Chapter Forty-Eight

"Friends above, if you want to listen to the music, you can walk through the main gate in a bright and bright way, why sneak around?" Yan Ran's slender hand swiped on the surface of the zheng, and the elegant sound of the zheng sounded again.

"I saw that Miss Yanran had a visitor, but she didn't want to miss the sound of the zither that had been around the beam for three days, so she made this decision and asked the girl not to be surprised. Tong Bo was lying on the roof tiles, deliberately making some slight noises.

"Oh? Presumably, Mr. is also a person who likes music and rhythm, I wonder how Yan Ran played the song just now?" Yan Ran still lowered her head and played her string zheng, her voice was as pleasant as her zheng.

"This is a test of teaching. Tong Bo on the roof smiled: "This is the state of etiquette of ancient famous songs, this is a compulsory course for Taixue, and it is a 'rite' word in my country; ”

"I can't imagine that Childe is also a person who is proficient in music and rhythm, why don't you have a cup of tea in the house?" Yan Ran still focused on playing the zither.

"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the order. Not long after, a maid led Tong Bo into the house, removed the teacup that Yin Ying had drunk, and offered new tea.

"Childe, please be seated. The maid stretched out her hand towards Tong Bo's empty futon, and then exited the door.

Tong Bo walked with a footstep and came to the edge of the futon with his head held high, and made a series to Yanran first, before slowly bending down and kneeling on the futon with his eyes slightly closed.

The two of them sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke, and only the faint sound of the zither was left in the air, and time seemed to freeze.

Twenty breaths later, Yan Ran finished playing the song, and the intoxicating smile finally appeared on the original cold face: "Yan Ran looks at the son's polite manners and extraordinary bearing, which is very inconsistent with the cloth clothes of the son; ”

"Miss Yanran is really discerning. Tong Bo shook his head helplessly, tore off the fake beard and put it on his belt, and said with a smile: "But this cloth can't be changed at present, I hope the girl will forgive me." ”

Childe laughed, Yanran didn't mean to look down on Buyi again. Yan Ran chuckled: "It's just that looking at the son dressed in cloth and dressed in disguise, it's not just to listen to Yan Ran's music." ”

"If you have the intention to pick flowers and flowers do not bloom, you have no intention to plant willows and willows. Tong Bo picked up the teacup and put it in his nose, sniffed it gently, and took a sip: "Bosom friends are hard to find, and wonderful sounds are also hard to find." No matter what the purpose of coming, it is not worth the trip to be able to smell the wonderful sound of Miss Yanran today. ”

"It's hard to find a good bosom friend, and it's hard to find a good sound. Yan Ran looked approving: "The realm of the prince is a little higher than the previous person who was full of philistines." ”

"In all things, there is nothing wrong with the silver itself, but it is their master who is at fault. Tong Bo said with a smile: "Looking down, this person is terminally ill, and it is in vain for the girl to try her best to use the state song of etiquette to point out to her." ”

"I didn't expect Childe to see it. Yanran showed her smile: "Childe wants to ask anything, just ask?"

"Does this person Li Rat often come here? I heard that he has spent a lot of money in this music shop several times?" Tong Bo saw that the time was ripe, so he asked the doubts in his heart.

"Is that the thief-eyed guard of the Jingwei Mansion?" Yanran smiled: "It's not a lot of money, but every time you come, there will still be a few taels of silver." ”

"Girl, do you remember who exactly this Li Rat rewarded, and how much silver was rewarded?" Tong Bo looked at Yanran with a solemn face, for fear that he would not get the answer he wanted.

"In the past month, Xiaocui has eight taels, Feng Wan has twelve taels, Yanran has thirty taels, and Misu has one hundred and fifty taels. Yan Ran pondered intently, constantly recalling the situation of Li Rat in her mind.

"That is to say, Li Rat gave as much as two hundred taels of silver in a month, and his small guard only paid three taels of silver a month, where did this silver come from?" Tong Bo pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Who is Misu?"

"Miss Misu is the ace musician of Infernal Music Workshop, her Zheng skills are extensive and wide-ranging, and Yanran is not as good as herself. Yanran also said that Misu also had a look of respect.

"Girls don't need to be presumptuous. Tong Bo said with a smile: "In my humble opinion, the girl just has an indisputable heart, otherwise it is not known who will kill the deer, but since Li Rat has rewarded this Misu girl with so many silver taels, they must be very familiar." ”

"No, Miss Misu hates this man, and no matter how much he rewards, Miss Misu has never seen him alone. Speaking of Li Rat, Yan Ran's face also showed a rare look of disgust.

"Hey, it seems that this Li Rat is really disgusting enough to disgust women, Misu, Jade Rabbit, I'm afraid even this Yanran girl has been harassed by him. Tong Bo laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this: "Then which money house did the silver taels he rewarded come from?"

"The largest Sanshun money village in the country. Yan Ran took out the silver ticket rewarded by Li Rat from the silver box and handed it to Tong Bo: "That's it, his silver is from an unknown source, Yan Ran will not use it without permission." ”

"Hmm, this is the fire seal silver?" Tong Bo carefully examined the silver ticket and exclaimed, "Girl, this silver must not be used without permission." ”

"What is Fire Seal Silver?" Yan Ran hadn't paid attention to it before, he took the silver ticket from Tong Bo's hand and examined it carefully, only to see a small piece of fire-like imprint in the lower right corner of the silver ticket.

"As far as I know, the fire seal silver is a special silver ticket issued by the household department for the purchase of various internal items, such as errand clothes, account books, rice paper, and other items, and these items are supplied by several merchants designated by the imperial court.

They can only trade with fire-stamped silver. Tong Bo pointed to the silver ticket in Yan Ran's hand: "And the merchant can't use it directly if he gets this silver, but must go to Sanshun Money Village to exchange for ordinary silver tickets; ”

"Then it is too easy for these merchants to earn their money. Yan Ran put the fire seal silver back into the silver box: "Then Li Rat rewarded Miss Misu I don't know if it will also be this silver?"

"Then I don't know. Tong Bo shook his head and said in his heart: "This Sanshun Qian Zhuang is a clue, it seems that this Li Rat is not only as simple as framing Dafang, but also has an inextricable relationship with the matter of this fake tax collector." ”

"Is there anything else Childe wants to ask?" Although Yan Ran was shocked that this kind of uncirculated fire seal silver actually arrived in her hand, she still had an indifferent face on the surface.

"In the next Guanle Fang, I found that there is a small black door in the northwest corner of the second floor, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, but there are two guards in front of the door, why is this?" Tong Bo saw An Dafang and Zhou Ling enter here.

"This is the place where our host Lu Yuan entertains VIPs outside, and there are many organs inside, if there is no one to lead, it is difficult to get in and out. Yan Ran looked at Tong Bo's expression and knew his intentions: "Son, don't trespass, it's better to be cautious." ”

"Thank you, girl, for the point, and the hour is not too early, so I will take my leave. Tong Bo took out a delicate light blue glass bead from his bosom and handed it to Yan Ran: "There is no long thing in the lower body, so give this thing to the girl as a piano." ”

The moment An Dafang and Zhou Ling stepped into the orchid room, they were stunned by the vast space and exquisite layout inside; in the southeast corner, the water of the rockery flowed into a small pond like a waterfall, and two stunning maids stood on both sides of the pond and bowed to them and said ten thousand blessings; as for the bed, cupboard, red sandalwood tea table and other utensils, they were all ready.

"Chief Nurse, Zhou Lawyer, our Lu Yuanwai just happened to go out today and didn't return, if you two need anything, just ask, Mom, I will definitely do it. Mother Wu looked at the incredible expressions on the faces of the two, put on her signature cheap smile again, and beckoned to the two stunning maids: "Bi'er, tears, greet the two guest officers." ”

An Dafang's family has been poor since he was a child, and since he was thirteen years old, he has entered the Xuanwu Academy of Jingwei Mansion as a night guard, and it has been more than ten years now, how can he ever see such a scene.

I saw Tear'er's soft hands on his shoulders, and he used his cheeks to get close to An Dafang's cheeks, and the refreshing fragrance went straight into his heart, calling him heart: "Guest officer, how about letting Tears serve you to drink?"

"Yes, guest officer. Another stunning maid, Bi'er, also concocted the same method, sticking to Zhou Ling's side, teasing his lust.

"This, this is really a jade, jade hand that is intoxicating. Zhou Ling was not as out of shape as An Dafang, his right hand slowly stroked Bi'er's left hand on his shoulder, flirting with a wicked smile.

"Guest, you are so bad. Bi'er is also a veteran of Fengyue Field, seeing that Zhou Ling wanted to take advantage of her, she immediately got up and came to An Dafang's side with small steps, and said with a smile: "Bi'er still likes this guest officer, he is heroic and handsome." ”

"Ann, Chief Ann, it seems that you are still more popular. The corners of Zhou Ling's mouth showed a slight evil smile.

"Zhou, Zhou, what are you talking nonsense?" An Dafang was moved by the two stunning maids, and his face turned red, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Wu, Wu's mother, you have arranged our An, and the chief of security is very satisfied. Zhou Ling is not a young person who has just debuted, and he can be fooled by these two moments: "However, there are some things that still need to be asked, asked clearly." ”

"If it weren't for the chief security officer today, Lin Gongzi and that Huangshan prince would definitely have a lot of trouble out of control, so this kind of hospitality is also a gift that I should return from Infernal Music Workshop. Wu's mother is also an old fritter, and when she talks about the scene, it is like a daily meal: "As for what the chief security officer wants to check and ask, I must know everything and say everything." ”

"Li, Li Rat, you must be familiar with this person?" Zhou Ling carefully observed Wu's mother's reaction.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm asking. An Dafang was being served by the beauty, drank the wine bottle brought by tears with his mouth, and suddenly heard the word Li Rat, his head suddenly woke up, and he also stared at Wu's mother and asked.

"Li Rat, let me think about it!" Wu Ma pretended to wave her handkerchief and tapped her temples with her hand: "Oh! I think about it, is it the guard of the Jingwei Mansion with long thief eyebrows and rat eyes?"

"Yes, it's him!" An Dafang couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that this person has come to your music workshop for nearly a month, and he has also rewarded a lot of silver?"

"Wu, Wu's mother, this Li Rat is now a key criminal in the imperial court, and our security chief is also ordered to investigate the case and look at your account books. Zhou Ling immediately hit the snake with the stick.

"W-That's not quite right. Wu's mother looked embarrassed: "These are the privacy of the guests, and it is not in accordance with the rules to show them casually." ”

"Mother Wu, An, the chief of security represents the imperial court, if you don't agree, it will be a protest. Zhou Ling took out the Tingwei Mansion token given by the ghost face and displayed it in front of Wu's mother.

"In that case, I will take the account books. Mother Wu retreated helplessly.
