Chapter 247: Red Umbrella
"This ......, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Shopkeeper Li squeaked and couldn't say why.
Nie Shuyao took two steps back and said with a smile: "It turns out that this is a misunderstanding." However, this misunderstanding is not good, it is better for the shopkeeper to free our food and lodging. Don't worry, we'll leave in two days when the county government closes the case. β
So many people eat and live, and the daily expenses are a lot, and those horses also have to eat grass, which is all silver!
When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a decent smile squeezed out of his fat face, "What the girl said is that the little one was also harmed." Girl, you have a lot of money, and all your expenses in our inn are free, just stay. If you want to eat something, you can tell us to shop for a second. β
Then, he said to a few shopkeepers around him: "Did you hear that?" All the orders of this girl are given priority. β
"Yes, shopkeeper." All the little two said in unison.
Nie Shuyao nodded, "It's pretty much the same." However, my retinue ...... with my friends. β
"The same, the same priority." Shopkeeper Li smiled again.
"Okay, that girl doesn't care. We'll go when I've had enough! Nie Shuyao put on the style of a young lady and took Jiang Wan'er upstairs elegantly.
The remaining two people, Song Yunfei and Jiang Yi, glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, making him break out in a cold sweat.
After everyone went upstairs, Shopkeeper Li breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "I was blinded by the geese all day long, but I was caught by the geese, I really lost my eyes." I hope the county master doesn't blame me. Alas! β
After Nie Tianxi knew that his sister had come back safely, he ran to her room as soon as possible.
"Sister, are you okay?"
There were already four people sitting at the round table in the room, and one seat was empty, and it was clear that everyone was waiting for him.
Nie Shuyao smiled: "It's okay, sit!" Let's find out what this is all about. β
Nie Tianxi said: "No one in our carriage has done anything to do anything, Brother Lengzi and they are watching, and Shui Lan has not come down in the carriage." β
"Well, you can't break people over there, I'm afraid that someone will accidentally take advantage of it." Nie Shuyao told him what happened in the county office.
When Nie Tianxi heard that the county order of Suiling County turned out to be Liu Ruyuan, he knew that this matter could not be a misunderstanding, and said: "I have long seen that Liu Ruyuan is not pleasing to the eye, and when I was in Qu County, I think he instigated Su Mao to do it." β
In Qu County, Song Yunfei and Jiang Yi didn't know much about it, it was a case they completed with Shen Xinlu.
Nie Shuyao nodded and said, "The more I think about this, the more abnormal it becomes. When Liu Zhutou came to arrest us, he said that this was a big case of slaughtering the village, but don't you feel too calm when it comes to the reaction of Liu Ruyuan, the county magistrate? That's a big case, more than a dozen people died! And that Luo Erlang was the only witness, and his appearance was too calm. β
Several people fell into deep thought, and Jiang Yi said, "Shu Yao wants to solve this case?" β
Jiang Wan'er continued: "We must find out, we are not so easy to be wronged." Right? β
Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "It seems that Wan'er really wants to be the first female guard of the Ming Dynasty." β
"Oh, how did you say that?" Jiang Wan'er glanced at Jiang Yi a little shyly, she didn't want Jiang Yi to know about this.
But Jiang Yi rarely smiled gently at him, "It's good that my junior sister has lofty ideals, and I think that the master is also very willing for my junior sister to become the first female guard of the Ming Dynasty." β
"Really?" When Jiang Wan'er heard his praise, her face showed a little dizziness.
"Ahem!" Nie Shuyao interrupted Jiang Wan'er's fantasy very immorally, "Wan'er, pay attention, we're in a meeting." β
Jiang Wan'er pouted and whispered, "I really don't like you." β
Nie Shuyao said: "Each other! β
The two of them glanced at each other, and at this moment they both put on ignorant looks; The others also looked at each other, they are called friends and foes, maybe!
Song Yunfei was very eye-catching, and pulled Nie Shuyao's sleeve and said, "Shuyao, do you think such a murder really happened in Shilipo outside the city?" β
The so-called word startles the person in the dream, which is the case.
Nie Shuyao always felt that there was a murder in Shilipo, but when Song Yunfei said this, and the reactions of Liu Ruyuan and Luo Erlang today were uncertain.
"There should be, right? Could it be that this qiΔ is all fake? β
Nie Tianxi continued: "Maybe that's not true. We are strangers, and we don't know if there is a place outside the city, so how can we know if this is true or false. β
At the beginning of this, everyone spoke freely.
Jiang Yi said: "Could it be that someone wants to blackmail us?" β
"Highly likely!" The four of them said in unison.
They were riding in a four-wheeled carriage, and Nie Shuyao believed that after this year's publicity, many people knew how valuable this car was, and those who could afford it would certainly not be poor.
And she still remembered what Liu Putou said, there were rut marks of the four-wheeled carriage at the scene of the murder, which further showed that some people had been eyeing the four-wheeled carriage and them from the beginning.
"Since when?" Nie Shuyao muttered to herself.
Nie Tianxi replied: "Maybe we were targeted as soon as we entered the city yesterday. β
Song Yunfei said: "Do you want me to take Xiaoqing to loosen the bones for the shopkeeper, a fat man like this is the most beaten." β
Nie Shuyao frowned, "Why did you beat him?" β
"When did he deliver our news to the county government?"
"Well." Nie Shuyao thought about it for a while and felt that this might be a good idea, but she still stopped it and said, "You better quietly inquire about the shopkeeper and Liu Ruyuan's reputation, but you can't lose a big deal because of a small thing." β
Song Yunfei smiled: "Understood." β
looked at Jiang Wan'er and said, "You have to have Miss Lao Wan'er's disguise technique." β
"What's so hard about this, it's on me. I still have a few unused masks, so I'll give them to you. Jiang Wan'er said, in fact, her hands are also itchy.
Speaking of masks, Nie Shuyao said, "Wan'er, you can also make a mask for a few of us." Otherwise, I will paint a makeup for Xi'er and them, I don't want Liu Ruyuan to know our true identity, he is a protΓ©gΓ© of Master Pang after all. If he was corrupt and perverted the law, it would not be so easy to fall, and it would not be good for him to be remembered. β
Jiang Wan'er pondered for a moment and said, "There aren't so many masks, I'll teach you some basic disguise techniques." β
"Okay, okay, thank you Wan'er." Nie Shuyao said with a smile, she had been spying on this disguise technique for a long time.
After Jiang Wan'er had done all the pigments and basic techniques to change her complexion, Nie Tianxi had become mature from a gentle teenager, and she was still a little depressed. The corners of his eyes were pulled up a little, which made people feel that this person was not easy to mess with.
Nie Shuyao also did a little test on her face, and became a cold woman, if she didn't smile, she wouldn't be able to recognize this as a gentle and lovely beautiful girl.
"Not bad! Okay, let's take our places, if nothing happens in two days, we will go straight to Yangzhou. After saying that, she felt as if she had forgotten about the two of them.
"What about the old man? And Brother Feng didn't come either. β
Everyone looked at Nie Tianxi, he scratched his head and said, "The old man seems to have said that he went out of the city to find Shilipo, and he handed over the carriage to us." As for Brother Feng'......, he said that he had something urgent to go out, but he hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know what the urgency was. β
"That's right." Nie Shuyao still thinks that this matter is not so simple, the old man is out of the horse, can things still be simple? But Feng Wuya is also a little strange.
After everyone disbanded, Nie Shuyao sat alone in front of the window and watched the scenery.
Her room is in a good location, and you can see the people on the street from the window. There was still a little sunshine in the morning, but by the time breakfast came, it was already drizzling.
The people on the street held up oil-paper umbrellas and walked in this smoke and rain, everywhere was wet, and the blue and black colors were overwhelming, which was really not very good-looking.
Occasionally, one or two umbrellas with beautiful pictures appear, which will become an embellishment of blue and black; It's like a little red in the green bushes, and it's incomparably pretty.
The corners of Nie Shuyao's mouth also curled, this is already Jiangnan! The biggest difference between Jiangnan and Jiangbei is the gentle drizzle, just like the girl who met her sweetheart, who was ashamed to refuse and welcome.
Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a red umbrella with a bright red background, with only a few scattered bamboo leaves painted on one side. Compared to this full blue and black color, it is really eye-catching.
The person holding the umbrella couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from the color of the clothes that were exposed, this person should be a woman, and he was also wearing red.
Most of the people in the market wear green and soap, and if it is not for marriage, it is really rare to wear red clothes on the street. Therefore, Nie Shuyao's eyes stared at this person again and again.
After a while, she realized that this person was walking towards the Xiangtai Inn, "What kind of person is this?" β
Suddenly, Nie Shuyao had the urge to find out the true face of the person under the umbrella, thinking that she must be a charming beauty.
Looking at it, there was a discordant shadow next to the red umbrella, and the old man appeared.
He seemed to be in a hurry, even a little panicked, and with his head down, he just crashed straight into the owner of the red umbrella.
"Oops!" The owner of the red umbrella didn't say anything, but the old man covered his head and shouted.
Then, the old man still didn't raise his head and apologized to the man, "I'm really sorry, it's all because the old man doesn't have long eyes when he walks, girl, don't worry about the old man if you have a lot." β
The red umbrella was crooked by the old man, but Nie Shuyao saw the "girl" upstairs, if she hadn't seen the appearance with her own eyes, I'm afraid she would have regarded this person as a girl, but in fact, this is a man.
I can't see it clearly upstairs, and with the drizzle, I feel that this person's face has become hazy, but there is a different beauty in the haze.
The slender eyes were also a little blurry in the rain; The high bridge of the nose, the sexy thin lips, and the slightly pointed chin all silently tell the word "beauty".
Fortunately, the sword eyebrows made people feel heroic, which suppressed the soft temperament of the whole face. But that's it, Nie Shuyao also felt that this person was the most beautiful man she had ever seen.
Upstairs, I saw him hook the corners of his mouth and say two words. Nie Shuyao hurriedly rushed downstairs, leaving only one sentence, "Shui Lan, watch the door!" βR1152
