bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 36 Bones, Dangerous!

It's night, Yanqing Building.

Yanqing Building is located in the west of Siyang City, which is considered one of the most prosperous areas.

There are no high-rise buildings within ten miles around the Seventh Palace of the Son of Heaven, and no noisy business. Although it is solemn and solemn, it still lacks some lively atmosphere.

Yanqing Building is surrounded by avenues that extend in all directions, and there are many shops such as jewelry tailors and pharmacies. People are bustling with people coming and going. Among the bustling new and old buildings, the brightly lit Yanqing Building stands in the center of it, overlooking the surrounding people. All residential buildings.

If you stand on the Yanqing Tower, you will feel the vertigo of overlooking all living beings.

The building is quiet, only the silk and bamboo music and the beautiful voice of actresses, not as noisy and bustling as ordinary restaurants.

On the top floor, there is only one wing room, which only entertains one table of guests per night.

On the pavilion in the center of the building, a group of actors were wearing costumes, and in the middle of it was a beautiful girl holding a sleeve, and was babbling and singing:

"The wind and rain outside the Spring and Autumn Pavilion,

Where does the sound of grief break the loneliness.

There is only a sedan chair across the curtain,

It must be the newlyweds crossing the magpie bridge.

Laugh on auspicious days,
Why do shark pearls turn into tears and throw——? "(1)
Under the pavilion stood a small table, a young man was sitting behind the table, his eyes were closed and he was shaking his head while listening.

In front of him is a jade bottle filled with crystal clear wine.

There is a pair of jade-carved bowls and chopsticks beside the jade bottle, but there is no food in front of it.

It was Tantaifu's son, Tantaiming.

"My lord, please use tea cake."

A servant placed a small plate on a tray inlaid with gold on a silver bottom, inside which lay four small and transparent pastries, the pastries were white with emerald green, extremely elastic and light.

The inside is wrapped with good bean paste filling, and the skin is even more fragrant with tea.

Half of the snacks served with wine should be spicy, and if you eat spicy ones, you should use sweet ones to make up for it.

The tea cakes in Yanqing Tower can be said to be the best in Siyang. I heard that the imperial dining room does not know how to make them. If the emperor wants to eat them, he can only send someone to buy them in the palace from Yanqing Tower.

The tea cake was brought in front of Tantai Ming, he slightly opened his eyes, but he didn't move his chopsticks, he just leaned slightly to smell it.

Then he sighed and shook his head.

So, the servant didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly removed the small plate, and then put it directly into the table drawer—that is, the leftover basket.

"Where is the adult dissatisfied?"

A middle-aged man walked up the steps behind Tantai Ming with a smile, and happened to see this scene.

This is the boss of Yanqing Building.

Tan Taiming did not turn around, on the contrary, he remained motionless, still listening to the play with his eyes closed.

When the middle-aged man came to his side, Tan Taiming opened his eyes and showed a smile: "Boss Gong, business is booming."

Boss Gong waved his hand and bowed slightly: "It's always been an honor for Mr. Tantai to come to Yanqing Tower. If this tea cake doesn't suit your taste, I'll ask someone to bring you some other snacks..."

"No need."

Tan Taiming shook his head, still looking at the female actress on the stage: "I just want to eat tea cake today."

Hearing what he said, Boss Gong was stunned: "That's just..."

"Ugh."

Before he finished speaking, Tan Taiming sighed: "Tea cake, tea cake, doesn't it mean that tea must be used well?"

Boss Gong was silent, and it took a while before he said in a good voice: "What kind of tea do Mr. Tantai think we should use?"

Tan Taiming smiled, and finally turned his gaze away from the lift, looking into Boss Gong's eyes.

"I don't know, I just thought I came to eat tea cakes, but I didn't expect to teach you how to make tea cakes."

The air seemed to cool down all of a sudden, Boss Gong bit his lower lip, but didn't make a sound.

Only the one who lifted the string was still babbling and making noise.

Tan Taiming gently raised his hand.

So the sound of strings and singing stopped immediately.

Dead silence.

silence.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Tan Taiming suddenly laughed out loud, as if he heard a very funny joke, he laughed so hard.

"Uh, uh hehehaha, haha."

Boss Gong laughed along, a little stiffly.

"Okay, Boss Gong, don't panic."

Tan Taiming swept his fingers towards the stage, the troupe immediately stood up quietly, packed up the things on the stage quietly, and left the pavilion one by one.

The few lights that were lit were also extinguished, and on the top floor of Yanqing Building, there was only the light from downstairs and the starry sky outside the window.

"I called you here because I know you really want to inquire about the major events of these two days."

He picked up the wine glass and looked at the liquid in the glass.

"You are worried that His Highness's assassination was done by the National Judicial Department, and they dare to do so because they already have confidence in their hands."

"No, no, just curious, curious..."

Boss Gong wiped his sweat.

Tan Taiming smiled disapprovingly: "You don't have to hide it, I'm not my father, if you don't care about this level, you can't afford to open this Yanqing Tower."

He raised his head and poured the wine in the glass into his throat in one gulp, letting out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Currently, it is difficult for the Department of State Law to do this matter."

After Boss Gong heard this, he said anxiously: "Then, who else would dare to assassinate His Majesty, could it be the country..."

"Snapped!"

Tan Taiming slightly knocked the wine glass on the table, interrupting Boss Gong's words.

"Be cautious in your words and deeds. IFC has nothing to do with this matter."

He said it word for word.

Boss Gong nodded quickly.

"Besides, according to the feedback from my subordinates, I'm afraid that the murderer's goal is not the emperor, but he slaughtered all the teahouses. I'm afraid that the National Justice Department wants to catch this person more than we do."

Tantai Ming smacked his lips.

The Xinran Tea House is affiliated with the National Law Department, and they all know it well.

Tan Taiming poured himself another glass, stood up holding the wine glass, turned his back to Boss Gong and said:

"The matter of An Haijin has already cost them a knife, and the matter in Haizhou will only be easier after that. You can continue to operate as usual, don't worry."

"If, it's very good, then I won't bother Mr. Tantai, what else do you need for food and drink? I'll just..."

Tan Taiming only raised his hand, and gently swept it with the same gesture as he sent the troupe away.

So Boss Gong also waited for others to retreat, and he was the only one left on the top floor.

"Han Dongwen..."

He muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Your fate is so great, it can be regarded as God bless my Tantai family."

Tan Taiming raised his head again, drank another glass of wine, walked to the window, and hummed softly:

"There are so many rich people in the world.

There are also hunger, cold, and sorrowful embraces,
There are also frustrated and bitter crying.

The people in the sedan chair play different tunes,

There must be something hidden in my heart

……

in the bedroom.

Han Dongwen had already walked around the room.

"Ten, seven, fifty!"

He felt his teeth itch.

67 gold dollars, how does he change them?
10 minutes ago, he slapped his thigh.

"I'll take something and let Xiao Hongdou go out of the palace and sell it to a pawn shop!"

But now, he has gone eighth lap.

There are a lot of things, the enamel mirror inlaid with gold, and the pen rest polished by pearls, all of which seem to be in excellent condition.

However, under the pen rest and on the back of the enamel mirror, there are all engraved dragons, chapters and phoenixes, so you can tell at a glance that they are things from the palace.

Let a court lady go out with the things in the palace?

That's going to kill you!

But anyone who is not a fool knows that this court lady should be turned away and sent to the official.

"Can not be done……"

Han Dongwen sat back on the bed and pulled his hair.

Not to mention that he has, the biggest one in his hand is Li Zai's twenty gold dollars.

I have already rewarded Xiaohongdou, how dare I come back!

And even if he were to come back, after deducting the five gold dollars reimbursed to Xiao Hongdou, there would be only fifteen dollars left.

"fifteen……"

It's pretty close to Seventeen.

Han Dongwen gritted his back molars in annoyance, and looked helplessly at himself in the enamel mirror.

"Could it be that I'm really going to lose my bones?"
