Chapter 39
"It's on fire! It's on fire!" Someone in the inn exclaimed loudly, "Come and put out the fire!"

Among the show girls, there were bold people poking their heads, some panicked ones rushing to go downstairs, some cowardly ones crying in fright, and there was a bustling noise all of a sudden.After hearing the news, Nanny Li who rushed over was furious and yelled loudly, "Someone has already gone to put out the fire, so everyone stay in the house honestly! Don't run around!"

What should I do if some beautiful girls get lost in panic?Besides, since there is a fire, wouldn't it be bad if the faces of a few beautiful women were burned?And, and, maybe there are thieves and the like?What should I do if the show girls are treated lightly by thieves?It's terrible!
In a short while, the entire inn was turned upside down.

Gao Chen lived in a separate room downstairs, and he was responsible for the Jiangdu Xiunv who went to Beijing this time, so he immediately put on his coat, raised his sword, and rushed out swiftly.This is an inn with an inner courtyard. Standing below and looking up, there is a room on the second floor that is filled with green smoke, and several young eunuchs are constantly pouring water into it.

How could there be a sudden fire in the house for no reason?Gao Chen couldn't help frowning slightly.

Fortunately, after a while, a little eunuch poked his head and shouted: "The fire is not big, it has been extinguished." He added: "The lampstand fell on the bed curtain, and the tent was burned."

Nanny Li stomped her feet repeatedly, and shouted upwards: "Whose house is that?" She didn't want to make a big deal, but just wanted to confirm the small direction, and reprimanded: "Why don't you be careful, it's fun to knock over the candles in winter Is it? Tell someone to come down!"

The little eunuch looked embarrassed, and replied: "Mommy, there is no one in the room."

no one?Nanny Li's face turned pale immediately, she panicked for a moment, and then said sharply: "What do you mean there is no one in the house? Quickly check to see if it is hidden at the foot of the bed or in the closet? Find him quickly!" .”

Someone upstairs had to ask to look for it, "Yes."

In an instant, there was a scream, "Ah! Killing, help!"

Several little eunuchs at the door ran down in a panic, followed closely behind, and a little eunuch ran out with bloody hands, stumbled and rushed down, "There are assassins! There are assassins...there are assassins under the bed!"

Gao Chen's voice was clear immediately, and he shouted, "All the beautiful girls in each house go back to the house, don't come out!" Holding his saber, he led his guards to the second floor, stood outside the house, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ?get out."

Some of the guards went in and searched for places where people could hide, and some of them surrounded the bed.

Gao Chen waited for a moment, without any nonsense, "Lian crossbowman, shoot!"

"Forgive me! Forgive me!" There was a cry from under the bed, and a thin middle-aged woman crawled out with a disheveled face, handed over the sharp knife in her hand, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" , "General, please spare me! Little, little woman is just taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others..."

This kind of insidiousness is not convenient for everyone to listen carefully.

Gao Chen immediately ordered the deputy general, "Tie it up, take it down for interrogation."

"Yes." The deputy general led the order to tie up the man and leave.

The woman was sobbing, unable to speak, shaking like she was sifting chaff.

Nanny Li poked her probe from behind to confirm that there was no danger before she dared to come over.Seeing that the "thief" was a woman, he breathed a sigh of relief. If a strange man came, he would be in big trouble if he couldn't tell clearly later.

Gao Chen pointed to the guards, "Search!"

The rest of the guards checked the bottom of the bed, the wardrobe, and the corners. They didn't even let go of the beams. There were no other thieves, but... there was no sign of Xiunu either.

Nanny Li's face was very ugly, "Nobody? What should we do?" She ordered another nunnery to go to each room to count the number of people, and everyone else was there, even the beautiful girl in the firewood room. Without Xianhui alone, his complexion became even uglier.

Gao Chen's eyes froze,... Shao Xianhui?How happened that she disappeared.

"The king of the four counties." Li Mama stomped her feet and said, "I know, it must be that stinky girl and her brother who made troubles. They discussed in the afternoon that they would run away, so they deliberately set fire and disappeared."

"Nurse." Gao Chen interrupted, "Don't rush to draw conclusions."

Nanny Li also spoke angrily, anxious in her heart, knowing that even if someone wanted to escape, it would be fine to set fire to make trouble, there is no reason to bring another murderer.But I was anxious and regretful, the master of the Shao family said that he would give money in the future, and take care of her daughter all the way.

After a while, the lieutenant general came over, stepped forward and muttered something quietly.

Gao Chen's eyes lit up, like the flickering cold stars in the dark night, "Is this true?" Seeing the lieutenant nodded, he waved his hand and said, "I see, you take the rest of the people down first."

The lieutenant didn't ask much, and automatically carried out his order to take people away.

Nanny Li was at a loss.

Because the fire was not too big, the smell of smoke in the room had almost dissipated.

Gao Chen waved his hand, led Mammy Li to talk, closed the door and said, "That Shao Xianhui has an enemy who bought the servant woman in the inn in advance, and if she wants to kill her, she probably didn't want to escape."

"The enemy?" Li Nanny asked in surprise.

Gao Chen didn't mean to explain, but wandered around the room, especially from the side of the bed, looking carefully at the traces on the bed, as if he found something.

Nanny Li is someone who has been in the palace for many years, and she knows what to ask and what not to ask, seeing that he doesn't want to talk, she doesn't get to the bottom of it, anyway, this is not the point.I thought about it for myself, "If she didn't escape by herself, how could she not be seen alive or dead? Even if you report her death, you have to send a corpse to her family. Otherwise, if you can't find it , just say that she sneaked away."

Gao Chen waved his hand, signaling the other party to keep quiet.

Nanny Li pursed her lips immediately.

Outside the window, gusts of cold wind blew, and the whimpers of ghosts and wolves sounded, which was extremely miserable.

Gao Chen suddenly strode towards the window, pushed it away suddenly, then unsheathed his sharp sword, swung it towards the window that couldn't be pushed, and said sharply: "Come out! Otherwise, the sword is ruthless."

"Don't, don't...!" A soft girl's voice trembled from behind, "It's me, I'm outside, you take the sword away...I, I'll come in right now."

It was none other than Xianhui.

Nanny Li breathed a sigh of relief.

This girl is smart, she would have been killed if she had been hiding under the bed.

Gao Chen poked his head out to look out, and sure enough...it was her.

The moonlight was hazy, outlining a beautiful girl's face, her face was pale, and her eyes were like washed ink-colored gemstones, shining more dazzlingly than stars.With her slender hands, she tightly grasped the window frame and went to the room. She was only wearing a thin pink undershirt, swaying in the cold wind.

Gao Chen's gaze suddenly jumped.

Xian Hui was blown cold and stiff by the cold wind, shivering, and her hands and feet were numb.The wooden plank on the window is narrow, and it may fall if you are not careful. She is moving a little bit with difficulty, and stammered: "I, I will come in..."

The window of the inn was not big, and she bent over like a kitten. This posture just revealed a large white and delicate neck, as well as a delicate and beautiful collarbone, which was quite attractive.

Gao Chen immediately turned around, and went out without saying a word.

Nanny Li looked at her thin clothes, and couldn't help scolding her, "How dare you stay outside for a long time when you're dressed like this? You really want to die and don't choose a good day!"

Xian Hui was almost turning into a lump of ice, and was shaking. Hearing this, she was so frightened that her feet stepped on the air, she leaned over, and fluttered in a hurry, "Ah! Help! Help me..."

She instinctively covered her face with her hands, and fell down at an angle!
Just as he was about to break half of his body, the next moment, he fell into a steady and strong embrace.

Uh...huh?This is……?She raised her eyes in a daze, and saw half of her face, the jaw was as smooth as a beautiful jade, and there was a cool air.God!Himself...and Gao Chen, cuddling together?Her mind went blank for a moment, and even her embarrassment slowed down a bit, "No, I'll come down..."

When the wind blew outside, she was so cold that she shivered violently!
Xianhui's nose was itchy, and she couldn't help it, "Ah...ah!" She shrank suddenly, couldn't help but hugged Gao Chen tightly, and knocked her head on his chest, "Ouch... I'm sorry ” Her originally pale face suddenly flushed with embarrassment, ... what is this?Throw yourself?Hug?He must have misunderstood.

So he quickly let go, pushed him, and cried out in his voice, "I, I didn't do it on purpose."

She moved wildly, causing the figures of both of them to shake.

Gao Chen looked down at the troublemaker in the villain, his patience had reached its limit, and he said word by word: "If you don't stop, I'll throw you out of the window!"

Xianhui's face turned pale, her lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't move.

Nanny Li's eyes widened, hey... what is this?How can a beautiful girl be hugged by another man?In a hurry, he immediately lifted the quilt in a panic, "Sijun Wang, quickly put her under the quilt and cover her."

Gao Chen instinctively went to save someone, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he regretted it——Can women be hugged casually?Can Xiu Nu be hugged casually?Not to mention, the girl in his arms is still going on, hugging and hugging, pushing and pushing, almost wanting to throw her on the ground!

He strode to the bed in three steps and two steps, threw the "trouble" in his arms on the quilt, and without saying a word, he walked away with a cold face, holding the sword and pushing the door.

Xian Hui trembled all over, resisting her embarrassment and embarrassment, and thanked him stammeringly, "Many, thank you..."

There was a "thump, thump, thump" outside, and the sound of Gao Chen's footsteps going downstairs quickly.

Xianhui's whole body was frozen to the brim, her teeth were chattering, she was shivering and curled up into a ball, she couldn't take care of him for the time being, and there was no reason to chase after him.Covering herself under the quilt, she sneezed a few times one after another, almost bursting into tears.

"Remember." Madam Li told her, "I found you today after the four county kings left."

Of course Xian Hui knew the seriousness of the matter, she was a beautiful girl right now, if it spread that she had been hugged by another man, she would have to move her head, and Gao Chen would not be able to bear it.So he nodded again and again, trying not to stutter, "I remember."

As soon as he finished speaking, his teeth began to fight uncontrollably, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Nanny Li added an extra quilt for her, and then asked: "How many thieves came up tonight? Does the woman have any accomplices? Are you okay?"

Means, have you been humiliated?

"It's gone." Xianhui understood in her heart, and tremblingly said: "It's just a woman, I'm fine."

Mother Li was relieved when she got the right words, got up and said, "I'll get someone to get you a Tang Pozi, and I'll bring in two braziers to make you a bowl of ginger soup. Tonight, just lie down and cover yourself. "Sighed, "Don't break your life on the road."

Xian Hui burst into tears and had a stuffy nose, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Nanny Li."

She couldn't say that she was very grateful in her heart, she just looked at it for the sake of the Shao family envoy's money.

On the other hand, Gao Chen, although he has always had an irritating face, finally accepted his love. If he hadn't hugged him today, wouldn't his ass have broken into eight petals?He is like a noble person in his own destiny. When he meets him, he can always save the day, er... the noble person of Bingshan?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help being a little funny.

— followed by another burst of embarrassment and embarrassment.

Xianhui comforted herself, it's okay, it's okay, Gao Chen has always been a manly man.In his eyes, he can only be regarded as an object at all, he won't care, won't care.Well, I don't have to take it to heart, I just treat it as being hugged by an object.

When you turn back to be free, just give him a serious thank you.

Hey... No, there is no need to thank him later.

Otherwise, if you cause trouble, wouldn't you be looking for trouble if you have nothing to do?Forget it, I will silently say thank you again.

Xianhui muttered under the quilt: "Thank you, thank you." Then he folded his hands together, trembling all over and muttered: "And thank God and Bodhisattva for blessing, thank you Lord Buddha, let me escape another catastrophe. Future blessings! There must be future blessings!"

But... who the hell sent that person?So vicious!

In the downstairs room, Gao Chen was talking to Nanny Li alone, "She has made an enemy, so it's hard to say if there will be any other killing moves in the future, and we need to be more careful in the future."

she?The two have gotten to know each other so well?Nanny Li's eyes flickered slightly, remembering that she had seen Xianhui in Prince Qing's Mansion before, it was hard to say whether Gao Chen would have known her before, thinking about it further, maybe it was Lang's concubine who was interested.

Otherwise, how could he hug so fast and accurately today?

"Mother Li?"

"Uh." Nanny Li withdrew her thoughts and nodded again and again, "Yes, be more careful."

Gao Chen looked at the other party with a flicker of eyes, and said coolly: "You have to be clear, if Xiu Nu died on the way, you and I will both be held accountable. Not to mention, if there is a big trouble like tonight, if there is another Wouldn't it add to the chaos if other beautiful girls were implicated? At that time, there will be no good fruit to eat."

Nanny Li hurriedly lowered her eyes, these four county kings are so young, they are too good at reading people's eyes and guessing people's hearts.

Just now, he guessed his true meaning just for a moment, and he didn't dare to distinguish, so he could only bow his head and respond: "The king of the four counties is right. According to my servant, everyone in the inn will have to be inspected in the future. Let them save their weapons and send a few young eunuchs and nuns to patrol all night, I would rather work harder than make mistakes."

Although Gao Chen was displeased, he didn't care about it with a woman, so he waved his hand, "Go down and make arrangements."

Nanny Li stood up and said goodbye, "Yes."

Under the moonlight, Gao Chen sat quietly alone, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of faint frost.

Rong's mother and daughter are so presumptuous!
According to the desperate woman, she and her husband were both from nearby villages.She has been helping wash vegetables and dishes in this inn, and do some rough work. She earns three melons and two dates every month, and takes them back to supplement the family.My husband runs errands in Jiangdu. In order to save money, he is usually busy in Jiangdu and only returns home during the holidays.

A few days ago, someone found her husband by all means.

It is said that someone wanted to buy the life of a beautiful girl named Shao Xianhui.Then he made a deposit of 1000 taels of silver, and promised to give another 2000 taels of silver after the matter was completed.Together, the husband and wife, instead of running around for half their lives and not being able to earn much money, it's better to be a big one, turn around and leave incognito, how easy it is to be a rich man?Therefore, this head-off deal was finalized.

The corners of Gao Chen's mouth curved slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

The East Courtyard of the Shao family came from a small place like Xianzhi Town, and they had only been in Jiangdu for a few months. The so-called enemies, and they are in Jiangdu, who else is there besides the mother and daughter of the Rong family? !What happened tonight, I have to talk to my brother Haosheng later, let him know how vicious the Rong family is, so as not to be blinded by these disasters.What's more, I have to make it clear to my mother that my brother is ignorant, but my mother is not, and I can't let them stir up trouble in the palace.

The matter between Shao Tongyun and her elder brother was unclear at first, but later I personally saw Shao Jingyu splashing hot oil on her. From mother to children, they were all vicious and vicious like snakes and scorpions!

She gave birth to Shao Tongyun, and even entered the palace to serve as a concubine for her brother.

There is also a sister-in-law, who is also a person who does not want to settle down. Why is my brother surrounded by such women?But if you want to blame, first of all you have to blame your brother for his lack of rigidity--I can't help but feel angry.

If the second brother is still alive?Whenever this happens, Gao Chen always feels a little sad in his heart.

In the early spring of March, the nights are still chilly.

Gao Chen used to sleep very, very lightly, but after being tossed like this, his whole body was completely awake, and he was no longer sleepy.He put on a fox fur cloak and sat by the brazier, the firelight shone on him, and the room was warm and harmonious, which made him feel a little turbulent in his mind.

Thinking of the hug just now, even though she was as cold as an ice bump and couldn't be called soft and fragrant, she still hugged her in the end.

I hope that Nanny Li is a smart person, and she should have confessed to her, lest she accidentally slip up and cause trouble again.However, thinking of the previous times when she met her, that eloquent appearance didn't seem stupid, she should have a sense of proportion in her heart.

It's a pity, most likely a woman who yearns for glory and wealth.
