077 The ship docked
Yeats kicked the dirty laundry under the bed as they entered.
Mingzhu came in and asked softly, "Is Lord Ye better?" ”
Yeats nodded awkwardly, drinking the seasickness decoction was indeed much better.
"Let's have something to eat, then." Mingzhu asked Pearl to go out to get food, she turned around to clean up the room, and even opened the window to dissipate the smell, "My lord, if you feel cold, the slave will close it." ”
"It's okay, let's take a look." Yeats wanted to take them away, sitting on the edge of the bed, his legs covering the dirty clothes under the bed.
As if they hadn't noticed anything under the bed, the two girls waited for Yeats to eat and sleep well before exiting the room.
In the night, Yeats lay on the bed, and said to himself, this kind of sneaky day in disguise as a man is really inconvenient, and he fell asleep with a sigh.
In the opposite room, Pei Jingning was still reading the official document, and the two girls came in lightly to salute.
"How?" He put down the official document, the door was closed, and he couldn't see anything, but he still subconsciously looked towards the opposite door.
Mingzhu replied softly, "Master Hui, Lord Ye's moon is here, and the whole person looks very weak. ”
Pei Jingning stroked her forehead, this was the day she first found out, shouldn't she be allowed to come to Pinghu?
The two girls stood quietly in the dim light.
After a long while, Pei Jingning spoke, "Take care of her." ”
"Yes, master."
"Prepare a few more sets of regular clothes."
"Yes, sir."
"Let's go down!"
The two girls quietly withdrew.
Pei Jingning stared at the oil lamp in a daze.
Outside the door, the two girls walked away, and Bai Lang quietly approached to close the door for the master, and hid to Mo Song's side, his voice was extremely low, "Did you say that the master took care of the princess like this?" ”
Mo Song hugged his sword, "We have been following the master for many years, and we have seen everything that should be seen, has the master taken care of the princess like this, don't you know?" ”
Ask while knowing the answer.
"What then?" Ye has never even served the princess in person, isn't the surname Ye the most important in the heart of the master?
God, when did the surname Ye get into the heart of the master like this, and it took up such a large area, how can this be good?
Bai Lang died of sorrow.
Yeats took advantage of seasickness, avoided everyone in the room, and waited until the day was clean before coming out, standing on the deck with a feeling of sudden separation.
Thousands of miles of Gangneung in one day.
The boat ride was really fast, and it took three to five days to go to Shanyang County in the Huaihe River Valley, and the ship stopped to replenish the shore.
Pei Jingning was wearing a dark color regular clothes, as if he had something to do, so he went ashore first, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Yeats thought about it for a while, the double corpse case was just a case of private economic disputes, and it stands to reason that it was not the turn of a high-ranking official like Sanpin to personally pay attention to it, perhaps, Pei Shaoqing might have something else to do on this business trip.
Big people naturally have big things, and Yeats and others went ashore as happily as the wind.
Although Sanyang is a small county, it is an important supply city on the side of the canal, and it is relatively prosperous.
The crowd first went shopping for a snack street to fill their bellies, and the boat was going to stop for two days, so they were not in a hurry to go back, and everyone went to the downtown to watch juggling.
Crowded in the crowd, Yeats watched the acrobat spit fire and was getting up, and suddenly, behind the crowd opposite, someone glanced at her and quickly turned away.
Yeats's eyes immediately rose, and she confirmed that she had not seen this person, but this person seemed to know her.
Shanyang is nearly a thousand miles away from the capital, she is a small catcher from Jiangzhou in the north, how can there be people on the side of the South Canal?
When Yeats was in Jiangzhou, except for two or three years in the martial arts hall, the rest liked to stay at home, basically did not socialize with people and had no friends, and after arriving in the capital, Yeats was sure that he had never seen this person.
Yeats squeezed out of the crowd to chase after him, and in the blink of an eye, the man was gone.
Yang Fuquan followed, "Brother Ye, what's wrong?" ”
"It's fine." Yeats looked around warily, making sure that no one noticed the group again.
Teng Chong saw that Yeats and Xiao Quanzi were gone, and hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, "What's wrong?" ”
Yeats shook his head, "It's okay." ”
The big guy was not in the mood to watch the juggling and was ready to go back to the boat, Pei Jingning's guards found them, "The master ordered dinner in the Star Picking Tower, if you have almost finished shopping, you can go with the little one." ”
No one wanted to go shopping, so they went to the Star Tower with the guards.
Teng Chong shouted close to the guard, "Brother, may I ask your name ......?"
"In the lower row of thirteen, everyone calls me thirteen."
For some reason, Yeats remembered the swear words of a certain modern city - thirteen o'clock, is this name too arbitrary.
Yeats and the others thought that Pei Jingning would eat together, but they ordered a table for them, and he didn't show up at all, but Teng Chong and them were very relaxed, and they ate very happily, and they didn't stagger back to the boat until it was dark, but they didn't expect to meet someone who hanged himself at the dock.
Teng Chong ate the wine, a little drunk, and when he heard that someone had committed suicide, he seemed very excited, so he had to go over to join in the fun, and even joked: "Maybe it wasn't hanged but murdered, Brother Ye, you are good at this, do you want to go over and have a look?" ”
Yeats blanked his eyes and tried to pretend not to know him.
As a result, he flashed his saber at his waist and squeezed into the crowd with a shout, "Get out of the way...... Get out of the way...... I'm a fast catcher from the government, where is the hanging......"
In the night, someone heard that the government was arresting, and they were so frightened that they hid quietly in the night.
Qin Dachuan looked at Yeats, who was unbearable, "Do you want to take care of this idle matter?" ”
She'd like to avoid it! But Brother Teng was really idle and had already squeezed in, so she had to follow and squeeze into the crowd.
At night, the dockside is brightly lit, and the large and small boats look at it from afar, densely packed, which can make people feel dense phobia.
Hearing that the people in the government, ordinary people were instinctively afraid, and hurriedly pointed out to Teng Chong and the others, "Yao, it's that boat." ”
Yeats looked over, it was a small cargo ship, I don't know what was in the hold, I couldn't see it under the tarpaulin, the stern wooden plank assembled room, at the moment, the room was open, through the lantern hanging high on the pier, I saw a rope hanging on the roof, and I didn't see anyone hanging.
"What about people?" Teng Chong pinned the big knife to the springboard.
An onlooker replied to him, "Man lying on the bed." ”
"Male or female?" Teng Chong asked as he walked.
"The woman is a woman in her thirties, who has done evil, and for some reason she hanged herself without thinking about it."
Teng Chong asked again: "What about her family?" ”
"Ah, her husband fainted crying, and lay on his back on the aft deck."
Teng Chong had already stood at the door of the plank room, and looked in, and a middle-aged woman who had experienced the vicissitudes of life was lying lifelessly on the plank bed in the cabin.
When Yeats got on the gangplank, he asked the people gathered around the boat, "Who else is there in this boat besides the two of them?" ”
"No, just the two of them."
Yeats nodded and smiled, "Thank you, big brother." ”
The onlookers were thanked by a delicate official, and instantly became shy and excited, "The official is polite!" ”
