Chapter 192: The Second Doubt
This guard was originally one of the more clever people in the team under Tang Mingyi, but compared to these people in the current hall, he was a downright real person.
"Actually, there's nothing to say, how else can the people in the hall react when they see the official? It's nothing more than that there is always fear on the face, a push-and-hold attitude, a flickering statement in words, and a dilemma in action. After the guard stared at Li Mao and said this, he quietly glanced at Tang Mingyi again, and then ended his words, "That's it." ”
Hua Ji, who was sitting next to him, listened, "hehe" laughed several times, patted his thigh towards Tang Mingyi, who was close to the left, and then raised his hand and pointed at the guard: "Is it like my brother is now?" ”
"You ......" The guard's face turned red, but he didn't dare to attack on the spot, and only glared at Hua Ji angrily.
Zhixia, who had just stood next to the eldest lady, was almost laughed out loud by Hua Ji's words, but asked Wen Jiuzhi, who also had some smiles, to get some scattered fruits.
"The eldest lady just finished breakfast, and she wants to eat again?" Zhixia saw that Tang Mingyi and the guard were half an outsider each, and they got the order of the eldest lady, so they usually didn't cover up too much in front of the two highnesses, and the rest knew the roots, so they were a little presumptuous.
Warm and coaxed her: "I may not be able to eat it, but I always feel that there is something short at hand, you can take it." ”
Zhixia suddenly had an idea: "Then I'll get some plums for the eldest lady, Li Mao brought two baskets half a month ago, and I picked up some and asked the cook to make a honey fried, but I haven't eaten it yet." ”
Li Mao watched and listened to all directions, and at this time he was about to talk to the guard, but he immediately interjected: "This plum is good, I took people to pick it out one by one, and only picked out two baskets out of ten baskets......"
Li Mao didn't realize that Wen Liang was looking at him expressionlessly until he was halfway through speaking, so he stopped. Zhixia didn't care about this, and went to fry the honey for the eldest lady.
Tang Mingyi still felt a little embarrassed in his heart because of the guard's reaction, but let this guy dilute his emotions, only to feel that it was obviously a serious scene, and a few people present were also a little more relaxed, but it did not prevent him from telling the guard: "If there is anything, the eldest lady asks, don't delay the matter." ”
The guard originally thought that he had a head start on guarding, although he couldn't think of it, but there may be some key information that others don't know, so he said some to hide some at this time, and then told his Highness to listen to it separately afterwards, and then His Highness did the calculation.
However, his prevarication was too conspicuous in the eyes of everyone, and he was jokingly refuted in just two sentences, and with such an order from His Royal Highness, he put away his thoughts and explained the situation truthfully.
In fact, when the guard was in the same room with the three flower girls, he did ask some questions, nothing more than how they escaped the murder of the murderer, and whether they had seen the murderer's appearance, or when they came to Xinghuatai, where they were and so on.
Some of them are duplicates of Hua Ji's question, and some of them are later known for the results. But at that time, the three flower girls were just frightened, no matter how carefully the guard said now, they could only hear that the flower girl was reasonably afraid and guarded against the officials.
Wen himself trusts Li Mao's ability to see things, and he really can't find a way out of these trick hall flower girls and the like, and now seeing his attitude, it is only up to him to explain.
What the guard said was all reasonable, and everyone didn't hear any strange or special circumstances from it, but Li Mao was very satisfied, and only said: "Is it natural for Hua Niang to use such an attitude towards officials?" ”
The guard nodded and said yes.
Li Mao smashed his mouth and only said: "The problem lies in the four words that should be." I dare to ask you, not to mention this Tongcheng, several of them are from Guangyang Anping, just say where you come from, don't the local officials go to the museum? ”
Li Mao's question is actually simple, but whether it is Tang Mingyi or Hua Ji, neither of them is really from Anping Guangyang, and Hua Ji is proficient in what he says, but he has not taken a few errands to go to the Trick Pavilion, in fact, he only pondered about it with superficial means, and he didn't know more in-depth details, Tang Mingyi couldn't figure it out, so no one could say this.
And Li Mao didn't know their situation, so he answered by himself after asking: "Let me say this, not only Anping Guangyang, but even Lianzhou, and even the nineteen counties of Dachu, these people are all frequent visitors in the Qinglou Restaurant, and even distinguished guests. Logically speaking, that's not what is actually said. ”
Hua Ji originally said it once, and Li Mao said the same thing again, although Tang Mingyi knew that the two of them didn't know their identities, but in line with the emotion of sharing the honor and disgrace with Da Chu in his bones, he only felt secretly ashamed and couldn't say a lot of words.
"That's the way it goes." Hua Ji took over directly, "I also considered this, but our Tongcheng is also different, after all, it is too much for a month......"
Hua Ji suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, and Li Mao knew that he had figured it out, so he continued: "Taishou has made a strict ban this month, and people who have just come to Tongcheng know at a glance that there is such a trend in the city, but has Taishou copied which one?" Have you ever punished any master or steward? ”
Speaking of this, Hua Ji first shook his head and then nodded, which was completely agreed.
"If these flower girls are veterans, it is not yet known whether Taishou will act like this temporarily or in the long run. At least for now, this is a momentary limelight, and it doesn't hurt the bones and blood, it doesn't hurt or itch, or hide or close. Only newcomers, or people who don't do this at all, will be cautious. ”
"Taking a step back, none of the original Tongcheng Army, as well as these peers in my mansion, have ever been to this Xinghuatai? Don't even know any of these flower girls? Why is it that from the beginning to the end, none of them have used the name of any of them to put on a close look? Even if you avoid it at first, you have to bring it to the government in the end, don't say it? Calm down. ”
Hua Ji didn't have anything to say, but Tang Mingyi still had doubts: "But when those three people talked to us, they didn't actually have more of this attitude, especially that Chu girl, and even talked about the conditions." Doesn't that match your claim? ”
"That's what you say, but it's not right." After Li Mao finished speaking, he asked the guard, "Brother Tai, if you change places, what should you do?" ”
The guard didn't react for a moment, his mouth opened but he didn't say a word.
Hua Ji replied directly for him: "No matter whether you are fierce or kind, you should always move out of the identity of the master Tang Gongzi to be safe." ”
"How can I use my son-in-law's power to spread it everywhere?" The guard hurriedly said angrily, but he was angry, but he was powerless, because he also remembered that this was indeed the case when he was in the palace.
"So these three people are not flower girls, at least they are not flower girls who were in Xinghuatai earlier." Tang Mingyi heard it clearly and understood, and quickly said one of the conclusions that he was sure of, so as not to be obvious to himself.
Li Mao nodded: "This is actually just my speculation, and I can only say that it is unreasonable, and I dare not say that it must be so." However, since they want to get rid of Master Sun, they must go out of the city, and as soon as they stop at the city gate, it will be clear that they will bring people back. ”
Even so, although Wen was not in a hurry, he did not delay, and gave Wen Liang a signal, asking him to send someone to the city gate to make some arrangements.
