Aoeda tremblingly walked behind Ritsukogawa and found that he was neatly dressed, so he mustered up the courage to look at the man who was pressed on the table.

Why is there a knife on his neck?!

And holding that knife is a pair of beautiful hands.

Lu Zichuan's eyes were dark, staring at the man: "When the law family army entered Tibet, there was a guide who survived and returned to the Zhou Kingdom, what is that person's surname?" Where is it now? ”

The man said weakly: "Uncle! I don't know! At that time, I was just a follower of the Zizhou magnates! Where do you know about this kind of thing? ”

Ritsukogawa's hand strained, and blood gushed out from the tip of the knife.

The man wanted to shout for help, and thought that this small study was far away from the banquet, and it was estimated that he was dead before anyone could hear it, so he had to say, "Uncle, wait!" I'll think again! Think again! ”

glanced at Ritsu Zichuan a few times: "It is said that Mrs. Lu is a beauty, and Your Excellency thinks that she is the son of General Lu who is exiled?" ”

"Less nonsense, say."

There was a click, the sound of the man's wrist breaking.

The screams were covered by Ritsu Zichuan in time and did not come out.

Aoeda turned her face away, not wanting to look at it again.

After clicking a few times, the man begged for mercy, and finally had the strength to loosen his mouth and said: "I only know that it is a person surnamed Mei, and it is said that it is the leader of a small herding team, and this herding team is grazing sheep on a Ketuo Mountain, and I really don't know anything else!" ”

Koto Mountain? The name is familiar!

There was another click, and the room fell silent.

"Aoeda, why are you here?"

"I ...... I came with that Yang Tuanlian's favorite concubine to sell wine! You have to open up local connections. Is that guy okay? ”

"It's okay, we'll talk about it in the evening. I'm done in Zizhou, and I won't leave early or return late. I haven't cooked in a while, do you blame me? ”

Big brother, if you have a knife in your hand, don't talk about cooking anymore!

"No, no! Brother Su and I ate at the night market every day and had a great time. ”

"That's good, let's go back to the banquet first, so that no one has doubts. You follow me from afar. ”

He opened the door and walked out, and Qingzhi came out, closed the door, and followed him from a distance, never looking at the man again.

She thought the man was dead.

After walking back to the screen, Liu Yiyi was gone, Qingzhi inquired all the way back to the women's table, Liu Yiyi saw her and said happily: "Are you lost again?" I'll let Cui find you! ”

Seeing Qingzhi's pale face, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, maybe it's meat."

"Haha, listen to it a few more times and get used to it! What is this! I've heard more meat before, and I'll tell you about it later! ”

"Okay."

finally waited for the end of the banquet, and Liu Yiyi went to the old lady and Mrs. to brush a wave of favorability, and then came out.

The old lady and the lady each gave Qingzhi a piece of cloth, and the young women present had various rewards, so Qingzhi did not shirk and thanked him.

When I got home, sure enough, Ritsukogawa was already at home, and was helping the helpers to move the brewed wine to the storage room, and when I saw Qingzhi coming, I smiled at her, looking very innocent.

Ritsu Zichuan, you are a person with a knife in your hand, don't pretend to be pure and innocent anymore.

When the wine was stored and the helpers dispersed, Su Da returned to the room, and Song and Lu talked in the kitchen.

"What do you mean when you say that everything in Zizhou City is done?"

"I came here to inquire about the guide back then, the law family army has no whereabouts, what should that guide know."

Then you were embarrassed to say that it was to open the company's Zizhou market?!

“…… What about the brewery? ”

"Let's do it!"

That's pretty much it! Qingzhi was in a better mood and asked, "By the way, I am very familiar with this Ketuo Mountain, I don't know where it is?" ”

"Just on the border of Zhou and Fan, not far from Lishan, mutton is very famous, Qingzhi you have eaten before."

Well? I don't remember.

"Then you're going to go up to Koto Mountain, right?"

"I want to go back to Lishan first, and then make a decision after asking the informant about the news of the herdsmen on Ketuo Mountain, because the herdsmen live a relatively closed life, and outsiders may be suspicious if they go rashly."

"That's right! After all, this guide holds the key to your family's secrets, so be careful! ”

Qingzhi felt that he didn't seem to have anything to help, so he didn't ask more, but said, "You go back, it's okay to bring a message to my mother and let her come to Zizhou." ”

"What is Aunt Chen doing?"

Qingzhi was surprised: "Come and accompany me!" ”

"You and I go back to Lishan."

“！！ I'm not going back! Finally cultivated some local connections! The winery can't live without me! ”

"Su Da is enough here, anyway, there are no customers every day."

...... "Do you think business is cold?"

"Besides, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Aunt Chen and Qingdou must miss you very much, go back to Lishan for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival! Qingzhi was in a melancholy, and Ritsu Zichuan said with a smile: "There is a kind of fire meat mooncake in Zizhou City, which is the most delicious, Qingdou must like it, it has begun to be sold, I will tell you the address, you can buy it tomorrow." ”

He apologized again: "I wanted to accompany you to buy it, but it's better to stay here for the time being." Outsiders only think that I am a traveling merchant who transports Shu brocade to sell, and I have already told people that I will leave Zizhou in a few days. ”

Did you say it to the girl in Rishun-in? Let them/them not think about him?

Qingzhi didn't realize that he was successfully distracted by moon cakes and was fooled, just thinking that it would be good to go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the business in Zizhou was indeed not good, so he couldn't use so many people.

The next day, she went to buy fire meat mooncakes, bought a lot of Zizhou specialties to take back to give away, and went to Yang's house in person to say goodbye to Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi heard that Qingzhi was going back to Lishan for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" When to leave? ”

"Tomorrow, the carriage will be hired."

"Come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"I guess it's still in the brewery! I'll be back as soon as I can expand my business. ”

Liu Yiyi had a clear expression and said, "Also, you love money so much." ”

The two talked about it again, and Liu Yiyi told Qingzhi about a gang member in the Zhizhou Mansion who fought with people yesterday and died in the small study.

Qingzhi asked a few words, and learned that no one suspected that it was a guest who came to visit, so he was relieved and reluctantly said goodbye to Liu Yiyi.

Back in Lishan, all kinds of excitement not to mention, the two pieces of cloth on the Zhizhou Mansion were taken by the ladies to come to the door to pay respects, and Qingzhi also talked about the birthday banquet of Zhizhou, of course, there was no mention of the meat talk.

The eldest lady asked about what he had seen and heard in Zizhou, and he only said that he was selling loose wine outside every day, and he didn't see anything new in the restaurant.

The eldest ladies are even more distressed: what an honest child!

After resting at home for two days, Qingzhi and Ritsu Zichuan went back to the winery in Lishan to help, and Dong Zhan was also there that day.

Qingzhi told Dong Zhan about the experience of selling pine liquor, and said: "I feel that the market in Zizhou is not as easy to open as in Lishan, and it is very difficult for our new products to be recognized and trusted, and I don't know how to make a name for ourselves." I'll go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival and think of more ways. ”
