Chapter 287 Screaming in the night alley

The head of the Nie family suddenly frowned after hearing Nie Renxi's answer. He thought about it for a few seconds, then looked up at Chi Linjing and said: "In Shangjing, the full moon state banquet has always been the top priority. In the past years, there has never been a case where a minister was absent. Moreover, Yin Miao, as the governor of the palace, was under the direct jurisdiction of Qiu Nanyan and was one of the nine palaces. He could be regarded as a third-rank official. Therefore, if something had not happened to hinder him, , he should not dare to be late voluntarily."

"Dad, what do you mean? The governor of this business, Shi Yinmiao, didn't come to the banquet. It's most likely that something happened?"

Chi Linjing watched the interaction between the Nie family and his son, but after listening to it, he just lowered his eyes quite naturally, as if he was in no hurry to talk.

The relationship among Daliang officials is complicated and there are only a lot of discords, but in Chi Linjing's view, as long as Shi Yinmiao, the governor of this line, is not listening to the incident in Xianlou, it is not within their scope.

After all, what they want to protect is Nanxia Anzhuang Tingxian Tower, not some Daliang Yueyuan state banquet hosted by Emperor Chongwen.

Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and made his position clear to the Nie family and his son: "It's already late at night, you should go back and rest first."

Nie Renxi frowned in confusion, but still planned to ask: "Then the governor Shi who didn't come to the banquet for some reason..."

Chi Linjing raised her hand to stop Nie Renxi's words, indicating that he didn't need to say any more. The two met their eyes in mid-air, and Nie Renxi keenly caught the waves in Chi Linjing's eyes, as deep as a deep pool, but without any emotion.

"Let Emperor Chongwen investigate clearly."

On the Yin Mansion side.

The magnolia tree in the courtyard received the cold white halo emitted by the round moon. It shone on the half-opened and half-lost petals in the autumn, and they were actually somewhat transparent. The gossamer-like stamens moved with the breeze at night. Swinging, sweeping among the dense leaves, making a rustling sound.

Yu Ruyi lazily leaned on the wicker chair, thinking to herself: Time flies so fast. She still remembers that the last time he sat here and looked up at the sky was in spring. That day he had not yet figured out why. , he was disturbed by a group of assassins, and Yu Feng forced him to fight with others. In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

Yin Luo and Wu Zihan sat side by side on the roof of the main hall opposite the magnolia tree, each holding a bottle of wine and chatting between them.

"Ting'er likes to enjoy the breeze and drink on the roof like this." The girl in red smiled and looked far away at BOE unconsciously. After all, how could she not understand what Wen Ting'er meant? At the Full Moon Banquet just now, the reason why Wen Ting'er so firmly refused to go back to the Yin Mansion with the five of them was because he was rushing to the East China Sea to keep the appointment? She was clearly afraid that the people she had offended would follow her whereabouts tonight and go to the Yin Mansion to cause trouble for Yin Luo and the others.

Wu Zihan, who also understood all this, nodded with emotion, took a big sip of wine and responded, "Yes." Then he didn't know how to answer the question.

Yu Ruyi in the courtyard squinted her eyes, and the words of the two people on the roof fell into his ears word for word, with some emotions similar to regret and sadness, which was very consistent with the atmosphere of reunion and joy of the Mid-Autumn Festival. rush.

Thinking like this, he stretched out his body, turned and tilted his head and said something, trying to divert the attention of the two people: "Fifth brother, I heard that your brother-in-law got married to a Quanshan thief some time ago? Is he somehow married?" Why did the famous second-in-command of the Wu family and one of the best young talents in Hedong fall in love with Quanshan and steal it? This year when we returned to Jiangnan to attend the Zuanying Banquet, we passed by Xie Yu Inn, and you, the good second aunt, even tried to rob it. According to the invitation from the traveler in the inn, if I remember correctly, she seems to have already surrendered to Lord Hongying. What? Could it be that Fifth Brother and your Hedong Wu family are the Northern Liao forces lurking in Daliang? "

Wu Zihan lowered his head and looked at him, first laughed twice, and then replied: "Sixth brother is joking, I don't know what the story is between my second uncle and my second aunt. After all, my second uncle lives in the old house all year round, and I and I He is not seen often. But I can definitely answer your next question. The Wu family has taken root in Daliang for generations and has no connection with the Northern Liao royal family."

Yin Luo raised his eyebrows and said to Yu Ruyi: "You have nothing to say, don't you think it's far-fetched?"

Yu Ruyi stuck out her tongue at her, "You mind me." At this moment, Xu Zhichen and Meng Qingyue were sitting at the square table in Xixin Pavilion, looking at the scene in the courtyard from the room. It had been a long time since they had seen their younger brothers and sisters bickering and fighting. Noisy, not only does it feel fresh at this moment, but it is also quite enjoyable.

"Do you plan to stay in Shangjing or return to Cuizhou with the fourth princess?"

"Ah Fang and I have discussed that we will return to Bai Qishan after we are officially married. The rules for going to Beijing are onerous and there are no restrictions."

Meng Qingyue answered Xu Zhichen's question gently with a smile in her eyes. After he finished the first half of the sentence, he opened his lips slightly as if he was thinking of something again, but was interrupted by a sudden strange sound.

"Here comes someone - help -"

The sound of frightened and screaming people suddenly came from the street outside Yin Mansion, which seemed particularly harsh in the silent night.

Yu Ruyi kicked her legs quickly and jumped up from the wicker chair first. She frowned and looked at Yu Feng, who was sitting on the steps with his chin in his mind as he missed Yan Yao. "What's going on? Come and have a look with me."

"Someone come quickly——"

As soon as Yu Feng stood up, the voice appeared again, and the trembling shouts were scattered by the wind, rising and falling, filled with weirdness and horror.

He reacted and quickly followed up with Yu Ruyi, who was three to five meters in front of him. He subconsciously gathered Qi in his palms and held out half of the dart stuck in his cuff, so that his master could fight at any time.

Yin Luo's expression suddenly became alert. She put down the wine bottle and looked at Wu Zihan. They both jumped off the roof and followed Yu Ruyi and Yu Feng to the outside of the house.

Seeing this scene, Meng Qingyue stood up and wanted to follow, but Xu Zhichen stopped her: "Sit down and let them go. You will be getting married soon, and such a sharp scream is definitely not an auspicious occasion. Don't go Contaminated with this turbid blood."

Xu Zhichen patted his arm twice comfortingly, and then advised: "Don't worry, any one of the four of them can hold a place now. You already have old injuries, so what will happen if you leave them? What's more, this This is the capital of the country, Shangjing. This house is located outside the palace, and there are imperial guards patrolling and guarding the surroundings. These shouts are not weak, and soon some imperial guards will hear them and arrive."

She had analyzed the situation in front of her and laid it out. Meng Qingyue, who had listened carefully, naturally no longer insisted on her own opinion. She just lowered her eyebrows and exhaled softly, "Okay then, I will stay with the eldest sister and wait for them to come back. I will ask you again then." Just ask for news."

Xu Zhichen nodded with satisfaction, then slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking, as if he was meditating on Zen.

The shout came from the southeast outside the Yin family. When the four of them followed the sound here, they saw a somewhat familiar person sitting slumped on the steps of a black-tiled government office, with trembling hands and a dazed expression. Under the moonlight, you can clearly see the fear on his face. It seems that the fear is mixed with disbelief and surprise.
