Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 42 Suspicious
The night in the wilderness is extraordinarily quiet.

Occasionally, a bug can be heard far away.

Ye Ya's chirping cry sounded like a mournful cry, and everyone who heard it chilled.

The man squatting outside the dilapidated house leaned close to the coachman, half pillowed on the coachman's shoulder, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The head was pushed violently, and the man woke up with a start.

With a blink of an eye, the sky in the east is already bright.

There was a faint sound in the room behind him.

He turned to look back.

I saw a pair of dark eyes staring at him blankly at the door.

He woke up completely with a jerk.

Rubbing up from the ground, she looked defensively at Shen Xinniang standing at the door, "You, you, are you a human or a ghost?"

Shen Xinniang shifted her gaze from him to the coachman.

The coachman also stood up from the ground, looking at Shen Xinniang with some hesitation.

Shen Xinniang, however, had no fear on her face, and said slowly: "You are not a servant of the Shen family, but just employed by the Shen family. If this happened, the Shen family would definitely not be able to stay any longer. I am afraid that you will not stay longer in the capital city. , you plan to take the money and leave the capital."

The coachman frowned.

"Kill our master and servant in exchange for some money, even if you leave the capital, go to a place where no one recognizes you, and settle down again. But you will always bear the guilt of murder in your heart, dreaming back at midnight, repeatedly tortured, your My heart will never be at peace, I will always be in torment, no matter where you go, the smell of blood on your hands will never be washed away, and the nightmare of murder will always haunt you." Shen Xinniang's calm face, pitch-black eyes, calm expression Look at the coachman.

The coachman was slightly out of breath. It's not that he hadn't thought about it, but he wanted the money even more!

"I can give you more money. You take the money, leave the capital, and never come back. Whether it is me or the person who hired you to kill me, there is nothing you can do about it. You find a new place, settle down, and live in peace I don’t have to bear the responsibility of murder, and I don’t have to endure my inner suffering, so, isn’t it better?” Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes for a moment.

"Oh, if you still need to do business with the person who hired you, it might be useful to put a little blood on this dress." Shen Xinniang raised her hand and threw out a pure white dark coat, "It can also delay you, It is convenient for you to leave Beijing."

The coachman's eyes were full of struggle.

He is not a desperado, and he would not do such a thing if the money was not too attractive to him.

The man behind the coachman glanced at Shen Xinniang, took a step forward, put it close to the coachman's ear, and said, "Okay, I think it's okay... Who told the other side to lie to us first! Let her be the one to pay her back!"

The coachman frowned, turned around suddenly, and slammed his fist on the man's face.

The man is off guard and is being hit in the nose.

A bloody smell rushed straight to his forehead.

The man screamed, "You, you, what are you doing?! Isn't it in the nest?!"

But the coachman put the clean white coat thrown by Shen Xinniang in front of the man's face to catch the blood from the man's nose.

The man came to his senses and cursed, "Why don't you hit yourself?! Use my blood! It's okay to put the blood of those two little girls... you'll cheat me..."

The coachman stuffed the clothes into the man's arms, turned his head to look at Shen Xinniang and said, "Where's the money? Give me the money first!"

Shen Xinniang withdrew her eyes and retreated the carved gold bracelet from her hand, and took off the red gold walker and hairpin from her head.

"I don't have that much cash on me. You can pawn it, and it will never be less."

The coachman frowned, stepped forward to take the red gold object, looked at it carefully, and bit it in his mouth.

"Is it red gold? Do you understand?" the man asked in a muffled voice while patting his nose to make the nosebleed flow more smoothly.

The coachman glanced at him, "It's almost there."

The man wiped the blood from his nose, smiled and handed her the blood-stained dark clothes, "Let me have a look!"

But the coachman stuffed the red gold object into his bosom, "You watch it, I'll go back as soon as I go!"

"Let's go together!" the man snorted.

The coachman glared at him, "I don't know how much money I can make! Take care!"

The man scratched his head, glanced at Shen Xinniang, then quickly turned his head away, "Hurry up..."

Shen Xinniang returned to the house.

Dan Xin hugged her knees and sat on the straw, feeling uneasy: "Lady, the pawn shop is very undervalued. Although the things are all pure gold, can they really be used for a lot of money? Will it...will it..."

Dan Xin began to cry again.

Shen Xinniang shook her head firmly, "Don't worry, there will only be more, not less."

Dan Xin raised her head and took a look at her own wife, even in this dilapidated and dirty house, the lady remained calm as usual, without any panic.

How does the lady know?In the midst of adversity, why can the lady be so calm and confident?

The largest pawn shop in Beijing.

The shopkeeper looked carefully at the red gold object in his hand, and squinted at the man standing outside the counter.

"Things are indeed good things, do you want to live or die?" asked the shopkeeper.

The coachman frowned, "Damn, don't try to lower the price, I just came here because of the popularity of your pawn shop!"

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "That's natural, that's natural, the pure gold item is finely crafted, let's weigh it first, and wait a moment, sir!"

The coachman urged: "Hurry up!"

"My lord, the shopkeeper of Guangyuan Pawn Shop has come to report that someone is pawning something from the palace! He dare not make up his mind, so he has to report it urgently!" In the palace of Prince Qi, the entourage of King Qi bowed and reported.

"Where are the things?" King Qi raised his head from the book.

"In order to delay that person, the things are still in the pawn shop, and the shopkeeper is negotiating the price with that person." The entourage reported, "The palace people in the palace will steal some things from time to time and go out to pawn them, but usually they don't sell them all at once. There are many, even if more than one piece is taken out, they will usually be sold in several pawnshops. This time, this person seems to have no idea that the items belong to the palace, and several pieces of gold pieces were sold in Guangyuan, and he said he would die."

King Qi pondered for a moment with lowered eyes, but he felt a faint intuition of uneasiness in his heart.

"Go and have a look." King Qi got up.

In Guangyuan Pawn Shop.

"You suppress the price too hard! Your heart is too dark!" the driver said angrily, reaching out to snatch back the red gold jewelry on the counter.

King Qi, who was sitting upright in the back hall, took a sip of his tea, nodded slowly, "Give it to him."

The shopkeeper at the front got the letter, gritted his teeth, nodded reluctantly and said: "Three thousand guan, there is no more."

The coachman frowned, a little anxious, "Chengcheng, I want cash!"

"You can't handle the cash! This is official money, you can exchange it wherever you get it, and it's convenient to carry around, don't you think?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

The coachman reached out to take the flying money, put it in his arms, glanced left and right, and strode away from Guangyuan Pawn Shop.

"Follow up, don't be noticed." King Qi ordered.

The shopkeeper put all the red gold jewelry on a lacquer plate and presented it to King Qi.

King Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, got up immediately and said, "I'll go in person!"

The coachman faintly felt as if someone was following him, but when he looked back, there was no one.

He let out a long sigh.

A person like him really can't be a villain, but he just became someone's jewelry, so he is so suspicious, if he really kills someone, I'm afraid he won't be able to live in peace in this life!

He was carrying flying money and a burden filled with blood clothes.Came to a remote alley.

Waiting in the alley was a servant woman in her thirties and forties.

The maid looked left and right and stepped forward to take the burden in his hand, and said in a low voice: "This is five hundred guan, there are still five hundred guan, I will give it to you after the master has seen this thing."

The coachman snorted coldly, turned and left.

The servant woman who met the coachman walked away quickly, carrying her burden, without noticing the eyes following her.
