Jiaohua

Chapter 724
The girl glanced at her with no expression on her face.

The shopkeeper signaled Ding to stop talking, and led the girl upstairs.

"Business is not good recently. There are only two residents in my store at the moment. The two of them are from Yong'an to do business. It rained heavily today, so they haven't gone out yet..."

The shopkeeper introduced as he walked, and at the same time, he also talked about the hospitality facilities of the restaurant, so that she can just speak up if she needs anything.

The girl nodded, occasionally saying a few words of thanks to the shopkeeper.

The room is diagonally opposite to Zhichangle, with a screen painted with a thousand miles of bright moon in the middle, and a gilt bronze furnace with animal patterns on each side.

The shopkeeper invited the girl into the side room, and repeatedly told her enthusiastically that if there was anything, please don't be polite.

After leaving, the shopkeeper looked at the two guest rooms opposite, thought for a while, and knocked on the door.

It was Zhi Changle's door that knocked, but the room next door opened with a "squeak".

"Looking for me?" Zhi Changle asked.

"Ah, guest officer," the shopkeeper cupped his hands and said, "I have something to say to guest officer, can you let me in?"

Zhi Changle stepped aside: "Come in."

When the shopkeeper entered the room, he saluted politely, and then straight to the point, he said politely that he hoped they would leave after the rain stopped.

"We paid a lot of rent, right?" Zhi Changle frowned, "What's the point?"

"The small ones will be returned to the guest officer..."

"Business pays attention to benevolence and righteousness. We are benevolent and righteous, but the shopkeeper is not very good at being a man?"

The shopkeeper cupped his hands, and his voice was pleading: "Guest officer, I am sorry for you this time. I will come to Congxin next time I have a chance. I will treat you well. Let's make friends this time?"

Zhi Changle didn't answer, and looked sideways at Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were gentle, and he said softly: "It's okay, we will go, there are many inns here, we will find another place when the weather clears."

"Thank you girl, thank you girl! The girl is really understanding!"

"Did you hear that?" Zhi Changle's voice was dissatisfied, and he said to the shopkeeper, "Don't bother us, let's go!"

The door closed with a "snap" behind him, and the shopkeeper heaved a long sigh of relief.

The reason why they were allowed to leave was because the attendant said that there was a high possibility that someone would come to assassinate this girl.He did this entirely out of consideration for the two residents, lest they get involved in the right and wrong that they shouldn't be involved in.

The word "assassin" is really scary. If someone else gave this job, the shopkeeper would definitely not accept it. However, this is Xin Fengcai.

If Tian Dayao can rule the world in the future, a person like Xin Fengcai is destined to be a marquis and prime minister.

"A Li, you are too deceitful." Zhi Changle said as he walked up.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "Brother Zhi, we gave five taels of silver, not a small amount of money. Shopkeeper Hong was quite happy when he took it, and it can be seen that he also loves this money. Now that we are invited to leave, there must be something difficult to say, so don't be embarrassed." him."

"It's true..." Zhi Changle sat down, "But it's always uncomfortable to move around."

"Actually, I wanted to leave last night and stop looking for caravans here. Since no business roads will be built, it really doesn't make sense to continue living in such a big inn."

"Is it because of the envoys of the Eight Capitals? So you don't build business roads here?"

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head: "It's because the humanities here are not very good."

"Then, why did you stay?"

"There are still a few people who have not been killed."

Still in a flat tone, Zhi Changle frowned.

The girl in front of her was much gentler than the previous few days, and her tone of voice was soft and gentle, but she was also cold and distant, with an indescribably cold and murderous aura.

He and Old Tong rarely talked about Xia Zhaoyi, but now they felt scared: "A Li, did something happen last night?"

Xia Zhaoyi turned to look out the window, and the pouring rain poured down from the sky. Amidst the pattering rain, there were occasional loud thunderclaps.

She didn't want to mention those things about Shen Lie to others, no matter it was true or not, she didn't want to mention them.

And, although there are all indications that it is true in all likelihood, she still does not believe it.

Shen Lie is such an arrogant and aloof person, if he really fell into such a tragic and desperate situation, it is impossible for him to... right.

"...Ali?" Zhi Changle looked into her eyes that were rarely distracted.

Xia Zhaoyi turned his head, with a smile on his lips: "Brother Zhi, I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, it's nothing, I'm just worried about you." Zhi Changle said with concern.

"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi smiled and nodded.

When shopkeeper Hong went downstairs, he was pulled aside by Mrs. Ding.

Her ears were hurting, shopkeeper Hong tore off his wife's hand: "Be gentle!"

"Tell me the truth, what did the man who came in the carriage tell you!"

Shopkeeper Hong didn't want to hide it from her about such a big matter, so he dismissed the guys in the lobby and carefully told him the instructions of his entourage.

"Killer?!" Ding was surprised.

"Her mother died outside the yamen today." Shopkeeper Hong pointed upstairs.

"I saw an old woman who was beating her, but she died?" Ding's skin crawled.

"Mr. Fengcai will send someone to protect her later," shopkeeper Hong said, fearing that Mrs. Ding would chase her away, he added, "In fact, this matter has nothing to do with us, we will be fine."

Unexpectedly, Ding was unexpectedly reasonable: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, since it is Xin Fengcai's entrustment, if we succeed, it is a great achievement."

"Correct!"

"It's finally come to an end," Ding sighed. "In the early years, I didn't like Xin Fengcai's poor and elegant appearance. I didn't think about it, Feng Shui took turns."

"He was not poor in his early years."

"The rice wine only costs two taels, and the peanuts have to be counted, huh." Thinking back, Ding thought it was funny, and she didn't bother to talk to her husband, so she turned and walked back.

Xia Zhaoyi and Zhi Changle didn't have many burdens, so after a little tidying up, they would be in order.

The thunderstorm outside was getting bigger and bigger, and huge dark clouds covered the entire sky of Congxin. It was only afternoon, but it felt like it was night.

Xia Zhaoyi was reading by the window, Zhi Changle saw this, lit two candles, and told Xia Zhaoyi to go back to the table.

"I'm afraid the rain won't stop." Zhi Changle said.

"It should be when you are ugly." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Huh? Isn't it midnight?"

"Ah."

"Then let's sort this out..."

"If so, did the shopkeeper prepare a carriage for us?" Xia Zhaoyi smiled.

"Is there anyone in such a hurry to drive people away? This is too much."

"It's just a possibility, so let's sort it out first, and we have to go anyway."

Zhi Changle nodded: "It has to be like this."

Time passed gradually, the sky was always like splashing ink, and when it was completely dark, the shopkeeper did not see the carriage preparing to drive people away.

Instead, it was the guy who came up and asked if they wanted food and hot water.

Zhi Changle asked for some food, and the man went downstairs to prepare it.

Mrs. Ding was not happy about it. Hearing that shopkeeper Hong sent an assistant to ask about it, she turned to trouble her husband.

She came out from the back kitchen with an umbrella, and walked through the large courtyard where the rain was not enough for her ankles, and then went up the steps to close the umbrella, and leaned the umbrella against the corner of the eaves, when she was suddenly pulled aside forcefully, and her mouth was covered .

The cold blade pressed against her throat: "Where is the little lady of the Huang family?"

Ding's eyes widened, and it took him a while to feel his body stiffen.

"Say it!" the man said angrily in a low voice.

"I can't see you!" Ding hurriedly closed her eyes, "I couldn't see anything just now, and I don't know what you look like, don't kill me!"

"Say it or not!" The man lost his patience.

Ding stretched out his hand, pointed upstairs, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes..."

Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she turned her finger to the east: "On the third floor, go to the left on the handrail, and you can see it when you go in. It's Tianzi No. [-]."

"If you play tricks on me, you will die!" said the man, raised his hand and knocked her unconscious, handed her over to his companions behind him, who threw her into a dark miscellaneous room with no one there.
