Chapter 249: Sleepless Night
"I don't know what kind of umbrella you need?" Old Khan looked at him behind Han Yan.
Han Yan held an umbrella in his hand and said, "These are too ordinary, what I want is a handful that can kill." ”
Old Khan smiled: "Your Excellency said that I am an ordinary umbrella seller, I don't know what umbrella can kill, but I am afraid that I can't do it." ”
When Han Yan turned around, his eyes were full of cold light: "Really?" I've seen people use it, and I've heard that you're a great umbrella maker, and I thought it would be nice if you could make it. ”
Old Khan was still smiling, didn't answer, just shook his head.
"That's it, I can't come here, and I can't go back empty-handed, you pick a good one for me, I'll buy it." Han Yan said, took out the silver and put it on the counter.
Old Khan responded with a smile and went to Hanyan with an umbrella.
In the interval between Lao Khan's departure, Han Yan looked around the room, and his brows furrowed slightly.
This person lives strangely, a foreigner, and there is no totem or some special items of his own clan in the whole house, but all of them are Nanwan's things.
There are only a few directions, with a crescent moon decoration.
The whole house is a small two-story building, and now the first floor where he is located is the shop where Lao Khan usually does business, and the front and back are open, and you can see the street and the shop opposite.
There was a narrow staircase next to the counter, and the staircase going up should be where Old Khan lived.
Han Yan looked at the umbrellas that were on display.
It didn't look any different from the outside, so he grabbed a handful, Han Yan weighed it, and slowly seemed to have found something, and stared at the umbrella handle carefully for a while.
Then he jerked his head up, and his gaze fell on the door of a cubicle on the first floor.
"That's the storeroom."
Old Khan's voice came from behind Han Yan: "Some sundries are thrown there, and it is also a place where wild cats frequent, so it is a good nest." ”
Han Yan turned his head and saw Old Khan walking towards him with a bamboo umbrella in his hand.
"Although this umbrella can't kill people, it can prevent being plotted."
Lao Khan opened the umbrella and gently stroked it with his hand, to be honest, this is a work that he has done for nearly half a year to complete, and the materials used are different from the conventional.
He knew that Hanyan was not easy to distract, and he also knew that he had to find something to divert Hanyan's attention, so he took out the umbrella.
Han Yan and Lao Khan said a few words haha, and then left with an umbrella.
Out of that range, the Dark Guard appeared.
"Young owner, I just saw a figure flash through the back door, and I have already sent someone to follow." Dark Guard.
Han Yan nodded: "Put the people first, you guys watch carefully." ”
He still has some things that have not been verified, and only when the verification is done can we know who should decide this person's life.
Han Yan and the dark guard returned to the dark pile stronghold, and the old Khan also sat alone in the room to calm down.
He wanted to go out and ask someone to inquire about Hanyan's identity, but as soon as he went out, he saw that the sloppy man was still dying in the courtyard, and an inexplicable pressure hit him.
hurriedly buried the sloppy and closed the store.
The news they received was just for them to assassinate Emperor Qinrui, but now it seems that he always feels that something is wrong.
Baili Mo inquired about the news in the market, checked all the new people in the inn recently, and found a few people to knock on the side to find out the news of the black market.
They had only heard of the black market before, but the transactions in the black market were messy, and things that were larger with sesame seeds could be resold in it.
Moreover, the black market is just a general term, unlike Yuhualou, which is an entity that is placed there, so after checking around, there is no too useful information.
When he didn't have an idea, Bailimo saw Han Yan carrying an umbrella and found him, and learned from Hanyan what happened before, Baili Mo suddenly had an idea, and the two looked at each other, planning to sell umbrellas and fish on the black market.
But again, where is the black market?
Xu Shaolin came out of the courtyard, went to a few shops under his control, and sat in the private room with these stewards, others came to entertain him, and he came to ask about things.
"Valley Master, we thought you were busy traveling lately and wouldn't come over?" A shopkeeper said.
Xu Shaolin smiled and took the tea he handed over: "It's because I'm going out for a while, come and see, after all, all the shopkeepers are in Jicheng under the nose of King Yu, and there is no room for mistakes." ”
"Hehe, don't worry, the valley master, everything is normal here." The kind-faced steward said with a smile.
Xu Shaolin also nodded, he patrolled around, and let Holly take a rough look at the account book or something last night, and there was no problem.
"Where's the shopkeeper?" Xu Shaolin looked around and found that the tea merchant Qi shopkeeper was not there, and asked.
"Huh." A steward sighed, "The child of the old Qi family had a serious illness at the end of the year, and it hasn't eased up yet, and I can't do without people around me, so Lao Qi asked me to wait to ask the valley master for leave." ”
Xu Shaolin waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about this matter: "I went to the valley to discuss matters before, why didn't I mention it?" ”
"Lao Qi said that he has a way, so he won't bother the valley."
At that time, they also persuaded the shopkeeper to go to the valley to ask, if the second master of the sect is here, maybe there is still someone who can be saved.
But Lao Qi refused, their family was already down, if Xu Shaolin hadn't taken a fancy to his family's tea mountain and gave him the right to operate, their family might not be gone now.
He felt that he already owed too much kindness to the valley, and he planned to solve this matter by himself.
"What happened?" Xu Shaolin was sincerely concerned, thinking that if it didn't work, he would let Zongyue send Nan Ke to go.
The kind steward also put away his smile and said, "I don't know where he found a pair of medicines, it is said that it cost a lot of money, and the child has been fine for a while, but it didn't work a few days ago." ”
"I've heard of this, didn't Lao Qi ask me to look at the shop for a day or two during that time, and then went out of the city, and when I came back, I came to my store with two large bags of medicine in my hand."
The shopkeeper of the Jicheng Medical Center said in a dumb voice, he opened the medicine and looked at it, there was no big problem, it was just a bunch of medicines mixed together, he really had never seen such a prescription.
Xu Shaolin kept a heart in his eyes and asked him, "Do you remember what medicinal materials you have?" ”
"Yes." After the shopkeeper of the medical hall finished speaking, he asked someone to bring a pen and paper, brush it a few times, and handed the list full of medicinal materials to Xu Shaolin.
"Gu Master, the medicinal herbs are too broken, and the first two numbers here are my approximate estimates."
"It doesn't matter." Xu Shaolin took the prescription, handed it to the holly behind him, and then continued to chat with the shopkeepers.
After the evening, these people who were outside went back to the other courtyard, and Gu Qingyan was already sitting on the swing in the courtyard of Qingluan Courtyard, leaning on the rope to empty himself.
Dinner was made by Su Xin, originally the mother-in-law was preparing it in the kitchen, and she didn't want to be seen by Gu Qingyan, who had just gotten up, Gu Qingyan felt awkward, so she asked Su Xin to take over the work of her mother-in-law, let her cook, and let the mother-in-law give her a hand.
"You're not afraid of being tired."
Zong Yue asked Yiyi to sit down, and then said to Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan smiled, she also felt that she would be tired to Su Xin, but there was no way, for strangers, she was seriously suspicious, and it was already a big concession to let them stay in Qingluan Courtyard.
Su Xin also smiled after the dish: "I'm not tired, my master eats happily, I'm happy." ”
Zong Yue looked at Su Xin, who was stupid, with a look of disgust, and didn't plan to say anything more.
After a lively meal, the people at this table went back to the house very tacitly.
Gu Qingyan changed into light clothes and tied her hair into a bunch.
"Master."
Beiming came in to spread the word and told Gu Qingyan the locations of Dongsheng and Dongshi respectively.
"Okay, Su Xin, you still stay in the yard, this is for awakening, if you find that the taste is wrong, open this."
Gu Qingyan left a small box for Su Xin, which contained the awakening pills she had made after waking up in the afternoon.
After explaining Su Xin, he took Beiming to the main hall first.
happened to meet Baili Mo and Hanyan who were ready to go out lightly like her in the main hall.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded, but they didn't ask each other where they were going.
"Big brother, how do you arrange it?" Gu Qingyan asked Xu Shaolin, who was drinking tea.
Xu Shaolin looked at the three people in front of him, and silently hoped that the three of them wouldn't make any big moves tonight.
"I'll go to the shopkeeper with your second brother in a while." So he is not in a hurry, and he doesn't have to change his clothes like these three people.
"Okay, then let's go first." After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, he took the lead in turning around and going out, with light steps, and disappeared into the night.
Holly stepped forward and said a few words to Xi Du, this afternoon, he monitored all the people who came to prepare to assassinate Gu Qingyan as he said, and handed over the rest to Baili Mo and Xi Duel.
Han Yan decided to go to the West Market again, there was a ghost in the old Khan's house, and he had to explore it again to feel at ease.
Xu Shaolin told him: "The West Market is different after all, if there is anything else, say it in advance." ”
"Hmm." Han Yan responded, he was measured.
Everyone left again, and this night, Jicheng should be more lively than during the day.
Even in the royal palace, each has his own heart.
King Yu was explaining the wedding of Ye Jinliang's family tomorrow during the Fengxi period, Princess Yu summoned Feng Niangzi, and the two talked about it in the dormitory.
Mrs. Wen couldn't sleep, she knew that her brother was going to enter the palace to see her, and she also knew that Aunt Li had been punished after returning from the courtyard today, and when she rested, no one had been able to come out of the torture room.
"Ma'am." As soon as she closed her eyes, Mrs. Wen whispered in her ear.
"What?" Mrs. Wen asked in a low voice.
The maid said: "The princess summoned Feng Niangzi tonight, and Feng Niangzi has not returned to the palace yet. ”
Mrs. Wen sat up from the bed, her heart was beating fast, originally King Yu was going to come to her palace tonight, but after returning from the courtyard, King Yu asked his father-in-law to come and pass the word, but he couldn't say it.
Mrs. Wen originally thought that it was just because Aunt Li had abruptly dismissed the emperor.
But now, when I think about it, I realize that something is not quite right.
The princess also came back from the other courtyard, and after she came back, she found Feng Niangzi, and last time, she and Feng Niangzi were jealous, and Emperor Qinrui stood on Feng Niangzi's side.
Although she didn't embarrass herself, she also felt that between her and Feng Niangzi, Emperor Qinrui was more inclined to Feng Niangzi.
After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Wen got up, wrote a letter to Li Linyu, and handed it to the little maid: "You must find a way to give this letter to my brother tonight." ”
"Yes."
The little maid retreated in response, and trotted out of Madame Wen's palace with the letter.
The long alley lit by the lamp stretched the figure very long, and the little maid only felt a chill, tightened her collar, and clutched the letter in her hand.
trotted through a palace gate, covered her mouth with one hand, and dragged the person directly to a no-man's corner....
