"Say, who sent you?"

The shopkeeper was tied to a chair with his hands and feet, and in front of him there were several tables full of dishes, such as kelp pork belly soup, anchovy shark fin, abalone stewed pearl cabbage, shark fin crab soup, etc., whether it was just up or the guests ate the leftovers, all lined up on the long table put together by these five tables, from south to north, not to mention no less than a hundred, and its variety was as rich as a palace banquet!

If you are tired from the journey and extremely hungry, you will definitely smile when you see this table of delicious food, and you will be extremely happy, but the shopkeeper's face is now clearly full of painful expressions!

It's no wonder that he doesn't suffer, because until now, he has eaten no less than ten bowls of rice and twenty dishes, so he simply grows fat, and usually has a large enough stomach to accommodate ten times more food than ordinary people, otherwise his stomach would have burst a long time ago!

However, his self-consoling fluke psychology can only deceive himself, and the girl in front of him obviously has no intention of stopping pouring leftovers into his mouth.

No, when he just took a breath and swallowed the last bite of food that filled his mouth, another dish was delivered to him!

The shopkeeper burped violently, and a fat and trembling face immediately became distorted again, it was a kind of extremely helpless distortion of pain and happiness, like crying and laughing, and it looked very funny!

When the girls on the sidelines saw the shopkeeper's expression, their expressions were also distorted, and some even couldn't help but burp or shiver, and tried to close their mouths tightly, for fear that the leftovers would be sent to their mouths.

This Yang Ah Ling is really not human! It's a shame that she can think of torturing people in this way!

Even a sow can't eat so much in a day, right? Moreover, the shopkeeper is neither a pig nor a mother?

"Wow-" The shopkeeper spat out the chicken soup he had drunk, and his eyes, which were squeezed by the fat, opened suddenly. He looked at Han Ling with great pity.

"Grandma, please spare me!" He begged, "Or can you torture me in another way?" I just can't eat it! ”

"Could it be that you still have masochistic tendencies and like to be tortured?" Han Ling said incredulously, and then shook his head again, "No, no, Miss Ben is the most benevolent." There is no blood. Not to mention the thirty-six sets of punishments in the brocade prison, even if you whip someone, I can't do this. It's better to do this! Not only let the shopkeeper enjoy the fun of food, but also do not waste food! ”

Bah, this is called kindness and kindness, and this is not torture to death. This is going to kill people! I've only heard of starvation, but I haven't heard of death! Yang's Ah Ling, you are really vicious! There was a girl next to her who scolded secretly in her heart.

Xu Moxuan and Yang Xizhi were already laughing from ear to ear. But at this moment, I heard Han Ling continue: "Speaking of not wasting food, hey, the shopkeeper." What's going on with you? Why did you spit out such a good bowl of chicken soup? Don't you know how expensive this bowl of chicken soup is? Don't you know how much food a chicken has to eat to grow this big? No, no, now the imperial court advocates agriculture and keeps reducing taxes on cultivated land. The people don't know how hard it is to grow a grain of grain, and you have to set an example as the shopkeeper. You can't waste food, you have to eat it again! ”

Han Ling said, glaring at the guy next to the shopkeeper, meaning: Hurry up and feed, if you don't feed him, you will drink it yourself!

The man was so frightened that he replied, picked up a bowl of chicken soup that the shopkeeper spit out, looked at it with disgust, and then pinched the shopkeeper's nose and began to pour it into his mouth.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened in fright, and the guy was startled by his gaze, and his hand was not steady, and a bowl of chicken soup was upside down on the shopkeeper's face! He bet the shopkeeper had never opened his eyes so wide in his life!

Because the chicken soup was poured into the edge of the nose, the shopkeeper stood upright, with a chair behind his back, and jumped around the store like a frog, and after the chicken soup in his face and nose was shaken off, he shouted in a dumb voice: "Spare your life!" Auntie and grandmother spare your life! I said, I said, I ****** say anything, I can't stand it, I really can't stand it! ”

Waiting for this sentence, Xu Moxuan immediately raised his mind, and listened to the shopkeeper say: "Actually, those killers have nothing to do with me, I just took their money, let them ambush here, and then help them lead a few guest officers to the right position, so that they can assassinate!" I really don't know who they are? A couple of guest officers, I'm not lying! ”

After hearing this, Han Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger, and she said, "Shopkeeper, are you stupid for us?" You haven't been here for long, have you? When did you and your guys in the shop see us, and why did you feel like you were like something when you saw us coming in, offering affection for nothing, either treachery or theft, you don't know? ”

"You are guest officers, of course we have to be affectionate!" The shopkeeper was still cunning, but when he saw Han Ling's face change, his eyes shot like a sharp sword, and he smiled again, "We have seen the portraits of all the guest officers, so we ......."

Dishonest! Still lying!

Han Ling personally picked up another plate of suckling pork and walked towards the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, you don't think you've eaten enough, do you?" She said.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that the fat on his face trembled again, and he hurriedly begged again: "Don't don't, I said I said, I also heard that the assassin who took the lead mentioned a person, maybe they were very likely to assassinate this prince on the order of this person......"

"Who is this man?" Han Ling and Xu Moxuan asked in unison.

But just as they finished speaking, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, his breath was suffocated, and the whole person fell straight down!

When Xu Moxuan squatted down to check, he saw that there was an extra silver needle on the back of the shopkeeper at some point, and a guy beside him also had a sudden change in his face, and his eyes showed an extremely fierce light.

Han Ling was horrified when he saw this, and just as the guy's wrist flipped and was ready to attack, he pressed the mechanical wrist guard between his right hand, and a golden silk spat out, piercing the guy's chest.

Xu Moxuan found out that the guy was holding a silver needle in his right hand, which meant that if Han Ling didn't shoot the golden silk in time, he would kill the guy. Then he will be the next to fall to the ground!

Shocked, Xu Moxuan looked at Han Ling with great gratitude and great surprise!

He was naturally grateful that Han Ling had saved him, but he was surprised that she had killed someone for him?

"Yang Aling, you killed someone! You are so vicious at a young age, you can still kill people? Shao Yunyan screamed!

Yang Yizhi and Yang Xizhi also came to Han Ling's side with some worry.

"This young lady, you have to figure it out. Who is going to kill whom? Yang Xizhi couldn't help but say angrily to Shao Yunyan. What happened just now is obvious to everyone, I hope you don't open your eyes and talk nonsense! ”

"Anyway, Yang Ling is a murderer. She's just killed, I saw it with my own eyes! Shao Yunyan's eyes showed a glint of anger and fear.

"Forget it, cousin Xizhi, the Shao family and our Yang family are not compatible. What Shao Yunyan said can convince several people, and it is not easy to stay here for a long time. Let's get out of here! Han Ling stopped Yang Xizhi and said.

"But cousin...... Yang Xizhi was still a little uneasy, after all, this was Tongzhou Station, and so many people died in this inn would definitely attract the attention of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. At that time, the people in the government will need witnesses, if Shao Yunyan testifies that her cousin is the murderer, then ......

"Your cousin is right. Shao Yunyan's confession alone is not enough to prove the ins and outs of this matter. The government Yin Yamen will definitely be able to find out clearly, and those officials are not taking the country's money for nothing! When Yang Mingxuan said this, he glanced at Xu Moxuan again, and said with some regret, "It's just that as soon as these killers died and the clues were interrupted, Fifth Young Master Xu still couldn't find out who the main messenger behind this was?" ”

"Who else?" Xu Moxuan stood up, his expression angry and bitter, "Who else can there be besides that woman?" ”

"The fifth young master is saying...... Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess? Although Han Ling asked this, she didn't dare to be completely harsh in her heart, she had also suspected Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but she faintly felt that things were not so simple, especially what was the reason for the hatred between the fifth young master and Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, in his previous life? Why would he kill Lu Bing at any cost? You must know that Lu Bing is the father of his best friend Lu Yanzhao.

These killers are extraordinary, as if they have received professional training in the army, could these killers be the Jinyi guards sent by Lu Bing?

*****

"Did you find it? Where did the Fifth Young Master go? The eldest princess was sitting in the warm pavilion built in the side hall of the Danyang Palace, and was holding a glass cup to taste the new Biluochun, her expression was very solemn, so that several guards kneeling in front of her were very nervous!

"Quickly answer Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, is that kid dead or alive now, and where is he? Where have you been in the past two days? "Mother Qin is on the side, and the dog is on the side!

One of the guards at the head bowed slightly, and replied: "The fifth young master went to the Yang family in Dingyuan County, Fengyang Mansion yesterday, and today he came to the capital with Yang Wulang Yang Mingxuan and his family. ”

The eldest princess held the glass cup in her hand and looked at the guard who answered in surprise.

"Went to Yang's house? What did he do at Yang's house? She asked strangely, not as if she didn't care what kind of assassin the Fifth Young Master was hunted down by.

The guard thought about it carefully and replied: "The fifth young master first went to the Nanjing military camp to visit Yang Shilang Yang Mingyu, and then returned to the Yang family with Yang Mingyu, he seems to want to propose to Yang Shilang to marry the niece of the Yang family, that is, Yang Ling, the daughter of Mrs. Yang. ”

The eldest princess's expression was stunned, and then she showed a mocking smile, she put down the glass cup in her hand, picked up a Geng post with the eight characters of her birthday written on the table, and said with a smile: "When he really doesn't want to get married in this palace, he already has a favorite girl, does he really think that he can make his own decisions about everything?" ”

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, do you know, the third lady originally told the fifth young master an excellent family matter, or the fourth lady of the Wuding Houfu family, although it is the identity of the concubine, but the young lady has been cultivated by Miss Wuding Houdang since she was a child, she looks like a flower and the moon, and she knows all the poems and women's red, and she can get a good embroidery, with the fifth young master, an illegitimate son who does not learn and has no skills, it is more than enough, Mrs. Wuding Hou also agreed, but the fifth young master took Wuding Houshi to play a few games in the Qianjin Gambling House, insisted that Wu Dinghou Shizi lost 100,000 taels of silver, and finally sent a letter to Wu Dinghou, saying that his son owed him a lot of money, and sarcastically said that he wanted to use his daughter to pay off the debt if he had no money! ”

"That Wu Dinghou was so angry that he returned Geng Tie on the same day! The third lady was also so angry that she had nothing to say, you said, who would dare to come to the Xu family to say goodbye to the fifth young master in the future? Mother Qin said with a mocking face, gritting her teeth.

The eldest princess sneered when she heard this, but she laughed lightly: "In the past, the palace ordered several family affairs for the prince, wasn't he also messed up?" This kid usually doesn't care about reading, and he doesn't know the words, chapters, poems, and scriptures, but he has an amazing talent for arithmetic, and he can be regarded as having his ability. ”

"But does he really think he can make his own decisions about everything?" The eldest princess suddenly changed her words and said.

"Your Highness, do you want to tell the Fifth Young Master about a family matter?" Mother Qin also asked sadly.

"Since he has the ability to destroy the family affairs that others tell him, then we will do the opposite!" The eldest princess turned around and set her eyes on a sticker on the table again, "Mrs. Yang's daughter? Isn't it an orphan girl who stayed with a divorced woman? This kid is actually interested in such a girl? ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, do you know, the eldest young master and the fifth young master had a relationship with Mrs. Yang's daughter seven years ago, and the eyeliner placed by the slave maid next to the eldest young master has seen this girl taken back to Tingyulou by the eldest young master in the middle of the night!"

Hearing such news, the eldest princess's face was full of surprise and a hint of inexplicable smile.

"With such a thing, why haven't you reported to the palace before?" The eldest princess said unhappily.

Mother Qin immediately bowed down and apologized: "The slave and maid should die, the slave maid originally wanted to pull out the girl and hand it over to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but because the eldest young master was cautious, coupled with the arrogance and unreasonable behavior of the fifth young master, the matter was concealed by them, and then the girl was no longer in our Wei State Mansion, and the slave and maid did not dare to cause trouble in vain, so the slave and maid did not report this matter to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

After that, she also knelt down and said, "Please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to punish her!" ”

"There is no need for punishment, get up!" The eldest princess suddenly stood up and paced a few steps in the warm pavilion.

"The prince is seriously ill now, and the grandfather of the country wants to ask for a family affair for the prince to chongxi, most of the nobles in the capital have a tough family background, and there are not many who can come to chongxi willingly, plus the grandfather of the country has to pick a clean family background, if it is ......"

The eldest princess was still groaning, Mother Qin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly rejoiced: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess means that finding a way to set this daughter of Mrs. Yang for the eldest young master, firstly, you can rejoice for the eldest young master, and secondly, you can also separate the relationship between the eldest young master and the fifth young master, right?" ”

The smile on the eldest princess's face froze, and her eyes were extremely sharp.

Mother Qin knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly slapped herself and said: "Look at the slave and maid is really old and confused, so as not to have ears on the wall, the slave and maid must remember it in the future!" ”

"Go and find out what kind of dealings Mrs. Yang's daughter had with the eldest young master and the fifth young master in the past, what happened to them, the case of the Yang family seven years ago, Shu Xuan must have helped behind his back, if there is such a relationship, then the Yang family owes our Xu family a great favor, even if they let their niece marry into the Xu family, they have no reason to refuse!" The eldest princess said.

Mother Qin also nodded again and again: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, please rest assured, this matter will definitely be done!" ”

The eldest princess looked at Mother Qin, with a hint of a smile on her face, and after being silent for a while, she said, "Before this matter is done, you must not let the fifth young master know, without further ado, let's do it quickly!" ”

Mother Qin answered, with a gloomy smile, and immediately stood up, bowed and retreated.

After Qin's mother left, the eldest princess called a maidservant girl in again and asked, "Has the prince woken up now?" ”

The maidservant replied, "Shi Zichen was waking up for a moment, and after drinking the medicine, he fell asleep again!" ”

"Are you sleeping again?" An inexplicable smile rose on the eldest princess's lips, it seems that her amazing stepson really won't live long, "It's time for Bengong to go and see him!" (To be continued.) )
