Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 69
"Miss, the servants don't know either."

A clerk knocked on the door just now and made a registration of the number of occupants. Because he knew that he was a family member of an official in Kyoto, he was very polite. It seemed that the yamen was arresting a suspect. According to the clues, this person was staying in the inn.

"Suspect? It's not a murderer, is it?"

Mo Yan shuddered and was completely awake. She sat up from the bed and muttered helplessly, "No wonder sister Chen Ying said that meeting Wanqi Yuling was not a good thing. It can be written as a history of blood and tears!"

"Miss, what does this have to do with King Nanping?"

Mo Xiang's ears were pointed, her face was gossipy, her eyes were shining brightly at Mo Yan, waiting for the next sentence.

Mo Xiang didn't know what happened last time in Cyclamen. She didn't know how many men in black died that night. In her impression, her daughter went to the wrong room after getting drunk and peeked at the prince taking a bath. .

"It's ok."

Mo Yan stared at the sky speechlessly, too lazy to explain, the master and servant were about to talk when there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

Mo Xiang placed the screen, opened the door, and was stunned for a moment. At the door stood a trembling man, behind him were a dozen officials with swords at their waists, and the leader was stretching his neck to look into the inner room.

"Miss, the suspect who infiltrated the inn, for the sake of safety, every room has to be searched, and please forgive me if I disturb you."

The leading official was very polite, with a hypocritical smile on his face, a fake smile, small eyes like sesame seeds and mung beans, just like a dingy mouse, Mo Xiang frowned, she didn't say anything, she felt a little dissatisfied happy.

Although the inn is a public place, but my lady is the daughter of a second-rank official in Kyoto, very honorable, how could these men come in and search the room?This is harmful to the young lady's reputation. She is a maid, so she really can't make decisions.

"Master, our young lady hasn't left the room since she entered the room. This little girl can prove it. How could there be a suspect in the inner room?"

Mo Xiang thought for a moment, and felt that it was still impossible to let people in. Where did the suspect come from? There are so many rooms in an inn, but he came here, and he was not afraid of bumping into his lady.

"Girl, this is an order from above. We are following orders, and we have no choice but to act."

Seeing this, the leading official was not angry. Originally, the room was used as the lady's boudoir, so it was unlikely for them to break into it, let alone they couldn't afford to offend anyone.The master only confessed that he was a suspect, but he didn't say what he had committed. It was raining heavily outside, and they, who were officials, could only obey orders and come to check the house in the rain.

In the room, Mo Yan put on her shoes and was about to go out to see what was going on. Just after taking two steps, she suddenly smelled a smell of alcohol. This body is very sensitive to smells. She followed the smell and raised her head, just in time I caught the beam of the house A light blue figure.

"Master Mu, why is it you?"

Mo Yan lowered her voice, subconsciously thinking that the officer outside the door was looking for this person, but Mu Bai is the owner of Luzhou Zuixianlou, and the two had met a few days ago, so he unexpectedly appeared here.

"Miss Mo."

Being discovered, Mu Bai hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a wry smile, it was raining heavily outside, and he couldn't find a place to hide, so he ran to the inn, he was forced by these officials, almost all the officials in the city were mobilized .

"Miss Mo, to be honest, the officials outside the door are just to arrest Mu, because I committed a small crime. If Miss Mo is willing to help, Mu is willing to give 1000 taels of silver as a thank you gift."

Mu Bai clasped his fists towards the bottom, he escaped from the magistrate's mansion yesterday, he was careless when jumping over the wall, his leg was scratched by the wire, and a lot of blood came out.Unfortunately, it rained so much today, if he was walking outside, the wound might fester.

"Young Master Mu, what did you do?"

Mo Xiang was circling outside, Mo Yan herself was not in a hurry, she crossed her arms, raised her head with great interest, and observed Mu Bai who was in a panic, money can turn ghosts around, money is easy to do things, she is willing to help, but also You must ask the question clearly, if it is a murderer, only give 1000 taels, and make her an accomplice to cover up, it is unreasonable.

Anyway, it wasn't her who was in a hurry, Mo Yan saw Mu Bai's troubled face, she sat on the chair, poured herself a cup of tea, and sipped it leisurely.

"Miss Mo, this matter is no small matter. Mu can't say anything, but Mu can swear to the sky that it is definitely not an unreasonable thing."

Mu Bai raised one hand and became serious.On this point, Mo Yan believed that this person did not smell of blood, nor did he look like a murderer.What kind of "drunkenness" did Zuixianlou create to deceive people who came here admiringly from other places, and the money was like running water, so they gave 1000 taels of hush money, which is a bit small.

"2000 taels."

Mu Bai squinted his eyes, and immediately understood what Mo Yan meant. With a heartache on his face, he made a gesture of Xizi holding his heart, and threatened, "Miss Mo, have you ever thought that if Mu was arrested, so would you?" Jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it off."

"Lonely man and widow, living in the same room will be a hindrance to Miss Mo's reputation."

Mo Yan rested her chin on one hand and nodded, but what if it hurts her reputation?She, Mo Yan, didn't have much reputation in the capital, and now she cares more about money than reputation.

"Two thousand five hundred taels, no more!"

Mu Bai was no longer as calm and composed as he was when he first met Xiankelai. He gritted his teeth, took out all the silver on his body, and said sincerely, "Miss Mo, there are only so many silver taels on Mu, so I have to keep 30 taels and take it back. travel expenses."

"make a deal."

The rain outside the window kept falling. Mo Yan stood up and opened the window. A rain curtain formed in front of the window. The distant scenery became blurred. A gust of cold wind blew into the room, mixed with the fresh smell of rain. , to dilute the alcohol.

Mo Xiang kept blocking him outside the door, and the officer tried his best to persuade her. Mo Yan opened the door and smiled at the officer, "Masters, I'm really sorry, my maid is not sensible."

The inn is a public place, and the group of people is just a temporary rest. They will rush on their way immediately after the rain stops, so they should cooperate with the search by the officials. Mo Yan is reasonable, but the officials are very embarrassed. They hurriedly entered the inner room and wandered around. At that time, I also got some broken silver coins as wine money.
