Chapter 31: The Black Cauldron
"Zhiruo, I'm rested, do you want to go out with me?" Li Xiaoye cleaned up his mood and walked to the door of Zhou Zhiruo's room and asked.
"Okay, Brother Xiaoye, people have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go, let's go. As soon as Zhou Zhiruo heard Li Xiaoye's voice, she hurriedly walked out of the house, smiled sweetly at Li Xiaoye, and then reached out to hold Li Xiaoye's arm.
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo sticking to herself so much, Li Xiaoye still felt a little proud in her heart, after all, what a face-saving thing it is to let the future heroine, a big beauty, stick to herself every day. In real life, he didn't enjoy the tenderness of a girl, but he enjoyed it when he came to the world of Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
"Let's go, Zhiruo. By the way, have you ordered everything I told you? ”
"Don't worry, Brother Xiaoye, you have to believe in my ability to do things. Let's go, let's go out and watch the show. Hehe, when I think of Zhao Min's little girl being played by us, I'm so happy, let's go. "Zhiruo, this girl, is also a child, and she laughs at others for being a little girl. Li Xiaoye smiled helplessly, and suddenly thought in his heart: These two girls Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo will not be born with each other, I remember that when I watched TV, they were not used to each other. Could it be that one of them is a chicken and the other is a dog, and the legendary chicken dog is restless? Haha, it would be so much fun if it were true.
Zhao Min walked alone on the crowded street, a little absent-minded. I was still thinking about how to investigate the real reason for the disappearance of the soldier. At this moment, I suddenly heard a few small people next to me discussing a new dish that has been too delicious recently-called flower chicken. Wrap the whole chicken in tin foil and marinate it in clay and roast it slowly over low heat, so that the heat can slowly penetrate through the soil and evenly penetrate into the whole chicken wrapped in tin foil. The taste is simply unique in the world.
"This little brother, I just heard you discuss what is the new flower chicken, what's going on?" Zhao Min patted the little guy on the shoulder and asked.
"Hey, brother, you're from out of town, we have a local restaurant in Hangzhou, it's so delicious, and the food inside is also very delicious. Just like the name of the restaurant, it is really delicious. Recently, their family has a new dish called Hua Chicken, which has a novel method and a unique taste. I heard that you have to make a reservation three days in advance. ”
What the little guy said was drooling, and Zhao Min was disgusted when he saw it.
"That's right, thank you guy." Is a meal that is too good really that good? Do you want to try it yourself? Let's give it a try, I've been investigating so hard lately, and I should treat myself well. After making up his mind, Zhao Min asked again: "By the way, little brother, how do you go if it's too delicious?" ”
"Just one mile ahead and then turn left."
"Thank you, little brother." Zhao Min hugged his fists to show his gratitude.
"Brother is polite, rely on your parents at home, and rely on friends when you go out." The little brother waved his sleeves and signaled that he was not welcome.
Zhao Min turned around and walked in the direction of being too delicious, still feeling in his heart that the Han people are really hospitable and polite. But what she didn't see was that after Zhao Min turned around, a strange smile appeared on the corners of those little guys' mouths: "The task is complete." ”
Walking into the delicious food, I found that the business of this restaurant is really booming, even if it has passed the meal, it is still full. "Little second brother, find me a good private room, and then bring me all the special wine and food you have here." Immediately, the wealthy took out a large ingot of silver and threw it to Xiao Er, "The excess will be rewarded to you." ”
"Okay, please come inside." Xiao Er smiled after receiving the silver, it was enough to ask for at most half of the silver before the meal, and today I was really lucky, I met a bold guest officer. A reward is worth half a month's salary.
Sitting in the private room upstairs, it didn't take long for the little second brother to bring up all kinds of special dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, color, flavor and flavor. Zhao Min who watched it had a great appetite. After the little second brother went out, Zhao Min no longer cared about his image, and directly began to eat and drink. Not to mention that these special dishes are all that I have never eaten in most of the capital, but these dishes are really delicious, so delicious that I want to buy the whole restaurant and let the chef cook for me every day.
Hey, it's a pity that this is unrealistic, the boss of this restaurant is so popular that the boss will definitely not sell it, and a person as upright as himself will not use means to take advantage of it. It's better to wait until the investigation is over, go to meet the owner of the restaurant and ask him to open a branch in Dadu, so that he can eat delicious meals every day? I'm so smart!
After the time of half a pillar of incense passed, Zhao Min patted his stomach, leaned back on the chair with satisfaction, and burped. I thought that today was really the most comfortable day in Hangzhou, and the food was so refreshing and happy. Just as Zhao Min was about to rest for a while and return home, he suddenly heard a burst of conversation from the private room next door, vaguely as if he had heard some words such as Mingjiao and the imperial court. Zhao Min immediately became alert, walked to the wall gently, put his ear against the wall, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation in the box next door.
One of the women spoke: "Senior brother, we have killed a lot of court dog thieves recently, although they are disguised as missing, but the paper can't contain the fire sooner or later, and sooner or later someone will find out." Senior Brother Li, do you say that the imperial court will send someone to investigate? ”
"Senior sister, don't worry. The imperial court is now infighting, where can there be any effort to deal with such a big disappearance. And those corpses were all sunk to the bottom of West Lake. Who knows we did it? Besides, even if the imperial court really sends someone to investigate, no matter how much we check, we can't find our head, hehe, senior sister, you can rest assured. We martial arts students should be chivalrous and righteous, and those Yuan people wantonly oppressed us Han people, what happened to killing a few of them? The man's voice seemed more confident, as if he didn't take it to heart.
The woman seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted impatiently by the man. "Okay, junior sister, don't worry, it'll be fine, let's go." When he was about to go out, the man 'inadvertently' dropped a wooden plaque from his pocket, only to see the words 'Li Xiaoye' engraved on it.
After the movement next door disappeared, Zhao Min walked out of his private room, tiptoed to the door of the private room next door, and gently pushed open the door of the private room next door, looking for some clues. Zhao Min was already sure in his heart at this moment that the disappearance of many soldiers in the imperial court this time was absolutely inseparable from these two men and a woman. It's just a pity that there is no evidence to prove their identity now. Zhao Min searched the house carefully and found no evidence.
Alas, if I knew earlier, I would have brought Master Ku and them, and I could have caught those two people and asked them for their identities. Now it can only be established that the disappearance of the soldier was man-made...... Forget it, after going back, you can let people go to the bottom of the lake to find the body of the missing soldier, which can be regarded as a slight gain. It seems that this meal was not in vain today.
Just as Zhao Min was about to walk out of the private room, he suddenly felt as if something was on the soles of his feet. So Zhao Min lowered his body and picked up this thing. This wooden sign is very delicate, could it be that the man and the woman just dropped it? There was a flame painted on it, and when I turned to the other side of the wooden card, I saw that there were three words clearly engraved on it, 'Li Xiaoye'. Li Xiaoye is that man's name, it's such an ordinary name, it has no characteristics at all.
"Senior sister, I can't seem to find my identity nameplate, could it be that it fell into the private room just now?"
"Maybe, senior brother, let's go in and find it together."
There was a sudden sound of talking outside the door, and Zhao Min was shocked in his heart: Oh no, it must be that man and woman who came back to find this wooden card. What to do? Hide, where can you hide? Zhao Min quickly looked around, by the way, under the table. At this time, Zhao Min found that the delicious dining experience was really useful, and the solid wood table was covered with a layer of blue and white cloth, which was just enough to block the scene under the table.
As soon as Zhao Min got under the table, the door to the private room opened. Two people, a man and a woman, walked in from the outside, it was Li Xiaoye and Zhou Zhiruo.
