Chapter 196: Accidental Hit (2) 4000 Words Fat Chapter
When Wei Nong heard this, he almost wanted to scold the coffin face.
Unexpectedly, he changed his words again: "However, this possibility cannot be ruled out." ”
Wei Nong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He's a tricker, isn't he? She glared at him fiercely.
The coffin face calmly lowered his eyes, no longer looking at the slight thickness.
Fortunately, the peacock didn't see the undercurrent between the two, he had already grinned, and scolded again: "The Jiang man who killed a thousand knives!" What! Lao Tzu must catch them! ”
In the evening, the twilight faded, and at the beginning of the night, his grinning appearance was not ugly, but even more red-lipped and white-toothed.
It's really a teenager's heart! I don't know what kind of illustrious background has developed such a high-flying and domineering personality. However, it has nothing to do with me. Wei Nong shook his head secretly, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Childe is angry, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first." ”
"Wait!" Obviously, the peacock didn't intend to let her go, although he was still angry, his tone was much better: "You...... Why are you meddling? ”
Have a finger in the pie? Did you obviously relieve him of the siege? Seeing his awkward look, Wei Nong also understood a little in his heart, and only felt funny: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, I'm ...... It's just that the road is uneven. ”
"Is there such a good person today?" The peacock boy frowned and touched his chin: "Generally speaking, those who help Lao Tzu have a plan." What are you drawing? ”
The coffin face behind him also took the opportunity to fan the flames: "Childe, this woman's motives are suspicious, maybe she wants to deliberately approach you." ”
Deliberately approaching? Wei Nong couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "There is absolutely no such thing!" I don't even know your last name! ”
"You are a woman, it is indeed suspicious to go on the road alone." The peacock boy also realized something, and the suspicious look on his face became stronger and stronger, and his gaze at Wei Thick also brought a little scrutiny.
Weinong felt that he was really going to have a headache, and his heart and mouth hurt, and his whole body hurt! She couldn't help but stroke her forehead, and Zhengse replied, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, the reason why I came to the rescue was because ...... I admire the departure very much. ”
"If it weren't for your words to defend him, I wouldn't have made a move." In the stunned gaze of the peacock boy and the coffin face, Wei thick went upstairs with an expressionless face. She silently made up her mind in her heart that she would never meddle anymore from now on!
*****
On the first night of arriving in Yanzhou, it came to an end in this nonsensical farce. Wei Nong was actually not afraid of the peacock, maybe because he was still young, maybe because he had helped Yunchen speak, but she had a good impression of him.
What she felt afraid of was the coffin-faced guard who didn't smile. Although it was only a short one, she could see that he was the leader of several guards, and the peacock boy trusted him very much.
Wei Nong was afraid that he would turn his face and find trouble for himself again, so he decided to speed up the trip. Especially, when she found out that the coffin face lived upstairs in her own building, her thought was even stronger!
Early the next morning, she settled the house bill with the inn and took Xiangrui on the road again. After that, she traveled and stayed in the hotel for several days, and every day was boring and smooth, and her days were free of wind and waves.
It wasn't until half a month later that she left the boundary of Yanzhou and came to Fuzhou, but she met the peacock boy and his party again!
Coincidentally, she had dinner that day just in time for the annual Spring Lantern Festival in Fuzhou. It is said that it is a "spring lantern festival", but when spring is in full swing, it is an excuse to create some private meetings for men and women of appropriate age to enjoy the lanterns.
I heard that this "Spring Lantern Festival" has a history of more than 30 years in Fuzhou, and the initiator is the famous palace lantern family "Xingyue Pavilion" in Fuzhou. At first, it was just a small lantern shop, which was intended to make his shop famous, but who expected that in the fourth year of the Spring Lantern Festival, it happened to meet King Ning, who was on patrol in micro-clothes, and traveled here at night.
By mistake, King Ning took a fancy to the lanterns of this house, and changed the royal pen of "Xingyue Lantern Shop" to "Xingyue Pavilion", and personally inscribed the plaque. Xingyue Pavilion thus jumped out of the dragon gate, and finally became an imperial merchant, taking care of all the palace lamps in King Ning's palace.
Since then, Fuzhou's "Spring Lantern Festival" has become famous, and many people have come to get a dip in dragon spirit. This spring lantern festival is becoming more and more lively every year. And no matter whether the Lantern Festival is a loss or a gain, Xingyue Pavilion has been held year after year, and the annual Lantern Festival Lantern Festival has been compared.
Wei Nong listened to this story, but he was interested in the palace lanterns of Xingyue Pavilion, so he thought about coming out to join in the fun. But she found that she underestimated the excitement of the Spring Lantern Festival, because the whole street was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and it was blocked.
Wei Nong couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this situation, thinking that men and women of the right age could still hope to find their favorite people at this lantern fair? It's good not to be squeezed into a meat pie! She was forced to squeeze in the crowd, and finally got out, and subconsciously touched her waist, but she was shocked - the purse fell somewhere!
In that purse is all her belongings! When she went to Jiang Country for detoxification for the first time, the silver tickets that Nie Xingji gave her were all in it, as well as the money that Lian Kuo helped her sell the house! She was afraid that the thieves would be worried about the silver ticket if she left it in the inn, so she always carried it with her!
Wei Nong glanced at the crowded Spring Lantern Festival, and his heart was even more cold, knowing that trying to recover the silver ticket under such circumstances was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. She was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, and she could only comfort herself, fortunately, she had bet fifty taels of silver when she stayed in the hotel, and there should be a surplus after the house was settled tomorrow, at least not to the point of being penniless.
Thinking like this, Fang Cai's panicked mind gradually calmed down, and she began to wonder if there would be a chance to retrieve the purse. There is no doubt that it is a huge amount of money, and it is more than enough to buy a home, enough for an ordinary family to spend two or three lifetimes. All the silver tickets are printed by Odori Bank, which is located all over Kyushu......
Wait a minute! All over Kyushu! That can also be cashed out in Yanzhou!
With so many silver tickets, presumably the thief is also unexpected, will he run away in a hurry? If an accomplice commits a crime, will they immediately sit on the ground and share the spoils and go to the money bank to cash in?
As long as you guard the city gates, you may be able to find traces of thieves!
Also, she vaguely remembered that all the silver tickets were serial numbers, and she could probably memorize a few of them after a glance. If you can notify the Chase money banks in various places and pay attention to the number of the ticket to redeem, can you also find clues?
Report to the officer! The thought popped into her mind! As long as you can mobilize the officers and soldiers to guard the city gate, and then notify the Chase Money Banks in all parts of Yanzhou, you may be able to catch the thieves in time!
But the world is declining, and she is a lone woman, even if she reports to the official, will the state officials deal with it in time? Will they mobilize troops and horses to search for people?
There was only one way to impress the state clerk - after recovering the silver ticket, she promised to pay for her hard work! How much to take out? Thirty percent? Fifty percent? Seventy percent? Wei Nong silently calculated in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to take out half of the silver ticket as a hardship fee. As long as you can get it back, it's better than losing everything!
But this kind of thing can't be said openly when reporting to the official, so you can only find the official in charge, give a promise in private, and then go through the process of reporting to the official after the conditions are negotiated. Thinking like this, Wei Nong couldn't wait, seeing that the Spring Lantern Festival had not yet been curfew, she decided to go to the magistrate's mansion immediately and find a way to meet the other party.
Now that he has decided, he no longer hesitates, Wei Nong immediately found a few passers-by, asked about the mansion of the state assassin, and rushed over in the dark, secretly regretting that he did not bring Xiangrui out at night. Fortunately, the Thorn Mansion was three intersections away from the Spring Lantern Festival, not too far, she trotted all the way to the place, but saw from a distance that the Thorn Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were many more guards than she expected.
Is it because he is holding a spring lantern festival, and he is afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack the assassination mansion? Wei Nong looked at the row of lanterns in front of the gate of Nafu from afar, and felt a dilemma.
She was thinking about how to get to the door smoothly, but there was a "buzz" in her ears, but she saw that the door of the Thorn Mansion suddenly opened heavily, and many people poured out of the door, each standing on the steps outside the door, looking in her direction.
Thanks to the bright lights in front of the Assassin's Mansion, Wei Nong saw at a glance that on the steps, a middle-aged man was wearing a wide official uniform with a shy stomach. I think it is the biggest governor of Fuzhou, Zhang Tingshi.
Looking at this posture, it should be that the Assassin's Mansion has come out up and down, could it be that there is something about to come to the door of the distinguished guests, and they are standing here to greet them? Then there must be a banquet in the Assassin's Mansion tonight, wouldn't it be more difficult for me to meet in private?
It seems that I can only go to the government office early tomorrow morning to meet him. Wei Nong couldn't help but be a little depressed, turned around and went back to the road, and just a few steps away, he heard the faint sound of the carriage, and it was getting closer and closer.
It should be that the distinguished guests of the Assassin's Mansion have arrived, and Wei Nong consciously stepped aside to avoid blocking the way of the distinguished guests. In a moment, a few good horses took the lead in opening the way, and a chariot then drove over and passed in front of Wei Nong.
Wei Nong was thinking about the silver ticket in his heart, so he was also a little absent-minded, and saw that the chariot had already passed, so he took a new step. However, she didn't think that there were several guards behind the chariot, all of whom were riding tall horses.
If you don't watch out, you will collide with the oncoming horses! At the last moment, it was the man on the horse who grabbed the reins and forced the horse to raise his hooves. But Weinong was so close to the horse that even if he stopped it, it would be useless, and the horse's hooves would kick her in the chest!
In the midst of the electric light, Wei Min subconsciously leaned back, quickly did a backflip, and landed steadily to avoid the horse's hooves.
It is rare for someone to react so quickly at a critical moment, not to mention a slender woman who makes a backflip smooth, graceful, and silent.
Rao is no matter how angry the person on the horse is, when he saw this action, he couldn't help but secretly say yes. When I looked at the girl's face again, I was even more surprised: "It's you?" ”
The sound was familiar. Wei Nong couldn't help but look up at the sound, facing the afterglow of the moonlight and the lights on the street, she clearly saw the person on the horse.
The thick eyebrows were slightly frowning and her face was tense, it was the coffin face she had seen seven or eight years ago!
Wei Nong was overjoyed: "It turned out to be you?!" ”
The coffin face immediately became vigilant: "Why are you here?" ”
As he spoke, several of the other guards had jumped off their horses and aimed their swords at Weinong.
Wei Nong felt helpless when he saw this, so he had to explain the cause and effect of his loss of his purse, and also vaguely explained the purpose of coming to assassinate Shifu.
After hearing this, the coffin face said expressionlessly: "You have quite an idea." ”
The hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, and lowered his head silently.
And the coffin face was obviously still angry, and scolded her: "Don't you have eyes? He slammed into me right away. ”
"It's just a misunderstanding." Slightly thick explained in a low voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone in front of her suddenly turned his horse's head and galloped back, presumably realizing that something had happened behind her. Before the person could ask, the coffin face told her about bumping into her, and specially explained: "The girl we just met in Yanzhou a few days ago is the girl who claims to admire Lihou, and I asked the prince to have an idea." ”
The visitor glanced at Wei Nong, but didn't say anything more, and turned the horse's head back, as if he had gone to return to the peacock.
Since he was able to receive the banquet of the Thorn Mansion, and let the Thorn Shi personally greet him outside the door, it seems that the identity of the peacock is not low. Wei Nong recalled the situation when he first met the peacock in Yanzhou, when he defended Yunchen everywhere between his words, and there were guards like the coffin face by his side, it can be seen that he is indeed a child of a noble family, and he may have had a relationship with Yunchen.
There are more than one or two children of a family of this age in Ningguo, and she is not familiar with it, so she can't guess where that peacock is sacred. However, this did not prevent her from asking for him.
So, Wei Nong immediately got into a relationship with the coffin face: "Your Excellency is going to the Assassin Mansion for a banquet, right?" Can you bring me in too? Let me see the history of assassination? ”
The coffin face already knew her intentions, and refused: "I can't." ”
Wei Nong had expected this answer, but was still a little disappointed.
The coffin face looked over the horse, and saw that her eyes, which were still radiant, instantly dimmed, as if she had been greatly hit. He couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, and was about to explain a word, when he heard Wei Nong and not give up and said: "After all, I saved Guishang, don't you be so ungrateful, right?" ”
One sentence made the coffin face's heart harden again, and he replied coldly again: "Who knows if you have ulterior motives?" Deliberately approaching my son-in-law? ”
I'm really going to put gold on my face! Wei Nong sarcastically said in her heart, but she knew that she was at a disadvantage now, so she didn't say it. She is not a person who likes to pester, since she was rejected, and the other party was in a hurry to go to the banquet, she replied: "Since it is inconvenient for Your Excellency, then I will leave first." ”
Although the words were polite, the tone had already cooled down.
"Wait," Coffin Face didn't intend to let her go, leaning over to look at her with one elbow on the horse's back, "The prince hasn't shown it yet, you can't leave for the time being." ”
He pursed his lips slightly and didn't speak again, but he regretted it in his heart and gradually felt anxious.
The two sides confronted each other like this, and neither of them spoke again. In the night, only the sound of horses' hooves taping back and forth, crisp and irregular, makes people listen to it more and more anxiously.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone in front of me to come running again to spread the word: "Gongzi asked you to bring someone over." ”
