Hidden in the court

Chapter 165 Give me another serving of braised chicken

Ah Qing was so anxious that she was dancing with joy. It was obvious that the little girl was really anxious.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now. You have to take responsibility for what you said. Everyone else, go away and take us to your room."

I came to Ah Qing's room, opened the window and looked up, and sure enough, I was facing a window on the third floor above.

The eaves of the second floor are not high, but if you want to climb up, you still have to stand on the window. The third floor is almost the same size as the second floor, but the eaves are narrower, only about half a palm's width, not to mention it is a slope, so it is difficult to stand firmly on it.

"Can you climb again so we can see?"

"Okay, I'll climb."

Ah Qing was eager to prove himself, so he agreed immediately. He moved a stool, stepped on the window sill, grabbed the eaves with both hands, and stretched his whole body out. He raised his legs into an exaggerated split and stepped on the hollow space under the eaves.

This way of going upstairs was something that no one had expected. Seeing their surprised expressions, the shopkeeper explained, "Ah Qing can dance, so this move won't be difficult for her."

In this way, A Qing climbed half of his body to the third floor, sticking tightly to the wall, and it seemed that he could just see the scene in the window.

What Ah Qing did next shocked everyone present. He did not retract his legs as expected. Instead, he let go and fell backwards. To be more precise, he fell towards the window on the second floor. His hands firmly grasped the window sill. He was hanging upside down like this, and then he retracted his legs and neatly passed through the window and returned to the room.

I don’t know if it was out of professionalism, but he showed it to everyone after landing.

"Well, I didn't lie, did I?"

"Then do you know where those boxes were transported to?"

Hu Die asked.

Ah Qing shook his head. "I don't know. I just saw them moving boxes out of the window and then disappearing into the night."

Hu Die frowned, it seemed that this clue was broken again. He turned to the others, "Let's find out where those boxes are! Shopkeeper, please tell the people in the store not to talk about what happened tonight anymore."

"it is good."

At this moment, the waiter who had just come in also came in and whispered something to Zhao Yao.

Ji Mingshang heard this.

"I say, we are here to eat, don't you see how hungry those two are? The dishes are all served, why don't we eat first?"

"You guys eat first, I'll go by myself."

"Okay, go ahead then. I'll protect them both here."

Seeing Hu Die turning around and about to leave, Ji Mingshang quickly expressed his attitude. The key point was that he was also hungry.

It was Zhao Yao who called Hu Die at this time.

"It's such a big night market, and there are so many people and eyes. Even asking around will take a lot of effort. What can you do alone? Call the people from the Censorate tomorrow, and come here together to ask door to door."

In the end, Hu Die sat down according to her heart.

"Bright moon chicken, boiled meatballs, fresh gourd soup, phoenix seeking the phoenix, fermented bean curd and bean curd skin, purple crispy meat, snow greens, vegetarian ham, steamed vegetarian chicken, jade lung, mountain and sea Kui, white braised vegetarian sea cucumber..."

The waiter read out the names of the dishes one by one, which made Luo Lin, Ji Mingshang and Su Mengyang all feel a little curious.

This "Jiaoyue Fragrant Chicken" has chicken, but where is "Jiaoyue"? Could it be these shrimps? And this "Fengqiuhuang" is white-cut chicken with dipping sauce. This "Yuguanfei" sounds like lung slices at first glance, and it looks like it, but it is actually a vegetarian dish, and a dessert. Shanhai Kui sounds like that, too, and it is also vegetarian.

Ji Mingshang smacked his lips as he looked at the things on the table. "Why are there so many vegetarian dishes? Give me another braised chicken and some rice. I love it."

"Sister Hu, try this..."

Rowling, who was sitting next to Hu Die, helped pick up the dishes, picking up this and that, and even the dishes on the opposite table were not left out. If there were not enough people, she would stand up to pick up some.

Ji Mingshang, who was sitting across the table, saw this scene. He looked at Zhao Yao, who was eating beside him, and Su Mengyang, who was quite a gentleman, and took a deep breath.

"Come on, Brother Su, eat this..."

That action, that tone, it's simply... unbearable to watch.

Zhao Yao, who was burying his head and eating his food, was obviously stunned for a moment, and Hu Die had the same reaction.

Rowling's reaction was slightly different. All I can say is that it was a bastard's day job - I couldn't help laughing.

Su Mengyang was also slightly embarrassed by him, but he still kept thanking him.

Finally, Rowling stood up, picked up a piece of meat, and stopped in mid-air. As for why she didn't reach out? Because her arms were not long enough!

Ji Mingshang suddenly reacted and held out his bowl. After eating the meat, he continued to eat the braised chicken with rice with satisfaction.

There were so many things, most of which were local specialties. The food was also novel for several people, and the table was full. Five people finally finished it.

Luo Lin and Su Mengyang were both full, but they didn't expect the other three to eat like cows. Now they understood why they were so good at fighting.

The next morning, Hu Die gave instructions to Wang Dahu.

"Inform the people who went to the night market with you last time to go to the night market again tonight and focus on asking if they saw anyone or many large boxes near Wangchun Tower on the first night of the new year."

"Yes, my lord."

Today she decided to go to the provincial capital to see if Wang Xie and Zheng Jiao had found out anything. If they did, it would be fine, but if not, it would be a big problem.

……

But she didn't expect to meet an unexpected person outside the gate of Qingzhou Prefecture.

"Mr. Huo, what are you doing in the state capital?"

Huo Gang laughed at first, then a hint of coldness appeared on his face: "I heard that you solved a big case, and these two guys ran to your Censorate and snatched the prisoner away. To tell you the truth, I came here today to cause trouble for them. How can they bully a junior like you? I will scold them to death today!"

Hu Die felt relieved after hearing this, and then she advised: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, but I voluntarily handed these people over to them, so it doesn't matter. The only person who knows is still locked up in my Censorate. Mr. Huo must not become enemies with these two because of me."

Mr. Huo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he returned to his usual temper.

"It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, I've been demoted to Qingzhou as a Sima, and I've reached retirement age. Where can I be demoted further? Anyway, it's not okay to bully you. I must scold him today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Governor Wang Xie and Chief Clerk Zheng Jiao came out.

"Imperial Censor Hu, Boss Huo has arrived. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me, please forgive me..."

As soon as the two men met, they began to beg for mercy, with a very humble attitude. They naturally heard what Huo Gang had just said outside, but what else could they do?
