As the attendant spoke, he drew out his sword with a flash, and the cold light from the sword reflected on Chang Ning's face.
Chang Ning quickly shrank his neck, and Li Qingyi also pretended to be scared. He was so frightened that he backed away and asked what was going on.
Chang Ning said: "Just now I was in a hurry to go downstairs and bumped him. He sprained his foot. I told him to take him to the hospital but he didn't go..."
Li Qingyi frowned and said, "You will cause trouble for me, okay, okay, just give them a room, and you can squat outside the door all night!"
Chang Ning frowned and said to the store owner: "Shopkeeper, I'll go upstairs to pack my things. Let's give the room to these guys!"
The shopkeeper didn't want anyone to cause trouble, so he quickly agreed.
The attendant breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, hurriedly sheathed his sword and helped Lin go upstairs.
Li Qingyi glanced at the people around Lin one by one, and he saw the girl dressed as a maid at a glance.
The girl took advantage of Lin to go upstairs and looked back at her.
At this glance, both parties confirmed each other's identity.
The two grew up together and knew what the other meant with just one glance.
Perhaps Mrs. Lin was afraid that Li Miaoran would not cooperate and leak clues, so she did not let her dress up as a man, but only changed her appearance.
In order to prevent Lin from finding out, the two did not communicate too much.
After they went upstairs, Li Qingyi and Changning looked at each other and walked out slowly.
Changning asked: "When shall we return to the inn?"
Li Qingyi said: "Don't worry, since Changlan is here, we don't have to worry about them disappearing. If we go back as soon as we come out, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Let's go shopping on the street."
Just now, Chang Lan chased the woman from the Xi tribe who was pretending to be an officer and soldier and left. Unexpectedly, the woman turned around and returned to the inn, climbed in from the backyard, and
Jumped up to a room on the second floor.
Chang Lan thought to himself, okay, it turned out that she was staying in an inn with them.
The woman changed her clothes in the room, then went downstairs and exited the room to join Lin at the dock.
Chang Lan chased them all the way and happened to hear them discussing how to go. Since there was no boat, Lin could only go back to the inn to discuss changing to a carriage. She quickly recruited a secret guard to report the news to Li Qingyi.
After Li Qingyi received the news, he took Changning back to the inn.
After that, the scene just happened.
Li Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Miaoran was unharmed.
She rushed to Chongnan in a hurry, but she didn't expect that Lin lived next door to her. It really took no effort at all.
Now things have become much simpler, they are trying to trap people and arrest them.
"I don't know how many people Lin has brought with him, and whether there are any who haven't shown up."
Chang Lan said: "My servant has asked the secret guards to pay attention to the movements in the city, and also sent someone to send a message to the Lord, asking him to send more reinforcements."
Li Qingyi nodded, feeling a little guilty. Qin Zeng didn't know how to scold her yet!
The waterway was impassable, and many passers-by were blocked in the city. The inns, restaurants and tea shops were several times more lively than usual. Not to mention the hustle and bustle of the stall vendors. I didn’t expect that I could still make a small fortune despite the Chinese New Year and the holidays.
Li Qingyi led Chang Ning forward slowly, took out a plum and stuffed it into his mouth. The taste usually gave people a sour taste, but now it tasted good and made him feel comfortable all over.
Chang Ning saw someone selling candied haws on a stick and bought three bunches. The other bunch was for Chang Lan.
But Li Qingyi was pregnant and could not eat more hawthorns. After tasting one, he gave it to Chang Ning. Go and see one yourself
A woman's stall.
There were many children's silk flower toys, tiger-head shoes and the like on the stall.
She was probably really pregnant and her maternal instincts were overflowing, so she was very interested and looked at it over and over for a long time. I'm hesitant to buy some to take with me. But she wasn't traveling for sightseeing, so bringing these things would inevitably be cumbersome.
Chang Ning was eating candied haws on the side and looking at the things in Li Qingyi's hands. These things were not worthy of her young master. There were many more exquisite things in the capital than this.
But since Li Qingyi is interested, she
She just wanted to accompany her. She was really bored, so she talked to the stall owner's daughter, "Little girl, are you accompanying this mother to sell things? Isn't it cold?"
Seeing that it was already winter, the little girl was only four or five years old and didn't have much to wear.
The little girl was timid, but she still answered, "Daddy is injured and needs to make money for medical treatment. I'm here to help mother and earn enough money for medical treatment as soon as possible."
These words were so sad that Chang Ning couldn't even eat the candied haws, so he handed Chang Lan his share.
The little girl didn't dare to reach out and take it, and raised her head to look at her mother.
Her mother thanked her profusely, and the little girl smiled happily and said that she could just take two pills and share the rest with her parents and younger brother.
Seeing that she was so sensible, Li Qingyi's maternal love became more and more intense, so he asked the little girl what disease her father had.
When the woman thought about the situation at home, she couldn't help wiping her tears and said, "The imperial court requisitioned ships to transport grain and grass, and hired a lot of coolies to do work and move things. Her father's leg was accidentally broken..."
Chang Ning asked: "The grain and cotton-padded clothes are not going to be smashed so hard, right?"
"Her father in my family said that the contents of the sacks were not grain, let alone cotton-padded clothes.
. "
Li Qingyi frowned, "What is that?"
"I don't know..." the woman shook her head, "Our boss refused to say anything and didn't let me ask, but I saw that his body was covered in bruises. He must have bumped into it from time to time."
Li Qingyi became even more confused, feeling that something was not right here.
This is the third time that the imperial court has transported grain and grass supplies. If something goes wrong again, Dajing will not only suffer defeat this time.
But if the Chongnan people were causing trouble, and Lin was the sister of the female Imperial Preceptor, why couldn't they find a boat to get on their way?
Eighty percent of the time, there was someone inside Dajing who was causing trouble and lining his own pockets?
The woman cried and said, "Well, I won't let him go, but he insists that the salary is high. If I make more money now, it won't be so tight this year. Let's do some New Year's shopping at the end of the year... …who knows……"
The leader fell like this, and life became increasingly difficult.
Li Qingyi thought for a moment and signaled Chang Ning to give her two taels of silver, "I bought these things, but you have to help me go home and ask what's in the sack your man was wearing."
The woman was stunned, not knowing why she wanted to know this.
Chang Ning said: "My young master has a bad temper. If you take the money and do nothing, you have to think about the consequences."
The woman quickly said: "I know! I'll go back and ask the boss right now!"
Hearing this, Li Qingyi took out another two taels of silver from Chang Ning's purse and said, "Hire a car and go back quickly. I'll wait for you at the Changtong Inn in front. By then, these two taels of silver will also be yours." However, you need to ask the matter clearly, and you can’t deceive me or make it public.”
"Yes, yes, I know
white! "
