Chapter 543 Little Linger.
"Hey, why is this a fake corpse?"
monster!
What kind of monster can have such a strange power?
Wang Wu is still a middle-aged man who weighs over a hundred pounds. Without any resistance, he was dragged into the air and smashed down a table. Stars stared at him from the fall. His whole body seemed to be falling apart. Grinning his teeth in pain when he moved a little.
As soon as he heard the crisp clapping sound from the side, Wang Wu's eyes were dazed, and his blurred vision could only see a group of burning red flames walking towards him.
Wang Wu shook his head subconsciously, trying to see what kind of monster was dragging him away. However, before he could see the truth of Chi Yan, he felt his eyes go dark, accompanied by bouts of dizziness and nausea, and his stomach was rolling , Something rushed to the throat, and I couldn't help retching a few times.
Hong Kui's eyelids twitched, her small fists were clenched, and her flushed face was full of anger and resentment.
Knowing that the other party vomited because of a fall on the head, but in her eyes, this guy clearly just glanced at her, and then vomited directly. Seeing vomited.
Zhou Ji held Ge Zhaodihao's wrist tightly, and with the other hand, he flicked the red fruit drink that had just melted the dye at random, just blocking the mouth of Wang Wu who was still about to retch.
'Cough cough cough~' Wang Wulian choked a few times, and finally stopped vomiting.
"Tell me, why did you do this?" Zhou Ji lowered his head to look at Wang Wu, glanced at Ge Zhaodi who was still struggling, and asked calmly.
Ge Zhaodi couldn't get out of the struggle, so she had to stare at Zhou Ji angrily, hearing the slight chill in her tone, Wang Wu trembled with fright, and the two said almost at the same time:
"I owed money to someone, and that person forced me to pay back the money. If I didn't have the money to pay back, he asked me to come here to make trouble!"
"You deducted his sister's wages!"
"Hahaha~"
The two brothers didn't even get their words right, so they came to Pengci to blackmail, which caused tea drinkers and passers-by to roar with laughter.
It's none of their business to watch the fun, but Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, and Sun Sanniang couldn't laugh at all.
Zhao Pan'er's eyes moved back and forth between the two, as if wanting to see which of them was lying.
Song Yinzhang had the most innocent mind, stepped forward, and said angrily: "Half-hidden has never hired a man, and the three of us are usually busy with the work. We have never seen this person before, how can we deduct other people's wages?"
"Yes, yes." The tea guests nearby responded one after another, such as Mr. Zhuoshi, Yuan Tuntian, Du Changfeng and these regular customers who come to the tea house to listen to music and drink tea every day, so they can naturally serve as Song Yinzhang testify.
Ge Zhaodi looked at Wang Wudao with an expression of disbelief, "You lied to me? Tell me, they broke Nimeizi's leg!"
Wang Wu turned his head, not daring to look at Ge Zhaodi.
Between Wang Wu and Ge Zhaodi, Song Yinzhang naturally believed Ge Zhaodi's words, and asked, "Who ordered you to destroy my shop?"
With so many people around, Wang Wuyi dared not answer for a while.
Ge Zhaodi quickly backtracked, "It was the Baye of the wharf who instructed him, but the one who gave him money was a woman! In her forties, she is the housekeeper of a wealthy family!"
"Ba Ye."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Although Zhao Pan'er didn't know who Ba Ye was, but from the terrified expressions of the tea customers around him, he guessed that the other party must be a local snake at the Water Transport Ferry. I'm sorry, the tea house has some private matters, so it's closed today, all guest officials go back first, the tea house will open as usual tomorrow, and a fruit snack will be given to each table of guests. Please forgive me."
Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang comforted the tea guests and sent them out. Zhou Ji wanted to join in the fun, but felt that someone was gently grabbing his sleeves, so he couldn't help but look sideways.
"I want to go back."
Hongkui glanced at Zhao Pan'er who was seeing off the guest with a complicated expression, feeling very strange for a moment.
It seems that there is a simple, kind, clean, sincere little girl separated from the ____, ____, ____ woman in front of her.
'Little Linger'
Hongkui's eyes followed the figure of the little girl, and drifted to the door of the tea house. The street full of tea customers seemed to have become the wishing tree in Nanzhao Kingdom. A little girl who looked like five or six years old held a Sitting next to her with her cheeks open, she watched a woman in a red dress who was wearing a bright red dress tie a piece of red ribbon on a hanging branch.
‘Sister Xiaokui, haven’t you found that person yet? '
Breeze blows, hundreds of ribbons fall off the treetops, like colorful butterflies, flying all over the sky, the sweet and cute little girl with a smile and these past memories disappear in the closed gate of the tea house.
"Miss Yinzhang, wait a moment."
When the door was only a few minutes away from closing, Zhou Ji's sudden opening interrupted Song Yinzhang who was closing the door.
Song Yinzhang stopped, turned around and looked at Zhou Ji suspiciously.
"Sanniang." Zhou Ji let go of Ge Zhaodi's palm and called Sun Sanniang's name.
Sun Sanniang didn't understand what was going on at first, but when she saw Ge Zhaodi rubbing her sore wrist looking for an opportunity to slip away, she immediately reacted and chased after her, blocking Ge Zhaodi's way.
"Mr. Zhou, are you...?" Zhao Pan'er looked puzzled, and looked at Zhou Ji and Hongkui suspiciously.
"Since the two have been captured, I will leave it to you to deal with. Si Teng is still waiting for us in the teahouse, and Xiaokui and I will go back first." Zhou Ji smiled formulaically, and his tone was somewhat unquestionable. mean.
"Is that so?" Zhao Pan'er wanted to say something polite to the two of them, but found that Xiao Kui, who had always been kind to her, suddenly became cold for some reason.
That alienation reveals an undisguised disappointment.
Zhao Paner thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what she did wrong to offend Xiaokui, but after thinking about it for a while, an impossible answer suddenly popped up in her mind, and her polite smile froze suddenly.
Looking sideways at Sun Sanniang who was still staring at Ge Zhaodi, she kept repeating 'impossible' in her heart, but except for Sun Sanniang, she didn't even tell her "good sister" Song Yinzhang!
"Red Fruit Drink"
Mahang Street is far less lively than other markets on weekdays, but today something happened with half-hidden faces, the tea drinkers who had just been driven out of the tea house and pedestrians who watched the excitement blocked the door, and when they saw the door opened, they looked in curiously .
Waiting for Song Yinzhang to squeeze out of the crowd, Zhou Ji and Hongkui were no longer seen in the sparse streets in the distance.
After Zhou Ji and Hongkui left, Zhao Pan'er turned her attention back to Ge Zhaodi in front of her, and asked with a serious face, "How do you know that she is the housekeeper of a wealthy family?"
Ge Zhaodi glanced at the large kitchen knife that Sun Sanniang brought from the back kitchen, swallowed her saliva, completely put an end to the idea of running away, rolled her eyes, raised her head and said: "I saw her feet, they are fat and wide, the uppers are made of fabric Not good, the color is old-fashioned. The owner doesn’t know how to wear this kind of shoes. But she can ride in a big carriage, and she can also give orders, either as a housekeeper or as a wet nurse!”
"Very clever. Can you write?" Zhao Pan'er had a sneer on her face, but her eyes were gloomy and unfamiliar. "Write down what happened today from beginning to end, and press your fingerprints."
Ge Zhaodi and Wang Wu both knew that this thing was a firecracker. Once it was written, it was held by the other party. They looked at each other and hesitated.
"Don't worry, I won't report this matter to the authorities." Zhao Pan'er smiled coldly and said coldly, "However, if you don't write now, I will have someone take you to another place. Take it slow. .Write."
Ge Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said "I'll write", then grabbed the pen and ink handed over by Sun Sanniang, wrote the confession statement crookedly, bit her finger and pressed the blood mark.
Wang Wu cheated the corpse in public, and Ge Zhaodi pulled out the eighth master of the wharf. This matter is very clear, Zhao Pan'er signaled Sun Sanniang to open the door, and bowed to the people watching the excitement outside the door, "Today's matter, please help to be a witness. We have been completely framed for half-hidden, and if someone spreads rumors about the poisonous food of 'Half-hidden' in the future, please help explain it. The little girl is very grateful!"
The tea drinkers said one after another: "That's natural!"
Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang bowed to everyone again.
After watching the excitement, the tea guests and pedestrians gradually dispersed. In the end, even Wang Wu and Ge Zhaodi were let go by Zhao Paner. Looking at the deserted and empty tea house, Zhao Paner vaguely felt that something was missing.
Hmm. What's missing?
"So. What about the red fruit drink you brought me?"
Tongfu Tea House, backstage of theatrical troupe.
The small tune at the front desk of the teahouse cooperates with the storytelling, and there is a bang!
"Didn't I forget to take it?"
"You can wait for Song Yinzhang when you stop, but you want to pretend to be handsome and play cool to disappear. Isn't it a sense of accomplishment?" Si Teng folded his arms and sat sideways by the vanity mirror, looking at Zhou Ji with a half-smile.
"Why do these words sound meaningful?"
Zhou Ji replied casually, pulled a chair and sat opposite Si Teng, stretched out his hand into the void and groped for a long time, his eyes lit up, he took out a blue and white aluminum can and said: "I didn't buy red fruit drink, how about happy water?" ?”
Si Teng rolled his eyes at Zhou Ji, and was about to receive the happy water when he heard a burst of panting and chaotic footsteps coming from outside.
"Miss Yinzhang?" Zhou Ji flipped his wrist, and the aluminum can disappeared into the square. He turned around and looked at the raised backstage curtain, wondering, "Why did you come here?"
"Red fruit drink." Song Yinzhang saw that Si Teng was there, greeted her with a smile, and explained, "San Niang said that Mr. Zhou ordered three red fruit drinks, and I thought the third one should be for Si Teng Miss brought it, so I saw that you were in a hurry when you left, so I brought it for you."
"This is too much trouble for Miss Yinzhang." Zhou Ji could not have imagined that the little girl would be so stubborn, so he apologized helplessly, and then thanked Song Yinzhang.
Si Teng's plain eyes became a little softer, took the food box, took out the red fruit drink and refreshments, divided them into two and gave one to Song Yinzhang, and said with an undeniable aura, "Yinzhang has worked hard all the way, sit down and drink together Let's have some tea."
Song Yinzhang wanted to refuse, but agreed in a daze.
Si Teng only tasted a little tea and fruit, and left the rest to Zhou Ji. He chatted with Song Yinzhang while drinking tea. talk about.
what's the situation?
Is it related to me?
Zhou Ji was full of question marks, looked up and saw Si Teng giving him a scrutinizing look, and quickly returned an innocent expression, grabbed the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.
Song Yinzhang is just an ordinary person with no capital, if Si Teng uses the power of the red umbrella, he can naturally confuse her mind and ask all her secrets.
But playing with people's hearts like this is definitely not what Sito wants, and she never bothers to do such things with her arrogance.
Because he was worried about the situation on the half-hidden side, and at the same time he did not want to mention Shen Ruzhuo's matter, Song Yinzhang got up to bid farewell to Zhou Ji and Si Teng, and hurried back to Maxing Street.
Watching Song Yinzhang leave, the curtain was raised, lowered, and swayed slightly according to inertia, and Si Teng's calm voice came from behind Zhou Ji, "Her thoughts seem to be related to you."
Zhou Ji turned around, facing the clear and clean eyes of his boss Teng, clearly he was 'not afraid of the shadow slanting', but still felt a little guilty for no reason, and tentatively asked, "Maybe it has something to do with leaving the nationality?"
Si Teng thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Although it sounds like sophistry, it's not unreasonable. The lowly status has already become the demon of this girl, and only the matter of leaving her citizenship can make her feel like this." Troubled and powerless."
"This little girl looks weak, but she is actually more tenacious and stubborn than Zhao Pan'er." Zhou Ji shook his head and sighed softly, and said helplessly, "I wanted to help her escape, but she refused."
"We have helped her too much, and she has always kept it in her heart silently. If the debt is too much, I am afraid I can only promise it with my body?" Si Teng said, and looked at Zhou Ji with a gloomy look. .
the other side.
Song Yinzhang went to the front hall to say hello to Hongkui, and hurried back half-hidden.
The pedestrians and tea guests who had surrounded the door had all dispersed. Song Yinzhang hurried into the store, but he didn't see Sun Sanniang. In the corner of the hall, Zhao Pan'er leaned on the screen and seemed to be talking to Sun Sanniang.
"Deputy Envoy Gu? Why are you here?"
Song Yinzhang hurried over, but found that the person next to the screen was not Sun Sanniang, and couldn't help showing a surprised expression.
Zhao Pan'er winked at Gu Qianfan, and said with a smile: "I invited Deputy Envoy Gu to come here. Last time, didn't I say that I wanted to ask you about Shen Ruzhuo?"
"Ah, yes." Gu Qianfan received Zhao Pan'er's wink, his brain was running fast, and he recalled, "That Shen Ruzhuo is the son of Shen Ming who was reviewed by the Rites Bureau. The Shen family is a wealthy family in Beijing. He usually likes music and dance rhythms. Two days ago, I went to the Jiaofang to collect music volumes because of the errands of collation in the pavilion. I have checked, and he has no bad deeds before, and his moral character is also excellent."
(I originally thought of a few adjectives for filling in the blanks, but I felt that they were too vicious, and I was worried about hurting some fans' hearts, so I used __ instead.)
