delicious little cook

Chapter 379 There Are Murderers on the Street

In the next few days, it lasted until the seventh day of the lunar new year. There were constant visitors from various rooms in the mansion, and relatives all concentrated on the seventh day of the new year. The appointment of the temple fair happened to be on the eighth day of the lunar new year.

The children who paid New Year's greetings to the old lady and the first house had a lot of fun in Ye State Mansion this year. There are many sweets and pastries that they have never eaten before, which are countless times more delicious than the traditional snacks that are tired of eating. The relatives on the other side are not treated so well, because Bai Kou would rather be exhausted in the small kitchen than to borrow everyone's staff from the East Kitchen. Everyone has a share, this is the rule.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Bai Kou went to bed early after dinner, and when he woke up the next day, the fatigue accumulated in the past few days was finally relieved.

After breakfast, they rested for a while. The carriage set off from the stables, first went to Jicheng Hall to pick up the Sixth Young Master Gu Chen, then went to Zhongming Courtyard to pick up the eldest son Gu Yun and Bai Kou, and then went out to meet the guards at the side door, and then turned to Main street, drive out of the square.

Gu Chen was still chatting with his elder brother at the beginning, but when the carriage left Tianshuifang, he fell asleep and even yawned a few times, but Gu Yun and Bai Kou also yawned. Feeling sleepy, anyway, it will take a while to walk to the Yuanhe Palace Road, so I just find a comfortable position and take a nap. During the Chinese New Year, the master and servants are all exhausted.

Just like the grand scene of the Yuanhe Palace Ceremony at the end of last year, the more you go there, the more crowded the road is. The coachman walked decisively to the moat, entered Qianlefang from the river embankment, and parked the carriage between Yuanhe Palace and the county palace. In the narrow alley, this long narrow alley has already become a free parking lot at this time. There are a row of gorgeous carriages parked by rich and powerful families. One piece, leaving only the width for pedestrians to walk.

The coachman stopped the carriage, Gu Yun and the three got out of the car and landed, and asked the coachman to go play by himself, but they didn't come back so soon, and then walked into the street with the guards, and entered the gate of Yuanhe Palace.

The New Year's Temple Fair lasted until the Shangyuan Festival. Naturally, there were a lot of people. Bai Kou only entered the first courtyard last time. This time, she finally entered the second courtyard with the two young masters. She toured comfortably and met many people. Acquaintances and new-faced young masters and ladies.

After strolling around, Gu Yun and his brothers were dragged away by his acquaintances, the guards and Bai Kou were able to have free time to move around, and they agreed to go back to the carriage to gather after lunch.

Seeing that the guards were all going to pray to God and worship Buddha, Bai Kou turned around and walked out. First, he walked around the temple fair site where he first entered the compound, ate a few snacks, wiped his mouth and walked out of the mountain gate, and began to stroll on the street , as long as it was a shop that sold food, she went up to have a look, and unconsciously carried a few snack boxes in her hand.

The big restaurants on the street were already full, and diners occupied the tables before the meal time. Bai Kou went to the alley, found a restaurant with the same crowd, and bought a pack of freshly baked lotus leaf rice. The rice was tightly wrapped in lotus leaves, and Bai Kou carried it in his hand and walked back, intending to eat it in the carriage.

When passing by a side alley where sundries were piled up, Bai Kou suddenly heard a strange movement and turned her head curiously. Behind a pile of broken baskets, a crime was happening right in front of her eyes.

I don't know which family's servant was covered from behind and stabbed in the liver. When the man's body slid limply to the ground, another accomplice was searching his body for property, and there were still people on the ground. A beautiful little boy in gorgeous clothes but with his mouth gagged and his hands tied behind his back, parked a simple carriage behind them.

Every time during the holidays, it is the time when ordinary people lose their children, and this beautiful little boy looks four or five years old at most, but there is no panic in his eyes, and when he sees Bai Kou walking into the alley, his eyes are full There is also a sense of regret.

"Stop! Don't meddle in other people's business! Otherwise, I'll make you look good!" Seeing that it was a little girl, the two murderers with knives did not panic. Instead, they waved their daggers together and threatened.

Bai Kou calmly looked at the little boy on the ground, with a puzzled and puzzled expression on his face, "What are you two doing for killing my servant and tying up my young master?"

The two murderers were stunned for a moment, and found that this was different from what they had agreed in advance. They had clearly agreed that a servant would bring the child out, and after murdering them, they would take the child out of the city and sell it far away. Maid?

"Let my young master go, or I'll call someone out." Bai Kou said ridiculous threats with a silly look, and slowly moved towards the little boy.

The two men bullied each other as a little girl, and they were not afraid of threats at all. One of them was holding a dagger and grinning and was about to pounce on her.

Bai Kou was the first to aim the hot lotus leaf rice at the man's face and smash it at the man's face. It made him scream, aroused his anger, and rushed over regardless.

Just waiting for the two of them to move separately, Bai Kou smashed the pastry in the other hand. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the man raised his hand to block, she pulled out a copper flower hairpin from her head, and ran over shortly. Huachai's sharp feet were like daggers, and she stabbed hard from his crotch.

"Uh!" With a short scream, the other party's eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell to the ground suddenly. Then he felt the boundless pain that swept over him, and passed out neatly, with blood dripping from his body. A pool of blood was formed.

Bai Kou leisurely picked up the dagger he had dropped, and danced dazzling knives in his hand.

The little boy who is a meat ticket watched this extremely cruel scene, and hope was ignited in his heart. He stared at this little maid who pretended to be himself. Judging by her clothes and temperament, she must be a powerful girl from a wealthy family. Looking at the remaining murderer, he already wanted to escape and dared not fight any more.

"This heroine! I am blind! Your young master returned it to you, please spare me this time!"

"Throw down the dagger, and leave me the money and the carriage. Get out of here quickly. I don't want to kill people during the Chinese New Year."

"I'll stay! I'll stay! Thank you for not killing me!"

The man quickly dropped the dagger, tore off the money bag from his belt and threw it on the ground, then turned around and wanted to go around the carriage and go out from the other side of the alley.

Bai Kou waited for him to turn around, and threw the dagger in his hand like a throwing knife, hitting the opponent's vest.

Not in a hurry to reap her spoils, Bai Koo looked back and forth cautiously, and the passers-by at both ends of the alley didn't notice any movement here, so she picked up the dagger and money bag on the ground, and pulled them out from the crotch of the previous man. His own flower hairpin confiscated his belongings, and the carriage was empty, except for a water bag and a pack of dry food.

Bai Kou leisurely checked her harvest. Besides a little cash, there were three 100 taels of silver bills. Bai Kou spread these three silver bills into a fan shape and fanned them a few times. The little boy with a meat ticket had a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

It is really full of a strong taste of conspiracy to hire people to commit murder.
