Chapter 24 Search
Either they came in to look at the treasures in the house to steal and plunder, or they came to investigate things but did not move the items in the house, or they came in because they were forced to have nowhere to go.

The first two are obviously impossible, what is there to steal and investigate in an inn.

At this moment, Yuan Yuan felt the movement outside.

But Ginkgo opened the door bolt before her, and opened the door to a gap to look out. After confirming that someone came in, she quickly hung the door bolt, intending to go out through the window.

"I'm leaving, little Yuan Yuan, see you again." Yin Xing quickly pulled out a piece of cloth from her arms to cover her face.

Her clothes, including the face towel that covers her face, are all wet. She has been wearing clothes soaked in the rain since just now, and even the house has some remaining water marks.

"Sister Beauty." Yuan Yuan grabbed her sleeve. "I can help you hide from the people who came to catch you. Even if you go out now, you will still be caught. You can trust me."

Since they have nowhere to go and hid in the room, it cannot be solved by going out.

"Why do you help me?" Ginkgo looked at Yuan Yuan puzzled.

"I believe in cause and effect. If I plant a cause today, it will turn into fruit in the future. Besides, Sister Beauty is destined to me. For those who are destined, I will definitely help if I can. It depends on whether Sister Beauty believes in me or not."

Yuan Yuan squinted her eyes with a smile, she could spot someone who was predestined at a glance, but it's hard to say if the relationship is deep or shallow.

Ginkgo swallowed, feeling that Yuan Yuan's words were really mysterious, not at all like a child of her age, but there was a strong guidance in her heart...

She felt that since Yuan Yuan could appear out of nowhere in this room, it shouldn't be a problem to hide her.

"I believe you." Ginkgo decided to take a gamble.

Yuan Yuan looked around, and finally ran to the closet with small steps, opened the closet, and made room for people to enter. "Please come in."

Ginkgo clenched her fists, she was a little ashamed, there are people in this closet, how can she hide?
If someone really came to search, it would be easy to find out, but seeing Yuan Yuan's confident face, she sneaked into the closet like a ghost, and watched Yuan Yuan close the closet door.

I thought that even if I got into the closet, I could see the things outside and hear the sounds outside, but when she really entered the closet, she realized that it was very dark around her.

I couldn't see any scene outside, and even the voice, I only heard Yuan Yuan's caring words, and there was nothing more to say.

"Sister Beauty, don't be afraid, it's fine."

Yuan Yuan reassured Ginkgo, then pasted a talisman, and after blocking the sound, he put the cabinet back into the space.

Now even if someone came here to turn the place upside down, they couldn't find where the ginkgo was.

Yuan Yuan wiped the water stains on the ground when the ginkgo broke in, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep, waiting for someone to knock on the door.

The shopkeeper has been shouted by a group of officers and soldiers.

Seeing more than a dozen yamen servants in uniform and with knives on their waists, the shopkeeper shivered a little, and all the drowsiness was gone.

He tremblingly asked one of the leading officers and soldiers: "My lord, what's the matter? With such a big battle, the shop is run with integrity and has never done anything against the law."

The leader didn't answer, turned around silently and went out, and greeted another person from the sedan chair outside the door.

The young man had a slightly thin figure and a childish face, his hair was combed into a ponytail, he was dressed in a blue brocade robe, and a special white gauze was tied over his eyes.

It doesn't seem to affect his vision.

He walked up to the shopkeeper, and the officers and soldiers next to him bowed their heads in salute.

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, thoughtfully, and hurried up to meet him.

Recently, rumors have spread in the town that the former county magistrate was killed by You Xia Yin, and a new Master Nie was sent from above to thoroughly investigate the case.

And this adult is not a young and energetic adult, nor an old and experienced adult, but a young boy who doesn't even have a weak crown.

Such a young boy is called an adult to serve as the magistrate. Although I don't know what he has experienced in Beijing, he must be a noble person who cannot be offended.

Lord Nie, Nie Mingli... the surname Nie is the surname of the emperor.

"This is Lord Nie, I wonder if it's so late, what advice do you have for coming to the shop?"

Nie Mingli looked around and took a rough look: "Shopkeeper, we are tracking down the suspect, please cooperate with the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper was a bit embarrassed, and he tried to bargain: "My lord, it's so late, and my guests are fully occupied. I'm afraid it's not good for you to conduct a search."

Nie Mingli twitched his eyebrows slightly, and he smiled slightly. Although his eyes were covered, the shopkeeper could still feel that he was staring closely at him, making his hair stand on end.

"Then the shopkeeper is unwilling to cooperate? Interfering with official duties, will he be locked up for a few days?" Nie Mingli asked the people around him thoughtfully.

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and gave up. "Don't dare, my lord, please do it."

He just owes his mouth, why did he say so much?

The shopkeeper was prepared for these officers and soldiers to rush in and search, and he was also prepared to hear the complaints from the customers in each room.

But Nie Mingli just took his time, walked to the door of the room very politely, and asked the officers and soldiers around him to knock on the door of the room.

When Nie Mingli came up, he showed his waist badge.

Even if the person who was cursing again came out, he would obediently shut his mouth when he saw the badge on his face that symbolized his status.

"Excuse me, we are here to track down the suspect, please cooperate." Nie Mingli had a friendly attitude. When he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers behind him entered the house to search.

Nie Mingli also approached the room to look around, and finally left after feeling nothing unusual.

Every room is like this, never tired of it.

Until Yuan Yuan's room was searched.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yuan Yuan simply put on his coat and went to the door, and asked the people outside. "Who is it? My brother won't let me open the door to strangers."

"Child?" The officer who knocked on the door murmured to himself, and looked at Nie Mingli in confusion and bewilderment. How could it be a child who opened the door.

Although their Master Nie is also a boy, but this nature is different, Master Nie is not an ordinary child.

Nie Mingli felt that the voice sounded familiar, and he turned sideways to wave to the nervous shopkeeper not far away.

The shopkeeper hurried over, waiting for a signal.

"Knock on the door." Nie Mingli pointed to the door, and stepped back to make room.

"Yes yes yes." The shopkeeper cleared his throat before shouting at Yuan Yuan who was across the door. "Little girl, I'm shopkeeper Liu. You met me today, and your brother told you to call me if you need anything. Do you remember?"

 You can guess ~ why does Mrs. Nie have to cover her eyes?
