Chapter 25 The young owner of the money house

Compared with the storm that more than a dozen lives had been broken and more than half of the people in charge of Mujian Pavilion, the whereabouts of Lingxiu Wu'e were only to settle the incident with Emei, so the tension and urgency were naturally much less.

Once they left the mountainside, Cui Bing's identity no longer needed to be deliberately concealed. Except for Nangong Xing who was still occasionally showing a look of thinking about something, the rest of the people seemed much more relaxed.

Bai Ruolan was allowed to walk around the world for the first time in her life. The bad luck of doing some funerals was swept away. Even the scenery around the mountain road that had been tired of seeing was very pleasant. Even she pretended to be heroic and neat, she forgot her completely. Her eyebrows were open and she smiled like a doll with a mouthful of candy stuffed

It was not until the foot of the mountain that I met Tang Xin who had been waiting here for a long time. The team of two men and two women was squeezed into one person. Bai Ruolan remembered that she should look like a female hero, and finally returned to normal.

Tang Xin worked a lot when she was in the Bai family. She stayed in the farmhouse for a long time just to accompany her. Of course, Bai Ruolan would not refuse. Although Bai Ruoyun felt that it was inappropriate, she did not want to affect her relationship with the Tang Sect, so she had to nod and agree.

But although Tang Xin said that she was trying to investigate what was wrong with the Emei Sect and was worthy of her responsibility for collecting information, she felt that her thoughts were obviously more focused on Nangong Xing after she was on the road.

It's not the kind of care that makes Cui Bing jealous, but the secret intention that is so clear that it is almost unconcealed.

Shortly after getting on the road, Bai Ruolan couldn't help but pull Tang Xin and walked a few steps ahead and asked secretly: Sister Tang, is there something you are interested in hidden in Xiaoxing?

Tang Xin shook her head, turned her face and looked at the alert in Nangong Xing's eyes, and chuckled: It's not something, but he doesn't want to know more about him?

Bai Ruolan rolled her eyes and smiled: To be honest, don't think I had a life-long relationship with him when I was a child, but I know nothing more than you. She pulled Tang Xin's sleeve and whispered, Actually, I asked Cui Bing secretly the day before yesterday, but she didn't know anything.

Then are you still so relieved? Don't ask him for a good question? Tang Xin glanced at her with a smile and said

Bai Ruolan immediately shook her head and said with a smile: When I want to know something, I will naturally ask him. I don’t know so much. In fact, it’s quite interesting. I don’t have anything to worry about him. If he wanted to harm me, I would have died seven or eight hundred times long ago.

Tang Xin patted her on the shoulder and said: What if what he wants is not your life?

Bai Ruolan was stunned and immediately said: He is so capable, can he have anything he wants on me that he can't take?

Tang Xin smiled and pulled her and said: No, no, you know, if you really want it, you will definitely take it away.

Bai Ruolan scratched her temples and felt that Tang Xin seemed to have something in her words, but she couldn't hear it. She simply asked: Sister Tang, what about you? Don't you want to know about him more than me, so why don't you ask directly?

I haven't asked, but I just hit a big nail

After muttering in his heart, Tang Xin smiled and said: I don’t have that ability. You have saved him, but I have never saved him. If you ask him, you are willing to say, I ask Ah... I must be asking for trouble.

A light flashed in Bai Ruolan's eyes and she suddenly said: Sister Tang, what do you want to ask? Why don't you tell me and I'll ask for you?

Tang Xin opened her mouth and wanted to answer, but suddenly woke up. When she said something, she changed her mouth and said: I think...uh...it's actually nothing important. Maybe I'll help you more, and he'll tell me.

I was almost caught talking, Tang Xin remembered now, Bai Ruolan might not have enough experience in the world, and she seemed innocent and dull before she started to fall in love, but she was definitely not a fool

The antidote that saved Bai Tianying was obviously not effective enough to make the Bai family daughter completely let her go of her carelessness.

Before the two of them had a few conversations, Cui Bing got involved.

After she no longer pretended to be a girl, she wanted to make up for all the things she had not said before, chatting all the way, like a little bird hovering on the treetops

Bai Ruoyun was so speechless that Nangong Xing was much silent than usual, so she naturally could only join Bai Ruolan and Tang Xin.

Tang Xin deliberately pleased Cui Bing, and Bai Cui and his two girls had already made friends. The three of them had a harmonious conversation. During the chat, they unconsciously pulled the topic away and stopped circling around Nangong Xing.

Although the itinerary is not rushing, I can't walk all the way to Luyang with my legs. Not far from the nearest station on the official road, there is a small horse farm.

The horses inside are small in quantity and poor in quality, and the price is much more expensive than those in the nearby Yangliang Town. They rely on the advantage of the land to earn the oil and water of those who have to transfer near the inn.

However, Bai Ruoyun and his sister were very fucked, and Tang Xin also took out a golden leaf from his arms, which made the horse farm owner's eyes pop out. Nangong Xing was not short of money, but Bai Ruolan and Tang Xin refused to ask him to pay the bill. After a dispute, Tang Xin chose a general from the short mane and chose a decent yellow mane to give him.

Five people bought four of them. The best rouge horse was ridden by Bai Ruolan and Cui Bing. Sixteen horse hooves followed their slight shouts and they rolled up dust and went to Yangliang Town.

Yangliang and Lu Yang are not in the same direction, but firstly, Lingxiu Wu'e settled in Yangliang when she came. I wonder if there would be any clues. Secondly, Chunhong's funeral in Fuguilou is still waiting to be settled, so she has to leave first.

Bayi County is the largest county in northern Shuzhou, and Yangliang County is the largest county among counties, and it is prosperous and even far superior to the county town. Yangliang Town is the location of almost all the larger markets in the county. A few years ago, the county magistrate simply moved the yamen to the town. When talking about Yangliang, the business travelers refer to the location of the town.

The owner of Fugui Building is also in charge of the county's official prostitutes and music households. He is a semi-public and half-private landlord. Although he is a false title that is not of grade, ordinary assistant officials and county magistrates nodded and bowed when they see it.

The Bai family merchants have a very good relationship with Fuguilou. Although Mujiange is a powerful man in the world, Fuguilou is just a wealthy man who is willing to pay money. For the sake of the Bai family in another family, there are many cares about the relationship, but it is very different from each other.

Just having to go to a lady from Fugui Building once a month for three days is enough to make the madam turtle man have a headache

As a result, this time, the person was not sent back. Fortunately, the Bai family was in trouble after the accident, so Feige sent a letter to the Bai family's business people to help. The head of the other side knew that the murder case should not be neglected, so he handled and comforted him early. Fortunately, the one who died was just a lowly prostitute, which did not cause much trouble.

Therefore, the madam whom they had worked hard to see was really not good-looking. Her knife-like eyes could only be considered kind when Tang Xin and Cui Bing looked back and forth.

Chunhong's relics? Are you joking? After hearing Nangong Xing's greetings, the madam's face almost formed ice dregs. The little money she saved, plus the jewelry that the guests gave to her on weekdays, was not as big as half of her worth of redemption. It was less than 800 taels away. She was losing her life when she left this time. I was so lucky that I would vomit blood. Do you have the face to ask me for the relics?

In this situation, Bai Ruoyun really didn't know how to speak, so Bai Ruolan could only suppress her temper and remained silent. On the scene, only Nangong Xing and Tang Xin cooperated with each other and spoke happily.

In fact, silver is not a problem. This time, we were wrong first. Not only did Miss Chunhong redeem the silver, but it was natural to add a few hundred taels of compensation. Nangong Xing thought for a moment and said with a smile, we asked about the relics, just to see what objects are worth remembering for Miss Chunhong. Later, we took them up the mountain and buried with her.

After finding an excuse to take this matter over. Seeing that the madam's face was better, Nangong Xing mentioned that Chunhong planned to deceive Zhao Jing again. Zhao Jing would definitely come to Fuguilou to ask, both sides should always be kind to him.

The madam frowned and said: Chunhong is stupid, why are you stupid? Why do you guys follow him? I might as well tell you that I have heard a letter from my friend in Zhongjing for a long time. This time, the top candidate in high school was called Zhao Jing. Not only did he meet the emperor in Denglong Palace, but he was also attracted by the ranks of officials and accepted his son-in-law. How could I use it to deceive him?

Bai Ruolan's face suddenly darkened and she couldn't help but say: Is this... true?

The madam snorted and said: The infatuated woman is unfaithful and careless scholar. She has been as numerous as a cow for thousands of years. If it weren’t for the fear of hurting Chunhong’s heart, I would have cut off her hopes. In order to save this little rags, I would have refused all kinds of customers. Finally... I even paid a cheap life in my life. If Zhao Jing dared to come, I... I would have to kill him with one shoe!

I don't know what sad past was touched. At the end of the story, the madam finally shed a few tears. She felt that she was out of control. She picked up her handkerchief and wiped it. She stood up and said: We are only open at night. There is nothing else, so please come back. Remember to send the money that should be compensated for us, otherwise I will go to your business to ask for the account.

Seeing that she was leaving, Bai Ruoyun, who had been silent, suddenly said: How much money should we pay?

The madam turned her head and looked at him and said: I heard that your family is also very unlucky recently. For the sake of the old customer, I won’t want more of you. I will make up a lot. How about a thousand taels?

Bai Ruoyun nodded, got up and walked out

Bai Ruolan was also very unhappy and immediately followed her out.

As soon as she left the door, Bai Ruolan couldn't help but say: This... This is too hateful. Miss Chunhong is no longer there. Why can't the money she saved be arranged according to her last wish? Then... Zhao Jing, how could he let Chunhong down like this!

Listening to Cui Bing and Tang Xin echoing a few words, Nangong Xing interrupted: Don’t rush to make a conclusion, rumors may not be credible, it’s better to see Zhao Jing himself or his family before talking.

Bai Ruoyun turned his head and looked at the sign of Fuguilou and said: Anyway, I plan to spend the night here today. You go back to the inn first. I will ride my horse back to get the silver notes. I will pay the money here first for the account that owes such a place. I can't sleep well.

Nangong Xing frowned and thought, looked around, patted Bai Ruoyun on the shoulder, and said: No, there is no need to rush back alone for such a trivial matter, otherwise, I don’t know if I should accompany you back or wait for you with Miss Lan here.

Bai Ruoyun looked at Nangong Xing thoughtfully, and nodded for a moment before asking: But we are not enough to get enough money. Do you owe us back?

Nangong Xing smiled slightly and said: This is easy to deal with. Brother Ruoyun, you don’t want Fuguilou, what if you owe me?

Bai Ruoyun was stunned and said: Do you have so much on you?

Nangong Xing smiled and said: I don’t have it on my body, but if you mention it, you will have it.

Withdrawal of cash depends on silver bills, and redeemable bank bills depends on cash bank. No matter which one, you have to have it first.

Now the other four people were confused, but seeing that Nangong Xing was quite sure, he had to follow him skeptically.

After walking around several street corners, at the intersection where the east and north city were intersecting, Nangong Xing walked straight into a store. Everyone behind him looked up and saw the hanging plaque hanging four big words: Langhun Money House.

Bai Ruolan was stunned and hurriedly pulled Nangong Xing's sleeve in two steps and whispered: Hey, you...you are here to grab money, right? Even if someone opens a money house, there is a place where wealth is not kind, you can't rob other people's wealth and help our poor.

Nangong Xing laughed in silence, patted the back of her hand, and said: Where do you want to go? I have money here. With my secret notes, I can directly withdraw money.

Bai Ruolan opened her mouth slightly and said in a daze: Can you do this? Why have I... I have never heard of it?

Seeing the remaining people, they looked over in surprise, Nangong Xing had to explain: I am one of the owners of this money house, of course I am different from ordinary merchants.

At this time, the servant who was greeting the door happened to hear this, frowned and smiled: Oh, guest official, are you here to exchange for tickets or save money?

Nangong Xing turned around and walked to the counter, looked inside, and said: Are your shopkeepers there?

The servant said respectfully: The shopkeeper is clearing the accounts in the backyard, and the accountant is here, so the same is true for you to find him if you do it.

Nangong Xing thought for a while and said: Give me paper and pen

Although the servant looked quite suspicious, he quickly walked into the inner room and took out the paper and pen.

Nangong Xing waved his hand and painted a strange pattern on the paper that looked like words but not words but paintings but not paintings. Then he wrote a small single character on the corner of the pattern, folded it twice, and handed it to the servant's hand, saying: If you go and hand it over to your boss, you will say that the young boss is here.

Tang Xin stretched her neck and couldn't see what was on the paper. Instead, Bai Ruolan stared at her, making it boring.

After a while, the servant ran out quickly, lifted the curtain and bent down and stretched out his hand, and said respectfully: You go in, the shopkeeper is welcome.

Then my friend... Nangong Xing took a step while talking casually

The servant nodded immediately and said: I must greet you little

Bai Ruolan looked inside curiously and whispered: Can't we follow us?

The servant immediately put down the curtain and said with a smile: Sorry, the shopkeeper named him and saw you, a few of you, and the younger ones, give you tea to everyone.

Following the corridor to the backyard, passing through a winding path, Nangong Xing didn't knock on the door, but pushed open the door and walked in

Behind a black wooden table filled with accounts, a middle-aged man about forty was sitting in the room. He was frowning and staring at the account book he opened. Nangong Xing knocked on the table, and then he came to his senses and raised his head, and said with a smile: What wind blows you is to check the accounts for Boss Feng?

Manager Lu, how can I understand these books? Don’t make fun of me. Nangong Xingdao, I’m at the age of being able to do business, of course I should come out to experience it.

You have been dealing with the old Jianghu since you were born. The stable woman who delivered you is the top experts in Jianghu. How can you do it? Manager Lu closed the account book and said with a smile, "You won't come here if you're fine, don't be polite since you're here, just give me the orders just

Nangong Xing nodded, took out the silver lotus found from Lin Hu's body and handed it to Manager Lu, saying: Help me see, this one is true and fake. I remember these flowers of ours, it's quite difficult to imitate.

Manager Lu put away his smile, took the silver lotus, looked at it carefully for a while, then opened the flower stamen and looked at it for a few seconds, thought for a moment, took the inkstone, ground some ink, printed Bai Simei's name on the paper, raised the paper, looked back on the light for a moment, then answered: It's true

But why can't I touch the dark patterns under the flower support? Nangong Xing immediately asked

Manager Lu groped around the silver furong and said cautiously: The person who sent out this silver furong didn't want people to know which hall it came out, so the dark patterns were deliberately smoothed.

Seeing that Nangong Xing's face was a little solemn, Manager Lu continued: But it's not that it can't be found out. As long as the eighteen masters investigate from top to bottom, with the name Bai Simei, the insider would never run away. He looked at Nangong Xing's eyes and said lightly, "You and the owner can't do this kind of thing easily."

Nangong Xing smiled slightly and said: It's not as easy as you said, but what you said is also a solution. I'll leave this silver furong to you. Please help me to the headquarter and leave it to the owner to decide. I haven't decided whether to take on this big stall or not. I'll ignore what I ordered.

He paused and then said: This matter is settled, and I have to consider another one. There is a girl next to me who feels a bit dangerous when she takes her on the road. She happens to be related to my mission. If I think about it, you will help me to send her to the headquarter tomorrow and let her wait for me there.

Manager Lu nodded and said: Is it the Miss Cui who had mobilized the branches of Shuzhou to find their whereabouts?

Nangong Xing smiled and said: I haven't received many tasks to go out, who else can I have

Manager Lu also laughed and said: Who knows if you are more likely to take on a series of tasks from a girl, and you will ask, right? I heard that the Bai family is very harsh. Do you have to follow me for a while?

It's Ah, and it will take at least one or two months. Nangong Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Or I don't have to come to the storekeeper Lu to fulcrum first."

Since he talked about the money, he hurriedly told the story of Fuguilou and said: This thousand taels of silver is not a big deal. The key is that I want you to inform me of the people in the branch and ask me about the whereabouts of Zhao Jing. Since I am here, it is a task. It is not easy to explain to me so many friends with me, so it is not easy to go to the branch and find someone.

OK, since you are a person living in a nearby village, you will definitely find it out. I will definitely give you news before you set off tomorrow. Manager Lu said, taking out a thick stack of silver notes from the drawer under the table, counted half a stack, put it on the table and pushed it, saying, "This is a 5,000 taels of loose tickets. As long as it is not in a too biased place, can you see enough of the three major banks?

Nangong Xing smiled and pointed out a small stack and said: I can't use that much, two thousand taels are enough for cash and it's almost done.

Manager Lu smiled, put the remaining silver notes into his arms, and stood up and said: The boss of Fuguilou also has some friendship with me, so I will solve the compensation.

Nangong Xing had no choice but to say: Then I will trouble the manager Lu to work hard.

I was very happy to be able to give some effort to the building. Manager Lu smiled and went out with him. He turned around and locked the three big locks on the door, and walked out together.

After meeting Manager Lu, he heard his Shaodong call out, and the four of them finally knew that what Nangong Xing said was not false. They were all extremely surprised. Bai Ruolan spoke quickly and asked on the spot: This is one of the three major money houses. You have become their Shaodong, and you still... what are you going to the world?

Manager Lu replied on the side: Miss Bai doesn't know that it is because it is the business of the money house that we must have a good relationship with the people in the martial arts world. Otherwise, just the consignment of escorts will cause countless troubles. In fact, our industry in Yangliang, and another one of your Bai family, there are actually a few top experts in our boss behind us.

After explaining the store, Manager Lu followed them to Fugui Building.

The same thing, the same madam, there is only a shopkeeper Lu here, and the face that can make ice-cold becomes full of smiles, which can warm the white powder on the face.

After a while chatting with laughter, the madam not only agreed at once if Zhao Jing asked him to help him make up for the lie, but also waived the money he had to pay for the Bai family. She said that Chunhong was so hard that she had a hard life. After she shed a few tears, she also handed the wooden box left by Chunhong to Nangong Xing and the others. However, Chunhong saved up the redemption money, she would never vomit it out again.

This is an excellent result, so good that Nangong Xing feels a little regretful, so it is better to ask Manager Lu to talk from the beginning.

Before parting with Manager Lu, Nangong Xing took Cui Bing to chat with him for a while. When Cui Bing heard that she was going to send her to a safe place to wait, her face suddenly became full of reluctance. No matter how Nangong Xing talked, she just pursed her lips and shook her head silently until Nangong Xing moved out of her sister, saying: Bing'er, you don't think about it. If you really want to have a good thing, even if I help you find your sister in the future, she will be heartbroken at your tablet. This trip is really not as safe as you thought. I just can't say it clearly. In fact, according to my speculation, this trip may be several times more dangerous than when I was at the Bai family.

Cui Bing blinked unwillingly and said: Then... let me think about it again

After Manager Lu left, the sun was already west. Their group had already delayed their journey. At this time, something happened, and they felt relieved. They all began to feel hungry.

When Bai Ruoyun went to the inn to book a room, he had already expressed his attitude. Since it was all for the help of the Bai family, he should naturally pay the bill for food and accommodation along the way.

Since he is the one who pays the money, he will just leave the place to decide.

The inn has not opened a stove yet, but there is a restaurant opposite, with the back alley of Fuguilou. The decoration is quite extravagant. Bai Ruoyun looked around and there were no shops that opened early, so he simply chose the restaurant lobby.

The Bai family is a big family, and this trip is 99% a long distance. Bai Ruoyun naturally has enough money. Of course, it is not enough to eat and drink like this every day, but it is more than enough to eat occasionally.

The chefs in this restaurant are very skilled. The five of them are hungry and they are making noises in their stomachs. This meal is like a wind blowing away the clouds. Even the three girls have shiny cherry lips and fishy mouths. It really matches the comments of people in the world who are not particular about the details.

One is beautiful, the other is pretty, and the other is charming. There are only two tables in the restaurant. The three girls sat in the first day of the first lunar month, which also attracted people to look at each other. Later, they didn't care about their appearance, but instead scared the man on the other table back.

Nangong Xing smiled secretly

They were full and had enough food, and they were not in a hurry to leave. They sat in the distance while drinking tea while discussing whether they should find the place where Lingxiu Wu'e was settled in Yangliang Town.

After all, I was carrying a sedan chair to travel, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out

Bai Ruoyun and his sister thought it was useless. The four people's escape route might not be the same as when they came. And even if they found out here, they must be inns and the guest rooms were cleaned every day, so there were no traces left.

Nangong Xing thought about it and felt that it seemed like a waste of time. It would be better to go back to the inn and have a good rest for a night, buy a fast horse tomorrow and rush to get on the road early.

Tang Xin was in charge of the intelligence department in the Tang Sect, and she seemed very generous at this time. She took the initiative to help everyone analyze the situation of Lingxiu Wu'e to facilitate the deduction together where Lu Yang would go if he lost the opportunity.

Zhong Lingyin is no different from what Nangong Xing said. Tang Xin also agreed to start with this elder sister first, but she also suggested that since everyone can think of this, it is difficult to guarantee that others will think of it. Therefore, we should be more careful about Lu Yang's trip and prepare that Zhong Lingyin has been tried to deal with and cannot speak anymore.

Bai Ruolan was shocked and couldn't help but say: After all, they are sisters of the same school, so they shouldn't kill them, right?

Tang Xin shook her head and smiled: Just think about it carefully, you will know that with the four Emei disciples alone, you will really dare to plan such things that will almost certainly lead to the evil between Mujian Pavilion and Emei Sect? There may not be no conspiracy. If you think farther, you can even guess that it is likely that the Heavenly Dao has also used strength in this direction. In order to help those in Mujian Pavilion create a chaotic environment that is convenient for attack, Zhong Lingyin is far less decisive than Tian Lingjun's courageous and decisive personality. She will definitely not be the mastermind of these four. She misses her children, and the other three will not take the risk of accompanying her back. If she returns to Luyang alone, I will be the mastermind behind the scenes. She will definitely dig a big pit for her and wait for her, so that she will never have a chance to talk too much.

Tian Lingjun is the actual leader of Lingxiu Wu'e. She has a very good relationship with Sun Xiuyi. She is like a biological sister. She has not yet married and has not made any reservations. Just talking about finding her is definitely the most clueless one.

Qi Xiuqing, who is in the third place, has only been married for half a year. She is married to her senior brother of the same family. She has her parents and brothers in her hometown Bushan County. If she can determine their escape route westward, she may find some clues in Qi Xiuqing's hometown.

This person is not as weak as Zhong Lingyin. He decided to help Sun Xiuyi and would not be abandoned halfway

Although Song Xiulian is older than Sun Xiuyi, she is more immature and has both the innocence of children and the cruelty of children. She has always followed Tian Lingyun's advice and is also an escort agency in the martial arts world. If their escape route is facing the southeast, they might have settled in the Song family.

As for Sun Xiuyi, there were rumors that he was the illegitimate daughter of Taoist Qingxin, but there was no real evidence to prove it.

She looks the most popular in the Emei Sect. She is young and has no opinion. She is said to have fallen in love with her senior brother Ling Chong in private, but she was promised by the head of the Bai family before she could decide her life.

Ling Chong, a swordsman who was a flower-piercing swordsman, is one of the top masters among the lay disciples of the Emei Sect. He was an abandoned baby adopted by Emei in the year of his retirement. He was of great talent and bones. After his master died, he went to Taoist Qingxin's disciple and gained a lot of fame with his sword in less than two years.

Legend has it that Sun Xiuyi's wedding date was set, so Ling Chong rushed back to Mount Emei for a big fuss. Later, he complained about illness and recuperation, and he never saw him appear again. Some people said that he had left Mount Emei and was missing.

After talking about the general situation of the six goals, the only possible route is basically determined. First, go to Luyang to find Zhong Lingyin's whereabouts. If not, go to Bushan County to see Qi Xiuqing's hometown, and then the escort bureau of the Southeast Song family.

These people are not very troubled. Finding a reliable place to hide first should be the most likely action. If you follow this way, you will always find some clues left by them.

After roughly agreeing on the itinerary, they were about to go back to the inn to rest, but the servant in the money shop hurried over and stuffed a piece of paper into Nangong Xing's hand and said: Shaodong, the shopkeeper asked me to give it to you.

Nangong Xing frowned, opened it to the bright spot and smiled bitterly: It seems that Chunhong's affairs can be completely settled.

Bai Ruolan was more concerned about this and hurriedly said: What does it mean? Did Zhao Jing find it?

Nangong Xing nodded and said slowly: He had already returned home six days ago and planned to sell the old house of the country, but the mother at home was ill, so she was not delayed.

Bai Ruolan raised her eyebrows, and a rage appeared in her eyes. Bai Ruolan frowned and said: It seems that no matter what, we should go and meet him.

Bai Ruolan pursed her lips and said angrily: I...I must slap him twice!

Nangong Xing could only advise: If you see everything, maybe there are some difficulties or misunderstandings.

Anyway, they were going to walk to the nearby village, so they first sold the bad horses in the future and exchanged for five Shuzhou good horses with excellent endurance.

I went to the inn to sort out Chunhong's relics and picked out a valuable wooden hairpin. The thing was extremely valuable, but it was wrapped in layers of silk scutellaria. It was probably the token given by Zhao Jing, which was just right to deceive him.

When he was about to set off, Cui Bing, who had been silent after the meal, suddenly spoke, saying that he wanted to stay in the inn and rest, but he didn't want to follow him.

Nangong Xing guessed that she might be struggling with what she was going to be left behind, so she had to tell her to lock the door and not go out alone.

Tang Xin took a moment to consider it and volunteered to stay with Cui Bing. It was of course much safer to have a disciple of the Tang sect guarding her in such a small room.

Without further ado, Nangong Xing stopped delaying and headed on the road with the Bai brothers and sisters, heading towards the Zhao family Juechen.

The location of Xizhao Village is quite remote. The three of them asked about the road several times and found the entrance of the village with a slight turn. The dirt road inside was bumpy and difficult to move. They did not want to hurt the horse, so they tied their mounts outside the village and walked in quickly with their feet low and low.

The convenient place to enter is the east end. Without taking a few steps, you can see the crooked willow tree that is almost dead from a distance.

There were two or three families beside the willow tree. Nangong Xing took a look and walked straight to the house where the fields were covered with weeds behind the house, shouting: Is Mr. Zhao Jing and Zhao at home?

A cough came from the rag curtain. A thin young scholar lifted the curtain and walked out with a missing porcelain bowl. He held half a hard cake in his hand, and a piece of pickled vegetables were still stuck in his fingers.

He narrowed his eyes and walked closer to two steps, looked at the three people in front of him, and said in confusion: The young actor is Zhao Jing, what's the point of doing?

Bai Ruolan was originally full of anger, but when she saw his appearance, she couldn't help but say wonderingly: You... haven't you won the top scorer? Why... Why is it still so poor?

Zhao Jing widened his eyes and said: Don’t talk nonsense. The young actor is just trying his best. The top scholar is the same as the young actor. He has always been misunderstood by rumors and misunderstandings. What is the matter with finding the young actor?

Nangong Xing stopped Bai Ruolan and bowed: We are friends of Miss Chunhong. We are entrusted by her to come to you to explain some things. But before we talk about them, there are some rumors that we want to ask clearly that Mr. Zhao was recruited as a son-in-law by a rank-in officials. Is there any such thing?

Zhao Jing was stunned for a moment and immediately said: Are you talking about Lord Xu from Yizhou? He did mention to me that there were two daughters in the family who were not married yet, but Xiaosheng had already made up his mind. No matter how others viewed it or ridiculed it, Chunhong would definitely be Xiaosheng's wife without her. How could the young actor give him an imperial edict? She also deserved it.

Bai Ruolan was stunned and asked: Then... Then why don't you go to find her

Zhao Jing was stunned again and said: As soon as the young actor returned to Yangliang, he went to Fuguilou. But he heard that she had a distinguished guest. I don’t know when she would come back and had to deal with the trivial matters at home first.

Bai Ruolan said anxiously: Why don’t the madam in Fuguilou know?

Zhao Jing turned red and showed a little shy look, saying: To be honest, the young actor went to find Chunhong, usually from the back door to send a message from a sister who was familiar with her. How dare he let the madam know

Bai Ruolan was a little nervous and asked again: Why did I hear people say that you even sold the land and real estate and were about to move away with me?

Zhao Jingzhan smiled and said: Xiaosheng asked the top scholar of the same clan to help him. It just so happened that there was a sixth-rank Wenque under the rule of the adults. He got out early and would take the post next month. The salary was not much. Xiaosheng calculated that Chunhong's savings were included. At most, he could redeem her for half a year. He took her over and kissed her with the young actor. Since you are her friends, you must come and have a wedding wine between me and me.

Bai Ruolan's eyes felt sour, she quickly turned her head and said: You...she...I...

Nangong Xing had already grasped the wooden hairpin in his hand, but he didn't know how to hand it over to the haggard but happy young man in front of him.

At this time, Bai Ruoyun suddenly took the wooden hairpin from Nangong Xing and said in a deep voice: This matter is wrong with the Bai family, and there is no need to hide it from Mr. Zhao. Let me tell you in the original form. I hope you will be so sad and changeable.

The smile on Zhao Jing's face immediately condensed, and then, as Bai Ruoyun's story, collapsed into a tight arc

Maybe it was because the man didn't cry easily. Zhao Jing's eyes were red, but the previous joy on his face was drained in a blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.

It was not until the three of them turned around and left with heavy steps that there was an uncontrollable sob under the old willow tree behind them, and they were so depressed that they couldn't bear to listen carefully...

I would rather he be a bastard who was unwilling and fortunate. When he arrived at the entrance of the inn, Bai Ruolan's nose was not so red. She rubbed her eyes, handed the reins to the waiter, muttered this, and quickly walked upstairs.

Yangliang has many business trips and travels, and they only need one room for the spacious room, leaving it for the three women to share it. Nangong Xing and Bai Ruoyun each wanted a single room. Although the space was not large, the sparrow was small and had all the internal organs, so it was not a bad idea to live there.

I heard from the waiter that Cui Bing and Tang Xin went out for a trip. When they came back, they carried a few bags of wine and food and ordered a jar of wine. Nangong Xing thought for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​going upstairs to persuade Cui Bing and went back to the room directly.

He scrubbed his breath, lay on the bed while doing his best, thinking about how credible it was to what Bai Tianying said before his death Chunhong was not killed.

After thinking about it, if it is Yan He, there will be no other suspicion. If you rashly guess based on the internal injury situation, there will be another series of suspects.

Before he could figure it out, the door was suddenly knocked twice. He frowned. As soon as he turned his head, the door creaked slowly.

After a tempting bath, the fragrance blew in with the breeze through the hall.
