The dock pallets are blazing.

Yan Sui took a big boat this time, unable to approach the shore, and as soon as the plank road burned, the people on the boat could not go ashore unless they swam.

But this is not a problem for Yan Sui, throwing out a few fruits and stepping on the shore in a dashing manner.

The rest of the people didn't have his ability, so they naturally had to be one step slower, and Yan Sui naturally wouldn't wait for them, so they went ashore and went straight to the city.

He soon arrived near the restaurant, and at this time, in order not to put pressure on the people inside and bring danger to Wen Zhen, the county guard and the soldiers in the palace, as well as Tang Xian's capital, had been withdrawn and hid in the nearby houses to continue to monitor.

Before Yan Sui arrived at the restaurant, he only saw the wine flag fluttering at the door, and the first line of words was distinct.

"The Yiren entered the tiger's den alone, can Your Excellency dare to trespass?"

The wine flag fluttered, and when he saw the words clearly, it suddenly turned into dust and dispersed.

Yan Sui stopped in front of the restaurant.

With his wisdom, he naturally understood the meaning of this sentence. Tang Xianzhi told him that Wen Zhen had gone in, so if he wanted to go in at this moment, it would probably bring danger to Wen Zhen.

If it is for the safety of Wen Zhen, he can't break through and retreat obediently.

Another yang plots to attack the heart.

Yan Sui stood in the wind, watching the sparks in the restaurant flash, and stopped silently.

……

In the restaurant, Wen Zhen and Fang Sleeve looked at each other.

Wen Zhen didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and the original two plans collapsed almost instantly.

She originally planned to start plan one or two according to the character of the people in the restaurant. Plan 1 is if, as the county order says, this is a group of tigresses with a bad temperament, then she poisoned and overthrew this group of people.

The second plan is that if this group of people is as she guesses, then there will be no problem with her meal, people will relax during the meal, she will have confidence in her food, and then decide whether to help and to what extent according to the information revealed by everyone.

And she's looking for someone else.

But at this moment, the appearance of Fang Sleeve Ke instantly died in one or two, and then she also made three plans in an instant.

If the Sleeve Guest reveals her identity, she'll yell at that person.

On the stairs, the square-sleeved guest looked at her interestingly, looking at this girl who was about to be torn down in front of her, but her face did not change and she did not even roll her eyes, and she still looked clumsy.

There was a bit of a hard silence for a moment.

Then she suddenly smiled.

said: "Where did the little chef come from, the cooking is so fragrant!" ”

Wen Zhen's heart slammed back into his chest, and then he was filled with deep doubts.

This sleeve girl obviously recognized her, why didn't she expose it?

The sleeve lady had already greeted everyone one after another, took the food handed over by everyone, lifted her skirt and sat on the stairs, and ate it in a big gulp.

Everyone seemed to have a lot of affection and respect for her, and they all gathered around her, chattering with her about the little chef's cooking skills, introducing her to which dishes were better, and talking about today's events.

Wen Zhen was waiting for this, focusing on two things, while continuing to show his skills in the kitchen, he listened with his ears pricked up.

"It seems that the people of the prefectural order have withdrawn! The lobbyists are gone! ”

"Just leave us hanging here?"

"No, in my opinion, maybe the army is about to arrive, so these people withdrew."

"So what do we do? Do they ignore Yao Xiancheng and Yun Boss Liu? Sleeve Niang, tell me what's going on? ”

The square-sleeved guest glanced at Wen Zhen, seeing that she was concentrating on stir-frying, and did not reply, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Hey, give me another anchovy shrimp...... What could it be, they found the rescue. ”

"Rescue, where is the rescue?" A woman with a grim face asked.

"It doesn't matter where the rescue is, if they don't agree to our request today, they will push it down one by one. Start with Liu Thief! This old bastard, how much money has you taken away from us for so many years? The signed deed book trap is not short for ten years, and it will automatically turn into a lifetime; The price of embroidery products is divided according to the grade, and the results are all set to C, and the craftsmanship of embroidering phoenix robes for the queen is set to C! If you don't take a vacation, you can't get sick, you will be deducted if you ask for leave, and if you take too much leave, you will directly reduce your hair, etc.; Thirty to one is already so low that it can't be lower, and you have to make two account books, plus so many deductions! I am tired and tired day and night, my hands are almost crippled, my eyes are almost blind, and I get that little money every month, which is not enough to see a doctor! They don't need to be kind, but if the silver is given on time according to the rules, Yueniang's sister will not die so early! ”

A young woman, probably the moon mother, covered her face and cried when she heard the words.

"As for Yueniang's skills, put it in Tianjing, big families rush to ask for it! What did the Tianjing merchant say last time? Yueniang's messy needle-embroidered handkerchief was sold for a hundred taels of silver! One hundred taels of silver! Oh my God, Yueniang is here, and she can't earn it for three lifetimes! Where did all that money, all the money we earned, go? ”

"Where did you go? went to the pocket of the owner of the embroidery village, to the eunuch bag of the county lord and the county guard, and to the treasury of the Tang family! ”

"These black-hearted old men who have lost their virtues for eight lifetimes, seeing that we don't want to fight for embroidered phoenix robes, use rewards to deceive us and engage in some kind of competition. In the end, we're all in trouble! ”

"Anyway......" Someone suddenly said quietly, "Ling Niangzi, how did you die?" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like cold water into hot oil, and the boiling angry scolding immediately subsided, everyone looked at each other, and most of them showed awe-inspiring expressions of fear, and they didn't dare to speak.

Or the girl who met Wen Zhen at the beginning, and said angrily for a while: "How did you die?" Could it really be that Yu Niang stabbed to death? Yu Niang and Ling Niang have the best relationship, how can they kill Ling Niang in order to compete for the first place in phoenix robe embroidery? ”

The cold-faced embroidery lady who spoke at the beginning immediately retorted, "Isn't she who she is?" Can the knife run in her hand by itself? Yu Niang has always been a jealous person, don't you know? ”

There was silence again, and after a long time, a girl whispered: "I suspect that this matter has something to do with the phoenix robe...... before she finished speaking, she was covered by another person.

The sallow-faced woman was silent for a while and said, "What the hell is going on, probably only Yu Niang knows." We tied up these people in this Dingtai Building, just asking for a free body and in exchange for Yu Niang, but now it seems that ......"

Everyone's expressions darkened.

Wen Zhen listened to this for a long time, and probably understood what happened, the so-called competition does not exist, and the right to make phoenix robes does not exist, and it is the three embroidery owners who want to rob, but these embroidery girls are not active. They were stripped of their money, the embroidery of the phoenix robe was cumbersome, the requirements were high, the pressure was great, the money was not more than a penny, and the queen would not call them to Tianjing because they were satisfied with wearing the phoenix robe, and they didn't benefit at all, why should they fight to die or live for this?

But signed a death contract with the embroidery owner, had to participate, and then in the process of competition, there was an embroidery girl found a problem, it seems that the person who killed the mouth, the person who shot dragged another embroidery girl as a scapegoat, and the rest of the embroidery girl was deeply frightened, so it was a quarrel, at first it was just a dispute with the embroidery owner, but it may have been threatened, coupled with the past grudges, it has long been unbearable to exploit, simply unite, desperately fight for oneself.

The embroidery workshop is the pillar industry of the local area, and now all the important embroiderers are gathered here, once all of them are killed, the entire local industry will be paralyzed, and the government should not want to see this happen.

But if the deed is not burned and freed, these embroiderers should be imprisoned in the embroidery workshop and toiled to death.

Wen Zhen glanced back and saw the blankness on the faces of these embroidery girls, they were driven by fear and anger, and they did great things on impulse, but they didn't know what to do next, and they didn't know whether they would step into hell or abyss next.

Wen Zhen knew that at this moment, the three thousand iron armor were moving rapidly, and the black armor was like a large dark cloud moving under the moonlight.

Knowing that Tang Xianzhi has arrived in Zhangxian County, if there is really a problem with the phoenix robe, if there is really the will of the Tang family behind this matter, then the Tang family will never care about the lives of hundreds of embroidery girls, nor will they care about directly cutting off the pillar industries of Zhangxian County.

Knowing the style and determination of the gate valve, he only focuses on the overall situation and interests, and human life is just a joke between the lips and teeth of the nobles, and the numbers in the account books that are gently turned over between his fingers.

Wen Zhen's subordinates are not slow, but they are thinking in their hearts, what about that sleeve girl? Tang Xianzhi said that her name is Fang Sleeve Ke, what role did she play in it?

The sleeve guest at the top of the stairs was talking, and everyone was kind to her, implying a little respect. The square sleeve guest is also very easy-going and natural, and he accosted you and laughed with her, which is obviously very familiar.

Wen Zhen gradually heard that Fang Sleeve Ke has a local industry, that is, the proprietress of the Qinglou next door to this restaurant, the embroidery girl died tragically in the previous competition, and the rest of the embroidery girls were threatened with their lives, chased and killed by inexplicable people, and jumped everywhere under fright. After the embroidery village owner and the government to negotiate with the embroidery girl to appease, the embroidery girls out of their dependence on her trust, also chose this restaurant, sure enough, during the negotiation, the government came out of the moth, pretending to agree to invalidate the deed, let the embroidery girls free, to everyone toast to celebrate, want to drug them in the wine to stun, and was called by the sleeve guest, when even if the big fight, the owner of the needle village panicked and fell downstairs, after the matter evolved out of control, everyone had to take a risk, detain the county and the two owners, and the government stalemate.

Wen Zhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, how could he not have imagined that the granddaughter of the master of medicine would go to another city to be the proprietress of the Qinglou, was it so open in ancient times? This one is still yellow tweed.

Fang Sleeve Ke is very interested in Tang Xianzhi, these embroidery villages are actually industries secretly controlled by the Tang family, so is her position really to help these embroidery girls?

What is the relationship between Fang Sleeve Ke and Tang Xianzhi? Tang Xianzhi knew that there was chaos here, but he was still not in a hurry, and he didn't seem to make any moves, was it because the chess pieces he arranged had already fallen?

So the square sleeve didn't break her?

Because she thinks that the two have the same position?

Wen Zhen came in to find someone, but at this moment, she was a little hesitant.

It's not a good feeling to see people fall into the abyss step by step.

But now the square sleeve guest has a preconceived idea, and has won the trust of the embroidery girl, she is an inexplicable person, if she wants to overturn everyone's trust in the other sleeve guest, it is really difficult to let Yan Sui wear asymmetrical clothes.

Just thinking about it, the square-sleeved guest beckoned to her and said, "Little chef, you fry two fresh dishes, serve them with rice and soup, and follow me to deliver food to the guests." ”

Wen Zhen was in the middle of it, hurriedly got it ready, loaded it on a tray, and the rest of the people rushed into the kitchen, each looking for what they liked to eat.

Wen Zhen followed behind the square-sleeved guest, looking at her sleeves fluttering, wide collar, exposing her chest in front and neck in the back, and revealing half a bright red mark on her low back collar, I don't know if it is a birthmark or a decoration, it looks like the shape of a flower, the dress of a real Qinglou bustard, and her walking posture is also a new lotus, curling Tingting, thinking of seeing her as a wandering vendor setting up a stall on Silk Street, I thought I was really a COS god.

The two went up to the second floor, walked through the lobby, and walked to a narrow corner, Wen Zhen thought that it was almost.

Sure enough, the square-sleeved guest stopped.

She turned around, her eyes lit up like a little wild cat in the dark, the smile on the corner of her lips flowed, and she suddenly reached out to pinch Wen Zhen's face, "He asked you to come?" ”

Wen Zhen didn't seem to have intentionally tilted his head, so he dodged this unintentional and malicious pinch, thinking that this was indeed the case.

He also smiled: "It seems that I don't need me anymore, sleeve girl." ”

Fang Sleeve pouted, "He still doesn't believe me." ”

Wen Zhen leaned on the railing and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Fang Sleeve looked back downstairs and said, "After all, it's a group of poor people. In fact, the Tang family has no intention of exploiting too much, after all, such a family also needs reputation. It is the owner of this embroidery workshop who colludes with the local government to hateful it. I don't know how much oil and water I rubbed in the middle. Childe's meaning, originally asked me to find out what the government and the owner had done, and by the way, to see which embroidery girls knew about it. If you know about it, you will naturally clean it up, and if you don't know, you will leave them alive. ”

Wen Zhen thought to himself? Which thing? Is it related to the queen's phoenix robe?

He smiled and said, "It looks like you've already counted." ”

"So what did he ask you to do?" The square-sleeved guest squinted at her, "Just so worried about me?" Because I asked those few words, I thought I would hate out of jealousy? ”

"How so. You're such an atmospheric person. Wen Zhen smiled sweetly, "Tang Gongzi is afraid that you will lose if you are alone inside, let me take care of it." ”

"Is he willing?" Fang Sleeve smiled, "You are all unmarried, why are you still called so rusty?" ”

"Or else? When you call me husband to your face, or envy your kiss? Wen Zhen glanced at her, "I'm not afraid of irritating you." ”

Fang Sleeve Ke smiled, reached out to pinch her face again, and said with a smile: "Now I finally understand a little bit why Gongzi would fall in love with you." ”

Wen Zhen didn't hide this time, showing a frank smile.

She has always been good at dealing with people, and she has a natural cordial and not too intimate attitude, which can make people naturally let go of their guards, and feel trustworthy and loved.

Sure enough, after this pinch, Fang Sleeve's attitude was a little closer, leaning on the railing and looking downstairs, and sighed: "That Yueniang, you should know a few points." Qiu Niangzi, the woman with a little yellow skin, may also know something. But the problem now is that Qiu Niangzi is cautious and suspicious, and she shouldn't leak it casually. Yueniang is a sensitive and timid character, and her mouth is broken on weekdays, and it is likely that she has been passed through the wind, and there may be more than one person. She turned her head, looked at Wen Zhen, and said, "Just now, Gongzi has given me instructions, saying that there should be a problem with any of these embroidery girls, so as not to cause trouble, let me kill all these embroidery girls together." ”

Wen Zhen's heart jumped, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he only frowned and said, "It's too difficult to extinguish them all." The implication is also big, has Childe figured out how to deal with the aftermath? ”

"Push it to the local government and the owner of the embroidery workshop. They deserve to die anyway. Coincidentally, "Fang Sleeve Man didn't care about the authentic road, "One of the embroidery workshop owners has a little collusion with the Ji family in private. ”

Wen Zhen suddenly thought to himself that this was no wonder. The three major gates are quite fierce against each other, and there must also be the means of the imperial court, so it is not surprising that there is the Ji family's handiwork behind this matter, so it is not surprising that the Tang family counterattacked.

The Ji family instigated collusion with the owner, causing the embroidery girl to make trouble, which could cause losses to the Tang family's weaving, and could bring trouble to the Tang family.

What's going on with the phoenix robe, is it the Ji family or the Tang family?

She said tentatively: "I didn't expect that the matter of the phoenix robe would be discovered." ”

Fang Sleeve Ke suddenly looked back at her, his eyes were deep, and he saw that her heart was jumping, but his face was at ease, and he quickly remedied, "It can be seen that everything has its own clues." ”

Fang Sleeve glanced at her, turned his head, and said, "I don't know what's going on with the matter of the phoenix robe." But I think that if the Tang family wants to make a move, they will never use their own embroidery workshop to do it. ”

Wen Zhen wants to do the same. But I didn't dare to say more, just a smile that was clear enough to deal with everything.

At this time, there was a voice in the private room around the corner. Fang Sleeve suddenly said: "Oops, I almost forgot about business." Come on, come on. ”

hurriedly pulled Wen Zhen to the private room, and as soon as the door opened, she smiled and said inside: "I'm hungry, I'm bringing you food." ”

The people in the room turned their heads, and Wen Zhen, who was already mentally prepared, was still full of surprise in his heart the moment he saw him.

A sentence almost blurted out.

Why are you here?

Sikong Yu.

Under the light of the previous star, the face she saw in front of the window was Sikong Yu's.

So she had to come in anyway, and she still had questions for Sikong Yu.

The room was lit with a lamp and covered with a curtain, Sikong Yu saw her with a surprised face, Wen Zhen smiled at him, and also greeted him with a little surprise.

She thought about whether to hide her whereabouts, and then thought that as the imperial chef in the palace and an official of the imperial court, she should know Sikong Yu, and pretending not to know might arouse suspicion.

She had thought about it before, no matter who had to eat, the identity of a cook was the easiest to get into, and sure enough, now, there was a chance to deliver food to Sikong Yu.

She exchanged a few words with Sikong Yu and asked him why he was here, the people who studied in Sikong Yudao Tianji Mansion would also have various missions to train, and if something happened in Zhangxian, he was sent to check. He was also there when the restaurant said that he was there, as a neutral person on both sides of the watch, after the incident, he did not help the official side, but instead rescued an embroidery girl who was almost pushed downstairs, so he was entertained, but the embroidery girl could not determine his position, refused to let him leave, asked him to stay here, he happened to want to find out some things, so he stayed.

Wen Zhen wanted to ask him about Junke, but Fang Sleeve was on the side, it was difficult to speak, and he was thinking about how to ask, when suddenly someone was calling Fang Sleeve Guest, "Sleeve Niang!" Sleeve girl! Old thief Liu almost ran away just now! ”

Immediately, someone shouted in even more panic, "Sleeve Niang, Sleeve Niang, we seem to be surrounded by people again, and the other party seems to be a soldier from the county governor's mansion!" ”

The square-sleeved guest stood up and said, "Don't panic!" He didn't have time to say hello to Wen Zhen Sikong Yu, so he pedaled underground.

Wen Zhen got the opportunity and immediately asked Sikong Yu, "The letter you wrote to me-"

Before she could finish asking, the door was suddenly slammed open, and a cold-faced woman stood at the door with a few men full of rivers and lakes, and said, "This girl, please go down." ”

Wen Zhen thought to himself, didn't he already say it, why was he suddenly so vigilant again, but he couldn't ask anymore at the moment, so he had to get up and follow the group of people downstairs.

The group sandwiched her in the middle, and Wen Zhen walked and walked, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

This wasn't the staircase she had come up earlier.

This restaurant has two staircases, which is the staircase on the other side, because it is relatively remote and there are fewer people.

Wen Zhen walked and walked, listening to the hollow sound of the wooden staircase, and felt uneasy for no reason, when he turned the corner, he saw a lot of embroidery girls below, some of whom had eaten her before, and some of whom were not, everyone looked up at her with their faces up, looking at her expressionlessly.

The eye movements made her feel cold, and she was almost about to turn around and run away, but she was also blocked by people behind her.

Wen Zhen noticed that something was wrong, and was thinking about what method to use to solve it, whether to fight or flee, when suddenly a female voice said sharply: "She is not a poor little cook, as soon as she comes, the soldiers of the county lieutenant will come, she must be a spy, kill her-"

"Bang." The sound of a knife drawn behind him.

Wen Zhen turned over and jumped onto the railing.

She originally planned to rush upstairs to grab Sikong Yu and escape, so that Sikong Yu could protect her, but this time she stood on a high place, and she suddenly saw a figure appear outside a section of the courtyard wall of the half-open back door.

The figure was tall, and the face could not be seen in the dim light.

But for Wen Zhen, he could recognize it as Yan Sui with his eyes closed.

In my heart, I thought oh, I still caught up, and shouted oh, I bought Ge to chase well!

The mouth has already burst out, "Dad! ”
