Chapter 127: Far Away
As soon as she looked at him, Lu Anran recognized that the other party was the old cat in his own mouth, she quietly denied it, but she still couldn't deceive him.
The old cat grew up in the market since he was a child, and he is slick and smooth, and he also has the sensitivity cultivated by small people shuttling between different levels of people.
Lu Anran chased for a while, and saw the old cat jumping left and right flexibly, and lost it in a few clicks.
Immediately annoyed, I knew that I had so coincidentally blocked the main master, so I shouldn't have come alone.
But it's good news, people are still alive in the royal capital.
Thinking like this, a corner, almost hit someone.
"Miss Lu?" Nangong Zhi was quite surprised.
Lu Anran was also puzzled, why Nangong Zhi appeared here in such a remote and dirty alley.
Both of them were suspicious, but at the same time, they didn't mention it unusually tacitly, and only greeted lightly, "Nangong Shaofu." β
If it is said that the clouds are rich and graceful, and the ink is colorful, Nangong Zhi is graceful and graceful, and he is a gentleman among people.
"Is Miss Lu leaving? It's better to go for a ride together. β
It was dark, and the alleys were gradually becoming popular, mostly coolies, and together they emitted a pungent smell of sweat. The most important thing is that they found the two people who were out of place in the alley, and they all stared at them with curious eyes.
The spring day is still cool in the morning and evening, but the people who do manual work still open their clothes, revealing their dark or tanned chests, some scold their mothers loudly, and some roll up their sleeves and trouser legs, and pour well water into their bodies to rinse.
In a powerful family, this kind of behavior is extremely unseemly, especially in front of young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet.
Lu Anran often acts alone in Mengdu, not without experience in dealing with low-level people, their eyes are straightforward and warm, but most of them are curious, compared with the occasional obscene and obscene people, most of them are honest and willing to show kindness.
In Lu Anran's view, lewdness is in nature and has nothing to do with wealth or poverty, so she is not afraid.
It's just that he didn't intend to explain too much, so he accepted Nangong Zhi's kindness and said, "Thank you." β
The two of them are not familiar with each other, and there is nothing to say, and the only one who has intersected is the time when Ya Xianju.
"I wonder if the identity of the male corpse in the lake has been ascertained?"
Lu Anran didn't know why, why she asked her about the case handed over to the Criminal Division.
"I heard that you are a disciple of Lei On, and he used to run to the Criminal Division."
I see.
"From the bones, it can be proved that he was murdered, if he identifies ......," she said: "The deceased's knees were not worn, and he was not a person who did manual work all year round, but the ten-finger phalanges were long, and the elbows had signs of wear and tear for many years, as if he had worked on the case." β
"Readers?"
"No, I usually use my right hand to read and write, so the wear and tear of the elbow joint of my right hand will be more obvious than that of my left hand, but his two hands are relatively even, and I guess he is a craftsman who does handicrafts."
There was appreciation in Nangong Zhi's eyes, "Just from the bones, you can see so much." β
"People are alive, they have experienced something, they can lie when they are alive, but the body is not." Lu Anran said, "In addition, the cloth he wears is a wear-resistant and easy-to-wash fine linen coarse cloth, which is not a scholar's Confucian shirt style." β
Nangong Zhi heard about these doorways in the autopsy for the first time, and said with great interest: "Since the crowd is locked, the identity should be found out soon." β
"It's no wonder that there is no such person." She had already arrived at Suzaku Street, and the hustle and bustle around her almost drowned out her words, "Maybe my guess is also incomplete." β
Nangong Zhi heard it, smiled and said, "Don't mind, you have to be more confident in yourself." β
"Why did the prince say this?"
"You're a disciple of Leon."
This was the second time Lu Anran had heard him mention Lei Weng in Nangong Zhi's mouth, and he was in a very respectful tone, and he couldn't help but be even more curious about her identity as a cheap master.
"I also have a senior brother I haven't met."
This is an inquiry, Nangong Zhi heard it, and he didn't mind at all, and said: "Lei On's temperament gives you a headache, but don't worry, he is still very attentive to his disciples." β
Lu Anran wanted to say that she didn't see it, maybe her eyes were too exposed, which caused Nangong Zhi to chuckle: "Lei On swore to be a servant, but Zijie wanted to study medicine, and originally wanted to pass on what he had learned all his life, but it is conceivable how annoyed Lei On was at that time." β
Lu Anran suddenly said, "No wonder he coaxed me into the medical defense sect that day." β
Nangong Zhi put the back of his hand against his lips to cover half of his face, which could be seen from the corners of his eyes, with a happy expression, "You speak very directly." β
"To tell the truth is to be straight." Lu Anran asked, "Zijie is my senior brother?" β
"Zijie is his word, his name is Xiao Shu, he travels outside all the year round, and he doesn't see him once in a few years."
Lu Anran's eyes changed slightly-his surname was Xiao.
The surname Xiao is very special, it is the surname of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
Seeing that it was not early, Lu Anran had been out for too long, and bowed to Nangong Zhi, "Thank you Nangong Shaofu for escorting me for a ride, there is Jiqingfang in front, I can go back by myself." β
Nangong didn't force it, and said with his head bowed: "Miss Lu go slowly." Seeing her back covered in the crowd, she turned and strode away.
Upstairs, a colored pot smashed to the ground with a 'bang', and broken porcelain was scattered all over the ground.
"What a joke!" The anger made the tone extremely low, and the words that came out with a sneer carried a piercing chill, and the people who listened coldly panicked.
"The county lord ......" The maid next to him knelt down to clean up.
The county lord of Ding'an happened to be eating upstairs with someone, and when she saw Nangong Zhi and Lu Anran talking together somehow, and they were chatting happily with their expressions, how could she not be annoyed.
The county lord of Ding'an glared fiercely at the servant girl who spoke, and slapped him with his backhand, "Stupid, didn't you say that Brother Nangong was not at home when he entered the palace today. β
"When the slave and maid sent something, the little maid of the Nangong family really said this, and the slave and maid didn't know how the prince of Nangong appeared here." It's good to die, and he still walks with the enemies of the county lord of Ding'an.
The county lord of Ding'an sat down with a cold face, and while arranging his cuffs, he said lightly: "I can't even do this little thing, so let's go and serve people." β
"No, don't, county master, the slave is wrong, give the slave another chance."
The county lord of Ding'an raised his eyebrows and called indifferently: "Yao'an, take people away and send them to the lowest kiln." β
The maidservant cried for a long time to no avail, and when she was about to be dragged away, she shouted bitterly: "...... You wicked woman, you will have retribution. β
The county lord of Ding'an hooked his red lips, but instead smiled, and asked the others kneeling on the ground: "Did you all hear that?" β
The maidservants trembled and fell to the ground, all shaking their heads desperately.
The county lord of Ding'an smiled with red lips, a pair of beautiful eyes were extremely cold, and said disdainfully: "Cursed prayers are all self-consolation of some incompetent untouchables. The words changed, "But the county lord is a royal man, how can such a noble person be defiled, Yao'an, cut off that slut's tongue to the county lord." β
Life and death are all in the mind of the county lord of Ding'an, and the maidservants are accustomed to seeing the endless methods of the county lord of Ding'an, so they can only be deeply in awe and rejoice to see others being punished.

southwest
The procession of more than 100 people all stopped because the carriage at the back did not move.
This kind of pause has happened several times in the past two days, which has caused a lot of criticism.
"Leader Qi, we are marching, not going out to make trouble, can you tell Yun Shizi, it will be dark if you rest any longer."
Qi Shang turned the horse's head back, and Mo Yan patted the horse over on the other side, and said, "Our son said that his wound hurts and he can't hurry, so he has to rest for an hour." β
The first to speak was the captain who led the troops this time, and when Mo Yan urged the horse to leave, he complained dissatisfiedly: "A thin slit in the arm is also called an injury?" Qi Shenling was stabbed in the shoulder and didn't say anything. β
"yes, it's still the knife for him." Another soldier also chimed in: "What kind of person is this, the barren mountains and mountains think that his ecstasy house." β
Qi Shang was silent for a moment and said, "I'll go and ask about the situation." β
The lieutenant hesitated, followed along, and heard Yunqi's lazy voice through the door curtain: "My hands hurt, my back hurts, my head hurts, and I can't walk." β
Qi Shang: "If you don't hurry, you will miss the next post station, and please bear with the prince." β
"Nope." Yunqi Jade Bone Fan opened half of the curtain, revealing a pair of good-looking peach blossom eyes, "Ginseng Qi can also lead the team to leave first." β
Qi Shang shook his head: "I just encountered an ambush, and it is not safe to walk separately." β
Yun Qi sighed: "You have brought thousands of people to the world, and you almost didn't write 'I'm here to Pingkou' on your face, not to mention scaring the snake, you almost set off a cannon to announce the world." β
The lieutenant was unconvinced and said: "The prince said this, is it still the bandits we attracted." β
Yunqi's hand that didn't hold the fan was spread, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneering arc, what that meantβisn't it obvious?
The captain's face darkened, "Since we think that we have caused the world, then we will part ways and ask the prince to take his own Yangguan Road!" β
Qi Shang frowned, the word 'no' hadn't come out yet, and he heard Yunqi laugh casually: "Okay, you just don't have to worry about this world." β
"Counselor Qi, let's go." The lieutenant was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and pulled Qi Shang away, "What do you do with a person like him." β
Although Qi Shang led the imperial position of leading the team, he was already in the guard camp and could not be regarded as a person from the Wolf Mountain camp, so it was not good to force others too much, and after thinking about it, he balanced the two and said: "Yun Shizi, we will lead the troops first, you will follow up a little later, and we will meet in Ping County." β
Yunqi waved his hand casually: "Accurate." β
Then, the original team of people and horses were divided into two lines, and when Qi Shang and them walked away, Yun Qi put away the smile on his face, and his sitting posture was not as casual as just now, and said to Guanyue: "What we encountered before was definitely not an ordinary thief and rogue, watching them run for a long time, it was more like chasing from behind." β
Two low coughs sounded in the carriage, and then Su Ji's sickly white face was revealed, "Could it be that the king has changed?" β
After thinking about it, Yunqi shook his head and said, "Whether it is leaking the news or doing it on purpose, our trip will not be smooth." Watching the moon, you go to Ping County one step ahead of Qi Shang, don't check the Liukou and the government, and find the largest merchants in Ping County, whether it is rice, flour, grain, oil or silk tea, order 5,000 taels of silver for each item, and bet 1,000 taels as a deposit. β
Guanyue was puzzled: "But where do we have so many silver taels?" β
Yunqi groped around from the carriage, took out a large stack of silver tickets and handed it over: "Use this." β
"But it's not ......"
"Just do what I say."
