"Your drinks."

Zhang Qining put down the drink and turned to leave, but felt a glance from the window towards her. She looked sideways, and there were no guests in the seats.

Retracting her gaze, she said hello to You Shi Niang. "Shi Niang, I'll go out."

You Shi Niang was making calculations, stopped what she was doing and looked up at her, and then looked at the window, her charming eyebrows and eyes were bent, and she smiled: "Do you want me to help?" ”

"No, it's just a little thing."

Although she said this, her brows furrowed slightly, and it seemed that it was a very troublesome little thing. You Shi Niang held her cheeks and thought so, she said: "Qi Ning, remember to go to the east of the city today, this direction is more beneficial to you." ”

Zhang Qining took off his apron and put it aside, and couldn't help but smile, and there was a little less gloomy between his eyebrows. "Is this a fox demon's prophecy? Okay, I remember. ”

"Zhan Suiyu told me that you are a bit of a tendon, let me watch you. He's not here, if something happens to you, it's mine, don't risk yourself. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."

The sun is wilting behind the clouds, the sky is dark, the air is getting wet, and a rain that has been gathering for a long time is about to fall. Because of this, the street vendors have also become sparse, and some people think that there will be no business in this weather, so they take the stalls and leave. On the contrary, the umbrella buyer pushed the cart and diligently stuck to his own territory, opening a few well-made oil-paper umbrellas with great eyes and posing them to attract passers-by.

The city of Suzhou was shrouded in a damp gray-white. Zhang Qining looked at the sky, first walked over to take a look, and when the people behind her got closer, she picked a plain magnolia umbrella and paid to leave.

Holding the umbrella, her eyes moving slightly, she could imagine the tense expressions on their faces even when she turned her back to them. The woman in the pale yellow narrow-sleeved skirt raised her hand and gently pinned the broken hair on her sideburns behind her ears, and she decided to follow Shi Niang's advice and walked towards the east. The people behind him followed suit.

She turned into an alley, and the people behind her suddenly stepped up.

"What should I do?"

"Keep up, here the alley is connected to the alley, and we can't explain it to Miss Di."

They also entered the alley, and at first there was only one road, and they had to go further inside to meet the fork. Zhang Qining, who came first, was gone.

"Brother Zhao, lost it?"

The younger man looked at the other man, only to see the other man habitually smacking his mouth. "Miss, why again..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhang Qining suddenly made a noise, startling the two of them, and looked upwards along the sound. The woman in yellow, who barely combed her hair in a bun and just pulled her black hair back casually, sat on the low roof, holding her face with one hand and looking at them for a long time. The faint smile was scattered before the bottom of the eyes, and the eyes seemed to be looking at you, and dissected you cleanly, and the person who looked at it was very uncomfortable.

How did she get there? The third lady is very experienced in climbing over the wall, and when she saw the bamboo baskets stacked on the side, they seemed to understand.

The slightly older man bowed his hand to her respectfully and said, "Miss, we have been ordered to take you back." ”

The young man didn't know the situation, but before he came out, a senior told him that Brother Zhao had experience, and no matter what happened, just follow him.

Zhang Qining's eyes fell on the young man and said, "Raw face, it's a newcomer." ”

Brother Zhao spoke: "Yes, this year's newcomers have been brought out." ”

"I said, why is it so slow to find it this time. Co-authored me and became the object of their training? ”

"Don't dare."

Zhang Qining stood up and patted her skirt, snorting and noncommittal. Qingyan's eyes looked indifferent, she turned sideways with an umbrella and hugged her arm, the fingers of her right hand tapped her left arm, and said slowly: "I don't want to go back yet." She calmly came down from the low roof and turned her back to them. If you follow it again, you will bear the consequences. ”

The young man didn't understand, this was the first time he participated in the mission to find the young lady, but it was said that this was a compulsory course for the Zhang family's secret agents. The third lady often runs away from home, and it is difficult to find, and she has made a great contribution to improving the level of her own secret agents.

"Brother Zhao, Miss doesn't know martial arts, why did you let it go again if you found it?"

Brother Zhao looked at him: "Didn't anyone tell you before you came out, about what to do after finding Miss?" ”

The young man shook his head, what was that? No one ever told him.

"The most important thing after finding Miss's whereabouts is to hide yourself and not let Miss find us. If it is discovered, whether to go back or not depends on the mood of the young lady, and we don't have to do anything. ”

"Why?" He was puzzled.

"For Miss's safety, and for our safety."

"But Miss can't hold the chicken." Young people are curious, and they have to break the casserole to ask the end.

Brother Zhao said: "Because something happened before. That was the first batch of people who came out to find Miss, and after finding Miss, in order to prevent Miss from escaping, someone gave Miss a soft muscle, and wanted to take people away directly. On the way, after the young lady regained some strength, she was in the food of a group of people... poisoned. ”

"What! Poisoned? "The young man remembered Zhang Qining's harmless and beautiful face, and he couldn't associate her with a poisonous woman with a femme fatale heart at all." That... Aren't those people—"

"Dead? Feel relieved. Brother Zhao said. If you're dead, you'll never see me. After the second young man came, he heard that he had drugged the young lady, so he immediately went to the young lady's room and told us when he came out. The young lady was only thirteen years old, and I wouldn't have believed it if it weren't for the facts. ”

Brother Zhao is one of them, no wonder they say that Brother Zhao has experience.

"It's just looking for a child, everyone is a secret agent, and I'm a little unconvinced. After finding the young lady, I didn't want to bother coaxing the child, someone drugged the others, and opened one eye and closed the other. ”

The young man fell silent. He hesitated and opened his mouth, "Brother Zhao, let's not say that she is the third lady, no matter how you say it, she is also a girl." You drugged people back then, and to be honest, you did this... It's not authentic. Although it will not reach the point of poisoning, I will not give you a good look if I change it. ”

Brother Zhao didn't understand this truth, but the other party was new and didn't understand the third lady's reputation in the Zhang family at all. If he could have said that if he had known, he would have admitted it. But that's not what he's supposed to say, so leave it at that.

Since then, everyone has understood a truth, that is, no one can force Miss San in any way. If you can't hit it with one hit, then don't do anything. It is often two groups of people who act together, and if the third lady finds out about her whereabouts, then she can only change to another group of people to continue to follow, and they leave first. ”

After speaking, Brother Zhao looked behind him. I don't know when a person appeared there, wearing the same clothes as the Zhang family's secret agent.

"Tell the second young man that he has been found and go to the east of the city."

Zhan Sui Yu came to the bank of the Wuqing River in the east of the city, and several raindrops fell on his face, maybe the rain would increase after a while, but he didn't bring an umbrella. If he gets up halfway, he can only be drenched in soup.

This is Wu Qinghe.

He looked around, and caught a glimpse of a girl with an oil-paper umbrella by the willow embankment. Pale yellow dress with a plain umbrella painted with lilac magnolia flowers. The man turned around slowly, and was stunned when he raised his eyes to see Zhan Sui Yu, his gloomy expression gradually dispersed, his eyes were clear, his skin was like condensed fat, and in such a rainy day, she seemed to be shrouded in a layer of hazy brilliance.

He walked towards her, and his heart was as if he had fallen in love at first sight, and in an instant he seemed to understand Zang Jintian's mood.

That first meeting must have been very beautiful, so beautiful that he could not forget it for the rest of his life. The reluctant person was the one who walked towards him, and he was also the one who opened his arms.

"Why are you here?"

The two said in unison.

"Because of something, what about you?" Zhang Qining explained, and then approached and gave him half of the umbrella.

"I'll do it." Zhan Suiyu took the umbrella and held it for her, and the two of them had a tacit understanding in this process, as if they had been together for many years... Ahem, you don't need any words, everything is already a habit.

"Zang Jintian is dead."

"What?"

Zhang Qining never expected that it would be Zang Jintian who died. At this time, Zhan Suiyu naturally couldn't have come to play, "What clues are here?" ”

"I saw a portrait of Zang Jintian's deceased wife, and this is the picture in the painting. What are you standing here looking at so fascinating? ”

"Well, me? It's nothing, it's just that I saw something like a fish jump out of the water, and I didn't see it clearly for a moment, so I watched it for a while. ”

"Fish? Maybe it's raining. ”

Zhang Qining tilted his head and thought for a while, "Maybe, it looks quite big." After speaking, he gestured at him with his hand, which was about three or four inches long.

"Really?" According to the distance of Zhang Qining's station, how big does it take to put it forward?

But the two didn't think too much about it.

"What about you? What can you find here? Zhang Qining raised his eyes and asked, "Is it because I told you what the Huang family hinted at before?" ”

"The Wang family is a little strange, but there are no clues yet, plus what the Huang family said to you before. Hu Sheng is the only entry point now, and Liao Zhutou didn't find it when he went to check, so I came to try my luck. ”

Zhan Sui Yu told Zhang Qining what Liao Zicheng had found before, and Zhang Qining's reaction was the same as Zhan Sui Yu's original.

It can help the Zang family pay off its debts, and at the same time, it can also make the regretful money bank change his mind, and later it can reach the point of cooperating with Tonglai... A lonely and helpless woman, how can she come up with so much money at once? Even Zhang Qining himself would not bring so much money with him when he left home.

The rain gradually became heavier, falling on the umbrella surface, and Zhan Suiyu looked at the stone bridge on the oblique side thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered one thing, that bridge seems to have been funded by Zang Fu."

"Zang Fu?" Zhang Qining looked over, "Is it for a good reputation?" Otherwise, she didn't think the Zang family would do such a thing.

Zhan Suiyu: "It's not the current Zang family, it's the previous head of the family, Zang Bocheng, Zang Shuping's brother, and Zang Jintian's uncle." I heard that the bridge capsized a lot of boats before it was built, and the things on the boat fell and were not salvaged, and I don't know how much the bottom of the river sank. Zang Bocheng is a righteous and squandering money, and he also took the initiative to raise funds to build this bridge. ”

"That being the case, why did the position of the head of the family fall to Uncle Zang Ping's head again, is there something wrong?" Zhang Qining asked.

"Zang Bocheng died of illness."

What the? Death again?

Zhan Suiyu: "To be precise, I didn't seek medical treatment in time and dragged me to death." ”

"How so? The Zang family can't even afford a doctor? ”

Zhan Suiyu shook his head: "Zang Bocheng is righteous and squanders money, even if he has no bad habits, the Zang family's money can't be kept in his hands." ”

"He gave all the money to someone else?" Seeing Zhan Suiyu nodded, Zhang Qining couldn't believe it, is there really such a person in this world? "Is he addicted to doing good deeds? I can't understand how much I did and ended up like that. ”

As if he had become accustomed to Zhang Qining's different thinking mode from ordinary people, Zhan Sui Yu said: "In the eyes of outsiders, he is a good person, but such a person is at home, and the burden and pressure are too heavy for others. ”

Zhang Qining tasted his words, and finally guessed: "What do you mean... Zang Shuping's relationship with him is not good. Could it be that Zang Shuping watched his brother die of illness? Or maybe he's—"

"I don't know. What do you think about all day long, isn't it good for the girl's family to think about more beautiful things? He rubbed the top of her head, Zhang Qining was suddenly stunned, and the whole person froze in place.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qining took two steps back and stared straight at him, no, behind him to be exact.

Someone tapped his shoulder, and Zhan Suiyu turned around to see a young man standing in front of him with an umbrella. The black hair is half a bundle, the hosta is oblique, the brilliance is restrained, the corners of the mouth are hooked with a trace of elegant smile, and the indifferent eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Zhang Qining.

"This son—" Furui's deep eyes looked at him, "can you take the claws off my sister?" ”

"Sister?" Zhan Suiyu looked at Zhang Qining, only to see the other party raising his eyes and looking at the man quietly, and the next second a smile with a high degree of similarity immediately appeared on his face, and his hands folded in front of him and bowed slightly.

The man lowered his eyes to her, and heard her reluctantly shout, "... Second brother. ”
