Chapter 156: There is no escape

"Got it."

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that Shen Tong had already stood in front of the crowd at some point, he waved at his subordinates, and those little guys turned to carry the corpses to the side of the cart.

After the order, Shen Tongwei turned his face to one side, but his eyes were directly opposite Mu Jingzhao on the side, he looked at Mu Jingzhao and the others, and his face showed a little surprise.

"Childe, ma'am." Shen Tong bowed slightly to the two.

When Jiang Ning heard the movement, he quickly got up and stood up straight, and smiled at Shen Tong with some embarrassment.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

The embarrassment on her face was even worse, and she was thinking about how to speak, and Mu Jingzhao on the side took the lead to speak, "Ning Er accidentally saw the corpse under the white cloth. ”

"Madame has really worked hard, and I will instruct my subordinates to prepare some calming decoction for Madame later."

"Thank you, sir."

During the conversation of the three of them, the women who had originally gathered around the two of them seemed to finally understand that these two were not ordinary businessmen, so they couldn't help but spread out to the surroundings, consciously leaving a large space for the three of them.

And Mu Jingzhao's eyes were always fixed on the small guy who was constantly transporting the corpses on the side.

As if he understood the doubts in Mu Jingzhao's eyes, he slowly spoke, "Originally, the county order here was killed, and these corpses could not be dealt with in a centralized manner, but now that the old minister is here, he must deal with these things properly." ”

Mu Jingzhao nodded slightly appreciatively, "It's hard to be kind to the adult." ”

After a while, all the little guys loaded all the corpses onto the cart, and a lean guy jumped into the carriage and shouted in the direction of Mu Jingzhao and his party, "My lord, everything is ready." ”

Shen Tong raised his voice to the subordinates on the side, and then turned his head to say goodbye to Mu Jingzhao and the others, and then left.

When Shen Tong left completely, the women present no longer had the slightest intention of talking to Mu Jingzhao and the others, they looked at Jiang Ning and Mu Jingzhao with expressions of pity or vigilance.

"Let's go." Mu Jingzhao turned his head to look at the smoke-billowing Zhang Mansion behind him, glanced at Shen Tong who was driving away, turned around and helped Jiang Ning to step into the car.

"Childe, where are we going next?"

Mu Jingzhao pondered for a moment, "Go to the city and find out if there are any inns that are still open." ”

"Yes." As soon as Li Zinian raised the reins, the carriage drove out quickly.

In the carriage, Mu Jingzhao and Jiang Ning were silent with each other, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.

"What do you think?" Mu Jingzhao was the first to ask.

Jiang Ning was silent for a moment, countless thoughts flew through his mind, and finally only a few words came out of his mouth, "It's almost our turn." ”

Mu Jingzhao's face sank a little more.

"It is almost impossible for the emperor to move out of that house quietly now."

Mu Jingzhao propped his elbows on the car window and rubbed his temples a little tiredly, "You have to try." ”

The carriage stopped in front of an elegantly decorated restaurant, and Li Zinian spoke in front of the car, "Childe, the slave will go and ask first." ”

With that, he trotted into the restaurant, and in less than half a pillar of incense, he trotted out again.

"The shopkeeper said that the room was full, and the slave drove to the next one."

I ran to countless places like this, and the result was that the rooms were full.

"The minions will go to the next one."

Mu Jingzhao rubbed his eyebrows, his expression was a little indescribably tired, "No need, just find a place to eat." ”

Li Zinian answered and drove forward again.

In fact, the result of being rejected from the door, you don't have to think about it to guess that everyone in the city is now in danger, even if there are inns willing to risk being beaten to open a shop, they will never dare to take their kind of business, dragging their families.

In case he is targeted by those thieves, his restaurant is affected, his foundation for many years is burned, and he accidentally loses his life, which is not enough money to earn back.

The carriage went around the city for a long time, but there was not even a place to sit and rest and eat.

Now that noon has passed, it has long been past the time to have lunch, and some large restaurants have simply closed their doors for their own safety and no longer accept them.

The carriage circled around the city like a headless fly for a long time, but there was still not a place to stop and eat.

It really has the flavor of the unmanned empty city in Lin Zheng's words.

Mu Jingzhao turned his head to look at her, "Do you know where to eat?" ”

Jiang Ning thought for a while, "Sometimes there is, but I don't know if I can get into the emperor's eyes." ”

Now, Mu Jingzhao naturally has no reason to be picky, so he let Jiang Ning show Li Zinian.

The carriage twisted and walked into a deserted alley, and during the whole process, Mu Jingzhao always had a solemn expression and did not speak.

She suddenly wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but as soon as she opened her mouth, it became brainless nonsense, "Isn't the emperor afraid that I will take this opportunity to do something to the emperor?" ”

Mu Jingzhao looked up at her, his expression was inexplicable, and the solemnity on his face finally eased a little, "You're just not very smart, it's not that you don't have brains." ”

Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Ning gasped, and the thought of giving Mu Jingzhao a few knives rose in his heart for no reason.

Xu Shi also realized that his tone was a little unkind, and his tone changed, "Of course I believe you." ”

These two words of both soft and hard instantly made Jiang Ning lose her temper, she was not angry, nor was she moved, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she simply rolled her eyes at Mu Jingzhao and stopped talking.

The speed of the carriage gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, in front of the carriage, Li Zinian raised his voice and asked, "Madam, the place you said has arrived." ”

The tangled expression on Jiang Ning's face finally turned into a somewhat gentle smile, and she stretched out her hand to Mu Jingzhao, "Please, Childe." ”

Mu Jingzhao smiled slightly, reached out and held Jiang Ning's hand.

The two got out of the car together, Jiang Ning felt that the action was a little inappropriate for a while, and he struggled suddenly, but Mu Jingzhao held it tighter.

She simply gave up.

She led Mu Jingzhao towards a small stall with a tarpaulin.

The stall was extremely simple, with only a large cauldron and a simple table and chairs.

The iron pot with the lid on it was steaming outward, and a woman in a cloth dress was sitting on a bamboo chair playing tons on the edge of the iron pot, thinking that it was the owner of the stall.

The woman's face was covered with a banana fan, which rose and fell as she breathed.

"Old-" Mu Jingzhao opened his mouth and was about to wake up the boss, but was stopped by Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning walked slowly, risking his waist and was about to step forward, taking two steps, only then did he realize that one of his hands was being held by Mu Jingzhao.

Jiang Ning raised his hand helplessly, and Mu Jingzhao let go.

She risked her waist and walked slowly to the boss, carefully grasping the handle of the banana fan on her face.

The sunlight was caught off guard, the boss struggled a few times and showed his impatience, and as soon as he saw Jiang Ning in front of him, he wanted to scold people. (End of chapter)
