoon, as long as you have the energy and don't get sleepy! Zhan replied with a smile. It's not that she doesn't buy things, it's just that she is not as powerful as Liang Shiyun, she will buy what she likes when she sees it, but very little, basically for her three younger siblings.
"No, we can go to the lake in the morning, and it will take us at most an hour to go shopping, and now we are still half the time, enough for us to buy many more things." Let's go, there is a jewelry store in front, let's take a look, if there is a beautiful jewelry, then of course we have to buy it. Liang Shiyun said, and pulled Zhan Xiaoyan to the front, and the others could only follow one by one.
"Shocked! Everyone, get out of the way, startled! Just as a few people were about to walk into the jewelry store, they suddenly heard someone say this loudly. Everyone's attention couldn't help but fall on the center of the connection, a fiery red horse was on a rampage, and riding on it was a young girl.
"Someone! Come on, someone, who's going to restrain this horse for Miss Ben! This horse is crazy, I can't control it! The panic and urgency in the sound were very obvious, and the horses were also in a frenzy, occasionally knocking over the stalls next to them. Even if everyone avoids it, such a startling horse is not a good thing, and only by quieting down the horse as soon as possible.
"Oh my God, there's an old man up there! The horse is running there, and let it stop! Otherwise, the old man will definitely be injured, so hurry up and restrain the horse and make it stop! A man said in fright. Everyone followed his words, and saw an old man who was only a hundred meters away from the horse, and he was carrying a bamboo basket on his back, obviously because of this accident, he had just packed up the things on the stall, and then he was about to leave, so as to avoid this danger, but he did not expect to walk into the street now.
Seeing that the horse was about to come to the old man, but he still didn't realize it, even if he reacted in the end, it was too late, he could only turn his head to look at the horse, look at its raised hooves, and see that it was about to step on himself, and at that time, the end must be miserable!
Yan Qihao performed light skills, flew in front of the horse, used enough internal strength, and punched the horse's body, and the horse immediately fell to the ground. Although he didn't want to do it, he just saw that the horse was already foaming at the mouth, and it was going crazy because it had been drugged. Then because the horse fell to the ground in an instant, the girl sitting on it also fell to the ground with her, full of embarrassment.
"Let's go!" After Yan Qihao finished that punch, he walked back to Zhan Xiaoyan and the others, and walked into the jewelry store with them. Now that the trouble has been solved, and the old man is fine, then he doesn't need to stand there all the time, and this danger is just an accident.
"You lose Miss Ben's horse!" However, they only regarded it as an accident, but the woman who lost her horse did not think so, and chased after her to the store, pointing at Yan Qihao and saying. Although Lou Qingyang was also standing next to him, that bright red was not something that any man could wear to feel. Therefore, the woman walked directly to Yan Qihao's side and pointed at him.
"This girl, it was an accident just now, and you know that if I don't knock that horse down, it will be the old man who will be injured or even killed. I know that your horse is important to you, maybe bought at a great price, but human life is also precious. And I want to tell you, you'd better find out what your horse has eaten before, or where it has been, and the reason why it goes crazy is because it has been drugged, and even if I don't punch it, it will run with you like this, and it will die of exhaustion! Yan Qihao said these points accurately, and he was not afraid at all because of the other party's questioning.
"Really? How do I know if what you say is true or false! My horse is going berserk, but it doesn't have to die in the end! But now, just because you punched it, it fell to the ground and died, that's a fact! Although I also know that human life is more precious, maybe the old man will only be injured, not dead, and I will pay him some silver when the time comes, but now my horse is dead, which is completely different! The woman was not a rude and willful person, and she could listen to what Yan Qihao said, but then she thought of her dead horse, and asked again.
"Good! If the girl thinks you'll be more comfortable if I lose money, then I'm more than happy, because whoever wants to harm the girl is a pitiful horse to be used! But please promise me one thing, that is, after you have taken the money, please find out who is the one who drugged the horse, and don't let your horse die in vain! Yan Qihao saw that the girl was unrelenting, so he agreed to her request, although this silver should not have been paid by himself, but it is also a fact that he killed the horse.
"Of course I feel sorry for my horse, it just died, of course I feel sorry too, I still need to say it! Since you also think that it is a pity that my horse died, then you should stop accompanying your friends to the jewelry store, and you can go with me to find out the truth and get justice for my horse! By the way, my name is Murong Xueqing. Murong Xueqing said that the wind is the rain, and after she decided it herself, she didn't ask Yan Qihao if she agreed, so she directly pulled him out of the jewelry store.
"Miss Murong, I don't know if your father's name is Murong Lin, and he is the city lord of [Ming City]?" Zhan asked with a smile as the two were about to walk out the door. Because she had just noticed the shopkeeper's expression, after he saw this girl, his eyes inadvertently showed respect and affection, and then moved a few steps towards Murong Xueqing slightly, so that he would not be too close to her, but if she was in danger, he could also help her in time. It was precisely because of the shopkeeper's attitude and the surname 'Murong' that she guessed Murong Xueqing's identity.
"How do you know? Yes, the city lord Murong Lin is my father, and I am his youngest daughter. Why, do you know my father? As soon as Zhan Xiaoyan asked, Murong Xueqing naturally stopped, turned her head to look at her and replied.
"To tell you the truth, we are guests in the house at this time, and we are out shopping today, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Murong. In my opinion, it is better to let the horse's corpse be transported back to the City Lord's Mansion first, and then Miss Murong will call all the people who are playing with today together, and then the girl will recall all the details of today, and she will definitely be able to find clues! ”
Zhan said with a smile. If Murong Xueqing was a rude and willful woman, she would not have said this, and she believed that Yan Qihao could solve this trouble. But she was really distressed about the horse she had died, and she also wanted to find out the real culprit at this time, so she spoke.
"Is that so? Alright, then you can come with me! Since you are Daddy's guest, you must not be a bad person. I'll trouble you to send my horses back to the City Lord's Mansion, and I'll call all the friends I played with before to the mansion, and think about who drugged me!" Hearing Zhan Xiaoyan say this, Murong Xueqing restrained her anger and said with a smile.
"Okay, then we'll go our separate ways, and we'll definitely bring your beloved horse back to the City Lord's Mansion, and then go to a veterinarian and let him see what medicine the horse has been in." Zhan said with a smile. She was also very satisfied with Murong Xueqing's transformation at this time, knowing that this was a good girl.
An hour later, Murong Xueqing came back, because it was almost noon, so everyone was in the dining room, and the veterinarian had just come to the City Lord's Mansion, looked at the white foam from the horse's mouth, and determined that it was 'Ma Nux', a medicine that made the horse restless just by smelling it, and after taking it, he would go crazy, and then he kept running, knowing that his physical strength was exhausted and he fell to the ground, that is, he would definitely die!
"Cousin, Xiaoxiao, Xiqian, Xiyao, do you know what this is?" After the meal, Murong Xueqing took four friends to her courtyard, and when she was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, she took out the strychnine and asked, and then observed the expressions of several of them.
"I know, this is a strychnine, I usually take it, and it will make people have diarrhea, what's wrong?" He Xiaoxiao replied, even if the other three didn't speak, the affirmative gaze showed that they also knew.
"That's right, my Chiyan died, the doctor said it was because he ate this strychnine, and until yesterday, it has been fine, and now I call everyone over, just to ask you, have you seen anyone near it, and it is sneaky? I remember that I got off the horse when I greeted you today, and left the Red Flame for a while, and there was nothing else, so I wanted to ask you if you knew anything? Murong Xueqing didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Xue Qing, if you ask us this time, we can't remember it right away, so you just wait a little longer, let us remember everything in the morning. Originally, we made an appointment to go to the suburbs to race horses today, but I didn't expect your red flame to suddenly go crazy and run forward with you. Although we kept chasing after us, because our horses were not as fast as Chiyan, we didn't catch up, and you disappeared all of a sudden, until you came to us later, and nothing special seemed to have happened! Ye Xiyao recalled seriously, and the others also had the same expressions. (To be continued.) )
