Chapter 349: Trust (2nd Update)
?
Two days later, Li Hongyu and Yang Li'er went to a small town outside Yangzhou under the leadership of Aunt Mei and entered a tavern in the town.
"Sister Mei, why do you have time to come to my small shop." Seeing this, the owner of the tavern hurriedly led them into the house in the backyard, and then said to Aunt Mei with a smile while pouring tea for everyone.
"This is the eldest lady." Aunt Mei smiled and introduced Yang Li'er's identity to the tavern owner.
"The little one has seen the big lady." The tavern owner was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Yang Li'er.
Li Hongyu was drinking tea there without a smile, he already knew from Aunt Mei that the owner of the tavern was a spy of the Cao Gang, who was responsible for collecting information on Yangzhou City, which was personally arranged by Yang Xiaotian, and only Aunt Mei knew his identity except Yang Xiaotian.
"Uncle doesn't need to be polite." A smile squeezed out of Yang Li'er's cold cheeks, and then asked, "What news has been on the market in Yangzhou in recent days?" ”
Li Hongyu couldn't help but prick up his ears when he heard this, he also wanted to know what had happened in Yangzhou City these days, so that he could make judgments and choices.
"Miss Hui, the thing that is making a lot of noise in the city now is that Lord Qincha was attacked, and it is rumored that this incident was planned by Miss Qincha, who wanted to kill Lord Qincha to avenge her parents."
The tavern owner hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice, "The Yangzhou Mansion has posted a wanted notice for the eldest lady, and anyone who reports the eldest lady's meritorious service will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." ”
"Ridiculous!" When Yang Li'er heard this, she immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, it seemed that Li Hongyu was right, this assassination incident put Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family in danger, and then she asked with concern, "What did Lord Qincha do about this?" ”
"Lord Qincha is still calm, but he just asked the identity of the assassin to be investigated, and other things don't seem to be mentioned again." The tavern owner didn't dare to slack off, and replied one by one.
"He didn't do anything against the Cao Gang?" Aunt Mei couldn't help but ask.
"It's not true, it's just that the yamen quickly investigated the case, and it didn't anger our Cao gang because of this." The tavern owner thought for a moment, then shook his head at Aunt May.
"Aunt Mei, that dog officer didn't even make a move, I don't know what idea I had in my heart." Yang Li'er felt that the situation was a little abnormal, so she asked Aunt Mei suspiciously, and she didn't understand what Lord Qincha was thinking.
Hearing Yang Li'er call him "dog official" one by one, Li Hongyu's face suddenly showed a depressed look, the reason why the stand-in just let the yamen investigate the case and did not make other moves was naturally waiting for his instructions, but because others were here, the stand-in had to continue to wait.
"It's not clear." Aunt Mei didn't understand why Lord Qincha behaved so calmly after being attacked, and shook her head helplessly at Yang Li'er, Lord Qincha's behavior was unreasonable.
"Perhaps, Lord Qincha saw the hidden meaning and didn't want to be used as a gunman." Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, put down the teacup in his hand and said to Yang Li'er, "Although you think that Lord Qincha is a 'dog official', but Lord Qincha is thoughtful and not an idle person, maybe the other party's move backfires and angers Lord Qincha." ”
"Li Gongzi is right, Lord Qincha can be admitted to the top prize and won two big victories in Liaodong, he is a powerful character, it is not as simple as we imagined." Aunt Mei agreed with Li Hongyu's words, bowed her head slightly, and said to Yang Li'er that she did not have a change in her impression of Li Hongyu, but began to try to trust Li Hongyu.
Now that I think about it, if it weren't for Li Hongyu, then Yang Li'er would have died twice now, so Aunt Mei felt that Li Hongyu could believe that she could see that Li Hongyu was a very scheming person, and at this time, such people could often help Yang Li'er.
"Miss, Zai Xia has been missing for many days, presumably the family has been in a mess, can you let Zai Xia go home and take a look and explain some things?"
Li Hongyu felt that Aunt Mei's opinion of him had changed, so after a deep groan, he said to Yang Li'er, now Naren Toya and others must be looking for him all over the world in private.
"Li Gongzi, it's inconvenient for you to leave now, if you have something to explain, you can write a letter, and someone will be sent later.
”
Without waiting for Yang Li'er to speak, Aunt Mei had already refused one step in advance, at this time she couldn't let Li Hongyu go, not to mention that Yang Li'er's whereabouts might be exposed, now Li Hongyu is a big help to Yang Li'er's side, and she can't lose it.
Li Hongyu smiled bitterly when he heard this, and a depressed look suddenly appeared on his face, he had already guessed that he would not leave so easily.
"You go, this matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, and you shouldn't be involved." At this moment, Yang Li'er suddenly spoke, stood up and bowed her hand to Li Hongyu and said, "I'm really sorry for dragging Li Gongzi down these days." ”
"Where, this is self-inflicted." A look of surprise suddenly flashed on Li Hongyu's face, and then he stood up and arched his hand to Yang Li'er and said, "Since you have encountered this matter in Xia, you will not stand idly by, go back next to find out the news, and wait for the eldest lady in Wanhuatang tomorrow night." ”
"Miss......" said, Li Hongyu turned around and walked out, Aunt Mei was immediately anxious when she saw this, once Li Hongyu left, she would not pay attention to Yang Li'er's affairs, after all, no one wanted to cause trouble, and it was a big trouble.
Without waiting for Aunt Mei to finish speaking, Yang Li'er raised her head to stop her, she had made up her mind, and Aunt Mei couldn't change it.
"Miss, now that we are struggling, you shouldn't let him go, this man is in the city government, if he is there, he can help us with advice."
Waiting for Li Hongyu to leave, Aunt Mei said anxiously to Yang Li'er, "I will now let the sea take someone to chase him and chase him back." ”
"Aunt Mei, he is my life-saving benefactor, he has nothing to do with our Cao Gang, it's too unfair to involve him, we don't need to drag him to his death, my father and mother will definitely mind if they know about it in the future."
Yang Li'er forced a smile when she heard this, "Besides, if he wanted to run, he would have run a long time ago, and the sea is not his opponent at all." ”
"Miss, are you saying he deserves our trust?" Aunt Mei came back to her senses when she heard this, and looked at Yang Li'er in surprise and asked.
"Maybe, who knows?" Yang Li'er smiled bitterly, she didn't know what was wrong with her now, but she vaguely thought that she should believe Li Hongyu.
"Miss, are you going to Wanhuatang for an appointment tomorrow?" Aunt Mei's face suddenly showed a look of concern, in case Li Hongyu betrayed Yang Li'er, then Yang Li'er would have thrown herself into the net.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" Yang Li'er bit her lip when she heard this, and said with a resolute expression, she can be said to have nothing but this life now, how can she save Yang Xiaotian and the Lu family?
Therefore, Yang Li'er can only go to Li Hongyu's appointment, so that there is a glimmer of hope, maybe Li Hongyu can come up with some good way to help her.
"Alas!" Aunt Mei sighed when she heard this, although she didn't want to admit it, Yang Li'er was now at the end of her rope, and she believed that Li Hongyu was a passive choice.
"Childe, you're back!" After entering the city, Li Hongyu rushed straight to his residence, knocked on the closed door and the guards inside were stunned for a moment, and then recognized that the person in front of him wearing a simple peasant costume was Li Hongyu, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Childe is back, Childe is back!" Li Hongyu nodded with a smile and walked into the courtyard, the guard hurriedly closed the door and ran towards the backyard while shouting.
Soon, Naren Toya rushed over in a hurry, looking haggard and looking like he couldn't sleep well in the past few days, which made Li Hongyu feel very sorry.
Naren Toya didn't care about the presence of guards around her, and threw herself into Li Hongyu's arms and cried, she was really afraid that she would never see Li Hongyu again.
Li Hongyu smiled and reached out to gently pat Naren Toya's back as a sign of comfort.
After taking a shower and changing into a new outfit, Li Hongyu ate the meals prepared in the kitchen with relish, and he didn't eat much in order to hide his whereabouts in the past two days.
"Brother Yu, where have you been these days?" Naren Toya sat on the side, looked at Li Hongyu who was feasting with her chin propped up, and asked curiously.
Since Li Hongyu was kidnapped by Aunt Mei, Naren Toya panicked, asked the guards to inquire about the news and forbade anyone to tell others about it, so as not to cause a sensation.
Although those guards tried all means, there was still no news of Li Hongyu, and when Naren Toya was in a hurry, Li Hongyu suddenly appeared.
"A trip out of town." Li Hongyu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Naren Toya without apology, "I'm worried about you." ”
"Brother Yu, someone stabbed your stand-in a few days ago, it seems that the daughter of the Cao Gang leader did it, and now I've been asking for instructions on what to do, and I have been perfunctory."
Naren Toya smiled and shook her head, then remembered something, and hurriedly told Li Hongyu, waiting for Li Hongyu to come up with an idea.
"I've heard about this and have already thought of countermeasures." Li Hongyu smiled disappreciatively, since he knew that the assassination was not in line with Yang Li'er's instigation, then the suspicion naturally fell on Zhang Tieshan, and it was obvious that the person who benefited the most from Yang Xiaotian's death was Zhang Tieshan.
"Brother Yu, this time you are not here thanks to Lian'er for helping me, otherwise I won't be able to deal with it, you have to reward her well." Seeing that Li Hongyu had already taken a countermeasure, Naren Toya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then pulled the hand of Lian'er who was standing on the side, and said to Li Hongyu with a smile.
"This official has written it down, and he will be rewarded when he returns to Beijing." Li Hongyu laughed when he heard this, and said to Lian'er, he had already guessed that it was Lian'er who helped Naren Toya support the overall situation, otherwise Yi Naren Toya would definitely be helpless, so he should give Lian'er a credit.
"The adult has won the prize, this is the servant's business." Lian'er was a little embarrassed when she heard this, fiddling with the corners of her clothes and saying, but she was very happy in her heart, Li Hongyu has always done what she said, and she will definitely be rewarded again when she returns to Beijing.
Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and secretly rejoiced in his heart that it was fortunate that Lian'er was by Naren Toya's side, otherwise things would definitely be a mess, where could Naren Toya deal with this situation.
