Chen Wen and Wang San went out of the yamen, dressed in civilian clothes, and went all the way to the north of the city, while the rest of the people acted in groups.

The two of them looked along the middle straight road in the city, and on both sides of the road were the places where the most crowds gathered, and the small stalls and vendors were clustered, and if the gangster really wanted to provoke trouble and cause panic, this was the most suitable place.

The two of them secretly patrolled for a long time without moving, the streets were quiet and orderly, and the shops on both sides of the road were busy with their own business, as usual.

Chen Wen stopped all the way, he was an acquaintance in this area, as long as he was not a businessman in the past, people who had lived in the north of the city for a long time knew that Chen Wen, the nephew of Cheng in Bencheng County, was the fast catcher of the yamen, and he had been thinking about Miss Miao in the drunken flower building.

Last year, it was rumored that the man had sworn that he would redeem himself for Miss Miao, and during that time, the rumors were full of color and excitement, and I heard that they all alarmed Lord Cheng Huang of the county, but in the end, I don't know why there was no news, and that period of the past gradually fell silent.

In this world, it is not a big deal for a powerful dignitary to fall in love with a certain Qingqi in the Qinglou and marry him as a concubine. If after tying the knot, you can still have a harmonious family, a husband and a wife, and occasionally there are some interesting little things about poetry and singing, and you can't say that it will be a wind and an Athens in the end, and it will be praised for a long time.

If you really want to say that Lord Chenghuang of the county has no opinions, as for what damages his reputation as an uncle as an official, it is pure nonsense. The pity is that Chen Wen's father died early, leaving himself and his mother to rely on each other, his mother's life is hard, and Chen Wen is a very filial child.

In Miao Shudie's heart, Chen Wen is not the man she intended, but she has been taken care of for many years, admitting that he has done things openly and secretly, even if sometimes some things are considered major events related to the name and festival for ordinary women, but she is a woman in a green building, how can others care? In the end, she is just leaving herself alone to grieve.

Miao Shudie's thoughts about Chen Wen are not complicated, some are just grateful from the heart, and have nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

The man she yearns for in her mind doesn't have to be Yushu Linfeng and knowledgeable, but at least he can talk to herself.

This is a pride and conceit that belongs to her own mind, and it is also the last bottom line and defense that she only guards for herself as a Qingqier and a woman in a green house.

Dusty women are often involuntary and drift with the tide, let alone be the tide maker.

Although Chen Wen is cynical, he seems to be a fool on the surface, and he treats people in private, especially on official affairs, as if he is a different person.

No, the two of them have been patrolling along the street for a long time, and the fat man Wang San next to him has lazy eyes, yawning, and a weak beating, how to look at how incompetent.

Chen Wen still followed the rules, his eyes were shining, for fear that he would accidentally look away and let that villain do anything wrong in the city. Stir up the wind and rain.

Wang San stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, his face was red in the sunset, he sneezed, and said tentatively to Chen Wen: "Brother Chen, it's almost time, let's go have a drink?"

Chen Wen raised his head and saw that the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the two of them had been patrolling for a long time, but their mouths were already dry. He subconsciously muttered, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he reached out to pull the wine gourd on his waist, but he didn't want to touch the air, and then realized that when he left the city in the morning, he threw the gourd and the wine to the janitor monkey.

Chen Wen frowned slightly, there was a drunken flower building not far in front of him, nodded thoughtfully, and followed Wang San to the wine shop on the corner.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant raised up, and when he saw that it were two guests in civilian clothes, he didn't pay much attention to it, and shouted at the shopkeeper and asked him to greet the customers quickly.

The shopkeeper was busy wiping the table, and when he heard the shopkeeper shouting to himself, he hurriedly threw the white cloth over his shoulder, and walked forward with neat steps. Came to the side of the guest just about to hunch over, suddenly found that the two guests in front of him were very familiar, take a closer look, to see the appearance of the person who came, the heart was happy, and then he was going to open his mouth and report loudly, "Brother Chen, why are you here today?", before the words came out, he got a sharp look, the shopkeeper understood, hurriedly stopped, stretched out his hand and bent over, and deliberately vacated the window position of the drunken flower building for them.

As soon as Chen Wen waved his hand, he didn't need to speak, and the shopkeeper understood and turned away with a slight smile.

Well, it looks like it's still the same.

The shopkeeper saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curled, stretched out his hand, the shopkeeper hurriedly came to the counter, the shopkeeper whispered to him, and outsiders didn't know what he said, the shopkeeper just nodded again and again.

After the two of them sat down, Wang San laughed evilly, "Brother Chen, the second child in this shop is more knowledgeable and knows how to find a good place for us." "Haha...

Chen Wen pursed his lips and looked sideways at the red mansion diagonally outside the window, his eyes complicated. Only from that day that after declaring to the public that he was drunk and talking nonsense, he no longer had the face to make excuses and ran this way.

Seeing that Chen Wen didn't speak, Wang San knew that he was afraid that he had poked Brother Chen's sadness again, so he reached out and patted Chen Wen's shoulder, changed the conversation and said, "Brother Chen, do you and Fourth Brother Zhang both have the intention of hiding from me in an accident?"

Chen Wen turned his head and looked at Wang San, pretending to have a puzzled expression.

"You two deliberately hide it from me, usually forget it, but I'm not really stupid, in the morning, when I saw the look of the team leader, I knew that things were not simple, otherwise it would have come to this point, Brother Liu can't have no figure by now, Brother Chen, you said that the team leader will be fine, right?"

Chen Wen frowned, only after the witch curse five years ago, the imperial court opened a market in Jiming Mountain, and the barter of Miao people was well documented. For many years, the Miao Ling area has been stable and stable, and in that tragic disaster, all the people of the Five Immortal Sect established by the leading Black Miao were killed by the old immortals of Chongxuanguan, and the current Miao tribe are all honest people who keep their duties, even if there are individual three or two kittens, with Brother Liu's skills, they should be fine.

Seeing that Chen Wen didn't speak, Wang San knocked lightly on the table, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, what do you want?"

Chen Wen smiled slightly: "What can Brother Liu do, don't forget, he is the best catcher in our Fallen Leaf City, and he is also the number one in the top row in the Prison Mansion." ”

Speaking of this, both of them are full of smiles and honor.

Wang San smiled, but he didn't forget to get down to business, squinted his eyes and continued: "Brother Chen, you haven't told me what you're hiding from me?"

Chen Wen looked at the fat man in front of him, and sighed in his heart, although they are his own brothers and they are working together, but this matter is a matter of confidentiality, the fewer people who know, the better, and it is good for him not to tell him.

He snorted coldly and said: "What can happen, but he is a master of using poison, the team leader guesses that it may be related to Miao Village, so we should be more vigilant here." ”

Chen Wen took a sip of tea, turned his head and looked around, the wine shop was doing well, and most of the tables were full of guests.

Towards the end of the Shen period, the streets were crowded with pedestrians.

During that time, Chen Wen liked to find a reason to come here, and used this small wine shop as a resting place for the reason of patrolling the streets.

After coming and going, the shopkeeper also figured out his taste, so that when he got to the back, Chen Wenren hadn't come yet, so he had prepared some wine and food in advance. It wasn't until later that there was a stall that there were fewer comes, and the shopkeeper didn't prepare in advance, but the dishes he usually likes to eat will probably not be forgotten in the wine store in his life.

It was also thanks to that time that the wine shop made a lot of money by relying on some gimmicks. As for those interesting stories, aren't they all the things that people talk about after dinner?

Wang San was already hungry, reached out and took the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, one cup was pushed to Chen Wen, and he drank his cup as soon as he drank it, sighed comfortably, smacked his mouth and exclaimed: "It's still better than wine, I always feel that it quenches your thirst better than tea, right, Brother Chen?"

Chen Wen squinted at him, holding his glass of wine with a suspicious face, "I said, why did you two guys see the rapid increase in alcohol in the Fuke Building that day, and the relationship is to drink wine as tea?"

Wang San was stunned for a moment, touched his head and smirked, "Brother Chen, look at what you are talking about, even if I really have this idea, I don't have this silver, right?

Chen Wen put down his wine glass and asked curiously: "Fourth Brother Zhang is okay to say, after all, he is a family person, but you are a single king, where did you go with all the monthly salaries?"

Wang San was serious, holding the bowl and began to eat the food, with the posture of a starving ghost, "What else can I do, just those two money, the monthly food expenses alone are not enough." ”

"Let go of your mother's fart, Wang Fatty, although you say that you eat a lot, but the three meals a day are either rubbing me and Fourth Brother Zhang, or beating the autumn wind of other guys, you tell me, at the end of this day, do you have a time to pay for your own meal?"

Wang San only buried his head in eating, raised his head when he heard this, his face was full of flattery, and said: "Isn't it that Brother Chen and everyone are generous and hospitable, if I don't go, won't I look down on my brother? ”

These words were full of righteousness, as if someone was forcing him with a knife.

Seeing that he was still so skinless and faceless, Chen Wen said angrily: "Hurry up and eat your food, can't stop your mouth or what?"

Wang San comprehended, thinking that this meal was stable, and poured two glasses of wine diligently like a dog's leg, raised his glass to Chen Wen and said, "Come, Brother Chen, let's go?"

Each of them picked up their wine glasses, and the wine glasses touched the wine glasses, and both of them drank it all.

Wang San was fast and happy, Chen Wen had no appetite, and simply moved a few chopsticks, pretending to be in his heart.

As the sky darkened, pedestrians on the streets outside the liquor store were still rushing to and fro, each busy with their own things.

Chen Wen frowned slightly, and outside the window diagonally in the direction of the main entrance of the Zuihualou, there was a pair of men and women, the man was in a green shirt, with a slender figure, and the woman was a little girl, dressed as a maid, and was short, it seemed that the two seemed to be talking, and they didn't know what to say.

Wang San saw Chen Wen put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and found that he was staring out of the window with a puzzled expression, and when he looked at it, he happened to see Li Yunfeng and the little maid Cui'er at the main entrance of the Zuihualou.

Wang San wrapped the food in his mouth, chewed and said, "Brother Chen, isn't that the little maid next to Miss Miao?

Chen Wen shook his head slightly, "The face is very raw, I don't know it." ”

The young boy in the area of Fallen Leaf City, he knows which guys like to go to the Drunken Flower Building, and he has never seen the young man in the distance.

Chen Wen was puzzled, and was secretly guessing the identity of the strange young man in his heart, and over there in the wine shop, the shopkeeper walked over with a wine gourd full of fine wine.

Seeing Chen Wen staring at the main entrance of the Zuihualou, the shopkeeper frowned, looked out the window, and couldn't help laughing softly: "It's him!"

Chen Wen turned his head, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Do you know that person?"

Seeing his solemn expression, the shopkeeper nodded and said, "I can't say I know, at noon today, that son was having a meal at the wine shop and chatting a few words." ”

Chen Wen raised his chin, "Let's talk about it." ”

The shopkeeper held the wine gourd in both hands and said slowly: "That prince claims to be from the Jingyu Dynasty in the east, and he said that he is a scholar who traveled to my dynasty to study and study, and he also asked me if there are any interesting places in our generation before. ”

Chen Wen tapped his fingers on the table and said to himself, "Jing Yu Dynasty?".

"Do you know what that man's name is?"

"I don't know this, since the son didn't say it, I didn't want to ask directly, he only said that he came here to travel, and I told him that in a few days it would be the birthday meeting of the old gentleman of Yunding Mountain, and the son was interested, and it seemed that he was going to go. ”

The shopkeeper looked out the window and saw a little maid standing next to the young boy in a green shirt, and continued to speak: "That boy looked young, and his words were politely tight, when I was chatting with him, the little maid happened to come to the wine shop to sell wine, and I also mentioned it to the boy in passing, I didn't expect the two of them to know each other at this time?"

Chen Wen was surprised, how could a traveling bachelor who called himself Jing Yu go to the Qinglou at the expense of his reputation?

A few days ago, Tianli Village had just been killed, and the time made sense, although the team leader guessed that the murderer was very likely to be a Miao man who could poison, but this person was suspicious and must be investigated!

Chen Wen saw that the guy outside the window was about to leave, glanced at Wang San opposite, his eyes signaled, Wang San understood, drank the last glass of wine, wiped his mouth, and said that his stomach was swollen, so he had to go first to make it easier.

Seeing Chen Wen get up, the shopkeeper reached out and handed over the wine gourd full of fine wine.

Chen Wen was slightly stunned and said, "This is... ？”

The shopkeeper was full of smiles, and said: "This is our shopkeeper's order, he said that Brother Chen has only come back for a long time, and the wine gourd on his waist was given to Li Liu, so I asked me to prepare a pot of wine, which should be given to Brother Chen." ”

Chen Wen was curious, when he went out of the East City Gate with the team leader in the early morning, he casually gave the thin monkey a pot of wine that he promised to owe him, how could the shopkeeper of the wine store know about this?

Seeing his puzzled face, the shopkeeper explained: "Brother Chen, before you came, Li Liu came here to drink a few glasses, but seeing him scratching his liver and lungs, he didn't seem to be very happy, so he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows." ”

Chen Wen glanced at the drunken flower building, and then he was relieved, no wonder he didn't see the thin monkey on duty when he returned to the city, and he felt that the guy was lazy here, but he took a long detour.

He reached out and took the wine gourd, raising his eyebrows, "Scratch the liver and scratch the lungs?"

The shopkeeper didn't know if he knew the inside story, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and said vaguely: "Li Liuye rubbed while drinking, saying that his body was a little itchy, and everyone joked in private." ”

Chen Wen smiled, reached out and took out a few taels of silver from his waist, "Thank you for me." ”

The shopkeeper took the silver and nodded repeatedly.

At the counter of the wine store, the shopkeeper smiled knowingly.

Chen Wen took the wine gourd, raised his hand at the counter, said hello, and turned out of the wine shop.

This leprosy monkey, lazy for three days and two ends, is not young, has a thick skin, and has nothing to do to run here to see the girl is coming.

Li Yunfeng was in a good mood when he came out of the drunken flower building, humming a little song all the way to the east of the city, he was rich at this time, and he would not be a thief if he went to Fukelou again, by the way, let's see if there is a night market in this fallen leaf city, or a curfew.

More than a dozen steps away behind him, a fat man in civilian clothes hung quietly behind him, and Li Yunfeng was unaware.

At the east gate of the city of Fallen Leaves, there was a horse riding into the city, wearing a public soap coat, which was Zhang Si who had gone to the Jiming Mountain Market before.
