Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

This is not a very big and very good restaurant. It seems to be only two stories high. There is a dine-in restaurant on the first floor. There is a large patio in the middle of the second floor. You can see the square stage below, and there are four enclosed private rooms on all sides.. At this time, there were several tables of drinkers sitting in the hall on the first floor, but the private room was empty.

When the waiter saw that Zhong Wanling was wearing a sky silk round-neck robe that was worth a lot of money, he quickly came up to greet her.

Zhong Wanling threw a piece of silver into the waiter's arms and complained:"I'm so exhausted, young master. Hurry up and make a cleaner private room for me."

The waiter happily put the broken silver into the waiter's arms. In his arms, he led the two of them to the private room on the second floor facing the street.

Zhong Wanling glanced at the canopy-like ivy outside the window, nodded, sat down by the window, and said:"This is the one. Bring a pot of good wine and two plates of refreshing side dishes and fruits. It's disgusting to prepare those big fish and meat for me."

"okay~！"The waiter agreed happily. I closed the carved door of the private room and went downstairs.

Zhong Wanling immediately formed a seal and set up a soundproof barrier in the private room. Then he returned to normal. He turned over the two small teacups on the table, poured some herbal tea from the pot into the cup, and handed a cup to Mu Xiao. Sichuan. This tea is very ordinary. I don’t know how long it has been there. Since Zhong Wanling was taken back to Lao Xianmen, her life has been comfortable, but she has never cared about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Although Mu Xiaochuan is also a son of an aristocratic family, the Mu family in Nantianmen has a frugal family tradition and a family motto not to care about external things. The two of them drank happily

"Hey, Brother Mu, you are so smart in spiritual practice, but why are you so stupid in dealing with things?"Zhong Wanling took a gulp of tea and couldn't help complaining.

Mu Xiaochuan almost choked on the water and looked at Zhong Wanling innocently before realizing that Zhong Wanling was talking about their leaving Yuefu. Speaking of this, Mu Xiaochuan also He was wondering. He couldn't understand it since Zhong Wanling suddenly changed his attitude and refused the commission from the Jiaofang Division.

"Junior sister, what on earth is going on? In the end what you want?"

Zhong Wanling poured himself another cup of herbal tea and drank it. He glanced at Mu Xiaochuan and found that his senior brother really didn't understand at all. He sighed:"That envoy knows about the disappearance."

Mu Xiaochuan felt that these words were said in vain. How could the client not know anything about the entrustment?

"The person who entrusted us with the investigation was the steward, not the envoy, and the steward obviously wanted to suppress the matter and not let the envoy know about it, at least before finding the girl, she didn't want the superior to know. Mu

Xiaochuan thought for a while, frowned and said,"Isn't that right? The envoy probably went to Lefang by chance and happened to hear the stewards torture the girls, so he found out about this.""

Zhong Wanling shook his finger and said with a smile:"Do you still remember when he came? When he came, I stopped the steward to vent his anger and beat the little girl. No one said anything about the girl's disappearance before or after that, or even what the steward was entrusted with. How did he know? Secondly, the steward must conceal the envoy. When she comes to find us, she will try her best to avoid being caught by the envoy. So why did the envoy come suddenly?"

Mu Xiaochuan was speechless.

"Also, if the envoy really knew nothing about the girl’s disappearance and suddenly learned about it, shouldn’t he immediately pursue all the clues? Why didn't he listen to what those girls said and just deny what they said? Unless, he doesn't need to listen to what those girls say"

"He knows the whereabouts of that girl! ? Mu Xiaochuan suddenly realized, but when he thought about it, he felt something was wrong,"Perhaps the manager doesn't know that the envoy has always been aware of their affairs?" After all, no matter what, he is still a master of his trade."

"If that's the case, why let the girl disappear? The sudden disappearance of a popular musician is a big or small matter. Even if he is a messenger, he may not be able to handle it. Normally, wouldn't he be like the manager, trying his best to find the person as soon as possible? And not only did he not want to look for it, he also wanted to see him off twice."

"Maybe he just wanted to cover up the scandal?"

At this time, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Zhong Wanling quickly stopped the conversation and removed the barrier.

The waiter put the drinks and dishes on the table with a smile on his face. The sound of guzheng and pipa was heard from downstairs, and two female voices sang together on the piano. Her voice turned into a song. Zhong Wanling looked like a dandy and glanced downstairs. Sure enough, he saw that the girl playing the pipa was the girl behind the high wall who had tipped them off.

"Do you still have people singing here? The singing is pretty good."Zhong Wanling poured a glass of wine for himself, took a sip angrily, but looked straight downstairs.

The waiter smiled flatteringly:"Yes, the young master is really discerning. Our girl is from a government household, isn't it? Generally comparable to those in the building."

Zhong Wanling chuckled noncommittally and put down a piece of broken silver on the table."Go and ask the pipa player to come up and have a drink with the young masters."

The waiter had a troubled look on his face, and he despised it in his heart: He is really a debauched playboy. He is so promiscuous in this day and night. I don't know where he came from. He thinks that having a few filthy rich people is a big deal. These girls downstairs are so slutty. He was from the Jiaofang Division, and he couldn't invite him with this little silver.

Zhong Wanling seemed to be unable to see what the waiter was thinking. While sipping the wine in his hand, he said lightly:"If you can invite me, this is Your reward."

The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this."This, is this for me?

Zhong Wanling rolled her eyes at him and said,"Don't you think I know what I'm doing?" How could such a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty be worth such a price? I tell you, if you want to go, go as soon as possible. If you don’t want to go, don’t go. Don’t be an eyesore in front of me."As he said that, he was about to take back the broken silver on the table.

The waiter snatched the broken silver and said with a flattering smile:"There is no reason why you can't make money. I'll go right now, and I will definitely invite the girl to come up and serve the young master well."

Zhong Wanling waved her hand and told the waiter to talk nonsense.

Seeing the waiter running downstairs, Zhong Wanling said softly:"A unknown singer is like this, let alone a popular musician. This kind of thing cannot be suppressed."

Mu Xiaochuan nodded in approval.

After a moment, the waiter hurriedly led the girl holding the pipa upstairs. The girl bowed. Zhong Wanling lazily leaned against the window, patted the chair next to him and looked towards the waiter. Er winked. The waiter wisely exited the room, closed the door, and hurried downstairs.

Zhong Wanling formed another barrier, then resumed his sitting position, and said to the girl gently:"Girl, you can speak now."

After hearing this, the girl put the pipa aside gently, knelt down, and kowtowed to Zhong Wanling and Mu Xiaochuan. Zhong Wanling and Mu Xiaochuan quickly stood up, and one of them wanted to help them up, but the girl shook her head. He said sadly:"The little girl's name is Ren Xiangyun, and she is a sister of the same clan as Minjun. Two immortal masters, please help Sister Minjun. Mu

Xiaochuan and Zhong Wanling looked at each other and advised:"Miss Ren, get up first. We are here to decide to continue to investigate this matter.""

Ren Xiangyun kowtowed twice more, then looked up again. His handsome little face was already full of tears. Mu Xiaochuan picked up Ren Xiangyun and asked her to sit down on a chair. Zhong Wanling took out the brocade handkerchief and held it for her. Gently wiped away the tears that kept falling. Ren Xiangyun bit his lower lip and sobbed for a while before regaining his breath.

Zhong Wanling turned over a teacup from the table, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Ren Xiangyun, and said softly:"No hurry , drink some water before talking."

Ren Xiangyun wiped away the tears on his face, tried to calm down, nodded, and took a sip of tea. Thinking of what she was going to say later, he wanted to kneel down again, but was held down by Mu Xiaochuan and Zhong Wanling."Sit down. explain."

Ren Xiangyun held back the tears in his eyes, took out a small bag wrapped in a silk scarf from his arms, and spread it out on the table. There were some broken silver, a few silver notes, and some gold, silver, and jade jewelry."Two Immortal Masters , my sisters and I know that we are just untouchables, and we are insignificant. This is what my aunts and sisters and I have saved over the years. Please help us find Sister Minjun. I know that this money is nothing compared to what grandma and the envoy gave me, but……"This is already the most valuable thing we can take out.

Mu Xiaochuan covered the package and pushed it back into Ren Xiangyun's arms."We don't need this gold and silver. Girl, please take it back. You need these more. We have already rejected Lefang's commission."

Ren Xiangyun was so flustered that he wanted to kneel down and plead, but anxiously touched the sleeve on the other side.."Why? Is it because there is not enough money? I……"

Zhong Wanling held her shoulders and said warmly:"We will help you, but not for gold and silver, but for morality."

Ren Xiangyun's tears fell again and he wiped his face hastily.

Mu Xiaochuan asked:"Miss Ren, do you want us to find the missing Miss Minjun?"

Ren Xiangyun paused in wiping his face and shook his head repeatedly."No...no, we...I don't know……"She glanced at the pipa in her hand, with some hesitation in her eyes,"We just want to know where Sister Minjun is now and whether she is okay."……"Ren Xiangyun took out another smaller package from his arms,"If she really ran away as grandma said, please ask two immortal masters to deliver this package to her. These are the items she has saved over the years. Let her take the hard-earned money and run further...she must live well." As she spoke, Ren Xiangyun's tears fell again.

Mu Xiaochuan took the package from Ren Xiangyun, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Ren Xiangyun recalled the past, and Lihua said with rain:"Sister Minjun is a woman who values ​​love and justice. Over the years...she has endured and done enough. She is so smart and beautiful, but in fact she She could have left this purgatory a long time ago. Someone has wanted to redeem her life. If it weren't for us... we were the ones who dragged my sister down.……"

Mu Xiaochuan had mixed feelings. He felt that the package in his hand was light yet heavy.

Zhong Wanling thought for a while and interrupted:"Miss Ren suspects that Miss Minjun is no longer alive?"
