I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 429: A girl from the flower street can also marry into a good family

Forsythia looked at her master like this and was confused for a moment, then she couldn't help but said: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Di Hui shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Forsythia said 'hmm', and then planned to continue the topic.

But when he opened his mouth, Di Hui stopped him.

Mainly because of these things, Di Hui felt that the more he knew, the worse it would be. After all, these were all Li Jiulang and Prime Minister Li's private affairs.

And it's all private.

but.

Di Hui looked at Forsythia and was very surprised, because he knew that his apprentice had a great background.

But he actually knew all these things, so he couldn't help but look at his apprentice, wondering if this brat had too many connections.

Forsythia didn't understand what her master was thinking.

But the two finally went to Baofengzhai to buy snacks.

"It's impossible." Forsythia looked at her master.

Find someone!

This is true, but it is very quackish and very dark.

Di Hui continued: "Although these things are not written in the case file, if I am not wrong, Uncle Qianwang should have done them all. You can ask later. If he has done it, then we don't need to do it again." , to do things he has never done or failed to do.”

This made Forsythia give a thumbs up to her master, and even praised her master for his popularity and wide network.

Forsythia thought for a moment: "Although the Flower Street is very lively at the second watch, many of the vendors setting up stalls near the Flower Street will not go back until the third watch. You can ask them, maybe you can gain something."

While sitting on the trolley, Di Hui also started chatting seriously about this matter.

But Uncle Qianwang's people searched for him for a long time, but had no clue at all. For three days in a row, the old man was an only son. He was also very anxious. In the end, he had no choice but to report to the official.

Then Liu Baishi took a deep breath, grabbed his collar and said, "Don't let me clean up on the happiest day."

It's clearly written on the case file.

Forsythia blinked, with a look of disbelief on her face, Miss Liu was so powerful! ?

Thinking of this, Forsythia remembered that during the Lantern Festival, Liu Baishi ran to where he lived to find him and said he wanted to watch the fireworks and iron flowers.

"It's just like this. Uncle Qianwang didn't report to the official until the third day. What did he do in the past three days? Or, to put it another way, he didn't do it, so he had to report to the official for help."

Forsythia blinked and looked at Di Hui.

"Look at a person's words and deeds. Don't look at what he did, but look at what he didn't say or do. He didn't write any of this in the case file, so there is only one possibility, which is unspeakable. This Uncle Qianwang is such a son, The family cherishes it very much, and as far as I know, Tao Zhuan is not a dandy, he is still a scholar. Although he did not pass the Jinshi examination last year, he has the reputation of being a scholar, and his father Qian Wangbo wants to be an official. There's no problem. Compared with those dandies who often go to brothels and flower streets, he can be considered a talent."

Di Hui didn't say anything, just looked at Forsythia.

In desperation, Forsythia agreed.

Another time, Liu Baishi chatted with him and talked about some sects in the world.

Di Hui smiled and said: "Not many people know about it. I only found out about this when I worked on cases with Mr. Shaoqing before. Just don't spread it to the outside world. And it's not just this flower street, there are four flower streets in the capital. Now it’s all this person’s. Otherwise, why would you think there’s nothing going on in Flower Street? Even if someone makes trouble, it’s quickly resolved, and all the girls are safe and sound.”

What surprised him was that Liu Baishi said, "If you want me to go out and work in the world, I will be sophisticated and cultivate my power. Although I am happy and carefree, I can't do it alone." '

Uncle Qianwang also sent people to Tao Zuo's favorite place, [Colorful Hall], to check, but the people there said that Mr. Tao Zuo left before the second watch three days ago and never appeared again.

He was shy and casually said he wanted to have hot pot at home.

Dali Temple is only two cities away from Baofengzhai, but in Di Hui's opinion, if you want to go to Mr. Li's mansion, you have to go through more than ten cities, which is quite a distance.

It is said that three days ago, Tao Zui, the son of Uncle Qianwang's family, went to Huajie and never came back.

If it were before, Young Master Di Hui would have no choice but to talk about it.

Still relying on Di Hui's connections, I bought some very good dim sum at the cheapest price.

But the capital is like a sea, with millions of people here, and finding one person is like finding a needle in a haystack.

The case is that simple.

Di Hui smiled and said: "Forsythia, the idea of ​​​​finding someone and handling the case are different. Your idea is right, but you have never thought that Uncle Qianwang has done this? He is more anxious than us."

Di Hui looked at Forsythia: "Besides that."

And I saw many people leaving at that time.

Having said this, Di Hui took out mint leaves from his small bag, chewed them in his mouth, and looked at the people on both sides: "The gangs that exist in our capital now all have some background, and they never do evil. Gangs, Master Yang has been able to carry out her mission of 'cleaning up gangs and eradicating evil' to the end. And behind the gang forces on Huajie Street is the person we are looking for on this trip."

Dali Temple is six or seven towns away from Flower Street, so Forsythia did not refuse.

Forsythia immediately said: "Start from the Colorful Pavilion."

Forsythia looked at her master, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I also plan to find those sisters, not only from the Binfen Pavilion, but also from other pavilions, and ask them if they know if Tao Zui has offended anyone. , or what happened with someone before disappearing."

So the two of them stopped a truck.

Even Mr. Li knows his private affairs. If you can't do it, no one in the world can do it!

But now, he shook his head, patted Forsythia on the shoulder and said, "You're still the kid."

To put it bluntly, it’s just two words.

Miss Liu has a gang under her control! ?

So after hearing this, Forsythia blinked.

Di Hui did not express his thoughts, but looked at Forsythia: "What do you think?"

It turns out that Miss Liu has already been involved in the underworld.

Forsythia suddenly understood, but she also frowned and was worried: "What if I get caught?"

Di Hui looked at Forsythia and smiled, and asked his disciple this stupid question: "Who dares to arrest and hasn't been arrested yet, that means nothing is wrong, and those behind Huajie are not considered evil. Most of them are veterans who have retired. They have nowhere to go, so it is a good place to stay. After all, they have no worries about food and clothing, and can also marry a wife. And with them here, Flower Street is so stable, and the girls here He will not be embarrassed, except for some people who act like monsters. As long as he keeps to himself, even if he wants to redeem himself and leave, he will not be embarrassed. He will even give a sum of money. Even if he wants to find someone to marry, that person will not be embarrassed. They will all be tested together. Therefore, it can be regarded as a narrow sect in the world. I think the empress also knows this, so Master Yang has never touched Huajie."

After hearing this, Forsythia breathed a sigh of relief, but she was also secretly happy, thinking that Miss Liu was indeed a very good person.

Di turned around and leaned back, looked at Forsythia and asked, "Knowing this, what did you think of?"

Hearing this, Forsythia thought for a moment and then immediately said: "It is indeed right to look for her, and she rarely meets people, even high-ranking officials in the court, so it is very possible that Uncle Qianwang is gone."

At this point, Forsythia's expression was startled, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Master, did Tao Zui do something and was caught? And Uncle Qianwang knew something, but couldn't save him, so he came to us. .”

But at this point, Forsythia frowned: "But is it possible? That is Uncle Qianwang. Although he does not have any official position in the court and only has a sinecure, his prestige is still there."

Although Forsythia is silly, she still understands and understands some things in the officialdom.

After all, Forsythia is not really a fool, but Forsythia occasionally looks at things from a different perspective than ordinary people, so she is considered a fool.

When Di Hui heard this, he smiled: "It's not impossible, but if it's true that Uncle Qianwang can't be saved and can be caught, it means that his son has encountered a taboo, not to mention, the person he is facing , but Xiang Hua?"

When he said this, Di Hui's expression was startled, and he looked at the two men who were stopping at the cloth tiger stall, and the two men were also looking at them.

After seeing it clearly, Di Hui immediately signaled the coachman to stop, then pulled Forsythia and said, "Go, go over and salute."

Forsythia nodded.

Although Forsythia didn't know what Mr. Li was doing here, as the Prime Minister, he still had to salute when meeting him.

Forsythia has also met Li Jiulang. After all, she has been in the capital for so long, so how could she not have seen him before?

"I have met the prime minister, Di Hui." Di Hui came to Li Jiulang and saluted with his fists raised.

Li Jiulang looked at Di Hui and returned the salute with a smile.

"Forsythia, the lower official, has met the Prime Minister." The same is true for Forsythia.

Seeing Forsythia, Li Jiulang looked it up and down and said with a smile: "In terms of appearance and temperament, it is worthy of a white lion."

When Forsythia heard this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Master Xiang is joking, Miss Liu and I still have nothing."

Li Jiulang smiled and said nothing more, but asked: "Did you receive an errand?"

Di Hui looked at Li Jiulang and Forsythia in confusion. It felt like it was the first time these two people met and talked. Aren't they very familiar? And didn’t this silly boy Forsythia offend the Prime Minister?

Or is it because it is on the street and the prime minister is concerned about face, so he does this deliberately?

After all, for people in the officialdom, this is a basic skill.

But thinking so, Di Hui immediately said respectfully: "The two of us are thinking of going to find you, Prime Minister, because the errand we received involves the Flower Street [Colorful Pavilion]."

Li Jiulang laughed when he heard this: "I'll give you the case of Uncle Qianwang's son so quickly."

Hearing this, Di Hui was stunned for a moment and looked up at Li Jiulang. He knew that the other party actually knew what he and Forsythia were going to do. After a moment of doubt, he took out the prepared gift. Since there was no need to explain anything, then Just get straight to the point: "The Prime Minister is very busy, and I and I are of low status and are not qualified to ask for help from the Prime Minister for this kind of matter, but we are really on an errand, so we ask the Prime Minister for help. Although this thing is not a precious toy, But I heard that Miss Xingyue likes it very much, so I specially took one from the Dali Temple Machinery Department. It is exquisitely made. I hope Miss Xingyue likes it. In addition, there are also these snacks and silk."

When he said this, Di Hui planned to send his and Forsythia's feelings to him. The things were not good, but...

To give it away or not to give it away are two different things.

just

Di Hui looked at Li Jiulang's expression, then looked at his apprentice's surprised expression, and suddenly realized something.

Especially looking at Forsythia's surprised and confused expression. This silly boy must not know Mr. Li.

No, wasn’t it along the way just now? Wait a minute, I’m not talking about the same person from the beginning!

This silly boy doesn't know anything about Mr. Li and Huajie.

Then the person who told me about it from the beginning must not be the same person!

I have been pecking at swallows all my life, and now I am being pecked by you?

Then I have been talking about Mr. Li from the beginning, who is he talking about.

Moreover, I just met Mr. Li, and he is also a stranger.

It suddenly dawned on Di Hui that he was sweating profusely, mainly because he had snacks and satin that he bought along the way.

I thought I bought it because the prime minister liked female celebrities before, but this...this...

Thinking this, Di Hui raised his eyes and looked at Li Jiulang, then at the silk and snacks in his hands.

This is my damn first time to give a gift to an official as big as the prime minister, but what I got was silk and snacks!

Especially this snack is the cake type that my daughter’s family likes.

Di Hui was so excited that he couldn't hold on to the silks and snacks he was holding as if they were burning hot coals!

Lian Qiao looked surprised as she watched her master take out the things he bought for Liu Baishi, and also wanted to give them to Mr. Li.

Just feel it.

Master is crazy!

Even if you give gifts to Mr. Li, you shouldn’t give these. What’s wrong?

Li Jiulang looked at Di Hui and then at Forsythia, and saw something fishy in it, but he didn't ask any more questions, but said with a smile: "Just take back the snacks and silk, but this Rubik's Cube is really good. , My little girl is obsessed with these recently, I can keep them here."

When Di Hui heard this, he knew that Li Jiulang was stepping down for him, and he immediately looked ashamed.

Li Jiulang handed the Rubik's Cube to Xu Zisheng beside him and said, "I went to Huajie to find Bai Shun. You should know him."

When Di Hui heard this, he immediately put away his things and clasped his fists: "Thank you so much, Mr. Xiang, for your help!"

With Li Jiulang's words, Di Hui knew that this matter would be much easier to handle.

And ever since Li Jiulang knew about this, Di Hui had already thought that maybe Li Jiulang had caught Na Tao Zuo.

Li Jiulang looked at Forsythia: "When will you take the white lion back to Tianzhi Pavilion to meet your parents?"

Forsythia was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the Prime Minister would ask her this question, so she lowered her head and said, "I"

Li Jiulang seemed not to expect Forsythia's answer, and just asked: "Because of her origin?"

Hearing this, Forsythia immediately clasped her fists: "Master Xiang, Miss Liu's background is not bad."

Li Jiulang said: "She was born in Huajie."

Forsythia immediately looked at Li Jiulang: "Flower Street is also a place to survive, there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Jiulang: "Many people in the world laugh at women who come from flower streets. Even courtesans will be laughed at."

Forsythia replied: "I don't know what Mr. Xiang thinks, but I don't think there's anything bad about Huajie. Maybe it's because I don't read enough and understand few truths, but I know that the sisters there are just trying to survive. . Moreover, who can decide one’s own origin? You can’t control yourself, and you can’t control yourself. The location of those who sneer may not necessarily be clean. "

Li Jiulang smiled and said: "The white lion has redeemed herself a long time ago, and she is free. So when will you take the white lion to see your parents?"

When Forsythia heard that, she suddenly returned to her previous question. She lost her arrogance and stuttered again.

When it comes to things involving Liu Baishi, Forsythia stutters easily and can't think clearly. Xia Yaomo always helps him think about it.

Li Jiulang laughed a few times: "Go ahead and go about your business."

After saying that, he bowed slightly towards Di Hui.

Di Hui quickly grabbed Forsythia and clasped his fists together in return.

It's just that Di Hui glanced at Li Jiulang, a little suspicious, because the question Li Jiulang just asked, and all of this, felt like it was all under Li Jiulang's control.

And watched the two people leave.

Xu Zisheng smiled and said, "The words are really beautiful."

Li Jiulang smiled: "There are some people in Flower Street who are not there just to survive, but because they like it. This silly boy still knows too little."

Xu Zisheng understood the meaning of Li Jiulang's words and smiled immediately, but watched the two people leave: "Look, it seems that they will choose to let those two people leave together."

Li Jiulang lowered his head and took the eight-sided Rubik's Cube from Xu Zisheng's hand: "After knowing that White Lion chose him, I asked Commander Yan about this child. Commander Yan said that the child's sword heart is as clear as glass, but But I don’t know how to deal with the world, especially love, which is the most unreasonable thing in the world. This child is even more ignorant. The reason is also because of the sword he has practiced. The commander-in-chief knows what I want to do and supports it very much. , saying that it would be helpful to the child in the future. When I mentioned Liu Baishi, he became confused, and I knew that Commander Yan was right."

Xu Zisheng said with a smile: "It has only been three days, and Uncle Qianwang couldn't sit still. This suddenly caused me to come out of Zhongshu Province to wait for Forsythia. But what you just said, I think that Di Guess what happened."

Li Jiulang fiddled with the Rubik's Cube in his hand: "I don't intend to hide it, and I won't tell it if I see it. After all, it is a test for Forsythia. Uncle Qianwang's son happened to meet him, and he just happened to take a look. . And I have watched that girl Bai Shi grow up, so I cannot give it to others casually, especially since Bai Shi comes from Flower Street. For the sake of the future, I have to look at it carefully, otherwise this Forsythia she just said is beautiful, but will How to do it, I haven’t seen yet. As for Uncle Qianwang”

Having said this, Li Jiulang's expression turned cold: "What a good son I taught!!"

But after saying that, Li Jiulang's expression immediately returned to normal: "But it's okay, let that girl Bin'er see clearly, and this matter will be over."

After saying this, Li Jiulang looked at the eight-sided Rubik's Cube in his hand: "Can this thing invented by the empress really be achieved?"

Xu Zisheng shook his head: "Anyway, I didn't get it, and as far as I know, no one in the capital is the same, not even Xun Kuang, but Xingyue is happy with it, has been working hard, and even made a bet with me Just a month will do.”

Li Jiulang smiled helplessly and put the Rubik's Cube in his sleeve, "Let's go back. We will know the outcome later."

Xu Zisheng smiled, and without saying anything, he followed behind, looking at the Prime Minister who was the Secretary of the Imperial Court and worked so hard for a few beautiful women.

Few people in the world know that behind the flower street in the capital is Li Jiulang, the secretary of the Zhongshu Province.

However, people of his generation or older all know that Li Jiulang, who was a high-spirited scholar in the past, married an oiran from his hometown.

And the reason why she became the person whom the women in Beijing's Flower Street relied on was because the late lady once said, "Women in Flower Street are often harmed by unfaithful people. I really hope that everyone will encounter someone like you." '

Li Jiulang didn't care if he could meet someone like him.

but.

But he can help and give those girls a good home.

Just because his deceased wife had an ideal, he didn't care about his status or how much effort he would put into doing these things.

Get on the boarding car heading to Flower Street.

Forsythia looked at her master and finally couldn't help it anymore: "Master, why do you want to give these things to Mr. Li?"

Di Hui was originally thinking whether all this might be a result of Mr. Li's scheme.

A game to test Forsythia.

But when he heard Forsythia's words, Di Hui looked at Forsythia: "What do you think?"

Forsythia's eyebrows were splayed: "How would I know, and these are the things I apologized to Miss Liu, don't you know?"

Di thought about cursing, but as he spoke, he shook his head, looked at Forsythia, and began to wonder if Liu Baishi was blind, why did he fall in love with himself, who is sometimes very smart, but sometimes so stupid that people have nothing to say. apprentice.

but.

Looking at Forsythia, Di Hui hesitated.

Li Jiulang knew about the tests he would put on those men who ransomed women from Huajie Street when he was handling cases with Mr. Shaoqing.

Not many people actually know about this.

However, if all this is really Mr. Li's plan, then everything makes sense.

Why didn't Uncle Qianwang ask Mr. Li for help?

And looking at it this way, it is clear that it was Tao Jie who did it.

but

Do you want to continue to be with this child?

Thinking of this, Di Hui looked at Forsythia and said, "Forsythia, I have something to tell you."

Immediately, Di Hui told Forsythia that Li Jiulang was the man behind Huajie.

After hearing this, Forsythia blinked and suddenly realized: "No wonder Master, you want to give the things I bought for Miss Liu to Mr. Li."

After finishing speaking, he added: "I said it so clearly, Master, why do you still think so."

"!"

When Di Hui heard this, he clenched his fist and hit Forsythia directly on the head.

A person who was not even at the fourth level beat a seventh-level swordsman. This happened to Forsythia.

"Get out of here!" Di Hui got off the cart and looked at Forsythia and cursed.

Forsythia watched Di Hui get out of the car and immediately asked, "Aren't we going together?"

Di Hui nodded: "The case is simple, just go and I won't need to follow you."

Forsythia hesitated to speak.

Di Hui said, "Just go and do what you need to do. I'll wait for you to finish the first case and treat me to a drink when you come back."

Forsythia grinned: "Okay!"

Di Hui smiled and waved his hand.

The cart keeps going.

Di Hui looked at Forsythia.

Although I don’t know what test the Prime Minister gave Forsythia, but it was obviously related to Liu Baishi, so it would be difficult for me to participate.

As for the deliberation, if Di Hui guessed correctly, it should be the test of Forsythia.

Thought of here

Di Hui stretched out his hand and scratched his head. What kind of test would he be given? The test of the courtesan lady. Can this silly boy pass it?

This apprentice is really worrying.
