delicious little cook

Chapter 742 Found it

After staring at the plain screen for more than ten breaths, Tong Mingli finally walked over, holding the screen frame with both hands and moving it out.

When she saw the wall behind the screen, Tong Mingli covered her mouth in surprise.

Next to the height and width of the screen, there is a curtained closet on the wall, which is tightly hidden behind the screen. No wonder no flaw has been found. Who would think of moving the screen standing against the wall.

Tong Mingli gently opened the curtain, and the closet on the third floor was full of various boxes. She opened a few at random, some contained bottles and cans, and some classified different documents and letters.

It seems that this closet is really a place for Lan Zhu to put important things, and it can really be hidden. She lives in this room alone, and if she has to do something, she just locks the door. No one knows what she is doing in the room.

Tong Mingli didn't dare to look through the documentary evidence. She kept Ning Peilan's reminder in mind and was careful not to mess up these things, but she wanted to read more, so she finally opened each box one by one.

Inadvertently, Tong Mingli opened a box full of flat wooden boxes. The wooden boxes were small, only half the size of a palm, but the labels on each wooden box had the same two words written on them.

Peacock.

With a bang, it was as if a thunder had exploded in Tong Mingli's mind.

Last year, Gu Yun was drugged into a hookah to hook him into an addiction. The drug used was peacock. Fortunately, Bai Kou rescued him in time. Big trouble drugs.

But it has been a long time since Liang Zhongshan still has so many? !
And looking at the appearance of the box and the small wooden box inside, they are all clean without any dust. Either Lanzhu likes to clean it and wipe it frequently, or it is often taken in and out to replenish new goods at any time.

If it was the latter, it would be even more frightening. The medicines ordered by the imperial court are still being circulated in the dark, and it is unknown how many people have fallen into the pain of drug addiction.

Tong Mingli became a little flustered, she felt that she had torn off another layer of Liang Zhongshan's mask, but she didn't know how many layers of masks he wore, and how long before he could see his true face.

After recovering the medicine box, Tong Mingli opened the rest of the boxes one by one. They were filled with letters and papers. There was no time for her to read them slowly. Tong Ming put the box back on, closed the curtain, and put the screen back in place. , carefully checked all the places I touched, and only opened the door to leave after confirming that there were no negligent omissions.

Although Tong Mingli spent too much time in Lanzhu's house, in fact, the whole lunch time was not over yet, the girls did not come back to take a nap, Tong Mingli walked all the way back to her main room, the food was still warm, and she swallowed some mess He was full, and distributed it to the two girls under his command to help eat, so that after the meal, the empty plates sent back to the kitchen would not be suspicious.

The two confidant girls didn't know what the lady was going to do when she sneaked into Lanzhu's room, but the lady didn't tell them and they didn't ask, anyway, they didn't know Lanzhu well.

After dinner, Tong Mingli, who was supposed to take a nap, didn't feel sleepy at all. She wrote to Ning Peilan, telling her what she saw in Lanzhu's room. She couldn't understand why Liang Zhongshan had so many peacocks in his hands. And what was in the tightly wrapped package that Lanzhu received.

The servant who delivered the letter quickly delivered the letter to Ning Peilan. When Ning Peilan saw the words about the peacock in the letter, she couldn't help but gasped, and immediately sent someone to forward the letter to Bai Kou .

Bai Kou didn't go out today. When she received the forwarded letter, she applauded Tong Mingli's fast action at first, but when she saw the peacock in the text, a sneer appeared on her face.

Last summer in Lanyuan Xiaomei Courtyard, after Qin Niang Ruoyu's new song appreciation meeting, a group of sons and daughters sat together to enjoy the big hookah after the banquet. Entering the circle of playing drugs, after this incident, Wangjiang Tower was set on fire, and the suspect died inexplicably.

After more and more investigations, they finally found out that Ruoyu had a connection with Liang Zhongshan, which indirectly confirmed that Liang Zhongshan was instigated behind the scenes to set fire to the Wangjiang Tower, but what he didn't expect was that he also had a peacock in his hand. There seems to be a lot of holdings, and it is enough to sell them.

However, even though it is now known that Liang Zhongshan has a peacock in his hands, whether the matter of drugging Gu Yun in the tobacco is related to Liang Zhongshan needs further investigation.

Bai Kou walked around the room holding the letter paper in one hand, and finally made a decision.

Let's kidnap Lanzhu to create the illusion of defecting from the master. Only Lanzhu knows what Liang Zhongshan has done. Instead of guessing here by himself, it is better to tie people up and ask for a confession.

But it's not easy to kidnap a person, especially the transfer of those things in her hands. The two things have to be done at the same time, but Tong Mingli can't always keep track of Lan Zhu's whereabouts. If she doesn't report the news in time, it will cause delays .

It seems that some planning has to be done, setting up an irresistible bait to lure Lan Zhu out.

When Gu Yun arrived home, he heard from the girls that Princess Cheng had sent a note, so he directly called Bai Kou to the bedroom to help him wash his hands and change his clothes.

The other girls left the room after preparing hot water, and stood on the porch waiting for the call.

Bai Kou brought the letter into the room to serve, but Gu Yun didn't even read it. He just asked Bai Kou to help him take off his coat while repeating it to him. finished face.

"Liang Zhongshan has a box of peacocks in his hand? But he is not addicted to drugs, is that for others?"

"He may be a medicine head." Bai Kou took the outer clothes that he usually wears and helped Gu Yun put them on, and then snarled at the letter paper on the table, "Look at the description in our cousin's letter, the packing of the package that Lan Zhu received. The way, doesn't it look familiar?"

"A package transferred by a big car dealership?!" Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, "Aha, it turns out that Liang Zhongshan is on top of Shi Tianmin!"

"That created a contradiction."

"Yes, Shi Tianmin gave me benefits, Liang Zhongshan held me back, are they sick?"

"What should we do now?"

"What do you want?"

"You are the master, of course I listen to you."

"Then I said my opinion is to listen to yours first." Gu Yun raised Bai Kou's chin with a smile, and slowly lowered his head.

Bai Kou pushed his face away resolutely, stepped aside, and threw the belt to him, letting him fasten his clothes by himself.

Gu Yun fastened his belt obediently, walked to the table and sat down to drink tea.

"Okay, let's get down to business, what's your new plan?"

Gu Yun looked serious and serious, his eyes rolling.

Bai Kou, who stood across the table and poured him tea, despised him.

"The lawsuit now attracts Liang Zhongshan's attention, which is a good opportunity to abduct Lan Zhu. With her confession, we don't have to spend too much time guessing."

"To abduct Lanzhu, you must first know her exact travel arrangements. It is very difficult for Tong Mingli to grasp the information in this regard. Even if she has the information, and then sends the news, the two sides have made arrangements, and the opportunity may have been missed."

"Yes, this step is too passive, so we have to take the initiative in turn. Now is the best opportunity."

"Oh?"

"Let's take down Ruoyu first, and use her to lure Lanzhu out. The two people do different things, but they are both working for the same man. They are important witnesses. If they lose them, Liang Zhongshan will be blinded. The square can no longer be opened after losing the head of Qinniang, it is an intelligence base of Liang Zhongshan."

"Abduct Ruoyu?"

"Why hesitate? Are you in trouble?"

"No way! I thought it would be easy to abduct people, but you need to find a place to resettle them."

"Either bring it back to the mansion, or find a hidden place outside."

"No, you can't bring it back to the mansion, you have to take it out after you bring it back, it's going to be very troublesome."

"Then borrow a place outside."

"Borrow from whom?"

"How about borrowing his house with a cellar from the owner of Wangjiang Tower? He will definitely not ask more questions."

"You can try it, then send someone to ask tomorrow."

"It's up to you what to do after asking the confessor."

"Okay, I'll come, there is a good place." Gu Yun rubbed his chin, showing an ambiguous smile.

"where?"

"Don't tell you."

"Tch, don't talk about falling down." Bai Kou rolled her eyes, raised her legs and walked out, "You should rest, I still have a lot to do."

"I have something to do too, let's do it together."

Gu Yun grabbed Tong Mingli's letter, jumped up and followed Bai Kou out of the bedroom to the side room, threw the letter into the tea stove and burned it directly.

Tong Mingli is absolutely not allowed to come out as a witness, so any information she leaks must be promptly destroyed. Anyway, she has already made up her mind to kidnap Ruoyu and Lanzhu. These two people are more valuable, so there is no need to keep Tong Mingli few words.

Gu Yun is busy with litigation and kidnapping, while Bai Kou is thinking about the business in the palace, which is the most important thing.

At the same time, the officials dispatched by Yingtian Mansion arrived at Hedong Village. They heard that Gu Yun sued the whole village, men, women and children with names and surnames all went to the court to respond to the lawsuit. Forgive me, especially the women who seem to be forcing them to die, and several pregnant women have different bad situations because of being too emotional.

You can't go to the court if you are born, and you can't go to hell if you die. Yamen and hell are equally terrible places in the eyes of the common people. .

Yingtian Mansion knew that such a situation was bound to happen, so they sent most of their people on a business trip. Originally, according to the contents of the complaint, Gu Yun was suing all the men, women, children and children who signed and pledged. , Changed to pass only men to the church.

But it was only rumored that the men made the whole village messy and uncooperative. Everyone thought that once they entered the yamen, they would die.

The officials did not listen to their begging for mercy. If they had known today, why bother? They had heard about the content of the contract in the yamen before they set off. Judging from their years of experience as servants, they felt that it was rare and fair, especially after they became farm laborers. The risks of farming have nothing to do with them, and the lack of harvest will not affect their monthly wages on time, and as long as they do well, there will be a generous annual reward at the end of the year. Why are they still not satisfied and insist on tearing up the contract?

Let the villagers cry and ignore them, the officials first captured the village head and other elders. They have prestige in the village, and if they are captured, they can control the villagers, and they are not afraid of the villagers fleeing. The land bordering the village is all Brother, since they decided to go to court, they have prepared their manpower in advance, guarding all the roads out of the village, so that none of them can escape, and go to court obediently to file a lawsuit.
