The more you drink the wine, the warmer it gets, the colder the water gets, and it's better to drink a little wine on an autumn night to keep warm.

Before coming to this world, Zhao Zheng didn't drink alcohol, but after arriving here, he thought that he had to drink, since he had made up his mind to be with the rivers and lakes, how could he do it without the company of wine?

The wine that Zhao Zheng drank tonight is daughter red, this wine is a kind of glutinous rice wine, which is specially used to entertain guests at the time of marriage, which is not only very clear and delicious, but also has a considerable nourishing effect.

After a few sips of wine, a warmth had risen in Zhao Zheng's stomach, which gradually spread throughout his body.

A hint of autumn breeze blew through the night, blowing Zhao Zheng's hair and blowing away the aroma of wine overflowing from the bottle.

The place where Zhao Zheng was at this time was not Qibao County, but Hongchen Inn. After delivering the letter to Zhang Yuanwai's house at noon today, he immediately took Li Zhenzhen back here in a carriage. He came back to receive the money, and if the three were willing to pay obediently, the carrier pigeon should arrive soon.

Although they agreed that the latest rì period would be the Ming rì noon, the agreement was that the people were dead and the people were alive, and it was very likely that the three outsiders would have sent the money early. Of course, this idea is a bit too good, maybe the three outsiders are not willing to pay this hush money, maybe the three outsiders will spend more money to hire a master to kill him.

However, no matter how many possibilities there are, he has to make the best plan and proceed with this matter step by step.

For the first time in his life, he was so eager to see a carrier pigeon.

He had to wait until the pigeon appeared.

Although Li Zhenzhen came back with him, Li Zhenzhen did not come to accompany him, because the two agreed to take turns waiting for the carrier pigeon to come back. They must personally pick up the carrier pigeons and not let outsiders interfere, otherwise it is easy to leak the news. This matter is a little secret shared by two people, and it cannot be told to outsiders, or even to the people in the inn.

This is the money that Zhao Zheng dúlì gets, there is no need to share it with others, and the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

Waiting for a pigeon alone is not a pleasant thing, not to mention that there are so many variables in things, Zhao Zheng felt a little anxious in his heart, and his heart was like the hair dancing in the wind on his forehead.

After the night was already deep, Zhao Zheng was a little sleepy, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and just half-asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of flapping his wings, and the god jīng was immediately vibrate. He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see a carrier pigeon from far and near, flapping its wings and landing on the pigeon cage.

Zhao Zheng was overjoyed, jumped up from the threshold, walked quickly to the pigeon cage, opened his hands, slowly approached the cooing pigeon, grabbed the pigeon in his hand, and untied the paper roll on the pigeon's feet. He let go of his hand and the pigeon returned to the cage, where he walked around freely. He spread out the paper scroll and found that there were two of them, one of which was a silver ticket with a face value of 10,000 taels, and the other was a written letter, which told him in the words of Wen Crepe that he must keep his promise and not talk nonsense, otherwise the three members would be with him.

Zhao Zheng smiled, put the letter and silver ticket written by the three members to his nose, sniffed it twice, and identified whether it was contaminated with poisonous powder. Judging by the smell, there is nothing unusual on the two sheets of paper. He put his mind at ease, picked up the two pieces of paper, settled the carrier pigeons, and returned to the inn alone.

He wanted to go back to the house to sleep, and then tell Li Zhenzhen the good news until tomorrow, but he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, so he came to Li Zhenzhen's door and knocked lightly three times. He paused for a moment, and when he found that there was no response in the house, he knocked on the door a few more times, and this time there was finally a reaction in the room.

"Who's knocking on the door?" Li Zhenzhen asked in a sleeping voice.

"'Knock knock' on the door." Zhao Zheng replied with a smile.

"Do you mean...... The carrier pigeon is back? When Li Zhenzhen heard that Zhao Zheng was disturbing at night, even if she thought of this matter, if it was a side matter, Zhao Zheng would not be in such a hurry.

"That's right." Zhao Zhengdao.

"Great! You wait outside, and I'll open the door for you as soon as I'm dressed. Li Zhenzhen was overjoyed when she heard this, and tinkered in the room for a while, then held the candlestick in her hand, opened the door, and welcomed Zhao Zheng into the house.

After seeing the door closed, Zhao Zheng whispered about receiving the carrier pigeon, took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, handed them to Li Zhenzhen, and said, "This is the silver ticket and the letter written to us by the three outsiders." ”

"The money I make is good, although I have seen a lot of huge silver tickets at home before, but none of the silver tickets make people feel kind." Li Zhenzhen looked at the silver ticket happily, her eyes were bent into a crescent moon, and she stared at the silver ticket for a long time, as if this silver ticket was her future husband. When she had seen enough, she picked up another piece of paper, read it again, and then read one of the sentences, "'I hope that Your Excellency will keep your promise not to disclose matters relating to the Flower Trail to a third party, and if you break it, you will not be spared.'" Haha, judging from the tone of their voices, they should have held their breath. ”

"Anyone who is extorted 10,000 taels of silver will not feel good." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.

"I just make them uncomfortable, who let them dig a secret passage behind their wives, if they don't dig this secret passage, how can they be blackmailed by us? It's all their own fault. Li Zhenzhen pouted.

"Totally agree."

Li Zhenzhen put down the silver ticket, re-examined Zhao Zheng a few times, and then praised rarely: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart enough to think of a way to send money with carrier pigeons." ”

"It's just clever." Zhao Zheng didn't care.

"I didn't think of such an idea, didn't I even have a little cleverness?"

"You are not clever, you are wise and foolish."

"Hehe, you have made a great contribution this time, allowing you to be a little stinky and beautiful tonight."

"I'm not you, I don't like stinky beauty, even if I want to stinky beauty, I have to finish everything I need to do to stink beauty."

"What else is there to do?" Li Zhenzhen was stunned when she heard this.

"Check this silver ticket." Zhao Zheng pointed to the silver ticket on the table, although he smelled the smell on the silver ticket just now, but it was only a preliminary inspection, and he had to check it carefully.

"Isn't this silver ticket good?" Li Zhenzhen picked up the silver ticket, and she also thought of poisoning, so she sniffed the silver ticket, and then shook her head and said, "There is no poison on it." ”

"If I were one of those three members, I would definitely do something on the silver ticket, if there is a powerful poison in my hand, I will smear the poison, if there is no strong poison, I will make some marks on the silver ticket, and then notify the surrounding silver banks to pay attention to this kind of silver ticket with a mark." Zhao Zheng analyzed from his position.

"Makes sense!" Li Zhenzhen nodded in agreement and glanced at Zhao Zheng approvingly, "You are quite thoughtful when you think about things." ”

"It's not that I'm thoughtful, it's that the stakes are so high that I have to be careful." Zhao Zheng didn't get fluttery because he was praised, and he was still very modest.

The two then began to check the pattern on the silver ticket, looking for possible marks, and Li Zhenzhen also took out a silver ticket with a face value of one hundred taels from her body, and compared it with the silver ticket with a face value of ten thousand taels. The style of the silver ticket in this world is quite complicated, with two dragons riding the clouds and fog painted on both sides, and some of them are frames with intricate lace, and the "Great Yan Treasure Banknote" and the denomination of the silver ticket are written in the frame, and the official seal of the red sè is also stamped in the lower corner. The style of the two silver tickets is basically the same, but the denomination is different.

The two sat side by side, lying under the oil lamp together, holding two silver tickets to compare them carefully, looking for clues.

Zhao Zheng looked at the two silver tickets, his eyes wandered back and forth, from the hair of Li Zhenzhen on his side, there was a burst of fragrant aroma, the tip of his nose moved, it felt very good, and he couldn't help but glance sideways at Li Zhenzhen. I saw Li Zhenzhen looking at the silver ticket on the table intently, her beautiful eyes did not blink, under the light of the fire, her side face outlined a beautiful curve, especially the curvature of the chin is the most round, which makes people feel comfortable to look at.

Li Zhenzhen noticed Zhao Zheng's gaze and also looked sideways.

As soon as the two made eye contact, Zhao Zheng subconsciously withdrew his gaze and looked at the silver ticket below.

Li Zhenzhen thought that Zhao was peeking at herself, and she faintly felt funny, and the corners of her mouth curled.

At this moment, Zhao Zheng suddenly pointed to the silver ticket and said excitedly: "Look here!" The dragon's whiskers were a little longer than the other's, and the ink was very new, which should be the mark secretly left by the three members. ”
