Chapter 196
Rather than letting this kid follow her alone after being rejected by her, Shu Liang chose to take Li Yan to Yongle County together.
Before leaving, she left a message for Twelve, telling her where Li Yan was going, so that when someone found out that he was missing and asked, she didn't know how to respond.
Twelve is good at disguise, although there is a slight difference in figure from her, but once the armor is put on, no one has the courage to stare at the coach.
Although Wen Congli didn't tell her in the letter, since they have identified Qi Song as the murderer, what will they do next?
The answer is self-evident.
Qibei is far away from Yongle County, one south and one north. Although Shu Liang sent news to Wen Congli, I hope he will investigate carefully, so as not to kill a good person by mistake and let the real murderer go free, but I don't know if Wen Congli will give her This opportunity to stall for time.
So along the way, the two of them raced at full speed, barely resting.
But when they arrived in Yongle County, it took five days and five nights.
Fortunately, the weather here is much warmer than that in Qibei, so you don't need to wear too heavy clothes.
The night in Yongle County is much more lively than in Beiyi City. When Shu Liang and Li Yan arrived, it was estimated that it was already midnight, but red lanterns were hung at the door of every house, and most of the shops on the street were open to welcome customers, and they set up stalls with burdens. There are a lot of hawkers.
"Hey, tomorrow is Luo Yuanwai's fiftieth birthday. I heard that the Luo family originally planned to have a hundred tables, and you can enter at the gate of the Luo residence..."
"I was thinking of rushing to get a seat early..."
"Don't think about it, don't think about it, it's all because of the Qingying Villa, these people in the martial arts know how to bully good people just because they know a little bit of martial arts!"
"Huh? Didn't it mean that the second son of the Luo family forcibly robbed his beloved girl..."
"Do you believe this too? If it is really to avenge the one you love, then all the gold and silver treasures in the Luo family's treasury have been emptied by ghosts? This must be an excuse!"
"That's right! To put it bluntly, what is the difference between these people in the rivers and lakes and robbers and bandits? They say they rob the rich and help the poor all the time, and we haven't seen anyone come to help us. Instead, they killed the real good people! It's just that good people don't get rewarded." !"
"I see, they are just greedy for the Luo family's money, and deliberately found an excuse to kill people!"
"What did Yuanwai Luo do wrong? What did the Luo family do wrong? Seventeen lives were lost overnight?!"
"Hmph, I don't know how they have the face to take their children back after killing their parents and relatives? Aren't they afraid of retribution?!"
"A few days ago, when the public trial was held, that man called Qi Song was beaten to death and refused to admit that he had killed someone! He looks handsome, but I didn't expect him to be a coward who dared to act and dare not admit it! Bah!"
"So much money, it just disappeared like this. This man named Qi Song is really abominable. He refused to confess his accomplices when he was about to die! Let others take the place of the dead for nothing! He is so obsessed with protecting his accomplices, When he gets to the underworld, people will burn paper money for him? Idiot!"
Hawkers set up stalls here every day to do business, and they have a deep friendship with each other. At this time, there are not many people, so they chatted casually.
Seeing them talking to each other, the chatter became more and more excited, and the loud voice attracted passers-by's frequent glances. Shu Liang led the horse to look at them, and lowered his head to look at his night clothes.
It seems that the Luo family extermination has been widely spread in Yongle County, and it has aroused the anger of the local people. From their words, it is not difficult to hear how much they hate the Jianghu people.
In order to prevent himself from being suspicious by stepping forward to ask questions, Shu Liang took Li Yan to a clothing store to change his clothes, tied the horse to a place, and ordered Li Yan to guard it.
Listening to them, they are still one step late.
Wen Congli didn't give her a chance to delay, he had already started to arrest Qi Song.
Shu Liang never let go of his frown. He was eager to know Qi Song's situation and specific situation. After explaining to Li Yan, he turned and left after hearing his soft "um".
The hawkers were still talking indignantly when she came to their stalls.
Shu Liang walked over, pretending to choose jewelry on the table, listening to their conversation calmly.
The stall owner in front of him saw the business coming, so he temporarily withdrew from the conversation with them, asked her what jewelry she liked with a smile, and picked up a hairpin from time to time to recommend to her, saying that it was suitable for her.
With a slight smile on his lips, Shu Liang took the silver hairpin he handed over, as if he just heard what they were talking about, with a puzzled face, he said: "You said that Qi Song from Qingying Villa refused to confess to his accomplices, Didn't Qingying Villa be searched when we went to arrest people?"
"We don't know about Qingying Villa and Hongying Villa, but I heard that when the lord sent by the imperial court led troops there to arrest people, he found the missing little doll of the Luo family right after entering. Isn’t this conclusive evidence? Originally, the lord wanted to order a search, but Qi Song refused to let them in. He stood in front of the officials and said nothing to let them in. If you want to see blood, you will kill thousands of people as soon as you get out of the scabbard! In order not to hurt the innocent, the adults will only increase the killings, so you promise not to go in and search, and only arrest Qi Song."
The more he described, the more exaggerated his facial expressions became.
Shu Liang narrowed her eyes, nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and asked again: "Oh, so that's the case, then do you know where that lord is now?"
The peddler: "Who doesn't know this? He lives in the inn closest to the execution ground! Huangquanju! It's just for the convenience of sitting on the guillotine tomorrow!"
As he said that, he couldn't help muttering a few words: "Oh, it's really rare that people live in this Huangquan residence."
Shu Liang responded with a smile: "Yes, no normal person dares to live near the execution ground, and he doesn't know if he can sleep in the middle of the night."
Hearing this, the peddler suddenly turned pale with shock, and motioned her to keep a low voice: "Shhh, girl, you can't say that everywhere. I heard that the lord is a high official in the imperial court, so I can't afford to offend you."
Shu Liang asked again how to get to the execution ground, thanked him, bought a safety knot, and went back to find Li Yan.
Li Yan watched her talking with the peddler from a distance, although it was a little far away and couldn't see clearly, but he could hear clearly.
The boy glanced at her, then slowly moved his gaze down, and landed on the bright red peace knot she was hanging on her fingertips.
In the night, the peace knot flutters with the wind.
Sensing his gaze, Shu Liang raised her hand and asked with a smile: "I bought it just now, do you like it?"
"……Um."
Li Yan nodded slightly.
It was just a worthless gadget, since he liked it, Shu Liang handed it over: "I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, General."
Li Yan took the safety knot, glanced at the bright red color of the palm, slowly gathered the palm, and placed it on the chest inside the skirt.
Seeing this, Shu Liang couldn't hold back, and asked a little more: "Why did you put it away? Shouldn't the peace knot be tied around your waist?"
How can there be any reason to hide it?
The tight corners of Li Yan's mouth were obviously relaxed a lot. If you look closely, you can still see a slight upward curve.
The night wind blows, blowing the red lanterns hanging nearby.
The red light was reflected on his face, which was indistinct and inexplicably revealing a bit of tenderness.
The tails of his eyes were raised, and his clear and pleasant voice was full of joy, as if he had found a treasure, and said to her: "The general sent it, I want to hide it."
Shu Liang didn't quite understand: "Why?"
Could it be that she felt that the things she gave were shameful?Can't wear it outside to be seen?
No, this peace knot doesn't look so ugly.
Li Yan had a panoramic view of her puzzled expression, and a faint smile flashed across her eyes.
Then he raised his hand, placed it gently on his heart, and said to her where he put away the safety knot just now: "I'm afraid of getting dirty, afraid of losing it, and I can only feel at ease if I hide it."
Shu Liang was taken aback, "This is not something valuable..."
It only cost a few pennies, right?Can't even buy a box of plum cakes...
Li Yan shook his head lightly, and said solemnly: "This is my heart."
It is his heart.
Seeing his cherished and cherished attitude, Shu Liang thought that he misunderstood that it was specially bought as a gift for him, and was speechless for a while.
"..."
ashamed ashamed.
When she gave it away, she really liked it when she saw him eagerly, and she didn't think of anything unsatisfactory.
But now the recipient of the gift regards it as a wish, she can't explain that it's not a wish, but it was just given to him casually, right?
This is so embarrassing, maybe the child will feel that he thinks too much and becomes inferior?
In order to alleviate the inexplicable guilt in his heart, Shu Liang blinked, and said nonchalantly: "I will send you a better one next time."
Li Yan raised his eyes to look at her, and her figure was reflected in his dark pupils.
The few seconds of brief silence gave Shu Liang the illusion that he had seen through his thoughts.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the young man in front of him stretch his brows and eyes like a crescent moon. He raised his lips and said softly, "Okay."
-
The two put on night clothes and appeared at the door of Huangquanju shop.
The inn was already closed, and Shu Liang gave him a look, signaling him to go in first and let him follow.
Li Yan raised his eyes to look at the quiet inn, with a dignified expression, seeing her move, subconsciously raised his hand, wanting to stop her.
But he underestimated her speed after all.
A piece of clothes slipped across his fingertips, Li Yan watched Shu Liang climb up the window sill, quickly opened the window of one of the rooms, and slipped in nimbly.
"..."
He opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, seeing her disappear from his sight, his eyelashes trembled, and he quickly jumped up to follow.
Shu Liang sensed that there was no one in the room from the window sill, so he raised his hand and opened the window. After entering, he found that the room was pitch black and the door was closed tightly.
Her footsteps landed silently, and she did not relax her vigilance.
After a while, she felt as if she had touched something on her head. She slowly raised her hand to touch it, and rubbed her fingertips. After confirming that it was a spider web, she fell silent.
... What kind of broken shop is this?Sanitary conditions are so poor? !
A person who is so particular about Wen Congli can't stay in the magistrate's mansion, condescending to live here? !
