Chapter 336: The Kou Family's Unjust Death
Qingfeng had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, so as soon as these people arrived, Qingfeng immediately brought them to the courtyard of the merchants in the southern city.
Baiyuan City is very quiet today, just when it is time to turn the lights, everyone in every household is only on for a while, and then close the door and go to sleep.
Because I saw the appearance of the Xuanyi people during the day, I guessed that something was wrong in the city. But they didn't dare to inquire, they didn't dare to spread the rumors, they all wanted to know what was going on, so they all lay on the bed, but they listened with their eyes wide open and their ears wide open.
But all I could hear was the sound of galloping horses' hooves.
And in the courtyard of the merchants in the southern city, a group of more than a dozen horses stopped. Qingfeng went to help a tall jujube horse, and a gray-haired old man dismounted.
Don't say he's an old man, but the action of getting off the horse is very neat. When they got off the horse, they also stood straight, and the others got off the horse and stood behind the old man.
"Where's your master? What did you tell me to do? ”
"Go back to the old marquis, please inside."
Qingfeng bowed and asked the old marquis to go into the house. While taking a step back, he said:
"Old Marquis, a corpse of more than ten years old was found here, although it had become dry bones, but it was wearing the clothes of the herald of the border city back then. On his body, he still carried a thing, and the master saw that thing, so he asked the little one to pass the word and invite the old marquis to come here. ”
The old marquis, who was originally walking in a hurry, paused when he heard Qingfeng say this. The tiger stared at him and said:
"You mean, it's a herald?"
"I can't be sure of this, but what he's wearing is indeed a herald's stuff."
"Where?"
"Old Marquis, please!"
Qing Shui stood in front of the door of the study courtyard and saw that the old marquis had arrived. He turned around and ran inside to report the news.
Murong Qing and Ouyang Peng came out with Lord Hu, Lord Lu and others. Greet the old marquis.
"Grandfather! You've arrived. You come and see this. ”
Others greeted him as a salute, but Murong Qing was in a hurry to pull his grandfather to see the thing he found.
The old marquis waved his hand, which was regarded as exempting everyone from saluting, and then hurriedly followed Murong Qing to a small courtyard inside.
Shang Ruonan didn't stay here, but went back to the backyard to help his mother pack up her things, because he had been here for a few days and bought a lot of things, so he had to add two more carriages to move away.
The eldest sister first moved her mother and Xiaoba's things over. Then the old five, the sixth, and the seventh ones were also moved over, and the last few big ones were moved.
In this way, the mother and a few small ones can move over first and tidy up first, so that the mother can get a better rest. And Shang Nianlan and Shang Xianglan have been helping to move in the backyard, busy from morning to evening. The last carriage was some miscellaneous items in the yard, which were also loaded into the carriage, and there was only one carriage left to pretend to be Nianlan and Xianglan and Ruonan and their girls.
Fortunately, the newly moved yard is not far away, and it doesn't take much time for the carriage to run back and forth a few more times, when Shang Ruonan was about to get into the carriage, the breeze came, and said:
"Fourth Miss, Master Hou, please come over for a while."
"Huh? It's so late, and they haven't rested yet, huh? ”
Originally, there were still some things that I wanted to move tomorrow, but Shang Nianlan said that she would simply not do anything and move out together. I've moved it over and I'll tidy it up tomorrow. If you sleep tonight and wake up later tomorrow, you will have to tidy up that side, so as not to run on both sides.
Thinking about it, the sisters called the upper and lower people again and moved everything that was to be moved. In the end, Shang Nianlan and Shang Ruonan checked together, and there was nothing superfluous, just the outer shell of a set of molds that was still stuck on the wall. Anyway, the darkroom will be dismantled, and it can be taken out after it is finally dismantled.
Therefore, the sisters moved to the end, and it was almost the end of the day. It's not a good time to sleep!
Qingfeng reluctantly stepped forward and said:
"The old marquis wants to see you!"
"Ahh
I've been busy today, I can be regarded as unkempt now, and I'm wearing men's clothes, how to meet the old marquis.
Watching Shang Ruonan look at his body, Qingfeng smiled bitterly and said:
"Don't worry, first, the old marquis doesn't care, and second, it's more late at night."
Shang Ruonan also knew that he didn't have time to worry about it. Outside, stretching out your head and shrinking your head is still a knife, you have to go and see it. This is the old man who is coming, it is etiquette to go to see him, this old man calls, and if he doesn't go, then he is wrong.
Shang Ruonan took the red clothes and the green clothes to the study together. Now that the study has also been cleaned up a little, the old marquis Kou is sitting upright. Murong Qing and the others all stood on both sides, and Shang Ruonan first followed Qingfeng and walked inside.
As soon as one foot stepped through the door, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly retracted his foot and took a few steps back. I should wait for someone to report it before I go in.
Moreover, the people in that room, except for Murong Qing, were all wearing a suit of armor. I felt like I was on trial in the past.
Makes yourself nervous. So I hurriedly retreated.
But Shang Ruonan didn't know that all her things fell into the eyes of the shrewd old man sitting on the top seat, and the old man twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't move.
"Back to the old marquis, the servant invited the fourth young lady."
"Huh?"
The one who says yes is one of the two examples. This sound is because everyone saw a little kid who came in after Qingfeng just now and retreated, it was obviously a boy, why did you say it was a fourth lady.
Wait a minute, Miss Four? Isn't it the fiancée that Murong Xiaohou said just now?
Everyone is a little stunned. glanced at each other, and then looked at Murong Qing, but I didn't expect that the iceberg-faced Murong Xiaohou was looking at the door with a smile on his face, moving small steps, as if he was struggling with whether to enter, or whether to regret quitting the little man who ran away.
Shang Ruonan is really thinking about whether he regrets quitting now.
But when the tangled heart saw Murong Qing's smiling face, Shang Ruonan secretly gritted his teeth. Forget it, Murong Houye is not worried about being laughed at, what are you afraid of? Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not afraid of the many soldiers here.
So I took the hell, adjusted my breathing, and walked in. boldly stood in the middle of the room and saluted the old marquis sitting on the top seat:
"Shang Ruonan knocked to see the old marquis."
He clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and felt that it was not right, and put his hand to his side to perform a women's salute, and felt that he was wearing men's clothes, and it was a bit nondescript to do this action, so he immediately knelt down again.
However, although her series of actions can be regarded as a quick reaction, in the eyes of others, it is also a feeling of being in a hurry.
The few people standing on the side secretly bit their lipes, lowered their heads, and didn't laugh.
