The most ferocious sword of the Imperial City Division

Chapter 18 Takeaway Idle Man
Gu Shiwei gave Han Shiyan an appreciative look.

It takes no effort to talk to smart people.

At this moment, Bianjing City has just woken up. Although the sun is out, the road is still slightly wet. Horse hooves hit the bluestone road, occasionally splashing water.

All the way there, the aroma is fragrant.The doors of all kinds of food shops were open, white steam was rising, and the shouts of the boys who welcomed the guests could be heard from a distance, "One bowl of mutton soup, three pancakes..."

The news that Guan Yushi was murdered in Luyi Tower last night has obviously spread, and there are murmurs of discussion in the streets and alleys.

Seeing the two of them riding towards Furong Tower, they both looked at them curiously.

Furong Tower was quite quiet in the early morning, and the Twelve Oiran Lady Tower was still asleep at the moment.

Occasionally, the well-dressed little maid yawned and headed towards the market, presumably to try the fresh food sent by fellow villagers in the suburbs.

Gu Shinwei remembered that her family of three had been there before. She was riding on her father's shoulders and saw fresh lotus root strips and water chestnut rice that had just come out of the water.

It was a summer morning, and Aniang put a lotus leaf on her head as a hat, while she held a few pink and purple lotus flowers with dewdrops on them.

"You must have used the morning meal, right? I saw smoke coming from your chimney."

The two of them got off their horses in front of the Luyi Building. Han Shiyan thought about Gu Shiwei's affectionate eyes when he looked at the mutton soup shop before, and couldn't help but ask.

Without waiting for Gu Shiwei's reply, he added, "The mutton soup in that store is not delicious. I know a mutton soup shop called Congqing. The mutton is not muttony at all, and the haggis is also delicious. It's cold." Sometimes, there will also be a mutton pot, and the marinade is very fragrant.”

Gu Shiwei listened and moved his index finger, feeling that the sun was not very proud today.

On such a beautiful day, it should snow!

Wouldn't it be nice to sit by the window and watch the snow while eating meat and warming a pot of wine?
She thought and shook her head, "We are investigating the case, let's talk about this."

Han Shiyan was speechless in his heart. Gu Shiwei didn't say anything, but her eyes were already chattering all the way.

Neither of them spoke anymore. Gu Shiwei stepped forward first, calmed down and led Han Shiyan towards the side where she had arranged for Zhang Yan, Ding Yang and Tang Shan to be guarded yesterday.

"Among the three, Ding Yang is on the right, Zhang Yan is in the middle, and Tangshan is on the left."

As she spoke, she took out a few pennies from her pocket, picked three idle men on the roadside, estimated their heights, and asked them to stand where Ding Yang, Zhang Yan, and Tang Shan were respectively.

Han Shiyan watched quietly and walked straight towards the bronze mirror in Mingjing Lane.

He walked back and forth around the bronze mirror, then came back and nodded to Gu Shiwei, "It's possible."

Although the kung fu of the eight members of the Imperial City Division was not as good as that of Gu Shiwei and Wei Changsheng, it was not difficult to hide their appearance in the dark in front of an ordinary person.What's more, they may not be so lucky to find the person they happen to see.

He thought and waved to the three idle men. The three of them were frightened and ran over.

One of the short idle men couldn't help but show a flattering smile. He held the two big coins in his hands and handed them to Gu Shiwei. Sir, if you have anything to do with your money, just ask me."

He said, feeling more and more terrified.

He never thought that the Imperial City Secretary would give him money, let alone that she would only give two cents. He had not reacted for a while before, and accepted it with his mind buzzing. Now he just wanted to give himself a slap in the face.

This was the money of the Imperial City Division, and he was afraid that he would lose his life to spend it.

Han Shiyan shook his head and said, "Just take it. Bronze mirrors are valuable. Can someone be guarded in Mingjing Lane? What time will the watchman pass by here at night? At around three quarters of the hour, there are some of you wandering around here." Or can we find the person who was here after midnight last night?"

The idle man was stunned. He turned his head and looked at the two people. When he saw the two men lowering their heads and pretending to be quails, his teeth itched with hatred.

He really wants to raise his hand and give himself a second slap in the face, telling you to be smart and stand out!

The thin idle man thought, lowered his voice and said, "You want to find people who come to look in the mirror and see what you are like? If it is the third quarter of the twelfth hour, there shouldn't be any. The watchman will be here at that time. I don’t walk in Mingjing Lane either.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Shiwei's red official uniform, and then at Han Shiyan's brocade clothes, thinking that these two noble men might not understand why.

He also explained, "What the adults don't know is that those who come to look in the mirror are usually pretty young ladies from poor families. Three quarters of the year is still early for Huajieliuxiang, and there will be those who are greedy for flowers at any time. Here come the lecherous ones.”

"Those people are either rich or powerful. Ugly girls don't want to look in the mirror. Most of the people who look in the mirror are not ugly. If they are caught by a lecher, they will get into trouble."

"It's not easy for them to come to the capital. They don't come here specifically to look in the mirror. I'm afraid they weren't selling things in the night market for money. They wait until it's late at night and there's no one around, and then they come here after closing their stalls. .”

At this moment, a fat young man next to him, who had his head lowered, couldn't help but raise his head.

He glanced at Gu Shinwei and quickly lowered his head.

"That...that...that, sir, I know someone who might know..."

Seeing that Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan were looking at him, he couldn't help but move and walked to Han Shiyan's side.

The Imperial City Secretary is ruthless and ruthless, and the one at Yushitai looks stupid and has a lot of money.

"tell me the story."

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no anger in Gu Shinwei's tone.

"The wines, dishes and snacks in Furong House are very good. Those dignitaries often ask for them after chatting in the middle of the night."

"If Dr. Jiu is available, he will pack himself in a food box and deliver it to his door; if he is not available, or the owner of the request does not like rewards, they will call for idlers to deliver it. I helped deliver it last night Twice.”

"At three quarters of the hour, I had just left. When I left, there was still a request that had not yet been delivered. However, if you want to know who specifically sent it, you have to ask the treasurer of Furong Tower."

Gu Shiwei and Han Shiyan looked at each other and nodded to the three people, "If you remember anything, let me know in time."

The two of them said that and walked towards Furong Tower.

Furong Building does not sell breakfast food and is closed at this time. Shopkeeper Qian stood in front of the door, instructing the wine doctors to move the wine jars inside.

After listening to Gu Shiwei's question, he hurriedly waved to one of the boys with oily hair and noodles, "Lu San, come here. If I remember correctly, at Haishi last night, you sent a food box to Guozixue. Is it right?"

"I remember I told you to go to the other end of Mingjing Alley. There is soup in the food box. Don't go through Furong Alley, as you may bump into the nobles."

The boy named Lu San bowed respectfully and said, "Shopkeeper, I did go to Mingjing Alley. There is not only soup, but also wine. Not far after I walked out, I spilled some. I even ran back to change it, but the shopkeeper You cursed a lot..."

Shopkeeper Qian was stunned for a moment. After Lu San reminded him, he obviously remembered, "Ah! I remembered it. You said that a date stone fell on your head. You were shocked and said that there was a ghost in the tree! "
