Chapter 18: What Happened
The situation has become even more bizarre.
The side door was the one that led to Chang En's rest.
Shen Muqing's heart moved: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”
Pang Debao looked at the red-clothed young man surrounded by four monks, pursed his lips, his eyes showed a look of fortitude, and he responded with a "good".
Shen Muqing and Pang Debao entered the side door one after the other.
The courtyard behind the side gate was the same as the vestibule, quiet, and not a single person could be seen.
The two of them went up the verandah in confusion.
Shen Muqing's pair of "paper shoes" made a crackling sound, which was still loud in this silence.
The door of the ear room suddenly opened, and a monk's shiny bald head poked out: "Who is it?" There was a thick wariness in his voice.
Shen Muqing hurriedly said, "I am from the Shen family...... What happened? ”
When the monk heard this, his expression became even more nervous, he opened the door, looked at Pang Debao and said, "Shen, the people of the Shen family...... Why are you here so soon...... The host went to the Sanglu Division...... Come in and see......"
Shen Muqing pushed the monk away and entered the house.
The eight immortals in the room were in a mess on the table, and there were leftover delicacies. There were two people lying side by side on the earthen pit near the window, both dressed in blue pleated clothes, and some people came in and did not move.
A thought flashed, and Shen Muqing only felt his heart pounding.
She walked to the pit in three steps and two steps.
It was Wu En and Sun Xiu.
Their eyes were closed, their faces were pale, and their expressions were hideous.
"This is, your family's nursing home...... The master made us look at ...... Wait for the people of Shuntian Mansion Yin to come......" The monk stumbled and explained to Pang Debao.
Shen Muqing's eyes were blurry, and he only felt that his whole body was weak, and he slid down.
Someone next to her grabbed her arm tightly and lifted her up: "Little sister, little sister......"
The sound was not loud, but it was like thunder above Shen Muqing's head.
Can't fall, at this time, can't fall...... There's still a lot left undone......
Shen Muqing struggled to raise his head, and saw Pang Debao's face without a trace of blood, but with a resolute face between his eyebrows.
Under the gaze of this expression, she must have calmed down quickly.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Muqing slowly straightened up.
Pang Debao's eyes flashed with appreciation, and then he took out a silver bill that looked like two taels from his arms and handed it to the monk: "What happened to our girl?" ”
The monk took the silver and put it in his pocket, and said with a smile: "The girl of the Shen family is accompanied by a female pilgrim and rests in the wing room next to the apse......"
Pang Debao thanked him, and dragged Shen Muqing out of the ear room.
"Our young master can be regarded as saving your life, but now that there is a murder here, we can't help you anymore......" he looked pleading, "If someone asks, I will ask the little sister to hide a few words on her behalf, just say that she has met an unknown knight...... I can't thank you enough. ”
As the saying goes, the eight-character yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. In this case, this way of dealing with it is really the best.
Shen Muqing nodded again and again. Thinking of the character of the young man in red, he hurriedly said: "Steward Pang has found a way to take your young master away, as for the name post, it will still be sent to the Xiangfa silk cloth shop in Wuyiku Hutong in Jinchengfang according to Steward Pang's wishes." Her tone was very earnest, and Pang Debao couldn't help but be moved when he heard it, and said: "Little sister, I think you are also a person who has something on your mind, and you have to be careful yourself!" ”
Pang Debao probably felt that her situation in the future would be very difficult, so he felt it and spoke sincerely. This is already caring for people like Pang Debao, who are cautious and step-by-step.
Shen Muqing said gratefully: "Please be careful, too, the manager. ”
Pang Debao took out a silver coin from his purse and sneered: "This is really the last one...... Take it! ”
Shen Muqing took it.
Pang Debao sighed, turned and left.
Shen Muqing watched Pang Debao's back disappear into the side door, then glanced at the monk who was secretly peeping at them behind the door, and went to the wing room of the apse with a crackle.
There was no one on the road, a teenage novice was standing at the door of the wing room with his head down, hearing the movement, looking this way, and when Shen Muqing approached, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "The girl of the Shen family, are you back...... Our host is scared to death! ”
Shen Muqing took a closer look, and it turned out to be Huiyuan, who often accompanied the host to her house.
She smiled coldly: "It's best to be scared to death!" I saw the people in Zhen'an Wangfu hiding, and now that something happened, I knew that I was scared! ”
Hui Yuan's face turned red, and he lowered his head and helped her open the door.
The people in the room seemed to have heard the movement, and when Shen Muqing entered, a woman also hurriedly walked over. The two looked at each other, and they were both stunned.
The person who came was the second sister who was dressed up in a fancy way: "Why is the little eldest sister!" ”
Shen Muqing said, "What about Xu San? You're here, where did he go? ”
The second sister was about to speak, when Jinxiu suddenly rushed out of the western room. Her whole body trembled, and she hugged Shen Muqing as if she had grabbed a life-saving grass, and she covered her face with a burst of crying.
Shen Muqing easily struggled out of her arms, and was busy looking her up and down.
The hair was messy, the face was pale, the eyes were red and swollen, and although the white skirt was a little dirty, the placket was neat, and it was impossible to see what had happened!
Shen Muqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Jinxiu only knew how to sobbing and crying, and the second sister on the side said: "As soon as we walked out of the first side door, the nursing home surnamed Chang of your family stopped us on the corridor with a nursing home surnamed Sun. The Sixteenth Master originally wanted to take us through the hall of the main hall, but I didn't expect to be blocked by your family, and Chang Ye said that as long as the Sixteenth Master is willing to let the Shen family girl go, this matter will be settled. The sixteenth master was a little bit of a figure, but who knew that Xing'er said, 'Now that Liangzi is over, I think about it, I'm afraid it's not so easy'......" she said, and she glanced at the splendor, "and said, 'Such a girl can't be found with a lantern, and her character and background are really not to be said.'" When the time comes, the raw rice will be cooked into cooked rice, and I am afraid that Lord Shen will not recognize this son-in-law. As long as the fourth young master likes it, the old lady naturally likes it. Don't say it's the Hou Ye, even if the prince knows, he can only help cover the '......"
Yuan Sheng has a younger brother named Yuan Hao, who is most liked by the old princess, so he attacked the title of "Marquis of Pingyang", the king of Lao Zhen'an. He, like his brother Yuan Sheng, is a group of wives and concubines, but it is very difficult for him to be a concubine. Yuan Sheng has only one daughter under his knees so far, and Yuan Hao has given birth to eleven sons, except for the fourth son, the others have all died. It seems that this so-called fourth young master should be Yuan Hao's only son.
Shen Muqing pondered while listening to the second sister's chatter.
“…… The sixteenth master is iron-hearted...... The people on both sides were in a mess...... That grandfather is not good, but Chang Ye's skills are good, and several people on the sixteenth master's side have suffered, so Xing'er grabbed a handful of incense ashes and found an opportunity to fascinate Chang Ye's eyes...... It's just that Chang Ye is a stubborn person, but he doesn't admit defeat...... Later, then it was ......" the second sister's eyes fell, "As soon as the sixteenth master saw that the matter was getting bigger, he dragged the girl and was about to leave...... Who knows, the girl seems to be supple, but she is a fierce person, and she grabbed the face of the sixteenth master in one hand...... The sixteenth master was in pain, and he raised his foot and kicked on the girl's heart, and the girl vomited a mouthful of blood at that time and fainted......"
Shen Muqing's face turned pale: "Go and lie down!" As he spoke, he carried the splendid to the Arhat bed in the west room.
When the second sister saw it, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other arm of Jinxiu: "...... The slave was so frightened that he jumped up to see it, and he was kicked a few times......"
Shen Muqing saw that there were still half footprints on her peach-colored gown.
"Someone next to me asked the sixteenth master, 'Do you want to take people away', I was anxious when I heard it, so I screamed 'killed someone', 'You beat the girl of the Shen family to death'...... When the sixteenth master heard this, he panicked and asked Xing'er to take a look. ”
The two helped Jinxiu onto the Luohan bed, and Shen Muqing found that there were a few dark red blood stains on Jinxiu's placket, and he looked very tired.
Jinxiu struggled for a moment, the corners of her mouth slightly twitched, as if she wanted to say something.
Shen Muqing held her down: "Lie down...... When Zhuji comes, I will find a doctor to take a look, this is not the time to be willful! Beware of the broken...... I don't know where the injury is? ”
Xiumian estimated that it was also in severe pain, nodded and lay down with a white face.
The second sister poured a cup of tea, "I see that Xing'er is also a little scared." I touched it indiscriminately and said, 'The person is gone'...... The sixteenth master led the people away in a panic...... Later, the master of the temple came out and carried the girl here and let the slave family guard the ...... The girl had just woken up, and the little sister arrived......"
Shen Muqing held up Jinxiu's head and fed her a sip of hot tea to drink: "Don't talk, close your eyes and recuperate." What's the matter, we'll wait for the jewels to come. ”
Jinxiu nodded weakly and closed her eyes.
For a moment, the room was quiet.
Shen Muqing listened to the sound of Jinxiu's breathing and slowly calmed down, so he made a gesture towards the second sister, and the two of them walked out of the wing room one after the other.
Xiao Shami Huiyuan was squatting at the door boredly, and when he saw them, he shouted "girl" to Shen Muqing.
Shen Muqing handed the silver coin given by Pang Debao to Huiyuan: "Go, wait at the gate of the mountain, see the people in our family, call to come quickly." ”
Hui Yuan answered, took the silver, and ran away.
The second sister looked at Shen Muqing a little strangely.
Shen Muqing also ignored her. Sitting on the threshold of the hall, while untying the sweat towel on his feet, he asked the second sister: "What is the relationship between you and Xu San?" ”
The second sister looked at Shen Muqing's feet and whispered with some annoyance: "Little eldest sister, I respect you for being a person with a head and a face next to the girl of the Shen family, so I will tell you this...... Speaking of which, I can be regarded as saving your girl's life. The little eldest sister is also a little more polite! ”
Sisters, where did the tickets go...... Woowoo...... Squeak to pink ticket ticket......
