Chapter 16: Steward Li

On the second day after Dr. Ouyang came, Steward Li in the house happened to come back from Suzhou.

He was dusty all the way, but his face did not show any tiredness, and his appearance was as elegant as ever, unlike Li Ge and the others, who changed their rugged appearance after a trip to Yizhou.

The people who followed the second master were really extraordinary.

The doorman was amazed in his heart, and when he saw him walk in, he hurriedly greeted him and shouted, "Steward Li, you are back!" ”

Steward Li nodded and said, "Let people carry the things in the car." ”

With that, he stepped into the house.

The doorman answered, looked curiously at the carriage behind him, and hurried to call someone.

Steward Li listened to the earnest greetings of the little man in the house all the way and walked to Li Zhihuai's courtyard.

He saluted to the man who was standing by the window with his hands and looked at him from afar, "Master." ”

Li Zhihuai turned his head and said in a light tone: "What's wrong?" ”

"That's it." Steward Li said: "The lost Mr. Bai is still there, otherwise they will really let them run away." ”

Li Zhihuai sat down on the edge of the table: "If it weren't for the fact that others couldn't know about it, I wouldn't want to detain them." ”

His tone was close to sighing, obviously helpless about it.

"I can't blame myself for this." Steward Li gave another salute and comforted, "I think it was because they almost broke the big thing in the first place, if you let Master Jian deal with it, it will not be as simple as detention." ”

Master Jian has always been resolute and ruthless, and because of the events of that year, he has become more and more withdrawn and indifferent.

If those people were handed over to him, it would be impossible to escape death.

"That's all I can do to comfort myself." Li Zhihuai muttered to himself.

Steward Li nodded in agreement: "Master, now they are doing chores in a village outside Suzhou City, although their lives are not as good as before, but at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing, compared to ...... They're good. ”

"Did you ask, why did they run away?"

This time, Li Zhihuai sent Steward Li to Suzhou, because the original peace was broken, and he could only find a reliable person to deal with it for a while.

Steward Li said thoughtfully: "I heard that I saw familiar faces, and I was afraid of being discovered, so I thought about running away, I stayed there for a while, but I didn't see the people they said, I think about it, I am no longer in Suzhou." ”

"An acquaintance? Do you know who it is? Li Zhihuai asked.

"I don't know." Steward Li shook his head, "They only said that they had seen them in the capital mansion before, but they didn't remember who it was." ”

Li Zhihuai twisted his eyebrows when he heard this: "It seems that it is the people mentioned by Master Jian, they went to Suzhou first, and then went south to Yizhou." ”

Steward Li was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Bai was aware of it before, and he asked the master to ...... Be careful. ”

There was silence in the house for a while, and the wind by the window blew into the room for a while.

Li Zhihuai thought silently, and Steward Li opened his mouth again: "What Mr. Bai means is that if those people go to Gwangju, let the old man as usual, not be found out, they are now searching vigorously, just to find those people back then, the old man has nothing to do with back then, so it's fine." ”

"I hope so."

Li Zhihuai buttoned the teacup on the table and looked into the distance.

……

……

A quarter of an hour later, Steward Li came out of the courtyard of the second master, and everyone in the house hurriedly greeted him.

"Steward Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's been more than a month......"

"Steward Li, what did the master ask you to do in Suzhou, ...... for so long"

Yes, Li Ge recalled that a month ago, he went to Yizhou, and Steward Li went to Suzhou, and it had been half a month since he came back, and Steward Li came back from Suzhou.

Steward Li has been going to Suzhou for so long this time, what is the big deal?

Steward Li's face was calm, and he waved his hand very calmly: "If there is something in the shop of the second old man's friend, I will help deal with it." ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this.

If you want to ask Steward Li to deal with it, the shop of the second old man's friend must be in big trouble.

As we all know, Steward Li is the confidant of the second master, and he generally does not leave the house easily.

From time to time, there were little servants walking in and out carrying wooden boxes, and their eyes moved back and forth.

"The box contains some gadgets in Suzhou, which were specially entrusted to me by the people who helped him when the second master was serving in Suzhou."

Steward Li saw them staring at the box curiously, so he gave them an explanation.

"What gadgets?" Boldly asked.

"It's just a little thing, don't ask more, go about your own business." Steward Li ordered everyone to disperse, and said to Li Ge, who was walking behind, "Li Ge, you come with me." ”

Li was delighted.

It seems that this time, Steward Li is really going to promote him.

He and Steward Li are actually relatives, but they are far apart, and according to their generation, he wants to call Steward Li his uncle.

"Li Ge, I heard that your errand is doing well, and the second master also praised you, saying that you are a usable person." Steward Li said with a smile.

Li Ge touched his head: "I still have to thank Steward Li, otherwise I would not have this opportunity to show my face in front of the second master." ”

Steward Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If it's really a straight gut, follow me in the future, I just have something you need to do." ”

Li Ge responded excitedly.

"Where's that Xue guard you brought? Take me over and see it. ”

Li Ge was already overjoyed at this time, and naturally agreed to Steward Li's request.

Xue Yan was polishing his sword in the courtyard, he picked up the cotton gauze boy and carefully rubbed the blade of the sword, the sword shining in the sun.

"Brother Xue!"

Li Ge greeted him loudly from afar.

Xue Yan replied and put away his sword as he stood up, and found that there was another person next to Li Ge.

"This is Steward Li." Li Ge hurriedly explained, "I only came back when I went to Suzhou." ”

Xue Yan Shili: "Steward Li." ”

Steward Li held his hand and said with a smile: "Xue Guard, now in the Li Mansion, if you have any emergency, you can come to me, you saved Li and them, the second master has ordered, and you will be treated well." ”

Li Ge was moved again when he heard this.

He said excitedly: "Steward Li, don't worry, you are busier on weekdays, and I will come to find Brother Xue more often to repay his kindness." ”

He looked at Xue Yan again: "Brother Xue's martial arts are high, and now everyone in the mansion is ......."

As he spoke, Li Ge remembered Escort Li, Escort Xue won the battle against Escort Li and made his face gloomy, in the end, Steward Li should save face for his nephew......

He saw that Steward Li was calm and calm, and said in his heart, sure enough, he was the person who followed the second master, and his style of action was as noble as the master, and he was the one who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Li Ge felt ashamed, so he continued to boast: "Escort Xue is very powerful, and when he sees injustice on the road, he draws his sword to help, we ...... The people in the house like him very much. ”

Steward Li laughed, patted Li Ge's shoulder and left the courtyard.

Li Ge didn't know why what he said made Steward Li laugh, he looked at Xue Yan with an inexplicable face, and asked if he knew.

Xue Yan pursed his lips and said, "Brother Li, you don't have to repay my kindness. ”

He raised the money bag in his hand, threw it back to Li Ge, and turned to leave.

Why are they all so weird.

Li Ge was even more puzzled.
