A taste of incense, a private room.

The corners of Old Man Ruan's eyes twitched slightly, and although he didn't say anything, an extremely terrifying momentum emanated from him. The second time, the last time Ruan Yanluo had a big life, and let Lan Xiang suffer that catastrophe on her behalf, but this time she was actually taken away.

Hongyan has passed away, and the only person in this world who has a blood relationship with him is Ruan Yanluo, even if he has a good temper, he can't tolerate anyone who wants to be unfavorable to her daughter again and again.

In addition to Master Ruan, there are also red leaves, Yan Qing and Lan Yue Lanxing sisters, except for red leaves, no one has ever seen Lord Ruan like this, Lan Yue Lanxing is just that, they have not been in Ruan's Mansion for a long time, but Yan Qing had seen Lord Ruan when he was a child, and even Changfeng Army's food, clothing, housing and transportation were arranged by Master Ruan, but even him, the impression of Master Ruan has always been weak and elegant, and he has never seen him have such a strong and ruthless momentum.

For a moment, the entire private room fell silent, and no one spoke.

As soon as the door of the room rang, Lu Xiuyi pushed the door in, he probably ran all the way, sweat and even his hair was wet. Without bothering to take a breath, Lu Xiu put a small cage on the table and said hurriedly, "I've brought something." ”

Just now he finished the accounts and rushed to Yipinxiang, just in time for Yan Qing to rescue Lan Yue Lan Xing, planning to ask them to go separately to ventilate and report the news, to find out what was going on, Lu Xiuyi asked Lan Yue Lan Xing to inform Master Ruan, Yan Qing was guarding the private room here, but he ran out with his head bored, and he didn't hurry back until this time.

"What did you bring here?" Momiji asked.

"This ......" Lu Xiuyi opened the cloth covering the cage, revealing what was underneath, and everyone saw that it was a mouse-like animal with a very flexible form, but they didn't know what it was.

"What is this?" Lan Xing asked.

"It's called a scent-seeking rat, and it's very sensitive to taste, and if it's trained, each one can be particularly sensitive to one flavor each." Lu Xiuyi wiped the sweat on his head and said: "After Miss Lanxiang's accident, the county lord said that such a thing must not happen again, and he has to find a way to make some marks on his own people, so that when you want to find them, you can find them immediately, just in case." ”

"You mean this can find the county lord?" Lan Yue was careful and immediately asked.

"I'm not sure." Lu Xiuyi said: The county lord and I have just started the test, and the taste of the test is the sachet that the county lord carries. It's just that we've only been raising this mouse for half a month, and I don't know if he can find the county lord, so I can only try. ”

When Master Ruan and the others saw this incense mouse, they only thought that they could find Ruan Yanluo, and infinite hope swelled in everyone's hearts, but Lu Xiuyi's words at this time seemed to have poured a basin of cold water on his head, extinguishing at least half of everyone's enthusiasm.

This happened very suddenly, none of them had any clues, and now the only way to find Ruan Yanluo was to be sure, but they couldn't be sure if they could really find her, so they could only try.

Old Man Ruan pondered for a moment and said, "This method can be used." He turned to Yan Qing again and said, "What Yan'er said to you before leaving, you tell me again." ”

"The county lord said, take care of Lan Yue Lanxing, go to my father and Lu Xiuyi." Yan Qing retold the original words.

Master Ruan said to Lu Xiuyi: "Yan'er is a very smart child, she never says meaningless words, since she specifically mentioned you, she must think that the method you and she are studying is useful and can find her, so this method can be tried." ”

What Master Ruan said was reasonable, and the people who knew Ruan Yanluo at the scene thought about it carefully, this was indeed Ruan Yanluo's style, and for a while, his confidence rose again, and Lu Xiuyi picked up the mouse and said, "I'll go to the county lord." ”

Yan Qing immediately took a step in parallel and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Lan Yue Lanxing had already blamed herself for losing Ruan Yanluo, and when she heard that there was a way to find Ruan Yanluo, of course she refused to be left behind. Master Ruan nodded and said, "It's good if there are more people, and if you find it, someone will go back to Ruan's Mansion to report a message." ”

Several people saluted Master Ruan and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs.

Master Ruan turned around and looked at the inner courtyard through the window, he paid attention to the situation here as soon as he came, the inner courtyard of Yipinxiang was only open at night, and there was no one during the day, not to mention that when Ruan Yanluo came, it was a meal, and the people in the store were all in front to greet guests, and there were even fewer people in the inner courtyard, only two guards.

And when Master Ruan came, the two gatekeepers were found unconscious in the grass, and they didn't know who had entered the inner courtyard and what had happened.

When Mr. Ruan and his party were talking, a chubby middle-aged man had been waiting outside the door of the private room, he was the shopkeeper here, surnamed Cao. Although Master Ruan's position is not high, he is a fourth-grade Beijing official, and his daughter has an accident here, and the shopkeeper does not dare to be too lazy, so he has been waiting here.

After Lu Xiu and the others left, Master Ruan summoned him in, and Shopkeeper Cao seemed to bend humbly, but his flickering eyes made people feel that he was not so respectful to Master Ruan as he seemed on the surface.

"Shopkeeper Cao, which cousin is serving tea to the little girl? The old man had something to ask him. ”

Shopkeeper Cao had a smile on his round face, and said smoothly: "According to Lord Ruan's orders, the villain does not dare to disobey, but Lord Ruan also knows that our business here is good, and manpower is also tight, and it is not enough for one person to break it into two pieces, let alone one less person." If this is the villain's own industry, it's a big deal to close the door and not do it, and you have to let Lord Ruan find out, but unfortunately this is not the villain's own, but the prime minister's, if there is less revenue, the prime minister is to blame, the villain can't afford it, so please ask Lord Ruan to take care of it. ”

Shopkeeper Cao said a lot of things, and he kept saying that he would do his best, but he secretly advertised that this was the prime minister's industry, and it was clearly to make Ruan Xixian have scruples and dare not touch the people here.

People who do business value harmony, in fact, if it is someone else, this shopkeeper may not be so difficult, but the cousin who served tea to Ruan Yanluo is his own nephew, so he naturally has to try his best to keep it. It is expected that Ruan Xixian is just a household servant, and he will definitely not dare to argue with the prime minister.

Ruan Xixian's pupils shrank slightly, he had been in obscurity for too many years, and now even these minions had forgotten what kind of person he was, and they had forgotten that the blood that had spread in Beijing during the struggle of the crown prince back then, and dared to ride on his head so blatantly.

Ruan Xixian put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's just a little guy who runs errands and serves tea under the old man's account, and the slave he raises is actually so arrogant." ”
