"The Eagle Catcher of the Tingwei Mansion asks to see Lord Jinling Lingqin. The ghost face took out the Tingwei token in his right hand and showed it in front of a staff member with a frightened stick in front of the Jinling Commanding Mansion.

"Oni-sama, please inside. The yamen was dozing with a frightened stick, and was called by the ghost face, almost didn't stand firm, rubbed his eyes reluctantly, looked at the token again, and most of the sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and shouted to the official next to him: "You go and report to Lord Qin quickly." ”

After Liu Ningshi and Ghost Face entered the door, they were led by the official and went straight to the lobby; not long after, a man in his thirties wearing a green official robe and a black official hat ran in in a panic: "I don't know that Lord Ghost Face has arrived, and the lower officials have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Lord Qin is too polite, it's just a small catch. The ghost face spread his right palm towards Liu Ningshi: "This girl is the third lady of Liu Zhongshu, adults should be careful." ”

"It turned out to be the third lady! If there is anything you can help with, this official must know everything and say everything. Qin An said with a flattering smile.

"Isn't Lord Qin going to invite the two of us to sit in the back hall?" the ghost face reminded with a folding fan.

"Oh, yes, you see I'm confused. Qin An patted his head and made a gesture of please: "Two of you, please, come and make tea." ”

The three of them came to the back hall and sat down, and a small servant took a tray and placed the three bowls in front of the three people.

"This is the new tea that I just got this year, and I invite you two to taste it. Qin An first picked up the bowl and flicked the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid.

"The taste is sweet and the aroma is quiet. Liu Ningshi put the tea to her mouth and blew it, and took a small sip: "This is the best Lushan cloud mist, but it is worth a lot of money." ”

What Miss Liu said was very true. Ghost Face quipped: "Lord Qin, you really have made a bloody investment." ”

"Where! It's just an old friend of the official who gave a little to the official, and it just so happened that the two of them had a meeting, which was also providential. "Qin An is worthy of being an old fritter in officialdom, and there is no trace of a sycophant.

"Lord Qin, we are here today mainly to inquire about one thing. Ghost Face cleared his throat: "A few days ago, a few scoundrels were imprisoned in the Jinling Lingfu for disturbing the people in Li Laoshi's wonton shop, do you remember this?" ”

"Huh? Qin An pondered for a while, and suddenly slapped his head: "By the way, it was Li Laoshi who was entrusted by the Xuanwu Academy An Dafang to report the case; ”

"Of the four of them, who is the leader and what is the background?" Ghostface asked.

"This person's name is Jia Lezi, a native of Jinling. Qin An said eloquently: "He is unlearned and unskilled, but he is entangled with a bunch of ruffians who collect protection money in various shops all day long. ”

"Don't you care about this kind of rogue official?" Liu Ningshi was very curious.

"The reason why these land snakes can mix well is naturally because there are people above to support them. Qin An sighed.

"This guy has collected protection money for so many years, I'm afraid he already has his own industry. "Ghost Face is a fast catcher himself, and the cat here is greasy.

"What the oni-sama said is very true. Qin An nodded: "Don't look at this Jia Lezi who looks like a gangster, the property he bought is quite elegant, it is the Juyou Teahouse on Guyang Street, which is specially used by literati and sorcerers to chant poems and make friends and taste tea." ”

"Brother Ren, what Lord Qin said is quite interesting. Liu Ningshi suddenly became interested: "This Juyou teahouse is so close to my house, and Ning Shi has never been there, why don't you take this opportunity to go to Fengya?"

"Just what I wanted. Ghost Face and Liu Ningshi stood up: "Lord Qin, so we won't bother and leave." ”

"I'll send you two. Qin An also got up to send him off.

Juyou Tea House is located on West Street Street, one mile away from Liufu, and is divided into two floors. The lower floor is divided into a small partition with a screen, which is reserved for some ordinary scholars and literati only, while the second floor is repaired into heaven, earth, Xuan, and Huang, and eight private rooms in spring, summer, autumn, and east for the use of dignitaries and talents.

Between the unitary hour and the new hour every day, it is also the most lively time for the Gathering Friends Teahouse; no, in the bursts of poetry and the sound of blowing the bombing field, the small people in the lobby are busy serving tea and pouring water, and sending fruits and snacks.

"Two guest officers, please. The moment Liu Ningshi and Ghost Mian stepped into the teahouse just now, a little servant greeted them warmly: "Do you two need a partition on the first floor, or a private room on the second floor?"

"Hmm。。。。。 What's this?" Ghost Face pretended to be pondering, and suddenly closed the folding fan: "Miss Liu, which one do you want to go to, Brother Ren will satisfy you today." ”

"Brother Ren, Ning Shi likes plum blossoms the most, it is tough and noble; coincidentally, it is said that there is a room here, called Hanmei Pavilion?" Liu Ning Shi showed a timid look: "Just this one." ”

"This?" The little guy looked at the clothes and bearings of the two, and had to be patient with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, today Hanmei Pavilion has been chartered by a distinguished guest。。。。。。; ”

"Little brother, didn't you hear this girl's words clearly?" Ghost Face's originally indifferent face sank, and he stuffed an ingot of ten taels of gold into the little girl's hand: "No matter who it is, please let him out of here!"

The little guy is holding ten taels of gold in his hand, and it feels like a hot potato, either or not, not and no: "This little one really can't be the master, I still ask the shopkeeper to come over and talk to the two of you in detail." ”

"Miss Liu, do you feel anything?" Taking advantage of the gap between the little guy's departure, the ghost face asked Liu Ningshi quietly.

"There seems to be a faint layer of mist shrouded in the direction of Hanmei Pavilion, giving people a feeling of illusion and reality. Liu Ningshi felt something different when she entered the door, so she wanted to go and see it.

"Miss Liu feels right. The ghost cast an approving glance at Liu Ningshi: "This is a formation called a mirage, although the mist here only uses one-tenth of its strength. ”

"Who is going to enter the Hanmei Pavilion?" an old-fashioned forty-year-old man walked slowly with the little guy from before.

"Are you the shopkeeper?" Ghost Face heard the shopkeeper's unkind tone, and the anger in his heart rose, and his originally calm face was as cold as ice, and his sharp eyes seemed to pierce the other party's heart.

The shopkeeper looked at the ghost's eyes, and his whole body was excited, and he immediately smiled at each other: "The guest officer is angry, the villain has already gone to ask the guest of Hanmei Pavilion." ”

"What did that guest say?" Liu Ningshi on the side pursed her lips and smiled.

The guest said that if the two of them could walk from here to the pavilion, he would give up the Hanmei Pavilion. The shopkeeper put on a fearless appearance again.

"Oh, really, this man is just as arrogant as before. The ghost face sneered, and no longer looked at the shopkeeper: "Miss Liu, come with me." ”

"Hmph, if you can't get out of the formation for a while, don't blame me. The shopkeeper whispered hatefully.

Liu Ningshi silently used her internal strength as she walked, using the "heart-eye unity" in the illusion of the heart; she closed her eyes slightly, and a faint white light condensed on her right palm, and kept probing on the mist around Hanmei Pavilion: "Brother Ren, there is a weak place in the lower left of this fog, should we open a gap from here to enter." ”

"Why bother? Besides, there is no need to save face for such people. The ghost face directly pulled out the iron ruler, and with a casual blow on the mist, it was scattered, and the three big characters of "Hanmei Pavilion" came into the eyes of the two.

"Miss Liu, isn't this okay. The ghost face put the iron ruler back on his waist and continued to shake the folding fan.

"Who are you? You can actually break my son's formation?" Wei Tianlin, who was guarding the outer gate of Hanmei Pavilion, was shocked: "Miss Liu, is it you?"

"No, no, no! It's not me. Liu Ningshi pretended to be panicked and pointed to the ghost face on the side: "It's him, it's him." ”

"Tianlin, since a friend wants to see me, please invite him in. In the Hanmei Pavilion, Murong Li's voice came out.

The ghost face entered first, and Liu Ningshi followed behind and jumped into the pavilion, only to see Murong Li half-lying on the futon, holding a wine bottle in his right hand, holding a lilac grape in his left hand, squinting his eyes and listening to what a pig-faced man said.

"Tut-tut, Murong Junwang really enjoys it?" Liu Ningshi was not polite, and sat down on the futon opposite Murong Li, and also laid another futon for the ghost noodles.

"Murong Li, I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for many days, your formation is really so bad?" Ghost Face pointed at the pig-faced man, but smiled at Murong Li: "I originally wanted to talk to this little shrimp first, and then visit you, it seems that it saves a lot of trouble." ”

"Are you?" Murong Li put down the wine bottle and grapes in his hand, looked at the slightly sickly young man in front of him, and suddenly his eyes became sharp: "Murong Ren, you are not dead yet." ”

"You're not dead, how can I be willing to die first?" replied with a for tat.

"Stop!" Liu Ningshi screamed, she was still sitting, she had already flashed in front of the pig-faced man who wanted to escape, pinched his shoulder well, and tore off his pig-faced mask: "Pretend to be a pig-faced gangster all day long, aren't you tired?"

"Ahh ”

"Murong Ren, what do you want to do today, do you want to take revenge on me?" Murong Li couldn't sit still a little, and slammed his fist on the table.

"Your cultivation is still so poor!" Ghost Face looked disdainful: "Don't worry, the grievances between us, I will go to Jicheng to find your two brothers in the future; ”

"Hmph, yes, this person is my subordinate, so what?" Murong Li knew that there was no need to pretend in front of the ghost face.

"If your subordinates do anything against your master's back, that's a different matter. Ghost Face picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured himself a drink: "Well, this bamboo leaf green is not bad." ”

"How do you say this?" Murong Li frowned, he had always prided himself on being shrewd, how could he tolerate someone doing things behind his back.

"This person entered the Tingwei Mansion under your banner and handed over a day to a small work of my Tingwei Mansion, causing the death of two important people in the Liufu case and the Weiguanyi case. Ghost Face looked back at the man who had been taken off the pig's face mask: "Am I right?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, the king, I've never done anything like this. The man denied hysterically.

"Really?" Ghost Face took out a confession and threw it to the man: "Look at it, this fine work has been recruited, and here is his signature and drawing." ”

Jia Le's hands trembled with the confession, looked at it for a moment, and instantly collapsed to the ground: "The king of the county spares his life, the king of the county spares his life." ”

"Wang Yuan, this king has always treated you well, how dare Er An do this?" If the eyes can kill, this man is estimated to have died thousands of times.

Mr. Qian once said: The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the world is all for profit. The ghost face sighed: "It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. ”
