Chapter 428: Lord Li likes needlework?!
Flower Street Words
I want to see Miss Liu, but...
I'm doomed. I offended her before and never dared to meet her. This time, people will definitely know that I went to the red-light district. If I don't go to meet her, will she be even angrier?
It would be nice if Yao Mo was here now, and asked her what to do.
Not only Lian Qiao fell into silence and melancholy while looking at the case file, in fact, Di Hui, who was right next to Lian Qiao and had now been promoted to the position of Dali Temple Secretary, also fell silent.
But what worried Lian Qiao was that this incident happened in Hua Street, and he hadn't been there for almost seven or eight days. Well, to be precise, he hadn't been to Shihua Pavilion to look for Liu Baishi for seven or eight days.
But what worries Di Hui is
This happened on Flower Street.
The case was not a big one. After all, there were no major cases in the capital. If the missing person was not the son of the Qianwang Earl's family, this matter would not have been brought to the Dali Temple and could have been handled by the Jingzhao Prefecture.
After all, Marquis Qianwang was a minister with great military achievements, and the Dali Temple could not ignore his family affairs. What's more, it was clearly written on the case file that Marquis Qianwang personally consulted with the Minister of the Dali Temple and Jingzhao Prefecture and decided that the Dali Temple should handle the matter.
But it is biased.
This young man got lost in the red-light district of Beijing. The man behind this was none other than Prime Minister Li.
If this really involves Prime Minister Li.
It's even more difficult to deal with.
Di Hui even suspected that it was for this reason that those people in Jingzhao Prefecture pushed the case to the Dali Temple.
It just so happened that the Dali Temple had a man named Lian Qiao who had a strong backing.
That's why he was given this case.
If it were anyone else, any case involving a great noble in the capital would be a hot potato.
And there are doubts in this case.
Your son was lost in Hua Street. Wouldn't it be faster to find Li Xiangye? In the end, he didn't look for him and came to report to the police.
Di Hui looked at Lian Qiao, who had a worried look on his face, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "How about Master try to help you negotiate, and then change to another case? All the cases I've taken on recently are not that big, so it would be easier to solve them if I change to another one."
Lian Qiao shook her head: "No need, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I want to see each other. And..."
Lian Qiao looked at Di Hui and said, "It doesn't matter how big or small the case is. If a chicken is lost, the owner will be sad for a long time, let alone a person is lost. These words were taught to me by you, Master."
Di Hui was stunned for a moment, and looked at his stupid apprentice with great satisfaction. But thinking of what the previous apprentice said, he thought his apprentice was talking about Lord Li, so he lowered his head and looked at Lian Qiao: "Are you in contact with that person?"
Lian Qiao looked up at her master, her face full of surprise. Didn't her master know about her and Liu Baishi's affair? Why was he still like this?
But since the master asked, Lian Qiao still said: "I have always had it, but I made her angry before, so I don't dare to see her."
Di Hui swallowed his saliva, took a few mint leaves from the small bag he carried with him and put them in his mouth, then looked at Lian Qiao.
Wow, this disciple is so powerful that he can even make Prime Minister Li angry, who rarely gets angry.
But just thinking of this, Di Hui frowned, isn't this bad? I want to go to Huajie to investigate a case, but you just happened to offend Prime Minister Li recently.
Lian Qiao hesitated for a moment: "Master, I made her angry before, should I apologize?"
Upon hearing this, Di Hui immediately said, "Isn't this certain?!"
Lian Qiao thought for a moment, put away the case file, then stood up and looked at his master: "Master, I will go to apologize to her first, and then I will ask about this matter to see if she knows about it."
Hearing this, Di Hui did not think much about it. He took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to Lian Qiao: "Take it and buy some gifts or something. Although you can't buy anything good, it's not appropriate to apologize to someone empty-handed. Especially if you go to find that person. And that person will definitely be able to help. Even if it has nothing to do with him, with that person's help, the young master of the Qianwang family can be easily found."
Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment. What was the master talking about? How could this matter be related to Miss Liu? But after thinking about it, she felt that the master should ask Miss Liu to help ask the other sisters what they thought.
So I didn’t think much about it.
Di Hui glanced at the case file on the table and asked, "Have you memorized everything?"
Lian Qiao was not polite. After taking the silver, she nodded and said, "It's just a few records. I've remembered them all. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the Qianwang Marquis's mansion to ask for clarification. Besides, the incident happened in Huajie. The sisters in Huajie should know about it. Didn't you teach me? The sisters in Huajie have the best eyes and ears. They know everything."
Di Hui looked at Lian Qiao who was full of confidence when he mentioned the case, and felt a little worried. Thinking of the cases that Lian Qiao and he had handled before, Di Hui shook his head and said, "No, I'd better go with you."
Lian Qiao looked depressed. He thought he could finally handle the case on his own, but his master still wanted to follow him.
Seeing Lian Qiao like this, Di Hui scolded, "If you were smart, I would be so worried about you. You little brat, now everyone knows about your relationship with Liu Baishi, and they are waiting for you to make a fool of yourself. Even I, your master, have to be so cautious in everything I do."
The news that the courtesan Liu Baishi was dating a man spread from somewhere.
Anyway, it spread throughout the capital.
Many people were shocked, and suddenly they understood why Liu Baishi did not perform during the Lantern Festival this year, and why Liu Baishi had not appeared in public in recent days.
This person has a lover!
Although everyone understands that although people like Liu Baishi are in the red-light district, they are not actually prostitutes who sell their bodies. They can only be called artistes. They are from an honest family and make a living by performing arts.
but
Liu Baishi is the light in the hearts of so many people.
Which brat got such a good deal!
Unexpectedly, when Liu Baishi was dressed as a man, she was met by people from the Dali Temple by chance.
Among them, someone recognized Liu Baishi, and after taking another look, he was shocked!
Forsythia!
Moreover, Liu Baishi held Lianqiao's arm, but Lianqiao was shy, which made the bachelors in Dali Temple very angry.
Even the Shaoqing of Dali Temple became angry and called Lian Qiao back that night. A group of people surrounded Lian Qiao and "interrogated" him for a long time!
In the end, Lian Qiao spent more than ten taels of silver, which made his colleagues stop saying anything.
Di Hui was heartbroken over the dozen or so taels of silver, but Lian Qiao was there to comfort his master.
Di Hui was so angry that he yelled, "That's my private money that I have kept for many years. You definitely don't feel bad about it!"
And the news also spread.
Many young masters and young ladies from noble families and wealthy men in the capital were all angry. Someone from a certain Duke's mansion even threatened to meet this man named Lian Qiao!
But when I asked around, wow!
This Lian Qiao is actually a seventh-rank swordsman!
Upon further inquiry, it turned out that he was the son of the famous leader of Tianzhi Pavilion.
Many people backed off.
But there are still people who are not afraid of these, saying that they will pay a large sum of money to hire an eighth-rank master to take action, and shouting that they will teach this bastard a lesson!
but.
Someone immediately dug out that this boy had a sister named Lian Wei.
In an instant, all those shouting fell silent.
Lian Wei was the captain of the Chixia Army, which was not a very high military position.
But standing above the Chixia Army was the great commander of Yan.
And this Lian Wei is not an ordinary Chixia soldier, but the personal guard of the Queen.
In the capital, relationships are not determined by who is behind you when you show yourself, but by who is standing next to you.
Behind Lianqiao is the Queen Mother.
You try to clean it up.
Hence, no one dared to say anything and could only curse in private.
But in fact, it is still envy and jealousy that are at work.
But there was a silly and naive boy in the Dali Temple who was favored by Liu Baishi, and even the person behind him was the Queen Mother.
This was naturally noticed by people.
Before leaving the Dali Temple, Di returned to the department in charge of mechanical devices in the Dali Temple and shamelessly and persistently asked for something called the "Magic Cube".
This was a trick invented by the Queen Mother to kill time. It was very interesting. As long as the colors of the square sides were matched, it would be done.
But this has stumped many people.
And there are very few of these things on the market.
Especially the one that Di Hui wanted, which was an eight-sided one. Naturally, it was made by the Queen.
However, this one in the hand was not made by the empress herself, but was made carefully by someone in the Dali Temple who is proficient in this field. It was also painted with some beautiful patterns and is very beautiful.
The reason for taking this was because Di Hui knew that Lord Prime Minister Li loved his daughter Li Xingyue the most, and it was said that Miss Xingyue was very fond of tinkering with these things recently.
To make his daughter happy, Lord Li bought a lot of things.
Lian Qiao was surprised to see that his master wanted this, because he didn't expect that his master also knew that Liu Baishi liked to play with this thing.
But thinking about it, I think I mentioned it myself.
But no matter what.
It’s the right gift to give this one!
Liu Baishi will definitely be happy!
When Lian Qiao took the eight-sided Rubik's Cube from his master, he was very sure about this.
Out of the Dali Temple.
Di Hui took Lian Qiao and planned to buy some tea, because Lord Li liked drinking tea and reading very much.
They can't afford those valuable books and the like.
But if you are determined, you can still buy good tea for a few taels of silver.
But when Di Hui told Lian Qiao to buy some tea for that person.
Lian Qiao frowned and said, "Master, she likes snacks, fried dumplings and the like."
Di Hui was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled. Lord Li didn't seem to be a greedy person, but it turned out that he had this hobby.
But it was just right, as I was familiar with the owner of Baofuzhai, so it was just right for me to get some delicious snacks.
Lian Qiao continued, "Silk is also fine, because she also likes needlework. The handkerchief I used before was made by her, and it also had embroidery on it."
As soon as these words came out, Di Hui looked at Lian Qiao in shock, and his mind recalled the exquisite handkerchief that Lian Qiao was holding that he had seen once before.
He thought that the handkerchief was a gift from Liu Baishi to his apprentice.
So it turned out to be sent by Prime Minister Li?
still
Or was it made by Prime Minister Li himself? !
No reason.
A picture popped up in Di Hui's mind.
The scene of Lord Li, who looks quite elegant but sometimes cold and ruthless, sitting by the stove doing needlework.
Di Hui reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, not knowing what to say.
Lian Qiao didn't know what her master was thinking, so she just continued, "Occasionally she would smile foolishly when she was satisfied with the work. Anyway, let's buy some snacks or... snacks. As for silk, she has a lot of it, and she didn't like what I bought."
Hearing this
Di Hui stood there in a daze.
Silly. Smirk
In his mind, Di recalled the scene where the prime minister of Daxia held the finished needlework in both hands and smiled foolishly with satisfaction.
Just thinking of this picture.
Di Hui held his forehead with one hand.
I felt like I had heard something extraordinary.
