Chapter 239: The Truth (6K, 210+, 225+)
Yuzi also went out together, going to Lu's house, one waiting for others, and the other using that side as a central point for convergence.
Turan hugged the fox fur, covered Xie Shuning, quickly and quietly slipped out of the weeping flower gate, and got into the carriage driven by the winter solstice.
The horses snorted, their heads raised high, and their front hooves raised slightly. As soon as the winter solstice whip fell, it ran away, its reddish-brown mane gradually stained with frost in the thin snow.
The road was slippery in the snow, but there were no pedestrians on the road, so the horses with iron hooves let go and did not hit others, and the winter solstice drove the carriage faster again. After a while, the carriage went out of Shijing Hutong, and Turan got Xie Shuning's order, pushed the car door, poked out half of his head, and told Dong Solstice to go directly to the dim sum shop in Dongcheng.
When the winter solstice came, he turned the horse's head and went to the other side.
Inside the carriage, Yuebai clinged to the wall of the carriage tightly, barely maintaining a calm expression and said: "Miss, I have already asked over there in Dongcheng, and the guy in the dim sum shop said that he has never seen their father and son." ”
She had already said this once when she was in Xiaoxiang Pavilion before. Xie Shuning also remembers, but the most likely place to find clues at the moment is still the shop that sells dim sum.
Having just come out of the room that was as warm as Zhongchun, Xie Shuning was still a little sleepy at the moment, and yawned and whispered: "Different questions will have different answers." Besides, this time, it's time to ask the shopkeeper. ”
She said it easily, as if the shopkeeper was already sitting in front of her at this time, but Yuebai listened to it with a heavy heart, and she couldn't see it in a panic.
Along the way, follow Xie Shuning's meaning. Yuebai repeatedly said three times what happened after Lukong and Doudou went out yesterday.
It's more careful than the last, and when it comes to the last one. Even Turan, who was listening quietly, felt as if there was a scene emerging in front of him, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Xie Shuning also listened very carefully and had a very strict attitude when Yuebai talked about it every time, and often pinched a small point and asked carefully for a long time. When asked, Yuebai racked his brains, and didn't dare to say a word before he stopped.
The sound of horses' hooves echoing in their ears all the time.
The sound of falling snow seems to be much louder.
Yuebai finished speaking, and said it again. Holding his arms, he muttered that Doudou's clothes were thin, and he didn't know how cold it would be.
Seeing her like this, Xie Shuning couldn't help but think of Zhen'er.
Only those who have been mothers will understand this feeling.
Ruodoudou really had an accident. Presumably, Yuebai was also ruined.
Xie Shuning understands this very well. Therefore, he attaches more and more importance to the party at this moment, and it is inevitable to find Lukong and his son back, inevitably!
In the same way, her body has always relied on Lukong to recuperate, once there is no Lukong, she wants to find a doctor with more skilled medical skills than Lukong in a short time, it is simply difficult to reach the sky, there is no possibility at all.
But she thought about it. I don't even have a clue.
Where did Lukong and Doudou go?
Yuebai couldn't guess, and she couldn't guess it.
Worst-case scenario. It's just that the two of them are in trouble, and the father and son are killed.
Thinking like this, her heart tightened, her dark pupils shrank suddenly, and she subconsciously didn't dare to look at Yuebai's face again, only turned her head to look at Turan.
Who knew that Tulan, who was out of tune, opened his round eyes at this moment and quietly asked her: "Miss, could it be that Dr. Lu ran away with Doudou by himself?" ”
Xie Shuning glared at her, how to answer this question!
Turan was not afraid of her glare, holding the sword snatched from Jixiang's hand with a free hand, and touched his cheek, "The slave maid heard the little maids in Xiaoxiang Pavilion chatting a few days ago, and some people secretly ran away with their children because they didn't like their daughters-in-law. ”
She really didn't understand that.
Xie Shuning had a headache, and suddenly felt that she was missing too much in Tulan's education, so she should not be allowed to go out, and follow Zhuo's mother to re-study from beginning to end for ten days and half a month.
Yuebai, who was sitting on the other side, laughed with tears in her eyes at this time, and said quietly: "If it's really what Turan said, it's fine." ”
At the very least, this shows that they are all alive and well.
But how is this possible......
What Xie Shuning was worried about, Yuebai had already thought of.
The carriage sped along, and the people in the carriage were silent, and no one spoke. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Turan hugged the sword nest to the side, and his face gradually became solemn.
From Beicheng to Dongcheng, all the way, there were only a few people on the road with umbrellas and walking briskly in their robes.
The streets on a snowy day are different from before, and they are frighteningly deserted.
One by one, the footprints fell to the ground, but the thin snow fell one by one, and soon accumulated into a thick layer, and those footprints were covered up in this way.
All the dirt, all the traces, are gone because of the frost and snow.
On days like this, even if you want to kill someone, it's very easy.
Xie Shuning bit her lip slightly, and pressed down, the sharp and sudden pain made her feel cold, and her eyes became cold.
After some time, the carriage slowed down until it stopped. Dong Solstice called her outside: "Miss, it's here." ”
Turan pushed the door and lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first.
Yuebai got up, still not forgetting to help her.
Xie Shuning didn't agree, so she urged her to go down first, and she was wearing a thick fox fur and a hood, and she got out of the carriage with her face half-covered.
There is a narrow alley not far ahead, and there is a shop at the mouth of the alley, and there are a few big characters on the book.
Xie Shuning looked at the few words that had only been newly painted, and leisurely remembered that Yan Huai, who had disguised his identity in the camel caravan, and his seventh brother outside the ancient city of Khotan, talked about this shop.
He said that he lived nearby, but he was actually the son of the Chengguo Mansion in Nancheng.
Lies......
This time, did the guys from Wuwei Zhai really tell the truth to Yuebai?
Xie Shuning didn't believe what the guy said.
What's more, she hadn't even heard it with her own ears. How can you believe.
Thinking of this, she gathered the fox fur on her body and hugged the warm hand stove with her sleeve. After saying "let's go", he began to take steps towards Wuwei Zhai.
The winter solstice stopped the carriage and followed.
Although the Turanian people are tall and large, they are all women's families in the end, and many times, it is inconvenient to act. Again, this is why Xie Shuning brought Turan out. And by the way, he brought a relationship with Yuzi, who was much smarter and more intelligent than Tulan. Turan was a foreign race, and there were some restrictive rules, for Turan who was not a Western Vietnamese. It's not a rule at all.
When necessary, it is also very likely that she will be rude.
Several people quietly entered the gate of Wuwei Zhai.
Because it's a snowy day, even the five flavors of the house, which has always been prosperous. It's also deserted. The guy was standing behind the counter. Dozing off, his head was nodding for a while, and it was obvious that he was about to hibernate.
The winter solstice was the first to step forward, and "dong dong" knocked on the counter.
The young man in the felt hat suddenly woke up, his eyes were still hazy and sleepy, so he opened his mouth and laughed first, "What do you want to buy?" ”
Dong Solstice said: "Yesterday evening, it was you who watched the store?" ”
The guy doesn't know why. The nod should be: "It's small." ”
"That's you."
When the young man heard this, he was stunned. Immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and said hurriedly: "The little one who picked up the lady's handkerchief yesterday wanted to catch up immediately and return it to the lady, but there happened to be a guest in the store at that time, so this is the ......."
didn't wait for Xie Shuning to tell him what he had done, so he told him everything he had done like pouring beans.
Xie Shuning frowned, a person with such a temperament, when he lies, is actually the most like the truth.
"Stop!" Winter Solstice even screamed a few times to stop, and the chattering guy finally closed his mouth, "We didn't look for you for these things!" ”
The young man was stunned: "Then you are looking for me?" ”
Xie Shuning lowered her eyes and asked with a smile: "When you picked up the handkerchief yesterday evening, what did the guests in the store look like?" Is it tall or short, fat or thin, one person or two, or a man with a child? ”
"What...... What the? The young man's eyes dodged.
Xie Shuning raised her head and looked at the past, the smile on the corner of her mouth remained unchanged: "What does it look like?" ”
The young man said hesitantly: "It's the maidservant of the Li family in Nancheng, born tall and quite beautiful......"
Xie Shuning nodded, and suddenly changed the conversation: "What about your shopkeeper?" ”
"The shopkeeper only comes to the store on the first day of the first month of every month." When the young man heard the shopkeeper, he calmed down.
Xie Shuning stepped forward slowly, and suddenly said, "It's not good to lie." ”
The sudden sentence made everyone present can't help but show a puzzled look.
Xie Shuning didn't seem to see anything, and continued to stare at the guy standing behind the counter. looks about the same age as the winter solstice, his eyes are dodgy, he doesn't stand up, how inconspicuous he looks. Then she pulled the smile on the corner of her mouth and said word by word: "The shopkeeper of Wuwei Zhai is such a young person, I really didn't expect it." ”
Everyone was shocked.
"Miss admitted that she was wrong, how could the small one be the shopkeeper, and the small one was just a little guy from Wuwei Zhai."
Xie Shuning chuckled lightly and didn't make a sound.
There are no guys in Wuwei Zhai at all, and there has always been only one person in charge.
This secret has not been known for many years, and it was not known until many years later, when Wuwei Zhai was closed, that it was not known.
Nowadays, Wuwei Zhai is still in good bloom, and the secret is of course still a secret.
But for Xie Shuning, this can't be called a secret at all.
She already knew.
The advantages of rebirth are vividly reflected in this moment.
She looked at the person opposite with sharp eyes, "Was it a maidservant girl or a man with a child that you saw yesterday?" ”
In the evening, it was already crowded, and the weather was bad these days, so there were fewer people going out on the street, and at that time yesterday, there would be no more than three guests coming and going.
A hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the young shopkeeper pretending to be a buddy, "Men and women, the small ones are still clearly distinguished." ”
"Winter solstice, thank you for this shopkeeper." She had no intention of listening any further, so she turned her head and walked out of the door of Wuweizhai and walked a few steps in the wind and snow. Turan followed.
Yuebai hurriedly caught up with her, "Miss, he hasn't seen ......"
Xie Shuning stopped and turned to look at her suddenly. "He's seen it." ”
"How?" Yuebai asked in disbelief.
That person has obviously been saying that he has never seen it all along!
Xie Shuning sneered: "The maid of the Li family in Nancheng? Looking at Nancheng, there is only one family surnamed Li when it is full. ”
Yuebai gradually came back to her senses, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Is it the queen's house?" ”
The smile on Xie Shuning's face became colder and colder. "The Li family is now timid, I'm afraid that they won't even dare to go out, how can they send a maid to Dongcheng to buy pastries to eat, and keep them for Qingming to go to the grave?"
Others don't know what happened to the Li family, but she, who indirectly participated in the battle for the harem, couldn't be clearer.
Concubine Shu's maiden family, the Rong family, is still struggling to find a gold mine. Therefore, as long as Emperor Su Fang is still patient, he will not immediately attack them for a while, but the Li family is different. Empress of Emperor Qinglong. When Emperor Su Fang was still the concubine of Duan Wangye, they were all from the Li family, and even after he ascended the throne. The queen of Feng is also still a member of the Li family.
It's all there. It was decided that Emperor Su Fang had killed the Li family early in the morning.
Now that Queen Li has an accident, it is such a thing that has lost the face of the entire Li family, and the Li family can still have a few days to spend a peaceful birthday.
So when she heard the word Li Jia, she knew that it was a lie.
Trying to pretend to be cowering, so that she could lower her vigilance, and instead be clever and mistaken by cleverness, believing that those lies were actually the truth. Honest and clumsy.
After listening to her explanation, Yuebai was shocked. Busy said: "In this case, then he must have seen Doudou and them, and he knows what happened!" ”
After saying that, she turned her head and was about to chase back, but was stopped by Turan.
Xie Shuning dragged her back to the carriage, "If you capture the thief, you won't capture the king, you will only startle the snake." I've asked the winter solstice to find out the master behind Wuwei Zhai, and wait for the news first. ”
She has experienced the closure of Wuwei Zhai, but she has never known whose industry Wuwei Zhai is.
The shopkeeper deliberately concealed the fact that he had seen Lukong and Doudou, which shows that everything was premeditated, and it didn't happen suddenly.
But Lukong brought Doudou to buy snacks, but he suddenly had a temporary idea, how did the murderer know about it?
Xie Shuning thought about it carefully, and was shocked, the Lu family had already been monitored by the murderer.
She asked Yuebai suddenly: "Doudou just wanted to eat Wuwei Zhai's dim sum on a whim?" ”
Yuebai hesitated: "I saw the empty plate, and then I remembered to eat." ”
It was a whim, and sure enough, someone was watching the Lukong family all the time.
But if this is the case, why wait until Lukong and Doudou go out before they do it, instead of directly taking them away from Lu's house?
Xie Shuning rubbed her eyebrows, unable to figure out this matter.
Who will do everything possible to kidnap Lukong and Doudou?
There was nothing she could do at the moment, she could only wait for the winter solstice to send the news back, and the group could only go back to Yuzi's deer house first.
After waiting anxiously for a long time, the news finally came back piecemeal.
Wuwei Zhai is actually the Duchess of Chengguo, who died more than ten years ago.
This shop was originally owned by the old lady of the Wan family, and later when Da Wan got married, he was added to her daughter's dowry list by the old lady, just because Da Wan likes to eat Wuwei Zhai's dim sum.
Da Wan's dowry is to be left to his son.
Naturally, it is left to Yan Huai.
But Yan Huai was too young at that time to be unable to manage the industry, and these affairs were all handled by Xiao Wan.
Xie Shuning paced in place, sweating lightly on his forehead, this matter was actually related to the Yan family, which was really a headache.
Turan looked at her in surprise after listening to it: "Miss, could it be that the prince robbed Dr. Lu?" ”
Xie Shuning was silent.
She didn't know much about the situation of the Yan family, but she had heard about it somewhat.
Now that the situation is different, Xiao Wan's defeat, whether these industries that originally belonged to Yanhuai will return to his hands, Xie Shuning is not sure.
"The slave still remembers, when he was on the grange, he looked at the deer doctor as if he were looking at a fragrant ......piece of meat," said Turan with annoyance, "I am sure it is him!" ”
Yuebai burst into tears when she heard this, "Is it Chengguogong?" ”
Xie Shuning shook his head: "It doesn't have to be him." ”
Turan exclaimed in surprise: "Miss, why are you still talking to him?" ”
“……”
Xie Shuning gritted her teeth: "When this matter is over, I have to let Mother Zhuo clean you up." ”
After speaking. She immediately prepared to leave, while explaining: "If it is Yan Huai, it will not wait until this time. ”
Turan sighed: "Miss." You're still talking to him. ”
Xie Shuning hated to beat her, so she hurriedly changed the topic and ordered: "Whether it is him or not, this matter is always inseparable from the Yan family." Turan take your sword, and we'll go see Yan Huai. ”
Even if she tried her best to get involved with the Yan family and didn't want to see Yan Huai's face, this time. Either way, she had to meet in person.
Lukong and Doudou are still missing. She couldn't let it go.
Besides, she really decided that it would not be Yan Huai.
***
At the same time, the Yan family located in the southern city. It's also a mess
It's a cold day. Ruyi was sweating profusely, and even the clothes behind her back were almost soaked.
In the huge mansion, I saw a group of people searching for things back and forth, all with panicked faces.
Ruyi stood in front of Xiao Wan, anxious.
Xiao Wan leaned on Fang Shengwen's big pillow, sat on the carved soft chair, and looked at this group of subordinates who were anxious like chaotic ants with a smile.
- Yan Lin is gone.
In front of everyone's eyes, Yan Lin, who had been judged to be terminally ill by the doctor, was gone.
So many pairs of eyes. The mansion that so many people were strictly guarded actually made Yan Lin disappear!
The sweat on Ruyi's forehead is accumulating more and more. Gradually gathered into a strip, flowing down the eyebrows, all the way into the eyes, hot pain. But he didn't even have the heart to rub his eyes, and his face turned pale in a hurry.
Xiao Wanshi laughed twice, "I'm tired, I'm going back to rest." ”
She thought that her son with sore eyes was gone, but she said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest, who would believe this kind of thing?
At the very least, wishful thinking is unbelievable!
He gritted his teeth and asked, "The second master is gone, are you not in a hurry at all?" ”
"Urgent? What's the hurry? Xiao Wan smiled wryly, "He is going to die, and sooner or later he will leave me, what difference does it make now?" ”
Ruyi was speechless for a while.
Xiao Wan threw up his sleeves and left.
The curtain swayed, and Mama Zhou rushed in from outside with the thin snow, and hurriedly asked Ruyi: "But you have already given the grandfather of the country?" ”
Ruyi nodded.
Something so big happened, how dare he disagree.
But Yanlin really, just disappeared like this.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the Chengguo Mansion, which was originally treated like an iron bucket by himself, was actually completely vulnerable and full of loopholes. Even, half an hour ago, he went to see Yan Lin, saw his sunken cheeks, described lying there withered, and secretly sighed.
It's good now, it's like being slapped twice by someone pulling my ear, and it hurts so much that my teeth fall out.
He was so annoyed that he was so anxious that he almost dropped the tea set on the table in his hand, "Now like this, what face do I have to meet Grandpa Guo!" ”
Yanhuai, the Duke of Chengguo, who had just taken office, had always treated him as a brother, so he was relieved to hand over all the affairs in the house to him, but as a result, he couldn't even see a patient.
Ruyi smashed his fist on the case, smashing the teacup with a loud bang.
Mama Zhou didn't comfort him, but scolded: "Then don't go find it quickly!" Even if you can't find someone, what went wrong, when Grandpa Guo asks, you should at least be able to answer. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone from outside hurriedly came in and said, "Grandpa Guo is back!" ”
Ruyi glanced at Mama Zhou, and began to rush to Yan Huai one after the other.
As soon as he entered the door, Ruyi knelt down with a "plop".
Yan Huai frowned, grabbed his arm, and dragged the person up from the ground, "If you kneel, can you get the person back?" ”
Ruyi's eyes were red, and he stood there and said in one breath.
After listening to his words, Ji Xiang pondered: "He is already sick and dying, can he already be dead if he moves like this at this moment?" ”
Mama Zhou retorted: "If you don't want to survive, how can you escape?" ”
No matter what, Yan Lin's life will still be saved.
Ji Xiang scoffed: "The doctor outside, the imperial doctor in the palace, which one hasn't been invited back to see and treat him?" slipped away like this, as if he was blaming Grandpa Guo for deliberately unwilling to heal him! ”
None of the people in the room spoke, but everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, didn't Xiao Wanshi think so in his heart?
After a while, Yan Huai instructed Ji Xiang: "There is something wrong with this matter, send the people of the Iron Blood Alliance to find it!" ”
As he spoke, a little guy stumbled to the door.
Ruyi stepped forward with a calm face, and when he turned back, his expression had become very strange and confused.
Yan Huai asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"There's a guest coming to the door." Ruyi weighed the words.
Ji Xiang interjected: "At this time, who is coming?" ”
Ruyi said: "The person who came claimed to be Turan...... Dressed as a maid, the little maid guarding the door said that she didn't have a name, and she was beaten to drive her away......" Halfway through speaking, he suddenly found that Jixiang was already drawing his sword, and couldn't help but take a step back, "What are you doing?" (To be continued......)
