The three of them walked into the restaurant chatting and laughing. Food and wine were already prepared, including a plate of stewed chicken, a plate of peanuts, a stir-fried cabbage, and a radish pickle!
After looking at these dishes, Zhao Xuanyi knew that Wang Heming should be an upright person! Except for the chicken, which is slightly more expensive, the four dishes are all cheap. It seems that this young minister is not a money-grubbing person. He treats guests so plainly and unpretentiously. He should be an upright official!
Wang Heming raised his glass
"Come on, let us three brothers have a good drink today!"
"Come on, come on!" Li Hanrui and Zhao Xuanyi also raised their wine glasses, and the three of them drank together. Li Hanrui looked at Wang Heming
"I haven't heard of anything going on in the capital recently, so you have a lot of time!" Wang Heming laughed.
"I wish it would be like this every day, but...I heard something recently. Brother Li, did you redeem Xue'er? You didn't even mention setting up a table and treating me to a drink. It's a shame I lent you money in the first place!" "Speaking of Xue'er, Li Hanrui felt as if he had fallen into a honey jar.
"Haha, I have to thank my all-powerful brother-in-law for this! Otherwise, where would I get the five thousand taels of Xue'er?"
"Oh?" Wang Heming turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, his eyes full of doubts
"Master Zhao's father is a well-known honest official in the court. How can he get so much money?" Zhao Xuanyi took a look and thought to himself, I'm not your prisoner. Why do you think so of me?
"Nothing. I just made something casually and sold it to you?" Zhao Xuanyi said here. He looked around and saw that besides the three of them, there was another table of guests in the restaurant.
Looking at the attire, he should be an ordinary person, so Zhao Xuanyi continued.
"I just made something casually and sold it to my father-in-law for some money!" After hearing this, Wang Heming was very curious.
"What did Mr. Zhao make? Can it be exchanged for so much silver? Can you tell me?"
"This...?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Li Hanrui and thought, I don't know the details of your brother. As for whether to tell or not, it's up to you!
Li Hanrui said in a low voice
"My brother-in-law is amazing. He has made the best bow in the world, the Fate-taking Skywing Bow. Now he has given the blueprints to the military camp. Our military camp is being built. When it is finished, I will give you one!"
"Tianyi Bow? Is it powerful?" Wang Heming has also been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he also likes weapons very much!
"The best bow in the world, you think about it for yourself! When you get it, I guarantee you will hold it while you sleep!" Li Hanrui said mysteriously.
"Hey, I'll thank you both first. Come on, let's have a drink!" Wang Heming raised his glass, and the three of them were eating, talking and laughing. The atmosphere was very harmonious!
The three of them had just finished a bottle of wine and were about to ask for another bottle. At this time, a man in official uniform walked in from outside and came to Wang Heming. He cupped his fists and had a troubled expression on his face.
"Shaoqing, something happened!" When Wang Heming heard this, his face instantly turned ugly.
"Didn't you see that I'm drinking? I'm off today. If I have something to do, go see You Shaoqing!" The man looked around and saw no one around him, and whispered.
"Shaoqing, this is unusual. A man died in Zuichun Tower just now. This man was a doctor from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The matter is serious, so...?" Upon hearing that a court official had died, Wang Heming There was a look of embarrassment on his face. After all, this was not an ordinary thing, and what kind of person Li Hanrui was could be seen at a glance, and he smiled slightly.
"Brother, you don't have to be embarrassed. Why don't we brothers get together whenever we want? In this way, you go do the business first. We are having a great time today! The business is important!" Wang Heming looked at Li Hanrui with a look of shame.
"I originally wanted to have a good drink with my eldest brother and keep him drunk. Who knew something would happen at this time? Brother, the person who died was a doctor from the Ministry of Finance. Do you want to go and see too?"
"Is this...appropriate?" Li Hanrui wanted to take a look, but after all, he was not from Dali Temple, so he probably had to avoid suspicion!
"As you said, you are a dignified third-grade general, and it is your responsibility to protect the country. Why not go and have a look? We haven't solved the problem together for a long time, let's go!" Wang Heming enthusiastically invited!
Li Hanrui looked at Zhao Xuanyi
"Brother-in-law, do you dare to go? How about I ask the carriage to take you back home?" Zhao Xuanyi secretly smiled in his heart, something happened at Zuichun Tower, it must be fun
"No, what's so scary about dead people? I'll go and watch the excitement too! Isn't it convenient?" Wang Heming laughed.
"What's the inconvenience? Let's go together!" Just like that, Wang Heming paid the money, and the three of them took Li Hanrui's carriage and came to Zuichun Tower together. They ended up outside Zuichun Tower. Well, the capital is so A famous court official died in a famous brothel. This didn't mean it disappeared. The common people surrounded Zuichun Tower on three floors and three outside!
Zhao Xuanyi got out of the car and saw that he couldn't get in! There were too many people, at least about 300 people. At this time, a dozen guards in golden armor were pushing people out at the entrance of Zuichun Tower.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" These dozen people squeezed through the crowd and came outside. When they saw Wang Heming, they clasped their fists and saluted.
"Shaoqing, you're here!" Wang Heming's face was as heavy as water.
"Well! You bunch of freeloaders have come to find me for such a small matter. Where is Zhang Jinghua?"
"Shaoqing, you Shaoqing just came in!"
"Trash! Let's go and have a look!" Wang Heming said and walked inside. Li Hanrui and Zhao Xuanyi also followed in, but were stopped by the guards of Dali Temple. Wang Heming turned around and shouted angrily.
"They are all my brothers, get out of the way!" Upon hearing this, the guards all moved out of the way! Zhao Xuanyi followed a group of people into Zuichun Tower. After entering, he saw that the hall was very lively. Hundreds of people were divided into two parts. On the left was a group of guests, all men, and on the right were the girls accompanying the drinks, all with orange faces. Currently being questioned by the guards of Dali Temple!
When Mrs. Wang saw Wang Heming coming, she hurried over and trotted over.
"Oh, my Lord Shaoqing, you are here. You said that we opened the door for business and did not recruit or provoke anyone. Why did this happen to us? Hey? Mr. Li? Mr. Zhao? You guys? You're here too, great, you guys have to help me?" Wang Heming turned around and thought it was normal for Li Hanrui to come here. Xue'er was here before, the two of them had been here too, and Zhao Xuanyi would also be attracted by Wang's mother. remember?
This is a bit strange, considering that Zhao Xuanyi just got married!
"Master Zhao is also familiar with this place?" Wang Heming asked.
"Uh...?" Zhao Xuanyi really didn't know how to answer.
"It's familiar! Yesterday, an ordinary handkerchief was sold here for more than one hundred taels of silver!" Mother Wang said quickly.
"ah?"
"Ah?" The first voice was from Wang Heming, and the second voice was from Li Hanrui. The two looked at each other. Wang Heming looked at Li Hanrui with questioning eyes. Li Hanrui shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know what was going on. ah?
"You came yesterday?" Li Hanrui asked.
"That? Yes, passing by, passing by!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled awkwardly! Wang Heming is concerned about another thing
"A handkerchief was sold for more than a hundred taels of silver? What kind of expensive handkerchief is it?"
"I bought it for dozens of pennies on the street. Mr. Zhao is really smart. He used a little trick to sell it for more than one hundred and sixty taels!" Mother Wang didn't see the problem yet, and she kept praising him from the sidelines!
"What?" Li Hanrui and Wang Heming shouted in unison. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, are you concerned?
"Luck, luck!" Li Hanrui and Wang Heming looked at each other and pulled Zhao Xuanyi to the left and right.
"Brother-in-law, what method did you use? A handkerchief sold for one hundred and sixty taels? Can you teach me?"
"Yes, brother, is it legal?" Wang Heming asked.
"This...?" Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, who wouldn't be tempted by the money? Looking at the two of you, you probably have forgotten everything about your death, right?
"Shaoqing, the deceased is in the private room on the second floor!" a guard said.
"Okay! Got it!" Wang Heming finished speaking and patted Zhao Xuanyi on the shoulder.
"Let's chat slowly later!" After saying that, he walked upstairs. Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanrui also walked upstairs. When they reached the second floor, they saw a man who had shot through the silver armor talking to Tang Rou. Looking at Tang Rou's impatient look, she probably hated this. man!
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Rou turned her head and saw Zhao Xuanyi, Li Hanrui and others coming. She felt as if she had met a relative and hurried over. When she came to Zhao Xuanyi, her expression was very excited.
"Mr. Zhao, you just left yesterday, why are you here today? Miss me?" Li Hanrui and Wang Heming looked at Zhao Xuanyi with strange eyes, as if they felt that there was some unclear relationship between Zhao Xuanyi and Tang Rou.
Zhao Xuanyi immediately retorted
"I was drinking with my second brother. I heard that you have a happy event here...? There is a dead person. Come and have a look. Miss Tang Rou, please respect yourself. You are now a suspect!" Zhao Xuanyi looked like he was incorruptible and put his arm Take Tang Rou's jade hand away!
Tang Rou felt very unhappy when she saw Zhao Xuanyi being so indifferent.
"What are you talking about? What kind of suspect? I wasn't even there. I came here when I heard the screaming below. What kind of suspect? You're talking nonsense!"
"Really?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Rou with suspicion, and Tang Rou looked at Zhao Xuanyi with an angry look.
When Zhang Jinghua saw Wang Heming coming, he walked over quickly
"Master Wang!" Wang Heming just glanced at Zhang Jinghua lightly and snorted with his nose. Even if he said hello, it was obvious that Wang Heming didn't like this person very much!
When Zhang Jinghua saw Wang Heming's expression, he knew that he would be unhappy if he was pulled out of his rest day.
"I told you, Mr. Wang is off today, who bothered you here? Ignorance!" Zhang Jinghua looked at the group of people behind him and shouted. Naturally, these subordinates did not dare to speak.
Wang Heming chuckled lightly and said nothing.
"Where is the deceased?"
"Here, Qingheju!" After a guard said this, he asked Wang Heming to come over, and Li Hanrui and Zhao Xuanyi also came over.
When I walked into the room, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a gray gown lying on the dining table in the room. He looked like he was asleep, but everyone knew that this man was already dead. Standing next to him was a man who was probably in his fifties, so he must be a widower!
When Wu Zuo saw Wang Heming coming, he quickly stood up from the body and walked over.
"Shaoqing, you are here!"
"Well! What's the condition of the deceased?" Wang Heming asked directly.
"The deceased was Guo Da, the Minister of Household Affairs. There were no external injuries or wounds on his body. His pupils were dilated. There was no bleeding from his ears, nose or mouth. He didn't look like he was poisoned. The specific cause of death needs to be taken back for careful examination! "Wusuo replied hurriedly.
