Ji Yanning and Pearl had nothing to do, and continued on the street that they didn't finish shopping yesterday, Rong Che saw that Ji Yanning was not interested, so he went with them.

With last night's dream, Ji Yanning would always look at the lanterns hanging on the surrounding houses, or the lanterns held by pedestrians on the road, intentionally or unintentionally.

But none of that felt right, only the lantern in the man's hand.

Ji Yanning didn't know what was wrong with her, she felt that her body was a little weak, as if she was close to the cemeteries where her bones were hidden.

Rong Che saw her absent-minded appearance, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, it's better to go back to the inn to rest first." ”

Although Pearl wanted to go shopping, but seeing Ji Yanning's appearance, she naturally couldn't ignore the safety of the eldest lady, so she nodded and said, "Yes, eldest miss, let's go back." ”

Ji Yanning was not reluctant, nodded, and the group began to walk in the direction of the inn.

"Ahh

When they heard the dead man, everyone was shocked and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

After a while, there were already a lot of people at the mouth of the small alley not far away.

Some people like to watch the excitement, and some people are unlucky, so they are far away.

Ji Yanning and his party were originally a little close to the direction of the entrance of the small alley, but they were pushed and crowded by pedestrians, so they got much closer.

They are not troubled people in the first place, these things have nothing to do with them, and they don't want to get involved in right and wrong for no reason.

Ji Yanning and Rong Che were just about to leave, but Pearl held Ji Yanning's arm tightly: "Miss." ”

Seeing Pearl so surprised, Ji Yanning asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Pearl held Ji Yanning's arm, came back to her senses, looked at Ji Yanning, and said, "Miss, look at that person!"

Because Pearl was squeezed into the corner on the side, she saw the corpse that fell to the ground, and Rong Che had a body to block the crowd around Ji Yanning, so she was some distance from the crowd, hearing Pearl's words, Ji Yanning subconsciously took a few steps forward and looked in the direction of Pearl's gaze.

Rong Che was more than half a head taller than Ji Yanning, and his body was taller than everyone else, and he suddenly saw the person who Pearl said.

It was a man who had lost his breath, looked to be in his forties, and was not badly dressed.

When Ji Yanning saw that person, his pupils widened slightly.

This dead man is the same man she and Pearl met yesterday.

How did he die?

Seeing Ji Yanning's surprised look, Rong Che asked, "What's the matter, do you know?"

Ji Yanning said: "It's the person who held the lantern yesterday." ”

This morning, Pearl and Rong Che talked about yesterday's conflict, so when Ji Yanning said this, Rong Che naturally knew who it was.

He held Ji Yanning's hand tightly and escorted her out of the crowd directly.

Pearl hurriedly followed, and she whispered, "Why did a person who was fine yesterday suddenly die?"

Ji Yanning patted her on the shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of, it's none of your business if he's dead, it's just that I saw it yesterday." ”

Pearl listened to Ji Yanning's comfort, and also nodded, the dead are not afraid, but they feel a little embarrassed, after all, this man was still fierce to himself yesterday.

Ji Yanning comforted Pearl, but he was also uncomfortable in his heart.

Because of that dream.

"Jinhe. Ji Yanning said.

The crane walked behind her, and when there were many people, the Dark Guard would be closest to her.

"What do you command?" asked Jinhe.

Ji Yanning said: "Go and find out how the person died just now, and also check his identity, who has he been in contact with recently...... Also, there was a very six-sided lantern beside him, and the one with a corner was missing, and if he found it, he could bring it back. ”

Jinhe bowed his head, remembered everything Ji Yanning said, and then said: "My subordinates know." ”

After saying that, Jinhe turned around and walked in the direction of the crowd just now.

I don't know why, Ji Yanning always felt that she should find out about this matter.

Rong Che asked, "Do you think something is strange?"

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "It's just a feeling." ”

She rarely does things rashly, and unless it's a very urgent situation, she thinks twice, or she doesn't get involved in such strange things at all.

Rong Che said: "Since you think there is a problem with the lantern, why don't we go to the lantern shop that the shopkeeper said to see if it is the same as the man's lantern." ”

When Ji Yanning heard Rong Che say this, he felt that it was feasible.

So they asked the grandmother on the street where the lanterns were the best to sell.

The old grandmother said: "Of course, the lanterns sold in Yao Ji's lantern shop are the best, you can go further and go around two streets." ”

Ji Yanning nodded, and went to the Yao Ji lantern shop that the old grandmother said.

This shop is a little bigger than the other shops, and as soon as Ji Yanning walked in, he saw all kinds of lanterns.

The little servant stepped forward and asked, "What kind of lantern does the guest officer want?"

Ji Yanning looked indifferent and said, "I want the best lantern in your store." ”

Hearing Ji Yanning's words, the little guy was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "The good-looking lanterns in our store are all on the second floor, you go up and have a look, the price is very cheap." ”

Ji Yanning walked up the stairs and led people directly to the second floor.

There are also a lot of people on the second floor, and compared to the lanterns on the first floor, the one on the second floor seems to be more exquisite.

Seeing Ji Yanning come to the second floor, the eyes of the shopkeeper in the corner on the side immediately lit up.

He stepped forward and said, "I wonder what kind of lantern this girl wants to buy?"

"Nature is meant to be the best-looking. Ji Yanning's eyes turned around in this store, and he didn't seem to find the style he wanted, frowned slightly, and asked, "Are these styles all in your store?"

When the shopkeeper saw that she didn't seem to have found a liking, he said, "We have a booklet with lanterns of all kinds." ”

Seeing the booklet handed over by the shopkeeper, Ji Yanning sat down and slowly flipped through it.

The shopkeeper's gaze had been staring at Ji Yanning's face, and suddenly he felt a chill around him, he suddenly raised his head, and met Rong Che's gloomy gaze.

The gaze was fierce, as if it was about to tear him apart in the next moment.

The shopkeeper was stunned in his heart, and laughed, thinking that it should be a young couple, and it was indeed a bit too much for him to stare at other people's wives like this.

But I have to say that this little lady is really good-looking, looking at the entire Liangzhou City, he has never seen such a beautiful little lady.

This skin is fair and smooth, and at first glance she is a young lady from a rich family.

It's really hard to take your eyes off, but Rong Che's side exudes a cold air, he doesn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, so he can only behave.

Rong Che saw that this shopkeeper saw Ji Yanning's gaze, which made people extremely dissatisfied, he didn't mind teaching this lascivious shopkeeper a good lesson!

His woman is actually coveted by others!

Ji Yanning read all the booklets, but still didn't find the six-sided lantern he had seen before.

Could it be that the lantern wasn't made in this shop?

Isn't it said that only Yao Ji's lantern does the best?

She gently pushed the booklet to the table and looked at the shopkeeper, "Is that all there is to it?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect Ji Yanning to finish the thick booklet in three or two clicks, but he still didn't find the style he liked, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Little lady, if you like what style, just say it, we can customize it here." ”

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly.

She is not a fool, and she can naturally see that the shopkeeper is weird to herself.

She always knew that her face was good, but it didn't make people think like this, right?

Rong Che looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Your eyes, if you still want it, don't stare at my daughter-in-law." ”

His voice was a little cold, and he could hear it very unhappy.

The cold temperament exuded by his body made the shopkeeper tremble, and he immediately took a few steps back in fright, and then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I just want this little lady to be able to find the goods she wants." ”

The shopkeeper's words trembled a little, and he didn't understand why he trembled like this.

But the fear of Rong Che seems to be subconscious, the instinct of the body.

Ji Yanning looked at Rong Che, hooked his lips and chuckled, and his mood was much better.

"It's okay, I'll draw a rough pattern and see if you can make it. Ji Yanning said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded, and then let the pen and ink be delivered.

Ji Yanning's memory is excellent, and her painting skills are exquisite, and she quickly painted the lanterns she saw yesterday.

Pearl looked at the lantern on the painting and said happily, "Miss is really good at drawing, just like the real thing!"

Ji Yanning chuckled, dried the ink on the paper, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw the lantern, his face was obviously stiff, although it was only a momentary thing, but the sharp-eyed Rong Che and Ji Yanning both captured this detail.

"I wonder how the little lady knew about this lantern?" asked the shopkeeper.

Ji Yanning didn't hide it from him: "Yesterday, I saw someone on the street take one, and I thought it was very novel, so I also wanted one? Why, no?"

The shopkeeper said: "How could it not be, this lantern is made by our Yao Ji." It's just that the price is not ordinarily high. ”

Hearing that there was this lantern, Ji Yanning didn't think much about it, and said, "What's the price?"

The shopkeeper said, "Five thousand taels." ”

Hearing this price, Pearl couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Five thousand taels, why don't you grab it! It's just a broken lantern, how can it be so expensive!"

No wonder the man said that day that she couldn't afford to pay, five thousand taels of lanterns, she was really a trick.

The shopkeeper said: "You get what you pay for, we Yao Ji have always been fair in making a voice." ”
