Spring Forest Evening

The guy was naturally happy when he heard it, and he responded happily, and went down to get some tea.

When he came up again, Zhou Heng casually brought up the topic again:

"I've been here to drink tea with you before, and the business was so good at that time, not to mention the elegant seats facing the street, I couldn't even go up to the second floor."

"Who says it's not, alas!" The guy sighed as he put the refreshments on the table:

"But whoever comes to our Zhongnan Road, who doesn't want to come to this street to have a look? It's a pity..."

While speaking, he lowered his voice and said to the two of them:

"It's said that the big tree attracts the wind, hehe, I didn't expect that even the Empress Dowager's natal family would dare to go up there."

"Oh? There are other things like this?" Zhou Heng and Chunying looked at each other, and the latter added:

"No wonder we were stopped when we wanted to go over there to see it."

"It's definitely hard to get through, and you can't get closer within ten feet," the guy said with a confident look: "Even if the two of you are girls."

"Why is that?" Zhou Heng asked him curiously: "In broad daylight, we just take a look, how magnificent the Governor's Mansion is."

Point to the spring warbler:

"My cousin is from Gyeonggi-do. I brought her here to see it this time. I heard from her that the three princesses have become regents now. We are also honored!"

"That's right, Elder Sister brought me here on purpose today," Chun Ying answered immediately, with a disappointed expression on her face: "Oh, who knew that I couldn't make it through, why, did something happen in the mansion? "

The guy hesitated after hearing this, but Chunying had no choice but to take out the broken silver she found for the buns she bought just now, put it on the table and pushed it, while trying to put on a cute and pitiful look:

"Don't worry, brother, I'm going back to Gyeonggi-do tomorrow. Only the three of us know about it. I swear, I won't even tell my parents when I get home!"

Zhou Heng almost laughed out loud when he heard that, Chunying's parents are far away in the northwest, and even so, he can swear, anyway, the Zhou family is not here now, and there is no way to talk about the parents of the previous life:

"Well, don't worry, little brother, I also swear that I won't even tell my parents when I get home!"

The man was already moved when he saw the broken silver, and waited for the two delicate girls to swear in front of him in turn and called himself coquettishly:

"Oh, just tell me!"

Gritting his teeth, he gathered the broken silver on the table into his sleeve without any trace, then turned around and closed the door of the private seat, and then he came back and said to the two of them in a low voice:

"It's like this. One night, I don't remember the exact day. In the middle of the night, we who were laying the floor in the building suddenly woke up, and there was a sound of horseshoes on the street outside."

"We secretly opened the window and looked out, and saw that the street outside was full of people, who were chasing someone, and they were all armed. Oh, by the way, that night should be the beginning of the month, and it was dark. , that is, someone at the gate of the mansion held a lantern or something for us to see."

"There was a commotion in the middle of the night, and then it quickly died down. We fell asleep again without thinking about it. As a result, when it was dawn, someone came in for morning tea. It looked like it was someone from the house."

"Usually, there are quite a few people in the mansion who come to drink tea. After all, our tea here is well-known. They can just keep an account after drinking the tea, and they will settle the account with the stewards of the mansion a few years ago, so they will be familiar with it when they come. Find a private seat."

"At that time, a few people came, and they looked like the kind who hadn't slept all night. After they came in, they went straight upstairs and told us to make a pot of strong tea."

"The few of us were a little curious, thinking that it must be the group of people last night, and we don't know what it is for."

"I wasn't serving at the time, but later we talked to each other in private. Those people complained when they entered the private room, saying that they were tired to death all night, and the people above asked them to keep quiet and quietly." Capture, how can there be such an easy thing, since people dared to sneak into the mansion, they must have made a plan, how can it be so easy to find."

"These people are regular customers, so when we heard them say this, our waiter brother boldly asked: 'Why, there are still little thieves who don't have long eyes and want to steal things from the Governor's Mansion? Killed him!'”

"The few people laughed when they heard this, and one of them said: 'What a blind little thief, he is running... Forget it, he has already escaped!'"

"Another person asked my brother: 'By the way, have you seen any suspicious people here?'"

"While talking, he gestured to the thief's height, but he looked quite short, so my brother said:

'Hey, such a short little thief, could it be that it is convenient for him to drill into a dog hole? '"

"This made those people laugh again, and one of them said:

'It's quite short, but she's a woman, and she didn't enter through a dog's hole, hmph, the second housekeeper also said that we made a mistake, didn't they themselves still not expect it? '"

"My brother was shocked when he heard it:

'Yo, there are even female thieves?What audacity!I've never seen a woman be a thief. '"

"'Who said no?'" The group of people laughed even more when they heard this, but suddenly stopped laughing in unison, and then looked at each other, one of them slammed down the table and said something :

'Damn it, I missed it!No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for most of the night! '"

"At the same time, I got up and took a picture of my brother to say thank you. After that, a group of people quickly drank tea and went downstairs. Even the breakfast was packed and taken away. Afterwards, the few of us thought about it. It’s no surprise, could it be that someone disguised himself as a woman and sneaked into the Governor’s Mansion to steal things? But this is really clever, how could ordinary people think that a woman is a thief?”

After saying this, the guy was still shaking his head and sighing in recollection. Zhou Heng and Chunying looked at each other, and they both understood:

It should be that an assassin disguised as a woman sneaked into the governor's mansion, intending to assassinate the governor.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have quietly sent people to arrest them in the middle of the night, and they would have kept quiet afterwards, but stepped up their guard. Pedestrians were strictly prohibited from passing outside the gate of the mansion, and the entire street was blocked in a disguised form, causing shops on both sides of the street to panic The business dropped sharply and complaints abounded, so they complained to customers like them.

"Don't worry, little brother, I'll come back for tea in two days. I hope you will have more customers and business will be booming by then!" Zhou Heng specially bought some refreshments to take away before leaving, and said quietly:

"Don't worry, the two of us will do what we say, and we will never reveal a word to our parents when we get home!"

After returning to the house and telling the news to the guard who stayed behind, the guard was stunned, and then he said embarrassingly:

"This subordinate doesn't know anything about this matter, so I will report it to the capital when I turn around."

He hesitated and asked them both:

"However... such an important matter, how can that guy... rest assured to tell you two?"

When they asked this question, the two of them couldn't hold back their laughter all the way. Zhou Heng was the first to burst out laughing, bent over and rubbed his stomach, pointed at Chunying and tried to say three words:

"You ask her!"
