Chapter 41: Burrito Diplomacy
In the back hall of Dali Temple, there is a brazier in the middle.
On the east side of the back hall, near the window, the light is better, and Ji Chen sits behind a desk with a portrait of a killer left by a former painter.
A pretty face is serious and focused, the eyebrows are slightly locked, and as far as the eye can see, it seems that he is in a no-man's wilderness, although the sky is wide and wide, but only the painting in front of him is seen.
Zhou Huan stood on Ji Chen's side, his posture was as tall as a bamboo pine, his face was like jade, his eyes were like stars, his tone was low and gentle, and he described the characteristics of the person in this painting to Ji Chen.
Zhou Huan's personal interrogation is naturally a more important person, so he must draw these people first.
Ji Jun looked at these two people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although it was not "red sleeves and fragrance",
But for no reason, I thought of "love and affection", it was really like a picture of the quiet years.
Could it be that the arrangement of the original book is really so powerful? The same is true in this life?
Looking at the two, Ji Jun's thoughts flew to the front.
Just now, she took Haitang to see Lan Zhutou, who was the "big man" who Aunt Zhuo said asked someone to get to know more realistically.
Ji Jun mentioned Aunt Zhuo straightforwardly, and Lan Zhutou was not surprised at all when he heard it.
Lan Zhutou is nearly forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slightly dark face, and a slight difference in the color of his neck, thinking that it is caused by the wind and sun outside all the year round, wearing a tie coat and a knife around his waist.
Lan Zhutou's attitude was a little cold but not rude, he thought for a moment, his voice was low, and he said slightly hoarsely: "Miss Ji, everything I can know about it has already been told to Aunt Zhuo. I thought she was dead. But now that you are asking, I will say one more thing, before and after Zhuo Yue's disappearance, Dali Temple in Beijing received more than 20 similar reports. β
Ji Jun was shocked in his heart, his face was not obvious, and he asked softly: "Lan Zhutou, are these people missing?" How many did you find? β
Lan Zhutou shook his head solemnly: "None of them have been found!" These people are about the same age as Zhuo Gongzi, tall, short, fat and thin, most of them are not natives in the capital, and when they were found by their families, many days have passed since they disappeared. β
Ji Jun captured a little information: "Aren't there still locals?" They don't have news either? β
Lan Zhutou nodded: "Yes, there are five locals, and it is exactly like this, they chased closely, so they gradually found that these twenty or so people have similarities." Dali Temple counted these two dozen people, including Zhuo Gongzi, as one case. Investigate quietly, but the more you investigate, the more clueless you get. I finally found a beggar, but the next day, the beggar fell into the water and died! β
There is hatred, helplessness, guilt, and regret in the eyes of the blue catcher.
Ji Jun believed that he had confided the news to the best of his ability.
Aunt Zhuo said that many days later, Lan Zhutou later returned the money to her. I think I feel hopeless to find it, and I don't want to "suffer in vain".
Ji Jun knew that Lan Zhutou had principles and bottom lines, and there was no reluctance, but she gave Lan Zhutou a "VIP card" of "good neighbor", which could be discounted by 5%.
The blue catcher thought about it and took it.
In fact, this "VIP card" is not an ordinary discount card.
Rather, seeing this card with a special mark, the "good neighbor" will not take any more money from him.
And the other Qiao catcher is completely different.
Seeing that Ji Jun was a guest of Zhou Huan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and a relative of the eldest prince of the Liguo Mansion and the prince of Guangning. I can't wait to do my best to talk about my glorious achievements and the hardships of finding a nephew for Aunt Zhuo!
Ji Yun had a polite and detached smile on his face, and his eyes became colder and colder.
In Qiao Zhutou's narrative, although he received Aunt Zhuo's money, he paid tens of millions of times more than Aunt Zhuo's money, and almost died:
He heard that the bandits robbed people to go up the mountain to join the gang, so he went deep into the bandits' den alone, was discovered by the bandits, and was beaten all over his body! It cost a few hundred taels of silver to heal the wound!
He heard that a gambling house had deceived scholars who were not familiar with the world, so he went to investigate again, but was discovered by the people in the gambling house and almost broke his leg! Spent dozens of taels of silver on medicine!
He heard that there was a brothel in the west of the city and recruited handsome men to be "Qingwan'er", he disregarded his reputation and his wife's misunderstanding, disguised himself and went into the brothel to find someone, but was discovered and almost killed......
Another time, there was a rich woman in the east of the city who was a bloodthirsty woman who liked to drink the blood of young men......
Another time, a murderous demon came out of the north of the city, specializing in killing scholars.....
In short, every time he broke into the Longtan Tiger's Den alone, and then he didn't find Zhuoyue every time, and his identity was exposed because of his lonely palm......
Then, he was seriously injured every time, and only one breath remained, but he was not killed each time.
Therefore, every time, I can still save a breath and be lucky enough to spend the money given by Aunt Zhuo!
Therefore, every time, there is still a chance to ask Aunt Zhuo for money to risk her life and feed the tiger again!
Ji Jun smiled on her face, her heart was indifferent and cold, if she could, she wanted to kill the person in front of her immediately!
If you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't be ashamed, and you can't be hated.
The most unforgivable thing is to tempt, guide, and deceive others with hopeless prospects, even though they don't want to, or have no strength to do it!
Although the deceived person is not clear, if he is not desperate, if he is not facing difficulties and difficulties, who is willing to rush to the doctor when he is sick, and who is willing to ask for help from others in a low voice?
Aunt Zhuo, a lady in the house, has not seen much herself, so how can she tell the difference when she is in a hurry?
In my previous life, my sisters said that there would be many "medical trusts" in regular hospitals that were well hidden, specifically to deceive farmers who had saved up money for a year to come to the big hospitals for medical treatment.
These peasants did not often go to the city, and when they met a "warm-hearted person", they immediately burst into gratitude and unreservedly trusted.
Then, these "medical trusts" will deceive them to some hospitals similar to the grass platform team, deceiving people and defrauding money is secondary, and the most hateful thing is to delay their illness and delay the time for diagnosis and treatment. Some are life-threatening as a result.
Ji Jun got up to say goodbye, and inadvertently, a slightly vague aroma wafted out.
It's not some poison and strong medicine, it just can make people dizzy for dozens of days! During this period, I can't eat or drink! In particular, it must not be contaminated with wine and meat, and it is close to women!
If you are abducted and deceived by the pit, if you eat it, spit it out!
On the west side of the back hall of Dali Temple, there is a table, and a basin on the table contains a stack of round and thin pancakes.
There's also a pot of steaming shredded potatoes! In the other bowls, there are chopped green onions, chopped eggs, chopped vegetables, fried peanuts, chili flakes, etc.
There is also a small jar with the words "Good Neighbor" printed on the outside, and the inside is filled with a special sauce made by "Good Neighbor".
Peony and bamboo leaves are rolling cakes one by one!
This is not unusual, what is strange is that Zhou Biao is also on the side, rolling up his sleeves and following while learning!
Roll ten and put it on a plate, and Rui Ting will carry it out.
I'll be back in a little while, and I'll take another plate out.
Today, Ji Jun and Ji Xun came to Dali Temple together, saying that they could help with the portrait and not want silver.
However, Ji Jun proposed that when Ji Xun came to paint a portrait, the staff on duty in Dali Temple must each buy a "good neighbor" burrito!
A burrito is ten cents, a hundred people are one or two silver, and the daily staff on duty in Dali Temple will not exceed 100 people, generally about 60 or 70 people, which is too cost-effective!
Before Zhou Huan could speak, Zhou Biao should accept it first!
Then, Zhou Biao found that things seemed to be a little different from what he thought!
Zhou Biao remembered that he was very full when he ate a "burrito" when he was a "good neighbor", and now, Rui Ting has eaten three by himself and is still a little hungry!
The other temple priests and master bookkeepers who use pens and sticks also eat in three or five!
As for those headcatchers running around, it seems that ten or eight is not a new thing!
Peony and bamboo leaves are in full swing on the spot!
The servants of Dali Temple were puzzled: just give us wraps, and take them directly from the "good neighbors" to make the finished ones.
Looking at this posture, is it possible to put a "burrito stall" in front of Dali Temple in the future?
Peony kept his hand in his hand and said loudly: "Brother Errand! This is no ordinary burrito, this is the hot heart of our "good neighbors"! Let you enjoy the service at home in Dali Temple! Our motto for "Good Neighbors" isβ"
Peony and bamboo leaves said loudly together:
"Think what you think, be anxious about what you are anxious about! Let our burritos come to your heart! β
"Burritos, burritos! Deaf and clear-sighted! β
"Burritos, burritos! The future is bright! β
Then, Peony and Bamboo Leaf raised their hands and patted each other's hands: "Beautiful! β
The errand officer of Dali Temple, "....."
Eat a cake, why is it so noisy!
What about Lord Shaoqing, don't care?
Look again, oh, don't care, Quang Ninh Shizi is there burrito!
Zhou Biao looked strange at first, playful, a little annoying and a little tired, he is a son, eating cakes and drinking porridge can't wait for others to bring it to his mouth, now he has personally rolled several cakes, and has the capital to brag with his buddies, and if he continues to do it, he will be wronged!
So I wanted to stop and slip away.
Peony disagreed: "Lord Shizi, if you are lazy, we will be very tired today, and we will be so tired tomorrow that we can't get up, and we won't be able to come to Dali Temple!" If we don't come, our little lady won't have anyone to accompany us, and she won't come! Do you want to think about it? β
Zhou Biao hated his teeth and glared: "Threaten me? Do you believe that I'm putting you in jail now? β
Peony's mouth flattened, and it looked like she was about to cry.
Zhou Biao suddenly had a headache: "Don't! I roll! I roll! β
Li Mi sighed, not knowing where he should go. It seems that it is redundant to go either side by yourself.
When I walked to the door, I saw Ji Yun's face was calm, and his eyes were faint looking at Ji Xun and Zhou Huan.
The woman is dressed in blue, covered with a white fox fur, with a beaded hairpin obliquely inserted, and a ruby on the hairpin is shining, which makes her look picturesque and jade.
Li Mi saw that she was stunned when she looked at Ji Xi and Zhou Huan, and there was something strange in her heart. faintly guessed, could it be that the woman in front of her liked Zhou Huan?
Then he coughed lightly and shouted, "Big cousin." β
Ji Jun came back to his senses, hurriedly replied, and smiled at Li Mi: "Big boy! β
Li Mi saw that there was no loss on her face in an instant, she was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Why are you so distracted?" β
Ji Yun lowered his head slightly and then raised his head, facing Li Mi's warm smile like jade and a pair of eyes like starry eyes in the dark night, and his heart suddenly missed a beat.
Seeing Li Mi asking, after thinking about it for a while, he smiled a little proudly and shyly: "I'm thinking, if in the future, when the adults ascend to the court, they hold our "good neighbor's" burritos in their hands, and the officials below are holding the killing rod in one hand and our burritos in the other. The bitter lord and the people kneeling below have been guilty for a long time, and they can also be allowed to eat a burrito! Yikes! How spectacular! β
Li Mi, "......"
Huan Shizi, I seem to be amorous for you.
