Chapter 322: Flying to the Racecourse
In the early morning of the next day, Lu Yuan woke up to the sound of roosters.
Rubbing his eyes, he entered the lobby and saw Li Ruozhen sitting on a chair, and there was no figure of Li Zhong's father and daughter.
"What about them?" Lu Yuan asked.
"That friend of yours has already gone out, and my apprentice is doing his morning class." Li Ruozhen replied casually.
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes kept widening.
"Your apprentice?"
"Yes, I just accepted Li Dong as my second apprentice." Li Ruozhen said it without actually.
"Why did you suddenly remember to take her as an apprentice?" Lu Yuan said in surprise.
Li Ruozhen looked at Lu Yuan, his eyes were a little serious.
"Did you notice, the kid can't speak."
Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Brother Li did mention this matter to me. ”
"Although I don't know why she can't speak, but practicing martial arts is always good for her body, and maybe she can speak again." Li Ruozhen slowly said the reason.
Lu Yuan's face softened, although Li Ruozhen doesn't like to talk and is very cold to people, he is actually very kind in his heart, which should be a typical cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"What are you looking at me like that?" Li Ruozhen saw Lu Yuan staring at him, and said suspiciously.
"Ah, nothing."
Li Ruozhen didn't pursue much, and said, "Then let's go out quickly, you should still have a lot to do." ”
"Yes, let's set up a stall at Paradise today." Lu Yuan said with a smile.
The two were about to go out, when there was a sound of footsteps behind them, and when they turned their heads, they saw that it was the little girl Li Dong.
She stared at Li Ruozhen, as if she wanted to say something.
Li Ruozhen stepped forward and touched her head and said, "You practice hard at home, and I'll come back at night." ”
The little girl nodded vigorously, reached out and fumbled in her pocket for a while, took out a very beautiful small stone, and motioned for Li Ruozhen to accept it.
This should be her baby, Lu Yuan thought to himself, it seems that she likes her senior sister very much.
Li Ruozhen took it, looked at it twice, and said softly: "I like it very much, thank you." ”
The little girl's face spread out and she smiled happily.
Li Ruozhen didn't say anything more, turned around and went out, Lu Yuan waved his hand at the little girl, and quickly followed.
While walking through the alley, Lu Yuan joked: "Senior sister, when did you learn my trick of touching your head and killing you?" ”
"What's so difficult about your moves, and your martial arts are all taught by me, what does it matter if you learn your moves."
Li Ruozhen walked forward without looking back.
Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "That little girl seems to like you very much, it's only been one night, how did you do it?" ”
"I didn't do anything in particular, after I took off the disguise mask, she was very close to me."
In other words, has your appearance reached the point where both men and women are killed? Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed.
The two walked all the way to the outside of Bliss Fang, and Lu Yuan went into the teahouse to take out the props from yesterday's stall and set up a fortune-telling booth.
Li Ruozhen hugged his chest, silently watched him busy on the side, and after he set it up, he asked, "Senior brother, do you want to put it here for a day?" ”
"Yes, you can go to the city and let's meet here in the evening."
"There's nothing to shop about, my mission is to protect you." Li Ruozhen said seriously.
"Then you can go into the restaurant and wait for me."
Li Ruozhen shook his head, dragged his chin with his fingers and thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the street.
After a while, she came back with a table and a chair, and Lu Yuan smiled slightly, knowing that she also wanted to set up a fortune-telling booth.
Next, it was Lu Yuan's turn to sit on the chair and watch Li Ruozhen go about his business. It didn't take long for her stall to be set up, but it was a little different from Lu Yuan's.
Lu Yuan has one table and two chairs, and she only has one table and one chair, and it seems that she intends to let the guests stand.
And the bamboo pole next to her has the word "fortune telling" written on it, which is far less than Lu Yuan's "magic calculation".
The two of them were standing across the street from their stalls at the moment, and they looked like competitors to others.
Because this place is located at the gate of the Paradise Place, most of the people come with a special purpose, naturally they don't know how to tell fortunes, and the two of them are not wearing Taoist clothes, so they are not professional at all, so after a long time, no guests came to the door.
After a while, the two finally welcomed their first guest.
It was a man in a scholar's uniform, who had just come out of the Paradise Place, and after seeing Li Ruozhen, he turned his head and walked towards her.
Can you attract men even if you are disguised? Lu Yuan was a little speechless. A strange idea suddenly appeared in his mind, if Li Ruozhen took off the disguise mask, it was estimated that the people who came to line up for fortune telling would be able to block the gate of Paradise.
The scholar was thin and tall, holding a folding fan in his hand, with a kind smile on his face, and asked Li Ruozhen: "This girl, do you know fortunes?" ”
"What do you say?" Li Ruozhen looked at the scholar with no expression.
"Hahaha." The scholar laughed dryly: "Also, I don't know how to tell fortunes and I won't set up a stall here, it's Xiaosheng who asks more, I don't know what things you can calculate?" ”
"Give the money first." Li Ruozhen pointed to a wooden box on the table.
"I don't know how much it costs?"
Li Ruozhen thought about it and said, "Then one or two." ”
The scholar's face changed, and he threw up his sleeves and left.
Lu Yuan, who was observing from a distance, laughed, although he didn't know why the scholar left, but it was conceivable that Li Ruozhen must have made some excessive request, or said something excessive.
As far as my senior sister is concerned, where is the material for the service industry?
After a long time, there were no customers patronizing the stall anymore, Lu Yuan looked in the direction of the fangmen, expecting Lan Liuyi's figure to appear.
About half an hour later, Li Ruozhen, who was opposite Lu Yuan, suddenly got up and went in the direction of the street, Lu Yuan was slightly puzzled, but he didn't ask more.
It didn't take long for her to walk back with a few books in her hand, Lu Yuan couldn't sit still, and walked quickly to her table, only to see that she had brought back four books, three travelogues, and one book on gods and monsters.
Lu Yuan clearly remembered that she used to only read books on solving crimes, but she didn't expect her to become more extensive before she knew it.
"Where did you get these books?" He asked.
"Of course I bought it from the bookstore." Li Ruozhen replied casually, picked up a travelogue and read it.
Lu Yuan secretly praised her twice, he was also bored, some books are always good to read.
"I'll take this one and read it." He took away the only book on gods and monsters, and Li Ruozhen replied casually, not very concerned.
After reading it for a while, Lu Yuan was quite disappointed, the book story was too weak, a bit like a religious book, and it was very boring to read.
At this moment, a carriage suddenly stopped next to Li Ruozhen's stall, and a woman stepped down from the carriage, with delicate facial features and a thin figure, it was Xue Yu who met last night.
She walked up to Li Ruozhen and said something, Li Ruozhen didn't raise her head, and pointed to Lu Yuan's side, and then Lu Yuan saw Xue Yu walking towards him.
"Du Gongzi, good morning." Xue Yu gave a salute.
Lu Yuan returned the salute and said, "You are here for your father." ”
"Yes, please also ask Du Gongzi to persuade the young lady to save my father." Xue Yu said earnestly.
"You can tell me about your father's situation first, how he was arrested and put in prison, I don't know what happened, and I can't persuade my senior sister."
Xue Yu nodded and patiently explained.
"It all started with the horse farm that a merchant named Li Xuemei sold to us."
Racecourse? Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.
Xue Yu continued: "About half a year ago, there was rumor that the largest 'Feilai Racecourse' near Hangzhou was going to be sold, and my father actively planned to buy Feilai Racecourse after learning about it.
General He was also very concerned about this matter, saying that Hangzhou's horse farm was the best in the hands of Hangzhou merchants, and with his help, our family successfully bought the 'Feilai Horse Farm'. ”
"Then two months ago, Song Hong suddenly came to our house, saying that our family's horse farm used to be a huge businessman in Hui'an Mansion, and he also dedicated nearly 10,000 horses in the horse farm to Hui'an Mansion, if the court knew about it, it would definitely arrest us and ask us for guilt!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that Qian Wanqian had indeed given himself 10,000 horses, but he didn't expect it to be brought from Hangzhou, thinking of this, he was a little more grateful to Qian Wanqian.
Xue Yu twisted his fingers and said: "My father and I gave Song Hong a large sum of money, and also transferred two shops, which blocked his mouth, who knows that it didn't take long for the government to suddenly confiscate our horse farm, and also arrested my father, saying that we colluded with Hui'an Mansion, and then I went to inquire, only to know that it was Cai Rong's ghost." ”
"Didn't you go to Cai Rong? Maybe he, like Song Hong, just wants some money. Lu Yuan said.
"Of course I did." Xue Yu gritted his teeth and said: "That guy is a jackal, he wants me to give him all the family property, and he wants me to marry him as a concubine." ”
Lu Yuan was silent, this Cai Rong is indeed more ruthless than Song Hong.
"And how do you want us to help you?" Lu Yuan asked.
