Chapter 50: The Message
Lu Li and Zhao Shu chatted for a long time this night, basically opening their own brains, but the atmosphere of the chat was strangely harmonious.
After the atmosphere was better, Lu Li naturally proposed to change his clothes because he was sweating, and asked Zhao Shu to avoid it. Zhao Zhu also turned around very gentlemanly, and let the 'shy' Lu Li change his clothes on the bed.
Lu Li's original intention was actually to invite Zhao Shu back to his room, but Zhao Shu's intention to take care of it was quite obvious, so he had to bear it, and quickly lifted the quilt to change clothes.
Zhao Shu's ears are quite good, and the sound of rustling behind him has not missed at all, where Lu Li's clothes have changed, and what actions are being carried out now, he can imagine it.
The quilt suddenly became a little hot, and he simply opened a corner to breathe.
Somehow, it was clear that the topic was going well just now, but he had a faint illusion: Lu Li's feelings for him didn't seem to be what he thought.
But an illusion is an illusion, and when he looked back at Lu Li's eyes, he still thought that Lu Li liked him.
After that, the two continued to chat, the pillows were very close, and because of the hazy moonlight, the angles were different, and they always felt that each other's faces were much more handsome than usual......
Early the next morning, Shen Wansha ran over, he was really worried about Lu Li's body, and he woke up early in the morning.
He rarely knocked on the door when he came to Lu Li's room, and this time he was anxious and pushed the door in directly, "Xiao Lizi, are you okay-"
Facing a pair of murderous eyes, he immediately fell silent and shrunk his body.
Lu Li slept more soundly, he didn't wake anyone up with such a loud voice, and the owner of the murderous eyes was sleeping with Lu Li's head against his head, and the atmosphere was very charming and warm......
Shen Wansha felt as if he had interrupted something.
Especially Zhao Zhu's gaze swept over.
But Shen Wansha didn't leave, he stood under tremendous pressure, stretched his neck to look at Lu Li-
Until Zhao Shu spoke, "He's fine." β
Zhao Zhu's voice was very low, but it was enough for Shen Wansha to hear it, Shen Wansha was immediately happy, turned around and left, closed the door very intimately, and whispered outside the door, "I'll prepare breakfast!" β
β¦β¦
Lu Li is really fine, he is full of energy after waking up, and the little wind chill was eliminated as soon as there were signs, and he was in a very good mood. After having breakfast with Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha, he went to resign from Tonghuang County.
He is not a public official, and helping to solve the case is just an interest, and he has made a great contribution, Huang County has no power to keep him, and there is no reason why there is no need to keep him, just said that when he is busy with this case, he will = will also return to the county, and if Lu Li is still in Shanyang, he will definitely do the east to invite Yunyun.
Lu Li politely said goodbye to him, and ran to Shanyang County with Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha.
He wants to find a person named Hou Xing in a place called Dashanpu.
The name of the place is easy to inquire, and when I ask when I enter Shanyang, people will show me the way.
The carriage did not stop and ran directly to Dashanpu.
Dashanpu is a village very close to the city center, and it is very lively during the market. Shen Wansha accompanied Lu Li to inquire and browsed the market to buy things, and he was also very happy.
Soon inquired, Hou Xing was the shopkeeper of a jewelry shop here, and the three of them looked for it and asked the guy, unfortunately, the shopkeeper went out of the city.
"When will he be back?" Lu Li's voice was a little eager. His personality is actually relatively quiet and steady, but whenever it comes to critical moments, he is always a little unable to hold his breath.
The guy scratched his head, "I said that I was going to talk about a big business, and I might not be able to come back in ten days and half a month, it depends on the progress over there." β
Lu Li's eyebrows were twisted into pimples.
Shen Wansha knew that this matter was very important to Lu Li, and when he looked into the shop, his eyes rolled and he asked the guy, "When did your shopkeeper leave?" Does anyone know which way to go? β
"I only left early this morning, because I had to collect the accounts by the way, and now I must be on the official road."
"That's it!" Shen Wansha turned his head and winked at Lu Li to signal that he was relieved, and put his arm on the young man's shoulder, "Young master, here, there is a big business, I guarantee that you have never seen it......"
After he finished speaking, the young man's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, "What the young master said is true?" β
Shen Wansha squinted his eyes, "Can the young master still blind you?" It's up to you to decide what to do. β
The man's footsteps were a little drifting, "You wait, I'll go and chase the shopkeeper back immediately!" β
But at tea time, the scene took a sharp turn.
Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha in surprise, "Young Master is amazing!" β
Shen Wansha crossed his waist and smiled, "That's, don't look at who the young master is!" β
When the young man left, Shen Wansha took Lu Li and continued to go out, "When he chases people back, it will take a day or two, just fine, let's have fun here." β
Lu Li nodded, "Approaching the New Year's Festival, Shanyang is afraid that he won't be able to stay for too long, so it is better to take this opportunity to buy some gifts for Aunt Cao Xiaomeng." β
Shen Wansha likes to buy things the most, and this mention yì is simply amazing, "Okay, good!" The two of them chatted and went away.
Zhao Zhu didn't like to go to the market and crowd people, so he waited for them in the teahouse by the window on the second floor of the street.
After drinking a cup of tea, Xing Zuo sent something.
It's a dossier.
Zhao Shu took it and took a closer look.
In the past, he didn't care about Lu Li's male wife, and even hoped that Lu Li would disappear by himself, and he didn't spend half of his thoughts, of course, part of the reason was that he was confident in his status. He, the king of Ping, has been known to the world since he was born, he was named the son of the world at the full moon, he began to polish his muscles and bones at the age of four, and he was thrown into the military camp at the age of seven or eight.
He thought that his ability, status, and power would definitely protect his fiancΓ©e, and he was once unhappy because of this, but he didn't expect that this time he met Lu Li by chance, and he was interested in checking it, and the Liu family dared to treat him so slowly.
If there is no reason, he does not believe.
He asked Xing Zuo to send a message to inform Jingli's subordinates to find out the inside story.
After reading this dossier, he clenched his hands into fists and tried his best to hold back, so as not to smash the teahouse.
His good stepmother, good brother......
Xing Zuo is trying to reduce the sense of storage on the side, and the prince is getting more and more terrifying! Hong You is right, it was the princess who was a little smiling when the princess was there! Ask the princess to come back and save her life...... He didn't want to be destroyed......
Maybe the heavens heard his heart, when Lu Li and Shen Wansha were strolling, they suddenly turned their heads to look in the direction of the teahouse, and raised a string of big red bat patterns in their hands and trembled, as if asking Zhao Zhu if he liked it.
Xing Zuoxin said that the princess is so sweet, so far away, the prince just sees it and nods, you can't see it!
Quietly looking at the prince's face softened slightly, and the corners of his lips even rose involuntarily, Xing Zuo understood, sure enough, she was still the most powerful princess!
He hurriedly took this opportunity to announce, "The deputy commander Yuanlian is coming, and he will arrive in Guan County in about half a month." β
Zhao Shu waved his hand, which means: This king knows, you kneel down.
Xing Zuoma slipped away, as for the matter of examining history that he didn't have a chance to mention...... Let's talk about it later, there is still more time anyway......
On this day, Lu Li and Shen Wansha walked around the mountain, and the next day they went to Shanyang City to play, and on the third day, they played almost the same.
As soon as Hou Xing came back, he ran to the address of Shen Wanshaliu's inn, "I heard that the young master has something to talk about......
"Business is not in a hurry in advance, I am here, and the business can't run," Shen Wansha pushed Hou Xing in front of Lu Li, "Now let's talk to my brother first." β
Hou Xing was confused, until Lu Li asked for the name Miao Fang, he was stunned, and sighed faintly, "It's been ten years, I thought there wouldn't be a ...... to ask."
Lu Li's face was slightly excited, "Miao Fang is my mother's subordinate, I know that he gave you a tip and a letter ten years ago...... My parents left suddenly, leaving not a word, I was young at the time, I don't remember much, and I have always regretted this incident. I know the haste of this visit, but I really hope you don't mind and tell me something about Miaofang. β
Hou Xing lowered his head and thought for a moment before he slowly spoke, "I didn't know that your parents died early...... In fact, I don't know much about Miao Fang, so I'll just tell you what I know. β
He took two sips of tea, straightened out his thoughts, and then said, "I don't know Miao Fang too well, and I met him at sea sixteen years ago when I was on business. At that time, my merchant ship was in distress, and he saved my life, and he saved not only my life, but also my boatloads of treasure, and I wanted to give a gift of thanks, but he did not take a penny. The sea journey was long, we began to chat, I don't want to be very deed, I mentioned the thank you gift, he still shook his head, seeing that my enthusiasm could not resist, so he said that if he was in danger in the future, he would ask me to save me, maybe it would bring me life worries. I said, "If he hadn't saved me, I would have lost my life today, and if he had any orders in the future, he would have come to me." β
"We were together for only ten days, and we haven't seen each other since. Ten years ago I received a letter and a bag with whom I had written and I was very familiar with his handwriting. The letter said that he might be in danger, and gave me the bag, telling me not to open it, and if anyone finds it within two years, I will hand it over to save my life, and if no one finds it, let me burn it. And if seven or eight years or more have passed, someone will come to me and let me tell the person who came to tell me about it in detail, but only the first person who came to find it. β
Hou Xing's gaze was serene, "Now that you are here, the person Brother Miao said is probably you." β
Lu Li's eyebrows tightened slightly, "You burned the bag?" β
"Businessmen value honesty the most, and I promised Brother Miao that I will abide by it. If you don't believe me, I swear to heaven that I have indeed burned the bag. β
"The shopkeeper doesn't have to be like this," Lu Li sighed, "It's not that I don't believe it, but I have some regrets...... In this way, the shopkeeper doesn't know much about Miao Fang? β
"That's true, we only intersected by name, and we didn't ask too much about each other's affairs, I only knew that he was a descendant of a family surnamed Miao."
"Anyway, you've seen Miao Fang." Lu Li's fingertips tapped on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of person is he?" Mannerisms, hobbies...... The shopkeeper has been in business for many years, and he is the most eye-catching, and he should have some income. β
Hou Xing smiled slightly, "Young people have good minds. I have been in business for many years, and I think that the governor is not bad, and I do have one or two experiences for Brother Miao. β
"Brother Miao is tall and thin, with a remarkable bearing, and he dresses up as a literati, but he walks calmly, his ears and eyes are clear, and he will definitely be able to martial arts. Although his clothes and ornaments are not gorgeous, the materials and workmanship are of high quality, and the average rich and noble family cannot afford such a subordinate, so his master must be very important. But I have been in business for many years, and I have not seen a family surnamed Miao who is a famous family with a long accumulation, so I guess that his main family may be a hermitage family. β
"Although Brother Miao doesn't say much about the affairs of the main family, he only says a few words, and I can know that his main family is a woman, and the woman's husband is talented, and the world can hardly match it. The housewife is also not bad, and her vision is comparable to that of a man, which is not comparable to ordinary people. And the husband and wife of the main family are good at swimming in the mountains and rivers, and they linger in the famous mountains and famous scenery, and the housewife even has the nickname of 'red crisp hands'......"
After Hou Xing finished speaking, he sighed deeply, "That's all I know. I will talk to you in detail, all because of Brother Miao's entrustment in the letter, and if someone else comes to ask, I will not say more. β
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Lu Li asked a few more details to confirm, and made a request, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty below, I don't know if I can borrow Miao Fang's letter to take a look?" β
"Why not?" Hou Xing turned and went to the back.
This jewelry shop was opened by him, and behind it was the courtyard where he lived, and he quickly brought over the carefully preserved letters.
It's just that ten years have passed, and no matter how well it is preserved, the paper is still a little soft, and the ink is a little sloppy.
Lu Li read the letter, and it was indeed consistent with what Hou Xing said.
Miao Fang's words are strong and powerful, sharp and hooked, Lu Li feels that this person must be decisive and is an extremely powerful character.
There is a private seal in the lower left corner of the letter paper, surrounded by a sea of clouds, and the two words of Miao Fang are engraved with the seal body, which is very special and very beautiful.
"This letter ......" Lu Li's request today has been enough, and he is a little embarrassed to mention it again, but he still said it, "Can you send it to me?" β
Hou Xing was a little reluctant, "Brother Miao and I have similar personalities, but the intersection is very shallow, and the only thing he left for me is letters......"
"But I know him, since the contents of this letter are written like this, he should want this letter to be delivered to you." Hou Xing's eyes were far away, as if he wanted to see something through the boundless sky, "I am also very ......relieved that the matter he entrusted to me has finally come to an end."
Thinking of Miao Fang's name before, Lu Li thought that he could get useful information by asking Wang Fu's wife, but now he followed the information all the way, thinking that he would gain a lot, but he still didn't know who his father and mother were, and what was Miao Fang's origin......
Lu Li was a little disappointed, and when he left the star shop, he couldn't hide the depression in his eyes.
Shen Wansha tugged at his sleeve, "Not happy? β
Lu Li grimaced, "I didn't know it would be like this......"
"But you got some information, didn't you?" Shen Wansha smiled, "Anyway, the days are still long, I'll help you, let's look for it together, we can always find a result!" β
Lu Li was stunned.
Tilting his head again, he saw that Zhao Zhu was also nodding, changing his previous arrogance and disdain, and his eyes flashed with some encouragement, "I will help you." β
Lu Li's heart suddenly warmed, "Okay! Then let's go back and have a good New Year, and continue after the New Year! β
"Uh-huh!" Shen Wansha clenched his little fist, "I'm going to follow you for the next two years, you can't shake it off!" β
Zhao Shu snorted, "If there is nothing to do left and right, let's see how you want to make a fuss." β
Lu Li was happy all of a sudden, pulled several carts full of gifts, and set foot on the road back to Guan County.
When he was happy, he forgot that there was a Liu family in Guan County, how could the people in that family allow him to be quiet...... Tricks
