Seven bitter flowers

Chapter 24: Yes Ye Fei Ye

There was a smile in Ding Xiu's eyes, and he said slowly: "The three of us can't go to the government like this."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then how should we go?"

Ding Xiu smiled slightly: "Kaifeng Mansion will not startle the snake when it asks about this case, but if the three of us go there, it will definitely startle the snake."

Zhan Zhao asked, "How did you see it?"

Ding Xiu raised his hand to pour a cup of tea, took a sip, and said: "They will do it in a few days, and it is expected that even if the government investigates this case, they will retire long ago when they have a clue, so they will have nothing to fear. However, if they knew that the person who came to investigate the case was Mr. Zhan, the fourth-rank Yuqian guard with a knife in Kaifeng Mansion, and the White Five Heroes of Trapped Sky Island, how could they not be more vigilant, and even set a trap, waiting for us to fall into the trap?"

Bai Yutang folded his arms and snorted, "Then what do you say?"

Ding Xiu put down the teacup, and slowly spit out two words: "Yirong."

Yin's residence in Jiangning Prefecture.

Today, Governor Zhao Hongxing is in a good mood.

Now he is sitting at the table, breakfast is his favorite Xicheng Liji's crab roe steamed stuffed bun and crystal tofu skin, and a jug of four-distilled and four-vintage wine specially shipped from Persia, chilled in well water for a whole night, The texture and taste are very good.Zhao Hongxing took a sip of the wine and couldn't help humming a little tune.His eighth concubine gave him a fat son last night, and the midwife said that the child is very lucky to have a big face and white ears, and he will definitely be a bright future.

Zhao Hongxing couldn't help laughing, and was thinking about giving his son a better name again, when the housekeeper Zhao Zhong suddenly pushed the door open and entered without even knocking on the door.

Zhao Hongxing got angry, coughed and said, "What's going on, there's no rules at all."

Zhao Zhong didn't seem to hear it, but instead he took a few steps towards Zhao Hongxing's table, with a mournful face, he couldn't speak clearly: "Master, Kai...Kaifeng government sent...a few officials... Come on, no... I don't know..."

With a sound of "Puff", half of the wine in Zhao Hongxing's mouth spewed out, and then he coughed profusely due to the remaining wine. Unconsciously, he muttered: "Kaifeng Mansion...Kaifeng Mansion...Kaifeng Mansion...Why are you here?" While thinking: Could it be that the six jade carved horses that Zhao County Magistrate gave him the day before yesterday leaked the news?No, no, no matter how well-informed Kaifeng Mansion is, the news could not come so quickly... That is, did Kaifeng Mansion know about the gold and silver given to him by the leader of the water bandits in Taihu Lake last month?Or maybe it was too extravagant to celebrate the old man's birthday last month, leaking money and making Kaifeng government suspicious and want to investigate him?It is also possible that his colleagues at the bottom tripped him up secretly, and they sued him at the Kaifeng mansion... Thinking about it, the clothes on the back were already soaked in cold sweat, and he couldn't help thinking The guillotines from the Kaifeng government office and the rumored black face of Bao Qingtian that can scare the dead back to life emerged...

Suddenly, he heard a sound that was not quite right, "tat-tat-tat-tat", like the sound of teeth chattering, it must be Zhao Zhong, this useless old guy, hearing the name of Kaifeng Mansion, he is stupid Yes, really...

Zhao Hongxing raised his head, and was about to give Zhao Zhong a blow on the head, so that he could wake up, when he inadvertently glanced to the side... His movements suddenly stopped, and his huanghuali wood carved window sill The sitting...is a person?

*******************************************************************************

The three of Zhan Zhao had been waiting in the flower hall for nearly half an hour. After drinking a pot of tea, it was no different from plain water.Bai Yutang almost flipped the table several times, but was stopped by Zhan Zhao.

Bai Yutang folded his arms angrily, and glanced at Ding Xiu: "You're right, what about you? Why haven't you come out yet?"

Ding Xiu had complicated eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.On the other hand, Zhan Zhao took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Dynasty Dynasty, stay safe and don't be impatient."

Bai Yutang snorted, and said, "Let's let that so-called Zhao Fu Yin hang out here, maybe he's already playing tricks in secret, and we'll be kept in the dark, sitting here drinking tea like a fool."

Ding Xiu gave Bai Yutang a sideways look, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Brother Zhang, why don't I go find someone to remind me?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, was about to speak, but suddenly stopped, stretched out his index finger to his lips, and said in a low voice, "Here we come."

Sure enough, after a while, Ding Xiu also heard the footsteps of two people coming this way, and secretly sighed in his heart, how could this person's ears be like cats, so sharp?And the last time outside the Chang Mansion was also... by accident, Ding Xiu suddenly remembered that when he was on the tree last night, Zhan Zhao covered her mouth with his hand, and his face turned red for no reason. □□ Blocked, but no one saw it.

The sound of footsteps approached, and two people came out from the inner hall. Before they approached, the person walking in front had already smiled and cupped his hands, and said loudly as he walked: "The distinguished guests of Kaifeng Mansion have come to the humble house. Our mansion has not been able to welcome them from afar. Several adults forgive one, and forgive one..."

Ding Xiu looked up at the two people in front of him, the one behind was the butler who greeted them just now, called Zhao Zhong or something.The man in front was short and fat, with a shiny face, he looked like a fat and fat official, probably that Zhaofu Yin.Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Bai Yutang's cold voice: "Yuan Ying didn't dare to be the one, but Mr. Zhao left the three of us to hang out in this flower hall to drink tea, no matter whether we asked, this Jiangning Mansion's way of hospitality is really good. It's unusual, if you know it, Master Zhao is sincere, but if you don't know it, you think Master Zhao doesn't care about our Kaifeng Mansion."

Ding Xiu was secretly amused, knowing that Bai Yutang had held back his anger, and now he would probably spill it on Zhao Fu Yin's head. Sure enough, looking at Zhao Hongxing, the flesh on his fat face trembled twice , looked quite embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Your servant is ignorant, so don't blame me." He said angrily at Zhao Zhong, "If there are no rules, hurry up and set up wine to entertain a few adults." Zhao Zhong humbly After answering twice, with a strange look on his face, he bowed his body and backed out.

Zhan Zhao kept his composure, looked at the expressions of the two, and said calmly, "How dare you bother Mr. Zhao, I just have a few questions to ask you here, so don't bother me." Zhao Hongxing said repeatedly : "Where is there." While asking the three of them to sit down, several servants brought tea and snacks.

After a few people sat down, Zhan Zhao cupped his hands and said, "I'm Zhang Long." Pointing to Bai Yutang and Ding Xiu, he said, "These two are Dynasty Mahan. I'm here under the order of Lord Bao, and I'm here to help you. Investigate the disappearance of Jiangning children."

Zhao Hongxing showed hesitation on his face, he stroked his beard and said, "This... I didn't turn to Kaifeng Mansion for help, Master Bao just sent a few people here, I'm afraid..." He looked at Zhan Zhao and fell silent.

Bai Yutang snorted, and said, "Listen to Mr. Zhao, has your lord investigated this case clearly?"

Zhao Hongxing was raising his cup to drink tea, when he heard that his hands trembled slightly, a few drops of tea splashed out of the cup, he paused for a long time before laughing and said: "Please trouble me, my government has sent people to investigate this case. If you think about it, the children must have been abducted by bandits on the run, and they must have fled to other places by now."

Ding Xiu said coldly: "If you are a bandit on the run, why don't you hear about such cases happening in other places?"

Zhao Hongxing pondered and said: "They must have been hiding, and they will commit crimes again after the limelight passes."

Bai Yutang snorted, and just about to speak, Ding Xiu had already rushed to the front: "So, the stolen child from Jiangning Mansion can't be retrieved?"

Zhao Hongxing stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "The case started suddenly. Within three days, more than a dozen children disappeared, and the culprit disappeared in a blink of an eye. After so many days, it must be..." He sighed, shook his head, There was an unbearable look on his face.

Zhan Zhao was annoyed in his heart, knowing that if he and the others hadn't come, those children would have ended up in a terrible end, but he didn't want to get angry right now, so he said in a low voice, "Well, please borrow the case file to have a look, I'll wait Go back to Kaifeng for a business trip."
