Chapter 68: How is the truth?
Soldier Xu was a small official, so he immediately coerced and lured: "Little lady, you are so beautiful, if you obey me, how about worry-free food and clothing in the future?" If you promise me, you will marry you, and if you don't promise, you will wait to be a concubine! ”
Hearing this, Mu Liran couldn't help sneering, one laughing at this person's wishful thinking, but laughing at his lack of time.
Sure enough, Zhan Cangming's face darkened in an instant, and the majesty of the prince was not just a joke. Without waiting for the guard to make a move, he waved his hand, and the soldier was slapped to the ground.
The others wanted to step forward to help, but they shrank back in fright by Zhan Cangming's eyes, so they had to give up.
The timid and somewhat beautiful women behind him clapped their hands and cheered, and rushed in, without worrying about being insulted by the groping pig's hands.
Mu Liran glanced at Zhan Cangming gratefully, and the two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side.
A few people found an inn to stay, settled everything, and it didn't take long for them to discuss going out to inquire about what was going on with the wanted notice at the door.
Sennar didn't know anything about the wanted post, but she couldn't get out, it would be too ostentatious.
"Mu Liran, Zhan Cangming, please, you must ask clearly, thank you!" Sennar lowered his eyes and spoke a little weakly.
What's really going on in this country? What's the conspiracy behind all this? No one knows.
Mu Liran naturally agreed, and volunteered to go out to inquire about the news, and Zhan Cangming could only accompany her so as to protect her.
Sennar didn't know anything about the wanted post, but she couldn't get out, it would be too ostentatious.
"Mu Liran, Zhan Cangming, please, you must ask clearly, thank you!" Sennar lowered his eyes and spoke a little weakly.
What's really going on in this country? What's the conspiracy behind all this? No one knows.
Mu Liran naturally agreed, and volunteered to go out to inquire about the news, and Zhan Cangming could only accompany her so as to protect her.
Sennar and Zhan Wuji couldn't go out, and could only nest in an ordinary inn all day long, Mu Liran really couldn't bear it.
On this day, it is the day of the market at the east street entrance of the city, and it is very lively.
On both sides of the street, stalls sell all sorts of novelties and all kinds of children's favorite pastries.
Mu Liran looked sideways, only to feel that it was full of fireworks, and the air was full of the sweet smell of sugar gourds.
Zhan Cangming looked at her like a little gluttonous cat, looking east and west, but she just puffed out her cheeks and refused to buy it.
He quipped: "I fancy something and pick it up, such a greedy look, as if I, the prince, can't afford to pay." ”
Mu Liran glanced at his lips lightly, but did not continue, and Zhan Cangming was not annoyed, and continued to walk behind.
The two came to the door of a teahouse, and Qi Qi was attracted by the rich aroma of tea. It is surprising that there is such good tea on such a street.
Looking at the appearance of this courtyard, Mu Liran was excited to go in and take a look. Since ancient times, the easiest place to inquire about gossip is nothing more than at the dinner table and in the teahouse.
The tall and delicate store in front of me, the four strong and powerful characters of Mingyue Tea House look a little old, and the table and the beams of the room are full of a sense of cangsang of the years, which makes people a little embarrassed and full of curiosity.
As soon as he sat down, Xiao Er stepped forward to greet the two guests attentively: "Yo, two guest officers, if you want to eat or drink, just ask." ”
This little two was too enthusiastic, and his eyes looked clever and pleasing, so he smiled and said, "When I passed by just now, I smelled a strange fragrance of tea, I don't know what kind of tea it is?" ”
"Strange aroma of tea? Not at all! The little second and second zhang monks were puzzled, and asked with an ignorant face: "The two guests are from out of town, right?" It doesn't sound like a local, so it's no wonder you don't know. ”
"Oh? Don't know what? Zhan Cangming asked with interest, and the paper fan shook gently.
"This is a special tea in our local area called fragrant tea. If you want to taste it, you can come to the right place, although the taste here is similar to other places, but our tea is very fresh. Xiao Er's mouth is sharp, and the head of a few words is the Tao.
"In this case, then serve a pot of your fragrant tea and some special snacks." Mu Liran commanded with a smile.
Xiao Er smiled, nodded, flicked the towel on his shoulder, and shouted towards the kitchen: "A pot of fragrant tea, five dishes of special side dishes!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Er was going to greet the other guests again.
Seeing this, Mu Liran hurriedly stopped, and asked indifferently: "Xiao Er, let me ask you something, do you know the wanted notice written on the door with Sennar, what's going on?" ”
As soon as these words came out, including Xiao Er, the faces of the others all changed and looked at Mu Liran, as if they were secretive about this time.
Mu Liran didn't expect everyone to be quiet because of her words, so she laughed dryly, and quickly explained: "I just asked the soldier at the gate who stopped me when I entered the city before, and I looked like a girl on the wanted notice, and I wanted to take the opportunity to harass me, so I wanted to inquire about the situation." ”
I see......
Everyone was relieved again, and there was no hostility in the eyes that looked at Mu Liran.
Xiao Er kindly stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "This girl, in fact, you don't look like the person on the wanted warrant at all." That's the guard at the door who saw your beauty and lusted, don't ask about this matter, the relationship is messed up! ”
"Oh? What the hell is the law? Mu Liran blinked, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Xiao Er expectantly.
Xiao Er glanced at her, and then at Zhan Cangming, who didn't speak, shook his head, and didn't dare to open his mouth to prepare to leave.
Mu Liran couldn't ask anything, feeling deeply frustrated, and turned his head to look at Zhan Cangming for help.
Zhan Cang took out a large amount of silver from his arms, lowered it and stuffed it to Xiao Er, and said softly: "We are also interested, so we should listen to a joke." ”
When Xiao Er saw the silver, his face was entangled, and finally he snatched the silver.
whispered: "I'll tell you, don't talk nonsense outside, you're going to cut off your head!" ”
Mu Liran nodded again and again, and assured Xiao Twenty Million that Xiao Er said slowly: "Sennar was originally the daughter of the king, our princess Her Royal Highness. But some time ago, news came out of the palace that the maids beside the king listened to Princess Sennar and secretly poisoned the king. Sennar plotted against the king, and the crime was great! ”
"What?" Just a few words shocked Mu Liran, it was impossible for Sennar to do such a thing!
Xiao Er was startled by Mu Liran's sudden exclamation, and didn't understand why she reacted so much as she isolated passers-by, and looked at her suspiciously.
Zhan Cangming sensed that something was wrong, reached under the table, and gently pinched the root of Mu Liran's thigh, signaling her to calm down.
Mu Liran took several deep breaths in succession before his face calmed down and asked, "Princess Tangtang, why do you want to murder the king, this is unreasonable!" ”
"Shh......h The king is in mourning, Sennar has absconded in fear of crime, don't call her a princess, she will be killed! Xiao Er looked around vigilantly, looking nervous.
Mu Liran didn't want to embarrass others, nodded, and didn't continue to ask.
Soon, the tea, wine and food were all ready.
It's a pity that the two people at the dinner table have different thoughts, so how can they still be in the mood to taste tea.
No matter how fragrant and mellow the tea is, it is in vain to say to Mu Li at this time, she is unhappy for Sennar in her heart, and she is depressed.
As for Zhan Cangming, he saw through the simplicity behind the matter at a glance, and it seems that what happened in this country has become so complicated that it is difficult to solve.
The two of them simply took a few sips of tea and immediately checked out and left.
It was already late afternoon when he returned to the inn, and Sennar was anxious to wait, and when he saw them coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward.
Mu Liran's hand was tightly held by Sennar, and she asked, "Liran, what's going on?" ”
Mu Liran couldn't bear to speak, and secretly glanced at Zhan Cangming, looking at him with two big eyes, full of pleading.
Zhan Cangming knew that he couldn't bear to speak, so he told the story that the king was poisoned and the murderer was identified as Sennar, and he told the story.
Sennar was so angry that he was about to rush out of the inn and enter the palace to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Mu Liran: "This matter is a conspiracy from beginning to end, we can't act rashly, we must plan it slowly." ”
"It must be my uncle, my father's younger brother is behind it! Definitely! Sennar, who had calmed down, had serious eyes and excited words.
Mu Liran glanced at her sympathetically, her father was killed by thieves, but she herself was the victim, but she was pointed out as the murderer by reversing black and white.
"Don't worry, Sennar, I will find out the truth for you! Help you get revenge! Mu Liran raised three fingers and swore to the sky.
Sennar was moved, and tears of grief welled up in her cheeks.
At this time, Zhan Wuji was behind her, frowning in distress, and he didn't know where to start comforting.
There was a sad smell throughout the room, and everyone could only be silent.
"Liran, please, let me enter the palace, okay?" Sennar cried for a long time, his brain was hot, and he knelt down in front of Mu Liran's knees with a plop.
Mu Liran was startled, and hurriedly helped the person up, feeling distressed: "Why are you doing this, I don't understand your thoughts." But you have to understand, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, and now if you are recognized and lose your life, you can only die unjustly, not only can you not take revenge, but you will also let the real murderer get away with it forever, and then you will have no shame to face your father under Jiuquan! ”
Mu Liran's words are very reasonable, and they are all facts, Sennar has nothing to refute, and he is gradually convinced.
At this time, Zhan Cangming, who had been calm, burst out with a trace of essence from a pair of deep pupils, and said quietly: "Revenge, it is enough to have the two of us, I already have an idea." ”
"What's the idea?" Zhan Wuji, Mu Liran, and Sennar spoke in unison.
"To find out the real culprit, we must first start with the servant girl, no matter what, we must go to the palace. Now that the king is in mourning, it is at a critical juncture, and ordinary means cannot enter. So we can only go in with the name of justice. ”
"How?" Mu Liran was puzzled, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said with a smile: "I know, do you want us to be the envoys of the War Cangguo, so that we can enter it justifiably!" ”
Even Zhan Cangming was a little surprised, when did this girl become so aware of his thoughts?
