Suddenly a voice interrupted: "The dead are the greatest, so don't be arbitrary about the length of the Taoist."

The voice fell to the ground, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground sounded again.

Yun Zuo looked around, and it turned out that the person who came was Ning Zhan.

Ning Zhan was wearing ordinary coarse linen yesterday, but today he has changed into silk and satin.

Yesterday's Ning Zhan looked pitiful and innocent, but today's Ning Zhan's eyebrows and eyes are full of extravagance.

Clothes really make a man.

The two servants said obediently in unison: "Young Master Ning is right."

Ning Zhan ignored the boy and went straight to the dining room.

Obviously Ning Zhan is already quite familiar with this place, and his steps are smooth without any hesitation.

Yun Zuo's eyesight is excellent, because he suddenly saw a red mark on Ning Zhan's ear, he couldn't help but recall what happened last night.

Last night Ning Zhan was talking to Zhao Cong, obviously weeping, but urged Zhao Cong to hurry up.

But since he was crying, why should Zhao Cong be quicker? How can he be quicker?

Looking closely at Ning Zhan, Ning Zhan's eyes were slightly red and swollen, probably because of crying?

Could it be that Zhao Cong forced Ning Zhan?

Yesterday, he happened to see Ning Zhan's wrists from the wide sleeves of his clothes. There was a tear on each of them, which should be caused by someone binding his hands with hemp rope or cloth strips.

Ning Zhan said to himself that his body was already unclean. It was obvious that after Ning Zhan fell into the hands of the trash, he was raped by his hands bound.

If Ning Zhan is not willing to talk to Zhao Cong, after escaping by chance, there is absolutely no reason to fall into the fire pit again.

And judging from Ning Zhan's performance yesterday, Ning Zhan is indeed very attached to Zhao Cong.

He thought about it thoroughly, and was about to greet Ning Zhan, but he heard one of the servants sneer: "It's just the young master's male favorite, can you really think of yourself as the master of the Zhao family?"

Ning Zhan was already three feet away from the boy, and the boy's voice was so low that Ning Zhan shouldn't have heard it.

But Ning Zhan was blind, and his hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people.

Seeing Ning Zhan's red eye circles, Yun Zuo paused, but in the end, he continued to walk forward.

Coincidentally, these words were also heard by Zhao Cong, who came after him. Zhao Cong was still dressed in brocade, and his upright facial features were raised eyebrows because of anger. Deed, go to the accountant to settle the wages, go out of the house today, don't let me see you again."

After saying that, he walked quickly to Ning Zhan, put his arms around Ning Zhan's shoulders, and said softly, "Why do you come out alone? What if you fall?"

Ning Zhan said shyly, "I'm a little hungry. Seeing that you were still asleep, I wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat."

While the two were talking, the two young servants looked shocked, and rushed forward again, kneeling at Zhao Cong's feet with a "plop".

Without even looking at them, Zhao Cong kissed Ning Zhan's eyelids and said, "Just let the servants bring them to the room."

Ning Zhan shook his head and said, "That will wake you up."

Zhao Cong smiled and said, "As soon as you came out of my arms, I woke up. I just stayed on the bed for a while before catching up with you now."

Ning Zhan blushed and said, "Sorry for waking you up."

Zhao Cong bit Ning Zhan's earlobe halfway and said, "But I didn't expect you to have the strength to get up early in the morning."

He watched Ning Zhan's face turn red with satisfaction, and then took Ning Zhan's hand and walked to the dining room.

After walking a few steps, he found Yun Zuo and Ye Changyao not far away, and said pleasantly, "Did you two sleep well yesterday?"

Yunzuo said with a smile: "A good night's sleep, thank you for your hospitality."

"Young Master Yun, you're being polite." Zhao Cong said again worriedly, "Yesterday you coughed so badly, but you insisted that you don't need a doctor's diagnosis and treatment. Today, your complexion looks even paler than yesterday."

"I'm fine." Since Ye Changyao took his inner breath yesterday, although his face is pale today, his breath is much smoother, and he hasn't coughed yet.

Yun Zuo heard Zhao Cong say again: "Since Mr. Yun insists, I can't force it, but Mr. Yun is unwell and needs to stay in my residence for two more days."

He was eager to go to see Cui Mountain, but he declined politely: "I accept Mr. Zhao's wish."

"Then just follow the two young masters, but if the two young masters pass by my Suzhou City in another day, please invite the two young masters to stay in the mansion for a few days." Zhao Cong invited again with a smile, "Zhan'er and I are about to Go to have breakfast, how about the two young masters go together?"

Yun Zuo joked: "My husband and I are both hungry, Mr. Zhao is afraid that the two of us will make the Zhao family poor?"

"The two of you sent Zhan'er back to me. Even if my Zhao family is poor, I won't be afraid." Although Zhao Cong said to Yunzuo, his eyes were fixed on Ning Zhan.

Under Zhao Cong's eager gaze, Ning Zhan's face was flushed, but he didn't speak.

As soon as the four of them arrived at the dining room, Zhao Cong ordered the servant girl to bring breakfast.

The Zhao family is rich and honored, and they also pay attention to breakfast.

Looking at the dazzling array of breakfast in front of him, Yunzuo casually brought a bowl of wonton noodles with chicken soup, fresh meat and shrimp.

This chicken soup, fresh shrimp and wonton noodles are topped with some shredded eggs. The soup base is chicken soup made by an old hen. Although it is not as good as Ye Changyao's chicken soup, it is not bad. It is egg noodles, smooth and smooth, with the aroma of eggs and wheat. There is a whole shrimp hidden in the wonton, mixed with pork filling, and it is full of freshness when you bite it off.

Ye Changyao chose celery beef soup and pickled pork pot kuih.

Sitting opposite them, Zhao Cong didn't eat it himself, but took a bowl of millet sea cucumber porridge and fed it to Ning Zhan spoonful by spoonful.

Ning Zhan ate obediently, and put his hands around Zhao Cong's waist.

Yun Zuo ate a fresh meat and shrimp wonton, took another piece of Longjing Cake, took a bite, and asked, "How did Mr. Ning become blind?"

The smile on Zhao Cong's face faded immediately: "Mr. Yun, I hope you don't want to touch Zhan'er's sad things."

"I have accepted the fact that I am blind, you don't need to be so nervous." Ning Zhan swallowed the millet and sea cucumber porridge in his mouth, and said, "I lost my sight when I was 15 years old. I was seriously ill at that time. , bedridden, invited many doctors, but none of them got better, and then unfortunately met a quack doctor, the disease was cured, but the eyes were no longer visible."

Zhao Cong caressed Ning Zhan's eyes with his fingertips, then stared at Yun Zou and said, "Is your curiosity satisfied now?"

"I'm sorry." Yun Zuo stopped talking, and buried himself in the wantan noodles with chicken soup, fresh meat and shrimp.

After the four of them finished their breakfast, Yun Zuo got up and bid farewell to Zhao Cong and Ning Zhan.

Zhao Cong was dissatisfied in his heart, so he did not persuade him to stay.

But Ning Zhan didn't mind, he said to persuade him to stay: "The two young masters can stay for a few more days."

Yun Zuo said apologetically: "We have important things to do, we can't delay, we have to set off."

Ning Zhan sniffed: "Then I won't keep the two young masters, the mountains are long and the rivers are far away, take care of the two young masters."

Yun Zuo followed Ye Changyao back to the room, packed his bags, and left the Zhao residence.

Zhao Cong ordered the servant to bring the two people's carriage, and reluctantly sent them off with Ning Zhan.

Yun Zuo got into the carriage, and Ye Changyao drove to the city gate.

Unexpectedly, the city gate was guarded by strict soldiers, and no one was allowed to enter or exit.

Naturally, the two of them can go out of the city with their own cultivation, but it is really inconvenient in broad daylight, and if the two of them go out of the city, what should they do with the carriage?

Yun Zuo lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "But what happened?"

The officers and soldiers were very tight-lipped: "It is inconvenient to disclose."

Yun Zuo got out of the carriage, sat on the shaft, next to Ye Changyao, and said in a low voice: "Could it be because of the death of Mr. Mo?"

Ye Changyao had already put on the bamboo hat, and the gauze on the edge of the bamboo hat trembled from Yun Zuo's breath, and slightly touched his cheek.

He felt his cheeks itchy, and said: "Let's find an inn to stay in first, and then go to inquire about it."

"Okay." Yun Zuo didn't go back into the carriage, because he was born with a heavy waist and thick temples, which attracted many people's attention.

He had an outstanding appearance during his lifetime, but it was not as good as his current skin, and he had never been so noticed before.

Even though it is like this every time he turns around and is in many places, he is still not used to it.

Ye Changyao noticed this and advised, "You'd better go back to the carriage."

After all, he has to get used to it, he can't just hide in the carriage every time, so he smiled and said, "No need."

Ye Changyao didn't try to persuade him anymore, at this moment, he happened to pass by the door of the silk shop where he met Ning Zhan yesterday.

There was an inn not far from the silk shop, Ye Changyao stopped the carriage, and went into the inn with Yun Zuo.

Ye Changyao asked the shopkeeper for two upper rooms, and asked the shopkeeper to take care of the horse.

The shopkeeper collected the broken silver, and asked the second brother to take the two of them to the room.

The rooms of the two are not adjacent to each other, one can be reached upstairs, and the other is at the end of the corridor.

In order for Yunzuo to be clean and have a good night's sleep, Ye Changyao let Yunzuo live in the room at the end of the corridor.

The second brother first brought Ye Changyao to the door of the room, and then brought Yun Zuo to the door of the room, and said respectfully: "Young Master, if you need anything, you can tell me anytime."

Yun Zuo said bluntly: "The two of us were going out of the city, but for some reason, the gate of the city is guarded by soldiers and we are not allowed to enter or leave. Do you know what happened?"

The second brother replied: "It is said that Mr. Mo was stabbed to death. His body was found in an abandoned tea shop outside the city. It was discovered by the Mo family late last night. The Mo family immediately reported to the police. Mr. Mo is The great benevolent people in this city pave the road and donate porridge, Master Fang decided to seal the city today in order to find out the truth."

Yun Zuo asked again: "In this way, do you have to wait until the real culprit who killed Mr. Mo is found out before opening the city?"

The second elder brother nodded and said, "It should be like this."

"Thank you, little brother." Yunzuo had hidden all his belongings in the Qiankun bag, and there was nothing to put in the room. He took a rough look at his room, and then went to look for Ye Changyao.

Ye Changyao happened to close the door, saw him, and said, "I heard what the second brother said, but there are two doubts in it: first, the body was abandoned in an abandoned tea shop outside the city, There is a small town ten miles away from the city of Suzhou where food, drink and lodging can be provided. The murderer can escape by abandoning his body. Why should he stay in the city of Suzhou? Mr. Dao Mo was murdered."

"But no one can be sure that the murderer is definitely not in the city of Suzhou. But if I were the murderer, I would have escaped long ago. How could I just sit and die in the city of Suzhou? But Mr. Fang should have a certain reason for closing the city." Yun Zuo frowned and said, "As for the cause of Mr. Mo's death, I'm afraid we have to inquire again."

Afterwards, the two of them went out of the inn. Yunzuo bought a bunch of candied haws, and asked the old woman who sold candied haws: "The two of us planned to go out of the city, but we didn't expect that the city was closed. May I ask the old man why it is closed?" city?"

The old woman was getting old and her ears were not working well, so she said apologetically, "What did you say?"

Yun Zuo immediately repeated it, and the old woman heard clearly: "I heard that the city was closed because Mr. Mo passed away."

Yun Zuo asked: "Why did Mr. Mo pass away?"

The old woman said hesitantly: "It seems to be killed by someone."

There was a young woman selling embroidery next to the old woman. Hearing what the old woman said, she interjected: "I heard that Mr. Mo was murdered for money, and all the belongings of Mr. Mo disappeared."

After the young woman finished speaking, she said enthusiastically: "The two young masters, do you want to buy an embroidered handkerchief and give it to your sweetheart?"

Ye Changyao has always been soft-hearted, seeing the young woman's stall was empty and her clothes were worn out, he said, "Then just buy one."

The young woman picked out an embroidered handkerchief embroidered with patterns of mandarin ducks playing in water, handed it to Ye Changyao and said, "How about this one?"

Ye Changyao didn't care about the pattern of the embroidered handkerchief, and after paying the copper coin, he was about to take the embroidered handkerchief, but suddenly a strong smell of blood came straight to his nostrils.
