Chapter 174: A Woman Disguises as a Man
Xu Lan hurriedly went to the side hall of the outer courtyard.
Master Ji is in his thirties, slightly thin, and has a goatee.
He hugged Xu Lanyin and whispered, "Adults want to ask Miss Xu to help......
Huang He is ostensibly the shopkeeper of the Longxing Inn, but his actual identity is the boss of this gang of criminals. He is a hard bone, and he can't pry his mouth open with all kinds of punishments. The others confessed, and these people confessed that Huang He had a big official in Hebei Province who covered him, and that official only contacted him......
Minhu hoped that Xu Lanyin could hypnotize Huang He and ask him to tell the big official behind him.
Xu Lan said embarrassedly, "I have already told Master Min that hypnosis does not work for everyone, especially for those who have strong willpower and reject hypnotists, let alone those who have strong willpower. I'll just have to give it a try. ”
Only she, the hypnotist, can work on anyone, because she will "listen to the heart". But even if she heard it and knew it, it was impossible for her to say it explicitly. If there is a conditional hint, it will be hinted, and if it can't be hinted, she can't help it.
Master Ji said that Master Min also meant to let Xu Lanyin try it, and he didn't force it. He also briefly introduced some of Huang He's situation, saying that for Xu Lanyin's safety, Huang He was only interrogated at night, and in addition to Minhu and Qin Che, Zhao Wu and Master Ji were present. In the evening, Zhao Wuhui personally came to pick her up and asked her to get ready and change into men's clothes.
After dinner, Xu Lanyin was pestered by the two children to walk around the yard a few times and tell a few more stories before coaxing them to sleep.
When she returned to the house, Xu Lanyin washed the makeup on her face, and took out a set of men's clothes and a pair of men's shoes, which she did privately after receiving the letter of appointment from the female master.
She first tightened her breasts with cotton cloth and then put on men's clothes. This is a navy blue straight jacket, without a belt, you can still see the slight bulge on the chest, and a beige half-arm is put on the outside. Half of his arms were loose and open, and he barely blocked his chest.
She combed her hair into a man's bun in the mirror, tied it with a hosta, and drew her eyebrows roughly. What disappointed her was that her facial features and posture could tell at a glance that she was a woman dressed as a man. If you blacken your face a little more, it might be better, but with a little attention, you can still see it.
Zhangqi was extremely puzzled when he saw such a master, and asked, "Girl, are you going to sing?" ”
Xu Lanyin smiled, "Where can I go to sing?" After a while, Zhao Wu will come and take me to the night market. ”
On the ninth day of today, there is a night market in Ningzhou Mansion.
Zhangqi looked yearning, "Girl, can you also bring the slave maid?" The slave maid also wants to go to the night market. Listen to the clear voice and the witty saying, the things in the night market are cheaper, and there are a lot of delicacies. ”
Xu Lanyin shook her head and frightened, "Silly girl, haven't you seen enough of the excitement of Longxing Inn?" There are so many traffickers now, specializing in stealing half-sized ladies like you. ”
The chess was trembling, and he didn't dare to force it anymore, and persuaded worriedly, "Don't go to that girl, let's play again during the day." You're so beautiful, people want to rob you even more. ”
Xu Lanyin said, "Zhao Wu's kung fu is good, I'm not afraid to have her by my side." He added, "He only has one pair of hands, and he can only protect me." Also, don't tell me about going to the night market, Lanting and Jia'er know that they are going to make a fuss. ”
At the end of the day, Qingfeng came to pick up Xu Lanyin.
Seeing Xu Lanyin like this, Qingfeng was stunned, but he didn't say anything very respectfully. When she arrived at the outer courtyard, Zhao Wu was waiting for her in front of the carriage.
The moonlight is like water, shining brightly on the earth. Zhao Wuyuan saw Qingfeng walking towards this side with a young man, and the young man was still taking square steps. He knew that that young man was Xu Lanyin.
When Xu Lanyin got closer, he still laughed. It's so handsome, where does she look like a man, I thought she was rough before, it's really eyeless.
Zhao Wushang took two steps forward and hugged his fists and smiled, "Brother Xu, please." ”
Xu Lanyin also smiled and hugged his fists, and said in a rough voice, "Brother Zhao, please." Then he got into the carriage first.
Zhao Wu then got into the car, sat next to him and kept looking at Xu Lanyin.
Xu Lanyin felt that his gaze swept his chest several times, so he grabbed his ear and twisted it a few times, and scolded quietly, "Bear child, where are you looking?" ”
Zhao Wu's eyes hurriedly looked at the roof of the car, he either looked at it on purpose, or he felt puzzled, why was it so much smaller there. But he said stiffly, "I didn't look at places that shouldn't be seen." ”
Xu Lanyin was still angry, twisted his ear a few more times and said, "You should marry a daughter-in-law, I'll go to the matchmaker to find you when I go home." Oh, there's no need to find a matchmaker, there are several families who come to my house to inquire about you, and look among those girls. I'm your sister, and I'm in charge for you. ”
Zhao Wu hurriedly begged, "Don't, beg my sister to let me go, I don't dare to look at it anymore." He cleverly pulled away the topic and whispered, "Sister can't do that, don't force it." ”
Xu Lanyin let go of his ears, sat up straight and said, "I'm just going to take a look, of course it's best, if not, I can't help it." He added, "I was afraid of seeing people torture and screaming, so I didn't even eat at night and dared to eat more, for fear of throwing up." ”
She has lived two lives, and she is still afraid of all kinds of torture, and she wants to vomit when she thinks about it. In my previous life, when I watched movies and television, I quickly closed my eyes when there was that kind of lens.
Zhao Wu said, "Don't be afraid, I won't let you see that scene." ”
The carriage arrived at the prison gate of the judge, and several people entered the door and went to the outermost wing.
The area of the house is very large, with more than 50 square meters. It was very bright, and not only the candles were lit, but also several torches were lit around it. Minhu and Qin Che, who were wearing official uniforms, sat on the chairs, and Master Ji and the two officials stood aside.
Seeing Xu Lanyin dressed up like this, Min Hu and Qin Che both laughed, and hugged Xu Lanyin very politely.
Xu Lanyin also bowed with his fists in his fists, and said with a smile, "The grass people have seen the two adults. ”
Minhu said with a smile, "There is a lot of work...... Xu Gongzi is gone. ”
Tang Che also smiled and said, "Gongzi Xu is talented, and this official can be regarded as knowledgeable." ”
Tang Che's smile was elegant and gentle, like a respectable elder. Maybe that smile is a little similar to Xu Lanting, and that inexplicable good feeling surged into Xu Lanyin's heart again. Xu Lanyin really wanted to listen to his voice and talk to him, but unfortunately now is not the time.
Xu Lanyin smiled, "The two adults are polite. Whether it can help this time is not certain. ”
Minhu nodded and said, "I don't force this." Then he asked, "What else does Gongzi Xu command?" ”
Xu Lanyin said, "Put out all the torches, and leave a lamp is enough." ”
The torches and extra candles were extinguished, and the room was immediately darkened. Min Hu waved his hand, and the official went out to take the prisoner.
After a few moments, they walked in with a man on his back and tied him up in a chair.
This man is the shopkeeper of Longxing Inn, Huang Shopkeeper.
