Chapter 21: Ineffective Night Detective

This time, Jintong came in person, mainly to personally supervise the brewing of the "Nine Steamed and Nine Dried Immortal Jade Liquid" to avoid mistakes.

In fact, it is the brewing process of soy sauce wine, Jintong deliberately gave a foolish name, bluffing Zhao Laosan into worshipping her even more.

Jin Tong personally guided Zhao Laosan for a few days, Zhao Laosan had experience, and soon mastered the skills, leading a team of people to roll up their sleeves and work day and night.

Jin Tong couldn't do these physical jobs, she was relieved to hand over everything to Zhao Laosan, and only went over to check and guide her in person when she was drinking.

To brew new wine, the inspection of the entire winemaking workshop is naturally much stricter than usual, and Zhao Laosan has added a team of guards, no matter day or night, twelve hours to protect the workshop without interruption.

Whenever Jintong goes out, the poor human flesh monitor Xu Ying must accompany him. Strictly speaking, Xu Ying is no longer considered human flesh surveillance. Zheng Qiyan recognized Jintong's ability very much, and now he only asked Xu Ying and them to secretly protect Jintong and not be assassinated.

In the past six months, Jintong has built a lot of construction projects in Niutouzhuang and expanded it a lot. He also built a brewing workshop, but in more than three months, he brewed several unheard of wines, which were popular in Beijing.

Zheng Qiyan has specially advised that he must protect Niutouzhuang, so as not to be remembered by people with a heart, which is not good for the Hou Mansion. Zhao Laosan later hired many short-term workers outside, many of whom Zheng Qiyan sent people to sneak in to secretly protect.

Zhao Laosan is not an ordinary person, the winemaking workshop is guarded extremely strictly, and those who are not slaves of the Jintong family can't even get close to those mountains. So what is the situation in the brewing workshop, Zheng Qiyan's subordinates can't find out anything.

Xu Ying knew that Jintong asked Zhao Laosan to buy grain, grain is the lifeblood of the country, and the large-scale purchase is inevitably eye-catching. Xu Ying was worried about Jintong, so she planned to visit the brewing workshop at night to see if there was anything wrong with her, so that she could make up for it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the brewing workshop, I was discovered.

Xu Ying is good at concealing light skills, and has never missed a shot since her debut, but she couldn't imagine that there is such a master in Jintong here. He didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he quickly retreated.

The person who discovered Xu Ying was Lu Liu.

Since Lu Liu automatically sold himself to Jintong and received an errand from Niutouzhuang, he fulfilled his duties and worked hard to be a loyal servant.

Several wines produced by Jintong Brewing Workshop are unique in Shangjing, and many people are afraid of the power of Pingninghou, so they can only watch Jintong Jinshan and Yinhai earn. There are also some people who are not afraid of death, or those who are also high-ranking and shameless, and have sent people to steal teachers several times.

When Lu Liu came to Niutouzhuang, he was assigned to the escort team, and dozens of Niutouzhuang guards took turns to patrol day and night. Lu Liu's family has a history, and he is the most talented of the six brothers, with superhuman five senses, almost one catch, and he really helped Jintong clear up a lot of people.

Jintong came to Niutouzhuang to make new wine, but someone immediately followed him into the winemaking workshop, and Lu Liu's vigilance was great.

Xu Ying paid for himself, thinking that it would not be difficult to retreat with his whole body, who would have thought that Lu Liu was like an awl with bones, biting tightly. The two of you ran away from me, and Xu Ying couldn't get rid of Lu Liu for most of the hour.

Xu Ying was unfamiliar with the topography of Niutouzhuang, and he was very clever to circle around the brewing workshop, looking for a way out.

Xu Ying is bitter in her heart! If he was really caught by Lu Liu, if he admitted his identity, I don't know if Mrs. would be angry with the marquis, whoever knew that he had been watched for so long would be angry, right? What's more, Madame, a murderous woman like a lion in Hedong?

If you don't admit it, think about the thief who was cut by Zhang He's tongue, ruined his eyes, and broke his hands and tendons, Xu Ying hurriedly worked harder and ran faster.

Fortunately, Lu Liu was afraid of Xu Ying's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he ordered the other guards of the brewing workshop to continue to patrol, be sure to protect the workshop, and not let any thieves take advantage of the situation, and he pursued Xu Ying alone. Otherwise, the workshop guards would attack back and forth, and it is estimated that Xu Ying would not be able to escape.

After chasing me for a long time, Xu Ying finally found a place to hide, and the whole person went down a cliff, hiding among the vines and grasses on the mountain wall with bated breath.

Lu Liu lost the trace of Xu Ying, did not give up and cut down a long vine, waved and whipped at the mountain wall, listened to the sound and distinguished, except for startling countless birds in the mountain, he found nothing. Lu Liu pondered for a moment on the mountain wall and turned to leave.

Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully, Lu Liuxing took about a hundred steps, and then he didn't hear the sound of footsteps. Xu Ying was quiet and hidden, but he was secretly anxious in his heart, for fear that Lu Liu would be hard to consume until dawn, so how could it be?

Fortunately, Lu Liu only waited for about a stick of incense before he really left, he was concerned about the brewing workshop, and he only wanted to go back and strengthen his vigilance, so as not to be sneaked in by thieves.

When Xu Ying returned to the place where Wuping lived, he was hungry and cold, and he was embarrassed like never before.

Wu Ping was shocked: "Brother Ying, is there something wrong with Madame?" How did you get to this point? ”

Xu Ying waved his hand: "Madame, it's okay, rest in the hot spring villa." ”

"Then how did you get this virtue?" Wu Ping hurriedly took a small jar of wine to warm up Xu Ying's body, and then took out some dried meat.

Xu Ying took a big sip of wine first, his throat was hot and warm to his stomach, he exhaled a long breath, and his whole body warmed up.

Then he devoured a few large pieces of dried meat, and felt that he had finally come back to life, so he said to Wu Ping: "I went to the brewing workshop to inspect, but I was discovered by my wife's subordinates and almost caught, and it was not easy to get rid of that Lu Liu and come back." ”

"You're insane! Why don't you go to Madame Brewery's workshop to check out a bird? Mrs. came to Niutouzhuang this time, just to brew a more rare fairy jade brew, the workshop is several times stricter than usual, you, you, you, you should not also want to learn from others to steal the teacher! Wu Ping was so angry that he stammered, why is this Xu Ying becoming more and more unreliable?

Since Jintong recovered from his illness, he managed the entire Pingning Hou Mansion like an iron bucket, and he was good at dancing in various powerful families in Beijing in diplomacy, and he earned a lot of good reputation for the Pingning Hou Mansion by the way. The seventh master now trusts Madame, and only tells Xu Ying and the others to secretly protect Jintong, and the rest, unless Madame has any excessive behavior, can be stopped. This is good, Xu Ying was kicked in the head by a donkey, so he had some night exploration of the brewing workshop.

"Don't talk nonsense, what do I want that recipe for? In the past few months, Madame has been buying grain on a large scale, and I was afraid that there would be something wrong with the brewing workshop, so I wanted to go and see it. ”

"Save it, you, why don't you go and ask my brother before making a decision! The newly brewed wine of Mrs. is said to be a collection of the essence of grain, and a pound of wine requires at least a dozen catties of grain to make it. Besides, don't you see how many lees are put out every day by the breweries to be used as feed? Wu Ping stretched out the small jar of wine to Xu Ying's eyes: "Just this five-grain alcohol, it takes seven or eight catties of wheat sorghum to brew a catty, but you say, what's wrong with Mrs. buying grain on a large scale?" ”

Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had done too much, running for two hours in vain, freezing for half a night, and being trained by Wu Ping, the kid, and being irritable in his heart, he only rested sullenly.

The two of them just cared about chatting, and they thought that they couldn't lower their voices or anything in their own territory, but they never expected to be overheard.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang He gets up every day at the beginning of Yin to practice piling, Xu Ying happened to return at the beginning of Yin, Zhang He became curious, and hid outside to listen to their conversation clearly.

After Zhang He followed Jintong to the Pingning Marquis Mansion, he did find countless times in his daily life that it seemed that someone had been secretly spying on Jintong. Helplessly, Zhang He searched for his roots several times, but found nothing, which made Zhang He sit on pins and needles all the time, for fear that someone in the dark would be unfavorable to Jintong.

Now that the truth is revealed, Zhang He has been worried for a long time, and finally feels at ease. Zheng Qiyan treats Jintong like this, the spirit of the old marquis and the old lady in the sky, you can rest assured! Zhang He was happy for Jintong and went back to practice in good spirits.
