Artisan pastry shop.
When Yan Jingnian changed into casual clothes and rushed over, the cake embryos in Qin Shuang's hands were already ready.
"Why so late?" Qin Shuang lowered her head to stir the cream in her hand and said in a cold voice.
The two have been friends for many years and met at a pastry chef training class.
Their temperaments are very similar, one is aloof and the other is even more aloof, so it is difficult for them to be as enthusiastic and noisy as ordinary best friends when they meet.
Even the greetings are light, giving people a sense of immediateness that they don’t look very familiar to.
The reason why they like baking is because they can concentrate on the work at hand without communicating or talking during the cake making process.
Yan Jingnian was tying an apron on his body. When he heard Qin Shuang’s question, he answered truthfully, “When he met a Tang bandit, he wanted to treat me to dinner.”
“Tang Bandit” Qin Shuang’s hand The stirring action on the table stopped and he asked, "Tang bandits from Bailu Academy"
"Tang bandits from the Supervisory Yuan."
"Oh." Qin Shuang nodded and said, "Then let's It should be the same person."
She hasn't seen Tang Bandit for a while. They haven't seen each other since Tang Bandit left Bailu Academy.
Yan Jingnian looked at Qin Shuang's thoughtful expression and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see him?"
Qin Shuang rarely mentioned others, let alone a certain man.
However, she mentioned Tang Bandit in front of herself.
Three times, she remembered the number clearly this time.
This is very wrong.
"No, no." Qin Shuang quickly denied and said, "I'm just curious why he suddenly wanted to treat you to dinner."
"It's normal among colleagues. Communicate."
"No." Qin Shuang shook his head and said, "He is not the kind of person who likes to make friends everywhere."
She has tried to compete with him so many times. They were all rejected by him.
If he likes to make friends, he shouldn't reject himself so decisively.
Yan Jingnian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"
"He is looking for you, he must have something to ask you for help."
""
"If it is within the scope of your responsibilities and you can help, you should try your best to help him." Qin Shuang stirred the cream again and said without raising his head, "Here he comes." It’s not easy for someone who is a new star and is unfamiliar with the place in this city.”
“This is the first time you have asked me for help in so many years.” Yan Jingnian looked at Qin Shuang indifferently. Expression, asked "You are friends"
"Not really."
"You like him"
"No." Qin Shuang denied, Said, "We are classmates."
"I understand." Yan Jingnian responded, and then began to complete today's handicraft course.
Qin Shuang glanced at Yan Jingnian out of the corner of her eye, then quickly lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Fengmingxuan.
This is Phoenix's courtyard outside the palace, and it is also a secret place where she handles her private affairs.
Because Fenghuang was quite talented in business, Zhong Daolong entrusted her with part of the royal family's business. Unexpectedly, she managed things in an orderly manner and her performance soared.
This made aunt Zhong Sinian, who had been in charge of the royal business, feel even more pressure. She took the initiative to propose to Zhong Daolong several times that she was willing to hand over all the royal merchant business to Phoenix.
Zhong Daolong refused because Fenghuang was young and inexperienced. He still had to focus on the overall situation and maintain all aspects of relations within the royal family.
"Your Highness." A short, fat middle-aged man bowed to Phoenix. He was wearing a brightly colored silk robe and a melon-skin hat that was popular before the Blue Star Catastrophe. He looked similar to Like a rich man.
"Lao Jin, you have been working hard recently. You said you had something important to report, so you must have found some clues," Fenghuang said while sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and looking at the rich man in front of him.
"Your Highness is wise, I know that nothing can be hidden from you."
"Okay, don't pick up these good things and tell me about them. Tell me, Any new discoveries?"
"Your Highness, I have been investigating this case since you were attacked in the old land." The smile on Jin Dewang's face disappeared and he said seriously, "Based on the information fed back by Your Highness. , Those killers said that they were sent by Sansou Palace, but I paid a lot of money to buy a senior official of Sansou Palace, and they said that they did not receive this business."
"Of course, so. For major cases, I may have contacted the palace owner through a single line. I have also been looking for the whereabouts of the palace owner of Wuyou Palace. Unfortunately, that person is elusive. I have tried many methods, and even pretended to be a big client to meet him. None of them succeeded."
"The east is not bright and the west is bright. When General Bai Qi went to welcome His Highness back, he accidentally encountered the star saucer on which the killer organization escaped."
"Two survivors in the Star Disk were brought back and imprisoned in the Royal Prison guarded by the Palace Guards. Unexpectedly, in such a heavily guarded place, the two killers were killed that night. "Kill and silence."
"I know that those who can take action in such a place must be members of the Imperial Guard. Based on Her Royal Highness's duty list that night, I have identified twelve of them as key suspects. Object."
"In the past two years, we have not dared to slack off at all, and we have never given up on keeping an eye on these twelve people. Our hard work paid off, and we finally found the flaw."
“Among the twelve members of the Guards on duty, there was one named Zhuang Zhongbing. He was the deputy captain of that team. That night, he and Captain Bai Ye were responsible for leading the team to guard the prison. ."
Jin Dewang's fat face showed a smile.With an amiable smile, he looked at Fenghuang and asked, "Your Highness, does he know how we discovered that this person was suspicious?"
"I don't know." Fenghuang shook his head.
She hates being asked questions while listening to stories. It is like being suddenly called by the teacher to answer questions while listening in class.
However, Jin Dewang is her confidant in Dayong, and he is very capable and meticulous. It is really hard to investigate this case, and she is willing to cooperate.
"The problem lies with his brother-in-law." Jin Dewang said with a smile. "Zhuang Zhongbing's uncle Wang Yongzi got married last month. Not only did he buy a new house, he also bought an expensive Tai Chi car. The wedding banquet was also very luxurious. We checked Wang Yong's income and found that he could not support it at all. "Wang Yong's parents have already retired. It is impossible to have that much money relying on his personal salary and his parents' pension. So, we bribed Wang." The best friend of Yong's newlywed wife asked her to trick Wang Yong. Wang Yong drank too much and spilled the beans, saying that when he got married, his sister Wang Jing gave him a large sum of money."
"Wang Jing As a full-time wife, she has no income, so the money was naturally provided by her husband Zhuang Zhongbing. We also knew the salary and income of Zhuang Zhongbing, and we discovered the problem. ”
"Zhuang Zhongbing has collected money, either for this matter or for other matters." Jin Dewang's small eyes flashed with wisdom and he said in a deep voice, "I personally doubt that he did that." The money was collected from the murder case."
Fenghuang looked at Jin Dewang slightly and asked, "Have the suspects been brought under control?"
Although Fenghuang has never mentioned the past. It was a local case, but she had been holding back a burst of anger in her heart.
She followed her classmates to explore the old land with great interest, but she didn’t expect to be betrayed and attacked
This was the first time in her life that she traveled far away, but she didn’t expect to end up like this. a result.
I almost lost my life there.
Fortunately, she met Tang Bandit there and gained the most sincere love in her life.
And all the treasures in the big tomb they wanted to explore fell into the pockets of Tang bandits.
According to him, the Netherworld Scroll he is currently practicing is the sword manual found in that tomb.
Fenghuang felt that she was both unfortunate and lucky.
"Wang Yong and his sister Wang Jing have been controlled by us, and Zhuang Zhongbing is also under our surveillance. But because of his special status, we dare not act rashly and need His Highness's authorization. Okay."
"Bring him to me at any cost." Phoenix said.
"Yes, I will let someone do it right now." Jin Dewang said aloud.
“Remember, this matter must be kept secret.”
“If it’s from the Imperial Guard”
“I will take care of it.”Phoenix said aloud.
After Zhuang Zhongbing got off work, he put on his casual clothes and prepared to drive home.
"Lao Zhuang, go have a drink," captain Bai Ye shouted.
"No." Zhuang Zhongbing refused and said, "My wife is still waiting at home. She asked me to bring her some red strawberries when I get back from work."
"This kind of thing still needs to be done. Go and click on the hand dryer yourself, and the strawberries will be delivered to your home."
"The ones bought by robots are not as sweet as the ones I picked myself." Zhuang Zhongbing said with a smile, "My wife is pregnant with me, the banker. Now you have to listen to whatever she says."
"You are just a wife slave," Bai Ye said jokingly, "When the child comes out, you will become a daughter slave again. ."
"I do, just be envious." Zhuang Zhongbing said with a smile.
Although Bai Ye is a few years older than him, he is a "prodigal" in love.
I have never been willing to get married, or even find a regular girlfriend.
Zhuang Zhongbing first went to the fruit shop to choose a few fruits, and then bought the lime milk tea that his wife Wang Jing liked to drink, and then drove home.
He opened the door with a fingerprint lock and shouted, "Honey, I'm back."
Then, his eyes narrowed and he stared at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. The fat man asked, "Who are you?"
"Captain Zhuang, I finally got you back." Jin Dewang stood up and looked at Soldier Zhuang Zhong who looked wary and wanted to touch the weapon on his waist. Said, "Captain Zhuang, I advise you to calm down. If you have anything to say, please speak up."
"You broke into my home and asked me to calm down. Do you know who I am? Do you know what you did? "Consequences"
"Captain Zhuang Zhongbing of the Imperial Guard, who doesn't know who doesn't know who?" Jin Dewang said with a smile, "We don't dare to provoke the Imperial Guard, but who made you happen to be the one we were looking for?" "Where are the people?"
Seeing that they could not scare away these desperadoes even after reporting their identities, it proved that they were well prepared and did not care about the subsequent consequences.
This is troublesome.
Who on earth dares to go against the Phoenix Palace?
“Where is my wife? What have you done to her?”
“Don’t worry. Your wife is fine. "The child in your wife's belly is fine." Jin Dewang looked at Zhuang Zhongbing curiously and asked, "Is that child yours?"
""
" Hahaha, don't get me wrong. I just want to know the situation. Of course I believe it is you." Jin Dewang noticed that Zhuang Zhongbing's expression was wrong and said, "Your wife asked us to invite you to a place."
"Where to go?"
"Captain Zhuang, this question is very presumptuous." Jin Dewang pretended to be unhappy and said, "Do you think you still have a choice?"
“”
“Let’s go, I’ll take your family to a reunion.”
“”
Zhuang Zhongbing had veins on his forehead and wanted to draw his gun and fight these people.
Unfortunately, the wife and children fell into their hands.
He does not dare to take risks and cannot take risks.
Pop
A needle was inserted into his chest, and his vision went dark, and he fell forward.
When Zhuang Zhongbing woke up again, he was already in a strange basement.
He opened his eyes and looked at the fat man in front of him who smiled like Maitreya Buddha, and asked aloud, "Where is my wife?"
Jin Dewang clapped his hands, the basement room The door opened outwards, and a woman with a swollen face and a bulging belly was pushed in.
This is Zhuang Zhongbing’s wife Wang Jing
“Wife” Zhuang Zhongbing saw his wife and wanted to get up and rush towards her.
Unfortunately, his body could not move at all.
Just the act of getting up cost him all his energy.
His arms were sore and weak, and his whole body felt like noodles scalded with boiling water.
Zhuang Zhongbing knew that he was poisoned, or it was some kind of potion that could extract the essence of the human body.
Modern science and technology is changing with each passing day, and all kinds of genetic medicines can be purchased.
"Husband" Wang Jing burst into tears when he saw her husband, and shouted miserably, "Husband, what happened? Why did they arrest us?"
"I don't know, We don’t know yet.” Zhuang Zhongbing looked up at his wife, tried his best to put on a smile, and said comfortingly, “Wife, don’t worry, it’s okay. You’ll be fine. Take good care of yourself and the baby in your belly. Trust me. , nothing will happen to you."
"I believe you, nothing will happen to you." Wang Jing nodded repeatedly and told them, "Husband, you must cooperate with them and give them whatever they want for the sake of the child. Husband, for the sake of the child."
"I know." Zhuang Zhongbing nodded solemnly and said, "I know."
Jin Dewang waved his hand, and two men in black looked at him sadly. The screaming woman was dragged away.
"Don't hurt my child" Zhuang Zhongbing lay on the ground and roared angrily.
Unfortunately, even the roar has little strength.
Jin Dewang squatted down, looked at Zhuang Zhongbing and said, "We will not take the initiative to harm your children. The only one who can hurt them is you."
"You also listen to your wife's words Here you go, please cooperate with us. She is a smart person, and I hope you are too."
"What do you want to do? I don't know what I can do for you."
" First, we will not arrest people for no reason. Now that we have found you, you already know what is going on, right?"
""
" Secondly, I am a decent person and I don’t want to engage in things like torture to extract confessions, which are bloody and unsightly. So, whatever I ask, you answer immediately.”
"Third, don't hide it. Don't hide it. You also know that fat people are a little impatient. So, if you can't give me the results I want, then your wife and children will not be saved."< /p>
"Do you understand what I said?"
"I understand."
"Very good." Jin Dewang nodded with satisfaction, condescendingly Looking at Zhuang Zhongbing, he said, "I only have one question about the murder of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Who instructed you to kill those two people and silence them?"
"" Zhuang Zhongbing's face was gloomy and he remained silent. .
Jin Dewang turned around and said to the subordinate next to him, "Go and punch his wife in the stomach."
After a pause, he said to Zhuang Zhongbing, "Ask for the second time, you If you don’t answer, I’ll give you a kick.”
“If you don’t answer the third time, I’ll stab you.”
“Let me see if it’s your mouth that’s tough. My wife’s stomach is hard.”
Zhuang Zhongbing panicked, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.
Seeing the man in black follow the order and leave, he shouted urgently, "I said let him come back, I said"
