At the beginning of the shift, Gongsun Lan returned safely with the signed contract, Li Xin'er started to cook some porridge and rice, and the three of them ate some hastily, and discussed for a long time under the lamp, until the drum sounded in the third watch, and then went back to the room to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was dawn, Wang Yuan got up, washed up and went to the front hall to see Li Shizhi. When he arrived at the front hall, he found a large group of people carrying lanterns going out from the east gate, Wang Yuan pulled a servant and asked, "What happened early in the morning?" ”

The servant said disdainfully: "Xiangye went to the early court, what can happen?" ”

Wang Yuan suddenly, but forgot about this stubble, although Xuanzong did not go to the court every day, but he did not abolish the early dynasty, and occasionally ascended to the palace to discuss matters, Li Shizhi and others were going to get up in the morning court, and they unfortunately caught up today.

There was no way, so he could only wait for Li Shizhi to come back at noon and then go to say goodbye, Wang Yuan turned around and walked back, to hear someone behind him shouting: "Is it Erlang?" ”

Wang Yuan turned around to look, but it was Liu Xun who turned around from the door with the lantern, and hurriedly came to Wang Yuan's side and said with a smile: "Erlang has figured it out?" That's right, you should also follow the left phase to get acquainted with each other, and in the morning when the left phase goes to court, he will also come to send it, at least like a curtain guest. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Liu got up early to send Zuo Xiang to the court, right?" ”

Liu Xun blew out the lantern and handed it to the servant next to him, and said with a smile: "Yes, Zuo Xiang just got into the carriage and left, you need to get up early tomorrow morning, or I can send someone to wake you up." ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "Mr. Liu, I really don't hide it, I plan to come to Zuo Xiang to say goodbye, so I have to wait for Zuo Xiang to come back at noon." ”

Liu Xun was stunned for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Hey, I knew that there was such a day, it seems that you are not comfortable here, and the old man is helpless." But the old man still has to say a few words, don't you think about yourself? ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. Liu for your concern, I don't tell lies, I'm a little unruly, and I am definitely not very satisfied with Zuo Zuo." When you invited me from Yong'an Fang, you also gave me a chance, and you were also kind to me, and I am grateful to Zuo Xiang and you, Mr. Liu, from the bottom of my heart. It's not that I don't know how to be grateful, but there are some things here that can't be explained, and it's better for me to leave consciously than to be driven out of the house by Zuo Xiang. ”

Liu Xun was surprised: "How can you have such an idea? How could the left minister drive you out of the house? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, you are a good person, but you can't hide things, I won't find out some things, and it's better to tacitly do it, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”

Liu Xun looked at Wang Yuan in a daze for a long time and said: "It seems that you do know something, hey, I also told you directly with Zuo Xiangyan about that matter, but Zuo Xiang has other plans, and I have nothing to do." Speaking of which, the old man can't stand you, and the old man has nothing to say if you want to leave, but since you know the inside story, you should know that leaving the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is a dangerous thing, so why not think about it in the long run? ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Liu finally said it, which made me have a lot of good impression of Mr. Liu, and finally I made a friend in Zuo Xiangfu." Don't worry, since I dare to leave, I have a way to deal with it. ”

Liu Xun hesitated and said, "Is there a way to deal with it? I'm afraid it's hard to deal with, I can't prevent it, the old man is really afraid that bad news will come to you one day. ”

Wang Yuan leaned close to Liu Xunzhi's ear and whispered, "Mr. Liu, don't worry, haven't you always wanted to know if what happened that night had something to do with me?" I can answer you now, it was indeed me who was arrested by Jin Wuwei Wuhou that night, but unfortunately they didn't have that ability, didn't I come back safely? ”

Liu Xun looked at Wang Yuan in a daze and said: "However, the six corpses in Jinchang Fang, Chen Miaoer in Pingkang Fang was hanged on the street......

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded: "It's all my ......"

Liu Xunzhi was stunned for a long time, and suddenly raised his big finger and praised in a low voice: "It's amazing, it's really you, it's very relieved, even Zuo Xiang has never dared to have such drastic means." You've got a helper, don't you? ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "How do you know? ”

Liu Xun groaned for a long time and said in a low voice: "That's it, I don't want to hide it from you, you regard me as a friend, and I should also exchange courtesies." The identities of the two women beside you have aroused Zuo Xiang's suspicions, and Zuo Xiang suspects that one of them is a mysterious spy who Li Linfu vigorously pursued on the night of Shangyuan this year......"

Wang Yuan's forehead was sweating, and he said in a low voice: "Does Zuo Xiang have conclusive evidence?" ”

Liu Xun said straightly: "That's not true, speculation." I said that I can't help Zuo Xiang, but I don't want you to be in the dark, hey, I've been following Zuo Xiang for nearly ten years, and I've been getting more and more disheartened recently, and I don't know what's wrong with me? ”

Wang Yuan looked at Liu Xunzhi's wrinkled face, his heart moved, and he said softly: "Mr. Liu treats me very much Wang Yuan is very moved, I have a word to Mr. Liu." Mr. Liu should also find a way back for himself, I don't slander Li Zuoxiang, but this person is small, hypocritical, and difficult to convince the public in character, and he will die sooner or later with Li Linfu. Although I don't know why Mr. Liu and Zuo Xiang got married, but after you saddled the horse by his side for more than ten years, even if you have repaid how much kindness you have, make more plans for yourself. ”

Liu Xunzhi frowned and said: "What is this called, you can leave, why do you want to separate the relationship between me and Zuo Xiang?" How can I be that kind of person? ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "That's it, when I didn't say that it will be useful to my Wang Yuan in the future, even if Mr. Liu speaks, I will do my best to help." In this way, I will go back and write a letter to ask you to take Zuo Xiang's resignation, I am afraid that my face-to-face resignation will tear my face and it will not be beautiful, so I will move out of Zuo Xiang's mansion in the morning. ”

Liu Xunzhi said with a dark expression: "That's what I said, I'm worried that Zuo Xianggong will also scold when you resign, it's not good to make trouble, it's better not to see each other, although you leave a book and resign in etiquette, but it's better than making a fuss and turning your face." By the way, have you ever found a place to live? Where to stay? I'll have a carriage ready to move for you in a moment. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Then there is no need, I have already arranged everything, and I will call a carriage at the corner gate to pull three people and a few packages, there is no need to stir up the army, and it will cause unnecessary speculation if everyone knows it." Don't worry, I won't take anything from the house that doesn't belong to me. ”

Liu Xunzhi frowned and said, "Why do you say this?" Who is worried that you Erlang will not succeed in stealing things? ”

Wang Yuan sighed: "But yesterday, when we went out, someone turned over the cabinet in my cousin's room, but I didn't lose anything, and I don't know if the gentleman on the beam calculated that we were not at home and ran to get the key to open the cabinet and secretly look for something, hey." ”

Liu Xunzhi was stunned: "Are you saying that someone took the key to open the cabinet?" ”

Wang Yuan said lightly: "That's it, I didn't lose anything." ”

Liu Xunzhi sighed and said softly: "Sigui has a set of keys to the mansion in his hand...... It's just that...... Ay...... How could he do that? Ay...... It must be...... It must have been enshrined...... Don't say anything, the old man is ashamed. ”

Wang Yuan looked at Liu Xunzhi who sighed and mourned, he believed that this matter had nothing to do with Liu Xunzhi, and sure enough, there was a set of keys in Liang Sigui's hands, so Liang Sigui definitely didn't want to be a thief, he must have been ordered by Li Shizhi. Combined with the fact that Li Shizhi suspected the identities of Li Xin'er and Gongsun Lan revealed by Liu Xunzhi just now, it must be that Li Shizhi wanted to find some evidence, so he did this despicable method.

Wang Yuan was glad that he was able to leave here immediately, and even the slightest apology for not being able to resign in person was gone. Although he is not hostile to Li Shizhi, from now on, even if Li Shizhi falls in front of him and eats, he will not bother to help him.

……

Back in the house, Gongsun Lan's master and apprentice had also finished freshening up, and was busy packing up the packages, Wang Yuan entered a room and hurriedly wrote a farewell letter, a few words, all polite words, and the rest were not mentioned, and ordered someone to send it to Liu Xunzhi.

Then he went out and called a carriage to stop at the gate of the south corner, and asked two servants to help carry the things onto the carriage; The clothes were very light, and the main fifty copper coins were very heavy, and it was necessary to carry the boxes of money onto the carriage. After giving the servant a reward, Wang Yuan got on the carriage, glanced at the Zuo Xiangfu, who had been infinitely longed, and never looked back.

After the carriage left, Liu Xun appeared on the doorstep stairs, arched his hand towards the back of the carriage, and muttered, "Wang Erlang, take care." ”

……

When the sun rose, the carriage arrived at the mouth of the alley southeast of Jing'anfang, and the three of them moved their things out of the car and walked towards the desolate mansion, moving all the things to the courtyard in front of the deserted house, Wang Yuan was already tired and sweating.

Li Xin'er frowned and looked at the deserted house in a daze: "How can you live in this place, do you want to sleep here tonight?" Are there really no ghosts? I don't think it's weird here, and the crows in the trees are annoying. ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "I think you are as noisy as those crows." "Reach out and grab a handful of mud pills from the ground and wave them out, and I heard a crow scream, empty feathers, and a few crows on the dead tree were shot down.

Li Xin'er stuck out her tongue, and Wang Yuan said apologetically: "You guys rest, I'll tidy up a room and come out, there must be a place to stay tonight." I remember that a pavilion on the edge of the vestibule was quite intact, and it was enough to block the surrounding windows to settle down temporarily. I'm going to find someone tomorrow to help tidy up the courtyard. ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "Who is willing to help us?" Don't forget that this is a haunted house. ”

Wang Yuan patted his thigh and said: "Oh, I forgot about this stubble, this is troublesome, it's better like this, let's go find the inn and settle down first, and then move in after I tidy up." ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said, "No need, let's do it ourselves, wasn't it a barren grass when I bought the plum garden?" The house that I renovated myself is more satisfying and more comfortable to live in. This is not the most worrying thing, but what I am most worried about now is that I don't know when these treasure diggers will suddenly appear, so we have to be prepared. ”
