The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 442 Nan ​​Batian Was Killed
Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper knew that they were searching from house to house to find Bai Zhi and others, so he said loudly on purpose.

"There are no outsiders in our family. After all, if you run a grocery store, you will inevitably have customers who come to buy things, but they won't stay overnight. My little old man doesn't have that hobby."

When Bai Zhi heard it, she knew that he was reporting to the waiter in the backyard, telling him to hide Shen Changyan and others quickly.

Therefore, she didn't interfere, but continued to play by ear, anyway, she had already used the stealth technique.

"Is there anyone? It doesn't matter what you say. We will go in and search to find out. In this night search, no matter who it is, it will be treated equally, so don't stop the old shopkeeper, otherwise it will be regarded as the same crime as the criminal." The head guard shouted loudly .

The old shopkeeper was not afraid because of this, but said seriously: "Little old man, this shop is a reward from the emperor, so is it no exception?"

"Absolutely not! Otherwise, I wouldn't search your shops around the imperial court from house to house." The leading guard didn't back down at all.

The old shopkeeper felt that the matter seemed serious this time, and it was definitely not as simple as Nan Batian's revenge. After all, he got 30 taels of gold from Baizhi and the others.

So he asked aloud: "Little old man, can I ask, what happened?"

The leading guard snorted coldly: "You might as well tell the old shopkeeper that Nan Batian is dead!"

Upon hearing this, the old shopkeeper exclaimed in surprise: "Dead? How is it possible!"

The head guard asked alertly: "Why does the old shopkeeper react so strongly to this? Do you know anything?"

Only then did the old shopkeeper realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and he shook his head and replied, "I just thought that Nan Batian would die, isn't it strange? After all, he is the old commander's brother-in-law, and the old commander's sister is the emperor's favorite concubine. Who dares to kill him because of his relationship? To be honest, Nan Batian has a bad reputation, and the people complained, but they all avoided him, and no one dared to provoke him. Why did he die? Could it be that he was drinking or accidentally died?"

The head of the guard shook his head and replied: "It's not that he was assassinated in the mansion after dark. The old commander entered the palace and sued the emperor. That's why the whole city was searched. You shops that usually guard the royal court are also No exceptions."

The old shopkeeper sighed: "But I am a little old man, how could I be involved with those murderers? Besides, Nan Batian offended too many people, so it may not be the group of people this afternoon, right? I heard that I gave 30 taels Gold, how could it be possible to kill again?"

The leading guard reprimanded impatiently: "How do you know so much? It seems that you really have nothing to do with those people!"

The reason why the old shopkeeper tried his best to delay the time was to give the waiter the time to hide Bai Zhi and others.

He laughed and said: "How is it possible, the military master is too worried. Sigh, my son is a little genius doctor, a celebrity in front of the emperor, how could I help those villains?"

"Since it's impossible, then get out of the way quickly, and don't hinder us from searching for people!" The leading guard sneered, waved his hand, and ordered: "Search!"

As he spoke, he pushed the old shopkeeper away and led the crowd to the back hall.

Bai Zhi hid aside, she was really surprised to hear that Nan Batian had died just now.

But thinking that the shop clerk should be able to hide Shen Changyan and the others, he didn't go in, but stayed outside to protect the old shopkeeper.

Seeing the officers and soldiers go in, the old shopkeeper followed him in, shouting, "There is no one else in my house except Xiaoer."

Into the backyard, it was empty.

Those wine dishes and barbecue grills are gone.

The old shopkeeper secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he was really worried about this just now.

"How is it? I don't have anyone else here, right? I don't believe you can find someone I don't even know?"

The leading guard smiled coldly, which clearly meant to say, just wait and see.

"Report, no one was found!"

"Report, I didn't find it."

"Report, only the waiter is sleeping in the room!"

The head guard showed an unbelievable expression on his face, and asked angrily, "Have you searched carefully?"

All the people sent out responded in unison: "Not even a mouse hole was spared!"

The old shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I didn't find anyone, should I continue to search? If I search again, I can't find it. I am sleepy. I was sleeping soundly, but you woke me up."

The leading guard shook his sleeves and gritted his teeth and said, "Then old shopkeeper, just have a good sleep. I hope you will always be safe and sound."

After saying that, he shouted "Retreat" and left with the guards.

The old shopkeeper put his hands on his chest and let out a long sigh of relief, then followed, closed the door, and closed the door.

Bai Zhi pretended to come out from her hiding place, and said with a smile, "It's so dangerous, I managed to escape, thanks to the old shopkeeper for trying his best to keep us safe."

The old shopkeeper was taken aback unexpectedly, and asked puzzledly: "Girl, why are you here? Just now... just now, didn't you hide in the tunnel with them?"

Bai Zhi covered her mouth and said with a mischievous smile: "I'm worried, I sneaked out to take a look, I hid under the counter, they only searched the backyard, not the counter, so I'm fine.

The old shopkeeper let out a long sigh of relief again: "You guys, I really scared you to death. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't cooperate with you..."

When he mentioned the word cooperation, he suddenly stopped.

Bai Zhi understood that he was worried, would they still be able to practice medicine as planned tomorrow?

She smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, old shopkeeper. You know that Nan Batian's death has nothing to do with us. The time is wrong. We are all in your shop, so the murderer is someone else. He will definitely be here soon." Find out and return our innocence."

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "You are right, so I am really relieved, but you have to hide for a few days to avoid the limelight. I am safe and authentic here."

Bai Zhi didn't refuse, and responded gratefully: "Thank you, old shopkeeper, for taking in and saving your life."

The old shopkeeper waved his hands and sighed: "I'm not all for you, after all, you can help me find my son."

Bai Zhi didn't say anything more, so that the old shopkeeper would feel at ease.

Back in the backyard, the old shopkeeper raised his voice and said: "Everyone is gone, come out."

Shen Changyan and the others came out of the tunnel one after another and expressed their gratitude to the old shopkeeper and the waiter.

The waiter sighed with some regret: "Oh, it's a pity that after eating so well, I didn't enjoy the delicious food. It's a pity that those good wines and dishes are missing."

Shen Changyan said with a faint smile, "Do you want to continue eating?"

The shop waiter nodded vigorously, and replied: "Of course, but, can I continue to eat?"

Shen Changyan asked all of them to close their eyes.

Everyone obeyed.

Shen Changyan chanted a mantra and said that the hidden food and drink had been summoned again.

Everything is still the same as it was before they stopped, still steaming.
