Chapter 62: Covert Investigation (2)
She was now bent on finding out the real reason for the poisoning, and Ouyang Yano was definitely involved, but there was no trace of her meddling here.
So Ouyang Lanzhi changed her clothes, and just as she was about to go out, she found that her maids and grandmothers had all been sent back.
Xia Yu and Chunqiu saw Ouyang Lanzhi, and cried happily in a hurry, "Princess......"
It would be best if the princess was safe and sound, but they were locked up together and frightened, afraid that something would happen to the princess, and now that it was okay, it was all over.
Xia Yu and Chunqiu were so happy that they suddenly found that Ouyang Lanzhi was going out, and the two hurriedly followed.
Ouyang Lanzhi went out and took Li Huashang and the two maids to Tianlai Restaurant.
When he arrived at the Tianlai Restaurant, the little second brother saw that the clothes of several people were either rich or expensive, and he hurriedly took them forward and welcomed them in.
"Objectively, please, our store has good wine and food for your guests, I don't know how many people want to order."
Li Huashang was very interested in the restaurant outside, and knew that Ouyang Lanzhi was here to investigate the matter, so she simply asked the little second brother to serve some signature dishes casually.
They sat in the box, and when they finished eating, Li Huashang called the little second brother back.
The little second brother was receiving guests in the store, and he had already trained himself to be a human spirit when people came and went, and he knew that Ouyang Lanzhi and Li Huashang were not here purely for dinner.
These two people are not ordinary people at first glance, especially this woman dressed in a gorgeous way, who must be the wife of a family.
Ouyang Lanzhi looked at Xia Yu, and at a glance, Xia Yu took out a certain amount of broken silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the little second brother.
The little second brother took the silver without a trace, waiting for Ouyang Lanzhi's words.
"A few days ago, my grandmother came here to sit down and recommended to me that there is the best food in the city, I don't know if the second brother can bring us a copy."
The little second brother thought that the other party was going to ask about some confidential things, but he didn't expect that this was all there.
The little second brother hurriedly replied: "This lady said well, the best food in our restaurant is osmanthus cake, this osmanthus cake is still our unique recipe, osmanthus cake is available in limited quantities every day, and people who want to buy it can't buy it, and they have to wait in line." ”
"Your grandmother is really discerning, and you can bring some back to taste."
Xia Yu was anxious, and couldn't help but interject: "Little second brother, this hotel is full of people, how can you remember that our grandmother bought you osmanthus cake?" ”
The little second brother looked up at the pretty girl, and there was a little beauty at that stop.
"The girl is wrong, I don't remember which family you said about the grandma, but a few days ago, a family of grandma came to us, and before leaving, she talked to someone, and after talking for a long time, I just don't know if it's your family."
"Okay, then the second brother tell me, which family is it?" The little second brother scratched his head.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be from Yiwangfu, before Mama left, she said that this osmanthus cake was delicious, and she wanted to take some back to her little grandson."
"That's King Yi's Mansion, the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the subordinates are all nobler than the people outside. So the little ones remembered at the time. Li Huashang took a sip of the wine in front of him, and then asked.
"Then little second brother, do you remember who talked to that Momo at that time, if you can say it, this girl will be rewarded!"
Saying that, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, Brother Xiao Hao looked at the silver and scratched his ears: "The girl said that I laughed, I don't know that girl, and I don't remember it, but I listened to it with my ears, let me think about it......"
The little second brother wanted the silver, and he desperately thought about what the grandmother of Yiwangfu said that day.
"Oh, by the way, she seems to have said what pharmacy to buy medicine or something, is it from Baicaotang or what pharmacy? That girl looked dressed like a maid from some family. ”
"The maid also said that she should go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and by the way, she came to the store to buy some food for their girl, so the two met, and that's probably it, no matter how much, the small ones can't remember."
The second brother said to Li Huasheng, "Okay, I'll reward you, go down." ”
Li Huashang threw the silver and threw it into the hands of the little second brother.
The little second brother dragged Yin Liang away with a smile, "If you have other needs, you must remember to call the little one!" You use it slowly. ”
Ouyang Lanzhi thought about the words of the little second brother.
It must be that Mama Li came to the box of the restaurant that day, and met with Miss Ruoxi, the two walked separately, when Mama Li left, she met someone, the maid who bought medicine chatted with Mama Li, and I don't know what I talked about yet. ”
Ouyang Lanzhi wanted to go to the Baicao Hall they called and find out the maid.
Then Mama Li is not only in contact with Ruoxi alone, but also another person's maid, and this maid is very important.
After a few people ate, Ouyang Lanzhi continued to take Li Huashang and the two maids to Baicaotang.
Along the way, Li Huachan had a lot of doubts and wanted to ask Ouyang Lanzhi, but she knew that now was not the time, Lanzhi had her own ideas, and she just had to support her.
Li Huashang admires Ouyang Lanzhi's character very much, if it was in her time, Ouyang Lanzhi must be a person who grasps both life and career, Li Huashang is very proud of making such a friend.
After a while, the three of them came to Baicaotang.
Ouyang Lanzhi has never been to this place in Baicaotang, but Li Huashang has been here a few times, and he is a little familiar with the little second brother here.
The medicine boy saw Li Huashang enter the door with a strange lady, and greeted him warmly, "Miss Li, what are you going to buy today?" There is a new batch of medicinal herbs in the store, do you see what you need? ”
Li Huashang covered her mouth with a smile, "You kid! This girl is fine, what do you want to do, I didn't come to see some symptoms before, but now it's not all good. ”
The medicine boy smiled, "Miss Li said and laughed, please sit, please sit, please sit!" ”
"It's really strange, it's all Miss Li coming over these days, why haven't I seen another maid from Miss Hua for a long time."
Li Huashang and Ouyang Lanzhi glanced at each other, what does this mean?
Li Huashang asked quietly: "What kind of maid is Miss Huaqi?" How do you say that? Miss Hua's maid also often comes to buy medicine? ”
The medicine boy nodded innocently: "Yes, at first, I didn't know that she was the maid of Yiwangfu, I don't know if Miss Li still remembers coming to grab the medicine before, you just left on the front foot, and the maid sister on the back foot arrived, and she still watched you go away." ”
"At that time, the two of us were talking, and she said that she was the maid of Yiwangfu, and said that you were the showgirl of Yiwangfu, otherwise I wouldn't know that Miss Li had such good craftsmanship, or embroidered Niangniangle."
"When that maid came a few days ago, I didn't know what was going on."
"I saw that she asked her a few words in a trance, and she seemed to tell me that she was going to the restaurant to meet someone, alas, I don't know how she is now, I'm afraid she is not sick."
The medicine boy asked with concern.
Ouyang Lanzhi was shocked when she heard Yao Tong's words, grabbed Li Huasheng's hand, and frowned.
"Huashang, why do I think something is wrong."
Li Huashang don't talk about Ouyang Lanzhi, she herself is still beating in her heart, how can she check and find Hua Zhi's maid, how can she feel wrong?
Ouyang Lanzhi couldn't figure out the mystery here, so the person who met Mama Li at Tianlai Restaurant was the maid of the flower season.
It's just that how can the good people get in?
Ouyang Lanzhi gestured to Li Huasheng with his eyes, Li Huashang nodded faintly, took a few commonly used warm tonic herbs in the pharmacy and left.
On the way, Li Huashang looked at Ouyang Lanzhi, knowing that she was in turmoil, and couldn't help but say something.
"Lanzhi, don't think about it too much, let's go back and see the girl Hua Qian first, see what's going on with the maid next to her, why when we don't know, she went to see that Mama Li, and we deal with Mama Li, she should have received the news, I'm afraid something will happen."
This is not only what Li Huashang is worried about, but also what Ouyang Lanzhi is worried about.
She and Li Huashang have always regarded Hua Qian as good friends, and the three of them have fun together, just like three sisters.
Ouyang Lanzhi didn't believe that Hua Qian's maid would be unfavorable to him, and he would talk about it when he saw someone.
Ouyang Lanzhi took Li Huashang and others back to the palace, but was stopped by the housekeeper before entering the door.
The housekeeper looked respectful in front of Ouyang Lanzhi.
"Is the princess free? During this time, Zhuangzi collected rent, and the old slave had already sorted out the account books, and he needed to ask the princess to look at the housekeeper. ”
The housekeeper has always respected Ouyang Lanzhi, and during Ouyang Lanzhi's house arrest, the housekeeper did not fall into the ground, which made Ouyang Lanzhi look down on the housekeeper.
As for taking this account book to Ouyang Lanzhi, I think it is also because the housekeeper is afraid that Ouyang Lanzhi will hold a grudge, and resents that the housekeeper did not treat this housewife well during his house arrest.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Ouyang Lanzhi said to the housekeeper, "Put these brochures in my house first, I will read them when I have time, the housekeeper doesn't have to worry, you are the old man here, no better than Mama Li, who is an abandoned slave and betrays the master, I can see your hard work, and the prince can also see it." ”
"You're doing a great job." The butler's heart finally relaxed.
Mama Li poisoned Miss Ruoxi and blamed Ouyang Lanzhi, she is not a pity to die, but she is also a slave, and her treatment of Mama Li has indeed been shocked.
He felt that he should do something to show his loyalty to the princess, so that the princess would not hold a grudge against him.
The housekeeper thought for a while, bowed his head and said, "That servant woman is rude to the princess, don't worry about the princess, she has already left, there is no need for this kind of slave to stay in the palace, and she will never be seen again,"
I have to say that this housekeeper is very good at doing things, and the only one is difficult and abused. When Ouyang Lanzhi's skin is solved.
It is no wonder that King Yi can do a steady job among the princes, worthy of being the right hand of the emperor, and there is no incompetent person under his hands.
Ouyang Lanzhi nodded, motioned for the housekeeper to retreat, and then took Li Huashang and the two maids and went directly to the backyard to find Huaqi.
