Even if there were no roadblockers, Shen Nianyi stood in front of the door of the room where Xiuniang lived, and knocked twice politely, and a hoarse shout suddenly came from the house: "Get out, I didn't say it, don't bother me, get out!" ”

The tone was very fierce, but it sounded like a weak toss, Shen Nianyi reported to his home in a deep voice: "Dali Temple, Shen Nianyi." ”

The room suddenly became quiet, and he also had the patience to wait, and after a while, the door was opened, and Xiuniang walked out, her face was as pale as a ghost, not like she was sick, but like she had hit an evil spirit.

"It doesn't taste good to lie, especially in front of a dead person." Shen Nianyi said slowly.

Xiuniang listened to him not to open which pot, so angry that her eyebrows rose, she was a single woman who can be the shopkeeper of the inn, and she is not a vegetarian role, she is holding back her anger at this time, and she can't send it, she bit her lip and said: "Since you can't hide anything from Lord Shen, why didn't you expose my lies at that time?" ”

"At that time, I just thought it was the normal reaction of an ordinary woman when she saw a corpse."

Xiuniang sighed and said: "It's really a hell of a life, wait for me to comb my hair, change my clothes and come out, and talk to Lord Shen in detail." ”

Shen Nian didn't change his face: "Then I'll wait here." ”

"Shen Shaoqing, are you still afraid that I will find an excuse to climb out of the window and run away, if I did, I would have run away a long time ago." Xiuniang opened her throat, and her voice was very high.

"I'm not worried that you'll run, just maybe someone will crawl in through the window." Before Shen Nianyi's words fell, Xiuniang had already run out in a panic, holding a handful of long hair in her hand, and he couldn't have asked more seriously, "When did you see that dead man?" ”

"It was the day before." Xiuniang simply didn't comb her hair, let it be scattered, and pushed the door, "Shen Shaoqing doesn't have to stand outside to avoid suspicion, if you are afraid that the girl who traveled with you last time will misunderstand, then we will sit in the lobby and say the same." ”

As soon as she was angry, the taste of the children of the rivers and lakes was revealed, Shen Nianyi was polite, nodded at her, stepped into the door without hesitation, left Xiuniang standing there, poked her head out and shouted downstairs: "It's all eyeless, don't hurry up and burn the wine, fry two side dishes and send them up." ”

After a while, the warm food and wine were sent in, and the house was actually very neat, only Xiuniang disregarded decency, her hair was scattered, her hands were on her chest, and there was a sneer on her face.

"Shen Shaoqing used to be the most old-fashioned and polite person, but I didn't expect to be easily changed by a young girl." Xiuniang snorted twice, Shen Nianyi had already poured a glass of wine by herself, and drank it slowly, she glared twice, this fist hit out, and the other party was like a cotton ball, so that she couldn't use her strength at all, but it made her even more unreasonable.

"Is it that without the gold-lettered signboard of General Ning, Shen Shaoqing can immediately bring people back to Dali Temple for interrogation, where will he stay here, and speak in a good voice, I should really be deeply honored."

"When did you see him, what did he come to heaven for, and why did you refuse to admit that you had met at that time?" As soon as Shen Nian took a sip of wine and asked a word, all the arrogance of Xiuniang was suppressed by the hidden needle in the mianli, "Dali Temple is not a place for heavy punishment and cruel officials, even if you are invited to go, it is also a good courtesy, you don't have to be afraid of being like this." ”

"What am I afraid of, I didn't kill people!"

"But you lied." Shen Nianyi poured another glass of wine for himself, "Wine is good wine, and it is not inferior to the imperial diet." ”

"Good end of a person I have just seen, just died in such an unknown way, who is on the head, who is not afraid, I am not your Dali Temple's Xiao Tang, in front of a room of dead people, can still eat noodles Xili snoring, it is not as good as that little girl, a corpse smells, and is willing to run around with you."

"You're also a man who has seen the world." Shen Nianyi put down the wine glass, if others said that they stinked at most, they would definitely not say that it was a corpse smell, Xiuniang should have seen dead people, and even more than one or two.

"If this world were to count the dead people I had seen, I would have seen quite a few." Xiuniang suddenly restrained her anger and sat down opposite him, "Six years ago, there was a great drought in the north, and there was no harvest. ”

"What you said was the drought with the big locust plague, it is said that some towns are starving all over the wilderness, no one survives, when the emperor went to court, every day he looked at those official documents and sighed, the treasury official grain warehouse could not keep up with the speed of the hungry people, because of this, until today, half of the official grain warehouse is still vacant, which is the sequelae left by that time."

"Shen Shaoqing is in an important position, although he knows about these people's sufferings, he has never seen the tragic situation at that time." Xiuniang shook her head, immediately came to her senses, wiped her face, and said with a forced smile, "Why is it that talking and talking involves this irrelevant matter, Shen Shaoqing just wants to ask, when did I meet that person, and I won't hide it." ”

It was the day before that that the inn came to the dusty guests, even people with mounts, all of which were a layer of yellow sand, Xiao Er had a good eye, led the horses to the backyard, said that it was to wash and wash, and asked each other with a smile, but from the northwest, the man snorted, sat down in the lobby, and ordered a few simple side dishes.

Xiuniang happened to come down from upstairs, and the regular customers got up to say hello, she responded with a smile, her eyes stayed on that person's body, her back looked tired, and her back was still straight, she knew that it was not the person she was thinking about, but she couldn't help but look at it a few more times, there were some similarities, and she couldn't explain it in words.

The person's vigilance was very high, and he directly noticed her attention, and turned his head suddenly, a very ordinary face, his eyes were sharp, Xiuniang chuckled in her heart, and the man opened his mouth first: "Boss, I don't know if I can speak further." ”

The voice is not high or low, there are already two people in the store who have heard it, intentionally or unintentionally moving closer to Xiuniang's side, there are many ill-intentioned people, and vigilance is naturally born, the person looks left and right, stops still, and seems to be waiting for Xiuniang's meaning.

Xiuniang inexplicably sent away the people around her, she knew where this person came from, or from that person, so what important news did she want to bring her, she didn't ask, her heart was already pounding.

"There's a seat over there, please change the table for this guest." Xiuniang smiled charmingly, "There are not many guests in the inn today, so it's very convenient to talk over there." ”

The man hummed lightly, stood up, Xiuniang was very careful to find that the man was wearing regular riding boots, and the soles of the boots shook off a lot of yellow sand, she asked Xiao Er to prepare another wine, and poured a glass with his own hands, the man did not take the wine glass, and after checking what he said would not be heard by others, he suddenly opened his mouth to speak.

"What did he say to you?" Shen Nian heard what she said very carefully, but suddenly stopped, raised her eyes to look at Xiuniang, and saw a strange look on her face, "What did you say about General Ning?" ”

"He said that Xia Sheng would return to Tiandu in five days, he was the advance soldier, and he would come to the ward first." When Xiuniang said this, she still seemed to be dreaming, "But I know that the general is outside, and he can't return to Tiandu easily without the emperor's order, so I thought that someone knew about my relationship with Xia Sheng and deliberately caused trouble." ”

"And what did he say to move you and make you believe him?" Shen Nianyi continued to ask.

Xiuniang is not a twisted temperament on weekdays, how to talk about the ins and outs of this matter, say a word, pause, in other listeners I am afraid that they have long been impatient, fortunately Shen Nianyi has this patience, he looks very attractive, and he can be reassuring wherever he sits, Xiuniang seems to be waiting for his question: "He showed me the token, which is a purse I embroidered for Xia Sheng." ”

"If the style is ordinary, it may also be suspected of imitation."

"Where would my own embroiderer be wrong." Xiuniang pursed her lips and laughed, the whole person was not as nervous as before, she embroidered a pair of mandarin ducks on her purse, the veins were wandering, the days were separated for a long time, and the silk threads were no longer bright, so that she seemed more cordial, so that she knew that the other party would often take it out and play with it.

Shen Nianyi really felt that the identity of the deceased was not simple, and it was just a matter of holding the golden head order in his hand, and he could even hold the intimate things of General Ning and Xiuniang in his hand: "Is the purse here with you, or is it with him?" ”

"He said he was going to give it back, so he didn't stay." Xiuniang suddenly thought of something, that person was already a corpse, "Every time you see a purse on him?" ”

If a big man was carrying such a conspicuous object, Xiao Tang would have discovered it a long time ago when he conducted the autopsy, since Xiao Tang didn't mention it, it means that the purse and the gold head order were taken away together.

It is even said that it is not only these two objects that have been taken that have been known to have come from.

"The man killed him and took the purse." Xiu Niang's voice trembled obviously, "That purse is just a plaything, what's the use of taking it!" ”

Shen Nianyi also wanted to know what was the use of taking it, whether it was purely a hand-holding, or something else, but the most important thing at the moment was the news brought by the man: "He said that in five days, General Ning will appear in Tiandu City?" ”

Xiuniang nodded and said, "I asked him why the general came back for no reason, but he refused to say." ”

"Tell you why?"

"Probably trying to settle down at the inn so as not to attract attention."

Shen Nianyi smiled playfully, in this way, the direction of the whole thing seems to be getting more and more interesting, General Ning Da just ventured back to the city, he actually wanted to live in the inn, he couldn't say that it was to relieve the pain of lovesickness, and the difference between his personality was too far, and he somewhat understood that Xiuniang wanted to hide the reason why he had seen this dead man.

First, she was really frightened, and secondly, it involved the safety of Ningxiasheng, and she wanted to hide it for a while.

However, if it is five days, that is to say, tomorrow, Ningxia will appear tomorrow!
