Chapter 123: Defeated
Xiao Eryan quickly put the silver into his arms, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled very brightly on his face:
"This little brother is a man who understands. It's not that the little one refuses to say, but I'm really afraid that the shopkeeper will know that the little one chews the root of his tongue in front of the guest officials, and the little one won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
Then he looked at Xie Jinlan, who was sitting: "What does Gongzi Xie want to know?" But whoever knows is small, there will be absolutely nothing to hide! ”
Xie Jinlan raised his eyebrows: "I heard that the man has never taken off his mask in front of people, have you ever seen what that person looks like?" ”
Xiao Er slapped his thigh:
"That's not all! That white boy behaved very strangely. Not to mention that he has never taken off his mask in front of people, and even when he bathes, he closes the doors and windows tightly. It seems that I am afraid that others will steal what it seems.
Gongzi Xie, you said, it's not from the girl's family, and he doesn't know what he's worried about as a big man. ”
Xie Jinlan bowed her head undeniably, and then asked, "You haven't seen her wash her face?" ”
Xiao Er said: "Gongzi Xie, you don't know." The white boy even wore a mask when he sleep, and every time he washed his face, he asked the little ones to put down the basin and leave, and after he finished grooming, he would call the little ones to take the basin. ”
Xie Jinlan seemed to be very interested: "In this way, that white boy is difficult to serve?" ”
Xiao Er scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Not really. Although Bai Gongzi's behavior on weekdays is a little strange, he is very generous, and he will reward the little ones with a lot of silver money every time. All the juniors in our inn, in order to compete for the quota of serving Bai Gongzi, are about to break their heads. ”
Xie Jinlan asked again: "Then do you know why that Bai Gongzi came to Shuanggui County?" ”
Xiao Er shook his head slightly: "The little one doesn't know." Although Bai Gongzi is generous, he is always alone, and he has never seen him have any dealings with anyone. ”
Xie Jinlan bowed slightly.
Xiao Er glanced at Xie Jinlan and asked, "Is there anything else Xie Gongzi wants to know?" ”
Xie Jinlan glanced at the pot of wine on the table, and asked lightly: "Does that Bai Gongzi like to drink?" ”
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "It should be love." ”
Mo Yan interjected: "Little second brother, this is yours." Yes, no, no, how can there be such an ambiguous answer as yours? ”
Xiao Er explained:
"It's not a small perfunctory son, it's really small, and I can't be sure. The white boy would leave every day with a good daughter red from the inn.
The little one didn't know if he drank it into his stomach or did something else. ”
Xie Jinlan frowned in contemplation.
Xiao Er cautiously asked softly, "Childe does he have any other questions?" ”
Xie Jinlan waved his hand without raising his head: "You go down first." ”
Xiao Er retreated, and at the same time couldn't stop muttering in his heart: It's really strange that this Xie Gongzi is interested in something, and he is curious whether that Bai Gongzi likes to drink......
After Xiao Er's footsteps faded away, Mo Yan finally said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time:
"Childe, Mo Yan has been by your side since he was a child. Even if you don't understand all of your temperament, you think you know half of it.
You are not such a nosy person, and this is not the Lin'an County under your jurisdiction. The Lu County Order is not related to you, why did you risk your life to stay here to help him investigate the case? ”
Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen, who seemed to be remorseful and guilty on the side, and said lightly with an expressionless face: "Mo Yan, you have too much to say." ”
It's just that this time, Mo Yan didn't stop talking as sensibly as usual:
"Childe, even if you want to punish Mo Yan, Mo Yan must finish speaking. You know it, that person wants to kill you before you return to Beijing.
So, you are still going to stay here, do you really not take your life seriously? ”
Xie Jinlan put down the wine glass in his hand heavily, and most of the full wine shook violently and overflowed from the mouth of the glass, dripping a little on the table and splashing on his hand.
I saw him looking at Mo Yan deeply: "Mo Yan!" ”
Although Mo Yan was afraid of his eyes, he pretended to be calm and still looked at him without dodging.
In the end, Xie Jinlan unloaded his momentum, shook his head and smiled:
"Mo Yan, I know you're worried about me. But don't worry, your son-in-law and I are very sorry for my life, and I won't let myself have an accident so easily. When I was in Beijing, that man was my defeated man. Now, he's still no match for me. ”
As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped the wine stains on his hands.
Xie Jinlan's appearance of not entering oil and salt really gave Mo Yan a headache:
"Childe, Mo Yan knows that you are not staying here for the Lu County Order, nor for the so-called revenge of the deceased. Can't you tell Mo Yan the real reason? ”
Xie Jinlan glanced at Ruan Yezhen and said with a meaningful smile: "It's not that I don't want to tell you the truth, it's really a long story." ”
Mo Yan said: "Then make a long story short. ”
Xie Jinlan said again: "But this matter is too unbelievable, and I don't know where to start." ”
Mo Yan suddenly cried and laughed: "Childe, don't you make it clear that you don't want to say it?" ”
When the words fell, he seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became lonely:
"Childe, Mo Yan has followed you for so many years, don't you know how Mo Yan behaves? Why do you still distrust ink inkstone so much, or are you so wary of ink inkstone? ”
Xie Jinlan was instantly dumbfounded and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
After Mo Yan left, looking at Xie Jinlan with a somewhat complicated expression, Ruan Yezhen said cautiously: "Xie Jinlan, are you okay?" ”
Xie Jinlan suddenly put away his thoughts, and smiled casually: "Don't think too much. I'm not going to put my own safety at risk for you, you're not that important. ”
Ruan Yezhen was used to his ruthlessness, but she was very skeptical of his words: "Then why did you stay here?" ”
Xie Jinlan shook his head gently, but smiled silently.
Seeing this, Ruan Yezhen was very discouraged.
Xie Jinlan is really, he is very guarded, and he is always reluctant to say things to others......
Ruan Yezhen's eyes were spinning, and she didn't know what the hell she was doing.
Seeing that Xie Jinlan picked up the wine glass and was about to send it to his mouth, Ruan Yezhen quickly stopped the thoughts in his head and stopped: "Xie Jinlan, you have an injury on your hand, you can't drink!" ”
Xie Jinlan paused, gently put down the wine glass, and glanced at her meaningfully: "Only my parents and wives are qualified to take care of me, I don't know what kind of identity Miss Ruan is?" ”
Ruan Yezhen's face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly interrupted: "I care about you as a friend!" ”
