Shen Ning opened the door, but suddenly stopped.

Through the crack in the door, I saw a man looking in front of the door of other rooms, sneaky, and at first glance, it was not the shopkeeper, but more like stepping on the point.

When the man walked over, he saw Shen Ning inside the door, and subconsciously turned his head sideways, ready to leave.

And at this moment, Li Qingkong in the house urged: "You still don't go out?" ”

Shen Ning chuckled lightly and pulled the door open completely.

And the man looked at Li Qingkong when he heard the sound, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise, as if he didn't expect Li Qingkong to be so beautiful.

Shen Ning walked out and closed the door, and the man had already walked down the stairs.

"The evening was interesting." Shen Ning smiled.

After the absence, the guests in the inn were asleep, so it was extremely quiet.

The shopkeeper was asleep on the counter, and only the flickering candle flame in front of him illuminated a small area.

And at this moment, a black shadow quietly appeared and touched the room where Li Qingkong was.

I saw a black shadow squatting in front of the door, took out a bamboo pipe, and began to blow gas into the house. After waiting for a while, he pried open the door with a knife and felt inside.

The room was dark and very quiet, he touched the side of the bed, looked at the undulating body on the bed, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect to meet such a superb beauty, and it will definitely be worth a lot of money to hand you over!" ”

With that, he reached out and touched the person on the bed.

Seeing that he was about to succeed, the unconscious man on the bed suddenly reached out and grabbed the man in black, and squeezed it hard, the man in black wailed in pain and immediately knelt down.

And the man in black was ruthless enough, he directly took out a dagger and stabbed the person on the bed, but he was grabbed by his wrist and twisted it hard, and he directly broke his wrist.

Then the guards from the other rooms rushed over, and after lighting the lights, the room lit up.

When the man in black saw that it was not a delicate beauty who captured him, but a middle-aged man, he knew that he had been tricked.

After a while, Shen Ning walked into the house, followed by Li Qingkong and Zhu Hongying.

Shen Ning pointed to the flower thief and said to Li Qingkong: "See, kindness is a donkey's liver and lungs, I let you go to my room, it's not to do bad things, it's to save you, you are good, you will take revenge, but slander me!" ”

Li Qingkong was embarrassed.

After discovering that there was a flower thief, Shen Ning naturally couldn't let Li Qingkong be picked, so he asked her to go to her room to rest, Li Qingkong was okay and reprimanded Shen Ning.

Shen Ning didn't continue to tease Li Qingkong, but set his eyes on the flower thief and asked, "Tell me, what is the origin?" ”

Originally, Shen Ning thought that this was an ordinary flower thief, but before going to bed, he inadvertently asked the shopkeeper and learned that there were often beautiful girls missing nearby, and the yamen investigated for a long time, but there were no clues.

This aroused Shen Ning's vigilance, if he left after picking flowers, he would definitely commit a crime alone, but if he was missing, it would not be as simple as picking flowers.

The flower thief was a thin middle-aged man, and although he knelt there, he still had a hard mouth.

Shen Ning likes to interrogate hard-mouthed, so he handed it over to Huo Tianxing for interrogation, and quickly pried open the middle-aged man's mouth.

But the results made Shen Ning surprised.

"I want to kidnap this girl and go to the Yu family to exchange money!"

Shen Ning never expected that catching a thief in his spare time would involve the Yu family.

Not only was Shen Ning surprised, but Li Qingkong and Zhu Hongying were also surprised.

"Be clear in detail, or you will take your dog's life!" Shen Ning asked sharply.

The flower thief did not dare to hide it, and immediately revealed it all.

This person is not only a flower thief, but also a martial arts person.

The so-called martial arts people often greet the martial arts sect, just like businessmen, and they all have their own circles.

And the circle of martial arts is very big and chaotic, with three sects and nine streams, all sects and factions, and the business world has its own rules.

Although the Yu family is a middle-grade family and does not have any power in the court, it has a strong voice in the martial arts.

Half a year ago, the Yu family suddenly quietly spread the news that they bought a woman with outstanding looks at a high price, because it was a hidden news, not many people knew about it, but in the circle of flower pickers, it was still impossible to hide.

That's why during this time, there will be beautiful girls who have been robbed and don't know where to go.

Shen Ning asked curiously, "Are you sure it's the Yu family?" ”

"Sure! The villain has already sent it over twice and got five hundred taels, and the villain does not dare to hide it. The flower thief replied.

Shen Ning asked again: "Why did the Yu family buy beautiful women?" This is a disrepute of reproach. ”

"The villain doesn't know!" The flower thief shook his head.

Shen Ning looked at Li Qingkong, Li Qingkong also shook her head, she didn't know much about her grandfather's family, and her mother was only the adopted daughter of the Yu family, and after marrying Pengcheng, she hadn't returned to Yangzhou for many years.

It seems that this trip to the Jade Family will not be peaceful.

Let the guards deal with the flower thief, and everyone continued to go back to rest without saying a word all night.

The next day, the storm dissipated, and the group continued to hurry, came to the north bank of the Yangtze River in the evening, rested for the night, and crossed the river the next morning.

After a few days of hurrying, I finally came to Shouchun.

After entering the city, the group came to the jade house.

The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the doorman came out to look at the group and asked, "Everyone, where are you?" ”

The escort sent a message of worship and said: "Trouble to pass on the head of your house, my son-in-law is Shen Ning, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, and escort Li Qingkong, the lady of the Li Mansion in Xuzhou, to meet the head of the Yu family." ”

The doorman did not dare to slack off, and immediately turned back into the house, and a moment later, an old man in his sixties hurriedly walked out.

When Li Qingkong saw the old man, he hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed: "Granddaughter Li Qingkong greets grandpa!" ”

Shen Ning arched his hand and said, "Meet the jade senior!" ”

This old man is Yu Xuefei's father, Yu Haitao.

"Get up, get up, let me take a good look. The sky has grown so big! Yu Haitao was excited, and then nodded to Shen Ning in return.

Li Qingkong said obediently: "The last time I came to Shouchun, it was three years ago, and I never came to see my grandfather, and I asked my grandfather for forgiveness." ”

"Silly girl, the road is far away, grandpa can understand, let's go, go into the house and talk." Yu Haitao led everyone into the house, and as soon as he walked through the front yard, he saw Yu Xuefei trotting all the way over.

"Clear sky!" Yu Xuefei shouted excitedly, then rushed over and gave Li Qingkong a hug.

After hugging, his eyes immediately fell on Shen Ning, and his eyes were full of longing and affection.

Shen Ning smiled at her, then blinked.

Next, the group came to the living room, and the Yu family rushed to hear the news.

After Shen Ning got to know him briefly, he went to the guest room, after all, he was a guest, and Li Qingkong belonged to his relatives, so he naturally wanted to leave the space to them.

This time, Shen Ning came to the Yu family, mainly to visit Yu Qianchou and see what price he paid if he wanted to marry Yu Xuefei, and the popular point is how much the bride price is.

At noon, the Yu family set up a luncheon, and there was no major event at the dinner table, just toasting each other, but it can be clearly seen that the eldest brothers of Yu Haitao and Yu Xuefei are all concerned about Shen Ning, and it seems that the matter of Shen Ning and Yu Xuefei has been known by the Yu family.

However, Yu Qianchou was not seen at the luncheon.

After lunch, Yu Haitao invited Shen Ning to the teahouse for tea.

When Shen Ning followed, he saw Yu Xuefei's pretty face crimson, and the beauty of shyness made Shen Ning's eyes light up.

Coming to the tearoom and sitting down, Yu Qianchou pushed a cup of tea to Shen Ning, and suddenly said, "Shen Gongzi, I heard that you like my Xuefei?" According to the generation, you are Li Yuanxiao's nephew, in this case, you are a generation behind Xue Fei. Of course, it doesn't matter. It's a pity that my family Xuefei has a marriage contract right away. ”

"Oh?" Shen Ning was stunned when he served tea, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was not a sky-high dowry, but a bloody plot.

"Senior Yu said that there is a marriage contract right away? So there's no marriage contract yet? Shen Ning asked.

Yu Haitao replied: "It's not important! The man is already on his way here, and he will arrive in a few days. When the time comes, the marriage contract will be settled, and it will be a foregone conclusion. Thank you Shen Gongzi for valuing my little girl, I can only say sorry to you. ”

"I wonder where the man is from?" Shen Ning asked.

Yu Haitao said with a smile: "It's the second son of the Yang family in the imperial capital, Yang Kang." ”

Shen Ning raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of surprise.

How could the Yu family have a relationship with the Yang family?

Yang Kang is Yang Jian's younger brother, Shen Ning had not seen him last time in the imperial capital, but he had heard of this person.

The sons of the head of the Yang family all have their own characteristics, Yang Jian is straightforward, and this Yang Kang is unruly, one of the four famous evildoers in the capital.

If Yu Xuefei really married him, it would be the grave of the marriage contract.

"Senior Jade, Miss Xuefei shouldn't know about this marriage contract." Shen Ning asked.

Yu Haitao did not speak, and acquiesced in the matter.

In order to escape from entering the palace, Yu Xuefei fled directly to Xuzhou, if she knew that she was going to marry Yang Kang this time, she would definitely run farther, so she was sure that Yu Xuefei didn't know about it.

At this time, Yu Haitao spoke strongly and said: "I am Yu Xuefei's father, since ancient times, the marriage contract is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, this time I can't let her mess around, as long as the marriage contract is made, on the day of marriage, I have to tie it up!" ”

These words seemed to be talking about his attitude, but also reminded Shen Ning that the marriage contract was a foregone conclusion and would never change.

"Is Xuefei's grandfather also in this attitude?" Shen Ning asked again.

Yu Haitao's eyes narrowed and said, "This is the decision of the Yu family. ”

Shen Ning didn't say anything more, because he knew that Yu Haitao had made up his mind, and what he said couldn't change his attitude.

The next step is only one step at a time.

"Thank you Yu seniors for informing me, juniors know." Shen Ning got up and said, "There is still something to do, so I will leave first." ”

"Shen Gongzi is a guest from afar, stay in the mansion well, if it is a place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive Shen Gongzi." Yu Haitao turned into a hospitable smile again.

Shen Ning left and returned to the guest room.

As soon as he sat down, Li Qingkong and Yu Xuefei rushed over.

"Let's talk first." Li Qingkong glared at Shen Ning before leaving the room.

Seeing that it was Yu Xuefei who dragged Li Qingkong and dared to come, and asked Li Qingkong to be a shield.

There were only two people left in the house, and Yu Xuefei hurriedly asked, "Daning, what did my father talk to you about?" ”

After speaking, her expression replied shyly, it seems that she still thinks that the two are talking about marriage.
