I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

When Cui Tao visited Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi stood beside him with a gloomy expression, a bit angry.

Before coming, the government official of Kaifeng Mansion had ventilated with her in advance, telling her that the two people in the room quarreled fiercely at first, and finally ended the quarrel with Fan Zhongyan's angry cry.

Fan Zhongyan asked Cui Tao a series of questions.For example, whether she and Han Qi are regarded as the same party, whether she relied on the Queen Mother's favor, abused her power to vent her personal anger, and so on.Cui Tao answered one by one fluently, without any flaws that could be caught.

"I heard that you and Han Tuiguan are already engaged, so the two of you work in the same yamen, is it a relationship between a superior and a subordinate, or a relationship between a fiancée? If one of them makes a mistake, will the other party deal with it strictly, or help make up for it? Do you know that because of the special relationship between the two of you, it will bring a lot of trouble to the Kaifeng Mansion?"

"Everything has pros and cons, whether there are more harms or more benefits depends on who and what.

When Fan Mixiao talked about us, he only talked about the disadvantages that do not exist. Is it too hasty?

Han Tuiguan and I have always followed the rules and regulations in handling cases in Kaifeng Mansion.Together, we can solve many complex cases faster and better.Because of this, we discovered the tacit understanding between each other and came together. "

"No wonder you and Han Zhigui came together, so you both have eloquent mouths!"

After Cui Tao heard the words, she dissatisfiedly asked Fan Zhongyan if she listened to her seriously.

Fan Zhong sneered, and looked coldly at Han Qi.It seemed to be mocking Han Qi, showing him how ridiculous his fiancée's behavior was.

"Whether it's right or wrong, it's not that you and the two of you just talk about it. Otherwise, the officials wouldn't have sent me to take over the case. During my thorough investigation, neither of you is allowed to stay in Kaifeng Mansion, and you can't Have contact with anyone in Kaifeng Mansion. Colleagues, yamen servants, petty officials, and sanitation personnel are not allowed."

"Why?" Cui Tao asked dissatisfiedly, "If you can't get in touch with the officials in Kaifeng Mansion, how should you investigate the next case? Who will be responsible for the delay?"

"I have accepted the imperial decree, and I am fully responsible for taking over the case! According to my order, it is an order!

Cui Qiniang, you actually have the face to say that you obey the rules in Kaifeng Mansion?Look at your current attitude, how rampant it is, but I don't know who gave you the habit—"

"Secretary Fan is going too far!" Han Qi snapped.

Cui Tao was startled, this was the first time she heard Han Qi speak so loudly since she knew Han Qi.He has always been dignified and gentle, even when he is in a hurry, he never loses his gentlemanly and refined attitude.

"If you two keep yourselves in order, obediently obey the arrangement, and accept the review, there will be nothing excessive."

Fan Zhongyan asked Han Qi to go out first, and he wanted to question Cui Tao alone. Of course, this so-called private questioning was also accompanied by documents and others, not two people alone.He also clearly explained the reason why he drove Han Qi away: first, he tabooed the relationship between the two of them, so that Han Qi would not defend Cui Tao and speak for her;

Han Qi didn't move at first, he looked at Cui Tao worriedly, and only left after being urged by Fan Zhongyan again.

Half an hour later, Cui Tao hurried out of the house with a bad complexion, and went straight to the stable to meet Han Qi.

Han Qi stood in front of the car with hands behind his back, wearing a crimson official gown as usual, and the gown was neatly trimmed without any wrinkles.Everyone wears thick clothes in winter, and if you don't pay attention, you will make yourself short, thick and fat.Han Qi was different. He was tall and slender. He just stood there silently, standing tall and straight like a cedar tree.

The whistling north wind was mixed with a very slight rustling sound, and it was difficult to distinguish without listening carefully.

Cui Tao stopped quietly, glanced behind him from the corner of the eye, and turned to look at Han Qi's back all the time. After hesitating a few times, she walked to Han Qi's side and took his hand.

Only then did Han Qi notice Cui Tao's arrival, and looked at her suspiciously.

"Anyway, we can't do things in Kaifeng Mansion, why don't we go out and relax?"

Cui Tao smiled, but forced a smile, everyone could see that she said these words to comfort Han Qi.

"Since the matter under scrutiny is a foregone conclusion, instead of waiting angrily and anxiously, it is better to do other things to distract yourself. I have inquired about the character of this fan secret school. He is upright and upright. Since we are innocent, he Sooner or later it will be found out."

"I know, but I'm afraid it will take too long." Han Qi caressed Cui Tao's cheek and forced a smile, "Well, in this situation, we really can't do anything but wait. Didn't we always have Do you have a chance to taste the food on the "Bianjing Gourmet Record", now we have time, let's go door to door."

"Ah."

……

Guangxian Building.

After Zhao Zongqing heard Lin Shangshu talk about the situation of Han Qi and Cui Tao, he smiled lightly and asked Lin Shangshu to taste the good wine he had collected.

Lin Shangshu took a sip politely, his eyes straightened, and he sighed that the taste was delicious, it really was a good wine.

Zhao Zongqing ordered his subordinates to send the only two altars to Lin Shangshu.

"What's the point of that?"

"Let Lin Shangshu take the risk, it should be." Zhao Zongqing raised his hand to signal Lin Shangshu not to be polite to him anymore.

"Fortunately, we were aware of it in advance, so that we could turn them into an army and save me. But I am worried that if this matter is confused for a while, it will eventually..."

Lin Shangshu's face was full of sadness. He knew exactly what kind of character Fan Zhongyan was.After he found out the truth and released Han Qi, that was the date of his death.

"Don't worry, everything will be settled before he finds out. Now that those two stumbling blocks are stopped, it will be safer."

Lin Shangshu clapped his legs, "Then I can drink without worry, hahaha..."

……

In the evening, Cui Tao and Han Qi went to Qi San's mother's house to eat wine and vinegar.

Baiyao itself has a strong smell and is not easy to cook.

Qi San's family's white kidney in wine and vinegar is like a magic trick. It doesn't smell fishy at all. It is fragrant and tastes wonderful. Even the radish as a side dish is delicious.

However, there are not many women who come here to order wine and vinegar, and the room is full of men.Fortunately, Cui Tao was dressed in men's clothes, so she didn't look obtrusive, otherwise they would definitely have received a lot of strange looks at this table.

"Winter is the most suitable food for invigorating the kidneys. Regardless of men or women, it is actually beneficial to eat some in moderation." Cui Tao lamented the therapeutic value of this dish from the perspective of a doctor. "But you can't eat too much, it's easy to get angry."

Han Qi just picked up his chopsticks, but when he heard this, he put them down and stared at Cui Tao without saying a word.

Before Cui Tao noticed it, she put a piece of radish into her mouth and happily chewed it, only to realize Han Qi's gaze later.

"What's the matter? Eat quickly." Cui Tao specially picked up a big piece for Han Qi.

He is young, and he knows exactly how much.What should I do if I overdo it with an unmarried wife?

Of course, Han Qi couldn't say these words.

He only ate the piece that Cui Tao gave him, and didn't move any more dishes.

Cui Tao saw the clue, silently pretended not to notice anything, and continued to eat.

"Hey, what a coincidence, I met Cui Qi-Lang here!"

'Niang' was already on the tip of his mouth, when Feng Dayou noticed that Cui Tao was wearing men's clothes, he stretched out his pronunciation and changed it into 'Lang'.

"It's a coincidence that I came here to eat with my brothers?" Cui Tao saw three other men with Feng Dayou, who were eating wine at another table.

Seeing Cui Tao looking at them, the three of them felt that the two gentlemen Feng Dayou knew were really handsome, so they politely nodded to Cui Tao and Han Qi with a smile.

Cui Tao invited Feng Dayou to sit down, and had two glasses of wine with them before leaving.

"Recently, the sub-district department is on holiday, so there shouldn't be any movement?" Cui Tao asked in a low voice.

Feng Dayou nodded. He knew what Cui Tao wanted to find out, so he took the initiative to explain: "Since he came, everyone was mobilized to clear the snow disaster, and there was no special action. Until the Chinese New Year holiday, everyone was just a routine Inspections are even more relaxing."

"Usually all the yamen are busy at the end of the year. When your street department is closed in recent years, the roads and city walls don't need to be repaired?" Han Qi casually asked Feng Dayou while peeling broad beans.

He has slender fingers, and when he peels broad beans, he looks more attractive than ordinary people, like a painting, even a rough guy like Feng Dayou can hardly look away.

"Of course it needs to be inspected and repaired, but Ge Goudang has almost done this work before."

When it comes to Ge Hongxing, the previous sub-district secretary, Feng Dayou is full of praise. He is serious and meticulous in his work.Before Zhao Zongqing came to take over the Subdistrict Department, Ge Hongxing considered that it would be difficult to start construction due to the cold weather in winter, so he inspected and repaired the city walls and drainage ditches of each street early in September or October, taking advantage of the warm weather.By the end of the year, it is only necessary to check for deficiencies and make up for leaks, and minor repairs are enough.

"It's a talent. It's rare to find officials who are willing to work hard these days." Cui Tao praised.

"Yes, he should be recommended by Guo Sijian to serve as a military officer in the Bozhou Division." Feng Dayou nodded in approval repeatedly, causing the lock of hair on the top of his head to tremble a few times.

Speaking of this lock of hair, thanks to Cui Tao's hair growth lotion, it didn't make him completely bald.He no longer has to worry about the three remaining hairs every day as before.

Feng Dayou didn't know the current situation in Kaifeng Mansion, and thought that Han Qi and Cui Tao were just shopping together during the holidays, teasingly teased when the two would get married, let him have a wedding wine, and then said goodbye to his three friends The wine went.

Han Qi sent a small plate of broad beans he had peeled to Cui Tao.

After Cui Tao took a few bites, she felt something strange behind her.

She pretended that the purse accidentally dropped, and bent down to pick it up. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of two young men sitting at a table in the corner. There were four dishes on the table without moving a bite, and their eyes were always staring at them from time to time.

Han Qi also noticed the stalker, smiled and served Cui Tao some food, then sat next to Cui Tao, and whispered to her: "It's a good sign, the closer you look, the more it means that the wind is coming."

Cui Tao nodded, and stuffed a broad bean into her mouth.After a while, the proprietress brought a plate of fish soup and invited them to eat.Cui Tao suddenly retched, covered her mouth and ran out.

Han Qi immediately paid the money and chased him out.

Seeing this, two young men in the corner rushed to chase after him.When they left the store at first, they didn't see anyone, and they panicked.They were not relieved until they were found in a remote alley nearby.Otherwise, if they lose someone, they will definitely be punished heavily when they go back.

"Is it better? What's wrong with you? Let's go see the doctor?" Han Qi asked Cui Tao with concern.

Cui Tao sniffled her nose twice, raised her head suddenly, and looked at Han Qi tearfully, her eyes were as pitiful and helpless as a wounded deer——

Han Qi couldn't help shrinking in his heart, even though he didn't know why, but he couldn't stand Cui Tao looking at him like this, and instinctively couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Caught off guard, Han Qi's arms were suddenly grabbed by Cui Tao.

"Zhigui, we have to get married quickly, otherwise it will be hard to explain when we get a big belly."

Han Qi: "..."
