When is the time for retribution?
"Teahouse...... Why did I forget to ask where the teahouse is? When Chu Huai turned to the gate of the Flower Valley Medical Hall for the second time, he finally realized that he had been in the imperial city for so long, but he could still understand the imperial city thoroughly, why did the imperial city have to be built so big? Chu Huai is very depressed, I really can't find it!
"Would you like some fruit, young man? I just picked it up from the mountains today, and it's very fresh. ”
An old voice sounded from Chu Huai's side, and when he turned his head, it turned out that he was standing in front of an old woman's fruit stand, who was sitting on a small bench, holding a tomato, and smiling kindly at Chu Huai.
"No......" Chu Huai subconsciously wanted to say no, but when the words came to his mouth, he turned around, "No, I mean bring me one, I happen to be a little thirsty." ”
"Come, here you go, you look at this fresh appearance, it must be well hydrated, you can eat it with confidence."
"Thank you." Chu Huai took the tomatoes, put them in his mouth and took a bite, and the sweet juice instantly exploded on the tip of his tongue, "It's really delicious." But old man, do you know how to get to the teahouse? ”
"Young man, you're going to the teahouse, huh? Are you from outside the city? ”
"yes, yes."
"Then you've already walked by, didn't you notice that you had walked past the teahouse when you came over?" The old woman pointed to the road Chu Huai had walked when she came, and she spoke very slowly, but Chu Huai still waited patiently for her to finish.
"This ...... I really haven't seen it. ”
"You go back further, over here, you have to take a closer look."
"Alright then, thank you." Chu Huai took a few steps, then turned around and said again, "The fruit is really delicious!" ”
"It's delicious, it's delicious......" The old woman smiled and looked at Chu Huai's back as she walked away, and a teardrop slipped down the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, "If my son is still here, he should have grown into such a handsome appearance, right?" ”
......
Chu Huai walked back and forth on this road several times, and finally found the big word "tea" hanging on the crossbar in front of the gate before being reported to the official as a suspicious person by the vendors on both sides of the street.
"Guest, is it alone? Want a private room or a lobby? As soon as he stepped into the teahouse, a shopkeeper with a smile on his face squeezed past a few people from the rivers and lakes who were crowded together and didn't know what to say, and appeared in front of Chu Huai.
"Ya...... Hall, give me a corner spot. "I wanted to sit in a private room, but I thought I had come here to hear some useful news. Although they could be heard clearly in the private room, Chu Huai felt that he could better blend in with them in the hall.
"Great! One in the hall, please come here as a guest officer. ”
Chu Huai caught a glimpse of his momentary disdain at the moment when the shopkeeper turned around, as well as the broken sentence in his mouth: "Hey, there is a poor sour ghost again, and I thought I could have a rich son." ”
He felt that the corners of his eyes jumped, he had to endure, he had to endure, this was in the imperial city, and he couldn't do it.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chu Huai calmed himself down, he pretended not to hear, and followed the shopkeeper into the teahouse.
"Open a pot for me." Chu Huai frowned, looking at the table in front of him that didn't look very clean, he was a little reluctant to sit down, he knew that he was going to have a private room!
"Okay, a pot of dragon wells." The shopkeeper took out a pen, put it in his mouth, and took out a small book that was a little tattered, and wrote something on it.
After Xiao Er walked away from the store, Chu Huai calmed down and began to distinguish the surrounding sounds.
"Ahem." In the open space surrounded by the crowd, a middle-aged man in a green coat slowly walked up, flicking the gown and opening the fan, which is his standard movement, this is the most popular storyteller in this imperial city.
"The last book said that the life after the wedding between the emperor and Miss Wen Lan was harmonious, and even the lives of the people in our imperial city were smooth and getting better and better......"
Chu Huai propped his head, poured himself a cup of tea that was still smoking, and took a sip, it seems that the tea from Master Shu is better!
The storyteller on the stage began to talk about all kinds of interesting things on the rivers and lakes, and only mentioned the matter of the palace a long time ago, and then did not go any further. What bandit leader Wang Erhu married a few more wives, what little junior brother of Folding Sword Villa actually sprained his waist when he was practicing, and he had to be helped to get out of bed, etc., these are all things that Chu Huai is not interested in.
"I can't hear what I want to hear in the teahouse......" Chu Huai drank a few cups of hot tea, but still didn't hear anyone mention anything about the palace, "How can these people listen to such boring things with such relish?" ”
Just as he was about to throw down a few pennies and get up, a slight voice came into his ears:
"Hey, have you heard? The new queen seems to be very seriously ill and has been bedridden, and the whole palace has been in chaos. ”
"Where did you hear that?"
"My uncle is the imperial doctor in the palace, and this is what I overheard my uncle and my father talking about that day."
"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, if you hear it, you will be killed!"
"It's true, even my uncle can't cure the disease, it must be a very serious disease, and the queen mother is still pregnant with dragon seeds in her belly!"
"Then why hasn't there been any news from the palace?"
"You are stupid, the emperor has just gotten married, and the queen is sick, so you can't let the entire imperial city fall into panic? In addition, the whereabouts of the Flower God Doctor of the Flower Valley Medical Center are also unknown now, how can this kind of thing be released to let us know? ”
The corners of Chu Huai's mouth hooked up a smile, this is what I want to hear.
Listening to the direction from which the voice came from, it seemed to be coming from the room above his head, and the conversation between the two was obviously lowered, but it was still heard by Chu Huai.
He threw a few pennies on the table and ran to the private room leading to the second floor.
"Huh? Sir! It's not the place you can go! The voice of the shopkeeper came from behind Chu Huai.
"I'm looking for someone."
Then Chu Huai ignored the shouting of the shopkeeper behind him, and walked straight towards the private room at the end of the corridor.
The door was locked, which made Chu Huai a little upset, he directly raised his foot, kicked the door open, and met the frightened expressions of the two young people inside.
The teacup in his hand fell to the ground at the same time, and in the momentary silence, there was a crisp sound.
One of the men in green reacted, and he elbowed the man in green across from him, "Look, what am I talking about? Isn't the head killer coming? ”
