Chapter 16: Uninvited Guests
Isn't it simple? Hongdou also thinks that this person is not simple, not simple because she let her family's smart and wise young lady be deceived of ten cents in vain.
Seeing that she was about to go out of the city gate if she went any further, Hongdou rolled her eyelids, the words were churning in her mouth, and she couldn't hold it anymore after holding it all the way.
A carriage entered through the city gates, and as they passed, muddy water splashed on the skirt that had just been wrung out.
"Whose carriage? How do you see the road? Don't you say a word when you splash people? The anger that had been held back all the way finally found a breakthrough, and the red bean scolded loudly.
I don't know if her scolding worked, but the carriage really stopped.
Hongdou was startled, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw a person walking down from the carriage and running towards them happily.
"Miss Qiao, meet again!"
The young man with red lips and white teeth, and a face like a crown of jade, didn't look like a wicked person, but he just looked.
The carriage was none other than Li Chen, who was "quite famous" in Jinling City.
I came back to Xuanzhen Temple once, and was taken away by Qiao Mo, and I didn't know what Qiao Mo did in private, in short, I didn't see this Li Chen go up the mountain to find her again.
Hongdou couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw this, and he was even more sure that he had spent ten yuan of unjust money: Go east, let alone find a way, this is a trouble!
"Miss Qiao," Li Chen happily ran to her side and said, "The ...... surnamed Qiao" Halfway through the words, he remembered that Qiao Ran was also surnamed Qiao, so he hurriedly said, "Then the boss of the Qiao family went to my house to complain, and he made trouble for me everywhere, so that I can't go up the mountain to find you, how are you doing lately?" ”
It's no wonder to see you get better! Red Bean snorted coldly.
Compared with the obvious disgust and impatience of the little girl Hongdou, Qiao Ran didn't have much reaction, and only nodded at him when she heard the words, and said, "Young Master Li, what about you?" ”
Black...... Li Gongzi? This title made Li Chen excited, looking at the face opposite that made him obsessed, and confessed all his thoughts, "Recently, there is a girl like jade in Qingfeng Building, people are like their names, such as flowers and jade, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all of them are fine, if you want to see her, you have to line up, in a few days it will be my turn to have a number plate, Miss Qiao wants to go together?" ”
Hongdou was stunned when he heard this: I'm afraid this person is not stupid! Do you want to prostitute yourself and invite the lady to go with you?
"Okay."
The woman's response made Hongdou even more surprised and almost bit her tongue, and she couldn't help but wonder if her own young lady was also infected with some stupid disease by this fool.
This is not good, Hongdou was in a hurry, and was about to speak, but heard Qiao Ran speak again: "It's just a favor, I don't know if Gongzi Li is willing to help me?" ”
The beauties begged each other, Li Chen immediately nodded, and without even asking, he patted his chest and promised: "Miss Qiao's words, even if you go to the soup and fire, you will not hesitate." ”
"I'm going to take a trip to the Xuanzhen Temple." She said.
The three words of Xuan Zhenguan suddenly woke up Li Chen, who saw the beauty and was hot-headed, and when he saw the sad appearance of the girl opposite, he suddenly understood, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes: "Miss Qiao is really a kind-hearted person." ”
The situation of Xuan Zhenguan may not be clear to others, but the Li family is clear, especially his third brother who looked at him and made him worry was on the spot. I heard that the majestic Su Xun died, and the Taoist aunt of this Taoist temple estimated that he would be buried with him. Although those Dao aunts are not very good, they can't get into his eyes, and he doesn't have such a heavy taste What do he think about those Dao aunts who are about to be his mother at an age, but in the end, they are all women, Li Chen still feels a little regretful.
Miss Qiao has been taken care of by those Dao aunts for a while, so I can't bear it! Sure enough, people are beautiful and kind, and they are born from their hearts, Li Chen thought beautifully.
That look almost leaked the emotions in his heart, and Qiao Ran didn't interrupt his brain, just let him guess.
"Okay." After thinking for a while, Li Chen reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and then gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, "It's just that I want to wronged Miss Qiao to pretend to be my little girl." ”
Qiao Ran nodded and glanced at the carriage on the side, which was also stained with the five-colored mud planted on the mountain road, which showed that it had just come down from the mountain. Li Chen himself is a brocade robe, and there is a huge pearl on the crown of his hair. Dressed up like Jia Baoyu in such a grand manner, it looks like going to yesterday's banquet, and now it has just come out.
Anyway, the "Li Baoyu" in front of her is surnamed Li, and she has no intention of caring about their brother, father-son relationship, just relying on this surname, it is enough to take her in.
Although Li Chen is a gentleman, he is also a very neat and neat gentleman, which can be seen from the fact that after he met her, he ran up the mountain to look for her the next day.
After making a decision, Li Chen arranged for the little maid to go back to Loei to get clothes, and decided to take her to Xuanzhen Temple before noon.
……
"Su Xun has a lot of punch wounds on his body," Lord Zhen walked through the flower and tree corridor of Xuanzhen Temple with a few local officials in Jinling, and walked in the direction of the main hall, "Since the assassin brought a knife and the blade was not broken, wouldn't it be faster to use a knife to kill someone?" Why use your fists? Apparently the murderer is someone else! ”
Su Xun's identity is special, and the autopsy results naturally cannot be sloppy, although the specific autopsy results are not yet known, but just such a hurried glance is enough to judge that Su Xun's death is unusual.
Because of Su Xun's death, the current officials can almost be divided into two factions: the officials in Beijing and their local officials, which faction finds the cause of Su Xun's death first, and which faction gets the first opportunity.
Therefore, they left their work there to be examined and waited for the results, but they themselves came to the main hall. In addition to the guests invited to last night's banquet, the Dao Gu in the temple is also an important suspect, and what's more, they are more familiar with the Xuanzhen Temple, so Lord Zhen brought someone over to interrogate.
The buzzing bell rang at this moment, and the faces of several adults immediately sank.
"What's going on with this group of Dao Aunts? At this time, do you still have the heart to ring the bell? ”
It's too long!
A group of officials strode towards this side of the hall, and seeing that the official was still guarding the door of the hall, an adult immediately said, "Why don't you take a good look at them?" What bell to ring at this time? Death knell? ”
This was not a good word, but the official only saluted them, and then shook his head and pointed in the direction of the hall.
A few adults didn't know why, so they walked a few steps, but they saw those Dao Gu sitting honestly on the futon in the hall, and a person stood with his back to them in the middle of the main hall. There were also two people standing next to the bronze bell in the corner, and it should have been these two people who rang the bell, and when they saw them coming, the two of them immediately walked here.
Where did these three people come from? How did you put these three people in? The crowd was a little puzzled.
The two people who came over looked no more than weak in age, their faces were delicate and handsome, they were dressed in ordinary robes, and only the exquisite embroidery on the cuffs and corners of the clothes faintly showed that the identities of these three people were not simple.
"Xie Chengze."
"Xu Hexiu."
The two young men in front of him looked kind, and even raised their hands with a smile, but as soon as these two names came out, the faces of the Jinling officials were stunned.
The surname is Xie, and the surname is Xu.
Chenjun Xie's family, that is the same as the Qinghe Cui family, Langya Wang family has changed the dynasty and never falls, and now the old lady of the Xie family is a first-class captain in the court.
Although Xie Chengze was not wearing an official robe, Zhen Shiyuan, the waist card of Dali Temple on his waist with Xu Hexiu, was very familiar.
In comparison, the surname Xu is not as profound as the Xie family, but today's Taifu Xu Changshan should be the elder of his clan, as a generation of famous Confucianism, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Changshan is the head of Confucianism in the world.
Zhen Shiyuan raised his hand towards them, but he didn't dare to snub these two people seriously, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: he had been away from Dali Temple for a few years, but the face of Jingzhong had changed again and again.
There is a waist card of Dali Temple, no wonder the official is almost stopped. The officials came back to their senses and turned their eyes to the person who had their backs to them, just looking at their backs and postures, they should be no different in age from Xie Chengze, Xu and Xiu.
This is estimated to be after which famous family in Beijing!
Three cigarette smokes rose, and the man seemed to be obsessed with three incense sticks. And what made him fascinated was a clay statue directly opposite him.
The statue is ...... Zhang Tianshi, who exorcises evil spirits and exorcizes demons.
