Chapter 8

"This is Uncle Yu. I grew up eating his wontons as a child, and I know him well." Querong introduced, seeing how he looked at Uncle Yu, afraid that he might be suspicious, Querong spoke up first, "This way On the way back, I happened to meet Uncle Yu, who would come to Yizhuang to see his son every time he bought back the night stall."

Xue He bowed and bowed to show respect.

Uncle Yu nodded his head to express his goodwill, and didn't say a word to him.

He glanced at Que Rong, and said in a deep and hoarse voice, "There was a murder case in the city, what is the young master doing out so late? If you found something, you should go back quickly. This piece of land, how about It's so peaceful."

"I haven't found what I want, so I feel uneasy." Querong nodded in response, and helped to clean it up. "It's inconvenient for the old man to travel at night, so he should go back earlier."

Xue He just vaguely felt strange that this body was obviously dead, but this person had known Xiao Langjun for many years.

Could it be that someone used this to murder Mr. Xiao Lang?

Xue He understood and didn't ask any more questions, and responded: "The deceased is gone, my condolences."

"Hey." Uncle Yu sighed, pretending to wipe the corners of his eyes, "Thank you young master, I won't bother the young masters anymore, just go in and have a look before leaving."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Yu glanced at Xue He, then at Que Rong intently, and left.

At this time, Chen Jialin still looked at Xue He with some scruples, seeing Uncle Yu walking away, he hid behind Querong in a blink of an eye, trembling, with a timid face.

Que Rong raised Bingjiao in his hand, stared blankly at Xue He for a few times, and then slowly recovered, "It's late at night, I'm going back first."

Xue He suddenly pulled him back, "Where is the thing that Mr. Xiao Lang is looking for?"

Querong held the flower in her hand tightly, without changing expression, said: "It's just a small tassel, not worth much money. I can't find it in the dark, or it fell on the road. Nangong is still waiting for me, I have to go now."

"Okay." Xue He replied simply.

The two were sneaking around, Uncle Yu hurried to leave after seeing him, Xue He couldn't see anything tricky at once.Seeing that Querong was unscathed, he was probably relieved.

This Uncle Yu is really suspicious, did he meet by such a coincidence?I'm afraid that people from the demon clan deliberately approached Mr. Xiaolang in order to take the lives of mortals in recent days.

The people of the demon clan are best at transforming into human form.

After walking back for a few steps, Querong noticed a "big tail" behind her, and stared back, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Xue?"

Chen Jialin also stopped, and everyone looked at Xue He.

Xue He waved his hands and arched with a smile: "It's nothing, nothing! Please go slowly, Mr. Xiaolang."

If he met this young man, Xue He would have too many worries.Worried about the danger on this road, worried about Chen Jialin's danger to him, and worried about Uncle Yu turning back and murdering him.

This person is defensive by nature, but not against acquaintances, it is really dangerous everywhere.

"En." Querong looked at her head, lowered her head and took two steps forward, the people behind her followed closely.He turned his head again, "If Mr. Xue has something to do, you might as well speak up."

"No." Xue He smiled playfully, pointing to the road in front of him, "My mansion is also in the same way, and I will take care of each other with Mr. Xiaolang, right?"

"Okay." Querong ignored it and just returned with Bingjiao in her arms.

There is no one on the road at night, the sky is full of moon and stars, and candles are dimly lit all around. They come all the way, stepping on the stone path under their feet, and the sky is dark in an instant.

Walking on the way back for a while, Chen Jialin, who had been following Querrong, looked increasingly ugly, and every step was like walking on pins and needles.

Xue He looked at him, and Chen Jialin said: "There is a strange smell here, the smell of blood is very heavy."

Bloody smell?

Xue He sniffed it seriously, but couldn't find any smell.

But at this moment, Mr. Xiao Lang stopped suddenly, looked back and forth, with a strange expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Querong said: "I made an appointment with Nangong here, but this time he has disappeared."

"Are you sure it's here?" Xue Yan pursed his lips, "There's nowhere to hide around here!"

Before Xue Yan finished speaking, Querong frowned slightly.

Xue He also had an ugly look on his face, and he didn't forget to give him a glare.Xue Yan obediently covered his mouth again.

Xue He looked around, but couldn't detect any movement, obviously the person had already left.

Chen Jialin said that there was a bloody smell here, could it be that Nangong Qu was killed?But why didn't he find anything?

Knowing Xiao Langjun's concerns, Xue He didn't dare to continue to be suspicious, and could only comfort him: "Yecheng is so big, and he is the son of a county magistrate, who here dares to touch him? Maybe Ye Liang returned first. Why don't you go back and have a look."

Knowing that Nangong Qu would not be so disrespectful, but Querong had nothing to do in front of Xue He right now, so he could only agree to him, "That's fine."

Xue He stepped forward and joined him, "Before entering Yizhuang just now, I saw your hands trembling slightly, but were you afraid?"

Surprised, Querong didn't expect him to mention this.

I am afraid that I am afraid, but I am afraid of disasters in the world.

"Seeing the dead, there is no ordinary person who is not afraid." Querong stamped his feet, "I grew up in Yecheng, and I am not as knowledgeable as Mr. Xue. Let Mr. Xue see a joke."

"It's not a joke." Looking back, Xue He's frivolous face showed some warmth, and he couldn't help whispering, "I think it's very cute."

When Querong heard the words, she pretended not to hear, and kept walking forward with her head buried.

Chen Jialin, who followed closely, tilted his head and recovered a lot after squatting on the ground for a while.

He didn't understand why Querrong walked so fast again, so he had to follow immediately.

Xue He, who smiled and said nothing, looked like a wolf with a big tail, happily behind him, just kept silent, and accompanied Xue Yan all the way.

Xue He followed his little man closely along the road, not knowing what he was planning in his heart, but the smile on his face never faded, and he kept sending him to Huazhai.

It was night, something happened to Hua Zhai.

As soon as they got to the vicinity, everyone saw people on three floors inside and outside Huazhai's house, each holding a torch, wearing plain blue clothes, and the room was also brightly lit with candles.

On the inner floor and the outer floor, there are seven, seven, eight or eight people in official uniforms.

"Who are these people?" Xue Yan stood at the end and asked in bewilderment, just as he was about to step forward.

Que Rong stopped Xue Yan and said seriously, "It's the servants and servants of the Chen family."

Two yamen servants in the back row came towards this side holding torches.

"Hush, someone is coming." Xue He glanced twice, then turned sideways, embraced Qurong in his arms, and pulled Xue Yan by the way, and the three of them dodged under the wall on the other side.

When Chen Jialin saw the two hugging each other, he covered his eyes and hid to the side.

Everyone shut their mouths and remained silent. Only after listening to the sparse sound of water did they realize that the two of them were just here to relieve themselves.

·

"Although I am dedicated to working hard, I was slacking off and sleeping soundly, so I was called over." The two yamen servants stood in the corner, and one of them spat on the ground, but he still didn't feel angry, "It's really bad luck."

"That's right, I slept soundly in the little girl's bed at night, and I was called over in such a hurry to do such a stupid thing!"

"I can't help it. Master Chen opened his mouth. Why don't our county magistrate hurry up and curry favor?"

"Hey! Are you not on duty? What's the matter? Why do you gather so many people at such a big night?"

"I heard from the servants of Chen's mansion that the flowers next to Young Master Chen's body were originally taken back by Mr. Chen, but now they are lost again! Now Mr. Chen insists that they are in Huazhai. No, search now Once, it will be sealed later."

"Hey! Why don't I understand, our county magistrate turned a blind eye and let Mr. Que and that man go. Why are these two people so courageous to run to Chen's mansion to steal flowers?"

"I can't say that. Anyway, the flowers are lost now! What is the relationship between Mr. Que and the Nangong family? You can't really catch people, but you can't let them go too much on the surface. If you see them, you still have to take them back. Trial, question, and close."

"It seems that Mr. Chen has come out. Come on, let's go back. If we are caught and sued, our county magistrate's virtue will have to deduct this month's salary again."

"He is really worthy of his name, no wonder he is called Nangong Cai."

"Don't skimp on us, where did he get so much money? Clean up your pants and crotch, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and finish the tossing, the two brothers go to the tavern to have a warm cup, and also go to get rid of this bad luck."

·

These words are whispering just beside the ears.

After the two left, Xue Que and Xue Que looked at each other, Que Rong looked at Xue He, and hugged the flower tightly in his hand, hesitant to speak.

The room was brightly lit, and there was indeed movement inside.

The following servants scattered from the house holding torches, and stood on both sides of the house.After a while, a Huaguan elder walked out of the flower house, holding a small wooden basin in his hand, and the flowers in the basin were delicate and beautiful.

Seeing someone appear, Xue He frowned slightly at first.Although this person is not near the end of his life, he has evil spirits on his forehead. He has obviously dealt with some evil spirits and crooked ways.

"Father?" Chen Jialin was lost in thought as he stared not far away.

Xue He glanced at him, then turned to Que Rong, "Is he Chen Yi?"

"It's him." The tightly held flower took a little more force from Querong's hand, and Querong couldn't believe it, "What he's holding in his hand is Bingjiaohua."

"Oh?" Xue He turned around.

Sparrow Banyan whispered again: "There should be no second branch of this flower within a hundred miles, there is something strange about this."

Chen Jialin didn't care about whether the flowers were in bloom or not, and was full of worries, "Why is Daddy here?"

Xue Yan looked at him sympathetically, but covered his mouth tightly, only seeing him muttering to himself.

Chen Yi didn't notice the strange phenomenon here, he moved out from the inner room of Huazhai, and after everyone withdrew, the yamen servants came up to stick the seals one after another.

Seeing this, Querong wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Xue He.

With a cool breeze blowing, Xue He opened his mouth first, "You can't go back to Huazhai. But the county magistrate will not dare to touch the old man's house, why don't you go back with me and avoid it?"

Although Xue He's residence is now under his name, it is the ancestral house of Mr. Ping after all.Mr. Ping is from the capital now, and it is too late for Nangong Cai to flatter him, so how dare he offend others indiscriminately.

Querong thought carefully, why did Chen Yi bring someone to look for them just after they brought the flowers back?The disappearance of Nangong Qu may have something to do with him?

This man is evil, he must be weird.

After thinking over and over again, Querong hesitated to reply, Xue He thought he was unwilling, looked at him eagerly, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? You are not willing?"

"No." How could Querong bear Xue He's pitiful and wronged look, and shook her head again and again, "I just think there are many doubts about this matter."

Seeing that he agreed, Xue He almost raised his little tail, and said with a bright smile: "Follow me and go back first, we will negotiate together."
