Chapter 287: Empty

After Su Jingye came out of the pear orchard, they started from the Yuelai Inn on the edge of the nearest Dongcheng. At this time, although it is not too early, it is not so bad that the sun is not so dark that people can't see it clearly.

The sunlight streaming in through the side windows illuminated the rooms in the inn.

In front of him, except for the mattress, tables and chairs originally equipped with the inn, there were no more clothes and utensils, and even the props for the troupe to sing were not the same. The proprietress rubbed her eyes in disbelief, thinking that there was something wrong with her vision.

"I didn't even get the deposit back, and I just left, is it because I am afraid of crime and absconding?" Su Jingye pursed the corners of his lips with some mockery, and exchanged a look with Shi Zhengzhi.

Shi Zhengzhi was clear, so he snatched the key from the boss's hand and opened several rooms next to him, but obtained the same result.

"I walked cleanly, not even a little thing left, I also deliberately tried the dust on those cabinets, and the chairs that I often use to rest on weekdays were clean, and I didn't think I had been gone for a few days."

Shi Zhengzhi walked over slowly, arranged for a few yacha who accompanied him to search those rooms again, and returned to the room where Su Jingye was first, and returned the key.

"I was so embarrassed that I was abrupt just now."

"No problem." The proprietress twisted two fingers, only grabbed the wire on the other side of the key ring and carefully took the key back. She lost such slender hands, and I don't know where she got such a strong effort, and she didn't feel heavy at all when she hooked it on her fingertips.

When Su Jingye in the room heard the news, he leaned over and squatted next to the bed, wanting to see if they had missed anything. But he didn't want him to be good, but Zhao Ming had a seizure first, and he was very dissatisfied and shook his hands and stomped his feet.

"It's really unreasonable, it took a day of hard work to find out here, who would have thought that it would be empty? They are in such a hurry, they must be weak in the group crime, if the official has the opportunity, he will definitely arrest them all and clean them up. ”

"Lord Zhao, you calm down first, the drunken building over there will invite the troupe to sing in the past, it was a complete accident, Zheng Cheng led Yang Zhongping to bump into it by chance, and it is impossible for anyone to predict it in advance,"

"Why did they spend so much effort in the drama troupe, just to kill a weak scholar who was powerless." Su Jingye didn't get up, but even if he turned his back to him, he could imagine what kind of actions and demeanor he would have after his angry tone, and he couldn't help but smile on his lips

Shi Zhengzhi also patted Zhao Ming's shoulder as if he was teasing, "Could it be that Lord Zhao stayed in the room where the two girls lived for the first time, and he was affected to be hypocritical?" ”

This sentence is half ridicule, half sarcasm, the relationship between Shi Zhengzhi and Zhao Ming is obviously not good enough to joke with each other, Zhao Ming suddenly turned cold.

"Isn't Lord Shi the legend that pays the most attention to factual evidence, why is it that now his speech has begun to become so vain?"

Shi Zhengzhi told him funny and embarrassed, only bent the corners of his mouth at him lightly, and did not continue to argue with him, so as not to quarrel in the end.

This girl obviously said that she loved cleanliness very much, but this is not necessarily the case in the room. Su Jingye squatted next to the bed, wanting to see if there was anything missing, but when he didn't pay attention, he actually stained half of his hand with dry paint.

Half of the paint was as dry and stiff as a stone, while the other half was still a little damp, and the sticky fingertips of Su Jingye were full of red and white paint, and there was a faint smell.

It seems that the Tiger Run troupe is in a hurry, and the two girls were called away when they were putting on makeup, so so much paint fell in a hurry. But why do they draw each other in the room?

"This can't be seen from the outside, or the feet next to the bed can best reflect whether a person loves to be clean or not." Su Jingye stood up with his slimy hand on his face full of sorrow.

Shi Zhengzhi and Zhao Ming, who had a feeling of redness when they saw each other, turned their heads and found the melancholy on his face, and they no longer continued to fight each other, only looking at Su Jingye laughing out loud without giving face.

Su Jingye snorted dryly, hurriedly ran to the door of the room and drove the copper basin filled with water, and quickly washed the one when it felt bad on the wooden shelf, and asked the proprietress by the way.

"What's going on in your store lately?" Have you ever asked someone from this troupe to help perform? After Su Jingye finished speaking, he regretted that he had asked too much, if there was really such a thing, the proprietress would have explained it in advance.

"If you don't say it, I almost forgot. Some time ago, my father-in-law originally planned to ask the people in the troupe to sing a play, which was lively and lively, but because there were too many guests in those days and things were complicated, the matter was put on hold. ”

The proprietress stood obediently in the corner of the room, stretched out her finger and pointed at her chin. Su Jingye was immediately stunned and asked, "In that case, do you remember when it was?" ”

"It didn't take long, just a few days ago, isn't it about to hold the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, there are a lot of outsiders who come to do business, or come to enjoy the lanterns,"

Looking out of the window following what the proprietress said, many houses in the alley next to it had already been decorated, and the fiery red tassels hung on the eaves and treetops, looking particularly festive.

"Every inn is almost in the peak season, and our Yuelai Inn is naturally the best, and dozens of rooms are almost full of people."

The only big river that crosses the entire capital here is also called the Longshui River, and along the banks of the river, countless people are nourished, and there will be a small bridge almost every other mile.

As the name suggests, Xiaoqiao looks very petite, and even the people who support the boat and sell vegetables pass under it, and they have to bend down well, otherwise they are afraid of hitting their heads.

This meandering river, covered with so many small bridges like scales, can also be regarded as a major feature of the Longshui River.

The Longshui River came down from the north, flowed all the way through the end of Suzaku Street, and went to the direction of the East City Gate, and it was necessary to make a sharp turn at a position about ten miles away from the city gate, and slowly extend out, so as not to meet the city gate.

When the Longshui River passed through a dirt mill in the northeast corner, the local people specially opened a large open space for it and built the only bridge in the capital that could be passed by 100 people at the same time.

The bridge is called the Scales Bridge, and on the opposite side of the river, a huge wooden platform was also built, called the Jiaotai platform.

This platform has been standing here for more than 100 years since the beginning of the dynasty, and if it is slightly decayed, the imperial court will send someone to renovate it, so that it still looks brand new.

Naturally, these two things weren't built there for the sake of trouble. The first emperor of the Su family once had a habit of coming to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and called the troupe and others to perform on the wooden stage and have fun with the people.

Originally, this was just a move by the first emperor who wanted to come out to relax, but later the descendants of the Su family found out that the news that the emperor would come could greatly drive the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival and benefit the people of the capital a lot, so they inherited it one after another, and it has been until now.

"Then again, it doesn't seem like there's a few days left before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Su Jingye nodded in a deep voice, presumably His Majesty will also come out of the palace to visit the Scales Bridge.

Also, listening to the rumors of Wu Sanniang and the people in the pear orchard in the drunken building, I am afraid that the tiger running troupe that came to perform this year was set, otherwise how could this mediocre troupe attract so much attention.

"Since this troupe has been entrusted with an important task, it is just that such a thing can be caused here, and I don't know if they are overconfident or have other plans."

Su Jingye sighed meaningfully, the proprietress didn't know what she meant, but she also echoed beside her, "Who said it wasn't, it actually provoked a few adults to come over in person." It is estimated that the reputation of the Tiger Run Troupe has become completely lively when this matter has been spread. ”

"That's not necessarily, they secretly ran out of the Yuelai Inn, and we can't know their current location, if it is reported, I'm afraid that the content of this finalization will change."

Zhao Ming wanted to pretend to be deep, so he learned from Su Jingye to pinch his chin, and deliberately frowned, so that Su Jingye couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and still unceremoniously refuted his words.

"That's not necessarily, these things are all handled by the Ministry of Industry, do you think Master Gu will do such a troublesome thing?"

"But there is usually a spare candidate, if there is still no one in the troupe a few days before the lantern festival starts, Lord Gu will call another family to play." Su Jingye washed his hands, wiped off the water droplets on his hands with the towel hanging next to him, and walked out the door.

"We've seen almost everything in this room, now let's take a look elsewhere, doesn't it mean that there is another room for the husband and wife to live in, maybe that girl is the breakthrough in this case."

Zhao Ming, Shi Zhengcheng and the proprietress followed him out, and the doors of the three rooms next to him had been opened, and the dust at the door was flying everywhere unscrupulously in the afternoon sun, as if no one had cleaned it up for a long time.

"Their room is right next door to this." The proprietress gestured to the room and moved out of the way. "But they are not husband and wife, and they haven't had a marriage ceremony yet, but it's almost there, since the two of them are willing, then we will open the room for them."

"If it is involved in this way, then the story is much more interesting." Su Jingye didn't know what to think of, and a strange smile appeared on his face inexplicably, which made everyone stunned. And as soon as he stepped into this room, he smelled a particularly familiar smell.
