Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Mystery of Tea
"Big brother, do you remember the tea in this cup, where did it come from?" Zhuo Ran stared at the tea leaves in the cup, which had been soaked in warm water and was extremely round.
Zhuo Ran's series of questions were a bit out of bounds, which made Wang Ran very puzzled.
"What? Isn't this Yang Yuan, the owner of the tea house, sent to my house on the day of the New Year? ”
Wang Ran walked up to Zhuo Ran, took the teacup and smelled it. "What, is there something wrong with this tea? I specially ordered these maidservants to bring it, this tea is good, just to entertain Lord Zuo. ”
"Then big brother, can you remember the situation when Wang Ran delivered tea that day?" When Zhuo Ran asked, he was still thinking about the question with his head down.
"This kind of thing, how can I remember it after so long?" Wang Ran smiled and put the teacup down.
Zuo Qingfeng was also puzzled, and asked, "Brother Zhuo Ran, why do you suddenly care about this tea?" ”
Zhuo Ran looked at the tea cup that Wang Ran put down, "Brother Qingfeng, you may not know that Yang Yuan, who delivered tea, is the Boss Yang who went to Huancun to go to business." ”
These words instantly woke up Zuo Qingfeng, "Are you looking for him to commit a crime?" ”
Zhuo Ran didn't answer, this Yang Yuan was not familiar with him, and he usually didn't go to his Wang family's mansion, except for the Spring Festival, the chamber of commerce would give some gifts politely.
Since Yang Yuan has a certain suspicion, in line with the principle of rigor, it is also necessary to rule it out.
"Yes, big brother, think about it."
Wang Ran looked at Zhuo Ran and scratched his head, recalling this kind of trivial thing that he usually doesn't care about, it is actually very painful.
"My father and my second brother and I were in the hall that day to meet the guests. I remember that this Yang Yuan came early. When I entered the house, I was carrying a small box in my hand, which was this tea leaf. ”
Everyone looked at Wang Ran, waiting for his next step.
"Oh! By the way, I remembered, he said that after the beginning of spring, there should be a great happy event, to decorate the house, build a larger inner courtyard out. Then he asked me if I could visit the house for reference. ”
Zhuo Ran frowned, "Happy event? What's the happy event? ”
"How do I know, but Yang Yuan is almost thirty years old, and he has no heirs, so he has to build a new house, I'm afraid that her wife will finally be happy!"
"When he visited our palace that day, the eldest brother was accompanied by you?"
Wang Ran shook his head, "There are more and more guests, where do I have the time to take him to visit what courtyard?" I asked Zhang Danzi to take him. ”
Hearing the name Zhang Danzi, Zhuo Ran frowned. He is no stranger to this person, Zhang Danzi is the person who can fight the most among Zhuo Ran's doglegs, so he is quite appreciated by Zhuo Ran.
"Where's Zhang Danzi? Call him to me. Zhuo Ran instructed the maid on the side, and the maid went out after receiving the order.
Hearing that Zhuo Ran wanted to see Zhang Danzi, Wang Ran couldn't help frowning. Zhuo Ran's current identity as a prisoner, in Wang Ran's eyes, was harmed by those unscrupulous family members, so he also deliberately transferred Zhang Danzi to the stable, just to prevent Zhuo Ran from contacting him again.
And just then, an officer and soldier walked into the hall.
"Lord Qiqi, about Su Qian's rumors, after a day of searching, I already have a bit of an eyebrow."
When Zhuo Ran heard it, his heart jumped, and the most critical part came.
"Say it quickly." Zhuo Ran took the first step to say this, obviously a little overstepping, and skipped Zuo Qingfeng.
The officer and soldier looked at Zhuo Ran, and then at Zuo Qingfeng, a little embarrassed. Zuo Qingfeng didn't care about this, "Say it quickly!" ”
"Yes, after several teams of people went their separate ways and inquired around, I learned that the place where this rumor first arose was the teahouses in Los Angeles County.
Some of the storytellers in these teahouses were passed on by them. ”
After listening to the reports of the officers and soldiers, Zhuo Ran and Zuo Qingfeng couldn't help but be shocked again.
"What kind of evil is this, and how does it have anything to do with tea?"
But at this moment, the maidservant girl returned, followed by a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked fellow, probing his head to observe the situation in the hall.
"Third Young Master, I heard that you are looking for me, is there something wrong?"
As soon as Zhang Danzi entered the hall, Zhuo Ran recognized him, "This soldier brother has worked hard, and I hope to continue to dig deeper to see who is behind these storytellers and gives them something to talk about." ”
After Zhuo Ran invited the officers and soldiers out, he looked at Zhang Danzi. Lingxi on the side was a little surprised, looked at Zuo Qingfeng, and smiled with his mouth covered.
Zuo Qingfeng was ignored by Zhuo Ran, and he was helpless, but Zhuo Ran was really better than him, even if he was personally praised by His Majesty, the youngest Shaoqing in Dali Temple could not help but admit this fact.
"Yes, great..., Prince Wang." The officers and soldiers were a little smooth, and they almost shouted Lord Zhuoran.
"Danzi, I came to you today because I have something to ask you." Zhuo Ran stared at Zhang Danzi's eyes, this person's appearance was a little treacherous, which made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't know why Wang Zhuoran in this world had a special impression of him.
"Young master, you and me, who is with whom, if you have something to ask the villain, you can just say it." Zhang Danzi's expression became flattering.
"I'll give you ten taels of silver, you give me a careful recollection, in the New Year, where did you lead that Yang Yuan?"
As soon as Zhang Danzi heard this, his eyes flashed out. He worked in the Wang family for a year, and he only had more than ten taels of silver, but now he just replied that there were ten taels, which made him smile suddenly.
"Yes, yes, small good memories, good memories." After saying that, Zhang Danzi's eyes became hollow, as if he was really thinking about something.
"Young master, that day, I was ordered by the eldest prince to take Yang Yuan to walk around the palace, and then there was nothing?"
Zhuo Ran raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhang Danzi's brief statement. "Just a quick walk? Have you ever been in someone's yard or house? ”
"No, no, these are the private places of the Wang family, how can I bring an outsider in?"
When Zhang Danzi said this, his eyes drifted to the west, but he didn't look at Zhuo Ran. Zhuo Ran didn't even have to think about it, this egg must be hiding something else.
"I'll add another ten taels of silver, you give me a good thought, it's really just a stroll?"
At this moment, the maidservant had already taken out the white silver ingot and put it in Zhuo Ran's hand.
When Zhang Danzi heard this, he looked at the silver that had been held in Zhuo Ran's hand and was playing, and he was immediately so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, as if he really couldn't remember clearly.
Zhuo Ran was not in a hurry, except for waiting for the spies' information and the trip to Sufu when he was with the son, there was nothing else to do.
But he didn't let Zhuo Ran wait too long, this egg just couldn't withstand the temptation of silver, "Uh..., then Yang Yuan also asked something about the third young master, saying that he had heard that the third young master's courtyard is an elegant courtyard with rockeries and water." ”
"So you took him with you?"
