Chapter Thirty-Eight: Meeting a Best Friend
There were four big men sitting at that table, and at first glance they were drinking friends who often gathered together to chat.
Passerby A: "I heard that no, there was a death in the west of the city yesterday." β
Passerby B disagreed, picked up the bowl and drank it all, "What's so strange about a dead person?" It's not unusual that no one dies one day. β
Passerby threw a peanut into his mouth and agreed: "That's it, it makes sense." β
Passerby A continued: "It's not unusual for this dead person to die, but what if it's the daughter of the city guard who died? β
"This, what's going on? Let's hear it. β
"That's it, don't sell your officials."
Passerby A saw that everyone was interested, and a sense of pride rose in his heart - this matter is top secret! He lowered his voice: "The daughter of the city guard died outside the side gate of Baihualou. β
When everyone heard this, they were shocked: "Isn't this Baihualou the Qinglou?" β
"Not really! Or you don't know about it! Think about it, the young lady who guards the house in the dignified city died at the back door of the green building, and the body was found by the husband who worked on the watch! β
"And then?"
"It is said that the death of the young lady, tsk, is simply miserable! There was no good meat on his face, his clothes were disheveled, and if it weren't for a birthmark on his arm, the city guard wouldn't have recognized that this was his own daughter! Ay! It is estimated that he suffered a lot of sins before he died. Passerby A shook his head again and again, it's a pity, he was a great beauty before he died.
"You can't have made this up, right? Why is there no wind at all? β
"I have a relative who got a job in the government, and I just found out. Such an ugly thing, how humiliating! How can the city guard blatantly arrest the murderer? β
"Then the murderer hasn't been caught yet?"
"Noβ"
I only heard passer-by A say again: "Actually, this daughter seems to be just a concubine, and the city guard doesn't seem to care very much, otherwise how could something happen and try to cover it up, but not catch the murderer?" β
Shen Yanzhi looked at Rongjin's line of sight, "What are you looking at?" β
Rong Jin said: "They're talking about murder." β
"Don't be nosy, we'll have to hurry tomorrow morning. Quickly finished eating and went back to the room to rest. β
Rong Jin responded well, but he was thinking, that woman was really pitiful.
The group will set off for Yizhou early tomorrow morning.
After dinner, Rongjin lazily supported his hands and leaned on the window to watch the excitement.
A woman in the crowd caught her attention.
On a hot day, she wrapped herself tightly, wrapped a square scarf around her head, covered her face with a gauze scarf, only showed a pair of eyes, sneakily hugged something, and looked left and right after coming out of the herb shop.
Opposite the inn where Rongjin lived was a medicinal herb shop.
Her eyes had a familiar feeling, like an old acquaintance she had known a long time ago.
She quickly went downstairs, looking for the direction in which she was walking, this woman was unusually conspicuous in the crowd, and Rong Jin easily followed.
The alleys are winding, criss-crossed, and unusually quiet, with only the slight sound of footsteps, which is very different from the bustling city on the side of the street.
The woman was very familiar with the alley, and she was seen turning around and around. Xu was too anxious, she trotted all the way, and did not notice that someone was following her.
She came to a small courtyard, gently pushed open the wooden door, which was a little dilapidated and made a "squeak" sound, and then carefully closed it.
Rongjin looked at it, wondering whether he would climb over the wall and go in openly. Suddenly, there was a man's angry scolding, the sound of things shattering, and then the sound of a woman crying.
She didn't care much, and just broke down the door.
The scene in front of her made her stunned.
The ground was covered with broken porcelain, and the woman was sitting on the ground with her head down, her hair was messy, and she covered her face and let out a low cry. Next to him stood a man, wearing a silver-white double-diamond pattern straight robe, with a gold silk embroidered belt around his waist, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a slender figure. He had an angry look on his face, and he was raising his hand high at the moment.
She didn't have time to think about it, and she didn't have a hidden weapon at hand, so in a hurry, she pulled out the hairpin on her head as a hidden weapon and threw it towards the man's hand.
"Ahββ!h The man screamed, and there was a sharp pain in his palm, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a golden hosta across the palm, stuck in the palm, and the blood did not stop.
The woman was also stunned by the scene in front of her, and quickly stood up, checked the wound for him, and saw that the wound was very scary, and said with a choked voice: "Xianggong, I'll take you to the doctor!" β
The man shook the woman's hand, "Get out of here!" β
He looked at the person by the door and asked sharply, "Who are you?!" β
"A-Nishiki?" The woman also raised her eyes and recognized Rongjin at a glance, and hurriedly covered the scarf to cover her blue and red face.
"Are you the sister of the Zhong family?" Rongjin said in surprise.
This woman is Zhong Jin.
Zhong Jin knew how embarrassed he was now, so he straightened his sideburns a little and said, "It's me." β
Although Zhong Jin was not a peerless elegance before, at least he was also a beautiful woman, but the person in front of him did not have a complete piece of good meat on his face, and if he didn't distinguish it carefully, he could hardly see the original appearance.
Rongjin seems to have a big stone blocked in his heart, which is heavy. She was furious, pulled out her sword sharply, pointed it at the man's heart, but said to Zhong Jin: "Who is this person?" How dare I bully you like this? I slaughtered him! β
The man gritted his teeth, cold sweat trickled from his forehead, and he only felt that the palm of his hand was so painful that his face was slightly distorted. The woman's kung fu in front of him was above him, and the secret weapon of Shicai came too fast for him to dodge at all, he glared at Zhong Jin fiercely, and was about to leave here.
Rong Jin shouted: "Don't move! My sword doesn't have eyes! β
The man couldn't, so he had to look at Zhong Jin, but when he saw that she had lost her soul, he said gloomily: "Zhong Jin, do you want to see me die here?" β
Zhong Jin came back to his senses, saw that his hands were dyed blood-red, and stepped forward to pull Rongjin's hand, "Ah Jin, let him go." β
Rong Jin wanted to teach him a profound lesson, but seeing that Zhong Jin's eyes were full of pleading, and tears were rolling in her eyes, she put down the sword in her hand and shouted angrily: "Don't get out of here!" β
The man glanced at the two of them angrily, clutched the wounded, and walked away resolutely.
After a while, Zhong Jin poured a cup of hot water for Rongjin, and his words were full of apologies: "There is no tea at home, don't mind." β
"What's wrong with your hand?!" When Zhong Jin poured water, he accidentally lifted the corner of his sleeve, revealing a stone-sized scar on his wrist, which was very strange, snow-white, slightly swollen, and looked a little terrifying.
Zhong Jin's face was a little flustered, and he hurriedly pulled his sleeves to cover it. explained: "It's okay, I just accidentally burned it." β
"Who is he?" Rong Jin wanted to ask her what was going on, how could she be like this now, but she didn't ask how to ask.
"When is his name, it's mineβhusband." The word husband seems to weigh a thousand pounds, and she has exhausted all her strength to say it.
