Chapter 80: The Dove Occupies the Magpie's Nest (4000)
After Sima Jingling heard the cries of pain in the backyard, she didn't have any anxious emotions on her face, but instead knelt down quite calmly and waited quietly for Qiulan to come out.
After a while, I saw Qiulan carrying the collar of the Steward Zhu and bringing him out.
Steward Zhu is very embarrassed now, his clothes are a little messy, and his face is red, which makes people look so pitiful.
Seeing this, Sima Jingling glanced at Qiu Lan, but saw Qiu Lan shrug her shoulders and signaled that she had not done anything to Steward Zhu. Sima Jingling now knows that this Zhu steward doesn't know where she fell because of her weak heart.
She seemed to be full of concern and asked, "What's wrong with Steward Zhu, why are you so disheartened?" ”
Steward Zhu covered his face, and his mouth was still gasping because of the pain.
After listening to Sima Jingling's words, his face showed obvious anger, and he said angrily to Sima Jingling: "What's wrong with me, don't you know in your hearts? If it weren't for the fact that your people suddenly walked in without saying hello, how could this happen to me!
You, I tell you, you do this because you don't want me to save your husband! ”
Because of the injury on his face, Steward Zhu couldn't speak very clearly when he spoke, so he was still a little vague when he spoke, as if he was holding something in his mouth.
But even so, Sima Jingling still understood what Steward Zhu wanted to express.
Sima Jingling smiled and said, "Why should Steward Zhu be angry, after all, you are not the real master here, how can you be the master of this place?" I'm doing this just to help you understand the situation as soon as possible, so that we don't have to engage in some pointless fights. ”
Steward Zhu's originally angry face suddenly stiffened, and he wanted to think about some righteous and awe-inspiring accusations, but he was suddenly stuck in his throat and couldn't come out smoothly.
His eyes glanced left and right, and there was suddenly a trace of weakness on his face, but he still stiffened his neck and insisted: "I don't know what you're doing, I've been running this shop for decades, you're not mine, that's just a joke!" ”
"Is it a joke, shouldn't you know better about Steward Zhu?" Sima Jingling slowly stood up and walked slowly in front of Steward Zhu step by step,
"Actually, it's strange, this place is like a medicine shop everywhere, and there are indeed a lot of medicinal materials used for camouflage, and even the spiritual treasure exists, which can be said to be very much like a medicine shop. However, it is really curious that a pharmacy is so clean that there is no trace of the most basic medicinal fragrance and boiling medicine.
Steward Zhu, since you can see a doctor here and have a lot of medicinal materials, why is there no trace of the existence of the medicine itself? ”
After Steward Zhu listened to Sima Jingling's words, a drop of cold sweat suddenly fell on his forehead.
He still wanted to argue with himself, they were just a pharmacy here, and they didn't make a living by treating diseases and saving people like the medical hall, so naturally they wouldn't boil medicine often.
Besides, their daily trading volume of medicinal materials here is very large, and the medicinal materials cannot be hoarded here at all, and if they stay for a long time, there will naturally be no medicinal fragrance, which is really not unusual.
Sima Jingling nodded after hearing this, as if she was agreeing with Steward Zhu's words.
But she frowned, as if she had encountered something extremely difficult to understand, and asked Steward Zhu: "Steward Zhu does have some truth, but I still don't know anything here."
If it's really just a pharmacy that sells medicinal herbs, then what is it doing with so many weapons hidden here? ”
Steward Zhu's face immediately changed after hearing this, and he looked straight at Sima Jingling.
His eyes did not have the sleekness of the first meeting, nor the shrewdness of the rolling of his eyes, but slowly revealed a trace of ruthlessness and threat, even if there was no resemblance to the appearance when they first met
He tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, seemed to tilt his head, and asked with a seemingly plain but profound question: "Yes, my old Zhu, why don't you know anything." My ordinary and inconspicuous pharmacy is still with some weapons.
This guest, are you a little too imaginary? ”
"Of course, you can deny it to the end." Sima Jingling didn't care about Steward Zhu's extreme denial, she looked at Steward Zhu at eye level, as if she was looking at Steward Zhu and as if she hadn't seen anyone, just put it in one place so calmly and casually,
"It's just that if I ask Rong to reveal something, Han Li, who was driven out of the caravan, recuperates from his injuries here, you, your medicine shop, what will happen?
Oh, by the way, presumably a smart local like Steward Zhu should know better than me, a foreigner, what kind of character these people in Beiao are, and of course they will better understand the forces entangled in Beiao now.
It didn't matter if Han Li had really appeared here with you, it didn't matter if he had recuperated from his injuries, what mattered was that it was enough to have Han Li, a special person, and this suspicion. ”
Steward Zhu was silent, he looked at Sima Jingling fixedly, knowing that Sima Jingling was telling the truth.
Although he could completely bury all traces of this place before anyone came here, it was really a very troublesome thing for him and the forces behind him.
Besides, at this time, they need to accumulate a lot.
If they had wasted a lot here, then when they wanted to welcome the people back to Beiao, the final result would probably not be what they had imagined.
Steward Zhu lowered his head and restrained the expression on his face, and said to Sima Jingling: "Who are you and what is the purpose of coming here?" ”
Sima Jingling smiled at this time, and said to Steward Zhu: "Actually, we didn't have any purpose, we just wanted to get to the bottom of this big capital, so as to lay the foundation for a certain mattress in the future." But I happened to see an acquaintance, and I happened to see the strangeness of your pharmacy, so I came to try it.
Well, if there is any offense just now, please forgive me. After all, you are too vigilant to directly oppose you, how can you know the true attitude of your heart? ”
Steward Zhu had an incredible idea in his heart, and when he was about to pop up, he saw Sima Jingling's bright but meaningful eyes.
He seemed to understand something, and the excitement and excitement in his heart gradually filled his entire chest, agitating the blood flow throughout his body.
He put his fiery gaze directly on Ah Pu next to Sima Jingling, who had not been paying attention to him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were full of tears, hiding his emotions, and after taking a few deep glances at Ah Pu, he lowered his head again, signaling to accept Sima Jingling's final gesture of cooperation.
Sima Jingling was very grateful to this Rao Shangdao, so that the two of them did not come to the point of really fighting with real knives and guns before they understood Pets's identity and intentions.
It's another degree of consummation.
They have completed the cooperation and interaction here without danger, and the whole atmosphere seems to be harmonious again, and even the surrounding area faintly exudes an extremely pleasant atmosphere, which makes people unconsciously happy
On the other hand, however, it is not so easy.
Night Crow and Night Weng were instructed by Sima Jingling, so they immediately went to pick the most suitable place and began to organize street performances.
Night Raven and Night Wing are naturally not much, even in the face of the current situation, they are not panicked at all, they still follow their previous plan, and they are still very confident in their disguise.
While spreading the tragic situation of their two brothers, they also tried to play the role of each of the people who struggled to live.
If they encounter a noble reward, the two will pretend to inadvertently expose the golden hairpin, so as to seduce some people with bad intentions.
Whether these people are secretly following them, wanting to get it directly from them or robbing it, or they want to negotiate with them harmoniously and use money to buy this golden hairpin, Night Crow and Night Weng have shown a special attitude towards it, which makes everyone very concerned about the origin of this golden hairpin.
It stands to reason that according to this development, the owner of the golden hairpin will naturally appear soon, and even if he will not appear in public, he will naturally leave some clues for the night crow and the night man.
However, until now, no one suspected of being the master of the golden hairpin has appeared.
The two Rao processes, Night Raven and Night Weng, seem to have come to a standstill.
However, it was at such a time that suddenly a person came directly to the two of them.
The man looked a little anxious, and after finding them, he asked directly, "Where did you get this golden hairpin?" Could it be that you are trying to disadvantage Lady Lynn? ”
The Night Raven and the Night Wong didn't know what this person was, but judging by his state, he was probably familiar with the owner of the golden hairpin they were looking for.
However, this Rao was a little emotional, and it looked as if he was about to drag them to report to the official.
Night Crow and Night Weng have attracted some attention because of these things, but if they can not be involved with the official government of the Northern Proud Country, it will naturally not be related to them.
So, they tried their best to appease this Rao's emotions, and by the way, they asked from this Rao's mouth what kind of person Mrs. Lin was, and whether it was the owner of the golden hairpin they were looking for.
So the night crow explained to the man, "We have obtained this golden hairpin from the hands of a nobleman. That noble man was my brother who met his eyes, and gave him one of these golden hairpins, so that with this golden hairpin, I could find someone who could cure my brother's old throat disease.
This noble man also has a favor he left before, even if he can't help my brother to speak, he can make his piano skills go to the next level.
He didn't tell us how to find the owner of the golden hairpin, but we thought that whether he was in the countryside or hidden in the city, we would have to live first. So, we came up with this one to make a living and find a living at the same time.
Childe, do you know the owner of this golden hairpin? Can you introduce us to the two brothers? ”
The man in front of Night Raven and Night Weng slowly calmed down after listening to Night Crow's words, but the expression on his face seemed to be a little more desperate.
He laughed desolately, and said to the Night Raven and the Night Wing, "You want to see her, and I also want to know where she is now, and whether there will be any danger." ”
The Night Raven and the Night Wing had an ominous blessing
Before they could do something about this premonition, they heard the man directly drop a bombshell news,
"Lady Lin, the owner of this golden hairpin, has disappeared for five years. I think I know who that noble man of yours is. Although, with his face, Mrs. Lin will not refuse to treat your brother's throat, and may even guide your brother to play the piano.
But now, nothing is possible. ”
Night Raven couldn't help but frown, this was really not very good news for him.
The purpose of their search for this golden hairpin lord was not to save the throat of the so-called younger brother "Ye Weng", but to find out which force the owner of this golden hairpin has anything to do with the current situation in the Northern Proud Country, and what kind of person is behind her.
But judging from the current results, it seems that they first want to work with this person to rescue the owner of the golden hairpin, and then it is possible to achieve their original set of goals. Otherwise, don't go to the bottom, they may not even see Rao, so they cut off this clue.
After the two glanced at each other, they comforted the man in front of them: "Childe, you don't have to be like this, now is not necessarily the worst outcome." If you don't dislike it, we can help too. With our joint efforts, we will definitely be able to obtain the whereabouts of Linfurao, and we will not let her be harmed! ”
The man looked at the two of them and said to them, "What can you do?" If you could know the whereabouts of Lin Fu Rao, these should have been in front of Lin Fu Rao a long time ago, right? But what about the results now? ”
Night Raven shook his head very seriously and retorted, "Childe, what you said is not right, the reason why we have gained nothing is because we don't know any clues about Lin Furao, that is, we are like two headless flies, and we don't know where to start.
But now that we have you, we must know something better than anyone we know anything about. At least you know what Lynfrao looks like or what she looks like. As long as we have these things, we will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of Linfrao. ”
