Because of Li Man's dream, the other people didn't sleep well later, and the next day it was numb, so they got up in a hurry, and after a simple breakfast, they divided their labor.

Li Mo and Li Hua were responsible for renting the house, while Li Man and Li Yan were responsible for investigating the situation of the sixth prince Yan Jin.

The location of Jinwangfu is very inquisitive, located in the most prosperous area of the capital, if you talk about luxury, it is slightly better than the prince's mansion.

It's just that if you want to hear any other news, it's even more difficult.

"What to do? Why don't we find a way to get in? ”

In a corner of the Jinwang Mansion, Li Man asked Li Yan.

Li Yan leaned against the wall, paying attention to the movement at the entrance of the palace, and asked her, "What do you think?" ”

"Well, for example, a food delivery person, a firewood seller, or something new? Anyway, let's get in first. Li Man said.

After listening to this, Li Yan looked at her serious appearance funny, and couldn't help but reach out and rub her head twice, "In the future, the fourth brother is not allowed to buy you those messy books again, my brain is stupid." ”

"What do you mean?" Li Man looked at him depressedly, wasn't she coming up with an idea.

Li Yan looked at her helplessly and dotingly, and snorted lightly, "Fool, things are not so simple, this is the palace, and it is heavily guarded." ”

"Well, that's why we have to figure out a way to get in." Modern TV dramas are all played like this, Li Man thinks that maybe a blind cat can meet a dead mouse, and it can be done.

"You have to think of a way, but." Li Yan frowned deeply, and said helplessly, "For the time being, I haven't thought of it yet." ”

"Can't you pretend to be a food deliverer?" Li Man is still not giving up.

Li Yan was amused, "You really think it was written in the play?" Any vegetable seller can go in? No, take a look. ”

It just so happened that on the other end, a team of people happened to push carts of vegetables and entered through the small back door of the palace.

Li Man's eyes lit up, "There are really food deliveries." ”

"Look closely." Li Yan slapped her on the head twice and reminded.

Li Man's eyes widened and he said, "Look carefully, the car is full of vegetables, vegetables, as well as chicken, duck and fish, a lot." ”

"Uh." Li Yan was full of black lines and reminded again, "Have you noticed?" Each of them had a sign on them, which was about a token for entering and leaving the palace, and it was checked by a special person. ”

After this reminder, Li Man found out that there was a gorgeously dressed old man and two guards standing at the small door, and everyone who sent food in, first of all, in addition to showing the sign, had to go through a full-body search, even if the vegetables in the car had to go through a detailed inspection before they could be sent in.

With such a detailed inspection, I am really not afraid of trouble.

Li Man was very depressed, it was not difficult to deliver food, but he couldn't get the difficult brand, and even if he mixed in, he didn't know if he could hear the news.

"Li Yan, why don't we ask those people just now to borrow a brand?"

"No." Li Yan denied.

Li Man was frustrated.

Li Yan glanced at her, pulled her to a small shop opposite, and explained in a low voice, "First of all, others will not borrow such an important thing at will, and secondly, they are one person and one card, if they change people, they will definitely be interrogated, and they may be arrested for ulterior motives." ”

"Oh." Reasonable, Li Man nodded, and raised his little head again, "Then what should I do?" Just give up? But it was so difficult for us to get to the capital. Seeing that I got to the door, but couldn't go in, I was really anxious. ”

In modern times, if someone is lost, they can still call the police, but now, it is really troublesome.

"Wait." Li Yan only threw her a word, and then took her into an open-air tea shop.

Li Man was puzzled, how to wait?

But instinctively, she still wanted to listen to Li Yan, so she did whatever he said.

When he arrived at the tea shop, Li Yan ordered two teas, which seemed to be very leisurely.

Li Man couldn't sit still, "Could it be that the two of us are sitting here?" ”

"Be patient." Li Yan said, adding some water to her cup.

Li Man also wanted to be as calm as him, but after having that terrible dream last night, she couldn't do it, and it seemed that if she didn't say something or do something, she would be restless and at a loss.

But when she was about to say something, Li Yan grabbed her hand and assured her with a smile, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”

"Hmm." Li Man's tense expression slowly stretched.

"You sit here and wait a while." Li Yan suddenly let go of her hand, got up and walked outside.

Li Man was stunned for a moment, and saw him walk out of the tea shop slowly.

At the same time, in the small door of the palace, several people who had delivered food before came out one after another with empty carts.

As soon as Li Man wanted to get up and chase him, he saw a basket suddenly fall from one of the cars, Li Yan turned around and helped pick it up, and then, naturally, chatted with the owner of the car.

That's what it takes? Li Man didn't dare to stir up the situation, and sat quietly, waiting for him to come back.

However, without chatting a few words, Li Yan came back.

Li Man hurriedly greeted him, "What's the matter?" What did you talk about? ”

"Just ask what's going on." Li Yan sat down and said, "It's even worse than we thought, even if it's to deliver food, you can't talk nonsense or look at it when you go in, and you will be kicked out as soon as it is delivered." ”

"Then those of them who often go in and out of the palace haven't heard any news at all?" Li Man asked.

Li Yan shook his head, "This kind of thing, even if they know about it, they don't dare to talk about it outside." The reputation of Lord Jin's Hades is not in vain. ”

This morning, they inquired a little, and everyone seemed to be very secretive about the affairs of the Jinwang Mansion, except for the location of the palace, they didn't want to inquire about it at all.

"How about that?" Li Man had a bitter face, thinking to himself, if Li Shu fell into the hands of this person, would there still be a good one? Could it be that last night's dream was a harbinger of something? Or has it already happened?

"Don't worry." Li Yan saw that her expression had changed, and comforted, "There will always be a way, let's go back first and see how the eldest brother is doing?" And then we will discuss it. ”

"Hmm." That's all there is to it.

It's just that what the two didn't expect was that when they returned to the small hotel, they didn't see Li Mo and Li Hua, but they saw Zhang Jing, who they hadn't seen for a long time.

When you meet your old acquaintance in a foreign country, it feels like a lot of heart.

Li Man walked over to him excitedly, and when he saw the smile on Zhang Jing's face, he said excitedly, "Zhang Jing, is it really you?" I thought I was dazzled? ”

Compared with Li Man's excitement, Li Yan is much calmer, selfishly speaking, he has always been afraid of Zhang Ben, even now, the relationship between Zhang and Li is close, and that uncomfortable feeling is still there.

And this time I went out to find the third brother, and I didn't tell the Zhang family a word, which is the reason.

He didn't want to be too close to the Zhang family, instinctively, he felt that the Zhang family was not as good as the surface was presented to people, perhaps, the water of the Zhang family was very deep, according to his intuition, Zhang Jing often traveled to the capital, it must be more than just business, maybe there were other things.

Last time, as soon as he appeared, the county magistrate didn't even try the court, so he and his eldest brother were released.

It can be seen that Zhang Jing is not simple.

Zhang Jing didn't notice Li Yan's subtle expression, a pair of eyes stared directly at Li Man's face, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter with your face?" ”

Li Man was stunned for a moment, covered his face with his hands, and explained embarrassedly, "Isn't this to make it easier to go out?" ”

"This? Are you really okay? Zhang Jing endured it, and then he couldn't help but not reach out and touch the large black spot like a birthmark on half of her cheek.

Li Man said, "It's okay, I'll get some potions when I go back, and I'll wash it off." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Jing was a little relieved at this time, and glanced at her face again, for no reason, this Jun Mei was locked again, "It's better to wash it, it looks awkward like this." ”

"Are you alright?" Li Man touched her cheeks, except for some roughness, she didn't feel anything else, and this is very good, it's not like they used to go out, there will always be people who will keep their eyes on her, this time, maybe someone will take a look, but at most at a glance, they will open their eyes, there are sympathy, there are mockery, but they don't want to take advantage of her.

didn't want to talk about his face, Li Man diverted the topic and asked again, "By the way, why are you here?" Shouldn't you be here to stay too? ”

Zhang Jing smiled slightly and replied, "I happened to come to Beijing to do some business, and I knew that you were also here, so I wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect that I really asked me to find you." ”

"Zhang Gongzi's luck has always been very good, but it must have taken some thought to find it in such a small place, right?" Li Yan also said.

Zhang Jing sighed lightly, and said as if it were true or false, "Yes, it really took a lot of thought, and I searched for it for most of the night, no, you see, my eyes are dark." ”

As he spoke, he really lowered his head to Li Man and pointed to the corner of his eye.

Li Man only thought he was joking, and said, "No matter what, I'm really happy to meet you here." By the way, what are you doing in Beijing? Are you done? ”

"Hmm." Zhang Jing pondered for a while, looked at her little face that had lost a lot of weight, frowned slightly, and said, "It's not all right, it's a little worse." ”

"Oh." Li Man didn't want to ask more, so he said, "Why don't you sit in the house?" Eat here at noon, heh, you can come and see us, we are really happy. ”

As he spoke, Li Man lightly touched Li Yan, can this guy not be so stingy, how many years has he remembered such a little episode with Zhang Jing? What's more, everyone is going to marry now.

yes, by the way, thinking of what Mrs. Zhang mentioned last year, Zhang Jing seemed to marry a young lady from the capital, why did he end up silent? It's also too busy to forget, but she has already prepared some gifts, and she hasn't given them out yet.

Li Man walked ahead and opened the door of the hut, but the two beds that filled the hut made her full of black lines, so she hurriedly brought up the door again and stopped Zhang Jing at the door.

"Heh, let's talk outside, it's spacious, and the air is good."

"What's going on inside?" She didn't let her in, and Zhang Jing became more and more surprised.

It's too small inside, and there's no place to sit, Li Man is really embarrassed to let him in, so he just said, "It's a mess, it's busy in the morning, it's too late to clean up, so let's eat outside at noon, go, and find a restaurant." ”

"Don't, the food in the restaurant outside is as delicious as your cooking." Zhang Jing said with a smile, to be honest, he had never eaten Li Man's dishes, but Mrs. Zhang had eaten them, and every time she ate, she always had to praise two sentences, which made him a little greedy, so he had to taste it in person one day.

Li Man smiled dryly, and before he could say anything, Li Yan grabbed her shoulder with one hand, took her into his arms, and gently pushed the door open with the other hand.

"Zhang Gongzi came over so easily, he had to go into the house and sit, drink tea and talk."

As soon as the door opened, Li Yan pulled Li Man in, and Zhang Jing naturally followed.

Sure enough, after being occupied by the two large beds, the remaining space was difficult for the three of them to turn around.

Li Man was embarrassed and glared at Li Yan, Li Yan said that he was innocent, obviously he wanted to come in.

Zhang Jing simply stood at the door, a pair of eyes looking at the big bed crowded together, the corners of his eyes twitched, and his eyes looked at Li Man darkly, could it be that she slept here with those men this night?

Even if you think about it, there shouldn't be anything excessive? However, they are husband and wife, and even if they do do something, it seems normal.

"Oh, this room is too crowded." Li Man looked at Zhang Jing embarrassedly, but when he came in, he could only invite someone to sit.

Where to sit? I can only sit on the bed.

So, the three of them sat next to each other on the bed.

Zhang Jing sat down, did not beat around the bush, and directly stated the purpose of coming.

"Before I came, I heard about your family's affairs and Li Shu's affairs, and I have asked someone to inquire about it."

"You know that, too?" Li Man was slightly surprised, but thinking about it, Old Madam Zhang had always been thinking about her, and she had sent someone to the Li family, so when she thought about it, she was relieved, "Thank you, Zhang Jing, but we don't know whether Li Shu is in Jinwang's Mansion at the moment." Don't wade into this troubled water. ”

Li Yan nodded when he heard this, he also meant the same.

Zhang Jing said, "You are wrong, I don't do anything for you." However, I just know a few more acquaintances in this capital. By the way, you just said that Li Shu is in the Jinwang Mansion? ”

"Hmm." Li Man thought that Zhang Jing was not an outsider, so he told the shopkeeper Xu about the assassin.

When Zhang Jing heard this, the smile on his face was slightly suppressed, "Don't worry, I'll let people investigate, if he is in the hands of King Jin, I will definitely think of saving him." ”

"Really?" Seeing that he was full of confidence, Li Man was pleasantly surprised.

Zhang Jing glanced at her comfortingly, "Naturally, however, according to my speculation, Li Shu should not be there." ”

"Absent?" Li Man was stunned, and Li Yan was too, "No matter if we are here or not, we must always get accurate news to rest assured, if it is really not in the hands of King Jin, we can rest assured." ”

"Yes." When Li Yan said this, Li Man was relieved, if Li Shu was not in the hands of King Jin, wouldn't his life be more secure? Well, as long as he lives, they have hope of finding him.

While chatting, Li Mo and Li Hua came back, and when they saw Zhang Jing, they were also quite surprised.

Li Man told him what happened to him when he came to Beijing to do business.

However, Li Man himself will believe such a statement, and their brothers, like Li Yan, do not believe that this is a coincidence.

How could there be a capital where they only arrived yesterday, and Zhang Jing found it early in the morning?

This speed? Could it be that as soon as they left the goddess ditch, he couldn't get it?

couldn't help but glance at Zhang Jing more, secretly frightened, his thoughts about his daughter-in-law were still there?

"Brother Li." For Li Mo, Zhang Jing's respectful color was much more, he got up, and said solemnly, "Regarding Li Shu's matter, I should do my best, don't worry too much, in addition, the capital has not been peaceful recently, and it is really not appropriate for your family to live here, it is not as good as this, I have an empty courtyard in the capital, if you don't dislike it, go live with me, and be a companion for me." ”

"The capital annex?" Li Man thought that the Zhang family was really a rich master.

However, none of the three Li Mo brothers nodded in agreement.

Li Man naturally listened to them.

Li Mo said, "Zhang Gongzi is too polite, our brothers come to Beijing to find people, and they will not live permanently, although the conditions here are simple, but it is convenient to travel, so we will not cause trouble to Zhang Gongzi." ”

"What's the trouble or not, Brother Li is polite to me? If my grandmother had known, you would have come to Beijing and your family would have been crammed into such a hut, and she would not have complained to me. For the sake of my ears being clean in the future, please help me, and go with me. Zhang Jingdao, a pair of eyes glanced at Li Man, his expression was very sincere, "Man'er, tell me about it." I know you don't want to trouble me. However, I think that the main task of your coming out this time is to find Li Shu, so everything else is secondary. And to live with me, it is no harm to you to find someone, as long as it is good. ”

"This?" Li Man hesitated and looked at the three brothers of the Li family.

Zhang Jing sighed lightly in his heart, as usual, the brothers in this family are very afraid of guilt, and they listen to Li Man for everything, but now they see that the important decision is still made by the men.

"Brother Li, it is most important to find Li Shu right now, I know a lot of people in the capital, and the news is more convenient than yours, if you live here, I am afraid that it will be troublesome to communicate, in addition." He glanced at Li Man meaningfully, and said, "Man'er's dress like this can hide people's eyes and ears for a while, but she is a daughter after all, if someone finds through it one day?" ”

He didn't say the rest of the words, but Li Mo and the others guessed it.

"Okay, then it's up to Mr. Zhang." Li Mo made a decision, in his heart, in addition to looking for the third brother, it was Li Man.

He didn't want to have too much contact with the Zhang family, but Zhang Jing was right about some of his words, he knew a lot of people, and he was well-informed, which was definitely helpful for finding the third brother.

Moreover, with a fixed residence, Li Man should be much safer and more comfortable.

Along the way, she didn't eat well, slept well, and lost a lot of weight, he saw it in his eyes and hurt in his heart.

Zhang Jing smiled, sure enough, their brother's last weakness was Li Man.

It's just that, thinking about Situ Qing and the master of the Prince's Mansion, Zhang Jing only sighed.

Sometimes, what about princely nobles? In terms of love, there may not be happiness and happiness for ordinary people.

There is no need to look for a house, Li Man is very happy, and most importantly, Zhang Jing is an acquaintance, which makes her feel very relieved.

After a brief tidying up, the group followed Zhang Jing's carriage and came to his residence.

Zhangjia Courtyard, located on the outskirts of Beijing, is surrounded by towering trees, which makes it look particularly quiet.

In the courtyard, except for an old housekeeper and a few servants, there was no one else.

Zhang Jing said that he only occasionally went to Beijing to run errands, and only stayed for a few days, so he didn't use too many people.

These are all old people of the Zhang family, who are responsible for taking care of here.

Zhang Jing personally took them to the guest room, and I don't know if it was intentional or deliberate, Li Man was arranged in one courtyard alone, and the three brothers of the Li family were arranged in another.

This made several people feel very uncomfortable, and in the end, Li Yan couldn't help it, and directly threw all the packages in Li Man's house, and said, "Zhang Gongzi, our family is already very troublesome with you, so don't separate the two again, and let so many people take care of it." It's you, it's not easy to go out alone, let those mothers-in-law and maids go to your courtyard, we are here, Man'er can do anything. ”

Zhang Jing looked at Li Yan with a complicated expression, this guy is too sticky to his daughter-in-law, right?

But people are husband and wife, and it's normal to live together.

Zhang Jing didn't want to be too deliberate, he just said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want, if you need anything, I'm not there, just ask Fubo." ”

"Hmm." Li Man nodded.

After settling them, Zhang Jing went to Situ Qing to return to his life, but he didn't know that Situ Qing opened his mouth and wanted him to coax Li Man out alone.

"What do you want to do?" Looking at Situ Qing's shining eyes, Zhang Jing keenly felt that this guy's flower disease had been committed again, and he couldn't help reminding, "She is a married man." ”

"Where do you want to go?" Being seen through his thoughts, Situ Qing was a little embarrassed, but he still said hardly, "I just want to do my best to be a landlord, besides, we grew up together since childhood, she doesn't recognize me as a brother, but I miss her as a sister." ”

Zhang Jing listened to this, but his expression was straight, and he asked, "Qing, is she really the daughter of the Shangguan family?" But how did you escape? I looked at her like that, as if she didn't know anything about who she was. Are you sure, you're not mistaken? ”
