Da Suining

Chapter 144 What a Long Snake
The situation is critical.

It's not that the onlookers didn't miss Lan Tui's effort.

That's someone I can't afford to mess with.

One step later, or if Lan Tui's hands trembled, it was hard to say whether the heads of these guys would still grow on their shoulders.

After all, his knife is hard and long, with white flowers shining coldly.

Rainbow couldn't believe her eyes, and couldn't believe that Xiang Suining was beside her.

She was a little ashamed, lowered her head and murmured: "Second girl, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. The second girl went to tell me that I don't come to the downtown area, and I usually remember it. But... today is August Fifteen, family reunion, children want to come and join in the fun, I think children are usually very pitiful, now it is night, we will go back after watching the lanterns, probably won't cause any trouble..."

The man on the ground didn't get up for a long time.

Xiang Suining helped Rainbow get up, and went forward to give Lan Fai a blessing.

Lan Fai was deeply surprised, and there was a look of surprise on his face, but the surprise quickly passed by.

"I don't know... what happened?" Xiang Suining asked him.

"As long as you're fine." Lan Tui put away the long knife, put the long knife into the sheath, and made a "wow".

"On the long street just now, I heard someone calling for help. Later, a maid in the Xiang's mansion said that these people robbed Xiang's girl's hairpin...do you still have your hairpin?"

"No one snatched our girl's hairpin." Mingzhu explained: "Three girls are sitting in Xiang's carriage."

"That's how it is." Lan Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

For the inspection tour on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, he couldn't even attend the banquet at Shangji Hall.

When passing by here, I heard the common people discussing that a girl was robbed, and that the carriage lantern had the word "Xiang" on it.

He knew that Prime Minister Suining was going to enter the palace tonight, and at this time, the banquet in Shangji Hall was over, and it happened to be the time for a night tour to watch the lanterns.

He thought that Xiang Suining had been robbed.

So regardless of Sanqi 21, he caught up with these people and got entangled with them.

As soon as they were subdued, someone came to intercede.

When Rainbow spoke, Lan Fa had already recognized her.

It was the woman who begged with her child last time.

"Rainbow, ask your man if he robbed anything." Xiang Suining confessed to Rainbow.

Rainbow nodded, knelt down and shook her man's arm, and said, "We've all come to this point, do you still want to make trouble? Now it's Miss Xiang who's been kind to us, don't you Don't hide anything, have you robbed someone else's things?"

As soon as Lan Tui loosened his hand, the man twisted and sat up. He spat out the dust in his mouth, stuck his neck and said: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to them. Anyway, I can't beat him."

"Why do you say such things? It was so hard to survive. In front of Miss Xiang, are you still angry? You only need to answer honestly, otherwise I will not obey."

The man lowered his head and sighed.

One of the men was a little thinner, and his mouth was still soft: "Girl, son, don't get me wrong. Although we are poor and dressed in shabby clothes, we have never robbed others. It's because we are watching the lanterns." At that time, I saw the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion parked by the roadside, and the girl in the carriage was embarrassing a woman and several children, bullying orphans and widowed mothers, so we couldn't see it, so we rushed up to reason with the girl."

"The result?" Xiang Suining asked.

"In the end, did the girl just say that we, a group of beggars, are worthy of others? Seeing her bullying that woman, we were so angry that we said a few unpleasant things, but before we met the girl, she pulled out her head." The hairpins in our hair were stuffed into our hands, saying that we robbed her, that we were thieves, and told the people to chase and beat us."

Another man added: "When the common people saw us in a mess and surrounded the Xiangjia's carriage, they really treated us like thieves, throwing bananas, kettles, and mooncakes and eggs at us. My head hurts." There are still two bags left."

"She put the hairpin in your hands, where is the hairpin now?"

"The girl may not believe it. We put the hairpin on the car. The girl must have seen it, but she just asked us to grab her hairpin. No way, no one believes us, even this young man—" the man cautiously Looking at Lan Fai carefully, she felt that Lan Fai was unfathomable, and she was not someone they could provoke, and her voice became quieter, with helplessness and grief: "Although we are poor, we also have integrity. We really didn't rob her." hairpin."

"They snatched it, I saw it." At some point, Chunyu moved over on tiptoe.

Maybe it was because of the pain in her feet, she pouted her buttocks as she walked, and twisted her body on the ground like a snake.

Has she stood in the corner for half an hour?

time flies.

Perhaps it was due to the sequelae of standing in the corner, and her walking posture was very strange.

There is nowhere without her.

Compared with Chunyu's words, Xiang Suining would rather believe those men he had never met before.

"They just robbed the third girl's hairpin. The hairpin was rewarded by the emperor. If they dare to snatch something from the emperor, they will die." Chunyu may have stood up to the rules and felt angry and had nowhere to vent, or , she is very supportive of her master Xiangyan. When she said these words, she clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, as if the hatred in her heart would not be resolved if these people were not punished on the spot: "Why did Lord Xiaolan let them go? Could it be Qingcheng?" Are there no rules? Master Xiaolan should escort them to the official."

"Lord Xiaolan is not a servant of the Xiang family, nor is he under your command." Xiang Suining interrupted Chunyu: "Chunyu, you seem to have forgotten your identity again."

"But the second girl, the third girl's hairpin was really robbed by these people. Maybe it's still on them. Otherwise, start searching now. After a while, they will transfer the stolen goods, but they won't be able to find them."

"Why don't you do a body search?"

"That's a good idea." Chunyu was gearing up, facing a few young men, although they were poorer, and one of them seemed to be malnourished, but they were men anyway, and they were still alive.

I have to go up and touch a few.

Gotta go up and check if the stolen goods are still there.

Chunyu stepped forward on tiptoe.

This seems to be a bit embarrassing to the servant girl of Xiang's family.

Mingzhu couldn't bear to look directly: "Chunyu, men and women are different."

"I just want to search to see if the hairpin is on them."

"Chunyu, I'll take you to search for the hairpin. If you can find it, I'll give you two taels of silver." Xiang Suining encouraged her.

Chunyu obviously became interested, two taels of silver, how long is that her monthly money, she immediately stated: "Second Miss, tell me, I will just search for whoever I want."

Xiang Suining moved to the east, exited the alley, and came to the gate of the blacksmith shop. Xiang's carriage was still parked there, and Xiang Yan sat in the carriage with a sullen face, arms folded, watching the movement.

"Search for someone, I'm ready." Chunyu rolled up his clothes, rolled up his sleeves to his arms, and showed his white wrists very neatly.

"Search the people in the carriage to see if the hairpin is on her." Xiang Suining pointed to the carriage.

Because the car curtain was hanging, I couldn't see the situation in the car clearly.

Chunyu seemed to be standing in the corner and her mind was stunned, and she didn't realize that Xiangyan was sitting in the car for a moment.

She stepped on the carriage without even stepping on the footstool, opened the curtain and said, "I'll convince them when I find the hairpin."

"Crack." A crisp sound.

The moment Chunyu's hand touched Xiangyan's thigh, Xiangyan raised her hand and gave her a crisp, extremely crisp ear scrape.

This slap was extremely powerful.

It seemed that there was a gust of wind blowing out of the carriage, which directly threw Chunyu backwards. If it wasn't for the support of the boy driving the carriage, she would have been able to fly three feet away, and she could not be peeled off when she stuck to the wall behind.

"What's the matter with my sister?" The boy was also puzzled: "Why does my sister dare to touch the third girl? What a taboo it must be."

Chunyu was stunned by that slap.

It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, shook her head, regained consciousness, and quickly crawled up to fix Xiangyan's clothes: "Third Miss, it's all the servant's fault, the servant is probably drunk."

"Have you been drinking?" Xiang Yan asked with a dark face.

Chunyu slapped herself: "No matter how you speak, it's not decent. When did you drink? The little hoof talks nonsense." Then rubbed Xiangyan's feet and said, "It's all the servant's fault. It's the servant's confusion. Just now the second girl... the second girl punished the servant girl to stand in the corner, the servant girl stood dizzy, so... the third girl, the servant girl is loyal to you, and never dared to offend the third girl, the servant girl stood in the corner, thinking about the third girl... ...But the servant did not dare to disobey the second girl's order, and the servant searched her body because she wanted...to search out the third girl's hairpin as soon as possible..."

It turned out to be the case.

Weidao didn't see Chunyu for a long time, so it turned out that he was punished by Xiang Suining.

She is Xiangyan's servant, she is the one who beats and punishes her, why does Xiang Suining need to do it?

To bully her slaves is to bully her.

Across the car curtain, Xiangyan was as cold as ice.

Xiang Suining spoke first: "I heard you lost your hairpin."

"It's lost."

"Maybe it's dark and I misread it. Look carefully, in case it falls on the car."

"I said lose it, so I lost it." Xiangyan crossed her arms and looked at the crowd coldly, and soon she saw Rainbow's husband and a few refugees standing behind Xiang Suining, seemingly safe and sound.

Xiangyan's chest heaved violently: "It's not that I lost my hairpin, it was snatched by these people. I want to report to the authorities."

"Think about it, report a false case, there are laws in Qingcheng, Zhangwu."

"It was just a few of them who robbed it, so it can't be wrong." Xiang Yan didn't change her face.

The onlookers gradually gathered again.

The door of the blacksmith shop is now blocked.

Perhaps it was because someone was watching the excitement, Xiangyan put away her temper, frowned instead, and twitched the corners of her mouth, pretending to be very aggrieved and helpless.

Her eyebrows and eyes were timid, like a frightened fledgling bird.

As she spoke, her tears slid down to the corner of her mouth like broken beads.

The tear on the corner of her mouth is really distressing. The cinnabar mole on her neck is mixed with tears, exuding a seductive beauty that makes people unable to move their eyes away.

"I heard that Xiang's daughter is one of the most beauties in Qingcheng. Seeing her today, she lives up to her reputation. She is really shy and gentle."

"If you're not mistaken, the person sitting in the carriage is the third daughter of the Xiang family, the concubine, and the second-class one who talks to her is the daughter of the Xiang family. Alas, the daughter of the Xiang family doesn't seem to like this Sister, I would rather speak for outsiders, the third girl is a weak woman, she was robbed of her hairpin, and she still has to be questioned like this, it's really pitiful."

People's livelihood is in turmoil.

"Sister, don't you believe what I say? Why do you help outsiders to bully me? Why?" Xiang Yan lowered her head to wipe her tears in grievance.

She looks so beautiful with her head down and tears.

At this time, apart from a palace flower in her hair, there is indeed no amber hairpin.

But based on his understanding of Rainbow, Xiang Suining believed that she would not lie.

If these refugees have a bad nature and will do murder, fire prevention, and robbery, why would they wait until now to act?
When she first met Rainbow, she was a weak woman with a small child in her arms, begging under the scorching sun, just for a bite to eat.

As long as the men have some income, Rainbow will not risk his life for a bite, and take the children with him.

Those days of hiding in Tibet are over, so why would they snatch Xiangyan's hairpin without warning?

But Xiangyan insisted that they robbed the hairpin, and if Xiangyan reported it to the officials, that foolish lord, Mr. Zhou, might reward these refugees for Xiang Daying's sake.

The key point is that once the identities of the refugees are exposed, they may be thrown into prison cells or thrown out of the city. What awaits them is life and death.

The only way to prove their innocence is to find the hairpin.

"Actually... I didn't know until the emperor ordered me to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation today that the amber hairpin was given to me by the emperor." Xiang Suining spoke earnestly, hoping that Xiangyan would hold her dear.

Apparently Xiangyan didn't like this: "No matter who the emperor rewards, they rob it, even if they rob it, even if they send it to the yamen, they have to hand it over."

"We didn't grab it, so what will we pay for it?" A man blushed and argued.

Rainbow had already knelt down, supported the carriage and cried: "Girl, please forgive them, they really didn't snatch the girl's hairpin."

"Isn't it very stubborn? I was so scared when I supported the orphans and widows just now. Didn't you say you were going to cut my neck?" Xiangyan snorted coldly, with a smile on her face. Although her voice was small, it contained disdain : "Why don't you dare to admit that you have robbed something? Do you want a woman to come out and intercede for you?"

"Xiangyan, do you really care about the hairpin?" Xiang Suining asked her.

"If you don't hand over the hairpin, I will never end with them."

"Very good." Xiang Suining turned his head away: "It's getting late, you can sit in the car and spend your time. I have to go back to the mansion. Grandma is still waiting for me in the mansion."

After walking a few steps, Xiang Suining squatted down, turned around sharply, and got into the carriage in three steps at a time, shouting: "What a long snake, bright pearl, what a long snake, hit the snake quickly... Oops, the snake ran into the car...the snake is on my feet...it's going to bite...take the...dude...hit..."

Mingzhu understood, stretched out her arms and scratched, yelling: "Miss is not good, the snake crawled on your leg... Wait for the slaves to be driven away by the girl, girl, don't be afraid..."

As Mingzhu said, she danced wildly in the carriage. While dancing, she deliberately touched Xiangyan's body, but she didn't touch anything.
