Start Six Maids

The next moment, Yang Qianli, the guard of Baishi City, walked into the inn.

"Ha ha···"

"Master Chu, did you sleep well last night?"

Yang Qianli looked at Chu Ci and waved his hands in greeting.

Chu Ci looked at Yang Qianli with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Master Yang is joking, I was assassinated just now, do you think I can sleep well?"

"Eh..." Yang Qianli's expression was a little stiff, and he said, "Master Chu, please rest assured!"

"The lower officials must bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible!"

Chu Ci patted Yang Qianli on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Then please trouble Master Yang!"

Yang Qianli twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a dry smile, "Hehe, no trouble, no trouble!"

The drunk Taoist came out suddenly, looked at Yang Qianli and said, "The poor Taoist knows the murderer behind the scenes!"

"what?!"

Yang Qianli's face changed slightly when he heard the words, "How did the Taoist priest know? Who is the murderer?"

The drunk Taoist raised his finger and pointed around, and said aloud, "The murderer is here!"

Yang Qianli's legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"The Taoist priest was joking, how could the murderer be here?"

Yang Qianli was afraid that the drunken Taoist would say something more, so he hurriedly added, "Master Chu, I have already held a banquet in the government office, please honor me!"

The drunk Taoist wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Ci.

Chu Ci stared at Yang Qianli for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Okay!"

call···

Yang Qianli heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, deliberately showing a smile on his face and said, "Master Chu, please!"

"You too, Daoist!"

Baishi City Government Office.

Chu Ci, Leng Ruxue, and the drunk Taoist walked into the government office.

In the hall of the government office, a table of banquets has been set up at this moment.

Yang Qianli greeted warmly, "Lord Chu, Daoist Priest, and this girl, please sit down!"

Chu Ci and Zui Taoist sat down side by side, and Leng Ruxue stood beside Chu Ci.

Yang Qianli picked up the jug, and graciously filled a glass of wine for Chu Ci and Taoist Zui.

Yang Qianli picked up his wine glass, looked at Chu Ci and Zui Taoist and said with a smile, "It's a blessing for me that Master Chu and the Taoist priest can come to Baishi City!"

"Come, drink this cup to the brim!"

After Yang Qianli finished speaking, he raised his head and finished.

"Dry!"

When the drunk Taoist saw the fine wine, he raised his head and poured it down.

"Master, this drink is poisonous!"

In Chu Ci's ear, Leng Ruxue's soft voice suddenly came.

"This poison is a compound poison. As long as you drink the wine in the glass and eat the fish on the table, you will be poisoned!"

"However, there is no harm in eating one kind alone."

"This poison should be from the black viper!"

Chu Ci nodded imperceptibly, expressing that he had heard Leng Ruxue's warning.

After Yang Qianli finished drinking the wine in his glass, seeing that Chu Ci was still holding the wine glass, his expression changed slightly.

"Master Chu, why don't you drink? Could it be that the wine is not to your liking?"

Chu Ci chuckled, "No, I was thinking about writing just now."

"Done!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Chapter 258 Hongmen Banquet!

Yang Qianli saw that Chu Ci picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, a happy smile appeared on his face.

"Ha ha···"

"Master Chu is so proud!"

Yang Qianli poured a glass of wine for Chu Ci graciously again, "Master Chu, I would like to offer you another glass!"

"I wish Mr. Chu this trip to the south to investigate the case will go smoothly!"

Hearing this, Chu Ci held down the wine glass, and looked at Yang Qianli with a half-smile, "Master Yang, how did you know that I went south this time to investigate the case?"

"Ah, this..." Yang Qianli's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were slightly vacillating.

"Some time ago, the murder case of Prince Panyang's Mansion was full of uproar. This time Master Chu came to inspect the former site of Prince Panyang's Mansion. That's why the lower officials guessed that His Excellency went south to investigate the case!"

Yang Qianli racked his brains and finally thought of a reason.

"Is it?"

Chu Ci stared at Yang Qianli deeply, directly making Yang Qianli feel scared.

After a while, Chu Ci chuckled, "Hehe..."

"Master Yang has such a quick mind, you guessed it all!"

Yang Qianli's stiff expression slowly melted away when he heard the words, "Heh, heh... Your lord is just joking, I'm just a little clever."

"Master Chu eats vegetables!"

Yang Qianli was afraid that Chu Ci would continue to question, so he hurriedly motioned for Chu Ci to move his chopsticks.

"This is a dish made by the top chef in the city, and the taste is absolutely authentic!"

"Okay!" Chu Ci said with a smile, "Then you have to taste it."

Yang Qianli nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile, "That's not it!"

"Master Chu, you are in the right place. There are countless delicacies in Baishi City!"

"Take this vinegar-pepper mountain carp as an example. This dish is the most famous dish in Baishi City!"

Yang Qianli pointed to a plate of exquisite dishes on the table with his chopsticks, and introduced, "This vinegar and pepper mountain carp is not only exquisite in workmanship, but also in materials!"

"The top-quality vinegar-pepper mountain carp is made of carp and sansho that are bred in the unique mountain spring of Baishan, and the cooking of the master chef with decades of experience can be described as extremely delicious!"

"Lord Chu?" Yang Qianli looked at Chu Ci, and said with a smile on his face, "Would you like to try this dish?"

Chu Ci didn't speak, and the drunk Taoist beside him couldn't bear it any longer.

The thief has been staring at this plate of vinegar and pepper mountain carp all the time, wishing to taste it with chopsticks immediately.

However, the protagonist of this banquet was Chu Ci, and the drunk Taoist couldn't move his chopsticks first, so he could only look at Chu Ci eagerly.

Facing Yang Qianli's invitation, Chu Ci put down his chopsticks instead.

"Master Chu, what is this..." Yang Qianli was a little confused, and asked suspiciously, "Is this dish not to your liking?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said, "No, this dish looks very good!"

"Then why don't you move your chopsticks?"

Yang Qianli is a little anxious now, he only drinks alcohol and does not eat fish, but he will not be poisoned!

Chu Ci looked at Yang Qianli and suddenly laughed, "Master Yang, I forgot to tell you that I will get rubella after eating fish!"

"Especially after drinking alcohol, the symptoms are more serious!"

"So this fish, I'll just watch Mr. Yang eat it!"

Rubella, which is now called an allergic reaction.

When Yang Qianli heard this, he was dumbfounded.

"Ah?! Rubella?"

Yang Qianli didn't expect Chuci to use this excuse, and now he can't even persuade him!

"What about this Taoist priest? How about you try it, Taoist priest?"

Yang Qianli looked at the drunken Taoist at the side and gave a suggestion.

Chu Ci raised his hand to interrupt Yang Qianli, "The Taoist priest can't eat fish either, and he will get rubella after eating it."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci turned to look at the drunken Taoist, "Taoist, is that so?"

The drunken Taoist looked at Chu Ci's slightly profound eyes, and immediately understood what was going on, nodded in agreement, "That's right, poor Taoists can't eat fish."

In order to prove the authenticity of his words, the drunk Taoist shifted his target, picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and began to chew.

Yang Qianli looked at Chu Ci, then at Zui Taoist, knowing that all his plans were in vain.

"Master Chu, are you trying other dishes?"

Yang Qianli forced a smile on his face and motioned Chuci to try other dishes.

"Okay."

Chu Ci nodded, picked up the chopsticks again, and stopped suddenly.

Looking at Yang Qianli, Chu Ci showed a smile on his face, "Master Yang, this vinegar-pepper mountain carp can't be wasted, you can eat it all!"

Yang Qianli's expression froze, "I, I can't eat!"

Chu Ci chuckled, "Why? Could Lord Yang get rubella after eating fish?"

Yang Qianli nodded subconsciously, "Yes!"

"I also get rubella, so I can't eat this dish!"

After Yang Qianli finished speaking, he hurriedly greeted the servant who was serving beside him, "Hurry up and serve this dish!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The servant quickly brought the vinegar-pepper carp off the table, and Yang Qianli secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Lord Chu, Taoist priest, hurry up and eat your vegetables."

A smile appeared on Yang Qianli's face again, and he greeted eagerly.

It seemed like a lively meal, but in fact, the banquet was full of vigilance for an hour.

Chu Ci and Zui Taoist bid farewell, and Yang Qianli sent them all the way to the gate of the government office.

Standing at the door, Yang Qianli cupped his hands towards Chu Ci and said, "Master Chu, please rest assured, I must hurry up and find the real culprit who assassinated you!"

Chu Ci chuckled lightly, and said, "Then I will trouble Mrs. Yang, and leave!"

After finishing speaking, Chu Ci left the government office with Leng Ruxue and the drunk Taoist.

Yang Qianli squinted his eyes and watched Chu Ci and the others disappear, and then returned to the government office with a gloomy expression.

Chu Ci stopped after walking two streets.

"Ru Xue!"

Chu Ci greeted Leng Ruxue.

"Go to the government office to see how Yang Qianli reacts!"

"Yes!"

Leng Ruxue nodded, and disappeared in place in a flash.

Chu Ci looked at the drunk Taoist and said, "Master Taoist, let's go back to the inn and wait for news!"

On the street, Chu Ci walked side by side with the drunk Taoist.
