Chapter 188: Finding Someone
Time froze, and Bai Ling sat still, motionless, like a statue.
It wasn't until it became noisy again behind her, and someone's shadow fell on her, that Bai Ling raised his head and saw that the young man and the old woman who had just left with the palace people had returned.
The young man had an extra burden on his body, which he tied in his arms, and a hand kept covering it.
"Mother, you wait here for a while, I'll call the car to pull people." The man said softly.
"Eh," the old woman still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little choked, "the boss's car will do, let them bring another mat and roll up the ......"
"Yes, yes."
The voices of the two stopped abruptly - they both saw Bai Ling sitting next to Bao Yuan at this moment, and Bai Ling was also looking up at them.
"Are you ......?" There was a little alarm on the man's face.
"I'm a friend of Bao Yuan." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "I heard that something happened to her, so let's take a look." β
Hearing Bai Ling call his sister "Bao Yuan", the vigilance on the man's face became even heavier, "Friend? Friends in Baihuaya or where are the friends? β
Bai Ling lowered her eyes and did not answer, she looked at the ground at the feet of the man and the old woman, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what you plan for the future of Bao Yuan?" β
"It's ...... future," the man frowned and laughed, "Who are you, do you care?" β
"If your family is not rich, you can leave it to me." Bai Ling replied.
Only then did the mother and son look at Bai Lingβalthough the clothes on her body were very plain, they could see that the material was not ordinary coarse cloth clothes.
The man's eyes moved to Bai Ling's heart, but unfortunately the clothes Bai Ling was wearing today were not off-the-shoulder, and he couldn't tell if Bai Ling was a girl in Baihuaya for a while. He also took a few steps forward and squatted down, with a slight flirtatious smile on his face, "I can't see it, my sister is here, and she has made rich friends." β
Boling did not answer.
"I see that your little girl is quite marked, you are the one, the one...... Key number? I've heard that they've been trying to drag my sister over there to do something, but my sister won't. The man whispered, "You are little sisters?" β
Bai Ling raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him.
Seeing that Bai Ling had not answered, the man already had a bottom in his heart, he reached out to Bai Ling's chest, wanting to open her collar to see if there was a tattoo under her left shoulder, but before his hand touched Bai Ling's coat, someone grabbed his back collar and lifted him up.
"Don't move your hands or feet!"
A familiar voice cameβit was Chen Xin.
Chen Xin casually threw aside the young man who looked a little ruffian.
"His Royal Highness." Bai Ling bowed his head and saluted.
Chen Xin glanced at Bai Ling and the corpse lying flat in front of her, and sighed lightly.
"No need to be polite. I just went to Lanzihao to look for you, and the people inside said that you came to the south of the flower lane, so I followed. β
The man who was thrown away on the side had already stood up again with the help of his mother, "What are you doing!?" My sister's bones are not cold, are you flirting here? β
"Clean your mouth!" Chen Xin reprimanded.
However, the man's waist seemed to harden suddenly, "What's the matter?" We are just going to take my sister home, it was this little lady herself who said that she wanted to help take care of the aftermath, I just confirmed her identity, what's wrong? β
Chen Xin's entourage shouted angrily, "This is the king of Shangluo County, don't be rude!" β
The man was stunned for a moment, then lost his voice.
Chen Xin hadn't spoken yet, and the old woman over there had already wiped her eyes with tears.
"Officers and soldiers are bullying!"
The old man said something that he didn't know what to say - this world is really unbearable, and he will bear the pain of his daughter's death, and now because of a woman in a green house, he is being harassed by the king of the county......
There were more onlookers around, where had Chen Xin seen this kind of posture, and his face was a little red for a while. This is not in Shangluo, he can't mobilize officials to disperse the people, and the palace people of the Jiaofang Division are also cold-eyed and stand by on the side, without the slightest intention of interfering to relieve the siege.
Bai Ling looked at the man and the old woman in front of him who looked like cowhide plaster, and suddenly laughed.
She walked up to the old woman, half-squatted down, and whispered, "Don't act, mother-in-law make a price." β
The woman glanced at Bai Ling from between her fingers, stopped crying, and whispered, "The sectarian secretary gave fifty taels, then you should also give fifty taels, and if you give the money, you will take it away." β
Chen Xin was angry when he heard this, "You-"
"Awan." Bai Ling shouted to the other side of the street, and the maid on the other side quickly came over, "Bring ten taels of silver." β
"Eh, I mean fifty taels!" The old woman said hurriedly.
"It's only ten taels." Bai Ling glanced at him coldly, "Love or not." β
The old woman's words were held in her mouth for a while, "...... Ten taels is ten taels. β
The maid took out a money bag from her sleeve and handed it to Bai Ling, who threw it on the ground, and the old woman smiled with tears in her eyes, and quickly picked up the money bag, wiped it twice, and put it back into her arms.
The man on the side held the burden in his arms in one hand and his mother in the other, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"It's a bargain for them!" Chen Xin said with some embarrassment.
"Awan, call the car." Bai Ling looked at the maid nearby, "Bring the people back." β
"Huh." The maid nodded, and turned back to Zhang Luo.
β¦β¦
Chen Xinyuan came specifically for Heng Yuanjun's business, but seeing Bai Ling's expression tonight, he also knew that it was not a good time to speak. After he sent Bai Ling back to Lanzihao, he has been helping by his side.
Bao Yuan was sent to a small courtyard outside the Lan Zihao.
Originally, such a tragic case of beheading people would have alarmed the yamen, but after all, the place of tonight's incident was in the flower lane of Baihuaya, and the teaching department also arrived first, and made a private agreement with the family of the deceased, so there was no need to go through a series of official processes such as autopsy and yamen interrogation.
Bai Ling invited the undertaker overnight, and when she was carrying the corpse, she found that there was only a layer of skin and flesh between the neck and shoulders of the treasure duck.
They couldn't notice the difference when they were lying on the ground, but when they carried it, they had to be careful and careful.
The mortuary was also a white-haired old woman, she had obviously seen the wind and waves, looking at such a corpse, she quickly took out the needle and thread, opened the top of the treasure duck, and then sewed the skin and flesh on the outside little by little.
During the stitching, the old man softly sang the inaudible scriptures in his mouth, and from time to time he would reach out and pat on the back of the treasure duck.
This strange and melodious tone, when heard in the middle of the night, is a little pathetic and treacherous.
Bai Ling watched and listened the whole time.
When the sky was bright, the corpse was sewn up, but the hands and feet of the treasure duck were already stiff.
Under the guidance of the undertaker, the two worked together to put on new clothes for Bao Yuan.
Outside the courtyard, the coffin that Ah Wan found overnight had also been pulled by a cart, and the mourning hall had been arranged in another courtyard.
Despite the sleepless night, Boling was not sleepy at all.
"Good work," she said to the maid, "and one more thing, go find someone reliable to do." β
"What else does the girl want to do?"
"Her husband ......," Bai Ling said softly, "I want to see him." β
Ah Wan's face was embarrassed, "Lan Zihao is not the same as before, if even Changle Fang can't find anyone in this matter, even if we look for it with great fanfare, I'm afraid it will be-"
"There's no need to make a big fuss," Bai Ling said softly, "you take the money and go to Changle Fang to pay back all the money that Sister Li and her husband owe." β
Ah Wan was stunned and didn't understand for a moment.
"After I paid the money back, I left a letter saying that I was looking for this person." Bai Ling whispered, "You don't need us to look for it, wait for him to come to the door himself." β
