The Golden Hairpin

Behind him, Jing You had already set up a Hu stool in the shade of the locust tree. Li Shubai walked back and sat down, washing his hands and sitting down.

Jing Yu set a four-color refreshment, opened the ice bucket and started making iced drinks.

Huang Zixian took a cup of ice cheese and ate it. While watching Zhang Liu'er jumped up and down at the entrance of the waterway with a group of people like crazy, load after load of silt was transported out of the waterway, piled up like a mountain. Like, fortunately, they are far away, and they didn't smell the smell.

Mr. Jiang walked to Li Shubai's side with joy, and said excitedly: "This is the rule, the flood after the capital is absolutely rooted!"

"The Dao is one foot high and the Devil is one foot high. It won't take long for them to find a countermeasure-and I'm afraid they will work on you first."

Mr. Jiang immediately broke into a cold sweat, and said quickly: "Small people must act impartially and never dare to seek private matters for themselves!"

"I didn't mean it either. I was just worried that Mr. Jiang would not supervise them strictly when they saw their hard work. After all, this incident has caused the homes of Chang'an people to be destroyed."

"Yes, the little one knows where his responsibilities are, and he will never let go!"

When the sun was near noon, Zhang Liu'er, who had rolled into a mud monkey, finally got down on his heart. He came over and stammered to Li Shubai and said, "Master, this time... it should be almost done."

Li Shubai nodded, stood up and walked to the waterway.

Zhang Liuer took a bucket of water next to him and splashed it on himself, washed away the mud on his clothes and face, then retracted his body into the waterway.

He was really cruel this time, and Li Shubai slowly walked halfway down the waterway. He had already escaped from the exit, and there was not too much mud on his body.

"Yes, if it's all like this, do I still need this king to stare at it personally?" Li Shubai expressed gratification.

A group of onlookers next to each other talked about it, all of them beaming with joy. Someone yelled to Zhang Liuer: "Liu'er, run very fast! King Kui should ask you to climb all the waterways in the city, hahaha~"

Someone said: "What is Liu'er crawling over? Boss Qian should be asked to climb over, right?"

Amid the applause of the crowd, a short fat man in the crowd next to him shrank his head and stood there crying, with a sullen expression on his face.

Li Shubai saw him at a glance and motioned to Huang Zixia.

Mr. Jiang is greeting a group of people to collect the wages. Huang Zixia saw Zhang Liuer, who had received the money, walked to the short fat man and smiled bitterly at each other.

She walked to the short fat man and bowed her hands in a salute: "This eldest brother, what's your last name?"

When the short fat man saw the **** next to King Kui coming over, he hurriedly smiled: "I have seen the father-in-law! Father-in-law, the villain is terrified... I wonder why the father-in-law is looking for the villain?"

Huang Zixia asked, "You are the famous Qian Guansuo in Beijing, Boss Qian?"

"Oh, I dare not dare! The villain opened a few shops and talked to make ends meet." He nodded and bowed, as if she was a terrific figure. The waist of the short and chubby bucket could actually bend out of a semicircle. The radian is really rare.

Huang Zixia has seen many people of all kinds, but it is really rare for an **** to bow down and bow his waist like this. She was rather helpless and said: "Boss Qian, just ask a few words, don't be polite."

"Yes, yes, please say, father-in-law, the villain must know everything is endless!"

She gestured to the waterway in front and asked: "Zhang Liuer is familiar with you?"

"It's true, father-in-law, villain... there is a cart and horse shop, and then he took a group of masons to help people build houses, and then the villain... just took some work, and connected the waterways with these few people in Beijing. My brothers got in touch to do it together, so..."

Seeing his inexplicable expression, Zhang Liuer simply said to him directly: "I'm sorry, father-in-law, it's just that some of our laborers are working outside the yamen for private work, and occasionally helping Boss Qian do some work."

Although the yamen raised this group of people, it was no secret that they were taking on private work outside. Everyone kept one eye open, so Huang Zixia didn't care. Qian Guansuo was frightened, and quickly said: "The villain is guilty! The villain, please be punished by the father-in-law! Please be merciful and let the villain make a living..."

"Boss Qian, this matter has nothing to do with me. I am not asking you to pursue this matter." Huang Zixia was really helpless, so she motioned him to take a step to speak.

The two went under a low wall next to him, and Huang Zixia asked, "Does Boss Qian know Sun Lezi?"

"No... I don't know." As soon as this matter was mentioned, the flesh on Boss Qian’s fat face almost collapsed, extremely ugly, "Father-in-law, forgive me... the villain is really just a momentary impulse after drinking. , So he hacked the door of his house in the past...Everyone present at the time could testify for the villain, and when the villain entered, he was already dead to death!"

"I know this. I want to ask you, where were you at noon yesterday?"

"Yesterday at noon... I collected the account at Jinganfang! Many people can testify for me!" The fat on his face was shaking and excited, "The people at Dali Temple also checked it, really! Father-in-law, the villain is really bad! Yesterday the villain... also encountered a corpse! It is said that this bad luck will take three years! What about the villain's business, the villain didn't sleep all night last night..."

"So, have you ever seen Princess Tongchang's consort Wei Baoheng?" Huang Zixia interrupted his whine and asked.

He was stunned for a moment, his sad expression solidified on his fat face, which looked a little funny.

"You lied to the people in Dali Temple. In fact, you have seen the husband Mawei take care of the balance, haven't you?"

Qian Guansuo finally panicked, and tremblingly took out two pieces of silver from his arms and stuffed it into her hand, begging: "Father-in-law, father-in-law is forgiving...I did only meet the husbandman a few times, I... I didn't even say anything!"

"How many times?" Huang Zixia pushed Yin Zi back without blinking.

"Two...twice, really!"

"Boss Qian, do you know what is the crime of deceiving public servants, especially the officials of Dali Temple?"

"Three...three times! Really, once I just glanced at the gate of the mansion from a distance, the villain hurriedly...and left...so the villain only counted twice!" He couldn't wait to tear down. An extra piece of silver was inserted into her cuff.

Huang Zixia threw the silver back to him, and smiled: "The boss of the money, knowing that you have money, take so much money with you to go out. I am an eunuch, how can I use these? You still have to see the horse a few times, Tell me in detail."

"It is said that I have met three times in total. The first time was at the horse test field of the Department of Defense of the Capital, which is what you told me last time. Check it out, the cohort told them and the smelly people not to disturb the princess; the third time was outside the princess's house, he happened to see the cohort's carriage approaching, so he quickly avoided the corner of the street, not daring to rush forward."

Li Shubai didn't say anything after hearing this, but only asked, "Do you believe it?"

"Naturally don't believe it, a businessman like Qian Guansuo, as long as he has the opportunity, must do everything possible to get close to the consort, why would he hide on the side instead?"

Li Shubai was noncommittal and asked: "How did he explain lying to Dali Temple?"

"It was said that he knew that the consort had an accident, and it was related to the horse he bought for the defense department, and because the consort had criticized his horse, he was afraid of harming himself, so he simply said that he had never seen it."

"It sounds like it's reasonable." He said, stood up and said, "It's almost noon, let's go home. You let the kitchen arrange lunch on the pillows."

Huang Zixian hesitated a little, and did not dare to speak.

His eyes swept across her face: "What?"

"Zhou Ziqin has made an appointment with me...today at noon to go to the...Beijing Defense Department." She bit her head and said to him, like a thorn on her back, with a guilty conscience. ."

Li Shubai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he settled on her for a moment.

Even the summer sun at noon didn't make her sweat, but one of his eyes forced the sweat out of her whole body, and she didn't dare to lift her eyes.

Fortunately, just for a moment, Li Shubai turned his eyes and looked at the sky coldly and said: "As a **** in the palace, I am going to eat everywhere."

She cried silently in her heart, thinking, it's not because... Lord, did you make me impoverished? There must also be a way to go to Yamen for a meal!

"Yes... the slave maid convicted the guilt, and the slave maid went back to Zhou Ziqin..."

"No, lest you are in the heart of Cao Ying, thinking how delicious the food of the Beijing Defense Department is." He left her and turned away, ignoring her.

I feel... I didn't do anything wrong!

Huang Zixia felt that she was too wronged. Somehow she saved a meal for the Prince Kui's mansion. I don't know why the uncle turned his face to show her.

"Chonggu, what do you think?"

Zhou Ziqin rushed to put a hoof in her bowl, and said with flying brows: "Look at this hoof, half fat and half skinny. It happens to be two inches above the tip of the pig's hoof. The essence of the whole pig's hoof is here. One piece! Can grab the best piece of hoof among so many people, and that is a talent like me!"

"This summer..." She actually ate hoofs, and Zhou Ziqin actually wanted to **** her.

She looked at the case in front of her. The food provided by the Beijing Defense Department was really good, with chickens, ducks and fish. Today, in order to welcome the new Zhang Xingying, she even served a roast suckling pig.

"But having said that, Zhang Erge's riding skills are really good. It's only the first day today and he can control his horses freely. In a few days, he will get acquainted with his own horse, and he will be one of the best in the Department of Defense!" Zhou Zi Qin lowered his voice and discussed the scene of previous training with Huang Zixia.

Huang Zixian nodded, before eating a few bites, a group of people from the Department of Defense of the Capital lined up to toast.

"Duke Yang, our brother was really eye-opening the last time we hit the ball!"

"Yes, amazing skills! Admire it!"

"Come on, Grandpa Yang, I toast you a drink!"

"Brother Liu, don't fight with me! I'll be here first! Daddy Yang, please~"

Huang Zixia looked at the bunch of men waiting for him to drink, and was at a loss. Wang Yun came over and reprimanded: "Is it not Duke Yang’s opponent on the court, ready to get it back from the wine table? Duke Yang is very busy, and he will pay in the afternoon. I'm going to investigate the case. If you get him down, let's see if Dali Temple will ask you to settle the account!"

Everyone immediately became in awe: "Hey, will Grandpa Yang decide the case?"

Zhou Ziqin patted Huang Zixian on the shoulder and was more proud than he had solved the case: "The four plans for Beijing that were raging at the beginning of the year. Last month, the case of the two maidservants of the Langya family murdering the princess Kui was broken by the father-in-law Yang."

"Oh! Disrespect, disrespect!" A group of simple-minded men were shocked, and their eyes were full of admiration.

"Come on, father-in-law, for your heroic deeds, let's have another drink..."

"Get out of here!" Wang Yun scolded, blasting a group of people away, and turned to look at Huang Zixia helplessly, "I'm sorry, there is no way for a group of rough people in the Defense Department."

"Where, it's great here." It reminded her that when she was in Shu County, the group of catchers with her partner was the same, even the young people who like to make a noise when eating.

Huang Zixia turned to look at Zhang Xingying, who was supposed to be today's protagonist. There was a smile on his face, but his expression was always erratic, and his eyes didn't know where to look.

Huang Zixia sat down and asked him, "What's the matter, you still like the food made by Adi?"

He shook his head quickly and said: "It's delicious, it's delicious..." As if to prove his own words, he still squeezed a chicken leg in his mouth.

Huang Zixian also pretended not to know, picked up a bowl while eating greasy hoofs, and missed the dishes of King Kui's Mansion.
