History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 50

The two returned to the city in the carriage, but instead of going back to the mansion, they went to Danling Lane.

There are a lot of books and shops in that place, and there are all kinds of wonderful gadgets. They often go there and always get new ones. When Lin Lang goes out, whenever she has free time, she always likes to go there and pick out some new and interesting things.

After entering Yiqiu Gate, walk through the bustling long street. The roads in the capital extend in all directions, and the main road to Danling Lane makes many twists and turns. If you want to save time, you have to take shortcuts in those secluded residential alleys.Naturally, Lin Lang didn't want to waste her efforts, and because there were a lot of people leaving the city today, and the main road was sometimes blocked by cars and horses, she and Pei Mingxi hit it off and took a shortcut immediately.

In the capital, every inch of land is precious, and the buildings on both sides of the streets are mostly open and spacious. When it comes to the alleys of residential houses, the land is as precious as gold.The low walls of the Zhumen are connected successively. Most of the houses in this area are two-story attics built of blue bricks. There are many capable craftsmen who build three-story houses.

The taller the house, the narrower the narrow alley.The wheels of the carriage ran over the mossy stone slabs, Lin Lang and Pei Mingxi were happily talking about today's painting session, when the carriage stopped suddenly, a young man outside said: "I don't know which family's carriage is ahead, please make way. "

There was no sound from the opposite side, so the young man said: "If you dare to ask who is the opposite side, please make way!"

Lin Lang felt surprised, and asked Mama Yang at the door to lift the curtain, and saw a large carriage parked opposite, the curtain was lowered, and the driver lowered his eyebrows, as if he had never heard of it.

In fact, the boy had been selected before entering the alley, and naturally he would not choose a place that is too remote and narrow, because the fear is that the two cars will not be able to pass when they meet.This alley isn't too narrow, so it's fine if you both go to one side, but the car on the opposite side is parked in the middle of the road, and Lin Lang and the others have to get out of the way if they want to pass.

After answering for a long time there, the boy became a little anxious and urged him.

Suddenly, a woman's low smile came from the opposite carriage, and she continued: "I have been waiting here for a long time, and the girl is finally here."

The voice was extremely unfamiliar, and Lin Lang was surprised, and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"

"I was entrusted by someone to deliver two things to the girl, and I will leave after delivering them. Why does the girl ask me who I am." The woman's voice was filled with a soft smile, which made Lin Lang even more surprised.The curtain of the car on the opposite side was lifted, stretched out a slender plain hand, and beckoned to the driver, and the boy took a square box carved with mahogany lacquer from the car and held it in his hand.

This situation is really interesting, the boy came over and handed the box to Mother Yang, Lin Lang glanced at it, it was tightly sealed, and she didn't know what was inside.She asked again, "What's the other thing?"

"The other thing is to convey a word about the Xu family." The curtain of the car was lifted, and a slim woman walked out of it.She was wearing a silver-red pair of breasts, her face was covered with a pierced veil, and her temples were piled up high, making her look very weak.

Lin Lang hesitated.The woman seemed to see through her mind, and said with a smile: "What are you worried about, girl? There are a bunch of women and maidservants around you, in broad daylight, what else can I do to you?" Then she walked to the middle of the two cars, Standing calmly.

There was a moment of silence in the alley.The other party was so mysterious, Lin Lang's curiosity had already been aroused, she looked at Jin Xiu and the boy driving the carriage, and then saw that there were only two people on the other side, so she no longer hesitated, got out of the car openly, and turned to the The girl goes.

Her behavior is not risky. After all, the He family is messing around in the officialdom. The Qin family can rest assured that Lin Lang will go out alone because this young man and Jin Xiu have kung fu and are usually a little troublesome. These two people can also protect Lin Lang. .Besides, there were guards patrolling the capital, so Lin Lang wasn't worried that she would make any big noises.

When he was two steps away from the woman in the middle, Lin Lang asked, "Tell me."

"She said that it's been hot recently, and she wants to give the girl some refreshment..." Before she could say the word cool, a sound was heard from the top, and a large bucket of water poured down from the sky, covering her and the woman.

The accident came so suddenly that Lin Lang didn't expect it to happen when she was killed. She was drenched to the ground before she could retreat hastily. The barrel kicked away.The woman and the driver on the opposite side turned around and wanted to run away, Lin Lang didn't have time to think, and said sharply, "Catch them!"

Jinxiu caught up with her and wanted to ask her what she was doing, but Linlang immediately repeated through gritted teeth, "Catch them!"

Next to it is a small attic of a residential house. The person who dumped the water has already fled, and it is impossible to catch him.The woman in red and the driver probably didn't expect that the humble servants and maids here could know martial arts, and they were caught up within a few steps.

Lin Lang was drenched all over at the moment, and it seemed that something had been added to the water. When her skin met the water, it felt like ice in the twelfth lunar month, and it was so cold that it went straight to the bone.Lin Lang was originally afraid of the cold, but when she was poured by this thing, she felt her internal organs were about to freeze after only two or three breaths. She curled up in the arms of Mother Yang who came after her, held Pei Mingxi's hand tightly, and gritted her teeth: " Take it back for strict investigation..."

His whole body was shivering from the cold, he couldn't even move his teeth, and the last two words were slurred.
