Dali Temple Small Dining Room 2

Chapter 218 Preserved Egg Lean Meat Congee ([-])
Seeing Xunzhou who was thinking about going to court before doing anything, the guard fell silent, and said after a long while: "Let's do something first!"

Mr. Xun, who had been saying that his sister Mingtang came to see him, just dropped by for a meal, after eating the meal, it seemed that his sister Mingtang had become a drop-in.

……

……

Of course, no matter what, after a bowl of porridge, it's time to work!

After the Double Ninth Festival, it became colder and colder.

The East Market is still bustling, with pedestrians and vendors coming and going in an endless stream, and the sound of hawking can be heard endlessly.The guard in cloth robes and micro-clothes mingling in the crowd quickly caught a man passing by quickly, and just before the man opened his mouth to shout, he skillfully reached out from his sleeve pockets and took out four or five pieces of different materials and colors. Same purse.

Facing the man's sudden change of expression, the guard didn't talk nonsense, picked out his own one, grinned at him, and said, "What's the matter? You started earning money early in the morning to prepare for the New Year?"

The man who was caught upright had an embarrassing expression on his face, but he did not forget to beg for mercy: "Next time... next time, I won't dare again!"

Of course the guards would not believe such words: this thief is so agile, he must be a ghost if he is not a habitual thief!

The Weifu guard on the other side touched his nose, and said: "I think he is not the only one, there must be quite a few people stealing money bags among the crowd, look for it later!"

The voices of the few people were not loud, and they were not eye-catching in the noisy crowd.But if someone has been paying attention to these few people since they entered the East City, they will listen to the words they said without falling into their ears.

Not far away, there was a pile of porcelain bowls on the corner of the street, and the vendor who was selling them lowered his voice to his partner who was collecting money: "Those guys are here to catch thieves, so don't pay too much attention!"

The partner beside him nodded, and turned his gaze to a group of people who were setting up stalls not far away at the corner of the street. This row of square-sized stalls was not only small, but also somewhat shabby.

Looking from a distance, on the banners set up on the small stalls, there are not all kinds of fortune-telling "high-level people", or poor scholars who hang a few calligraphy and paintings and sell them.

The vendors didn't look at the Taoist priests who were waiting for fortune-telling, but instead set their eyes on the scholars who peddled calligraphy and paintings.Although he was wearing a patched robe, among the deceptively deceptive Taoist priests, he was actually somewhat refined.

The handsome scholar in the corner is even more eye-catching.

"That's a good student!" The partner saw the scholar at a glance and nodded, but even though he was nodding, he looked at the scholar with some indescribable scrutiny in his eyes, "Look at the new face, new here? "

The vendor selling porcelain bowls at the side nodded, while being wary of the people around him, he whispered: "New here! I just went to inquire about it, and I heard that something happened at home, and he went to Beijing to join his relatives. You I also know how many relatives in this world are willing to be good people? Naturally, they ignored him and kicked him out! He couldn't help it, so he took the little money left and set up a booth here to sell calligraphy and paintings !"

Upon hearing this, the vendor nodded and said, "That's not bad! Let's see it again!"

Although he didn't say what he was looking for, the porcelain bowl vendor obviously understood the meaning of his words, and immediately said: "Don't worry, I'll save it!"

His partner let out a "hmm", and his eyes moved away from the scholar, and then fell on the guard in micro-clothes who was catching thieves in the crowd. After watching for a while, he suddenly laughed: "I heard that the government is still there these days. Looking for the villain who captured the little lady!"

"Isn't it?" The merchant who sold porcelain bowls answered, his tone was a little more mocking and disdainful, "I heard that the families of those little ladies have gone to the government to make trouble several times!"

"What a bunch of idiots!" The peddler sneered, and his eyes fell on the scholar not far away, as if he was looking at some fat sheep, "just as the government's eyes fall on this, let's find some more bait! "

Probably aware of this gaze, the scholar was startled, instinctively raised his head and looked over here, glanced here blankly, and the scholar, who could not notice anything, lowered his head again and continued to draw.

The eyes of the two traders turned elsewhere.

Naturally, the more bait the better!
On the third-floor teahouse not far away, Lin Fei, who was looking over here with clairvoyance, said, "The two vendors selling porcelain bowls on the street corner also looked at our bait."

Wei Fu, who was holding a pen by the table behind him, immediately wrote it down on the paper.

Xun Zhou, who was drawing with a brush, sneezed and rubbed his nose: It's really flattering to be missed by so many people!

……

……

The bell of Sishi rang, and the time for the eclipse was over.

After handing over the chores of cleaning the countertops to the handyman, Wen Mingtang and the others went to the corridor in the courtyard and sat down to rest.

"I don't know how long it will take to catch those gangsters with Mr. Xun's help!" As soon as she sat down, Tangyuan couldn't help feeling emotional, "Now I have to go out every morning and go back every night with Dad, Dad I also said that if I enter Dali Temple during the day, I will not be allowed to go out!"

This is the case for everyone in the city who has a young lady at home. Climbing to the heights in Chongyang yesterday should have been a good day for the whole family to go out and play, but because of these things, many young ladies were left at home by their families. Those who travel are also closely watched by the people around them. The feeling of being shackled is not uncomfortably uncomfortable.

The prosperous capital at the foot of the emperor should not be like this.

Wen Mingtang focused his eyes, sighed, and said, "Those villains should have been caught earlier!"

The little ladies who have not been caught are still so frightened and worried, how frightened are the little girls who have been caught?
……

……

in the dark room.

Several little ladies with their hands and feet tied up huddled together in panic.

One of them was sisters, and they leaned closer to each other, as if relying on each other, feeling the warmth from each other's body, could dispel the panic in their hearts.

"A... sister," the little lady in the pink skirt combed her bun, but she was caught by the age of cardamom. She was two years older than herself, and she was already an adult, and she was an adult in her heart. Elder Sister asked, "What are they trying to do by taking us here?"

Before being caught, the most frightening thing for a girl in Cardamom Nianhua was to sneak out to play and be reprimanded by her parents. When did she encounter such a thing?

She didn't know why she happily came out to watch the lanterns with her family, but she was brought here in a daze.

The elder sister who just got up and wore a green skirt is only two years older than her own sister. Although she claims to be a mature adult, she is only 15 years old, and she is still half ignorant. She just shook her head in panic, and looked around at the little ladies who were also taken captive by the faint light of the candlestick on the wall, and murmured: "I... I don't know either!"
