She put away the small white porcelain jar and checked it again inside and out, but found nothing else. Mrs. Shen loves cleanliness very much, even if people leave, the house is clean, even some corners and nooks are spotless.

But I don't know how she recognizes Uncle Beg, and how does she become close friends? It's really baffling.

This summer, he rode his horse back to the city. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by two Jinyi guards. She recognized that these two were Gao Qing's subordinates. In terms of rank, they were almost higher than her little catcher, so she turned over and dismounted.

"Yuan Zhukuai, please come with us to see an adult." The two of them were quite polite, not putting on airs in front of her.

This summer was stunned: "Who do you see?"

"You don't have to ask, just go and find out."

The two of them got on their horses, led her all the way to the ferry port outside the city, and immediately sent the horses and boarded a small boat. The boatman didn't say a word, just rowed, and naturally he was also theirs.

I asked a few more questions this summer. The two were very close, and they never revealed the identity of the adult. Not long after, the building boat that Lu Yi had pointed out to her that night appeared within the horizon, quietly moored in the middle of the lake, the boat broke through the waves and headed towards the building boat.

It's him! A big man from Beijing

Who is the person who wants to step Lu Yi under his feet, this summer is also very curious.

The boat went all the way under the building boat, but the two Jin Yiwei did not get on the boat. When they boarded the cable ladder this summer, the boat swept away again, leaving her alone here.

"you… "

This summer, I was holding the cable ladder in my hand, and I couldn't even shout back. I thought about it, if there is an accident, it would be a big deal to jump into the water. With her water, from the center of the lake to the shore, it is not a problem.

Thinking like this, she was not afraid and climbed up the cable ladder. Strange to say, this cable ladder does not hang down from the deck, but from the third floor of the building ship. She climbed all the way up until she crossed the railing, rolled over and landed on the third-floor deck.

When she landed, the soles of her feet were soft, and she looked down. The ground was covered with furry squirrel skins, one by one, densely packed, covering all the boards she could see. Although furs are only fashionable outside the customs, the price inside the customs is still not cheap. The squirrel skin that is stepping on her feet now can be worth the cost of a year at home.

"What a loser..." This summer shook his head in his heart.

Stepping on the squirrel skin, she stepped into the cabin, and it was quiet inside. In fact, the whole boat looked very quiet, and could not hear any footsteps, perhaps because the ground was covered with furs.

She walked forward cautiously, and among the layers of curtains, the originally poorly lit cabin became darker.

"Anyone?" This summer asked tentatively.

No one responded, and after a short silence, she heard the sound of "chachacha" flint and light, and soon the depths of the curtain ignited a light...

In the light, a figure was reflected on the curtain.

This summer, he could clearly see the movements of the figures. He took off a hairpin from his head, picked the wick, and the fire was a little brighter.

"See your lord." She said aloud.

Still no one answered, the figure put the hairpin back, took the teapot from the table in front of him, and began to pour the tea. As the tea was poured into the cup, the faint scent of tea permeated the room.

This summer, he said loudly: "See your lord for the humble position."

He still ignored her, just pouring tea slowly.

This summer, I was suspicious. Looking at the curtain for a moment, I always felt that this person was indescribably strange. Just as he was about to lift the curtain, he stepped forward to see what was going on, but saw him stand up.

Not only did he stand up, but he also held the cup of tea in his hand. With the sound of clicking, he walked around the table and walked straight towards her. Wherever he walked, the curtain was divided into two and separated on both sides. It's okay if he doesn't come over, but this summer is startled when he walks. That posture doesn't seem to be walking, but rather like floating over, ghostly and terrifying.

She glanced back, making sure there was still a way out.

The last curtain in front of her was separated, the man slid in front of her, and the tea in his hand was just in front of this summer—the hand that held the tea was made of copper and iron, with delicate joints, as flexible as the bones of a real human hand, and the tea cup. Was firmly clamped, not moving.

He turned out to be a dummy!

He lowered his head slightly, and hooked his head to look at his face this summer. It was smooth and clean. It was made of porcelain clay, but it was quite delicate.

The first time she saw such a delicate and realistic doll, she was so fascinated by it that she didn't take the teacup at all. Suddenly, the copper and iron hands let go of the teacup, and the hot tea splashed on the ground. His eyes were facing Jin Xia, and she took a step back in horror.

Behind her, someone supported her.

She was startled and turned back suddenly, facing Shang Lu Yi's slightly frowning eyes.

"grown ups?!"

"Why are you here?" Lu Yi seemed worried about seeing her on the boat.

This summer truthfully said: "When I returned to the city, I met two of Gao Qing's men at the gate of the city. They said that an adult wanted to see me, so they sent me here, but they themselves did not board the boat."

Shang Hao, it wasn't that she came here recklessly, Lu Yi secretly relieved, but then he thought that he didn't know what the master wanted her to come here for, so he couldn't help frowning again.

"Sir, look at this doll, doesn't it look a lot like that... it's that one." Jin Xia tugged at his sleeve.

Lu Yi naturally knows what she wants to say. The workmanship and mechanics of this puppet are much more refined than "Love Parting", but they are similar in purpose. He sighed secretly, pulled the sleeve out of Jinxia's hand, and replaced it with his hand.

Her hands were cold and slightly sweaty.

Are you startled

He looked down at her without a trace: she was staring at the doll, biting her lip hard.

At this moment, the puppet that was standing still suddenly moved, rushed forward, and then went backwards along the way. At the same time, the curtains in the house rose slowly. Looking up at the top of the house this summer, the circular tubes were slowly turning and rolling up the curtains.

Several people poured in from the other side of the house, all barefoot girls.

The ankle that Yingying grasped was slender and white, like a delicate flower blooming.

Finally, there was only one person who slowly walked towards them.

"For the humble post, please refer to Master Yan, Zuo Shilang." Lu Yi bowed and saluted the man.

The left servant, Lord Yan? Yan Shifan!

I was stunned this summer, only to regain my senses, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "... See Master Yan for my humble position."

Yan Shifan said warmly: "No need to be more polite. Yanyuan, I have checked the autumn eagle picture you sent, and it is indeed authentic. I never thought it was secretly hidden by Qiu Luan. Don't... don't look at the seat!" The last sentence was said to the maid.

The maid moved two mahogany chairs and asked Lu Yi to sit down with this summer. Yan Shifan was sitting on the padded Taishi chair, and there was nothing next to it. After the maids turned around, warm tea, various tea fruits, etc. were placed on the coffee table. This series of things was done without even the slightest noise.

This summer, drinking tea, spy on Yan Shifan, it is strange to say that Yan Shifan is a person who is known to everyone in the capital. She has lived in the capital for a long time, but it was the first time she saw him in Yangzhou.

According to rumors in the capital, Yan Shifan was a fat man with a short neck and fat white. But at this time this summer, it seems that the skin is fair, it is a bit paler than the skin of the maid next to him, but she is well-proportioned and should be slightly shorter than Lu Yi, but she can't be regarded as a short fat man. Rumors such as fat head and big ears, etc., can't stand it.

He has a disease in one eye. Although both eyes are open, he can see that the right eye is more cloudy than the left eye, and the eyeball is dead and fixed, which is a bit weird.

"Little girl, if you want to see my eyes, you can take a closer look." Yan Shifan sipped his tea slowly and glanced at Jinxia with his left eye.

This summer, he hurriedly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said, "I dare not."

Lu Yi didn't look at her, and said to Yan Shifan, "She's just a small catcher with six doors. She behaves rudely, and she hasn't seen much of the world. It's so annoying here, why don't you just send her off the boat."

Hearing this, Yan Shifan smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry. Although this little girl is a bit rude, she still has some meaning. I heard that she is quite capable of investigating cases... Little girl, come here."

This summer, he got up, took only two steps forward cautiously, and stopped four or five steps away from Yan Shifan.

"What's your order?"

"I look like this today, in this outfit... What can you tell?" He smiled, showing interest, and even raised his robe specially, "You can also see the shoes."

"..." She was stunned, never expecting Yan Shifan to ask her to analyze himself.

With Yan Shifan's identity and temperament, what words can be said in front of him, and what words can't be said, how can he dare to speak rashly this summer when he decides this size.

Lu Yi smiled and said: "Sir, you see her legs are shaking when she is standing here. She may be afraid of what she is afraid of. Where can she say that she is ugly."

This summer, he just followed his words and said in a slander manner: "How can a low-ranking and a low-ranking position equate an adult with a criminal? It is absolutely impossible."

Yan Shifan thought for a moment, then pointed to the maid beside him: "She! For you, don't refuse any more."

This summer, I looked at the maid, and saw that she was only twenty-eight years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and she was very beautiful.

"Go over and let her take a closer look." Yan Shifan pushed the maid.

When his hand touched the maid, this summer did not miss the flash of tension on the maid's face and the sudden stiffness of her back. Obviously, she was afraid of Yan Shifan, and every touch he touched was very painful to her.
