Tie Anli said: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I have already sent someone to the stage where Miss Ruizhu found the figure just now, and we will not let any suspicious people go, but if Pang Xi lets the people from the Taishi Mansion take the lead, can we take some extraordinary measures?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head fiercely: "No!" If they really find them first, you must not take action, remember, to help them escape, the first thing to do is to stay out of the situation. ”

Tie Anli understood what Chen Yuan meant: "I know. ”

After a few short exchanges, he immediately turned back again. Chen Yuan secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that he could find the people of the Hu family one step ahead of Pang Xi, and shouted at the same time: "Firewood room, serve tea to the guests!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yan Chasan's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Chen, congratulations!" ”

Yan Chasan, along with the five rats, walked in from the door, and Chen Yuan hurriedly greeted him: "Brothers are here?" Inside please, inside please! ”

Jiang Ping, the river rat, heard Chen Yuan call his brother, but he really didn't see it: "I said brother, you opened a good day today, and my brothers will give you a piece of happy silver, a little less, but my brother is poor, don't mind." ”

Chen Yuanyi smacked his lips: "What did my brother say?" I'm already happy if you can come and drink this brother's wine! Let's talk about it first, I drank it at noon, and I wasn't allowed to leave at night. Taste my food and wine at noon today, and try the girl I have newly hired from out of town in the evening. ”

Jiang Ping said with a smile: "Yutang has already told me, you will drive me away, and I will not leave!" ”

The time is almost the time agreed on the invitation, so this time people came very quickly, Bai Yutang and the others just walked into the room, Zeng Gongliang arrived, followed by Zhang Kuangzheng and Yang Yi. Chen Yuan arranged for them to sit in a room with Bai Yutang and the others.

Then came the brothers Yang Wenguang and Wang Lun.

A table was also set up in the middle of the lobby, and a flowing water seat was set up outside.

This opening not only has big names to support their face, but also those old customers who Chen Yuan met when he ran a wine store in Yuelai Inn, as well as neighbors near Yuelai Inn. In addition, some influential big families in the villages near this mountain villa, Li Zheng, Bao Chang, and Chen Yuan also sent invitations.

He wanted to invite these people with a good relationship with the neighbors and villages, and what he wanted to do business was to have a harmonious atmosphere, and he invited people to have a meal first, and it was easy to mediate if there were any small conflicts later.

Besides, letting them see who will support them can also reduce unnecessary friction for the future to a certain extent.

Those lieutenants and Baozheng were very well-informed, and after hearing that there were senior officials of the imperial court coming, they did not refuse, and when Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan showed their faces in front of people, they were even more worthwhile. There are more and more people watching the excitement outside, and the people in the nearby ten miles and eight villages heard that they can watch a play here, and they don't need money, so they basically come here.

Chen Yuan stood at the door, now waiting for the two old men, Lu Yijian and Pang Ji. They're definitely coming, and they're definitely going to be stuck on point. His eyes also scanned the crowd below, exchanging glances with Tie Anli and the others from time to time, but he never found any suspicious people.

Occasionally peeking at Pang Xi, I saw that Pang Xi didn't seem to be in a hurry, sitting leisurely on a stool and knocking melon seeds, as if he didn't care about the assassination of the Hu family.

Now there are too many people, and the open space in this suburb is also large, and it is really not easy for one or two people to hide in the crowd. So Pang Xi didn't expect the people in the Taishi Mansion to find out the Hu family, as long as the Taishi appeared, they would definitely make a move, and that was when it was time to see the real chapter.

Chen Yuan also knew that if he couldn't find it in advance, the last resort would be the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

"You two, go to those two rooms on the west side of the second floor." Linghua was busy below, directing a group of women to pour tea and water into each room, when Zhao Yi and Qianqiu came over with a large kettle, Linghua pointed to the room above and said, "It's a distinguished guest there, be careful." ”

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and didn't say anything.

She had already run back and forth four times, and the teapot weighed five or six pounds, and she didn't feel anything at first when she carried it in her hand, but now it only felt heavier and heavier, and she had an urge to throw the teapot on the ground.

But after Linghua finished speaking, she still hugged it. Walked to the door and stopped, put down the teapot to wipe the sweat from her forehead, she had to take a breath, otherwise she wouldn't even have the strength to pour tea when she entered the door.

It's the same with Qianqiu, the two of them stood in front of a door, and they both gasped for a while. Zhao Yi asked Qianqiu: "Qianqiu, are you tired?" ”

Qianqiu put the pot down and wiped her sweat: "Miss, what do you say?" ”

After taking two breaths, Zhao Yi lifted the pot again: "I don't know who is here, but let me pour him tea!" It's really something he's cultivated in eight lifetimes! ”

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he knocked on the door: "Distinguished guest, the tea is here." ”

After speaking, he was about to push the door in, but the door had just opened a gap, Zhao Yi was frightened and took a few steps back and almost fell, Qianqiu was shocked to see it, and hurriedly ran over to support her: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Yi's face was very ugly, and he pointed to the inside of the room: "Bao, Bao Zheng!" ”

Just opened a crack in the door, and she just saw Bao Zheng. Even so, it was enough to make Zhao Yi panic.

Qianqiu suddenly panicked: "What should I do then?" He knows us! ”

Zhao Yi didn't know what to do, if she went in, Bao Zheng would definitely be able to recognize her, but if she didn't go in, tea would be added to other rooms, in case someone urged her to ask for it, it would still be exposed.

In the end, she decided to take a gamble: "Qianqiu, if you come to this room, Lord Bao may not recognize you." ”

Qianqiu was extremely frightened: "No, Master Bao will definitely recognize me, I have polished ink for him in the palace!" ”

Zhao Yi couldn't help but say, "Isn't it okay for you to keep your head down?" Just go! ”

Qianqiu had no choice but to change rooms with Zhao Yi, stood in front of Bao Zheng's door and hesitated for a while, never having the courage to enter.

Zhao Yi let go of his worries and knocked on the door of Qianqiu's house again: "Distinguished guest, the tea is here!" After saying that, as he had just done, he first opened a crack in the door.

This is Chen Yuan's request to them, before entering the door, shout a distinguished guest, no matter what the identity of the other party is. Then open the door slowly, so that the guest does not feel the slightest abruptness. When the crack in the door opened, she staggered back a few steps as she had done before, and this time fell down the aisle, spilling a pot of hot water on the floor, and burning the skin on her legs.

Qianqiu was startled and came over to support her: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Yi's face was sad: "Yang Yi! Yang Yi is in this room! ”

Yang Yi is not as big as Bao Zheng, but Yang Yi is Renzong's personal guard, and he is far more familiar with Zhao Yi than Bao Zheng. If Yang Yi wasn't deaf, just what Zhao Yi shouted just now, she wouldn't be able to run away.

Qianqiu also ran out of ideas, Yang Yi and Qianqiu He are quite familiar, he may be able to fool Bao Zheng with his head down, but he can't do it if he fools Yang Yi.

Zhao Yi covered her scalded calf in pain, and the pain and anxiety in her heart made her tears come down: "Qianqiu, what should I do!" ”

At this time, I heard a sigh next to me: "Alas, it is good to be at home, but it is difficult to go out, why should the girl suffer this crime?" ”

Linghua squatted down beside Zhao Yi and helped her up: "The girl thinks she hasn't done heavy work, right?" You go to the backyard to rest, give me this tea. ”

Zhao Yi didn't say anything, but Qianqiu knew that this was very wrong: "What kind of thing is this, you are a lady, if you let the shopkeeper know, you will inevitably punish us again." ”

Linghua smiled: "My husband is actually not a bad person, if you don't contradict him, he will definitely not be like this." Don't worry, if I don't tell her, it's a big deal. ”

Zhao Yi looked at Linghua with tears in his eyes: "What do you say?" ”

Linghua wanted to laugh in her heart when she heard this, and couldn't help but nodded: "Count, there are a few rooms for guests to bathe in the backyard, and they are not going to be used in the past two days, you go there to rest, I guarantee that he will not know." Oh yes, there is rice vinegar in the kitchen, take some and wash the burned area, it won't blister. ”

Zhao Yi said very gratefully: "You are really a good person. ”

Linghua smiled slightly: "Go quickly, if there are blisters, it will be troublesome in the future." ”

Zhao Yi watched Linghua carrying the kettle to deliver water, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and suddenly burst into a smile: "Okay now, let's hide in the back, let's hide today first!" ”

Qianqiu helped her: "You better go and wash it with rice vinegar first!" ”

Pang Taishi's luxurious carriage appeared in Chen Yuan's sight, the people driving the car were very strong, and there were many evil slaves from the Taishi Mansion on both sides to open the way, although the guards and catchers of the mountain villa had divided a road that was enough for the carriage to drive to the door, but those people still waved the whip in their hands twice from time to time, pushing the crowd on both sides: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! ”

These are the wicked people, and they don't do it because others are in their way, but because they want others to pay attention to them.

Chen Yuan immediately walked up quickly, and whispered when he walked to Tie'an: "Pay attention to those who are squeezing forward!" ”

Pang Xi suddenly disappeared at this time, and Zhanzhao of Kaifeng Mansion was also gone. Chen Yuan knew that the final outcome of this little game was about to be revealed.

In the crowd, a woman carrying a vegetable basket suddenly walked up to the two young men who were also dressed as farmers next to her, and whispered, "Second brother, the old thief is here." ”

The young man who was called the second brother hummed softly: "Do what you planned." Mei Xian, these catches are under the hands of Lord Bao, Lord Bao treats us well, remember to leave a little measure. ”

The woman nodded: "Second brother, don't worry, I will never cause a fatality." ”

The young man looked at the man beside him again: "Fourth brother, you have seen the old thief, don't admit your mistake, remember, you have to be ruthless, you don't have to worry about those minions, leave it to me." ”

The young man next to him was Hu Yanlong, who had stabbed Pang Ji and escaped in Taishi's Mansion a few days ago, and the two around him were Hu Yanping and Huyan Meixian, who Chen Yuan had never found.

Hu Yanlong took out two copper hammers from Hu Yan Meixian's vegetable basket: "Second brother, don't worry, I know the old thief even if he turns to ashes!" ”

Hu Yanping nodded: "Okay, now spread out, keep your distance, I heard that the old thief is going to take down the red on the head of the mountain villa in front of the door, and we will do it at that time!" ”
