Xu Ning just laughed and didn't say anything at all, but he knew that it was too late.

Those who framed his master to death can't be found now, and his master has been dead for so long, and now he is not even innocent, and there is no way to open the case.

However, this topic quickly turned over, Zhuang Siyan talked about something else, Xu Ning didn't screw in this matter, and then ate his leftover buns.

By the time the three of them had eaten and returned to the street, it was already the hottest time of the day.

There were too many pedestrians, and the dust on the streets was raised, and the sun was heavy, and the air was full of the smell of dirt and people's sweat.

Zhuang Siyan and the others squeezed half a street, so they decided to give up, and decided to go back to the inn first, or find a teahouse or something to stay in, and wait until it was not so hot before coming out for activities.

Xu Ning spoke first: "Let's go to the teahouse, there are many people there and there are many topics, maybe you can hear some news." ”

As he was talking, a teahouse appeared in front of him, and it seemed that the flow of people was really lively, and the three of them turned in.

The tea house is divided into three floors, and the first floor drinks tea and listens to stories.

The middle of the second floor is empty, and you can see the stage on the first floor, with tables and chairs surrounded by a circle around the edge.

On the third floor is a private room, which is reserved for those who come to talk about things, and of course the conditions are better and the price is more expensive.

There were so many people on the first floor that it was too crowded, and it was a little hotter than the outside.

An old man sits in the middle, holding an erhu in his hand, and a small drum and allegro are placed beside him.

The two and a half old little girls followed the music he played, babbling and singing for a while before going down, and then automatically took the instrument in the old man's hand, sat on the chair, and played and played.

The old man stroked his beard and began to tell the story.

What Zhuang Siyan didn't expect was that what he said turned out to be the story of the supernatural and unsolved cases of Luo Hecheng, with a strong sense of rhythm and twists and turns, which tempted the audience to open their mouths and stare at them, and they all gasped when they were nervous.

After the music stopped, he closed his voice, bowed to the people at the scene, and let others throw the copper plate onto the stage.

Zhuang Siyan and the others had already gone up to the second floor, and after listening to one of his stories in full, they could see that someone could still listen to the play.

Most of the men ordered two little girls to sing.

There were also a few businessmen from other places who were interested in the story of Luo Hecheng, so they paid the old man to talk about the girl.

The business turned out to be surprisingly good, but in a moment, the old man threw a lot of broken silver into the bag he picked up, and Xu Ning's eyes straightened.

"That's too good to be made, isn't it? We also have this kind of industry in Beijing, but no one listens to it? ”

Zhuang Siyan still looked down with his eyes, and replied to him casually: "The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, some things can't be said nonsense, and those things that are decent can't be attractive when they are said, so it's better to be drunk and dream of death, and it's yourself who is degenerate, and you won't do anything." ”

Xu Ning's eyes involuntarily turned to her.

He can see it, this Master Si, age and heart are not at all compatible, what she said is sophisticated and mature, with that good-looking baby face, that is, she came out to deceive the ignorant girl.

While they were talking, a little girl had already taken up her job and began to sing again.

Zhuang Siyan didn't understand what she was singing, but it was also very good to listen to the rhyme, so she listened patiently.

They drank this tea from the afternoon until dusk, and after the night fell, the teahouse not only did not fall out of the cold, but became more lively, and the three grandchildren on the stage were also replaced by two beauties.

is also singing and dancing, but it is a different style from the three grandfathers and grandchildren.

Xu Ning saw that they made a wave of silver, and another wave of silver, and they changed a batch of people, and then changed another batch, only to see more and not less, and actually said to Zhuang Siyan: "I decided to go back and do this." ”

When Zhuang Siyan heard this, he withdrew his gaze, looked at him and asked, "You?" Do this? ”

Xu Ning said "um", picked up his previous words and said: "It's okay to open a teahouse, with the model here, maybe you can get rich quickly." ”

Zhuang Siyan's eyes slanted when he looked at him: "Brother Xu, it's not me talking about you, even if you really give you a place like this, you can't get it, otherwise you can tell me a story yourself."

Oh no, you go down there and tell a story to listen to, so that those people can hear the screams, and even if you win.

Let's go back to Beijing, and I'll pay you to set up a teahouse like this, even if you save a wife. ”

As soon as Xu Ning heard this, he immediately asked, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course it's true, when did I tell a lie?"

Xu Ning got this, and without saying a word, he walked towards the staircase.

Zhuang Siyan didn't see him go to the boss, nor did he see how he talked to people, anyway, after the girl who talked about it finished dancing, the middle of the stage was cleared, and Xu Ning went up.

This is a newcomer, and the people who often mingle with the teahouse know it at a glance, so they start whispering, and some people even ask him what he will say.

Xu Ning was not shy, put up a shelf, and told them a story about the capital as if he were telling a story.

It is said that one year, before October in the capital, heavy snow began to fall.

It was called a big one, and it was no knee overnight, so pedestrians couldn't go out, shops couldn't open, and the children were still running in the streets one night, and the next day they were all curled up in the bed.

Because it was getting cold all of a sudden, they didn't even get out of the cotton clothes.

The streets were sparsely populated, and the city was deserted, when suddenly a shout came from afar.

The common people who had good deeds were busy opening the windows, so they saw several handsome black horses, with four hooves and snowflakes walking through the streets of the capital.

What are these people here for? Why is it so urgent?

It turns out that there are dead people in the moat outside the city.

Hearing this, Zhuang Siyan probably already knew what he was talking about.

Xu Ning told the bank of the moat at a different time and in a different way.

However, he really had a talent for this, and the people who listened to it all looked up and marveled, and finally asked him: "Have you found the things in the river, and have anyone recognized the corpses in the river?" ”

At this time, there was a sudden low sobbing from the crowd.

Following everyone's gaze, Zhuang Siyan saw a woman holding a teenage boy in her hand because she was in a high place, wiping her tears uncontrollably.

The people here are really hot and eventful, so they asked her what was going on.

After asking a lot, the woman said that her husband was going to the capital, and I heard that he also went to the moat to repair the bridge, and then he had not been seen for all these years, and he did not write to his family, thinking that he had died to the bottom of the river as mentioned in Xu Ning's story.

With that, the essence of the story changed instantly.

It turned out that everyone thought that Xu Ning was just telling a story, but at this time they actually felt that it was really something, and then there were people who had been to the capital, and when they heard some news, they also began to discuss, and for a while, the stage in the middle was vacant, just listening to the conversation of the people.

Xu Ning took this opportunity to return to the second floor, sat down in front of Zhuang Siyan and asked, "How is it?" I'm okay, I won't starve to death if I eat this bastard, right? ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "No, but I'm worried that you will be killed here in a while, don't say you know us." ”

As he spoke, he picked up Qingfeng and left, leaving Xu Ning alone at the table.

She and Qingfeng are martial arts, and they took advantage of Xu Ning's inattention to get up, and as soon as they left the table, they quickly went down the stairs and walked outside.

At this time, those who had heard Xu Ning's story below had all rushed up the stairs to ask him about the specific situation in the moat.

Even if Xu Ning reacted in his brain, his hands and feet were not good, and he was surrounded by everyone all of a sudden, and asked him gossipingly.

asked him to the first two big, and in the end he could only say that he had heard about it, and he was not from the capital, and he explained it several times before those people let him go.

Even so, by the time he walked out of the teahouse, the night had already fallen, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the street.

And Zhuang Siyan and Qingfeng are not there.

Xu Ning muttered that the two of them were not righteous, and walked to the inn where they lived, anyway, a big man's family has nothing to be afraid of, and he is not in a hurry.

It's just that when they go out to shop, they don't feel that they have walked several streets as they walked.

When I was about to go back late at night, I found that the road was really long, Xu Ning was a little tired from walking, and ate a bowl of chaos at the roadside stall, and it was almost digested, and it was still there.

As he walked down the street a little bit of the way, he was about to pass quickly, when he suddenly saw a figure flash beside him, followed by a chill in his neck.

The man was dressed in a very wide garment, and he still had a turban on his head in the summer, and his face was covered inside, so he couldn't see what he looked like.

It was only a man who could be heard in his voice, and ordered him, "Don't make a sound, follow me." ”

Xu Ning was really frightened, his legs were a little shaky, don't look at his usual courage during the autopsy, it was because the corpse would not move.

At this time, he was facing a real person, not only holding a hand in his hand, but his skills were not bad, and the most unfortunate thing was that none of the masters they came were by his side.

Zhuang Siyan: They did go back first.

When they returned to the inn, Qing Ran was earlier than them, and they all got up from a nap and were eating downstairs in the inn.

Zhuang Siyan and the others drank tea all afternoon, but they didn't feel hungry, so they would come down to have a brief chat with him, and when they saw him eating, they went upstairs.

Qing Ran asked them in the middle: "What about Xu Ning, why didn't you come back with you?" ”

Zhuang Siyan said with a smile: "He was addicted to storytelling in the teahouse, so we left him there to return to the question of the masses, so we came back first." ”

As soon as Qing Ran heard this, his face was a little bad, and he asked anxiously: "What teahouse, where is it?" ”

As soon as Zhuang Siyan saw his face, he knew that something was wrong, so he made a move in time, and said while walking outside: "Near Zhongshi Street, there is a Juxian Teahouse. ”

"Let's go, I heard that a group of people have come to the city recently, and they are everywhere to catch those who don't return at night, as long as they are taken away, they will not come back, and this group of people appeared near the teahouse."
