Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 380 Who's next door?

Huo Jiu glanced at her, held the last three peanuts in the bowl in his hand, weighed them and said: "In consideration of the overall situation of the palace, I will accompany you for a walk."

Shen Yan wanted to refuse.

But his legs are too long, so he has already gone out first...

The two walked along the alley next to the teahouse, and saw a purple-clothed guard waiting there.

Seeing them, he came up from a distance and cupped his hands: "The Lin family had already gone to the private room named Huangying upstairs in Cuiyinfang.

"Who is the shopkeeper in the private room has not been disclosed, and because the younger ones went late, so I can't find out by myself."

In the capital, there are people behind every ostentatious business, and if the shopkeeper doesn't disclose it, naturally they don't want to force them.

Huo Jiu walked forward without saying a word, Shen Yan followed her and turned a few turns, and suddenly returned to the main street, and across the street was Cui Yin Fang.

Seeing from the front, the shop was full of guests, Huo Jiu crossed the street, and when he reached the door, someone greeted him immediately.

Shen Yan didn't want to attract attention, and after he went upstairs, she quietly followed him.

When I got to the stairs, I looked up and saw that the room at the end of the corridor was "Huang Ying".

"It's quite a tacit understanding." Huo Jiu came out from nowhere, looking at her with raised lips.

Without waiting for her to reply, he went straight to Huang Ying's next door: "Thrush".

Since the shopkeeper does not disclose the origin of the guests, their existence is naturally safe.

As soon as Shen Yan entered the door, she eavesdropped on the wall.

Huo Jiu looked at her sneaky but helpless look with cold eyes, and at the same time picked up the snack cards on the table to fan the wind leisurely.

Although the walls are made of wood, they are not thin. The room over there is quiet, and no voice can be heard.

As long as you stay here, it is not difficult to know who is coming next door.

But if you can't hear them talking, how do you know what's going on inside?
At this time, the window slammed, and a figure rushed in.

"My lord, next door is Han Ning!"

……

In the private room, Han Ning sat by the table with a friendly and gentle expression.

"So Mr. Lin is indeed from Helian?" she asked.

Teacher Lin focused her attention, she clenched her hands and said, "My father's family is from Helian, and my mother's family is from Tuoba. But there is no one on my father's side. The blood has been impure since ten generations ago.

"Our Lin family is not a famous family, but just a country gentry in the suburbs of Beijing. But my father and ancestors have all passed Jinshi, and the children in the family are still eager to learn."

Han Ning nodded, stroked the silk, and asked again: "Mr. Wang looks like someone from a wealthy family.

"I heard that this Xunmei Academy is opened by the concubine Shizi. I think the treatment is not bad. The concubine Shizi is also very insightful. Such errands are not everywhere in the street. I don't know why the master is leaving so soon?"

Teacher Lin blushed, and said, "Actually, I was fired as a concubine.

"Miss Xi said that she has a good sister who is willing to work as a female teacher in the school, and there are not many people in the school, so..."

"She let you go?" Han Ning's eyes flickered slightly.

After a short pause, she smiled again: "It's a coincidence that you two seem to be from the Helian clan. Does Miss Xi have a preference for the Helian people?"

"Don't dare to say that nonsense."

Miss Lin had only received 20 taels of silver from Shen Xi, so she naturally didn't want to cause trouble for her: "It's just a coincidence.

"Miss Xi is just kind-hearted, seeing the poor background of the concubines, and showing some sympathy.

"Young lady is Miss Sun from Ge Lao Mansion, and also the future concubine. How could we take special care of us because we are from Helian?"

This sentence, Miss Ge Laofu, hurt Han Ning.

One must know that the position of elder in the Shen family was obtained in exchange for her chastity!

"Really?" she said lightly.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly reached out to the servant girl behind him, took a few bank notes and said, "I have 50 taels here. Maybe you will need it."

Ms. Lin was slightly taken aback, 50 taels of silver was enough for her and her children to eat for a year.

"You don't get paid for nothing... I dare not accept it." She lowered her head.

Han Ning raised her lips and said, "It's already a merit for you to answer a few questions for me."

Ms. Lin wrung her hands, a little nervous.

Han Ning said, "Have Miss Xi met any other Helian people during the half month you have been in Xunmei School?"

Miss Lin froze, shook her head and said, "Not really. Never."

Han Ning didn't force her either.If Shen Xi really wanted to meet, why would he do so in front of them?
She was just here to try her luck.

After she went to look for Han Dun, she made up her mind to take revenge on Prince Yan's mansion.

Just heard that two Helian female teachers were recruited in her school dormitory, so she came to inquire about it.

But he didn't expect that Shen Xi would be quick to fire the two of them so quickly.

But in this way, she was even more sure that she had a ghost in her heart!
It's just that the female teacher doesn't seem to have any useful information to provide at the moment, so how can she get evidence related to Zhang's family?

After pondering for a while, she raised her eyes and said, "Okay, it's all right. When you come out from Miss Xi, I will send someone to find you and give you an errand."

Ms. Lin let out a deep breath, looked at the bank note she held out, waved her hands back and refused to accept it.

Han Ning smiled and said, "I mean what I say. You need money too, so just take it and leave your place. I'll have someone take you to work tomorrow."

Miss Lin looked at the tall women standing on her left and right, and then she collected the money and left.

……

In the private room, Shen Yan couldn't help but sink after hearing the guard's report.

Why did Han Ning stare at Miss Lin and ask Shen Xi about the Helian people?
What does she want to do?
And did Shen Xi guess what Han Ning wanted to do, and that's why he asked her to fire him all of a sudden?
But she couldn't care about that much anymore, now she had to run back to the mansion and tell Shen Xi immediately!

But thinking that Huo Jiu was still here, she subconsciously stopped.

Huo Jiu seemed to be a little absent-minded, he slowly raised his eyes to look at her: "Does your sister have contacts with Helian people?"

"How is that possible?!" She blurted out. "You are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

"But her parents were accused of saving the Helian people back then."

Huo Jiu, who was talking about business, had an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura, especially now that he was standing up.

All prisoners in the fixed prison are hard-boned prisoners. As a supervisor, if he doesn't have a tougher side, he obviously can't take up this responsibility.

"so what?"

Shen Yan's heart tightened slightly, but her words came out very neatly: "Could it be because my uncle and aunt had an accident because of this, so my sister must be involved with the Helian people?
"If that's the case, then will she have to inquire about the eight-life lineage of strangers before meeting strangers in the future? By the way, hang up the sign that Helian should not be approached?"

In fact, what the guard relayed made her suspicious of Han Ning's motives, but she still didn't want an outsider to question Shen Xi.

Huo Jiuhuan looked at her with his hands: "I thought it was a soft rabbit, but it turned out to be a red-eyed rabbit."

Shen Yan glared at him, annoyed.

If Shen Xi hadn't pulled her out of the mud, how could she be what she is now?

"What's the matter with this scar?" Just when she was on full alert, he suddenly gave up the topic, and with a frown, he brushed away the hair behind her left ear.
