Chapter 52: Shangguan Rou is missing
The morning market in Sinjin Prefecture is bustling with stalls of all kinds for passers-by to choose.
There is a shop selling silk and satin on the street, because of the fresh style and bright color, the business is very good on weekdays, especially the young girls love to patronize, just don't buy it, it's good to see.
But the strange thing is that it's already three o'clock, and the store has not opened for a long time, and the shop guys on the left and right sides of the store have looked at it several times, thinking what is going on.
Shen Lingjun, who didn't get up early, finished breakfast, dragged Su Musha to the market, and finally stopped in front of this silk village.
Shen Lingjun stared at the door panel seriously and pondered carefully: "Is it late to open a store that sells silk and satin?" ”
Su Musha shook his head: "It should be opened at the end of the morning at the latest." ”
Shen Lingjun turned his head, and the guy from the tea shop next door went out to pour water, and glanced at him before he opened the door, and his eyes met.
Shen Lingjun put on a smiling face suitable for all ages, walked over, and said with a friendly face: "Little brother, is it okay to ask something?" ”
This young guy is about the same age as he was in the play, and his face is still childish, which is the age of curiosity.
Seeing such a beautiful big girl as Shen Lingjun, she smiled sincerely, blushed, and nodded: "Yes." ”
Shen Lingjun raised his hand and pointed at the silk village: "Why hasn't this door opened?" ”
"Are you here to buy silk?" The guy asked, and said to himself: "I'm also strange, it stands to reason that the shopkeeper Wang opened the store very early on weekdays, and I don't know what's going on today, it's not open at this hour." ”
Shen Lingjun asked, "Is it just today?" ”
"yes." The young man scratched his head: "If you want to buy silk, you may have to come back tomorrow." ”
Shen Lingjun smiled slightly: "Okay, thank you." ”
In the tea shop, there was a loud roar: "Xiao Maotou, you are lazy again, why don't you hurry up and let Lao Tzu come in and help." ”
The young man hurriedly dropped a sentence in a hurry: "I'm leaving, why don't you ask someone else." He ran back to the tea shop.
Shen Lingjun turned around, Su Musha just stepped up, and the two stood face to face two steps apart.
Shen Ling spread his hands evenly: "It looks like we came unlucky." ”
This silk village was opened by Shangguan's family in Xinjin Mansion, and after Shangguan Rou was attacked, Shen Lingjun asked people to contact them, and someone picked Shangguan Rou away from the inn in the afternoon.
The two of them came over today, originally to find Shangguan Rou to ask about something.
Su Musha thought for a moment and said, "If I remember correctly, Shangguan Mansion has a house in Xinjin Mansion. ”
Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "You even know this? ”
Su Musha looked at her expression and explained, "I heard Shangguan Fei mention it by chance. ”
Shen Lingjun walked in front with his hands behind his back: "Speaking of which, Shangguan Rou's injury is actually not very serious, so there is no need to deliberately close the shop." ”
Su Musha walked beside him and said, "Ling'er, I remember that after Shangguan Rou was attacked, Kagura said to follow the bloodstains until the cliff. ”
Shen Lingjun turned his head sideways: "Yes, could it be that these people are also failed products that have been disposed of, but they just happened to be met by Shangguan Rou?" ”
Su Musha nodded: "It's possible, but why is it daytime." ”
Shen Lingjun also frowned, if it wasn't dark last night, the whistleblower was not easy to hide, wouldn't it be easy to be exposed during the day?
"One more point." Shen Lingjun raised a finger: "Nan Qifeng said that those corpses died at the touch of a button, and Shangguan Rou not only escaped safely, but also showed no traces of poisoning. ”
This is always something that the two of them can't figure out.
According to Shangguan Rou's description, the corpse that attacked her was very similar to the corpse they saw last night, and in the end they all jumped off the cliff according to the order, the question is, how can some of them be poisonous and some of them are not poisonous.
The house is not far from the store, and with Shen Lingjun and Su Mu covering the footsteps of the two, the time for a stick of incense has arrived.
Different from the quiet in the middle of the Suzhou Mansion, this is the downtown entrance, there is a restaurant next to it, and there is a pawnshop opposite.
Shen Lingjun grabbed the iron ring of the gate and knocked three times, that is, someone answered the door.
The person who came had gray and white hair, about fifty years old, raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and said politely: "I don't know who the two distinguished guests are looking for?" ”
"Is Shangguan Rou here?" Shen Lingjun looked past him and looked in, and added by the way: "The injuries on his body are okay, right?" ”
Being able to be a housekeeper, of course, is a person with some brains, and suddenly understood, and said: "Ah, yesterday it was the second miss of our family who was rescued by the two people, and when I went to the inn with others, the second lady said that it was a noble rescue." ”
Then, politeness turned to enthusiasm, and he said again and again: "Please come in, two of you." ”
Shen Lingjun and Su Musha entered one after another, and it can be seen that the inner courtyard is gorgeously decorated, and the ornaments are carefully placed.
The two glanced at each other, Shen Lingjun raised his chin and gestured with his eyes-if you saw it, she almost put the word rich on the door of her head.
Su Musha is not very interested in other people's decorations, originally, whether it is magnificent or fresh and elegant, everything depends on his own preferences.
Shen Lingjun turned his eyes around and put them on the housekeeper: "What about Shangguan Rouren?" ”
I didn't expect the housekeeper's face to change and sighed.
Shen Lingjun blinked, looking at Su Musha-won't he die, right?
The two of them thought at the same time, could it really be poisoned? It's impossible, Ye Qingzhi didn't even see it.
As he was talking, a neutral voice came out from inside: "Uncle Zhong, who is it?" ”
Shen Lingjun pinched his chin - this voice is a little familiar.
Su Musha had already heard it, and said lightly: "Shangguan Fei is here." ”
"Back to the master, the two guests are looking for the second lady." The housekeeper Shangguan Zhong replied there, followed, frowned, and said to Shen Lingjun and Su Musha: "Don't hide it from the two, the second lady is gone." ”
Shen Lingjun was surprised: "What does it mean to be gone?" ”
Shangguan Zhong sighed again and said, "The two of you saved the young lady once, and I only dared to let it in, I don't know if I can help again, and tell my lord about the situation when the young lady was rescued before, so that my lord can have a direction to find someone." ”
As they spoke, Shangguan Zhong led Shen Lingjun and them into the lobby.
Shangguan Fei was sitting and talking with Wanruxi, looking a little anxious. First of all, Shangguan Qing had an accident, and followed Shangguan Rou to disappear, so he was in a hurry.
Therefore, as soon as Shen Lingjun and Su Musha appeared in his sight, in addition to being surprised, he couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Lord Siqing, Jinyan, why are you here?" ”
Shangguan Zhong was also stunned, why, does the master know these two people?
It was as if the west beckoned and asked Shangguan Zhong to go down and make a pot of tea.
Shen Lingjun curled the corners of his mouth and bowed his chin to signal: "Shangguan family master, meet again." ”
Su Musha was more direct: "Let's come to Shangguan Rou." ”
When it came to Shangguan Rou, Shangguan Fei's face was not very good: "We rushed here overnight, only to find that Rou'er was missing. ”
After nightfall yesterday, Shangguan Rou said that she wanted to sleep for a while after eating a few bites of dinner because her spirit was not very good. The maid blew out the candle and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine, according to the doctor's prescription, and took it three times a day, all after meals.
An hour later, the maid knocked on the door with the medicine, but Shangguan Rou did not respond. The maid thought she was asleep, so she asked the housekeeper if she wanted to take the medicine now, or if she would send it over later.
Shangguan Zhong considered that Shangguan Rou was frightened, and he was finally able to sleep for a while, so he asked the maid to send it later.
When it was close to midnight, Shangguan Fei and Wan Ruxi arrived unexpectedly.
Shangguan Zhong was surprised, why did the letter that was sent out so quickly come.
It turned out that Shangguan Rou came to Xinjin Mansion without telling Shangguan Fei and his wife that Shangguan Qing had something to do first, although he felt that Shangguan Rou couldn't do anything out of line, but after the two of them knew, they still hurriedly chased after him.
When they arrived at Xinjin Mansion, Shangguan Fei and his wife were shocked when they heard that Shangguan Rou was almost killed.
After Shangguan Fei drank two sips of tea to warm up, he asked the maid to ask Shangguan Rou to question.
According to the character of Wan Ruxi, I didn't agree, why should I alarm an injured person in the middle of the night, but the maid came over with a medicine bowl, and said that the second lady hadn't drunk the medicine yet, and I didn't know if I would boil it again tomorrow or what.
In the end, Shangguan Zhong asked the maid to knock on Shangguan Rou's door and invite the second lady over.
The maid knocked on the door this time and found that something was wrong, although she had not always served the second lady, but Shangguan Rou had lived here once or twice before, and she remembered that Shangguan Rou slept very lightly.
Once the wild cat hair and spring barked outside all night, Shangguan Rou said that it was too noisy and didn't sleep well all night.
However, this time the knock on the door was so loud, why was there no movement at all?
Suspicious, the maid had the courage to push the door in, and when she saw it, she was immediately shocked - the bed was empty, what about the second lady?
When the matter was finished, the tea in Shen Lingjun's hand was not so hot, she took a sip and said, "So you don't know exactly when you didn't see it?" ”
Shangguan Fei nodded: "Yes, and Uncle Zhong, they are all in the mansion, but they haven't heard any movement, and the kung fu of the people who came must be very high." ”
Shen Lingjun prefers sweets and is not very attentive to tea, so he took a sip and put it next to him, his dark eyes moved slightly, and said, "Are you sure she was taken away by someone, not by herself?" ”
"This ......" Shangguan Fei didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, and said, "Otherwise, where can she go in the middle of the night." ”
Shen Lingjun smiled: "But you're not sure that you don't see you in the middle of the night, what if you leave after the maid leaves?" ”
Shangguan Fei clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on the table, frowning and said, "No, Rou'er is not a person without measure." ”
Ruxi was beside him, and also said: "Yes, besides, I heard that Rou'er is seriously injured, and it is impossible for her to run out alone and not return overnight." ”
Shangguan Fei and Wanruxi glanced at each other, and thought that this Lord Siqing had an opinion on Shangguan Rou?
Su Mu's cold eyes swept over and said lightly: "Ling'er just provides a possibility. ”
Shen Lingjun propped his chin and said, "However, logically speaking, it is indeed impossible for Shangguan Rou to go out alone, unless it is to go to Tingzifang." ”
Shangguan Fei heard something and asked, "What's wrong with Tingzifang?" ”
Shen Lingjun's eyes turned to Su Musha next to him, and said meaningfully: "Tingzifang is not much, but Brother Su and I are just living there temporarily." ”
