Beloved at the Door - Chapter 22

What’s tricky…

Di Jing walked back and forth in the house with his hands in his hands. This night was destined to be a sleepless night.

After finally waiting until the day of rest, Shangguan Yan was planning to make a good inspection of the shop’s business, but suddenly she was shocked to hear that someone broke into the cell at night last night.

As soon as he received the news, Shangguan Yan rushed to the Yamen.

The incident of breaking into the cell late at night must have something to do with the tomb robbery. She ran into the yamen with a token and caught an officer asking about it. The officer had never seen her before, and when she saw the sorrowful face, she almost didn’t scare to death. Later, a female guard came over and led her to the cell.

When she arrived, Di Jing seemed to feel a little bit, and looked at her, raised her hand to signal her to pass, and she immediately walked towards him, and at the same time saw a row of dead bodies on the ground.

“My lord, this is…”

“The men in black who rushed to jail at night, fifteen people came, ten people escaped, five people were caught, all five of them took poison and committed suicide.”

She stepped forward to examine the dead bodies, and everyone’s face was black, showing the poisonous drama, spreading so fast, and leaving no chance for rescue.

“They are dead men.” She looked at Di Jing.

“Do you recognize it?”

She shook her head. “They are all fresh faces.” When she suddenly remembered something, she asked again: “Do you know if they came to rob or die?”

If it is a robbery, it is to catch her; if it is to kill her, it is to kill her.

Di Jing lowered his face and stared at the dead body on the ground. “I don’t know, it’s a pity that this official set this bait, set a trap, and caught the fish, but failed to survive.”

Shangguan Yan said, “Not necessarily, dead bodies are also a clue. Why don’t you send someone to find out which poison they took?”

Di Jing shook his head lightly. “Why didn’t this officer expect? The officer has already found the most powerful work to identify it, but still can’t find out what poison it is.” Then he sighed. “If there is someone who has a more powerful drug test, it would be nice to be able to find the answer for the officer.”

Shangguan Yan was silent, looking at the dead body on the ground, lost in thought.

Di Jing gave the jailer a few more words to move the dead body to the corpse room, then turned and left the cell. Shangguan Yan did not leave. She walked to one of the corpses and quietly took out a veil and wiped the blood from the dead body’s mouth. , And then quickly wrapped it up and hid it in his sleeves before getting up and leaving.

After she got out of the cell door, Di Jing, who was hidden in the dark after a certain distance, walked out and ordered Qiu Dan next to her. “Follow carefully.”

“Yes, my lord.” Qiu Dan immediately performed light work, trailing behind Shangguan Yan.

Di Jing turned back to the prison and whispered a command to a guard. “Bring the ten dead men caught here, and the officer wants to interrogate them.” What he didn’t tell Shangguan Yan was that the ten dead men did not escape and were all arrested. He wanted to take advantage of this case and check him all the time. Doubt about something about her.

Shangguan Yan, who was placed in a row, did not know that she was being followed. She went directly to the powder shop, then ordered someone to prepare paper and pen, wrote a few lines on the letter, and then used oil cloth to put the blood-stained veil on the veil. Pack it, put it into a leather tube with the letter paper, and Ming Xilang personally send it to the genius doctor Zhao Old Man, and then she continues to inspect her shop.

The next day, not long after Shangguan Yan walked into the Yamen, Di Jing ordered someone to summon her to pass.

“My lord is going out?”

Seeing that the carriage was ready, she couldn’t help looking at Di Jing in confusion.

“You follow the officer.” After dropping this sentence, Di Jing got into the carriage. Although Shangguan Yan was puzzled, he thought that he would know it anyway, so he walked to the seat next to the coachman in front.

Di Jing lifted the curtain of the car and ordered in a deep voice. “Don’t be scary from sitting outside, come in.”

Shangguan Yan was stunned, and the other officials listened, some of them held back a smile, while others turned their faces and smirked.

Hmph, this person is the same as when he was in Qin’s house, he still likes to tease her deliberately when he catches the opportunity, and he hasn’t changed in the slightest.

She walked back whisperingly, jumped into the carriage with a relaxed leap, and sat opposite Di Jing.

Di Jing ordered immediately. “Departure.”

The carriage drove out from the side door, Shangguan Yan opened the curtain to admire the street scene outside, and felt Di Jing’s gaze, she turned her head to look at him.

“Your face seems to show no signs of recovery?” he asked.

Shangguan Yan touched his face, lowered his eyes sadly, and sighed. “Yes, maybe it won’t be better, maybe you will face this ugly face for the rest of your life.”

“Not ugly.”

She raised her eyes and looked at him quite unexpectedly.

He looked straight into her eyes and said, “You are you, no matter whether your face is pockmarked or rash, it will not change. In my eyes, you are beautiful.” After that, he shut himself down. Rejuvenate.

Shangguan Yan looked at him blankly, what did he just say? Not ugly? Beautiful? Why does this sound a bit like a love story? But it doesn’t look like him?

This was the first time she heard words of praise from him. It is hard to imagine that someone as serious as him and who loves to quarrel with her would praise her and speak so seriously.

Didn’t he know that saying such a thing would easily make the girl’s misunderstanding? People who couldn’t say good things on weekdays suddenly praised her seriously, which really made her uncomfortable, and the inexplicable deer bumped into her heart. She hurriedly took a deep breath and whispered that she couldn’t keep her breath.

Fortunately, he closes his eyes now, otherwise, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to let him discover his hot ears?

Only thinking about that, Di Jing, who was sitting opposite, suddenly opened her eyes, making her froze.

“What’s the matter with you?” he asked.

“Me? No!” She quickly pretended to be stupid.

He suddenly leaned towards her, this unexpected behavior made her inexplicably lift her heart, she opened her eyes wide and stared at him, and suddenly felt a warmth in her ears, and his fingers gently lifted the temples from her ears.

“Your ears have a rash too.” He curled his eyebrows, his tone was solemn.

“Oh? Really?” She forced herself to be calm, deliberately using a relaxed tone to cover up the unprovoked ripples of Xinhu Lake.

His elegant aura surrounded her, and the palms near her temples exuded a faint fragrance of ink. His behavior seemed to be purely caring for her and had no other meaning.

Strange, why is she so uncomfortable? She usually pretends to be a man, and when necessary, she hooks up with him. Shouldn’t it be so useless? She glanced at Di Jing. He was handsome, but she hadn’t seen a handsome man. It’s just that the roots of the ears became red uncontrollably when he picked up the hair. Fortunately, he thought it was a rash. , Otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Di Jing only glanced at it, then withdrew his hand and sat back in the opposite seat. “Don’t worry, I will send someone to inquire and find a doctor with good medical skills to treat you. After all, your face will become like this, and I have to take some responsibility.”

Shangguan Yan realized that he felt guilty, and he used the reason of disguise to come to him at the beginning, but he did not expect that he would take this matter to his heart to pay attention to her so much.

“Thanks a lot, then.” She handed her hands freely and was not polite to him, thinking that it was probably the words he said just now that made her feel a little moved, and her ears became hot for no reason.

She quickly threw away the messy thoughts and regained her composure.

On the surface, Di Jing was calm as usual, but her mind was surging. It seemed that she was not completely indifferent to him, which made him happy, and the light in her eyes quickly hidden.

“Where are we going?”

“Go arrest people.”

“Who to catch?”

“When that person appears, you will know.”

Heh, it’s so mysterious, it’s actually sold out? It can be seen that this person must be very important. She stopped asking more.

After leaving the city gate, the carriage went west for an hour, and then drove into a village.

After entering Zhuangzi, Di Jing got out of the carriage and ordered everyone to dress up. At this moment, he was wearing an official uniform. The other guards were also dressed in official uniforms. She herself was dressed as a catcher. It seems that Di Halfway through the ring, I came to this Zhuangzi because I was planning to go out on a tour with a microservice.

The people in the Zhuangzi distributed the prepared clothes to everyone. What she was assigned was a young woman’s clothes, and she understood that she was supposed to pretend to be a woman.

She put on the women’s clothes and combed the women’s buns. When she was ready, she walked out of the house. Everyone gathered in the courtyard. The dressed people also looked at each other’s outfits. The male guards changed into servant uniforms. The guard was pretending to be a maid. She thought to herself that she was pretending to be a maid, but then she felt that the quality of the clothes on her body was very good, not quite like what the maid wore, but a lady, uh…no Do you want her to pretend to be a lady?

At this moment, everyone’s expressions suddenly became respectful, as if someone came out. She followed everyone’s gaze and saw Di Jing walking out of the house. At this moment, he had taken off his official robe and put on a sky-blue wide. She had a brocade suit with a jade belt around her waist and a jade crown on her combed hair. She walked towards her gracefully and calmly, and she stared at him.

This dress shows that he is the master. Although there is no stern and intimidating authority, he has the style of the head of the family.

Di Jing looked her up and down and gave a comment. “It’s okay. Yinshuang, tell her who you are.”

“Yes.” The female guard named Yinshuang stepped forward and handed Shangguan Yan a list of everyone’s identities.

It turns out that this time they are pretending to be a big family. Di Jing is the master, she is the wife, and the female guard named Yinshuang is her maid. The list has everyone’s pseudonym and identity, as well as their family’s origin.

“After memorizing it, destroy this list,” Yin Shuang said.

At this time, Di Jing had already got on the carriage, Shangguan Yan immediately turned around and jumped up to discuss with Di Jing.
