Chapter 9 The Ninth Episode of The Peony Building Disturbance

The shopkeeper of Peony Building is surnamed Lu. Shopkeeper Lu said: "Those two girls covered with black veils did come every night for the past three days. They ordered a table of food, but they didn't eat or drink. They had to wait until closing time before leaving, but the money they gave There are a lot of small bills, so everyone welcomes them." Bingbing said: "Who pays the bill?" Shopkeeper Lu said, "It's the young man who came with them." Bingbing asked again: "Do you know where they lived at night for the past three days?" Shopkeeper Lu said: "I heard that they rented a large courtyard in Lianyun Inn, and paid ten days' rent in advance."

Bingbing is still not at ease: "Is your news reliable?" Shopkeeper Lu smiled: "Of course it's reliable. The shopkeeper of Lianyunzhan is my brother-in-law." The shopkeeper of Lianyunzhan is surnamed Niu. Shopkeeper Niu said: "Those two girls with black veils on their faces are really strange. They don't even come out of their rooms during the day, and they even send their meals inside. When it's getting dark, Just went to the Peony Tower, and in the past three days, no one here has heard a word from them." Bingbing said: "Which room do they live in?"

Shopkeeper Niu said: "It's in the Dongkua courtyard, and they have covered the entire courtyard." Bingbing asked again: "Have they come back tonight?" Shopkeeper Niu said: "Just came back!" He scratched his head, and said: "Since they came back from the Mudan Building, they should have eaten a lot, but when they came back, they ordered a whole table of wine and food. .” Bingbing said with a smile: "The table dishes may be for us to eat." Shopkeeper Niu said: "They knew the two would come?" Bingbing said: "I don't know."

Shopkeeper Niu looked at her in surprise, he suddenly found that there were more and more strange people in this place. The room was brightly lit, and the round table covered with a red tablecloth was indeed full of wine and food. The very young and good-looking boy who stood behind like a slave just now has changed into bright and luxurious clothes, and is sitting there pouring wine. He poured three glasses of wine, then suddenly raised his head, smiled at the window, and said, "Since you two are here, why don't you come in for a drink?" Xiao Shishilang was indeed outside the window.

He also smiled and said: "I will never refuse someone to invite me to drink." The door was not bolted. There were also three chairs beside the table. Hua Ruyu greeted the guest with a smile: "Please sit down." Xiao Shishilang sat down: "Did you know we would come?" Hua Ruyu smiled and said: "I was waiting for the two masters." Xiao Shishilang stared at him like a torch: "These two seats are prepared for us?" Hua Ruyu said: "Exactly." Bingbing suddenly smiled and said: "Miss Shen and the others follow the young master, does the young master never let them sit down to eat?"

Hua Ruyu sighed and said: "I didn't prepare seats for them, just because they are no longer here." Xiao Shishilang's expression changed. He wasn't a person who often changed his face, but now his face became very scary: "Could it be that they have already left?" Hua Ruyu nodded and said, "I just left." Xiao Shishilang said: "You let them go?" Hua Ruyu smiled wryly, "I'm neither a bandit nor an official. If they want to leave, how can I keep them?" Xiao Shishilang sneered. Hua Ruyu said: "Could it be that Xiao Daxia doesn't believe my words?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "You really don't look like a bandit, but you don't look like a person, you must know this sentence." Hua Ruyu said: "Is there any reason to lie to Xiao Daxia?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Because you don't want me to see them." Hua Ruyu said: "If I don't want Daxia Xiao to see them, why do you come back here? Why do you want to wait for Daxia Xiao here?" Xiao Shishilang was speechless. Hua Ruyu sighed, and said: "I'm waiting here to explain the misunderstanding to Daxia Xiao." Xiao Shishilang said coldly: "What misunderstanding was there just now?"

Hua Ruyu said: "I have only known Miss Shen for three to five days." Xiao Shishilang said, "Oh?" Hua Ruyu said: "Miss Shen has been following the two old seniors, Ying and Liu." Xiao Shishilang moved, "Red cherry and green willow?" Hua Ruyu nodded, and said: "If Daxia Xiao doesn't believe you, you can ask them at any time. These two seniors will never lie." Xiao Shishilang said: "Why did she come here with you again?" Hua Ruyu hesitated, as if finding it difficult to speak. Xiao Shishilang said: "Don't you say?"

Hua Ruyu smiled wryly, "It's not that I refuse to say anything, it's just..." Xiao Shishilang said: "But how?" Hua Ruyu said: "It's just that I'm afraid Xiao Daxia will be unhappy if he hears it." Xiao Shishilang said: "If you don't tell me, I will be angry. When I am angry, I am always very unreasonable." Hua Ruyu hesitated for a long time, and sighed: "There are rumors in the world that Mr. Liancheng Bilian has arrived here. Miss Shen must come here with me when she hears the news." Xiao Shishilang's expression changed again.

Hua Ruyu's words are like a knife, a knife more terrifying than a deer-cutting knife. He suddenly felt his whole body was icy cold. If Shen Bijun changed for others, he would have something to say, but Lian Chengbi... Hua Ruyu sighed, seemed to have sympathy for him, forced a smile and said: "Although her person is no longer there, the wine is still there, Xiao Daxia might as well drink a few cups first, and send this long night away." Xiao Shishilang said: "Okay! I toast you three cups." Hua Ruyu raised her glass immediately and said with a smile: "It's better to obey than to be respectful, please."

Xiao Shishilang said: "This wine glass is not good." Hua Ruyu was stunned: "Why not?" Xiao Shishilang said: "This wine glass is too small." He suddenly threw a bowl of shark's fin, a bowl of meatballs, and a bowl of bird's nest duck shreds on the table, all of which were on the ground, and poured three bowls full of wine. "I respect you, you drink first." With a bitter face, Hua Ruyu looked at the three bowls of wine on the table, finally sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll drink." With a bitter face, he finally drank all three bowls of wine as if he was taking medicine. Xiao Shishilang also drank three bowls, poured another three bowls, and said: "This time you should respect me, and of course the master has to drink first." Hua Ruyu seemed taken aback: "If you drink these three bowls again, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink anymore." Xiao Shishilang stared and said, "I respect you, don't you respect me? You look down on me?" Hua Ruyu could only smile wryly, and said, "Okay, I'll give Xiao Daxia three bowls in return." He braced himself, picked up a large bowl of wine, and drank it like poison. But when he drank the second bowl, he suddenly drank it happily, and the poison seemed to have turned into sugar water. If a person is seven or eight points drunk, drinking will become like drinking water. After Xiao Shishilang drank three bowls, Hua Ruyu actually smiled and said: "Come on, let's have three more bowls, Xiao Daxia please." Xiao Shishilang stared at him, and suddenly said: "I still have two things to tell you." Hua Ruyu said: "Okay, I'll listen." Xiao Shishilang said: "First, I am neither a hero, nor will I ever be a hero. Second, if I find out that you have told me a single word of lie, I will cut off your big tongue, you understand Is it gone?" Hua Ruyu's tongue really got bigger, she nodded desperately, and said: "I understand, but I still don't understand." Xiao Shishilang said: "What don't you understand?" Hua Ruyu gasped and said: "Since she came here for Lianchengbi, she must have left for Lianchengbi now, why didn't you go to them, instead you came to me to vent your anger?" Before he could finish a sentence, his person had already fallen down. With a livid face, Xiao Shishilang suddenly wrapped the ten or so bowls of food on the table with the big red tablecloth, and said, "Since you intend to invite me, I will take what you can't finish." Hua Ruyu didn't object, his men had already fallen to the ground, drunk as mud. Xiao Shishilang laughed three times with his face up, and actually lifted the burden, and pulled Bingbing away. When they were far away, a desolate sad song suddenly came from afar in the evening wind. A person behind the curtain was sighing softly: "Such a bad guest is really rare." The door curtain was lifted, Xinxin walked out, suddenly smiled at Hua Ruyu who was on the ground, and said: "Now that the villain has left, are you still awake?" Hua Ruyu actually woke up immediately, jumped up from the ground, shook her head and said with a smile: "This man is so powerful, he really wants to get me drunk." Xinxinyan said: "It's a pity that your drinking capacity is much better than he imagined." Hua Ruyu laughed loudly and said, "I am much worse than he imagined." Xinxin said: "If you want to choose the top ten villains in the Jianghu, you must be one of them." Hua Ruyu said: "What about you?" Xinxin said: "Of course I can't run away." Hua Ruyu said: "Has Shen Bijun left?" Xinxin nodded, and said: "I have asked Bai Laosan to take her away, and I have told Bai Laosan your order." Hua Ruyu said: "Where is that lunatic woman?" Xinxin said: "I'm afraid that the madman will look for her in the back, so I have no choice but to ask her to rest under the bed first." Hua Ruyu said: "Now you can invite her out." Xin Xin said: "Then what do you ask her to do?" Hua Ruyu said: "Then invite her to take a bath and dress her up properly." Xinxin laughed again, and said: "I also heard that when a person is about to enter the coffin, he always has to dress up first." Hua Ruyu said: "I don't want her to go into the coffin yet." Xinxin straightened her face and said, "Why?" Hua Ruyu said: "Because she is still very valuable." Xinxin said: "Do you want to sell her?" Hua Ruyu said: "Yes." Xinxin's eyes lit up: "To whom?" Hua Ruyu said: "As far as I know, there is an old pervert who has been thinking about her for many years." Xinxin said: "What kind of old pervert?" Hua Ruyu smiled and said: "Of course he is a rich old pervert, and he is willing to spend money." Xinxin looked at him, giggled and said, "You are such a wicked person." Hua Ruyu said lightly: "I was originally." Xinxin smiled and said, "What are you planning, I'm afraid Xiao Shishilang can't even dream of it." Xiao Shishilang didn't think about anything. He just felt empty in his head, empty in his whole body, and walking on the road was like walking in clouds. He insisted on refusing to take a car. He said that this road seemed to have just been washed by water, and the night sky in mid-autumn also seemed to have been washed by water. To be able to walk on such a stone road under such an autumn sky is more difficult than taking eight people. The big sedan chair is still comfortable. So the carriage they came in had to go back first, so Bingbing also accompanied him. After walking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you hungry?" Bingbing shook her head. Shaking the bag in his hand, Xiao Shishilang said, "I just want to remind you that there are stewed chicken, roast pork, crystal elbow, sweet and sour fish, and a whole eight-treasure duck. Whatever you want to eat, you can find it here.” Bingbing looked at the soup-drenched burden in his hand, wanted to laugh, but couldn't. She understood his mood now, and she knew that he might not even be able to cry now. Xiao Shishilang suddenly sat down on the side of the road, looked at the starry autumn sky, lost his mind for a while, and murmured: "I should get him a jar of wine just now, it's really good to drink here." Bingbing is listening. Xiao Shishilang smiled, and said again: "In fact, no matter where you are, as long as you have wine, it's good." He didn't even look like he was smiling. This kind of laughter made others want to cry. ——Since she came here for Lian Chengbi, of course she went to find Lian Chengbi now. ——He was originally a gentle gentleman, and they were originally a loving couple. Although she was confused for a while, she finally figured it out now. ——She has finally found that he is the one worthy of her reliance. Xiao Shishilang grabbed a stewed chicken from his bundle, looked at it, and threw it over. Bingbing also sat down, looked at him quietly, and couldn't help asking: "Do you really believe what that person said?" Xiao Shishilang said: "I don't even believe a word." Bingbing said: "Since you don't believe it, why did you leave?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Do you want me to lie on the ground with him and sleep?" Bingbing said: "Why don't you go to the back to look for it?" Xiao Shishilang said: "I can't find it even if I look for it." Bingbing said: "You haven't looked for it yet, how do you know you can't find it?" Xiao Shishilang said: "If people like him don't want me to see them, how can I find them?" Bingbing said: "You can see that he is a very cunning person?" Xiao Shishilang nodded and said, "When I first saw him, I thought of someone." Bingbing said: "Who?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Young master, that young master is a hundred times more poisonous than a poisonous snake." As long as the young master is mentioned, he seems to be unable to resist the cold war. Bingbing said: "Of course that person is not the young master." Xiao Shishilang shook his head and said, "He's a man." But the young master is a woman, a woman who looks like a little pigeon, but is actually a corpse hawk. Until now, when Shen Bijun had nightmares, he would often dream of her, even though she was already dead, and died under the sword in Lian Chengbi's sleeve. Xiao Shishilang said: "Although that man looks sissy, he is a genuine man." Bingbing said: "Are you sure?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Whether he is a woman disguised as a man or a man disguised as a woman, I have a way to test whether he is a man or a woman." Bingbing said: "Oh?" Xiao Shishilang said with a smile: "This method of mine is also a unique secret recipe. It works every time, and it has never failed once." Bingbing couldn't help asking: "What is the method?" Xiao Shishilang said, "Touch him." Bing Bing blushed. Xiao Shishilang said: "I touched him just now when you were not paying attention." Bingbing blushed and said: "I think you must be drunk too." Xiao Shishilang stared and said, "Who said I was drunk, I'm as sober as an owl now." Bingbing said: "When you are not drunk, you are not so bad." Xiao Shishilang stared at her, then suddenly showed his teeth and smiled, "You really think I'm a good person?" Bingbing sighed softly, and said softly: "No matter what others think of you, only I know that you are..." Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard the sound of wheels and horseshoes. A large black painted car sped past on the road in front of them. Bingbing lost her voice and said: "This is the carriage of that person just now." Xiao Shishilang said, "Oh?" Bingbing said: "It's midnight, they are in such a hurry to drive, what are they going to do?" Xiao Shishilang said: "Maybe there is no one in the car." Bingbing said: "There is someone." Xiao Shishilang said: "Did you see it?" Bing Bing said: "I only need to look at the sand and dust behind the wheels to know if there is someone in the car." Xiao Shishilang smiled wryly: "It seems that your eyes are stronger than the thief Xiao Shishilang." Bingbing finally smiled and said, "At least better than a drunk thief Xiao Shishilang." Xiao Shishilang said: "Let's catch up and see, shall we? See what kind of tricks that kid is playing?" But at this time the carriage had already disappeared into the darkness, and even the sound had gradually disappeared. Xiao Shishilang jumped up and sat down again. ——So what if you catch up?So what if you see it? ——Didn't she clearly reject me in the Peony Tower just now? Xiao Shishilang fished out another eight-treasure duck from his bag, and ate it desperately. Eating can indeed stabilize a person's mood sometimes. But Bingbing was deep in thought, and said slowly: "He must not have seen us, he must think we have already left by car." Xiao Shishilang's mouth was full of eight treasure ducks. He used to like to eat eight-treasure duck, but now he felt that his mouth was stuffed, as if it was all wood. Bingbing said: "The driver who drove the car just now is not the same one." Why should she pay attention to this kind of thing? Bingbing said again: "Although there are people in the car, it seems that there is only one person." Xiao Shishilang began to feel a little strange: "Why is there only one person?" Bingbing was also wondering, and suddenly said: "Let's go back to Lianyun Inn to have a look, okay?" Of course good. Xiao Shishilang would never refuse what she said. The lights have not been turned off, but the people have left. The room was empty, there was no one in the hall, and there was no one in the room. Not only was there no one, there was no luggage. Xiao Shishilang said: "They have all left." Bingbing said: "But there is only one person in the car." Xiao Shishilang said: "Maybe they didn't go all the way." Bingbing said: "Since we came all the way, why not go all the way?" Xiao Shishilang rolled his eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Could it be that they knew we were back and hid under the bed?" He suddenly jumped over and raised the rosewood wooden bed with one hand. Under the bed was of course empty, where was there anything but dust? Xiao Shishilang didn't really want to find anything under the bed, he just felt that he had no place to vent his strength. But Bingbing saw something, something similar in color to dust. She went to pick it up, only to realize that it was just a very old ebony hairpin used by women. No one would be interested in such an ebony hairpin. She was about to throw it under the bed again, but Xiao Shishilang suddenly snatched it away, and after only one glance, his expression changed. ——Xiao Shishilang is not a person who changes color all the time. Bingbing couldn't help but said: "Have you seen this ebony hairpin?" Xiao Shishilang said, "Yes." Bingbing said: "Where did you see it?" Xiao Shishilang said: "On a person's hair." Bingbing said: "Whose hair is it on? Miss Shen?" Xiao Shishilang shook his head, sighed and said, "You will never guess who this person is." Bingbing rolled her eyes and said, "Could it be Feng Siniang?" Xiao Shishilang sighed again, and said, "You guessed it." Bingbing was moved and said: "That woman who has to be supported even to walk, could it be Feng Siniang?" Xiao Shishilang seemed to have not thought of this until now, and immediately jumped up, saying: "It must be her, she must have been here just now." Although this ebony hairpin is very old, it has always been Feng Siniang's most cherished thing. Because it was given to her by Xiao Shishilang. "Her jewelry, although I don't know how many, has been using this ebony hairpin all the time. If she hadn't been restrained and couldn't even move, she would never let it fall here." "Since this ebony hairpin is under the bed, could it be that her person was also under the bed just now?" "It must have been hidden under the bed when we arrived just now." "But only one person can hide under the bed." "There was only one person in the car." "Where did their people go?" Xiao Shishilang said bitterly: "No matter what, as long as we find that kid, we can always ask him." Bingbing said: "As long as we find that carriage, we can find that person." Xiao Shishilang said, "We'll look for it now." He finally dropped the burden in his hand, and suddenly found a person staring at the door, stunned. The shopkeeper Niu just walked in, and was staring at the fish all over the floor in a daze, his eyes straightened. Xiao Shishilang had no choice but to smile at him, and said, "We are all very frugal people, and we always take away the dishes we can't finish." Shopkeeper Niu also forced a smile. He brought his buddies to clean up the house and pick up some things, but somehow he left a few times and came back two more. Xiao Shishilang really didn't want to see the expression on his face anymore, so he pulled Bingbing away. Shopkeeper Niu suddenly asked: "Are you two going to wrap up these vegetables on the ground again and send them to the opposite side?" Xiao Shishilang's footsteps stopped immediately, and Bingbing also turned his head: "The opposite? Where is the opposite?" "Don't you two know? The two girls have moved to the opposite courtyard?" Xiao Shishilang's eyes lit up, he suddenly patted Shopkeeper Niu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are a good man, I like you, I will give you all these dishes to take home for supper, you mustn't be polite. " Shopkeeper Niu looked at the huge pile of muddy vegetables on the ground, and was stunned for a long time, with a dumbfounding expression on his face. When he raised his head again, the person was gone. A clerk just came in and was about to clean up the house, but shopkeeper Niu suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "These dishes are all for you to take home for supper, you mustn't be polite."
