The news of Zhou's mother's disappearance was still spread.

At noon, someone went to the fifth floor to bring her food, but only saw the messy room, but there was no one to be seen.

Now the Hou family's family began to fry.

Mother Zhou is the biggest clue that can be grasped in the case of the death of their young master.

But now they lost the clue.

Steward Fan angrily commanded the Hou family's family and Hu Yulou's thugs, and began to look for Zhou's mother's traces.

I can't find Zhou's mother, even if he is a housekeeper Fan, he can't end up with a good one in the end.

Hou San's death, Steward Fan already took a lot of responsibility. 、

After all, Steward Fan and Hou San were in the same room, but they watched him burn to death in front of his eyes, and such a dereliction of duty was unforgivable.

If Steward Fan can make meritorious contributions and catch Hou San's murderer, he may be able to save a small life.

But if the murderer can't be caught, Steward Fan will become the most unlucky wrongdoer.

Someone has to bear the wrath of the Hou family, doesn't it?

Li Xuan and his old gods were sitting in the private room on the second floor, watching the riots in Hu Yulou.

Steward Fan led people to dig three feet into the ground in Hu Yulou, but he didn't come to disturb them.

His position in the Hou family is already in jeopardy, and he doesn't want to make enemies with another big man at this time.

"The news of Zhou's mother's disappearance should have gotten out."

Princess Ankang said softly.

Next, they just need to wait and see if the murderer behind the scenes will go to the secret room of the cellar to check Zhou's mother's body.

If you can catch it right, of course it's the best.

I'm afraid that the murderer has enough patience and will wait until the dust settles before going to check on the body.

You must know that Princess Ankang and they have only been out of the palace for seven days this time, and it is now the third day.

If the murderer waits patiently for a few more days, Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an will have to return to the palace at that time.

At that time, I'm afraid no one will be able to find out about this case.

After all, there is a very important clue in it, that is, the relationship between Dr. Fang and Sissi, Li Xuan asked from the mouth of a cat.

I'm afraid that in this whole world, there will be no second person who can ask this clue from the gray mouth.

If you don't know the relationship between Dr. Fang and Sissi, in the eyes of outsiders, Dr. Fang has no motive to commit the crime at all.

"It is estimated that no matter how bold the murderer is, he will not dare to check on Zhou's mother's body during the day."

"Anyway, now that we've sent someone to see the secret room where the cellar lives, someone will naturally know when the time comes."

"Instead of sitting here in a daze, let's go meet Zhao Si, right?"

Princess Yuan'an was very positive about this case, and she opened her mouth to propose.

"My sister is right."

"But now it's a meal, so it's not convenient for us to visit."

"Why don't we find a place to fill our stomachs outside, and by the way, ask what is going on between Zhao Si and Hou San?"

"Now that I think about it, it seems that we forgot to check the clues of these two people."

Princess Ankang thought for a moment, and then summed up her thoughts.

What Princess Ankang said is indeed right, for Hou San, the victim, their investigation is a little too little.

Now there is just one more connection with Zhao Si, as long as these two people are linked to Hu Yulou, the relevant clues should be filtered a lot at once.

After such an investigation, perhaps the "way to death" of these two guys is hidden in it.

And thinking of this, a place appeared in the minds of Li Xuan and the two princesses at the same time.

"Cuihua Building."

The two princesses said in unison, and Li Xuan didn't forget to meow.

Zhao Si and Hou San, the two gentlemen, go to Cuihua Tower on weekdays, and they also saw the scene of their appointment on the first day of the palace.

If you ask the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building, you may know a lot about these two people.

It just so happens that they need to go to dinner now, and Cuihua House itself is a restaurant, which can still fill their stomachs.

The group immediately set off, and after leaving Hu Yulou, they went in the direction of Cuihua Building.

The two places were not far away, and they were only a few steps away.

When they arrived at Cuihua Building, they saw a brand new restaurant.

Speaking of which, the smashing of Cuihua Building was the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper to clean up again so soon.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building is really a model of practice makes perfect, not only in the crisis of being often smashed, but also found a way to make money of his own.

At the moment, the craftsmanship of renovating the store is not bad at all.

No matter how many of the things in this are flashy fakes, just in terms of the speed of this construction, even in the capital, I am afraid it is a unique skill.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua House was in a good mood at this time, greeting the guests in front of the door of his restaurant.

After he saw Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Two young ladies, I didn't expect to come back to the shop so soon."

"Today we are open as usual here, of course, referring to the business of the restaurant."

"Have you had lunch before, would you like to come in and try our craft?"

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building invited the two princesses with an attitude like a spring breeze.

It can be clearly noticed that the mood of the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building today is completely different from before.

It seems that it is better to do this serious business to make him happier.

Even if the shop is smashed, it is still a good business to make money, but the shopkeeper of Cuihua House still prefers to run his own restaurant.

This time, they came to ask the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building to inquire about the news, and to solve the problem of lunch by the way.

For the shopkeeper's invitation, the two princesses naturally had no reason to refuse.

When the shopkeeper of Cuihua Lou saw that they were really going to come in for dinner, his attitude became more enthusiastic.

These two young ladies have extraordinary temperaments, and they can afford to bring so many powerful guards when they travel, and they must also be distinguished guests from extraordinary families.

When a distinguished guest comes to the door, how can he be unhappy?

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building took them directly to the third floor.

Zhao Si and Hou San also fought a decisive battle here before.

The two guys were playing with the Guardian Pokémon here, and each sent three Guardians to fight heads-up, but when they were about to decide the winner, the two princesses interrupted the game.

At that time, they finally decided the winner, and Hou San's nursing skills were superior, so that Zhao Si had to admit defeat.

Zhao Si's guardian Zhao Hu, if they hadn't rescued him, he would have died in the hands of the other party.

At that time, the third floor of Tsui Wah Building was destroyed by those gangs in a messy manner.

Now that I've cleaned it up, I found that the third floor is still very stylish.

In particular, if you look out the window from here, you can see the bustling scene of the East Market, which is a very good viewing point.

There is a large table in the middle of the third floor, and then a few smaller tables around it.

Don't look at the ornaments of Cuihua Building, it is not real, from the appearance, it is all fine.

The aesthetics of the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building are very online, and the furniture selected is very matching, which looks pleasing to the eye.

"Two young ladies, my third floor is the best private room in Cuihua Building, and I have wronged the two of you to eat here today, okay?"

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an couldn't help but smile.

"Shopkeeper, you're too polite."

Princess Ankang said with a smile.

"In this way, the shopkeeper, you will show us a few dishes, and bring more of your family's signature dishes."

was a guest invited by Princess Yuan'an in Hu Yulou before, and Princess Ankang, who was a sister, was not good at eating and drinking all the time.

So this meal in Cuihua Building was treated by Princess Ankang.

Although the silver money in Jingyang Palace is not as loose as that in Princess Yuan'an's hand, it is still possible to invite a meal.

Cuihualou is not a black shop for stealing customers, Princess Ankang glanced at the menu hanging near the counter when she came in before, and did not see the outrageous price code, at least she could afford it.

"Okay, the two young ladies will wait a while, and I will arrange it to your satisfaction."

"If there is something that is not satisfied, I will not accept today's meal money!"

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building patted his chest and reassured.

Li Xuan also didn't expect that this guy would be so confident in his own craftsmanship.

Now, he can also understand the mood of the former shopkeeper a little.

Let such a person who likes to run a restaurant, but can't run his own business normally, Zhao Si and Hou San are really evil.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building went down to arrange their meals, while Li Xuan and the two princesses looked at the surrounding scenery.

Although the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building said before that these decorations were to deal with the people who came to smash the store, it can still be seen that a lot of thought has been spent here.

It is estimated that the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building does not have a powerful backstage, so it is regarded as a place to be angry.

But there is a strong background behind Fan Cuihua Building, and it depends on whether those gentlemen dare to come here to mess around.

Although the gentlemen will lose money after the trouble, they will only lose money.

The gentlemen will not lose the money they make because they can't do business.

If it weren't for the shopkeeper here who realized the way and made a profit by placing fakes and cheap decorations in the store, Tsui Wah Lou's business would have been unsustainable.

On that day, the shopkeeper of Cuihua Building took the guys to smash the store, in addition to letting the gentlemen lose more money, it is estimated that he was also venting his resentment.

It didn't take long for the sumptuous dishes to fill the table.

The food in Cuihua Lou is full of color and aroma, and the portions are quite good, not as "exquisite" as the dishes and dim sum in those places in Hu Yulou.

The eunuchs in flowery clothes sat down at a few small tables on the side to eat.

At the big table in the middle, there were only a few people.

In addition to Li Xuan and the two princesses, they are their respective personal palace maids, as well as the two eunuchs who are responsible for recording.

Of course, except for Li Xuan and the two princesses, they were all standing.

Because there are outsiders, Yu'er also has to abide by the rules.

They used to be in Jingyang Palace, and they could do whatever they liked behind closed doors.

But now there are many outsiders, and there are eunuchs in charge of recording on the side, so Yu'er can't have the slightest excess.

Before, Sanxiao had only been reminded by Zhao Feng, so he paid special attention to these rules in front of outsiders.

Even if Princess Yuan'an didn't harm them, it was better not to give someone a handle easily.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Building finally personally brought a drink.

Listening to the shopkeeper, this is their special drink in Cuihua Building, rock molasses.

Li Xuan secretly took a sip first, and found that it was sweet and sour, cold and cold, and the taste was not inferior to milk tea juice at all.

It is even more natural and refreshing on the palate, with less industrial taste.

According to the shopkeeper, this rock molasses dew is his family's ancestral secret recipe, and even this Cuihua Building is also the belongings saved by his grandfather and father selling this rock molasses dew on the street.

The main ingredient of this product is sugarcane juice, which is then prepared with a variety of fruit juices such as black plum juice, honey, pestle juice, fresh orange juice, pomegranate, sling, and ginger.

Rock molasses dew is not only delicious, but it is also beneficial to the body when consumed properly.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua House explained the effects of rock molasses dew and was obviously very proud of it.

Originally, Li Xuan was still a little skeptical about his ancestral secret recipe, but the more he heard what he said, the more true it became, he gradually put away his doubts.

It's no wonder that Li Xuan is suspicious, after all, he comes from that era when people have to make a decision against their ancestors at every turn.

Aside from Li Xuan's life experience, the ancestral secret recipe is infinitely equivalent to a roadside dogskin plaster.

It's just that with the progress of the times, roadside hawking has also kept pace with the times and stepped into the cyberpunk version.

"A few people, please use it slowly, I won't disturb your meal first."

After the shopkeeper finished serving, he was about to say goodbye and leave, when Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an hurriedly stopped him.

"What else do the two young ladies have to say?"

The shopkeeper asked curiously.

The two princesses also got straight to the point and directly inquired about Zhao Si and Hou San.

"Ah......h

The shopkeeper immediately hesitated, and seemed to be a little afraid to speak.

"Shopkeeper, what are you afraid of?"

"Then Hou San is dead, can he come back and bully you?"

"Now that the Hou family is busy, what you say to us will definitely not be passed on."

"My sister and I promise you, can't you do it yet?"

Princess Yuan'an said hurriedly, for fear that the shopkeeper would not dare to say what she knew because of fear.

But even if Princess Yuan'an said so, the shopkeeper was still a little hesitant, and his mouth was haha.

"The matter of those two young masters, the little ones don't dare to talk nonsense......"

"Even if Hou Gongzi is gone, the Hou family is still there."

"Now is the time when people are not happy, and I can't feel comfortable at this time, isn't that giving people eye medicine?"

The shopkeeper apologized to the two princesses.

Princess Yuan'an couldn't help but be a little anxious when she saw that he refused to speak.

At this time, Princess Ankang silently pressed Princess Yuan'an's hand and gave her a look.

Then Princess Ankang smiled at the shopkeeper, and said:

"Since the shopkeeper doesn't want to talk about these topics, forget it."

"But, I wonder if you can bother the shopkeeper for a moment and tell us about these signature dishes?"

"It's the first time I've seen some of the dishes."

Princess Ankang said sincerely.

"This ......"

After a little hesitation, the shopkeeper looked at Princess Ankang's expectant gaze, and finally agreed.

"Actually, it's just some common dishes, let's talk about this ......"

Then the shopkeeper began to introduce his signature dishes.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper is still very proud of his own store.

On the side, Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an were also very supportive.

After a while, there was no need for others to ask, and the shopkeeper began to talk endlessly.

The atmosphere on the table gradually became more lively, and the shopkeeper, who was still a little restrained, slowly opened the conversation, and gradually talked about the business of Cuihua Building from the dishes on the table, and then inevitably talked about Zhao Si and Hou San.

"The two young ladies don't know, it's not easy to beg for food in this East Market."

"Throw a stone down from here, and nine times out of ten, you can hit some big doors."

The shopkeeper's honeydew hurt in his throat, and he couldn't help but pour bitter water when he talked about the difficulty of doing business in the past few years, and the rock molasses dew in the cup was poured cup after cup.

His Cuihua Building has become the current "Appointment Resort", all thanks to Zhao Si and Hou San.

Therefore, the bitterness in the belly of the shopkeeper is mostly about them.

Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an echoed on the side, crying out for the shopkeeper.

From the shopkeeper's mouth, they heard a lot of hurtful things that these two bastards had done.

But these are not the answers they want.

Seeing that the emotions were already in place, Princess Ankang asked at the right time:

"Shopkeeper, have the two of them done anything bad recently, such as killing the girl on Flower Street."

The shopkeeper put down his glass and glanced at the two princesses.

"It seems that the two young ladies already know, so I don't have to hide it."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and thought:

"We know something, and you won't hide it."

But now the shopkeeper wants to say, and they naturally have no reason to stop it.

"About a month ago, the two of them ransomed a girl in Hu Yulou, but they died that night."

"Not many people know about this matter."

"Later, it was the two of them who had a fight with me because of this incident, and I listened to a few words."

"The two have always been at odds, but for some reason they bought the girl in a joint venture, and later the two had a dispute over the money."

"I only remember that it was Hou San who lost the battle later, and then compensated him for the part of the money that Zhao Si paid for the girl's redemption, that is, Hou San paid the full amount to the girl to redeem herself."

"But by that time, the girl was already dead."

The shopkeeper couldn't help but shake his head when he said this.

"Two young ladies, don't look at the flowers on this flower street, a sign of prosperity, but this flower is blooming on thousands of corpses, can you not go again in the future."

The shopkeeper saw that Princess Ankang and Princess Yuan'an were both relatively simple little girls, so they admonished.

If it was someone else, he wouldn't be puzzled.

Princess Ankang remembered what the old woman said earlier, and couldn't help asking:

"Is this kind of thing frequent on Flower Street?"

The shopkeeper looked at the two princesses silently for a while, and then replied:

"Out of the east gate of the capital, there is a place called Sanligou, which is the nearest mass grave."

After a pause, the shopkeeper added.

"It is also the largest mass grave around the capital."

Hearing this, the three little ones and Princess Yuan'an were all in their hearts.

This time, Princess Ankang couldn't ask the sentence "Does no one care?" ”。

Because, now she understands why no one cares.

With the huge benefits that Flower Street can provide, the lives of these hard-working women are nothing.

To a certain extent, the government is the biggest promoter of Sanligou.

At this moment, Princess Ankang was ashamed of her status as a princess.

Princess Yuan'an on the side is estimated to be in a similar mood.

The shopkeeper told everything he knew, and when he saw the reaction of the two princesses, he knew that they had got the answers they wanted, so he left the third floor under the pretext that he was going to be busy with the business of the store.

Just when he patted his face before he walked down the third floor, regained his spirits, and made a smile, he always looked a little sad.

Even if the shopkeeper is doing what he likes, he will encounter all kinds of difficult problems that will make him exhausted.

But as long as this Cuihua Building is still there, his enthusiasm for doing business should still be undiminished.

They continued to eat with vegetables, but they were probably full, and neither the food nor the rock molasses were as good as they had been at the beginning.

But at least the meal wasn't for nothing.

They knew from the shopkeeper of Cuihua Lou that Zhao Si and Hou San had ransomed a girl from Hu Yulou more than a month ago.

However, the girl died that night.

According to the shopkeeper of Tsui Wah Building, the girl was played to death.

But as for the details of that night, I'm afraid only Zhao Si and Hou San know best.

Now that Hou San is dead, Zhao Si is the only one who still knows the truth.

"Sister, after noon, let's go to Zhao's mansion."

Princess Ankang put down her chopsticks and lost her interest in eating.

Princess Yuan'an nodded silently and agreed to the proposal.

They didn't want to wait any longer, the truth was so close to them, close enough to be within reach.

As soon as it was past noon, the group settled the bill and left Cuihua Building.

The Zhao Mansion is located in Xuanyangfang next to the East Market, and it won't take long to walk over.

This time, with Li Xuan and Xu Lang leading the way, they quickly found the place.

Xu Lang stepped forward to report, but was driven out by the porter without accident.

Zhao Mansion is not a nobody who can come to visit at will.

Xu Lang, who had been instructed by the two princesses, immediately showed the sign of Ouchi and explained the identities of the two princesses.

The concierge of the big families is at least literate.

This time, the porter didn't dare to care whether the sign was real or fake, so he hurriedly went in to report.

Not long after, Zhao Jingcheng actually took his wife out to greet him in person.

Seeing Zhao Jingcheng come out in person, Li Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"This guy is pretty polite."

As soon as Zhao Jingcheng came out, he shook his heart again and again, and said happily:

"The arrival of the two young ladies in the cheap land really makes the humble house shine."

Zhao Jingcheng took three steps and made two steps, hurriedly stepped forward, and saluted respectfully.

Mrs. Zhao also blessed her on the side and saluted silently.

Obviously, both of them already knew the identities of the two princesses.

"Two young ladies, don't stand in front of the door, please come in quickly."

Zhao Jingcheng led to the door of the Zhao Mansion, although he shouted the two young ladies in his mouth, but his attention was all on Princess Yuan'an.

"Oh, it turned out to be because of Yuan'an's relationship."

Li Xuan immediately understood, no wonder Zhao Jingcheng was so enthusiastic.

Princess Yuan'an is the first time to see this Zhao Jingcheng.

Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, he just nodded indifferently.

Li Xuan could clearly feel that Princess Yuan'an's mood suddenly deteriorated.

"Sister, let's go in."

Princess Yuan'an ignored Zhao Jingcheng, but turned her head to Princess Ankang and said.

Princess Ankang smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Jingcheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately changed his attitude naturally.

"Come on, pave the way."

Zhao Jingcheng shouted loudly, and immediately there were wooden planks brought by the Zhao Mansion's family members, which were erected on the steps and thresholds at the door.

"Two young ladies, Zhao is not well prepared, please forgive me."

Zhao Jingcheng put on a smiling face and said sincerely.

This time, he didn't dare to despise Princess Ankang anymore.
