"Hey, stinky boy, give me back the money!"

When the shopkeeper saw that the silver in his hand was taken away, his face suddenly became vicious, and his fat body hit Lu Yu.

"You are really greedy to get even such a little bit of silver."

For this kind of person who is greedy for small profits, Lu Yu is willing to call him Mr. Krabs.

Flexibly dodging the shopkeeper's oncoming approach, Lu Yu suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, shopkeeper, isn't the price of your place a little inflated?"

"Inflated? Open...... What are you kidding, our Drunken Xianju is an old shop, and we have always been a child......

Although he was so quibble, the shopkeeper's face changed.

"Oh, inflated prices? Lu Yu, what's going on? ”

Looking at the shopkeeper's nervous look, Di Renjie's heart also had a little understanding.

"I remember that I had dinner with a friend here, and it cost five thousand gold coins to order just a few dishes."

Think about it, that meal is still owed by Pei Baohu.

"Five thousand gold coins? In Chang'an City, even if it is a gathering of officials, it may not cost so much. ”

After hearing the figure of five thousand gold coins, Di Ren couldn't help frowning and said, and at the same time looked at the shopkeeper's eyes, which were a little more sharp and cold.

Immediately, Di Renjie investigated the bills of Drunken Immortal Residence and the consumption of each recipe, and found that there was indeed a problem of inflated prices.

Of course, there is no way to convict anyone, but then when Di Renjie found out that Drunken Xianju was suspected of tax evasion, the shopkeeper was completely convinced.

"It's really ignorant to evade so much taxes, but still be so greedy for a silver ingot......"

Walking out of the Drunken Immortal Residence, Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, people like this abound in Chang'an City, but sooner or later, he will sanction them all.

"This is the selfishness of the human heart, once the desire begins to swell, it is endless darkness."

Lu Yu on the side said with emotion.

Is it selfish......

Di Renjie silently lowered his head and pondered.

"In the hexagram, there is never an absolute good or evil, just like ...... There is no such thing as absolute justice. ”

In his mind, he couldn't help but hear Ming Shiyin's bewitching words.

If you want everyone to think that the law is absolutely just, you are indeed a selfish person.

Everyone has the right to choose their own future, whether it is right or wrong.

All they can do is to amend them on the basis of the law.

Just like Yuan Fang, for him, what is more important in his heart than the absolute justice is...... Family.

But...... If even you have doubts about the beliefs that have continued until now, how will you go on the road ahead?

"Master Di!"

The mind was struggling, but the familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"Yuan Fang?!"

Di Renjie raised his head suddenly, and found that the petite figure standing in front of him was Li Yuanfang.

"Yuan Fang!"

Without waiting for Lu Yu and Li Bai to react, Di Renjie had already rushed over with a brisk step and directly hugged Li Yuanfang's thin body tightly.

"Master Di, you..... What happened to you? ”

Li Yuanfang was taken aback, this was the first time he had seen Di Renjie make such an intimate gesture to him.

However, there was no feeling of being unaccustomed, Li Yuanfang also hugged Di Renjie tightly and said in that soft voice————

"Master Di, I'm back......"

"Stupid, where have you been all these days?! Do you know how worried we are?! ”

However, this hug did not last long, and Di Renjie's face and tone changed from sadness at the beginning to serious as before.

"Master Di, right...... I'm sorry, I knew it was wrong......"

Lowering his head, not daring to meet Di Renjie's stern eyes, Yuan Fang said aggrievedly.

Biting his lip, the index fingers of both hands kept poking each other, and the cute big ears drooped even more.

To be honest, Yuan Fang's aggrieved appearance is even more pitiful than a little girl.

"Okay, I'm not going to deduct your salary."

Looking at Li Yuanfang's aggrieved and pitiful look, Di Renjie sighed deeply and said helplessly.

No way

"Yay!"

Li Yuanfang jumped up happily, and her big ears were directly erected.

"However, you have to hand me a 10,000 review, and besides, punctuation doesn't count."

Interrupting Li Yuanfang's joy, Di Renjie poured a stream of cold water.

"Oh......"

Yuan Fang's cute big ears fell down again.

"By the way, Yuan Fang, where have you been these days?"

Gently stroking Yuan Fang's big furry ears, Di Renjie asked in a caring tone again.

"I ...... I'm going to ......."

was a little flustered, and Li Yuanfang didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

However, Di Renjie did not force Li Yuanfang to finish the question this time as he did before.

"You have your secrets too, Yuan Fang."

said lightly, and an apologetic smile appeared on Di Renjie's face.

"Yuan Fang, I'm sorry."

"What happened that day, it was my fault. I know that for you, a rigid person like me must make you sad. ”

"I didn't ...... Not really. ”

Li Yuanfang was a little surprised, not only Di Renjie's apologetic look, but also that he actually apologized to himself.

Originally, Li Yuanfang was still thinking about whether he would be driven away by Di Renjie if he appeared in front of him again.

But now it seems......

"Yuan Fang, from now on, I will still use my practical actions to protect this Chang'an. However, even I will always make mistakes and need someone who can supervise me. ”

"So, would you like to be my assistant again?"

Di Renjie stretched out his hand.

"Hmm."

Nodding, looking at the request and firmness in Di Renjie's eyes, Li Yuanfang also stretched out his hand.

Just like when they met under the bright moonlight, the two seemed to sign a contract, and they were like each other, and they guarded each other's secrets.

"Why do I feel like I'm knocking candy?"

Seeing Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang holding each other's hands tightly and looking at each other seriously, if it weren't for the fact that both of them were male, Lu Yu would have wanted to stand on this pair of CPs.

Merely......

Before this, where did Li Yuanfang go?

The shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Residence had clearly said that he had disappeared after only a stick of incense.

But, an hour later, he reappeared before their eyes.

Is this a coincidence, or is it ......
