When I came to the noodle shop, I put down my bag, knife and stick, and one of the officials yelled loudly at the inside: "Boss, we're in business!"
The boss yawned and came out to say hello: "What do you three want to eat?"
The official asked Rong Chang'an first: "Sister Chang'an, what do you want to eat?"
In fact, Rong Changan didn't have much interest in eating breakfast: "Come here for a bowl of noodles!"
The boss looked at Rong Changan: "Well, a bowl of noodles!"
The two officials complained that they were hungry: "Bring a big bowl of noodles for each of our brothers, then a bowl of soup for each, and two rolls of white meat burritos to eat on the way."
"Okay, I'll prepare it for you." The boss didn't leave, his eyes were fixed on Rong Changan.
One of the officials threw the chopsticks on the boss and shouted: "What are you looking at, and I will dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the dog!"
The boss nodded and bowed: "I didn't intend to offend Miss, but I think she looks like someone."
The official asked: "Who is it like?"
Boss: "Like Empress Rong of our Dajing Kingdom!"
What does she look like? She is Queen Rong!
Rong Changan smiled sadly: "I am not Empress Rong, Empress Rong is already dead."
The boss was taken aback: "You... what did you say? Are you from the palace?"
Rong Chang'an didn't speak again, the officer patted the table: "Why are you so noisy, if you don't do business, we'll go to another one! I'm disturbed by asking questions!"
The boss hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm talking too much, so I'm going to make noodles for you!"
After a while, the noodles and soup came up, and the white meat burrito was wrapped in oil paper and placed on the table. Rong Changan picked two noodles and sucked them into his mouth, then stopped eating.
"Sister Chang'an, the road is long. If you don't eat something, the road will be difficult."
Rong Changan smiled slightly: "I'm full, eat slowly!"
After all, his eyes were dull and unhappy.
Whoever is dispatched to a distant county is in a bad mood. The officials stopped talking to Rong Changan and just ate.
One of them was eating, but he saw an oil lamp burning in the tavern diagonally opposite. Under the oil lamp, a person was wiping the table and beckoning to them.
The officer pointed to himself, and the man nodded with a smile. The official said to the other: "I went to buy two catties of wine. It's cold on the road. Drink some wine to warm up."
Another officer ate the noodles with a rustle, and replied, "Well, you go, get an extra two catties, and I'll drink it on the way."
The officer wiped his mouth, then creaked and walked to the tavern diagonally across the snow. The man cleaning the table didn't say a word, and walked straight into the room, and the official followed him in hesitation.
I saw a man and a woman sitting on the innermost pair of seats. The woman was covered with a veil, and the man was wearing a felt hat. His eyes were shining brightly, cold and sinister.
The table cleaner said to the two men, "He's coming!"
Zi Yan then took off her mask, with a spring look on her face, and pointed to the remaining chair: "Brother Song, come and sit down, drink a cup to warm your body!"
The official surnamed Song recognized Ziyan and was taken aback: "The imperial concubine Ziyan..."
Zi Yan put a spring bamboo shoot on her red lips, and said in a soft voice: "Shut up, Brother Song, sit down, we need your help with something!"
Song Guancha was about to sit down, but he was uneasy, and looked at Li Hao next to him warily.
"Concubine Ziyan, did you ask me to come here for something?"
Li Hao lost his eyes to the person who was cleaning the table just now, and that person closed the door. Song Guan hesitated, and wanted to stand up, but was held down by Ziyan's soft and boneless hand.
"Brother Song, don't be afraid. I have a deal I want to do for you and your brother. As long as you can do it, I will give you endless wealth for the rest of your life."
Saying that, Ziyan first took a golden hairpin from her head and put it in Song Guancha's hands: "Brother Song, this is something from the palace, it is priceless, if you pawn it, you will get at least a thousand taels of silver! "
Song Guancha opened his hand: "This item is too expensive, I can't bear it, please put it away!"
Zi Yan smiled charmingly: "You can afford it, if you help me complete the next thing I ask you to do, it is a hundred gold hairpins for you, you can also afford it."
"You don't get paid for nothing, so let's ask the imperial concubine to talk about it first!"
Zi Yan first poured three glasses of wine: "Brother Song, drink a cup of hot wine first to warm up your body. I see that you are shivering, as if you are very cold."
Song Guancha wanted not to drink at first, but Li Hao's eyes flashed coldly: "Why, the imperial concubine asked you to drink, how dare you not drink?"
Song Guancha had no choice but to drink down the wine. After drinking hot wine, the whole person becomes alive.
"Can the noble concubine talk about things now?"
Zi Yan also took a sip of wine, and Hongxia's face was full: "You also know that the person you are escorting now is the current empress. She was sent to Lingnan by the emperor because she committed a heinous crime. The empress killed her." Prince, it is an unforgivable crime to make Empress Chu bedridden."
Hearing Ziyan's words, Song Guancha was a little confused, not knowing what she wanted to do.
"I am very close to Empress Chu on weekdays, and I am worthy of her sister. Now that Empress Chu has encountered such a thing, I feel very sad and indignant, and always want to avenge her..."
Song Guancha's pupils were getting bigger little by little.
Zi Yan said: "In fact, the emperor had no relationship with Empress Rong for a long time, but it was because the world talked about him being ungrateful and ungrateful, so he didn't give Empress Rong the death penalty."
Song Guancha jumped up: "Purple Concubine Ziyan, you... don't tell me you want me to kill Empress Rong? No, no! This is absolutely impossible. If we are found out, my family's lives will be lost!"
Ziyan stretched out her soft lotus root arms again, and gently pressed Song Guancha: "How could I let you do such a thing! I just want to teach Queen Rong a lesson, let her know that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil." Bad news."
Song Guancha: "How do you plan to teach Queen Rong a lesson?"
Zi Yan took a sip of her wine, her eyes brightened, "I'm going to the Guanshan Mountain in the south of Lingnan. I heard that there are many poisonous snakes, beasts, and miasma. It must be very dangerous for you to escort Queen Rong there. Why don't you just be on the way?" , lost Empress Rong, and returned to the capital by myself. I asked a few people to tie her up, slap her a few times, give her a lesson, and throw her into the deep mountains and wild forests. Whether she lives or dies depends on her own fate. .what do you think?"
Song Guancha still shook his head: "If Empress Rong comes back and sues our two brothers, what should I do?"
Li Hao smiled coldly: "Don't worry about this, Rong Changan is guilty of crimes, how dare she return to the capital? Besides, we will definitely not let her return to the capital..."
As he spoke, Li Hao's mouth twitched into a sinister smile. Song Guancha finally understood what Zi Yan and Li Hao meant.
Zi Yan said again: "After the matter is completed, I will give each of you 10,000 taels of silver! Don't worry, when you come back, you will say that you have met bandits and are outnumbered. Queen Rong was robbed by bandits. How to track it down? Rong Changan has disappeared without a trace!"
Ziyan poured another glass of wine for the Song officer, "Brother Song, you and your brother Zhang have been officials in the yamen for decades. Do you have to travel over mountains and rivers to support your family? You took my money, quit your job as an official, bought fields and houses, and let your wife and children live a better life. Isn’t that good? Do you want to be poor for a lifetime, or rich overnight? , it depends on your own choice!"
