15. Chapter 15
Luo Yi sat down next to him, Ben was about to take a sip of the teacup, but after hearing Luo Wen's words, he stopped moving. Her expression remained unchanged, and she only said lightly, "Do you know the shadows? β
Luo Wen nodded with a smile, "It seems that the head of the Luo family also knows, so it is much easier to explain." β
Luo Yi did not speak. She does know what the shadow in Luo Wen's mouth is, the shadow is an extremely secret force cultivated by the Daye royal family, mostly used by the prince of Jinyang, although there are not many people in this force, but each of them is not to be underestimated, unlike the royal family's personal guards, they hide in the shadows, and will not show up unless necessary, which can be said to be one of the last resorts of the Daye royal family.
This was a very confidential matter, even in the middle of the Daye Dynasty, only a few people knew about the "Shadow Evil", but Luo Yi knew it very well, just because she had spent a lot of time investigating this organization.
Because the old man of the Luo family was killed by the shadow in the first place.
"What do you want to say?" Luo Yi gently put down the cup in his hand and glanced at Luo Wendao.
Seeing that Luo Yi didn't seem to look good, Luo Wen hurriedly smiled and said in a low voice: "I can't hide it, I have also heard a little about what happened in the early years of the Luo family. β
Luo Yi didn't react much, only looked down at the pattern on the teacup in her hand, as if she could see some mystery from it, she replied lightly: "Oh? β
Luo Wen didn't know what she was going to do, but since he opened his mouth, he didn't mean to stop, so he continued: "Not long ago, we caught a man in the country, that man was strong in martial arts, but he seemed to have gone crazy, and killed many innocent people in our Jingcheng, and we also took a lot of effort to arrest that person. He chuckled, and then added, "Coincidentally, that man is a shadow demon. β
"How can you tell if that man is a shadow?" Loe waited for his next words.
Luo Wen said: "Because he said it himself, and we also found a waist card representing the shadow from his body, he is indeed a shadow evil." β
"He told our city lord a lot of secrets about the Shadow Shah, and he said that he was also forced by the Daye royal family, so he left the Shadow Shah."
When Luo Yi heard this, she had already guessed the other party's intentions, and she sneered: "The Luo family is loyal to the Daye royal family, and you want to use the Luo family's hand to deal with the shadow evil, but you are too naΓ―ve." β
Luo Wen said in a deep voice: "What we have to deal with is not Daye, but the shadow evil, and kill the shadow evil, isn't it what you have always wanted to do, Lord Luo?" Am I wrong? Luo Wen raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Otherwise, why did the Luo family secretly investigate the shadow for so many years?" β
Luo Yi looked at Luo Wen indifferently, and said after a while: "There are a lot of things that Chengguo has investigated. β
Luo Wen laughed, and in an instant, he regained his previous appearance in the carriage, and he shook his head and said: "I also know that the head of the Luo family still needs some time to think about it, so I will put this matter aside for the time being, when will the head of the Luo family think about it, let's talk again, I came this time, and there is one more thing I want to ask the head of the Luo family." β
"You guys have a lot to do." Luo Yi frowned.
Luo Wen scratched his head and said: "That's the case, I heard that the Luo family master and the Lucheng city lord Xie Rong are close friends, I have something here, I hope the Luo family master can give it to Xie Rong for me." Luo Wen took out a silver hairpin from his arms, the hairpin looked a little old, and it was lying in Luo Wen's hand dimly, and he couldn't see anything special, Luo Wen handed the hairpin to Luo Yi, "My identity is a little special, and now Xie Rong is being stared at by the second prince of your country, it is really not good to meet in person, there is no other way, so I have to ask the head of the Luo family to do it for me." β
This matter is simple, Luo Yi quickly nodded and agreed, and put away the hairpin he handed over.
After Luo Wen finished saying these words, he gave his hand to leave, and said with a smile on his face before leaving: "I live in the Jun'an Inn in Qiancheng, and if the head of the Luo family thinks about what we said before, he can come to me at any time." β
Luo Yi didn't answer him, he knew that Luo Yi must have listened to it in his heart, so he just smiled faintly, and then turned to leave.
And it wasn't until he left that Luo Yi finally picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said in a low voice: "You all heard clearly." β
As she spoke, two people came in silently from outside the window of the room. The people who came were Nantang and Beiyan, they were originally sent by Luo Yi to settle Ning Zhao, but they appeared here again for some reason at this time, and they also heard Luo Wen's words clearly.
Nantang smiled bitterly and said: "The people of Jingcheng are also bold, and this kind of thing is even said directly." β
Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and said: "Because he knows that he told the Luo family about this, even if the Luo family will not help him, it will not hinder him." β
The Luo family did have a lot of trouble with the shadow, and it was precisely because the people of Jingcheng seized this point that they thought of coming to Luo Yi.
Beiyan also said: "Then what are we going to do next?" Master, do you really want to help them? β
"Help, why not?" Luo Yi took out the previous hairpin and shook it casually in his hand, "I also want to help him send the hairpin to Xie Rong, if you say that it is difficult to chase the horse, I will not break my word." β
"That ......"
Luo Yi interrupted Nantang and Beiyan's words and said, "Beiyan." β
Beiyan responded, and Luo Yi's voice was cold: "You heard Fang Cai's words clearly, right?" β
"Yes."
"That's good, you go to the capital and tell Prince Jinyang what Luo Wen saidβjust don't mention the Luo family and the Shadow Clan." Luo Yi laughed, thought for a while and said, "By the way, that Luo Wen is now living in the Jun'an Inn in Qiancheng, you told the Prince of Jinyang that you should arrest people as soon as possible, don't blame me for not reminding him when people run away." β
Beiyan and Nantang were stunned when they heard this.
Luo Yi didn't seem to see the reaction of the two of them, and said: "Prince Jinyang knows about this matter, and he will definitely find a way to solve it himself, and the rest has nothing to do with the Luo family." β
Beiyan hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes." β
Nantang twisted his eyebrows, and asked after a while: "Did the master really think clearly?" β
"There's something I can't think of." Luo Yi looked back and said, "Whether it's my father's matter or the shadow of the shadow, I'm still investigating, and I don't rush to find the shadow to take revenge, but they want to borrow the power of the Luo family, don't even think about it." β
Luo Yi's expression was cold, and she said this clearly, and she also knew in her heart that not long ago, she was still investigating the truth of the Luo family's rebellion, and Ying Sha was just a killing tool, what she was really looking for was the initiator of YiqiΔ.
Nantang and Beiyan stared at Luo Yi for a while, but finally did not disobey her, Luo Yi was slightly relieved, and his voice softened slightly: "I know that you have followed my father for more than 20 years, are loyal to him, and want to avenge him, but now is not the time." β
The two were still silent, Nantang smiled helplessly, Beiyan hesitated, but nodded slightly.
Luo Yi cleared up the matter, and then said: "Nantang, you also send someone to Lucheng for me, let Xie Rong come to Luo's house, I have something to give him." β
Nantang nodded in agreement, and the two of them both exited the room.
Luo Yi watched them go out all the time, and then his eyes fell back to the hairpin in his hand, and there was an extremely dark black mark on the hairpin, which was the trace left after testing the poison with the silver hairpin......
After that day, Luo Yi began to get busy, she left for a long time, and after she came back, there were many things piled up waiting for her to deal with one by one, and because of this, Nantang entangled her for a moment without a moment, and when she dealt with things almost, it was three days later.
"The matter of the Yan family has also been clarified, the previous batch of fake wine was not faked by them, but the things were poisoned by ginseng on the way to be transported, and some hands and feet were moved, so there is this matter." Nantang sent the last letter to Luo Yi's hand, and Luo Yi looked at it before saying, "The person who should be punished has been punished, and the Yan family will send someone to send some gifts to accompany them." β
Nantang agreed, Luo Yi was speechless, but stopped Nantang again: "Go to Luo's house to buy some wine, buy more, ask them what kind of wine they use to entertain guests at the banquet, and buy that." β
Nantang was stunned, not understanding what Luo Yi was doing.
Luo Yi urged: "You just go." β
Nantang nodded in response, and finally walked out of the door of the study.
After Nantang left, Luo Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from his seat. She has developed an active temperament over the years, and she is not used to being in the room like this, and she has been sitting stiff for the past few days, and she has long been impatient.
And the first place she has to go to is the Luo family's academy.
When she returned to Luo's house before, Luo Yi told Ye Xiangshen that she would go to the academy to see him the next day, but now that three days have passed, she has no time to go now, and I don't know if Ye Xiangshen will remember this matter. However, according to what Luo Yi knew about him, even if the man really remembered it, he would not say it, and if he hadn't been drunk, I'm afraid no one would know what he was thinking.
When Luo Yi thought like this, people had already arrived outside the academy, and the sound of children reading came from the other end, and now it was afternoon, Luo Yi entered the academy, and saw the children in the room concentrating on studying from the window, as well as Ye Xiangshen, who was standing in front of the crowd and looking down at everyone.
It seems that after Ye Xiangshen came back, he really followed Ye Fuzi and began to teach the students. Luo saw that he was flawless, so he found a place to sit in the courtyard, planning to wait for everyone to disperse before going to find Ye Xiangshen.
But as soon as she sat down, the other old master Ye came in from outside with a bunch of medicines, and when the old master Ye saw Luo Yi, when he laughed, he handed the medicine to the little scholar who greeted him, and after giving an order, he came to Luo Yi on crutches, sat down and said, "Come and see Ah Shuo?" β
Luo Yi nodded unabashedly, and then asked, "Master, is he sick?" But I need someone to take a look......"
"It's not me, it's Ah Shuo." Ye Fuzi shook his head, mentioning that there was a little worry between his eyebrows, he looked towards the school, the children in the room were no longer studying, but instead copied something on the paper, Ye Xiangshen went to their side one by one to guide, and when he walked through the window, he raised his eyes slightly, and saw Luo Yi outside. Across the swaying willows of the academy, blooming with the warm spring sun, Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and chuckled at the people in the window, Ye Xiangshen seemed to hook the corners of his lips shallowly, but he didn't laugh, and after a while, he lowered his eyes and wrote with the children around him.
Luo Yi retracted her gaze, and then she realized what Ye Fuzi said, and she hurriedly said, "Ye Xiang is sick?" β
Seeing his reaction, Ye Fuzi couldn't help but smile again, but shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, he came back that day and had a cold the next day, which was nothing, but he refused to rest well, he sat outside the house alone and read what the students wrote, and saw that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and as a result, he became even more sick." β
Luo Yi was slightly stunned.
Ye Xiangshen was sick and refused to rest well, and sat outside the house until the middle of the night, Luo Yi knew that he had always been a person who lived more carefully than anyone else, if he couldn't do this kind of thing on weekdays, but that day-
Luo Yi's heart sank slightly, and suddenly thought of what she said on the day they came back, was it because she said that she would go to him the next day, so he waited until midnight?
Suddenly, Luo Yi regretted that she wanted to eat all the letters and account books she had read in the past few days, and she said, "Master, where are those medicines? β
"I just gave you a little wine, what's wrong?" The Master said.
Luo Yi said with sincerity on his face: "I'll help him decoct the medicine." β
The master smiled and said, "Go, go, go." β
Luo Yi hurriedly got up to find the scholar's wine, and after taking the medicine, she tossed in the kitchen, but although she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was not inferior to others in archery and horse riding, it was the first time she really entered the kitchen. But she hadn't done any of these things, but she had seen a lot, and although it took some time to do it, she didn't make any jokes. Put the medicine into the medicine jar, Luo Yi stared at the jar and waited, she didn't know how long the medicine had to be fried to be good, so she opened it every once in a while, afraid that the medicine would be decoctioned.
I don't know if it was the first time I opened the lid, Ye Xiangshen walked in.
As soon as he saw Ye Xiangshen, Luo Yi frowned and said, "What are you doing here?" β
Ye Xiangshen glanced at the medicine jar in front of Luo Yi, and said in a low voice: "Today's class is over, the children have gone back, I heard grandpa say that you are here, so come and have a look." He already had a problem with his throat, and now he was cold and hot, and his voice was even more thin like a mosquito, Luo Yi was worried when he heard it, and said busily, "I mean, aren't you sick, why don't you go to rest and walk around?" β
Ye Xiangshen's face was as white as paper, and his steps were vain, but he didn't know where the confidence came from, and he shook his head and said, "It's much better now." β
"It's much better, you can go out and wait for me!" Luo Yi pushed the person out again, but although she made an impatient tone, her movements were extremely light, and Ye Xiangshen also had no strength in her illness, so she really pushed Luo Yi out. He looked at Luo Yi's busy figure in the kitchen with a little smile, and finally turned back to the courtyard and sat down.
Soon after, Luo Yi came out of it with a bowl of medicine, she handed the medicine to Ye Xiangshen, Ye Xiangshen said thank you and went to pick up the bowl, but Luo Yi stopped him and said, "It's too hot, wait and drink it." β
Luo Yi said and began to blow the medicine in the bowl for him, Ye Xiangshen said: "I'll do it myself." β
Ye Xiangshen snatched the bowl by himself, Luo Yi didn't grab it, so she held her hands and looked at him on the side, she felt that Ye Xiangshen had a particularly bewildering face, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see enough, but now her face was too pale. Luo Yi said: "You are still teaching when you are sick, and you are not the only gentleman in this academy." β
"It's not a big deal, you still have to do what you have to do." Ye Xiangshen was very calm.
Luo Yi wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "You used to be like this in the troupe?" β
Ye Xiangshen hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Luo Yi said: "That was before, you are now in the Luo family, you have to rest when you should rest, I don't allow my people to make any mistakes." β
At this time, the medicine was already a lot colder, Ye Xiangshen had just finished drinking the medicine, and when he heard the word "my person", he couldn't help but cover his lips and cough lightly.
Luo Yi didn't feel anything wrong at all, but continued: "Three days later, there will be a lantern festival in Qiancheng, would you like to go with me to see it?" β
The lanterns of Qiancheng are famous far and wide, there will always be a grand lantern festival at this time of year, the whole Qiancheng is very lively, there are lovers who have met to put a river lantern, and made a vow to abide by each other, Luo Yi's intention to ask this is very obvious, but Ye Xiangshen shook his head lightly and said: "I am sick now, I am afraid that it will blow Miss Luo's interest." β
I just said that I was almost fine, but now I am seriously ill again. Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at him, and said seriously: "So I decided." β
Ye Xiangshen raised his eyes to look at Luo Yi.
Luo Yi said: "In order for us to be able to go to the Lantern Festival in three days, you have to get well quickly within these three days." She supported her chin with both hands, revealing a rare little daughter posture, squinting and smiling: "So I come to take care of you every day." β
Ye Xiangshen: "......"
In order to prevent Ye Xiangshen from objecting, Luo Yi immediately got up and said, "It's getting late, I have something to do, I'll go back first, and I'll come to you again tomorrow." β
After saying this, Luo Yi left in a hurry......
The next day, in order to be able to go to the academy earlier, Luo Yi got up very early and called Nan Yan to the study to deal with the trivial matters of the day. Nan Yan hadn't woken up yet, and was dragged to the study by Luo Yi for a long time before he woke up, he looked at Luo Yi looking at the account books seriously, and couldn't help but say: "Master, what day is it today?" β
"It's a nice day." Luo Yi finished reading another book while talking, she put the account book in her hand to the side, stretched out her hand to Nanyan and said, "Is there anything else, hurry up and show it to me." β
"There's still this left." Nan Yan handed over another letter, the letter was from the capital, the yellow envelope, with a golden word "Jin" in the center, it was a letter sent by the prince of Jinyang.
Luo Yi took the letter, his expression slightly condensed.
