How could Xiuxuan Teahouse be related to the imperial palace?
Xiong Jinkang accepted the money but refused to say a word.
Sun Qianli looked confused: "Sir, you can't let him go, and we don't dare to force him. Can you let us meet those guys? They have come to work in our tea house. They also have a father and a mother.
I can't even take a look at my family members who have suffered such an unreasonable disaster."
Xiong Jinkang shook his head and said, "This matter is difficult."
Sun Qianli lowered his voice and said: "I'm just going to take a look. I'll be alone. I'll leave after just one look. I'll give you a small gift here."
Xiong Jinkang smacked his lips and said, "This is not a matter of politeness. You are trying to make things difficult for me. Besides, even if I agree, I won't be able to speak at the Lantern Yamen.
You think that I am the deputy commander and that I can be the head of the Imperial City Division, but Qiao Shungang is used to being domineering and he is not so easy to talk to."
Sun Qianli said: "We will prepare another small gift for you as a filial piety to Qiao Qianhu."
After a long discussion, Xiong Jinkang reluctantly accepted another 800 taels of silver from Sun Qianli.
At night the next day, Sun Qianli disguised himself as a follower and followed Xiong Jinkang into the jail of Zhang Deng Yamen.
Seeing Qiao Shungang, Xiong Jinkang said with a smile: "Shungang, I'm here to look at the culprit, so I can just take a look. You can go about your business, so you don't need to accompany me."
Qiao Shungang was happy and at ease: "Commander Xiong, you can do as you please, I'm going to patrol the night with my brothers."
These stewards, men, Colonel Sencha, Dr. Cha, Qiao Shungang had already been reviewed, they were all useless people, and they were not afraid of Xiong Jinkang's manipulation.
Xiong Jinkang entered the prison and said to the lantern men guarding the cell: "Brothers, thank you for your hard work. I have prepared some food and wine. Let's have a few drinks."
The lantern holder was unwilling to drink with the deputy commander. The difference in status was too great and he would not feel comfortable drinking or eating.
But Xiong Jinkang spoke, and it was not easy to lose his face, so everyone set up a table and gathered around the deputy commander, pretending to exchange cups and cups.
Sun Qianli took the opportunity to enter the cell and saw the arrested people in the tea house.
After searching for a long time, he couldn't find a single judge. He took Captain Sencha aside and asked in a low voice: "Where have the rest gone?"
Captain Sencha looked for a while before he recognized Sun Qianli and exclaimed: "Shopkeeper, save me..."
Sun Qianli grabbed her throat and stopped her from making a sound.
"Say one more word and I will kill you. Where are the others?"
Captain Sencha coughed and gasped for a while, then shook his head and said: "We were taken into prison by Mr. Deng Lang and have been locked up here. The rest of us don't know where they are."
"Has anyone come to interrogate you?"
"Yes!" Colonel Sencha said with an aggrieved look on his face, "These people are so cruel. They whipped me several times, but I don't dare to say a bad word about you."
Sun Qianli wasn't worried about what she said bad things about him. Captain Sencha didn't know anything about the situation.
"What did they ask you?"
Captain Sencha thought for a moment and said: "Ask me if there are any girls from the palace who have been to the teahouse. I said how could there be anyone from the palace in our place? Even if there are, I don't recognize them."
Sun Qianli frowned and said, "What else have I asked you?"
"I also asked the names of the three shopkeepers, and I told them that this is not something to be afraid of."
Sun Qianli asked several more stewards, and their answers were very similar to Captain Sencha's.
Sun Qianli took out some silver coins and distributed them to everyone, saying, "You have suffered a lot. Please accept these coins. I will take care of them in two days and they will naturally let you go. Do not mention today's events to outsiders."
"
…
After leaving Zhangdeng Yamen, Sun Qianli kept thinking about one thing. What is the relationship between the people in the palace and Xiuxuan Teahouse?
Could it be that Lord Tsukazai brought people from the palace to the tea house?
This matter is serious and I must tell Tsukasa.
Sun Qianli did not dare to delay, so he returned to his residence, took out the order to reward good deeds, and wrote a line of words on it with a pen.
In the ascetic workshop and the craftsman's building, Long Xiulian took out the Tomb Zailing Order, pushed aside the gauze on his face, and saw the words.
Zhang Deng Yamen closed down Xiuxuan Tea House?
Long Xiulian wrote three words on the Tomb Zaifu Order: Tomb Zaifu.
He gently tapped the seal of the tomb master, and his figure disappeared.
Long Xiulian sat in the main hall of the Tomb Zaifu for a while, and Sun Qianli hurriedly came to him.
Long Xiulian asked: "When did this happen?"
"Two days ago."
"Why are you telling me now?"
Sun Qianli lowered his head and said, "My subordinates thought they could rescue people by going to Commander Xiong."
"Have you been rescued?"
Sun Qianli shook his head and said: "Commander Xiong refused to take action."
Long Xiulian smacked his lips and said, "This matter should be related to Ma Shangfeng. Ma Shangfeng is the Marquis of Xuanguo. Xiong Jinkang will definitely not dare to offend him."
Sun Qianli said: "Commander Xiong said that this matter was not instigated by Ma Shangfeng. He said that the Deng Deng Yamen was investigating the affairs in the palace and found out about our tea house."
"What happened in the palace?" Long Xiulian was surprised, "What are they investigating about the palace?"
"I went to the prison to see the arrested men. They said they wanted to check the people in the palace, saying that someone from the palace had been to our tea house."
Long Xiulian pinched his chin, feeling a little solemn.
News about the Queen Mother leaked.
Who leaked it?
"Ask the captured judge to kill all the irrelevant people, and then let them escape for their own lives. Don't worry about revealing my identity."
Sun Qianli lowered his head and said, "Sir, I don't know where the captured comrades are."
Long Xiulian said: "Didn't you go to the prison to see them?"
"There are only some irrelevant people in the prison of Zhangdeng Yamen. I don't know where my comrades are being held."
Long Xiulian was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Do you think you are a waste? Such a big thing happened, and you checked for two whole days and found nothing?"
Sun Qianli was covered in sweat and said: "This subordinate is incompetent."
"Go and check again. I'll give you two more days to check and find all the more than twenty judges in the teahouse. If you can't find them alive, you can just find their heads."
"I obey my orders!" Sun Qianli left the Tomb Zaifu tremblingly.
Long Xiulian sat in silence for a while in the Tomb Zaifu and returned to the ascetic workshop.
He sat in the car, pulled off the gauze on his face, looked at the Queen Mother He Shuiling and said: "Da Si Shi, your whereabouts have been exposed. Someone has found out about me. The tea house I run in the capital has been sealed off by the Yamen in charge of the lamp.
Already."
He Shuiling said in astonishment: "How is this possible? I have been in the penance workshop since I came out of the palace, and I have never even left the door."
"Yes, I haven't even left the house, but how did this news leak out?" Long Xiulian looked at Ye Ansheng, "Da Sikong, what do you think?"
"Da Situ, what do you mean by this?" Ye Ansheng was repairing a string puppet and said without raising his head, "Do you suspect that I leaked the news?"
Long Xiulian smiled and said: "Perhaps you were accidentally seen by the craftsmen in the workshop when you came in and out."
Ye Ansheng picked up the carving knife and carefully trimmed the puppet's eyes: "Da Situ is really good at joking. If I were discovered by the craftsmen, the lamp-making yamen should investigate the workshop. Why did they close your tea house?"
"That's true, but how did this news leak out?" Long Xiulian still looked at Ye Ansheng.
He now suspected that Ye Ansheng betrayed him in order to divert attention.
Ye Ansheng said: "The matter was done by Zhang Deng Yamen, and it must have something to do with Xu Zhiqiong."
Long Xiulian shook his head and said: "Xu Zhiqiong is still in Yu Xianguo. I heard this from your incense burner. It is absolutely unmistakable."
Ye Ansheng put down the puppet in his hand, turned to look at Long Xiulian and said, "Da Situ, why are you always staring at me?"
He Shuiling silently looked at the situation of the two of them, with a little fear on his face, but a lot of peace of mind in his heart.
These two people are at odds with each other, which is very beneficial to He Shuiling's living conditions.
If the relationship between these two people is very harmonious, she will become a pawn of these two people.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Long Xiulian suddenly turned his attention to the door: "There is a sound, there is someone outside!"
Although his ears were still weak, Long Xiulian firmly believed that he heard correctly.
Ye Ansheng walked outside the door and looked around.
Zhong Jianxue was hiding on the beam in the corridor, sweat dripping down one by one.
Zhong Jianxue followed these three people for several days and finally found them in the ascetic workshop.
Both the Mohist cultivators and the Impermanence Dao cultivators have poor perceptual abilities. Long Xiulian was seriously injured and his hearing was impaired, so Zhong Jianxue dared to take such a risk.
Now that Ye Ansheng is approaching step by step, what should he do?
Have a fight with him?
This is the world of the underworld, and practitioners of the underworld do not take advantage. Ye Ansheng's cultivation level is still higher than Zhong Jianxue's.
What's more, there is He Shuiling in the house.
Zhong Jianxue became more and more nervous and pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword.
There was a sound of footsteps in his ears, and Ye Ansheng quickly stopped and hid under the stairs.
Two craftsmen entered the craftsman's building, and one craftsman said: "Just give me the things quickly. It's scary to have to come to this place."
Another craftsman said: "This is a life-threatening business. What if someone sees it?"
Hearing this, Ye Ansheng felt a little at ease. Hearing the two people rustlingly exchanging things, they quickly left the craftsmanship building.
He returned to the house, took a deep breath and said, "They are two craftsmen who resell tools."
There are many special tools in the ascetic workshop, which only high-level craftsmen can have access to.
Some high-level craftsmen would occasionally steal one or two pieces and sell them to skilled craftsmen.
When entering and leaving the ascetic workshop, the craftsmen will be searched and interrogated. Only these skilled craftsmen can avoid being searched, so transactions are completed in the workshop.
Today, these two craftsmen happened to come to the craftsmanship building. They shocked Ye Ansheng, but saved Zhong Jianxue's life.
With such a small twist, the situation of Long Xiulian and Ye Ansheng has eased a bit.
Ye Ansheng thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Is it possible that the eunuch leaked the news?"
He Shuiling said: "You mean Chen Shuncai?"
Long Xiulian pinched his chin and said, "Does he have the courage? Doesn't he want that woman's soul anymore?"
After saying that, he picked up the porcelain bottle on the table and rubbed it for a while: "Maybe he came here for this woman. It seems that we have to move to another place to live, and I have to move to another place to store this thing."
…
In the north of the city, Qingjiangyuanzi Wine Shop.
Chen Shuncai was so drunk that he staggered out of the wine shop.
This is how he lived these days.
He ate wine at night and ate until dawn. He was so drunk that he went back and fell asleep.
I slept until dark and went to have a drink in the evening.
After walking through the street and entering an alley, Xu Zhiqiong quietly followed behind Chen Shuncai.
Relying on Lu Yanyou's inquiries, Xu Zhiqiong found Chen Shuncai's residence. He had been waiting at the entrance of the alley for a long time today.
After just two steps, Chen Shuncai suddenly turned back, and Xu Zhiqiong immediately hid his figure.
Thanks to Chen Shuncai being drunk, otherwise Xu Zhiqiong would not even have a chance to become invisible. It would be too difficult to track Chen Shuncai.
Seeing that there was no one behind him, Chen Shuncai staggered back to his courtyard.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to follow him, but suddenly he felt someone approaching from behind.
He turned around and saw a man in black.
"Brother Zhong?" Xu Zhiqiong was stunned.
The man in black waved to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Brother Ma, please change the place to talk."
…
Chen Shuncai sat on the stool for a while, thinking about whether to go back to the hut.
When I go back to the hut, I will think of Qu Qiao, thinking of her cutting fruit, and thinking of her sitting silently by the bed.
Thinking of her, my heart hurts like a knife.
Forget it, just sleep in the yard.
Just as Chen Shun was about to lie down on the ground, he suddenly saw Qu Qiao standing in the yard, looking at him silently.
Is that Qu Qiao?
that is not.
Every time he was drunk, Chen Shuncai would always see Qu Qiao, sometimes on the street, sometimes in a hut.
He knew it was an illusion, but every time he saw Qu Qiao, he couldn't help but rush over.
This time was no exception. As soon as Chen Shun took two steps forward, Qu Qiao disappeared.
Where has she gone?
Why is it missing again?
Chen Shuncai rubbed his eyes and found that he was standing by the well.
Did she fall into the well?
Chen Shuncai was lying on the edge of the well, looking at the dark bottom of the well, and seemed to see Qu Qiao's figure.
She was there, really there.
Chen Shuncai smiled and crawled into the well little by little.
He is not afraid of falling, he is not afraid of drowning, he is afraid that if he climbs too fast, Qu Qiao will disappear again.
Seeing that Chen Shuncai lost his balance and was about to fall into the well, someone suddenly grabbed him from behind.
Chen Shuncai suddenly turned around and saw a handsome woman standing next to him.
What a handsome woman!
Chen Shuncai had been in the palace for so many years and had seen countless beautiful concubines, but he had never seen such a beautiful woman.
But beauty is not the key, the key is how she got in.
No one in this world can approach Chen Shuncai without him noticing at all.
"Who are you?" Chen Shuncai looked at the woman up and down.
The woman touched Chen Shuncai's face and sighed, "I've wanted to come and see you for a long time."
"Who are you?" Chen Shuncai took two steps backwards.
"If you already have the pain of physical disability, why add the pain of mental disability? Silly boy, we all suffer, but how can a single thought of tenderness in our heart make you suffer to this extent?" This chapter has been completed!
