234 The Moon and the Ditch

() In the ruins under the moonlight, only Jun Qinglan was left in an instant. Everything happened in the blink of an eye, Jun Qinglan was stunned for a long time, and she never understood why all of a sudden, none of the people around her were gone?

In the end...... What happened?

In the distant night, a man's melodious but indifferent voice came from afar: "You don't want to leave, do you want to stay for dinner?" ”

“…… Kindness? ”

Jun Qinglan's body trembled, and she always felt that the temperature in the surroundings suddenly became a little colder, inexplicably...... It's terrifying. She turned her head sideways, and could vaguely see the vague long figure of the man in the dim yellow light three feet away, so she chased after her in three or two steps. However, that person did not wait for her, and always kept a distance of three feet from her, no matter how hard Jun Qinglan tried, he was never able to catch up with him.

The two got into the sedan chair in this manner. After that, Jun Qinglan didn't see Li Congyao again, only Rong Xi smiled and stood under the wind lamp at the door of the inn, waiting for her respectfully.

"Your Excellency." He smiled and said, "Childe asked the slave to bring you a word." ”

“…… What the? Jun Qinglan was stunned. Is something terrible going on? If you can't say something to your face, you have to ask someone to convey it?

"Childe said that coincidences are often to cover up the truth."

Jun Qinglan blinked, coincidence? Did Li Congyao refer to seeing Chen Mobai in the ruins?

"Mo Bai is actually ......."

"Adults don't need to explain to their minions." Rong Xi smiled and said: "Childe's life has not been easy, I hope you don't want to push his only warmth into the ice cave again." ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips, thinking about what Rong Xi meant by what she said later.

Then he saw the man bow deeply to himself: "This is what the servant said to you, please keep it in your heart." Don't applaud the bright moon shining into the ditch. ”

Seeing that the man turned around decisively, Jun Qinglan felt that the whole person was depressed. Are these individuals in Duanwangfu all evil today? How can one or two of them be yin and yang!

Jun Qinglan didn't sleep well this night, and when she woke up, she was already three poles old. It stands to reason that this is the longest she has slept since she went out, but she didn't feel relaxed at all, she only felt sore, weak and weak, and she was a little embarrassed. However, thinking that he was going to visit Huang Yuan today, he forced his spirit to open the door and go out.

Rong Xi had already prepared breakfast for her, and Jun Qinglan barely ate a few bites, and then told Li Congyao that she could leave.

To get to Huang Yuan's house, you must pass through the county guard's mansion. The inn chosen by Li Congyao is very cleverly located, just in the middle of the Qin family and the county guard's mansion, and it is not too far from anywhere. Today is a rare sunny day, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is warm and bright, Li Congyao simply abandoned the sedan chair and the horse, and wanted to walk directly.

Jun Qinglan was beside him, not far away, not close. Today, he didn't deliberately keep his distance from her, but neither of them spoke, silently blending into the noisy market of Guanzhou Mansion. After six years, there doesn't seem to be much change here from before, but Jun Qinglan is still interested.

Gradually walking in front of the county guard's mansion, Jun Qinglan pointed to a small alley on the west side: "Huang Yuan's house is in that alley. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to go right away." Li Congyao half-squinted his eyes and stared at the county guard mansion for a moment: "Let's stop here for a while." ”

With that, he stood at the gate of the county guard's mansion. In Northern Xia, any state and county official

The highest person is the county guard. However, because of the special status of the capital and the merits of the ancestors of the Qin family, the Guanzhou Mansion set up a special envoy to the festival, which overpowered the county guard.

After Yingzong ascended the throne, he had already revoked the titles of the envoys of the festivals in various places, and the Qin family was the only and last envoy of the Northern Xia festivals. However, the history of the festival envoy came to an end forever in Qin Yu.

Since then, Huang Zhong has really become the first person at the peak of the entire Nanyang County. However, he is different from all dignitaries, he is kind and close to the people, and has no arrogance. In the event of cloudy rains and natural disasters, he will always be the first to go to the scene and organize disaster relief. When the summer flood rises, you can always see him on the Lingshui embankment.

Therefore, in Nanyang County, his reputation is no worse than Qin Yu, and he is also a beloved official.

It stands to reason that Qin Yu was pressed in the past, and it is understandable that he lowered his eyebrows and was cautious. However, the Qin family has disappeared for six full years, but he is still the same as before, which is quite rare.

It is precisely because Huang Zhong is low-key and humble that his yamen is not like other places, and there are domineering and arrogant officials standing at the door. There are only two officials on duty at the entrance of the ya, and everyone is smiling and looking at it, and they are also very kind and kind. So much so that there were full stalls on both sides of the yamen, and they could chat with the stall owners from time to time.

Li Congyao walked slowly in front of the stall, and gradually turned into the alley to the west.

"The assassination that night had nothing to do with Huang Zhong." He said.

Jun Qinglan squinted, this is ...... What do you mean? He insisted on staying in front of the county guard for a while, just to confirm whether the assassination at the mouth of the river was instigated by Huang Zhong? However, he was there for nothing more than a walk and a look. is actually sure that Huang Zhong has nothing to do with this matter?

Li Congyao didn't explain, so he entered the West Alley, and frowned slightly after walking a few steps. Ruyu pointed his long finger towards the oblique thorn not far away: "There, but Huang Yuan's residence?" ”

This is the first time Li Congyao has come to Guanzhou Mansion, and he has never heard of Huang Yuan before. However, he didn't look like a stranger for the first time.

Jun Qinglan followed his finger and looked, there were several carriages parked in front of a family on the quiet and empty street of West Lane, and the bustling figure almost blocked the courtyard of the person's house. There, it is where Huang Yuan's mansion is located.

Most of the people living in the west alley are the big people who are either rich or expensive in the state capital, so this street has always been quiet, and there will be no idle people and other random contacts. The grand scene in front of Huang Yuan's door Jun Qinglan has never seen it, and it is inevitable that people will be a little curious in their hearts.

Jun Qinglan blinked and looked at Li Congyao: "How do you know that Huang Yuan lives there." ”

"He's a very human being." Li Congyao said lightly: "Extraordinary people, naturally have extraordinary things. ”

Just because of this? Jun Qinglan said that he did not understand.

"Ah Wei." She was thinking about what Li Congyao's rare sharpness was for today, when she suddenly heard someone calling behind her. Now, in this world, you can call her that, you don't need to look at it to know who it is.

"Mo Bai?" Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "Why are you here?" ”

I went to Fuzhong to pay tribute and met Chen Mobai last night, and I came to visit Huang Yuan today and met him again, such a coincidence inevitably makes people feel unreal. Jun Qinglan frowned slightly, could it be true that as Li Congyao said, most of the coincidences in the world have ulterior motives? What truth does Chen Mobai have about her that needs to be covered?

Chen Mobai

Nodding to Li Congyao first was regarded as a greeting, and then he said to Jun Qinglan: "I was in a hurry when I left the Guanzhou Mansion that day, and I didn't have a careful understanding of many things about my father-in-law and mother-in-law. I have visited several elders in the clan successively, and today I want to come back to Elder Huang to understand the situation at that time. I don't want to, but I ran into you again. ”

"Have you met with the elders of your clan?" Jun Qinglan was a little moved when she heard it. Her current status is not appropriate for her to meet with the people of her clan, but that doesn't mean that she doesn't want to get useful information from the rest of her family.

"What did Huang Yuan talk to you about?" Li Congyao didn't wait for Chen Mobai to speak, so he asked first.

In this way, Jun Qinglan's attention was immediately attracted by Huang Yuan, and the elders of the clan were completely left behind.

Chen Mobai hooked the corners of his lips before he spoke, his eyes were warm and clear, and he looked at Li Congyao for a moment. Li Congyao did not evade, and also looked directly at him. Jun Qinglan always felt that the eyes of these two people seemed to hide the stormy waves, but when they looked closely, they were clearly the same as usual. I only felt that the second monk was confused.

"I'm so sorry." Chen Mobai smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to provide anything useful for the two of you." Because, I didn't see Huang Lao at all. ”

His gaze looked at the crowd at Huang Yuan's gate, and there was a deep meaning in his smile: "As for the reason, it's up to you to explore it yourself." After all....... ”

He looked at Jun Qinglan: "My words shouldn't be as trustworthy as others say, aren't they?" ”

The man arched his hand and left. Jun Qinglan was stunned: "What does this mean?" ”

"Who knows." Li Congyao turned his head sideways indifferently, and looked at a wine shop diagonally opposite Huang Yuan's mansion: "Rong Xi, you go to find out the news." ”

Rong Xi didn't leave for a long time, and he slowly swayed out of the wine shop without much effort. Holding a huge wine jar in his arms, he almost covered his face, and it was a little difficult to walk. Tang Ying's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards him, and couldn't help but snatch the wine jar in his hand and push it into the crowd.

"Childe." Rong Xi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and it was clear that the other party was still apprehensive when he was only so big in a jar of wine.

"Huang Yanzuo came in and became seriously ill, not only did he not walk around the yamen for a long time, but he didn't even go out of the door when he came in. The county guards put up notices everywhere in the city to seek medical treatment for him, but to little avail, and those who blocked his door were all famous doctors recommended by the provinces. ”

Jun Qinglan frowned fiercely.

Huang Yuan is sick? Look at such a big battle, the illness is not light. He is the key figure in the Qin family's case, but he must not be allowed to make any mistakes at this moment.

"Since it's a famous doctor, why are they all blocked at the door?"

"Childe, you are really sharp-eyed." Rong Xi smiled: "I can see at a glance that those people are not treated by Huang Yan." Isn't it because his illness is getting worse day by day, and these so-called famous doctors are doing nothing at all? Huang Cheng was overwhelmed, so he stopped them all, and these days, no one has been able to enter the Huang Mansion. ”

"You go and inform Uncle Liu to come quickly."

"Okay." Rong Xi smiled and was about to leave, but asked Jun Qinglan to reach out and stop him.

"Huang Lao has been completely disappointed in Lang Zhong, and I am afraid that no Lang Zhong will be able to tempt him at this time."

Li Congyao looked at her: "Do you have a way?" ”

Jun Qinglan smiled, her eyes bright as stars: "Of course! ”
