The sound of padlocks and chains colliding was heard outside the door, and the door was locked again.
Qiao Ruolan, whose hands were free again, couldn't wait to tear off the rag from her mouth, slapped the door panel frantically, and shouted hysterically: "Let me out! Let me out quickly! Do you know who I am? I'm... …”
"Big sister..."
A childish girl's voice suddenly sounded behind Qiao Ruolan. Only then did Qiao Ruolan feel a lot of rustling noises behind her. It seemed that there were many people hiding behind her, no, or in this room.
Qiao Ruolan's heart suddenly lifted, she took a deep breath and turned around fearfully.
Behind her, less than a foot away from her, stood a dense crowd of more than a dozen people, men and women. However, these people were all children, and the oldest one seemed to be no more than ten years old.
Everyone has a sallow complexion, thin skin, ragged clothes, and their bodies are so dirty that it looks like they can rub out several layers of mud.
A round-faced girl stepped forward and reassured: "Sister, it's okay. As long as you obey here, you will have steamed buns to eat!"
"Don't come close to me!" Qiao Ruolan frowned, with a look of disgust on her face. She wanted to take a few steps back, but the door panel was right behind her.
The girl thought Qiao Ruolan was afraid, so she gave her a kind smile, revealing a pair of cute dimples, and said: "Sister, don't be afraid. Although we can't go out, no one will hit us or let us go. We are hungry. As long as you obey, nothing will happen."
The children looked at Qiao Ruolan without blinking with their bright black eyes, as if they were saying, it's okay.
Qiao Ruolan leaned against the door panel behind her and looked around. She saw that there was no furniture in the room. There were straw mats spread everywhere on the floor, which was obviously a place for children to sleep. In the corner, there were There was a toilet with peeling paint, and a stench came faintly from that direction... Could it be that he wanted her to use the toilet here?
Qiao Ruolan stared, her vision went dark, and she fell down softly.
Nightmare, all of this must be fake!
"Big sister..."
Amidst the girl's nervous shouting, Qiao Ruolan lost consciousness and knew nothing.
What she didn't even know was that there were two people lurking around outside Zhuangzi, always observing what was going on inside Zhuangzi. At this time, after the two met behind Zhuangzi, one of them continued to stay, while the other hurried to Luoyue City.
Things changed, Miss Qiao Biao accidentally broke into Zhuangzi and was caught by the people in Zhuangzi!
Hey!
The secret guard sighed silently in his heart. When he saw Qiao Ruolan appearing nearby, he originally thought about knocking him unconscious with a palm, then bundled the bundle and threw it into the back alley of Qiao's house, but the people from Zhuangzi happened to appear. Now, he can only hide...
However, something went wrong, and I had to report it to my master.
The black horse galloped into the city and arrived at Zhennan Palace before noon... But Nangong Yue happened to be not in the palace. After Zhu Xing got the report, he hurriedly rode to Huanxi Pavilion.
Today is the day when Master Shi will discuss piano in Huanxi Pavilion.
Huanxi Pavilion has two buildings. The building facing the street in front is a normal place for entertaining guests. The room in the backyard is often borrowed by ladies and girls to hold various small banquets. Occasionally, Huanxi Pavilion The owner of the pavilion, Mrs. Jiang, would also preside over some elegant events such as painting competitions and calligraphy appreciation, just like today's piano discussion.
Although Huanxi Pavilion is still welcoming guests today, the backyard has been temporarily blocked and guests are closed behind closed doors. Only a few distinguished guests who received the post sent by Mrs. Jiang can enter to discuss piano with Shi Qingya and everyone.
The piano discussion was held in the lobby on the first floor of the back room. Mrs. Jiang specially rearranged the lobby to make it more elegant and quiet.
At this moment, several windows on the north side of the lobby facing the courtyard behind are wide open. There is a pair of white-bottomed blue and white official kiln vases on the high flower table in the corner, with a few freshly blooming camellias inserted. There is a rosewood xylophone in the hall. There is a guqin on the table. Next to the piano table, there was a huge brass incense burner. The aroma filled the entire hall, making those who heard it calm down.
A pair of bare hands, as beautiful as flawless white jade, were playing on a Jiaowei Qin. Sitting behind the Qin was a woman who looked to be in her forties, wearing a moon-white willow-branch patterned gown. She was pure and elegant, but The most eye-catching thing is her pair of bare hands, which are more delicate and slender than a girl's. What attracts the most attention is the sound of the piano flowing from her fingers. It is clear, melodious and bright, echoing in the lobby, affecting everyone. The heartstrings, everyone listened attentively...
When the bare hands touched the strings for the last time, the sound of the piano stopped leisurely, and the hall was silent for a while. After a while, a lady clapped her hands and praised: "What a great song "Shen Hua Yin", it is well-deserved. Ah!"
Amidst the murmurs of appreciation, Baihui, who had gone out at some point, quietly came back. She whispered to Nangong Yue, and Nangong Yue followed her to a private seat on the second floor under the pretext of changing her clothes.
In the private seats, only Nangong Yue and Baihui were present. Because this matter was of great importance, everyone else was sent out, leaving Que'er to guard outside and not allow anyone to approach.
"Prince Princess, the secret guard reported back that Miss Qiao Biao fell into the hands of Boss Jin more than an hour ago..." Baihui said the key points first, and then recounted the whole story of the secret guard's report in a straightforward manner, without any Contemptuous, not critical... For a while, she was the only voice in the booth.
Then she presented a beaded hairpin picked up by a secret guard.
It has been several days since Qiao Ruolan disappeared from Shuyao Women's House. It was related to Qiao Ruolan's reputation. King Zhennan just sent people to inquire secretly. Nangong Yue was also happy to just pretend that she didn't know and save trouble. Who would have thought that Qiao Ruolan would actually Did you run into the "wolf's den" by yourself? ! Nangong Yue's expression was a little complicated, and she lowered her eyes in thought.
"Baihui..." Nangong Yue seemed to have made a decision, raised her head, and gave some instructions to Baihui.
Bai Hui responded solemnly, and then hurriedly retreated.
Nangong Yue and Que'er went downstairs again, their expressions unclear.
After learning about the existence of Zhuangzi from Xiaoya, Nangong Yue sent secret guards to investigate around Luoyue City. It took several days to find the inconspicuous Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi is not big. On the surface, it looks like an ordinary Zhuangzi. It grows some crops and raises a few chickens and ducks. There are not many people coming and going on weekdays, and it is very remote.
But after the investigation, the secret guard reported back that there were more than a dozen children about the same age as Xiaoya being raised in this village. Of course, they were not raising them for nothing, but they were raised as medicine people who test medicines!
Just like she uses mice to test medicine, this Zhuangzi uses humans!
After Nangong Yue learned about this incident, she always wanted to save the children who were locked up inside. However, because Boss Jin’s matter involved the Southern Xinjiang Army and millions of people in Southern Xinjiang, she did not dare and could not easily alert the snake. .
Now Qiao Ruolan gave her a chance.
The sound of a piano sounded again in the lobby, melodious and clear, like the fragrance of flowers blowing through my heart again and again...
This is...
Nangong Yue's heart moved. When she walked down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, a smile was already on her lips.
Xiao Fei, who was originally sitting next to her, is no longer in her own seat.
Nangong Yue sat down and looked into the hall. She saw Xiao Fei, who was wearing a lake blue embroidered jacket with pomegranate flowers, sitting behind the rosewood piano case, looking down attentively. The long white fingers of the Jiaowei Qin in front of me are skillfully stroking the strings, and the sound is smooth and sweet, as beautiful as a picture of a lady...
The smile on Nangong Yue's lips grew stronger and stronger. She put aside the previous disturbances and allowed herself to be immersed in the beautiful and familiar sound of the piano for the time being.
After a while, the sound of the piano gradually became louder and louder, beginning to reach a climax, and everyone's emotions were also affected... At this moment, a noise came from the direction of the courtyard at the door.
Many ladies and girls who had closed their eyes to listen opened their eyes and frowned slightly.
As the host, Mrs. Jiang looked even more unhappy. She winked at a middle-aged woman next to her, and the woman immediately moved forward.
In the courtyard, a woman guarding the door of the back room was arguing with a maid in Tsing Yi holding a red post in her hand. Behind the maid stood a girl wearing an emerald-green silk trousers.
"Why can't my girl go in?!" The maid in green tried to push the woman away, "Is it possible that this post is still fake?"
The mother-in-law was sweating profusely and explained: "Girl, although your post is true, the piano performance inside has already begun. Mr. Shi is playing the piano inside. It is really inappropriate to interrupt rashly at this time. Right..."
"You said Mr. Shi is playing the piano inside?!" The girl in green clothes suddenly spoke up and interrupted the old woman sarcastically. She saw that the girl had a face with oval seeds, eyes like autumn water, and a beautiful appearance, but that There was a hint of arrogance on her fair little face, making her seem unapproachable.
