Chapter 69 Fabrication (addition to madoka1013)
Watching the three go away, Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The bodyguard accompanying him hurriedly said: "Since Li Er is not in prison, it's useless for us to stand here, we might as well sit in the teahouse opposite."

He pointed to a certain direction outside the alley, and said: "The teahouse is diagonally opposite the state government office, and you can see the side door of the state government office when you look up, which is convenient for us to wait for someone to come out."

Zhao Mingzhi has nothing to do.

So two people were left to pack their things, and the rest went to the teahouse.

The bodyguard was right, the tea house was being built opposite the side gate of the state government office.

A group of people entered the door without looking for a leeward position, but only looked for the table closest to the door, ordered tea and two plates of peanuts.

When it was settled just now, one of them put his things away, said hello to Zhao Mingzhi, and then walked out of the house.

It took Zhao Mingzhi a few breaths before he realized that the group of people took turns to wait at the door.

In this way, you will neither miss your companions who went to inquire about the situation, nor wait in the open air in the snow.

Only by being familiar with the local conditions can we find the right place so quickly.

She couldn't help but said: "Fortunately, I met all the bodyguard masters. If I was the only one, I really don't know what to do."

But the bodyguard waved his hands again and again: "Miss Zhao, don't brag, we are very shameful today - after collecting money, it turned out that you taught us to do things, it seems so useless..."

Zhao Mingzhi said: "You don't have to be too self-effacing. You guards are very capable in doing things. Not only do you have a lot of connections, you act decisively without delay. They are thoughtful and considerate. They have really helped me a lot."

For a while, several bodyguards were sitting shyly, wanting to nod their heads, but feeling ashamed and flustered, wanting to shake their heads, but also felt that the praise was so reasonable that they didn't want to refuse.

Zhao Mingzhi saw that everyone was sitting dryly, and saw that there were only a few plates of peanuts scattered on the table, so he called Xiaoer aside, and because he was afraid that drinking and eating meat would delay his work, he only asked him to bring some snacks from the teahouse.

After the things were put on the table, she said: "I went out early in the morning and ran for a long time. I think you are all hungry, so I will fill up a little first."

After speaking, he knew that everyone was uncomfortable when he was there, so he found an excuse and asked the little Er Xuefang where the room was, and went to wash his hands without mentioning it.

When she came back again, the table was already full of food, and only one portion was left for her to take the plate alone.

Zhao Mingzhi thanked him, took a piece of pastry with chopsticks and ate it slowly, because he was thinking about Li Xun's matter in his heart, and he didn't know why the man suddenly disappeared. I don't know whether it is sweet or salty, thick or light.

Waiting for the tea to swallow the last bite of pastry, he was about to wipe his hands with a handkerchief, when he looked down and saw the clean handkerchief, for some reason, Zhao Mingzhi suddenly had a thought, no need, just spread it out, and took the chopsticks to wipe the handkerchief. The cakes in the plate were removed one by one, wrapped gently, and put into the sleeves.

At this time, the people waiting outside have changed to the third round.

The lead bodyguard hesitated for a moment, and asked: "I have a word, I want the girl to show it to me—if I can't find the Li Er head today, what will happen?"

Zhao Mingzhi said: "If I switch to the Ping'an Bodyguard, it is for the purpose of switching to the Ping'an Bodyguard, but if I choose another Ping'an Bodyguard, do I still need to ask Li Erdao what he means?"

The bodyguard was stunned for a while, then asked: "What does Miss Zhao mean?"

Zhao Mingzhi said: "I have agreed to pay the bodyguard fee agreed with Li's Bodyguard Bureau before, but I will no longer use him, and entrust another bodyguard and Ping'an bodyguard, please send me to Jingzhao Mansion alone - is this possible?"

This operation made everyone at the table dumbfounded.

The escort asked: "Then Miss Zhao has to pay two escort fees?"

Zhao Mingzhi nodded and said, "My family is urgent, so we can't delay too long..."

However, after saying this, she hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the corner, only to see that the time was passing by, and her heart felt empty and inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was agreed before that we would leave at noon, and we really couldn't wait any longer. If we couldn't find him, we had to go first.

Interacting with Li Xun is a private matter, but going to Jingzhao Mansion is a matter of official affairs mixed with private affairs.

Those many imperial guards were injured on the way to send her away. Yushuang didn't know what was going on. As for Xuzhou being trapped and the front line was in danger, needless to say, there was even a document hidden close to her, Princess Xiaoyin. Be reminded all the time.

And even though I left, the letter had been sent, and then I would make some arrangements and ask Ping An to keep an eye on it.

She was willing to spend money, but it was only a few days' work, so it shouldn't be a big problem, as long as Second Brother Li was not to be assassinated, when Wei Chengyan arrived, he would naturally be rescued.

In fact, even if you stay here by yourself, it is of little use.

Knowing that this is the right way to do it, Zhao Mingzhi's heart is still blocked.

She only felt tightness in her chest, so she got up and said, "I'll go out and stand outside to catch my breath."

However, before taking a few steps, the man guarding the door hurriedly turned around and shouted, "They're coming out!"

After calling out, he went up to greet him by himself, and brought the person in after a while.

The two bodyguards were anxious, and when they saw Zhao Mingzhi at the table, they immediately turned around, and the first one said anxiously: "Miss Zhao, it seems that I have found the second head of Li!"

Zhao Mingzhi asked anxiously, "Where is it? What's going on?"

The man then said: "It should be in the middle of the yamen, maybe Xie Tongshang himself was in the trial, so he was not put in prison - I can't be sure, after all, I didn't find him, only the bald man that Miss Zhao said .”

He said again: "I heard that today four yamen servants entered the front yamen early in the morning. One of them is bald, and the other has protruding ears and has moles. He hasn't come out yet. I don't know what the situation is. I want to go and find out. But since Xie Tong came to the Yamen, the rules have been changed, and the acquaintances in the yamen don't dare to be self-confident."

Another person also said: "It is very important to come in in the morning. Xie Tongpan specifically explained that no matter who asks, and what they want to do, they have to write them down one by one. It's not easy to ask. The two of us When I went there just now, I was almost discovered by someone."

Zhao Mingzhi frowned when he heard it being so secretive.

But she quickly thought clearly, and said: "Since that's the case, then everyone will wait here, and I will go into the Yamen to ask."

Everyone was stunned and wanted to stop them one after another.

The bodyguard who went in to inquire earlier also said: "Miss Zhao, don't worry, wait a moment, let's go inquire again."

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said: "You can only inquire privately, but I can inquire openly—then Li Er was arrested in the yamen, so couldn't his family come to ask? This is the state yamen, not an ordinary small county yamen. Let’s talk about the criminal law, wait for me to find out my identity, ask him according to the law, and take a look at the batch of arrest documents.”

Everyone was at a loss, but Zhao Mingzhi didn't delay anymore, he asked a bodyguard to lead the way, got up and walked out.

The bodyguard was still a little confused as he was walking. After seeing that Zhao Mingzhi didn't go through the side door and asked the direction, he went straight to the main gate of the state government office. : "Miss Zhao, what do you want to ask? What identity do you have?"

He swallowed, and because he was afraid that Zhao Mingzhi would be exposed, he couldn't help pointing out: "You must know that the yamen will inquire and check the ID card. The second head of Li's family doesn't have any sisters..."
