Chapter 860: Before the Banquet

Carrying the basket and walking the road at the entrance of the school twice, after making sure that the warlocks on the entire street had been caught, Li Niangzi and Li San walked to the house. When she walked home, she saw Zhang Jie's schoolbag on the table in the main hall, and Mrs. Li couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't Zhang Xiaogongzi go to class today?" ”

Although they took Zhang Xie to rest in Jinan Mansion for a while, there were adults and children at home, but they never worried about Zhang Jie's affairs. Zhang Xie has always been very well-behaved, no matter whether he likes to read or not, at least if he does one thing seriously, he can do it well, he has always been a good child in the eyes of everyone.

Good children naturally don't do such things as skipping class, so it's the first time they've encountered such a situation, and they don't know what to do for a while.

"I took sick leave." Zhang Xie walked out of the back room with a book in his hand and said, "Sister Wei sent me a message to let us stay in the house these days and don't care about anything." ”

"We just went to the street at the entrance of the school and walked around, and the warlocks on the whole street were really caught." Mrs. Li talked about what she saw on the road, "And on the way back, I heard them say that Master Wei Tianshi will have a banquet in the mansion tomorrow night, so that the rich families in the city will bring their families and children to attend!" ”

"Sister Wei should be going to do something." Zhang Xie hugged the book in his arms, his eyes black as paint, "But I can't think of it now." ”

"I see, no wonder Zhang Xiaogongzi came back yesterday and brought a lot of books, so he was going to study at home these days." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and they said, how could a good child like Zhang Xiaogongzi skip class for no reason?

Zhang Xie lowered his head and snorted, but Song Er, who had always been sharp-eyed and quick-handed, glanced at the book in his hand and said strangely, "Zhang Xiaogongzi, are you learning Miao Chinese?" ”

Zhang Xie raised his head and looked at him when he heard this: "Do you know Miao Wen?" ”

"It's not an acquaintance." Song Eryan laughed twice and explained, "It's the money bags of a few Miao people who came to us to do business when I was young, and it looks like a ghost drawing charm like those words on your book cover." "Song Er belongs to the thieves in the lower ninth rate, if you want to steal, you will naturally have sharp eyes and quick hands, and you must have a good memory, at least you have to remember the appearance of people, where the money bag is placed, etc., it is not strange to remember these.

It's a pity that Song Er did this just to steal, and he didn't learn anything because of it, and he only saw Miao Wen, but he didn't know it.

"I see." Zhang Xie nodded and looked at the book in his hand, "Recently, I was interested in Miao Wen, so I borrowed the book of Fuxue and came back to take a look." ”

"It's still a good boy, tell me to read, then it's better to kill me!" Song Er grabbed his hair and sighed.

Zhang Xie smiled, turned around and walked into the house with the book.

They have nothing to do here, Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Song went to the kitchen with baskets to cook, Wei Tianshi said that if they stayed at home these days, they would not go out, anyway, they bought enough vegetables to eat.

Li San turned around and closed the door, latching it, completely separating this small world from the turmoil outside.

……

……

Because there is still a drizzle outside, the banquet is set in the house, fortunately, the Jinan Mansion was created with this in mind, and the right half of the house can be pushed open the door, so that one by one around the middle of the lobby direction around a circle, the middle of the venue is vacant, but there is also a bit of banquet atmosphere.

Now that the banquet is about to start, Ye Xiuyuan was smiling outside and talking with the rich and powerful in the city, but several officials from the capital were observing the movements in front of him in a hidden room in the back hall.

"Except for the people in the city who are walking around, the traces of the master you mentioned have not been found until now." Cui Jing said, "The time is urgent, and there is no time to investigate it carefully, but there is nothing wrong with the industrial ledger of these rich and powerful people." ”

"It's a problem." The girl said, "The general ledger is indeed fine, but I randomly smoked a sundries shop that sells cinnabar, talisman paper, incense and other things needed to make the thirteen branches of yin and yang, and there is no sign of selling them these days, but when my people went to buy them, they were told that there was none." ”

"Did they use it themselves?" Wang Xu reacted.

"Not bad." Wei Yaoqing nodded, "What else can you do besides for your own use?" Ordinary people don't need so much to play with cinnabar, and there must be someone behind the owner of those shops who mentioned to them that they wanted these things. ”

Cui Jing thought for a moment: "You mean that these rich people colluded with those people in the rivers and lakes?" ”

"Actually, it can't be said to be collusion. Like these charlatans...... Especially that kind of master, it is too simple to win the trust of one person. It's easy to open some talisman water to alleviate illness, put some ghosts in the house, and then come to the door to catch ghosts or something. These rich people may not know what those people are doing, and this is not Chang'an City, where there is a Yin and Yang Division that can be verified at any time, and they can coax those people to provide them with these things with a casual treatment and a town house. Wei Yaoqing looked at the rich squires who were greeting and talking in front of her, "It's a family of coaxing, and they won't choose ordinary people." Because of this amount, ordinary people can't afford it. So those people must be hiding in the homes of these rich and powerful. I would like to be unreasonable and let people go directly to these people's homes to search, but I am afraid that this will attract public resentment, and I am also afraid that those people will be forced to be in a hurry and take these rich squires under the knife. Once these people are lured and united by those Jianghu warlocks with magic, I am afraid that Lord Ye will not be able to escape this fate. After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and I will never dare to offend these people indiscriminately. ”

Wang Xu shook his head and smiled, and his heart was even more determined: she looks like she is messing around, brutal and willful, but in fact, she has already planned well everywhere behind her, how can such a person really be an unreasonable person? Only those scribes would be stupid enough to think so.

"I see." Cui Jing nodded, he didn't have anything to say about such an arrangement, he just thought about it, and asked her again, "On such an occasion, does Mr. Pei want to show up?" ”

"He doesn't." The girl's eyes flashed slightly, "He wants to catch a small fish first." ”

"When I came, I said that I would listen to your arrangement, and I naturally have no opinion." Wang Xu said on the side, "Then tomorrow's miracle should also be prepared?" "Today, she arranged it like this, I am afraid that something will happen, and the miracles will not be checked when the time comes.

"Rest assured, the miracle must be real." Wei Yaoqing said solemnly, "You can rest assured, even after a hundred years, no one can say that this miracle in Jinan Mansion is fake." ”

Can such a truth be guaranteed? Even if it is a real miracle, if someone wants to do something, it may not be impossible to say that the truth is false, who can guarantee a hundred years? And how can she guarantee a hundred years?

"Your Majesty wants miracles, you want miracles, Lord Ye wants miracles, Jinan Mansion wants miracles, and the people of the world also want miracles." The smile on the girl's face was a little strange, "I'll give you a miracle that you can't question in a hundred years." ”
