Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

"Bam—!"

Ni Yexin was almost slapped on the nose by the door, so she quickly took a step back.

Murong Chang slammed the door of the room with his backhand, the sound was deafening.

Ni Yexin stood outside the door of Murong Changqing's room for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him, but Popcorn ran out, tilting his head and looking at him with a dazed expression.

Ni Yexin had no choice but to pick up the popcorn and whispered, "Hero Murong is angry again."

"Woof—" Popcorn yelled.

Ni Yexin stayed for a long time, guessing that Hero Murong was so angry that he would not open the door and come out for a while, so he simply carried the popcorn back to the room, changed his own clothes, and then went out of the yard to continue I went to investigate.

Hero Murong was indeed very angry at Ni Yexin. He was well-intentioned, so he just added a word to tell Ni Yexin not to waste his efforts all the time. Who would have thought that...

This was simply a one-shot hit, and it hit Hero Murong's shortcoming firmly and ruthlessly.

Murong Changqing didn't have much of a childhood, except for practicing martial arts and being sent out by the master to complete tasks.After the master passed away, Murong Changqing naturally inherited the position of the leader.He really got used to being quiet when no one restrained him.

He never thought about looking for someone, spending his whole life with someone, he always felt that it was too far-fetched, and naturally he would have no one to get along with, especially the hero Murong who is obsessed with cleanliness, it is impossible to go to a place like a brothel.

So what Ni Yexin said was really right.

Ni Yexin came out of the yard and was about to walk around when she saw the old housekeeper leading the doctor out of the lady's yard.

The doctor's expression was not very good, he shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid..."

Ni Yexin's martial arts are not bad at all, and her ears are very sharp. He was a little dazed when he heard these two words with profound meaning.

The old butler turned pale, and said, "Ma'am is in good health, how could it be so sudden?"

The doctor said: "One item is good? I am afraid that this disease has accumulated for many years, and it did not happen overnight. The time is already running out. Recently, the lady was frightened and depressed. I am afraid the situation will be even worse. ..."

The old butler sighed, nodded, and said, "I see, I'll ask my servants to take you out."

The doctor left quickly, and the old housekeeper stood alone at the gate of the lady's yard, and found Ni Yexin after turning around.

The old butler was taken aback, forced a smile and said, "Master Ni, what's the matter?"

Ni Yexin said, "I'm just passing by."

The old butler nodded and said, "I still have things to deal with, so first..."

Ni Yexin quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I would like to ask the old man, have you seen such a thing?"

As Ni Yexin said, he took out the mandarin duck from his arms and handed it to the old housekeeper.

The old butler took it, because his eyes were not very good, he picked it up and took a closer look, his hands trembled suddenly, and he almost threw the thing on the ground.

Ni Yexin hurried to pick it up, but the old butler reacted quite quickly, so he caught it and let out a sigh of relief.

Ni Yexin said: "Mister, do you know me?"

The old butler shook his head and said: "Master Ni, you are really embarrassing. How can I understand this kind of jade? I don't understand these things."

Ni Yexin said: "Really? But there is also a snake pattern engraved on the underside of this mandarin duck handle. Look, old man, it is the same as the snake pattern left behind by the two murders."

"I've never seen it before, I've never seen it before." The old butler waved his hand, as if he didn't want to look at the piece again.

Ni Yexin said: "Has the old man heard of the rumor of the water god?"

The old butler said: "That's just a rumor, not true. If Mr. Ni is interested, I can tell you some other legends. Although our place is a small place, there are still many interesting rumors."

Ni Yexin smiled and said, "No need, old man, please do your work first."

The old housekeeper nodded immediately as if he had been pardoned, and left quickly.

"He should know something."

Ni Yexin looked at the back of the old butler, and heard someone talking behind him, and he knew from the sound that it could only be Murong Changqing alone.

Ni Yexin hurriedly turned her head, Murong Changqing changed her clothes, but obviously she didn't wear the one Ni Yexin washed.

Ni Yexin didn't dare to ask, let alone mention what happened just now, and said solemnly: "It seems that we should go out and inquire about the story of the water god."

Murong Changqing and Ni Yexin left Feng's house, found a small tea shop outside, sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and gave some money to the waiter.

Of course, the silver came from the hero Murong. Ni Yexin has nothing but a few copper coins in his arms.

The waiter is a local, and when he heard them ask about the water god, he seemed to have a lot to say.But Ni Yexin and the others have heard the story basically, so there is nothing new about it.

The waiter in the shop lowered his voice mysteriously, and said: "You are from other places, don't you know, we have a big family here, offended the water god, two of them died already."

Ni Yexin raised her eyebrows, the big family that the waiter said was definitely the Feng family.

Ni Yexin said: "Really? How did you offend the water god?"

The shop waiter said: "We do sacrifices here every year. When the days come, every family will go to the water's edge to offer sacrifices to the water god, but that family has never been to us since they came to us five or six years ago. Sacrifice. I have already said that they will anger the water god sooner or later. Look at this, two people died suddenly, it must be the manifestation of the water god!"

Ni Yexin frowned and said, "You only came here five or six years ago?"

"That's right." The waiter said, "We are a small place. How can there be such rich people? They were already rich when they came here."

Ni Yexin asked: "Do you know what the water god looks like?"

"I heard it's as beautiful as a fairy!" The waiter said, "I don't know what it looks like, no one has seen it before."

Ni Yexin said: "Didn't someone say that someone has seen it?"

The waiter said, "Hey, that was all a few years ago, it's not sure if it's true."

"Really..." Ni Yexin said.

"My lord! My lord Ni!"

Ni Yexin was about to bow her head to drink tea, when she heard Chi Long's voice in a hurry.

Ni Yexin looked up and said, "You're back so soon? Any news?"

Chi Long said: "There is news, there is news, but my lord, there are more important things!"

Ni Yexin said: "Isn't he dead again?"

"No!" Chi Long said: "It's Lord Jing, Lord Jing came here suddenly, and he's already at Feng's house now!"

"Ah?" Ni Ye was a little confused, and said, "Who's here?"

Chi Long said: "It's really Lord Jing. Zhao Yin and I met at the door when we went back just now. King Jing brought a few guards and wore ordinary clothes. He said he was staying at Feng's house for a night, and he also said that he knew Mr. Ni." , and went in."

Ni Yexin suddenly grew up with one head and two big ones. What respect for the king? Although Ni Yexin had been in Kaifeng Mansion for a while, he didn't often go to the palace, and he had never seen any princes.

Chi Long said: "Master, let's go back first!"

Ni Yexin was still in a daze, but no matter what he heard, King Jing was a prince, and he was definitely not something a little sixth-rank captain could neglect, so he had to follow Chi Long back to Feng's house urgently.

Zhao Yin waited at the gate of Feng Mansion, and said: "Master Ni, King Jing is in the guest room. If you want your lord to come back, just go there."

"I see..." Ni Yexin nodded.

Murong Chang said affectionately: "I'm going back to my room first, call me when you need to investigate the case."

"Okay, Hero Murong, you go back first." Ni Yexin said.

Although Murong Changqing said that he was going back to the room first, they all walked towards the courtyard of the guest room, they walked the same path and did not separate.

There were two guards standing outside the courtyard of the guest room. Although they were wearing ordinary clothes, they looked imposing and their martial arts were definitely not weak.

Those two people just stood still and didn't stop them when they saw them, just like wooden men.

When everyone entered the yard, they saw a person sitting at the stone table, and four guards stood beside him.The sitting man was wearing a water-blue gown, even if he didn't look at his face, he felt extraordinary. He looked about forty years old, and the hair on his temples was a little gray, but he didn't look old, just a little vicissitudes.

The man is drinking tea, and it looks like King Jing in Chi Long's mouth.

King Jing heard the movement, raised his head, and saw Ni Yexin and the others walking in. Just seeing this, King Jing was suddenly taken aback, put down the cup in his hand, stood up, and walked two steps forward.

"Master..." The guards beside King Jing immediately followed up and asked in a low voice.

King Jing shook his hand, and the guards retreated immediately.

When Ni Yexin and the others saw King Jing approaching, they quickly saluted.

"You don't need to be too polite, I don't want too many people to know my identity." King Jing waved his hand and said with an easygoing look.

King Jing was talking, but his eyes were obviously not on Ni Yexin and the others, but on Murong Changqing behind.

Murong Changqing didn't stop, and went straight to his room.

King Jing caught up with him by two steps, and said, "Young master, please stop."

Murong Changqing paused and looked back. He more or less knew the identity of this man from the conversation between Ni Yexin and Chi Long, but in Murong Changqing's eyes, the prince is not as good as a fast catcher.

King Jing looked at him in shock and said, "Can you tell me, what is your name?"

Murong Chang frowned in displeasure, without moving the corner of his mouth, as if he didn't hear, he turned and left.

King Jing's four guards were startled and angry when they saw this, and they immediately held down the swords at their waists and were about to step forward.King Jing immediately pressed his hand and said, "Don't be rude."

Murong Changqing didn't look back, just sneered, opened the door and walked in.

Over there, Chi Long and Zhao Yin were both in a cold sweat, thinking that if they really wanted to do something, it would be fatal.

"My lord?"

Ni Yexin was really curious about King Jing's attitude, so she couldn't help calling King King in a low voice.

King Jing muttered in a low voice, "It's so similar." Then he came back to his senses, and said, "Guard Ni, I heard that you came to this generation to investigate the case about the snake pattern totem."

Ni Yexin hurriedly said, "That's the case."

King Jing nodded, went back and sat down at the table, and said: "I heard that you have already solved a case, it seems that the people in Kaifeng Mansion are very capable. But..."

King Jing was holding a small teacup, he didn't drink tea, he just played with it in his hand, then changed the subject and said: "You don't need to investigate the case of Feng's family anymore, you can set off to investigate the next case tomorrow morning."
