The Three Kings, Shi Li, Shopkeeper Fang and Zhao Tieniu were all in the house, knowing that Xue Congjia had seen Xie Dongjia today, and the four of them were impatient to hear what Xue Congjia had heard.

Xue Congjia shook his head: "Xie Dongjia is very cautious and didn't ask anything. Xue Congjia also knew that Xie Yun would not fully trust himself at all, and the two sides were still in the tentative stage. Xie Yuncai will not believe that he is just a tea seller, just as he will not believe that Xie Yun started by selling tea.

The three kings scratched their heads, and said a little uncontrollably: "Dead ducks have hard mouths!" Grandma's, I don't know who wants to hurt me like this behind my back, who can come up with such a crazy way of gambling, what kind of good person can be? I think he killed a village in Zhaojia Village! Grandma's! Selling pig iron privately, the death penalty is inevitable, and this king is yin by these people! ”

Zhao Tieniu also knew that their village had a lot of dealings with this money bank and underground casino, and he had nightmares for days just watching those perverted games in the past few days. I remember the first time I watched the game, those terrible scenes directly made me vomit. Thinking of this, he also admired Chu Tao's heroic deeds, she was a weak girl and was willing to stand up, which was really commendable.

Shopkeeper Fang guarded the side of the three kings like a loyal dog, just bowed his head and drank tea, without saying a word, listening to the three kings complaining, raised his head, and grinned: "Little Pan An, why did you stop here with the truth at your fingertips?" ”

Xue Congjia raised his eyebrows and pursed his thin lips.

The shopkeeper Fang said: "The surname Xie is not difficult to open, he has no son, and he has not married a girl until now, so he expects her to recruit a successor, you marry her, and he will tell you how many times a day the surname Xie goes to the pit." Shopkeeper Fang's words were rude, but no one in the audience laughed.

"Why? I only helped the prince investigate the case, and I have no obligation to sacrifice myself for him. Xue Congjia said.

Shi Li also said: "What Brother Di said is extremely true, the investigation of the case also found out a wife, what is this called, Xie Dong's family is heinous, but the girl is innocent." ”

Zhao Tieniu smiled: "Look at what Master Shi means, if you still marry someone else, it is a disaster for you to marry others." ”

Shi Li hurriedly explained: "I clearly didn't mean that......"

The three kings stopped the quarrel between the two and said, "I didn't let you really marry her, can't you pretend?" Good brother, the surname Xie is so cunning, he will definitely not reveal any information with his surname, are you wronged? ”

"I can't pretend." Xue Congjia still refused very simply, his sentence "Let me think about it for a few days" was purely a delaying strategy, just like Shi Li said, he didn't want to be entangled with the girl of the Xie family.

The three kings scratched their heads, he also said what he said on impulse just now, this kind of marriage cheating is really unkind, not to mention, Xue Congjia has investigated the case for himself until now, and he has not given half of the benefits, so it is reasonable for him to ask Xue Congjia to do this. He was really stunned by this case.

The three kings and others lived in the palace of a criminal minister who was exiled outside, although the criminal minister had been exiled for many years, but it was not dilapidated, and the three kings sent someone to renovate it again, and there was no problem at all to live, but it was overgrown with weeds and no one came to take care of it. After turning the barrier composed of many hibiscus flowers, a promenade by the water opens up in view, and in the summer, the water will reflect the scene of the entire promenade, with green bricks and tiles, clear water during the day, and verdant greenery.

The original owner of this mansion has good taste. Xue Congjia was about to cross this corridor and go back to his room to rest. It was getting late, and the silence was gradually broken by the laughter of several young girls. It was Chu Tao, Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi, they came all the way to Xinyang, and the three kings had no choice but to take them in. Hatsumomo ate a little too much in the evening, so she went out for a walk, she had just arrived in a new place, and she was full of curiosity about everything around her.

Xue Congjia's face was expressionless, he was very tired now, and he didn't want to bump into Chu Tao and the others, so he relaxed his steps. He heard Chu Tao's voice, she, like many Jiangnan women, spoke softly and glutinously, very nice, giggling at the other end of the pool, she was born like this, emotions came and went quickly, as if nothing in this world could stop her from being happy.

Xue Congjia thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he couldn't even notice.

Chu Tao ate too much at night without paying attention, and her stomach was uncomfortable, so she had to take Xiaohong and Xiaozi out for a walk to eliminate food. Xiaohong asked Chu Tao: "Miss, you see that this house looks like it has just been renovated, and there are a lot of remnants over there." ”

Xiao Zi shone the lantern and said, "Didn't we come to this place in the morning?" With so many lotus flowers, there must be a lot of lotus root buried underneath! It's a pity that the house is deserted, and no one eats the lotus pod and lotus root. ”

"Look at the well over there, it looks weird and deep, let's go quickly, it's weird." Xiaohong helped Chu Tao and walked quickly from the well.

Hatsu Tao said angrily, "What's wrong with a well? What's so mad? ”

Xiaohong pretended to lower her voice mysteriously and said: "Miss, you don't know, especially the well in a big house like this is very unclean, do you think that on weekdays, what maid has made a mistake and been wronged, and if you can't think about it for a while, you will throw it into this well!" I heard that some people who are light can see wet people sitting by the well at night! ”

Chu Tao was the most timid, and when she heard this terrible thing, she was so frightened that she immediately shouted out. Xue Congjia heard the shouting here, and pressed the uneasiness in his heart and rushed here.

Shi Li was also nearby, and when he heard the shouting, he came in time than Xue Congjia, and after asking the ins and outs of the matter, he smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Jiang to be so timid." ”

He thought that she was a woman who walked from Jinling to Xinyang alone, and she was a timid girl, but he didn't expect to be frightened by this kind of rumor.

Chu Tao was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm not afraid of heaven and earth, but I'm afraid of ghosts." ”

"What is so terrible about ghosts, if there is a real one, one life will be taken, but some people are more terrible than ghosts, with a bad stomach, only people can not survive and die." Shi Li has never believed in ghosts and gods, but he still patiently comforted Chu Tao: "This mansion was originally the mansion of corrupt criminals, and there has never been a haunting. If you don't believe it, the young lady can find someone to salvage it during the day tomorrow, and there will never be any bones, maybe there is gold hidden at the bottom of the well. ”

Chu Tao snorted and laughed, the beauty that penetrated into the bone marrow at that moment almost made Shi Li unable to face her, dressed in white, she was as beautiful as a hollow valley orchid, she was so beautiful that people couldn't help but dedicate all the treasures of the world to her, just asking the beauty to smile.

Shi Li is young, and he didn't marry a wife, he only got along with a bunch of big men in the officialdom all day long, and he didn't meet such a lively and beautiful woman as Chu Guo Tao, and he was a little shy when he was usually down-to-earth and generous.

Chu Tao couldn't see Shi Li's blush in the dark, she hadn't seen Xue Congjia for a day, and the three kings refused to take care of herself, so she was inevitably a little anxious. happened to run into Shi Li, and she hurriedly asked: "Master Shi, what is the progress of the Zhaojiacun case today?" ”

Shi Li heard Chu Tao's "adult" and hurriedly said: "This adult doesn't dare to be." Brother Di went to see the owner of the casino today, but there was no breakthrough, and Shi would definitely tell Miss Jiang if there was news. ”

Chu Tao nodded and said, "Thank you, Master Shi." ”

Shi Li knew that Chu Tao was also against the wishes of her parents when she left home this time, and the longer the case dragged on, the day she would return home would be delayed, so he was embarrassed, so he was more concerned about the progress of the case, so he said empathetically: "The third prince is also Miss Jiang's brother-in-law, he can't ignore your face, the third princess has already come forward to call the shots, and said to the outside world that the three kings are outside, please ask the little sister of the Jiang family to stay with her for a few days, and the three princesses will come forward, and Lingtang Lingzun will not be too angry." , Miss Jiang can live here with peace of mind, although Xinyang is not as prosperous as Jinling, there are also interesting places. ”

These were what Chu Tao didn't expect, she didn't expect that the three kings were such a rough person, and they were willing to take care of their own face, and they didn't have so many complaints about him, but she thought about it, how could this be the rhetoric that the three kings came up with, it was clearly the handwriting of the three princesses, so she liked and respected the three princesses even more in her heart. She thanked Shi Li for his understanding, and saluted Shi Li again: "Thank you, Lord Shi, for your comfort." ”

Xiaohong was on the side, looking at Shi Li with a good feeling, there are not many men who are so understanding and careful, I heard that he is young and his official position is not small, he is very smart, I don't know if he has a wife. Their young lady, it's still very similar to talking to people well, I don't know what's going on, as long as she is in front of Xue Congjia, she will become babbling, if she can behave so well in front of Master Shi, maybe the two of them will become a long time ago.

The two said a few more polite words, and Chu Tao took his leave. Shi Li said: "I should have sent someone to escort the young lady back......"

There are not a few people around Shi Li, even if he wants to send himself, he can't find someone who knows the way for a while, Chu Tao saw Shi Li's embarrassment, and hurriedly said: "How can there be so many rules when going out, we have been in the garden many times during the day, and we know the way, Master Shi doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Even though Chu Tao said this, Shi Li still called the attendants around him to light Chu Tao and the others with lanterns, and he kept looking at Chu Tao's back, and watched Chu Tao's back disappear around the corner.

Xue Congjia thought that something had happened to Chu Tao, and when he arrived, he heard Chu Tao and Shi Li talking very happily, he had been alone, although Shi Li was very enthusiastic about himself, but he had been indifferent, so the communication between the two had not been much. Xue Congjia remembered the words of the three kings, and said that don't look at Shi Li's youth, but the person recommended by his grandfather is smart.

He didn't intend to join the conversation between the two, and left with a blank face.
