"Xiang Yun, Miss Liu, why don't you call me earlier if you have such a nice Qin Zheng." The ghost face, wearing a green shirt and taking off his mask, waved his folding fan gently and walked slowly towards the two of them.
"How could it be? Just look at the tea and it's already ready for you." Tong Bo pointed towards the tureen on the empty seat opposite.
"Brother Ren, actually Brother Xiangyun called you here to inquire about something." Liu Ningshi watched Tong Bo and Ghost Face bickering as soon as they met, and smiled with her lips pursed.
"Hey! I knew that was the case. How could someone as stingy as Xiang Yun treat me to tea for nothing?" Ghost Face shook his head helplessly.
"What are you talking about? What kind of person am I?" Tong Bo looked at the table with a straight face: "Miss Liu, please don't incite feelings between our brothers."
"Brother Xiangyun, please stop making excuses." Liu Ningshi blinked at the ghost face: "If you have anything you want to ask Brother Ren, just ask."
"Did the Tingwei Mansion order Miss Yanran to be taken away?" Tong Bo suppressed his smile and asked seriously.
"The Tingwei Mansion did want to take Miss Yanran back for questioning a while ago." Ghost Face looked at Mi Su who was playing on the stage, and then at Tong Bo: "But due to lack of manpower at that time, they entrusted Jingwei to Wu Jifeng from the mansion is here."
"Wu Jifeng?" Tong Bo frowned: "What? Was he released from your place?"
"It was Murong Li's grandson who did it. Not only was he released, but he also returned to your Xuanwu Academy to continue working as an errand." Ghost Face felt aggrieved when he mentioned Murong Li.
"Brother Ren, that girl Yanran should be in your Tingwei Mansion, right?" Liu Ningshi looked at Tong Bo beside her: "Ningshi would like to meet, what is so special about the person that Brother Xiangyun praises so much? "
"Ahem!" Tong Bo coughed twice in embarrassment: "Kid, since Miss Liu wants to see you, you have to find a way to satisfy her."
"Miss Liu, forgive me for being powerless." Ghost Face shook his head: "It is said that Wu Jifeng was attacked on the way to escort Miss Yanran to Tingwei's Mansion that day, and he is still lying in bed recovering from his injuries."
"Where did Miss Yanran go?" Liu Ningshi asked.
"Missing." Ghost Face sighed.
"Tch! It seems we have to meet this Wu Jifeng for a while." Tong Bo took another sip of tea: "But before that, kid, can you arrange for me and Miss Liu to meet this Miss Misu alone? "
"Miss Misu is the top musician of the Wujian Band, so the silver price is naturally very high..." Ghost Face faced Tong Bo and stretched out his right palm.
"If I need money, why should I ask you to arrange something? I won't go there myself?" Tong Bo rolled his face angrily.
"Pfft." Liu Ningshi couldn't help but smile sweetly: "Brother Xiangyun is really stingy."
"Hey! Forget it, let me try it." Ghost Face stood up helplessly: "But if this matter is to be completed, a pot of knives is still needed."
"Well, you can still consider this." Tong Bo urged: "Go quickly, leave it alone."
In just one cup of tea, the ghost face came back again: "Miss Misu invites you to go to her boudoir to chat; Xiangyun, you want this burning knife..."
"Kid, when have I ever relied on you for anything?" Tong Bo didn't wait for Ghost Face to finish speaking, and smiled at Liu Ningshi: "In this case, we can't be more respectful."
"Brother Ren, let's go over first." Liu Ningshi also stood up after Tong Bo and cast an apologetic look at the ghost face.
"This Xiangyun doesn't let anyone finish his speech." Ghost Face turned around and said, "That's fine, it's a rare moment of leisure. I haven't enjoyed tea and listened to music like this for a long time."
Misu's boudoir is opposite Yanran's boudoir. The moment Liu Ningshi steps into it, she feels like she is in a sea of red. The mahogany couch, mahogany dressing table, mahogany table top and red futon, even The incense burner on the table was also painted with a layer of red paint.
"Two guests, please take a seat." Mi Su stood up from the futon, smiled and bowed to Tong Bo and Liu Ningshi, saying blessings.
"Miss Misu, you don't have to be polite." Tong Bo bowed in return with a smile, walked across the aisle and knelt down on the futon opposite Misu.
"Miss Misu is really attentive. She even made the tea." Liu Ningshi knelt down beside Tong Bo and picked up the red cup and smelled it: "It smells good."
"I wonder what the two guests have to do to meet Mi Su?" Mi Su smiled and looked at the two of them with a naive expression: "Do you want Mi Su to play the piano for you two?"
"The two of us have just admired Ms. Misu's zheng skills in the lobby." Tong Bo smiled and said, "I only want to ask about one person when I come here this time?"
"I wonder who the two girls want to inquire about?" Misu gently moved his hands on his red wooden zither, and the sound of the zither suddenly sounded like water in the room.
"I wonder if the girl has any impression of Li Shu?" Liu Ningshi asked after taking Tong Bo's words.
"Yes, a customer with a sly eyebrow is very generous in offering rewards." Mi Su mentioned this Li Shujiao and smiled: "But he seems to have a good impression of Miss Yanran, and the reward is one hundred and fifty taels."
"Then did Li Shu reward you?" Liu Ningshi also met Li Shu at Ye Hu's engagement party: "That wretched appearance is so generous."
"Yes, I only have thirty taels of silver." Mi Su said with an envious smile, "Miss Yanran is still lucky."
"Oh? Miss Misu, I'm sure you remember correctly. Did Li Shu only reward you thirty taels?" Tong Bo asked suddenly.
"No, the daily rewards will be recorded in Yinlefang's account books." Misu looked puzzled: "Why would the guest officer ask this?"
"Nothing." Tong Bo waved his hand: "I wonder if Misu can let me see the banknote that Li Shu rewarded you?"
"I have exchanged the banknotes with Mother Wu for scraps of silver." Mi Su shook her head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to help the guest officer."
"It's okay. I know this is an excessive request." Tong Bo stood up with a smile: "In that case, I won't disturb Miss Misu. I'll take my leave."
"Greetings, gentlemen, Shu Misu will see you off not far away." Misu also stood up and saluted.
"These flowers are blooming so beautifully." As Liu Ningshi stood up, she suddenly saw a bouquet of snow-white flowers exuding the fragrance of gardenia on Misu's dressing table.
"If your guest likes it, Mi Su can give this flower as a gift." Mi Su smiled sweetly at Liu Ningshi.
"Haha!" Tong Bo reached out and stopped in front of Liu Ningshi: "As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others like. This flower is Miss Misu's favorite thing. How can we take it away from each other?"
"Brother Xiangyun is right, Miss Misu, take your leave." Liu Ningshi knew that Tong Bo's words must have deep meaning, so she began to decline.
"In this case, Misu won't force it any more." Misu smiled and bowed, "Two guests, go slowly."
"Brother Xiangyun, was there something wrong with that flower just now?" Liu Ningshi asked quietly as she left Misu's room.
"The name of the flower is Chao jiahua, which is a famous flower unique to Nanzhong." Tong Bo walked forward as if nothing had happened, but he used the secret transmission method: "I have been to that place in Nanzhong, so I know this flower."
"Are you saying that Miss Misu is probably from Nanzhong?" Liu Ningshi also used a secretive voice: "But looking at her clothes and appearance, they don't look alike."
"Miss Liu, are you from Jinling?" Tong Bo did not answer Liu Ningshi's question directly, but asked a question.
"Me?" Liu Ningshi was stunned for a moment, then understood: "Brother Xiangyun said that Miss Misu has been coming to Jinling City for some years."
"That's right!" Tong Bo continued to enter the secret: "And I just asked about the amount of silver reward, and what she said was exactly the opposite of what Miss Yanran said."
"Then one of them must have told a lie?" Liu Ningshi said secretly: "Didn't Miss Misu say that she could check the account books?"
"Hmph! I have said before that sometimes what you see with your eyes may not be true. Some things have to be felt with your heart." Tong Bo showed his profound eyes again: "Account books can be falsified, but so can people's hearts.
Test. "
"Hmph! Brother Xiangyun is saying some confusing words again." Liu Ningshi pouted her little mouth, showing a cute look.
"By the way, how is Da Fang doing lately?" Tong Bo changed the topic at the right time: "I heard that since he was cleared of suspicion, he is living a very comfortable life."
"I also said that I got drunk with that Zhou Ling every day." The two of them talked and came to where they were sitting in the lobby.
"Kid, you are quite comfortable." Tong Bo looked at the ghost face who was squinting his eyes and tapping his folding fan rhythmically on the table: "Let's go and do some business."
"Ah! Are you going to finish talking so quickly?" Ghost Face opened his eyes when Tong Bo shouted and complained: "I still want to listen a little longer."
"When the business is done, Miss Liu can ask you to listen to your content." Tong Bo grabbed Guimian's sleeve and ran out.
"Ah! Wait, why am I inviting you?" Liu Ningshi also ran out.
"Come on, Master Zhou, Da Fang will give you another drink." An Da Fang's room smelled of alcohol and the smell of burning knives filled the room.
"An, Chief An, don't be so polite." The plates on the two-person table had long been cleared away, leaving only a few peanuts and a pile of peanut skins scattered everywhere.
"Advocate Zhou, it has been revealed that Su Xing ordered the assassination of this Li Shu. Why is the Tingwei Mansion still delaying in judging him?" An Dafang's face turned red after drinking, and he could hardly speak clearly: "And I heard that , His Majesty seems to have unblocked all the Su family’s shops recently, what does that mean?”
"An, Chief An, please be at ease. Ling will go to Tingwei's Mansion again in the future to urge you to handle this matter. You must let Zhi Shan give you an explanation." Zhou Ling also took it with a blush on his face. A peanut was thrown into his mouth.
"Brother Da Fang, why does your room smell so heavy of alcohol?" An Da Fang's room was pushed open with a "squeak", and Liu Ningshi flapped her beautiful hand directly in front of her nose.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou is a good debater and a better drinker." Tong Bo also praised him as he entered the room, feeling very uncomfortable looking at the mess.
"Ning Shi, Xiang Yun, come and pull me." An Dafang's eyes were blurred and he looked like he was about to fall asleep at any moment: "Come on, let's have a drink together."
"Oh, the smell here is really nostalgic." Ghost Face said in praise after entering the house.
"Tch! A bunch of drunkards." Tong Bo felt that since An Dafang became the chief of the guard, he and he were obviously far apart: "Forget it, I'll go find this Wu Jifeng myself."
