Chapter 40

Tang Nuan was unfamiliar with this appearance, and asked someone to lift up the soft sedan chair. Tang Nuan asked Uncle Du to help the young man in women's clothing get on the sedan chair. Tang Nuan ordered, "Lan Xi, bring a quilt. "

"Yes." Lan Xigong replied.

Tang Nuan also got into the sedan chair. Lan Xi carefully covered the two of them's legs with a small quilt. Tang Nuan also took the veil and put it on. Uncle Du put down the curtain of the sedan chair after checking, and went outside to call. People came in and walked out carrying the sedan chair. Lan Xi and Lan Le walked on both sides of the sedan chair silently, while Du Shuhu was beside the sedan chair.

Before the boat docked, the boatman had already landed in a small boat and reported to the local government office, so when the boat first docked, the government servants and soldiers were already at the port.

Everyone who disembarks will be carefully checked and questioned, so the disembarkation speed is very slow. Soldiers boarded the boat for inspection, and the corpses were also carried off. The corpses after a night are more terrifying than yesterday, except for these people In addition, there are many watching the excitement.

When it was Tang Nuan's turn, it was already time, and the sun was hot at this time, not to mention the people who were waiting to disembark, even these soldiers and yamen servants were impatient, and their attitudes were inevitably worse. Tang Nuan sat She pursed her lips slightly in the soft sedan, this was the first time she encountered such a situation, the man next to him seemed to feel Tang Nuan's nervousness, and the hand under the quilt lightly patted the back of Tang Nuan's hand, although he didn't say anything The words of comfort, but the meaning has been understood.

Tang Nuan looked at him slightly sideways. He leaned on the back of the chair, half-closed his eyes and was also looking at Tang Nuan. He noticed Tang Nuan's gaze, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, but both of them were blocked by the hood. Unable to understand each other's expressions, Tang Nuan quickly looked away, because someone outside asked Tang Nuan and the others to get off the sedan chair.

Lan Xi scolded angrily, "Anyone dares to let my girl get off the sedan chair, what if I get bumped!"

Lan Le also said, "Let your people in charge come here, hmm, you can stop my girl's sedan chair at will? If it weren't for seeing that you are also doing business according to the public, we would have been impatient for a long time."

Lan Xi and Lan Le's official speech is very good, with a Beijing flavor, and even their clothes are more refined than the ladies in the ordinary family. Those government officials can't help but say in a weaker voice, "you two girls, let's go!" All right, we also follow the rules above, and we absolutely dare not mean to offend."

"Does this still mean to offend?" Lan Le said, "In Beijing..." As if he realized that he had slipped his mouth, Lan Le stopped talking.

But these yamen servants suddenly felt a sudden, Jing?Beijing?It turned out that this family came from the capital, no wonder it was so, their expressions became more humble, one of them gave a wink and asked a yamen servant to come to Shangfeng quickly, these people are not something they can offend, if I really stopped it, and I may not be able to appreciate it at the summit.

The yamen servant quickly invited the man, and the man said with a very good attitude, "My surname is Yuan, I am the master of the yamen, you two girls, don't make things difficult for us, after all, the murderer hasn't been caught yet, and we are too. For the safety of the girls, isn't it? Besides, there are so many people under the eyelids..."

Lan Xi wanted to say more, but she heard the person in the sedan chair say, "Forget it, it's better not to be too special when you're away from home."

Hearing this, Lan Le and Lan Xi stepped forward to lift the curtain of the soft sedan chair, and Tang Nuan, who was dressed in fine clothes, got out of the soft sedan chair without looking at the yamen servant beside her and said, "My sister is not in good health and won't come down, you move Be careful."

Tang Nuan dared to say that, naturally Uncle Du had already made arrangements on the boat, even if there were some guests who were surprised that they had never seen the sister Tang Nuan mentioned, they would not talk too much at this time, after all, it might be that she was weak and stayed in the room all the time. There is no need to offend these people for such a small matter, and the attitude of the yamen servant also shows that Tang Nuan and the others are not simple.

After Tang Nuan came out, the eyes of the man who was clearly in charge flashed. He was a man of knowledge. Tang Nuan's jewelry was all exquisite, even the oriental bead in her hair. No matter how Tang Nuan's Dongzhu came from, it proved that Tang Nuan's family background is very good, so her attitude became more respectful, and she didn't ask Tang Nuan's sister to get out of the sedan chair. It was light and light, those boxes were closed as soon as they were opened, and they didn't even dare to flip them.

"I've offended you so much, miss, please forgive me." Master Yuan said.

Lan Xi said, "Can we go?"

"Of course." Master Yuan hurriedly let him go.

Tang Nuan sat back in the soft sedan chair, and the bearer carried the soft sedan chair down the boat. Tang Nuan just breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect to hear a voice saying, "Wait a minute, I haven't checked carefully yet."

"Bold!" Lan Le scolded angrily, looking at the people blocking them.

Tang Nuan froze and pursed her lips. The young man dressed as a woman next to her sat up straight unconsciously. Uncle Du said at this time, "May I ask what the officer means? He stopped my girl after the inspection. .”

"Then check it again." The man was about 35 years old, his eyes drooped, and he was riding on a horse in a military uniform, followed by a dozen soldiers. He knew at a glance that he didn't really want to marry him.

Uncle Du narrowed his eyes, and Lan Le was so angry that his eyes were red and said, "I'm making progress! You said to check again, so why not?"

"Why?" The man touched the handle of the knife at his waist with his fingers, tapped his fingers and said in a cold voice, "I suspect that you are harboring suspects, search."

The soldiers stepped forward without any hesitation and searched the boxes. Lan Xi glanced at the people around her and found that the servants all lowered their heads, and even the people around them didn't dare to make a sound. Uncle Du clenched his fists knowingly to stop No, I just stood in front of Tang Nuan's sedan chair. Tang Nuan didn't have much luggage, so it was quickly searched. Things were in a mess, even the jewelry box was opened, and someone fumbled away a lot of things.

The man rode on a horse and looked down at Tang Nuan's master and servants, and said, "Search for me carefully."

"Yes." When the soldiers heard the words, they threw out all the contents of the box, and even split the box open with a knife. Lan Xi and Lan Le gritted their teeth. When did the girl suffer such insults?

The soldier ruined everything, not even the smallest ring left in the jewelry box, so he went back and said, "If you go back to Wang Qianhu, there will be nothing left."

Wang Qianhu sneered, got off his horse and stepped on the clothes on the ground and walked to the soft sedan chair. Uncle Du reached out to stop Wang Qianhu. Lan Xi and Lan Le were even more nervous. Wang Qianhu said, "Why, could it be What is hidden in the sedan chair? I suspect that the murderer is hiding in the sedan chair."

"Really?" Tang Nuan's voice came from the sedan chair, this time without waiting for Lan Xi and Lan Le, she lifted the curtain of the soft sedan chair and came out.

On Tang Nuan's finger was a ring in the shape of a peony. The peony was carved out of rubies, and it was a bit dazzling in the sun. She was still young, her body bones had not yet grown, and she was tall and thick-legged. Wang Qianhu was extraordinarily petite in comparison, "The murderer?" Tang Nuan pointed to the messy clothes thrown on the ground, "Heh."

Wang Qianhu said sharply, "Take off the veil."

Tang Nuan did not refuse, she directly took off the veil and hat, looked at Wang Qianhu, Tang Nuan was afraid and panicked when she was on the soft sedan chair, but she was extremely calm at this time, she looked at the man and said, "Privately It’s better to take out what’s hidden in me, not everyone can use what’s built in.”

Master Yuan, who had been watching the fire from the other side, was startled when he said this. He carefully looked at the jewelry in Tang Nuan's hair, and felt that it was extraordinarily delicate, and such tricks were not something ordinary merchants would dare to do. After a few words, the yamen servant's face changed drastically, he turned around and ran into the yamen.

Seeing Tang Nuan's appearance, Wang Qianhu felt a little hesitant in his heart, but he also felt that it would be too embarrassing to let people go like this, and said, "You said it was an internal creation, is it an internal creation?"

Tang Nuan's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool, "Oh, fifth rank..." Qianhu's official position is fifth rank, but Tang Nuan's tone was full of disdain, "Fifth rank should also know, internally made There are signs on things, so let those who take my things know if they look at them."

Wang Qianhu glanced at the person next to him, and the person put his fingers in his sleeve and touched it. He stole a gold bracelet inlaid with gemstones, and he felt the words "Neizao" on the inside of the bracelet, and his face was a little ugly. Seeing this, Tang Nuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Wang Qianhu?"

"Take out the things." Wang Qianhu gritted his teeth and said.

Those people didn't dare to hide anymore, so they took out their things and put them in the jewelry box which was still in good condition. Lan Xi nodded and said, "We still need a glass hairpin, a pair of pink jade earrings and a pair of honey Wax earrings..."

Wang Qianhu glared at the people around him. This time, no one dared to hide anymore, but handed over all the things. Lan Xi then packed up the things and said, "Girl, it's all here."

"Throw it away." Tang Nuan said suddenly.

"Yes." Lan Xi took the things and handed them to Uncle Du.

Du Shu was stunned by everyone, and threw the jewelry box directly into the river. He was so strong that he could see the splash of the jewelry box. Wang Qianhu said, "That's made inside."

"So what?" Tang Nuan raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you keep things that have been touched by so many people?" He spoke with arrogance, as if what he was throwing away was not the precious jewellery, but the most ordinary jewellery. "What else is there for Wang Qianhu?"

"In the sedan chair..." Wang Qianhu thought of the news he had received when he came here, and even if he regretted offending Tang Nuan and the others, he had no other way out but went all the way to the end.

Before he finished speaking, he saw a white hand stretched out from the sedan chair. The young man disguised as a woman did not get out of the sedan chair, but lifted the curtain of the soft sedan chair. Tang Nuan glanced at Lan Le. Le hurried forward to help lift it, the young man took off the hood and looked at Wang Qianhu.

The corners of his eyes are bright red, and his facial features are as delicate as those in a painting. He has a fierce beauty. Even if his face is pale at this time, it can't hide his beauty. It makes people want to kneel down on him. Under the skirt, the young man didn't speak, just glanced at everyone, then put on the veil again, Lan Le also put down the curtain, Tang Nuan looked at Wang Qianhu and others who were obviously stunned and said, "We can go now ?"
