Chapter 18: Confusing

Li Ji's current mood can only be described by the word regret, he knew that this Cheng Yu and Zhao Yun were familiar with each other, even if he gave him two more dares, he didn't dare to come over to make trouble, but now it was too late.

"Childe forgive me, this is all a misunderstanding, the villain doesn't know that Mr. Cheng is a friend of Zhao Gongzi," Li Ji covered the wound on his chest with his right hand, and said weakly, if it weren't for two subordinates behind him to support him, he might not even be able to stand steadily.

Where do you dare to worry about the jade pendant in Cheng Yu's hand now, I have already forgotten about it, and I will take someone to retreat downstairs after speaking.

Seeing that Li Ji was about to leave, Zhao Yun opened his mouth and stopped him: "Slow! ”

Li Ji stopped his steps, turned around and asked, "What else does Zhao Gongzi command?" But in his heart, he was quite worried, thinking that he didn't want to let himself go like this?

Zhao Yundao: "Although I have some suspicions with the adults of your family, they are all trivial matters, not to mention that the adults of your family are now dead, as the saying goes, death is great, and the insignificant suspicions between me and him have been revealed." ”

"But after all, I have known each other, and I also want to help as much as I can, since you are here, I can't let you return in vain."

When Li Ji heard this, he was overjoyed: "The villain listens to the advice." "Zhao Kang was angry at this time because of his brother's violent death, if he didn't give him a satisfactory explanation, he would have to suffer a little flesh and skin.

Zhao Yun said: "I heard that the 'Xiangmanlou' was empty overnight, yes or no?" ”

Although Li Ji didn't understand why Zhao Yun had this question, he still replied: "That's true, when we received the news and rushed over to seal it, the people in 'Xiangmanlou' were indeed gone. ”

Zhao Yun had the charming and mysterious Yan Ju in his mind, as well as the other three Oiran who were as famous as Yan Ju and had never met, and he didn't believe that there was no secret room in 'Xiangmanlou'. Where there is a secret room, there are secrets, and people can go, but many clues can't be walked.

So he retorted: "In my opinion, this is not necessarily the case, and sometimes what I see with my own eyes may not be the truth." Just imagine, how can a huge 'fragrant building' really be empty overnight. ”

Li Jihu asked, "What does Childe mean?" ”

Zhao Yun said: "One night is so short, people can go, but the building can't be empty." ”

"'Xiangmanlou' has been in business for many years, there will inevitably be places like secret rooms and secret passages, you can search carefully and find the secret room, even if there is no one inside, there will be things or clues that they can't take away, and there may even be people who will turn back because of this, not necessarily."

After saying this, Cheng Yu on the side looked sideways, and looked at the young boy in front of him again.

"The villain thanks Zhao Gongzi for his advice, if you get something, you will not forget it," Zhao Yun said, the head was the way, Li Ji suddenly opened up when he heard it, and after saluting, he ordered his subordinates, "Let's go, let's go back to the 'Xiangmanlou' quickly, and dig three feet into the ground to find some clues." ”

After speaking, he led the people away, and he really came and went in a hurry.

Zhao Yun didn't stop them this time and let them leave. The reason why he did this was not to help Li Ji, but to try the trick of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf.

If Li Ji really finds the secret room, 'Xiangmanlou' will inevitably lose.

The mysterious 'Xiangmanlou' suffered a loss and suffered a big loss, and he will definitely not swallow his anger, and he will be completely involved with the Zhending Mansion.

At that time, Zhao Kangding will be anxious, and he will have no time to take care of him, and it will not affect him Zhao Yun's head if they fight or die, if Zhao Kang can hang up because of this, it will be the best.

Zhao Yun is also happy to be idle, after all, Zhao Fan was killed by him, if Zhao Kang knows the truth, it will be one more trouble.

After Li Ji left, many drinkers also left one after another, and there were only a few people left in the hall on the second floor, which was not full, and it was very empty. Thinking about it, being made so troubled, who still has Yaxing to continue drinking.

was interrupted by Li Ji's abrupt interruption, and Zhao Yun, who was originally waiting for Cheng Yu's reply, was not able to force him to express his position immediately.

He opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Zhongde is not busy making decisions first, I will be in the county seat before today's unitary hour, if Mr. makes a decision, he can go to the 'Huisheng Medicine Hall' to find me." ”

"If it is still undecided today, after you make a decision, you can come to Changshan Zhaojiazhuang to find me, and report my name when the time comes."

After speaking, Zhao Yun saluted Cheng Yu with a fist, turned around and was about to leave with Gao Shun and the others.

As for the superb jade pendant, Zhao Yun didn't say a word, didn't look at it, and didn't have the slightest intention of coming back. On the side, Chen Jiang looked at Yu Pei, and then at Zhao Yun, and the way he wanted to speak and stopped, it was very funny.

"Wait!" Stopped Zhao Yun and the four people who had already walked to the staircase, and said, "Childe loves Cheng Mou so much, how can I let Childe down?" "Apparently Cheng Yu has already made a decision.

Whether it is Zhao Yun's identity or wealth, he weighs the pros and cons, he is not a loss for himself, there is a two-month buffer period, why not give it a try, anyway, he has nothing to lose.

Thinking about it, Cheng Yu received the warm jade in his hand into his arms.

Unable to eat hot tofu in a hurry, Zhao Yun was originally going to leave first, so as not to give Cheng Yu a bad impression of being aggressive. But at this time, he received Cheng Yu's affirmative reply, and his heart suddenly showed ecstasy.

"Mr. Chung-tak! You promised? That's great! With Cheng Yu's help, he is full of confidence in the future.

As for saying two months later, jokes! Since he had already gotten on his own boat, Zhao Yun didn't plan to let him go down. Even if you really leave, it will be temporary, and if you have a good relationship now, you can still be recalled in the future.

"Shopkeeper! Haven't you cooked yet? Hurry up and serve. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhao Yun felt that he was hungry, and then he realized that he and the others hadn't eaten all morning.

"Okay! Here comes the dish! Shopkeeper Liu didn't dare to slack off, and the busy little guy hurriedly served the food.

Soon, the dishes were ready, and Zhao Yun ordered Gao Shun and the three of them to sit down and eat together.

Under the push of the cup and the change of lamp, several people can be said to have eaten happily. Gao Shun was the only one who didn't drink, and he couldn't see his joy with a straight face.

........

Zhending goes south through Lu County, and more than 40 miles away from the Hu River is Yuanshi County.

As the seat of Changshan Country, the Yuan clan is naturally prosperous. As the symbol and landmark of the ruler of Changshan Kingdom, Changshan Wangfu stands in the best part of Yuanshi County.

At this time, in the back garden of the palace, two people were talking.

One is a noble lady dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a graceful posture, her hair coiled up, and a mandarin duck hairpin, but her face is covered with a silk scarf, and she can't see her appearance. At this time, she was carefully watering the flowers.

The other person was kneeling on the ground, and I saw her wearing an orange dress, with a beautiful face, even if she didn't smile at this time, it was difficult to hide her natural charm. If Zhao Yun was here at this time, he would be able to recognize this woman as the Yanju of the 'Xiangmanlou'.

The noble lady watered the flowers and said, "Are you saying that Zhao Fan did not die of madness immediately, nor did he die of your maiden mind?" "The sound is like a yellow warbler out of the valley, very good.

For the Weng master, who is nearly fifty years old and can still maintain it so well, Yanju is very envious.

But in front of Lord Weng, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to Lord Weng, that's exactly the case, Zhao Fan bled when he died, which was very weird, not like a normal death." ”

"At that time, my subordinates confirmed it on Zhao Fan's corpse, and they didn't find anything like a hidden weapon, and from the too strange way of death, it was inferred from the subordinates that it was very likely that he died of poisoning."

"It's not poisoning," Lord Weng had just finished watering a basin of 'Seven Sons', and then turned his gaze to another basin of 'Red Plain', "This seat has just received the news, and after an autopsy, no poison has been found. ”

"This.... Lord Weng, maybe it's some kind of strange poison, and he can't even detect it, and maybe he can't say it. Yan Ju was a little panicked, if Zhao Fan was not poisoned, then the organization might suspect her, and the losses brought by this time would also be borne by her.

"Huh? You can't believe the news of this seat? Lord Weng stopped watering at this time, turned his head to look at Yanju, and said unhappily.

"The subordinates don't dare!" This change suddenly frightened Yanju and hurriedly confessed, "Lord Weng forgives his sins, and his subordinates have no doubt about Lord Weng's intentions." ”

"Humph! Forgive me for not daring. Although he was angry, the voice of the owner was still very pleasant, "Okay, I know that you have nothing to do with this matter, but if you dare to commit a crime in our chassis, it will bring us a great loss, and this matter must also be investigated." ”

"Yes! The subordinates will definitely find out this matter personally! Hearing that the owner of Weng did not doubt himself, Yanju was relieved, and a boulder fell to the ground in her heart.

The lord put down the water scoop, walked slowly into the distance, and left a sentence before leaving: "You don't care about this matter, someone will find out, you just need to go and bring back the things in the secret room of the 'Xiangmanlou'." ”

Seeing that Lord Weng was far away, Yan Ju Fang dared to get up, looked behind Lord Weng, and saluted respectfully: "Yes!" Commanded! After speaking, the orange figure flashed and disappeared.

It's summer, and the back garden is full of flowers, butterflies and bees fluttering among the flowers, and the whole picture is extremely beautiful, as if it had always been the case, and no one had ever been here before.

.............

The Changshan Fan family is a family of casters, specializing in creating all kinds of weapons for sale, to paraphrase a name in later generations, that is, arms dealers.

Although the Fan family is not as famous as the Zhao family, it is also quite famous, and Zhao Jiazhuang has always been good friends, and in order to deepen the relationship, the two families have set up in-laws.

But the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that the head of the Fan family would suddenly die, and the eldest son Fan Li would succeed to the throne, which made the relationship between the two families suddenly off the rails.

After Fan Li succeeded to the throne, he first let people out, saying that the medicine of Huisheng Yaotang killed the old master, and then he went to Zhaojiazhuang to withdraw from the marriage, and then made an in-law with the new monarch of Zhending.

But because of this, the rising tide has made the Fan family a real upstart, among the upper class families, and the scenery is infinite for a while.

At this time, Zhao Yun and his entourage, a total of five people, appeared in front of the courtyard of the Fan family's office in Zhending County, looking at the ancient style of carved beams and paintings, coupled with the huge stone Pixiu on both sides of the door, it was quite imposing.

After leaving the 'No Return Restaurant', Zhao Yun asked Chen Jiang to hire a carriage and came here by car. After all, there is one more Cheng Yu now, and the distance is not close, and Zhao Yun is not as close as before.

"Stop! Who are you? ”

As soon as they arrived at the gate of Fanfu, Zhao Yun and the five of them were stopped by two powerful guards. Looking at their domineering appearance, it is really that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate there is.

Zhao Yun didn't bother to bother with them, stretched out his hand to signal Liu Yin and Chen Jiang, who were about to have a seizure, not to be impulsive, and said: "You go in and report to your family master, just say that Zhao Yun of Zhaojiazhuang came to him to discuss something important." ”

"You're Zhao Yun!" When the two guards heard that Zhao Yun had reported his identity, his face suddenly changed, and he drank: "Okay, you Zhao Jiazhuang killed our old master, and you dare to come to the door to send him to death!" As he spoke, he beckoned to the doorman on the other side, "Leizi, you go in and call someone, and we will take down these guys, so that we can ask for credit from the new master." ”

"Okay, you guard it first." The man who was called Lei Zi answered, and then turned and ran towards the courtyard gate.

Seeing that these guards were so unreasonable, Zhao Yun didn't bother to talk nonsense with them at this time, and he didn't need Gao Shun and the three of them to make a move.

Zhao Yun took a heavy step forward and exuded his spiritual sense.

Hum~!! Bang bang!

But after listening to two muffled snorts, the fierce doorman and Leizi, who had just stepped into the courtyard gate, fell straight down, and they had already fainted.

This time, it shocked the four people, including Gao Shun and Cheng Yu, and Zhao Yun also intended to act in front of the four of them this time, so that they could see their own methods.

What kind of martial arts did Zhao Yun perform? Gao Shun and the others had never seen it, which made Zhao Yun even more mysterious in their minds.
