Chapter Forty-Nine: The Wine Smells But the Alleys Are Shallow

Steward Ning thought that he had worshiped that person as his father-in-law, and said that the imperial city knew everything farther, at least he would not hide it from him in the building.

I didn't think about it, but I felt that everything was strange, and I felt like walking with a lantern in the fog.

I can only see some scenes around me, and I still need to be guided by someone from a high place when I walk.

Looking at Cheng Yun again, he is worse than himself, he doesn't even have a lantern, but he can always run all the way, as if he thinks that the direction he is going in is right, and he doesn't care about the feelings of people in high places.

Chengyun compared the expenditure and the amount of use, and found an unreasonable amount.

There is not much money involved in the payment, and it is estimated that other people do not care about it after reading it, and the use is also reasonable, so it is estimated that most people will skip it.

But Cheng Yun, who had read Zhang Zhutou's booklet, was keenly aware of the unreasonable.

List of expenditures: In a few months, about five hundred spirit stones will be used to buy some high-grade ingredients.

In the use of the degree, it is also specifically noted that the qin girl Ji Ying will feast with the qin servants and guards in her attic every month, which is considered to reward everyone's hard work.

But Brother Wan never said that.

Ji Ying cares about everyone, and only once a month, not as ordinary as it is written in the booklet.

A meal is less than a hundred spirit stones at most, and according to what Brother Wan said, he will often give gifts to everyone, and the amount of use is also written, but the cost is not right.

A talented girl on the Liming List, who needs to make a profit on this?

Cheng Yun recalled everyone's evaluation of Ji Ying and felt that it was impossible.

But where did the extra money go?

After a few comparisons, there are only a few problems here, and what is even stranger is that these problems only appeared five years ago, lasted for about half a year, and then returned to normal.

Cheng Yun thought for a while, Ji Ying arrived at Yunqi five years ago, and her piano skills were able to be brought into play, all the way to the second place on the piano list, and she became famous for a while.

It's a pity that two hours have arrived at this moment, and Steward Ning urges himself to get up and come back tomorrow.

Not in a hurry at this moment, Cheng Yun apologized, thinking too much.

Seeing that Cheng Yun was like this, Steward Ning no longer shy away from it and hurriedly asked:

"What clues do you have?"

Cheng Yun secretly said in his heart that Ning was in charge of things, and he was so delicate that every time he was involved in Ji Ying's case, he seemed to be no longer in Linglong.

I had to smile bitterly and say truthfully:

"Even if there are clues in the investigation of the case, it is difficult to say, even if Steward Ning helps a lot."

Knowing that it was his own gaffe, Steward Ning sighed and said forgiveness, the relationship with Ji Ying in his heart is not easy to talk about and luck, it can only be said that the pressure given in the building is too great.

Cheng Yun expressed his understanding, but said in his heart that such an excuse was hard to believe, and Manager Ning really cared about the case.

So Cheng Yun had a guess that the relationship between Steward Ning and the Qin girl Ji Ying was by no means just acquaintances.

But Brother Wan has never mentioned it, it shouldn't be that kind of relationship between men and women, as for whether it is related to this case, you have to find out for yourself.

After separating from Steward Ning, Chengyun found Senior Yu, who was bored and wandering around.

As for why he could find it, because Senior Yu was strolling around the attic before, and as soon as he saw Cheng Yun, he hurriedly ran over, looking forward to seeing if Cheng Yun could find any clues.

There was no additional gain from the two exchanges, and Cheng Yun planned to go back to Ji Ying's attic to ask Brother Wan again.

I have to bring two pots of good wine and ask Senior Yu if there is one, the one in Qingxu Lou is too expensive.

The same spirit wine sells five spirit stones outside, and you get fifteen spirit stones in the Qingxu Building.

Senior Yu glanced at Chengyun, do you think I look like a drinker.

You can't see the sky in the building, but there is a sundial to see the time, it's not dark yet, it's too late to go out and buy a pot.

After all, it's not that the guests drink with each other, and they go out to buy wine and come back to drink with Brother Wan, which is considered a friend visiting a friend, and Qingxu Lou can't care about it.

It has been nearly four days since Qing Xu Lou came out again, and the news of the death of the piano girl Ji Ying seems to have spread outside, and Qing Xu Lou doesn't seem to care.

Outside the building, some people have spontaneously set up a gorgeous shed, and put the portrait of the girl Ji Ying, and many people spontaneously bought lotus flowers to put them on.

It is estimated that the general master has already begun to drive people out at this moment, but Qing Xulou did the opposite and sent someone to maintain order.

He also spent a lot of money to let the people who took advantage of this momentum to sell flowers and paintings leave the Qingxu Building, and the Qingxu Building specially hired dozens of people to sell all kinds of objects at a reasonable price.

Chengyun was amazed to see it, and at the same time learned a lot.

This is not a kind of control of the subtleties of people's hearts.

If you look closely, it is the people who came to mourn and saw that someone else bought flowers and gave them to them, but they didn't bring them, and there happened to be people selling them around.

Looking at the price, it is three times as much as two miles away.

There are only two kinds of people at the moment.

One is to endure the disgust in my heart and buy it, and the other is to turn around and leave.

But the same is true for those who buy and those who don't.

The pure feelings of condolence and sorrow in my heart have been destroyed at this moment, and they are no longer pure.

Even thoughtful people will suspect that Qing Xulou took this opportunity to make another profit, and he was even more hated.

Therefore, there will be no trouble after doing it right from the beginning, even if there will be all kinds of slander from people with intentions, but Qingxulou has been invincible since the beginning.

Admiring in his heart, Cheng Yun walked into a wine shop and asked the shopkeeper how much a pot of spirit wine was.

Ten Spirit Stones?

Isn't it a five-spirit stone two miles away?

The shopkeeper said with a sad face:

"Miss Hime-kage doesn't like to drink, but most of the people who like Ms. Hime-kage want to have a drink at this moment."

He also pointed to a piece of land specially marked on the left side of the door, where Cheng Yun had smelled a strong aroma of wine since he came in.

"I usually buy two pots, one pot for the guests to drink by themselves, and one pot for Miss Ji Ying."

The meaning is obvious, if you don't drink it, forget it, everyone else has poured a pot there, you don't pour?

Cheng Yun smiled and was about to leave, but when he thought of the song he heard in front of the attic that day, he felt a little more sad in his heart, and bought a pot to sprinkle at the door of the wine shop.

Watching everyone leave in front of the spiritual shed, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

When the shopkeeper and guests behind him saw the young man in official uniform, he looked down on him, but at this moment, the young man's demeanor did not seem to be fake.

The shopkeeper felt that he had gone too far, and he didn't say much about whether everyone was buying or leaving, but most of the people in the official mansion in the imperial city were domineering and disgusting.

The boy was not.

So he went back and took three jugs of good wine, called the boy in, opened a pot and drank a few glasses together, and took the remaining two pots back.

Cheng Yun turned his head in surprise and saw that the shopkeeper had a kind face, so he didn't plan to shirk and sat down steadily.

After chatting with each other, I realized that although Miss Ji Ying didn't like to drink, the piano attendant Mo Long often sneaked out to drink a few glasses.

Then the angry girl Ji Ying will pull her face flushed, and shout why Sister Ji is not the first piano waiter Mo Long to go back, which is also a good story around.

As for the ten spirit stones and a pot of wine, it scares the little catcher.

As an apology, two jugs of good wine don't cost money.

Although Cheng Yun understands, it is not clear why he is so hateful.

The shopkeeper smiled:

"Little brother has just come to the Imperial City, right? Not even a native? ”

Cheng Yun didn't look moved on the surface, but he was actually shocked in his heart, and his accent performance should be no problem.

Asking for advice, the shopkeeper waved his hand and said no, first drank a glass, and then pointed to the sign on the left side of the door, which was written the name of the wine shop and the signature spirit wine.

"The ancestor has a good skill in brewing wine, although he can practice, but his qualifications are dull, and he has barely cultivated a monk in the Six Realms of Forging Bones.

The shopkeeper pushed Chengyun a cup, watched the little brother drink it, and continued with a smile:

"If the business is good, it will naturally attract people's attention, if it is an ordinary gangster, it is good to report to the official, and I am afraid that some things will not be reported to the official."

Sigh and take another drink, signaling the little brother to be casual.

"For example, today's sign is on the left, tomorrow an official will come and say that it is not right, and the boss said that it will be on the right, and I will be fined ten spirit stones, and I will enter the store to drink a pot of free wine."

Seeing that the little brother was surprised, he didn't speak, knowing that the little brother was a smart man.

"It's not that I haven't said it, but it's all the way, and I've got a lot of it."

Speaking of his own distress, he was curious about why the little brother was here, since he had just arrived in the imperial city, he shouldn't have such admiration for Miss Ji Ying.

didn't hide it, Cheng Yun generously said that he was here to investigate the case.

The shopkeeper and the surrounding guests laughed, saying that the little brother had drunk too much and was talking nonsense, but it was also good to take it as his ambition.

If the little brother really comes to investigate the case, everyone will be convinced, of course, the premise is not to be like other officials.

After two or three cups, Cheng Yun felt that the taste of wine was quite strong, and he didn't suppress the conversation for a while, and slapped Sang Chawei's waist card on the table.

"Look, isn't it Sanchawei, who still doesn't believe me?"

Everyone in the tavern was a drinker, just barely drunk, and when they saw the real Sanchawei waist card, they were all shocked to dispel the wine.

In the past, it was common to see officials and errands, and there was no official position, but Sang Chawei was a real adult with an official position, and it was not something that ordinary people like them could make trouble.

So everyone hurriedly got up, but at this moment, they didn't know whether to kneel or not, and froze in place for a while.

Chengyun sensed that everyone was different, and used spiritual power to disperse the wine, and he didn't know how to do it for a while, sighed and withdrew his waist card, and asked the shopkeeper how much money was a pot, and he paid for three pots.

The shopkeeper said that he didn't want money, he didn't want money, and he thought in his heart that he didn't come here from the officials in the past to see if he should pay more money?

Cheng Yun sighed, glanced at the price card, but could distinguish He Jiu, paid the spirit stone and turned around and went out.

When the little adult went out, everyone was relieved, and they were speechless, and the shopkeeper came back to his senses at this moment, remembering that the little adult said that he was here to investigate the case of Miss Ji Ying.

I regret it in my heart, but I don't know how to save it when I think about it carefully.

Everyone drank a few glasses in a dull state, and the sound of conversation gradually began.

First of all, some trivial things so as not to be embarrassed, but somewhere someone mentioned it:

"If this little ... My lord, how the girl died will definitely come to light, and the truth will be revealed. ”

There was silence in the wine shop, and no one refuted.

Outside the door, Cheng Yun stood in front of the spirit shed and watched people come and go, his mind went back and forth from the wine shop, and his whole body was shocked, and he went straight into the eight realms of qi refining blood.

The concealed cultivation also took advantage of the situation to enter the realm of Qi refining blood, which was really pressed in the consummation and was not on the list, which was easy to arouse suspicion.
