Chapter 32 Black shop?
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but be shocked, no way?
The couple had never lived under the same roof for three years, and she still thought Xie Zhao was a chaste woman. Could it be that he was bribed by a meal of grilled fish?
In front of him, Xie Zhao was putting the hairpin into the small box, and then looking at Jiang Yuzhu.
"Master?"
All kinds of inappropriate thoughts flashed through Jiang Yuzhu's mind. Her body was a little tense and her heart was beating like a drum.
Xie Zhao pointed at the clepsydra by the window and said calmly, "It's very late."
Then he threw back the quilt and lay down, closing his eyes and making no more noise.
Jiang Yuzhu was panicked at first, and then became a little annoyed.
What is there for her to be afraid of when she has even been to a brothel?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuzhu took off her bun, hugged the quilt with a happy heart, and dreamed of Zhou Gong.
The carriage was filled with sleep-inducing incense.
It was late at night, and Xie Zhao's closed eyes suddenly opened.
He turned to Jiang Yuzhu who was leaning towards him. Her face was rosy and her red lips were slightly open as she breathed.
At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu was grabbing Xie Zhao's sleeve and wiping her mouth from time to time.
This is... dreaming about delicious food and mistaking his sleeve for a handkerchief?
Xie Zhao's eyes were clear without any trace of sleepiness, and his pupils were deep.
As Jiang Yuzhu's legs were on him, Xie Zhao's expression suddenly became complicated, and his face was indescribable.
The reason why Xie Zhao restrained himself was that he had no interest in love affairs, not that he was a physically defective man.
"lady……"
She came closer, and even her breath carried a faint floral scent. Xie Zhao only felt his body getting hot, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep.
Jiang Yuzhu hummed softly and turned to the side in her sleep.
At this point, Xie Zhao finally lifted the alarm. He silently recited the Heart Purification Technique and closed his eyes again.
Before she fell asleep, Jiang Yuzhu turned over and snuggled into his arms.
From beginning to end, only Xie Zhao was awake, while Jiang Yuzhu was sleeping very soundly.
After a whole night of struggling, Xie Zhao endured the torture but never woke up Jiang Yuzhu.
In the other carriage, Hong Xiu and Hong Jin looked tense.
After the two looked at each other, Hong Xiu asked, "It should be okay for the master and the lady to live together, right?"
Hong Jin thought about it again and again, and finally came to the conclusion: "Madam should not be unable to sleep. If someone is taken advantage of, it is Madam who took advantage of the master."
They are husband and wife, so even if something happens, it will be a natural thing.
The next morning, the convoy continued on its journey.
Jiang Yuzhu washed up and asked the maid beside her: "Can we reach Gunma County today?"
Today is New Year's Eve, and Jiang Yuzhu is determined not to travel in the suburbs.
Even when she is away from home, she still has to celebrate the New Year. This is her first New Year's Eve since she transmigrated into the book, and Jiang Yuzhu attaches great importance to the sense of ritual.
Hong Xiu replied: "Madam, please look at the map. We are still three hundred miles away from Gunma County."
After leaving the capital, first go to Gunyama Prefecture, which is next to Gunma Prefecture.
Although not far from the capital, the customs of the two counties are relatively closed.
Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. There were indeed some villagers nearby who formed a group and acted recklessly. They built a road, collected tolls, and robbed merchants entering Beijing.
Since there was more than one way to get to Beijing, the villagers did not go too far and the local officials turned a blind eye.
"Madam, how did you get along with the master last night?"
From morning till now, Hong Jin hasn't found a chance to ask, but now she can't help it anymore.
Jiang Yuzhu tried hard to recall how she got along with Xie Zhao. She couldn't remember.
The only image that flashed through his mind was the scene of Xie Zhao with his hair down. His face was exceptionally handsome. Although handsome, he did not have a single bit of femininity.
As for the follow-up, Jiang Yuzhu slept soundly last night after lighting the incense, and even ate crispy roast suckling pig in her dream.
"Don't be too wary of the master, he is a gentleman."
The characters in the book are intact. Jiang Yuzhu trusts Xie Zhao and she never thought that she would be slapped in the face in the near future.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, the carriage traveled all the way to Qunshan County.
The group searched along the way and found only one inn with a vacant room.
The inn is quite old and there is a thin layer of dust in the room.
The waiter was very enthusiastic: "Dear guest, today is New Year's Eve, and the cleaning lady in the inn has gone back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year. If you want to stay here, you will have to bear with it."
There are many inns in Qunshan County, most of which accommodate foreign caravans and are always full.
"The caravans have gone back during the New Year, and there are still pilgrims from other places waiting to worship Buddha. The Big Buddha Temple in our Qunshan County is as famous as the Huguo Temple in the capital."
Liang An went out to ask around and found that most of the nearby inns only had one room left.
Xie Zhao discussed with Jiang Yuzhu, "Madam, how about we stay overnight and set off tomorrow morning?"
It’s New Year’s Eve, time to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.
After a day's ride in the carriage, Jiang Yuzhu was almost exhausted. When she heard that they were going to stop for a rest, she was very supportive.
The most important thing is that there is a vacant guest room, so she doesn't have to live under the same roof with Xie Zhao.
"Guest, there are meat and vegetables in the kitchen. Please feel free to use whatever you want. Our shopkeeper will include the cost of the ingredients in the price."
The man washed his hands and dried them with the towel on his shoulder.
Seeing everyone going upstairs, the waiter gave a sinister smile.
The waiter and the shopkeeper looked at each other, made a gesture, and the fish was hooked.
Today, let Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu never return.
The inn's interior is old, and the red-painted wooden floor is a bit mottled.
There are spider webs in the corners.
"We're not staying in a black shop, are we?"
The cost of one night's accommodation is not cheap, and the environment is really bad.
It is more comfortable to stay in a large carriage than to stay in an inn.
Hongxiu and Hongjin were cleaning when Jiang Yuzhu stopped them: "Wait a minute."
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
Hong Xiu straightened up, but saw Jiang Yuzhu took out a handkerchief and wiped the gap beside the bed.
There was immediately a dark red mark on the white handkerchief.
"The paint on the wooden floor is peeling?"
Hong Jin didn't care. Seeing his wife's serious expression, he hurried over.
Jiang Yuzhu sniffed and found several bloodstains in the cracks of the floor near the head of the bed.
"Madam, this is..."
Hong Xiu and Hong Jin also looked unhappy.
The sanitary conditions of the inn are worrying. Could this room be a haunted house?
"Arterial blood. The person lying here should be dead."
Jiang Yuzhu determined the authenticity of the tunnel based on her years of experience.
It is rare for murders to occur in inns. Generally, such inns are considered unlucky and will no longer have any business.
It makes sense that other inns were full and only this one had rooms available.
Jiang Yuzhu thought about it carefully and realized that something was wrong with the waiter as well.
"Madam, what should we do? Tell the master to leave the inn?"
There were no guest rooms nearby, and the two maids were a little undecided.
This matter is of great importance and Xie Zhao must be informed.
Jiang Yuzhu lowered her voice and said to Hong Xiu, "Go talk to Liang An, don't show any abnormality."
When you go out, you have to be extremely careful.
The inn where the murder took place is just unlucky. If this is a shady inn, everyone’s lives would be in danger and they would be in trouble tonight!
