Changfan hurriedly came out, and he couldn't find Aunt Zhu everywhere in the backyard, so he remembered that he had explained the task of buying to Aunt Zhu yesterday, so he had to go back to Li Zhuoran first. Unexpectedly, Li Zhuoran expected that Aunt Zhu wanted to abscond in fear of crime, so she hurriedly went out with Changfan to find it. The two of them walked one after the other, and just after they bypassed the shadow wall, they saw the door open, and the little man who watched the door was talking to the people outside with one foot in the door and one foot outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhuoran walked up the steps at the door and asked.

"This son outside the door asks if this is the Zhao Mansion." The little guy turned around and saw Li Zhuoran, and hurriedly explained.

Li Zhuoran looked out, and a handsome man with a height of eight feet was leading a horse and looking at him with a smile. "Your Excellency?" Li Zhuoran saw that the person who came did not seem to have malicious intent, and asked tentatively. "Under the surname Shao, the word thin iron, is here for Lord Zhao's business." Shao Shoutie arched his hand and said, he was holding a closed Xiangfei bamboo fan in one hand, and a piece of Hetian jade the size of a pigeon's egg hung at the tail of the fan, which was very warm.

Li Zhuoran has always been well-informed in the rivers and lakes, and he has heard the name of Shao Shoutie, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said: "It is Mr. Shao who is here, disrespectful and disrespectful, please come in quickly." With that, he invited Shao Shoutie into the door. Changfan said softly: "Li Gongzi, I'm going to prepare tea?" Li Zhuoran responded: "Don't engage in all this red tape, you go and find Aunt Zhu." Changfan answered, and went out to look for it.

Shao Shoutie opened the fan, fanned it gently, followed Li Zhuo, and walked towards the hall. Li Zhuoran felt strange in his heart, on such a cold day, someone would walk with a fan, and he couldn't help but look at the fan a few more times: he saw that there were four big characters written on it, "Long Song Qiqi", and the handwriting was elegant and beautiful. Li Zhuoran secretly thought in his heart: It is better to see than to hear, this Mr. Shao has a kind face, extraordinary appearance, and seems to be a wonderful person, and he came to Jiangning at this juncture, which can help him.

Just thinking about it, I have arrived in the hall of Cheongju. Li Zhuoran invited Shao Shoutie to take a seat, and said: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, I came today for my brother Zhao's affairs, I don't know what advice you have?" Although he is informal, he has been on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he is very familiar with the polite words he was sent to.

"Don't dare to be, Shao Mou heard about Lord Zhao's virtuous name and admired it, but he didn't dare to take the liberty of disturbing. This time, I heard that Lord Zhao was framed, so I hurried to the Zhao Mansion to see if I could do my best to help Lord Zhao get out of trouble as soon as possible. Shao Shoutie replied, his expression always with a hint of a smile in his alienation, which made him look very gentle and arrogant.

Li Zhuoran said with a smile: "Mr. Shao talks like a literati, I heard people mention you before, and I thought you were a businessman. ”

"Shao is indeed a businessman, but because of his family background, he has read a few books and understands some truths." Shao Shoutie said.

Li Zhuoran glanced at Shao Shoutie deeply and said, "Mr. Shao, I won't tell you anything, if there is a random person outside today who wants to meddle in my Brother Zhao's affairs, I will definitely close the door and thank you." But you have always been famous in the rivers and lakes, and when you first saw it, somehow, you feel like an old friend who has known each other for many years, and you trust it very much, so I am willing to tell you about this case. ”

Shao Shoutie put away the fan and said: "The cause and effect of this case, Shao has already heard from a friend, Li Gongzi only talked about what you found since you came to Jiangning yesterday." Li Zhuoran was taken aback and asked repeatedly, "Who are you listening to?" Do you know who I am? Shao Shoutie heard Li Zhuoran's exaggerated tone, the smile on his face became thicker, and explained: "I have some friends in the court, and after the day before yesterday, they told me about the anger of the Holy Dragon Yan. As for the shopkeeper Li who knows you, who doesn't know Lin'an City? ”

This sentence made Li Zhuoran very useful, he laughed twice, scratched his head and said, "Where, where." After speaking, he asked: "I didn't know that Mr. Shao wasn't bluffing me when he was so famous, right?" Shao Shoutie saw Li Zhuoran, who was still sitting in a precarious position just now, happy like a child because of his words, and couldn't help laughing: "Why should I coax you? Li Gongzi, let's get down to business, let's talk about this case, what else have you discovered. ”

Li Zhuoran was praised, so he ran away from the initial restraint and politeness, and trusted Shao Shoutie very much, "Eh, don't call Li Gongzi, Brother Shao just call me Zhuoran" He said while getting up and returning to the bedroom, took the rice paper that he tested yesterday, and told Shao Shoutie how the ink disappeared on the paper overnight.

Shao Shoutie pondered carefully for a moment and said, "So when I entered the door, Brother Zhuo Ran wanted to go out to find Aunt Zhu?" Li Zhuoran nodded and said, "Yes, now I'll let Changfan find it." Oh, Changfan is Brother Zhao's personal servant, and he is the only person in this Zhao Mansion who has the same heart as Cheongju. Shao Shoutie smiled and said: "Lord Zhao is conscientious and loves the people like a son, and there must be hundreds of people in Jiangning who have the same heart as him." ”

Li Zhuoran seemed to remember something annoying, and said: "What you said was in the past, and now Qingzhou has been framed, and there is a villain who sees the wind and rudder, and changes his face, even some of the subordinates in this mansion... Forget it, don't talk about this. Mr. Shao, Changfan hasn't come back for so long, I really can't sit still, you sit down a little first, I'll go out to find him. After saying that, he ran out like a gust of wind.

Shao Shoutie was amused by Li Zhuoran's fiery personality, and at this time he was the only one left in the hall, he took the rice paper in his hand, looked at it for a long time, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
