Before the birthday banquet began, everyone was here.

And it wasn't until after the birthday banquet started that Su Wuming and the others saw Zhao Tong's concubine Miao Ying and Zhao Tong's daughter Zhao Ya.

Miao Ying is a very delicate woman, she is weak and weak, she is very lovable, her light smile and every gesture exudes an aura that can make men crazy; Compared with Miao Ying, Zhao Ya is too ordinary, her figure is not bad, but her appearance is not flattering, even her mother is a little inferior, this Zhao Ya obviously knows her appearance, so her face is always cold, giving people a feeling of rejection, and when she is so cold, it makes people want to get close to her.

Mother Zhao's figure is a little rickety, but her face is rich, when she came out, she was supported by Qin Xian's brothers and sisters, after she sat down, the others sat down one after another, because the number of people was a little large, so they were divided into two tables.

Zhao Tong, Zhao Yu, He Yi, Miao Ying, Qin Xian, Qin Ling brothers and sisters, as well as He Bin, Cao Hua, Miao Li and other very close relations sat at one table, while guests like Su Wuming Nangong Yan, Deng Qi Mao Ju, Jiang Ping and other guests sat at another table.

And when everyone sat down like this, Su Wuming suddenly realized that there seemed to be one less person here today, and that was Shangguan Bo, who was going to come to Zhao Mansion to mourn Shangguan Yun, until the banquet began, Su Wuming did not notice his arrival.

But soon, Su Wuming gave himself a series of explanations, for example, he came to mourn, it was a little inappropriate to attend such a birthday banquet, and then everyone else was happy, but he was crying, which was obviously even more inappropriate, because of all kinds of inappropriateness, he did not attend the birthday banquet.

It's just that he didn't attend the birthday party, so did he come?

At least, Su Wuming didn't notice that he came.

When Su Wuming thought like this, Zhao's mother had already begun to toast to celebrate her birthday, and Su Wuming and the others toasted together in response to the occasion, and they had to say a few words of advice.

Su Wuming did not forget the purpose of his coming here, so when eating, he always paid attention to today's visitors, Zhao Tong's side is easy to distinguish, naturally people who are related by blood are close together after all, He Yi, He Bin Caohua, Miao Ying and Miaoli sisters, Qin Xian and Qin Ling are blindly pleasing Zhao's mother, Zhao Tong and Zhao Yu talk very happily, then Zhao Yi goes to ask his sister Zhao Ya from time to time, but Zhao Ya always ignores it, after a few times, Zhao Yi also feels bored, so he only cares about eating.

Here, because Su Wuming did not indicate his identity, so Deng Qi, Mao Ju and others didn't know that the handsome boy in front of them was the famous Su Wuming, but he was a friend invited by Zhao Tong, so he didn't act very restrained, drinking and chatting, and there was no restraint.

After Su Wuming chatted with these people well enough, he asked tentatively: "I heard Boss Zhao say that the father of the two and Zhao Tong's father were friends before?" ”

Deng Qi was very lively, poured a glass of wine and drank it all, and said: "Of course, they are very good friends, that's why we are so close to Brother Zhao!" After Deng Qi finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face, and when he smiled like this, his eyes were a little invisible, but he didn't care, he should eat and drink, and he didn't delay chatting.

Mao Ju didn't talk much, but he was quite peaceful, while Jiang Ping didn't say a word, his expression was slightly cold, and he looked around from time to time, Su Wuming saw him like this, picked up a glass of wine and asked, "What does this have to do with my Jiang Gongzi and Boss Zhao?" ”

Jiang Ping's face was slightly red, and he shook his head, Mao Ju saw that Su Wuming suddenly asked such a question, and hurriedly said: "My friend just admires Brother Zhao, I heard that today is Zhao's mother's birthday, so I followed down to have a good time, when Zhao's mother had a birthday, I had to visit dozens of tables inside and out, but then Zhao's mother was no longer extravagant, and there were only a few of us who invited friends, my friend first came to Hangzhou and wanted to do some business in Hangzhou, so I brought him here, and Brother Zhao's prestige, he said a word or two, and my friend benefited a lot!" ”

Mao Ju relieved Jiang Ping from the siege here, and Jiang Ping smiled again and again: "That's right, Hangzhou is now a gathering of businessmen, if you can occupy a place here, it is also very good, Boss Zhao is the richest man in Hangzhou, if you can get his help, you will definitely benefit a lot here, but I don't know what is the relationship between Su Gongzi and Boss Zhao?" After Jiang Ping finished speaking, he suddenly asked Su Wuming, thinking that he saw that Su Wuming was not very old, but he came to ask himself, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Su Wuming asked, and smiled lightly: "I opened a cloth shop in Qiantang County, and I had to be taken care of by Boss Zhao, and the business was prosperous, so I came to celebrate Zhao's mother's birthday to express my gratitude." ”

This kind of answer can be described as seamless, Su Wuming is very satisfied with his answer, then after Jiang Ping got this answer, he didn't ask more, since he started drinking again, and talked about other things, probably when he was drunk, Zhao Tong suddenly came to Su Wuming's side, slightly arched his hand, and whispered: "Su ...... Su Gongzi, I don't know if I can take a step to speak? Zhao Tong wanted to call Su Wuming Master Su, but thinking of the things that Su Wuming had discussed with him before, in order to avoid the thieves from noticing, he didn't let too many people know his identity for the time being, so in the end, Zhao Tong still called out Su Gongzi.

After Su Wuming got up, he followed Zhao Tong to a secluded place, and there was no one around, Zhao Tong asked, "What can Master Su investigate?" ”

Su Wuming said the clues he got from Jiang Ping's mouth, and then looked away: "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there are no useful clues, and if you want to know who is pretending to be a ghost in the Zhao Mansion, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry." Speaking of this, Su Wuming seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Now the government can send more people to inspect?" ”

"It's been increased, no matter day or night, there are people patrolling the house, if that person wants to come in again, he has to make him look good!"

After saying this, Su Wuming was about to ask about Shangguan Bo, but at this time, a person suddenly came not far away, that person was in his twenties, slender, wearing a white dress, and he was in a hurry, he walked past Zhao Tong, but he didn't speak, just walked straight over, although that person was like this, Zhao Tong didn't have any anger, only after the person passed, he sighed to Su Wuming and said: "Master Su, the young man who walked just now is Shangguan Yun's younger brother Shangguan Bo, my Zhao Mansion has a few side doors, he came from over there, After he came, he didn't go anywhere else, but only went to the place where his sister lived before for two days, because he was ashamed of his sister, so he had already ordered the people in the house to let him come when he came, let him go, and give him everything he wanted. ”

After listening to Zhao Tong's words, Su Wuming understood a little, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask, "How is this Shangguan Bo's conduct?" ”

"His Shangguan family has also experienced ups and downs, so this Shangguan Bo understands self-love, and now Shangguan Lin's body is very weak, and he is helping to take care of the Shangguan family's business, and he is still taking care of it well!"

"Boss Zhao can take care of their Shangguan family's business?"

"I have always wanted to take care of them, but this Shangguan Bo has a very stubborn temper and does not accept the help of his subordinates, so even if it helps, I am only secretly helping, and I can't be found out by this Shangguan Bo."

The two were talking, the housekeeper Zhao Bao hurriedly ran over, saying that the old woman had finished eating and wanted to go back to the house to rest, Zhao Tong heard this, and responded again and again, and then asked Su Wuming to resign, saying that he was going to send his mother back, usually someone sent it, he didn't have to be in person, but today was her mother's birthday, he had to send it, and according to the rules of their Zhao family, after sending it to the back of the house, he had to be taught.

Su Wuming didn't know much about the rules of this big house, and he felt that these rules were simply ...... It can't be called rules, it can only be said that it is the house rules and habits of every family, and these house rules and habits are difficult for outsiders to understand.

When Su Wuming returned to the wine table, the people at Zhao's mother's table were no longer there, and they were waiting for Su Wuming outside of Wen Wan'er at this table, like Deng Qi Mao Ju was helped back by his subordinates because he was drunk, Jiang Ping didn't seem to have drunk a lot of wine, but he was already a little sleepy and left.

The originally lively courtyard seemed a little empty at this time, Su Wuming sat down and poured a glass of wine, and after taking a shallow sip, before he could swallow it, Nangong Yan couldn't wait to ask: "Su Lang, you asked so much brisk just now, but what clues do you have?" ”

Su Wuming shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "I just chatted with them for a while, what clues can I know there, wait a minute, now that these people are here, they will have to stay for a few days, and these people will have their own ghosts, so there will definitely be a good show in this Zhao Mansion." ”

For what Su Wuming said, they also had a premonition, these people who came now have their own purposes for each other, and most of them are opposed to each other, because of the ghost incident that happened a few days ago, it is inevitable that people will suspect that the ghost is one of these people pretending.

At this time, Wen Wan'er suddenly asked: "Xianggong, do you believe that Jiang Ping came here to do business with Zhao Tong, I see that he looks around from time to time, it seems that he is observing the surrounding environment, where do you want to be a businessman." ”

After Wen Wan'er raised this, Su Wuming nodded slightly: "What the lady said is right, this Jiang Ping came uninvited, it is indeed a little suspicious, and after coming, he looked around, it seems that he has other plans, I think it is better to do this, let people investigate some of this Jiang Ping!" ”

"Who can be sent to investigate?"

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Song shocking! ”

Hearing the name Song Jingtian, everyone realized that this is Hangzhou, which is the territory of Song Jingtian and Song Zhutou, and it couldn't be easier for him to help investigate a person.
