Jinyi Night Walk

Before a row of cars approached, the breeze spread a strong smell of medicinal materials. In the car in front of the head, sat a member. A long gown, white cloth socks, and a pair of embossed shoes with the word "Yuan Shou".Seeing that he is about forty years old, his eyebrows are light and slender, but his eyes are very energetic. Under the big mouth that eats all over the place is a double chin that reveals a bit of happiness, but the two mustaches add a little bit to him. Very majestic, so that the slightly fat middle-aged man does not look bloated.

He was looking left and right when he suddenly saw Xia Xun. He was taken aback and hurriedly turned his head away, covered his face with his sleeves and coughed, hoping to avoid Xia Xun's sight.But because Xia Xun had already glanced this way when he smelled the medicinal material, if this person sat down calmly, Xia Xun might not be able to recognize him, because although Xia Xun had seen his portrait, after all, he was no better than him. I have really interacted with this person, and those materials are forcibly stored in my mind. If I don't think about it deliberately, it is difficult to use it freely.

But this man's guilty look attracted Xia Xun's attention. The moment he raised his sleeves to cover his face, Xia Xun had already seen his appearance. After comparing it with Zhang Shisan's portraits, Xia Xun Already remembered his identity: "Shengchuntang Pharmacy" is owned by Geng Xin Geng, a member of the staff!

"It's weird!"

Xia Xun's heart moved, and he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Member Geng, long time no see."

Seeing Xia Xun coming forward, the handlebar quickly reined in the mule, and the officer had no choice but to pretend to see Xia Xun, put down his sleeves, and shouted in surprise and joy: "Young Master Yang!" Oh, what a coincidence, hahaha, you and I have not seen each other for a while, where are you going, Mr. Yang?" Then he jumped out of the car and greeted him happily.

The doubts in Xia Xun's heart suddenly increased a bit: "I can't be so lucky? I just wanted to find out the mastermind behind the assassin, and I found the culprit right away? But... this person's expression and behavior are so abnormal, it's almost on his face. It clearly stated 'I have a ghost in my heart'. He is my second suspect, since I met him here, I might as well explore his reality first."

Thinking of this, Xia Xun laughed and said: "How about a coincidence, my brother is going to visit Geng Wai in your mansion, and Geng Wai is full of travel and dust, where did you come back from?"

There is nothing wrong with these words, but for some reason Geng Yuanwai's face turned red when he heard these words, and he seemed to be furious. Xia Xun couldn't help being surprised, but seeing Geng Yuanwai hesitated for a moment, his anger gradually suppressed, and he replied solemnly: " Oh, I... I went to Jinan Mansion to buy a batch of medicinal materials. I worked hard for more than ten days. I just returned to the city. I didn't want to meet you here, it's really a coincidence..."

"Go to Jinan Mansion for more than ten days?"

There was a strange look in Xia Xun's eyes, and he said with a smile: "That's strange, my brother was not at the mansion a few days ago, and after I came back, I saw Brother Geng's greeting post, so if you want to go to Zun's mansion to pay homage, then please Post the date..., let me think about it... Well, it was nine days ago, that's right, it was nine days ago, brother Geng invited me to the house for a banquet nine days ago, why did you go to Jinan more than ten days ago?"

"Is it?"

Member Wai Geng's face had just returned to normal, but it immediately turned red like chicken blood again, thanks to his face being red instead of purple, otherwise his changing face would have been so changeable. Xia Xun almost suspected that Geng Yuanwai had practiced the Huashan school's unique skill: Zixia magic skill.

Xia Xun felt even more strange in his heart: What happened to this Geng member?If the lie was exposed by me, he should panic, or else he should force himself to be calm. Why did he change his face twice, with an expression of embarrassment and indignation? Xia Xun couldn't help but asked again: "Brother Geng, what happened?" gone?"

"Oh……"

Member Wai Geng lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then raised it slowly, the expression of extreme shame and anger in his eyes had disappeared, he said with a half-hearted smile, "Yes, yes, it was nine days ago, you Looking at my memory, I planned to go to Jinan to buy medicinal materials more than ten days ago. I didn't plan to leave in such a hurry, so I posted a post to the young master, asking him to go to the house for a drink. Who knew that the invitation had just been sent, so I accepted it. When I got to Xin'er, it was said that there was a big drug dealer in Jinan, and there was a batch of medicinal materials in a hurry to sell for my brother, so I left in a hurry, haha, haha..."

He was smiling, but that smile revealed a kind of helpless grief and anger. Although he suppressed himself, he could still see that his body was trembling constantly. Looking at his nervous smile and movements, Xia Xun's confusion deepened, he suddenly smiled, grabbed Geng Wai's arm, and said happily: "So that's the case, since that's the case, the left and right brothers are fine today, how about going to your mansion to disturb you now?"

"This..., this..."

"Why, Geng Wai is not welcome?"

"How could it be?" Geng Wai's face twitched, and he forced a smile and said, "My lord, please, please..."

Xia Xun looked back at Peng Ziqi, said with a smile, "Let's go."

Peng Ziqi didn't say a word, just turned his head away.Xia Xun found that her attitude had become as bad as when she first met her at this moment. There was clearly an unconcealable disgust and contempt in her eyes. It was strange, what was going on with this girl?Haven't reached the age of menopause, are you so moody?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Sun Mansion is located in Liuer Hutong, South Street. The mansion is not small, with a pharmacy in front and the family's residence in the back.

When they arrived at Sun's Mansion, Geng Yuanwai ordered the steward to unload the truck and move all kinds of medicinal materials into the store. The shopkeeper and the shop assistants also rushed out to help after hearing the news. Geng Yuanwai accompanied Xia Xun to go inside. , an old man sat on the chairs by the left and right walls, and the gray-haired old man on the left stood up when he saw Geng Yuanwai, smiled and said, "The Yuanwai is back."

He glanced at Xia Xun again, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he also saluted: "Aha, Mr. Yang is here too."

The old man on the right described it a little strangely. He sat near the eaves with disheveled hair, and the sun slanted in and just shone on him. Taking a small teapot, he took a sip of tea slowly, squinting at Xia Xun with cold hostility in his eyes.

Member Geng stepped forward quickly, bowed respectfully and deeply to the old man, and said, "Father, the child is back."

It turned out that this man was Geng Yuanwai's father. Xia Xun looked closely and saw that the old man was vaguely similar to Geng Yuanwai, but he was much older and thinner.He didn't have a hairpin, and his hair was loose and covered his cheeks. According to the saying at that time, this kind of attire was disheveled. It's a little strange, but seeing the reactions of other people in the store, it seems to be normal.

The old man cast a cold glance at Member Geng, and said: "You are now a member of the staff anyway, not a handyman at Shengchuntang. Shengchuntang has bought medicinal materials for so many years. You only need to pick regular customers and send someone with good eyesight to deal with them." Go to the shopkeeper, and all the counterfeit medicines have been added? You need to run around in person, and it takes more than ten days to go away..."

Geng Wai heard "more than ten days", his cheeks trembled slightly, he glanced at Xia Xun, seeing that Xia Xun didn't seem to be paying attention, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, it's only a few days, the child is still young , you should work more diligently."

The old man slapped the armrest heavily with both hands, and snorted angrily: "Diligence? The head of the family goes to do the work of the boy, is that called diligence? Spend more time with your wife when you have nothing to do. They have been married for so many years, and they don't even have a fart." Seeing you were born, you know how to hang out with a group of cronies all day long! Those who make friends with each other will lose their friends when the profits are exhausted; Those who make friends are old and old. Be careful when making friends, don't bring some dubious dog meat friends to your home..."

Huh?It's strange that the old man still speaks in the same way, it seems that he has some ink in his stomach.

He beat the chair a little more angrily, his hair parted to the side, and there seemed to be tattoos on his cheeks faintly, but he couldn't see what the tattoos were, Xia Xun's heart moved, Father Geng...could it be a prisoner?If so, there would be a logical explanation for the strange appearance of his loose hair.Peng Ziqi next to him heard the old man pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, he couldn't help coughing twice, with a gloating smile in his cough, Xia Xun gave her a sideways look, and Peng Ziqi immediately raised his chin.

Mr. Geng Wai's face turned red and then pale when Lao Tzu said it, and he quickly replied: "Yes, yes, what the father taught is that the child has been taught. The child will accompany Mr. Yang to sit in the back, and then talk to the father when he turns around." As if his butt was on fire, he pulled Xia Xun away and left. Father Geng snorted heavily from behind, and cursed in a low voice: "A worthless thing! A worthless thing is an insult to the ancestors!"

Peng Ziqi stood aside, silent for a moment, and then sighed softly.

The small study is just inside the flower hall, which is a small suite outside.Generally, this kind of inner house meeting place of a big family has such an architectural layout. During the banquet, people can use it for a temporary rest, or the host can write a letter, handle the account books, or get excited and sing with the guests. Poetry and Fu can also be handled here, so there are desks and four treasures of the study in the study room, and there is a bed next to it that does not need to be separated by a screen.

After the two sat down in the study, the servants brought tea in immediately. The servant seemed to be quite old, in his 40s, with green stubble under his chin, a thin and lean face, and only limped when he walked. Turning, it seems to have a limp.

"Is this Yu Yuanwai a shantang? Such a person will also stay in the pin mansion, and still stay in the back house to serve tea and water?"

Xia Xun glanced at the servant curiously, only to hear Member Geng say: "Da Yin, go and order the cook to prepare a sumptuous feast, the master wants to have some fun with Mr. Yang."

"Yes, master!" The servant named Dayin took a deep look at Xia Xun and walked out step by step with his broken leg.

"It's weird!"

Xia Xun can't remember how many times he thinks it's weird. When he met Geng Wai on the road, he felt weird everywhere. It's a bit weird, but what's going on?

Xia Xun was confused, but couldn't figure out the key point. He poked the tea foam with the tea lid for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and said coldly to member Geng: "Brother Geng is not in Qingzhou these days, Presumably you don’t know about the assassination of your younger brother at home?”

Member Geng was taken aback for a moment, and then he said in shock: "What? You were assassinated? Who is so bold as to enter the Jinshen's mansion to assassinate the master?"

After Xia Xun finished speaking, she stared closely at his expression, and couldn't help being startled when she saw him behave like this.

Ever since I met Sun's mansion (as mentioned earlier, Geng Xin entered the Sun's mansion and changed his surname to Sun, so the shop name and mansion of the Sun family are still surnamed Sun, and the official name of Geng Yuanwai should also be Sun Gengxin and Sun Yuanwai), all Everyone was eccentric, Xia Xun's suspicion grew deeper and deeper, and he intuitively felt that this Geng Xin had a serious suspicion, so he proceeded directly to test it out.

His assassination two days ago was a play he directed and acted in. If Geng Yuanwai was really the mastermind behind his murder, he would not have taken the murder of Zhang Shisan on himself. Just get confused.Then his expression should be only shocked and not panic, this shock is the shock that he has already known, no matter how deep he is in the city, the shock on his face can be faked, but the pupils will never shrink slightly because of the shock, this kind of Although the subtleties of physiological changes caused by psychology are not enough to determine whether Geng Yuanwai is the real culprit behind the scenes, they can provide considerable help to Xia Xun's judgment.

But Xia Xun was disappointed. Geng Yuanwai's expression was indeed the expression that a person who heard about it for the first time should have.Did the assassination really have nothing to do with him?No, not necessarily, assuming that he is indeed the real murderer behind the scenes, in order to avoid suspicion before he acted, he went to Jinan in public, took a rest on the road for one night, planned the murder case in Yunhe Town, and then continued on the road, ostentatiously in Jinan for many days, now He just rushed back to Qingzhou, and during this period, this person was very cautious. In order to avoid suspicion, he never inquired about the movement in Qingzhou after Yang Wenxuan was assassinated, so he was indeed "unaware", and his suspicion still cannot be shaken off.

Thinking anxiously in my heart, Xia Xun said again: "Yeah, I don't know who I offended, and even entered the house to assassinate in broad daylight. Fortunately, my companion was Zhang Shisan's loyal savior, and the assassin killed ten people." Saburo, seeing that he has alarmed the people in my house, he ran away."

Member Geng was shocked and said: "There is such a thing? In broad daylight, the sky is bright, and the sky is bright, and he actually entered the mansion to assassinate. This murderer... this murderer is really courageous. My brother is not injured? Is there any loss of property in the mansion?"

Xia Xun couldn't see any flaws from his expression, so he shook his head and said: "My little brother is not injured. The guards and servants in the mansion are very vigilant. The assassin escaped in a hurry and did not cause any loss of property. Forget it. Don't talk about this disappointment, tomorrow is King Qi's birthday, Qingzhou gentry and I will all go to pay homage to his birthday. I wonder if Brother Geng has made preparations?"

Member Geng said: "It is for King Qi's birthday that Brother Yu hastily rushed back. I have already prepared the gift for Lord Qi's birthday. Have you prepared it, my virtuous brother?"

Xia Xun said: "Little brother..."

"Master is back?"

Just as Xia Xun opened his mouth, he heard a clear and sweet female voice from outside. Then the door opened, and the fragrance wafted through his nostrils. Along with the swaying skirt and jingling rings, a bright and charming enchanting woman walked in. The woman wears a jade-coloured blouse, a water-red gauze skirt, and holds a goose fan in her hand. She has a graceful figure, as if a beauty in a painting of ladies appears slowly.

"Ah, ma'am." Member Wai Geng immediately stood up, with an extremely weird look on his face.

Listening to what they said, Xia Xun knew that this woman was Mrs. Sun Xuelian, the wife of member Geng Wai, and got up to salute: "Wenxuan has seen Mrs. Sister-in-law."

"Yeah, Mr. Yang is here too, please be courteous, Mr.." The beautiful woman smiled sweetly and used her fan to support her, the blouse slipped off, and the green jade bracelet on her wrist reflected her snow-white and slender wrist, her beauty was stunning.

Xia Xun stood up on her back with the help of the fan, and seeing Mrs. Sun looking into her eyes, her eyes watering and she was ashamed to speak, she felt a "thump" in her heart: "It's weird..."
