The fourth master of the Qing Dynasty spoiled the blessing of the Jin Dynasty

Chapter 64 The crime of beheading

Huang Ying didn't finish her sentence, but Zhi Lan already understood.

Originally, they didn't plan to travel far from the beginning, and they didn't bring any money with them, let alone bank notes.

It would have been nice to go back to the capital, so Zhilan just pawned the hairpin.

It is conceivable that the three of them lived in a hotel to eat and drink.

Aside from the pawned hairpin, Zhilan's only valuable things now are a pair of bracelets and a pair of earrings.

The bracelet was valuable, but they couldn't go back to the mansion, and they didn't know where they were going in the future. The three of them needed silver for everything, so pawning the bracelet was obviously not enough.

"If you go back to the master, the slave is going to find some leg work, the slave is very strong..."

Zhi Lan, who was in deep thought, interrupted Wu Si and said, "I will find a way."

As the old saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Of course, it does not mean that Zhi Lan will not be able to bear hardships after getting used to the life of aristocrats, but Wu Sidao said that the little money earned by coolies is not enough at all. They have three mouths.

"Master, I don't want the monthly salary of slaves..."

Glancing at Huang Ying, Zhi Lan said: "Although we are indeed short of money now, you and Wu Sidao will definitely have enough money."

After a moment of silence, Zhi Lan told Wu Si, "You find the owner of the inn, I have something to say to him."

After Wu Si got the order, he went out.

"What's the matter with this guest officer? But what's wrong with our inn? Which bitch has neglected Madam, just tell me, I will definitely..."

"The boss is serious. I want to discuss a business with the boss."

The other party was slightly startled, and the flattering smile on his face instantly froze: "We are in a small place, so don't stop Madam from making a fortune. The three of you live here for two days, including food and drink, and the total is ten taels of silver. It's a small business. , no credit."

"The boss misunderstood, I didn't want to pay on credit." After finishing speaking, Zhi Lan motioned Huang Ying to take out ten taels of silver according to the boss's order.

Then she slowly opened her mouth: "I see there is still an open space next to your inn, right? The location of your inn is where you go, whether you are leaving the capital or going out of the capital, you have to go through it, and it is next to the official road, except for opening the inn. Didn't you think about doing something else?"

The boss heard Zhi Lan's words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "What do you mean?"

Zhilan smiled and said her thoughts again.

"You?" The boss was dubious after hearing this, and looked Zhilan up and down.

Although Zhilan's clothes looked very ordinary, she had an extraordinary demeanor, and there were maids and chauffeurs, obviously from a wealthy family.

Instinctively felt that what Zhilan said was unreliable.

"The boss still doesn't seem to believe me? It's okay, I can try it first. If the boss thinks it's okay, then let's talk further?

how do you feel? "

"That's fine."

"Boss, please wait for a while. How about I change my clothes and go to the boss?"

After the boss left, Huang Ying and Wu Sidao looked at Zhilan nervously.

"What's wrong?" Zhi Lan asked.

"Master, I heard you mean that I intend to settle down here temporarily?"

Zhilan looked at Huangying noncommittally.

"Master, this servant said something that shouldn't be said. Master, you heard what an officer and soldier said yesterday. It is obvious that someone wants to harm you. If we settle down here..."

"It's dark under the lights, you know?" Zhi Lan suppressed the strangeness when she heard Huang Ying mentioning the officers and soldiers yesterday: "It's because the officers and soldiers just came to search yesterday, so this place is safe for the time being.

The so-called poor family's rich road, even if you pawn the bracelet, you have to go to the next place to pawn it. If you pawn it now, you have to go back to the capital. Since someone has killed me, now we go back to the capital to pawn the silver, that is waiting to be pawned. People catch it.

Before that, we must have silver on us. "

After hearing this, Huang Ying didn't speak.

Wu Sidao and Zhi Lan were not familiar with each other at first, and he shouldn't have spoken at this time, but he still couldn't help but said: "Master, this slave thinks that the master will not treat you..."

Afraid that Wu Sidao would say the words "kill them all", Zhi Lan interrupted him: "You go out first, I have to change my clothes."

Wu Sidao and Huang Ying looked at each other, and then Wu Sidao closed the door and went out.

Capital City, Baylor Mansion.

"Fourth brother."

The fourth elder brother put down his hand pinching his temple, and looked up at the thirteenth elder brother. Seeing that the thirteenth elder brother looked flustered, his expression became even uglier.

"Say."

Although the fourth elder brother has never talked much, when it is simplified to only one word, even the thirteenth elder brother who has always been close to the fourth elder brother is a little scared.

After waiting for a long time, but did not hear the thirteenth elder brother's words, the fourth elder brother frowned, his tone was a little more kind, and he spoke again:
"Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, I heard that last night, someone pretended to be an officer and searched for people in the inn outside the capital, saying that someone was pretending to be the fourth sister-in-law..."

The fourth elder brother heard what the thirteenth elder brother said, put his hands on the table, stood up suddenly, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the thirteenth elder brother angrily: "Who did it."

The thirteenth elder brother moved his mouth, he was dumb, although he didn't make a sound, but the fourth elder brother could still see something from the shape of his mouth.

He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the desk, and the ruler on the good mahogany desk was shaken.

The thirteenth brother shrank his neck: "Fourth brother, it's actually a good thing to look at it this way."

Frowning and looking at Elder Brother Thirteen, as if asking: "How to say?"

"It's safe to prove that Sister-in-law Si is fine, otherwise, the driver wouldn't be looking for Sister-in-law Si with such great fanfare."

The fourth elder brother didn't relax much because of the thirteenth elder brother's words, but became even more irritable. Since Zhilan disappeared, he had never felt so powerless.

Because Zhilan didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

"The Fujin in the mansion is a fake after all, but the other party is not sure whether the Fujin in the mansion is real or not. What if they use this method to test me?"

The so-called dying must see the corpse, and the living must see the person. The result may be unbearable, but it is better than there is no news of Zhilan at all.

"Fourth brother, no matter what, the younger brother still thinks that the fourth sister-in-law should be fine now, and she is not in the hands of the screwdriver." The thirteenth brother saw that the fourth brother didn't pick up, so he went on to say: "Fourth brother, what do you think?" Well, if the fourth sister-in-law is still in the hands of the screwer, why did the other party make such a big fuss.

Even if those officers and soldiers were real, it would be no small matter for Huang Ama to know. If the officers and soldiers were fake, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

If the fourth sister-in-law is in their hands, fourth brother, it doesn't matter to them whether the fourth sister-in-law in your mansion is real or not. This matter is for you to read in front of Huang Ama. "

I have to say that Brother Thirteen's analysis is very reasonable.

After a while, the fourth elder brother sat down slowly with his hands on the table: "Before I asked you to secretly pay attention to places like pharmacies and medical centers, did you pay attention?"
