The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 387 So Hasty (1)
Cai Tieniu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sent someone to send news to the inner courtyard.

Zhou Boyan rode a horse alone and came to the snack shop.

Today, the Spring Festival couplet stall in Qingyang is not deserted, there are many people gathered, and men account for a minority, basically older women or older girls and younger daughters-in-law.A group of women gathered in front of the stall, talking and laughing with more or less Spring Festival couplets in their hands.But Qingyang and Hao were blocked inside, and they couldn't even see their shadows.

This change is quite different from the scene on that day when I was young.Zhou Boyan was surprised.

When Du Huwei saw Zhou Boyan, he nodded his head.

Zhou Boyan also nodded his head, handed the horse over to a waiter who came out of the canteen, and walked into the canteen.It was not time for lunch, and there were only three or two individual customers sitting in the shop.His eyes quickly swept over the faces of these three or two individual travelers, and then asked Gu Yuanhe who came up, "Are there any other guests?"

"Yes, there is another guest in the private room." Gu Yuanhe said, looking at the door of the private room with the guest.

Zhou Boyan patted Gu Yuanhe on the shoulder, "Try not to arrange guests here." After finishing speaking, he walked to the door of the private room where there were guests, looked back at Gu Yuanhe, pushed open the sliding door of the private room and walked away went in.

In the private room, a red-faced middle-aged man in coarse clothes was burying himself in his food.He was alone, and there were eight or nine dishes steamed, stewed and fried on the table.

Zhou Boyan closed the sliding door, walked to the middle-aged man and sat down, "I thought you were in the capital."

The middle-aged man stuck two meatballs into his mouth with chopsticks, making his cheeks puff up, looking a little funny.He chewed the balls in his mouth, raised his head and gave Zhou Boyan a white look, and said in a rough voice, "You are only allowed to roam around the world, but you are not allowed to come out to play, what's the reason?"

"Who are you pretending to be with?" Zhou Boyan grabbed the teacup on the table as if to throw him.

The middle-aged man is busy covering his face with his hand.His voice changed, it was no longer rough, but a gentle and frivolous voice that belonged to a young man, "Don't, don't, boy, I'm afraid of you. Brother, this makeup is too expensive It was made with great effort, but it cannot be ruined on a cup of tea in your kid's hand."

Zhou Boyan put down his teacup, "Why, enough of being a suave and talented nobleman?"

The middle-aged man grinned, and inserted two more meatballs poured with soup with his chopsticks, "I've heard it for a long time. The food in the restaurant opened by your confidante is as delicious as a big restaurant. Try it today. It really lives up to its reputation.”

Zhou Boyan snorted, "Stop talking nonsense. Tell me, what are you here for?"

The middle-aged man ate the meatballs on the chopsticks, spread his hands, and said inarticulately, "I'll send you a letter, and I'll see how happy you are."

Zhou Boyan took the teacup again and tried to throw him away.

He threw the chopsticks away, and quickly covered his face with his hands, "Don't, don't, everyone said that the big brother's makeup was made with great effort, why are you still here?"

Zhou Boyan only gave him one word, "Say."

He took away the hand covering his face, sighed, and straightened his face, "The superior sent me here not only for the matter mentioned in the letter, but also for another matter. Your confidante..." Up to now, he has been Hesitant to speak.

Without blinking his eyes, Zhou Boyan splashed the half cup of tea in his hand directly on his face.

He seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He pulled out the tray hidden under the table, and while covering his face, he yelled.I saw the tea splashed on the tray, the water droplets splashed, and splashed into several dishes on the table, and the meatballs closest to him were not spared.He took away the tray, lay down on the plate of meatballs and yelled, "Wow... Grandpa's meatballs, grandpa's meatballs."

Zhou Boyan, who was pouring tea, sat across from him calmly, letting him roar and yell without any sign of guilt.After he stopped yelling, he opened his mouth, "Do you want another drink?"

He stopped immediately, "Okay! Your confidante..." He made a long ending in the word "Ji", seeing that the person on the other side was about to turn his back on him, so he quickly continued, "Brother, I'm in trouble." He dawdled Grabbing the chopsticks, he moved his buttocks and sat next to Zhou Boyan, moved the plate of fish meat that had not been affected by the tea to him, and carefully picked out the fishbone, while saying, "I don't need to tell you, you should have found out. The superiors sent General Gu, Lieutenant General Li, and Vice General Qiao to meet him. At that time, there were three newborns, General Gu, Lieutenant General Li and Qiao, and each received a newborn baby. I don't need to say what the result was. "

Zhou Boyan remained silent, but his face was gloomy.

"Three newborns, two of them died on the spot. The other one, the one carried by General Gu, was abducted by unknown persons. After that, no matter how we searched, the abducted one could not be found. Many people believe that the person is dead. This matter has been forgotten for many years, even those who know the matter, but they don’t want to. Recently, there has been another disturbance. When winter came, Lieutenant General Li’s seven-year-old son disappeared. A few days later His body was found on the outskirts of Beijing. A few days before you left Beijing, Lieutenant General Qiao's eight-year-old son also disappeared."

Zhou Boyan frowned, but did not interrupt.

"Fortunately, when the bandits were about to kill the child, they were smashed by a team of officers and soldiers searching for fugitives. The bandits escaped and the son of Deputy General Qiao was saved. The son of Deputy General Qiao said that the bandits carried him to the outskirts of Beijing and escaped. The shoes and socks on his left foot have seen the soles of his feet. This strange behavior of the gangsters has attracted the attention of Xue Hu from Dali Temple. Xue Hu has linked the narration of Vice General Qiao’s son with the murder of Vice General Li’s son. After some investigation, he found that when the body of Lieutenant General Li’s son was found, the shoes and socks on his left foot were taken off, while the shoes and socks on his right foot were still in good condition.”

Zhou Boyan clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead protruded, and there was a murderous intent on his body.

"If it were me, even so, I wouldn't suspect anything. I would only believe that the murderer was a pervert who took off the child's left shoe and socks before killing him. But Xue Huhu of Dali Temple didn't think so, and he reported his guess He went up and said that the third target might be the son of General Gu who also received the emperor's order back then. The other party's target was a seven or eight-year-old boy, and he was the son of the general who had received the emperor's order to adopt him. Apparently, some people suspected that that one was still alive, and suspected that that one lived in the mansion of the general who had received the emperor's order, and this caused a storm." Someone tried to uncover the royal secret that was trying to cover up, and injured Innocent children, this is not tolerated by the royal family.

The murderous intent from Zhou Boyan's body gradually dissipated, but his heart was full of turbulent waves.Indeed, before he left Beijing, all senior officials in Beijing and China were silent, wishing to bring the children and grandchildren under the age of ten in the mansion with them at all times to protect them.The reason is that Lieutenant General Li's son was killed first, and Vice General Qiao's son was almost killed later.At that time, he didn't know that the gangster took off the children's left shoes and socks. If he knew, if he knew...
