When the figure left the alley completely, a yellow light lit up at the right corner of the alley.

Cao Brocade and Phi Xing followed.

The alley leads to the street, and at night the shops along the street are closed, and the street is also dark and deserted, with no human figures.

The two followed Zhao Zixu around and around and came to the back door of a house.

Although this house looks defeated, the overall layout is quite imposing, and it stands out compared to the surrounding houses!

Zhao Zixu patted the door, the back door opened suddenly, and a gentle woman's voice came from inside: "Why did the master come now?" Let the concubine wait! ”

Cao Zhijin looked at Pi Xing in surprise: "Zhao Zixu also raised the outer room?"

Pi Xing said with a smile: "The Fang family is not easy to mess with, if Zhao Zixu marries openly, the Fang family will definitely not agree!"

Cao Zhijin still thinks it's incredible! ——In her impression, Zhao Zixu is a bright and upright person, and it is hard to imagine that he will sneak into the outer room of the private meeting!

……

The next day, Cao Zhijin went to Meiyuan, but saw that the master and servant were not there, and the courtyard door was locked.

She waited outside the courtyard for a while, and just as she was about to leave, she saw Zhiyi hurrying back.

"Miss Cao, the second miss went to the second master's weapon refining office, and the slave knew that Miss Cao was going to come over to check the second lady's pulse today, so she specially came over to inform her!"

"She went so soon, I thought she would have to wait at least a day or two, but what if I still have to check her pulse?" Cao Zhijin didn't expect Zhao Xiaomei to be in such a hurry!

At this stage, the prescription of Xiaomei still needs to be slightly adjusted, but how to adjust it depends on the results of today's pulse diagnosis.

In other words, today's pulse must be diagnosed!

Knowing the meaning is difficult: "As soon as the second miss refines the weapon, she is so excited that she forgets everything, and the slave and maid can't resist the second miss!"

Cao Zhijin thought for a while and said, "Why don't you take me to see Xiaomei!"

Zhiyi shook his head and said: "Miss Cao, don't think about it, if it wasn't for the slave and maid who deliberately obstructed it, the weapon refining department is the most confidential place of the Zhao family, except for the Zhao family's bloodline, no one is allowed to enter!" Although the slave maid accompanied the second lady, she couldn't enter at all, so she could only prepare some food for the second lady and the second master outside! ”

"What then? This smiling eyebrow is really sad! Cao Zhijin didn't expect that Zhao Xiaomei, who had always been well-behaved before, was stubborn, and there was no way for people to do it!

"Why is Miss Cao standing outside the courtyard?"

Just when I didn't know what to do, a familiar male voice came from the road.

Cao Zhijin fixed his eyes and saw that it was Zhao Zixu.

"Master Zhao, I'm here to diagnose Xiaomei's pulse, but Xiaomei went to the weapon refining office." Cao Zhijin stated truthfully.

Zhao Zixu said with a straight face: "The smile is too nonsense, I ran to the weapon refining place before my body was well, if something goes wrong, how should I explain it to the second brother!"

Cao Zhijin really wants to complain, she is with your second brother!

What the hell is going on, that an uncle is more like a father than a father!

Seeing Zhiyi lowering his head, Zhao Zixuan slowed down his tone: "I know Xiaomei's temper, no one can do anything about what she decides, it's not your fault!"

He hugged his fist towards Cao Zhijin again and said, "Xiaomei's illness cannot be delayed, in this case, I still bother Miss Cao to go to the weapon refining office!"

"Master Zhao, isn't this weapon refining place the most secret place of the Zhao family? It's not good for me as an outsider to come and go at will! Cao Zhijin looked at him in surprise and asked.

Zhao Zixu sighed: "Rules are dead, people are alive!" My Zhao family and my second brother's generation have undergone several changes, and the heirs are not long, and now the Zhao family only has Xiaomei left, a junior, if something happens to her again, how can I face the ancestors of the Zhao family? ”

"If Miss Cao is not too troublesome, please ask Miss Cao to go to the weapon refining office to diagnose Xiaomei's pulse!"

Cao Zhijin hugged his fists and said: "The head of the Zhao family is serious, please lead the way!"

The weapon refining office is connected to the Zhao family's house, distributed behind the Zhao family's house, and there is only one road to enter, and there are many patrolling guards along the road.

Even if the head of the Zhao family brings outsiders in, they need to be interrogated.

After the interrogation, Cao Zhijin followed Zhao Zixu in, and Zhiyi was left outside.

Zhao Zixu saw Cao Zhijin's curiosity and explained: "Those guards are not ordinary guards, they are all guards carefully cultivated by the ancestors of the Zhao family, and their descendants have only done one thing for generations, and that is to guard the Zhao family's weapon refining office. In a sense, they are the eyes left by the ancestors of the Zhao family, and they have a special status in the Zhao family! ”

Cao Zhijin suddenly, no wonder even he, the head of the Zhao family, had to give up three points!

As soon as she took a few steps, a man rushed up and threw himself into her arms, knocking her backwards a few steps, but fortunately the person who came was thin, otherwise she would have fallen hard!

"Miss Cao!" The person who came raised his head and saw clearly the person he had hit, and his eyes flashed with kindness!

"Xiaomei, what are you doing so fast?" Cao Zhijin held her up and told her to stand up.

"Girls' families, they don't look like girls!" Zhao Zixu is also a lesson, but his voice is not harsh, it is not so much a lesson, but a helpless complaint!

"Uncle, the 'Painting Shadow' that King Chen ordered to do has been refined by my father!" Zhao Xiaomei pulled Zhao Zixu and said excitedly, "Father was about to ask me to inform you!" ”

"How many pieces have you become?" Zhao Zixu was so excited when he heard the news that he forgot about Cao Zhijin next to him.

"Now it's only made into a handlock, but my father said that the materials have been refined, and the following ones are ready!"

"I'll take a look!"

Zhao Zixu rushed in one direction excitedly, which would completely forget about Cao Zhijin.

"Miss Cao, are you here to check my pulse?" Zhao Xiaomei rolled up his sleeves and handed over his wrist.

"Huh? Be! Cao Zhijin came back to her senses and took her pulse.

The adjustment of the prescription was already in order, and she hurriedly said goodbye.

Everyone in the Zhao family was immersed in great joy, and no one noticed her abnormality.

Cao Zhijin ran back to the bamboo courtyard in one go.

"Is my father-in-law still alive?" She snatched the tea from Pi Xing's hand and looked at him condescendingly.

"How do I know?" Phi Xing replied with a nonchalant expression.

Cao Zhijin asked him, "What is special about the torture created by the Zhao family?"

"It's easy to use!" Phi Xing replied.

"I'm asking about the name, what are the characteristics of the name?" Cao Zhijin said angrily.

"This one you asked is very interesting, the names of the Zhao family's torture instruments are all based on who will enjoy this set of torture instruments!" Pi Xing said indifferently, "This is something that the women and children of Xianji City know. ”

"Well, let me ask you something that is not known to women and children. Are you hiding something from me? ”

"Nope."

"You're lying!" Cao Zhijin put the teacup in his hand on the table, "Why did you take the token of King Chen's secret guard to see the Zhao family master that day?" ”
