Chapter 123: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

In addition, Ruyue paced between Lu Yun and the man in two steps, glanced at Lu Yun, and shouted at the man: "Good men don't fight with women, you look like a scoundrel, it's really ugly." ”

Gui Zhi hugged Lu Yun behind him and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Yun's cheeks drummed: "As soon as I went out, I heard him chew his tongue behind his back, saying that our shopkeeper is a murderer......"

Speaking of this, Lu Yun suddenly let go of her voice and shouted at the man: "Our shopkeeper is innocent, she is the most upright and kind, and the government has not convicted her, why are you talking nonsense here." ”

Gui Zhi understands that Lu Yun is the most loyal to Jin Xiaolou, and she can't listen to others gossip about her, this is just a moment of anger, just talking to a person with a broken mouth.

Hurriedly stroked Lu Yun's back and comforted her: "Okay, don't meet such people." There are many people in the world who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and if you argue with them one by one, there will never be a day of peace. ”

After that, he glanced at the man opposite and pulled the sleeve of Guo Ruyue's shirt: "Go back, don't bother talking." ”

When the man saw that the three of them ignored him and turned to leave, he lifted his sleeves and robes, and hurriedly spoke again: "A group of hypocritical women, rats in the stinking ditch, you are not even as good as the prostitutes in the kiln!" ”

"You!" Lu Yun broke free of Gui Zhi's hand, so angry that he almost cried, "Listen, what kind of dirty words he is talking nonsense!" ”

The man was even more energetic when he saw Lu Yun's appearance: "Why, as a woman, she is not at home with her husband and children, and she comes out to do business like a prostitute. ”

Lu Yun was so angry that he spread his legs and was about to grab the man's face, but Ruyue desperately stopped him: "He's just a scoundrel, squirting feces all over his mouth, what do you care about him!" ”

"Lin'er is alone in the house, let's go back quickly!" Guizhi also came up to stop him.

No matter how much the man scolded, the three of them just walked home and never looked back.

It's just that Lu Yun was already so angry that she cried her face, and wiped her tears angrily as she walked.

As soon as he entered the house, Gui Zhi went to the inner room to see Lin'er, who knew that when he looked at it, the big bed covered with bedding was empty.

Gui Zhi's face turned white, and he reached out and touched the mattress, which was still hot.

Running out of the yard and looking left and right, the small door in the backyard was ajar and shaking.

Gui Zhi hurriedly chased out, and as soon as he got out, he saw that in the alley, the figure of a woman in gray holding a child was about to turn around the corner.

Gui Zhi pulled his legs and chased after him, but the woman was petite and ran fast, she should be a native of Xinning, and she knew this alley well.

Just as I didn't know what to do, my heart felt like it was on fire, and I saw a flying stone thrown from nowhere, and it just hit the back of the woman's head.

The woman buried her head, her legs were weak, and she fell straight down, and Lin'er fell to the ground, tearing open her throat and crying.

Gui Zhi hurriedly ran over, quickly picked up Lin'er, looked carefully several times, and saw that the child was fine, so he was relieved.

Just as he was about to raise his eyes to find the man who threw the stone, he saw Chixiao jump off the wall and walk towards him.

Gui Zhi was a little stunned, and after a while, he bowed slightly, saluted, and said gratefully: "Thank you eldest brother for saving the child." ”

Chixiao waved his hand: "What big brother, I'm just an obedient person, if Miss Guizhi wants to thank you, go and thank our fifth master." ”

"Fifth Master?" Gui Zhi took a deep breath, "How did he know that Lin'er was in danger?" ”

Chixiao smiled: "The fifth master is not a fortune teller, he just ordered me to take care of your safety at all times." ”

"This ......" Gui Zhi lowered his head, "Then Brother Lao Chixiao will thank the fifth master for me." ”

"I can't replace it!" Chixiao hurriedly shook his head, "Why don't you go with me and thank the fifth master in person, forget it, the fifth master hasn't seen the girl for a few days." ”

Gui Zhi hugged Lin'er tightly, looking a little embarrassed: "It's still not possible, the family doesn't know Lin'er's safety, I'm afraid that they will be worried, I have to go back quickly." ”

"It doesn't matter!" Chixiao continued, "I'll send you a letter back, make sure they can rest assured." ”

Seeing that Gui Zhi was still hesitant and slightly moved, Chixiao joked: "What, does the girl have to be stingy even with a word of thanks?" ”

"No, it's not." Gui Zhi raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in response, "That...... I'll take you with you. ”

……

In the mansion, Jin Xiaotao slammed the teacup to the ground, and the broken porcelain pieces fell on the back of the kneeling man's hand, marking blood marks.

"What a useless thing!" Jin Xiaotao was vicious, "All the good things are in vain, I knew that you were useless like this, it would be easier to poison that evil seed with a bag of rat medicine!" ”

The man on the ground trembled and said in a trembling voice, "They...... There's someone behind them! Ali was smashed to the point that her brain burst out...... When I arrived, the corpses were cold......"

"Get down!" Jin Xiaotao beckoned, and Ling Chunzhu came to her, "You took the medicine given by Gu Langzhong and told him to take it." ”

"Yes." Chunzhu turned to get the medicine, and Cuizhu grabbed the man's hair and broke his mouth open.

As soon as the man wanted to struggle, he listened to Jin Xiaotao: "If you don't want to die, don't move, it's better to be dumb than dead!" ”

The man's face was so frightened that his face was as pale as earth, but he didn't dare to move any longer, and let someone pour the bitter medicinal powder into his mouth, and the hot touch extended from his tongue to his stomach, so painful that he wanted to hit his head on the mahogany pillar in front of him......

"I'm going to enter Beijing tomorrow, and I really don't have a chance right now." Jin Xiaotao sighed.

Chunzhu hurriedly said: "The young lady will be rich and prosperous in the future, and that Jin Xiaolou is just a restaurant, is it possible that she is still afraid of her?" If she dares to bring her son to the capital, it is easier for you to pinch her to death than to pinch an ant to death, young lady, and you can't be angry with her now. ”

Jin Xiaotao nodded: "Your mouth can speak." ”

But come to think of it, even if Jin Xiaolou raised that evil seed, would she still be able to find the capital? She is not familiar with the place, and she is afraid that she has already gained a firm foothold in the capital, and it is not easy to destroy a carefree foreigner?

Then half of his anger was dissipated, and he instructed Cuizhu to bring the new Sanqing tea.

Cuizhu hurriedly answered, pushed open the door and walked out.

The cold air in the yard is getting stronger and thicker.

Cuizhu rubbed her hands, and it seemed that she glanced at the hoarfrost roof not far away, and trotted all the way through the moon cave door.

On the roof covered with hoarfrost, Gao Lang lay there on his back, next to Chang'an, who was half-squatting.

Looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, Gao Lang let out a breath of white gas, stretched out his hand, and hooked the white gas into a half-moon shape, and the white gas quickly dissipated in the air.

"Seventh Master, do you think they will really do it tonight?" Chang'an asked softly.

Gao Lang let out another breath, and the half-moon-shaped white qi reminded him of Jin Xiaolou's pale side face when he lowered his head slightly.

I don't know what she's doing now, whether she listened to her own words and found out the Ruyi case.

"They're only tonight." Gao Lang said lightly, "The prince will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning, take the waterway, and the escort ship is special, easy to defend and difficult to attack." Only tonight is the best time, and there is the scapegoat of justice, I think he will not let go. ”

"If the prince is allowed to return to the capital, it will be even more difficult to do it again, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will show flaws, which is the crime of killing the king, and he can't afford it."

After Gao Lang finished speaking, he rubbed his eyes and looked at the crescent moon that appeared after the clouds floated.

It was still early in the morning, and there was a half-round jade-white crescent moon hanging in the bright daylight.

Somehow, my heart suddenly panicked.

Gao Lang had never felt like this, sat up, turned his face to Chang'an and said, "You are here to guard, I will come when I go." ”

Chang'an bowed his head, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Where is the seventh master going?" ”

Gao Lang raised his eyebrows: "No matter so much, the prince has to have the slightest difference, I'll ask you!" ”

"Yes!" Chang'an hurriedly bowed his hand.

……

Jin Xiaolou looked at the crescent moon revealed in mid-air, standing at the door of the yamen, waiting for his hands and feet to be icy.

I don't know how long I waited, but the old master finally came out.

Jin Xiaolou hurriedly went up: "How is it, can Da Chun explain?" ”

The old lord Bo shook his head.

Although it was an expected result, Jin Xiaolou's heart still sank: "That...... What's the matter with the injury on his foot? ”

The old lord Bo said slowly: "It was said that Qiuyue Restaurant was repaired a few days ago, and a wooden board full of nails fell in the corner, so he accidentally stepped on it." ”

"The shopkeeper of Qiuyue Restaurant can testify, and he also took a month's vacation in Dachun because of this."

"Nonsense!" Jin Xiaolou was anxious, "I, the aunt, and I believe there are other people, we have all seen it with our own eyes, and yesterday's big spring was still like flying!" ”

"That's right, Da Chun also said that he felt stupid to step on a nail and hurt his foot, and he has been enduring the pain and pretending to walk normally these days." The old lord Bo sighed, he also felt that this was a bit, but he couldn't say that what he said was false, "He just took two steps for us!" ”

Jin Xiaolou calmed down and tried to find the loophole of Da Chun: "Yesterday, the aunt saw with her own eyes that there were only three wounds on Da Chun's feet, if it had been injured by nails before, how to explain what the aunt saw last night?" ”

"That aunt can't be found anymore." The old lord frowned, "People go to the empty building." ”

"This ......," Jin Xiaolou said, "There are so many coincidences, it's not obvious that it is Da Chun and that Tong Song's ghost!" Otherwise, how could the aunt not see? ”

"It's true that Da Chun is also a suspect, pressed in the yamen, but there is no evidence to convict him." Nian Zhubo glanced at Jin Xiaolou.

Jin Xiaolou bowed his shoulders, and now Da Chun, like himself, has become a suspect who cannot be convicted.

Then it can only be seen whether they find Da Chun's evidence first, or Da Chun and they first forge the evidence to frame themselves.

Although Jin Xiaolou was full of troubles, he went around to the shop to see Gui Zhi's new wedding dress before going home.

When I saw the embroidery girl show off the red wedding dress embroidered with silver silk, all the troubles were put aside.

Jin Xiaolou's heart became happy, such a glamorous and dazzling wedding dress, Gui Zhi must be the best-looking bride when she wears it.

Fortunately, among so many troubles, there is also this happy event that makes Jin Xiaolou sincerely happy.
