Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rescue Like Smoke The Baihualou Gang Committed a Crime
Late at night, Ningfu
When Ning Yi returned to Ning Mansion, Ouyang Hibiscus was in his study, pacing back and forth anxiously, and when he heard footsteps, he wanted to rush out of the door immediately. Since he received Ruyan's letter, the whole person was shocked and afraid, and after thinking about it again, he still decided to discuss this matter with Ning Yi.
As soon as Ning Yi stepped close to the study, he was hurriedly pulled down by Ouyang Muhibiscus, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back?" ”
"I was just investigating the matter of Feng Ling'er, the first beauty in the rivers and lakes." Ning Yi stood up from his seat again, and rode the horse for half an hour, his butt was numb.
What is the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, all of them are not in Ouyang Muhibiscus's eyes, he took out a letter from his chest, handed it to Ning Yi, and said in a low voice: "This is given to me by Ruyan's personal maid Xiaohan, the letter should be written by Ruyan herself, she suspects that she is being targeted and wants me to save her." ”
It was rare for Ning Yi to see Ouyang Hibiscus so serious, he picked up the letter and read it under the candlelight, the yellow light was projected on Ning Yi's face, and it could be seen that he was very focused at the moment.
Seeing that Ning Yi attached so much importance to it, Ouyang Muhibiscus's hanging heart sank half, and what he was most worried about was that Ning Yi felt that a woman in a green building was irrelevant.
Ning Yi carefully read the letter twice, lowered his head and muttered, "When did you receive the letter?" ”
"It's noon today." Ouyang Muhibiscus replied.
Ning Yi knocked on the table and analyzed: "There are three doubts about this matter, first, who secretly changed the medicine of the girl Ruyan behind her back, although she is only suspicious of the change of medicine at present, but I think her suspicion is very likely to be true." Second, Ruyan's letter said that she suspected that Miss Xue Qiao from Baihualou was involved, and this suspicion is also well-founded in my opinion. I have a secret pile in Baihualou, she once said that Xue Qiao herself is very cold, almost not interacting with other girls in Baihualou, at this time suddenly came out to be courteous, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of inquiry. Third, who is spying on the girl and what is the purpose of this person. ”
Ouyang Muhibiscus also sat down calmly at this time, and after listening, he asked, "Shall we send someone to spy on Xue Qiao, see who is behind this scene, and then take it down in one fell swoop." ”
Ning Yi shook his head contemplatively: "Don't act rashly first, let's go to Baihualou to explore the truth first." ”
"Ruyan is now closed and doesn't see any guests, if we see her at this time, won't we be exposed?" Ouyang Mujin asked.
Ning Yi shook his head in a dashing manner and said, "Who said that we went to see Ruyan!" After saying that, she smiled mysteriously at him.
Ouyang Muhibiscus reacted, he had no choice but to shake his head and smile helplessly, this person has a secret pile, this matter is much easier.
Ning Yi, who had just come back, got into the carriage again and drove towards the Baihua Building, Ouyang Muhibiscus looked at his slightly tired look, and then looked at the dark sky outside, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Ning Yi clasped his hands around his chest, opened one eye, looked at him, and comforted him with a smile: "Put it down, there is a young master, it is easy to deal with these small people." ”
Baihualou
After Ning Yi arrived at Baihualou, he took Ouyang Hibiscus straight to Qingyu's residence, Qingyu likes to be quiet and lives in an attic on the east side.
Seeing that Ning Yi suddenly came with Ouyang Gongzi, Qing Yu knew that there was something important to discuss, so he hurriedly asked the maid to guard the door and brought them inside.
After making the tea, Qing Yu asked softly, "The prince came here, but it was for the sake of the girl like a cigarette." ”
Before Ning Yi could speak, Ouyang Muhibiscus asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”
Qing Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his expression was not light: "Ruyan has encountered some strange things recently, Ouyang Dacai likes Ruyan and is a well-known thing in Jingshi, don't guess." ”
Ning Yi immediately heard the unusualness: "What strange thing happened to her?" ”
Qing Yu thought about it, listened to the movements around her, and said, "I can't say clearly, but I feel that someone is eyeing her." ”
Ouyang Muhibiscus's face immediately became uneasy after hearing this, and Ning Yi was quite calm: "Let's talk about your observations." ”
Qing Yu nodded, and began to think carefully about the situation these days: "At first, I also thought that Ruyan was infected with the wind cold, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but there have been a few strange guests in Baihualou recently. ”
Ning Yi and Ouyang Muhibiscus listened very carefully.
Qing Yu continued: "Look at their dress, they are a bit like merchants, but not as talkative as merchants, every time they come, they sit in the same place, only listen to little songs, and do nothing else. From that position, I could see the window of the smokey room, and several times when I went up and down the stairs, I saw this group of people staring at the smokey room from time to time, and pretending to be nothing. ”
"Are these guys available today?" After Ning Yi listened, Zhengse asked.
Qing Yu shook his head: "Since I paid attention to this group of people, I have been paying attention to their movements every day, but today none of them came. ”
"Can you draw the dress and appearance of their group?" Ning Yi then asked.
Qing Yu thought for a while: "You can draw about seven points." ”
After listening to Ning Yi's instructions, he said, "Tomorrow, you draw them down, and pass them on to me." ”
Qing Yu nodded.
Ning Yi wanted to start with the clue of medicine: "Who usually boils the medicine in Baihualou?" ”
"Medicine?" Qing Yu's face was a little curious, but he still replied: "Generally, it is boiled in the kitchen, and after it is boiled, it will be given to the maids in each room by the little maid." She has always been sharp-minded, and immediately after finishing speaking, she asked, "Childe is saying that someone has done something to the medicine like smoke?" ”
Ning Yi groaned: "At present, it's just a suspicion, do you think it's more likely to be drugged?" ”
Qing Yu thought for a while, and said: "The owner of Baihua Lou has very strict control over the kitchen, from ingredients, medicinal materials to all kinds of wine, there are special people to manage it, if you have to take medicine, I think it is more likely that the little guy who delivered the medicine will be bought, but..."
"But what?" Ouyang Muhibiscus leaned over a little and asked, he really couldn't help it.
"These little people who deliver medicine and food are all deaf and mute, they can't speak, they can only understand some simple words, do you think it will be them?" Qing Yu asked cautiously.
"Deaf and dumb?" Ouyang Muhibiscus looked shocked after hearing this, he had never paid attention to this.
Ning Yi's face was still the same, he looked at the two of them, lowered his head and said softly: "That is, there is still a possibility that the person who delivered the medicine was secretly replaced." ”
Qing Yu and Ouyang Mu Hibiscus looked at each other after hearing this, there was indeed this possibility, Qing Yu suddenly stood up and saluted: "Son, as long as this person is pretending, his subordinates have a way to find him out." ”
Ning Yi thought to himself, it was indeed much more convenient for Qing Yu's identity to act in the Hundred Flowers Building, and he commanded in a low voice: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and I'll let Duan Er support you during this time." ”
When Qing Yu heard the name Duan Er, her face changed slightly, and she bowed her head and replied respectfully, "Thank you, Prince." ”
Ouyang Muhibiscus suddenly remembered Xue Qiao, who was competing with them for the position of Oiran that day, and asked, "What is your relationship with that Xue Qiao girl?" ”
Qing Yu didn't expect him to suddenly inquire about Xue Qiao, thought about it, shook his head and said: "I don't know her well, she is like her name, she is very cold, she doesn't interact with us on weekdays, I also wanted to inquire about her, but her life is very monotonous and boring, and she likes to be bored in the room alone on weekdays, so I really can't inquire about anything." ”
After Ouyang Muhibiscus listened, he sighed with some disappointment, and the three of them sat down, and there was a silence.
"Still." Qing Yu's words suddenly broke the silence at this time.
Ouyang Mujin hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
Qing Yu whispered again and cautiously said: "I heard that Xue Qiao was recently taken by a noble man with a lot of money, but this is just a rumor in the Hundred Flowers Building, and it can't be true." ”
"What nobleman?" Ning Yi asked, and he suddenly felt in his heart that this noble person might be the person behind the scenes.
Qing Yu only shook his head and said: "This noble person is very mysterious, no one has ever seen her, every time I ask her, I send someone to pick her up." I guess only my mother knows. The mother in her mouth refers to the old bustard in the Baihua Building, the golden fat mother-in-law.
Ning Yi raised the corners of his mouth with a slight joy, and patted Ouyang Muhibiscus on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go meet this fat golden mother-in-law, do you bring gold?" ”
Ouyang Mujin hurriedly took out two gold ingots from his body, and sighed: "Na, my monthly money for three months." ”
Ning Yi took the two gold ingots with one hand, handed one of them to Qing Yu, and said, "You continue to track down the person who delivered the medicine, pay attention to safety, we will go first, and we can't say a word tonight." ”
Qing Yu hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Yes! ”
Ning Yi took Ouyang Hibiscus and left, and he thought as he walked, how to pry open the mouth of the golden fat mother-in-law.
As soon as Ning Yi and Ouyang Muhibi walked out of Qing Yao's room, they heard someone shouting in horror: "Mom is hanging the beam, mom is hanging the beam!" ”
Ning Yi heard the voice, and immediately ran upstairs quickly, they just heard the news that the golden fat mother-in-law knew the insider, she committed suicide by hanging herself, this is by no means a suicide, the murderer should still be at the scene, he can't give up this rare opportunity, Ouyang Mujin hurriedly followed behind him, shouting "Wait for me!" "He is a weak scholar, of course he can't keep up with Ning Yi.
When Ning Yi rushed into the door, the ground was sprinkled with water everywhere, a girl knelt on the ground, there was a basin beside her, she trembled, her face was frightened, Ning Yi looked up and saw that there was a fat and strong woman hanging on the beam, it was the old bustard of Baihualou, Jinhua Mother-in-law, her eyes were still open, her tongue fell out, and she looked very frightened.
There were more and more people around, and the windows swayed with the windows, and it seemed that someone had just escaped through the windows, and his eyes were looking around quickly, concentrating all his attention, observing the fine expressions of the people around him.
Ning Yi has a faint intuition, the murderer has not left yet, if the murderer can be dressed up as a small guy in the store, then why should he go, he can jump out of the window and jump out again, confusing the public, but it is not completely ruled out that the murderer really escaped.
Just when Ning Yi was a little worried, Ouyang Muhibiscus climbed up in a hurry, pulled Ning Yi and asked, "What's wrong, has the murderer been caught?" As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at the beams of the house, and saw Baihualou's mother's big white face with her tongue hanging down, and she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
Ning Yi said in a calm voice that everyone could hear again: "Not yet, you should have jumped away from the window, Brother Wang, you go to report to the official first, and I will chase after you." After Ning Yi finished speaking, he jumped out of the window.
A dark shadow in the dark outside, it seemed to hear Ning Yi's voice, and secretly jumped back to Baihualou from a corner, he has been hiding in the dark, just want to hear what the prince said about the difficult person will decide, if the man named Ning Yi jumped out of the window and chased himself, he would secretly jump back, and tomorrow morning, and then take the opportunity to slip away, if Ning Yi chooses to find someone in Baihualou, he will immediately slip away.
Obviously, Ning Yi was much more stupid than he imagined.
Although Ouyang Muhibiscus was a little frightened, he still obeyed Ning Yi's command and planned to report to the official, but he couldn't figure it out, why did Ning Yi call himself Wang Gongzi just now, what was the purpose of this?
Just as Ouyang Mujian turned to leave, the girl who was kneeling on the ground suddenly got up, hugged Ouyang Muhibiscus tightly with both hands, and shouted in horror: "Wang Gongzi save Shuang'er, the little girl only has Wang Lang, please Gongzi save Shuang'er!" ”
After Ouyang Muhibiscus heard this, he took her hand away in shock, and said with a straight face: "I don't know you, why should I save you!" ”
This sentence immediately spread in the surrounding crowd, and some people began to accuse Ouyang Mujian, saying that he had no sympathy and was ruthless, and the little woman saw that everyone was reacting, and began to kneel on the ground again, holding Ouyang Muhibiscus's thighs with one hand, and continued to touch her stomach sadly, and said: "Please Gongzi look at our children's sake, save Shuang'er's life." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, the crowd seemed to have forgotten the golden fat mother-in-law who was still hanging on the beam, and began to condemn Ouyang Hibiscus together, and then someone began to push in the crowd, and someone squeezed towards Ouyang Hibiscus, and he gradually understood that this woman wanted to frame him, and suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and secretly scolded Ning Yi in his heart, leaving him here alone.
At this moment, Duan Er flew in from the window and said loudly to Ouyang Muhibiscus: "Mr. Ouyang, my son-in-law is outside, why can't you come over?" ”
"Are you Mr. Ouyang Jingliang?" Looking at the older man, he suddenly asked in the crowd.
Ouyang Mujin hurriedly took out his ebony fan and replied, "It's down!" ”
"Mr. Ouyang! Give me an autograph! ”
"Mr. Ouyang, write me a pair of words!"
"Mr. Ouyang......"
Baihualou suddenly became very lively, the woman who was still holding Ouyang Hibiscus's thigh just now hurriedly hid the dagger on her body, just now, she was going to secretly stab Ouyang Hibiscus in the body, but unfortunately, there was such a good opportunity just now.
Seeing this, Duan Er hurriedly said to Ouyang Muhibiscus: "Gongzi asked me to take you to a safe place, that woman just now is also from their faction!" "If it weren't for Ning Yi's orders, Duan Er wanted to arrest this person immediately and catch them all!
