CHAPTER XXXIV

()"I think that Gonggong Zheng has already ordered everything, and there will be no chaos among the people below." (Fengwu Literature Network) "Yizheng said while taking off the armor for the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sighed, her eyes were cold and sharp: "Hmph, speaking of which, it's all waste snacks, and they let others get their hands on it, and make this matter so out of control, otherwise the mourning family and the family will have to do it to this point!" ”

Then, she remembered something again, and slapped down the white jade teapot on the table in annoyance, and the peacock green and pale gold on the tips and tails of her eyebrows and eyes made her look more and more fierce: "Those dog minions who deserve to die are really impatient to dare to break ground on the head of the mourning family!" ”

The delicate jade pot fell to the ground and instantly shattered into countless pieces.

Although most of the palace people who were waiting in the room were sent out, there was no one to serve the Queen Mother Lafayette, so naturally there were a few henchmen and grandmothers around the Queen Mother who were standing After that, now seeing Feng Yan was furious, they immediately knelt down, their movements were crisp and neat, and they didn't even seem to see the fragments on the ground, but they knelt on it stiffly, which shows that they are used to kneeling.

On the contrary, Yizheng did not kneel, but smiled gently, put down the queen mother's softness, walked behind her, stretched out his fingers and rested on her temples and rubbed them slowly: "Lafayette, those minions have their own regrets, you don't have to be angry with those ants, if it hurts the gods, it will weigh the hearts of those villains." ”

Yizheng's fingers were slender and slightly cool, extremely comfortable to press on his temples, and his gesture was good, but it made the Queen Mother slowly calm down, and simply half leaned on his body elegantly, smelling the faint smell of herbs, and said in a cold voice: "That's right, that thief dared to calculate the head of the mourning family, as long as the Du family is here, as long as the emperor sitting on the throne still has the blood of my Du family flowing in his body, the little wild species without the blood of the Du family will not want to touch the throne in the lifetime of the mourning family!" ”

Yizheng echoed with a smile: "That's nature, now His Majesty is Lafayette's parent, and filial piety comes first, so naturally he will not disobey Lafayette." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sighed lightly, and her expression showed some dazed and sad expressions, and she said faintly after a long time: "Yes, he will not disobey the mourning family, it is all the fault of the fox spirit back then, not to mention that she caused the emperor's body to decay, but also harmed the emperor and the mourning family......." ”

Mother-child centrifugation.

The Queen Mother didn't say these four words, but everyone in the room knew it, and they were silent, and they didn't dare to come out.

The queen mother held a handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes were cold and ruthless: "The fox spirit is still alive when it is dead, leaving the little at the beginning of a hundred miles, the mourning family really hates the soft-heartedness at the beginning, and actually left a life of the fox spirit bloodline, so that the little sits big, the last time the king of Beijun sent so many masters on the mountain road before the spring banquet but he couldn't take the life of the little, but was found by the little, and the person sent to break half of his life, slaughtered all the doors, just a stupid thing like the king of the north county, can't do a little thing at all, He still wants the mourning family to avenge him, hum! ”

The suffocating breath in the air made people dare not move even more, and the palace people who were kneeling on the ground all lowered their heads any longer.

But after a while, the doctor looked at the sky, broke the depression in the room, and said softly to the queen mother: "It's not early for the minister to see the sky, Lafayette has eaten for half an hour after lunch, and it's time to rest." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand with a whimsical expression: "Hmm." ”

The doctor was looking at the kneeling grandmothers and palace maids, and nodded slightly almost visibly.

The grandmothers and palace maids immediately got up consciously, and there were blood stains of different shades on the hem of their clothes.

One of the grandmothers came up and said respectfully: "Lafayette, we are all stained with some dirt, go down first to change our clothes, so as not to stain the eyes of the Queen Mother Lafayette, here and the doctor will serve first, okay?" ”

It has always been inappropriate for the medical officer to stay alone in the harem to serve the master, and there are no palace people around, but it is extremely natural for the grandmother to ask this, that is, no one else has a strange look on their faces, which is obviously commonplace.

The Queen Mother glanced at Yizheng and saw that he was looking at her gently, so she nodded and said lazily: "You all go." ”

Several grandmothers and palace maids immediately bowed down again to thank them, and then carefully retreated.

The inner hall of the cool water pavilion was silent, and only a few palace maids outside the hall stood with their heads bowed expressionlessly, like people carved from wood and clay, and the only sound was the chirping of the trees from time to time.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the carved door of the inner hall opened with a 'squeak', and the doctor walked out with the medicine box, and the medicine boy who was waiting outside immediately went up to take the medicine box.

An eldest grandmother also greeted her at the same time and smiled respectfully: "The old body sends the adults out of the palace." ”

The doctor saw that the big grandmother had changed her clothes, so he nodded and followed her to the door, in front of the palace gate, he took a small blue porcelain medicine bottle from the medicine box and handed it to the grandmother, and said gently: "The heat is too heavy, the queen mother will inevitably be more irritated these days, the grandmothers have worked hard, this is the best trauma medicine, three times a day mixed with water and applied to the wound, the wound will be healed in two or three days, and it will not leave a scar." ”

The grandmother hurriedly took the medicine bottle and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Yizheng, the pain in the heart of the Queen Mother, where do the slaves and maids not know." ”

Before leaving the palace gate, the doctor smiled: "In this case, you also have to explain more, His Royal Highness the regent is not in front of him now, and if you don't mention Your Royal Highness on weekdays, the Queen Mother will be relieved." ”

The grandmother hesitated for a while, nodded, and said casually: "Yes, you said that since His Royal Highness the Regent went to Mount Emei for summer vacation in advance this year, why don't we invite the national teacher back to the palace in advance, the national teacher is extraordinary, and the old slave sees that the Queen Mother Lafayette has a lot of discomfort these days, and I am afraid that it will be useful to the national teacher." ”

The national teacher is peerless, knows the supernatural powers, bears the mandate of heaven, is the living Buddha personally selected by the previous Qintian supervisor and the lamplighter, just raised under the lamplighter, since he was a child, he grew up in isolation on the void mountain, some are not very familiar with the world, when he entered the palace soon after accidentally bumped into His Royal Highness the Regent who had just recovered from a serious illness, His Royal Highness the Regent was shocked, and actually snatched the national teacher back, insisting that the national teacher was included in the harem, and later the Queen Mother personally came forward to block the matter.

From now on, when His Royal Highness is in the palace, the national teacher will definitely return to the Void Mountain to cultivate, and when His Royal Highness is not in the palace, the national teacher will return to the palace.

When the doctor heard this, he said lightly: "This matter still depends on the decision of the Queen Mother and the Lamplighter, the national teacher is cultivating in the Void Mountain, and it is not for you and me to decide if you and I are ordinary people." ”

The grandmother thought about it, and that's right, the relationship between the lamplighter and the queen mother Lafayette is extraordinary, and the queen mother just talked about these things with the lamplighter, and they ordinary people don't have to worry about it at all

Then, the eldest grandmother politely sent the doctor out of the palace without mentioning it.

July is scorching, the river is windy, and although the scenery on both sides of the canal is not as good as in March, it is the best time to travel along the water.

Autumn leaves and a boatload of people hurried slowly, about seven or eight days, and finally arrived in Huainan.

The so-called Huainan is actually the collective name of the east bank, Nanling and Zhongjun, the east bank and Nanling are counties, and Zhongjun is a county, these three places are in the water and land hub, and the natural busy and prosperous are a lot more prosperous in the inland.

When they arrived on the east bank first, they saw that there were many wharves built on the east bank near the river, and there were many merchant ships and passenger ships, waiting to enter the alley in an orderly manner.

"It seems that the prosperity of this Huainan is really eye-catching, and it is not surprising that there will be water bandits here." Autumn leaves looked at the situation on the shore and raised his eyebrows.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, not to mention that it is so prosperous here, but it is unbelievable that the water bandits are so powerful that they dare to hijack the royal merchant ships.

Zhou Yu also touched his chin and agreed: "I heard that these three places only pay taxes every year, only slightly second to the one in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

At this time, the owner of the ship suddenly came up and said respectfully: "My lord, we have already received the number plate to enter the port, let's pack up and prepare to get off the ship, the villain has already seen that there is someone from our master of ceremonies and yamen on the shore to pick it up." ”

Qiu Yebai nodded, and was about to go back to the cabin with Zhou Yu to get something, when he saw Mei Xiangzi squatting under the wall of the ship with a somewhat panicked expression.

"Xiaoxiang, what's wrong?" Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows and looked at Mei Xiangzi, who looked uneasy and nervous: "There are people in the family below!" ”

Akiba was stunned, turned his face to look at the land, and sure enough, he saw that there were many people looking around near those docks, although most of them were not uniformly dressed, but they could still see from their interlaced eyes and body language that there was definitely a connection between them this time.

"My lord, do we want to get off the ship?" Zhou Yu also saw it, and immediately said in a low voice.

Autumn leaves' white eyes flashed slightly, and then said lightly: "As long as Mei Su is not here, there is nothing to worry about, even if you are easy to get off the ship at this time, it is difficult to avoid the Mei family all the time in the future, not to mention that Mei Su will arrive at the latest by only one day later?" ”

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, but quickly reacted, and said softly: "My lord, do you mean that Mei Su will not publicize this matter in order to take care of Miss Mei's reputation, even if he sends an order to the Mei family's semicolon here and asks them to help find it, he will not tell the truth?" ”

Qiu Yebai glanced at Zhou Yu, and looked at him again in his heart, this is really a smart person.

She nodded, then stretched out her hand and pulled Mei Xiangzi up, and said indifferently: "Xiang'er, if you can't face your own people in your family calmly, and you are always worried that your true identity will be discovered, then you should wait for your brother's boat to pick you up immediately, and save yourself from being found out with other men and ruining your reputation." ”

Mei Xiangzi is a smile, she is quite peaceful these days, so Qiu Yebai has spoken a lot softer to her, and it is rare to say such harsh words, a trace of embarrassment flashed on her face, she withdrew her hand, and said coldly: "Xiang'er understands, Si Shao." ”

Akiba Bai looked at her and ordered, "Go and pack your things, remember, you're just a Xiang'er now." ”

With that, she turned around and walked towards the cabin, Mei Xiangzi looked at her back, lowered her eyes, and a complex glow flashed under her eyes.

After Akiba Bai and them got off the boat, they saw three people dressed as factory guards waiting on the dock, and when they saw Akiba coming down from the big boat depicting the symbol of the blood lotus of the celebrant supervisor, they immediately greeted them, and after the head of the person looked over Akiba Bai and others, he asked respectfully: "Dare to ask, but the swing is the boss, Lord Qiu?" ”

Akiba Bai nodded: "Exactly." ”

The man immediately put on a smiling face and arched his hand: "Don't be suspicious, it is this Huainan ceremonial supervisor who walked the chief of the yamen to greet Lord Qianzong." ”

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, Lord Mo's name is quite interesting." Autumn leaves are white and smiling.

Mo didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "It is interesting to be able to smile at Mr. Boqian, my lord, please have already cleaned up the residence of you and your entourage in the yamen." ”

Later, after Zhou Yu and Mo Su also saw the salute, they prepared to leave the dock and take a sedan chair to the celebrant to walk through the yamen.

On the way out of the dock, Qiu Yebai's eyes swept over the nearby merchants as if unintentionally: "It seems that there are a lot of industries of the imperial merchant Mei family near here. ”

If she is not mistaken, many docks have the Mei family's family flag near them.

Mo Wei nodded: "Yes, at least two-thirds of the wharves on the east coast are the Mei family's industry, so whether it is in terms of loading and unloading volume, or other business exchanges, the Mei family is a big family here." ”

When Qiu Yebai heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked a little puzzled: "Ben Qianza remembers that the imperial court rarely opens the dock to private people to build, how can this Mei family be able to build a dock privately?" ”

Since the founding of the Tianji Empire, in order to prevent profiteers from monopolizing and causing the silver to be shaken, the construction of private commercial wharves is to allocate silver from the local treasury for construction, even if the treasury is not good for a while, it will first collect silver taels from the rich households, and then return it to the rich households again in the next year, and will definitely not let the people build on their own, and the local state officials will lose their officials and go to prison.

This is the law of death set during the reign of Emperor Zhenwu.

"Adults don't know." Mo Su stretched out his hand and compared the surroundings, and said with a smile: "This wharf was indeed built by the imperial court, but the Mei family rented the wharf from the imperial court at a very high annual rent three generations ago, so although the imperial court has a wharf, the use of this wharf still belongs to the Mei family, but in the past, the Mei family only leased two wharves, and after the young master Mei began to become in power, the wharf here gradually fell into the hands of the young master of the Mei family." ”

"Three generations?" Qiu Yebai paused and sneered lightly: "This Mei family is really capable." ”

This kind of lease really bypassed the dead law of the year, the Mei family has to say that it is indeed very capable, Mei Su is even more of a dragon and phoenix among the people, and has expanded the territory of the Mei family more than twice, even if it is tax, according to the relationship between the Mei family and the Du family, the local government will never dare to open his mouth to collect rent from the Mei family.

And the Mei family earns all kinds of silver money every year on this wharf, I am afraid that I don't know that it is more than ten times the rent!

She looked at the people waiting for the number plate under the big plum flag not far away, and didn't say anything more, turned around and followed Mo Su all the way out, and after getting into the sedan chair, she went straight to the Yamen.

Mei Xiangzi lowered her head and hid between Zhou Yu and the others, although she promised Qiu Yebai that she would not be afraid of her head and tail, but she was still a little worried, and she couldn't retract into the crack in the ground, so she still relied on Qiu Ye Bai to get quite close, and when she heard the conversation between Qiu Ye Bai and Mo Su, her expression was a little complicated.

This Lord Qiu, no matter how he said that, it didn't sound like he was in Kwamei's family.

And as Qiu Yebai expected, although those people of the Mei family focused on supervising the ships of the celebrant supervisor, but in the end, as a citizen, where did they dare to really search the official ship, and found some excuses to come and test, although their eyes also swept over Mei Xiangzi, but seeing her cowering appearance and the dark yellow of her face, they didn't pay attention to it anymore.

The end result was that they left the dock in a smooth way.

……

When Qiu Yebai and his party waited for the celebrant to walk through the yamen, they happened to meet a group of people coming out of the door, with a lot of horses and luggage at the door, looking as if they were about to leave.

Akiba Bai looked at the waist card on the waist of the group of people, and knew who he had met.

Mo Su had already taken the lead in getting out of the sedan chair, walked to the horse of the leader and smiled anxiously and flatteringly: "Master Du, are you leaving, didn't you mean the boat in the afternoon?" ”

He had heard that this Qian Zong of the Wind Hunting Department was scheduled to be on the boat in the afternoon, otherwise he would not let this powerful figure leave by himself in order to pick up an insignificant Akiba Bai.

"Brother-in-law, why are you leaving?" When Zhou Yu saw his acquaintance, he naturally immediately got out of the sedan chair and went over to greet him excitedly.

Du Qian, the head of the Wind Hunting Department, Du Yutian married Zhou Yu's eldest sister, and naturally he is also Zhou Yu's brother-in-law, Zhou Yu entered the Wind Department or this brother-in-law made some effort, not to mention those who ate, drank and had fun later, many of them were taken by Du Yutian to Zhou Yu, and the relationship between the two was not bad.

Seeing that they had all passed, Qiu Yebai naturally had no reason to avoid it, so he also got off the sedan chair and greeted the person on the horse: "Mr. Du Qian." ”

Du Yutian has a long face, slender eyes, two mustaches on his lips, and a rather burly figure, looking at his facial features, and even a little upright, he saw the autumn leaves coming over, a glimmer of light flashed in his slender eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Swing Total." ”

"Mr. Du Qian, leave at this time, but you have already finished investigating the case and returned to Beijing with the brothers from the Wind Catching Department?"

Qiu Ye Bai said as he glanced at Zhou Yu, who was still a little excited on his face, Qiu Ye Bai's cold eyes as cold as snow instantly made Zhou Yu feel excited, and he immediately sobered up, only then did he notice that the people around him were looking at them with contempt and hostility.

Since that incident with the Wind Catching Department, no matter what the truth of the matter is, after all, the Qin Commander who died was indeed a member of the Wind Catching Department, and it was also something he caused himself, in order to avoid suspicion, Du Yutian had never seen him since he said that he couldn't save Situ.

After Zhou Yu froze, he lowered his head and took a step back in those eyes full of hostility.

Du Yutian glanced at him and didn't say anything, just looked at Qiu Yebai and said politely: "Yes, all the clues we can find have been checked, and the rest depends on the swing." ”

After that, he didn't wait for Akiba Bai to answer, just waved his horsewhip and ordered: "Let's go." ”

The men of the Wind Catcher immediately pulled the reins and left with him, heading for the dock, and the smoke and dust kicked up by the horses' hooves suddenly spread on the surface, choking people and coughing.

Mo Su and the people around Zhou Yu all dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, who made the wind chasing department powerful.

Autumn leaf white is extremely fast, and when the other party pulled the reins, he was already standing far away, and by the way, he took out a handkerchief and blocked his mouth and nose.

After some tossing, Qiu Yebai, Zhou Yu and others all settled down, and as soon as the Wind Catching Department left, all the better side rooms were let out, and Qiu Yebai also changed the room where Du Yutian lived.

After a simple placement, Qiu Yebai summoned Zhou Yu and Mo Su and ordered one thing.

Zhou Yu was stunned: "What, my lord is going to investigate the case tonight?" ”

At this time, it is almost time for dinner, and when you go to those rich people's houses at this time, it looks like you are forcing people to entertain food!

But Mo Wei rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The adult is diligent, the villain admires it, so I will arrange it immediately." ”

Qiu Yebai nodded: "Well, let's talk about which ones have been robbed here besides the Mei family, let's pick the largest one first." ”

A hint of strangeness flashed in Mo Wei's eyes, but his face was still respectful: "Lord Hui, a total of eleven families have been robbed, except for the Mei family, which is the largest merchant here, Liu Yuanwai is the largest merchant here, and Liu Yuanwai is a kind and charitable person, why don't we go to Liu Yuanwai's house first tonight?" ”

Qiu Yebai smiled: "Okay, it's just Liu Yuan's house." ”

Subsequently, she instructed Zhou Yu: "Take all our brothers with you, we are all on the boat these days, hurry up and hurry, the boat does not dock, the brothers eat fish or fish, and the birds are fading out of their mouths, just to replenish the oil and water." ”

Although Zhou Yu had doubts in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face, but just bowed his hand respectfully: "Yes." ”

Mei Xiangzi waited for Mo Su and Zhou Yu to leave, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, then I'...... Should I go with me, I followed my father and brother to Huainan in my early years, and this Liu Yuanwai is a good friend of my family, and I am worried that they will recognize me. ”

Qiu Yebai looked at her, dusted her shoulders with her fingertips, and said slowly: "Have you ever seen a master go out and leave the personal maid suspicious, not to mention, you are still my roommate, you follow me, naturally I have a reason?" ”

Mei Xiangzi was stunned, Qiu Yebai suddenly spoke a lot softer, and went to the self-proclaimed one with the shelf, which made her a little unaccustomed, not to mention that she was everyone's best girl, and rarely approached a strange man like this, her pretty face was slightly red in an instant, and then she lowered her head and replied a little uncomfortably: "Yes." ”

Akiba Bai looked at her, and the corners of his lips hooked up with an unpredictable smile.

Mo Su quickly arranged a qiΔ“, although Liu Yuanwai's family had already received many officials to visit, and this time it was Qiu Yebai who suddenly killed, but in the end, they were big families on the east coast, and they had seen more of the world, so they quickly prepared an extremely rich banquet.

When she arrived at the banquet at Liu Yuanwai's house, Mei Xiangzi understood why Qiu Yebai called her over.

There are two tables at the banquet, and on the feast, in addition to the wine and food, the singers perform, there is also a group of flowery and coquettish flower girls.

"Come on, hurry up and serve the adults who come from the capital, and serve the adults happily, and you will have your own reward." Liu Yuanwai led his two sons out to accompany him, touched his beard and ordered with a smile.

The other factory guards brought by the master of ceremonies naturally couldn't sit at the main table, and sat at a table alone, and the men were just a mouthful of wild flowers, not to mention that these few people who came out of the capital were originally all in the middle of the buns, although they were trained to barely have a good shape, but now they have been holding back on the ship for ten years, and now they naturally immediately smiled, and unceremoniously hugged those flower girls one by one.

Liu Yuanwai looked over there and immediately began to make fragrance and jade, a trace of ridicule flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Qiu Yebai, the only one here who did not hold the flower girl, his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "My lord, I think this girl is not satisfied, so the old man will arrange the best for you?" ”

Qiu Yebai just said indifferently: "A pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, this thousand seats have some cleanliness habits, and they have brought their own hearts, so you don't need these vulgar powders." ”

The flower girl suddenly felt aggrieved and annoyed, she is also the Qinglou Oiran here, and she also served in the capital to investigate the case last time, and it is not for nothing that the official is taller than this young man, but she doesn't want this Qian Zong to be so rude!

But after she saw the woman who Qiu Yebai stretched out her hand to pull over, she was stunned for a moment, and then she also retreated obediently.

"The adult really has a good eye, with such a wonderful big girl waiting by his side, sure enough, the other qiΔ“ are vulgar fans." Liu Yuanwai looked at the girl who was pulled by Qiu Yebai to sit down, and his eyes couldn't help flashing with admiration, and he flatteringly handed a glass of wine to Qiu Yebai.

Although this woman has bangs, lowers her head, and looks shy with a small clip, it can still be seen that she has good facial features, and she is definitely a rare beauty.

Qiu Yebai smiled, first took a glass of wine handed by Liu Yuanwai and drank it, then poured himself a glass of wine and handed it to Mei Xiangzi, and said ambiguously in her ear: "Yes, the Xiang'er of this thousand seats is naturally a wonderful person, outsiders don't know her wonders, it is very fragrant, hehe." ”

When such frivolous words came out, all the men present, and those who didn't know what they meant all let out ambiguous laughter.

Although Mei Xiangzi didn't know what they meant, the good smell of Autumn Leaf White spraying in her ears was enough for her to be embarrassed, and she only glared at Autumn Leaf White fiercely.

Qiu Yebai laughed, poured another glass of wine and poured it into Mei Xiangzi's mouth: "Little pepper, is this for the fourth young man to show my face?" ”

Mei Xiangzi's face was red, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only be forced to pour several sips of wine.

Originally, they were worried that Qiu Yebai was a bad person, just like the dead Peng Yuanwailang, but they didn't want to be more frivolous than the few celebrants who came before.

Liu Yuanwai and Mo Su exchanged a look, and then they all laughed in unison, and even pushed the cup to change the lamp, and Qiu Yebai did not refuse to come, drank happily, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively and relaxed.

The sound of silk and bamboo and the sound of women's laughter were mixed together, and they continued to float out of the room.

After three rounds of drinking, most of the people at the banquet were poured, and the two gentlemen who watched the wind were unable to get up under the table.

Mo sneered at the rest of the people who were in the arms of the flower girl, and then looked at the autumn leaf white who was already lying on the shoulders of the big girl in Tongfang who was flushed, and glanced at Liu Yuanwai, and said with a smile: "It seems that tonight, I will trouble Liu Yuanwai to clean up a few guest rooms to accommodate our adults and a few colleagues." ”

Liu Yuanwai naturally nodded with a smile: "No problem, of course there is no problem." ”

Then Mo Su beckoned the people he brought, and arranged Qiu Yebai and all the people around her to watch the wind into the guest room of the Liu family.

Mo Wei looked at Mei Xiangzi, who was a little unstable on his feet, and said with a smile: "Girl, I will trouble you to take good care of your family." With that, he beckoned the people to put down the basin and towels, and didn't bother to pay attention to the drunk unconscious person on the bed and retreated.

Mei Xiangzi herself was poured a lot, if it weren't for the fact that she was refining plum wine when she was in Jiangnan, and often tasting some wine, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand still, but although she learned some superficial kung fu from Xiao Yanzi on the boat, Qiu Yebai never asked her to serve.

She looked at Akiba Bai lying on the bed and hesitated for a long time, still blushing, awkwardly took a watery handkerchief and swayed over.

Under the candlelight, the young man's facial features looked more and more delicate and abnormal, like a jade carving, with a faint and transparent skin dyed a little red with wine, he was really like a jade.

Mei Xiangzi looked at it, a complicated gaze flashed in her eyes, and then she reached over and tried to wipe Qiu Yebai's face, but she didn't want an arm to suddenly hook her slender waist and press down on her back, Mei Xiangzi's whole person was instantly pressed into Qiu Yebai's arms.

"What are you doing, let go!"

She panicked suddenly, her heart beat like a drum, Mei Xiangzi tried to get up, but the lingering aroma of wine on the tip of her nose and the aroma of Autumn Leaf White seemed to be intoxicating, making her already a little confused brain more and more confused, unable to move, lying on Autumn Leaf Bai's chest and slowly closing her eyes.

At the same time, the unconscious person, who had already been drunk, suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up neatly, put Mei Xiangzi embroidered shoes on the bed, and at the same time pulled up all the bedding for her, and then blew out the lights next to the bed.

As soon as the indoor lights go out, the outdoor moonlight instantly casts the shapes of the outdoor objects on the window paper.

Qiu Ye Bai looked at the figure lying in his window and slowly got up, thinking that he saw that Qiu Ye Bai was already asleep, so he immediately left quietly.

A chuckle tugged at the corner of her lips, and she took a handful of powder from her sleeve and sprinkled it on herself, instantly eliminating all the smell of wine, and then chased out of the window silently like a light hong.

Qiu Yebai's light skills had been perfected, and the man naturally didn't notice that someone was following him, so he only scurried around and turned to a place like a study with familiarity.

She immediately jumped onto the roof, uncovered a piece of tiles, and looked at it.

There were two people sitting opposite each other, one was Mo Su, and the other was Liu Yuanwai.

Liu Yuanwai touched his goatee and said contemptuously: "A cool kid, he doesn't forget the goods of the girl who brought the house when he goes out, and he even came to investigate the case, what can he find out, he is here to cheat and eat, drink and cheat!" ”

And the things that this swing always brings, all of them are all all the way.

Mo Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't last long, as long as we don't let them catch any handles." ”

Liu Yuanwai nodded: "I can naturally save this!" ”

Mo Wei thought for a while: "Yes, the Mei family seems to be looking for a woman recently, saying that she came from the white boat with autumn leaves, do you think it will be that Xiang'er?" ”

Since Qiu Yebai said at the banquet that the beauty of Mei Xiangzi is incense, they naturally think that Xiang'er is this 'fragrance' and not the other 'Xiang'.

Liu Yuanwai and the Mei family were friends at the time, and when he looked at the portrait and description, he knew who Mei Su was looking for, and he didn't know what the inside story was, so he didn't say much, only said lightly: "I don't see it." ”

How can it be like it, one is a young lady, the other is a girl in the room, he has still seen Mei Xiangzi, and she is much more beautiful than this girl.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, he also nodded and got up to say goodbye.

Autumn leaves lay on the roof of the study, watching Liu Yuan send Mo Su away, seeing that there was nothing valuable to explore for the time being, and he didn't stay any longer, and left in a leap.

When she arrived at a small bamboo forest outside Liu's mansion, after she stood still, she coughed lightly, and after a while, a figure turned out.

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Yu arched his hand towards her.

Akiba Bai looked at him and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Yu nodded, and then followed Qiu Yebai all the way to the city.

Because the east coast county is a water and land hub, there are often ships docked at night, so there is no curfew near the wharf at night, not only is there no curfew, but also quite lively, eating, beating, and green buildings are all on a long street near the river.

Qiu Yebai led Zhou Yu to an ordinary inn by the river, picked a window by the river and sat down, and asked Xiao Er to cut two catties of braised beef, a roast chicken, a roast goose, fried river shrimp with leeks, a plate of cucumbers, two bowls of wontons, a plate of peanuts, and a bowl of wine, and sat down.

At first, Zhou Yu thought that Qiu Yebai was waiting for someone, so he didn't ask much, sat with Qiu Yebai, and watched her slowly knock peanuts, eat cucumbers, and occasionally eat a little meat vegetables, and just like that, half an hour passed.

Zhou Yu couldn't help it a little, and hesitated to speak: "My lord, what are we doing here, are you waiting for someone?" ”

Qiu Yebai suddenly said lazily while eating peanuts: "Zhou Yu, guess why I acted in a play outside Li Yuanwai tonight and then sat here?" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My subordinates think that maybe the pursuit of the eldest prince of Namei will arrive tomorrow at the latest, if he is not on the east coast, we will be able to show our hands and feet, but Mei Su is very human, if he is in charge of the east coast, then we will definitely have trouble investigating the case, so it is best to arrange something when he does not arrive tonight, or probe some traces that the Mei family has not had time to erase, such as meeting some witnesses at this time." ”

And a play that went to Li Yuanwai's house can make everyone think that they are all drunk, and they are in each other's territory, and the other party must be very relieved tonight.

Qiu Yebai glanced at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "That's right, Zhou Yu, you are really a smart person, but there is one thing you may not understand, you only guessed half right, and the remaining half, you didn't guess." ”

She paused and said lightly: "I have another purpose for sitting here today, that is, to take your life!" ”

Zhou Yu was stunned for an instant, and looked at a blue needle against the vein of his wrist in disbelief, the dark blue on the needle looked extremely penetrating, and it was clearly a highly poisonous needle.

"The poison on this needle is called pulling the machine, although it is not to seal the throat with blood, but it will instantly paralyze the meridians of your whole body after it penetrates into the blood, and then the internal organs, you will suffocate to death, but it looks like you will die of drinking too much." Autumn leaves white slow and leisurely,

Zhou Yu looked at Qiu Yebai, and his eyes were full of pain and injury: "My lord...... Why? ”

Since his accident, Akiba Bai has been sitting in the Ministry of Watching the Wind, cleaning up the mess for him and everyone, and the agility shown during this period has already convinced him, and he is no longer forced to be loyal as he was at the beginning, but silently regards Akiba Bai as a person who can be relied on, and even the backbone of the backbone, grateful to Akiba Bai, and between the cooperation with her, he slowly discovered that he is not really a waste in the eyes of others.

He never thought that Akiba Bai suddenly said that he would kill him!

Qiu Yebai looked at him and said indifferently: "Because, although you are very smart, you are not so sober, you often make enemies friends, and mistakenly fall into the trap of others to affect others, even if Du Tianyu knows that you may die if you follow me, he has never tried to remind you, but today I see that you are still so close to that Du Tianyu, I know that you are too affectionate and indecisive, even if you are not Du Tianyu, there will be others to take advantage of you." ”

She paused, and continued to say coldly: "You have such a temperament, and you don't have any knowledge of people, and it will definitely cause a big disaster in the future, even affecting Ben Qianza and the people around you who watch the wind department, it is better to end you in advance, didn't you say that you can do anything for the brothers who watch the wind department, for the sake of Situ who bears the trouble for you?" ”

Zhou Yu's face became more and more pale by what she said, and his heart was even more turbulent, he wanted to refute, but he was powerless.

Yes, he is indecisive and has no insight into people......

"Actually, I know this, it is likely that my brother-in-law did it, and I also know that my father used to have high hopes for me, but he was rarely at home, my mother died early, and the best thing for me in the family was my eldest sister, I knew that she didn't like me to be better than her own brother, so I gave up continuing to take the exam, but entered the master ......of ceremonies according to my brother-in-law's arrangement." Zhou Yu smiled bitterly, and dazed tears flashed in his eyes.

"I thought that I could reassure the eldest sister by looking like that, but I didn't expect that those things would happen later, implicating so many people ......."

Qiu Yebai looked at him and said sarcastically: "Stupid, okay, I won't say much to you, for the sake of our colleagues, I will hand over this silver needle to you, if you are willing to cut yourself, then it is naturally best, if you don't want to, I won't force it, you take care of it and leave, but don't go back to the celebrant to watch the wind department in the future, this meal is considered a farewell." ”

She rested the silver needle on the table and picked up the wine with a blank face

Zhou Yu looked at the silver needle on the table, then looked at the wine and food in front of him, and smiled bitterly, it turned out that these wine and food were just life-killing wine for him to see him off.

He picked up the glass and slowly drank the bitter wine inside, then smiled.
