Spring Forest Evening

visit?Chun Yu didn't come back to his senses: What are you shopping for?Didn't you say that you came to Tangquan Town this time to identify the murderer?

"Cousin... sister" almost made a mistake in his desperation, so he could only call out "cousin": "Don't we have serious business to do?"

Zhou Heng was very satisfied with this "cousin", and gave Chunyu a thumbs up: "'Cousin', we have to do serious business, but the masters didn't set a time for us to go back. It's rare to come out once, so we should come first Why don't you take a walk around this town?"

While talking, she took Chun Yu to the upstairs guest room: "Let's take a rest first, and then go out for a stroll."

After closing the door in the room, Zhou Heng smiled and told Chun Yu his thoughts with a confused face: "I don't think it is advisable to wait for the rabbit, not to mention that the man will come out at any time, day and night. Not necessarily, what if, that person is not actually inside? Then how long will we have to wait? Could it be that we have been waiting for ten days and half a month?"

"Don't worry about this," Chun Yu felt that the always smiling Zhiduoxing Uncle He must have thought of something long ago, and what's more: "In addition to us here, the prince also sent people to watch around the house day and night. If anyone comes out, There are people following, and I will come to inform Miss Biao of the whereabouts of those people who came out, and you can go there to identify them in time."

"But that's not sure that the boatman is also here? And who knows how many people are there? What if you lose it?" Zhou Heng felt that although this method of waiting for a rabbit was effective, it was time-consuming. , she wanted to finish this matter early, and then go home with ease.

On the road before, because the interior of the carriage was more comfortable, the little girl Chuntao said enviously that the prince was good to her, because she had to take care of her relationship with the Miss Zhou family, right?So no matter how good it is, it has nothing to do with me, let's leave early, people in two worlds have no fate.

After hearing Zhou Heng's words, Chun Yu didn't know how to answer her. Indeed, this possibility also exists. If the murderer is not here, it is very likely that waiting for ten days and a half months will not necessarily result.

But at the moment, this is the only way to do it. After all, this is the only clue, not to mention that the person who made a fuss before entered the house here. No matter what, there must be related people here, and there will always be something to gain.

Zhou Heng didn't think so, and pulled Chun Yu's sleeve and whispered to her the method he thought of along the way: "I was thinking, let's go shopping for a couple of days to get familiar with the outside environment, including the surroundings of the house, And didn’t you help me put on my makeup last time? This time, I’ll put on another one, and then we’ll find some excuse to sneak into that house and have a look!”

If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you catch tiger cubs? If anything happens, Chunyu will be able to protect you with kung fu, and there are people from Prince Jing's mansion outside who can help you in time. What are you afraid of?

Zhou Heng, an outsider, had a simple idea, and he also had an inexplicable confidence in Shen Fu, so he geared up and prepared to act according to his own ideas.

When Chun Yu heard this, she became anxious: "Miss Biao, we don't know what's going on in that house, so we can't act rashly like this!"

"That's why I said let's go shopping for a few days first, and act after we figure out the situation!" Zhou Heng looked confident.

All right, then hold on to Miss Biao first, take advantage of these two days to hurry up and get in touch with Uncle He, and ask him about the situation, Chun Yu bit her lip and reluctantly agreed.

Seeing that the discussion was over, Zhou Heng excitedly asked Chun Yu to quickly put on makeup for himself: "Let's go out and go shopping later, and see where there is delicious food!"

Although it looks like a small town, there is always a food street, right?

Afterwards, the two packed up and went upstairs to ask the clerk at the inn. They learned that the town is actually not that big. There are only two criss-cross streets with shops selling mountain products and restaurants with mountain products as the main ingredients on both sides. Lord, never get lost.

"Mountain goods?" Zhou Heng suddenly became interested, and when he entered a restaurant that specializes in dumplings and noodles, he found that there were roe deer and wild boar in the dumpling stuffing, and he couldn't help but click his tongue:

"Chun Yu, why don't we eat the same one alone? This way we can eat two kinds of flavors."

Chun Yu still felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, after all, the other party was different from her own identity, but after seeing Zhou Heng's maid dressed similarly to her, she also calmly explained to the waiter, even for the slightly greasy table He didn't mind it either, and sat down after taking a look at it, and then sat down generously.

But in my heart, I had a good impression of this young lady's easy-going temperament, and even later, Zhou Heng took the initiative to re-divide the two servings of dumplings that were served, without any further tweaking, and even started to think about turning back during the eating process. How to go to Chuntao to show off the honor of having dinner with Miss Biao like sisters.

After eating the dumplings, the two walked around the street contentedly, and walked "by the way" to the vicinity of the house that had been told the address.

In fact, it was just an ordinary house, behind a shop selling dried fruit, not far from the inn where the two lived, and it was not conspicuous at all.

Zhou Heng looked at it, thought for a while, and pulled Chun Yu into the dried fruit shop in front.

"Hey, what do you two want to buy? The shop has a complete range..." A teenage guy in the shop has sharp eyes. He saw that the two girls were wearing clothes and the materials were well made. He must be the maids of some family in Huangzhuang. He greeted him with a full mouth.

Zhou Heng looked at it, and found that there were not many varieties, but they must be natural without additives, so he bought a few. The money was handed in by Shen Fu through the window before departure, and he felt that it was enough.

Even so, Zhou Heng paid back the price decently according to the habits of the 21st century, which surprised Chunyu, and then chatted with the very attentive guy under her surprised eyes:

"Hey, let me ask you, are you all locals here?"

After chatting for a while, Chun Yu listened with admiration. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and her parents were also regarded as capable people in the palace, so they were carefully cultivated since childhood, and she and her younger brother were expected to become the help of the palace as well. , the direction of training is not the normal way of life of ordinary people in the market, and later she was in charge of the inner study of the palace. Yueyin is an example of the big maid in the mansion. Basically, it can be said that it doesn't care about the price.

Unexpectedly, this young lady who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, she still has a good appearance, but she chatted with that guy later, which made people hear something.

For example, according to the guy, there are not many locals in this town. Most of them are from Gyeonggi-do or even further away from Zhongnan-do and other places. They rent the houses of local people to do business. It's Huangzhuang. The maids and servants in the village don't have much to do on weekdays, so they will go to Tangquan Town to hang out, but he is a local, and the shopkeeper is his father. This shop is also his own, and there is no rent. The worry is that the prices of the things in the shop are absolutely fair.

"Miss Biao, why didn't you continue to ask questions later?" On the way back, the two of them were eating a pack of red dates they bought. not much.

"Oh, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. People will be annoying if I ask too many questions." Zhou Heng smiled and was in a good mood. It’s never too late to ask.”

Chun Yu's brain is also smart, and she understands it as soon as she hears it, but no, he is also for business, and it is polite to tell you so much, so he immediately agreed with a smile.

In the next few days, the two visited Tangquan Town, and got a general understanding of the town's layout. Zhou Heng was told to recognize several people, but unfortunately none of them were the boatman, but a few friends. The people in the shop chatted back and forth, and they talked about some things.

In the end, Zhou Heng wanted to be a neighbor next to the house on the pretext of finding a long-term residence and inventory place for his cousin who was doing business, and then slowly found an opportunity to go in and find someone. I learned from the shop where I went to buy dried fruit the first time that there was a house in the back that the tenants didn't want to rent anymore. I heard that they had been asking someone for the past two days to see if anyone was willing to renew the lease.

Zhou Heng's heart moved, thinking for no reason, could it be that private house?In the end, she was overjoyed that it really was, so she quickly made a decisive decision: "How about this, Brother Wang, do you know the tenants in that house? The rent of such a house should be cheaper, right? Could you let me and my cousin go first?" Go and see what's going on inside?"

Chun Yu was startled when she heard this, and instinctively waved her hands to refuse: "No, no, cousin, let's wait until...brother and the others come?" Who knows what people are there?The prince said that Miss Biao's safety comes first.

"Oh, cousin, how can we wait for this kind of thing? What if someone else rents it out?" Zhou Heng knew what she was worried about, but if those people evacuated, wouldn't it be nothing?I still have to go in early to have a look, so I winked at her: "Don't worry, Brother Wang is with us, he is a local, we just go in and have a look, it's okay."

These two generous girls have spent a lot of money in their shop these two days. Brother Wang is about the same age as the two of them, and he thinks he can get along well with these two girls, even though the girls look like maids of wealthy families , a little too high to climb, but if the cousin they are talking about can rent a house here to settle down and do business, then... anyway, they can take them to see the house, and they won't suffer much. It's not bad, but the worst thing is, the cousin who is knowledgeable and interesting will buy some dried fruit later to express her gratitude.

Brother Wang was very enthusiastic, and also persuaded Chunyu from the side: "Yes, girl, the rent of the house that will be sublet in the middle of the journey must be cheap, and it is very cost-effective. If someone else takes it first, wouldn't it be too late to regret it?"

In front of the two of them, he reported to his father that he would go away for a while, anyway, there was not much business in the store at the moment, and the shopkeeper knew that the two girls had spent a lot of money in the store these days, so he was very happy. Being a human being allowed him.

"Then... let's do it!" Chun Yu was still a little hesitant, looked at the sky outside, it was still early noon, the sun was hanging high, and he thought: "Why don't we come back after lunch?" Then we can follow the outside The guards contacted and asked them to watch more.

"Oh, what if people take a lunch break after lunch?" Zhou Heng had his own plan: "The weather is hot now, so it's not very good to visit the door in the afternoon. Besides, we have to come here after lunch." How troublesome it is!"

The main reason is that the time for lunch should be the time when people are most complete, and then it can be basically confirmed whether the boatman is here.

Zhou Heng couldn't help it, and finally, a group of three people left the dried fruit shop, led by Brother Wang under the hot sun at noon, and slammed on the gate of that house...
