Chapter 48: The Book of Songs

Yuejian and Ruolan were almost finished, and Chen Chaoyan saw that Yuejian was holding two belly pockets embroidered with the five poisons of Tiger Town Ruyi and a belly pocket with a chicken picture in his hands. Chen Chaoyan didn't know her intention to take these two belly pockets, and since Wang Da was also there, she didn't ask more. Retracting her gaze, she looked at Ling You and Wang Da again.

Ling You and Wang Da were flipping through the book, and they were tapping and tapping, which should be checking whether there was a secret grid. Judging by the results so far, it seems less than ideal. Chen Chaoyan's gaze involuntarily fell on the few volumes of the Book of Poetry in his hand again. In the mist of thoughts, Tsukimi and Ruolan took the lead in finishing the wardrobe.

Seeing that Ling You and Wang Da still had half a row of bookshelves that had not been turned over, Ruolan stepped forward and pushed Chen Chaoyan, avoiding the lime and stepping out of the bedroom first.

Outside the door, Yuejian unfolded his belly pocket and said in a suppressed voice: "These two belly pockets are embroidered with a needle, and they are embroidered so vividly, except for the embroidery palace workshop in the capital, there is no other place to have this ability!" ”

In other words, there is no doubt that Shi Jiaoer and Shi Zhi are indeed from the capital.

After Chen Chaoyan motioned for her to put away her belly pocket, she went to Shi Zhi's west wing again.

There was nothing but a bed and a wardrobe in the west wing.

Tsukimi and Ruolan opened the wardrobe and only found a few clothes that Shi Zhichang had changed and washed.

"I have lived for two or three years, and I have a rich brother-in-law like the shopkeeper, but I only have so many clothes in the house," Tsukimi muttered, "This is too much to cover!" ”

I really want to cover it up.

After Chen Chaoyan swept around, he came to the same conclusion as her.

Coming out of the west wing, Ling You and Wang Da also came out of Shi Jiaoer's bedroom.

Ling You said: "Nothing was found. ”

Tsukimi said: "The Shishi house is empty, and there is nothing. ”

Wang Da looked at her twice.

When he was in Shi Jiao'er's bedroom before, he saw the belly pocket she was holding in her hand. But the belly pocket is the woman's underwear, and if she doesn't say it, it's not convenient for him to ask.

But...... He looked at Chen Chaoyan again.

Chen Chaoyan didn't hide it from him, handed him the Book of Songs, and told him about his tears.

After Wang Da saw it, he asked, "What does this mean?" Shi Jiao'er is in the twilight and four? ”

"Probably not." Chen Chaoyan said, "It should be that she already had someone she admired before she came to Luyang County." ”

Wang Da said disapprerovingly: "Since there are people you admire, what kind of relatives do you come to Ningwu County to find?" ”

Chen Chaoyan said: "This is the contradiction. ”

Wang Da looked at her, and then looked at the Book of Songs, "Miss Chen suspects that Shi Jiaoer is not here to find relatives?" ”

"Is it not, then Wang Daren will have to check it." Chen Chaoyan said.

Wang Da readily agreed.

Coming out of Changliu Street, walking for most of the tea, you will arrive at Shi Zhichang's gambling house, Jishan Fang.

Jishanfang did not close its doors because of Shi Zhi's death.

Jishanfang's business was not affected by Shi Zhi's death.

When waiting for the steward to come in the front hall of Jishanfang, looking at the lively scene in the inner square, Chen Chaoyan opened her mouth to say something, but thought that this was the limitation of the times, and it was not something she could change, so she closed her mouth with interest.

"Yo, what kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blows Lord Wang." The charming and touching voice accompanied by the strong fragrance of the wind came into everyone's ears and noses. Afterwards, a beautiful woman in her thirties shook a peony fan, accompanied by two stewards, and walked out of the depths of Jishanfang enchantingly. When he got closer, he glanced at Chen Chaoyan with charming eyes, and after saluting Wang Da first, he officially looked over, "This is the Chen girl who has been praised on the streets and alleys in the past two days?" If he is really a Peugeot person, it is no wonder that he can win the favor of King Jin. ”

Wang Da introduced: "This is the shopkeeper of the gambling house, Mrs. Zhao. ”

Zhao Niangzi casually said and saluted Chen Chaoyan Yingying, "Miss Chen is a noble person from the heavenly family, please bear with me in the future." ”

Chen Chaoyan didn't expect that the shopkeeper of the gambling house was actually a beautiful woman, and after returning the salute, he corrected and said: "Mrs. Zhao misunderstood, I am not a noble person." ”

Zhao Niangzi twisted her waist coquettishly, smiled at the last moon and Lingyou, and said, "Not now, it will always be in the future." As long as Miss Chen remembers, after becoming a noble person in the future, don't forget today's promise. ”

Wang Da put down the teacup violently, "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Chen is here for the drowning of Shi Zhi yesterday, since you are in the gambling house, then quickly lead us over!" ”

"It's stinking and filthy, and I'm not going to go." Zhao Niangzi turned around and stood beside Chen Chaoyan, her eyes were like silk, "Miss Chen is a person who wants to enter the heavenly family, and she can't go." ”

Wang Da snorted coldly, "If you don't go, don't open the gambling house!" ”

Zhao Niangzi giggled and said, "You can close it, I won't go if it's closed." ”

During the dispute, the official who had been summoned by Wang Da to find Li Er was about to run back.

Li Er is missing.

No one knows where he went.

Chen Chaoyan had expected this to be the result, so he was not surprised.

Seeing that Wang Da and Zhao Niangzi were always arguing, Chen Chaoyan rubbed his nose that was so fragrant that he began to get blocked, and said, "Forget it, if you want to know the way, lead the way." ”

After Wang Da glanced at Zhao Niangzi twice, he bypassed the noisy lobby and led her towards the corridor on one side.

Zhao Niangzi followed closely with Nana, and persuaded as she walked: "Miss Chen, the heavenly family is the most disciplined, but a lowly and lowly person is not worth losing a bright future for Miss Chen." ”

Yuejian disdainfully: "In terms of its humility, isn't Zhao Niangzi even worse than Shi Zhi?" ”

If Mrs. Zhao can open such a huge gambling house, she must have connections. Knowing that Yuejian was the person next to Xie Xuan, he was not angry at her ridicule, but only smiled enchantingly and said: "I know that I am more humble than that Shi Zhi." So, when I encounter such a bad luck, I can solve it with money. If it can't be solved with money, it will go to the government and seek refuge. ”

Chen Chaoyan stopped Yuejian, who wanted to argue with her, and asked her: "Dare to ask Shopkeeper Zhao, Shi Zhi came to the gambling house yesterday, did he come alone, or did he go together?" ”

Zhao Niangzi glanced at the two stewards who followed her.

One of the stewards replied, "A man has come." ”

Chen Chaoyan asked again: "What about the usual, did he come alone or in a group?" ”

The same steward replied, "Usually it is one person." Occasionally, there is a companion, but the companion is not fixed, and it should be in the workshop where they enter together after encountering outside the door. ”

Chen Chaoyan glanced at Zhao Niangzi.

Zhao Niangzi smiled and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know." Not to mention that I don't come to the gambling house every day, even if I do, there are not 1,000 people who come to the gambling house every day, but 800. Even if I have a big brain, I can't remember these trivial things. ”

That's just as well. Chen Chaoyan then asked, "Does Zhao Niangzi know his identity?" ”

"Miss Chen wants to ask, is it his sister?" Zhao Niangzi laughed twice and sighed, "Shopkeeper Fang is a drunken man, but it's a pity that he married a dominatrix's wife." not only manages his people to death, but also manages his money bag to death. That Shi Jiao'er followed him, and I am afraid that life will not be much better. ”

With a flicker of her eyes, she looked at Chen Chaoyan again and said, "However, I haven't been in contact with that Shi Jiao'er, and I don't know if she's good or not." But judging from the situation I inquired with a few stewards in the workshop in the morning, every time Shi Zhi came over, he only brought more than ten copper plates, obviously even if it was good, it was not much better. ”

After listening to the key points, Chen Chaoyan asked, "Does he come to the gambling house every day?" ”

Mrs. Zhao looked at the steward, and the steward replied: "It's not every day, but it always comes every three or five days." ”

After Chen Chaoyan wrote it down, he then asked, "Every time he comes, what does he gamble on?" ”

He replied, "Bet on the size." ”

Chen Chaoyan asked: "Have you always gambled on this?" ”

Zhao Niangzi stopped the steward with a group fan, nodded and said, "I've always bet on this, and that Zhou ...... Look at my memory, that Lord Zhou is a dead person. ”

Wang Da's face sank instantly, and he looked at her with sharp eyes like ice and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao really thinks that you can do whatever you want with 10,000 yuan?" ”
