female catcher

Chapter 69
Mr. Jing Zhaoyin and Mr. Jiang over there don't know that his majestic yamen in the capital has been abused by a maid, and he is sitting in the Shide building angrily enjoying his lunch.

"Am I such a person without official authority?" Jiang Xiyuan asked Liu Qi.

Liu Qiqi nodded, then quickly shook his head, "Master, why do you need to show off your authority?"

"It should be done!" Jiang Xiyuan wiped his mouth with a cloth, "From the beginning of Xia, including the arresters under him, one by one, they don't pay attention to me."

"Master, that's not what you said."

"Then what should I say?" Jiang Xiyuan pointed at him, "And you, the same raccoon."

Liu Qi bowed his hands to apologize, but said: "Look, I have been with you for so many years, and I am supposed to be your servant, but I have never been used to it. But if you say that I don't put you in In my eyes, that's not right."

"Do you still know whether you are old or young?"

"I know." Liu Qi straightened his expression, "But I respect you from the bottom of my heart. I think it's better than those full-fledged officials who are submissive to him, but turn around and say nothing. Disdain is not as strong as a good word."

Jiang Xiyuan thought about it, and felt a little better, "That's true."

"I chatted with those police officers in private, and they all said hello." Liu Qi gave Jiang Xiyuan a thumbs-up and shook his head, "They said that you are approachable, don't put on airs, treat your subordinates seriously, are upright and clear in judging cases, Compared with the previous Jing Zhaoyin, he is not a bit stronger."

"You really said that?"

"How can there be fakes? Young master, it is much more difficult to make people like and respect you than to make people afraid of you."

Jiang Xiyuan's mood improved, and he endured it, but he still couldn't help laughing, "Okay, Liu Qi, you have made progress, and you can speak such standard words."

Liu Qi smiled modestly, and said in his heart: The young master's itchy flesh is really accurate when scratched!
Jiang Xiyuan decided not to argue with Xia Chu any more, and after returning to the government office, he asked Xia Chu to come over, but Wang Huai told him that Xia Chu had gone out.

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know, the boss didn't say anything. After Yan Zhenghong left, someone came to him, and he left."

"Who is looking for him?" Jiang Xiyuan became slightly alert.

"I don't know him. He's a young man, and he seems to be well-dressed."

"Male?" Countless serious or dirty thoughts flashed through Jiang Xiyuan's mind, and when he came to his senses, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. The mood that was fine just now turned cloudy.

"You just said that Yan Zhenghong left? What's going on?"

"Oh, the matter has been found out. Yan Zhenghong has an alibi on the night of the third day of March. Also, the sachet does not belong to Liu Ying, so he let it go first."

"Come to my study and explain clearly."

Wang Huai stood still, bowed his hands and said, "Xu Lu is quite clear about this matter, but the boss asked him to investigate Liu Rong. My lord, I'm about to go out now."

"What are you going to do?"

"The boss arranged for Zheng Lian and I to check Liu Ying's social relations to see if there is still a situation like Brother Zhu'er's."

Jiang Xiyuan waved his hand sullenly, "Then you go."

The person who called Xia Chu away was naturally An Liang.

When Xia Chu saw him, he greeted him easily, and jumped into the car, "How do you know I'm coming back today?"

An Liang chuckled, "How could I know, I just happened to come over and ask, you just happened to be here."

This is indeed a coincidence.

Su Zhen finished approving the papers today, seeing that there was nothing to do, he wanted to go out of the palace for a walk.He has lived in the palace since he was a child, and he directly inherited the throne before leaving the palace to set up his own mansion.Right now, he has no parents, and he has not yet got married or drafted, so he wants to make good use of this rare free time in his life.

Take care of what you do, in fact, it's just going out of the palace and walking around the street like an ordinary son.An Liang sometimes thinks about this, and feels that the emperor is quite pitiful.

Today, when Su Zhen walked to the Shide Building and wanted to have lunch, he happened to see Jiang Xiyuan coming out of it.An Liang wanted to go up to say hello, but was stopped by Su Zhen.

"Jiang Xiyuan is back, does that mean that the people from the government office have returned from Wanfo Temple?" Su Zhen asked.

"That's probably what it means." An Liang replied.

Su Zhen smiled slightly, almost blinding An Liang's eyes under the sunlight, hating himself for not being a woman.

"Go to the government office and find Xia Chu. Didn't he want to treat me to dinner? Let's do it today. I want to avoid Jiang Xiyuan." After finishing speaking, Su Zhen stepped into the Shide Building with great interest, and asked Xiaoer asked for a private room and ordered a pot of tea, and patiently waited for the arrival of early summer.

So An Liang said it was a coincidence, but it was not a lie.

An Liang stopped the car in front of Shide Building, asked Xiao Er to lead the horse, and led Xia Chu upstairs.Xia Chu looked at this tall facade, and his heart pounded.

"Master Xia?" An Liang turned to look at her.

Only then did Xia Chu take a deep breath, straightened his clothes as a policeman, and walked in with a posture.

As soon as Xiaoer saw Xia Chu's attire, he came up to him with a doglike smile and said, "Oh, Guanye, Guanye, are you eating wine or eating? Look at your face, you must have just been promoted. You are from a vocational high school, and you are honored to come to us, it is truly magnificent!"

How could Xia Chu have ever received such flattery? He was a little at a loss when he was photographed, so he could only clear his throat and say, "You are busy with your work, don't worry about me."

"Okay, please come inside, if you need anything, just say hello." Xiaoer nodded and bowed and watched Xia Chu go upstairs.

After seeing Su Zhen at the door, Xia Chu let out a long sigh of relief, "It's so scary."

"Who? Me?" Su Zhen asked puzzled.

Xia Chu sat down opposite him, and said with a smile: "Of course not. It's the waiter in the shop. The flattery is too explicit. I really can't stand it. It seems that I will stop wearing this dress and wandering around in the future."

Su Zhen also smiled, "The flattery is scary, it's quite a failure. The waiter probably didn't expect such an effect."

"I remember someone said that it takes a lot of mental endurance to watch others flatter you. It turns out that being flattered by others requires more courage." Xia Chu picked up tea to moisten his throat, and then took a look at the teacup, "Mr. Huang said That's right, you really need good water to make tea, even though this restaurant is so luxurious, the tea is really not as good as the one in Yunjing Temple."

Su Zhen secretly laughed, thinking that although he didn't know how to taste tea this early summer, his taste was elevated.With Xuedingyanwu tea Zhuyu in front, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have good tea in his eyes.

"The tea in Shide Building is barely drinkable." Su Zhen also took a sip at these words, "But the merchants want to make profits, and the cost of top-quality tea is high, which is not worthwhile."

Xia Chu nodded, and after a bit of mental calculation, he seemed to ask unintentionally, "I've never been here, so I don't know how much a pot of tea costs here?"

Su Zhen didn't know either, so he raised his voice to call An Liang in, and An Liang said, "This is the top-quality white tea from Gutuo Mountain, it costs 50 taels of silver per catty, and this pot of tea leaves costs about two kuai."

"50 taels per catty. Three qian per pot, one catty equals ten taels, one tael equals ten qian..." Xia Chu frowned slightly, and drew his fingers under the table to settle the accounts, "That means..."

"Well, one tael of silver." Su Zhen replied for her.

An Liang nodded, "Yes, this is the price of tea on the market, hehe, of course it is not the same price in Shide Building. This pot of tea here is two taels of silver, half the profit."

"Oh, two taels." Xia Chu nodded, did some calculations in his mind, and suddenly turned back to Mener, stood up and said, "How much?! Two taels of silver for a pot of tea?!"

Is this a money grab? !Her monthly salary is ten taels of silver, which is not low. Based on the price conversion, it can basically be said that her monthly salary is over ten thousand. Doesn't this pot of tea cost - 2000 yuan? !

A pot of tea costs 2000 yuan, wouldn't that meal eat up her whole house!
I've heard of house slaves, she couldn't be a rice slave in the beginning of summer, right?Do you want to be so ashamed!

"what happened?"

Xia Chu looked at him in a panic, "Then..., Mr. Huang, I want to treat you to dinner."

Su Zhen blinked incomprehensibly, "Yes, I remember this."

Xia Chu looked straight at Su Zhen, and shouted in his heart: "Master! We are not at the same level, okay! I want to treat you to dinner, you have to find someone I can afford! I can't sell myself Please go!"

Su Zhen didn't understand what happened to Xia Chu at all. He never knew the price of meals in Shidelou, nor did he know what this price meant to ordinary working-class people.

Anyway, every time he came, it was basically Jiang Xiyuan who paid for it. Jiang Xiyuan ran a brothel in private and was very rich.Even if Su Zhen came by himself, this meal was nothing to the rich emperor.

Su Zhen and Xia Chu, the whole day does not understand the darkness of night, you will never understand my sadness.

After staring at each other for a while, Xia Chu finally said in a roundabout way: "Mr. Huang, this big restaurant actually has a good environment and good service, but when it comes to the taste of the food, it's really so-so. It's not interesting."

"Big goods?" Su Zhen didn't understand.Anyway, except for the imperial meals, he ate in big restaurants.

Xia Chu nodded affirmatively, "I know there is a place where the food is particularly delicious, and the owner is also very kind. It's definitely better than here. Is Mr. Huang interested in trying it?"

Su Zhen obviously hesitated.In his perception, Shidelou is the best restaurant in the capital, and he doesn't believe there is any place better than this.

At the beginning of Xia, he showed an attitude of chicken soup for the soul and said encouragingly: "Mr. Huang, life needs exploration and discovery. The unchanging life is very boring, but we are often powerless to change. Perhaps, a new attempt can make you discover the difference in life, and you can See a different kind of scenery around the corner.”

There is no chicken soup for the soul in this era, let alone the flood of questions. A few words really moved Su Zhen.

A life of the same kind is boring—including being an emperor.
