safe house

Chapter 126 Aunt Gan
The fine rain wrapped the whole world, and it was wet everywhere.

Uncle Niu drove the carriage under a big locust tree, sat on the shaft of the carriage, leaned against the carriage, and folded his hands on his chest.

A pair of eyes seemed to be empty and lifeless, but they had been paying attention to the surface of the lake not far away.

The misty rain is hazy, the willow branches are drooping, and a small boat floats on the calm lake.

Like a slowly unfolding ink painting, it is quiet and beautiful.

Uncle Niu murmured dissatisfiedly: "It's quite cautious! However, this method is really good."

···········
In the cabin, the fragrance of melons and fruits, and the fragrance of tea are overflowing.

Luo Mingchuan picked up the cup in front of him and put it to His Majesty to sniff, "Mmm, it smells good!"

After the words fell, she couldn't wait to take a sip.

Nodding approvingly, "Good tea! Of course, this tea is very good, not as good as Aunt Gan's skill in making tea."

Aunt Gan is about 40 years old, not tall, and always has a warm smile on her round face.

Perhaps because of the year-round sailing, her skin is a little dark and rough.

She said with a smile: "You and I, Aunt Gan, have this hobby."

Aunt Gan likes to drink tea, and even more like to make tea.When I have nothing to do, I will play with these things.

Luo Mingchuan said with a smile: "I know Aunt Gan likes tea, so I specially brought you a pack of tea."

"Liu'an Guapian?!" Aunt Gan's eyes widened in surprise, "Ming Chuan is caring."

Luo Mingchuan smiled and said, "As long as Aunt Gan doesn't dislike it!"

"How can you dislike it?" Aunt Gan smiled and gave her a look, "I like tea, and Lu'an Guapian is the best.

However, I also know that you like Pu'er.And your Aunt Tian, ​​she... Oops, let's not mention her.

Every time I drink tea, it is like a cow chewing peonies, which makes people feel distressed. "

The disgusted tone was filled with deep thoughts.

Knowing that the two have a good relationship, Luo Mingchuan joked with a smile: "You should say this in front of Aunt Tian."

Aunt Gan stared, "I'm not going! She's a person who doesn't understand, it's fine if she doesn't understand, and she doesn't listen to it.

Talking to her is like playing the piano to a cow. "

Luo Mingchuan was amused, "Hehe, Aunt Gan, after living on the ship for such a long time, your sharp-mouthed and tofu-hearted temper hasn't changed yet?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Aunt Gan frowned, "I really despise her, I really despise her."

"Mmm, yes, I know!" Luo Mingchuan nodded repeatedly, "You despise her, you despise her. You can't annoy her enough.

So, as soon as I came to Herring Town, you invited me to meet.I just wanted to know if Aunt Tian was injured.

Do you feel uncomfortable, do you have any bad things, do you have any unhappy things that make you happy. "

Aunt Gan laughed with a "puchi", "You girl! Hehe, I really hide everything from you."

Luo Mingchuan: "Any news about Guo Liang?"

The smile on Aunt Gan's face paused, "How do you say that? I'm just a woman who charters a boat. What can I know?"

Luo Mingchuan looked at her quietly, "Do you really know nothing?"

Aunt Gan said with a smile, "If you ask me which fish is the fattest and which fish sells best in this season, I will definitely know everything."

Luo Mingchuan drank a cup of tea, then raised his hand to pour himself another cup, "Aunt Gan, I know, you and Aunt Tian are good friends."

Aunt Gan pursed her lips and looked at her in great difficulty, "Ming Chuan..."

Luo Mingchuan smiled, "If you have any conditions, just say it."

If he hadn't been targeted and didn't want to hurt those around him, why would he choose to swim in the lake on a rainy day?
Luo Mingchuan had a smile on his face, his tone was gentle and his voice was soft.

But Aunt Gan noticed the faint coldness.

"Ming Chuan!" Aunt Gan sighed helplessly, "I... I actually like the life I have now."

Aunt Gan, like Aunt Tian, ​​was a killer raised by a wealthy family when she was young.

Today, although I still live with my hands, it is much better than the days of fighting and killing.

She is used to the peace now, and she never wants to go back.

Luo Mingchuan laughed, "Aunt Gan, your courage is getting smaller and smaller."

Can't you boldly trust me once?

Aunt Gan lowered her head, "Mingchuan, I made you laugh."

Having said that, I don't feel guilty at all.

Luo Mingchuan laughed angrily, "Aunt Gan, you invited me to come on the boat."

Now, I'm here, and you're here again.

Aunt Gan poured tea for her with a smile, "Come on, drink another cup if you like."

How cunning!

Luo Mingchuan sneered in his heart, actually wanting to sit down and raise the price? !
"Well, the more you drink this tea, the better it tastes." Luo Mingchuan nodded with a smile, "What kind of melon is this? It also looks very delicious."

After the words fell, he forked his hand and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.

"Mmm, sweet and juicy, so delicious!"

After eating and drinking, she leaned against the cabin and opened the bamboo curtain to look out.

"Drizzle, layers of mist. Swimming in the lake in this rain is really a special feeling."

Resting his chin with one hand, he was full of interest. It seemed that he came out today to swim in the lake.

Aunt Gan: "..."

She laughed angrily at Luo Mingchuan's rascal appearance.

Aunt Gan snorted coldly, "Okay, girl, you win!"

She pursed her lips tightly, as if she was really angry, but also pretended to be angry.

Luo Mingchuan hugged Aunt Gan's arm and acted like a baby, "I know Aunt Gan treats me the best."

Aunt Gan stretched out her arms, straightened her sleeves, coughed lightly, and said reservedly: "Don't think I'll forgive you just because you say a few nice words."

"Aunt Gan, please drink tea!" Luo Mingchuan poured Aunt Gan a cup of tea very attentively.

"Use my tea?!" Aunt Gan was neither angry nor smiling.

Luo Mingchuan smiled and comforted him: "How could I not be filial to Aunt Gan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out a porcelain bottle from her purse.

"What is this?!" Aunt Gan asked casually.

Luo Mingchuan lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "This is powerful. If it is used well, it will be equivalent to an extra life."

cut!
Aunt Gan threw it on the table casually, "You child, you don't have a single word of truth."

Luo Mingchuan sat up straight, "Do you believe it or not!"

Aunt Gan pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want to know?"

This amount of information is a bit big!

Luo Mingchuan tilted his head and looked at her, "Do you know who those people who robbed us at the tea stand were?"

Aunt Gan: "That girl's name is Yuniang, she is the killer of the Tao family in Jiangzhou Prefecture."

No wonder people often say that interlacing is like a mountain.

Aunt Gan was born as an assassin, so she is very familiar with the job of an assassin.

Luo Mingchuan nodded, "Sure enough, it's the Tao family. Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. I want to know what's going on with Guo Liang."

Aunt Gan frowned and asked, "Why did you come back to this question?"

Luo Mingchuan didn't hide it from her, "I came here this time just for Guo Liang."

The smile on Aunt Gan's face gradually subsided, and she said lightly, "Why bother?"

"Hehe!" Luo Mingchuan put down the teacup in his hand, "Aunt Gan, it's already this time, why are you duplicity?
Eh? !Don't you don't like to listen, you really can't act. "

"Hmph!" Aunt Gan snorted coldly, "Ming Chuan, let me tell you..."

Luo Mingchuan played with the porcelain vase just now, and said softly: "I also tell you, what I just said is true.

Inside is a fake death pill. "

Feign death pill? !

Is this really the pill that is rumored in the world? !
Aunt Gan looked at the pills on the table, and said in her heart that she was lying if she was not excited.

Her eye sockets were a little hot, and there were many thoughts in her mind, but she didn't know what to say.

She looked at Luo Mingchuan fixedly, "I'm happy for Lao Tian, ​​from the bottom of my heart, really!"

Luo Mingchuan smiled faintly, "Aunt Gan, I'm actually..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything." Aunt Gan smiled and shook her head, "I'll tell you everything I want to know."

Jiangling Prefecture is a hometown of silk, where almost every household grows mulberry trees and every household raises silkworms.

It can be said that the cloth used in the clothes of more than half of the people in Dachu comes from Jiangling Prefecture.

The largest cloth merchants in Jiangling Mansion were Zhang, Wang, and Guo.

Among them, the Guo family is the head of the three.

It's not because the Guo family's cloth is gorgeous, but because the Guo family produced a new Jinshi three years ago.

The Jinshi soon found a post as a county magistrate.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Not long ago, the county magistrate was taken into the prison of Linzhou Prefecture.

For what reason, no one knows.

It was rumored that the case of the county magistrate Guo had already been heard by Datian, and he was going to be executed after autumn.

Luo Mingchuan didn't know what was going on with Guo Liang, and he was even more worried that the rumors in the market were true.

According to Aunt Gan, the county where Guo Liang is located is called Sha County. For some unknown reason, a plague suddenly appeared not long ago.

Many people died, and it seemed that two villages were completely dead.

Because the magistrate is seriously ill and cannot be a director.

But Ding Tongzhi, who was in charge of government affairs, took the county magistrate into prison without saying a word.

Luo Mingchuan suddenly thought that they seemed to have encountered some refugees on the way here.

They said their village was plagued by plague.

She didn't pay attention to which county or village it was from.

Could it be the county under Guo Liang's jurisdiction?
its not right!
Guo Liang seemed to have had an accident before that.

"Oh, I said, what are you thinking so much about?" Aunt Gan felt uncomfortable when she saw Luo Mingchuan's frowning expression.

"You are neither a magistrate nor an inspector. Even if you figured out the tricks, so what?"

"What you have to do now is to cure that prefect as soon as possible."

When the prefect recovers, the trial will be reopened, and Guo Liang will be fine.

Luo Mingchuan nodded: "Aunt Gan, what you said makes sense. But how do you know that the magistrate will definitely think that Guo Liang is innocent?"

Yes, why didn't I think of it?

Aunt Gan glanced at her, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Hey..." Luo Mingchuan said with a shy smile, "Aunt Gan still loves me."

Aunt Gan snorted, "You'll fool me with your mouth!"

････････････････････････
After several days of continuous drizzle, the sky finally cleared up.

Luo Mingchuan pushed open the window and took a deep breath, "It's sunny, we don't have to stay in the inn like this all the time."

"Great, I can finally leave this ghostly place." Chuncao said weakly.

Luo Mingchuan asked with a smile: "Don't you like eating fish?"

Chuncao said bitterly, "No matter how much you like to eat, you can't eat like this every day!"

The last meal of fish, the next meal of fish, I almost vomited.

Xia Lu pushed the door open and came in, sneered, "You are so hypocritical!"

"When there was no fish to eat, I clamored to eat fish every day. Now I eat fish every day, and you can't bear it again."

"I really don't know what's going on with you?"

Chuncao pursed her lips, and said with some grievances: "I hear what you mean, it means that there are many problems!"

"You have the ability..." He got stuck in the middle of the sentence.

The three of them ate the same food every day, and they didn't see the other two yelling.

Xia Lu tilted the shriveled spring grass, amused in her heart, "By the way, girl, when I went out just now, I saw Ding Xixi."

Ding Xixi?
"Isn't she with Luo Xi?" Luo Mingchuan frowned unobtrusively.

Xia Lu said: "I didn't see Mr. Luo Xi, but I saw another person.

"Looking at his clothes and grooming, he's not just a young man from an ordinary family."

To actually throw Luo Xi away? !

Lu Mingchuan was a little puzzled, didn't Ding Xixi always like Luo Xi?Why are you with other men? !

However, this is not something she should worry about.

After thinking about it for a while, I didn't figure it out, so I put it aside and ignored it.

"Okay, hurry up and eat." Luo Mingchuan greeted Chun Cao and Xia Lu.

"Well, this beef bun is pretty good. The stuffing is not dry and has chewiness."

Chuncao and Xia Lu saw that their daughter was unwilling to mention it, so they wisely kept quiet.

The three of them were eating buns while chatting about the two of them.

Talking and laughing, very lively.

It's a pity that when I walked down the stairs, the good mood suddenly disappeared.

Tao Yiran opened the folding fan coquettishly, and called softly: "Miss Luo, what a coincidence!"

Luo Mingchuan glanced at him indifferently, "Is it a coincidence, or is there another purpose, don't you know?"

Tao Yiran smiled, "It seems that no matter what I say, you won't believe it."

"In that case..."

"Chuncao, don't forget our things." Luo Mingchuan didn't give him a chance to speak at all, just walked over and walked outside.

"Mingchuan?!" Luo Mingchuan was about to step out of the inn when Luo Xi stopped him.

"Ming Chuan, you also live in this inn?!" Luo Xi's voice trembled.

Did it happen by accident?
Luo Mingchuan kept a decent smile on his face, "Brother Luo Xi, what a coincidence!"

"Brother Luo Xi" made Luo Xi's heart tremble unconsciously.

The smile on his face became wider, "Mingchuan, do you still want to go to Linzhou Mansion?"

Seeing Luo Mingchuan nodding, he invited with a smile: "How about, let's go together!"
