Chapter 8 Accidents

"Why is it so slow!"

The official sedan chair came in a beautiful way, and the nobles in the sedan chair seemed to be shouting loudly - although the crowd gave way to retreat, it always seemed to be crowded slowly. What haven't the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven seen? Such a small official is really not worth mentioning.

In the crowd, a girl in a long emerald skirt was staring at the sedan chair, her eyes cold and indifferent, as if she was watching a performance of a dying person.

The long street made of bluestone has gone through the wind and frost years, has been eroded by the war, has also seen the rise and fall of glory and disgrace, and has been polished into smooth and delicate by the footsteps of the people in the city.

The people of Nanjing City are always peaceful and happy, busy for their livelihood every day, occasionally bumping into disputes, and only shouting a few words, rarely doing anything, let alone being as narrow-minded as those dignitaries and nobles.

Early this morning, the old man who was pulling a cart of tung flower oil staggered by, accidentally knocked over a can and spilled it on the street, and then sat down on the street and cried for a long time.

Some stall owners cursed, and some people tried to wipe it, but the more they wiped it, the more slippery it became, and as the morning market opened, no one remembered itβ€”and even if there were, they thought that they would go to the teahouse in the evening and ask for some grass and wood ashes to sprinkle it, maybe they could clean it up.

The palanquin drivers looked around lazily, and the entourage in front of him with a black-on-background bronzing official card was thinking about whether to eat roasted cakes or steamed buns today - suddenly, he heard a woman's quarrel above his head, and raised his head slightly to squint.

In the next moment, one elliptical object after another suddenly fell like hailstone, smashing on people's heads, and suddenly turned yellow and white, and the unprepared attack from outside the sky caused everyone to cry wolf.

"Which bastard littered the eggs!!"

The merchant who carried the burden was thrown back with his whole body full of rice and goods, and his irritable roar resounded through the streets.

The palanquin man and his entourage were also full of egg white protein, so that they couldn't open their eyes, and their appearance was extremely funny, they were about to have a seizure, but they heard the noise of the woman on the second floor above their heads even sharper-

"What are you! Thousands of people ride thousands of people to press the Qinglou kiln sister, and they dare to grab a seat with me, and they don't take a mirror to see what kind of obscene material they are! I still want to eat Luhua eggs to replenish my body, the old lady tells you to eat, tell you to eat! ”

With this snarky shout, countless eggs fell like a torrential rain, smashing all the people who watched the excitement also won the lottery, and the street was suddenly noisy.

When the egg hits the ground, the egg white protein is already slippery, but somehow, as long as people's feet take a step forward, they suddenly feel that their feet are slippery and unstable.

Many stalls were knocked down, porcelain was smashed on the ground, and some people even fell into "stacked ingots", and the people and things all over the street seemed to be swept away by the wind, and the chaos was to the extreme.

"Sir, sir! Ouch, save people! ”

Yang Yan's personal entourage and the sedan chair drivers fell to the ground, seeing the sedan chair fall to the ground and slide sideways and roll over, they wanted to stand up to protect the lord but they were all handed over.

The sedan chair rolled a few somersaults and finally stopped, and the unlucky Yang Yan got out of the sedan chair, his official hat was messy, his beard was broken more than a dozen, and he was very embarrassed - he was a serious man with a long face, and he was usually most proud of his beautiful hair, but now he was anxious and angry, and shouted angrily: "Who is so bold, there is no king's law-"

Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened, and all his expressions froze at this momentβ€”a sharp bamboo actually pierced through his chest!

His face seemed to rise with consternation, his throat gurgled twice, but he could not speak, the hideous wound on his chest began to spew blood mist, and his whole body was depressed, stiff, and collapsed.

The people around were completely stunned, their eyes widened like clay sculptures, and they couldn't believe what was in front of them!

After a long time, I heard a scream-

"Dead Man!!"

The screams were filled with terror, breaking the silence, and the street suddenly became a pot of porridge, and everyone scrambled to flee first.

Yang Yan's relatives then staggered and struggled, and when he took a breath, his whole heart sank to the bottom - he was already out of breath.

"How dare you kill the imperial court!!!"

He pointed at a man and shouted angrily.

He saw it very clearly, it was the strong man who sold the bamboo with one hand, and the bamboo thorn flew in the air and stabbed Yang Yan in the chest.

"No...... It's none of my business!!! ”

The man who sold the bamboo shook his hands and feet, his body was soft, his lips trembled like a swing, and he shouted almost frantically: "I didn't hurt it!" ”

"I saw it really just now, that is, the bamboo in your hand was thrown out of the coffin and ...... this adult"

Although the stall owner on the side was afraid, he was even more worried about implicating himself and unceremoniously exposed it.

The man who sold the bamboo roared "You are talking nonsense", rushed over like a beast, and was immediately hugged by his legs - Yang Yan's sedan chair drivers were in a hurry, so they simply slid over from the ground and hugged his legs.

"Catch the murderer!"

"There's a big reward for catching the murderer!"

Several people rushed over, knocked people down, and pressed them like arhats. The man who sold the bamboo let out a dull scream -

"I also slipped on my feet and somehow got out of my hands...... I didn't kill anyone! Didn't kill anyone! ”

As he shouted in despair, a sharp whistle came from the other side of the long street, and the sound of horses galloping closer and closer.

"It's someone from the Five Cities Terracotta Division!"

People suddenly have the backbone, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves galloping, the sound of knee pads and stirrups colliding with the sound of clanging, all of them are magnificent, bright clothes.

Herod stopped with a horse roar, the man at the head was only in his early twenties, his eyebrows were handsome, his eyebrows were sparse, his dark eyes revealed a cold edge, and he glanced at the scene coldly, and everyone only felt a thorn in their hearts, and they lowered their heads one after another.

"Commander Qiyu, the deceased is Yang Yan, the director of the Criminal Department."

The man had to use a soldier to step forward and bow, but he almost fell to the ground, and the man's eyes lit up, and he dismounted without hesitation, leaning over to look at the strange situation on the street.

Smooth and shiny unknown oil, mixed with yellow is yellow and white egg liquid, and it is very greasy when you touch it.

Yang Yan on the side stepped forward to greet him with a crying face, "Please ask this adult, you are ......"

"Dongcheng soldiers and horses command, Xiao Yue."

His voice was calm, and then he asked about the situation, and at this time, a group of women on the second floor were also arrested by the soldiers.

"What are you going to do?! The old lady's husband is a city gate official!! ”

The sharp and mean voice shouted from afar.

Xiao Yue nodded slightly, and the soldiers immediately untied the binding, and the woman glared arrogantly, and was about to say more, when a long knife was crossed by her neck.

"Say."

The whispers without warmth, and the pure dark eyes, suddenly made her stand on the spot in fright, and there was no noise at all.

This woman said angrily that she came to Yue Xianglou by the window on the street to watch a play - today there is Qin everyone to help the junior brother to replace the scene, it is really a rare opportunity to buy. Who would have thought that a group of prostitutes in Qinglou would dare to grab her seat, laughing and laughing, while carrying a basket like a baby, saying that the eggs laid by Luhua chickens in the Western Regions are the most nourishing and nourishing and beautiful, she was angry for a while, so she opened the bow left and right and threw the eggs all over the street.

Playing with the delicate hilt of the knife in his hand, Xiao Yue listened to her messy narration, coupled with the eyewitness's gossip, his eyes were even more profound.

In the early morning, someone knocked and sprinkled tung flower oil; Yang Yan's sedan chair happened to pass by; A group of lay women made a noise, and eggs were thrown all over the street; The bamboo seller's feet slipped and his hands fell off - it all sounded like an accident, and no one was to blame.

An accident......

He pondered deeply, his eyes flickered, but he narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered: "Tung flower oil meets egg liquid......"

"My lord, is there anything wrong?"

He shook his head, "It's nothing, it's a coincidental accident. ”

He pronounced the words clearly, but added an accent to the word coincidence.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and they were about to clean up the aftermath, but they heard Xiao Yue shout coldly: "Come on, close the street!" ”

Everyone was stunned.

*****

Xiao Gu Cui sleeved Luo skirt, snow-white Hao wrists are light, carrying a few silver jewelry gadgets and candied fruit bags, standing on the side of the street and watching all this coldly.

The officer at the head was actually the one who stopped her to inspect and interrogate her on the way to the secret meeting that night!

When she heard the word "street closure" clearly, she was shocked.

Don't...... What did he find?!

Before she had time to think about it, she spun around and ran quickly towards the corner fork.

"Seal off the whole street and check everyone's identity!"

The rough shouts are coming straight behind you!
