"Will she get the word out about us?" Liu Yue looked back at Li Hongjing, who was drinking the soup, and was a little worried, she didn't want Li Hongjing to have the good name of Longyang in the future.

Li Hongjing smiled lightly, with some sarcasm in his eyes: "She doesn't have a chance." ”

“······”

Liu Yue couldn't help but mourn for Li Qionghua in her heart, but thanks to this Qionghua county lord who lacked a string in his brain, he and Li Hongjing could only talk now.

Seeing that Li Hongjing was quiet again, Liu Yue mustered up the courage in her heart and asked tentatively, "Are you going to ignore me anymore?" ”

"No, there are some things you don't want to tell me, and I don't plan to force you to say it, but for me, it will be uncomfortable in the end."

Li Hongjing's words, Liu Yue knew very well in his heart that he was silent and deliberately concealed his dissatisfaction with the car, but he couldn't force himself, and now he was just making some awkward noise.

Liu Yue sighed, and asked with a little guilt, "The case of water and gold has not been solved for a day, and I will have to stay in Beijing for one more day, do you plan to do this to me every day?" ”

He didn't talk like this every day, he was reluctant, the time for the two to meet was very small, and he didn't talk in order to lose his temper, but let Liu Yue go so cheaply, Li Hongjing was unwilling.

Seeing that Li Hongjing was silent again, Liu Yue raised her eyebrows helplessly, smiled, and coaxed softly: "Don't be angry, okay?" We have little time to see each other, and if you lose your temper with me again, how much time do we have to waste? ”

"I don't want to force you to do something against your will, I'm willing to wait for you to tell me, but I don't like you to hide something from me." Li Hongjing took her hand and said softly.

In fact, from another perspective, Liu Yue can understand Li Hongjing's current mood, but she really doesn't know how to explain her mutation and consideration of the future to him.

"Forget it, Qingqing, I'd rather you tell me later than you lie to me."

Li Hongjing still gave in, he didn't want Liu Yue to lie to him, he would rather not know the truth that Liu Yue was hiding.

Liu Yue closed her eyelids with shame, but her subordinates shook his hand back hard, one day Li Hongjing would understand what she was doing now.

In the afternoon, Li Hongjing had other things to do, so after sending Liu Yue off, he left.

Liu Yue sat alone in the courtyard in a daze.

Lan Jian was hidden in a high place, holding the sword and looking at the lonely figure below, it had been more than an hour since the master was sent back by the prince, so he sat in a daze, he didn't go out with the master today, so he didn't know what happened, is this a quarrel?

"Come down and talk to me." Liu Yue said towards the position of the blue sword.

Lan Jian was slightly stunned, then jumped down from a high place, a little surprised, "How did the master know that I was there?" ”

"The leaves are gone, and you don't know where to hide them? Do you have to stay at the top of a bare tree to be a little more conspicuous? Liu Yue glanced at Lan Jian angrily.

I really doubt that Lan Jian shares a brain with Li Qionghua, how did such a one-line brain become a secret guard?

Lan Jian's face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, "My subordinates know their mistakes, and I must find a good place to hide next time." ”

"Sit down and talk to me."

Lan Jian opened his robe and sat down, he had been with Liu Yue for a long time, and he had somewhat understood some of her thoughts, saying that if he sat down, he would sit down, just don't shirk it.

After Lan Jian sat down, Liu Yue tilted her head and asked: "Ask you something, you have to answer well, assuming that everything you do is for the good of this person, but there is a last resort reason not to tell him the truth, but you don't want to hide it, what should you do?" ”

"Tell him that two people must be honest with each other, and the more they don't say that the other person has to guess, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings in the long run, and once there is a misunderstanding between the two, the relationship will collapse sooner or later."

"Don't you listen to the questions?" Liu Yue sighed and said speechlessly, "Didn't I say it?" There are unavoidable reasons. ”

The corners of Lan Jian's mouth twitched, and his brows furrowed slightly, "What is the reason for the last resort?" ”

In his concept, if he has something to say, why do you have to cover it up?

Liu Yue choked, she also had a bad brain, so she even chatted with him, saying that there was a last resort, and asked what the reason was?

Liu Yue smiled helplessly: "It was because of this brain that I thought of chatting with you." ”

Lan Jian was completely frozen in place, no matter how dull his brain was, he could hear that the master was burying him with a bad brain.

"Forget it, don't talk about this, how is Jingdu doing?" Liu Yue clapped her hands

"Jingdu has nothing to do recently, Lord Liu has received news from the prince of the world, knowing that you are safe, master, and other subordinates have not paid attention to it."

"I'll write another letter to my dad later, and you can send it back to him, even if Li Hongjing told my dad that it's better for me to report my safety and let him rest assured." Liu Yue smiled faintly, got up and was about to go back to write a letter, just stood up, "By the way, Fang Yuan's rouge shop, you help me find someone to keep an eye on it, see how the store is doing, and then send someone to find Yin Luosheng's whereabouts, and when the matter in Beijing is over, I will talk to him about something." ”

"My subordinates will greet my brothers at the Jingdu site." Lan Jian also got up with Liu Yue and said.

Liu Yue nodded with satisfaction and went back to the room to write a letter.

The next day, Li Hongjing still came after breakfast, Liu Yue still packed up and followed him out, she mentioned to Li Hongjing when she came back yesterday, hoping to go and see the carriage that was escorted today.

The carriage was in the Governor's House, so today it came again.

The carriage had been dismantled, and the seals of the Governor's Court had been affixed, and Liu Yue tore off the seals to inspect the boxes and wheels containing the gold.

Li Hongjing waited quietly on the sidelines.

After a while, Liu Yue stood up and walked towards him, "Guess what I found?" ”

Li Hongjing carefully handed her the tea, and asked along with her words, "What did you find?" ”

"I've found something wrong with these boxes."

Li Hongjing didn't say anything, he looked at Liu Yue dotingly, and smiled with his eyebrows, "Let's talk about it." ”

"There are indeed traces of water and gold in the box, but all the traces are in the bottom corner of the box, and there are no four walls of the box and near the top of the box, which means that less than one percent of the 50,000 taels of gold escorted are water gold, and the rest are still full of real gold." Liu Yue took a sip of water to moisten her throat, she checked all the boxes, and they were all exactly the same location and traces, and sure enough, it was the same as she expected before.

Li Hongjing took the finished teacup and refilled the new tea, "And then?" ”

"Then where is the rest of the gold, as long as the remaining gold is found, this case will be solved, even if you can't catch the person behind the scenes, Your Majesty will have an explanation." Liu Yue said excitedly.

This is what she asked Qin Yu to check, and after reading the map of Liaocheng that day, she thought that the canals in Liaocheng City extend in all directions, but they will eventually converge in one place, and that is the water source outside Liaocheng City-Black Dragon Pond.

Li Hongjing's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he looked at Liu Yue with appreciation.

Liu Yue said excitedly for a long time before noticing that Li Hongjing had been listening quietly, without any surprise at her analysis, and behaved extremely calmly, looking at Li Hongjing with a sudden realization, and her voice was a little loud, "You thought about the whole thing clearly from the beginning, right?" ”

Li Hongjing smiled but did not speak.
