Chapter 164: Departure from Weicheng
After Lan Shizi left Night City, Ye Mo Ying felt very lonely when she stayed alone in the palace, so she went to the Night King's Mansion to find Nan Xinuo, knowing that Nan Xinuo was going to Weicheng, and was clamoring to follow her, Nan Xinuo was entangled by her and couldn't do it, so she had to agree to her.
Ye Mo Sakura was afraid that Nan Xinuo would regret not taking her to Weicheng, so she immediately asked people to go back to the house to clean up the softness, and she stayed in the Night King's Mansion and did not leave, Nan Xinuo was pestered by her, and saw that the Night Princess had no opinion, so she reluctantly left her in the mansion.
Knowing that Nan Xinuo was going to Weicheng, Lan Qianfang wrote a letter to Nan Xinuo and prepared some gifts. The first is to thank her for saving Lan Qianyun, and the second is to say that the Lan family's business is very extensive, and there are shops in almost every place in Yeyuan, reminding her that as long as she needs anything, she can go to the Lan family's shop.
When Nan Xinuo saw the content of the letter, his heart warmed, it would be good to have a relative who is the richest in the world!
In the early morning of the second day, Nan Xinuo went to say goodbye to the Night Princess, and was urged to leave by the Night Princess before she could say a few words, so she couldn't cry or laugh, thinking about how the Night Princess was more anxious than her, she seemed to want to go to Weicheng as soon as possible!
Could it be that the Night Princess wants to send herself away and then live a two-person world with the Night King?
But the emperor hasn't been doing anything lately, and the Night King is very busy, right?
Jokes aside, Nan Xinuo did not delay, after everything was ready, he left the palace with Ye Mo Ying, but as soon as he left the night city, he saw Shangguan Ling waiting for them outside the city, saying that it was on the order of Yun Shizi to escort them to Weicheng.
Along the way, Ye Mo Ying and Shangguan Ling were noisy, which added a lot of joy to the trip. Weicheng is still some distance from Night City, it takes about seven or eight days to take a horse-drawn carriage, and there are waterways.
The beautiful scenery along the way provoked Nan Xinuo to stop and watch from time to time, looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers, which made her feel good.
She knew that nature was still right for her!
It was the first time that Yemo Sakura was so far away from Night City, and when she saw the beautiful scenery outside, she was very happy and was reluctant to go back to Night City.
Shangguan Ling often travels north and south, they can follow him to walk the nearest distance, they can travel in the mountains and rivers, and they can eat special food, Ye Mo Ying feels that this time it is really worth coming out.
However, because of the internal fighting of the royal family on Chinese New Year's Eve in recent years, many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as well as fierce people's customs, what they saw along the way made people smack.
Among them, Nan Xinuo and they passed through Bao'an County, there was a concubine who was involved in fornication with someone outside the staff and was bumped into by the outsider, so he poisoned the outsider, made trouble to the government office, and was sentenced to death. But Nan Xinuo felt that the death of the staff member was a little strange, and the woman shouted injustice again, and she was curious for a while, so she asked people to investigate.
As a result, it was unexpectedly discovered that it was not the concubine who was poisoned, but the daughter-in-law outside the staff, and the daughter-in-law did not want to kill the outsider, but wanted to kill the concubine, because her husband had an affair with her father-in-law's concubine and was pregnant with a child.
But she can't murder her husband, so she can only kill the concubine, who ever thought that the poison that the concubine didn't drink, but called the outside to drink, after the death of the outside, she will plan it, and frame the concubine who murdered the outsider, after all, the outside died in the concubine's room.
When the truth was revealed, everyone felt frightened. Even after Ye Mo Sakura knew the truth, she couldn't believe it, she didn't expect that the back houses of ordinary people were so chaotic.
Although the daughter-in-law didn't want to kill the outsider, but in the end she drank her poison, not to mention that she still had the intention of framing and was sentenced to death.
The concubine didn't know the inspection, and fornicated with the son of the outsider, and was pregnant with a child, and was soaked in a pig cage by the clan of the outsider's family, and was forced to die, and the son who fornicated with the concubine was also removed from the clan.
The matter came to an end, and Nan Xinuo and the others did not delay, so they left Bao'an County immediately and continued to hurry. Weicheng is going south, the weather is cool, and she has not yet entered the city, and the cool breeze hit, which can't help but make people shiver, and the princess reminded her to bring warm clothes.
Weicheng near the sea, I heard that there is a lot of seafood, Nan Xinuo is a little greedy, she has not eaten crabs, scallops, abalone and sea cucumbers for a long time.
In the snow season, there is a perennial frost and snow, and there is no chance to eat delicious seafood. In her previous life, she had only eaten it once, but now that she has come to Weicheng, she has to taste the taste of crabs and lobsters again!
Therefore, as soon as the carriage arrived in Weicheng, Nan Xinuo put on a cloak and came down, and she had to take a good look at which restaurant had delicious seafood.
"Wow, Weicheng is worthy of being Haicheng, and the jewelry sold here includes shells, which are very different from our gemstone hairpins, and look unique." Night Foam Sakura's eyes lit up as she looked at the various new jewelry displayed on the stall, especially the string of blue bead shell bracelets.
Nan Xinuo has never had much interest in jewelry, but she will still take a few more looks at good-looking things, these jewelry made of shells and pearls are really good-looking, seeing that Ye Mo Sakura likes it, she also selected a few pieces to give to Wen Qianwen.
Shangguan Ling is naturally not interested in jewelry, but Ye Mo Sakura is choosing, and it is difficult for him to go away, after all, he still has to stay and pay the bill.
"Yun Shizi should be there with Zheng Taishou now, I heard that Zheng Gongzi has found something, so let's go to the other garden at this time, it is estimated that Yun Shizi is not here."
"Well, so, we don't have to rush back to the other garden."
Nan Xinuo glanced at Ye Mo Sakura, saw her happily looking at the bracelet on her wrist, smiled slightly, and heard Shangguan Ling say this, so he smiled lightly.
"Let people send the luggage to the other garden first, let's go to the restaurant to have a good meal, otherwise we will be busy these days, but we will not have time to eat."
Shangguan Ling nodded in agreement, he also thought so, they all said that the seafood in Weicheng is a delicacy in the world, especially the pearl scallops in Juxian Lou, as well as abalone and sea cucumber, which makes people drool when they think about it.
Ye Mo Sakura heard that there was something delicious, so she took Nan Xinuo's arm and went straight to Juxian Tower, and after Xiao Er put all the dishes on it, she couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and clip a scallop, and after eating the meat inside, she felt as if she had flown to the fairy palace.
"It's delicious!"
Seeing that Ye Mo Ying threw down the chopsticks and started directly, Nan Xinuo pursed his lips and smiled, and he also sandwiched a piece of abalone, and he also felt that it was delicious, the seafood in this Juxian Building was indeed delicious!
"Have you heard? He Yuanwai died last night, he was fine yesterday, but he died in the study early this morning, I heard that his face was still ruddy, if he didn't breathe, it would be like falling asleep, and he couldn't find the reason. ”
"Recently, our Weicheng has really not been peaceful, and so far there have been seven officials who have died mysteriously one after another, and they are still in high positions, and now there is a member of He."
"That's right! Even Taishou is dead, but it's a pity, Zheng Taishou is a rare good official! ”
Suddenly listening to the regretful voices of the people at the table opposite, and listening to them talk about the mysterious death of the official, Nan Xinuo couldn't help but listen carefully, after all, she also wanted to help Yun Shizi when she came here.
"Yes! Our Weicheng was quite peaceful before, why did such a thing happen? Ay! Now that everyone is out of the house, it's okay for a good person to die so strangely, but it's a bit terrible to die one after another officials. ”
"I don't know what's going on, if it weren't for the fact that the dead were all officials, I would have been scared to wake up in the middle of the night, for fear that I would suddenly die."
"Not really! I don't dare to go out at night now, so I stay in the house obediently! ”
"Hey! There was such a big thing, a big night, who would dare to go out for a walk! I can't stay at home obediently, and I have to have someone around me, otherwise I don't dare to sleep. ”
"Now everyone in Weicheng is in danger, which makes everyone panic, if there is no result, I guess I will have to go to my aunt's house for a few days, this Weicheng is not good to stay any longer."
"Yes, I think so too, my father is planning to let me go to Bao'an County in front of me to live, and I will come back after Weicheng is peaceful."
"Now everyone doesn't dare to live in Weicheng, although it is said that it is the officials who die, but can we be guaranteed to come one day? If a dignified official dies so quietly, aren't we, the common people, powerless? ”
"Hey! That's not the case. So Luo San and his family moved out yesterday, and I estimate that in a few days, I will have to go to Bao'an County to see my eldest sister. ”
"Although the imperial court sent Yun Shizi, not only did he not find out the truth now, but another person died."
"You say, why are all the officials who died?"
"It's not an official, does it have to be us little people?"
"I heard that there were no wounds on their bodies, and there were no signs of shaking at the scene, so I couldn't find out the cause of their death. Later, an autopsy was conducted, and a bug was found in their bodies. ”
"Can a bug kill a person?"
"Officials are dying quietly one after another, for fear that there is something sneaky."
"Could it be a warning from the sea god?"
"No, no, no, if it's the sea god's warning, then we have fled to other places, and it will not help."
"It's like, it can't be a warning from the sea god!"
……
Listening to their words, the corners of Nan Xinuo's eyebrows furrowed, a little surprised, "Is the matter so serious that they have to move?" ”
Shangguan Ling also frowned, "I heard that many people have already left Weicheng, after all, so many officials have died, and it is reasonable for everyone to be frightened." ”
"And what do they mean by Poseidon's warning?" Nan Xinuo frowned.
"This, I don't know very well, I just heard a few words, saying that there is a sea temple not far south of Weicheng, and the people of Weicheng respect the sea god very much, because they think that the sea god has given them so many treasures in the sea, so they can survive."
Shangguan Ling thought for a while and continued, "Every year on the day before the sea opens to welcome the harvest, they will go to the Sea Lot Temple to worship, in order to ask for the blessing of the sea god and a good harvest. ”
"It's time to worship, otherwise where would you get so much delicious food." Night Mo Sakura ate the abalone and nodded in agreement.
Nan Xinuo saw that Ye Mo Sakura was holding a crab in her hand and eating abalone in her mouth, smiled helplessly, poured her a cup of tea, just thinking about the sea god, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
After hearing a few more words about them leaving Weicheng, and without hearing any important news, Nan Xinuo withdrew his attention, and when he saw that Ye Mo Ying had almost eaten, they went back to Yun Shizi's other garden.
Originally, they were supposed to live in the mansion, but knowing that Nan Xinuo was coming, they were worried that she would not be used to living in the yamen, so Yun Shizi asked people to buy another garden.
This garden is still the Lan family's, after all, the other garden of their own people lives at ease, the courtyard of four in and four out, the structure is elegant, the key garden is not far from the yamen, and it is also convenient to do things.
