Chapter 36 The smell of gunpowder

Mi Xiayao felt something was wrong when she heard this. She didn't have time to ask what it was.

Rong Yuanzhou spoke consciously and continued on his own, "If Miss Mi wants to show her face, she will visit the lake in Xicheng recently..."

"Sir Rong, I'm afraid that I have been busy with too many things at the end of the year recently, and I forgot for a moment that the lake will freeze over in the recent severe winter."

Mi Xiayao looked at the other party with a gentle smile, but the warmth of the smile in her eyes gradually dissipated.

Obviously, she didn't like Rong Yuanzhou's behavior.

Rong Yuanzhou was not like other people who would force Mi Xiayao. He heard the polite refusal inside and took a step back happily.

"Then wait until spring comes and I'll make an appointment with Miss Mi."

Miss Mi frowned fiercely when she heard this sound.

Just when Mi Xiayao was about to leave, she turned around and saw the man wearing a silver flying fish suit standing on the street, holding a long knife in his hand.

The pair of beautiful red phoenix eyes looked at them with half-squinted displeasure.

Rong Yuanzhou turned his head and saw Pei Xingyuan.

They hold different positions and have little interaction with each other on weekdays.

Rong Yuanzhou took the initiative to say hello, "Master Pei."

Pei Xingyuan glanced at Mi Xiayao, a bad woman, and finally his attention fell on Rong Yuanzhou, whose face didn't look very good either.

"Isn't this Mr. Rong who is busy dealing with chores in the capital every day?

"Why is this Yuelai Building's opening system irregular, and you're following it?"

Pei Xingyuan raised his beautiful eyebrows, with a faint mocking smile in his eyes.

Mi Xiayao looked at him and then at Rong Yuanzhou.

"Miss Mi, someone was making trouble in front of the shop just now, but they were just doing my duty.

"Master Pei's recent trial of the case was pretty good. Did you find out which family killed which family?"

He keenly heard Rong Yuanzhou calling Mi Xiayao girl, and immediately turned his attention to Mi Xiayao.

He sneered, kicked the gravel at his feet, and said in a seemingly easy-going manner: "Fortunately, Mr. Tuorong, it's the end of the year recently, and Dali Temple has received too many cases."

There is a meaning in these words, and it is pointed out that Rong Yuanzhou is not managing the capital properly, which is why he has various murder cases to investigate.

Mi Xiayao was not a stupid person. She quickly sensed the invisible smell of gunpowder between the two people.

To avoid hurting innocent people, she immediately took a step back.

Rong Yuanzhou noticed the movement of the person next to him, noticed her taking a step back, and paused the movement of his head.

Pei Xingyuan, on the other hand, looked at the woman's movements, and his originally gloomy expression turned from cloudy to sunny.

She couldn't afford to offend these two officials, so she just said that she had other things to deal with, and took the opportunity to leave.

Before Pei Xingyuan left, he glanced at Rong Yuanzhou who was standing at the door of Yuelai Building.

The deep red phoenix eyes are full of meaningful exploration.

——

As soon as Mi Xiayao returned to the courtyard, she saw Mi's father wiping his child's face skillfully.

The picture was quite harmonious, and Mi Xiayao felt warm in her heart.

She was about to walk over when suddenly someone hurried over from outside the courtyard and said with a panic face: "Something is going wrong. Someone is making trouble in the tavern. The shopkeeper really can't persuade them."

Mi Xiayao was stunned for a moment.

She knew that she had several shops open in the capital.

When she went to deal with Buzhuang, it was just to prevent Mr. Mi from harming her father.

She really didn't pay much attention to other shops.

Mi Hanhai frowned and handed the child to Song Qiao. When he was about to walk out, he suddenly stopped and looked back at her.

"You're coming too."

Mi Xiayao followed her in confusion and watched her father take her to a place with the most traffic in the east city.

And the tavern in front of her was not an alley tavern like Mi Erye.

It is a small attic with a height of three floors.

"Originally, I saw that you are free these days, so I brought you here to take over.

"But I didn't expect it would be such an opportunity."

Mi Hanhai seemed a little regretful, so he explained and finally took her into the tavern.

In the tavern, people had already formed a circle, and it was so bustling that it had affected other guests to a great extent.

Mi Hanhai walked in with a solemn expression, and the shopkeeper looked happy when he saw his boss coming.

"what happened?"

The shopkeeper was obviously furious with those scoundrels, and he was breathing heavily when he spoke, "Some people say that our wine is fake, not that it is adulterated with water."

Mi Hanhai asked the shopkeeper to lead him to see the troublemaker, and Mi Xiayao followed curiously.

After seeing the troublemaker, Mi Xiayao's originally relaxed expression turned serious.

She looked so familiar to this person.

There are so many servants in the Duan family, and although not all of them are familiar with each other, at least the people who often serve around them still know about it.

This man is the most capable boy around Duan Honglin, the son of the Duan family, Lin Qiang.

When Mi Hanhai saw this man, his face also became slightly solemn, and he also discovered the same situation.

"Where is the fake wine? The evidence has not been destroyed, right?"

Lin Qiang didn't seem to recognize his former father-in-law. He said very arrogantly: "Your wine is too bad. I was unhappy and threw it to the ground. Here it is."

As he spoke, he pointed to the broken jar at his feet.

This gangster look makes one's back teeth feel itchy.

After all, Mi Hanhai is a person who has experienced big storms, so he is not angry when meeting such a little Luo Luo.

Instead, he turned around and looked at his daughter behind him.

"If it were you, how would you handle this matter?"

In front of everyone, today's boss asked a little girl.

The people who were watching the gossip looked over and saw that this woman was wearing plain clothes, and the clothes were the latest styles in the capital.

Especially the aura around her is calm and quiet. Her eyebrows are naturally charming, and when combined with her calm aura, she becomes the most unique existence.

"Did you break the wine jar?" Mi Xiayao raised her eyebrows.

She stood still, but everyone around her knew how to step back and let her appear in the center.

Lin Qiang hadn't seen the person in front of him clearly yet, he was busy crushing the debris on the ground again.

Mi Xiayao could see Lin Qiang's little thoughts at a glance, and she pointed out this sentence: "If you step on it again, you will hurt your foot under my nose, and we will not reimburse you for the injury."

The crowd gathered in a circle to watch the gossip and muttered something.

The words closest to Lin Qiang are the clearest.

"This person is obviously a rogue. This tavern has been open in Beijing for so many years. It is considered a time-honored restaurant. How come it has not faked its wine for a long time, but now it has fake wine?"

"If you ask me, it's because the shop has grown so big that everyone is jealous. What kind of people are they, so lacking in quality?"

Lin Qiang's rough face turned red. He raised his head angrily and saw his former mistress looking at him with cold eyes and disgust.
