As soon as the assassin was sent away on the front foot, Cheng Chuliang rushed to the palace on the back foot.

Why is this master here too? Do you still think that my Taiyuan Mansion is not messy enough today?

Xiao Tongxin was full of bitterness, he could naturally guess Cheng Chuliang's intention, it was nothing more than Tang Xiu's assassination, the assassin was bound, and Cheng Chuliang either came to interrogate the identity of the assassin or to put pressure on the government.

If it was left until the secret guard surnamed Tian arrived, everything would naturally be easy to deal with, but now, all the people and evidence have been sent away, what can he use to explain to Cheng Chuliang?

"If you don't see it, just say that the house is out on business, and now it's not in the house."

Xiao Tong gave an order to the messenger who came in to report very decisively, and he couldn't afford to say it clearly, so he could only avoid it.

"My lord, if you don't see it, you can't do it, when the villain came in, Cheng Dadu had already broken in, and those people below couldn't stop it at all. That is, the villain can come over in advance to say hello to the adults if he is faster. ”

The officer's words completely broke Xiao Tong's idea of wanting to dodge, what people under him can't stop at all, I'm afraid that no one dares to stop it at all, right?

"In that case, what nonsense are you still talking about here with this mansion, why don't you go out with this mansion to greet you?!"

Xiao Tong threw down his sleeves angrily and walked out quickly, since he couldn't dodge, he could only greet him with a smile.

As soon as he got out of the door, he saw Cheng Chuliang walking towards them menacingly, Xiao Tongchang took a breath, bowed forward with a slight smile on his face, "It turns out that Governor Cheng is here, and the officials are polite!" ”

Cheng Chuliang pursed his lips lightly, but still returned the salute: "Lord Xiao is polite, don't say too much, Lord Xiao should know my intention, let's talk about it, where is the assassin, what is the result of your government interrogation?" ”

Sure enough, it was for the assassin's business, Xiao Tong couldn't help but smile bitterly, and replied respectfully: "Cheng Dudu is a step late, the assassin was already seriously injured when he was in the Tang Mansion, and after being escorted back to the mansion, he swallowed his breath before he even waited for the doctor, and there was no confession or anything." ”

"Dead?" Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "It's cheaper for him!" Has the identity of the assassin been found? Why did he assassinate Tang Xiu, was it a personal vendetta or was he instructed by others? ”

"This subordinate really doesn't know." Xiao Tong replied with a bitter face: "As soon as a person dies, all the clues will be broken, there are no marks on the corpse, and the accessories worn are all ordinary things, so there is really no way to investigate, so Xia Guan has decided to close the case." ”

"Really?" Cheng Chuliang's eyes narrowed, he looked at Xiao Tong deeply, and said, "What about the assassin's corpse?" Since Lord Xiao has given up on continuing to investigate, let's temporarily lend the body of the assassin to someone Cheng for a few days, I have a lot of good hands at tracking and tracing traces, maybe I can help Lord Xiao a little. ”

"Well...... Xiao Tong's face changed slightly, and he said softly: "It's still not bothering Cheng Dudu, it's almost June now, the weather is hot, and the corpse is also badly decomposed, so not long after the assassin died, Xia Guan had already ordered someone to cremate him." ”

"Cremated?" Cheng Chuliang sneered, "What about the evidence?" Shouldn't it have been destroyed along with the assassins? Lord Xiao, you are also the respect of the mansion, Cheng advises you, it is best to think twice before speaking, so as not to be caught, and no one can save you in the end! ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Tong's face turned slightly pale, and the threat between Cheng Chuliang's words was fully revealed, if he still spoke perfunctory, he would definitely offend this Cheng Dadu Governor completely. However, the royal guard is not easy to mess with, and if he leaks secrets in private, he will not have good fruit to eat.

It's not going in, it's not going back, it's really a dilemma!

"That ......" hesitated and weighed for a moment, Xiao Tong arched his hand at Cheng Chuliang, and said in a low voice: "Cheng Dudu, let's take a step to speak......"

Tang House.

Tang Xiu was chatting with Li Siwen, when Tang Panshi walked over quickly and reported in front of Tang Xiu in a low voice: "Young Master, Xiao Fu Yin sent someone over to buy two carts of watermelons, and even brought the money, but ......"

"What, there's not enough watermelon?" Tang Xiu asked softly.

Tang Panshi replied softly: "I sent 3,000 catties to the city defense barracks before, and then the young master ordered to prepare 10,000 catties for this Mr. Li, and now there are not many eight-ripe watermelons in the field, and even more than half of the 10,000 catties prepared for Mr. Li are only seven ripe and have not yet started to pick." If you give Xiao Fuyin two more cars, I am afraid that it will not be enough to make up 10,000 catties in the past two days. ”

"In that case," Tang Xiu said: "Then let's push it to Xiao Mansion Yin first, let them wait for two more days, and then I will personally serve two carts of watermelons, and I will not take a penny, which can be regarded as a little apology from my Tang Mansion." ”

"Young Master, I also told Master Xiao this," Tang Panshi said: "But Master Xiao said that these two carts of watermelons Lord Xiao are in urgent need, and if you miss these two days, I am afraid that it will be too late, so I have repeatedly asked the old slave to give them some even." If he refuses like this, the old slave is worried that he will refute Lord Xiao's face and ...... to our Tang Mansion."

Tang Xiu's brows furrowed, and he was about to open his mouth and then refuse, Li Sifang on the side chuckled and said: "How big is it, just give him two or three thousand catties from our 10,000 catties first, we are not in a hurry, it is the same one day earlier and one day later." That Xiao Mansion Yin is the biggest snake in Taiyuan City, if you have a bad relationship with him because of such a trivial matter, it is really not worth it. ”

"Well, isn't it?" Tang Xiu turned his head to Li Siwen with some surprise, on the way back to Taiyuan from Chang'an, Li Siwen and the others were so anxious that they had to urge them twice or three times almost every day, why did they suddenly become so generous now?

Li Siwen chuckled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, if you go back a day or two late, you won't blame the young master if you want to come to my family." On the contrary, if the young master knew that we were delayed because of Brother Tang's affairs, maybe he would have to get some more reward! ”

Why did the master in the mansion come, Li Siwen knew very well, this was the strategy he had discussed with Tian Yuan in advance, only in this way could they have the opportunity to stay in the Tang Mansion for a few more days, after all, the 'medicinal food' in the Tang Mansion can be met but not sought, and if you miss this opportunity, you don't know if there will be a next time in the future, even if you die, you have to rely on it for a few more days.

The only thing that made Li Siwen feel a little dissatisfied was that this Xiao Tong was too timid, and he only needed two carts of nearly 2,000 catties of watermelons to give the emperor, which almost ruined their good deeds.

"In this way, thank you Brother Siwen!" Tang Xiu was not hypocritical, and said directly: "Brother Siwen, don't worry, now the watermelons in the field have reached the season of batch ripening, and there will be two more days at most, even if Brother Siwen wants 20,000 catties, brother can get it for you!" ”

"Two days?" It's only been two days? Li Siwen couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart, but his face was not revealed in the slightest, and he smiled at Tang Xiu and said: "Brother Tang doesn't have to worry, don't say it's two days, even if it's three or five days, the foolish brother can afford to wait, it's really not in a hurry." ”

In a word, Tang Xiu completely understood Li Siwen's intentions, isn't this guy addicted to eating in their Tang Mansion?
