"Quack!"

The small porcelain plate is filled with a plate of peach blossom crisp that sells very well, each skin is thin and the filling is large, crispy and refreshing, the bread is sweet and delicious jujube paste, with a little wine and rock sugar to taste, although it is crispy, but it is not dry at all, the more the three sisters of the Ma family eat, the more they feel that the aftertaste is endless, they have never tasted this method of peach blossom crisp before, and they knew to be restrained when they first started to eat, but later, they completely let go.

"Quack!"

The three of them ate more and more urgently, and ate faster and faster, with the sharp decrease in the peach blossom crisp, they also had a sense of crisis, starting faster and faster, and the movements became more and more unpolite, Xu was because it was too delicious, and it was completely gone when it was too late, and all the mouths were full of peach blossom crisp foam, making it look like three little flower cats, and Zhao Ningyan who was next to him just wanted to laugh.

However, she didn't care, Chen Huan's face sitting opposite her was a little unbearable, although these three beloved apprentices were deeply loved by her, but when it came to the greedy mouth, it was inevitably too unproductive, and if you didn't know the number of etiquette, you knew how to eat stupidly, how could you let her be a teacher?

"Ahem......"

A dry cough should be a reminder, in line with a mentality of "family ugliness should not be publicized", Chen Huan is not good at reprimanding his apprentice in person, Meimu blinked lightly, and simply changed the topic, "That, by the way, sister, I just heard you ask something at the door, could it be that you have lost something?"

"Huh?" As soon as these words came out, the smile on Zhao Ningyan's face suddenly disappeared, and his clear gaze slowly moved downward, during which he crawled on the cloth with a little worry, lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and sighed, "Alas, forget it, you are not an outsider anyway, I will tell you to hear it, in fact...... I did lose something, and it's the most important thing in our quenching hall. ”

"Are you talking about ...... "How smart Chen Huan is, she found out that something was wrong here as soon as she entered the house, but because of the problem of face, she didn't get straight to the topic as soon as she came up, so she simply took a roundabout approach, and only gradually went deeper into the topic after greetings.

A conjecture, Zhao Ningyan couldn't help but shake his lips, nodded silently, "Yes...... Yes. ”

"What!" Chen Huan almost jumped up from the stool, how important the fire seed is to the Quenching Hall, if the guard disciple accidentally loses it, this sin is great!

"What...... When did you lose it?" Chen Huan asked anxiously, obviously worried about Zhao Ningyan's current situation.

Zhao Ningyan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know the specific time, it's just that when I took over the shift with Zhao Keliang, something happened to go out, and I didn't have time to check it in person, and when I came back from my errands, the firepower seed was gone." ”

"Zhao Keliang?" Chen Huan's brows couldn't help frowning, his index finger pointed at his chin and pondered seriously for a few seconds, then he suddenly raised his head and said, "You didn't carefully check when you handed over to them face-to-face, could it be that the fire seed was lost in their class?"

"Actually, I also doubted this possibility, but now that we lack evidence, and the class has been handed over, if we ask directly, they will definitely not admit it. ”

"Then did you notice that something was wrong with their faces when you handed them over?" Chen Huan then asked.

Zhao Ningyan recalled, "Zhao Keliang is no different from usual, that is, Wang Ying, the cough seems to be more serious than before, when he handed over to me, he always kept coughing, his eyes were dodgy, he didn't dare to look at me, he seemed to have something in his heart, and it was not good to say it to his face, but I was busy dealing with other things at the time, and I didn't think much about it, so I changed shifts with them." ”

"That must be them, they didn't run away!" After listening to Zhao Ningyan's description, Chen Huan said firmly.

"Oh?" Zhao Ningyan was a little curious, "Why is my sister so sure?"

"Hmph, it's just a simple method of elimination. Chen Huan looked at a place, his face was a little cold, "If they weren't thieves, why would they behave so strangely?" Zhao Keliang I know, typical selfishness, nothing to do with oneself, always like to shirk responsibility when something happens. As for Wang Ying, although I haven't had much contact with her, I have heard from others about one of her major shortcomings, she has been timid and afraid of things since she was a child, she is afraid of doing things, and she will keep coughing whenever she makes a mistake, thinking that they must have stabbed Lou Zi. ”

"What does that sister mean that they stole this fire seed, and they stole it themselves?"

"Hmm...... This possibility is not very likely, after all, the two of them are afraid of responsibility and the other are afraid of causing trouble, they should not be so bold, the only possibility is that they found out that the fire seeds were stolen and secreted, and deliberately waited until the handover with you to push the responsibility away, as long as you didn't check on the spot, they could pat their butts and leave. ”

"Hiss......" took a breath of cool air, and Zhao Ningyan said quietly, "If that's the case, then the situation will be terrible, after all, there is still something to check if the fire seeds were stolen by their own people, but if they are stolen by outsiders and sold somewhere in the City of Water, then we are looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is nowhere to find it." ”

"Well, my sister is right, the fire seed is very important, for the sake of today's plan, we can only arrest Zhao Keliang and Wang Ying first and interrogate them well. ”

"Interrogation?" Zhao Ningyan showed a bitter look on his face, "Even if it is interrogation, they may not admit it." ”

"Hmph, if they don't admit it, then don't blame me for being rude!"

"My sister is going to ......"

"Hmph, sister, have you forgotten what I do at home? Just two or three drops, not afraid that they won't tell the truth. ”

"What my sister said, but your Chen family's forced water supply?"

Chen Huan raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister, it's too straightforward to say that forcing water supply, it has a name, it's called Yunyu Qianyan!"

"Yunyu Qianyan? Alas, only your Chen family will give it such an elegant name, Yunyu not only confides, Qianye is the truth, so a Yunyu Qianyu. ”

"Oh sister, I'm in a hurry for you, how can you make fun of its name?"

Zhao Ningyan shook his head with a wry smile, then patted her shoulder gently, and pulled her back, "Look at you, what should I do if I get angry at every turn, and I get angry?" Okay, my sister knows it's wrong, don't make fun of your things, okay?"

"Hmph!" Chen Huan pouted his little mouth and tilted his head high, once this serious person on weekdays learned to be coquettish, others always felt that they couldn't stand it.

The three sisters of the Ma family next to them looked stupid again, and said in their hearts that the teacher didn't drink alcohol today, how could she be cute? Could it be that the tea she just drank made trouble?

I couldn't figure it out, and the three sisters didn't dare to ask more, so they could only silently wipe the peach blossom foam on their mouths, and stood aside and didn't dare to talk.

"Sister, my good sister, don't be angry, my sister knows it's wrong, what do you want?" Zhao Ningyan began to appease, knowing the other party's temper well, seeing that a few words of persuasion had no effect at all, he simply did something practical and won with material, "Otherwise, my sister will give you a few altars of high-quality daughter Hongdang to make amends?"

"Daughter Red?"

As soon as this word came out, Chen Huan's face really improved, he was born a daughter who was addicted to alcohol for some reason, and his hands holding his chest were slowly lowered, and he asked tentatively, "Really?"

"Hehe, what my sister said herself, how can it be fake?"

"That'...... It's at least thirty years old, and the vintage is too low for me to want. ”

Zhao Ningyan smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”

"Hmph, that's pretty much it. ”

Chen Huanle was happy, Fang Cai's change of topic not only adjusted the other party's worried mood, but also got a few jars of good wine from it, which was simply the best of both worlds.

Seeing that Chen Huan's mood was improving, Zhao Ningyan rushed to the topic, and said with a serious expression, "Sister, although the method you just said is good, it is not ...... Wouldn't it be too cruel? After all, we all belong to the same family, isn't it a bit ...... to deal with them with "cloud language and a thousand words"?"

"Oh, sister, is she trying to protect them?"

"That'...... That's not it, it's just that I heard that your Chen family's "Yunyu Thousand Words" is very domineering, only two or three drops can make people confide the truth and tell the truth, but if the dose is not well controlled, adding too much will make people stupid, like wood, we don't have conclusive evidence now, and it is a bit ...... to torture them It's a bit excessive. ”

"Excessive? Hmph, my sister has always been good-tempered, but I can't do it, you can't be merciful to those kind of people who deal with them, if you are soft-hearted, they will kick their noses in the face, and lie repeatedly, if my sister can't bear it, then I will be the bad person, and I will do it for you. ”

"This ...... This is not a matter of doing it for you at all, the stakes are high, and we can't be too abrupt. In my opinion, it is better for us to tell the hall master first. ”

"Tell the hall master?" Chen Huan's face suddenly became nervous, "Sister, if you tell the hall master about this, according to his old man's temper, he will easily let you go?" He is very serious about you, but after all, this is related to the future of the entire Quenching Hall, in case his old man's quick temper comes up, and he grits his teeth and expels you from the sect, aren't you very wronged?"

"This ......"

"Oh sister, when the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, listen to me, don't worry, I will grasp the proportion, only let them spit out the truth, and will not hurt them. ”

"This ...... Well, I'll leave it to you, but you'll have to promise me that you won't hurt them. ”

"Okay, that's on me. Chen Huan patted his chest, he is also the kind of resolute master, and he will do it immediately after speaking.

"Hmmm......"

But as soon as he walked to the door, Chen Huan suddenly stopped, as if he remembered something, turned his head and stared at Zhao Ningyan and asked, "By the way, sister, in addition to losing the fire seed in the inner room this time, did you lose the fire essence?"
