The next day, Master Shaoxing took the thin monkey and Lang Qi to the Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He sent the thin monkey to the shopkeeper and the bustard's mother to learn about the situation of Xiao Tao in Chuntao Building, and he took Lang Qi to Chuntao Building. Ming Lang Qi was guarding downstairs, not allowing anyone to enter the building, and paced into Xiao Tao's room by himself.

When Xiao Tao saw the guests coming, she greeted her with a smile on her face and sang softly. Said: "Hello sir, I don't know if Mr. wants to listen to music or massage?"

Master Shaoxing took a look at Xiao Tao, and saw that Xiao Tao's face was like a peach blossom, and his posture was graceful, and he was indeed a beautiful embryo, and his heart couldn't help it. He warned himself, Yu Wenwen, you can't think nonsense, now you are handling a case, and you have emotional entanglements with the object of the case, that case can't be handled, if you want to handle this case, you have to give up this heart. He pretended to be calm, coughed twice, calmed down, and said slowly: "The girl is so beautiful, but tonight is a business trip, so don't be mistaken." As he spoke, he took out the waist card of the criminal department from his bosom and flashed it in front of the girl.

Xiao Tao is a person who has seen the world, and said: "Are you the new head catcher of the Criminal Department? The head catcher of the Criminal Department, the little woman knows a few of them, but she has never seen you." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "Late Sheng is a new master from the Criminal Department, not a head catcher." ”

Xiao Tao said: "No wonder the face is raw." Sir is from Shaoxing, right?"

Master Shaoxing said: "Yes, how do you know?"

Xiao Tao said: "Whoever is a master is a Shaoxing person nine times out of ten, and there is no Shaoxing person, and almost all of the masters in the capital are Shaoxing people, which is strange, why is this! Among my guests, there are often Shaoxing masters, they have a good temper, a Shaoxing Beijing accent, and know how to be considerate, and give a lot of rewards. I especially like to listen to what they say in the Shaoxing Beijing dialect. I am used to hearing it, and when I hear Mr. speak, I know that I am from Shaoxing. ”

Master Shaoxing said: "The girl is really smart and smart, and she can't hide anything from the girl's eyes." ”

As they spoke, Yahuan poured tea, and the little peach girl waved Yahuan away, closed the door, and the two of them took their seats. Master Shaoxing said: "Little Peach Girl, I want to ask a few questions in my later life, these questions may evoke many unpleasant memories in you, I implore Little Peach Girl, don't be surprised." ”

Xiao Tao said: "How dare the little woman be surprised, you can ask, adult." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "Three months ago, the Flying Man was dressed as a white-haired old man and came to you to play, remember?"

Xiao Tao's face was stunned, and her face was gloomy, and she said: "Don't you remember, it was just scared, late that night, I only heard a loud bang, which scared the little woman's soul, and after that, I don't remember, I was probably scared." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "No, it was Ding Piaopeng who ordered your acupoint, so that you would not be frightened." It's a miracle to survive this kind of thing. You survived, and you came out unscathed. ”

Xiao Tao said: "That's a little woman's life." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "No, it was Ding Piaopeng who saw the opportunity quickly, clicked on your dumb hole, carried you and flew to a safe corner, and escaped the death blow of the head catchers." ”

Xiao Tao said: "In this way, I should thank Ta Luo." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "Could it be that you don't miss him at all?"

Xiao Tao said: "Why do I want to think about him, just remember, he is very generous, generally speaking, a woman like us is always a little fond of generous guests." Sir, don't get me wrong, I don't want him, people like me, the bustard mother said, don't think about the guests, that's self-inflicted. Mother Bustard is right. ”

Master Shaoxing said: "Do you think he will miss you?"

Xiao Tao recalled: "I don't know, the flying thief said a word, he said, I am his favorite girl." ”

Master Shaoxing said with a smile: "If you say something like this, in bed, when your life is at stake, many men will probably say it." ”

Xiao Tao said: "Hey, it seems that Mr. is very good." However, if he is so serious, the guests will say the same, either, as Mr. Xiang said, when he is fluttering, he hisses and says, or, he says with a smile, in fact, it is a cynical appearance, but it cannot be taken seriously. He is different, looking into your eyes and speaking softly, in a very soft voice, but from the heart. Not only in bed, but also under the bed, he said that, and when he left, he still said that, the same softly, the same sincerity, so in his mouth, and so in his eyes. I'm a very calm girl, and no amount of fire can warm me. At that moment, I was almost moved, looking at his expression, it didn't look like he was pretending. However, I firmly remembered Mommy's words: don't fall in love with the guest, don't believe the guest's words, whether the words are false or true, even if they are true, they will change, either they will become sour or they will taste bad. The girl who falls in love with the guest is the stupidest girl and will never end well. In the end, you will end up with no personal wealth, sad and disobedient, it doesn't matter, you will suffer by yourself, don't blame Mommy. ”

Master Shaoxing said: "Is it that serious?"

Xiao Tao said: "Yes, that's what is in front of you." Last year, Xiao Xing of Xinghualou had feelings for a Yangzhou guest. The guests in Yangzhou were kind to her at first, and swore that they would marry her back to Yangzhou to be a junior, but as a result, they deceived Xiaoxing of all the gold and silver jewelry, and when she left, Xiaoxing resented and hated and wanted and loved, and she couldn't get along, so she hanged herself. ”

Master Shaoxing said: "At this time, at that time, the flying thief is not a guest in Yangzhou, how can you generalize, don't you have a good impression of him?"

Xiao Tao said: "No." It can also be said that you dare not think about it, or you can say that you can't have it. ”

Master Shaoxing said: "That's good, as far as I know, the flying thief has recovered from his injuries and will definitely come to see you, and you have to help the criminal department do something." ”

Xiao Tao held the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said in a daze, "What's the matter?"

Master Shaoxing's cloudy brown eyes stared at Xiao Tao's eyes, and said, "If he doesn't come, come, in the tea he drank, give me, no, give the criminal department a medicine." After that, it's none of your business. You can get 300,000 taels of silver, redeem yourself from Chunhualou, and live the life you want to live. ”

When there was a loud bang, the teacup in Xiao Tao's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and she said: "Sir, what do you think of me? Although the little woman is a person in the dust, she has never loved a person, but she has never harmed a person! Making money is already the retribution for the evil done in the previous life, and she will never dare to be delusional and do anything wrong in this life." I have never even thought about this kind of murder for money, let alone do it. What's more, Ding Piaopeng is a hero admired by thousands of people, if I poison him to death, he will become Qin Hui, and he will be infamous for thousands of generations. Sir, you are a scholar, you read the book of Chengxian, and you are wise and reasonable, how can you say such things. With all due respect to the little girl, I can't do such a thing. ”

Master Shaoxing smiled embarrassedly, his face was blue and white for a while, and said, "Just when I didn't say it, just when I didn't say it." He left a silver stripe or two on the tea table, and walked away.

Back to the yamen of the arrest room of the Criminal Department, Lang Qiguan dozed off in the chair, and Master Shaoxing paced back and forth with his head bowed in the study.

Master Shaoxing asked, "Is there a situation?"

The thin monkey said, "Yes." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "The situation is all understood?"

The thin monkey said: "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

The master pulled the thin monkey to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "It's hard work, speak slowly." ”

While drinking tea, the thin monkey explained what he had learned and said:

Xiao Tao is a member of the Mudu family in Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, with his father Chen Chongben and mother Chen Wang, all of whom are honest and have been farming for generations. The Chen family has five generations of single inheritance, with one son and five daughters, one brother above Xiao Tao, and four younger sisters below, and the family is very poor. Xiao Tao is a stage name, some people call her "Spring Peach", her real name is Fengxian, when Xiao Tao was six years old, Mu Du flooded, crops were flooded, no grain harvest, seeing that there was no life, in desperation, her parents sold her to the Qinglou in Suzhou City, Xiao Tao was young, in addition to doing some chores in the Qinglou, is to learn singing and dancing, at a young age, singing and dancing will be learned, and won the love of the master. At the age of fourteen, Xiao Tao was listed to welcome guests, and she became a red card in Suzhou Lan Kwai Fong for a while, and became a cash cow, which was deeply loved by Mommy. Xiao Tao was fifteen years old, and was favored by the shopkeeper Gu of the Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn, and paid a lot of money to dig it up to Beijing, and became a celebrity of the Moon Palace Hot Spring Inn.

Xiao Tao is a sensible girl, since earning money, often send money to supplement the family, it is said that her eldest brother's marriage, if there is no Xiao Tao to pay, it will never be done. The brother and sister have a good relationship and often correspond.

Brother Xiao Tao is twenty-five years old this year, surnamed Chen Defu, in the past, he studied in Suzhou Qianzhuang, and gave birth to two daughters after marriage, and his family was mediocre. Later, Xiaotao went to Beijing, and the eldest brother soon went to Beijing to make a living, so that they could take care of each other. According to Xiao Tao's friend, the eldest brother found an account office in the Beijing head office of Huitong Qianzhuang, and a family of four lived in a courtyard house in Beijing, and life was still passable.

Three days ago, his eldest brother Chen Defu had an accident and was imprisoned for bribery and embezzlement. Chen Defu borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from a Guangdong jewelry merchant without authorization because of his position in Qianzhuang, and the 30,000 taels of silver were issued into six silver bills to be paid at sight, which were delivered to the Guangdong merchants, from which he received a benefit fee of 3,000 taels of silver from the other party. He thought that the jewelry merchant was used for business turnover, but unexpectedly, after the Guangdong jewelry merchant took the bill of exchange, he disappeared from the world overnight and absconded with the money. Two months later, Huitong Qianzhuang found something strange in the semi-annual capital inventory, Chen Defu embezzled 30,000 taels of silver without authorization, and the Beijing general manager of Huitong Qianzhuang was furious, and a complaint filed Chen Defu for embezzlement, bribery, and embezzlement of public funds to the Yin Yamen of the Beijing Mansion. The wife and children at home wash their faces with tears all day long, and they don't know what to do.

Hearing this, a look of excitement flashed in Master Shaoxing's cloudy brown pupils, and he said, "There is a door." ”

The thin monkey didn't know the inside story and asked, "Chen Defu has nothing to do with this case, master." ”

Lang Qi also woke up at this time, stretched his waist, and said, "The master said that it is related, thin monkey, you don't understand this, why did the master say let's do it." ”

The thin monkey glanced at Lang Qi and said, "Yes." ”

Master Shaoxing said: "Later, I'm going to go and catch the head with Mr. Qiao, you two will go to prepare the carriage immediately, let's go to the prison of Beijing Mansion and meet this Chen Defu." ”
