Chapter II: Gu Poison Murder Case
"Miss, it's not too early, it's time to get up."
Yun Cui stood at the door with a plate of side dishes and knocked on the door, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.
There was no movement in the room, and the more she waited, the more uneasy Yun Cui became, and finally frowned and decisively pushed open Murong Qin'er's door.
She went straight to the big bed, saw the quilt on the bed neatly folded, and immediately knew that something was wrong.
At this time, Murong Qin'er, who was sitting in the carriage dressed as a man, suddenly sneezed, she rubbed her nose, and muttered a little funny: "It must be that girl Yuncui found out that I sneaked out and scolded me secretly." ”
While the carriage was still moving forward, Murong Qin'er picked up the jewels and silver stuffed in the baggage and put them into his boots.
Just as she turned her feet and looked at her things with some pride, the carriage stopped, calculating that it was still early to reach her destination, she could only lift the curtain to check the situation, and saw that several carriages, including her, were parked on the side of the road, and even passers-by were standing on the other side waiting.
Although it looked simple and low-key, even the wood was made of expensive golden silk nanmu stopped in front of the city gate, and the snow-white white horses in front of the carriage waited impatiently in place and snorted.
A handsome man in a black suit got out of the carriage, his face was cold, his eyebrows were sharp, and he held a black iron sword in his hand. He took out a token from his bosom, and without saying a word, the guards who had come to examine the city stood down respectfully and let their carriage leave.
Murong Qin'er looked puzzled, and deliberately pretended to be a man in a calm voice and asked, "Coachman, who was that person just now, it's such a big shelf, and all of us will make way for that carriage." ”
The middle-aged coachman's face was full of awe, but he shook his head helplessly.
"The old man doesn't know, there are too many big people in Beijing, and we ordinary people naturally want to retreat when they encounter it."
"Oh, that's right."
"Well, little boy, don't worry, we'll be here soon, I think it's going to be this day, and we will definitely be able to rush to Shanghe Town before dark."
Murong Qin'er nodded, lowered the curtain and sat back to wait.
The following procedures went for a while, and there were many people who did not propose the city to be inspected, and when it was their turn, the guards guarding the city also interrogated a lot, which was not as convenient and fast as the "big man" before when he went out of the city.
Finally came out of the city gate, and Murong Qin'er, who was drowsy on the road, almost threw herself on the seat of the car.
Luckily, the driver was able to distract her from time to time.
"Little boy, don't blame the old man for my talking, Shanghe Town has not been very peaceful recently, and the people in the town are panicking, why are you still going to the town?"
"Huh? Is something going on in Shanghe Town? ”
"Hey, you don't know, the old man is actually not very clear, but I heard that there was a Gu poison incident in Shanghe Town, and many people died."
"Gu poison?"
Murong Qin'er's sleepiness had all dissipated at this time, and things were a little beyond her cognition, she remembered that when she came back from Shanghe Town, it was obviously still very prosperous and lively, why did this kind of thing happen in just a few days?
"That's right, old man, I've lived for so long, and it's the first time I've seen a Gu poison ......"
The two talked all the way, and at sunset, the carriage finally arrived in front of a tall town.
"Little boy, you see, there is Shanghe Town in front, and the old man can only be sent here, and I dare not go inside. Also, be careful when you go in, you lose your life by someone for no other reason. ”
"Well, got it, old man, thank you."
After paying for the car, Murong Qin'er stood at the gate of the town with the package, looking at the three words Shanghe Town engraved on the boulder on the side, which completely coincided with the one in her memory, but she did not have the slightest sense of familiarity.
