August twenty-first.
Although it is noon, the autumn air is crisp and the weather is pleasant.
Ye Qingxuan came out of the mansion, this time he didn't ride a horse, but strode along the long and straight street.
The sun is shining brightly.
Luodu is really a beautiful city, the streets are flat and wide, the houses are tidy, and even the storefronts of every shop are decorated far more exquisitely than other cities.
Ye Qingxuan's target is Peng Daosheng.
Recently, I heard that Peng Daosheng was in a bad mood. The disbandment of the Twelve Elders' Association meant that all his hard work for it was in vain.
Such a person, at such a time, to find him would naturally have to find a place with good wine.
The main business hours of Wangxian Building are at night, and the only place to go during the day is Chunhua Building.
The streets of Luodu are very lively because of the eventful martial arts.
From time to time, you can see masters from all corners of the country, and even outside the domain, hanging out here.
Walking around all the way, he hasn't seen the person he was looking for, but he saw many people he doesn't want to see.
The first one turned out to be Qin Suqing.
Qin Suqing was also wandering in the jewelry market outside the front door, accompanied by a gorgeously dressed woman with jewels and emerald hair.
This woman is afraid that she is forty years old, so she should be the housewife of a certain family, but Ye Qingxuan dare not take a second look. Seeing Qin Suqing, he immediately turned his head. Qin Suqing had clearly seen him, but she pretended not to see him, and suddenly took the woman's hand and got into a black painted carriage.
The huge "Liu" character on the carriage made him suddenly realize that the woman might be the close relative of Liu Mengyan.
Ye Qingxuan turned his head slowly until the carriage drove away, watching Liu's carriage go away, he couldn't help frowning thinking of Zhuo Huifan's proposal, did he really want to marry this woman in a fake marriage? In any case, I feel that I have suffered a little bit.
On the opposite street, several people were greeting him with smiles, but in a group of people a few steps away, a young man put his hand on his sword and glared at him angrily.
Those who smiled at him were acquainted with each other. Two of them were originally dragon and phoenix masters of the Twelve Elders' Association, but they didn't play the game that day, so they were acquainted with each other once.
The one who stared at him was Zhangqiu Taiyan's apprentice, the eldest son of Zhou family in Yueyang, Zhou Ziyi, the son of Zhou Tingdong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.
His eyes were fierce, and he looked like he was about to come and ask for trouble. There seemed to be a group of dudes beside him, seeing Zhou Ziyi glaring at Ye Qingxuan, they also looked provocative, obviously they didn't recognize this famous commander of the Shence Mansion in Luodu City.
Ye Qingxuan didn't have time to talk to them, and he didn't want to make trouble, so he just nodded to the few people over there, then turned around in a hurry, and walked up the east street.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from an antique calligraphy and painting shop next to the street, and patted his shoulder.
"Unexpectedly, you still have time to go shopping? Did you do what you promised me?"
As soon as Ye Qingxuan turned around, he saw Zong Xuan's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
You won't meet him if you go shopping casually, because Zong Xuan is definitely not a casual person.
I'm afraid that he has followed me all the way, knowing that he has another purpose, so he showed up.
Ye Qingxuan shrugged helplessly, and said: "Since you want to gain credit and fame, you just come to meet someone with me..."
…
When Ye Qingxuan and Zong Xuan found Peng Daosheng, he had already drank at least one jar of Xinghuachun in the box on the third floor of Chunhua Building, his face was rosy, and he was slightly drunk.
When people are in a bad mood, they always want to drink some wine and get drunk. Watching the world is like a game, which is very ridiculous, so I am relieved.
But if a person has a good capacity for alcohol and is still not a bit drunk after drinking a jar, this kind of time is very painful.
There are no dishes on the table, but there are three wine jars.
Not caring that there were two people sitting opposite him, Peng Daosheng pushed the wine jar and said in a deep voice, "I'm in a bad mood right now. If I want to ask something, I should drink first..."
Without saying a word, Ye Qingxuan slapped open the mud seal of a wine jar, faced the mouth of the jar, and directly took a swig.
After killing one-third in one breath, Fang just breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The Xinghuachun from Chunhua Building is indeed a good wine."
Peng Daosheng chuckled, and said: "Not only is the wine good, but it's also very expensive. The store's hundred-year-old treasures are only four jars. If you drink it in one gulp, it's probably worth ten taels of gold."
Zong Xuan picked up another wine jar, and said calmly: "The value of good wine is not in gold and silver, but in the people who drink it. Even if it is worth tens of thousands of gold, if you buy it and feed it to pigs and cattle, it is still worthless. Just like the "Proud Sword" in the hands of Mr. Peng, in the hands of a waste, it is a piece of scrap iron, but only in the hands of Mr. Peng, it can be regarded as a world-famous sword."
"That's a good point, I'll make it clear!"
Peng Daosheng and Zong Xuan held up the wine jar, raised their heads and drank heavily.
Two lonely and peerless people, two lonely and peerless swords, it is unexpected that Peng Daosheng and Zong Xuan are the same kind of people, but there are endless topics to talk about.
Peng Daosheng glanced at Ye Qingxuan sideways, and said coldly: "Master Commander Tongzhi has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so I wonder why he is looking for Peng this time?"
Ye Qingxuan said bluntly, "I want to ask Mr. Peng about the past when he escorted Concubine Meng into Luodu."
"That thing? It's been a long time, I don't remember." Peng Daosheng frowned and replied calmly.
Zong Xuan glanced at Ye Qingxuan in surprise, and didn't understand why these things were involved in the investigation of "Sakura Rain Divine Water". A very important."
"If you say you don't remember, you don't remember. Don't make noise."
Peng Daosheng showed a look of extreme impatience, and almost ordered him to be kicked out.
Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath, and said again: "Then, Mr. Peng, can you tell me why the relationship with Senior Brother Zhao Fengchan suddenly became tense?"
"None of your business!" Peng Daosheng jumped up against the case and said angrily, "It turns out that you came here today to find someone Peng to be unhappy. Don't think that you are an official and I'm afraid of you. Someone Peng's 'Proud Sword' In front of you, I don't treat you as a person. Hmph!"
When the words fell to the ground, Peng Daosheng walked away in a huff, ignoring the two of them.
Zong Xuan hurriedly got up to dissuade him, but he heard Ye Qingxuan let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "Yesterday, there was a fire in the palace, and the Zongzong Building was completely burned down. Everything about Concubine Meng was wiped out..."
"What did you say?" Peng Daosheng's body shook, he turned around and looked at Ye Qingxuan in a daze, then sneered again, and said, "What does this have to do with the old man? Commander Tongzhi, don't you think it's the old man's doing? ridiculous."
"Of course it wasn't done by Mr. Peng. It's just that Mr. Peng is not curious. Who wants to hide everything about Concubine Meng?" According to the information in hand, Peng Daosheng has no relationship with the Seventh Prince. Ye Qingxuan can only use Concubine Meng Probing, I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be really problematic.
