Chapter 46
You get drunk after just two glasses of wine
——
crunch
Zhao Shi seemed to hear the sound of Sanniang's back teeth rubbing together, and then asked Xiang Siniang: "You were stabbed three times in the back and committed suicide?"
Si Niang suddenly retracted her head,
This made Sanniang even more angry. If you have the ability, just speak out! Otherwise, don't speak. Then she looked at Zhao Shi. She gritted her teeth and explained seriously: "Guardian, I know.
This incident is a bit bizarre, but our father was really stabbed three times in the back and then committed suicide."
Zhao Shi shook his head: "I'm either doubting you, or I'm just asking you out of my duty as a shopkeeper and a promoter. It's normal."
"It's very, very normal."
Sanniang kept lowering her head nervously, and then heard Zhao Shi ask: "What is your father's name?"
"Gong... Gongsun Sheng."
"When did you die?"
"Three, three, no, four years ago."
"Are you sure it was suicide?"
"Sure."
Zhao Shi didn't ask anymore. The reason why he had some ideas was because Siniang blurted out the word "gongzhong". In the palace, he happened to hear Zhang Mao saying that something strange had happened recently, and that Gongsun Sheng died three or four years ago.
It probably had nothing to do with the weird things in the palace, and Sanniang was very vigilant, so it would be bad to ask too many questions rashly. Zhao Shi only asked the last question: "So you call me Gongsun Erniang, Gongsun Sanniang, Gongsun Siniang?"
"
"Um!"
Sanniang looked at Zhao Shi carefully, as if she guessed what he was curious about, and took the initiative to explain: "Originally, we were called Auntie, Erniang, and Sanniang, but later I learned that there was a sword dancing lady in the Tang Dynasty named Gongsun Auntie, so,
We’ll start with the second mother.”
Zhao Shi listened quietly, then smiled brightly: "Okay, you can go back, remember to come early tomorrow."
"well."
"Thank you, officer."
The fourth mother also ran out to be blessed, and then the three sisters left. Zhao Shi asked the servant of Kaifeng Mansion to carry a lantern to send it off, and then Yang Chuanqian came over and said, "Do you suspect that they killed his father?"
Zhao Shi trembled,
What a loving father and filial daughter, and then said angrily: "Why haven't you left yet?"
The scar on Yang Chuan's face squirmed, and he said pitifully: "I want to have a meal, and you have commandeered the boy who carried the lantern for me. I can't leave for a while. Besides, are you planning to celebrate your promotion?"
?”
Zhao Shi was stunned,
He had almost forgotten about it, but Li Lingshi suddenly got excited and said, "Celebrate! Why not celebrate?" Then he went to organize a meeting. Zhao Shi had nothing to do for a while, so he walked to one of the tables and sat down to drink.
Tea and Yang Chuan came over: "How is it possible to commit suicide with three stabs in the back?"
"and……"
"Why three swords?"
Zhao Shi looked at him faintly: "Why?" Yang Chuan imitated Zhao Shi and touched his chin, looking far away and said: "Don't forget, they are three sisters."
"and……"
"Is it true that there is no such person as Aunt Gongsun?"
Zhao Shi took a sip of tea and said, "Well, that's a great guess." Then he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen. Along with the remaining braised pork, sweet and sour short ribs, and cold sun vegetables, Zhao Shi made two more side dishes.
, plus the three bottles of wine that Li Lingshi sent to appraise, for a while... the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves.
The second day...
Zhao Shi covered his head and got up,
Although he was still nervous at first, after a glass of wine, he became a little cheerful. After all, no matter what, it was a promotion, and it was worth being happy, but...
"The sequelae are somewhat serious."
Zhao Shi pushed away the three quilts on his body. He didn't know who was so kind. Then he pressed his hungover head and called out: "Is there anyone outside the door? Get me a glass of water."
"yes."
Di Yong pushed the door open and handed Zhao Shi a glass of warm water. Zhao Shi drank the water and asked, "By the way, have you done what I asked you to do yesterday?"
Di Yong was stunned,
Then he remembered what Zhao Shi was asking, and said helplessly: "I did it, but Zhao Pang seemed to have been beaten by someone, so I just kicked him a few times while he wasn't paying attention."
"Been beaten?"
Zhao Shi couldn't help but be curious: "Who was beaten?" Then he waved his hands tiredly and said: "That's it, that's all, since you were beaten, then a few kicks are enough." Then he continued to ask: "Then
Where is Mediator Yelu? Did there be any news from Mediator Yelu last night?"
"have."
Di Yong nodded, this time more solemnly, and then handed a letter to Zhao Shi. While Zhao Shi was opening the letter, he explained: "After you got drunk after two glasses of wine last night..."

Zhao Shi grasped the envelope, then nodded and said: "Continue." Di Yong continued: "After you two glasses of wine, a watchman came and dropped this letter."
"Are you sure it's the watchman?"
Zhao Shi opened the letter and took a look at it, then closed it helplessly, then got up and got dressed. Di Yong nodded beside him and continued to talk, but for some reason, as he talked, his eyes started to light up, especially when he saw Zhao Shi himself.
After putting on the robe, I couldn't bear to turn my head...
Officials...
I really know the sufferings of the people. After all, even if I am at home, I will have a maid to dress me, but as an official... I am clumsy in dressing myself and even put on the wrong clothes several times...
Zhao Shi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Di Yong. After finally putting on his official uniform, he walked out of the yard and looked at Li Lingshi's door: "Are you up?"
"Get up."
Li Lingshi answered behind him, then jumped up and patted his shoulder: "Why do you only need two glasses of wine..." Zhao Shi hurriedly put the letter into her arms: "Help me translate it."
"Um?"
Li Lingshi was a little confused, but after opening the letter and taking a look at it, he was no longer surprised: "My uncle's letter? It's still written in a mixture of Khitan and Tangut script? Are you sure you just asked him to find stone carvings?"
Zhao Shi nodded helplessly, not ruling out the possibility that he had gone astray: "What was written in the letter?"
"He said he found the stone carvings." Li Lingshi recognized them for a few times and continued: "Then it was inconvenient to come back, so he put them all in the ditch in front of Kaifeng Mansion Prison for you to take time to pick them up."
"good."
Zhao Shi waved his fist in rare excitement. Li Lingshi said in surprise: "You don't really just want stone sculptures, do you?"
"yes!"
Zhao Shi replied, but Li Lingshi didn't believe it. He slapped the letter back on Zhao Shi's chest and said, "You don't want to talk about it." Then he was about to enter the house. Zhao Shi suddenly remembered something and took the time to ask: "By the way, what did you say yesterday?"
You said you had an idea tonight, what..."
The words haven’t been finished yet,
"Official, official..."
But Sanniang and Si Niang ran in panting: "You, go and have a look! There are people outside fighting for the table, and they are fighting."
ah?
Zhao Shi was at a loss. He was already prepared to pay for a month or two in Shixianju: "Didn't you tell them that the food here is extremely expensive?"
"I told you!"
Sanniang was surprised, and Fourth Niang pouted in distress: "Then they beat her even harder."
