Chapter 181: Extinguishing the Mouth
Looking at Xiao Yin's suddenly enlarged face, Ran Qiunian was silent all of a sudden, looking at the flawless face in front of him in a distraction, Xiao Yin's voice gently blew on Ran Qiunian's face, and the warm breath brought a burst of heat.
Ran Qiunian was caught off guard by this sudden approach, her ears turned red all of a sudden, she nodded woodenly, and when she came back to her senses, Xiao Yin's back had disappeared into the thick smoke.
"Where's the big brother?" Ran Qiunian asked subconsciously.
"The young master went to the dungeon, the eldest lady waited for a while, the young master will be back soon." Mo Shi dutifully answered Ran Qiunian's question.
Ran Qiunian looked at the jailers who were putting out the fire not far away, and heard the chaotic footsteps of the noisy crowd and the sound of water splashing on the ground, so he could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that Xiao Yin could take the Wang family's mother and son out of the dungeon safely.
As Xiao Yin expected, although the fire burned very much around the dungeon, it could not burn into the cell made of fine iron.
He soaked the water with Ran Qiunian's handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose, crossed the fire outside, and quickly dived into the smoky dungeon.
Fortunately, the dungeon of the Wang family's mother and son was arranged by Xiao Yin himself during the day, and he was quite familiar with the terrain in the cell, and soon he followed the route in his memory to find the cell where the shopkeeper Wang and Granny Wang were imprisoned.
Looking at the broken chains on the cell door, Xiao Yin's face sank, and he could almost imagine the situation in the cell, he reached out and pushed the door open and walked in.
Granny Wang and Shopkeeper Wang have all been extinguished, and the fire outside is just a trigger to divert everyone's attention, and the real purpose of those arsonists is the mother and son of the Wang family imprisoned in this dungeon.
Unfortunately, he came a step too late.
Xiao Yin squatted down to check the scars on the shopkeeper Wang's body, and he noticed that there was no extra wound on the shopkeeper's body, only a fatal wound on the chest, and the edge of the wound was very even, and the murderer must have been quick and ruthless.
Since the person was dead, Xiao Yin had no reason to continue to stay, he withdrew from the cell and quickly returned to it.
Seeing Xiao Yin coming up empty-handed, Ran Qiunian's heart sank, she took a few steps forward, and opened her mouth, although she didn't ask, Xiao Yin knew what Ran Qiunian wanted to know.
Without waiting for Xiao Yin to speak, Ran Qiunian guessed the result from his empty hands and the sad look in his eyes, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but cry:
"If I insist on it during the day, I can at least save Granny Wang."
Ran Qiunian said reproachfully.
Xiao Yin sighed in her heart, raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It was the arsonist who killed Granny Wang and Shopkeeper Wang, and the decision to stay in the dungeon was also made by Granny Wang herself, Nian'er doesn't have to be too harsh on herself." ”
Who was the arsonist? Ran Qiunian didn't believe in the rhetoric of the officials, how could Dali Temple suddenly go to the water, if someone didn't deliberately set it on fire, it would never have been possible for this fire to burn so big.
Who doesn't know such an easy-to-understand truth? But the whole Dali Temple is pretending to be confused, no one is willing to take this responsibility, you push me, I push you, and finally the root cause of the water is pushed to the head of the natural disaster.
Such a result was also expected by Ran Qiunian and Xiao Yin, the shopkeeper Wang was dead, and the clue to this case was broken.
"I didn't expect that the arsonist even infiltrated the Dali Temple, if it wasn't for someone in the Dali Temple to answer at this time, how could he unknowingly burn this fire?"
Although he knew that this matter would not be resolved, Ran Qiunian was still very angry when he mentioned it.
"The people behind him have a huge complexity, I'm afraid they are in a high position in the court, Nian'er, don't meddle in this matter, this case of the money shopkeeper, I'm afraid it can only be shelved for the time being."
This case was hastily closed because of the death of the Wang shopkeeper, although Xiao Yin felt that there were still doubts, but Dali Temple retracted the case, and directly judged that the Wang shopkeeper had killed people and absconded in fear of crime.
"This trend in the DPRK and China is becoming more and more rampant, and hundreds of officials cannot seek their positions in their positions, and they only know how to pass the buck to each other in case of trouble, and make profits from it.
Xiao Yin's words made Ran Qiunian also fall into deep thought, in her memory, this year is a rare bumper year, but this is only for the Central Plains, but the barbarian tribe outside the Saiwai has encountered a cold winter weather that occurs once in decades, and countless cattle and sheep have froze to death.
In the spring of next year, the barbarians who can't stand the hunger will send troops to the border to rob the Central Plains of money and grain, but the nobles and officials who are drunk and dreaming of death in the capital are still indulging in pleasure and ignoring the people at the border gates.
Until the well-fed elite of the barbarian iron cavalry approached the capital......
That year is known as the "Year of National Disaster", in Ran Qiunian's memory, I don't know how many people died, but it is ridiculous that she was also a member of the drunken dream in the capital at that time, if it weren't for Xiao Yin to abandon the pen and follow Rong, he took on the burden of a military general in times of crisis.
Thinking of this, Ran Qiunian looked at Xiao Yin's expression a little complicated, time waits for no one, although many things have changed because of her rebirth, but such a big natural disaster is not something she can change alone.
Sooner or later, the iron cavalry of the barbarians will march towards the Central Plains, but these pillars of the country in the royal city are still sucking the little silver in front of them, and the infighting continues.
Ran Qiunian sighed, there was not much time left for her. Her expression gradually cleared, and she put aside her distractions, determined to do her best to prepare for the next war.
"Big brother, don't worry, I know the severity of this matter, and I won't be impulsive, but Granny Wang and Shopkeeper Wang can't die in vain, one day I will find out the person behind the troublemaker and make them pay the price."
Ran Qiunian grabbed Xiao Yin's hand with a firm expression and said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yin keenly noticed the faint change that Ran Qiunian made after saying this, he nodded, and did not delve into what made Ran Qiunian's state of mind change.
Seeing that Ran Qiunian was cheering up from Granny Wang's death, Xiao Yin was a lot more relieved.
After separating from Xiao Yin, Ran Qiunian took a carriage to the hairpin pavilion on Xishi Street, and saw the new shopkeeper Qian Duo, who was busy in and out.
"Owner, the shop has been almost packed up in the past few days, and the goods have arrived one after another, as long as you give an order, this side can be opened at any time."
Although the case of the shopkeeper Qian is a bit anticlimactic, the three people who Qian Duo believes are inseparable from his father's death have all died, and Qian Duo can be regarded as "revenge".
Ran Qiunian, who helped him achieve his wish, was naturally very loyal, and his heart was hung on the shop.
"Okay, although the shop can open at any time, but you still need to choose the most suitable time, don't rush to do it first, there are not a hundred or fifty jewelry shops in the capital, how can others know how good my jewelry is?"
Ran Qiunian touched his chin and said pointedly.
"I've seen all the goods that the owner sent people to make, don't worry, from the perspective of my years of going south and north, it is definitely a must, even the best jewelry shop in the capital is not as good as our half of it."
If there is a lot of money, although some Wang Po sells melons and boasts, it is also a fact, the jewelry here is all made by Ran Qiunian after the most popular style in the capital in the next few years in his memory, and there will never be similar jewelry on the market.
She can almost imagine that once the jewelry in this shop is launched, it will definitely not be sold.
But this is far from enough, Ran Qiunian's ambitions are even greater, and she wants more, in addition to money, she also wants fame, which requires careful planning.
"You wait, now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, I have inquired clearly where this shareholder wind will come from, just wait for me to borrow three points of momentum, and make a name for our shop."
The undisguised ambition in Ran Qiunian's words touched Qian Duo's heart, and he couldn't help but think about what Ran Qiunian said.
"If my father knows that I not only took over his class, but also can make the hairpin pavilion in such a position, he doesn't know how happy he will be."
Qian Duo suppressed his excitement, his eyes were slightly red, and he said such a thing.
Ran Qiunian could only pat him on the shoulder silently, the pain of losing his loved ones, others couldn't share the pain for him, only he slowly came out of his grief.
Qian Duo quickly cleaned up his mood and asked Ran Qiunian's plan: "Where does the owner plan to borrow this east wind from, and how to borrow it?" ”
"Mountain people have their own tricks."
Ran Qiunian didn't know what to think, evoked a meaningful smile, and sold a pass: "You will naturally know when the time comes." ”
Qian Duo scratched his heart and lungs curiously, but Ran Qiunian had the intention to tease him, and after only half a sentence, he turned around and left with a smile.
As soon as Ran Qiunian walked out of the door of the shop, he collided with a young man with a long and tall body.
"I'm sorry, I'm reckless, I wonder what's wrong with the girl?"
The boy was dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan in his hand, and he was elegant, Ran Qiunian took a few steps back, distanced himself from people, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but glance at the folding fan in his hand several times.
Seeing this, the son's brother opened the folding fan quite complacently and fanned himself amorously, revealing a gentle smile, but Ran Qiunian was forced to take two steps back by the cold wind set off, and couldn't help but apologize and asked: "On this cold day, doesn't the son feel cold with the folding fan?" ”
In fact, after opening the folding fan, Brother Gongzi obviously had a moment of stiffness, and after hearing Ran Qiunian's words, he could barely hold the merry smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ran Qiunian saw the person opposite cough lightly, slowly withdrew the folding fan, and smiled at Ran Qiunian:
"I saw that the style of the hairpin ring between the girl's hair was novel, I have never seen it, I think I bought it in this hairpin pavilion? I've been paying attention to this shop for a long time, and I'm passing through here today, so I'll take this opportunity to pick one or two for my younger sisters. ”
Brother Gongzi's eyes flickered, and he swept between Ran Qiunian's hair, and asked casually. Ran Qiunian sensed a bit of disobedience and was a little vigilant.
