He opened the door and walked in, holding a few plates of snacks from the kitchen in his hand.

The sweet smell floated in the air and kept rushing into Mai Ying's nasal cavity. Maiden swallowed her saliva, stroked her empty stomach with her palm, and forced a smile on her face, "Lord Zhan, you are so polite!"

Zhan Zhao put several plates of snacks in front of her one by one, and said with a smile: "The government office treats the girl poorly, I hope the girl will not blame her." He made a gesture of invitation to her while talking.

Mai Ying squinted her eyes and smiled, pinching a piece of walnut cake with her exquisite fingers and stuffing it into her mouth, she said vaguely: "Master Zhan, let's go together!"

Zhan Zhao looked at the dim sum and then at her, suddenly smiled and shook his head, "I don't dare to eat these."

Mai Ying froze for a moment, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

Zhan Zhao pointed at the snacks on the plate, and said to her, "These snacks have been drugged by Mr. Gongsun, and they seem to be some kind of strange food from southern Xinjiang—"

Before she finished speaking, Mai Ying's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly bent down and pressed the back of her tongue with her hand, trying to spit out all the food she just ate, but it was all in vain.

Guard Zhan saw that she was pitiful, so he poured her a cup of herbal tea, "Okay, I'm lying to you." He handed the teacup to her, but the other party didn't take it.

"Do you suspect that I poisoned it?" Mai Ying raised her head suddenly, and Zhan Zhao found that her face was still not very good-looking.Mai Ying was silent for a moment, then sighed suddenly, then took out a waist card from her treasure bag and pushed it in front of Zhan Zhao, "I think after reading this, you won't doubt my identity anymore."

Zhan Zhao looked at her suspiciously, then reached out to pick up the waist card on the table, glanced at it, and jumped up, "Are you—"

"Don't say it!" Mai Ying interrupted, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip in a concealed manner, "I was secretly investigated by order, and my identity should not be revealed, but..." She smiled wryly, "It seems that I was accidentally caught by you." as a suspect."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, "Your whereabouts are really suspicious, I have to pay more attention."

Mai Ying chuckled, "I understand, that's why I have to tell you my identity." She nodded at the table and said to Zhan Zhao, "Why don't you sit down and let's talk about the case?"

Zhan Zhao sat down opposite her, looked at the snacks on the table, and joked, "Why don't we chat while eating!"

Mai Ying subconsciously pushed the dim sum away, feeling lingering fear.

On the other side, Bai Yutang broke into the guest room of the inn through the window, but unexpectedly failed to see his sister-in-law, and not only the sister-in-law, but also the four brothers miraculously disappeared.

Fifth Master scratched his head, feeling a little anxious, why can't anyone be found at the critical moment!Zun Su is in a hurry!

"Huh? Fifth Master, you're back!" The inn clerk pushed open the door and was about to clean the room, but he caught sight of Bai Yutang who was standing in the room. "Are you here to find Uncle Lu and the others?" the clerk asked.

"Where did my elder brother go? They are nowhere to be seen." Bai Yutang questioned the clerk.

"Uncle Lu and the others went to the newly opened Fengzhuxuan on North Street. They asked the younger one to tell Fifth Master that if Fifth Master came back to look for them, he would ask him to wait here for a while, and they would come back naturally after finishing their work." The guy nods.

Fengzhuxuan?Bai Yutang frowned and repeated the name, feeling a little familiar, "How long have they been there?" He asked.

The man thought for a while, scratched his head and said, "It seems that I have been gone for a while."

Bai Yutang nodded, grabbed his saber and jumped out of the window again, his skill is so strong!

The guy looked at the window and curled his lips. Why did he go out through the window when the door was open?He must be showing off his martial arts, he really doesn't envy him at all!

……

Chengbei Street is the most bustling and noisy area in Kaifeng. Compared with other areas, the land price here is relatively high, so those who can open a store here are generally more famous.

It was also because of this that Bai Yutang easily found the legendary Fengzhuxuan just by asking casually, but at the moment he was standing outside the door, not in a hurry to go in.

"Oh! Isn't this Bai Wuye?" The shopkeeper of the shop next door thought he was dazzled when he saw Bai Yutang's side face, "What wind brought you here!" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, looking very excited .

"Shopkeeper Wu, have my four brothers and sister-in-law been here today?" Bai Yutang asked with a blank expression.

"So Master Wu is here to find the owner!" Shopkeeper Wu patted his forehead, "They are in the store now, please come in, Master Fifth!" With a smile on his face, he politely welcomed Bai Yutang into his shop.

In the secret room of the store, Lu Fang and his three younger brothers were sitting around the table talking, when suddenly the concierge knocked three times, Lu Fang settled down, and made a silent gesture to the other three.

"Who?" Brother Lu asked in the direction of the door.

"Uncle Lu! Fifth Master Bai is here, looking for you." Shopkeeper Wu replied respectfully outside.

The door was opened from the inside, and Bai Yutang raised his head, meeting Big Brother Lu's eyes.

"Brother!" Bai Yutang said.

Brother Lu nodded, and stepped aside, "Let's talk first."

Bai Yutang dodges and walks in, and shopkeeper Wu tactfully bids his farewell and leaves.

"Fifth brother!" Seeing his younger brother at the door, Third Brother Xu couldn't hide his smile, "Could it be that your cat is mad at you, otherwise why would you be willing to come back to my brothers!" Xu Qing blinked and teased him.

"What did the third brother say? You are the most respected elder brothers of my Bai Yutang!" He was not lying, "Speaking of which, why did you come here suddenly? I went back to the inn, and the staff said that you went to Fengzhuxuan. Bai Yutang lifted up his robe and sat down among the older brothers. He looked around and asked, "Where is sister-in-law?"

Lu Fang's brows twitched imperceptibly, and before he could open his mouth, the door was opened again.

Everyone looked over subconsciously, and saw Min Soo-soo walking in with her big belly in her arms, with an ugly expression on her face.

"Or not?" Seeing his daughter-in-law's expression, Lu Fang already understood, he sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that Fengzhuxuan was so powerful that he didn't even want any money!

"Sister-in-law? What happened?" Why did she look so ugly!Bai Yutang got up quickly and helped Min Xiuxiu to his seat.

"Yutang, why are you here?" Mrs. Lu blinked, "Did you quarrel with your sister-in-law?"

Bai Yutang couldn't laugh or cry, why did everyone think we had a fight!Our relationship is obviously stronger than gold!

"I miss my sister-in-law and my brothers. By the way, I have something to ask my sister-in-law." Bai Yutang scratched his face.

"I think it's important to ask me for something!" Mrs. Lu smiled and nodded Bai Yutang's nose, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The thing I want to ask my sister-in-law to do is a bit complicated, so it's okay to talk about it later." Bai Yutang touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, "By the way, what happened to Fengzhuxuan you just mentioned?"

Min Soo-soo subconsciously went to look at Lu Fang.

Lu Fang sighed, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just heard that someone opened a new store next door to our store, and within a few days, more than half of our old customers were taken away. I think it's strange. , I was worried that someone was deliberately finding fault, so I came to Kaifeng with everyone, firstly to see you, and secondly to solve this matter."

"But after you came here, you found that things didn't seem to be simple?" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, which he could tell from his elder brother's expression, "Is that Fengzhuxuan really here to find fault?" he asked.

"It's hard to say whether we can find fault or not. The key is that we can't get in at all, and we can't even see the owner of that store, so we can't talk at all!" Brother Lu walked back and forth in the room anxiously with his hands behind his back.

"What's the matter if you can't get in?" Bai Yutang was confused by what he said, why did he seem to be a little unable to understand what his elder brother said, and businessmen always talked like this?

"Let me explain it to you." Mrs. Lu patted Bai Yutang's forearm, "The Fengzhu Pavilion claims to be a gathering place for literati and elegant guests, and anyone who can enter must have a certificate issued by Fengzhu Pavilion." A token, something like an invitation letter, otherwise no matter how much money you give, you won’t be able to enter his door.”

Bai Yutang curled his lips when he heard that, "This is interesting!"

"What's so interesting!" Brother Lu said impatiently, "If this continues, our Accord will have to close down!"

Bai Yutang sat up straight, glanced at the faces of his brothers and sisters-in-law, and then smiled lightly, "Don't worry, brother, maybe... little brother has a way."

No.40 Can't we take a shower together four times?

Brother Lu looked at his fifth younger brother, his eyes flickered, "What can you do, why not tell me!"

Bai Yutang chuckled twice, and said slowly: "Since we are looking for literati and refined scholars, why don't I ask my younger brother to meet them." Bai Yutang didn't know who was so arrogant and dared to bully his brother.

After hearing Bai Yutang's words, Third Master Xu suddenly slapped his thigh, and said cheerfully, "Hey! That's right! Why did we forget the trump card of the fifth child!"

Brother Lu didn't intend to involve Bai Yutang, but the current situation really doesn't allow him to get too entangled.

Before Bai Yutang left, he told his sister-in-law everything Bao Zheng and Gongsun had entrusted to him. He was followed by Bai Fu and left first, but he was not in a hurry to go to the next door. Drawing paper was spread out on the table next to it, and Bai Fu waited by, grinding for his fifth master.

"Fifth Master, what are you going to do?" Bai Fu whispered to his master while busy with his hands.

Bai Yutang's slender fingers slid across the strings, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into an arc.How to do it?no need to ask
