Bai Chun turned his head and looked at the lighted window on the second floor of Zhuye Pavilion. In his mind, he could not help but imagine that the person in the room was holding a soft quilt and had fallen into a sweet dream.

"Heng Qiao and Fang Zhan cannot be moved. Chen Jingzhi is obviously someone whom His Highness the Crown Prince values. Although Li Jingye does not dare to kill Chen Jingzhi now, for fear of his daughter Chen Qinghan, we cannot be sure what will happen if Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao are lost." After the protection, Chen Jingzhi was killed because of this, and we will have to walk away with nothing to eat." Bai Chun looked at the lighted window on the second floor, and the tenderness in her heart suddenly turned into fear. She didn't want to do something serious. To annoy someone.

After all, after irritating someone, not only will you suffer, but if the situation is out of control, that person will cause chaos in the entire city of Hangzhou, and even in Huainan and Jiangnan.

Therefore, in Bai Chun's opinion, it is best not to let Fang Zhan and Heng Qiao, who are secretly staying in Yangzhou to protect Chen Jingzhi in the prison, come to Hangzhou. If Yangzhou Chen Jingzhi falls, it may become a problem. Breakthroughs and triggers of conflict.

Cheetah nodded in agreement, and after discussing with Bai Chun for a few more words, he quickly walked out and arranged the plan they had agreed upon.

On the second day, King Ze Li Shangjin and King Xu Li Sujie each sent a letter, and then they rushed to Huainan Road and Jiangnan West Road to take up posts.

"You haven't found Chen Jingzhi's daughter yet?" Li Hong had just finished his breakfast and looked at Bai Chun in front of him, asking with some surprise.

"Yeah." Bai Chun lowered his head and said a little embarrassed.

"When I went to Japan, you told me that there were clues. And didn't you find clues about Chen Qinghan when you were opposite Shen Junliang's teahouse?" Li Hong couldn't believe it. When did Bai Chun's efficiency become so low? What do Jingwei eat

"Chen Qinghan ran away on his own..."

"Under the strict protection of you Jingwei and Li Jingye, a weak woman just disappeared from your sight? You are so embarrassed to say it, and you don't feel ashamed." Li Hong hit Bai Bai mercilessly. pure.

"Who would have thought of that? Besides, there are so many coincidences. It feels like someone is picking up Chen Qinghan." Bai Chun held his chin with one hand, having long been numb to Li Hong's blow, and said to himself.

"So you think there was something fishy about the old man yesterday? Do you want to find any clues?" Li Hong asked Bai Chun, looking at Bai Chun who was shameless and without any trace of shame that he had lost someone.

"Yeah, I've always thought that I've seen this old man before, or something, but I can't always get what I want. It's really frustrating!" Bai Chun said dissatisfied, and pursed his lips. Express your dissatisfaction.

This girlish look will only appear when she is alone with Li Hong. If there is even another person present, Bai Chun will not be like this.

The habit that has been maintained for so many years has been maintained until now. Instead, because of Bai Chun's habit, it has become a natural habit and has become the rhythm of mutual adjustment between the two of them.

Li Hong looked at the stupid Bai Chun speechlessly, stretched out his index finger and tapped it in the air for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Are you stupid? Since he feels that the identity of the old man cannot be determined, and he cannot prove whether he is related to Chen Qinghan, but Don’t you still have a clue?”

"There are so many people with the surname Yang. I have to check if he is an old man. Jingwei is not the household department. Let me check the household registration." Bai Chun gave Li Hong a blank look and didn't think his idea was a good one. .

"Pig brain, Bai Chun, you are just a pig brain. No wonder Chen Qinghan ran away under your noses. You deserve it!" Li Hong said, knocking on the table because he hated the iron.

Bai Chun was not convinced. Being called a pig-brained person, he naturally had to retort: "Why am I stupid? So tell me, what can you do?"

Li Hong sighed speechlessly and said: "Since we can't find out from Hangzhou whether the old man named Yang is the person you are looking for, why not start the investigation from Yangzhou Chen Jingzhi? His friends, his classmates, and his colleagues , relatives, etc., the surname is Yang and he is about sixty or seventy years old, wouldn’t it be easier to check? "

Suddenly, Bai Chun stood up from opposite Li Hong, looked at Li Hong in surprise, and said after being stunned for a moment: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? Yes, Chen Qinghan disappeared mysteriously. Since it is suspected that someone is working inside and outside. , then it must be related to Chen Jingzhi, thank you, Your Highness!”

Bai Chunxi smiled brightly and no longer cared about Li Hong calling her a pig. She quickly walked up to Li Hong, kissed Li Hong on the cheek, then ran out of the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion and found someone to leave Yangzhou Chen Jingzhi. Checked it out.

For Li Hong, the top priority now is naturally to find this Chen Qinghan. Li Jingye has never killed Chen Jingzhi, which is enough to prove that the escaped Chen Qinghan must have some secrets in his hands, which makes Li Jingye have to Be afraid of Chen Jingzhi.

With nothing to do, he walked around but didn't see where Bai Chunfeng was, so he walked out of Li's Mansion alone, planning to go to Hangzhou City by himself.

It will take some time for Li Shangjin, Li Sujie, and even Li Chongyi, the marching generals of the three roads, to take up their posts and strengthen their troops.

So during this period, all he could do was wait for news from a few people, and try his best to keep everything under control before heading to Yangzhou, hoping to minimize the subsequent chaos.

Wearing a scholar's green shirt, for the first time today, he tied up his hair and put on a bun. He looked at himself in the mirror, looking suave and handsome, and felt very proud.

Walking on the lively streets of Hangzhou City, feeling the prosperity of this era, when passing by a perfume shop, I accidentally glanced inside and saw a familiar figure of Princess Da Lai!

I saw this guy actually seeming to be bargaining with the store clerk. There were several bottles of perfume on the counter. Princess Dalai hesitated to choose this bottle for a while, then picked up another bottle with embarrassment, and reluctantly put down the previous one. bottle.

Li Hong was curious, so he quietly looked at the Dalai Princess inside at the door of the perfume shop where few men entered.

"I want both bottles, but can you make them cheaper?" Princess Dalai looked at the woman in front of her and said pleadingly.

"Miss, I have given you the lowest price. If it is cheaper, I will lose money. You are also a person who knows the goods. Naturally, you know that this perfume is much better than gouache. How about you get a bottle? Buy it again. Some good gouache, although not as expensive as perfume, is still good." The woman smiled and shook her head. These things were all shipped from Chang'an. Although the profit from each bottle was very high, they had already been sold. The beautiful person in front of me has been discounted to the lowest price. No matter how cheap it is, it's like giving it away for free.

"But... I need two bottles of perfume. I want to buy one for myself." Princess Dalai stared at the perfume tightly, fearing that the woman would take it away and put it on the counter.

"Isn't that just right? Just have a bottle..."

Princess Dalai had a troubled expression on her face again. She looked at the woman and said with some embarrassment: "But...but I also want to give a bottle of perfume to a beautiful sister. If you only buy it for me and not for her, how can it be wrong?" It’s not too rude, is it?”

"Miss, this...then I can't do anything. This is already the lowest price. Whether you buy one bottle or two bottles, we have to agree. This price is only for this time. After you go out, you can't say how much it cost." Otherwise, other people would think it was too expensive and ask me to refund the money." The woman was helpless, so she had no choice but to ignore Princess Dalai's request. Instead, she talked about her own difficulties and hoped for this beautiful lady. , accept it when you can, and don't embarrass her anymore.

Li Hong stood quietly at the door and watched, thinking that the beautiful sister mentioned by Princess Dalai was Bai Chun, right

You're quite good at things. Just a few days after I came here, I started to learn to bribe Bai Chun. But this idiot, doesn't he know that Bai Chun has a lot of perfumes

There were so many bottles and jars on Bai Chun's dressing table. She could just grab one or two at random, and I'm afraid Bai Chun wouldn't notice, right? Why sacrifice the near for the far.

Princess Dalai didn't know that she was being watched. She clenched her little fists and looked at the two bottles of perfume seriously. She struggled with them. Finally, she bit her silver teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll buy one bottle. And some rouge." Just gouache.”

"Okay, Bai Chun has no share anymore." Li Hong looked at the back of Princess Dalai and thought to himself.

But when he had just made up his mind, he heard Princess Dalai's tone become much more relaxed, and she said to the woman with some relief: "Can you please help me package this perfume... make it more delicate?"

"Oh! Are you going to give away the perfume and then keep it for yourself to use rouge and gouache?" The woman was also surprised. Just now she thought that this beautiful lady would keep the perfume for herself, and then let herself use the rouge. The gouache is packaged beautifully so that she can give it away.

Unexpectedly, this beautiful woman actually wanted to use rouge and gouache for herself. The perfume was so expensive and elegant, something that even a woman would be reluctant to give away, yet she gave it away with her teeth.

The look on Princess Dalai's face looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed. She also wanted to use perfume, but she didn't have any extra money in her pocket to buy a second bottle.

Moreover, who knew that such a small bottle of perfume could be so expensive? It's simply too luxurious.

Of course she had used this perfume when she was in Japan, but she didn't know how much it was worth. It was given to her by her father. How could she have known that a bottle of perfume would be so ridiculously expensive.

The woman looked at the well-behaved and beautiful Princess Dalai with her beautiful eyes staring at the abandoned bottle of perfume. She couldn't bear it. She gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, I will make a loss-making transaction today. The worst I can do is go back." It’s just a matter of being scolded by my husband. I’ll sell you these two bottles of perfume at the price you said!”

"Really? Isn't it impossible? Thank you, thank you!" Princess Dalai's face was full of unexpected surprises, and she saluted the woman repeatedly.
