364. in the first place
Yan Lian didn't answer immediately, but pinched her chin, looked up at the inconspicuous hut, and asked with a little meaning, "What is this place?" β
Mei Yihong followed her gaze and frowned, "I don't know, this, I should ask the city lord!" β
Yan Lian was stunned, feeling that she was really stupid once, so she nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go to the city lord," this city lord is really cute, and he has completed the tasks he has assigned beautifully, so that the soldiers in the barracks are happy, not afraid that there will be no cold protection, and there will be people who will freeze to death this year.
With warm clothing, everyone warms each other, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Yan Lian, you haven't told me yet, who is this woman? How did you know people? Mei Yihong followed behind her, and when she saw that she had found the City Lord's Mansion and went straight to the past, she couldn't help but wonder: how much did she know about Tianshui City? It's like he's been mixing things up for years, and it's even more familiar than he is.
Asked by Mei Yihong, Yan Lian's brows frowned, then slowly turned around, looked at him and hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "She...... It's called Ying Yanhe,"
"Ying Yanhe?" Ying Yanlian? What relationship? Mei Yihong's eyes widened instantly, even a fool could understand the relationship. "Why is she here?" knew that there were some things in Yan Lian's family, but specifically, he really didn't know, and he just guessed the identity of the family because of the name.
But how could a person who was far away outside the capital appear in Tianshui City, and it was still mysterious, as if there was something unsightly - if it was in the capital, it must be guarded against and taboo. However, this is Tianshui City, who will know her Ying Yanhe?
This is a bit of a place without three hundred taels of silver, and it is clear to the people that she has a problem.
Shrugging her shoulders, Yan Lian took down the cotton cloth holding her head, and said with a tangled expression: "I want to know more than you why she is in Tianshui City, and who brought her here - at the beginning, in order to replace me as the second lady of Beichen Mansion, she caught the son of the Jiangnan Boat King to be her own son, but I was poked by me, and she was already a little crazy." But now, she is not only good, but also has changed a lot! β
If it weren't for the fact that she inadvertently saw her side face, just looking at the back, she really couldn't see it, she was the Ying Yanhe before.
Ying Yanhe is younger than herself, she used to be petite and petite, and she was raised very well by the Ying family's big house. But now, I don't know if it's intentional, like a middle-aged woman, she looks much older than herself.
As soon as Mei Yihong heard Yan Lian's words, his face became stern. Now it's war, and the most taboo thing is that someone is making trouble in the back.
Yan Lian originally went to the City Lord's Mansion, but when she thought that she was wearing women's clothes now, she hesitated for a moment, and decided to change her clothes, so as not to be seen by the City Lord.
She doesn't care about men's and women's clothes, I'm afraid that the city lord won't be able to accept it.
Mei Yihong wore a mask and stood silently behind Yan Lian like a hidden guard, as if to protect her, so it did not arouse the doubts of the father and son of the owner.
"Is there a problem with the people in that hut?" When the city lord heard this, he immediately asked.
"It's a bit of a problem," Yan Lian touched her forehead, and after a low pause, she said, "That woman has been looking around, as if she is afraid of being known or seen...... When we got there, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, which was completely different from the random and excited knocking on the door when we went home! β
Isn't it necessary to be so rhythmic when someone comes home? Moreover, she also felt that Ying Yanhe would be here, which should not be so simple. Can she, a penniless woman, come to Tianshui City, thousands of miles away?
By walking, it won't be so coincidental.
The East City Lord and his son glanced at each other, nodded silently, and said calmly: "Since Childe has found out that something is wrong, then I will immediately send someone to keep an eye on it, if it is really as Childe said, I will arrest someone to ask,"
ββ¦β¦ It's best not to startle the snake, if there's anything wrong, just come and tell me, I live in ......," Yan Lian said where Mei Yihong lived, and then admonished: "If there is something to tell sΓΉ to watch the door, I may not be there, leave a message to him, I will come over when I know." β
"Good!" How could the people around the War King be waiting over there, so they were very understanding of this.
Yan Lian is now thinking about how Ying Yanhe is here, who brought her here, and what is the purpose. Why is it here, you can go to other places, and it is better to stay here than to go to the rich south. At least there is no need to spend the cold winter over there, it's not as cold as here, and it's still trapped in the city, and you can't go anywhere.
Within two days, Dong Congrong brought them news, saying that Ying Yanhe would go to the city gate every day after getting up, and asked the soldiers guarding the city gate when the city gate would be opened, saying that there was something very important to go out of the city...... Because of the heavy snow blocking the road, no matter how Ying Yanhe wanted to get out of the city, he couldn't get out, so he could only come and ask every day.
Seeing Ying Yanhe wander at the city gate for a few steps again, he turned around and left helplessly, with a strong unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
"Why did she go out of town?" Mei Yihong muttered in a low voice on the side, he knew well about the grievances between Ying Yanhe and Ying Yanlian, and he really felt that the departed woman was full of weirdness.
What kind of heart is this woman pressing?
"Is there anyone else in that room?" Yan Lian didn't answer Mei Yihong's doubts, but looked back at Dong who was standing behind her and asked calmly and solemnly.
"Yes," Dong calmly replied without hesitation, in a firm tone, "However, I can't see who it is, I never appear, I only show it when I open the door, and I usually am in the house...... And the woman cooks and washes in that room, just like a woman on a daily basis, nothing special. β
If it weren't for people saying that she had a problem, such an ordinary woman would really be ignored.
"We have to find out who the people in the house are, so that we can know what Ying Yanhe has always wanted to go out of the city for," Yan Lian frowned, looked at Dong and said calmly: "Is there a way to force that man out?" β
"This ...... You have to think about it," Dong Congrong didn't nod all of a sudden, but said with some hesitation.
"You must force people out," Yan Lian also said vaguely and directly.
"Yes!" This time, Dong Congrong can't even be hypocritical.
There is no excuse, even if the city is interrogating strangers and looking for spies in the Jin Kingdom, the doors of that family will be opened. Because Yan Lian knew Ying Yanhe, she wanted to know if the man in the house was also known to her...... Because of this, Yan Lian put on makeup and mixed in with the people who were checking, wanting to see who was with Ying Yanhe.
"Who are you?" The knock on the door rang for a long time, and when Yan Lian and the others thought that Ying Yanhe would not open the door, she opened the door slowly, and after seeing the official at the door, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and then she lowered her head to cover it up, and asked uneasily.
"Check people, who's in the house!?" The officials of the fox and the fake tiger are familiar with such things, not to mention, they know that this family is going to focus on the investigation, so the tone is extremely strict.
Ying Yanhe didn't look up, but lowered her head humbly and said, "Home...... There are only little women and little women men in the house,"
"Where's your man?" The official asked proudly.
"In ...... In the house, he has a leg illness and can't come out," Ying Yanhe kept her head down, not looking at the person who came in at all, so she didn't know that Yanlian had been probing her.
Can't get out? These words made Yan Lian, Mei Yihong and Dong calmly glance at each other, and felt that what she said was problematic.
Probably the previous cross-examination, that's what she said, that's why she missed the man in her mouth, after all, a lame man, who cares.
But a few of them clearly knew that the man who came to speak was a able-bodied man with no problem at all.
"Let's take a look," Dong Congrong commanded, and several people walked forward, and Yan Lian was among them.
When Ying Yanhe heard this, he saw that the situation was a little different from before, so he raised his head tremblingly and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, my family is cowardly, don't scare him,"
"It's just a routine check, it's going to be fine, don't be too nervous," Dong calmly saw that she was about to break in, so he immediately stopped her and smiled and comforted.
Ying Yanhe looked at the handsome man in front of her, and her heart was entangled, not knowing whether she should stay here or go inside...... Inside, there should be no problem, right!?
When Ying Yanhe was entangled, Yan Lian had already followed those people in, hiding in the dark to observe the man hiding in the house and pretending to be crippled.
When she saw the man lying on the bed, her eyes widened suddenly, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she winked at Mei Yihong and signaled that she could go.
Although Mei Yihong didn't understand, when she saw her say this, she asked a few casual questions, and she didn't let the lying on the bed get out of bed ...... to move around.
After coming out of that room, Yan Lian heard a "bang" at the door, so she looked back and looked coldly, and then walked forward without looking back, and looked at Mei Yihong calmly, I don't know why her expression changed all of a sudden.
Those who came with him had already been liberated by Dong calmly waved his hand, so now only the three of them were together.
ββ¦β¦ That man, I know," Yan Lian rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, feeling that things were getting weirder and weirder. She never thought that the man who was with Ying Yanhe would be him. "From the capital!"
"Who?" Mei Yihong and Dong calmly asked in unison.
Both of them take Ying Yanlian as their heart, Mei Yihong is because she has her in her heart, so she is the same as Beichen Ao, spoiled, and obedient, plus she is the war princess recognized by Beichen Ao, so she is the first. And Dong Congrong still thinks that Ying Yanlian is a messenger sent by the War King, and she is linked to the City Lord's Mansion, so there is a little bit of neglect.
"Yu San," Yan Lian looked at Mei Yihong, sighed and said, "He is Grandma Yu's nephew, because he covets my Ying family's property, and he has some contradictions with me...... He is a gangster himself, he had a dirty affair with Ying Yanhe, let Ying Yanhe get pregnant before marriage, but as a result, he accidentally lost the child, and ended up with a lifetime of not being able to give birth - these two people should be enemies of life and death, how could they appear here together? β
If it were someone else, she didn't think things were so weird. But now, those who should have gone crazy have not gone crazy, those who should have disappeared have not disappeared, and those who should have become enemies have become husband and wife.
Who is doing this qiΔ?
Who is manipulating a qiΔ behind it?
At the beginning, after Ying Yanhe disappeared, no one in Ying's family went to look for her, let alone Ying Yanhe's mother-in-law, where would she think of her own mother-in-law, so she asked people to secretly check, and Ying Yanhe could not be found in the entire capital, and she thought she was crazy out of the city.
But now that I think about it, Ying Yanhe was taken away as soon as she left Beichen Mansion, and even Yu San was counted, and they left the capital together.
ββ¦β¦ The most important thing now is to know what exactly they want to do! Mei Yihong also knew that things were not simple, why did these two people appear in Tianshui City, and why did they act so strangely.
"It's been two years since these two people moved here," although Dong Congrong didn't understand what hatred people were talking about, he still had to tell it clearly if he wanted to investigate and say it. "Rarely go out, usually Ying Yanhe goes out to buy vegetables, the neighbor said, I didn't see them do anything, but the silver seems to be always used up, and it is mysterious, sometimes there will be violent quarrels and women's crying at home, but no one dares to ask, after all, they are not familiar!"
Dong calmly checked it carefully, but in the final analysis, it was very wrong with the two of them, mysterious and secretive, and the door was closed, and the slightest gap was not opened.
"Let people stare at it, see where she is going after she leaves the city, who she meets, and what she does," Yan Lian didn't feel a little happy when she saw Ying Yanhe, but felt that it was a conspiracy.
A conspiracy against Yingjia and her.
"Yes!" Dong Congrong naturally obeyed orders.
"What's wrong?" Mei Yihong saw that her feelings suddenly became low, so she asked in wonder.
Yan Lian looked up at the dazzling but cold sun, squinted her eyes slightly, and said a little depressedly: "I always feel that this matter is not simple, there is a deep involvement in it, I don't know how deep this water is!" β
"Don't worry, I didn't know before, but now I know, let people stare at it, no matter who Ying Yanhe sees or who he wants to meet, it will be clear, don't think nonsense!" This incident did not feel very good to him either.
Yan Lian was depressed because of this incident, and she walked carelessly on the road with some frost, Mei Yihong didn't interrupt her, but just followed closely behind her, not letting her have the slightest problem.
