Jiugaoju sat north and faced south, and at this time in the northwest corner of the lobby sat a short and thin man.

He was skinny, as if a gust of wind could blow him apart, and he was dressed in a black coarse cloth robe. The face is narrow, the chin is pointed, the nose is slotted, and a pair of rat eyes look around, as if to see all the people here.

Five dishes were placed on the table in front of him, and in the center was a plate of steamed grass carp.

Behind him was a large window, and the scented sandalwood lattice stole a few wisps of fresh wind from the window, and the two or three hanging paintings in front of him were rattled.

The man in white looked at him playfully for a long time, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes nodding, and he was very confused.

In fact, Shicai Hui'er asked him to guess the identity of the short and thin man, but he accidentally saw him dressed like a shabby, which was completely different from the other guests in brocade clothes and eguanbo belts here. And the appearance of its thief eyebrows and rat eyes is even more incompatible with the elegant temperament here, so he is curious.

But in fact, she didn't think too much about it, after all, although there was indeed a domineering couplet hanging in front of the Jiugao house, the price of wine and food was a little more expensive than other restaurants, and she didn't see the store driving people out. Therefore, although the short, thin man who seemed to be a splashy man sat in the middle of the Jiugao Center, she did not feel that there was any big deal.

It's just that his son-in-law seems to be very interested in that splash skin at this time, and his expression becomes more and more solemn.

"Interesting. ”

He withdrew his gaze from the corner of the wall and twisted his head back. I was about to raise my chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, but my eyes suddenly froze. His delicate willow-like sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and the chopsticks that had just left the table snapped down, and his eyes turned to the fish on the short and thin man's table.

"It's funny. ”

He whispered.

It was also at this time that there was a sound of "knocking" footsteps outside the door.

"Bad luck, there are a lot of bad things today. ”

After Fang Twelve sneezed, he tightened the slightly thin clothes on his body, and then cursed:

"Since I was bumped into by the thief surnamed Qi at noon, I haven't stopped until now, it's really unlucky!"

Zhu Changsheng, who was behind him, laughed twice and asked, "Old Fang, you said that your surname is Qi, could it be that Qi Hanyan?"

Fang Twelve snorted and replied viciously, "Who else can it be besides that Pocai." This guy really lacks discipline, so he called his brothers to his house to play another day and teach him to recognize the number of etiquette. ”

Zhu Changsheng smiled after hearing this, put his left hand on his shoulder, and teased: "Yes, yes...... Your brother's skills are all over the sky, and one hundred and eight strong people have been driven to Liangshan by you with a stick, how can the dozens of people in the Qi family be enough for you to stuff your teeth......"

As soon as he said this, everyone around him laughed, and they all coaxed me with every word.

Fang Twelve shook the water and fire stick in his hand, and the stick hit the green brick road, smashing out a few cracks.

He was already in a very bad mood, and at this time he heard someone laughing at him about the incident at the yamen, and he was angry and reprimanded:

"Go, go, go, what nonsense! Be careful Grandpa plucks out your tongues, and boil hot oil and drink them!"

And the people who were coaxing laughed even more when they heard this. One of them said:

"Even a girl is afraid, and she dares to pull out her tongue, and her courage has grown so quickly? Which sister in which restaurant has you been trained, tell your brothers, and let your brothers go to a show, hahaha......"

Fang Twelve's face was flushed, as if he was about to ooze blood, and he was embarrassed and angry.

"Stop...... Stop all...... I can't stop talking nonsense, don't you see the adults coming over right away? ”

Wu Yi slowly walked to the front of the team that had just stood still, and looked at the few people below and gave him a stern lecture.

Lately, he's been very worried.

Since the yamen moved out of the ban on drugs some time ago, several waves of relatives and friends have asked him to dredge up their relationships and buy medicine for treatment. But no matter how many gifts the other party sent, he didn't dare to accept it, and no one helped.

He is not such a strict law-abiding person, nor is he proud of himself, but this time he can't help no matter what.

——

"This is not like those small cases in the past, but this time it provoked Liang Shicheng and Mrs. Liang, and even the six doors were here, and no one dared to be sloppy. Don't say it's me, even Chen Zhixian doesn't dare to be perfunctory......"

——

He didn't know how many times a day he had to say this, but there was still an endless stream of people who came to ask for help, and at noon he encountered a group of people making trouble, which gave him a headache.

"Wu Zhisi, the ban on drugs can only be withdrawn in time, and my uncle is still waiting for the medicine. ”

It was Zhu Changsheng who asked, "Anyway, the one surnamed Liang didn't have any major incidents, why did he make such a big move and ban the medicine?"

There were a few more echoes around him, and everyone gradually shouted.

In fact, Wu Qi always felt that something was wrong.

Although the assassination of important officials of the imperial court is a heinous crime, there has never been such a case when there has been a similar case before, and the medicine has been banned inexplicably. If that assassin is bold enough to assassinate the prince of the dynasty, his ability is naturally not small, and there will be someone behind him to take care of it, how useful can a small prohibition order be? He really couldn't think of the reason for this, and said impatiently:

"Okay, okay, you have heard it at noon, Lord Chen set off to Yuhang yesterday, it is estimated that it will not be better in two or three days, now they are all standing honestly, don't make noise anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw through the lights of the lantern that a group of people and horses appeared at the intersection in front of him, and a sedan chair slowly walked towards this place surrounded by the surrounding officers and soldiers.

Only then did he suddenly remember what he had to do, and hurriedly instructed these people under him:

"Quick, quick, a few of you go to the north of the restaurant, a few of you go to the east, you go to the west, and the rest will stand in front of the door......

He hurriedly commanded the crowd, his eyes looked at the team in front of him from time to time, and his right hand holding the lantern trembled unconsciously......
