"Ting'er, are you hungry, my father asked someone to make you osmanthus cake, go back to the room and eat it." Zhou Gai suddenly grabbed Zhou Ting's wrist, quickly put the phalanges into his sleeve, and said to Zhou Ting kindly.

"There is osmanthus cake, the little bird loves to eat it." Zhou Ting withdrew her hand to applaud, bouncing around a few people, like seven or eight-year-old children.

"Well, then you can take the little birds and eat them." Zhou Gai returned the small bag to Zhou Ting, and found a girl who looked quite clever to take Zhou Ting down.

When Zhou Ting stepped out of the door, she suddenly paused, then looked back and smiled at Shen Manwan, "The little bird told you not to sleep too long, if you sleep for too long, your brain will be confused." ”

Shen Man was stunned. Sleeping too long...... Could it be that she knew we were dreaming?

"Miss Zhou, wait, I still have something to ask you." Shen Man chased after him, but then followed by another shadow, the shadow was extremely fierce, and he was about to grab Shen Man's neck when he saw it, but he was suddenly wrapped around his waist by a silk silk behind him and stood on the spot.

Shen Man felt the movement behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Zhou Gai stopped in the room, with a few circles of silk wrapped around his waist, and the other end of the silk was dragged in the hands of the Tang Gate Supervisor, who was expressionless at the moment, and his posture was still tall and elegant, as if he had not made much effort. But the sound of the silk being tense and almost breaking could be heard at the scene, and it could be seen that there was a fierce battle going on in the dark.

"Lord Zhou, my sister just wants to talk to Miss Zhou, why are you so nervous?" Tang Jiuyue said without hurry.

Zhou Gai snorted coldly, "The little girl is weak and needs a good rest." ”

"Then let my sister accompany Miss Zhou to the room to rest and chat a few words, it won't be delayed for too long." Tang Jiuyue didn't give an inch.

Zhou Gai couldn't get rid of her at the moment, so he could only warn Shen Man verbally, "Ting'er is frail and sickly, you can't stimulate her, and you can't disturb her for too long, understand?" ”

Seeing the tension here, Xie Pan hurriedly got up to play a round, "Lord Zhou, these two Tang girls are both people sent by Taige, and they will never be unfavorable to Miss Zhou, you can rest assured." ”

Zhou Gai saw that he said so, and finally gave Taige a little face, and let Shen Man accompany Zhou Ting to the boudoir. At this end, Tang Jiuyue also put down the long silk in her hand, and re-seated generously as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Gai sat opposite her, glaring at Tang Jiuyue with the vicious eyes he had trained to kill the enemy. But this trick had no effect on Tang Jiuyue, and Tang Gatekeeper tasted tea elegantly and handed over the task of dealing with Zhou Gai to poor Lord Xie.

"May I ask Lord Zhou, when did Ling Ai become like this?" Xie Pan wanted to be close, showing concern, full of acting skills, but at the same time, he did not forget to seize the opportunity to investigate the case.

Zhou Gai's face was displeased, "What are you asking for?" ”

Xie Fanleng choked.

Tang Jiuyue slowly lifted the lid of the tea and blew open the tea leaves floating on it, her eyes were as silent as water, dull and waveless. He asked calmly and comfortably, "Lord Zhou, I heard that there is a delicious osmanthus cake, can you send us some?" ”

At the same time, the backyard.

Miss Zhou Ting was squatting on the ground watching the ants move, completely forgetting the promise to eat osmanthus cake. Shen Man also squatted on the ground with her, the two heads were together, and the sunlight pulled the shadows of the two together.

"When did you get this bag?" Shen Man asked, holding his chin.

Zhou Ting's eyelashes blinked, and she recalled carefully, "A long, long time ago, my father asked me to be the bride of my eldest brother, and after my eldest brother disappeared, he entrusted this bag to me. ”

Shen Man was a little surprised, it seemed that Zhou Ting's thinking was quite clear, and he knew what he was asking. "Did the big brother find him later?"

"No," Zhou Ting began to mumble to herself, Shen Man couldn't hear what she said clearly, but finally heard a little clearly. "The big brother has become a little bird, and the little bird has been talking to me all the time." She shook the bag, and then leaned closer to the bag to listen, but after a moment she burst into tears.

"Little birds? Bird, where are you? Why don't you talk to me? Isn't that Dingli too dark and terrible, can I ask someone to light a candle for you? ”

Shen Man was full of excitement, held her shoulders and let her face herself, and asked softly as low as possible in his voice, "You said that the big brother became a little bird, and the little bird was trapped in the dark ding?" ”

Zhou Ting just muttered, "Little bird...... I invite you to eat osmanthus cake...... Can't you find your mouth? I'll tell Daddy to give you back your hands and mouth......"

Zhou Ting's love became more and more excited, and she began to arrest people indiscriminately. At this time, the girl who had been on the side came out and hugged Zhou Ting to calm her down, humming an unknown song in her mouth, which sounded inexplicably warm and comfortable.

Zhou Ting really calmed down gradually, and finally even closed her eyes and slept on this girl's shoulder.

The girl said to Shen Man, "Miss is tired, I'll send Miss back." "She has a lot of strength, and she can carry Zhou Ting alone.

"I heard Master Zhou say that there were a lot of girls in the past, all because of your young lady?" Shen Man asked.

The girl answered, and didn't say much, so she quietly carried her young lady all the way and disappeared at the end of the path.

Shen Man was ready to go back to find Tang Jiuyue, it seemed that this trip was not in vain.

Back inside, several people looked like they were in a good mood. Shen Man went to Tang Jiuyue's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear, Tang Jiuyue looked as usual, and let Shen Man deal with it himself after listening. Shen Man touched his nose and plucked up the courage to question Zhou Gai, "Lord Zhou, is that finger bone of the Tang family the son of the Tang family?" ”

Zhou Gai's face turned pale, and he denied it, "No." ”

"Who is that?"

"I don't know."

"Do you know that Tang Gongzi is missing?"

"I don't know."

Shen Man stopped and asked Tang Jiuyue for help with his gaze. Zhou Gai is a seamless egg, and it looks like it's hard to speak.

Tang Jiuyue coughed lightly, slowly stood up, and then slowly paced to Zhou Gai.

Zhou Gai was a little nervous, leaned back, and asked, "What do you want to do, I am an official of the imperial court, and I am a scholar of the order!" ”

"Don't be nervous, Lord Zhou, I just have a few questions I still want to ask." Tang Jiuyue said with a smile, "Who set up the tripod at the door?" ”

"The Onmyoji in the old man's mansion."

"Where is he now?"

"I've returned home."

"So coincidentally?" Tang Jiuyue gradually put away her smile.

"Believe it or not."

Tang Jiuyue smiled and said leisurely, "I want to borrow something from Lord Zhou's mansion." ”

"What's that?"

Tang Jiuyue's lips closed delicately, "The big ding at the door." ”

Shen Man, "......"

Xie Fan, "......"

Zhou Gai was very generous this time, and leaned back comfortably on the chair and said in a long voice, "As long as you can carry it away, please-"

Tang Jiuyue didn't think about it, "Thank you." ”

After a while, Tang Jiuyue took Shen Man out of the Zhou Mansion gently and skillfully, and then Xie Fan chased after him, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "Miss Tang, this tripod is too heavy, I can't move it even after looking for twenty heads!" ”

Tang Jiuyue asked, "Do you want to move this empty tripod or move the full tripod full of corpses?" ”

Xie Pan was taken aback, and then compromised, "I'd better continue to think of a way." With that, he drooped his head and went back.

So the two Tang girls left Master Xie in a dignified manner and walked side by side on the bustling streets of the capital. Shen Man frowned and asked, "Why do you have to transport the tripod of the Zhou Mansion out?" ”

Tang Jiuyue said simply, "I want to compare and contrast." ”

Shen Man frowned and said, "What do you want to compare?" ”

"Although the tripod of the Zhou Mansion is similar to the tripod outside the city at first glance, I always feel that there are still strange places in some places, so I simply asked Zhou Gai to transport this tripod to the scene for comparison."

Shen Manchu said, "No one can transport such a big tripod from the Zhou Mansion unknowingly, and the only one who can do this is Zhou Gai." As for whether it was empty or full when it was shipped out, there is no way to know, but at least we can be sure that the son of the Tang family must have died in the hands of the Zhou family, which is evidenced by the phalanges in Zhou Ting's hands. ”

Tang Jiuyue said, "It is certain that Zhou Gai involved human lives, but why did he kill people, why did he kill so many people, and why did he put them in the Ding and bury them in the soil, and gave this piece of land to my uncle, these problems need to be solved urgently." ”
