Huiyun Building is a standard two-storey building.

In the hall below, there are sixteen square tables with scattered seats.

The upper floor is divided into two sections: the seating hall area made up of nine tables; and a private room area composed of two large and two small compartments.

Based on this pattern alone, it can be seen that Huiyunlou usually mainly faces low-end customers, such as Dingxiang Building, which is frequented by officials of Shuntianfu, and the private room occupies more than seventy percent of the space.

It is precisely because of this that a wealthy family slave like Pan Youan has the capital to charter a private room to borrow wine to drown his sorrows.

The T-shaped private room is located in the northwest corner of the second floor, which is basically the most remote corner, but it is undoubtedly a feng shui treasure for those who want to drink their sorrows.

After going up to the second floor, Sun Shaozong first observed inside and out, and then instructed the two shopkeepers to discuss with each other and reproduce the scene of scattered guests on the second floor around midnight last night.

The ones who are responsible for playing the guests are naturally the catchers of Shuntianfu and Wanping County.

"There is an old man at this table, who ordered half a catty of wine and two dishes with wine."

"There are three young guests by the window, who look like people from other places rushing to take the exam - probably because the list is about to be released, and I can't sleep when I go back, so I don't leave until around the hour."

"There are two guests here, one old and one young......"

"There are also two ...... at this table"

"No, it's a guest!"

"Nonsense, it's clearly two guest masters!"

Because there were only five tables of guests outside at that time, the two remembered quite clearly, only one of the tables was arguing.

Liu Tiezhu insisted that there was only one guest, but Xu Shengli argued with reason, not that there were two guests dining here at that time.

"Sir."

Xu Shengli saw that he couldn't make sense with Liu Tiezhu, so he simply stepped forward to report: "At that time, Liu Tiezhu went down to get wine and food, and I don't know why he was delayed, and it happened that a guest came upstairs, and the villain was about to come forward to greet him, so he saw the guest master at this table get up to greet him and called the guest master over. ”

"You don't talk nonsense!"

Liu Tiezhu also stared at him and retorted: "I've been up and down several times, and the guest master has always eaten and drunk alone, where did anyone else come from?!" ”

"Are you blind? That guest master is a young man, and he was extremely handsome, and I can't be mistaken! ”

"You're blind, this scattered seat has always been a guest I greeted, and I can't remember the guests I greet?!"

Seeing that the two of them were fighting cocks and getting more and more fierce, forgetting that they were in front of the official master, Zhao Wuxing hurriedly stepped forward and scolded, separated the two, and then asked Sun Shaozong how the guests at this table should be simulated.

Sun Shaozong groaned for a while, but he opened his mouth to ask, "Regardless of the young man, what does the other guest look like?" What does it look like? ”

Liu Tiezhu hurriedly said: "That guest is very rich, and his clothes are not bad, he looks like a rich trader." ”

Xu Shengli also hurriedly added: "I think he is a little sneaky, I'm afraid he is not a serious businessman!"

Although the two shops are not the same, the identity of the merchant should be certain.

Sun Shaozong asked again: "What about the young man?" How do you look at the clothes? ”

This time, Liu Tiezhu didn't say anything, so he could only look at Xu Shengli and replied: "The fine skin and tender meat born by that little brother seems to be quite arrogant at first glance, but when you look closely, it seems to be full of guilt, not like a young master, it is estimated that there are some identity servants in the mansion." ”

No wonder he is mainly responsible for serving the private room, and his ability to observe words and emotions is indeed much higher than Liu Tiezhu.

Sneaky businessmen, small servants with some identities in the mansion door......

Substituting the identities of these two people into the case, Sun Shaozong closed his eyes and simulated it in his mind, and then ordered: "Come, let's try to rehearse." ”

Saying that, he first let Liu Tiezhu go downstairs, and then let Qiu Yunfei sit alone at the table, playing the role of the sneaky businessman.

And Sun Shaozong himself played the role of the 'handsome boy', first went downstairs to the counter to get some things, and then pedaled up the stairs to the second floor.

When I got upstairs, I saw a group of people all looking at me stupidly, and I didn't know how to react at all.

Sun Shaozong was speechless, so he had to gesture at Xu Shengli and explained: "Just follow the way you were yesterday, come over and prepare to greet me-Qiu Jianxiao, as long as he moves, you will get up and call me over." ”

The two of them suddenly came to an end, Xu Shengli hurriedly moved forward with a smile on his face, while Qiu Yunfei got up with a big grin and shouted: "Here, here!" ”

Sun Shaozong didn't rush over, but asked Xu Shengli: "The businessman at that time, but he greeted him like this?" ”

Xu Shengli hesitated: "That person's voice seems to be much quieter than Xiao Yanei's voice, as if he is not willing to let others hear it—the tone is also a lot more affectionate." ”

Sun Shaozong nodded, but did not let the two of them start again, but strode to the table.

According to Xu Shengli's description, he sat down with his back to the staircase, looked around vigilantly, and then carefully took out a swarthy object from his sleeve.

"Look!"

He lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the pride and boast in his voice: "This is a first-class good object, you can't ask for it anywhere else, and you can find it in our house!" ”

Qiu Yunfei was intimidated by his behavior and words, and couldn't help but be a little sneaky, and stared at the object carefully, but saw that the black one was actually an inkstone.

And it is also the most common and cheapest inferior product, it is estimated that one or two silver can buy two dozen!

Sun Shaozong still looks like he is showing off, as if he is showing off some treasure!

Helpless, Qiu Yunfei could only use the expression of 'Are you kidding me'.

At this moment, Sun Shaozong turned back to Xu Shengli and asked, "After the young man sat down, did the guests in the private room go upstairs after him?" And then you're too busy to entertain them? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xu Shengli nodded vigorously: "What the master said is not bad at all, I originally wanted to come over and say hello to see if there are more guests, do you want to add more wine and food." ”

"Coincidentally, at this time, two old acquaintances came with friends, and there could be more than a dozen people in Huhulala, and the villain was busy greeting them, and then he didn't pay much attention to the situation of scattered seats."

Seeing that it was as he expected, Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand and pointed to the private room, asked Xu Shengli to sit inside for a while, and then asked Jiang Laoqi to call Liu Tiezhu, who was waiting in the kitchen, to go upstairs.

"It's you?!"

When Jiang Laoqi received the order, Sun Shaozong suddenly stood up and exclaimed at the empty T-shaped room: "Why are you here?!" ”

With that, he hurried into the T-shaped private room.

Who's in it?

Isn't there no one in it?

In this blue sky and white day, is Lord Sun seeing a ghost?

Still an old man?!

The catchers were looking at the imagination, and they saw Liu Tiezhu running up from below, standing at the staircase in a daze, staring at everyone with big eyes.

At this moment, I only heard someone in the T-shaped room gritting his teeth and saying, "You ...... licking the gutter."

The voices behind faded, and only some muffled movements could be heard.

Qiu Yunfei was hesitating, whether to stick to the door to listen to it, and heard the voice suddenly rise again: "Okay, okay, you want me to die, I ......"

After this sudden height, the voice became indistinct again.

Qiu Yunfei finally couldn't bear it anymore, and leaned over and prepared to put his ear to the door to listen.

Who knew that at this moment, the door creaked left and right, and Sun Shaozong walked out of it and asked Liu Shengli: "The movement you listened to at that time was similar to Fang Cai's?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Liu Tiezhu hurriedly pecked the rice of the chicken on his head: "So as soon as the villain heard it, he knew that there was a quarrel inside!" ”

"Sure enough."

Sun Shaozong muttered to himself, and then sat back at the original square table, with a look of understanding.

Qiu Yunfei hurriedly followed, and under the influence of curiosity, he didn't care about what to put on a cold face, and leaned his neck and said curiously: "My lord, you ...... You can't see anything dirty, do you? ”

"Get out!"

Sun Shaozong glanced at him, and said in his chest: "This official talent is simulating the interaction between the young man and the deceased before his death, if my expectations are correct, this case is not far from the truth being revealed!" ”8)
