Chapter 69: A New Itinerary

The major case that occurred in Huai'an was verified, and the two Huai Salt Transport Divisions knew that Yao Chuxi was greedy for 1.2 million taels of silver, and that the Guanyin demon monk Jin Chan poisoned the people, swaggered and deceived, and gathered people to collect 300,000 taels of silver, and now all the stolen money has been returned. The demon monk Jin Chan was on the run, and his body was later found on the canal. Yao Chuxi has been imprisoned, and his family property has been confiscated.

Luan Muyan, the prefect of Huai'an, knew that the case was serious, and did not dare to slack off, so he reported the matter to the Beijing division and asked the imperial court to send a senior member to come to hear it.

At the canal wharf of Huai'an Mansion, Yang Muyun and Zhou Mengnan said goodbye.

"Xianggong, aren't you going with me?" Zhou Mengnan had affection in his eyes.

"I still have to stay and write a record of the case," Yang Muyun looked at her deeply, "The ship carrying salt can't stay here for a long time, the burden of the Zhou family is on you, the lady has a heavy responsibility, let's go south first!" ”

"I'll stay in Nandu for a while, if it's convenient for you, come to me!" Zhou Mengnan handed him a piece of letterhead, "It says my address in Nandu." With that, he turned and walked towards the boat.

"Master, take careβ€”" Su Yue glanced at him resentfully, and chased after Zhou Mengnan.

The ship sailed away. Yang Muyun stood on the dock for a long time before he turned around, looked up, and saw that He Dongxun had come behind him with two yachas.

"The lower official is late, so I can't send Mrs. Zun with the adults." He Dongxun bowed apologetically.

"Lord He is polite...... Yang Muyun stared at the yacha behind him, these two yacha are not very old, they are both good-eyed, and they are dressed in brand-new soap clothes.

It was Xiao Liangjun, and the other was the child who came to report the news that night.

He Dongxun also noticed his eyes, "These two children are weird and clever, I'll leave them to run errands by my side, why don't you meet Lord Yang soon." ”

"Lord Yangβ€”" The two children hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"That's it," Yang Muyun waved his hand and looked at He Dongxun, "You placed them for me, I have to thank you well." ”

"Working with Lord Yang, this effort is nothing?" He Dongxun let out a long sigh, "It's just that this is the end of the matter, and the adults have to go back to the southern capital......" After a pause, a smile appeared on his face, "The lower official is inviting the moon to set up a banquet, and I invited the adult and the lower official to go and conspire to get drunk, I don't know what the adult wants?" ”

"Someone invited to dinner, can I still not go?" Yang Muyun smiled on his face and said to Xiao Liangjun and his little brother, "How is it?" How does it feel to wear this outfit? ”

"I feel so angry, walking on the street, others look at us differently." Xiao Liangjun straightened his chest.

"Then you have to do a good job, if you bully people casually in this dress, Lord He will take it off for you."

"How dare we?" was frightened by Yang Muyun, and Xiao Liangjun's waist stiffened again.

Yang Muyun looked at him like that, and glanced at He Dongxun, and the two laughed.

Nandu, Liren Lane Yang's small courtyard.

Under the turquoise grape trellis, Shiso is dressed in white, with cloud-like hair, and her jade fingers are playing the strings, playing a song of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", the sound of the piano is clear and melodious, full of lovesick charm, and the grape branches and leaves on the shelf seem to be intoxicated, making a salsa sound.

"Tuk tuk-" someone knocked on the door, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

"Jinxuan, go open the door." Shiso commanded.

"Yes, miss." Jinxuan's delicate figure ran over quickly. "Ah, it's Sister Su'er." When the door opened, it was Jinxuan's happy voice.

A beautiful girl dressed in gorgeous clothes came to Shiso and bowed, "Miss-"

"Why are you here?" Shisu's beautiful eyes glanced at her slightly, and she didn't get up, "How many guests are there in the National Color Pavilion today?" I want Miss Lao Suer to come to the door in person. ”

"Su'er followed Miss's instructions and came to teach Jinxuan to sing and dance." Faced with the ridicule in Shisu's words, Su'er replied calmly.

"I've got a lot of things to order, do you remember that?" Zi Su smiled slightly, "Miss Su'er is now a celebrity in the National Color Pavilion, what do you want Jinxuan to go, don't you be afraid of breaking the rules when you come?" ”

"Su'er is a maid for one day and a maid for life. The young lady said this, but the slave and maid can be killed. Su'er's tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. She has matured a lot during this period of time, and she is no longer the innocent little girl she used to be.

"You can keep these words and coax them to your master, I don't need them here." Shiso's delicate nose snorted slightly.

Then there was another knock on the door......

"Ahβ€”β€”, it's Ning Gongzi!" Jinxuan said in surprise.

A peerless beautiful young man walked in with a folding fan in his hand and with light steps.

Shisu got up and greeted him, and his delicate face, which was more beautiful than the fairy, floated into a smile. "Ning Gongzi, you're here."

"Hmm-" Before Ning Zu'er could answer, she saw a girl with gorgeous clothes and stunning appearance stepped forward to salute, "Ning Gongzi, hello!" ”

"Yo, it's Xu'er, you're dressed up so beautifully, my son can't even recognize you." Ning Zuer slapped the palm of the palm with the folding fan in his hand, and praised again and again.

"Ning Gongzi, you don't know yet, do you?" Shiso's sparkling eyes rolled slowly, "Su'er is now the new Oiran of the National Color Pavilion, if it's okay, you have to go there to cheer her up." ”

"Oh?" Ning Zu'er looked Xu Er up and down, and nodded, "Yes, you are dressed up, you are even more beautiful than the original Dieyu girl." ”

"What about me?" Shisu's eyes froze, and his face seemed to be smiling.

"Mrs. Yang said with a smile, where else can you find a more beautiful woman in the entire Nandu than you?" Ning Zuer shook the folding fan lightly, squinted and smiled.

"Okay, I'm not going to laugh with you, what about the one who has no conscience? Didn't you come back with you? Shiso bit her lip lightly.

"Brother Yang? He estimated that it would be a few days before he came back, and he had a big case in Huai'an Mansion......"

"Ahh......h Is he involved in the case? ”

"That's not it," Ning Zu'er glanced at her in surprise, "Brother Yang is such a temperament, regardless of whether this case has anything to do with him or not, as long as he touches it, he has to go in and break it." ”

"Then is he in danger, his injuries are not healed yet." Still worried, she asked.

"Brother Yang, everything is fine, the case on Huai'an's side has been closed, and he should be back soon." Ning Zuer comforted her.

"The case is over, is it time to end the affair?" Zi Su glanced at Su'er, stared at Ning Zu'er and said.

"How do you know......" Ning Zuer stopped in time, her face a little strange.

"I see, let him tell me about it himself." Zi Su smiled, "Young Master Ning, thank you for taking care of my husband secretly, let's talk in the house!" ”

"How dare I not be ungrateful about the things you entrusted to me." Ning Zuer did not shirk and walked towards the house.

Zi Su glanced at Su'er, "Aren't you going to teach Jinxuan to sing and dance?" Don't go yet. He turned away as he spoke.

Su'er stood there in a daze, thinking secretly in her heart: "Miss is good at everything, but her temperament is a little small, because the old man was close to Chen Siyu, he was angry and ignored him for a long time." She treats me like this now, she just doesn't want me to be close to the master, but I ......" Thinking of the defeat and loss of Yang Muyun when she played chess with him that day, she couldn't help but smile. Alasβ€”β€”, I am afraid that there will never be a return to the old days between me and the young lady, and I can't help but feel sad.

"Sister Su'erβ€”" Jinxuan called timidly beside her.

"Let's go, I should teach you how to dance." Su'er came back to her senses and said to Jinxuan.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Yang Muyun walked alone along the avenue along the canal to the south, he did not ride a horse or take a boat, but on foot. The reason why he is like this is because he feels good to go all the way. No, when passing by Baoying County, he met a team of relatives, and the villagers who greeted relatives were very enthusiastic, and they took him, a foreigner, to walk together, so that he had seen the lively customs of marrying relatives in Baoying County.

On this day, he traveled to Qingshuitan Town in Gaoyou County, it was late, and he found the largest inn in the town, and the plaque was written with four big characters of "Ping An Inn".

"The name of this inn is true, who doesn't ask for peace when he's out of the house?" Yang Muyun nodded and chuckled, shook his body, and stepped inside.

On the first floor of the inn is a restaurant where three groups of people eat. On a table in the middle sat two middle-aged scribes. In the left corner sat an old man dressed as a rich man, probably in his fifties, with a red face and a sleek jaw without a beard, and a young man with clear eyebrows sat next to him. In the corner of the right wall sat a young couple, about twenty years old, the male scholar was dressed as a handsome man, and the female was beautiful.

Yang Muyun asked for a quiet guest room, put down the things he was carrying, and came down to eat. He sat down at a table in the middle, ordered a few random dishes, asked for a pot of wine, and poured himself a drink.

"Brother Shilin, there is an annoying thing in my family, and I really don't vomit and feel unhappy when I hold it in my heart." The two middle-aged scribes whispered at a table in the back, and a gray-robed scribe said with a sad face.

"Brother Tingjun, but it's okay to say, let's see if I can give you an idea." Another blue-robed scribe asked.

"I have a male goat at home, and he will put his horn against whoever he sees, and now no one dares to kick our door." The gray-robed scribe said.

"Oh? The ram raised by Brother Shilin's family is so fierce? The blue-robed scribe rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I have a way, if you take this ram gelding, won't it be fierce?" ”

"No, no," the gray-robed scribe waved his hand again and again, and said in a low voice, "Aren't all those who have been geldings more fierce now?" As he spoke, he looked at the rich man's table.

The old man dressed as a rich man had the same face as usual, as if he hadn't heard the two of them talking, but the face of the young man sitting next to him turned red.

"Master......" The young man looked at the two middle-aged scribes.

"Eat your food, don't look at the irrelevant people." The old man said in a deep voice.

"Yesβ€”" The boy took a sip at the two men, turned back and buried his head in his meal.

Both of their voices were quite sharp, which made Yang Muyun can't help but look sideways.

"These geldings are just fierce, and what is even more ridiculous is vulgarity and unwriting." The gray-robed scribe said.

"What did Brother Shilin say?" The blue-robed scribe asked.

"Once when I was in Beijing, there was an imperial list posted on the city gate, which attracted many people to come and see. An old gentleman was shaking his head and looking at the imperial list, and a father-in-law in the palace squeezed in at some point, and the father-in-law was illiterate, so he asked the old gentleman, what was written on it, and the old gentleman said, isn't it written very clearly, so he read the above paragraph to the father-in-law, and the old gentleman suddenly stopped reading the following paragraph......" The gray-robed scribe smiled at the blue-robed scribe.

"Why didn't the old gentleman read it?" The blue-robed scribe was puzzled.

"That father-in-law is also strange, why don't you read it down here, old gentleman?" The gray-robed scribe laughed, "Guess what the old gentleman said?" ”

"What did he say?"

"Here's ...... There's no more wow! ”

The young woman in the right corner of "Lu'er" couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"There's more to come." The gray-robed scribe held back a smile and said, "The father-in-law asked, why is he not here now?" ”

As soon as these words came out, not to mention the young woman, even the scholar laughed with the two middle-aged scribes.

The young man stood up with a bang on the table with a red face, took a few steps to the two middle-aged scribes, pointed at them and said sharply: "Who are you two old boys talking about when you two old boys are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai?" ”

The gray-robed scribe glanced at him and said lazily, "I said, little brother, what are you excited about?" Is there no more under you? With that, he and the blue-robed scribe burst out laughing.

"You-" The boy was so angry that he went to flip their table.

The gray-robed scribe did not wait for his hand to touch the table, and the chopsticks in his hand poked into his eyes, and the young man was startled, took two steps back, pulled out a short knife from his waist, and stabbed it in the chest of the gray-robed scribe like a leopard.

The gray-robed scribe moved quickly, reached out and grabbed the wrist of the young man holding the knife, raised his leg and kicked the young man in the chest.

"Bang-" only heard a muffled snort, the young man's body flew up, and he was about to fall to the ground, Yang Muyun raised his hand to support his waist, unloading the force of his fall, and the sound of "Teng" made him sit firmly on a stool.

At the same time, a wine glass mixed with a strong wind flew towards the back of the old man's heart, Yang Muyun shook his hand, and chopsticks flew out. With a "duh", the chopsticks hit the wine glass, and the strength did not fade, nailing the wine glass to the wall panel.

"Your Excellency is so handsome." The two middle-aged scribes stood up and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to intervene to protect these two geldings?" ”
