Chapter 146: A Little Thing
Chang Lichang thought that Song Cai had set fire to Hao Wei, so he quietly sent one hundred taels to Hao Wei as agreed. Song Caizheng needed money, so he didn't say much, so he accepted it.
After a few days, after Song Cai's body basically recovered, he didn't want a house with four walls, but just took his clothes and left with his wife and children on a star-sparse night in a month. He went to a distant relative, used the money to buy a field and build a house, and his wife gradually returned to normal, and the family lived a peaceful and peaceful life ever since.
Although this case is over in this way, for Leng Yi, it is not over yet. The Su family's bullying in Erjin Village couldn't be left alone, he had to find a way to stop it. It is unrealistic to rely on the Liao Governor's Mansion, and the Liao Governor's Mansion cannot stand up to the power of the Su family. Leng Yi thought of Cheng Luojie. She is Queen Kaibao's bodyguard, and it seems that Queen Kaibao is also very good to her, if she can stab the Su family with all kinds of evil things to the queen, she may be able to bring down the Su family.
If the Su family's officials in the capital are overthrown, this case will be closed, and the Su family will no longer be able to oppress the villagers.
However, he didn't know where Cheng Luojie was now, and he couldn't go directly to Beijing to find her. However, there is one person who may be able to find her. This person is Bai Hong.
That night, Leng Yi put on a mask and came to Xinghuang Restaurant.
The guy at the restaurant immediately recognized him, was startled, and hurriedly came up with a smile on his face, and said, "Master Hei, you are here." β
Leng Yi said: "Is Master Bai here?" β
"In! Please sit upstairs, and the small one will invite Bai Ye to go. β
After that, the guy led Leng Yi upstairs, still pouring fragrant tea in the innermost private seat. Then he pulled the door open and retreated.
After a while, the door creaked open, and Bai Hong, still dressed in white, appeared at the door. Although she was wearing a mask, she could not see her expression, but in her extraordinarily bright eyes, she saw joy.
Bai Hong sat down opposite Leng Yi in her robe, using her original female voice: "You're here!" ββWhere have you been all these days? I heard that you have a private visit to Weifu, but I have searched all over the Yin Tomb, and there is no trace of you. β
"What are you looking for me to do? I said I quit your organization. β
"I came to you to tell you that the person who paid my organization to kill you has revoked the commission to kill you. That said, at least, you don't have to worry about my organization assassinating you. β
"Thank you!" Leng Yi knew from this result that the purpose of entrusting Bai Hong to organize the assassination of himself should also be for the treasure they suspected of him. Now, the baby has appeared elsewhere and proved that he is not here, so this person has canceled the commission.
"You came today to figure out what to do with that task, didn't you?"
Leng Yi shook his head and said, "I'm here to ask you for help." β
"What's the matter?"
"I used to follow the female catcher who protected me, do you have a way to know where she is?"
Bai Hong looked at him: "I can find her, but you have already chosen to withdraw from my organization, and I can't use the power of the organization to help you find it!" Unless you rejoin my organization. β
Leng Yi had already thought of this result, and said, "It's not inevitable for me to rejoin, but I still won't take that task." β
Bai Hong didn't expect Leng Yi to agree to this request so happily, and was very happy, and said, "I will not force anyone in the organization to accept any task, everything is voluntary." β
"That's good! I rejoined. β
"Thank you! I really hope you'll think about that task, though. β
"You said that the person who commissioned the organization to kill me has now decided not to kill me. Is it necessary for me to kill him? β
"Of course it's not necessary, but it's a very tempting bounty quest, and if you complete this quest, you won't be able to spend all the money you earn in your lifetime!"
"That's got to have a life flower. The more bounty, the greater the danger, I am a very contented person, and now the money is enough for me to spend. β
"Who is afraid of having a lot of money? All you have to do is ......"
"Needless to say, I don't have that interest right now."
"Okay, I won't advise you. When you figure it out, just let me know. Anytime. β
Leng Yi diverted the topic and said, "How long will it take for you to find the female catcher who originally protected me?" β
"I'll do it as soon as possible, and if nothing else, there should be news in no more than five days. I'll let you know as soon as there's news! β
"Alright, farewell!" Leng Yi got up and gave up his hand.
Bai Hong didn't hold back, got up and gave up. Leng Yi stepped out of the door and left the restaurant.
In the following days, Leng Yi was busy with the food support. Although for the Liao Governor's Mansion, Leng Yi did not solve the two cases, but the Liao Governor's Mansion still counts his words, and Master Dong has already given gifts to the officials of the prefect's yamen according to Leng Yi's instructions, and it is much more convenient to do things. In this way, it took several days to complete all kinds of complicated procedures.
Leng Yi received the support grain, although the amount of these grains was not large, but what Leng Yi wanted was not relief, but to use this batch of grain for the test of regular liquidation. He wants to let the Liao Governor know that with his methods, he can not only help the people, but also make money. Thus forming a system.
On the day he received the supplementary food, Bai Hong sent someone to bring him an invitation and invited him to eat wine at Xinghuang Restaurant.
Leng Yi immediately knew that he must have found Cheng Luojie. That night, it was raining lightly. He changed his outfit, wore a mask, held an oil-paper umbrella, and strolled to the Xinghuang Restaurant in the drizzle.
It's still the innermost seat. A banquet had already been set up, and Bai Hong was dressed in white and sat cross-legged on a low and wide couch, wearing a mask. Look at him, and hold out his hand to let him sit down.
Leng Yi was naturally not in a hurry to ask about the outcome of the matter, he took the oil-paper umbrella, put it by the door, took off his shoes, and sat on the couch. Cross your knees and wait for the other person to speak.
Bai Hong took off the mask, revealing that beautiful face, and said, "Wearing this all day long, suffocating to death, what do you think?" β
Leng Yi also took off the mask. Looking at her with a smile.
Bai Hong said: "Drink first, I heard that you have a good amount of alcohol, if you can get me drunk today, I will tell you the result." β
Leng Yi smiled: "What if you don't get drunk?" β
"Of course, I'll tell you about it, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Don't give me a task, I don't want to take any task."
"Of course it's not a task, it's a small thing, a small thing that you can do. Please help. β
"Okay! If you can, you will definitely help. β
Bai Hong smiled, dazzling beauty.
Leng Yi sighed and said, "It seems that your amount of alcohol should be very good, so I'm afraid I'll help you with this favor." β
"Not necessarily." With that, she picked up a wine jar from under the table, patted the mud seal, and suddenly, the house was full of fragrance. She took two large bowls, poured one full, and said, "I am a quick talker, and I know that you are anxious to know the outcome of that matter, so let's drink and see who gets drunk first!" β
Leng Yi said: "Where is this what a girl should do, it's too unelegant, but I like it." With that, he picked up a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Bai Hong also served a bowl, her wine was as beautiful as her people, and she drank it dry almost without hearing the sound.
Leng Yi said: "Do you want to drink it again or wait a while?" β
"Of course wait a while, and then drink, isn't that a cow's drink? Eat vegetables! Drink it after a cup of tea! β
The two of them ate in silence, and neither of them spoke. Only the sound of the rain ticking outside the window made the night even more peaceful.
The time for a cup of tea soon came, and the two of them had another bowl of dry sea. At this moment, Bai Hong's white porcelain-like face had a touch of redness. Leng Yi's face did not change color, but he began to feel a little dizzy.
After eating vegetables and tea, the two still didn't speak, they both liked to sit quietly like this, listening to the sound of the rain outside.
In this way, the two drank the five bowls of wine in a row, and Bai Hong's originally white and flawless face turned into a pink peach blossom. Leng Yi still didn't blush, he drank very strangely, even if he was drunk, he wouldn't blush. However, he felt his stomach and intestines start churning. However, he pressed it anyway.
When it was the eighth sea bowl, Bai Hong's pretty face turned into a blooming red peony. And Leng Yi finally felt that he couldn't suppress the churning of his stomach, and knew that if he drank another bowl of sea, he was afraid that he would be brilliant on the spot. Then he drunkenly arched his hand and said: "Admire! I can't imagine that you have such a good amount of alcohol in a girl's house! I lost! β
Bai Hongqiao smiled and said, "Actually, I'm about to die, but fortunately, I persevered to the end." You've got a good amount of alcohol, better than I thought! Just like your martial arts, you can always surpass my imagination. β
"Shame!" Leng Yi said: "Anyway, what do you want me to help?" β
Bai Hongqi said: "You don't want to know about your beauty guards first?" β
"I have to say it first and then say it, and I'm not in a hurry at this time anyway."
Bai Hong's delicate body shook, and she quickly pressed her chest with her hand and took a deep breath. She is just suppressing the wine with advanced skills, as if trapping the beasts with a cage, in fact, in terms of the amount of alcohol, she is far inferior to Leng Yi.
Leng Yi also saw it, and said with a wry smile: "You don't hesitate to damage your body and drink too much, what you want me to do, I'm afraid it won't be easy." β
Bai Hong had already suppressed the upsurge of wine, smiled and said, "Let's talk about your beautiful female guard first, I have found her and investigated the case in Juzhou, but it seems that it is not going well." β
Leng Yi said, "Can you help me give her a letter?" β
"No problem."
Leng Yi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Bai Hong, which he wrote in the past few days, saying that the Su family was bullying people in Erjin Village, and asked Cheng Luojie to report to Queen Kaibao on the grounds of what she found in the process of investigating the case, and send someone to investigate and deal with it.
Bai Hong took the letter and put it in his arms. "Do you need to wait for her reply?" β
"No, it's just asking her to help with something, whether you can do it, you will naturally know when the time comes."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll get the letter to her as soon as possible."
"Thank you! You can now say what you want me to do! What's up? β
