Lu Ning was startled, and he said in his heart: Uncle Shi's eyeliner is really amazing, he knew it so quickly. Luckily, I'm honest in front of him.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "Uncle Shi, I was also forced to do so." It was an emergency, and they almost killed me! Let alone...... What's more, Uncle Shi, didn't you support that back then...... Do you like my cousin? My cousin, she likes you too. Isn't that appropriate for me to say...... I don't know what my aunt and uncle thought back then, they just didn't want my cousin to marry you. ”

Lu Ning looked at Shi Zhengying as he spoke, and his voice became much quieter unconsciously.

"Back then, I was just a stunned boy with no reputation...... Well? You're presumptuous, you're just foolish! I was almost led astray by you! Shi Zhengying glanced at Lu Ning fiercely, but he wasn't really angry.

"Yes, yes, I'm so foolish. Uncle Shi, I was wrong! Lu Ning said with a grin.

In fact, when Shi Zhengying heard Lu Ning talk about the back, his originally flat face had become warm and affectionate in an instant.

However, in just a breath, Shi Zhengying regained his ironclad face.

Shi Zhengying sighed in his heart.

Time flies!

I'm afraid those things when I was a teenager will be remembered for a lifetime.

It's just that the past is just waiting to be recalled.

Shi Zhengying retracted his thoughts and said to Lu Ning: "Over the years, you have lived a very chic life in the 'shadow'!" I thought you were dead, and I had the steward prepare the money for your parents. But now it seems that ...... That enchantress wants you to approach me and help her find out, right? ”

Lu Ning said: "Uncle Shi is wise and martial! Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. You've got it right. That dead demon girl was trying to make Uncle Shi mistakenly think that I had broken with her, and then when she ordered to kill me, her personal guard secretly let me go without her, remembering the friendship of many years. In this way, Uncle Shi will not be suspicious of me, and I can lurk beside Uncle Shi and be an eyeliner for her. When the time comes, I will take advantage of the situation to win over you, Uncle Shi. ”

Shi Zhengying glanced at Lu Ning and said in his heart: Hmph, this kid didn't tell a lie.

He said, "In that case, how can we live up to her painstaking efforts? ”

Lu Ning said, "Uncle Shi, I understand. It's just that my family is all being targeted by the dead demon girl's people. It's like a sharp weapon hanging over my head all the time, keeping me awake at night. I also asked Uncle Shi to help me think of countermeasures. ”

Shi Zhengying said: "The best way now is for you to do her eyeliner diligently." I'll give you some news from time to time for you to take to that enchantress. ”

Lu Ning said: "Alas, it seems that this is the only way to do it now. ”

Shi Zhengying picked up a piece of paper from the bookcase and handed it to Lu Ning, and said, "Do you know those few sentences that have been circulated among the people recently?" ”

Lu Ning took the paper and looked at it, it was those few sentences that slipped away.

He said, "I know that. At first, I thought it was Uncle Shi's handiwork. ”

Shi Zhengying snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't care about that. Wouldn't it be nice to go up and fight directly than this? That's not bad, though. Now that you're officially in my hands, go check this out. ”

Lu Ning saluted: "Yes." ”

Shi Zhengying said: "You directly find Shi Linfeng and ask him to deploy manpower to assist you." ”

Lu Ning said: "Uncle Shi, if such a trivial matter requires the use of people from your Shifu, then I will also be in vain. Look, I'm going to do it for you. ”

"Good boy!"

Even if Shi Zhengying had a monolithic face, he couldn't help but be slightly happy.

Lu Ning walked out of the study with the paper and left the stone mansion.

After making some disguises, Lu Ning went straight to the 'Lianlianzhuang' gambling house near Fuliang Prefecture.

In the private room of the gambling house, Lu Ning and Sheng Kai Key sat two people.

Sheng Kaikey, who was more than thirty years old, took the key handed by Lu Ning and looked at it, and said, "Brother Ning, this is all old news, and the Queen Mother already knows." ”

Lu Ning took off the human skin mask, glanced at him, and said, "Alas! Recently, I've been trying my best to get close to Shifu, but I've ignored these things in the market. I wonder if the Queen Mother has found out the culprit behind the spread? ”

The blooming key said, "No. It is also extremely strange that these words suddenly appeared overnight. How...... Brother Ning wants to make meritorious contributions and earn silver again? ”

Lu Ning laughed "haha", patted Sheng Kaikey's shoulder and said, "The one who knows me is none other than Brother Key!" Isn't it a beautiful thing to find out that such a thing is less dangerous, and it can make meritorious contributions and earn money? We might as well work together again, I don't know what Brother Key wants? ”

The lean blooming key touched two handfuls of mustaches and said, "Hmm...... It's just that I heard that the Queen Mother had sent General Huo's people to investigate. It's not good for us to intervene in the first place. ”

Lu Ning said: "That's it...... That...... We're going to make money and make connections this time! Our 'shadow office' and General Huo's 'personal guards' have always been in the same spirit. After we found out, we directly brought the results to General Huo and asked General Huo to ask for credit in front of the Queen Mother. According to General Huo's hearty temperament, he will definitely be able to reward us with silver. In this way, we have obtained money and curry favor with General Huo, isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds? In this way, we also have an additional backer in this court. ”

Sheng Kaikey's head shook from side to side, and his eyes turned from side to side.

He said, "Brother Ning, you have never been so motivated. What's wrong with you today? Suddenly, I was so excited. ”

Lu Ning suddenly frowned and said, "Brother Key knows about my affairs. In this court, I only believe in you, Brother Key. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dragged you to make meritorious contributions last time. ”

When Sheng Kai Key heard this, he nodded in agreement.

Lu Ning said again: "Now I am a 'dead man' in the 'shadow'. Alas...... I was desperate to do things for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother threatened me with my family. I'll have to think of a way out, too! I am loyal to the Queen Mother, and it is impossible for me to turn the sky upside down. When I thought about it, I thought of General Huo. Now in this court, I am afraid that there is only General Huo's words, and the Queen Mother can listen to it. I thought that if I let General Huo approve it, maybe my family would ......"

When the blooming key heard this, he stopped him.

"Brother Ning!" "I understand your suffering. Alas! The Queen Mother has always liked to engage in this set. Which of our colleagues in the 'shadow department' is not stared at to death? Come on, we'll do this vote! ”

Lu Ning took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Sheng Kai Key with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you, Brother Key!" I also ask Brother Key to bring my latest news to Father-in-law Xiaode. ”

"Good!" Bloom Key said.

Fuliang Prefecture Mansion.

The prefect Lin Xianchang had just finished his business and returned to the mansion in a sedan chair.

After entering the mansion, the steward Lin Xilei greeted him.

"My lord, Master Qian from Changnan Town asks to see you." Lin Xilei said in a low voice.

"Well, let him wait for me in the study first. What about Lingfeng? This unfilial son, still refuses to come back to study hard? Lin Xianchang said.

"Young Master, he still refuses to come back, but he seems to have some troubles." Lin Xilei said.

"Shameful thing!" Lin Xianchang said, "You are busy with your going, so that Mrs. will stop worrying about this son!" ”

Lin Xianchang went back to the room to change into his regular clothes, and went straight to the study.

His personal servant Lin Huanxi stood guard outside the study.

Lin Xianchang closed the door of the study, and Qian Liangdong just turned around.

He stepped forward and saluted Qian Liangdong and said, "Brother Qian, you and Brother Xu haven't been here for a few days, how are you doing lately?" ”
