A breeze blew, blowing Mo Yunxiao's clothes and the hair on her forehead, but it couldn't blow her awe-inspiring righteousness and the murderous aura in her eyes.

The three people present were stunned, and the singers also stood on the spot, timidly afraid to speak. Only the roasted meat exudes a rich aroma and a "zing" sound.

Chu Yuanwai and Zhang Chun glanced at each other, the former just smiled awkwardly, and the latter had a faint and obvious anger on his face.

Qiu Feng looked at Mo Yunxiao in a daze, as if he had been drained. He couldn't help but think to himself: "It turns out that there is such a beautiful woman in the world." ”

However, Mo Yunxiao just glanced at him, and said coldly: "Presumably this is Qiu Feng Qiu Yuhou." Today you killed a beggar, and I have to honor you for such a great achievement. ”

As she spoke, she picked up the wine jug on the table outside Chu Yuan and took a big sip to her mouth.

Qiu Feng hurriedly got up, also picked up his wine glass and said, "Mo ...... Miss Mo said seriously. "And then I drank it all in one go.

Can't he hear that Mo Yunxiao was deliberately mocking him? No, it's just that I'm fascinated by beauty for a while, and I'm just messing up.

Zhang Chun glanced at him with disdain, thinking to himself: "Womanizer, how can you become a great weapon." ”

"Hahaha......" Chu Yuanwai burst into laughter, breaking the reverie of several people. He stood up and ordered, "Quick, give us a big girl a seat." ”

A few servants brought a low table and placed it next to Zhang Chun. A stove was set up on the table to roast meat, and the interrupted lute music was played again.

Mo Yunxiao looked at Chu Yuanwai and found that the other party was also looking at him with a smile. She was not polite, and sat down.

Although he went deep into the tiger's den, the nickname of "Female Yama" seemed to be able to deter the ghosts and spirits here. Therefore, she must not show the slightest cowardice.

"Chu Yuanwai is good Yaxing, in this month's dark wind and high murder night, there is still a night talk with candles." Mo Yunxiao took the lead in opening her mouth.

Chu Yuanwai smiled and said, "I really can't hide anything from you Miss Mo." But the girl didn't know that the gang was not a good person. They were all deserters from the Western Army. Moreover, the beggars have always competed with our Cao gang for the benefits of the canal. Now the court has suppressed him, both for the law of the country and for personal favoritism. Isn't it all good? ”

"Shall we?" Mo Yunxiao was slightly taken aback, and secretly thought: "It turns out that Chu Yuanwai and the Cao Gang are in a gang, but this Mo Yunxiao ...... and how to get entangled with them. ”

When Mo Yunxiao hesitated, he heard a hoarse man's voice coming from the staircase. "Ahh

Everyone looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a coarse cloth and a short beat ascending the stairs.

This man has a muscular build, dark skin, and a skewed and unkempt face, which makes him look like he was born as a coolie.

"Oh? Really, say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived. Chu Yuanwai smiled and said, "Brother Wan, no one will compete with you for business on this canal in the future." ”

The man bowed with his fists clenched, and said in his hoarse voice, "Thank you for your grace." Over the years, we have been able to help you thanks to your old care. ”

Chu Yuanwai laughed even more, took this person's hand and walked towards Mo Yunxiao and them, and said, "Come, I will introduce Brother Wan." This is Mo Yunxiao, the eldest girl of the Mo family in Minglou. ”

This person was quite taken aback when he heard this, and he also arched at Mo Yunxiao with his fists, saying, "I'd rather eat three buckets of vinegar than Mo Helu." Three-year-old babies have heard this sentence. I...... I'm a rough person and can't speak, so please don't blame Miss Mo. ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled faintly and said, "It's easy to say." ”

Chu Yuanwai took him to introduce Qiu Feng and Zhang Chun again, but Mo Yunxiao was secretly thinking: "It seems that none of the people here are good people, and Mo Yunxiao is their guest, and it seems that he is not a good person." Alas, but how was Huan'er bought by her. Isn't Chu outside the staff jealous? ”

She is puzzled here, and the introduction over there is already over. I saw that the man surnamed Wan arched his hand and said to everyone: "I didn't expect that all the people who came here today are prominent people." Iwan Nailin is just a loach in the Bianhe River, and he can also enter the house, which really makes everyone laugh. ”

Qiu Feng laughed and said, "Brother Wan is humble and can't speak, in fact, I think your mouth is very powerful." ”

Wan Nailin smiled: "Hehe, I just can't speak, I only know how to pull fiber and transport goods." I've been like this for half my life. ”

Zhang Chun also smiled and said: "Our Tokyo is so prosperous and rich because of the advantages of the canal. And the Cao gang running on the canal, although it is a lowly job, it is not missing for a day. In the future, the goods of Changfeng Building will also be taken care of by Brother Wan. ”

"Don't dare, I just do my best." Wan Nailin replied.

"That's for the best." Mo Yunxiao also interjected and said: "Since everyone relies on the canal, we must help each other in the future." ”

"Humph!" Zhang Chun glanced at it coldly and said, "Since you beat your big girl Mo to take the right to the tea building, half of our guests in Changfeng Mansion have become your guests." What else did Miss Mo say? ”

Mo Yunxiao also snorted and said: "The feet are on the guests themselves, and people can patronize whoever they want." Minglou has never refused to let people out of the door. ”

"Mo Yunxiao! Don't deceive people too much! Zhang Chun suddenly became angry and said sharply: "How our guests ran away, you know in your heart!" ”

Mo Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought to herself: "Could it be that this Zhang Chun has suffered Mo Yunxiao's loss?" ”

Before she had time to think about it, she heard Zhang Chun say angrily: "The chalcedony and flower brewing of our Changfeng Building are well-known for their good wine, and even the first emperor praised them greatly. But you Mo Yunxiao did a good job, and actually sent someone to buy my wine and give it to the condemned prisoners to drink, and named it 'Guillotine Wine'! You're acting too despicable. ”

"I see." Although Mo Yunxiao also felt that this was inappropriate, she also secretly praised: "This trick is wonderful." ”

So she smiled slightly and said, "If Shopkeeper Zhang is angry, he can also buy tea from our tea house for the prisoners to eat." ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Chun slapped the table and was furious, and shouted: "Which prisoner have you ever seen who eats tea!" ”

"Alright, alright." Chu Yuanwai hurriedly came to play the round: "Oh, it's for the sake of my Chu someone's face, don't fight between the two." Didn't Brother Zhang just say that today he only talks about personal friendship and doesn't talk about business? ”

While a few people were talking, the tables, chairs, wine and food for Wan Nailin were also prepared.

"Hehe, come on, let's eat this barbecue that we have never eaten in our lives, hehehe......" Chu Yuanwai said and returned to his seat.

Wan Nailin asked: "I don't understand, I often eat this barbecue, how can I say that I have never eaten it in my life?" ”

Qiu Feng explained: "There is nothing unusual about meat, what is unusual is this ingredient. Brother Wan, you taste it carefully. ”

Wan Nailin leaned over and sniffed at the tip of his nose and exclaimed, "Oh! Sure enough, it was a rare smell of meat. It's the first time I've seen it in my life. If any wine restaurant can get this thing, and is not afraid that diners will step on the threshold? ”

"It is indeed the most precious treasure in the world." Zhang Chun also sighed.

"Humph! What's so strange about this, isn't it cumin? Who eats barbecue without cumin! ”

As soon as Mo Yunxiao said this, she was shocked.

Zhang Chun sneered and said, "Miss Mo, you blow the atmosphere." This fennel is from the Western Regions, and it is rare even in the Great Inner Forbidden Palace. You say it's not unusual? ”

"It's not unusual!" Mo Yunxiao said: "This thing is called cumin, which is a necessary condiment for barbecue. ”

Chu Yuan's complexion changed outside, and he could only say quietly: "In this way, Miss Mo has a way to get this spice." ”

"I can't." Mo Yunxiao replied briskly.

Zhang Chun's eyes stared straight at her, but he was thinking in his heart: "This girl is calm and relaxed, not like she is pretending to bluff people." It is said that the tea recipe of the tea house is not secret, could it be that there is a taste of fennel in it? ”

Chu Yuanwai smiled again and said, "Miss Mo is well-informed, admires and admires. The girl is a cheerful person, has a straight talk, and never beats around the bush. That's why I'm willing to make you a friend. ”

Qiu Feng's eyes lit up, and he turned his head sideways and asked, "Outside, I don't know how you and Miss Mo met?" ”

"Hahaha, that's a long story." Chu Yuanwai stroked his mustache and said: "That year, I fell in love with the daughter of a criminal minister's family and wanted to buy her as a concubine. But Miss Mo just stopped it. I was naturally annoyed, but Miss Mo said something, and it suddenly dawned on me that not only did I not annoy the girl, but I was also very grateful to her. ”

"Oh?" Qiu Feng asked with a smile: "What did Miss Mo say, so that she let the staff abandon the beauty." ”

Speaking of the word "beauty", he didn't forget to glance at Mo Yunxiao.

Chu Yuanwai said slowly: "Miss Mo told me that the criminal minister's family should not be humiliated. Their homes have been raided today, and they may be reinstated tomorrow. Over the years, have there been few such examples? When I heard this, I woke up like a dream, and I realized that Miss Mo was here to save me. As everyone knows, if I bought that woman in such a daze, and the direction of the court changes in the future, wouldn't I bring trouble to myself? ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Mo Yunxiao again and asked, "Girl, am I right?" ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, not bad." Another mystery in her heart was solved, but a new question arose: Why did Mo Yunxiao help Chu Yuanwai?

Qiu Feng also pondered and said, "Miss Mo really has good knowledge. ”

Zhang Chun sneered disapprovingly, and said: "But I didn't expect that many years have passed, and those who have been dismissed have never been hired again." ”

Qiu Feng argued: "Brother Zhang's words are wrong. Now that the new official family is in high spirits, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not pardon the former criminals. ”

Chu Yuanwai also fell into deep thought, and said: "It's just that I haven't understood all these years that that criminal minister is just a Lantai sword and pen officer, and he doesn't even have a grade. Even if the official family wants to implement the new law, it won't involve him anyway. ”

Zhang Chun thought for a moment and said, "Unless someone reports it." ”

"Whistleblowing?" Mo Yunxiao turned her head to look at Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun ignored her, and just explained to Chu Yuanwai: "If the official family wants to change the law, it is naturally vigorous and resolute." Although ordinary officials cannot enter the eyes of the official's law, if someone denounces it, it will be a small crime and a big fuss. Otherwise, it is not enough to convince people. This is to set an example for yourself and establish yourself as an example. ”

Zhang Chun's elder brother Zhang Dian is an official in the court, so he is still very familiar with the rules of officialdom.

"Oh!" Chu Yuanwai suddenly realized and said, "But I don't know who wants to denounce their family." ”

"Naturally, it's an enemy." Zhang Chun replied.

And Mo Yunxiao, who heard these words, felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She looked up at the sky outside the building, and could already faintly see the whiteness of the east.

"It's dawn." She said lightly.
