Chapter 354: Who's Framing It
If you have a revenge for killing your father, it is generally impossible to expose it for no reason, and even if you take revenge, you can only calm the anger in your heart, but the heartache is difficult to erase. In the same way, Ran Yan said that it was even, but in fact, she still left a very bad impression on Li Ke in her heart, she has never been a free and easy person, and she felt that even if he had no malicious intentions, it was best to return to the bridge and return to the road, and did not want to have a deep 'friendship' with him.
Li Ke came to apologize today, which was already difficult for him to accept, and looking at Ran Yan's attitude, there was no need to be shy and stammered, so he barely kept a calm word, and then got up to leave.
Ran Yan sent him out of the 'door', and Liu Qingsong came down from upstairs, stood beside Ran Yan and hooked his head to look at the carriage in the distance, and snorted.
"Do you know Li Ke? Is it different from what is recorded in history? Ran Yan said softly.
Liu Qingsong shook his head, "No, it's exactly the same arrogant, and generally people don't have a good face, just like Jiulang." ”
Ran Yan frowned, "What kind of metaphor are you!" Xiao Yuezhi is much gentler than him. ”
"No, you, I haven't said anything yet, it's all maintained, you go out and catch someone casually, if he says Xiao Jiulang is gentle, I'll cut off my eyeballs and play with you as marbles!" How many sins Liu Qingsong suffered under Xiao Song's clutches, he would never allow anyone to say that Xiao Song was gentle, "The fact is that Li Ke looks much kinder." ”
It's strange that Xiao Song is usually a person who loves to laugh, and he laughs very heartily, but no one thinks he is so close; And Li Ke is often very serious, and there are very few hearty smiles like Xiao Song, but most people still think that he is gentler than Xiao Song.
Ran Yan didn't want to argue with him, and was about to go out when the street suddenly became noisy, and many people ran to the west.
"There's a situation here!" When he encountered gossip Liu Qingsong, it was difficult to calm down, and he immediately rushed out of the store's 'door', grabbed a person dressed as a scholar and asked, "This little brother dares to ask what happened?" ”
"You don't know yet, the front street is boiling, and a lady was killed in the restaurant, and that lady is the 'daughter' of Dou Yun, the richest man in Chang'an!" After saying that, the scholar shook off Liu Qingsong's hand and hurriedly ran away with the 'tide'.
In fact, it is not possible to see the corpse if you rush over, but where something happens, a crowd will gather, and where there are many people, there will be more news. Most people are just enthusiastic about gossip and go over to dig and spread first-hand information.
Ran Yan, who was standing at the entrance of the 'door', suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and the words 'swinging' echoed in his mind, the richest man in Chang'an, the richest man in Chang'an······ And the wine girl at that time said, not to mention a glass of happy wine, even if you send the wine of Chang'an to the house!
The customs of the Tang Dynasty are simple, except for the necessary exaggeration of poetry, ordinary good people rarely boast about this kind of Haikou at will, and looking at the expression of the wine girl at that time, it didn't seem like a joke at all.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence······ Ran Yan immediately urged Liu Qingsong, "Let's go over and take a look!" ”
Liu Qingsong was stumbled by her, ran out of the distance before he could adjust his pace, and followed behind panting. Didn't ······ I didn't expect you to love gossip so much! ”
As soon as Wanlu and Gelan saw Ran Yan leaving, they hurriedly pulled their 'legs' to catch up.
Ran Yan's physique was much better than Liu Qingsong's, his breath was quite steady, and he said in a low voice, "I suspect that someone is trying to frame us, I hope my feeling is wrong!" ”
Liu Qingsong's expression froze, and then he quickened his pace, and silently followed Ran Yan to the place where the incident occurred.
Ran Yan's usual dress is not very gorgeous, in the midst of the 'chaos' and 'chaos', people's attention is focused on other places, and she is not particularly eye-catching.
When you arrive at the main road of the East Market, you don't need to inquire at all, and you can see the restaurant where the crowd gathers at a glance.
The restaurant is called Zhixian Building, which is a well-known shop in Chang'an, and it is mostly a place where literati and scholars gather. The price of this restaurant is very expensive, but the boss likes to 'befriend' the literati, all the famous scholars or students who study with the Guozijian, or the court officials, the consumer price will be cut in half, the literati can not only 'spend' a small price, but also taste the best wine and food, with their drive, the business of Zhixianlou has been excellent.
Moreover, this is an old shop that has been in business for more than ten years, and many scholars who used to know the owner of the shop are now high-ranking officials, so the status of Zhixianlou in Chang'an is becoming more and more stable.
Ran Yan and Liu Qingsong saw that the place where the incident happened was actually this store, and the ominous premonition in their hearts became stronger and stronger, and even Wan Lu, who usually loves to babble, felt the solemnity of the two, and never made a sound behind them.
The people from the government had already arrived, and the outside of the restaurant was flooded, but no one dared to make a loud noise, almost all of them were 'hand-to-ear', and it was difficult to hear any useful news.
Seeing this, Gelan poked Wanlu, they grew up together since childhood, and some things can know each other's meaning without words.
Wan Lu looked around the crowd, then squeezed forward, came to a slightly chubby middle-aged 'woman', and whispered, "This lady, do you know what happened here?" ”
The 'woman' glanced at Wan Lu, and saw that she was dressed as a 'waiter', although her life was good, but there was no annoying charm, and she just wanted to find someone to gossip and gossip at this time, so she immediately leaned over with a very professional gossip posture, and said in a low voice, "You just arrived, I was in the cloth village opposite just now, and I heard it clearly, saying that it was the Dou family's grandson who has always been a big 'door' and not out of the second 'door' Female', somehow today, in a very good mood, ran to the Zhixian Building to ask for a private room said that it was to celebrate, who knows, just two moments after entering, people will ......"
The 'woman' sighed with a sad face, "So, fate! ”
"Huh? How could that Dou lady not go out of the big 'door' and not go out of the second 'door'? "Evening Green Heart feels strange, Chang'an is even the most quiet lady, and occasionally comes out for outings and shopping.
The 'woman' glanced at Wanlu again and said, "The girl hasn't been in Chang'an for long." ”
"Yes, I only came to Chang'an half a year ago, and I am not familiar with the place, and I don't come out often." Late Greenway.
"It's no wonder." The enthusiasm of the 'woman' came up all of a sudden, the 'essence' of gossip is, you know what others don't know, the 'woman' heard this, and was a little more kind to the evening green at the moment, and the voice was so small that only two people could hear it, "This Dou Siniang is the son of the richest family in Chang'an, and there are also brothers and sisters on it, Dou Siniang's sister looks white and pure, but somehow, she has spots all over her face, and her face is 'flower', so she is seventeen years old and no one has been on it." The door 'proposed, Dou Siniang also didn't go out of the 'door' twice a year, this time it came out, and he died, hey, do you say it's a fate! ”
Wan Lu's heart jumped, and she suddenly understood the reason why Ran Yan and Liu Qingsong were anxious, and her face turned pale.
The 'woman' also said that Wan Lu was frightened, and she didn't care too much, and then said, "Dou Yun has no spots on his face, and his wife's skin is also very fair, it is said that Dou Yun once suspected that Mrs. Hongxing was out of the wall, and she was very cold to Dou Siniang." ”
"Is that so?" Evening Green pressed down the panic in his heart, and concentrated on talking to the woman. She knew that her lady was very smart, and the more detailed she knew, the more beneficial it would be to them, "Then Dou Siniang is really a poor person, that's it...... Alas, do you know how she got into trouble? ”
"Who's to say it isn't!" The 'woman' sighed and continued, "I only heard that Dou Siniang's face is full of blood, and the rest is not clear, the people from the government are here, and none of the diners inside have been released, so we don't know." ”
Wan Lu's face was a little whiter, and she asked a few more words about Dou Siniang, the 'woman' status was not high, and what she said was also heard from the side, Dou Siniang didn't go out of the 'door', and she didn't cause anything worth gossiping, so the 'woman' people still talked about Dou Siniang's body and saw that they couldn't ask anything from her mouth, and Wan Lu politely said a few more words to her, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
When Ran Yan saw Wanlu come out, she hardly had to ask anything, and she knew that her hunch was the truth! I was a little panicked in my heart for a while, and I felt a little guilty of heartache, I couldn't help but reach out and cover my heart, the person who killed the wine lady must have been preparing to frame her, if it wasn't for her choosing the wine lady in the crowd, she wouldn't have a heartbeat, and her mind regained clarity almost instantly, and said to Liu Qingsong, "Go." ”
Liu Qingsong saw all the changes in Ran Yan's eyes, his heart tightened, and he followed without hesitation, several people returned to the medical hall, went up to the second floor and closed the window, Liu Qingsong asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”
Ran Yan didn't care about speaking, and hurriedly dug out the identities and addresses of the other four ladies, summoned Xiao Song's guard who 'handed over' to her, and sent the recorded address, "You read the information on it clearly and remember them." ”
After the guards looked at it carefully, Ran Yan took back the paper, "What you are ordered to do now may be very dangerous, 'hand' over all the things on your body that can mark the Xiao family." ”
These are secret guards, they are all people who have no identity and no household registration, that is to say, there is no certificate of existence in Datang, they are all dead soldiers, as long as there is no trace of 'sex' on their bodies, even if they are caught and killed at that time, they will not 'reveal' the identity of their masters, and many powerful families in Chang'an have such dead soldiers.
The guards took out a silver leaf from their bosoms and placed it on a few tables.
Ran Yan divided them into groups of two, and rushed to find those ladies respectively, if anyone attacked them, he tried his best to stop them, if the person had been killed, do not approach the scene, and quickly retreat. Other things are decided by the guards themselves according to the situation, and Ran Yan did not 'handover' the generation in detail, nor did he have time to 'hand' the generation.
After ordering everything, Ran Yan sat down on the seat.
Ge Lan added a contemplative incense to the incense burner.
When Ran Yan ordered things, Liu Qing was anxious to 'mess around', and he also guessed the general situation in his heart, and took advantage of Ran Yan's leisure to ask anxiously, "Is someone trying to deal with us?" ”
"Yes." Ran Yan's answer was concise and to the point.
Liu Qingsong opened his mouth and said after a moment, "I said you, can't you say in detail?" Who is going to deal with us, and for what purpose? ”
"I'm thinking." Ran Yan lowered his eyes and ignored him after saying that.
Liu Qingsong took his hand and walked back and forth in the room, sighing from time to time, or making some movements, Ran Yan was really impatient, "You can't stop for a while!" ”
"No way, I sit still, my brain doesn't move." Liu Qingsong is used to relaxing his body like this when he thinks about things.
