Chapter 40: Meet the Yiren Again
Ling Haoran looked up, only to see Wen Ziqi stunned at the door in a daze, so he asked, "Is something wrong?" After asking a few times, I saw Wen Ziqi stretch out his hand to close the door, and said with a worried face: "It's so strange!"
Ling Haoran rarely saw Wen Ziqi's expression, so he sat up and said, "What's the strange thing? ”
Wen Ziqi looked at Ling Haoran and said, "When the cook came to deliver the medicine just now, it was said that Hall Master Zhu seemed to be frightened outside, and he was still in shock. ”
Ling Haoran let out an "oh" and continued: "I thought something was going on, wasn't it just frightened?" What's so weird! ”
Wen Ziqi's eyes flashed, he looked into the distance blankly, and suddenly said: "At the age of Hall Master Zhu, what can make him frightened, I can't think of it, do you remember that a few days ago I found out that the herbs were fake, although I was also panicked, but it never reached the point of being frightened!" If the tribute medicine is fake, that is a big crime! can be so calm in the face of such a big crime, what is it this time? Don't you want to know? ”
Ling Haoran frowned and said, "Although I also want to know, I want to lie down and sleep more now!" After that, he fell asleep on his own.
Wen Ziqi saw Ling Haoran like this, thinking in his heart that Xu was weak due to the cold, if he had to ask what he thought based on his personality in the past, he wanted to hear what he thought, but now it seems impossible, so he had to stand up helplessly and put out the candle, go back to bed in the dark, and lie down with his clothes on.
It was late at night, but the Four Seas Inn was as bright as day, the shopkeeper moved a bench and was sitting in the hall, looking back from time to time, for fear that someone would suddenly appear behind him, and he muttered vigorously in his mouth: "How can there be anything to stay, it is estimated that the bizarre murder case has just happened here within a radius of dozens of miles, and it has not been solved until now, who will come to this ghost place!" The upstairs people who originally lived and didn't check out haven't left! ”
As soon as the words fell, a sentence came from outside the door: "It's not that we freaks don't want to leave, you think I'm willing to stay here, it's your government here that won't let you leave!" With the voice coming in from outside the door, a woman holding a three-foot Qingfeng was wearing a pink shirt.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stood up and greeted him and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, you are back!" It's so late, you're rushing back from there! ”
Miss Qin glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "Don't ask around, it's not good for you to know too much." Go get me a basin of hot water,"
The shopkeeper answered, and ran to the back kitchen to fetch water, and the Qin girl walked upstairs alone to return to her room, and soon heard the voice of the shopkeeper at the door: "Miss Qin, I called you water"
Miss Qin said, "Then you can bring it in and put it there!" Xiao'er pushed the door in response and put the water down, raised her eyes and secretly meowed, and found that Miss Qin was sitting at the table staring at herself. Hurriedly frightened, he asked, "Does Miss Qin have any other orders?" ”
Miss Qin snorted coldly and said, "Look east and west like this, be careful that I gouged out your eyes!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly left the room in fright. When you go out, don't forget to close the door,
Miss Qin saw the shopkeeper go out, so she took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from the baggage and wrote the table, about a cup of tea, put the written letter in the envelope, only to see that the envelope was written on the top of the envelope, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World personally opened" to clean up everything, and after washing, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. I don't know how long I slept, I suddenly heard the gong outside the door, someone shouted loudly, the little second brother patted the door one by one and said: "Guest officer, I'm sorry for you, the state government officials check the snitch at night, please go to the lobby downstairs, it's not helpless, please bear with me!" "Since it is the government to check the snitch at night, although I am very dissatisfied, I have to get up and go downstairs. finally knocked on the woman's room, at this time, the woman finished cleaning up, opened the door, and said to the little second brother outside the door: "You don't have to say it, I heard it, I'll go downstairs!" ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face: "I'm sorry for you, disturbing your dreams!" ”
The woman waved her hand, walked out of the room by herself, and walked into the lobby on the first floor, only to see that there was a person on the square table in the lobby who was holding a teacup and tasting it carefully. ”
Huang Zhutou stretched out his hand to put the teacup on the table, and said coldly: "I have to do it, I offended Shopkeeper Li!" ”
After that, he stood up and looked at the officials in front of him, waved his hand and said, "Search!" After hearing the order, the officials who were originally standing behind them rushed upstairs and searched them one by one, and after about a cup of tea, they came down one by one and said: "Huang Zhutou, nothing has been found!" ”
After hearing this, Huang Zhutou turned to the shopkeeper Li behind him and said: "Of course it is impossible to find anything, Shopkeeper Li has always adhered to his duty, why would he do that kind of stupid thing to harbor criminals?" Do you say I'm saying yes or no? He looked at Shopkeeper Li with a smile on his face.
Shopkeeper Li hurriedly nodded and said, "That's that!" I'm just an honest businessman, how dare I? ”
Huang Zhutou said with a wicked smile: "It turns out that Shopkeeper Li is a businessman, so it's easy to do, I don't know what business Shopkeeper Li does, it won't be an intelligence business!" ”
Shopkeeper Li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Where did Huang Zhutou start!" ”
Huang Zhutou patted Shopkeeper Li's shoulder, turned around and came behind him, and said softly in his ear: "Just kidding you, look at you scared, can I still not know what you are?" “
Shopkeeper Li sighed and said, "You can scare me to death, Li is a serious businessman." “
Huang Zhutou looked at Shopkeeper Li and said: "I know Shopkeeper Li's personality, and I have just received an order from the state government yamen to thoroughly investigate the major inns and wineries and look for suspicious people. ”
Shopkeeper Li asked suspiciously, "Suspicious person?" Huang Zhutou: Do you think I have any suspicious people here? ”
Huang Zhutou glanced at the people in the hall, and when his eyes swept to the woman surnamed Qin, he couldn't help pausing slightly, and the shopkeeper Li next to him hurriedly said: "Huang Zhutou, Miss Qin is not a suspect, she is an acquaintance!" ”
Huang Zhutou looked at Shopkeeper Li suspiciously, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you didn't tell me a few days ago that you knew this Qin girl, why did you become a mature person in a blink of an eye?" This made Huang a little unbelievable! In this case, I can only forgive Huang for being clumsy and trouble Shopkeeper Li to introduce him? ”
Shopkeeper Li smiled and hurriedly said: "This is my fault, in fact, this is the case, I didn't know this Qin girl when I was with Huang Zhutou last time!" ”
Huang Zhutou glanced at Shopkeeper Li and said with a smile: "It's only been two days, and it's a bit unbelievable that it's so familiar!" ”
Shopkeeper Huang smiled awkwardly and said, "Actually, it's very simple, it's only because Miss Qin showed me something that I'm like this." ”
Huang Zhutou said thoughtfully: "Then forgive Huang for being clumsy, bother Shopkeeper Li to introduce him?" ”
Shopkeeper Li said with a smile on his face: "It's easy to say at this time, it's not an outsider." After that, he came to Miss Qin with a smile and hugged his fists and said, "Miss Qin, this person in front of you is the head catcher here Huang Zhutou!" ”
Miss Qin clasped her fists and saluted and said, "Qin Keqing has seen Huang Zhutou!" ”
Huang Zhutou was stunned for a moment, and then he also hugged his fists and saluted: "Huang Zhihe has seen Miss Qin!" ”
Shopkeeper Li said with a smile next to him: "Miss Qin is not a suspicious character, Huang Zhutou might as well guess!" ”
Huang Zhutou let out an "oh", looked Miss Qin up and down, and said, "I don't know if Miss Qin knows Yun Chengming?" ”
Qin Keqing was slightly stunned and said with a smile like a flower: "Why does Huang Zhutou ask this question? ”
