Chapter 197: The Tea House

Linghu Changxiu is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is smart, he is a super son who wants to be good-looking, has a net worth, has a backer, and wants a woman to have a woman, and lives a life that everyone envies.

However, it is because Linghu Changxiu's life is too smooth, and it is not a good thing to be too smooth, when he is in adversity and suffering, he has a deviation in dealing with urgent things, and this deviation will be fatal!

Linghu Changxiu's emergency response ability is weak, it is really not strong, he said: "My brother may be in Xiudefang, there is a tea shop there, my brother must be making tea in it, you go there to find him, let him come back quickly, there is an accident at home, he doesn't know!" ”

Li Ri knew: "The chief manager is making tea? ”

Linghu Changxiu said again: "You go to him quickly, let my brother come back, well, you don't need you to go, you serve me here, let my servant go, if you don't serve me well, my brother will not spare you!" ”

When he said this, his eyes looked at Cheng Zizi viciously, Cheng Zizi stabbed his ass with a knife, and stepped on the wound fiercely, he must also stab Cheng Zizi a few times, and he must step on it fiercely!

Li Rizhi asked again: "Which tea shop?" ”

"After entering the workshop, I will rely on the tea shop at the door, oops, there is only one tea shop there!" Ling Hu Changxiu said impatiently.

Li Rizhi stood up straight and shook his head at Linghu Changxiu, Fu Guibao laughed out loud and said, "This is too easy to deceive, I really didn't expect him to be so easy to deceive!" ”

Chen Yingying sighed: "Bai has a good skin, it turned out to be an embroidered pillow, is his head full of grass, he is so stupid!" ”

Cheng Zizi said: "He looked at me just now, it seemed that he wanted to stab my ass with a knife, I don't like his eyes!" As he spoke, he slowly drew his knife, and then slowly walked towards Linghu Changxiu.

Linghu Changxiu suddenly understood, he was not really stupid, he was just confused for a while, and he was just evil, the scene in front of him, of course he knew what was going on, he knew that he was betraying his own brother!

As if he was crazy, Linghu Changxiu howled, and rushed to Li Rizhi, but he wanted to bite Li Rizhi with his teeth, but he was kicked away by Cheng Zizai, kicked out of the bedroom, and fell in the yard!

Li Rizhi ignored Linghu Changxiu, this person would definitely die, and there was no possibility of being pardoned, so he didn't have to pay attention to him. Li Ri knew: "Let's hurry up, don't let Linghu Changqing prepare, if he escapes from the city, then it will be a big trouble!" ”

He strode out of the courtyard, followed by Fu Guibao and Chen Yingying.

Cheng Zizi didn't follow immediately, but walked to Linghu Changxiu, Linghu Changxiu was kicked out of the bedroom by him, and directly kicked two ribs, the pain was terrible, he lay on the ground with a snort, and didn't dare to move, Cheng Zizai came to him, snorted, and said: "You and your brother are not good people, you just wait to give Rong Shuzhi his life!" ”

Put the knife into the sheath, Cheng Zizi has no interest in torturing people, he is no longer in Linghu Changxiu, to the front yard, called a few officials from Chang'an County to see Linghu Changxiu, he quickly followed Li Rizhi, and the four of them rode away from the house and rushed to Xiudefang.

Xiudefang is one of the northernmost lanes of Chang'an City, close to the palace, and is next to the Yeting Palace, which is a place for eunuchs and palace maids to live, and the nobles in the palace will not come here.

Out of the Ye Ting Palace, outside the palace is Xiu De Fang, and Xiu De Fang is also very close to the city gate, geographically speaking, the east of Xiu De Fang is Ye Ting Palace, the north is the city wall, out of the Fang Gate, not far away, you can go out of the city, in terms of entering and exiting the city and entering the palace, it is really convenient.

Li Rizhi took the three of them, rode a horse and galloped to Xiude Fang, standing outside the workshop, Li Rizhi looked at the surrounding streets, hey, and said: "This is really a good place, as long as Linghu Changqing doesn't mention it to others, he has a teahouse here, so even if something happens now, the guards in the palace come out to arrest him, and he won't think that he is hiding under the noses of the guards!"

Entering the gate of Xiude Fang, Li Rizhi looked at both sides of the street, there are a lot of small shops, and shops are allowed to open in the square, but they can't be too big, at most they are doing some business in the workshop, if it is a big store, then they can go to the east and west markets, and it is not possible to open in the square.

But there was no tea shop, there was no place to sell tea at all, Li Rizhi got off the horse and entered a tailor shop, which was a mom-and-pop shop, where the husband was ironing clothes with a soldering iron, while his wife was sitting at the door sewing clothes.

Li Rizhi walked up to him and asked, "May I ask this sister-in-law, is there a tea shop near here?" ”

The woman raised her head and looked at Li Rizhi, shook her head and said: "We don't sell tea in the whole workshop, if you want to buy tea, you have to go to the West Market, if you buy good tea, then you have to go to the East Market, we don't sell tea in this workshop." ”

Li Rizhi was slightly stunned, and thought: "What's going on, there is no shop selling tea in Xiudefang, that is, there is no tea shop?" ”

At this time, the man who ironed clothes in the small shop said: "There used to be a tea shop, but it has been closed for several years, and it used to be a tea brick business, but then I heard that the shop was sold, and then it was closed, and it has not been opened again, and I have never heard of it again." ”

Li Rizhi hurriedly asked, "Where is the closed tea shop?" ”

The man put down the soldering iron, walked out, pointed to the northernmost part of the workshop, and said: "In the northernmost corner, it used to be a workshop, but now I don't know what it is, anyway, if you keep going north, you must be right, what are you looking for a tea workshop?" If you want to buy tea, you should go to the West Market! ”

Li Rizhi turned over and got on his horse and said, "We're looking for someone, looking for a young man, handsome, well-dressed, middle-class!" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, I never pay attention to that side!" Then he went into the shop, picked up the iron, and began to iron his clothes again.

Li Rizhi went all the way to the north, after reaching the Fang Wall, and then to the east, he didn't go far, and he arrived at the northeast corner of Xiude Fang, where there were not too many houses, there were a few vacant lots, and a big tree, but he didn't see the tea house.

Cheng Zizi hurriedly said: "Miscalculation, we should ask Linghu Changxiu clearly, he said vaguely, even if we get to the place, we can't find it!" ”

Fu Guibao also said: "Yes, there is no tea shop here, and there are not even many residents here, so it is not a place to open a shop at all." ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said, "That Linghu Changxiu shouldn't be lying, it's just that it is very likely that he has never been here himself, but only knows that his brother has a teahouse here, but what is this teahouse for, his brother has never told him at all, so of course he doesn't know, so it is in vain to ask him." ”

He got off the horse, and looked from house to house, there were not many residents here, and the doors were not opened in one direction, they were all in all directions, each with its own door, if the people who lived here did not like to make friends, and there was no coincidence on the road, it was very likely that everyone had been neighbors for ten years, but they had never met, and this kind of thing was very likely to happen in this place.

Li Rizhi looked at the two houses and saw that they were all locked outside, indicating that the owner had gone out, but there was only one house, which was not big, but there was no lock on the door, which meant that there were people in this house!

Li Rizhi pointed to this mansion, turned around and said, "Maybe it's this mansion, junior brother, you go up to the wall and take a look, be careful, don't let the people inside find you!" ”

Cheng Zizi agreed, he got off the horse, ran to the wall, jumped up, jumped up and picked up the wall, then he put his head over the wall, looked inside, only looked twice, and jumped down!

Cheng Zizi said: "Yes, this is this, there are a lot of tools for making tea bricks, and there is even a big pot, the pot is very big, if it is used to cook rice, it is estimated that it can cook dozens of catties of rice at a time!" ”

Li Ri knew: "What about people, is there anyone in it?" ”

"I didn't see anyone, maybe it's in the house, this house is not particularly big, it is estimated that it is two in front and back!" Cheng Zizi replied.

Li Rizhi thought for a moment and said: "Trespassing on the private house, if you make a mistake, I am afraid that the consequences will be serious, and even if Linghu Changqing is hiding here now, then he will be a frightened bird, even if we knock on the door, he will not open it, so let's just come hard, cover our faces first, if things don't work out, you can also be sharp when you run!" ”

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai immediately took out a handkerchief from their arms and covered their faces, so did Li Rizhi, after the three of them were ready, Cheng Zizi climbed over the wall and went in, opened the courtyard door inside, and Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao ran in together.

Chen Yingying hurriedly said: "What about me, what about me?" ”

"You're out watching the horses!" Li Rizhi didn't reply!

Chen Yingying thought to herself: "You want me to see the horse again, what is so beautiful about the horse, throw one horse, this girl can buy ten!" ”

She was unwilling to stay outside the door, but it didn't seem interesting to follow Li Rizhi and them into the main gate, so she ran to the back door, in order to give herself courage, she also took a short sword, and the handle of the short sword has a very beautiful sword spike, very heroine-like!

Half an hour before they broke into the yard!

Linghu Changqing finished dealing with the matter of selecting the palace maid, he first went back to his official room, he is the chief eunuch, according to the rules, even if it is a lower duty, he should also live in the palace, he has an independent small courtyard, and there are small eunuchs to serve him, but the rules are used to destroy, especially when it comes to a position like Linghu Changqing, he does not need to abide by the rules, so after he is on duty, he will always go out of the palace and go to live in his own house.

Linghu Changqing changed his clothes, sat and rested, drank a few sips of tea, and wanted to rest before leaving the palace, but at this time, a little eunuch ran over and said very stiffly: "The chief manager, the little slave saw that Tong Guinu ran to the queen, and it seems that he went to say bad things about you, the chief manager!" ”

Around every big eunuch, there will be some people who like to pat on the back, hoping to get the attention of the big eunuch, after all, relying on the sycophant to get on the throne is the easiest and most effortless way.

Linghu Changqing put down the teacup, a little depressed, of course he didn't want to offend Empress Wu, but there was no way, what the emperor told him, how dare he not do it!

However, he also understands that if Empress Wu is angry, then with the emperor's cowardly character, he will definitely not admit it, and in the end, the person who bears the black pot and bears the anger of Empress Wu can only be him!

Linghu Changqing sighed and thought: "This is not good to be a eunuch, even if it is a high-ranking eunuch, it is just a minion, and if you are a minion, you have to be angry!" ”

He stood up and said, "I know, let him go, and your majesty will be my own master!" ”

Linghu Changqing cleared out of the Yeting Palace, and when he just walked to the door, he suddenly saw a servant in the family running over, he was immediately shocked, he hid the prince's hair and nails in his house, of course he knew that it was a big crime to exterminate the nine clans, so the servants in the family came running, and he was intuitively afraid!

The servant ran over and told Linghu Changqing about the family, this servant escaped quickly, and he was a fish that slipped through the net.

After Linghu Changqing heard this, he immediately knew that something bad was wrong, he was able to become the head of the inner court, not only because of his outstanding appearance, but also because of his skills, and he was not only bold, but also very simple!

The expression on Linghu Changqing's face did not show any panic, but nodded, waved his hand and sent the servant away, letting him go home.
