Yan Jie stood up, gently opened the door of the firewood room through a crack, and saw two black shadows flying over and heading towards the west.

He quietly opened the door of the firewood room and followed with a light step.

In the distance, he saw two black shadows heading towards the stables where the inn was tied to the horses, and he knew that these two people wanted to do something on the Liu family's horses, so he didn't startle the snakes.

After leaving with the two black shadows, Yan Jie went to the stable, examined the horses in the stable, and found that one of the red horses had been taken off by someone, and after three to five hours, they would be poisoned, and then the severe abdominal pain would make the horse go crazy.

And this horse is the horse in front of Liu Ming's carriage during the day, and Liu Ming's carriage walks at the back, once his carriage is startled, it is difficult for the carriage in front of him to survive.

And Liu Ke's carriage walked in front of Liu Ming's carriage, and if something happened to Liu Ming's carriage, Liu Ke's carriage would bear the brunt.

Yan Jie closed his eyes deeply, clasped his hands together at the horse, and silently said: "After three or five hours, you will also be in danger of dying, and the poor monk will want to give you a ride!" ”

After reciting, he gave the horse a deep Buddhist salute, and said softly: "I will be more than for you, I hope you can be reincarnated as a person in the next life, and don't be a horse that is bullied by others." ”

After speaking, Yan Jie raised his right hand and put it on the horse's back, angrily walked the dantian, and pushed all the force to his right hand, and the jujube red horse slowly fell down silently.

Yan Jie breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down with his hands folded and crossed his knees, and really silently litigated the Buddhist scriptures for this horse.

The next day. Yan Jie left the inn.

After the Liu family and his party had breakfast at the inn, a guard found that a horse had died in the stable, so he hurried to report Liu Jialu and Liu Liuming.

After Liu Jialu listened, he was silent for a while and asked, "Can you see what the cause of death of that horse is?" ”

The guard who came to report arched his hand and said: "The subordinates briefly checked and found that the horse's teeth were black, and it should have died from eating unclean things." ”

"Did the other horses check? Is there anything out of the ordinary? Liu Jialu frowned and said.

The guard replied, "Checked, there is no problem with the other horses." ”

Liu Jialu nodded, "Call the shopkeeper of this inn." ”

The guards took the order.

Liu Ming just stood aside and was silent.

After a short time, the shopkeeper of the inn hurriedly followed the Liu family's guards.

He learned that one of the Liu family's horses had died in his inn, and the joy of yesterday was gone. Only frightening remains.

Just by looking at the pomp and circumstance of the Liu family, you can know that they are not ordinary people. Such a person was not provoked by his small grass people.

I wanted to make a lot of money this time, but now it's good, let alone making money, it's good not to lose a horse's money.

This month has been in vain again.

The shopkeeper thought as he walked to Liu Jialu's side.

He always kowtowed without kneeling. cried: "The old man is gracious." Your horse didn't die from our inn. Please be careful! ”

Liu Jialu lowered his head and said lightly: "No one said that you killed our horse, I just want to ask, did you have any other guests in your inn besides us yesterday?" ”

The shopkeeper listened. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they didn't rely on themselves for this matter, but he thought about it, in addition to the people of the Liu family yesterday, there were still guests staying there, even if there were, they couldn't stay.

Thinking of this, his heart that had been relieved was lifted again, and he said with a sad face: "No, our store was chartered by the people of your house yesterday, and I didn't pick up other customers." ”

Liu Jialu was silent when he heard this.

Liu Ming saw that the shopkeeper was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, so he said: "It may be that something accidentally mixed in the fodder of the horses, and it may not be that it is intended to harm our horses, I think it's okay, anyway, the horses we bring are enough, don't delay our journey." ”

Liu Jialu nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, let your aunt settle the bill with the shopkeeper, it is not easy for them to buy and sell with a small capital." With that, he turned and went in.

Shi, Liu Ke and others were in the guest room preparing to set off.

It's just that the originally scheduled time has already passed, but I don't want to have no intention of leaving, and I was wondering, so I heard Liu Jialu tell her to let people settle the bill with the shopkeeper.

Shi hurriedly ordered Mama Xin to settle the bill, but she went to Liu Ke's room in person.

At this time, Liu Wan was in Liu Ke's room.

She was forcibly dragged up by Liu Ke to eat breakfast, and after eating breakfast, she was half-asleep on Liu Ke's body.

Liu Ke poked her forehead with his hand and smiled: "What did you do last night, you actually delayed your sleep and were so sleepy." ”

"Yesterday I was lying in bed, and I thought about it for most of the night, but I couldn't figure out what my uncle and father said yesterday." Liu Yun leaned his whole body on Liu Ke's body and said vaguely.

Liu Ke, who was originally smiling, after hearing this, the smile on her face stiffened and slowly disappeared, and after a while, she reluctantly smiled: "Don't sleep, let's sleep in the carriage in a while, I think the weather is very good today, and there is a brazier on the carriage, it will not be very cold, you just wake up." ”

As she was talking, Shi pushed the door in with a smile, and when she entered the door, she saw Liu Wan's appearance and smiled: "What, hasn't Wan'er woken up yet?" What a lazy girl, we're leaving, you two quickly pack up and get in the car, let the girl take care of it, don't leave anything behind. ”

When Liu Wan heard Shi's voice, he stood up, scratched his head with a simple smile and said, "Uncle and grandmother!" ”

Shi Shi smiled at her dotingly and said, "It's still a child who hasn't grown up." ”

Liu Ke got up and saluted Shi, but Shi's hand was directly held.

Shi took Liu Wan with one hand and Liu Ke out of the room with the other.

When they went out, it happened that Liu Zhen also walked out of her room, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but be angry and hateful, originally Shi was so affectionate to her, but this time when she saw Shi, Shi was not as good to her as before.

Liu Zhenqiang held back the love in her heart. A smile appeared on his face and he saluted Shi: "Uncle and grandmother are good." ”

Shi Shi greeted her with a smile as before: "Let's go, Zhen'er, it's time to leave, go down and get into the carriage." ”

Yoo Jin nodded and followed behind them.

This is Aunt Jiang also went out and followed silently.

Seeing that Liu Zhen was left out in the cold, she walked behind Liu Zhen, snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Our Liu family is a big family in the end, and it is really different from the concubine, and the concubine is the concubine." ”

When she said this. Completely forgot. If you have a child, you will also be a concubine.

After Liu Zhen listened to her words, she turned around and glared at her fiercely, and replied in a low voice: "'Our Liu family' said that you seem to be the master of the Liu family, who calls us to you." You're just a concubine of the Liu family who can't get on the stage. ”

Jiang Shi listened to this. And not angry. There was still a smile on his face: "Yes, I am your father's concubine, but what about your mother." Your mother is not even a concubine now, and she will not be married again in this life. ”

Liu Zhen was so angry by what Jiang said that she was fighting all over, and she didn't dare to argue with her here, so she had to hold back desperately.

After leaving the inn, Liu Ke and Liu Wan put Shi in the carriage before getting into their carriage.

They didn't look at the faces of Liu Zhen and Aunt Jiang who were following behind.

Liu Zhen was angry with Aunt Jiang at this time, and she couldn't care about dealing with Liu Ke for the time being, so she got into the carriage in a bad mood.

After she got into the carriage, she saw that the girl had already raised the brazier in their carriage, the corners of her mouth raised, she snorted lightly, stretched out her foot and kicked the brazier that had been placed in the corner to the side of the door.

Immediately afterwards, Aunt Jiang got into the car.

Liu Zhen deliberately looked at Aunt Jiang's head and said, "It's not common for my father to reward you with a hairpin or something, don't touch it." ”

Aunt Jiang reached out to support the hairpin on her head when she heard this, and was about to sit down, when she stepped on the edge of the brazier, and a pot of coals was buckled on her feet, so shocked that she kept stomping her feet.

However, her cotton shoes still burned.

Aunt Jiang's shout alarmed the Shi family in front, and she hurriedly sent a girl to come and see.

At this time, Liu Zhen picked up the teapot placed in the car, lifted the lid and poured water on Aunt Jiang's feet.

When the fire on Aunt Jiang's feet had not spread to her legs, the fire was extinguished in time.

Aunt Jiang's feet hurt her heart, and she waited for Liu Zhen angrily.

Liu Zhen said to Vanilla who came to ask: "I went back to my uncle and grandmother, it's not a big deal, Aunt Jiang accidentally stepped on the brazier, fortunately there was no big danger, so don't worry about my uncle and grandmother." ”

Vanilla lifted the curtain of the car and saw that Aunt Jiang didn't seem to be hurt except for some wolf bèi, so she nodded and said, "Yes, Third Miss." After saying that, he really turned around and left.

Aunt Jiang was about to speak, but Liu Zhen stretched out her hand and pressed her seat to the seat, only to hear Liu Zhen say coldly: "No matter what you say, my uncle and grandmother will only believe that I will not believe you, and I don't want to think about my identity." ”

After listening to Liu Zhen's words, Aunt Jiang took a deep breath and didn't speak.

She is not a person who does not know the current affairs, when everyone is busy on the road, if she really makes trouble, she will never get sympathy, it will only make Liu Jialu and Shi hate herself, she will never do such an unwise thing.

This time, she spared Liu Zhen, didn't bother with her for the time being, and waited until she arrived in the capital to settle accounts with her little by little, and she would never give up on today's matter.

Thinking of this, Aunt Jiang raised her head and combed her hair, and shouted outside with an adult who didn't care about the villain's life: "Ying'er-"

Yao'er, who was following behind and was about to get on and off the carriage, heard Aunt Jiang's shout and hurriedly ran towards this side.

"Ya'er, find me a new pair of cotton shoes and socks to change into, keep these shoes well, don't lose them." Aunt Jiang said as she burned a big hole in her foot, and handed the cotton shoes that were soaked with tea to Ying'er's hand.

Yao'er looked at the burned cotton shoes in her hand, and she didn't understand Aunt Jiang's words, so she was stunned for a while, not knowing how to reply.

"Why don't you go and freeze me to death?" Aunt Jiang said as she took off her socks on her feet.

As she took off her socks, she felt a burning pain in her feet.

After taking off the socks, I found that the entire surface of the left foot had been peeled off with the socks.

"Auntie, are you alright?" Ying'er asked, her eyes widening in shock.

Aunt Jiang was obviously in terrible pain. But he just gritted his teeth and pretended to be fine: "It's just a layer of skin, what's the fuss, in the Liu family, is this still called a thing?" Go find me shoes and socks. ”

After hearing this, she quickly ran away with her burnt shoes.

After a while, I came back with a new pair of shoes and a new pair of socks.

Aunt Jiang gritted her teeth and put on her shoes and socks, and did not say a word from beginning to end.

Liu Zhen just looked at it and sneered.

After a short time, the convoy began to move forward, and today they were to reach Qizhou, which was not far from here, where to rest and recuperate, and then continue on their way.

After Qizhou, it is Jinan Mansion. At this time, Jinan should have warmed up, and they can take a look at the scenery of Quancheng by the way.

After Jinan, to Dongping County, through Xuzhou, Chuzhou to the capital Jianye.

At this time. Su Liheng has arrived in the capital. Joined up with the shopkeeper Duan.

Shopkeeper Duan once contacted Liu Ke by letter. After discussing whose name to write the proprietor of the silk firm, Liu Ke told him a name - "Huaheng".

So when he saw Su Liheng, he knew that this was his owner.

Su Liheng was originally a scholar. He doesn't know anything about doing business, but he is modest, and when he is with Shopkeeper Duan, he mostly listens to Shopkeeper Duan's advice, and he is just learning from Shopkeeper Duan.

Shopkeeper Duan enjoys getting along with Su Liheng more.

In the eyes of Shopkeeper Duan, Su Liheng is just an impostor owner.

Fan still wrote to discuss with Liu Ke.

Liu Ke often wrote back to her and didn't say anything.

Seeing that their store was about to open in more than ten days, Shopkeeper Duan was only waiting for Liu Ke to arrive.

Now he and Su Liheng are in the store to ask for the clearance or something, in preparation for the opening.

"Mr. Hua knows someone in the capital, we always have to invite someone when we open, and the opening can't be too shabby." Shopkeeper Duan said to Su Liheng.

After Su Liheng heard this, he was stunned at first, and then said: "I'm not not from the capital, like you, how can I know people from the capital." ”

Shopkeeper Duan actually knew that Su Liheng would not know anyone with a head and face in the capital, but he just asked him in vain to show respect, and at this time, he still had to discuss with Liu Ke and Liu Feng.

While they were talking, they saw someone at the door riding a horse and approaching them.

Su Liheng sat on the chair inside, and when he saw the person passing by the door, his figure was very familiar, and he couldn't help but chase him out.

Sure enough, he stood at the door of the store and saw the figure riding away on horseback, which was really the ease of being to Boling before.

Su Liheng saw that he was alone, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a black cloak behind him, and when he was blown by the wind, the cloak floated behind him with the wind, not Qingyi or that.

Seeing Qingyi's appearance as if he was going to do something important, Su Liheng didn't stop him, and said in his heart: If you are fated, you can naturally meet again.

Standing at the door, he watched Qingyi's figure slowly move away.

"Does Mr. Hua know that person just now?" Shopkeeper Duan asked when he saw Su Liheng's eyes staring at the carriage in the distance.

Su Liheng nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, I should know him, and his family should also be a big family, but I don't know where his family lives, so there is no way to post to him, only to meet him in the future." ”

Seeing that Qingyi, who had just left, was not dressed as an ordinary person, he was a little suspicious of Su Liheng's words, so he couldn't help but look at Su Liheng, and after looking at it several times, he reluctantly nodded: "It turned out to be Mr. Hua's old friend." ”

Su Liheng smiled and walked into the store, not denying it.

Shopkeeper Duan also walked in and continued to deal with Su Liheng in the store.

Because there are not many things now, except for Wu Yi and the others brought from Boling, there are no other guys.

Today, Wu Yi took his brothers to touch the market of the silk weaving shop in the capital, so there are only two people in the store today, Su Liheng and Duan.

They are no more, Shopkeeper Duan is somewhat unstable, looking out from time to time.

It's not good if someone comes in to make trouble, this is what the shopkeeper is most afraid of encountering, fortunately it hasn't opened yet, and the signboard hasn't been hung out yet, otherwise in a place like the capital, who knows who will meet.

He was worried that Wu Yi had already returned with someone.

"Brother Wu, how about the price? What's the catch? When Shopkeeper Duan saw Wu Yi walk in, he hurriedly asked.

In the heart of the shopkeeper Duan. Wu Yi is strong in martial arts, and he is a celebrity in front of Liu Ke, so there will be no loss if he marries him.

Wu Yi habitually arched his hand and said: "We walked the streets and alleys of the capital, and in the end we only found four silk shops, and we also touched the prices, all of them were about the same price, and the fifth brother had already written them down one by one, and when he sorted out the content of the record, he handed it over to the shopkeeper and the owner to take a look." ”

"What's wrong with that, then let the five brothers Wang sort it out first." Shopkeeper Duan's tone was quite respectful.

Although Wu Yi and others can't do meticulous work. But the work of supporting the scene and running errands or something is still very good.

Wu Yi listened to the words of the shopkeeper Duan. So he took Wang Wu down and went to the small courtyard behind the silk weaving shop.

He had just led people to the back, and a few thugs walked in front.

When Shopkeeper Duan saw it, he hurriedly said to Su Liheng: "Boss, go and rest first." I'll take care of that. ”

After Su Liheng heard this. I reacted immediately. This is the shopkeeper Duan protecting him, and at the same time, after he leaves, he can go to the back to find Wu Yi, Wang Wu and others. So he hurried to the back.

Seeing this, the gangsters in the back laughed, and one of the gangsters pointed to Su Liheng's departing figure and smiled: "Look at the cowardice of the owner, he still dares to open a silk shop in this area, and he will open it, and he won't even report it to our boss, is this a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or is it just a lack of brains?" ”

As he spoke, the thug fumbled with the fabric on the table with a stick that was more than two feet long in his hand, making a mess of all the fabrics.

The shopkeeper Duan just arched them.

Su Liheng quickly walked to the back and told Wu Yi about the previous matter.

Wu Yi stepped out of the gate of the courtyard and walked towards the front.

The others also followed Wu Yi out the door.

As soon as they saw that the front hall was in disarray, their aggressive side was stimulated.

Wu Yi stepped forward and pressed the little gangster led by him to the ground with his hands and feet.

Wang Wu and other brothers who followed Wu Yi also rushed up.

The few thugs present were easily subdued by Wu Yi and others.

"Big brother, good man, strong man, let us go, we promise never to come to your store again to make trouble. It's true! It's true! The thugs who were pressed to the ground by Wu Yi hurriedly begged for mercy.

Wu Yi was unmoved, turned back to Su Liheng and said, "Mr. Hua, what do you say to deal with them?" ”

Su Liheng was asked at first, he was stunned and smiled: "They are also acting on orders, is there a boss here, if we can't get in touch with that boss, they will still come in the future, even if a few of them don't come, there will be other people coming, it's better to let them go first, let them bring a message to their boss, and say I want to see him." ”

After Wu Yi and the others listened to Su Liheng's words, they all let go of the hands of the people they were holding and said, "Mr. Hua, what if their eldest brother is unreasonable, we can't agree to their unreasonable demands." ”

Su Liheng did not answer Wu Yi's question, but said to the little thug who had just stood up: "Did you hear that, go and bring a message to your boss, early tomorrow morning, I will wait for him here to drink tea together, and I hope he will come soon." ”

As soon as the thugs heard that they could leave unscathed, they quickly called their companions and left.

"Sir, do you really want to meet with the boss of these little gangsters? If something happens, we can't explain it to the eldest lady. Wu Yi said with some surprise.

Su Liheng smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

Shopkeeper Duan is also puzzled by Su Liheng's approach, generally such gangsters make money by eating protection money, as long as you don't pay them money, they will come to the store every day to make trouble.

"Owner, can't you think that one is one out, they are so easy to see, just throw some money at them, and they should be ruined." Shopkeeper Duan persuaded.

Su Liheng smiled and waved his hand, and said: "That's not the case, why should we lose our hard-earned money to these idle gangsters, if we do this, it can only fuel their arrogance to be more arrogant." I just want to talk to their boss, so that they don't set foot here again from now on, they just agree, if they don't agree, aren't there still Wu Boss and Fifth Brother? I believe that there are definitely not many people who can surpass the martial arts of the two of them, as long as they are there, why are we afraid of some thugs. ”

After listening to Su Liheng's words, Shopkeeper Duan only regarded his words as the words of an inexperienced scholar, and he was holding his head and thinking of a way.

However, what can he do, it is nothing more than to give them more money when the boss of the thugs comes tomorrow.

After the shopkeeper Duan thought of this, he picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Liu Ke.

At this time, Liu Ke was taking care of himself on the road, and even if he saw the letter, he couldn't reply to him.
