The teahouse that Rong Zhen brought Su Tang to is also one of the properties of the Rong family.

The beauty of this teahouse is that it is exceptionally clean in this busy city.

When he first entered the door, Su Tang didn't see the difference between this place and other teahouses, and he was surprised when Rong Zhen led him out through the back door.

Behind the teahouse is a bamboo forest, covering a stone path. Rong Zhen led him around and saw another world.

Su Tang couldn't believe that this fairyland-like place was actually built on the busiest street in the capital, which really reached the highest level of arty.

In front of them is a small room made of bamboo, the decoration is extremely simple, there is only a picture of ink bamboo painted by everyone before hanging, and there is a table and two chairs.

Rong Zhen raised his hand, "Master Su please."

Su Tang nodded towards Rongzhen, "Thank you, Lord," and he followed Rongzhen into the bamboo house.

As soon as they were seated, a little boy with two buns came in, without saying a word, he offered a pot of tea and two small cups, and left.

Su Tang said, "Where did the Lord find this elegant place?"

"Fate," Rong Zhen smiled.

Rong Zhen picked up the handle of the teapot and poured tea into Su Tang's small cup, "If you like it, you can come here often. The boy in front will remember you when he sees that I brought you here."

"Here," Su Tang pursed his lips, "I'm just a small seventh-rank official, I'm afraid a month's salary won't be worth this pot of tea."

"Master Su's words are out of line." Rong Zhen poured himself a cup of tea, pinching the edge of the teacup with two fingers, "Since I invited you to drink tea, I will pay for the tea in the future, my lord Just come anyway.”

Su Tang touched the tip of his nose with the knuckles of his index finger, feeling a little embarrassed, "Grandpa, I'm afraid you're not just looking for tea."

"Yes," Rong Zhen admitted generously, "It's not easy for me to ask questions at the court, but now I ask you to explain clearly, why do you think that what happened last night was deliberately done?"

Su Tang smiled lightly and breathed a sigh of relief, "Yesterday, after my father-in-law and Master Yang left, I went to find a few people who participated in this event and asked them one by one."

"According to them, each float was equipped with fireworks, and they were originally intended to be set off together. Since the number of guns in each float is the same, there is no reason that only one should catch fire."

"Maybe someone was not careful?" Rong Zhen asked.

"I also thought of this. Didn't there be two dead people at that time? I asked them. They were from other provinces. They just arrived in the capital and wanted to work part-time. And their job was originally to watch fireworks, and there was nothing wrong with them." Difficulty." Su Tang went on to say, "Not only do I think this whole thing is man-made, but I also think that these two dead people set the fire."

"It makes sense," Rong Zhen nodded. These two people were the closest to the fire, and they were the most suspected of arson. He raised his lips, "You mean that these two people wanted to commit suicide, and they ran to a crowded place?"

"No, I don't think they did it on their own initiative. There must be someone behind it."

Rong Zhen saw that Su Tang's analysis was very accurate, and felt that his vision was correct, and asked, "Then who do you think it could be?"

"This..." Su Tang was also very measured, knowing what he could say and what he couldn't, he pursed his lips and smiled, "My lord doesn't know, so how can I know."

Rong Zhen nodded, and there was something in his words, "Yes, my lord has no choice but to understand."

Su Tang could hear the derogatory meaning in Rong Zhen's words, but he still couldn't express it, "Is there anything else, my lord?"

"Why is your lord always so cautious? Can't I have a little chat with you?" Rong Zhen picked up the teacup and sniffed it in front of his nose, "Although the governor of Jingzhou is a small official, he is very useful. It is definitely not an ordinary person to be in this position, did you pass the imperial examination, or did you get the shadow from your ancestors?"

"Isn't he a Jinshi three years ago, his ranking was very low, and the father-in-law may not have paid attention to it." Su Tang replied.

"But my lord is much better at being an official than the champion." Rong Zhen didn't forget to mock Yang Jin at this time, and he thought of something again, "You saw me and Yang Jin last night, why didn't you say anything about it today? "

"The Empress Dowager didn't ask me who I saw last night as long as I reported the casualties. What's more, last night was so lively and there were so many dignitaries and dignitaries in it. I can't name them all."

Rong Zhen liked Su Tang even more, and he pointed his finger at the table, "Since it is said that I brought you to enjoy tea, if you don't drink a cup, you will not live up to the purpose of this trip."

Only then did Su Tang pick up the teacup. Previously he was too concerned with dealing with Rong Zhen and didn't worry about this green tea. When he smelled it now, he realized that this tea was exactly the kind of Longjing tea he used to drink in his mansion.

He was stunned, he had been showing off for a long time just now, but Rong Zhen had already figured out all the details about himself.

He raised his eyes and saw Rong really staring at him and smiling, and felt even more uneasy. He regretted that he had come to this game without thinking too much. The person in front of him was not just a young man in his 20s, but a man under [-] people. Honorable Lord Rong.

Su Tang drank the tea and lowered his head, "Thank you, Lord, for your hospitality. I suddenly remembered that there is still some work to do in Jingzhou Mansion."

"I understand," Rong Zhen stood up, Su Tang quickly stood up, Rong Zhen walked in front, slowly, "This Longjing tea is not bad, but I hope you have the opportunity to taste a kind of black tea I have hidden .”

"Okay." Su Tang also lost most of his aura just now, and nodded submissively.

Rong Zhen chatted with him some irrelevant things again, and when they walked out of the gate, they just saw Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice walking in.

Seeing Rong Zhen and Su Tang standing together, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice hesitated a little, and bowed to Rong Zhen, "Grandpa."

Su Tang quickly arched his hands, "Master Shangshu."

Minister of the Ministry of Justice narrowed his eyes, "I didn't expect the two to be friends?"

"Your Excellency thinks too much. Master Su and I just met by chance and drank tea together." Rong Zhen calmly looked at Su Tang, "Do you think so, Master Su?"

"Yes." Su Tang knew that he couldn't explain what he said at this time, and the look in the eyes of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment clearly determined that he was also from Rong Guogong's faction, and he was still a humble official.

Sure enough, the Minister of Criminal Affairs gave him a contemptuous look, "Your Excellency is quite elegant, and it is rare to see honest officials receiving salaries in this teahouse."

"Then why are you here?" Su Tang asked suddenly.

His sharp eyes startled Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, who cleared his throat, "I came here for, for..."

"No matter what the reason is, the teahouse is just for drinking tea. Why are the two adults so entangled?" Rong Zhen became a peacemaker, "Let's go to our own things."

"My lord is right," Minister of the Ministry of Punishment felt guilty, and walked into the teahouse first.

Su Tang was not very happy in his heart, he saluted to Rong Zhen and left in a hurry.

Rong Zhen raised his eyes, looked at the second floor where the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment had ascended, and called a servant.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late," the Minister of the Ministry of Justice apologized first. With his status, he was so polite, but the person sitting opposite him was either a dragon or a phoenix. "I just met Rong Guogong and Jingzhou Governor below , I didn't expect them to have colluded together, but this also shows that this place is no longer safe..."

But the man ignored him, just opened the window and stared at Rongzhen who was walking on the road.
