Chapter 90
90, ten pound scale
Zhou Tao has not been out of the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for six or seven days, and at the beginning he was still looking through the archives with the novelty of investigating the case, but gradually he became a little impatient and couldn't read a word.
Most of the morning passed, and the file in front of Zhou Tao was still the same page, he sighed with his cheeks, turned his head and glanced at Miao Fan.
- Bodhisattvas do not move at all.
"Master," Zhou Tao lowered his head and slammed his forehead on the table, "Do you want to go out?" โ
Miao Fan didn't raise his eyelids: "I don't want to." โ
Zhou Tao raised his head, his face was lifeless: "But I think, if you stay here any longer, you have to suffocate me!" โ
"Then you go out and breathe." Miao Fan thought he was saying that he wanted to move his muscles and bones, so he asked him to go for a walk in the courtyard outside.
Zhou Tao's eyes lit up, he jumped up and just wanted to take a step and hesitated, and asked worriedly, "Master, are you...... You won't tell Master Zhan, will you? โ
"Go and come back quickly, don't delay too long." After reading one volume, Miao Fan picked up a pen and wrote down a few words, and then took another volume and started reading, completely unable to take care of Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao counted the time, and estimated that Zhan Lian had not come here so soon, and he should be able to play back and forth in a hurry.
"I'll buy you something delicious! Master, you're waiting for meโ"
Zhou Taoxing threw down a sentence, and in a blink of an eye, his figure disappeared from the door. After a long time, Miao Fan realized what he said and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Buying food?"
The guards of the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not stop Zhou Tao, so he went out and went straight to the market, thinking about buying some things to eat, drink and play to pass the time, and by the way, please Miao Fan.
But as soon as he touched his body, he realized that he had forgotten to bring money in a hurry, and his clothes had not been changed for several days, and Zhou Tao himself couldn't stand this sour smell. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The old man shouldn't have returned home yet, and he can't take a picture at all, which is not a violation of the rules of the investigation.
After entering the house, Zhou Tao first bathed and changed clothes, and ordered someone to pack up his luggage and send him to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where he wanted to live for a long time. As soon as Zhou Tao came out of the bathroom and sat down, the little maid combed his hair, when he heard someone crying outside the door and walked in.
"Tao'er, you're finally back! My sonโ"
It turned out that this person was none other than Zhou Tao's biological mother, that is, the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I saw that the old lady was in her fifties, graceful and luxurious, and she pulled Zhou Tao to cry when she entered the door, touching and hugging, and kept muttering that he had lost weight and blackened.
Zhou Tao is the youngest son in the family, and the old lady gave birth to him when she was nearly forty years old, so she spoiled him the most.
"What are you crying about, I have Mr. Zhan to take care of me in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you are blind and worried again." Zhou Tao didn't care, pushed his mother away and sat down again, and instructed the little girl to continue combing her hair.
The old lady seemed to be reunited after a long absence, her tears kept pouring down, and it took a long time to catch her breath, chasing Zhou Tao and asking him if he was doing.
Thinking of the "day and night" with Miao Fan, Zhou Tao smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Okay!" I'm going to have to stay a few more days, at least when the case is over...... Mother, how are you and your father doing? Is the body bone? โ
As soon as she mentioned this old lady, her face sank: "Hmph! Not to mention that old thing, I actually got a little vixen back! โ
"What do you say? Ouch hey-" Zhou Tao thought he had misheard, and hurriedly turned around and pulled his hair, howling in pain, but he didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly asked, "Who did you say got a vixen?" โ
"It's not your father! When I was young, I was happy outside, as long as I didn't bring those warblers and swallows home, I should turn a blind eye, and now that I'm older, I thought he had converged, but I didn't know that he had intensified, and got a little girl back to raise in the side yard, younger than you! The old lady gritted her teeth with hatred, "It's all sixty people, and this old body bone has to be tossed, phew!" โ
Zhou Tao was skeptical: "No...... My dad has never messed with flowers. โ
The old lady twisted the handkerchief and snorted: "What not, I think he is more active and active the older he gets, what kind of goddaughter he receives...... Can a goddaughter be brought into the house? He thought that everyone in the world was stupid, and he would believe him with nonsense! That little slut has an unclear origin, but he looks like a flower and jade, and in my opinion, he is a fox spirit! โ
Although there are a few aunts in the Xiangfu, they have been in the house since Zhou Tao can remember, and they are all women from serious families.
Zhou Tao was so shocked by this incident that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, but the old lady had already thought far-reaching, and began to say something else: "Tao'er, now your father is not fresh, I take care of his face is not good, and the husband and wife are also separated, that little slut is young, if he gives birth to a boy and half a girl, your father will be blown by her pillow wind, and the great prime minister's mansion will fall into her hands!" You and I have to be guarded against! โ
Zhou Tao was stunned: "Defense? How to prevent it? โ
The old lady pursed her mouth confidently, and beckoned Zhou Tao to lean over: "You go to explore the truth first, and when we come back, we will discuss it in the long run." โ
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Tao doesn't like women, the inner house is fighting too much, and his heart is smaller than the tip of a needle, although he is reluctant, he still can't help but go to the side courtyard with curiosity.
The prime minister's house is roughly divided into two sides, one side is where the family lived, and the other side was the residence of the strategists. Although Zhou Xiang did not blatantly feed the diners, there were indeed many people under his hands who gave advice, these people were all in the name of the cousins of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the outside world, but in fact they lived in a separate courtyard, separated from the real inner house by a wall, with an arch in the middle to block it, and guards guarded it. The Zhou family collectively referred to this place as the "partial courtyard".
Zhou Tao strode to the arch and motioned for the guards to open the door, and when several people saw that it was Zhou Xiaogongzi, they didn't dare to ask, so they quickly unlocked the lock and let them go.
Zhou Tao stepped through the door and walked two steps back and asked, "That woman, the new one, where does she live?" โ
Following the path pointed by the guard, Zhou Tao walked to an inconspicuous small courtyard, the gate of the courtyard was open and unguarded, and he could see through the palm-sized ground at a glance, and there was a woman with his back to him.
Zhou Tao cleared his throat, dusted off the corners of his robe and walked in with his head held high, with a menacing momentum.
"This girl ......"
As soon as he opened his mouth to say a few words, the woman turned around and was so frightened that he knelt down with a "poof" of weak legs.
Qianqian pinched the fan and smiled: "As soon as I see my wife, I will make a big gift of kneeling three times and nine knocks, which is really good." โ
Zhou Tao propped up the table and got up, his mind was a mess: "Why are you here?" No, my mother said that this is the ...... Yes! You, you, youโ"
"What a fuss." Qianqian hit him with a fan, "Lord Xiangye invited me to be a guest, can't you?" โ
Zhou Tao rubbed his numb knees, squinting at the fox suspiciously: "Really? โ
"I'm all here, is it possible or fake?" Thousands of fans covered most of their faces, revealing only two eyes that shone with a cunning light.
Zhou Tao finally calmed his chest, sat down and drank a large cup of tea in one breath, wiped his mouth and continued to doubt: "How did you meet my father?" What did he invite you for? Are you his goddaughter? โ
"You have to take a breath when you hang yourself, you ask so many questions at once, are you going to tire me to death!" Qianqian also poured herself a glass of water, and said while drinking, "Actually, it's just four words - willing to gamble and lose." Lord Xiangye was true to his word, and when he lost the gamble, he agreed to my conditions and invited me home as a guest. โ
Zhou Tao didn't believe her words at all, looked at her from head to toe several times, and sneered: "It's that simple? You have no other purpose? โ
Qianqian winked at him: "What purpose can I have?" โ
"It's up to you to ask yourself, anyway, I don't know it's going to be a good thing." Zhou Tao stood up and waved his hand to chase her, "You just want to cheat, I'll give it to you if you lack money, don't mess with it in my house, go for a walk, I'll send you back." โ
"Who said I was going back?" Qianqian hurriedly dodged, "With such a big house, how happy I am, I won't leave!" โ
Zhou Tao hated and stomped his feet, stretched out his hand to pull her, and Qianqian slapped the back of his hand fiercely: "Dare to do something to me, see if I don't tell your master!" โ
Zhou Tao touched the back of his red hand, grinded his teeth and said, "You...... I told Master to go! Let him take you! With that, he turned and walked away.
"Eh-" This time it was Qianqian's turn to drag him back, and finally dragged Zhou Tao back, she put on a smile: "If you have something to say, you always want to complain about what to do, and you're not a child!" โ
Zhou Tao glared at her: "Fickle!" Shameless! โ
"The child has no teeth, young master, you sit first, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a cup of tea to moisten your throat. โ
Qianqian settled Zhou Tao forward and backwards, and tried to discuss with him: "In this way, let's take a step alone, I won't speak ill of you in front of the minister, and you don't tell him what I am doing here, how about it?" โ
Zhou Tao snorted, seemingly unwilling to agree.
"Actually, I don't mean anything else, you know me, I'm just playful. Think about it, recently you and Xianggong went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the case, and I didn't go home for ten days and half a month, I was bored, and I was most afraid of being bored, so I wanted to come out and have fun. โ
"So you came to my house? I'm really looking for it. Zhou Tao was full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction.
Qianqian flattered: "Yes, I wonder if I can raise a peerless and beautiful son like you, Xiangfu must be an excellent place!" So you have to come here in person, and it's good to have some luck. โ
Zhou Tao was amused by her sycophant: "Poof...... Aren't these words disgusting? โ
"How can it be disgusting, it's all from my heart." Seeing that he was in a good mood, Qianqian said tentatively: "Then we will make up our minds, let me stay in your house for a few more days?" โ
Zhou Tao hesitated: "It's not impossible to live in the house, at least it's safe...... But this is a side courtyard, and there are many people, so if something happens to you, how can I explain to Master? โ
Qianqian was waiting for him to mention this stubble, and hurriedly said: "Then I don't live in the side yard, how about I live in your yard?" โ
"You live in my yard? Where do I live? โ
"Stupid!" Qianqian hated that iron could not become steel, and slapped him on the forehead with a fan, "My father-in-law is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you should also honor him in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, serve tea and water, run errands!" โ
Zhou Tao hugged his head: "Oh oh...... Yes, I want to accompany Master. โ
As soon as he thought that he could continue to face Miao Fan day and night, and there was no outsider to disturb him, he fluttered for a while, and everything else was left behind.
"Let's go, I'll take you there." After a while, Zhou Tao got up and beckoned Qianqian to follow.
After passing through the arch, he entered the prime minister's inner house, and the door behind him was closed and locked, and Qianqian couldn't help but glance back.
From this moment on, she truly stepped into hell.
"Hurry up, what are you doing in a daze?" Zhou Tao kept urging thousands of thousands.
Qianqian settled down, and when she saw his unguarded face, she was a little ashamed.
"Zhou Tao ......"
"Huh?"
โโฆโฆโ
She finally didn't say the words of apology, but said: "I owe Master Zhan a scale, you can help me buy a scale and return it to him, it will cost ten catties." โ
Although he felt inexplicable, Zhou Tao still agreed to her, and properly arranged her in his courtyard, and then quickly slipped back to the Metropolitan Courtyard.
The old lady learned that Zhou Tao not only did not drive the "fox spirit" out of the house, but also brought it back to the inner house, so angry that she fainted, and the maids pinched people and poured water to wake her up, she woke up and beat her chest and scolded: "Little slut, I am inseparable from you!" โ
And Zhan Liantai got the scale that Qianqian returned to him, so he called Ruan Qi to serve him to change his clothes, and he wanted to enter the palace immediately.
Ruan Qi presented his official uniform and frowned puzzled: "What does a ten-pound scale mean?" โ
"Ten pound scales, it's done, she's already in." Zhan Liantai's crimson official robe on the ship became more and more picturesque, and he hooked his lips and smiled, "You deliberately let Tao'er go out today, did he go home?" โ
Ruan Qi replied: "Yes, the scale was also secretly placed on your table by him." โ
"That's good." He straightened his gauze hat at the bronze mirror, and his eyes drooped slightly to hide the murderous intent in his eyes, "Everything is ready on her side, and only I am left for this east wind." โ
"Ruan Qi, how about you say that we killed the little emperor and rebelled?"
