Chapter 259: Re-enter Bluestone Lane
On this night, many people are destined to have no sleep!
But there was no sleep, Nie Shuyao still got up early. Pushing open the window along the street, it has been raining for several days, but today it is a sunny day. There is a slight morning mist outside the window, and the sunlight reflects on it, which has a unique style with the blue bricks and tiles.
She took a deep breath and said softly, "The weather is good, the air is good, I don't know if someone's mood is also good!" â
"What's good, what's good, you're practicing your mouth?" Jiang Wan'er's voice came from behind herself, and she could hear that she was in a good mood.
Nie Shuyao turned around, smiled at her, and said, "Why doesn't Wan'er sleep more?" I earned Pang Yujuan a thousand taels of silver, thanks to you. â
Jiang Wan'er twisted her neck and said, "Don't say that you don't know that most people who practice martial arts are used to getting up early!" â
It's true, Nie Shuyao doesn't have the habit of sleeping lazy, it's just that this habit was taught by Nie's with a whip, and later Nie's went there, and this habit couldn't be changed.
The two looked at each other and smiled, giving each other a lukewarm smile to each other.
After a while, Shui Lan also got up and blamed herself: "It's late, please punish Miss." â
Nie Shuyao said: "Okay, let's punish it next time." Let's go downstairs to eat first, and by the way, see if someone has ready the silver. â
No one downstairs had breakfast at this time, and even the shopkeeper who was waiting yawned from time to time.
As Nie Shuyao expected, I didn't see Shopkeeper Li behind the counter, this is to let them go out openly. I can't say I can't go to Bluestone Lane today.
It's just that Zhu Hong went to Qingshi Lane and hasn't come back yet, I don't know what he asked?
Instinctively told her that Zhu Hong had a different friendship with the old genius Ji Lin, could it be because of Zheng Ruoyun? When you think about it this way, it makes sense.
Nie Shuyao held the famous "Sanding Bun" in one hand, and while thinking, he slowly forgot the bun in his hand.
"Gee, I didn't expect you to have breakfast here." Pang Yujuan's unique hurtful tone resounded in everyone's eardrums.
Nie Shuyao looked up and saw that she was dressed properly, her outfit was beautiful and concise, especially suitable for going out. I was slightly taken aback, this girl still has two times, I remember the first time I saw her, she was dressed up in a showy manner, and that look was not as good as it is now.
To tell the truth, Pang Yujuan is not ugly, her eyes are big and her skin is white, and she is tall; It's just that the sarcastic tone and the expression of contempt for people make her beauty greatly reduced.
Pang Yujuan knew that she was stunned by her dress today, and giggled: "Haven't you seen it?" This is the latest riding outfit in the capital. It's not something that most people can wear! â
As he spoke, he glanced at Nie Shuyao with contemptuous eyes.
Nie Shuyao knew that this was showing off, so he took a bite of the bun and said, "Oh, no wonder." â
This outfit is characterized by arrow sleeves, a round neck, and culottes underneath, which you can't tell when you don't walk with a lot of steps.
Nie Shuyao nodded again, not for this costume, but for this Ming Zhengde period, which has changed a lot. In ancient times, women basically did not wear long pants in front of people, which would be ridiculed.
But now that there are women's riding clothes, at least women's status is not so low. This is a good thing for Nie Shuyao!
"Humph!" Pang Yujuan snorted coldly, "Let's go to Qingshi Lane first, you eat slowly." â
When they walked to Song Yunfei's side, the two gave each other a disgusted look, which was not pleasing to anyone.
Nie Shuyao didn't care about this, she ate and drank slowly and methodically, and then went out.
All of them went out, except for Luo Lang, who didn't dare to go out.
Shilipo is still the same, a paradise for criminals. Seeing so many people walking together, no one dared to come out and make a mistake, and the children who had no father were hiding in the shadows and observing them curiously.
Shun lĂŹ came to Bluestone Lane, Zhu Hong and the blind old man Ji Lin stood at the head of the alley waiting for them.
Pang Yujuan's carriage was stopped by him, and Pang Yujuan was shouting and trying to drive over.
Ji Lin, who was beside Zhu Hong, shut her up smoothly, "Do you want the old man to tell the old man what happened that day?" â
Pang Yujuan took two steps back, her face changed drastically, "You, have you seen it all?" â
Ji Lin sneered, changed his humble attitude in the past, and said: "If you don't want people to know, unless you can't do it." â
"Humph!" Pang Yujuan didn't lose the battle, and said to Chunliu and Qingke: "You stay here!" â
"Yes, Miss." The two didn't ask why, and they didn't care a word, so they just responded.
Nie Shuyao's carriage also stayed here, leaving Second Artillery, Shui Lan, and Leng Zi to watch with Song Qing. With them, there is no need to worry about the people of Shilipo, let alone Qingke's ill intentions.
The group walked to the depths of Bluestone Lane under the leadership of Zhu Hong.
Nie Shuyao was very curious, how could Ji Lin agree to them to investigate?
Jiang Yi came to Nie Shuyao's side with a worried look and said in a low voice, "Shuyao, please be sure to find the body." The black dick is dead, and I grant his last request. â
"What request?" Nie Shuyao didn't squint, and also asked in a low voice.
"Let him be buried with his eldest brother, he and the black boss are twin brothers, and they are all killers cultivated by Master Pang."
Nie Shuyao nodded quietly, and then asked, "How did Uncle Zhu know that we were coming here to investigate?" â
Jiang Yi said: "I sued him last night." â
Nie Shuyao had already thought of this, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." â
The two glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
Then, Jiang Wan'er pulled Jiang Yi a few steps behind, and the two were whispering again.
Nie Shuyao knew that Jiang Wan'er had something to ask, so she didn't care, and concentrated on following behind.
Two days later, I felt that the weeds between the stone slabs on the soles of my feet had grown a lot. Especially today, the weather is fine and the weeds look brighter than ever.
Gradually, I came to the middle of Bluestone Alley, and the unpleasant smell came again.
Nie Shuyao and the others had already prepared, and they all put on makeshift masks. It's just that Pang Yujuan is bitter, she looks left and right and it really stinks.
Quietly came to Nie Shuyao and said, "Sell me the one you wear on your face!" â
She used the command form, Nie Shuyao rolled her eyes and pretended not to hear.
"To give or not to give?"
"Ten taels of silver!"
"Ten taels? Why don't you grab it? As she spoke, Pang Yujuan's voice became louder.
Nie Shuyao said disapprerovingly: "You go and grab one to try?" â
"Humph!" Pang Yujuan, who was so stinky, had no choice but to take out ten taels of silver ingots.
While wearing a mask, he muttered, "Why is it so stinky, it wasn't so stinky last time I came." What kind of fat did this old man make! â
This was originally Pang Yujuan's complaint, but it was different in Nie Shuyao's ears, maybe it was because of that smell. After all, it's been four days, and it's so hot.
Everyone walked for nearly two quarters of an hour on the bluestone paved road to the end, and also passed by the place where Nie Shuyao had suspected, where new grass sprouts had emerged. But this made Nie Shuyao even more suspicious that there was something wrong with this part of the road.
As we all know, there is a cycle in the growth of grass, if the grass that has grown is pressed with a slate, the grass will be reborn and the grass will drill out of the slate one step earlier, and the leaves of the grass are different.
It takes at least four or five days for a grass seed to germinate, not to mention even longer if it grows to a length that can drill out of a slate.
And Ji Lin said that this section of the road was deliberately replaced with a new slate, so the grass under the original slate should be removed. Even if you don't get rid of it, you can't guarantee that these stone slabs will still be paved according to the original arrangement, not to mention that along the way, there is no regular stone slab in this bluestone alley.
Ji Lin said that it was true that he had picked them up, but the weeds under the stone slabs betrayed him, and he was lying. Maybe it's because after asking last time, he found some new turf.
"I already know your bet, and I've traveled this way, I don't know what I found?" Zhu Hong asked.
He changed the red clothes he wore that day, and today he wore a royal blue round-necked robe, which reflected his bewitching face a lot higher.
Pang Yujuan looked at him as if she hadn't heard his words, and muttered, "I seem to have heard my nurse talk about you." â
Zhu Hong said to himself: "My name is still known to many people in Beijing, although I have been away from Beijing for many years, it seems that there are still many people who remember it." â
"Oh, stinky beauty!" Song Yunfei snorted coldly, but he still hasn't remembered who this person is.
Zhu Hong was not annoyed by this, and looked at Nie Shuyao and said, "What does Shu Yao think?" â
Nie Shuyao turned around and looked back and forth, fixed his eyes on the stone slab that seemed to be problematic, and said, "I still insist that there are people buried here who shouldn't be buried!" â
"What about the evidence?" Pang Yujuan preemptively said, "You have to pay attention to evidence in everything." â
"That's right!" Nie Shuyao nodded and said, "I probably already know where people are buried, but there is still a shortage of manpower." â
Zhu Hong clapped his hands and said, "The manpower is already ready." â
A few people walked out of the woods on the side, led by Zhu Hong's protectors, followed by four catchers, and Liu catchers were impressively in the ranks.
Nie Shuyao looked at Zhu Hong and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu is still thoughtful." Then he looked at Ji Lin, "I don't know what Mr. Ji thinks?" â
Ji Lin raised his head and glared at Zhu Hong when he heard this title, and said in a hoarse voice: "You said everything?" â
Zhu Hong said: "Brother Ji, you shouldn't stay here for the rest of your life, you have done everything you should do." â
Ji Lin sneered: "It's not enough! â
Nie Shuyao had been paying attention to him since he spoke, and this sentence "not enough" made him feel cold.
"Mr. Ji, there is no turning back when you open the bow. You...... Are you really ready to be enlightened? Nie Shuyao asked again.
Ji Lin was dressed neatly today, and the blind eye was also covered with a black eye cover. Wen Yan looked at Nie Shuyao and said with a smile: "The little girl understands the rose flower language very well, and the old man has been loveless since fifteen years ago. â
"Why bother?" Nie Shuyao sighed, "I think there are a lot of people buried in this land." â
Ji Lin had already closed his eyes and never said a word again.
Nie Shuyao looked at Pang Yujuan, "Did you bring the silver ticket?" I'm going to win this game again! â
"Humph!" Pang Yujuan turned her head and didn't look at her, but she regretted it in her heart, she knew that this blind old man was also helping her, so she didn't bet with her. R1152
