Jiang Lingran's eyebrows moved lightly.

Uncle Wen immediately took out the short knife pinned to his waist and put it on Cui Niang's shoulder.

When everyone saw that the knife was moved, they were all panicked, and even took a few steps back, if it wasn't for the gate blocked by the human wall, someone would have grabbed the door and walked out.

But there are also many children of the official eunuchs in the crowd, who are not afraid of things, and they also have some friendship with this Cui Niang, and they are dissatisfied when they see this: "Even if you are from the Pingsu Marquis Mansion, you can't dance knives and guns at will!" This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, is it an ornament for you to be the king? Besides, Pingsu Hou's visit to the kiln is his own personal morality is damaged, and his self-cultivation is not correct, what is the matter with Guan Cuiniang? ”

As soon as these words came out, echoes arose.

Jiang Lingran raised his eyes to look at the man who spoke, bowed slightly, and said, "What the son said is extremely true. I was born in Jiangmen, and since I was a child, I have heard and witnessed all the acts of loyalty, how dare I violate my father's and brother's police training to violate the king's laws? ”

If the sound is clear and the spring is murmuring, the tone is heavier when the word "loyalty" is spoken, and there is more sonorous power, which makes people awe-inspired.

The eunuch who spoke before saw her so polite and reasonable, and heard her say the word "Jiangmen", guessing that she was not the shrew who was messing around, and quietly waited for the rest of her words.

Jiang Lingran continued: "It's just that my marquis was kidnapped, and the robbers notified us to come here to send silver to ransom people, this bustard mother is the master of the house here, and it is difficult to guarantee that she has not colluded with the bandits!" Said and looked at Cui Niang: "Extraordinary times to do extraordinary things, today's move is really helpless, if you are wronged, the Pingsu Marquis Mansion will definitely make amends." ”

This remark is reasonable and frightening, and it is impossible to refute it.

The few people who had just been upset with Cui Niang glanced at each other and nodded in fear.

The robbery of Hou Ye is not trivial, and if the bandits are really hiding in this Yixiang Pavilion, Cui Niang is indeed suspicious, and it is reasonable for Mrs. Hou of Pingsu to act like this.

Knowing the truth, no one dares to speak easily, the melon field is not acceptable, Li Xia is not tidy, no one wants to be suspected of kidnapping Pingsu Hou for no reason!

It's just that in my heart, I secretly wondered: What kind of stupidity will this be to rob people in the capital? And robbed people into this incense pavilion?

The cold aura on the blade drilled into her body along the sweat pores on her neck, and Cui Niang felt that half of her body was ice.

This knife must have drunk blood! Cui Niang thought like this in her mind, her legs were shaking and she almost couldn't stand, and she almost cried when she heard Jiang Lingran's words: "I'm not a robber, I'm really not!" ”

"I don't mean to embarrass you, you just need to tell me, where is my lord!" Jiang Lingran looked at the rain-like cold sweat on Cui Niang's face, and added sincerely: "If I find someone, I will leave immediately." ”

The temptation of "leave immediately" is too great, Cui Niang has no resistance, and in her opinion, Mrs. Pingsu Hou is much more dangerous than Pingsu Hou!

The lesser of two evils meets.

Tremblingly, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the third floor: "In... In the cardamom room. ”

Jiang Lingran bent the corners of his lips and said, "Thank you." As he spoke, he turned and walked up the stairs.

Uncle Wen left ten people to watch the silver box, took the rest of the little guys, and escorted Cui Niang to follow.

As soon as a few people left, a discussion broke out in the crowd.

"Are people really here?"

"This Mrs. Pingsu Marquis is really affectionate, and she knows that there are robbers in this building, and she dares to come in person!"

"Cui Niang is so bold that even the Hou Ye dares to kidnap her! What a crime! ”

"I don't look like it, Cui Niang is not stupid, if she doesn't run a good Yixiang Pavilion, how can she do such a self-defeating thing?"

"However, Cui Niang clearly knew about Pingsu Hou here, and she also intended to confuse and deceive Mrs. Pingsu Hou to leave, which is a bit difficult to say."

"Is it possible that the bandits threatened Cui Niang and asked her to keep it a secret?"

No one could give answers to these questions, and the hall fell silent for a while.

Everyone's eyes followed the people on the wooden steps, only the red clothes were the most scorching, and no one in the crowd sighed: "I heard that Mrs. Pingsu Hou has an outstanding voice, but I don't want to be so fairy, this is even more beautiful than the Oiran cloud idiot in Wanhualou!" ”

Everyone subconsciously nodded in agreement, but there was also a reprimand: "Crazy, Mrs. Naping Suhou is better than Oiran!" ”

"Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue." The man explained in a panic and glanced at the little servants of the Pingsu Marquis Mansion who were guarding the silver box, and saw that they didn't hear it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

One patted the girl in his arms and said curiously: "Who lives in this cardamom room?" How have I never heard of it. ”

The girl didn't like it, and snorted without smiling: "A thin horse from Yangzhou last year, the self-proclaimed and high-minded never got along with us, and even the house was missing, and it was normal that you hadn't seen it." ”

Another girl answered: "The one in the cardamom room has an idea, has high ambitions, and says that he wants to seize the opportunity to soar, so he naturally doesn't want to be like us." ”

It's like an explanation, but there's a strong flavor of sarcasm.

The men were reluctant to get involved in this kind of jealousy in the wind and moon field, so they diverted the topic.

"That's a bit interesting, tie Pingsu Hou to the girl's room on the third floor? What do you think? ”

Not to mention that you should go out of the city immediately after kidnapping people, it is the way to achieve things, that is, there are many suitable places in this Yixiang Pavilion than this cardamom room, firewood room, utility room, and even the dog pen that is very close to the back door is easier to get out of than this cardamom room.

Now it is blocked by people, and it is in a dilemma.

Besides, even if they had the ability to escape from here, how would they take the money in the hall? Such a big box, carry it away? I'm afraid I was arrested before I left the West Market.

This thief is stupid!

"It's really unreasonable!"

Everyone didn't know whether they were curious about how the stupid kidnapper got out, or whether they were curious about the cardamom room that was rejected by all the girls, or whether the fierce Mrs. Pingsu Hou would be untimid in the face of the kidnappers.

I don't know who took the lead, and it seemed to be agreed, everyone went to the third floor one after another, but they didn't dare to make a big fanfare, and they all tiptoed like cats stepping on the roof.

Coming to the door of the room with a cardamom sign, Jiang Lingran glanced at Cui Niang.

Cui Niang nodded stumblingly: "That's it." ”

Xiang Zhu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

When he knocked on the third time, there was a lazy scolding in the room: "Who? Didn't you say don't let people bother you? "The voice is crisp and delicate.

Jiang Lingran listened to this familiar voice, his brows unconsciously raised and lowered slightly, his eyes shone with a fine cold glow and the eager excitement that the hunter would only show when he saw the prey, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and a wisp of laughter disappeared before he was raised.

In her previous life, not long after she learned of her brother's death, Zheng Qingyi went to her yard with a full demeanor, and told her happily and proudly that her brother's crime was committed by them in conspiracy!

She killed Meng Zhipei, but Zheng Qingyi still owes her...

Uncle Wen listened to the voice in the room, his old face was pale, he gritted his teeth with resentment, and scolded Meng Zhipei in his heart!

Cui Niang felt that the evil qi on the knife was a little heavier, swallowed her saliva nervously, and said loudly: "It's me, open the door!" ”
