Chapter 122 (1/2)
Nanxun usually has no major events. It is rare to have a murder case of a rich family, which has become the talk of the people after dinner.
Five or six days later, there was still no news from the Yamen.
The rumors in the streets are getting worse and worse. It is certain that Tong Sheng, who only works in the sweet cake shop, also listened to it. With his own brain mending, a dog blood plot was born in his mind.
In the middle of the night, ah Yao woke up again, sat stunned, and the moonlight spread all over the room.
”Fifteen...” master Wangyue stayed in Nanxun prison for six days. During this period, she made many hypotheses, but what about the evidence? There is no evidence in hand, nor can I go to the crime scene to investigate. No amount of speculation is in vain, ”if only I could fly over the eaves and walls.”
A Yao sighed. She lay down and closed her eyes, but she turned over like a fried yellow croaker. She didn't sleep well all night.
The sweet cake shop passes through the ”publicity” of the big and small stores on the street of Wenfang. The people living nearby are reluctant to come in and have a cup of tea.
Zhou BINGSHU came to teach Tongsheng in spite of rain or wind. Seeing that ah Yao was at a loss, he hesitated. In front of ah Yao, he didn't dare to pat his chest and say to pull them. He left the sweet cake shop and went back to Nanxun thatched cottage to ask his husband if he could help.
Mr. Su's face, quickly walked to the door, looked around and made a quick inspection, closed the door, pulled Zhou BINGSHU to the inner room, pressed down his voice and stopped: ”are you crazy? You haven't passed the imperial examination. Before you become an official, the so-called raising people in front of the county magistrate is nothing but a white body. Don't make trouble at this time! ”
”What's wrong with this case?” Against his usual tone, Zhou BINGSHU noticed the fishiness and asked.
”You have to go to the examination. With the recommendation of the governor, your way to Beijing will be smoother.” The master stressed again, ”think about your father and mother. If you have a heart, you shouldn't sink yourself in at this time. ”
The teacher with gray temples looked straight at Zhou BINGSHU. Zhou BINGSHU begged the teacher, but he felt a pain in his wrist. The teacher held his hand tightly, and the back of his hand burst out“ Master... ”
”Promise me!”
As soon as I read it, my mind flashed the figure of my parents facing the Loess and back to the sky, and the picture of my father adding oil to the lamp and changing the wick.
Zhou BINGSHU was silent for a long time. Finally, he nodded slowly and heavily and said softly, ”well.”
On the other side, ah Yao saw a familiar figure on her way home.
With his head slightly tilted, he couldn't help but cheer up:
Meng Qianxiu?
What's he doing here?
It seemed that a pair of eyes grew behind him. Someone looked at him. Meng Qianxiu turned around and saw that it was ah Yao. He walked quickly and squatted down, smiled and said, ”Xiao yaozhu, we haven't seen you for a long time.”
Not used to being too close to strangers, or Meng Qianxiu didn't get along well with her own aura, ah Yao stepped back and opened the distance: ”Hello, young master Meng, are you looking for my master? Unfortunately, she is not at home now. Come back next time. ”
”I have a way to save the moon girl.”
When he was at a loss, Meng Qianxiu's words were like a glimmer of hope. Even if he was the suspect on the funnel chart, ah Yao didn't want to miss the news that could save Wangyue: ”seriously?”
”Children and old people are not deceived.”
How can a gentleman be deceived? A Yao smiled as soon as she heard it. A normal adult would not ask for help from someone weaker than herself. Unless she had ulterior motives, she listened to Meng Qianxiu's method: ”then, please come here, childe Meng.”
Just about to invite him into the house, Meng Qianxiu declined: ”thank you, but I ordered a good dish in Zuixian building. I just wanted to invite Xiao yaozhu to Zuixian building. This is not a place to talk. I went to the door and waited until Miss Wangyue came back.”
