Chapter 58: Assassination

"If the villain dares to act under the nose of the Son of Heaven, it is too rampant, and it is not too much to punish the nine clans." Qingluan laughed.

Stood up and asked, "Brother Boyan, do you want to taste the Lantern Festival?" Why don't you let the store cook another bowl? ”

Xiao Boyan walked over and sat down at the table, "No need, I'll just taste it." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the soup spoon in Qingluan's bowl and scooped one and ate it.

Qingluan looked at him for a while, then looked at Yue Wuxian, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Just when Xiao Boyan was hesitating whether to eat another one, a guard suddenly ran over and whispered something in his ear.

Xiao Boyan's face changed slightly, and he immediately stood up, at this time, several women from the family dressed in brocade rushed over, one of the women had a slightly messy bun, and when she saw him, she cried "Brother Boyan......

Qingluan, who was standing aside, watched Fang Qingru throw herself into Xiao Boyan's arms with cold eyes, crying, "Brother, he ...... He was murdered by gangsters...... Woohoo......"

It turned out that Na Fang Xiao was wandering around with the beautiful woman all the way, and came to a place where he was juggling, only to listen to the noise of gongs and drums in the crowd, but he was performing the repertoire of the Beng Immortal Opera Zhou Gong, and there was a monkey wearing a big red shoulder, turning his head on the field.

The young man who played the clam fairy was dressed in a colorful skirt, with bewitching makeup on his face, and his arms were supporting two large colored mussel shells, and he was dancing in the audience.

The boat man with a fake beard on his mouth stood in the canopy covered with silk flowers, hung a silk cloth around his neck and shoulders to hang the hull of the boat, and his hands grasped the hull surrounded by blue silk cloth and swayed back and forth, following the mussel fairy while dancing and chasing, singing a small tune in his mouth, making funny facial expressions.

After the little monkey had flipped over a few times, he was led by a girl and begged for a reward from the surrounding visitors.

There were a lot of onlookers around, and Fang Xiao was only followed by a small servant, and it took a lot of effort for them to squeeze into the crowd.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and the flow of people crowded around Fang Xiao and the beauty.

Fang Xiao's body suddenly stiffened when he hugged the beauty, and when he looked back, he only saw that there were all white faces behind him, and many of them were wearing masks.

His mouth opened, but he didn't speak, and then his body went limp.

"Xiao Lang, what's wrong with you?" The beauty wanted to pick up Fang Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, but touched the sticky and bright red blood on her hands.

"Ahh A high-pitched scream rang out, and the crowd crowded again.

"Murder! Help me! The beauty was frightened, and her blood-stained hands trembled and screamed.

The crowd ducked, revealing the man lying in a pool of blood, with a dagger stuck in the back of his heart, reaching the handle.

……

"Have you caught the assailant?" Xiao Boyan grabbed Fang Qingru's shoulders and asked urgently.

"Woo...... No. Fang Qingru cried and fell into the man's arms.

"How do those people in Jingzhao Mansion do things!" Xiao Boyan shouted angrily.

"Are the people from Wuhou Shop present?" He then asked.

"Woo...... I don't know ......."

Xiao Boyan closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice, "You go back to the house with the guards first, and I'll go to the scene to see." ”

Fang Qingru clung to his shirt and cried, "Brother Boyan, I'm afraid...... You, don't go...... My brother has been admitted to the hospital. ”

Xiao Boyan patted her on the back and said softly, "Then I'll send you home first." ”

Qingluan watched the scene expressionlessly for a while, then turned his gaze back to meet Yue Wuwu's gaze.

Yue Wuxian's eyes were full of black mist, and he couldn't see what emotions were hidden inside.

"Jianing, I'll send Qingru home, you can go with me." Xiao Boyan looked at Qingluan and said, "There is an injury incident in the market, Jingzhao Mansion must ban this street, it is inconvenient for you to stay here." ”

Qingluan said weakly, "However, Chaoyang said that he would come back here, so let me wait here." ”

"Chaoyang must have been escorted back by the guards at this time, you are not safe here."

"I have a few guards by my side." Qingluan pointed to the four guards and Yuzhu Ziyu who were standing not far away, "Just have them, if you are worried about Miss Fang, take her away first." ”

Xiao Boyan frowned, looked down at Fang Qingru who was sobbing in his arms, couldn't help but be irritable, raised his eyes and scolded Qingluan, "Why are you so disobedient, in case of a riot, what can your guards do?" ”

Qingluan was full of grievances, and looked back at Yue Wuxian, "Brother Wuxian, are you here to accompany me?" She looked worried, "Chaoyang hasn't come back yet, I can't leave." ”

Yue Wuxian said to Xiao Boyan: "Brother Boyan, you go first, and I will be responsible for sending the county lord of Jianing back to his house safely." ”

Xiao Boyan twisted his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then nodded, "In this case, please ask Brother Yue." ”

After speaking, he took the sobbing Fang Qingru away with one hand.

Among the several women behind Fang Qingru, one of them looked back at the county lord of Jianing in surprise, and then looked at Fang Qingru with disdain on his face.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Qingluan's mouth, and as he watched the group walk away, Fang turned to look at Yue Wuxian, with a sad expression, "Brother Wuxian, am I not as important as Miss Fang, so I was abandoned by him." ”

Yue Wuxian coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Aman, in fact, Xiao Hou also has difficulties. ”

"What's so hard about him? Hurt brother, do you also think that Ah Man is annoying, so ...... That's why he did this to me? Qingluan was about to cry, and her eyes began to redden.

"How can anyone be bored with Aman, you...... Don't be sad, listen to me," Yue Wushu was a little at a loss, raised his hand to wipe the tears of the sad little girl, hesitated and put it back,

"Actually, it's not uncommon for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and he may want Miss Nafang to enter the house in the future...... So, you don't have to worry too much about ......"

Yue Wuxian instantly felt that his comforting words seemed to be a little inappropriate, and sure enough, this delicate woman began to cry silently.

"Hey, don't cry......"

He had never comforted a lost girl, and he didn't know how to make her happy, so he didn't feel in a hurry, rolled up his sleeves and wiped her tears, and coaxed, "That Xiao Hou is not a thing, I'll teach him a lesson to be angry for you." ”

Qingluan curled the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a pair of wet eyes, looking incomprehensible, "Really? ”

Yue was unharmed......

“…… It's true. Yue Wuxian coughed and turned his gaze to the colored lantern next to him.

At this time, a guard from the Xianwang Mansion ran over, "County Lord, my county lord asked the villain to tell you that something happened on South Street, she has already returned to the mansion with the prince, and Miss Li has also been sent back to the mansion, so you don't have to wait for them here." ”

"Do you know what's going on?" Qingluan asked.

The guards "returned to the county lord, it was a life lawsuit on South Street, someone stabbed Mrs. Fang's sister-in-law to death with a weapon, and my guard is looking for the murderer everywhere, and now South Street has been banned." ”

Qingluan's face was silent, frowning and muttering, "Who is so bold." ”

The guard: "County Lord, I'm afraid this place will also be banned, so you better go back to the house first." ”

As he was talking, several servants of Wuhoupu came over, banging on a gong in their hands and shouting, "Curfew!" Curfew! The vendors hurriedly packed up and went back to the workshop! The offender is arrested for the same crime as the murderer! ”

For a while, the vendors complained bitterly, hurriedly blew out the lanterns on the wooden shelves, and picked up the goods on the stalls.

The old husband and wife at the dumpling stall also sighed, extinguished the firewood at the bottom of the stove, cleaned up the table, table, and stool, scooped a pot of hot soup into a jar, and moved the stove sundries to a board cart, ready to be pulled back to the market.
