Chapter 99 Catching the corpse
The man in armor glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed the shadow by the window. He took out an oil paper bag from his sleeve pocket, stuffed it into the blind boy's hand, and stretched out his hand to rub the top of his hair.
"Eat a candy when taking medicine, and it won't be bitter."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door, walking through a long corridor and entering a room.
This house is on a shady side, and there is a faint musty smell after entering. The light comes in through the dense flower windows, and the people's faces are still mottled.
The thick embroidered screen divided the entire room into two, and only a vague figure could be seen behind it.
"Zhou Zhao is a bold and careful man with a deep city. Don't be deceived by her apparent certainty. She will not trust you easily. Now you have joined the Northern Army as Su Changying, and you will do To become a master, don’t forget where you come from and what you have to do.”
"Sugar is sweet in the mouth first, but after it is sweet, everything you eat will be bitter."
"Don't forget, I'm always watching you."
Behind the screen, a burst of green smoke suddenly rose to the ground, and the musty smell was immediately washed away, leaving only a pungent smell of smoke.
When the thick smoke in the room dissipated, the person standing behind the screen also disappeared.
Su Changying stood quietly, staring ahead expressionlessly. What was embroidered on the screen was the splendid mountains and rivers of the Daqi Dynasty. The red sun rising in the east seemed to have coated the entire embroidery with golden light. .
After a long time, he looked away and gently pressed his fingers on the red spot on his arm.
He lowered his eyes to hide his eyes, but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Su Changying walked out of the door, and saw a woman leaning against a wooden pillar with her arms folded, looking particularly graceful. If Zhou Zhao were here, he would definitely recognize that person as the hostess she had met before in Tianying City.
Seeing Su Changying come out, his wife shook her head at him.
When Su Changying passed by her, she said again, "Zhiyang Shop has opened."
Su Changying did not respond, but left the house and disappeared into the crowd.
……
The small canteen of Tingwei Temple used to make meatloaf at night. The pork and pig are mixed with green onions, which is so fragrant that oil bubbles out of it.
Zhou Zhao took a bite of the meat pie. The long-lost taste was really something he missed so much that he could still eat it even with another dustpan.
In the room at the front door, the feather fan in Min Zangzhi's hand was about to shake out, "I'm not telling you, one of you two is also a lady, and the other is the emperor's biological son, the majestic King of Chu, can you Don’t you act like you haven’t eaten meat for three hundred years?”
"Thanks to the great blessing of the two of you, my colleagues in Tingwei Temple are lighting up the lamps to patch the sky. Did you see it? The long attendant came in with a food box like running water..."
"Who still eats the meat cakes from the canteen? When you weren't here, Chef Cao always took them back to feed her Laifu."
Min Zangzhi talked for a long time without waiting for a response. He pursed his lips, stood up uncomfortably, stretched out two fingers to pick up a piece of meat pie from the small bamboo dustpan in front of Zhou Zhao, and stuffed it into his mouth. in...
It wasn't that he was greedy, it was just that the two guys opposite him were eating too much!
It was so fragrant that the fish breasts in front of him, as thin as cicada wings and rolled into flowers, no longer had any taste.
So delicious! Why didn't he know that Chef Cao's skills were so good before?
Min Zangzhi ate, but couldn't stop talking, "I knew that Li Youdao, that drunkard, would definitely kill you. I would approve files for him during the day, and I would have to take turns for him at night. Tell me, How did you make things difficult for Xu Jin?”
"Of course, a case lunatic like you would love to work day and night! What kind of wine bottle goes with what kind of lid!"
"Chang Zuoping, a boring person, turned out to be interesting for once."
There are people on duty at Tingwei Temple day and night in case a case suddenly arises and the Northern Army comes looking for it.
Zhou Zhao ate the last bite of the meat pie and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Did you really not have a few bones broken?"
Min Zangzhi was a weak scholar with no power, and he was still a low-ranking clerk. Even if he was a lot more talented, he was a romantic scholar sought after by courtesan ladies, and his poisonous mouth should have been beaten to pieces long ago. That's it.
Min Zangzhi clicked his tongue twice and glanced at Zhou Zhao meaningfully, "You don't know?"
"Know what?"
Min Zangzhi wiped his hands carefully, and smoked the fingers stained with meat patties on the incense burner nearby, before he was about to speak, "I..."
As soon as he said the word "I", Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang stood up and walked towards the door.
Min Zangzhi was stunned, threw away the handkerchief, and trotted out to follow. As expected, he saw Su Changying riding a tall horse and a small group of Northern troops wearing armor.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"A floating corpse was found in Guandu Fang downstream of the East River. The corpse looked strange."
Zhou Zhao and Liu Huang looked at each other, turned over and got on the horse, leaving Min Zangzhi dumbfounded, "Have you even prepared the horse? Are you in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, he called to the side. After a while, his chief casually led a white horse over. The horse was pure white without even a stray hair, and even smelled of incense. , he looked forward, only to see that Zhou Zhao had already slapped his horse away ruthlessly, so he quickly got on his horse and chased after him.
It was not yet the curfew, and there were still many pedestrians in Guandufang. Seeing the Northern Army roaring past, they stood on tiptoe and looked around curiously.
"General!"
Zhou Zhao turned over and dismounted, saw Zhen Zhuli, and his eyes swept over Su Changying's face with some subtlety.
She cleared her throat and walked towards the river with Liu Huang. She saw the body of a man lying on the grass beside the river. He was wearing a brown cloth and tied with a hemp rope. His waist was There is also a fishhook hanging in the middle.
Not far from the body, squatting was a man in his early thirties wearing a long coat. He held his head and kept moving sideways.
Seeing Zhou Zhao looking at him, the man looked at the token hanging on Zhou Zhao's waist, and then looked at Min Zangzhi who was riding a white horse behind her. He jumped up anxiously and raised his hands, "Masters of Tingwei Temple. My name is Tang Mu. I taught my eldest son homework earlier.”
"Unexpectedly, that child is as stupid as a pig and can't be taught no matter how hard I teach him! There was another child who kept crying and the whole house was running wild. I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I went out to the east water to fish. I've been here for almost half an hour. , not a single fish was caught!”
"Just when I thought I was going to come back empty-handed again today, I suddenly caught a heavy object and I pulled hard..."
Speaking of this, Tang Mu's voice was full of tears, "We dragged a corpse! I don't know this person, and he has nothing to do with me at all! I am just a fisherman! I thought it was a big fish at first, I even took a photo with a torch!”
"This photo almost scared me out of my mind! It's not that I'm afraid of dead people, it's actually that the dead people are too scary!"
"Look, his face and body are covered with red pimples! Could it be that he has some disease? Although my eldest son is stupid and my second son is stupid, I can't die so unjustly! I haven't even... I’ve caught a fish! It’s all a waste of wine!”
