Changxing Prefecture is not big, it is not small, Zhizhou Mansion is three streets away from Tongqing Inn, and there is a Qingquan Temple on the street adjacent to the inn.

It was on the eve of the Flower Dynasty Festival, and because the temple fair in the city was also set at this time, the road was already crowded early in the morning.

Daning Gaozu is the world immediately, tracing back to history, the ancestors of the original bloodline of the Hu people in the north, after the founding of the country, the folk customs are open, the annual flower festival, regardless of the north and south of the river are very grand.

How grand is it? It's not yet the official festival, and even the stalls selling breakfast on the street are full.

Du gradually arrived in front of the inn, pointed to the tavern opposite and said to Yang Chan: "You go first, I'll go get a few catties of wine, and let's drink two cups tomorrow night." ”

Yang Chan has always loved wine and has no objections.

When he arrived at the tavern, the shopkeeper came over with his thick waist, took the money and immediately went down to sell wine.

Du gradually took a pinch of walnut kernels on the counter, pinched off the thin coat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Shop, come to three catties of flower carving."

As soon as the two walnuts came into their mouths, another person came beside them.

When Du gradually heard this sound, he stopped chewing and turned his head to look.

This man also looked over, swept his half-hanging eyebrows to his chin and upper body, and then looked at the shopkeeper who came to answer the call: "I want the first pot of water to boil the spirits, please help me get three gourds and divide them." ”

Du gradually retracted his gaze, swallowed the walnut in his mouth, but he couldn't hold back, and turned his head over again: "The official saying is good." Yanjing people? ”

Changying glanced at him, but he didn't say anything, and the five fingers of his right hand rested on the table and knocked leisurely.

Du gradually pondered for a while, looked at her fingers again, and saw the palm that was inadvertently exposed when she pulled the hair out of her cuffs, and the few calluses at the base of her fingers were very obvious.

After a pause, he asked again: "Lian Jiazi?" ”

Changying stopped her fingertips and squinted at the man.

"Boss, the fifth master, they're looking for you!"

As soon as he opened the stance, Huang Ji walked in quickly from outside the door.

Changying looked at Du Yan deeply, took out a piece of broken silver and took the wine from the store.

Du gradually looked at her back, still thoughtful.

"The little girl is good-looking, but she looks like she has a good temper." The shopkeeper smiled as he leaned over the counter.

Du gradually smiled and said nothing, took a sip of tea, took the wine and left.

Changying walked out of the store and walked straight towards Qingquan Temple.

The street is only five or six feet wide, and it is the main road leading to the main street of Qingquan Temple, and it is only for pedestrians to enter and exit on weekdays, and the carriage and sedan car need to stop at the street corner.

At present, the road is already crowded, and the sellers of rouge pollen and those who sell cut cakes are fighting for land, and the necks of those who sell bean buns and those who sell dim sum stretch out to attract customers.

The temple is also full of incense today, the sky is bright at this moment, it is the moment when the ladies of the various provinces burn the incense out of the temple, the temple gate is simply difficult to walk.

Changying walked up to the vendor selling lanterns and was slapped twice on the shoulder from behind.

She turned and raised her eyes, the usual serious face of the young man in front of her, he winked, and then disappeared into the crowd behind her head.

Changying walked over with him, stopped under the relatively secluded wall, and asked, "How is it?" ”

Although the young man who had just turned sixteen no longer wore brocade clothes, the nobility in his eyebrows and eyes had not faded.

He said: "Because this group of people is in time for the Flower Dynasty Festival, the traders from all over the country do not come and go too frequently, so they have not attracted anyone's attention.

"But I stared at them for most of the night, and I saw that they had come into contact with three or four people before and after, so it should be the one who came to connect."

Changying looked in the direction he was pointing, and a few stalls selling porcelain were very deserted, but the stall owner didn't care, Xiao Ma Zha was sitting, Xiao Long Bao was eating, and a pair of eyes were flexible and tight, shuttling back and forth at the temple gate.

"They are staring at Cheng Xiao's wife, and she also came to incense this morning."

Feng Shaoqing said, his eyes glanced at the ladies at the gate of the temple for a few rounds, and then raised his chin at the two middle-aged women: "Oh, come out." The woman in the purple shirt on the left is. ”

Changying saw the target smoothly, and also saw the eyes of those people who seemed to be glued to Mrs. Cheng.

"If your prediction was correct, then they must have come from Mrs. Cheng to find an opportunity to break into the mansion." Shaoqing said, "After all, although the Zhizhou Mansion is small, it is not so easy to kill seventeen or eighteen people in the mansion without alarming others."

"And I heard that Cheng Xiao also got two very good guards not long ago."

Changying nodded, and stuffed the wine gourd to him: "If the other party wants to start, he will definitely count these two guards as well." But they didn't necessarily target Mrs. Cheng to find a chance in her. ”

Seeing that Shaoqing was still waiting for her to follow, she smiled and said, "I'll tell you in detail when I go back to the inn." ”

Shaoqing had to be patient, and asked her again: "Are you really sure that they will do it tomorrow night?" ”

"Yes." She said: "As long as there are no other accidents, we can be sure that not only will we do it tomorrow night, but we can also determine the time to do it tomorrow night." ”

After speaking, she looked at the side again: "What about them?" ”

Shaoqing pointed not far away: "Where is it!" ”

I saw that the little girl in rose-colored clothes was being pestered by a few strange people, and the other party drew on the back of her hand with a pen in a flattering manner, and said in a whisper: "The color is very beautiful, it can't be washed off with water, it must be this, and the special potion scrubs!" Draw it, it's beautiful, it's beautiful! ”

And Huang Ji, who had just walked over, was also entangled.

Zi Yan saw the long tassels, and was impatient to pull with them, and with a twitch of his hand, a person pulled his leg and came over first.

"A few outsiders, peddled what paint painted on their bodies, they are so annoyed!" She grumbled. After speaking, he took out a talisman bag from his cuff and gave it to Changying: "I asked for a peace charm for the girl in the temple just now!" ”

"Why did you suddenly ask for a charm?" Changying then looked at it.

"Don't you always sleep hard at night, I heard that the Bodhisattvas in this temple are very effective, and they can keep safe."

Changying hummed and put it into her purse. Her unsteadiness can't even help the Bodhisattva, but she can't disappoint the people around her.

She said, "Tell me about your side. ”

Zi Yan said: "They arrived in Changxing from the waterway three days ago, and one of them is named Boss Hu, who should be the leader." All of them listened to this Hu Boss's ......"

After listening to all the news, Changying saw that the crowd around her was getting denser and denser, so she said, "It's almost, let's withdraw." After coming out for so long, Zhou Liang must have been waiting at the inn in a hurry. - Go and call Huang Ji back! ”

"Boss!"

As soon as the words fell, suddenly there was a deliberately suppressed voice from far and near, and with a wrong eye, Zhou Liang had already trotted to him:

"Cheng Xiao didn't know where he got the news, about two quarters of an hour ago he sent someone to the inn to welcome us! Now that people are in the store, what should I do?! ”
