Chapter 11 Gambling

Zhang Yueniang took hibiscus swallow vegetables, lotus pod tofu, and sea bass porridge from the plate and put them on the table, Tang Qianyi sat down, and Li Jinyu hurriedly entered the door.

"I heard that the shop is running out of water today? But what's not? ”

Li Jinyu suddenly appeared, Tang Qianyi didn't react yet, she was stunned there, and only reacted after a while, she didn't answer Li Jinyu, but asked, "General, why are you back?" ”

Li Jinyu saw that she was sitting here well, thinking that she should be fine, so she was relieved, and spoke much softer: "I heard that your shop is running water, so I will come and take a look." It's fine. ”

As he spoke, he sat at the table, and Tang Qianyi hurriedly motioned for Liuyun to add a pair of chopsticks.

Liuyun brought the dishes and chopsticks, Tang Qianyi took them and put them in front of Li Jinyu, and asked, "Has the general eaten it?" ”

The two sat quietly opposite each other, silently eating the food on the table.

Tang Qianyi ate and ate, her throat gradually choked, and tears fell into the rice bowl. Li Jinyu noticed her strange appearance and hurriedly asked, "But the food doesn't fit?" Or is there something uncomfortable? Then he turned and called Morning Star: "Morning Star, go and call the doctor." ”

Tang Qianyi hurriedly wiped her tears and stopped Morning Star: "Morning Star, I'm fine." Then he said, "General, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't had anyone to eat with me for a long time." In the past, my eldest sister and I ate at the same table like this. ”

Li Jinyu's heart felt like someone had been pinched, and she was a little sore. He has always felt that he owes her, and the Tang family is ruined, and he also has a responsibility. He wanted to open his mouth to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, and hung in the air with the bowl in his hand.

"General, today I heard that the eldest sister is happy, but is it true?" Although Tang Qianyi wiped away her tears, her eyes were still full of tears, and looking at Li Jinyu like this made him a little distracted.

"Hmm." He replied with a simple word.

"It would be nice if the eldest sister was by my side." Tang Qianyi muttered, and lowered his head to pull the food in the bowl.

After dinner, Li Jinyu went back to the study and called Ye Yan.

"Night, take a good look into today's events."

"Miss Tang has already told me to check."

"What can be found?"

"Later, I went to the warehouse again, and it was supposed to be a firecracker that children play with, but the gunpowder in it was replaced with toner."

"What about the man?"

"I've asked all around, but only a few children are playing in the back of the storeroom."

"Keep looking."

It was late at night, Li Jinyu lay on the bed but couldn't sleep. It was raining outside, and the rain was getting heavier, and the rain from the eaves was dripping and ticking. The rain in the imperial city always didn't last long, and after a few ticks, the rain stopped. Li Jinyu put on her outer robe, walked to a small pavilion in the courtyard, and looked in the direction of Tang Qianyi's residence, except for a few lanterns on the porch, the rest of the place was pitch black.

He remembered the night in Su Yang again, the red in his eyes was the red of Xitang, and it was also the red of blood. She hid behind Master Tang, her face turned white with fright, and her eyes were the same as today's tears, which made people feel pitiful. No, at that time, she didn't cry. Busy chasing Scarlett, he only looked at her as if he were hastily and rode away.

On the night when it had just rained, the coolness invaded, Li Jinyu tightened her robe and walked into the house. He still didn't dare to tell Tang Qianyi, Si Jiayi's plan, he had always been a cold sidestander.

There was some light on the horizon, and the twilight woke up Li Jinyu.

"General, the prime minister's side." Twilight said a few words, and Li Jinyu understood what he meant. After putting on his robes, he rode with Twilight to the outskirts of the city.

After Tang Qianyi finished washing, Zhang's mother said back and forth: "The general has returned to the school, the girl will eat first." ”

"Hmm."

Ye Yan also talked back and forth early in the morning, and told Tang Qianyi the original words he had said to Li Jinyu yesterday.

"You ask those children carefully today, and send some people to pay more attention to the Chen Mansion."

Since Kong Jingwen was executed, Kong Yuan has restrained a lot in the court, but the more this happens, the more Li Jinyu feels that he will not give up. All along, he sent people to keep an eye on Kong Yuan's actions, and as expected, he was calm on the surface, but in fact there were dark waves. Kong Yuan secretly assembled a large army and practiced in an abandoned mine on the outskirts of the city.

However, Li Jinyu could only observe secretly, and did not dare to startle the snake, according to Kong Yuan's personality, although ambitious, but timid and cautious, only one Kong Jingwen's death, he would not dare to do so, there must be someone behind it.

Today, the twilight came to report that Kong Yuan was meeting with the people of the Northern Cangguo on the outskirts of the city, and it seemed that he was about to start acting.

In order not to let Kong Yuan find out, he only observed in the dark with the two of them, Kong Yuan and the two talked for a long time, and when the rooster crowed, he saw the Beicang people coming out of the hut, but Kong Yuan was nowhere to be seen. He took no one with him, and rode his horse south. Li Jinyu and Dusk Hao hurriedly caught up, and the two flanked, but before the Beicang people could react, they were captured alive by Li Jinyu.

"Twilight, send him to the school grounds, and interrogate him properly."

Ye Yan found the arsonist, so he informed Tang Qianyi of the news. Tang Qianyi instructed: "Send someone to watch it, it will be useful in the future." Is there any news from the people sent to the Chen Mansion? ”

Looking at Ye Yan and shaking his head, Tang Qianyi sighed softly. But now we can only wait patiently.

For a few days, there was no news from Chen's house, and after the incense in the shop was sent to Chen's house, it couldn't be supported for a few days.

Tang Qianyi propped her head and looked at the swaying bean lamp on the table, picked up the scissors on the side and cut the lantern flowers. The lights flickered even more, shining on Tang Qianyi's face, confusing.

She knew she was gambling. In two days, the second batch of incense that Chen Fu asked for will also be delivered. The incense in the shop can last for two days at most. Although he sent a letter to Uncle Hu, he couldn't save the fire from far water.

The first day passed.

On the second day, if there is no news on this day, then she will really lose the bet. It turns out that the road is so difficult. It was hard for her to imagine how difficult it was for her father to start a business from scratch in Suyang back then. Thinking of this, she didn't dare to give up even more.

"Miss, there's news from the Chen Mansion."

Tang Qianyi's heart jumped, hopefully.

"Prepare the car."

Tang Qianyi did not go to Chen's mansion, but went to the post station in the east of the city.

Yeqi has been guarding in one place for a long time, just waiting for Tang Qianyi to come. Tashou mixed in the guys who moved the goods, helping up and down to transport the goods. Seeing Tang Qianyi's carriage, Duoshou looked left and right, and when no one was paying attention, he came to Tang Qianyi's carriage.

"Miss, it's our family's incense."

"Okay." She looked at Nightshade again. With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so soldiers hiding behind him rushed up and rushed into the post station.

Where have the guys who moved the goods seen this formation, they put down the things in their hands one after another, and honestly huddled together. One of them tried to escape, but before he could take two steps, he was caught by a soldier who kicked the man in the shin, and the man fell to his knees.

Tang Qianyi listened to the movement below in the carriage and gradually stopped, before she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

One of them was dressed a lot more flamboyantly than the others, and his expression was not so nervous. The man was the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, and she raised her eyes to look at him, and then said to Yeqi, "Take it to the official mansion." ”

Chen Furen was being invited to listen to the play in the theater garden at the moment. Xiao Dan on the stage sang tactfully, and was singing to the place of affection, when a person whispered a few words in Chen Furen's ear, Chen Furen's face immediately changed, and he stood up suddenly. The opera garden suddenly stirred, and when he turned around, he saw that it was someone from the official mansion.

On the yatang, Tang Qianyi knelt alone, and Chen Furen escorted him, but he did not kneel.

And Jing Zhao on the yatang faced the two people below, his face was embarrassed, and he looked at the night tower standing on the side, and the embarrassment on his face was even more difficult.

He was an official in the same dynasty as Chen Furen, and Chen Furen had been dotted many times, so he had always turned a blind eye to his private activities, and now that he was stabbed in the open, he was naturally embarrassed. If it is an ordinary person, it is easy to send it, but the other party is still the general's fiancΓ©e.
