Chapter 311: Drunken Spring Building
Li Bai wanted to say something, but he heard Liu Xuan laugh on the side: "Silly boy, the king of the county asked you to investigate the case together, where do you want to go?" ”
Li Tao said: "That's right, whether it's Yongyi Houfu or the Imperial Palace, it's too ostentatious for us to go to check, so we can only start with Zuichun Building." ”
Speaking of this, Li Tao asked: "What is the origin of this Chengyu Building, have you found out clearly?" ”
Liu Xuan said: "Chengyulou came to Chang'an three years ago and opened this drunken spring building. His martial arts are good, he is sleek, and now Zuichun Lou is the largest green building in Chang'an, and those who go there to play are either expensive or rich, so Chengyulou has made many friends with dignitaries. He has a daughter named Cheng Jiao, who is the current shopkeeper of Zuichun Building. ”
Li Tao groaned: "In this way, Cheng Jiao should also know those people who were killed, maybe she is a breakthrough here." ”
……
Zuichun Building is located in a sparse poplar forest, covering an area of about 20 acres, which is very magnificent. The main building is three floors, the first floor is used for cabaret performances, the second floor is for guest rooms, and the third floor is for your own people. Out of the back door is a garden, a small building in the garden, is Chengjiao's boudoir.
When Li Tao arrived at Zuichun Building, it was just dark, and there were no guests downstairs. After the guy questioned him in detail, he took him into a private room and asked him to wait. After a while, a young woman walked in and looked at Li Tao. She is not tall, and her facial features are very small and delicate, especially those worried and tired eyes, which are particularly pitiful.
Li Tao guessed that she was Cheng Jiao, got up and said with a smile: "The Drunken Spring Building is as beautiful as a cloud, but it is far inferior to their shopkeeper." ”
Cheng Jiao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she seemed to be deeply annoyed by Li Tao's compliment. asked, "Are you Pei Feng's cousin?" ”
Li Tao arched his hand and said: "Exactly, my name is Tao Li." ”
Cheng Jiao said hatefully: "Your cousin's ghost is not gone, but my father has no grievances with her." Why did she hurt the innocent? ”
As she spoke, a tear gleamed in the corner of her eye. When her father was there, Cheng Jiao was also a carefree young lady, and now, the entire Zuichun Building fell on her immature shoulders, and she had to bend her way and deal with all kinds of people. I suddenly found that there were so many troubles in the world, and I missed my father. And it went on day by day.
Li Tao scratched his head and said, "I don't know this." Why don't we arrest her and ask her? ”
Cheng Jiao said squeally: "I'm annoyed enough, please don't entertain me anymore, okay?" It's okay, I'll go out first, if you need anything, you can tell the guy. ”
Li Tao saw her turn around and want to leave. Grab it. blurted out: "I want you ......"
Seeing that Cheng Jiao's eyebrows were erected, he hurriedly let go, but it was too late, Cheng Jiaoyu waved his palm and fanned it, and Li Tao was caught off guard and narrowly avoided it. But the vase on the table was unlucky, fell to the ground with a thud and shattered.
Several guys rushed in. Hulala surrounded Li Tao and waved his fists and sleeves. Look at this posture, as long as Cheng Jiao gives an order, he will be dismantled into eight pieces.
Li Tao rubbed his cheeks and said with a wry smile: "If you want to fight, let me finish my words and then fight, I want your help." Think about it, it was your father who was killed, and my cousin was the victim, so let's join forces to investigate, of course, it's the most appropriate. ”
Cheng Jiaojian said that she knew that she had misunderstood, but the girl's family was born with a tender face, and in order to hide the guilt in her heart, she said coldly: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”
The guy in the back pushed Li Tao: "Did you hear that?" My young lady is not interested in you, don't be a toad who wants to eat swan meat, get out! ”
This person was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and at a glance, he knew that he was the kind with developed limbs and a simple mind.
Cheng's petite face turned red, and he said, "Shut up!" ”
Another skinny monkey-like guy said, "Wu ...... Wu...... Wu Bing, you are really ...... It's stupid, Miss doesn't ...... It's not that he didn't ...... Not interested, but interested in ...... Say to him...... That's the thing...... Not interested. "But it's a stammer. His words were originally impeccable, but at this time, it seemed to admit that Cheng Jiao was interested in Li Tao.
Cheng Jiao couldn't wait to find a mouse hole to get into, these two guys had been working in Zuichun Building for many years, and because of the situation, it was not easy to reprimand too much, so they only whispered: "All go out!" ”
Li Tao couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was really difficult for her, a little girl, facing such a group of men all day long, how could she not be exhausted? "Wait." He stopped the men, "You help me find a few things, namely feverfew, wolfberry, tangerine peel, candied fruit, red dates, hawthorn, honeysuckle, jasmine, two for each person, go and go back quickly." ”
The guys looked at each other and looked at Cheng Jiao. Cheng smiled squeamishly: "Ho, are they your buddies?" ”
Li Tao said: "Borrow and use, you are a big shopkeeper, don't be too petty." ”
Cheng Jiao hugged her elbows and sneered: "Okay, then tell me, what do you want these things for?" ”
"It's a big secret about you." Li Tao secretly attached to her ear, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything. A few of the guys pricked up their ears and stared at them anxiously.
Cheng Jiao was inexplicable and said, "What did you say?" ”
Li Taoxu said matter-of-factly: "How? Amazing enough, right? Turning to a couple of guys, "You want to know too?" ”
The guys nodded indiscriminately, and their urgency was not inferior to Cheng Jiao. Li Tao said: "Then quickly find what I want." ”
Several of the guys shouted in unison and ran away in a swarm.
Cheng Jiao suddenly realized, jumped to her feet and said, "Stop!" ”
But no one listened.
"See if I don't break your dog's legs!" Cheng Jiao said hatefully.
Turning around, he looked at Li Tao for a long time, couldn't help but smile, pulled a chair and sat down, "Okay, I'll see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd." ”
Li Tao also sat down opposite her and said with a smile: "Ecstasy." ”
About a cup of tea, a few guys came back panting, and eight paper bags were piled up in front of Li Tao without any difference.
Li Tao said while unpacking: "Take a pot of boiling water." He picked up the teapot on the table, threw eight things into it as appropriate, and waited for Wu Bingti to bring boiling water, first poured the outer wall of the teapot, and then poured it into the pot.
Cheng Jiaoqi said: "Aren't you making tea?" ”
"This is no ordinary tea." Li Tao pressed the lid of the pot with his hand, and Zhen Zhen said, "This is called" Eight Treasures Chrysanthemum Tea ", which has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, brightening the eyes and removing fire. Count you blessed, I see that your face is haggard, and your body is weak and short of breath, so I showed this unique skill. ”
Cheng Jiao couldn't help but be stunned, only to realize that he had gone to great lengths to let himself drink his cup of chrysanthemum tea.
Li Taoman poured a bowl, held it in front of her with both hands, and said with a smile: "I didn't intend to offend you, and I will serve you tea to make amends." ”
Cheng Jiao took the tea cup and took a sip, but she felt sweet and sweet, and the taste was really different from ordinary chrysanthemum tea. She drank a bowl and looked up at Li Tao: "I can't help you, when my father died, there was no warning, it was fine, but suddenly it ......" (to be continued......)
