After Jiang Xiaobai left the study, he called Xiao Nengshou and set off for the Ruoshui River in Xicheng.

On the way, after listening to Jiang Xiaobai's story about the things in the study, Xiao Nengshou couldn't help but smile: "The boss really has you, and he actually thought of using the Criminal Health Division to bluff Shi Wenfu." ”

"I'm just taking advantage of him and not knowing the root of me." Jiang Xiaobai had a smile on his face, and said lightly, "I won't be so lucky next time." ”

"Also, Shi Wenfu is not a fool." Xiao Nengshou nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said again. "Boss, you said that Zhao Shun suddenly came... Is it because of Miss Shen's business? ”

"I think so."

"Hey! I don't understand that. Xiao Nengshou said angrily, "He has already obtained the title deed of Jingde Restaurant, why is he still unwilling to let go of others." ”

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it."

Jiang Xiaobai scolded with a smile, and then asked: "How much do you know about the Zhao family, I'm talking about officialdom." ”

"Hmm..."Xiao Nengshou thought for a while and said, "It is rumored that the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee are related, and many officials are promoted by relying on the Zhao family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhao family is obedient..."

After Jiang Xiaobai heard this, his brows furrowed, it seemed that the strength of the Zhao family was far stronger than he imagined, and Zhao Shunju was in such a huge family, and he would never be an ordinary man.

....

During the conversation, the two had already arrived at their destination, Guanyin Pavilion.

Guanyin Pavilion is built in the most secluded place on the bank of the Ruoshui River, and is quite famous in the capital. Although it is only a small teahouse, it is better than the tea fragrance and quiet beauty, even if you are far away, you can smell a bitter aroma and hear the moving sound of the piano in the teahouse, it is an extremely elegant place.

At this time, the Guanyin Pavilion has been very lively, and the hall on the first floor is full of tea guests. As soon as Jiang Xiaobai and the two entered the door, Xiao Er immediately greeted them, and after reporting their intentions, the two of them went up the stairs under the guidance of Xiao Er, and came to the largest Accord on the second floor of Guanyin Pavilion.

Looking at the half-hidden door in front of him, Xiao Nengshou swallowed a mouthful of foam, and whispered: "Boss, although Zhao Shun is rebellious, he is not an idle person, let's be careful." ”

Jiang Xiaobai bowed slightly, hummed lightly, and stretched out his hand to push the door open.

Elegant and spacious wing room, set up a couch against the wall, there are bamboo tables and chairs and stools by the window, the four corners are the emerald green gladiolus raised in the celadon basin, the wall is pink and white, there are a few calligraphy and paintings hanging sparsely, there is a coffee table in front of the collapse, and there are black and white chess pieces scattered on it.

Jiang Xiaobai raised his legs to enter the door, and saw a white-clothed man holding a folding fan under the window, standing with his hands in his hands, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river outside the window.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could speak, he had already turned around and said with a smile: "Leopard head, oh no, Master Jiang, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." ”

Seeing this person's appearance, Jiang Xiaobai was quite surprised, but he didn't expect that the white-clothed boy he saw in the backyard of Yuejing Mansion that day turned out to be Zhao Shun.

This time it can be regarded as a narrow road, Jiang Xiaobai laughed dumbly in his heart, raised his hand and replied: "Zhao Gongzi is really magical, he found me so quickly." ”

"In this piece of land in the capital, it's not difficult for me Zhao Shun to find someone." Zhao Shun smiled indifferently, walked slowly to the coffee table, and sat down: "Two please." ”

At this time, the water was boiling, Zhao Shun first scalded the teapot, and then poured the tea leaves into the teapot evacually, and then lifted the kettle and rushed down. After the tea leaves are spread out in the pot, the tea soup is poured into the tea Gu, and the thumb, index finger, and middle finger are used to form the "Three Dragons Protecting the Ding", and the tea Gu is gently and evenly picked up and shaken slowly. When the fragrance of tea was permeated, the tea was poured into Jiang Xiaobai's cup.

"This tea is the signature of Guanyin Pavilion, and the two of you will taste it."

Just looking at the action of making tea, Zhao Shun is also a person who understands tea very well.

Jiang Xiaobai picked up the teacup, squinted slightly and sniffed at the end of his nose, a burst of natural and fragrant orchid fragrance came to his face, turned the cup, swallowed and tasted it, and couldn't help sighing: "Good tea!" The entrance is smooth, the taste is mellow and sweet, the sweet aftertaste is long, and the Tieguanyin of Guanyin Pavilion is really worthy of its name. ”

"Oh? It seems that Master Jiang also understands tea. Zhao Shun sniffed the fragrance of tea lightly and said with some surprise.

"I just understand a little." Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly, put down the teacup and said, "I don't know why Zhao Gongzi invited me to come?" ”

Zhao Shun heard this, waved his hand, and the subordinate standing behind him immediately understood, walked out of the room quickly, and closed the door.

Seeing this, Xiao Nengshou knew that Zhao Shun was going to talk about business next, so he thought about getting up, and left with his subordinates, but let Jiang Xiaobai press it.

"Since I brought him here, it means that I am a trusted person, and Zhao Gongzi may as well say something directly."

Zhao Shun's eyes flashed a trace of displeasure, and then smiled: "Master Jiang is still so fast-talking, then I will get straight to the point." ”

"I invited you here this time, naturally I want to be friends with Master Jiang."

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Be a friend?" ”

"yes, be a friend." The corners of Zhao Shun's mouth curled, and he glanced at him deeply and said, "In this capital, there are not many people who can be friends with me Zhao Shun." ”

Although Zhao Shun revealed nobility everywhere in his conversation, Jiang Xiaobai knew that it was not because he liked to be big, but because of his own strong strength. After laughing lightly, he replied: "I'm just a little white tiger in charge, and I have this honor." ”

"Master Jiang is extraordinary, and after the first battle, I lost a lot." Zhao Shun took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "Zhao Gongzi's words are serious, but he just makes some small profits." ”

Zhao Shun frowned slightly, but soon stretched out again, and said quietly: "I have heard about Liu Lingba's affairs from Qian Buxiu. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows moved slightly, and without Zhao Shunming to say, he also guessed that Qian Buzhi would make this move.

Since Qian Buxiu can sell favors to him and let him take Bai Qi and Liu Lingba, he will naturally tell Zhao Shun about it, and neither of them will be offended, which is in line with his sleek official standards.

I heard Zhao Shun continue: "The previous things are like this cup of tea, written off." After drinking the tea in the cup, he said, "Liu Lingba's matter, since Master Jiang can use it, let him follow you." But..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shun's eyes filled with a cold light, and he said in a deep voice: "Shen Yu himself, I hope that Director Jiang can return her to me." ”

"Then it depends on Miss Shen, whether she is willing or not." Jiang Xiaobai looked calm and said indifferently.

When Zhao Shun heard this, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and he said coldly: "So, does Director Jiang not want to be friends with me?" ”

The corners of Jiang Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and he chuckled: "Zhao Gongzi is so nervous Miss Shen, could it be that she is very important?" Could it be related to Zhao Gongzi's acquisition of Jingde Restaurant? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Shun's face finally changed, and his smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Shen Yu is very important to me, although I don't know what your purpose is, but I want to embarrass me Zhao Shun with the matter of Jingde Restaurant..." ”

"I'll just say, how can a person like me be able to afford a friend like Zhao Gongzi." Jiang Xiaobai's expression was still calm, he raised the teacup and drank it in one gulp, and said with a light smile, "If a cup of tea can make Zhao Gongzi lose a lot, then I might as well drink it again." ”

After that, he got up and was about to leave.

The last word, a pun. Zhao Shun heard it in his ears, stunned, snorted coldly, and said ruthlessly: "Don't send it!" ”

After Jiang Xiaobai and the others left, Zhao Shun walked to the window with his hand in his hand, staring thoughtfully at the turmoil outside the window, a few indifferent breezes passed through and rolled up the corners of his clothes, but he didn't know.

After a while, Zhao Shun retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Xianzhi, what do you think of this matter." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw a person slowly walking out from behind the screen in the wing room.

This person is about the same age as Zhao Shun, with a face like jade, an elegant demeanor, wearing a navy blue brocade robe, and a pair of eyes as deep as a secluded pool.

"Young master, Jiang Xiaobai is just the head of a White Tiger Ya, and he dares to argue with you face to face, I think there must be something strange about this matter."

Zhao Shun was stunned when he heard this, turned to look at the man in front of him, and at this time, the anger on his face had completely dissipated, and there was a bit of respect in his expression: "You mean, Jiang Xiaobai was instructed by someone?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi nodded, and then heard Zhao Shun doubtfully: "Who could it be." ”

"I've found out, Jiang Xiaobai is his person," said the man in Tsing Yi, dipping his tea and writing a "three" on the table.

"Three... Lord Wang" Zhao Shun felt a trace of coldness in his heart, "Could it be that the royal family wants to move the Zhao family?!" ”

"With the relationship between the Zhao family and the imperial court, the royal family will never be like this, maybe it's just Jiang Xiaobai's personal desire to make merit." The man in Tsing Yi shook his head and said, "This matter still needs to be investigated in detail." ”

"Hmm..." Zhao Shun bowed slightly, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "In the next few days, there will be a merchant ship going south to return to Beijing, which is the goods that my father told me, and there is no room for loss." After this busy time, it's not too late to investigate this matter. ”

.....

Back to Jiang Xiaobai, after the two of them left the teahouse, Xiao Nengshou, who had not spoken before, asked: "Boss, listening to you and Zhao Shun talking, it seems that you have known each other before?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai took a deep breath and replied, "Well, it's not just acquaintance. ”

He was originally imprisoned for beating Shen Yuniang's relatives on the street of Zhao's family, and later because of Liu Lingba's battle, Zhao Shun was poisoned and suffered heavy losses. Now, I learned about Shen Yu's family again, and it seems... From the moment he stepped into Yuejing City, God intentionally or unintentionally made Zhao Shun his opposite.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a series of iron hooves, Jiang Xiaobai came back to his senses and raised his eyes. I saw an army of hundreds of people patrolling the wide streets on the banks of the Ruoshui River.

The hundreds of people who came up were all dressed in silver-gray armor, well-equipped, and the fierce horses they rode under their crotches, and the soldiers were all fierce, murderous, and powerful, like rolling waves that suddenly jumped on the shore. The leader is a young man, straddle a majestic high-headed black horse, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an extraordinary temperament. Just looking at this momentum, you can know that this army is by no means unusual, only to see that their banner is greatly printed with the word "魉".

"What kind of army is this, so bold?" Jiang Xiaobai sighed in admiration and asked Xiao Nengshou.

Xiao Nengshou's expression was also a little excited, and he whispered: "The charm of the ghost, the character battalion, this is the Imperial Forest Army!" ”

"The Imperial Forest Army..."Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, thinking of Shao Yifei's arrogance when he took office a few days ago, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he was born in the Imperial Forest Army, no wonder he was so spirited.

Then he asked, "The Imperial Forest Army usually guards the palace, so how can they come out to patrol today." ”

"It's something to do with a strange story in Kyoto." Xiao Nengshou changed his expression in vain, as if he was a little scared, and even his voice became trembling, "In recent days, every time I arrive, there will be a sound of horses' hooves and a girl's cry in the capital. ”

But the strange thing is that although the people in Beijing heard it, they had never seen a girl appear here...... The Yuejing government also sent someone to investigate the matter, but there was no clue.

Gradually, it spread that it was a female ghost crying at night, which made people panic, and the imperial court sent the Imperial Forest Army to patrol to appease people's hearts. ”

The corners of Jiang Xiaobai's eyebrows moved, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, and he said to himself: "There is such a thing." ”
