Chapter 23: Night Alley

"What's the question?" Yanli saw him.

Yun Tianlang stared at her eyes, sat down opposite, noticed that the cup in front of her had not moved although it was full of water, and he touched the teapot again, and it was already cold.

"Miss Yan, why don't you drink water." He poured himself a cup, and he was thirsty when he asked, and he poured a cup of cold tea in one go.

Yanli didn't answer this question, but asked again, "So did you ask for a clue?" ”

"Asked......" Yun Tianlang grinned and agreed, "We'll wait." ”

The waiting time was too long, he didn't pay attention to lie on the table and dozed off, and when he woke up, it was already the third watch. "Why did I fall asleep?" Yun Tianlang woke up suddenly, Yan Yanli was still sitting opposite, and his expression did not change.

"The hour is coming." She said.

Yun Tianlang suddenly felt hairy on his back: "Why did I fall asleep suddenly?" In the tea you just drank, you shouldn't ......?"

Yanli picked up the umbrella and stood up: "Let's go, the boss here is closing." ”

There are no pedestrians on the street, and although the lanterns in Drunken Flower Township are still on, the scene of people is no longer there. The scarlet lantern has an indescribable ghost in the darkness of the night.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak......" The sound of a car turning in the depths of the alley.

A hunchbacked man came out of the darkness pushing a cart with two large wooden barrels on it, and a foul smell wafted over.

"That's him!" Yun Tianlang greeted him: "Uncle, I'm the cloud catcher of the Yamen!" Can I ask you a few words? ”

The man with the cart looked up and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" ”

As soon as the two looked at each other, Yun Tianlang was secretly shocked in his heart, the other party's eyes were full of white spots, and there was only one line left in the pupil.

"Big, uncle, do you come here every night?"

The uncle smiled: "Make a living from this, go once a day, and never fail." ”

"Did you see the eldest young master of the Fan family at this time last night?"

The uncle pouted: "Official, there are many rich people coming in and out here, how do I know which is Young Master Fan and which is Young Master Shi?" ”

Yun Tianlang was stunned: "Uncle, don't be joking!" Young Master Fan died mysteriously this morning, and some people say that he stayed here last night, if you have seen him, you can say something, maybe you can help the yamen investigate the case to provide some clues. ”

The uncle grinned, revealing his yellow and black teeth: "Provide clues to the yamen, is there a silver reward?" ”

Yun Tianlang took out a piece of broken silver from his body, "Let's see if the clues you gave are useful, whether it's worth this piece of silver." ”

When the uncle saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he reached out and grabbed it, and then threw it into the barrel on the cart.

"Alas! You?! Yun Tianlang glared angrily, and the broken silver floated on top of the barrel, but who dared to take it!" You dare to grab the quick silver?!! "Yun Tianlang is angry.

The uncle smiled: "Official, don't be annoyed. Since you have received your money, it will naturally give you something useful. ”

"Say it quickly." Yun Tianlang said unhappily, feeling very unhappy to be coerced.

The uncle smiled and said, "Young Master Fan Shijie of the Fan Mansion, he has been in and out here this Chinese New Year's Eve, but I have seen him many times." He was generous and gave me silver...... Keep me away from him. ”

Yun Tianlang couldn't help but cover his nose with his sleeve, and Young Master Fan was not wrong.

"Did you see Young Master Fan in contact with anyone last night? Is there a conflict? ”

"If I insisted on talking about conflict yesterday, there was one thing, but it couldn't be said to be a quarrel."

"What is it? Say it quickly! This person was grinding and chirping, and he was about to make Yun Tianlang impatient.
