The carriage stopped in the small courtyard, and Zhi Changle and Pang Yi disassembled the entire wooden cabinet and moved it into the small darkroom.
When Lu Qianhai was pulled out, he smelled of urine.
Zhi Changle frowned in disgust, picked up the wooden cabinet with large pliers, and threw it to the corner of the yard.
"Are you really unable to hold it in, or did you do it on purpose?" Zhi Changle came back and asked.
Lu Qianhai was speechless and lay on the ground with a cold face.
"On purpose." Pang Yi said standing nearby.
"Do you know what's in that cabinet?" Zhi Changle squatted down, "The mezzanine is full of cotton. There are two mezzanines, just to protect you, haha!"
Lu Qianhai was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes.
"How is the cleanup of the cellar going?" Pang Yi asked.
"It's almost ready. Throw this dog officer in later!" Zhi Changle said happily.
Pang Yi nodded: "I'll plant the flag and then return the car."
"good!"
Pang Yi's flag-laying was to dry two pieces of clothing, one black and one white, on the roof of the side building of the small courtyard.
The roof of the house is wide, and the pole for drying clothes is connected to the eaves next door. It is hung very high. Because of the strong wind at high places, the clothes are swaying in the wind.
Lao Tong was cracking peanuts upstairs at Liren Teahouse. When he saw his clothes flying up, he threw away the peanuts, turned around and ran downstairs.
There was a boy sitting on the street, watching a master making candy figures. Old Tong walked over and called out in a low voice: "Ah Li."
Xia Zhaoyi looked up.
"Pang Yi is fine."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, and when the master finished squeezing it and handed it to him, Xia Zhaoyi thanked him, played with the candy man in his hand and stood up.
The shape of the candy man is a little boy holding a big gourd in his arms. The gourd is bigger than the boy's body.
"Ah Li, do you like this?" Lao Tong said with a smile.
This was the first time I saw the "childlike" side of her.
"As long as it's a handicraft, I like it," Xia Zhaoyi looked up and said with a smile, "Look at how skillful your hands are."
"What a coincidence, what a coincidence. Where are we going now?"
"Don't go then, just stay here." Xia Zhaoyi said.
As she walked, she opened the gourd, took out a small roll of paper from her sleeve, stuffed it into the gourd, and then squeezed the gourd into shape.
It was done very quickly and in one go. Old Tong looked at the gourd in her hand and didn't see how she stuffed it in.
"Old Tong, wait for me here." Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and said.
"Yeah." Lao Tong nodded.
Xia Zhaoyi wrinkled her clothes and walked towards Jiang Mansion in front.
Grasping the side door knocker, Xia Zhaoyi clicked several times.
After a while, the side door was opened. Unexpectedly, it was a child. A servant frowned and said, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Minister Jiang, Jiang Pingsheng." Xia Zhaoyi said.
"You are looking for my master? What do you want?"
"Someone asked me to give this to Minister Jiang," Xia Zhaoyi handed the candy man. "He said it concerns Minister Jiang's life and future. If it is not handled properly, the whole family may be executed."
"Bah!" the servant stretched out his hand and pushed him over, "What nonsense are you kidding! Get away!"
Xia Zhaoyi quickly dodged, raised his head and said with a smile: "That man said that you will definitely do violence to me and asked me to hide quickly. He said that he helped Minister Jiang when he was in Peifeng. If you
If you use violence against me, I will ask Mr. Jiang to send you to the battlefield."
The servant frowned and looked at him suspiciously.
Seeing that he was being frightened, Xia Zhaoyi smiled and handed over the candy man in his hand: "Here, I gave it to you. You hand it over to him with your own hands. Don't let anyone else take it away."
The servant took it, looked at the candy man, and then looked at the child who turned and walked away.
"It's strange," said the servant.
After closing the door, he turned around and saw someone standing behind him. The servant was caught off guard and startled.
After coming back to his senses and seeing the face of the visitor clearly, the servant said: "Second, Second Master."
Jiang Pingdai looked at Tangren coldly: "What is this?"
"A child brought it to you, saying it was from a mysterious person who helped you in Peifeng." The servant replied.
"Give it to me." Jiang Pingdai stretched out his hand.
The servant thought of the child's words and hesitated: "The child said..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Pingdai snatched him away.
Looking left and right, there was no clue. Jiang Pingdai twisted the candy man's body away and stuffed a small roll of paper into the candy man's belly.
Jiang Pingdai opened the roll and was stunned.
He raised his head and looked at the servant: "Who do you think you gave this candy man to?"
His expression was a little scary, and the servant stammered: "Hand it, leave it to your lord."
"My eldest brother?"
"yes."
Jiang Pingdai's complexion became even worse.
There is only one sentence on the paper: Jiang Pingdai, are you surprised?
Jiang Pingdai put away the paper and looked at the servant: "Just pretend that you have never taken this candy man, and you are not allowed to tell my elder brother, and no one is allowed to mention it!"
The servant looked at him uneasily, a little scared.
"Did you hear that?" Jiang Pingdai raised his voice.
The servant pursed his lips and nodded: "You have an order, little man."
Jiang Pingdai turned around and hurried away with the candy and paper.
After returning to his small courtyard, he hurried into the study and spread the papers on the table.
The seven words made the hairs on his body stand up.
Jiang Pingdai, are you surprised?
Can it be a surprise?
Surprise, no?
Jiang Pingdai crumpled the candy man into a ball and threw it to the ground.
He may have received the news about Lu Qianhai's disappearance earlier than Jiang Pingsheng. Lu Mengdi sent someone to tell him, and he suspected that Lu Qianhai's disappearance was related to the remnants of Dingguo Duke's mansion.
First, the Yu family's father and son died tragically, and then Lu Qianhai disappeared. Jiang Pingdai felt panicked and had been walking back and forth in the mansion for two days.
Fortunately, he bumped into this candy man and didn't let it fall into Jiang Pingsheng's hands. However, this candy man also just showed that the remnants of Dingguo's mansion were about to reach out to him.
It's so weird, Jiang Pingdai, is he surprised?
Any surprises?
Have it?
The more Jiang Pingdai thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
Looking at these seven words blankly, he thought for a while and stood up again.
No, he can't sit down. What if that person comes to Jiang Mansion to do something weird again?
After thinking for a while, Jiang Pingdai quickly wrote a letter, then picked up a stool and took the stool to sit where he must pass by the front door and side door of Jiang Mansion.
So he waited here, firstly, waiting for his only slave to come back from the outside to inquire about the news, and then let the slave send the letter to Lu Mengdi, and secondly, waiting to see if that man had any tricks up his sleeve. Apart from that, he couldn't think of anything else.
There's a solution.
In the teahouse diagonally across from Jiang Mansion, Lao Tong is sitting in the lobby on the first floor.
Xia Zhaoyi was sitting opposite, her body a little crooked, holding her chin with one hand and playing with the tea cup with the other.
Now teahouses, taverns and restaurants are out of stock again. Only steamed buns and tea can be ordered, but if you add money quietly, you can eat meat if you want.
"Ah Li, are we waiting for someone here? Didn't we say that we are going to do bad things?"
Xia Zhaoyi was a little distracted, raised her eyes, paused, and smiled: "Yes, it's a bad thing."
"You seem to be worried a lot today," Lao Tong looked at her, "Is it related to the Lian Fei Pavilion you asked me to go to this morning?"
"It has nothing to do with it," Xia Zhaoyi shook his head, "It has something to do with the Qingque Pavilion I went to in the morning."
Lao Tong paused and then said: "Did they bully you over there?"
"How could it be," Xia Zhaoyi sat up straight, looked out the window at the side door of Jiang Mansion, and said in a low voice, "I asked Mr. Yan Hui to help me check the information at the Ministry of Household Affairs a few days ago. Mr. Yan Hui is very efficient in doing things. He has already
Found it."
"What are you checking?"
It happened that the waiter came over at this time, put down a stack of fried meat, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir!"
Lao Tong waved his hand impatiently: "Go!"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Thank you, brother."
The waiter smiled at the child, glanced at Lao Tong, and threw the kerchief over his shoulder.
"I didn't find anything, I just inferred it myself," Xia Zhaoyi looked at the door and said, "Because Jiang Pingsheng can't do that kind of thing."
After he finished speaking, the side door over there opened. Lao Tong turned his eyes and saw a servant coming out.
"Let's go and do bad things." Xia Zhaoyi stood up and said.
