Detective Case of Black Belly

Chapter 67: Invitation

The apology trip that day was surprisingly calm, of course, this calm was for Fu Qingkai and Wu Yuyan.The two of them sat aside to see Li Qian blushing, frowning, scolding Chen Quan.If there is another plate of melon seeds on hand, it will almost catch up with the theater at the teahouse.

Maybe it's because Chen Quan's dejected look is too ridiculous, and he doesn't look like a villain with ulterior motives.Li Qian couldn't express any monstrous anger, but he felt a little uncomfortable after asking others to do something for him for no reason.

It was also at this time that Fu Qingkai knew that Chen Quan and Li Qian had known each other before.When he was in the academy, Chen Quan always followed Li Qian.When Li Qian was painting, he would grind the ink for him. Li Qian was picky about the paints, so he sent people to other places to find them. In the end, Li Qian was not used to painting without him by his side.

Later, Li Qian went outside to find a famous teacher. The mountains were high and the water was far away. After several letters, the two lost contact.According to Chen Quan himself, this time when Li Qian came back, he didn't even say hello to him. He took the initiative to come to the mansion to ask for an interview, and said that he was infected with the cold and it was inconvenient to see guests.

Two days later, he learned from his friend that Li Qianming was going back to the banquet in the evening, Chen Quan didn't know how he had offended Li Qian, he was filled with worry and fear, and also felt a little angry.

"I recently read some novels about gods, gods and ghosts, and I came up with this idea when my brain got hot. I didn't want to trick you into drawing it, but I wanted to set up a game to amuse you." Chen Quan called Li Qian Don't dare to look up.

"When I first came back from the outside, I was indeed caught in the cold, so it was right to close the door and not see guests! Later, I got a new good painting, indulged in it for a while, and forgot about the world. My parents were afraid that I would always push away the guests. It was impolite to say that I went out, and let the servants say that I have not recovered from the cold. Later, my parents saw that I was not looking good at home all day, so they accepted Brother Qian's invitation for me. I only found out that day!" Li Qian Yi finished speaking, paused, and took a breath.

"But I did neglect you. It was my fault." Li Qian changed the subject, Chen Quan quietly raised half of his eyes to look at Li Qian, and asked Li Qian to slap him back. "But! You can't tease me like this!"

Fu Qing saw that the two of them were more and more bickering, so she took a look at Li Qian's breathing space, and said that she had something to do first.

After leaving the door of Li's residence, Fu Qing raised his forehead and said with a smile: "It would be quite interesting if all the cases encountered in the future are ridiculous like this."

Before Wu Yuyan answered, he heard Fu Qing say again: "Unfortunately, most of them are disgusting."

As soon as Wu Yuyan heard his tone, he knew that he was reminded of the embarrassing thing about Cangchun Pavilion again.

"Didn't you ask Wang Yong to give me the information about the part of the wharf he was in charge of?" Now that Fu Qingkai mentioned it, Wu Yuyan continued on this topic.

"Huh? Is there something strange?" Fu Qing held the rein loosely in his hand, and both of them let the horse walk slowly.

"It's not strange, but I found something. I don't know if it has something to do with this case?" Pifeng walked recently, and I don't know what's wrong. Qing Kai's legs should also be rubbed.

"Let's talk. Right now we have nothing on hand. Even if it's a useless discovery, it's better than standing still." Fu Qing sat on the horseback, and someone who recognized them passed by from time to time. And say hello to both of them.

Because he still had to talk about these things, Wu Yuyan pulled the reins, and Pifeng walked towards the side path, followed by Mizao.

"I am in charge of a part of the wharf, so I know that the company has a lot of warehouses at the wharf, and I also know that he has a lot of cargo ships, but there are many returns. It can barely be said to supply the needs of the restaurant, because the Shen family is still there. There are several painting boats, and I can’t measure the cost of eating and drinking. But after looking at the parts managed by Wang Yong, I found that a large part of the warehouses are registered under the names of relatives of the Shen family, even the names of the old servants. There is also one below."

"How do you know that they are relatives of the Shen family?" Fu Qing asked while sitting on the horseback, tilting his head, "You won't memorize the family tree, right?"

Wu Yuyan looked a little embarrassed, his eyes rolled up and down in a circle, but he didn't look at anything. "Before, I saw him sticking to Qiaomei all day long, and I was worried, so, I went to check."

"You checked the [-]th generation of your ancestors, right?" Fu Qingkai was quite aware of the importance Wu Yuyan attached to his sister.

"As far as this matter is concerned, I haven't checked carefully enough." Wu Yuyan said, "His warehouses are so large, if they are all full, his mere restaurants and picturesque boats can't be consumed at all! If not, those goods Is there any dust in the warehouse?"

"It's not necessarily that there is something strange. I heard that the raw materials for the vegetarian dishes of the pilgrims in Cang'an Temple are also provided by Mantangcai. It is said that their abbot doesn't care about worldly affairs. These mundane things can save one step. "Fu Qingkai said, "Maybe there are some businesses that we don't know about?"

"It's possible. I don't know why. Whenever I encounter the matter of Shen Tangsheng, I tend to think of the worst." Wu Yuyan rarely admitted this.

"You still say it! You just can't see that people like Qiaomei. Speaking of which, doesn't Xiliu also like Qiaomei? Why don't you speak sarcasticly to others?" Fu Qing rubbed her feet on the side of the road. A nameless wild flower, half a piece of bright yellow petals stuck to his shoe.

"Xi Liu, what should I say? Huh? You can see it too." Wu Yuyan looked at Fu Qingkai, only to see his complacent expression of 'who am I'.

"He looks slick, and he doesn't look serious all day long, but in fact he is very self-restraining and has a bottom line. That's why I gave him the most chaotic piece of land at the beginning, because it's better to give it to anyone. Don't worry." The sun warmed his back, Wu Yuyan straightened his back, shook his head from side to side, and loosened his neck.It fell into Fu Qing's eyes, which was exactly the same as Wu Jin's movement of shaking his hair after taking a bath.

"Furthermore, when he was by Qiaomei's side, he was very protective of her, and he was very measured. He never violated the rules. And he was like this from childhood to adulthood. I can see it." Wu Yuyan said.

"But it is precisely because of this that Qiaomei didn't notice it." Fu Qingkai was anxious for Huang Xiliu several times.

"Forget it, don't care what these juniors do with so many things, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Wu Yuyan assumed the posture of a rare old man, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and trotted against the wind.

"You are a real person. You are also the eighteenth generation of Zha's ancestors, and you are also the one who stood by and watched!" Before Fu Qingkai could react, Mizao had already happily followed the white horse in front.

Sure enough, one cannot tell people behind their backs, as soon as Wu Yuyan and Fu Qingkai returned to the yamen, they saw Wu Qiaomei sitting on the stone bench in the yard, idly shaking her handkerchief.Huang Xiliu moved a small bench and sat at her feet, cracking melon seeds. Qiaomei must have taught her a lesson, and there was a dustpan beside her, and she obediently threw the melon seeds into it.

"Qiaomei? You're so good, come to see brother?" Fu Qing smiled and sat down on the stone bench next to Wu Qiaomei.

Wu Qiao smiled, her two pointed canine teeth looked very sly, thinking of her mother always telling her to smile without showing her teeth, she pursed her lips again. "Come and see sister-in-law, can't you?"

Fu Qing turned red from neck to ears.

Huang Xiliu gave a snort, couldn't hold back his laughter, and asked Wu Yuyan to carry him aside for a good 'practice'.

"Okay, brother, don't bother Xiliu. You are living in the yamen now. I came to see you and give you Shen Tangsheng's invitation by the way." Wu Yuyan didn't respond yet, Huang Xiliu A carp straightened up and jumped up from the ground.

"What does this kid want to do again!" Huang Xiliu patted the dust off his body, with an expression on his face that he had eaten leftovers from a sour meal.

"I'm also not sure what Shen Tangsheng wants to do." Wu Qiaomei pointed to a piece of white ash that Huang Xiliu had missed.

"How do you say that?" Fu Qing asked.

Wu Qiaomei's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, her eyes fell on her hands folded on her lap, and then on the embroidered shoes under her feet.

"I couldn't feel it before, but I noticed it more and more later. He always asked me about my brother, what he liked and what he didn't like, and he always asked about Brother Fu. When I said Brother Fu, what did he say?" It's good, he has a bad face, and he can't hide it."

Wu Qiao raised her eyebrows and pouted, she was still a little girl after all, after saying this, her face was more or less aggrieved.

After hearing what his sister said, Wu Yuyan stood in front of her at a loss, not knowing how to speak.

Fu Qingkai stayed where he was.

Huang Xiliu didn't stay in a daze, although he was furious in his heart, but on the outside he was scratching his head and didn't know what to say.

"Really?" Wu Yuyan broke the silence with difficulty.

Wu Qiaomei nodded.Wu Yuyan squatted in front of her, squeezed her hand on her lap, "I'm sorry."

"Brother! What are you talking about?!" Wu Qiaomei's expression became even more unhappy, "Why do you have to apologize for this? Waste of our brother-sister relationship."

"What Qiaomei said is, Brother Wu, don't say that again." Huang Xiliu also said beside him, "I'm going to deal with this kid right now!"

"Stop!" With Wu Qiaomei's words, Huang Xiliu stopped running, "Come back."

Wu Qiaomei looked at her elder brother, then at Fu Qingkai, "I can't care about this matter now, it's your business." Wu Qiaomei nodded at the invitation on the stone table.

Looking at this invitation, Wu Yuyan was upset and wanted to vomit, and was about to take it and destroy it, but Fu Qing pinched the invitation with one finger.

"Qingkai?" Wu Yuyan ignored his sister, "Are you angry?"

"Why are you angry? You are the same as me, and you are also thinking about Shen Tangsheng today. I just thought, let's end this matter." Fu Qingkai picked up the invitation and unfolded it.
