In June of the twenty-fourth year of Yuan Zhizheng, the envoys of Goryeo came to visit.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had just eliminated Chen Youliang and was proclaimed King of Wu.

The Goryeo envoys asked Zhu Yuanzhang for help and drove into the Jurchen tribe who had committed the crime.

Zhu Yuanzhang was preparing to concentrate his forces against Zhang Shicheng, but did not immediately respond to the request of the Goryeo envoy.

The Goryeo envoys got drunk in Shilixiang and slandered Zhu Yuanzhang with nonsense, and then disappeared.

Except for the news that Ten Lixiang is newly added, the rest are exactly the same as what Concubine Shu told Redstone back then.

Redstone was apprehensive in his heart, and the ten incense had lost his old joy in his eyes.

Redstone has a grudge against it, and a little fear at the same time.

It takes courage to uncover the scars of the past, and he puffs out softly with his cheeks.

"Little Er, call the shopkeeper out!" Redstone is expressionless, like a guest who has come to find fault.

"Guest officer, wait a minute, the little one will call immediately!" Xiao Er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed into the back hall.

Soon, a short, shrewd, smiling old man hurried into the hall.

"Guest, what do you command?" The old man's tone had a cooling effect in it, and no matter how angry the guest was, he was embarrassed to bare his face.

"You opened these ten incense sticks?"

"Guest officer, the ten incense sticks are the inheritance handed down from the ancestors."

"How many years have you been in this shop?"

"It's been more than 30 years." The old man's sparse and yellow beard stirred, and they witnessed the inheritance of the foundation.

"In June of the twenty-fourth year of Yuan Zhizheng, the Goryeo envoys got drunk and made a fuss with you, do you have any impression?" Redstone gets straight to the point.

"June ...... the twenty-fourth year" the old man narrowed his eyes, and the sharp light swept back and forth over his belongings.

He nodded suddenly, his eyes as round as beans, almost rolling out of his sockets.

"The Goryeo envoy said disrespectful words to the emperor, and when the emperor sent someone to fetch him, he had already fled. I swear to the heavens, I swear to the ancestors of the generations, and I never know where he fled! ”

The old man thought that Hongshi was from the court, and the interrogation of him ten years ago had not been put to rest, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Are the Goryeo envoys drinking in the hall or in the private room? How many people are there? Redstone didn't understand the old man, his voice was as cold as ice.

"It's the innermost room on the north side of the second floor. There were two people. ”

"Two people? Take me there! Redstone turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Guest, guest officer, wait a minute......" The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, his little eyes turned several times, and finally stopped calmly on Hongshi's face.

"There are guests in that room now, go up and say hello to him first, and let him leave immediately!"

The shopkeeper was glad that he was shrewd, and his shrewdness allowed him to escape many disasters.

If he hadn't shrewdly seen that Redstone was from the court, how could he risk offending his guests?

Now he offended a guest, but he saved his life and the inheritance of his ancestors, all thanks to shrewdness.

The guest who was coaxed away by the shopkeeper appeared at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

A huge hat covered half of his face, and he was burly and light-footed, and he went downstairs in the blink of an eye.

The shopkeeper trotted behind and made amends, and the man wearing the hat did not return his head and went out of the door.

The shopkeeper looked at his back, wondering if he had a grudge in his heart, because he walked faster than he could run.

Redstone's gaze never took off of him, and recognized him from his back.

Li Shilu!

Hongshi saw a black birthmark on the back of his earlobe, yes, his figure, the way he walked was exactly the same as Li Shilu.

He is Li Shilu! How could he be here? The person in the innermost room on the north side of the second floor turned out to be him!

Is he just here for a drink? Redstone didn't have time to think about it before the shopkeeper arrived in front of him.

"Hehe, the guest officer may be a little angry, it's okay, when you come back, I'll treat him to a meal."

The old man was smug, his abacus was never wrong, and each of his coaxes could jingle and be put into the most useful place.

"Do you know who he is? He didn't show his face. ”

"Uh...... I don't know. The shopkeeper looked at Redstone stupidly, as if he had bitten his tongue.

"Let's go." Redstone and the shopkeeper go upstairs.

The room was as clean as new, and the thoughtful shopkeeper did not forget to ask him to remove the cups and plates in this room at the moment when he passed by Xiao Er.

The faint aroma of wine lingered and refused to leave, and the shopkeeper hurriedly opened the window.

"Sit!" Redstone sat down facing the window, and the shopkeeper sat in front of the window, "You said there were two people at the time, and they were sitting like the two of us?" ”

The shopkeeper stretched out his palm perpendicular to the table and moved for a moment, as if measuring the direction: "Almost, maybe the guest officer is a little more to the right, and a little lower and more to the left." ”

"The Goryeo envoy sits in your place?"

"Yes."

"Did he escape through that window?"

"It should be. It was chaotic, but none of the guys in the store saw him coming down the stairs. ”

"Looks like there's a bit of work," Redstone whispered to herself, "What's the other guy like?" ”

"Han Chinese. He is tall and has a mighty appearance, as if he was an official. ”

"What did they both say?"

"I didn't hear this below. But one guy heard a word. ”

"What?" Redstone sat up straight.

The Goryeo envoy scolded......" The shopkeeper didn't dare to say any more, he glanced at the red stone, pursed his lips, and stared at the desktop, for fear that if he was not careful, the words on his lips would jump out.

"Say, forgive you!" Hongshi took out the majesty and style of Dali Temple.

The shopkeeper's shrewd little eyes turned several times, and each time they were able to make the most correct decision, and the shopkeeper was convinced of this.

"Your Majesty! The Goryeo envoys scolded the emperor! The shopkeeper lowered his voice and leaned forward, eager to reach Redstone's ear.

"Scolding what?"

"This ......" The shopkeeper couldn't infer that he didn't know, if the person in front of him was really an official sent by the imperial court to investigate the case, he would be guilty of deception.

But he didn't dare to say it, this kind of anti-heaven words, he felt that he would be wiped out by the Nine Clans even if he thought about it.

"The case of the Goryeo envoy is very important, if you dare to deceive ...... slightest"

Redstone gave the shopkeeper a reassuring hammer, he was really an official who came to investigate the case, and he had to tell the truth that he was the only way to survive.

"My lord," the shopkeeper changed his name at the right time, "this is all what the guy said to the villain, he has left the shop now, the villain just relayed it, the villain didn't hear it with his own ears......"

"Less nonsense, say!" Redstone has figured out the shopkeeper's temperament, and if he wants to get more, he has to be aggressive.

"The Goryeo envoy scolded the emperor," the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, and wanted to take a sip of wine to strengthen his courage, "ruthless and unjust, if you don't save Goryeo, you will regret it for the rest of your life." Also said...... The rivers and mountains of King Wu are all those of the Goryeo people. ”

The shopkeeper was relieved and gasped for air.

Redstone understood, he finally understood.

The focus of his eyes blurred, and fragments of memories and scenes he had once imagined poured down in front of him like a waterfall.

Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous of what the Goryeo envoy said, "His rivers and mountains are all the rivers and mountains of the Goryeo people", so Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't tolerate him, because he was a descendant of the Goryeo people.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......" The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, and he called out softly to Redstone.

But Redstone didn't respond, which made the shopkeeper who had opened the conversation a little anxious.

The most difficult words have already been spoken, and if other confessions are missed, won't they suffer a big loss?

"My lord, there is one more thing ......"

"Say!" Redstone came to his senses.

"The Han people who came with the Goryeo envoys are very strange."

"What's so strange?"

"The Goryeo envoy scolded, but he was indifferent and still laughing." The shopkeeper was indignant, hating himself for missing the opportunity to teach the madman a lesson on the spot.

"Did this person run away too?"

"He had already left, and he had left before the officers and soldiers arrived."

"How did the officers and soldiers know that the Goryeo envoys were drinking here?"

"There are several dignitaries next door. This was all learned later. At that time, the little one didn't know that there were Goryeo envoys in the store, and there were so many big officials. ”

"Well, what else do you know?"

"It's gone, it's really gone, that's all the little ones know."

The door on the opposite side creaked open, and Redstone glanced back.

Nong Tieshu and a man wearing a Chiyou mask walked out.

Redstone turned his head, his heart pounding, but he didn't know why.

Since one dark night a few years ago, on the street outside the Li Mansion, Nong Tieshu snatched Queen Ma's edict and wanted to get the Shennong whip from him, he has never seen Nong Tieshu again.

Nong Tieshu has not changed, she still looks so eccentric that others will never be able to guess her thoughts.

Who is the person with the Chiyou mask next to her? It seems to be very familiar.

Redstone searched every obscure memory, and he had indeed seen him! In Vasher, the capital, this man wounded Bao Tiannu and Li Zigang.

How could he be with Nong Tieshu? There is also Li Shilu, in Washer, he also met the man wearing the mask.

Nong Tieshu, Li Shilu, what is the relationship between the person wearing the Chiyou mask? How come they are all here at the same time today?

"Who's that guy with the Chiyou mask?" Redstone walked to the window and looked down, and Nong Tieshu and the masked man walked out of the door and blended in with the flow of people.

"I don't know, he always wears that mask. He kept that room all year round, and he didn't even let his buddies in. ”

Redstone's restlessness roamed the calm waters, and he knew that there was a great danger lurking beneath the surface.

Xu Miaojin and Qingnong came to meet them, Hongshi lowered his head, meditating as he walked, and did not see them.

"Redstone!" Xu Miaojin waved her little hand and ran to Hongshi's eyes excitedly.

"Ahh Redstone took a step back, and Xu Miaojin's nimble face drove away the clutter in his mind.
