At noon on the second day, a white-faced man dressed as a merchant came to the Fuxing Inn in Meng's shopkeeper under the leadership of a team of color-eyed soldiers.

After entering the inn, a man of lust led by Baihu respectfully sent the man to a private room, and then brought him to the man with a knife on the neck of the shopkeeper Meng.

"Get down on your knees, Lord Walter has something to ask you! You have to answer truthfully. The hundred-man kicked the shopkeeper Meng at the bend of his knee and kicked him to his knees.

"Yes, the little one is willing to answer!" Shopkeeper Meng didn't know what was going on at all, but these men and soldiers were not very reasonable, so they could only answer immediately.

"You're the shopkeeper here! I heard that there was a convoy of Han Chinese living in your store last night, where are those people now? Walter asked slowly.

Since he learned about this last night, coupled with the mobilization of manpower, Walter was very anxious, he was not very interested in Shang Yu's 20,000 taels of silver, but for the purpose of catching Lu Wan, as long as Lu Wan could be caught and placed under house arrest in Quanzhou Mansion, then all the businesses of the Lu family in the Fuzhejiang area could be completely controlled.

As long as this can be done, he can ask for credit in front of his uncle Saifuding, so that he can secretly control the largest merchant among the Han people in Quanzhou Prefecture, which is bound to make his uncle very happy, and it is more cost-effective than the forcible confiscation of Han property, this is Walter's conclusion after several thoughts.

"My lord, are you talking about the second lady of the Nalu family's wedding team? They set off early in the morning before dawn, replenished some food and water bags from the inn and headed for Yongchun County, their leader was a young steward, why did the adults ask about this? Shopkeeper Meng knelt on the ground and replied truthfully.

"I see? Looks like I could have made it in time if I had left early! Come on, put this shopkeeper in the town's dungeon! Walter nodded with satisfaction immediately after hearing this.

The 100 households immediately agreed, and took out a rope from behind him to prepare? Tie up the shopkeeper of Meng.

Shopkeeper Meng immediately struggled to his feet in horror and said, "May I ask this lord, what crime have I committed?" Why did you arrest me? This kind of brainless thing completely frightened him, and the white-skinned man in front of him suddenly asked about the Lu family's wedding process, and at this time, he was going to detain him in prison, how could he not be surprised.

"The Lu family has evaded taxes for many years, as many as millions of taels, and the king of Saifuding only learned about this yesterday, and the Lu family fled to the sea, only the second lady of the Lu family left by land, if you don't report it, Lord Ben will naturally punish you! Take it down, and if you resist, cut it immediately! Walter said immediately.

The hundred-hundred-household immediately agreed, and kicked the weak place between the abdomen of the shopkeeper Meng, only to hear the shopkeeper Meng's shout like a pig-killing, and then fell to the ground, and the hundred-householder immediately skillfully tied him up.

"What a small wrong! Before the official government has arrived, how can I know that the second lady of the Nalu family is already a guilty person? Please let me go? The little ones are willing to be cows and horses for you. Shopkeeper Meng endured the severe pain in his abdomen, and knelt on the ground without daring to resist and said.

"Shut up! Humble Han people, pull him out, if again? And he slashed him. Walter said impatiently.

Shopkeeper Meng immediately closed his mouth, his face turned pale, and he thought desperately in his heart: "The Semu people are even more domineering than Yuan Dog!" I was arrested and imprisoned for this reason. ”

The Baihu called in two soldiers from outside and escorted the shopkeeper Meng out.

"My lord, how should this shopkeeper deal with it?" After the shopkeeper Meng was escorted out, this hundred households did not leave but asked.

"It's easy! Starve to death in the dungeon, this inn is good! In the future, it will be ours, this store is the largest inn in Longwang Town, there are many merchants coming and going, and it is really good as a place to collect information! Walter said triumphantly.

After hearing this, the hundred households immediately bowed down and agreed, only to hear Walter say again: "You send a person to take over this shop, I will immediately go out of the town and bring people to hunt down the key criminals of the Lu family, if the second miss of the Lu family is arrested this time, she will be temporarily imprisoned in Longwang Town!" ”

"Wooden fish! Why don't you go from Yongchun to the road through Fuzhou, and go down from the road of Yongchuan, which is hundreds of miles away! Ever since he saw the contents of the paper that the dart had nailed, Lu Wan had completely changed as if he had changed to another person, and his face was not only not dull, but also brightened.

At this time, she was pointing to the topographic map drawn by Shang Yu and asking Shang Yu, and on the side, Ying'er watched Lu Wan with her hand on Shang Yu's shoulder, sitting in the carriage and looking at the map with Shang Yu, she couldn't help but stop talking, but she was secretly surprised in her heart.

"Seeing that the second lady hugged the business manager yesterday, do they have a personal relationship? Phew, that's not something my little girl should be guessing about. Thinking of this, Ying'er couldn't help but stop herself from this idea in her heart.

"Xiao Wan! Oh, Second Miss! After Shang Yu said the wrong name, he immediately changed his words, raised his head and looked at Xiao Ying nervously, and then continued: "From Yongchun to Fuzhou, it will still pass through the area controlled by the Semu people, and through Yongchuan County to the north, it will still be the area controlled by the officials and soldiers, which is the safest line in the trade route. ”

"Through Dehua, Datian, Nanping, Jianyang, Pucheng, Tonglu first-line official road, you can go directly to Hangzhou, then we can transfer to the boat to the north, directly to Suzhou House, when the speed of the boat will be much faster than the carriage, although the distance is more, but from the time may be faster a few more days! That's why I chose this path. Shang Yu said this, and a smile appeared on his face, because he heard the sweet smell of Lu Wan's body in his nose.

Although he didn't know how to solve the matter between Lu Wan and him, he finally didn't have to return to Quanzhou Mansion, and there were only two lines of words written on the paper, but it immediately made Lu Wan as cheerful as before.

"Muyu, you still think about it! When Zhou Zhuang sees his aunt, she can tell me about my mother's whereabouts, my mother is bound to still be in the world, and then" Lu Wan wanted to say that he could get together with his mother, and then dissolve the marriage contract with the Shen family, so that he could go to Yangzhou with Shang Yu, but when he wanted to say this, he suddenly saw Di Ying'er beside him, and his face was slightly red.

When Shang Yu heard this, his heart warmed, but thinking of the difference between his identity and Lu Wan, this kind of relationship is out of place after all, even if he succeeds in marrying the Shen family, he Shang Yu is just a steward of the Lu family, what identity can he be worthy of the second miss of the Lu family?

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said, "Second Miss! I've been called into the car by you for a quarter of an hour, and now that I've explained the matter, I'll have to go out to avoid suspicion. What he meant was to get out of the cart and still ride on horseback.

"Since you have to do this, then go! Ying'er, take the stove at the back of the car, and I'll give it to the business manager to keep out the cold. Only then did Lu Wan slowly drop his hand from Shang Yudi's shoulder, and turned his head to Ying'er and said.

Although Ying'er was not very old, she had already guessed in her heart when she saw the changes in the faces and eyes of Lu Wan and Shang Yu, and when she heard Lu Wan's words, she hurriedly agreed to go to the box at the back of the car, and took the stove.

"Although it is noon at this time, the wind outside the car is not small, if there is a hearth, the business manager will naturally be much warmer! The second lady's behavior has exceeded the master's concern for his subordinates! Ying'er thought as she opened the box and took the hearth.

And when Ying'er went to fetch things and turned her back to Shang Yu, Lu Wan suddenly leaned forward and gently kissed Shang Yu's lips, like a dragonfly dotting water, and instantly withdrew again, and then looked at Shang Yu and whispered: "You dead wood fish, damn thief, you still have to say to avoid suspicion!" There was a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

That look in Shang Yu's eyes was clear: "I have violated my innocence several times, and I actually said that I want to avoid suspicion!" This kiss made Shang Yu even more confused in his heart.

Lu Wan took the initiative so much, he was already surprised, and at this moment, he heard Xiao Yingdi's voice coming: "Business manager, the second lady really cares about you so much, she actually asked me to take this furnace for you, huh!" Take it. ”

As she spoke, Xiao Ying handed a furnace to Shang Yu, separating Lu Wan from Shang Yu, but her eyes were staring at Shang Yu with a smile.

Shang Yu glanced at Xiao Ying a little strangely, and then said, "Thank you, Second Miss, then I'll go out." After speaking, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a cold wind passed into the carriage outside the car, and then the door curtain fell, and calm returned to the carriage.

After Shang Yu got out of the carriage, he untied the reins of the horse tied to the carriage and turned over on the horse, but at this time, he heard the car Ying'er ask Lu Wan softly: "Second Miss! It's really strange, why did the rouge on your mouth run to the mouth of the business manager, do you have a personal relationship? ”

After hearing this, Shang Yu couldn't help but be frightened and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly put the furnace in his hand into his arms, and hurriedly raised his hand and wiped it on his mouth a few times, looking at the back of his hand, there was really a slight carmine mark, and said in his heart: "It's so dangerous!" It wouldn't be good if you let other people or dart masters see it! ”

He knew in his heart that Xiao Yingdi's voice was so low that he couldn't even hear the driver in front of him, that is, he could hear it with such ear power, and he could wipe the marks on his lips in time.

In the car, Lu Wan immediately covered Ying'er's mouth, blushed and whispered in her ear: "Ying'er, don't talk nonsense!" It would be great if anyone else knew! ”

Ying'er was a little out of breath, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, and motioned for Lu Wan to take her hand away.

Lu Wan let go of his hand and said, "Xiao Ying! As long as you don't talk nonsense, I can let you little devil be with Namu Thirteen in the future! ”

After entering the main hall of Yunzhen Temple in Quanzhou Prefecture, a masked woman dressed in white knelt on the ground and begged for Master Jingnan and said, "Uncle! I beg you to allow me to leave Quanzhou for a while, and I want to personally escort Xiao Wan to his husband's house, and then I will return as soon as possible. ”

"Amitabha! I didn't expect that you are still greedy for Hongchen for more than ten years, and you can't forget her! Go, you don't have to go back to Quanzhou, you can go back to Emei Mountain directly afterwards! Master Pure Tribulation sat on the futon, and said slowly with a soft light in his eyes.

"Thank you for your answer! Dusty is here to bow to you and say goodbye. As she spoke, the woman in white knelt on the ground with her palms folded together and bowed respectfully three times before she stood up, and after a soft whistle, the figure disappeared into the hall.

"Amitabha! The desire for power, when will she be able to break it? The soft light in the eyes of the pure tribulation still flickered.

It is unreasonable for a woman in white to commit herself to the temple, and it seems that she is Lu Wan's mother when she listens to her words, but why didn't she recognize her daughter yesterday? And what happened back then that caused their mother and daughter to be separated and never see Lu Weixuan and his wife again?
