"I, we met on the road." Qin Lian thought for a moment and said, "We came to Luoxi Town this time to do something, and we happened to meet the bandits on Tieniu Mountain halfway. We knew they were coming. News from Luoxi Town, and they are going to Chunhua Manor!"
When Huang Zhenxiong heard her words, he frowned in thought, and his eyes that fell on them were still sharp.
But after a moment, Huang Captou nodded, "Okay, I already know what you said. You can go back. Be careful on the way and don't let Yu Xiangqin know about your situation."
Su Liuye was stunned for a moment, thinking that the Yamen would immediately send someone to intercept her. After all, Yu Xiangqin was considered a villain in this area. Even if the evidence in hand was insufficient, at least he had to pay attention to her itinerary.
But Huang Captou remained unmoved.
Maybe...he has his own ideas?
Su Liuye didn't dare to say anything more, so she responded and took Qin Lian and the others out of the Yamen.
There was something wrong with Qin Lian's expression, but Su Liuye didn't want to say more here, so he took the two of them to the city gate and found a more remote noodle stall.
They ate a bowl of noodles in a hurry and wanted to wait here for Shi Feng and the others to come over, but Old Man Liu said that he would take them to Chunhua Manor for a look.
Su Liuye thought about it and felt it made sense. Shi Feng was following Yu Xiangqin. By the time Shi Feng arrived, Yu Xiangqin would have already arrived, so he might as well go over first and find out everything.
"You two ladies, this way."
Old Man Liu led them along the street for nearly half an hour before arriving at the three-story teahouse. The plaque "Chunhuazhuang" hangs high on the main entrance, with gold foil attached to the words, making it look very noble.
"Why are there so many people coming in and out here?"
Qin Lian stood outside and watched for a while, and soon realized something was wrong.
She used to greet guests in the Cyclamen hall every day, and she knew exactly how many people came and went. But now, there are more people coming in and out of Chunhua Manor than Cyclamen!
You know, Xiankelai is a restaurant, and Chunhuazhuang is a tea house. This number of customers is obviously wrong.
Su Liuye also discovered this. She took a closer look, and suddenly her expression changed, "Lianlian, look at that person quickly!"
Qin Lian looked in the direction she said and saw a wealthy businessman with a big belly coming out of Chunhua Manor. The servant behind him was holding several brocade boxes in his hands.
All this seemed quite normal, but the servant accidentally dropped it and the brocade box in his hand fell to the ground, and the contents wrapped in silk rolled out of the brocade box.
Su Liuye took a look and felt that this thing looked a bit like smoke.
This is a prohibited contraband in the Great Xia Kingdom. Smoking tobacco can be harmful to life, but it is extremely easy to become addicted. It has harmed many people and even officials.
The emperor was furious when he found out about this and ordered all the cigarettes to be destroyed. However, many people still carried out this illegal trade in private.
Something is very wrong with Chunhua Village!
"A Liu, what is that? It doesn't look like tea." Qin Lian came from a small rural area. Naturally, she had never seen smoke, but she could tell that the stuff inside was not tea.
"these are……"
The old man Liu next to him had a strange expression. Seeing that Su Liuye wanted to explain to Qin Lian, he interrupted Su Liuye in time, "Little lady, there are many people here, let's go somewhere else first."
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong with you?"
Su Liuye didn't react at first, but after seeing people coming and going, she finally reacted.
The people who come and go in this area are all guests of Chunhua Manor. It is really not good for them to talk about this matter here. It will be troublesome if they are heard.
After Su Liuye and the two left with Old Man Liu and went to a remote alley, Su Liuye asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know what kind of business Chunhua Village does?"
"I'm in the tea business."
Old man Liu said confusedly, "My dear lady, is there any problem with this? Although I am not from Luoxi Town, I often bring guests here. Chunhuazhuang is a famous tea shop, and many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries visit it. Came here!”
"Oh, that's right! The son of an old friend of mine works as a waiter nearby. I heard that occasionally officials can come here to sell tea. It is said that there is a lot of high-quality tea here, and there are all kinds of tributes. The emperor drinks it. Same."
Rich businessmen, officials...
Listening to these words, Su Liuye felt a little numb.
The purpose of these people coming to Chunhua Village is probably not to buy tea, but to buy those big cigarettes!
If they really had some secret dealings with Yu Xiangqin, it would be difficult for her to bring down Yu Xiangqin.
Now I can only rely on the little prince...
But the premise is that they have to rescue the little prince.
"A Liu, what happened? Are we still staring at Chunhua Manor now?" Qin Lian asked worriedly.
Su Liuye thought for a moment.
Nowadays, the relationship network behind Yu Xiangqin is too complicated, and it is no longer something that a little person like her can handle.
"Let's go first. Let's sit at a tea stall nearby and wait to see when the little prince will come. Then we'll wait for Shi Feng."
"OK!"
Qin Lian responded.
There are some high-end shops in this area, and they had to go to the next street to find a few tea stalls.
Su Liuye deliberately chose a hidden place. From here through the alley, he could just see a corner of Chunhua Manor, and he could also see what was going on there.
"Are any of you from other places?"
The owner of the tea stall brought them tea. When he saw Su Liuye looking towards Chunhua Village, the owner asked strangely.
Only then did Su Liuye realize that her actions were too obvious. Just as she was about to explain, the old man Liu next to him chuckled, "We are from other places, but I have been to Luoxi Town several times. I am pulling a carriage. Yes, these two young ladies are my guests, and I will take them around the town today."
"So that's it."
Hearing this, the tea stall owner sighed, but his eyes were a little sad, "I saw that this young lady has been staring at Chunhua Manor, and I thought you were going to find someone there."
"Oh?" Su Liuye heard this and said suspiciously, "Uncle, why are you saying these things? Isn't Chunhua Village a tea shop? Why go back there to find someone?"
"this……"
The tea stall owner hesitated to speak, his expression was full of confusion, he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
When Su Liuye saw his expression, her thoughts suddenly changed.
She looked around and saw no one around. She lowered her voice and said, "Uncle, do you know anything related to Chunhua Manor? To be honest, we didn't come to Chunhua Manor to find anyone. I was worried that Chunhua Manor would Bring people in.”
Hearing Su Liuye's words, the tea stall owner's eyes suddenly brightened, and he understood Su Liuye's words instantly.
