Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 590 Waiting
It was getting dark outside, and the guests in the teahouse had gradually dispersed, leaving only a few scattered tables.

In front of the seat by the window, Lu Jiying and Ning Shi were still waiting patiently, but the relaxed smiles on their faces were gone, and their eyes were fixed on the stairs.

Whenever someone went upstairs, the two of them couldn't help but get up slightly.

With the sound of footsteps, the clerk walked over quickly and said softly, "Two guests."

Lu Jiying and Ning turned their heads.

The clerk said, "I'm so sorry, the shop will be closed in a while, so please see if you can settle the bill first."

Lu Jiying hurriedly said: "We are sorry, we have been sitting here for a whole day. Man, can you discuss with the boss and close later."

The clerk said in embarrassment: "This...Guest officer, the small shop is closed at the beginning of the day, and it is closed at the same time. This is the rule..."

Lu Jiying stretched out his hand, and in his hand was a piece of twelve taels of silver.

The buddy's eyes lit up immediately.

Lu Jiying asked, "Are these enough?"

The man said repeatedly: "Enough, enough, enough. Sir, you can sit at ease and stay as long as you like."

Lu Jiying nodded and said, "Thank you. Please bring me some more water."

The man grabbed the silver from Lu Jiying's hand and said, "You wait a moment, I'll be here."

Said, walked quickly to the counter.

Lu Jiying let out a long breath, looked at Ning's, and said softly: "Tell me—Jing Yang and Yuan Fang, will they come?"

Ning's lips trembled a little. After a long time, she said word by word: "They will definitely come. If they don't arrive today, we will continue to wait until they come tomorrow."

Lu Jiying put her hands together, put them on her forehead and said in a low voice: "God, as long as you let Jing Yang and Yuan Fang appear in Qunxian Tea House immediately, I will do whatever you want me to do..."

Before the words fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the stairs.

Lu Jiying quickly raised his head and looked towards the stairs.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of astonishment.

Seeing his expression, Ning shuddered and said excitedly: "Brother, are Jing Yang and Yuan Fang here! I, I dare not turn back, you tell me."

Lu Jiying tremblingly said: "Don't look back, don't look back."

Ning Shi was startled and said, "What's wrong?"

Lu Jiying slowly turned her head away.

Ning turned her body sideways and glanced at the stairs from the corner of her eye, her face paled in shock.

Longfeng and Yungu were standing at the stairs, looking around.

Ning Shi trembled all over and said, "They, why are they here..."

Lu Jiying tremblingly said: "It seems that something unexpected happened to Jing Yang and Yuan Fang..."

Ning couldn't help sobbing softly, tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Jiying suppressed the grief in his heart and said: "Don't cry, don't cry, now is not the time. We have to leave immediately."

Ning nodded lightly, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Lu Jiying said softly: "Sister Xian, if there is any chaos upstairs later, you should leave immediately."

Ning Shi was taken aback and said, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Jiying gritted her teeth and said, "Don't ask so many questions, you have to escape anyway."

Tears welled up in Ning's eyes, she grabbed Lu Jiying's hand and tremblingly said: "We have lost Jingyang and Yuanfang, we can't lose you again. Don't act rashly, let's leave together!"

Lu Jiying smiled wryly: "Silly sister, this is impossible. Do you think they are fools. After escaping from the teahouse, go back to the county office immediately. Remember?"

Ning nodded with tears in her eyes.

Lu Jiying said: "When you go back, put away the secret letter and wait for my news. If I don't come home tonight, you will leave Shanyang tomorrow morning. Remember my words, keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood."

"Big brother..."

"Okay, wipe away your tears, they are coming."

At the stairs, Longfeng and Yungu quietly observed the situation in the teahouse.

Except for Lu Jiying's table on the second floor, there were only three or four tables of guests left.

Longfeng and Yungu walked slowly inside.

Lu Jiying took a sneak peek, and the store clerk came quickly with a teapot full of boiling water.

Lu Jiying took a deep breath and said, "Run if you mess up."

Ning nodded.

Seeing the waiter come to the table, Lu Jiying stood up with his back facing Longfeng and Yun Gu, turned around suddenly, and bumped into the waiter heavily.

The shop clerk screamed, and the boiling water in the teapot in his hand immediately splashed out and poured on Lu Jiying's face.

Lu Jiying screamed, covered her face with her hands, and rolled to the ground, screaming sharply.

Everyone in the teahouse looked at him, and Longfeng and Yungu also turned around.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ning quickly stood up and ran towards the stairs.

On the other side, Lu Jiying yelled and rolled on the spot. The shop assistant was so frightened that he squatted next to him and kept apologizing.

Longfeng and Yungu looked at each other, at this moment, Ning dashed past the two of them and rushed towards the stairs.

Yun Gu's eyes flashed, Ning Shi had already reached the stairs, her back was facing the two of them.

At first, Yun Gu didn't care, but a scent of jasmine came to her nostrils.

Yun Gu softly said: "The scent of jasmine! Why is this scent so familiar..."

Longfeng on the side asked: "What?"

Suddenly, Yun Gu exclaimed: "Ning's!"

She quickly turned around and chased after her, Ning Shi was running downstairs.

Yun Gu pulled Long Feng and said: "Eldest brother, that is the Ning family, chase after him!"

The two jumped up and chased after Ning.

In the next room, Lu Jiying had already seen this scene. Regardless of the pain on his face, he jumped up suddenly, pushed away Dr. Tea and the onlookers beside him, and rushed away.

Everyone looked at his back and looked at each other.

It was getting dark, Ning sprinted out, rushed to the street, and mixed into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

Longfeng and Yungu then arrived and looked around.

Suddenly a loud voice came from behind: "Do you see who I am?"

Yun Gu and Long Feng turned their heads away upon hearing the sound.

I saw Lu Jiying rushing down the stairs, shouting and running towards the back kitchen, shouting: "The secret letter is in my hand! Someone is here to catch me!"

Yun Gu blurted out: "This guy is the one with Ning!"

Long Feng nodded and said, "I've seen him in Iron Fairy Temple! Gu Yun, if you go after Ning, I'll go after him!"

Yun Gu nodded, and the two ran to the street and then to the back kitchen to chase after them.

Ning walked through the crowds in the street, running desperately, not far behind, Aunt Yun followed closely.

A bakery appeared in front of her eyes, and Ning rushed in.

The waiter from the shop came forward and was about to speak when Ning Shi pushed hard, Xiao Er immediately fell to the side, Ning Shi quickly ran to the back.

The waiter jumped up and shouted, "You are rushing to reincarnate..."

Before he finished speaking, Yun Gu came behind him again, kicked him flying, and fell heavily on the square table next to him.

Yun Gu took advantage of her strength and threw herself in the direction where Ning was escaping.

There is a small river at the back door of the bakery.

Ning ran out, looked around, picked up the door handle beside the door, pushed the back door against it, then jumped up and ran forward.

Yun Gu chased after the back door, stretched out her hand and pushed it, and the door was blocked from the outside.

She kicked towards the door with a flying kick, and with a bang, dust fell beside the door.

Several shop assistants around rushed forward with horse spoons and kitchen knives, shouting: "You crazy woman, what are you doing! Get out of here!"

Yun Gu let out a soft reprimand, and with both fists and palms, she knocked down several servants to the ground in the blink of an eye.

She jumped forward and kicked with both feet.

With a loud bang, the back door flew out.

Yun Gu jumped out, looked around, jumped up, and chased in the direction where Ning Shi was fleeing.

Yun Gu rushed up to the small bridge, looked twice, but there was no trace of Ning's except for some common people walking by.

She held her breath and stood on the bridge to observe quietly. There was nothing unusual around her.

She walked quickly off the bridge to the river bank and looked down the arch.

There is nothing under the bridge arch.

Yun Gu looked around strangely, then quickly ran towards the bakery.

With a sound of "wow", the water splashed everywhere, and Ning's head emerged from the water.

She watched Yun Gu's back going away, looked around, walked to the bank through the water, climbed up the bank with difficulty, wrapped in wet clothes and ran towards the direction of the county government.

Yun Gu has come to the back door of the bakery, observing carefully.

Suddenly, something on the ground jumped into view, it was a wooden waist card.

She hurried over, picked up the waist card, and looked at the light from the bakery. There were a few words engraved on the waist card: "With this card, you can enter and exit the county government."

Yun Gu thought quietly, and after a while, a smile appeared on her face.
