044 He's back
Three days later, the new assassin Ruan Daoyuan came to Xiazhou with his family, and the yamen gathered at the gate of the city to greet him, Luo Xuyan followed Xu Yaoyao to stand behind the officials, watching a team of chariots and horses walking along the official road without hurry.
Ordinary people like them were stopped on both sides of the road by the officers and soldiers, but Deng Sima said that the new history of thorns is coming, and there may be some changes in the back hall, so he wants Mr. Feng Shui to take a second look, so he invited the people from the coffin shop to follow.
The other officials didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and they didn't even look at Xu Yaoyao's mother and daughter, just thinking about how to flatter and stammer when the new assassination history arrived.
Luo Xuyan glanced around, and the young official that day was not in the crowd.
Luo Banghao didn't come, saying that he stayed at home to take care of the business.
She was thinking about something when suddenly there was a chorus of hello around her.
"Xiaguan and others greet Ruan Tingshi."
Deng Sima led the officials to bow down and look very respectful.
The fat Ruan Tingshi got out of the car tremblingly, picked up Deng Sima, and said with a smile: "Sima doesn't have to be polite, everyone get up quickly." β
Everyone said a few more polite words, and then went to the yamen in a mighty manner.
Ruan Tingshi did not return to the carriage, but walked along the cleaned street with the officials, talking and waving to the people around him, looking approachable.
I don't know what Deng Sima whispered to Ruan Tingshi, Ruan Tingshi turned around and nodded to Mr. Feng Shui.
Xu Yaoyao was a little worried, "Ah Yan, I still think this matter is inappropriate." β
"Mother," Luo Xuyan took Xu Yaoyao's arm, "But Thorn Shi already knows about this?" β
"Alas," Xu Yaoyao sighed, "how did you become so bold." β
Luo Xuyan couldn't help but think of the mountain bandits in her previous life, she had been pondering, but her strength was too small to find out the whereabouts of this group of people, so she could only contact the people of the yamen, and after gaining their trust, with the help of the power of the yamen, she cleaned up the mountain bandits and blessed the safety of Xiazhou and her own family.
"I'm also planning for the shop." She said.
Xu Yaoyao stared at her daughter, a fifteen-year-old girl's house, and the steadiness exuded from her body was extremely inconsistent with her face that still revealed a trace of immaturity.
The experience in the shop was not enough to make her change so much, and she occasionally found that she couldn't understand Ah Yan.
"Mother." Luo Xuyan saw that her mother was thinking about her heart, and rubbed her arm coquettishly, "Just know a few more friends." β
Xu Yaoyao smiled bitterly: "How can an official of the imperial court take someone like us as a friend." β
Luo Xuyan smiled and didn't speak, she noticed that there was a shadow on the ground that had always kept a short distance from them.
She looked back and couldn't help but be stunned.
The young man sitting on the tall horse was extraordinarily handsome, and the wind blew his robe, dancing like a fairy.
"......" Luo Xuyan thought about it, she hadn't seen Zhao Gongzi for four years, and her "fiancΓ©" only existed between letters and talks in the past four years.
Zhao Ying saw that Luo Xuyan had discovered herself, smiled slightly and then dismounted, "Long time no see, Shopkeeper Xu, Miss Luo." β
"Zhao Gongzi?" Xu Yaoyao was a little surprised, Zhao Gongzi, who had an extraordinary background in Bang Hao's mouth, is now the staff of the new assassin history?
Luo Xuyan said with a little detachment: "Zhao Gongzi is good." β
Zhao Ying led the horse and walked side by side with them, "I am friends with the son of the Ruan Thorn Shi family who studied together, and I came here to join in the fun." Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, I met Shopkeeper Xu and Miss Luo at the city gate. β
Xu Yaoyao said: "Zhao Gongzi, Ah Yan and I have something to do when we go to the Yamen, and if we are free another day, I will definitely invite Zhao Gongzi to my home as a guest." β
Zhao Ying smiled: "I think Mrs. Xu is worried about me, my grandson-in-law, right?" I will definitely go. β
"I'm sorry to trouble Zhao Gongzi." Xu Yaoyao said.
"Shopkeeper Xu doesn't have to be polite." Zhao Yingdao grabbed a little boy who rushed out of the crowd and almost fell.
Luo Xuyan glanced at the helpful Zhao Gongzi, who was very considerate, wiped the dirt on the boy's hands with his sleeve, and then sent it back to the child's mother.
Zhao Gongzi followed their footsteps again and asked, "Why don't you see Mr. Luo?" β
"He's working in the shop." Xu Yaoyao replied, a hint of vigilance flashing in her eyes.
Zhao Gongzi arched his hand and said: "Trouble the shopkeeper Xu to ask Mr. Luo on his behalf." β
Xu Yaoyao nodded.
While talking, they came to the yamen, Zhao Ying looked at the officials who walked into the yamen with a smile, and bowed slightly to Luo Xuyan and Xu Yaoyao, "I have something to do, so I will leave first." β
"Zhao Gongzi, please." Xu Yaoyao said.
Zhao Ying nodded to Luo Xuyan again, and then caught up with the Assassin Shi and them.
Three days ago, Du Cheng, the official who had spoken to Luo Xuyan, quietly came over, "Shopkeeper Xu, our wife invites you to go to the back hall to talk." β
"Okay." Xu Yaoyao answered, took her daughter and Mr. Feng Shui, and Du Cheng entered the yamen from the small door, and went around to the back hall that was temporarily quiet.
Mrs. Ruan kept fanning her fan, calling out "innocent heat".
On the chair next to her sat a young man with a good face, like a scholar.
"Madam, young master, someone is here." Du Cheng said respectfully.
Madame Ruan seemed to see a savior, dropped her fan, pounced on her and asked, "All the way over, have you noticed anything unusual?" β
Luo Xuyan looked at the feng shui gentleman beside him, and he said, "No." β
Mrs. Ruan said eagerly: "Look at the layout of the house again, have you ever been tampered with, will it be detrimental to the history of the assassin?" β
"Madame, please be calm and wait a moment." Mr. Feng Shui said calmly, and then looked around the back hall to see if everything was arranged as he said last time.
Mrs. Ruan was as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, "I just ask the master to be safe and secure in Xiazhou, but don't make any more trouble, who is our Ruan family provoking, come all the way ......"
"Mother." The young scholar suddenly spoke up and interrupted Madame Ruan's words.
Mrs. Ruan was stunned and covered her mouth, only then did she remember that what she had just said was a little too much.
She glanced at Xu Yaoyao's mother and daughter twice, and smiled awkwardly.
Luo Xuyan didn't seem to hear her words at all, but it was very clear in her mind - someone wanted to kill Ruan Tingshi.
Otherwise, why did the set date of taking office change, and why was the incense pill in the back hall adulterated with poison, slowly poisoning people's bodies, and unknowingly killing people? Also, although Mrs. Ruan didn't speak, it was clear that she had been chased and killed on the way here.
The so-called wealth is in danger, she squeezed the sandalwood fan in her hand, and Zhao Ying also followed the assassin Shi, it seems that she can take advantage of it.
As long as you can catch that mountain bandit and find out the man behind him!
