"This military master, we are just civilians passing by here, this city gate blockade will not be for no reason, it must be like this when something big happens, may I ask what the hell is going on, you tell everyone, think of a way together, maybe the city gate will be opened as soon as possible."

"Merchant from out of town......" The guard carefully looked at the two people in front of him, and then glanced at the carriage behind him, "Now, the person who came from out of town and left in a hurry is the most suspicious, I think you should stay in the town obediently, and when the matter is settled, you will be fine." ”

"Falling out of the water?" Su Qingyan pondered, "Could it be that there was a theft incident in the town?" ”

The guard raised her eyebrows, she would guess it with some surprise, hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "Master Tang is a famous rich man in Chunfeng Town, and his son Tang Yuan lost a piece of jade pendant in the market today, saying that this jade pendant is priceless and must be found." ”

Su Qingyan frowned, and had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart: "If the jade pendant is lost, report to the official to find a thief, what does this have to do with blocking the city gate?" ”

The guard said: "Master Tang and our town elder are brothers who grew up wearing a pair of pants, the Tang family is confused, how can the adults stand by and watch, as long as this jade pendant is not found for a day, this city gate will not be opened for a day." ”

"That's too much, isn't it?" Lu Tianhui reprimanded angrily, "If the city gate is not opened, what will happen to those merchants and people who come and go between the town and the village, will they all be trapped in the town?" ”

The troubles behind the scenes are actually what the guards care about.

"This is an order from the town chief, we just did it, besides, that jade pendant is worth a lot of money, the thief stole it, he definitely wants to take it out of Chunfeng Town as soon as possible, and now no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Snort." Lu Tianhui gritted his back molars, he didn't want to spend the night in this town at all.

"Forget it, Ah Lin, or we'll stay for one more day." Su Qingyan patted the man on the back and comforted, "It's still too reluctant to get to the second town in one day, and I don't want to sleep in the carriage today." ”

Now that Su Qingyan has spoken, Lu Tianhui no longer cares.

"Alright then, let's go back to the inn and settle down first, and leave as soon as the city gate opens."

The guard watched the carriage depart, and turned back to his post.

The streets were crowded with people, and the carriage was slowly walking on the road, and a man who passed by him threw something in his hand.

A white shadow flashed, and a soft crashing sound reached the car, and Su Qingyan raised his head suspiciously, staring at the ceiling of the carriage.

It seems that something has just landed on the roof of the carriage.

Su Qingyan lifted the curtain and glanced out, and a tall man passed by the carriage, and there was nothing else.

Back at the inn, Lu Tianhui opened an upper room, and Su Qingyan sat by the window boredly, watching the people on the street below come and go.

"It is unbelievable that a rich man can throw away his jade pendant and alarm the mayor to blockade the town." Su Qingyan held his cheeks, "Actually, you only need to check everyone who enters and exits the city gate, as long as the other party does not have a jade pendant, you can let them go, isn't this method better to find." ”

Lu Tianhui complained twice: "What did you stop me from just now, as long as you talk to him and reveal your identity, I don't believe they won't dare to let me go." ”

"When we go out, it's not good to expose our identities all the time, so if we can avoid it, it's not a danger to our lives."

Su Qingyan knew that he was not angry, so he poured a cup of tea himself, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Obediently, don't be angry, this Spring Breeze Town is surrounded by mountains, warm in winter and cool in summer, it is a good place, let's stay for one more night, it doesn't hurt." ”

Lu Tianhui's anger smoothed out, and he said: "I just can't get angry with the attitude of the guards, if you want to catch the thief, just arrest it, it's the business of the government, such a blockade of the city gate that is not allowed to enter and exit, those who come to the town from the village to buy, stay out overnight, lest something happen." ”

After a cup of tea, Su Qingyan hooked the corners of his mouth: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you have experienced it?" ”

A sentence fell into memory, and Lu Tianhui said eloquently: "In Chuanling Town before, the eldest sister was also Zhang Mei, once when she went to the town, she was restrained by an unwarranted thing, and she was trapped in Chuanling Town overnight and did not return. ”

"This world is malicious to women, it's just a trivial matter, and after this matter spread to Qixing Village, it became an ugly thing, and everyone ridiculed it, saying that the daughter of our Zhang family went out with a man and didn't return overnight, which damaged her reputation, so that no one in the township dared to come to Zhang's house to propose marriage."

Su Qingyan suddenly realized: "It turns out that the eldest sister is in her thirties and unmarried, is it because of this?" ”

"Sort of." Lu Tianhui bowed his head, "The eldest sister is indeed not a virtuous person, everyone sees it in their eyes, and there is such a stigma in her body, and she is even spurned by others, so she is jealous of Zhang Qiaolian and walks on the wrong path." ”

Su Qingyan listened with relish, and said: "Your eldest sister is indeed not a good stubble, according to me, the entire Qixing Village is afraid of her, and only a rich family like the He family can suppress her, otherwise no matter which family she marries, she will be jumping." ”

After experiencing the last time he touched porcelain on the street, Su Qingyan didn't have any thoughts about wandering on the street today.

"Ah Lin, I want to take a bath." Sniffing his sleeve, Su Qingyan said lightly.

"Now?"

"Well, I didn't take a shower when I went to bed yesterday."

"Okay, I'll go and ask Xiao Er to prepare hot water, you wait."

Whatever the guest wants, just go downstairs and say it.

As soon as Lu Tianhui finished ordering hot water, he looked up and saw a group of people dressed as servants coming, and the people eating in the store were frightened.

The head of the yacha grabbed the shopkeeper and said hatefully: "Tang Yuangongzi's jade pendant is lost, Lord Geng said, every place must be searched carefully, who are you staying here today?" ”

The shopkeeper wanted to cry without tears, and said pitifully: "Official, there are more people checking out of this inn every day, I don't know which one you are looking for." ”

"Tang Yuan's jade pendant was thrown on the street, either it was stolen, or it was picked up by someone and was unwilling to return it, no matter who it was, Lord Geng said, even if the entire Chunfeng Town is turned up, it must be found."

"Give me a search one by one!"

The government gave an order, and all the officials rushed up to the second and third floors, searching room by room.

This kind of offending customers and hurting people, the shopkeeper is in a hurry.

"Oh, gentlemen, you can't search like this, all the distinguished guests in this store, so offended, how can you let me open this small shop in the future."

The door was violently opened, and the guests in the house were startled, and the house was searched, not counting, but also checking the package.

The guests were all angry, and after checking out, they all went downstairs with their things to find the shopkeeper to check out.

Su Qingyan's room is the upper room, which is wide and has a good line of sight, and Su Qingyan also likes to sit by the window and look at the scenery of the street downstairs.

Lu Tianhui turned over and walked to the corridor on the third floor, and saw the shopkeeper following behind the yacha with a bitter mouth, and begged bitterly: "Official, you have checked the first and second floors, there is nothing, this third floor is the upper room, the guests are not bad money, it is impossible to steal jade pendants, the official is still good, forget it." ”

"Forget it, you said forget it?" Yacha pouted his teeth and looked a little underwhelmed, "This Lord Geng's order, every one has to be carefully checked, do you dare not listen?" ”

"No, no, no, no." The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again, and the people should not fight with the officials, and would rather offend the guests than offend the yacha.
