This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 679 Oh, man
Youzhou.

Xiangtai County.

On the street, Wen Ruyan was also dressed in purple, and walked with Ye Linxue. There was a steady stream of pedestrians around, and various small stalls on both sides formed a long line along the street.

The sounds of selling, bargaining, shouting, and all kinds of noisy sounds entered my ears, but they were intertwined into a scene of prosperity.

In the distance, a few children cheered and ran to a candied haws seller, and then held up the copper coins in their hands to the smiling peddler, salivating to pick the biggest bunch.

Looking at the picture in front of him, a smile appeared on Wen Ruyan's face, and he turned to look at Ye Linxue and said, "This is the most prosperous county among the many counties I have traveled."

Ye Linxue also nodded, and said, "Not bad."

Wen Ruyan glanced at the teahouse next to him, and said with a smile: "I dragged you out as soon as I arrived here, and didn't let you rest at the inn, are you tired? Let's go, have a bowl of tea first?"

"it is good."

The two walked into the teahouse, and the child with a white tablecloth on his shoulders warmly welcomed them to a table, took the tablecloth off his shoulders and wiped the table twice, then asked them what they wanted to drink, Wen Ruyan gave an order. Xiao Er nodded and trotted all the way back to the backyard.

Wen Ruyan glanced at Ye Linxue, and said embarrassedly: "Should I also let you rest in the inn?"

Ye Linxue shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not very tired."

Wen Ruyan laughed: "Ji Yuan and the others are so tired that they lie on the bed and don't want to think about it. Are you not tired? Can you comfort me?"

Ye Linxue raised her head and glanced at him lightly, and said, "Since you know I'm tired, why are you pulling me out in such a hurry?"

Wen Ruyan froze in place, his face was full of embarrassment.

These days, if you are polite, you will be so hard-nosed?
Xiaoer brought the tea, Ye Linxue picked it up and took a sip, then said calmly without looking at Wen Ruyan, "You first took us to Qingzhou after coming out of Yanjing, and then came to Youzhou non-stop , you must be going to Yunzhou next, right?"

Wen Ruyan looked at her blankly and asked, "How do you know?"

Ye Linxue stared down at the tea in her cup, and said calmly again: "According to our way of traveling, we will reach Jingzhou again in about a month!"

The embarrassment on Wen Ruyan's face suddenly became more intense.

Ye Linxue continued: "When you left Jingzhou, you had already made an appointment with Miss Chu, and you will go back to pick her up in two months. Counting the time, there is still one month left, right?"

"You already know." Wen Ruyan was a little embarrassed to be exposed by her face to face.

"Oh, man!" Ye Linxue snorted softly.

Wen Ruyan smiled awkwardly, but didn't know how to answer the conversation.

But Ye Linxue didn't intend to let him go, but put down her teacup and looked up at him meaningfully and said, "By the way, after returning from Jingzhou this time, you have seen that girl Si Luo very often."

Wen Ruyan was startled again.

"I remember that she seems to be Qing'er's master, and after all, you should call her aunt, right?" Ye Linxue's tone became more and more strange, and her eyes were full of meaning, making Wen Ruyan uncomfortable all over.

Wen Ruyan blushed and said hurriedly: "What are you thinking, we are just reminiscing about the past, after all, she helped me a lot when I went to Changyue."

"Reminiscing about the old days every two days?"

Wen Ruyan became anxious immediately: "The conscience of heaven and earth is really not what you think."

"Oh, man!"

Just when Wen Ruyan was anxious to explain, there was a sudden sound of beating drums from the direction of the county government office in the distance, and then someone shouted from the street: "There has been a murder case, there has been a murder case!"

As soon as the shout came out, the entire street was boiling, and many people ran towards the direction of the county government office. They were so curious and wanted to join in the fun.

This situation happened to relieve Wen Ruyan, and he said to Ye Linxue, "Shall we go and see too?"

Ye Linxue nodded.

Then Wen Ruyan threw a few copper coins on the table, got up together with Ye Linxue and walked towards the county government.

By the time they came over, the county government office was already crowded. Wen Ruyan smiled helplessly, then pulled Ye Linxue and squeezed into the crowd, but I don't know why, obviously the crowd in front of me was full of people, but However, the two of them quickly walked to the front as if they were taking a walk, as if the people around them were squeezed out by the air.

Inside the county government office, I saw the county magistrate in official uniform coming out from the backyard and sitting on it boldly, the gavel slapped, and the two rows of government servants under the stage took the killing sticks in their hands and hit the ground heavily. They shouted in unison: "Wei~wu~"

Wen Ruyan looked intently, and saw a corpse covered with a white cloth under the stage, and three people were kneeling next to the corpse, one was a middle-aged woman who was crying nonstop, and the other was looking down at the corpse. A middle-aged man with an unclear expression, and an old man wearing a bamboo hat.

Xu Shi was annoyed by her crying, the county magistrate slapped the gavel again, and then shouted: "Who is in the audience, what is the grievance, report it quickly, is the place above the court where you cry and cry?" ?”

The little woman was so frightened by him, she stopped crying at that time, and then told the story carefully.

It turned out that the corpse on the ground was his husband, Sun Fan, and the man next to him was his husband's good friend Zhang Yue. A year ago, Sun Fan had borrowed 30 taels of silver from Zhang Yue to go out to do business. A year later, the business became bigger. After returning home, I made an appointment with Zhang Yue yesterday to go to his house in the evening. On the one hand, I want to pay back his money, and on the other hand, I want to drink with him to reminisce about the old days, and thank him for his help a year ago.

But at night, Sun Fan went out and didn't return for a long time. At first, Sun thought that her husband had drunk too much at Zhang Yue's house, so she didn't take it seriously, but when it was almost Haishi, Zhang Yue suddenly came to his house and knocked. Door.

Sun didn't know who it was, so he asked in the courtyard, and Zhang Yue shouted outside: "Sister-in-law, didn't Brother Sun agree to come to me for a drink tonight to pay back the money? I have been waiting for him at home for so long, but why does he keep going?" Didn't come, do you know where he went?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun became anxious and quickly opened the door and said, "He told me to look for you early on, and he has been away from home for more than an hour. Why, didn't he go to your place?"

Zhang Yue suddenly exclaimed: "No, I have been waiting for him at home, and I didn't see him coming!"

The two of them met in this way, and then they became anxious. In the middle of the night, they called friends and went out to look for Sun Fan. They searched all night, but they couldn't find him at all.

Until just now, the boatman by the river salvaged a body from the river. After identification, it was known that it was the body of Sun Fan who suddenly disappeared last night.

Then there was this scene in front of me.

After listening to Mrs. Sun's speech, the county magistrate in the hall frowned immediately, and the large group of people outside the county government office also began to point and whisper to the three kneeling inside.

But at this time, Wen Ruyan suddenly laughed.
