Chapter 405: The Assassination Case of No. 25 House Forty
The three bearded Hu Shang didn't listen to their words, and they didn't let Mu Yirong and the others go to the backyard to check.
Seocho, who was already on the verge of exploding, began to unconsciously snap his fingers and make a "click, click" sound.
"Dali Temple has the right to search people's homes, please cooperate. ”
Mu Yirong, who issued an ultimatum, stepped inward, but was blocked by three Hu merchants again.
Seocho, whose eyes shot the light of a beast, silently raised his fist, and just as the two sides were about to touch, a sharp whistle suddenly came from behind.
Hearing this shrill whistle, the three bearded Hu Shang glanced at each other, then dodged out of the way, and let Mu Yirong and Seocho go in to investigate.
Mu Yirong, who frowned slightly, walked to the backyard with Seocho and inspected the three rooms, but found no one.
However, the sharp-eyed Seocho found a few pieces of paper that had been randomly stuffed into a painting tube, secretly pulled them out, and stuffed them into Mu Yirong's hands.
Mu Yirong unfolded the crumpled paper in his hand, and found that a paragraph of text had been copied on it, and after careful identification, he was surprised to find that what was written on it was actually the test questions leaked out of this year's Enke exam.
Mu Yirong had just read the book that scholar Zhongju handed over to the eldest prince not long ago, and memorized it.
And it was later confirmed that the leaked test paper in the hands of the eldest prince was true.
This Huren shop that sells items from the Western Regions must have something to do with this year's Enke exam leak case, and the bag that sells exam questions and Teng Huangyu, who bought the exam questions, are very likely to have been here.
At this time, Ruicao, who was good at searching and finding evidence, found two drops of extremely imperceptible blood in the corner next to the bed, proving that Teng Huangyu may have been hiding here before.
Mu Yirong, who spread the evidence in front of the three Hu merchants, asked them to honestly explain where Bao Zhong and Teng Huangyu were. Otherwise, beware of their shop being seized.
The three bearded Hu Shang, who made a living in business, were frightened, and after exchanging glances with each other, Hu Shang, the tallest, spoke in a non-standard Chinese.
Hu Shang, who tasted Chinese with a mouthful of spicy soup, told Mu Yirong and the others that this room in the backyard of Jixiang Ruyi had indeed been rented to a person surnamed Bao to rest here.
But the other party usually doesn't go to the front shop, but only enters and exits through the back door, so they don't know what he did. As for Teng Huangyu, they don't know each other at all.
Mu Yirong handed the leaked test papers copied on a few pieces of paper to the three Hu merchants and asked them what they were.
The bearded Hu Shang all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know many Chinese characters and didn't know what was written on them.
These sheets of paper for transcribing test questions were randomly stuffed into the drawing tube, which shows that people were in a hurry at that time.
Maybe when Mu Yirong and Ruicao came to the front of the auspicious Ruyi store, Teng Huangyu and his accomplices, who heard the rumors, took the opportunity to escape through the back door.
Mu Yirong secretly said that he was careless, he and Seocho should guard the front and back doors separately.
Now that I am tracking from the back door, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find Teng Huangyu's traces.
Ruicao, who didn't quite believe what the three Hu merchants said, asked the three to confess honestly, or escorted them back to Dali Temple for interrogation.
The three Hu Shang looked at each other again, and the tallest Hu Shang suddenly lowered his voice and said a few words to his companion in Hu that Seocho couldn't understand.
Immediately afterwards, the other two also spoke and discussed in a whisper.
Just when the three of them were discussing hotly, Mu Yirong suddenly spoke, speaking in Hu language, as if asking the three of them something, which made Ruicao and the three Hu businessmen stunned at the same time, neither expected that he would speak Hu language.
At this moment, the faces of the three Hu people became a little ugly, and after glancing at each other uncomfortably, they communicated with Mu Yirong in Hu language.
After a long while, their discussion was completely over, Mu Yirong showed a satisfied smile, and the three Hu merchants put their right hands on their chests and bowed to Mu Yirong and Seocho.
Mu Yirong left Jixiang Ruyi with a confused Seocho, and crossed the threshold, Seocho glanced back at the three bearded Hu merchants in the store, and asked Mu Yirong what he had just said to them?
"They were just discussing whether or not to tell us about another hiding place in that bag. I warned them not to be slippery, and to be careful that their shop was actually closed. ”
Seocho's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her tone rose: "There is another hiding place in the bag, where is it?"
"His own home. ”
This answer is really unexpected, but it is reasonable.
"How can you speak nonsense?"
asked the curious Seocho in his heart, and felt that Mu Yirong, who could speak Hu, was very remarkable.
She remembers that when she first learned human language, she almost bit her tongue off.
And this nonsense sounded like a braised egg in her mouth, laborious and indistinct, and if she wanted to learn it, she was afraid that she would have to grow ten tongues.
Mu Yirong smiled and took Ruicao's hand: "I am friends with Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, he is proficient in the language of many places in the Western Regions, I learned from him." If you want to learn, I can teach you. ”
Forget it, Seocho still wants to keep her only tongue to speak.
As she spoke, she also stretched out her little tongue and complained to Mu Yirong that when she was learning human language, she often bit her tongue, and now those scars have completely healed, but she doesn't want to add new injuries.
Looking at Seocho's cute and aggrieved appearance, Mu Yirong held Seocho's hand tighter.
"Good work. When this case is over, let's get married!"
Seocho is indeed very hard, but what does Mu Yirong mean by what he said later?
Ruicao, who opened her eyes widely, asked Mu Yirong a little ignorantly: "What did you just say?"
Mu Yirong, who stopped, stared into Seocho's eyes with his eyes, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I haven't asked you what you think." Do you want to marry me?"
After living for more than 500 years, he didn't know what a shy and throbbing Seocho was, and suddenly found that he didn't dare to look at Mu Yirong's eyes, and two red glows appeared on his face.
Mu Yirong was not in a hurry, his eyes stared at Seocho affectionately, as if there was spring water rippling in his eyes.
"I don't know what to promise you, but I promise you happiness. ”
After Mu Yirong finished speaking, he took Ruicao into his arms.
Seocho, whose heart was beating like a drum, experienced for the first time that her heart felt as if it was about to melt, and her whole body seemed to turn into cotton, soft.
At this moment, she remembered many idioms that the Hundred Flowers Fairy had taught her, such as holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, getting along with each other, raising the case and raising eyebrows, and so on.
But after brewing for a long time, she only spit out a word full of a thousand emotions, "Okay." ”
