Chapter 719: There is also a Hongmen Banquet in the Imperial Court
Whose hand patted him on the shoulder, Shen Qiaoan turned around suddenly, obviously frightened.
The moonlight fell on the man's face, Qiao An saw that it was Qing Gongzi, and Qing Gongzi found that Shen Qiaoan was crying, and the tears made the watery eyes brighter a lot, and Qing Gongzi also saw Shen Qiaoan holding a golden hairpin in his hand.
"Why are you here?" Qing Gongzi looked at Shen Qiao'an in confusion, he really didn't know, why was Shen Qiao'an here in the middle of the night?
Joan had just seen the black shadow, so the moment the black shadow approached, she sprinkled the salt in the grass next to her, and then pulled out the golden hairpin. One is used to protect oneself, and the other is used to lie.
This golden hairpin was given to her by Luo Huaiyi some time ago, don't look at the old style, but this golden hairpin is a great weapon, Shen Qiaoan inserted the golden hairpin in her hair after she got this golden hairpin, and she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
"Crying for what?" Qing Gongzi gently stretched out his hand and wiped away the tears on Shen Qiao'an's cheeks, and Qiao An restored that beautiful and lovely face.
"This is a relic left to me by my mother, I thought it was impossible to find it today, I came here with you today, and when I went back, I found that the golden hairpin was lost, and I came to look for it." Qiao An said this, and when Qing Gongzi heard this, he had a trusting smile on his face.
"If you want to find something, you should tell me in advance, I will find someone to accompany you, what can you do if you go to this wilderness alone and encounter danger?" Qing Gongzi glanced at Qiao An.
And put the golden hairpin in Qiao An's bun, Qiao An whimpered, Qing Gongzi was a person who cherished the fragrance and jade, held Qiao An's hand, and sent her to the carriage.
The two returned to Tsing Yi Building, Qiao An asked Nian'er to go out and bring a message to General Cheng, there was indeed salt in the warehouse, but it was strange why it was not found out last time.
That night, General Cheng sneaked into their warehouse, which was originally on the outskirts of Beijing, and the surrounding area was closed and absolutely safe, so there was only an elderly man watching from the warehouse.
After General Cheng entered, he searched everywhere, and a large number of farm tools had been carried away, and the other pile was still sugar when opened, which made General Cheng very strange.
Just when General Cheng was uncertain, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling in the warehouse, which seemed to be footsteps.
General Cheng immediately turned around, and at first glance saw a black wolfdog, in the night, the wolfdog's fangs were shiny, like a dagger out of the sheath.
"Oops!" General Cheng knew how powerful this wolf dog was, so he immediately ran away, but who knew that this wolf dog was chasing after him.
General Cheng was bored and was about to leave over the wall, but he didn't expect to be bitten by the wolf dog on his trouser leg, he was angry and hit the wolf dog on the head with a fist.
General Cheng has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and the iron fist is very powerful, and the fist the size of a sandbag hits the wolf dog's head, and the wolf dog is suddenly silent.
He only felt a torrent of turbulent heat spraying on his face, extremely bloody, at this moment, the wolf dog was dying, and General Cheng was also exhausted.
As soon as he got up, he saw the janitor come out with a lantern, and the two looked at each other.
"Ghosts! Hell! ”
Hearing this, General Cheng understood, it turned out that this old guy regarded himself as Liu San'er, the unjust ghost in the daytime, he immediately chased after him, and after intimidation, the old man told the secret, it turned out that the treasury was very good, and what was placed on this warehouse was just some bits and pieces that could see the light, and the things in the basement below were the most important thing.
General Cheng went down to the basement to see that there was not much salt left, and it looked like most of it had been sold.
The result of the incident was that the old man went crazy, and the dog became General Cheng's meal that night, and after General Cheng told Li Zhongxuan about it, Li Zhongxuan was also surprised.
As for the salt they prepared outside Furong Pass, Mo Huaihai did not snatch it this time, and the imperial army came back in a low-key manner.
In this way, things have reached an impasse, and Qiao An's investigation has also been in a dilemma, when there is no choice, Li Zhongxuan and Pei Yan discussed a method, which is not clever, but it can lure the snake out of the hole and take the bait.
On this day, the imperial court issued a holy decree saying that it was to invite light workers to eat and drink in Luming Garden, which was intended to apologize for the last incident. After Qing Gongzi received the holy decree, he laughed.
"Second uncle, we are not in a hurry, but they are in a hurry." Qing Gongzi looked at Mo Huaihai who was sitting opposite, Mo Huai was holding a girl and laughing, and when he heard this, he immediately let the woman out.
"Oh, uncle, what's the big deal, don't let the slave family listen to it?" The woman couldn't walk, her fingers drew circles on Mo Huaihai's chest, but Mo Huaihai's heart was itchy and hard to scratch.
"What's wrong with the imperial court?" Mo Huaihai didn't urge the girl anymore, and glanced at Qing Gongzi, who smiled faintly.
"The court actually invited me to a banquet, and I was still in Shanglu Ming Garden, which is a place that I only go to when I am a champion." He smiled.
"If you want to go, you can go, and see what kind of snake Li Zhongxuan is playing?" Mo Huaihai kissed the girl.
Qing Gongzi is not close to women, because he knows that once a woman is close to him, sooner or later he will be distracted, and he will not be able to do this, so he also hates those men who are very affectionate women.
He remembered the woman.
"Of course I'm going." Qing Gongzi not only planned to go to the banquet, but also prepared very lively, and even prepared gifts for Li Zhongxuan and Shen Qiaoan, and gave Li Zhongxuan a copper tripod, which means to win the Central Plains.
What was given to Joan was a particularly delicate fan, which meant "rising step by step".
That night, Shen Qiaoan once again saw the disputes in the Qingyi, such quarrels and other things happened every day in the Qingyi Building, quarrels between guests and guests, quarrels between guests and women and geisha, quarrels between geisha and bustards, anyway, there were many groups.
At this moment, Qiao An looked at the back door, and the old bustard Cuixian drove out a crying girl, and the girl who was driven out was just crying vigorously, and she couldn't speak.
Shen Qiaoan was compassionate, and said to Nian'er: "Arrange a place for that girl to live, and tomorrow you can find someone to send her to Brother Luo's side, pitiful." ”
Nian'er immediately went to make arrangements.
On the second day, the girl was about to leave, but she was still whimpering and crying, Shen Qiaoan saw that the girl was crying badly, and she couldn't help but admonish her, but who knew that this woman couldn't speak, at first Shen Qiaoan thought that the woman was crying because she wanted to leave, and then she realized that it was because of pain.
Her tongue had been cut off and completely disappeared from the roots, and Joan saw this and got some medicine for the girl.
"What's going on? Cuixian is so vicious? I'm going to send you away! The girl was not beaten, but she had no tongue.
And that cuixian is an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a hair, and it doesn't matter if she picks the door on weekdays, and even the girl picks the door before she leaves, refusing to give a fare.
"If you can't say it, write it!" Shen Qiaoan gave a pen to the girl, the girl held it and wrote slowly, after reading the content, Qiao An suddenly understood that it was this girl who accidentally heard the secret between Qing Gongzi and Mo Huaihai.
"What? Tomorrow Qing Gongzi is going to Luming Garden? "Why didn't Shen Qiaoan know about entertaining Qing Gongzi to the banquet at all? Qiao An looked at Nian'er complainingly, and Nian'er said: "I went to General Cheng's side last night, but Lao Cheng didn't say it, it's not that the slave didn't report it." ”
"I see."
Regarding the banquet of Qing Gongzi, the imperial court also has certain arrangements, and the dishes cooked in the imperial dining room are very rich, which seems to be a quite comfortable banquet.
But what Li Zhongxuan didn't expect was that it was not only Qing Gongzi who attended the banquet, but also Shen Qiaoan.
Shen Qiaoan couldn't imagine what Qing Gongzi had to take with him, and he actually did what he did in the name of "go to the palace and open your eyes", and everyone knew it.
After three rounds of drinking, Qiao An was about to evacuate, but was grabbed by Qing Gongzi's wrist.
The wolf king and General Cheng who were waiting behind Li Zhongxuan, because they saw that Qing Gongzi actually held Qiao An's hand, immediately drew their swords and faced each other, but Qing Gongzi didn't care.
"Forget the New Year, this is the imperial capital, how can you say that you can leave, you are pretentious on weekdays, you don't give me face, don't even give the emperor?" Qing Gongzi said as he glared at Shen Qiaoan.
Qiao An can't say what to tell Li Zhongxuan at this moment? The two looked at each other, and all the secrets had been leaked.
"Pouring wine for the emperor is not a compensation." Qing Gongzi said as he gave the wine jug to Qiao An, and Shen Qiao An held the wine jug and poured a glass of wine and sent it to Li Zhongxuan.
"Who is this?" Li Zhongxuan stared at Qiao An.
"This one is the top brand of my Tsing Yi Building, a girl who forgets her year, her little song is also one of the best in the imperial capital, how about letting her sing one to the emperor?" While speaking, Qing Gongzi deliberately approached Qiao An.
Joan didn't dodge, neither did she pander, she just felt her back tighten, and she couldn't even breathe smoothly. That Qing Gongzi is accustomed to his appearance, and there is a charming smile on his lips.
"Since it's a singer, then I'll drink this cup, but please two of you also solemnly, after all, this is the palace!" Li Zhongxuan was furious, and immediately wanted to splash the wine on the hypocritical face of Qing Gongzi opposite, but after all, he gritted his teeth and held back.
Qing Gongzi immediately nodded: "It's better for the grass people to be respectful than to obey their orders." ”
Li Zhongxuan ate Qiao An's wine, and then Qing Gongzi began to make things difficult for Li Zhongxuan, "I have heard the queen's mother for a long time, and since we have all arrived today, the so-called hundred smells are better than one sight, please let the mother come out to open the eyes of us hillbillies, I don't know if it's convenient or not?" ”
Qing Gongzi has long wanted to prove the identity of the person next to him, and he is full of suspicions, it is very likely that it is Qiao An, and the good thing is that today Li Zhongxuan actually invited him to Zhongjing as a guest, isn't this in a hurry to expose his shortcomings?
Shen Qiao looked at Li Zhongxuan quietly, with shame and pleading in his eyes, while Li Zhongxuan only had tolerance and protection in his eyes.
"The queen's mother has not been in good health recently, and she has been coughing and wheezing for a while," Hearing Li Zhongxuan say this, it seemed impossible to let the queen come forward, but at this moment, the conversation changed and said: "But if I want to let her know two wonderful people, she also wants to come out." ”
With that, let the maid go to Joan.
Shen Qiao jumped and accelerated with peace of mind, and he was about to be exposed, how could this be good? After a short stop, a group of girls came with a girl in their arms, and the stars arched over the moon.
After the woman approached them, she sat down softly beside Li Zhongxuan, very quiet, she was like a white cloud, it would be more perfect if there was no veil on her face.
"Bengong has been coughing lately," and after speaking, he "cough cough cough", Shen Qiaoan saw that Li Zhongxuan actually approached the girl gently, and reached out to remove the girl's veil.
This...... How is this possible!
As the veil was removed little by little, Shen Qiaoan saw an incredible scene!
