Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Secret Conversation After the Excitement
The excitement on the street is still in full swing, and the ordinary people who usually shrink their little heads to avoid trouble are all standing on the street at this time, watching and scolding this yin butcher who once made them very jealous.
When Zhu Xi, who was scolding vigorously, suddenly saw Xiao Yi dodging left and right in the crowd, slowly squeezing towards his bun shop. The mood changed for the better, and Zhu Xi diligently called Xiao Yi when he was far away.
"Brother Xiao! Hurry up and come here. ”
It was only a dozen meters away from the bun shop, but Xiao Yi squeezed it over with all his might, and there was already a fine sweat on his forehead, brushing his messy clothes, and Xiao Yi also greeted with a smile.
"Hello Miss Zhu, I've seen Zhao Gongzi."
The visitor was a guest, Zhu Xishi hurriedly jumped down from the bench, and greeted Xiao Yi politely.
"Brother Xiao is good. It's crowded, you're here to join in the fun? ”
"It's okay, thank you Miss Zhu for your concern. It's true that I'm here to join in the fun, but the main reason I'm here is to talk to Zhao Gongzi about something. ”
Seeing Xiao Yi respectfully clasping his fists and saluting Zhao Xiaoba, Zhu Xishi couldn't say that weird taste. Aren't he and Zhao Xiaoba friends? How do you feel that every time Xiao Yi sees Zhao Xiaoba, he is as cautious and polite as a mouse meeting a cat.
The matter between the two big men, it is inconvenient for her daughter's family to ask more questions, and Xiao Yi seems to be a little taboo about her presence when she talks about things, and she is also a person with eyes in the past, so she hurriedly made their debut.
"Then you and Zhao Xiaoba go into the house and say, it's very noisy here, and it's much cleaner inside. I continue to look at my liveliness, Brother Xiao, please feel free. ”
"Miss Zhu is really a reasonable person, then Xiao Yi will thank you first."
"Brother Xiao, you're polite, everyone is friends, there's nothing to see."
didn't want to be long-winded, Zhu Xishi didn't even have the mood to look at Zhao Xiaoba, and climbed onto the bench to continue to watch the excitement on the street.
In the conversation between Zhu Xishi and Xiao Yi, Zhao Xiaoba was dumb like an outsider, he was not a fool, and naturally knew that he had encountered Zhu Xishi's cold nail again.
"Childe, let's go inside and talk."
"Hmm."
Xiao Yi respectfully made way for Zhao Xiaoba, but he didn't take two steps, Zhao Xiaoba seemed to remember something, turned around and hurriedly walked behind Zhu Xishi, and patted her shoulder.
"What?!"
Turning his head, he saw Zhao Xiaoba behind him at a glance, and Zhu Xi threw out a sentence without being salty or light, which was really a bit cold.
"There are a lot of people, so pay attention to your own safety. In addition, don't patronize the fun, be careful of someone packing the shop, and pay more attention. ”
"Got it, don't worry about it."
kindly reminded her to be more anti-theft, but she looked indifferent, who was she doing it for? It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the good heart, Zhao Xiaoba laughed bitterly, and he didn't talk about anything anymore, and went straight into the courtyard with Xiao Yi.
Behind Zhao Xiaoba's invisible, Zhu Xishi's face also showed a trace of decline, and as he and Xiao Yi went away, he felt that the distance between them was getting longer and longer.
After entering Zhu Xishi's house, the noise outside was gradually isolated, and the two of them made it down on the square table, and before Zhao Xiaoba could take a sulk, Xiao Yi hurriedly came up.
"Lord Wang, the head of the family has sent a message, asking when you will leave to return to Beijing?"
Zhao Xiaoba, who had a dry mouth, picked up the teapot on the table, and before he could pick up the teacup next to him, Xiao Yi picked up the teacup with great eyesight, and quickly took the teapot in Zhao Xiaoba's hand again, adding him a cup of warm tea.
After receiving Xiao Yi's sincere tea, Zhao Xiaoba drank it in one go, Xiao Yi hurriedly refilled another cup, waiting for Zhao Xiaoba to speak.
"Xiao Yi, your mouth is too unreliable. In the end, whether you were sent by your master to help me, or whether you were sent to monitor me, this king was a little confused. ”
As soon as he heard Zhao Xiaoba's meaningful question, Xiao Yi's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly put down the teapot in his hand, and knelt down in front of Zhao Xiaoba with a "bang".
"The prince is discerning! Even if the villain has ten heads, he definitely doesn't dare to do such a big rebellious thing! ”
Turning the second cup of tea that Xiao Yi continued in his hand, Zhao Xiaoba was not as anxious as before, but just took a small sip and sent it to his thin lips; After staring at Xiao Yi for a moment, Zhao Xiaoba responded lightly.
"Get up. This king has always disliked talkative people, and I hope you will remember that. ”
"The villain is guilty, thank you for your magnanimity!"
Xiao Yi, who was in no danger, was so frightened that cold sweat oozed from his back, and he hurriedly got up with the words, lowered his head, and stood aside-by-side waiting for Zhao Xiaoba to ask.
"Sit down and talk, Xiao Yi. Just remember that some rules can be vague, but some must not be transgressed. ”
"Yes."
"This king knows your embarrassment, after all, the second brother is your master, so naturally he doesn't dare to hide anything from you. What you asked earlier, you went back to the second brother and said that I would leave for Beijing in the next few days. ”
Hearing that Zhao Xiaoba had finally finalized his idea of returning to Beijing, Xiao Yi's hanging heart suddenly settled, and his face showed a sense of relief.
"Lord Wang, please rest assured, the villain will definitely take care of it and escort the prince back to Beijing safely."
In the details, Zhao Xiaoba believed in Xiao Yi's ability to do things, and he didn't say anything, but mentioned another matter.
"Xiao Yi, I asked you to check Li Shaoyin's matter before, do you have eyebrows?"
"Back to the prince's words, the villain asked the people that Master Li had contacted before his death, and only knew that he came to Taiyuan City to look for Yu'an Street at that time; After examining Lord Li's body, no letters, secret letters or anything like that were found, and even the official seal he carried with him was missing, and there were too few clues available. It's just that there is one thing that the villain thinks is very strange.,I don't know if it has anything to do with it? ”
The corners of Zhao Xiaoba's eyes twitched, his expression became a little colder, and he asked in an aggravated tone.
"Tell me about it."
"Lord Wang, do you still remember the tragedy that happened in the old Liu family on Yu'an Street? According to the post-mortem calculation, the time of Master Li's accident was around the time of the tragedy of Lao Liu's family, and the villain was wondering if this incident was a bit too coincidental. ”
"According to what you mean, Li Shaoyin's search for Yu'an Street is actually a meeting with Yin Tuzi?"
"The prince is wise, the villain is indeed so speculative. But if this is the case, Master Li and Yin Tuzi are suspected of colluding, why would Yin Tuzi kill him? The killer killed his employer, apparently inconsistent. ”
Caressing his chin, Zhao Xiaoba was also carefully analyzing the strangeness of these two things. According to the rules of the killer industry, the killer will definitely not slash the blade at his employer, otherwise who will take the silver? But Yin Tuzi has a strange style, and it is also possible that he does not play cards according to the routine.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Xiaoba's eyes suddenly became extremely bright, as if he had figured out something, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Could it be like this?!" ”
