Chapter 55: The Small Window of the Restaurant
As Zhou Ran thought, the person his grandfather saved at the beginning was indeed a Southern Barbarian, he lived at the junction of the two countries, so he knew Daxia very well, because his mother was a Daxia woman, so the Xia Dynasty was fluent in language, and she looked like Xiao's mother, and she couldn't tell that she was a Southern Barbarian from her appearance.
More than ten years have passed, and Mr. Bookkeeper has passed away, and his son continues to stay in Zhou Ran's grandfather's house as a steward.
Tianwei Division investigation knows that his son Shao Da has a private house in Dongjie Hutong, and a few days ago a group of people lived in, it is said that Shao Da's wife's maiden family came to defect, and it looks so mysterious to go deep into Jane.
By the time the Heavenly Guard went to investigate, the house had been hollowed out, and the yard was clean as if no one had ever lived.
This is even more suspicious, normal people will have this kind of consciousness to clean up? Only those who have ghosts in their minds will do the finishing work.
The old house in the small alley is dilapidated, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants on weekdays, the day the cloak and his party came, they sprinkled yellow powder, and they were exposed by thousands of calculations, and the yellow powder is a Nanban drug, and the Chinese anthelmintic is generally used as a pill.
Be cautious and finally reveal your identity.
The Tianwei Division thus determined that this group of people was the Nanban, and this group of people didn't know where to get the news, and the Congenital Weisi left Lin'an in one step.
Even Zhou Ran's grandfather's steward, the bearded man, was gone.
"They're waiting for their time."
"When?"
"There is still half a month to the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the palace banquet around the small countries are all coming to the court, because there are foreign envoys, at that time the gate of Shengjing City is wide open, and the inspection will be looser, they probably want to mix into Shengjing at that time, or even the palace."
"I suspect that the Southern Barbarian National Master may have some connection with this organization, that day in the broken temple fighting, one of the black-clothed men slipped half of his face scarf, I saw that he was not the bone of the Southern Barbarian, and it was not the Southern Barbarian who saved him."
When Wei Cong was arrested, it was because he assassinated the emperor, but he couldn't do it once, and this Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet was a very good second chance. The purpose of this group of people all the way to Beijing is very obvious.
No previous successful assassination attempt was completed.
Yuan Jinpei guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten.
"After the puppet is released from prison tomorrow, he will secretly leave the code of the organization and find an opportunity to meet them, and then Wei Cong's identity is a death row prisoner, and he will be my subordinate again as a puppet. With this layer of bright identity, it is very likely that those people will be hooked. ”
Tomorrow is the day of Wei Cong's beheading, and it is also the beginning of Yuan Jinpei and Gu Qingchu's plan.
After talking to Gu Qingchu, Yuan Jinpei went to the palace again, he wanted to talk to the emperor about the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, and make all preparations to catch the assassin alive.

Chang'an Avenue
Gu Qingchu and Jade Bracelet took Ying Wuying and Six out to go shopping.
After Yuan Jinpei left, Gu Qingchu was ready to go out, she wanted to see what her former mansion had become now, and Ying Wuyingliu, who had been guarding the door, listened to it, saying that the adults wanted them to protect Ning Lianghou's safety and so on.
It means that they will follow.
Gu Qingchu agreed.
This time I still made a disguise when I went out, and after a simple makeup, I changed from Ning Lianghou to a slim lady.
Shadow Five and Shadow Six looked at the novelty, they had seen Shadow Thirteen's disguise, and it was the first time they saw Ning Lianghou's medicinal herb powder, and they could turn themselves into another person.
If you want to talk about the facial features, in fact, it has not become too much, but it gives people the feeling that they are two people, whether it is the clothes or the breath on the body, they have completely changed.
Shadow Five and Shadow Six sighed, the legend of Ning Lianghou is really not blowing! This hand is enough to walk the rivers and lakes.
The prosperity of Shengjing is not comparable to the small Chaoge City, the wider streets, the restaurants and bookstores on both sides of the road, etc., are quite generously decorated.
The people who came and went were dressed appropriately, jade crowns and gold rings abounded, and even the stall owners of the street stalls were dressed in good cotton and linen, and the people of the imperial city were really richer.
After turning around in front of her mansion, the glory of Ningliang Houfu immediately appeared in her mind, Gu Qingchu's eyes were firm, she would stand back in that place again.
Gu Qingchu and his entourage came to the restaurant, planning to go back after eating.
Yunxi Lou is a famous restaurant in Shengjing, and the box on the second floor also has a plaque that the emperor mentioned the first in the world.
Generally, wealthy businessmen or wealthy people from other places will eat on the first floor, and most of the boxes on the second floor are reserved by the powerful.
Gu Qingchu is a fresh face, when she came in, the shopkeeper ignored it, and Ying Wu stepped forward to take the jade pendant with the word Yuan written on it.
When he entered the jade pendant shopkeeper, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly handed the jade pendant back with both hands, and then came out of the counter, bent down and asked flatteringly: "A few upstairs, please, come here." ”
The shopkeeper personally entertained, and the change in attitude made the diners close to the counter take a few more looks, what kind of character is this, just now the Taishou daughter came, and the shopkeeper was not so attentive.
The innermost room on the second floor is the box with the most spacious view of the restaurant. It is also an exclusive box for Yuan Jinpei.
Gu Qingchu was also not polite, sat down and ordered.
In addition to the large window facing the street, there is a small window on the side of the box, and the curtain of the small window was closed when Ying Wuyi came in.
If it weren't for this move, Gu Qingchu might not have noticed it, and when the dishes were bored, she got up and walked over to take a look, and then opened the small window, thinking about where the scenery belonged here.
As soon as he opened it, he heard a conversation next door, Gu Qingchu raised his eyebrows slightly, and he couldn't hear it when he closed the window again, but he could hear it when he opened it again.
Gu Qingchu looked back at Shadow Five, Shadow Five dodged his gaze, Shadow Six glanced at Shadow Five on the side, and secretly called an idiot in his heart.
It's over, he seems to have accidentally exposed the adult's "Mil", and Shadow Five touched his nose, very weak.
Gu Qingchu didn't want to listen to other people's conversations, she just wanted to come to eat, and she wasn't Yuan Jinpei's person, she was always thinking about listening to other people's secrets.
"Ning Lianghou must be removed!"
The hand that wanted to close the window paused, Gu Qingchu propped up the window, and then moved the stool to the small window and sat down.
The voice was very familiar, and Gu Qingchu recognized it when the other party said the second sentence, it was Fan Shangshu Fan Fuyan.
Fan Shangshu is exaggerating the threats and disadvantages of Ning Lianghou after returning to Beijing, if he doesn't kill her, no one in Sheng Jing can think of a good posture, Gu Qingchu was confused, is she so influential?
Listening to the conversation between the two people in the box next door, Gu Qingchu finally confirmed that one of these two people was Fan Shangshu and the other was Master Guo.
Calculate that she woke up and seemed to be at odds with these two people on the surface.
- Dangdangdang
Xiao Er came and knocked on the door, and the meal was ready.
The box next door was still talking about the disadvantages of Gu Qingchu if he was in power, and he was bored to listen to it. Gu Qingchu closed the window and let Xiao Er come in to serve the food.
While eating, Gu Qingchu had been thinking about the conversation between the two of them, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
