Volume 2 Song of the Pilgrimage Chapter 20 Capturing the Heart of "Fang".

I thought it was just a case of Wencheng Street, but who knew that it was involved in something that happened in Chu Mansion in Suzhou a few months ago. But I didn't think about it so much at the time, I just thought it was just nonsense of the nobles of the capital. But today, something strange was discovered.

The nonsense of those nobles turned out to be related to the Wencheng Street incident. The two things that have been going on for a few months are inextricably linked, and this incident on Wencheng Street is inexplicably meaningful.

"Childe, I heard a little gossip below." Zhou Shuyi took a deep breath, eased the fainting coming from his brain, and spoke.

"What's the news?" Li Xiao put the porcelain vase back in his arms. In the porcelain vase was the incense he had just taken from the house.

This kind of incense is very peculiar, different from others, although it is a misty incense, it can be dissolved in water, faint when you smell it, and you will be in a coma for several days without waking up. Fortunately, there is a medicine bottle left by Sun Miao, otherwise it would have been planted here today.

Zhou Shuyi pinched his brows to make himself comfortable, and then leaned into Li Xiao's ear and said softly: "It is said that this Wencheng Street was once under the jurisdiction of Dongchang, and it was not until recently that His Majesty was angry because of the Wencheng Street incident, so he opened this place. ”

Hearing Zhou Shuyi's words, Li Xiao frowned slightly.

According to the meaning of Zhou Shu's words, Wencheng Street has been under the control of Dongchang before his accident, in this case, on the night of his accident, Dongchang is naturally still in charge of Wencheng Street, but he did not have Dongchang that day, which makes people suspicious. But His Majesty the Emperor in the palace would not have known this, but he did not delve into it, and the reason for it was unpredictable.

What the emperor thought, he could not know. But according to the current situation, there is a lot of dust on the porcelain filled with perfume, and it must not have been deliberately placed recently, since it is not, it is related to the East Factory.

With such a scale of incense, the ability of the East Factory will never be unaware, but this porcelain has been put for so long, and it has escaped the search of the procuratorate and the East Factory, if it is not deliberately done by the East Factory, then how can it not be found.

Besides, the movement that night was not small, if it was said that it didn't alarm the East Factory, then no one could believe it.

"Zhou joins the army, let the brothers rest for a while." Li Xiao glanced at Wencheng Street, and said clearly: "The fragrance is like this, and there is no way to check it, so let's rest today." ”

Zhou Shuyi nodded, said a few words to the officials on the street, and signaled that they could take a break. Suddenly, as if relieved, a group of officials found a shady place to rest at random, some whispered, and some took advantage of this to close their eyes and rest.

Looking at the performance of these officials of Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Li Xiao didn't say anything.

He is not an official in Jing Zhaoyin's mansion, he is just a son who temporarily asked the emperor to investigate the case, and the case investigated has nothing to do with them, it is normal for these officials to behave like this. If they riveted the case, he would have to suspect that he was tired of it.

Li Xiao looked at Zhou Shuyi, who was standing with a knife, and shouted: "Zhou joins the army." ”

Zhou Shu turned his head, arched his hand, and said, "Master Li, but is there something?" ”

Since he knew Li Xiao, he knew that this sixteen-year-old boy was not an idler, although on the surface Li Xiao seemed to be an indisputable appearance, but in his bones, he was by no means a peaceful person. So when Li Xiao asked the officials to rest, he felt that there was still something to do. Sure enough, Li Xiao spoke.

"Brother Zhou, I don't know if I can take Li," Li Xiao paused, a strange look flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "Go to Dongchang?" ”

Li Xiao's words were very light, without a trace of waves, as if he was very relaxed when he said this.

But Zhou Shuyi was not, after listening to Li Xiao's words, his heart couldn't help but tighten. I secretly said in my heart, I still have to go to that place after all.

As early as when he said Dongchang, he regretted it a little. This said, how could Li Xiao not go to the East Factory. Not to mention, it's like something, isn't it a deliberate concealment to avoid the East Factory? But these news, as long as Li Xiao wants to know, he can know that it is useless to hide it after all, but it will arouse Li Xiao's suspicion, and maybe this Li Gongzi will not be involved in the matter of Wencheng Street after all.

If you don't say it's okay, if you say it, you'll get into trouble, which is really a headache.

"Brother Zhou, are you good?" Li Xiao smiled, his eyes moved slightly, and then said: "If Zhou joins the army, Li doesn't force it, forget it." ”

With that, Li Xiao turned around and sighed. sighed, hitting Zhou Shuyi's heart.

The first sentence is still Brother Zhou, which is very cordial, but the latter sentence becomes Zhou joining the army, and the tone is mixed with politeness, which seems to be estranged.

Zhou Shuyi really doesn't want to have anything to do with Dongchang, let alone Zhou Shuyi, few officials in the Haoguo court want to have anything to do with Dongchang. After all, most of the officials involved in the relationship were either in different places or screaming in the Dongchang prison for the rest of their lives.

Compared with Dongchang, he is more willing to go to the procuratorate, although the latter is also just as vicious, but at least, it is brighter than the former.

Seeing the hesitation between Zhou Shuyi's brows, Li Xiao smiled faintly, not in a hurry. Yesterday in Yonghe Yamen let Zhou Shu move to kill the assassin, has pulled him into the gang, now in the Beijing Division, Zhou Senjun is considered to have offended a nobleman, today is taking him to Dongchang, investigating the case, that Zhou Senjun also indirectly had friction with Dongchang, in this way, Zhou Senjun is basically hooked with himself, and he can't run if he wants to.

is like this, pulling Zhou Shu into the gang, it is really not bright, and I can't help but feel a little disdainful of my own behavior. But there is no way, he has no manpower in Jingshi, and there are not many people available, and the people he knows basically have a camp, and now he can only use this means.

"Zhou Senjun, as a member of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, is reluctant to have any contact with Dongchang, which is normal. Now that the East Factory is powerful, Li understands the concerns of Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Li Xiao patted Zhou Shuyi's shoulder wryly, showing regret on his face with extreme hypocrisy. In fact, I was already secretly happy in my heart. Looking at Zhou Shuyi's appearance, it is estimated that he will agree soon.

Sure enough, after a dozen hesitations, Zhou Shuyi strengthened his eyes and gritted his teeth: "Since Childe wants to go, then Zhou will accompany Childe to go." ”

It's not a fierce psychological struggle, Zhou Shuyi felt that yesterday he killed an assassin in front of everyone in Yonghe Yamen, offended some people, and he also entered Li Xiao's thief ship in a certain sense, so what does it matter if he goes to Dongchang again today, and what Li Xiao said, what is the concern of Jingzhao Yinfu. Joined the army as a member of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. He had seen how brilliant the Jingzhao Yin Mansion was in the past.

All officials in the court can be captured. Rao is the East Factory, and he is not afraid. At that time, I didn't talk about being afraid, and now I can't talk about worry. Besides, I've had enough of the bird's spirit for so many years, if you're worried about what Li Xiao said, it's better not to have this black sand on your head, it's better to leave your fate to the sky.

"Childe still needs to bring some people?" Zhou Shuyi asked.

It can be seen that although Zhou Shuyi agreed, he still had concerns, otherwise he would not have asked such a stupid question. Smiling, Li Xiao said, "No need, isn't it enough to have you go?" ”

Naturally, it's enough for two people to go, they just go to investigate the case, not to fight, what's the use of bringing too many people. Besides, they went to Dongchang, other people's territory, no matter how many people brought it, not all of them were the same, there should be something or something.

"Yes, too." Zhou Shuyi reacted, with an embarrassed face. It's useless for this person to bring too much, in front of the huge East Factory, even if they bring more people, it will not be enough for the East Factory to plug their teeth. Touching his rough chin, Zhou Shuyi then asked, "I don't know when Gongzi plans to go?" ”

"Now." Li Xiao said lightly. If you don't go now, will you have to wait for some time?

"Now?" Zhou Shuyi looked at Li Xiao with a surprised face, and said in his heart, why is this Li Gongzi so anxious, going to Dongchang, can't he have a good plan.

raised his head, and before he could speak, he saw Li Xiao walking out of the street, his white clothes swaying in the wind without any worries, and his body was also straight in the skylight.

That's how it should be, a young man.

"Li Gongzi, wait for me." Sighing, Zhou Shuyi chased after him.

Li Xiao walked very slowly, and he didn't look in a hurry.

The sky was blazing, and the darkness was scorching.

As soon as the two of them left the street, a shout came from the direction of Wan'an Temple, "Young Master, where are you going?" Chu Chu stood not far away, put his hands in front of him, and shouted loudly.

"Go to Dongchang, the road is quite far, with Zhou Shuyi and Zhou joining the army to accompany me, you can stay in Wan'an Temple, and prepare food for the young master." Li Xiao shouted loudly at the little girl, ignoring the strange eyes of the passers-by around her.

"This young man shouldn't be a fool, why do you have to shout on the street when you go to Dongchang." Passers-by thought.

Zhou Shuyi looked at Li Xiao, and subconsciously leaned to the side. He always felt that Li Xiao's behavior just now was deliberate, and he shouted on the street to go to Dongchang, why. Crucially, his name is mentioned in it. This behavior is really cheap. From today on, if you want to say that he Zhou Shuyi has nothing to do with Li Xiao, I'm afraid no one will believe it. Li Xiao's thief ship is really decided.

I had to admire this young man's methods, just two days, just two days, and tied myself to him. And he can't resist yet.

"Ugh." Zhou Shuyi couldn't help sighing. I don't know if this thief ship is right, and I don't know what the young man in front of him will achieve in the future.

"Zhou joined the army, why did you sigh, did Li do something wrong?" Li Xiao asked, a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Shuyi shook his head: "It's just that I sighed about life and felt strange melancholy." ”

Li Xiao laughed, looked up into the distance, and said chicly: "Life is short, if you are fast, you will open and close, the white horse will pass through the gap, and the slow will be together for several years." ”

"Life is short, why should Zhou join the army with emotion, why be melancholy, it is better to be fast, do what you want, and play with the people you like."

Li Xiao turned his head, and his good-looking face was full of smiles.

"That's right?"
