The late-night snacks are exquisite, but not exaggerated.
It's nothing more than a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus, lotus root, and two cups of wine-filled Yuanxiao.
Such a sweet and warm bowl is perfect for those who have just cried.
"I asked you during the day why you weren't afraid that I was really the gangster who robbed the escort. Your reaction at that time was very normal."
Han Dongwen looked at the lychee blowing Yuanxiao in front of him and said, "So I guess this is not the first time you have encountered someone like me who has been falsely accused of robbing an escort, right?"
Lychee smiled and sighed: "There are many people who have been falsely accused, but there are very few people with quick brains like you. Maybe the shopkeeper is interested in your brain."
Han Dongwen smiled noncommittally and pushed the plate of osmanthus, honey and lotus root in front of him.
"As you think, you are indeed not the first person to be framed in Haizhou. Haizhou is a commercial port, with a lot of trade, so it naturally requires the care of the escort agency. It is not surprising that there are robberies of escorts. "
She blew the small, white and waxy Yuanxiao into her mouth, making a contented and pleasant sound.
Han Dongwen nodded: "So, the Qimen Escort Bureau reported the fabricated crime of robbing an escort? How good is their relationship with the Justice Department? How can they accuse others of robbing an escort when they clearly haven't lost anything?"
Lychee shook his head: "I usually stay in this building, and I don't know much about it, but... whenever someone from the Justice Department comes, the people in the building are never polite. Perhaps like other places, the Justice Department and the The soldiers are incompatible with each other."
That would be strange.
After hearing this, Han Dongwen was silent for a long time, which was somewhat inconsistent with his guess.
The Department of National Law is responsible for escorting escorts, robbing escorts, and reporting to officials. If the Qimen Escort Bureau colludes with the Department of National Law and can fabricate charges of robbing escorts when nothing is missing, then that's fine.
But since the Qimen Escort Bureau is siding with the National Military Department and the relationship with the National Law Department is not harmonious, then they can only report to the official if the escort is indeed missing.
Only if an escort is really robbed, then the Qimen Escort Agency, as the party involved, can manipulate the process of identifying, reporting to the official, withdrawing the complaint, etc., to achieve the purpose of seizing the person with the help of the National Justice Department.
But it is unlikely that this method is used frequently.
For an escort bureau, the escorts who are under pressure are often robbed, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the reputation on the road.
If things continue like this, how come there are still people looking for escorts from Qimen Escort Agency?
He mentioned this question to Li Zhi, who could only shake his head with a wry smile: "I really don't know about those things. Whether it is the Qimen Escort Agency or the Yihong Building, there is no shortage of money. I think Their business is not affected."
"All right."
Han Dongwen did not show any discouragement. He thought for a moment and changed the topic: "Your brother Zhang Sihai should be able to be released from prison smoothly, right?"
Litchi nodded. Although there were many things going on today, and although the changes were huge, after all, his brother was only in the cell for half a day, so he was very lucky.
"What are your plans after redeeming yourself?" Han Dongwen asked.
"Who knows, when I was in this building, all I could think about was when I could go out. There is always something to do when I go out in such a big world."
Li Zhi turned to look at Xiao Han Dongwen's eyes, and said with emotion: "The last benefactor is a person like Shaoxia. It is a lucky thing for me. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I will It couldn’t be better.”
She paused for a moment, as if she was afraid that Han Dongwen wouldn't believe it, and quickly added: "What I told the truth this time."
"I know."
Han Dongwen gently shook her hand: "The world is not easy. You and your brother depend on each other. If Haizhou falls into chaos in the future, you must remember to protect yourself wisely."
"Chaos..."
Li Zhi sighed and seemed to have no intention of having another late-night snack. She just looked up and looked out the window: "If the imperial court hadn't fainted and insisted on provoking Blood Harbor, Haizhou wouldn't have..."
Halfway through her words, she looked back at Han Dongwen as if she had a grudge.
"There are only you and me here, what are you afraid of?" he said immediately.
It is a serious crime to make irresponsible remarks about the imperial court and criticize the emperor.
But even if this is classified as a felony, it is impossible for one person to eavesdrop or gag.
Even after the door is closed, the people will still scold them when they need to.
Lizhi lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry... I also accompanied some high-ranking people in the building. They threatened me at that time, saying that if I said this, I might be arrested and taken back to Siyang. Imprisoned in the Dingfa Pavilion."
"Anyway, if you were to be arrested for saying something against the Emperor, then the Dingfa Pavilion would have been overcrowded long ago."
Han Dongwen smiled heartily: "I think the current emperor has no ability at all, why can't we talk about it?"
"I think so too."
Hearing what Han Dongwen said, Li Zhi was a little excited: "Obviously when we had contact with Blood Harbor before, there was a constant stream of people coming and going in Haizhou, and the people all made a living. This time I heard that we were talking to their business envoys. The business is not only about eating and drinking wine, but also suddenly trying to conjure up the banquet in one day. Tell me, isn’t this forcing the servant to death? "
"How come you know so clearly that you went to Siyang?" Han Dongwen asked in surprise.
Lychee shook his head: "I didn't go, but the new cook in the building came to Siyang a few days ago. He said that that day, all the cooks in Siyang were scolding him, and the good ingredients were suddenly being used by the palace. It’s really bullying to pick and choose.”
"This, this is it."
Han Dongwen felt a little guilty. He originally just wanted to echo Li Zhi a little, but he didn't expect that he could use all the opponent's skills with a single A.
"Didn't I invite the immortal to celebrate the New Year a few days ago and make a concubine?" Li Zhi thought of something again.
"Yes, yes." Han Dongwen struggled to maintain a calm expression: "What happened to the ceremony?"
"In the past five or six years, when did the emperor come out for the annual ceremony? This time, in order to establish the concubine, he took the concubine to the border to supervise the war for fun. After the fun was over, he ran back to hold the prepared ceremony. , I think it’s the same as what I heard, I’m afraid he’s just obsessed with women, in this world, Simeng is really..."
Seeing that Li Zhi went astray while talking, Han Dongwen quickly interrupted: "Then, supervising the war should not just be for fun. If it weren't for the imperial court's action, Liangzhou would not be back in Simeng's hands. This is not a good thing. ?"
"That too……"
Li Zhi thought for a while and then said angrily: "Taking back Liangzhou is definitely a good thing, but that is probably the result of the officials of the imperial court. Is it possible that the emperor and the concubine went to the battlefield to fight? Isn't this just to go there? Is it just for fun? I see, since the death of Jingzong, the imperial court now really relies on the loyal and good officials in the three divisions to withstand this torment. I heard that after the observance of filial piety is over, there will be a coronation ceremony. I don’t know what will happen then. What a grand occasion!”
As she spoke, her whole body relaxed, and in the end she couldn't help but yawn. She looked at Han Dongwen with a tired look in her eyes: "I'm sorry, young hero, I must have lost my head today. , having said so many irrelevant things... I wish the young hero all the best tomorrow, and if Lizhi is still in Haizhou, he will definitely visit the young hero in the flag gate."
Han Dongwen's smiling face had become stiff, so he had no choice but to nod his head and send her to rest.
