Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 93 Do You Have Something On Your Mind?

That night.

Taixian Building.

Among all the Jiaofang Divisions, although Taixian Building is not the largest entertainment venue in Shangyuan City, it is the highest grade.

Whether it is the service staff or the singing girls and dancers here, they are all dressed in various Xuandao costumes, dressed up as Taoists, and they all look like immortals.

Tonight, in order to thank Xu Zun, Li Yan and other officials, Lord Hou specially ordered the housekeeper to book the most luxurious private room in Taixian Tower.

Not only was there a table of the most expensive and sumptuous banquet, but also specially arranged singing and dancing performances with local customs.

The private room is located on a huge and luxurious viewing platform, where they can enjoy the magnificent performance while tasting fine wine and food.

However, because Lord Hou loves his daughter dearly, he himself did not attend the dinner, but sent a butler to serve the whole process.

Hou Ye was generous, and to express his gratitude, he ordered the housekeeper to give everyone a small gift.

Since Xu Zun contributed a lot, the small gifts he got were naturally better than others.

Inside the exquisite jewelry box was an extremely exquisite red hairpin, with a dark red gemstone inlaid on the head of the hairpin, and seven teardrop-shaped pearls pendant at the end of the hairpin.

Although these seven pearls are not big, they are extremely rare because of their special shape.

It can be seen that this Zhuchai is definitely worth a lot.

"Hahaha... come..." Among the crowd, the happiest person was Li Yan, the governor. He raised his glass first and said, "This time, thanks to our Tangzhou Xu Tixing, come on Jiying, let's respect together You have a cup!
"Congratulations on your promotion and punishment first, and congratulations on solving important cases as soon as you took office. It's really double happiness. Congratulations!"

"Yes, yes, yes, congratulations..." All the officials echoed, and everyone raised their glasses to toast together.

"Hey, this is a shameful job," Xu Zun stood up hastily, and said a classic official language, "This is also the leadership of the adults!"

After speaking, he did it first as a respect, and everyone drank the wine together.

This locally produced fine-brewed liquor is dry, mellow, and has an excellent taste, making Xu Zun addicted to it after just one sip.

"Xu...Xu Tixing..." Before the wine glass was put down, the Taimin County Sheriff suddenly came to Xu Zun, bowed and said, "The last officer would like to respect you, if Xu Tixing hadn't turned the tide and found the daughter of the Hou Mansion Catastrophe is bound to happen to me, Tamin!

"Master Xu has been kind to me for saving my life, please accept my respect!"

As he said that, Tai Min actually wanted to kneel down to Xu Zun.

You know, in terms of rank, Tai Min, who is a sheriff, is higher than Xu Zun.

"I can't, I can't..." Xu Zun hurriedly supported him, "Mr. Tai, if you really thank me, let's have a drink!"

Only then did Tai Min get up, and immediately poured wine for Xu Zun himself, and the two drank it together in one gulp.

"After this lesson, I, Tai Min, really regret it," Tai Min said shamelessly, holding up his wine glass, "In the future, I will definitely reflect on myself, prevent the passing of time, and never dare to hide the truth!"

"That's enough, that's enough," Li Yan said, "Tai County Governor should really reflect on it. Although this incident has passed, you are indeed responsible for negligence. You should do it yourself in the future!"

"Yes, my lord taught me a lesson!" Tai Min bowed his head, still looking nervous.

Xu Zun found that although Tai Min seemed to be sincerely thanking himself, his eyes still had an indecipherable light.

It seems to be jealous, it seems to be afraid, and it seems to have other deep meanings.

I don't know, is this guy's nature like this, or does he have some little secrets that no one knows?
In fact, through the previous conversation with Miss Lu Mingyue, Xu Zun has already shifted his suspicious eyes to Shangyuan County Yamen.

He always felt that there seemed to be something tricky in this county office, as if the 17 serial disappearances of beautiful girls were not just as simple as they ignored the case...

At this time, the singing and dancing under the stage began!

Everyone stopped discussing and began to enjoy the performance while eating and drinking.

The performance of Taixian Tower was indeed beyond Xu Zun's expectations. The magnificent scenery, exquisite skills, beautiful music, and graceful dances all made this grand performance beautiful and intoxicating.

What is even more surprising is that these performances actually have themes, including some epic stories that happened in Shangyuan City in the early days of the Daxuan Dynasty, as well as myths and legends about Xuandao, etc...

The dancers are all graceful in figure and graceful in dance, making the male audience on and off the stage pleasing to the eye and restless.

Xu Zun was also fascinated by watching, thinking in his heart, besides singing and dancing performances, what other special events are there in this Taixian Tower?

Seeing that his mouth was dry, he drank a few more glasses, and he was slightly drunk.

The officialdom is very polite. Although Xu Zun, Li Yan and Taimin met each other, they were only on official occasions, and they didn't speak much in common.

At the wine table, what everyone talked about was limited to the iron coffin case last time, and the missing lady case this time, and there were no other topics.

Today, in addition to Xu Zun, Li Yan and Tai Min, Yuan Xingtai, the captain of the military flag school, is also there.

It's just that Yuan Xingtai is different from ordinary soldiers, he doesn't even drink alcohol, he just substitutes tea for wine.

He came from the barracks, and he couldn't get along with everyone. After eating, he left under the pretext of having a mission.

After the singing and dancing performance ended, Li Yan and Tai Min also left the venue one after another, leaving only Xu Zun on the huge viewing platform.

At this time, the sound of piano and singing came from the scattered seats downstairs. It turned out that it was the turn of the singing girls to appear.

Guests can pay them to come and sing.

Hey?
Unexpectedly, Xu Zun only looked down and saw an acquaintance.

But I saw a blind girl with a pipa in her arms, walking cautiously among the dining tables, saluting to the guests frequently, asking if they would like to listen to her play and sing a song?
This blind girl was exactly the young girl I met at the inn in Dahuai Town, because of her, Xu Zun also taught those domineering soldiers a lesson.

It was her! ?
Xu Zun narrowed his eyes, Shangyuan City is so big, it is fate to see this girl for the second time so soon?still is……

Thinking of this, an idea popped into Xu Zun's mind, he wanted to ask this girl to go upstairs and sing a song for him.

However, before he took any action, there was already a table of guests downstairs calling out the blind girl.

The blind girl was overjoyed when she heard the words, so she sat down in front of the guests at the table and began to play the piano and sing:
"...Life has been sad and sad since ancient times, with many lovesickness and heartbreak. The rain falls on the phoenix tree and pities the leaf cold,
Frost dyes the fragrance of Jin Yingxi flowers.

"In the dream, the desert is covered by yellow sand, and the red sleeves in the boudoir lead the north. How many wanderers are old in the frontier, and deny that the other country is their hometown..."

The song was sung tactfully and melodiously, and the tune of the song was also catchy, with a clear rhythm, which was very pleasant to listen to.

However, the lyrics are somewhat desolate and sad, homesick and homesick...

Xu Zun couldn't figure it out, the wine table was full of laughter and laughter, but why did the guests like to order such sad songs about parting?
Is it already popular, or is it simply because the song is good?
No matter what, the song is really nice, and the lyrics are also resonant, making Xu Zun temporarily forget about his troublesome official duties, and he patted along with the singing...

At the same time, at a dining table in the corner downstairs, there was a discussion between a man and a woman.

These two people are Zhao Yu and Huo Anu, because their identities are not enough, they can only be arranged to sit downstairs.

"Hey, what a coincidence!" Zhao Yu, with a slightly drunk complexion, knocked on a peanut and said to Huo Anu, "Isn't the girl who sang the same blind girl we rescued that day?"

"Well, I saw it a long time ago!" Huo Anu's face was flushed, and he obviously drank a lot, "The singing is good, but I just can't understand it."

"I'm talking about Miss Huo." Zhao Yu took a serious look at Huo Anu and asked, "Why do I feel that you seem to have something on your mind?"

"It's not a matter of concern, but annoyance, anger!" Huo Anu glanced at Xu Zun upstairs, pouted, "I thought he trusted me! But in the end, he still keeps everything from me , not even that thief Liu Dong!"

"Oh...don't say that, you are really overthinking," Zhao Yu poured a glass of wine for Huo Anu, and persuaded, "I think it's not that Mr. Xu doesn't trust you, but because he is afraid that you can't act.

"Huo girl is straightforward by nature. If she knew about the master's plan in advance, maybe, um..."

Seeing Huo Anu touching the iron umbrella, Zhao Yu quickly stopped talking.

"Hmph!" Huo Anu picked up the wine glass, drank it boldly, and then said, "I understand the truth, but I am different from you, I have been dumped once, and I don't want to have a second time. "

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Zhao Yu smiled slightly, "Master Xu at least won't arrange for someone to kick you into the river and then strip you naked just to search your body, right?"

"You... heh..."

Finally, Huo Anu was amused by Zhao Yu's self-mockery.

This Zhao Yu is not a fool, he naturally knows why he was kicked into the river in the first place?
"No way," Zhao Yu said casually, "You have to understand my lord, there are so many traitors in Xinye County, there is no harm in being more cautious, my lord! Right?"

"Okay!" Huo Anu let go of the iron umbrella, poured himself a glass of wine, raised it to Zhao Yu and said, "Captain Zhao, I was wrong that time, I offended you!"

"Where, where, hehe..." Zhao Yu quickly raised his wine glass, and the two toasted together.

After drinking, the gap between the two gradually disappeared, so they talked about some sensitive topics, including Liu Dong's "wife" - Ku Niang.

Zhao Yu was really puzzled by this bitter mother, why did Xu Zun agree with Liu Dong to bring his wife and children?
Liu Dong is just a servant, but he can take care of his family, which is really counterintuitive.The point is, Ku Niang is still different from normal people, unable to communicate and communicate.

Huo Anu said that she felt the same as Zhao Yu, and also felt that Liu Dong and his family were quite burdensome. I don't know if they will be properly arranged in the future?
Speaking of the future, the two inevitably talked about the case again.

As soon as they talked about the case, the two immediately found that their views were unprecedentedly consistent, that is, the disappearance of the daughter of the Hou family was just a warm-up for Xu Zun.

The really powerful case is yet to come...
