Chapter 45: Something Goes Wrong
Shen Lingjun couldn't help but be surprised, his fingers were bent inward, and he pointed to his nose: "Don't tell me, you carve me, right?" ”
Chen Zigong's hand holding the teacup stopped a few inches in front of the tip of his nose, raised his head to 'look' at Shen Lingjun, and smiled lightly: "I don't know how similar it is." ”
Shen Lingjun shook his palm and said with a smile: "I suspect more and more that you are pretending to be blind." ”
Chen Zigong took out another piece of jade from his arms, rubbed his fingertips, felt the familiarity and intimacy brought by the jade, and smiled: "Acquaintance is fate, just take it as a gift from me to you." ”
"In that case, you're welcome." Shen Lingjun is not a hypocritical person, he accepted the things at the moment, and blinked his cunning eyes again: "I didn't prepare any meeting gifts, don't you mind?" ”
Sometimes the interaction between people and people is not the length of time, but whether they fit in with their eyes, for now, Shen Lingjun still has a good impression of Chen Zigong, this person is clean and gentle, and talking to him will calm his mind.
Of course, if it is exchanged for another gift, Shen Lingjun will think more, and suspect what the other party's intentions are, such a piece of jade carved with a human portrait is not valuable, but it is more valuable than the surface value, it can be seen that Chen Zigong is sincere fellowship, and Shen Lingjun will not brush the other party's intentions.
Chen Zigong chuckled, shook his head and said: "It's my honor to know each other in the vast sea of people, and I hope to see you next time." ”
Shen Lingjun frowned: "Are you leaving Changzhou?" ”
Just now, Chen Zigong mentioned that he would leave in a few days, thinking that he was talking casually, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Found the person you're looking for?"
Chen Zigong's white and slender fingers held the teacup, his bones were distinct, his empty eyes turned to the endless sky, and he sighed lowly: "She has left." ”
Shen Lingjun's dark eyes flashed with doubts, no one was found, how could he be sure that the other party was in Changzhou City, and now he left?
However, although Shen Lingjun is curious, she is not as excessive as Tang Tang, especially the privacy of others, she doesn't like to get to the bottom of it.
Where the line of sight is, the man sits alone in the grass house, Tsinghua is noble, and it is rare in the world to compare with him, he is the beautiful son of the turbid world, not stained with dust, and independent.
It's just that Shen Lingjun saw the faint sadness in the man's expression, as well as the loneliness that seemed to be nothing.
A lonely person, Shen Lingjun shook his head and made a definition in his heart.
"The sky pays off, and I believe you will find that person one day." Shen Lingjun, who was not good at comforting, couldn't help but say a word when he saw the loneliness and sadness that shrouded the man's body.
"Well, thank you." Chen Zigong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled back, and his warm face gave people a warm and comfortable spring breeze.
Before leaving, Shen Lingjun pondered for a moment, and said with a slight relief: "I am indeed interested in that immortal club, if I stop by the way, I will help you see if Wanqingshan's death is really related to it." ”
Chen Zigong didn't have much expression, he was still as gentle and elegant as a gentleman: "Okay." ”
He didn't say much, if the rumors were true, he believed that sooner or later the truth would be revealed in the hands of the woman in front of him, and he also had a hunch that that day was not far away.
Shen Lingjun returned to the inn, Tang Tang pouted and strongly expressed her dissatisfaction, it was obvious that someone directly ignored it and closed the door to sleep.
Originally, Zhou Shaoqing let Shen Lingjun live in the prefect's yamen, but according to Shen Lingjun's personality of not liking trouble, it is of course best that he doesn't have to worry about all the food and drink.
But now she feels that this small Changzhou City really hides a lot of secrets, and she feels more and more interesting, so she decides that it is more convenient to investigate secretly, so she and Tang Tang found a small inn in Changzhou City, which is not too small and is still clean.
Recently, the business of each inn has been extremely hot, and they have been running a few places, and people have told them that there is no house.
After doing this three times twice, not only did Tang Tang's patience run out, but Shen Lingjun also became angry, and waved his hand at Tang Tang: "Find a way to get it." ”
Tang Tang's speed was not blown, Shen Lingjun drank half a bowl of tea at the tea stall outside, and decisively settled on two rooms.
Shen Lingjun was still puzzled, she didn't see that the troublemaker was quite efficient, and when she approached the guest room, her face turned black.
On the bed, on the table, on the floor, and something that was still crawling in the window, I understood why.
You don't have to guess to know how many reptiles Tang Tang summoned to scare people away directly.
"How?" Tang Tang looked inviting, blowing the hair on his forehead, and his smugness was basically the same as Zhao Qi's demeanor after he successfully dedicated himself to Ye Qingzhi.
Shen Lingjun's face darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, and he took a deep breath: "Change the bedding!" ”
This night, Shen Lingjun slept quite steadily, the only thing that was a little bad was that the bed was too hard and his neck was a little stiff.
Early in the morning, Shen Lingjun rubbed her neck and opened the window, her room was against a street in Changzhou City, and there were already a lot of stalls outside in the morning, especially the breakfast stalls, which were steaming hot, and the air was full of the fragrance of gluttonous insects.
Leaned lazily against the edge of the window frame and yawned, thinking that the goblin next door should get up, the two of them went out to find something to eat, Jiangnan food is not only exquisite and delicious, but also has many styles, and the food is rich, less and fine.
In terms of food, Shen Lingjun has the most right to speak, people travel around, from south to north, all to increase experience, she has one purpose, eat!
If it was the first time she secretly ran out of the mountain alone, harming countless people, stirring up the entire Jianghu martial arts unpeaceful, and finally involving the royal family, the original reason was just to eat all over the world, and there was no grand goal, it is estimated that many people will vomit blood when they hear it.
You can eat well, how can you eat and eat, and almost didn't set off a martial arts catastrophe?
If other people knew, they would definitely twitch the corners of their mouths to look at her, they would be even more troublesome than Tang Tang!
Shen Lingjun stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes because of yawning, and stood up straight and prepared to go downstairs, but he heard several loud shouts, and then, the originally chaotic and orderly street suddenly became chaotic.
When the probe looked out, he heard someone shouting, "Something's wrong, something is wrong!" ”
Shen Lingjun's eyes rolled, and his gaze fell precisely on the person who was yelling, it was a thin young man, wearing an ordinary gray cloth coat, his face was dark, and his skin was slightly rough.
Fingers on the windowsill, habitually examined, as far as she could see, the young man had thick bones, although he was not very old, but his face was full of wind and frost, and he saw that he was doing some manual work on weekdays, with an axe in his hand, and a few circles of hemp rope wrapped around his waist, it was not difficult to guess that he should be a woodcutter.
I saw that he looked flustered, a layer of sweat on his forehead was rolling, and when he spoke, his hands were dancing, and he was a little incoherent, as if he was frightened.
"It's dead, it's all dead, hanging on the drum tower, I was just about to go out to chop wood, and I saw it all......"
The following people also listened to an inexplicable and non-believable question:
"Who died?"
"You're saying that the government hangs death row prisoners on the drum tower, it's not right, I haven't heard that important prisoners have been executed recently."
"It's to make it clear, I'm in a hurry to die!"
……
"It's dead, it's all dead...... the young man's swarthy face turned blue, his chest rose and fell because of running, and after repeating the same words several times, he slapped his thigh after a big gasp, and cried out: "Oops! The Lu family is dead! ”
"What Lu family, which Lu family?"
"Come on, let's go see for ourselves."
"Yes, hurry up, it won't be lively anymore."
……
The so-called hot and cold world, no matter whether it is good or bad, as long as it has nothing to do with itself, it is just a lively scene for others.
Hearing the surname Lu, Shen Lingjun frowned, as if he had heard it somewhere, it was a little familiar.
At this time, the door creaked open, revealing Tang Tang's smiling thief's face.
If you want to say that Tang Tang is also this good, emotions are on the face, happy is happy, angry is angry, sleep, nothing is gone, and people who have no heart and lungs don't know what to say.
"Hey, hey, Shen Lingjun, I just heard something." Tang Tang saw that Shen Lingjun had gotten up, he smiled, and jumped in flexibly, looking mysterious.
"There is a dead person in the Drum Tower, and his surname is Lu." Shen Lingjun put his hands on his chest and raised his eyebrows at Tang Tang.
"How do you know?" Tang Tang wrinkled her nose, her face was full of expressions that were not funny at all, she just heard about it when she went downstairs to buy steamed buns, it didn't make sense that Shen Lingjun would have everything under control without leaving home.
Shen Lingjun raised his chin at the window: "Oh, someone outside said it." ”
Tang Tang snorted, poured himself a cup of tea, smoothed his throat choked by buns, and his slightly immature round face brought out a bit of pretend profundity, shook his head and said: "Stupid Central Plains people, they committed suicide after being told a few words, Central Plains people are fragile, I saw that little beauty yesterday is not bad, but now I have become a hanged ghost, the death is too new, I don't even bother to watch the lively ......"
"Wait a minute!" Shen Lingjun grabbed a few keywords in Tang Tang's pile of nonsense, quickly walked to the table, stared at Tang Tang and said, "Who did you just say that committed suicide?" ”
Tang Tang didn't know what Shen Lingjun was excited about, and blinked: "The little girl surnamed Lu I saw at the bridge yesterday." ”
"Lu Yaoyao? Did she kill herself? ”
"Not ......"
Shen Lingjun sat down and took a sip of tea.
"It was their whole family who died together!" Tang Tang spit out a sentence.
"Poof-" Shen Lingjun barely swallowed a mouthful of tea, almost out of breath in pain, and stretched out his finger at Tang Tang, angry and funny.
If you don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately!
When Shen Lingjun calmed down, she learned a piece of information, that is, the Lu family surnamed Lu that she heard from the group of people outside the window just now turned out to be the Lu Yaoyao she saw yesterday.
In this way, Lu Yaoyao's entire family is dead!
