was amused by Huan'er's quipping words, and this smile also dissipated the gloom that had accumulated in Zhou Jingwan's heart for many days.

It's a rare moment of relaxation in my heart.

"To be honest, I don't fully trust this master right now."

Zhou Jingwan was gentle and cautious, and said slowly, "If it weren't for Madam Hu's strong recommendation of this Fengcheng master, I wouldn't have come to look for her alone behind my parents' back." ”

Hearing Miss's words, Huan'er didn't say anything more.

Mrs. Hu is the wife of a county's order, and she is usually known to the elderly, weak, women and children in the county, and she will not deceive her own young lady for no reason.

I believe that the master in the General's Mansion must have something special.

"It's not early, Miss should rest early."

Huan'er turned around and said while making the bed, "Let's visit again tomorrow after breakfast, this master can't fall asleep all night long." ”

Hearing Huan'er's unwilling words, Zhou Jingwan smiled gently and nodded.

"You go and rest, let's get up early tomorrow."

After waiting for Zhou Jingwan to lie down, Huan'er was blessed and was just about to leave, when a knock suddenly sounded outside the door.

Such a visit made the master and servant suddenly nervous, Huan'er hesitated, and still asked softly.

"Who?"

"Girl, I am a soldier of the Xiao family, and the general invites the two of you to come over to the house."

The man's voice sounded of medium age, and he could be seen standing outside the door in an upright manner through the candlelight.

Coupled with the sincerity and politeness of his words, and the fact that it was someone from the Xiao family who came to look for him, Zhou Jingwan and Huan'er dispelled their vigilance at once.

Zhou Jingwan hurriedly got up, put on her coat and took care of her loose hair, before nodding and signaling Huan'er to open the door.

There was only one man outside the door, with a saber hanging from his waist, and he was wearing the same clothes as the soldiers they saw at the gate of the Xiao family.

The two glanced at each other, confirmed to each other that the man was dressed correctly, and their faces relaxed a little.

"I'm sorry." The man politely clenched his fists and bowed, leaning sideways and respectfully getting out of the way, "The carriage is ready, two please." ”

Usually the guards will follow behind the host and guests, and Zhou Jingwan, as everyone's young lady, understands herself.

She was just surprised that the General's Mansion would treat herself as a guest who she had never met.

"There are strong men."

Huan'er thanked her and slowly walked down from the second floor with her young lady.

The candle flame behind them flickered and swept over the figures of the three people, illuminating the night that was already not very bright.

The lobby on the first floor is quiet and quiet, because it is closed time, most of the guests cannot be received.

The little maid was looking down to wipe the last few square tables, watching the two girls go downstairs, followed by a man who looked like a guard, and the movements of his subordinates gradually slowed down.

Fengcheng seems to be prosperous, but due to the complicated flow of people in trade, there are many people from three religions and nine streams mixed in the market.

"It's so late, where are the two guest officers going?"

The little guy couldn't help but ask, looking at the three of them with his eyes.

"Our general invites two girls to come over to the house."

At this time, the three of them had already walked to the door, and the soldiers of the government did not reply to dismiss the little girl's questions, and urged Zhou Jingwan and the others, "Two, please get into the carriage." ”

The little guy threw down the rag in his hand and walked to the door of the store with light feet.

I happened to see Zhou Jingwan's master and servant enter a carriage, and then the carriage slowly moved forward and disappeared into the night.

This carriage is recognized by the little guy, and it is a carriage that the Xiao family often uses on weekdays.

Although the Xiao family has several different drivers, General Xiao has never been a conspicuous person, and most of them use this one to travel.

Seeing the familiar frame, the little guy laughed and said that he had thought too much, turned around and went back to continue wiping the square table.

When he wiped the third square table, his subordinates' movements couldn't help but tremble, and their eyes suddenly frightened, and they dropped the rag and hurried to the backyard.

"Shopkeeper! The shopkeeper's quick door! ”

The little guy slapped the inside of the back room, and shouted urgently, "Something's wrong!" Shopkeeper, something is wrong! ”

"In the middle of the night, what are you doing here if you don't clean up the front hall?!"

The shopkeeper had just laid down, and he hurriedly got up and scolded and put on his clothes and opened the door.

"Do you remember that in our store, there were two girls who lived in the hotel in the afternoon?" The little guy yelled without a head or an end, "Something happened to the two of them!" ”

Hearing that something happened to the guest, the shopkeeper couldn't help but be surprised.

He hurried to the guest room on the second floor and asked, "What's wrong?" But don't be dead! ”

"Don't, it's not in the store, it's gone!"

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper looked confused, stood in the front hall and said to the little guy, "Gone?" Didn't check out? ”

"Hey! No! ”

The little guy who was stirred up by the shopkeeper couldn't tell it clearly, he directly pressed the other party's hand and said very quickly.

"There is a man wearing the Xiao family's military uniform who just picked them up, I was afraid that something would happen, so they took a special look when they left, and the carriage is indeed the one often used by the Xiao family."

Hearing the Xiao family, the shopkeeper's worried heart suddenly fell back to his belly.

He couldn't help but yawn and wave his hand, and began to walk slowly towards the back room in the back hall.

"This idea is also worth your surprise, the Xiao family is the safest place in Fengcheng."

Who knew that he hadn't been leisurely for a moment, and the little guy's next words made him almost fall to the ground in shock.

"Shopkeeper, you never thought that maybe it wasn't someone from the Xiao family who came to pick them up?!"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a few seconds, looking at the little guy.

The other party continued: "Old General Xiao is higher than the official position of our county order, it is more appropriate to summon guests during the day, which white family will receive people into the mansion in the middle of the night?" And they are two girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet! ”

"Also, I just remembered that there were a few obvious knife marks from the dagger on the right side of the carriage, but the one that picked up the two girls had no knife marks at all!"

"Someone must have come out of the Xiao Mansion and the carriage and horses to deceive the two girls!"

"If something really happens after someone is picked up, our Qingfeng Building will also be involved in this lawsuit, and when the reputation is stinky, who will come to stay in our Qingfeng Building."

"If those two don't just have an accident, but ......"

"Maybe, we will be convicted of complicity and imprisoned!"

Xiaowu's analysis coupled with his concern for Qingfeng Lou made the shopkeeper have to pay attention to it.

He anxiously paced back and forth in the front hall and asked in a low voice, "You just said that the carriage is exactly the same as the Xiao family, but there are no scratches?" ”

"How can you be sure that the Xiao family didn't repair it themselves, so it's gone."

"Impossible." The little servant said firmly, "I am familiar with the horsemen of the Xiao family, and I once talked about the meaning of this scratch. ”

"The scratch is made every time Old Man Xiao measures the height of the little grandson, in order to commemorate the growth of the little grandson, he specially ordered someone not to repair it, so it must not be a repaired carriage."
