Chapter 51 Backing

The Yellow Crane Tower is located directly opposite the Laixing Gambling Workshop and is a three-and-a-half-storey theater building.

This location is good, lively and prosperous, and there are small merchants and hawkers below, buying and selling, and there is an endless stream.

The door of the private room at the end of the third floor was pushed open from the outside, and when Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and entered the door, Zhao Ying was playing with a lychee in his hand.

The peeled lychee even has the core removed, but the fine white flesh is not as white and attractive as the slender jade fingers.

Zhou Yan glanced at it in a hurry, and he didn't even see Zhao Ying's face clearly, so he hurriedly lowered his head again.

Song Leyi slapped the back of her hand with a tiger face, and took a handkerchief to wipe her hands: "If you want to eat, you can eat, if you don't eat, you will leave it down, waste things, and get juice in your hand, is it dirty or not?" ”

Zhao Ying ate and laughed, and let her go.

When Zhou Yan completely approached the house, and the carved door behind him was brought up again, Song Huaiyong called Fenggong.

Zhou Yan folded his hands, didn't dare to get too close, and asked Zhao Ying from a distance to see him: "Weichen Shuntianfu pushes Zhou Yan, I have seen His Highness." ”

Zhao Ying held her cheeks and looked at him for a long time, but he kept his head down, hiding half of his face, and even his eyebrows, she could barely see it.

But it doesn't matter.

Zhou Fenggong, she knows.

He is a down-to-earth person who can do practical things.

A belly of knowledge and ability, but unfortunately there is no good background, Chenghui 35 years of the second class fourth, should have a better future.

Zhao Ying lazily called for pardon, seeing that he never dared to raise his head, a light laugh overflowed from his lips: "Lord Zhou is afraid of me? ”

Zhou Yan was stunned: "Why did Your Highness say this?" ”

While she said you sit down, she asked something that made people speechless: "Since Lord Zhou entered the door, he didn't dare to look at me at a glance, aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Song Leyi seemed a little unhappy and pulled her cuffs.

Zhou Yancai was about to sit aside, but he became restrained again.

Song Huaiyong rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "Fenggong, the princess is a kind character, this time the matter depends on you, don't be so restrained." ”

Speaking of Song Huaiyong and Zhou Yan, I have to sigh that fate is wonderful. One is the concubine of the Shilang Mansion, and the other is a concubine from a poor family, who was originally unable to beat the eight poles, but in this place in the capital, after many years, he has become a close friend.

Zhou Yan listened to his tone, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively raised his eyes: "Weichen is just afraid that His Highness will be abrupt." ”

The smile in the corner of Zhao Ying's eyes deepened: "Lord Zhou went to the gambling house to ransom people, did the process go smoothly?" ”

The girl's bright smile was reflected in Zhou Yan's eyes, and he was a little distracted.

Since the founding of the country, there has been no princess as favored as Princess Yongjia.

But at this moment, there was a touch of loneliness behind that bright face, and when he saw it, he was distracted and distracted.

Zhou Yan felt that he might be crazy, and didn't dare to think about it anymore: "Miss He's parents and brother and sister-in-law have all been picked up, but Miss He ...... her."

He wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

Zhao Ying's eyelids jumped: "What's wrong with Liuyan?" ”

Zhou Yan really felt embarrassed and set his eyes on Song Huaiyong.

Song Huaiyong was also stunned when he looked at him, and he faintly understood something in his heart, and the corners of his mouth moved: "You...... You say it bluntly. ”

As if it was because of his encouragement, Zhou Yan's worries in his heart were dispelled, and he gritted his teeth: "The people in the gambling house sent Miss He to Xihualou, and she was no longer in the gambling house when Weichen went to redeem people, but the people in the gambling house should also be inherited, since they sent them, naturally they went to pick them up, and sent them back to He's house." ”

Good fast action.

I kidnapped people last night, and this morning I brought up the money to ransom people, and I have already sent them to the Qinglou.

These ninth-rate business doorways, even in Zhao Ying's previous life, did not have much contact.

At the moment, I'm just afraid that the wild goose will go in and out of the Xihua Building, and it will be a bad thing.

Her heart fell slightly, and her face was not good: "Master Zhou, do you know why the people in the gambling house went back on their word, and suddenly came to the door last night to kidnap people?" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head and said that he didn't know: "When Weichen went to redeem people, the owner of the gambling house did not show up, and only said that it was natural to repay debts, and it was a rogue posture. ”

Dealing with the lower nine streams, Zhou Yan's book is definitely not good.

Zhao Ying pressed her eyebrows: "What is the origin of the owner of this gambling house?" ”

"The owner of the gambling house is surnamed Bai, his ancestral home is Huaiyin, and he is a businessman." Whatever she asked, Zhou Yan answered honestly, "But the whereabouts of the white shopkeeper are a mystery, and he has never been very public." ”

"A low-key person dares to offend the magistrate of Shuntianfu?" Zhao Ying's eyes were cloudy, "I know that there is an official behind the opening of the gambling house, and Lord Zhou is the official of the Shuntian Mansion, do you know which one is behind the gambling house?" ”

"This ......"

He hesitated and did not answer Zhao Ying's words.

Zhao Ying's eyebrows froze: "It seems that Lord Zhou knows." ”

I know, but I don't dare to say it.

Zhou Yan hurriedly waved his hand: "Your Highness misunderstood, Weichen didn't know, so I didn't know how to answer Your Highness." ”

Zhao Ying sneered: "Really? If you know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know, what do you do? ”

"Wechen is just a six-grade pusher, there are many things, it's not Wechen's turn to know......" Zhou Yan's face flashed embarrassment and loneliness, "I just heard some by chance two years ago, but it has nothing to do with Wechen, Wechen has not investigated and explored it in detail, and now His Royal Highness asks, Wechen doesn't dare to reply indiscriminately." ”

Zhao Ying's face eased slightly: "If Lord Zhou heard something, tell me something, don't count your nonsense." ”

Zhou Yan's gaze bypassed her again and fell on Song Huaiyong.

Song Huaiyong was eating tea with a cup, and the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of it, and swallowed the sip of tea: "You say yours, don't always look at me." ”

"It was about five years ago, there were fatalities in the Laixing Gambling House, but it was not handled by Weichen, so I only heard some occasionally, and the case was finally determined to be an accidental death, which had nothing to do with the gambling house, and the Laixing Gambling House and the Bai family were cleaned, saying that there was an adult from the Yushitai to support the Bai family."

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, as if he was seriously recalling: "Three years ago, the gambling house forced a family to death for a gambling debt of 3,000 taels, and the case was handled by Weichen, but the IOU receipt should be available, according to the "Great Qi Law", the white shopkeeper cannot be convicted, and the silver money has been confiscated, and the matter has been revealed." At that time, the adults of Shuntian Mansion said again that there were ministers who supported the Bai family......"

The cases of human life after crossing the bright road were easily revealed, and the people behind the gambling house really covered the sky with one hand.

The more Zhao Ying listened, the more gloomy and blue her face became: "Who is from Yushitai?" Which cabinet minister? ”

Zhou Yan probably didn't expect her to ask about this, so he hesitated for a while.

Zhao Ying glanced over and raised her eyebrows: "What?" Is Lord Zhou afraid that his career will not go well in the future and he will be excluded by others? ”
