Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hearsay

Huang Zhutou was suspicious, and he had already heard Wen Ziqi say: "Fools have foolish blessings, don't think you're very smart." ”

"What does that mean?" Huang Zhutou was stunned in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Did I say too much?" ”

Wen Ziqi smiled slightly, did not answer, just sighed.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Huang Zhutou couldn't continue to ask, so he had to give up. I also closed my eyes and recuperated myself, savoring carefully what this sentence meant.

The grass on the river embankment was deep, and Pei Yuanting walked in front of him, turning back from time to time to tell the two women to pay attention to the stubborn stones under their feet.

Qin Keqing raised the corners of her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know that you still know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, which makes me a little surprised." ”

"What's so surprising about this," Pei Yuanting said while knocking down the grass with the short stick in his hand: "The woman is already delicate, the grass is deep hidden, and it will be troublesome if she can't see her feet falling." Moreover, the edge of this grass is also extremely sharp, and if you are not careful, you will cut the skin. ”

"Oh," Nangong Feifei smiled lightly, and suddenly realized: "No wonder you took this short stick, I thought at first that you wanted to use this short stick to knock down the two of us for money and murder." ”

Pei Yuanting stopped what he was doing, glanced back at Nangong Feifei, shook his head and said helplessly: "Miss Feifei, your words are a little hurtful, how could I do such a thing." With that, he turned around and opened the way.

"With such a dense grass, what were you doing here alone?" Seeing that Pei Yuanting seemed to be a little lost, Nangong Feifei opened her mouth and asked, "You don't want to kill yourself too." ”

Pei Yuanting didn't look back, and said with a smile while waving a short stick: "Why should I kill myself." ”

"Because you gave me the silver you saved for several days," Nangong Feifei said with a smile: "And what are you going to do with the money?" ”

"Careful Eye?" Pei Yuanting asked angrily.

"Well, is it a secret that you save money?" Nangong Feifei asked with a sly expression.

Pei Yuanting shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "This guy really talks about everything." ”

"Tell me why you're saving money." Seeing that he didn't respond, Nangong Feifei suddenly became curious and continued to ask: "Could it be that you have any special hobbies?" ”

Pei Yuanting shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "There are times when the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not true, what iceberg beauty, the whole thing is a chatterbox." ”

Qin Keqing, who was walking at the end, heard this, not to mention Nangong Feifei, who was walking in the middle. However, this time she didn't see her angry, but just smiled faintly and said: "Of course the rumors in the rivers and lakes are not credible, and there are also rumors that your Yichun Hall Master Zhu recently got a dose of immortality?" Do you believe this kind of hearsay? ”

"Ah," Pei Yuanting was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "There is such a thing as immortality, and there are people who believe in it?" ”

Nangong Feifei's eyes flashed, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and then said: "I've heard this kind of thing as rumors in the rivers and lakes, so I should listen to the story, how can I take it seriously." ”

Although he said that he didn't believe it, what he said just now stirred up a huge wave in Pei Yuanting's heart. Outsiders may not know anything, but the three disciples know that Hall Master Zhu seems to be busy with something important these days.

Even Old Man Mo, who originally stayed in the Danfang in addition to eating and sleeping, was rare to meet. Could it be that as this Oiran lady said, they are practicing the elixir of immortality? However, with the experience of Hall Master Zhu, ordinary recipes can tell whether it is true or false at a glance.

Thinking about things in his heart, his hands involuntarily slowed down, and Nangong Feifei behind him smiled when he saw him like this and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it here? ”

"Well, here we go." Pei Yuanting replied casually absentmindedly.

The carriage that was galloping all the way slowly stopped with a "hoo". It just stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated compound.

Huang Zhutou stretched out his hand to pull the curtain and said politely: "Brother Wen, please first!" ”

Wen Ziqi was not polite, just bowed slightly, and jumped out of the carriage.

If it weren't for the peculiar smell that came to the nose and the word "Yizhuang" written on the broken plaque lying at the door, it is estimated that no one would associate this ruined courtyard with Yizhuang.

At this time, it was almost dusk, but it was not yet time to hold the lamp, perhaps Huang Zhutou had settled down in advance, and the official standing under the broken wall saw Wen Ziqi get out of the car, and hurriedly greeted him, and said politely: "I can count on you coming, didn't we come with you?" ”

"Do you think they're all like you, and you know how to cheat and cheat all day long?" With a scolding, Huang Zhutou also jumped out of the car.

The official laughed and said, "Head, aren't I worried that you're too tired?" ”

Huang Zhutou glanced at him, and said angrily: "I'm tired, that's my duty."

Brother Wen is different, people are really tired. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to the servant who was smiling beside him. "Take it in and smoke it."

The official weighed the small burden in his hand and said, "Head, I can't hold it down!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Huang Zhutou glared at him and said, "It's better to talk than not to understand, besides, you know how difficult this thing is, and you don't like it much." If it weren't for Brother Wen coming, I wouldn't be reluctant! As he spoke, he looked at Wen Ziqi.

In just a few breaths, he took turns to flatter, which made Wen Ziqi quite surprised, if it was a simple politeness, anyone could understand it, but just got off the car like this, it seems that what is in this Yizhuang is a real "hot potato".

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, the always proud Huang Zhutou has done this, and Wen Ziqi can't refute his face. said politely: "Brother Huang, don't be polite to me, I'm just a junior apprentice, how can you praise me like this." Besides, with your experience, you can't tell how many pounds and taels I'm a fledgling boy? ”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands into fists, and then said with a smile: "Seeing that the sky is about to darken, why don't we take a look first?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Zhutou couldn't help but be stunned, and he was happy in his heart: "In the past two days, Wen Ziqi's reputation has spread in the yamen, and in just a few words, a group of people who have come to Yuelai Restaurant to make trouble have been subdued. ”

It's really not a thing to say that the group of troublemakers are not things, especially the fat guy, who speaks extremely ugly. scolded his group of servants to the point that they were bloody, and later Wen Ziqi cleaned him up so badly as soon as he made a move. Although the officials didn't say anything, they naturally looked at Wen Ziqi differently.

The key is that there is also news that this person knows the senior officials above, and such a person with a background calls them brothers and sisters, and they all have a face when they say it, the officials think so, and Huang Zhutou also thinks so. The officials were hearsay, but he witnessed it with his own eyes, Qin Keqing and Wen Ziqi went to the painting boat together.

Just imagine a woman and a man meeting to go to the art boat, what a friendship this is. There is only one possibility, that is, to go to the painting boat just to hide people's eyes, but in fact, to find a secluded place to have a tryst. With the support of Lord Qin, this Wen Ziqi's flying Huang Tengda is not just around the corner. Now that he actually called himself Brother Huang, he couldn't be surprised.

Hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted back: "Brother Wen Xian, wait a while, and wait for them to clean up a little inside before we go in." ”

"Tidy up?" Wen Ziqi wondered if he had heard it wrong, so he asked again: "What to pack up?" ”

Huang Zhutou said helplessly: "According to the report of the officials, it is said that the corpse has been soaked in the water for an unknown amount of time, and it has been exposed to the sun for another day, and I heard that the taste is really a bit disgusting." ”

"I heard?" Wen Ziqi was stunned when he heard this, looked up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Standing here, Huang Zhutou, can you smell anything?" ”

"It doesn't smell like it," he muttered as he inhaled through his nose, "It seems to have a little taste, but it's not as outrageous as they say." ”

A servant standing not far away saw Huang Zhutou take a deep breath like this, and immediately gaged again and again. Huang Zhutou, who looked puzzled, glared back at him, and scolded: "What are you doing, you can't stand this smell, how can you solve the case in the future." ”

The trained official shrugged his shoulders, his eyes contained a trace of helplessness, and he looked at Wen Ziqi, as if asking, "Isn't it really stinky at all?" ”

Wen Ziqi shook his head and sighed: "Brother Huang, you have wronged him!" ”

The place of four or five steps is not far away, and coupled with such a remote place, what Wen Ziqi said is naturally clear to the servants. He was already aggrieved, but now when he saw that this government celebrity was helping him defend himself, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Head, it really stinks, we didn't lie at all." If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Wen. ”

Huang Zhutou frowned and said, "Brother Wen, aren't they an excuse to be lazy, but they really stink unbearably?" ”

Wen Ziqi nodded and said lightly: "They didn't lie about this, it's just that you can't smell it." ”

Seeing someone testifying, the official suddenly gained confidence and hurriedly said: "Now you believe it, saying that we are too hypocritical, and you can't ask about the smell yourself." If you don't believe what Mr. Wen said, we can't do anything about it. ”

Huang Zhutou was stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at Wen Ziqi and said, "Brother Wen, what this official said is the truth?" Am I really not able to smell the smell? ”

"That's not it," Wen Ziqi said with a slight smile: "Don't be too nervous, it's not a big deal, it's just that the lung meridian has wind and heat, and it's not a serious problem." ”

As soon as he heard the word "wrong", the corners of Huang Zhutou's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "I'm so old that I can withstand any blow, just tell me the truth, is there really nothing?" ”

Wen Ziqi was stunned when he heard this, reached out and patted Huang Zhutou's arm and said, "Brother Huang, you are too worried, this problem is nothing at all, when this is over, you and I will go back to the hall to grab a few medicines and eat them." ”

Huang Zhutou nodded in disbelief and said, "Okay, then everything is up to you." ”

While he was talking, a servant came out of the courtyard, covered his mouth and nose with his hands and said, "Head, everything is cleaned up, you and Dr. Wen can go in." ”
