Chapter 31: Ghost City
"Didn't Gong go back to Jiangyang with his father? How is it here? Yun Zhu was puzzled, and also turned to Fang Fang's location to confirm, and saw that it was really a brother.
"Big brother, didn't you go back to Jiangyang with your father?" Yunzhu asked with a slight salute.
"Hey, my sister is fascinated, and I haven't seen this talented man as a brother?" Gong said with a smile.
"Hasn't my brother seen him? Why see you again? ”
"I visited the representative official before, and this Xiaobai hid in the courtyard all day long, and it was really difficult to make friends with him. Today's travel is a good opportunity to feel at ease. Gong said.
"Eldest brother, what do you want?" Yunzhu asked.
"What else can be done? It's just to test whether Xiaobai is interested in you, and at the foreign affairs conference in a few days, you can let Min Ti, the prime minister of Dongsheng Kingdom, propose his relatives. ”
"I'm not ready yet." Yun Zhu said shyly when she heard this. Fangfang, who was on the side, panicked in her heart, and her slightly trembling lips made her panic revealed. Fortunately, Gong and Yunzhu only talked and didn't notice Fangfang.
Yunzhu was still pretending to be reserved, and at this time, the master and Hongyu also came to the door of the hall.
"Daddy." Yanli shouted, and the shout made Gong quickly turn around.
"Childe Xiaobai, don't come to harm?" Greetings.
"Zhuang Gong is loving, and he lives a leisurely life." The master said a lie, and after speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, this smile was well understood, what was there to be at ease, it was just luck that he didn't die.
"Childe, please take a seat. The dishes in the town building are ready, and they can be served, just waiting for the son to arrive. "Respectfully.
Yun Zhu, who was on the side, knew that the eldest brother would test whether Xiao Bai was interested in her, so she couldn't help herself, and walked away with trepidation, and came to a place where she could only see these two from a distance, but couldn't hear any conversation, sat down in the corner, and beckoned Hongyu and the others over.
Seeing that Yunzhu was abnormal, the master guessed a little meaning, but it was not good to refuse too directly, so he chatted awkwardly.
"Gong is so prepared, you already knew that I was going to come to this Yanlai Building tonight?" The master asked.
"Don't hide it from Gongzi, this town is my place for Liang Wenqing, Gongzi's safety is related to the peace of the three countries, how dare you be sloppy. And this restaurant? There are only two left in the town, the other is usual, my sister only has two hobbies, one is eating, and the other is you, son. So, apart from this, where will Yunzhu go? Where will Xiaobai go? ”
"Haha, Gong is thoughtful. Admire, admire. ”
……
The two sons, as if they had met the old people, gradually chatted from awkward to hot, nothing more than chatting about things that the poor can never understand.
The dishes of the town building are all in order, how polite is the master, eat it first, the eating appearance like a pig grabbing food, which is like a boy who has eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, which makes Gong Hao embarrassed, this is not eating, so I have to wait for the master to restrain himself.
And the master doesn't care if he eats ugly, after all, the chef in the deep courtyard can't make such a taste, the most important thing is that several dishes have not been eaten for a long time, such as Kung Pao Chicken......
The master filled his stomach, wiped his mouth with his hand, picked up the rice wine and drank it all, it was called a pleasure, he still remembered the pleasure of forgetting fear after getting drunk in Jiangyang Palace, not only drank happily himself, but also frequently advised Gong to drink.
Seeing that the master was about to get drunk, Gong still had an important matter before he could say anything, so he said to the master directly: "There are currently some clues in the case of Zhu Jiu's murder. Do you want to hear it? ”
If you catch the real murderer of Zhu Jiu, you can find the person who knows my master best in the air at this time, maybe this person is also a modern person, thinking of this, the master said almost as if he was ordering with the strength of wine:
"Tell me."
"Someone in the ghost market received a bounty sticker for the lives of Zhu Jiu and his fellow carmen." Gong said with a serious face.
Jiangyang has established the city for more than 1,000 years, it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in the past thousand years, the new city is covered with soil and rebuilt at the original site of the old city, the sewer pipe network space under the city is huge, most of the ghost markets are open here, because the atmosphere is dense, the light is dark, the buyers and sellers are wrapped tightly, and do not ask the way to come, do not ask the way out, it is very mysterious and weird, so the ghost market is about it.
The ghost market is nothing more than some unsightly deeds, including some important news and vicious deeds such as hiring people to commit murder. The Supervisory Yuan and the Admiral of Jiumen all knew about the existence of the ghost city, and they had sent officials to investigate it secretly, but as Gong said, they all went and never returned. When the government saw that the ghost market was difficult to achieve, it bought some news from a one-eyed old Zhou in real time to prevent chaos in the ghost market.
The news of the one-eyed Lao Zhou is absolutely true, but he looks at people and sells the news, and the government only buys the news to say whether there is any trouble, and most of the ordinary people are looking for revenge, looking for people, etc., and they collect more when they meet the rich, and they don't even collect when they meet the poor. However, the one-eyed old Zhou understands the rules of the ghost market, and only sells the news that has happened, and Gong's informant has another person, not the one-eyed old Zhou.
"Did you catch it?" The master asked.
"Just listening to the informant."
"Why don't you report directly to the Audit & Supervisory Service? Don't go to the ghost market to investigate? The young master seemed to have sobered up and asked.
"What's the benefit of talking to the government? It's better to talk directly to Xiaobai Gongzi about the reality. As for going to investigate, I'm afraid it's not that easy, the ghost market is never open at a fixed point, and the officials who forcibly break into the ghost city have all gone and never returned. Gong responded.
"Could it be that I should investigate it myself?" The master said.
"Exactly." Said respectfully.
"I'm afraid it's Gongzi who tricks me. Hehe, come and drink, although this rice wine is not as strong as white wine, it ...... to drink" Xiao Yehua fell asleep on the table again before he finished speaking.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai!" Gong called softly a few times to confirm that the master had fallen asleep, and then beckoned Yunzhu and the others over.
"Eldest brother, why don't you stop it." Yunzhu asked. And Hongyu was busy adjusting the posture of the young master to sleep on his stomach so as not to be uncomfortable,
"Hey, Xiaobai's amount of wine...... Do you still need to stop it? Kyo's words were full of disdain.
"How did the brother ask?" Yunzhu asked.
A tentative word, he did not deny it. In a few days' time, I will talk to Prime Minister Min of Dongsheng about this matter. Gong said.
Yun Zhu was full of joy and smiled: "Listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother." ”
Before Hongyu could help the master, she heard his snoring again, probably because of the wrong posture and blocking her snort.
Gong and the others looked at the snoring and said with a smile: "This amount of wine, you need to drink more in the future." ”
After Gong finished speaking, he added, seeing that the state should be the stamina of rice wine, he also said slightly drunk:
"I'll go back to the inn and take care of Xiaobai."
Yunzhu, Fangfang, and Yanli were busy saluting and seeing them off, and Hongyu, who was still busy taking care of the master, also wanted to put down the master's salute, but was stopped by Gong: "Don't salute, take care of Xiaobai." ”
After saying that, Gong Huang walked out of the hall.
"Childe is drunk, we also ate about the same, and the town is very deserted, so it is better to go back early to rest." Yunzhu said.
Hongyu was busy, but the weak woman couldn't drag the drunken master, so she hurriedly called Fangfang to help, but was stopped by Yunzhu.
"Let the guards outside the door come to help."
Yunzhu is reasonable, but after all, she is selfish, and she is still guarding against Fangfang.
The two guards came from outside the store, took off their armor, and helped the drunk, mouthful young man to go to the carriage outside the Yanlai Building. Ruby followed closely behind.
