Chapter 273: An Invitation to the Banquet
"This brother-" The man shuddered suddenly, turned his head to look at Mu Qing, and looked familiar with it, "The sun is just right, why don't you and I sit down and have a cup of tea and talk about life?"
Mrs. Si withdrew her fingers, patted his face with her plain hand, turned her head and said to Mu Qing: "I still can't speak human words...... Well, over to you. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Mrs. Si stepped back lazily.
Mu Qing was in a bad mood, this color embryo dared to peep at Shen Nishang in the bath, as soon as Mrs. Si stepped back, without waiting for the man to speak again, Mu Qing's punch was as fast as lightning!
Mu Qing snorted coldly and retreated, and the Qiushui knife pulled a knife flower and returned it to its sheath in a chic manner.
Hearing only the sound of "ouch", the man covered his right eye and bent down, and after a while, the pain subsided slightly, and he slowly straightened up with a handsome face, and only covered his right eye with his right hand and refused to take it away.
"Brother...... Brother, I really didn't see anything!" The man was heartbroken, "I'm so suave and lovely...... Don't slap your face!"
What about talking about life?
I can't be happy to be friends!
Mu Qing's subordinates were heavy, and the man's speech faintly revealed a touch of blue and black edges, coupled with the embarrassment that was still dripping with water, which was even more funny, and the people in the room couldn't help but laugh even Mrs. Si.
Hua Xun couldn't bear to look at him and turned his head.
This kid...... Couldn't be more humiliating!
He really didn't know ......
"Can you speak human words?" said Mrs. Si, smiling lazily with her arms folded.
Mu Qing took a step closer with his knife.
"Yes!" the man replied categorically.
"Who is the surname, who is the name, and who else is in the family?" Mrs. Si paused, "...... Why are you here?"
"That's all, if Madame has something to say, just ask, Xiaosheng will know everything, and there will be no end to what she says-Madame, don't say that letting Xiaosheng answer a few questions, it is also Xiaosheng's honor, I can't ask for it, and Sansheng is lucky-"
The man's face was extremely sharp and chattering.
Mrs. Si glanced at Mu Qing, but before Mu Qing's eyes swept over, the man immediately paused, and instantly looked serious: "The surname is Ouyang Zeming, he is twenty and five years old, he has not yet married, and there is only one righteous father in the family, who is the owner of Taohuawu, and he is ...... Dongdu people's clan. ”
Dongdu people?
Shen Nishang glanced at Hua Xun thoughtfully, but Hua Xun didn't make a sound.
That's right, talk more about people and suffer less. Mrs. Si smiled, "And one more question?"
"Naturally, it's for Xiaomei-" A cold light flashed in Mu Qing's eyes, and Ouyang Zeming immediately changed his words, "Naturally, it's to report to Miss Shen, Mi Houbang has returned to Yunzhou!"
Several people in the room, including Mu Qing and Ling Fei, both of them were slightly shocked!
Shen Nishang saw Mu Qing and Ling Fei's expressions: "You also know?"
Ling Fei bowed: "Jia Yi has already found out that the person who helped Shen Muheng get the trade route introduction half a year ago is this person. ”
"The Mi family's financial situation is not good now. Mu Qing looked at Mrs. Shen Nishangsi, "When Mi Junzhu left the clan, the old lady of the Mi family once took out most of the dowry, which was a lot, and then secretly funded a lot. But since three years ago, Mi Houbang began to sell his property, and now the family property has gone to seven or eight out of ten, half a year ago to help Shen Muheng, which also has a forty percent share of Mi Houbang. According to the information found, it should be for this reason that the two made friends in the first place, and there was no other reason. ”
Shen Nishang understood.
In other words, Mi Houbang and Shen Muheng made friends for money at the beginning, and it had nothing to do with her.
But strange, why is Mi Houbang so short of money?
Where did the Mi family's entire property go?
"Mi Houbang is your frequent visitor?" Shen Nishang looked at Ouyang Zeming.
Ouyang Zeming smiled softly and amiably: "Back to Miss Shen's words, it is exact." ”
"What did he do with you?" asked Shen Nisheng.
Ouyang Zeming period Ai Ai.
"Can't say it?" Shen Nishang was not angry, and her tone was calm.
"There are rules...... Ouyang Zeming glanced at Mu Qing beside him carefully, and whispered, "The part related to Miss Shen, the rules are rules, and human favors can be spoken, but Zeming can't be too much, and I ask the girl to forgive ......."
"Okay, I'm not embarrassed for you. Shen Nishang smiled slightly, "Let's talk about the part related to me, right?"
The green silk is as smooth as satin, the plain face is like jade, and the soft beauty between a smile is extraordinarily moving.
Ouyang Zeming was stunned again, his eyes instantly glowed, and his surprise was hard to hide.
Ling Fei hugged his arms and coughed lightly.
"Say, say, say it right away!" Ouyang Zeming instantly came back to his senses, "On the eighth day of the seventh month, Mi Houbang took the portrait of Miss Shen and asked him to find out the family history. Xiaosheng happened to be in Yunzhou at the time, and because he was a regular customer, it was not troublesome to ask, so he went to check. Delivered in three days. ”
"What did you check?
"But how can the business of five hundred years of silver be worth my deal?" Ouyang Zeming straightened his chest, "I only checked the name, age, family history, etc., all of which are ordinary situations. Miss Shen was not in Yunzhou at the time, so it was difficult to check even if she wanted to. ”
"That's all, really nothing else?" Mu Qing looked at him coldly.
"Brother, really not. Ouyang Zeming smiled and said, "Five hundred taels of silver is only worth this price, how can my brother lie to you? Really, it really can't be true! I don't believe you asked Hua Xun, brother, I won't do a loss-making deal? He is an old man, and he is also ugly, is it difficult for me to return the friendship with my brother? That is absolutely impossible." ”
Everyone looked at Hua Xun.
Hua Xun nodded: "He is lustful first, and he loves money secondly." ”
To be concise, but also to the point.
Before everyone could speak again, Ouyang Zeming spoke again.
Zhen Zhen said: "Hua Xun, this is your fault." How can it be said so vulgarly? Everyone has a love for beauty...... Brother, I just love a little more than ordinary people, the so-called romantic but not obscene, is to say that my brother is like a person. ”
Ouyang Zeming had a serious face, as if the person who was blocked in the room just now was not him.
"Yes, you're not indecent. Hua Xun was expressionless, "The nasty people have been smoked into soup chickens by smoked rabbits." ”
Ouyang Zeming froze, snorted, and turned his head to look at Shen Nisheng, "When I saw the portrait of Miss Shen that day, I felt very fateful, and now I can see it, and it is like a familiar sight." Earlier, I asked Hua Xun, Hua Xun was hired by Miss Shen, I wanted to go with Hua Xun, this kid is not a brother at all, I haven't finished speaking, he secretly ran away. I can only follow along, just to tell Miss Shen that Mi Houbang, who dared to watch Miss Shen, has returned to Yunzhou. At the city gate that went forward in two hours, Xiao Sheng felt that the news was very important, so he took the liberty to come to the door...... I never thought it would cause everyone to misunderstand. ”
Ouyang Zeming also covered his right eye and made a sighing appearance, which was decent, but it was extremely funny.
Hua Xun turned his head again, not wanting to look at this shameless kid again.
Everyone in the room knows it, but at this time, I don't want to talk nonsense with this guy who is full of horses.
Ling Fei looked at Shen Nisheng, and at the same time took out a red invitation card from his arms and handed it to Shen Nisheng: "The invitation card of the second young grandmother of the Shili Pumi family is about to ask the three of us to go to the banquet tonight." ”
Shi Hongyi was going to a banquet when they asked them to do so?
So late?
It was eight o'clock...... It's almost bedtime in this world.
Shi Hongyi said that the help was tonight?
But Ouyang Zeming said that Mi Houbang had just returned to Yunzhou, was this a coincidence or deliberate?
"The young grandmother of the Mi family is missing, can you Taohuawu know about it?" Shen Nishang asked Ouyang Zeming.
Ouyang Zeming was stunned: "I really don't know this." ”
Seeing Shen Nisheng's suspicious eyes, he explained sincerely: "Although we do this business, there are thousands of people in the world, and there are thousands of things every day, and Xiaosheng can't take care of it." ”
"Then how do you know that Mi Houbang has returned to Yunzhou?" Mu Qing looked at him and asked.
"That's because—" Ouyang Zeming paused for a moment, then smiled and flattered, "This person is a frequent customer, and for frequent customers, his subordinates naturally pay more attention to their whereabouts." Just in case. ”
Shen Nishang glanced at him, and always felt that his words were a little untrue, but at this moment there was something else to ask, this person seemed to be hippie and smiling and easy to talk, but in fact, he was flamboyant, and his brain was spinning very fast.
Mrs. Si was so angry before, and she was amused by this person pretending to be foolish for a while, but now she is not angry.
"Mi Houbang went to you on the eighth day of the seventh month to place a list, when did he leave Yunzhou?" Shen Nishang asked without moving, "Your subordinates should know, right?"
"This is indeed known," Ouyang Zeming nodded briskly, "The order of the eighth day of the first month, we will send the letter to Shilipu in three days." He left Yunzhou ten days later. A man should have walked on the twenty-first day and night. ”
Ten miles are spread outside the city, and Mi Houbang is not shackled even if he goes back and forth late at night.
"Do you know where he went?" Mu Qing asked with a deep groan.
"I don't know. Ouyang Zeming shook his head, very sincere, "...... I really don't know about this. My people did not find out that the man was absent until the 22nd, so I guessed that the man left on the night of the 21st. ”
Mrs. Si glanced out of the door, and the sky had already darkened, so she reminded: "It's the end of the unitary time." ”
"It's better to ...... I'll go too. ”
Ouyang Zeming let go of his hand with a flattering face, revealing a blue and black eye, and blinked vigorously at Mrs. Chongsi.
Mrs. Si laughed "poof"!
###
A group of seven people, Shen Nishang, Mu Qing, Ling Fei, Hua Xun, Kong Xiang, and two Yuchun and Ouyang Zeming who were going to follow them.
When I arrived at Shilipu, I was still a quarter of an hour away from arriving at the right time.
From the outside of the courtyard wall, the Mi family's compound was pitch black.
Hua Xun jumped on the wall, and the entire courtyard only had a light in the middle hall and a side hall.
Hua Xun came down and reported the situation.
Everyone frowned.
There has never been a good feast.
Although Shi Hongyi has no grudges against everyone, because of this, coupled with the disappearance of Cai Huanting, the grandmother of the Mi family, and then this situation at this moment, it seems more and more strange and inexplicable.
Sometimes people don't hurt people, but things hurt people.
Ling Fei looked at Shen Nisheng: "What do you say?"
Shen Nishang had already told Shi Hongyi about seeing Shi Hongyi during the day, Ling Fei was curious and fearless, just waiting for Shen Nishang to make a decision.
Shen Nishang hung the curtain and thought for a moment, walked to the front door, and knocked on the knocker.
Now that you have received the post, you don't have to be a wall customer.
She decided to trust her instincts anyway.
There was sadness and pain in Shi Hongyi's eyes, but there was no malice.
After a while, the door opened, revealing Huaiwei's slightly red face, and when she saw Shen Nishang and a few people, she smiled reluctantly and made a gesture.
Huai Wei answered the door very quickly, apparently waiting near the door all the time.
Shen Nishang's gaze swept over Huai Wei's reddish eyes and walked in.
It was really dark inside, and the doorman next to it was also dark and silent, and it was obvious that there was no one.
"Why don't you see the people in the mansion?" asked Shen Nisheng.
Huai Wei lowered her head and whispered: "The young grandmother has taken their vacation, and the young grandmother is waiting in the flower hall, please come here." Grandma Young said, you don't have to think about it, she just asks you to be a witness, and she will not cause trouble to you. ”
With that, Huai Wei hung her head and turned around and walked ahead.
Several people exchanged glances with each other, and Ling Fei took the lead.
"Nishang, I'll go behind you. Mu Qing said softly.
With Kong Xiang, one left and one right, walked three steps behind Shen Nishang.
The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and Mu Qing still feels that he should be careful.
Ouyang Zeming rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, holding his chest and saying righteously: "Miss Shen, let Xiaosheng take the first step." ”
Hua Xun looked at him with disdain and exposed him mercilessly: "Just rely on your kung fu to escape?"
Ouyang Zeming choked, and soon said unashamedly: "Even if I run for my life, I will protect Miss Shen and escape together!"
Mu Qing brushed him away, his face was cold: "It's in the way, get out of the way!"
In front of him, Huaiwei and Ling Fei had already traveled for a while, and Shen Nishang took Yuchun to follow quickly, and while they were moving, they looked around, and the surroundings were still silent.
Except for Huaiwei, there is really no one to see.
After tea, the group arrived in front of the hall.
Looking at the half-closed door and the hazy light on the window screen, everyone stopped.
Huai Wei glanced back, pushed the door and entered: "Young grandma, the guests have arrived." ”
"Good. You can go too. ”
Shi Hongyi's voice came from the door, his tone was calm, and he couldn't hear anything.
Huai Wei burst into tears instantly, biting her lip and not making a sound.
No one made a move immediately, Ouyang Zeming rushed out all of a sudden, ran to the door, first glanced at Huai Wei, who was silently crying by the door, and cautiously poked his head into the house.
Just one glance, and I was immediately stunned!
Ling Feihua saw that the situation was wrong, and quickly walked up the steps, Ling Fei pushed the door open, and the scene in the room came into everyone's eyes.
There were only four people in the house.
There is a table in the flower hall, and the dishes are exquisite and sumptuous.
The eldest young man of the Mi family, the second young man of the rice family, and the second young man of the rice family, sat at the table respectively, leaning on the back of the chair, motionless, although the posture was normal, but it looked a little strange.
Two steps away from the table, a woman's body with a dagger in her chest was lying on the ground with her hair in a loose bun.
The woman is in her prime, although she is embarrassed but gorgeously dressed, and her frightened expression before death is frozen on the soft face, which looks a little weird and terrifying at the moment.
Yu Chun let out a low cry, and covered his mouth in the next moment.
Shen Nishang recognized at a glance that the deceased was Cai Huanting, the grandmother of the Mi family.
After just one glance, he turned his gaze to the two male hosts of the Mi family at the table.
Mi Houyan's expression was stunned, as if he was wandering out of the world, and when he saw a few people entering, he only moved his eyes slightly, and then lost his soul again.
Mi Houbang's movements leaning on the back of the chair were slightly wrong, and the expression in his eyes was very different from Mi Houyan's, with a painful look on his face, but his eyes were full of resentment staring at Shi Hongyi, who was also sitting at the table opposite.
There were a few points of silver light on both of them, faintly refracted light.
