Chapter 68: Tracking

"Brother Lin, why are you embarrassing yourself." Mu Yu's tone contained too much helplessness, "And life always has to look forward, Brother Lin must look away." ”

She didn't know how to comfort Lin Changjin, so she stared at the tip of her shoe and said whatever she wanted.

"If you come, why go through the back door." Mu Yi paced behind Mu Yu, and when Yu'er stopped him from coming out with him, he felt that Biyue must have something to say, so he secretly followed.

When he heard that Lin Changjin regretted his marriage, he felt a little resentful of Lin Changjin in his heart, he was obviously engaged to Yu'er, but why couldn't he be brave and confess to the emperor?

But when Lin Changjin took a few days off and was not on duty, he figured it out, Lin Changjin was also innocent, he liked rumors so much, how could he not resist, I was afraid that Changtinghou stopped him.

Disobeying the holy decree is a matter of one person, but sitting together is a matter of the whole clan, the rumor is innocent, but the other people in the Changting Marquis Mansion are even more innocent.

"Big brother?" Mu Yu's heart tightened, and she was afraid that Mu Yi would be angry, but when she turned around, she found that Mu Yi was calm and not angry at all.

"Brother Mu." Lin Changjin lowered his head in shame, "It's me who bears the rumor, I don't have the face to see you." ”

"I also know that you are not to blame for the marriage." He glanced at Yu'er, gritted his teeth and continued, "It's all the emperor's mandarin duck scores, and now he has given Yu'er to Xie Chongning for marriage, it's just a faint king." ”

Lin Changjin obviously didn't know that Mu Yu had been given a marriage, and looked up in shock, "Miss Mu was given a marriage to Master Xie?" ”

Mu Yu nodded, "This is indeed the case." Lin Changjin didn't know that it was possible, he was locked up at home before, and it is estimated that no one would tell him the fact that he was also married by the emperor.

Lin Changjin's face turned even paler, and he smiled weakly, and he didn't even have the last hope left.

When Fang Xiao intended to match Mu Yu and Xie Chongning, he relied on Mrs. Shen's liking and felt that he had more advantages, so he chose to turn a blind eye, but now, in the end, the two really got Fang Xiao's wish and came together.

"Maybe it's fate." Lin Changjin pursed his lips bitterly, and refused Mu Yi's invitation to be a guest in the mansion, and turned his back and left desolately.

Looking at Lin Changjin's appearance, Mu Yu bit his lower lip, although he felt guilty, but just like Lin Changjin himself said, maybe this is fate.

"What else to see, go back." Mu Yi grabbed Mu Yu's slender wrist and pulled her back to the courtyard, "I know that Lin Changjin is also a victim, but now that you both have a marriage contract, remember to maintain a good relationship, so as not to gossip about others." ”

"Big brother, I thought you would be angry with Lin Changjin." Mu Yu glanced at Mu Yi, thinking that he secretly came out to see Lin Changjin, and was discovered by Mu Yi again, a little embarrassed, would the eldest brother feel that he was guarding against him?

Mu Yipi laughed and played Mu Yu's brain, "You girl, am I such a bastard?" This Lin Changjin is also innocent after all, what am I doing when I am angry with him. But you can't forget what I just said. ”

Mu Yu covered his forehead, pursed his red lips, and then pursed his lips and smiled, "Thank you eldest brother for not being angry with him or me." ”

"You." Mu Yi shook his head dotingly, "The ghost is clever." ”

When Mu Yu returned to the house, Qionglan presented a letter with both hands, and Mu Yu was puzzled, "Good and decent, who will write to me?" ”

"It's Lord Xie." Qionglan replied respectfully.

"Xie Chongning?" Mu Yu was even more puzzled, "What did he write to me for?" "Could it be that he found out that his parents deliberately shirked the marriage?

The concise paper is just a few words, but the words are very clear, this letter is for himself, but also for the Hou Mansion, Xie Chongning said that the marriage is not in a hurry, he will wait for Mu Yu and Lu to make plans.

With Xie Chongning's promise, for the Luanping Marquis Mansion, it was tantamount to an amnesty that temporarily escaped.

Mu Yu pinched the pure white letter paper in her hand, the black handwriting on it was through the back of the paper and chic and upright, a person's handwriting was a manifestation of a person's personality externalization, she didn't know why, the thin paper seemed to have a kind of melting warmth, from the fingers to the heart.

"It seems that my previous efforts have not been in vain." Mu Yu carefully put the rice paper into the envelope and sandwiched it in a book.

Biyue tilted her head, not understanding why Mu Yu's mood suddenly brightened after reading the letter, "Miss, what did you say that the effort was not in vain?" ”

"Nothing. By the way, Qionglan, this letter has been seen by father and mother. ”

Qiong Lan nodded, "It was after Mrs. Hou looked at it that she relieved me to hand it over to Miss." ”

Sure enough, according to the nervous appearance of her parents, how could she allow Xie Chongning to write a letter to herself in private, it turned out that she had already seen it. But she didn't care, no matter how she said it, it was because her parents were too worried about her.

The Luanping Marquis Mansion fell into a downturn, Mu Liangxuan was different, daily gatherings with friends were indispensable, and sometimes he ate and drank in the courtyard, even the old lady who tolerated him on weekdays was a little impatient and persuaded him to be more restrained.

Mu Yu passed by from afar, probably heard something, Mu Liang claimed that they were planning how to make money, and what they said every day was in full swing, but they didn't do anything.

But suddenly one day, Mu Yu found that the third room, which had been nervous for a long time, became larger. Originally, in order to repay Mu Liangxuan's gambling debts, Sanfang can be said to be bankrupt, but today the money came, and he bought many gifts for the old lady at once.

The old lady felt that Mu Liangxuan had filial piety, and finally acquiesced to him and the group of fox friends and dog friends in the house. Mu Heyun is rarely at home during the day, and when he rests, Mu Liangxuan will take that group of people out to eat, drink and have fun, but he can't meet him, so even if Mu Heyun is dissatisfied, he has no chance to preach Mu Liangxuan.

The more this is the case, the more uneasy Mu Yu feels in her heart, she has seen several times that the old lady got a gift from Mu Liangxuan, it is indeed a good thing, and it needs a big price, but how did Mu Liangxuan earn so much money in a short period of time?

If he really earned it steadily, Mu Yu didn't think there was anything, what he was most afraid of was Mu Liangxuan's stupid thing, he went to the left side of the door, and the money came from the wrong way.

She deliberately asked Biyue, who knew some kung fu, to listen to their corners and come back to report to her.

"Biyue, did you hear anything?" Mu Yu stood behind a tree in the garden and asked Biyue in a low voice.

"Miss, most of them are talking about something indecent, I seem to have heard them say salt, Nanxun and the like, I can't hear the specifics clearly." Biyue scratched her head, what those people said was meat, how could she tell Miss.

"Table salt?" Mu Yu muttered, "Are you sure you heard the word 'salt' correctly?" ”

Biyue shook her head, "I'm not sure, but the word Nanxun is absolutely right!" ”

The reason why Mu Yu is particularly sensitive to the word salt is because in ancient times, it was a capital crime to sell salt! Salt was sold in official warehouses in order to prevent people with intentions from rebelling.

The formation of an army not only requires soldiers and horses, but also needs grain and grass, and if people do not eat salt, they will have no strength, and the court cannot control the sale of grain, so they will control the sale of salt, in order to control the sale of salt, and prevent people from buying salt in large quantities.

But can Mu Liangxuan really have this ability to smuggle salt? He, a young master who spends all day and wine, has never been out of the capital, how can he know the purchase method, transportation method, and customers of this salt? If you haven't gone through these links yourself, you won't know about them.

"Miss, what are you thinking? So distracted? Biyue shouted several times.

When Mu Yu came back to her senses, she saw Biyue's puzzled little face, and she was about to stick to herself, she took two steps back, "Biyue, you will go out with me later." ”

"Out again?" Biyue was instantly embarrassed, "Miss, what are you going out to do again?" Recently, the people of the Hou Ye Mansion have asked you to stay in the mansion. ”

"That was before, my father and mother were afraid that I would bump into Master Xie when I went out, and I would be urged to marry by Lord Xie, but now I won't, at least until I go out, I still have freedom." Mu Yu glanced at Biyue with a half-smile, and Biyue's maid became more and more towards her father and mother.

"Tell me that you are obviously my maid, why do you listen to everyone, but you don't listen to me?"

"Where did I not listen to Miss? Every time you sneak out, it's not always me who follows, but in the end it's me who is scolded. "Biyue is aggrieved.

Mu Yu touched his nose weakly, and what Biyue said seemed to be right, "It's me who is wrong, then you forgive me, I promise not to let them find out this time." ”

Biyue flattened her mouth and muttered, "You promise it every time." ”

Mu Yu saw that several of Mu Liangxuan's friends got up, and they had the intention of leaving, so they hurriedly waved their hands and asked Biyue not to say more, "Let's go, let's follow them and see where they go." ”

"Huh?" Biyue wondered, "Miss, what are we doing with them?" ”

"Shhhh Mu Yu waited for Mu Liang to send those friends away, and then ran behind the three of them in small steps.

The three of them were very recognizable, one was tall and thin like a hemp rod, the other was surprisingly short and had buckteeth, like a gopher, and the other had a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes. is playing with Mu Yao, that ugly face, she has long been imprinted in her heart.

Although the three of them talked and laughed along the way, they were all windy and fast, and Mu Yu really trotted to keep up with them.

I saw them shuttle through a few bustling streets, and then they turned around and walked more and more, this is the most remote place in the north of the city, it was also prosperous before, but a fire burned down the houses here, and then it became sparsely populated.

Fortunately, there were scorched black buildings to cover it, and although there were few people, they didn't find the existence of Mu Yu.

Mu Yu deliberately distanced himself a little, and secretly said in his heart, sure enough, there is a ghost! These so-called friends made by Mu Liangxuan not only do not need his help, but also earn him money, it is simply a fantasy, it is obvious that these people are using Mu Liangxuan, but the idiot doesn't know it.
