[Comprehensive] leaning on flowers and bamboo

Gongsun Ce walked back to the room, knowing that Hua Manlou must be there, he hesitated when he pushed the door open when he entered.

What made Huamanlou baffled just now, even the self-proclaimed smart Gongsun Ce wondered if he had really done something wrong and annoyed Huamanlou; No regard for hospitality.

After crossing the threshold, Gongsun Ce walked in with his bamboo stick, and vaguely saw a black shadow in front of him. Gongsun Ce walked towards it, groped and sat down.

An awkward atmosphere circulated in the air. This was the first time that the two of them got along and made Gongsun Ce feel awkward.

"You...I, I can see something with my eyes, but it's very blurry." Gongsun Ce finished, "Xue Si is really a miracle doctor, but in just a few days, he was able to heal my eyes."

"kindness."

Hua Manlou agreed, but Gongsun Ce felt that this was more uncomfortable than not agreeing.

Gongsun Ce, who has always been eloquent and eloquent, is never at a loss for words, but at this time, he really couldn't speak a word, so he could only use his fingers to grope on the bamboo stick, as if thinking about it. What topics should I find.

Hua Manlou just sat there, taking a sip of tea from time to time, feeling at ease as usual.

"Hua Manlou, why are you angry? If you have any dissatisfaction, you can just speak up. I, Gongsun Ce, are not unreasonable. If you think I am wrong, you can speak up." Can't stop, after thinking for a long time, I still asked directly: "What are you angry about?"

Hearing that Hua Manlou's movements froze, the corners of his mouth curled up and he said, "Gongsun Ce, what do you think of me?"

"Huh? My friend."

"A friend like Bao Zheng?"

"Of course—" Gongsun Ce just said two words, as if aware of something, swallowed the rest of the words: "You are different from Bao Zheng, everyone is different, so..." So what, Gongsun Ce couldn't speak.

Just when the two fell silent, Bai Yutang knocked on the door, disturbing the silence of the room.

Pushing open the door and entering, Bai Yutang froze for a moment, feeling an urge to leave, "Brother Gongsun, Wang Chao and Ma Han said that the clues in the yamen have already been obtained, and I will wait for you to go and have a look, and I will listen to your orders. "

Gongsun Ce got up in a hurry, not caring about his clothes hanging on the stool: "Then let's go there now."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun Ce's face, and then at the calm Huamanlou. He suddenly noticed the difference in the atmosphere between the two, but he couldn't ask, so he had to leave with Gongsun Ce.

After the two left, Hua Manlou put down the cup in his hand, and rubbed his thumb against the fan on the table, as if subconsciously.

When he came to the side hall, Gongsun Ce returned to normal and asked, "Any other clues? Has the county magistrate woke up?"

"Back to Mr. Gongsun, the county magistrate is still in a coma. As for the Yamen who died that day, there is no other clue except that the murder weapon was the plum blossom sleeve arrow, but there are some strange things found in the morgue." After Wang Chao finished speaking, he put a paper bag into Gongsun Ce's hand: "I found this thing from the corner outside the morgue. I don't know what it is because it's white at the end of the rice flour, because the white color is particularly obvious in the smoked place." .”

Gongsun Ce leaned the bamboo stick to the side, sat on the chair and opened the paper bag, brought the thing closer, sniffed and raised his brows together: "This thing is aconitum, the poison in Hua Yixuan is this, the magistrate must have It’s because of this that I’ve been in a coma.”

"Then Mr. Gongsun..."

"Go and find out about the sale of aconitum in pharmacies in the city, and also, send someone to watch out for the movement of those people in the martial arts world."

"Mr. Gongsun is suspicious..."

Gongsun Ce nodded but did not answer, and put down the medicine and rice.Wang Chao understood, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Gongsun, that subordinate has resigned."

"The journey was tiring. You came here in such a hurry. Bao Zheng must have urged you to come. Go and rest."

"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun."

Bai Yutang leaned aside bored, feeling really bored.Hearing Wang Chao and Ma Han talking to Gongsun Ce, he was exhausted, but suddenly thought that these two came from Bao Zheng, couldn't help thinking of his old opponent Zhan Zhao, rolled his eyes, and approached Gongsun after the two left Policy.

"Brother Gongsun, I won't be taking you back to your room for a while, I'm going to do something."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce didn't understand, but Bai Yutang didn't seem to be causing trouble randomly, so let him go: "Don't cause trouble, you can do the rest as you like, and you don't need to report to me."

"That's good, I'm leaving." After speaking, he really disappeared.

Gongsun Ce stood up and walked towards the backyard. This man from the rivers and lakes really came and went freely, but this made the case more complicated. These people's skills, if they want to kill a yamen servant, they are still plotting, it's very simple.Who would it be? Was it the fight with Hua Yixuan that night or the one from the previous ring.

The two groups of people completely put Gongsun Ce into a situation.

They all knew that this matter was not simple, and Hua Manlou had reminded him, but Gongsun Ce thought, since he entered, there was no reason to quit, and it was his plan to investigate to the end.

Thinking about things, he returned to the door of the room unconsciously. Gongsun Ce stood there for a long time, thinking whether to go in or not.

"Why don't you go in and stand outside?"

"……when did you come?"

Hua Manlou walked around to Gongsun Ce, smiled and said, "Just when you were standing in a daze."

For some reason, Gongsun Ce felt that Hua Manlou's words clearly meant to make fun of him, and he became a little annoyed, and was about to speak when he suddenly froze - Hua Manlou's tone just now seemed to have returned to normal.

"Aren't you angry anymore?"

"Competing with a man with an elm head is not worthwhile."

"It turns out that Young Master Hua is a businessman."

"Don't dare, the Hua family is just a small business."

Gongsun Ce was at a loss for words again, so he had no choice but to lift his feet and walk into the room: "The dynasty just now found the medicinal rice of aconitum outside the morgue, and the county magistrate was also poisoned by it. It seems that the plum blossom dart may be suspicious. Let's track it down. in the wrong direction."

Hua Manlou followed in, and closed the door to block the cold wind outside: "It's just a trick to defeat the Hua family, maybe I want more."

"The purpose of killing me is because I know something, and the reason for blackmailing the Hua family is because the Hua family has something they want." Gongsun Ce sat down and continued to analyze: "Your elder brother must be holding something that the other party is afraid of."

"kindness."

Hua Manlou suddenly walked up behind Gongsun Ce, leaned over to hold the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for Gongsun Ce in this posture. The sound of water suddenly changed the atmosphere.When Hua Manlou approached from behind, Gongsun Ce's whole body was tense, the tip of his nose was filled with the clean and refreshing smell of Hua Manlou's body, but his palms were full of sweat.

"The building is full of flowers..."

"En?" Hua Manlou responded, his voice seemed to come from his throat, it was mellow and intoxicating.

Gongsun Ce's ears were red, and when Hua Manlou straightened up, he stood up and walked out, forgetting to take the bamboo stick, "Ah, I forgot to explain a few things about the dynasty just now, I'm leaving first, I will check at the yamen tonight. Case, will come back later."

Hua Manlou put down the teapot, sat down calmly, touched the teacup that Gongsun Ce used just now, stroking the cup back and forth with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "I'm still in a hurry..."
