Xiao He was angry and invited Liu Haobo into the house for dinner, Liu Haobo was full of surprise, and he hadn't agreed yet, Mu Churan, whose face was black and couldn't be blacker, couldn't be more stinky, came next to Xiao He, put one hand on her shoulder, and squeezed in front of her, blocking Liu Haobo's sight, and said coldly: "Liu Gongzi must have already eaten, please go back." ”

Liu Haobo's face didn't mean to go back, but he was worried about his toes, shaking his head and wanting to see Xiao He, but Mu Churan was tall, stood beside Xiao He, and blocked Xiao He tightly, Liu Haobo worked hard for a long time, even if he couldn't see Xiao He from Mu Churan's shoulder, he couldn't help but regret it. However, this meal is a must-eat.

So he said with a smile: "I haven't eaten yet, it just so happens that this little two is delivering food, I came with me to ask the two of you, the food is appetizing." I always take the cook with me when I go out, and the cook is cooking in the kitchen at this time, if the two of you don't dislike it, you can come to my house to eat together. Ah," said this, Liu Haobo shouted again, looked at Mu Churan's eyes that wanted to kill, and changed his words, "It's okay to bring the food here and eat it with the two of you." Anyway, it's eaten wherever you eat. ”

After speaking, he raised his head and wanted to look at Xiao He through Mu Churan's shoulder, but Mu Churan blocked Xiao He to death, and Liu Haobo didn't even see a single hair of Xiao He.

Xiao He was a little unhappy looking at his back behind Mu Churan, and reached out to push his back, wanting to push Mu Churan away.

But the door of the inn is extremely narrow, only allowing one person to pass through, Mu Churan stopped at the door, not only the shopkeeper couldn't get out, but Liu Haobo outside couldn't get in.

He was like a mountain separating the people inside the house from the people outside.

"No," Mu Churan hated Liu Haobo's ignorance, so he just stood at the door and didn't leave, and said coldly, "Liu Gongzi has eaten, so please go back to the house and rest by yourself." ”

Liu Haobo was about to open his mouth to speak, but Mu Churan glared at him viciously and shouted: "Even if your meal is ready, please eat in your own house, don't eat in our house, our husband and wife's affairs are not disturbed by outsiders, do you know?" ”

This is said very obviously, and it is almost obvious that Liu Haobo wants to destroy the relationship between their husband and wife.

Liu Haobo saw that Mu Churan was very persistent, and Xiao He, although he wanted to see him, he probably couldn't resist Mu Churan's opinion, so he didn't say anything again, so he could only say regretfully: "Since that's the case, then I'll leave now." ”

He bowed his hand to Mu Churan, and reluctantly went downstairs one step at a time.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiao He waited for Mu Churan to turn around and look at him dissatisfied, "People want to invite us to dinner, why don't you go?" If you don't eat it, you won't eat it. Besides, that man was covered in gems, and he looked like a rich boy, and the cook brought by this kind of person must not be bad. What's wrong with us tasting their meals? The food in this shop, "pouting," is just like that. ”

Mu Churan hugged his arms, but didn't speak, but looked at Xiao He behind him, Xiao He turned around, and saw the shopkeeper who was setting up dishes and chopsticks, and he was busy covering his mouth, no, saying bad things about others was heard by the person concerned.

The professionalism of the shopkeeper is obviously very high, and when he saw that Xiao He was embarrassed, he just smiled indifferently and said: "This girl is right, the chefs in our store are naturally not as good as the chefs of the Liu family in Jiangnan." There is nothing to be ashamed of in saying this. The cook was hired for ten taels of silver a month, and he was not only good at all kinds of cuisines, but also able to make many tricks into a plate of ordinary fried eggplant. Whether it's knife work, our cook said that when he saw the chef of the Liu family's chopping skills, even he admired himself. Girl..."

As soon as these words came out, Mu Churan glared, and the shopkeeper's ability to observe words and expressions was perfect, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "Ah, no, it's Madame, even if Madam says us, we have nothing to be ashamed of." It's like a child who has just become literate and wants to be on a par with the champion, but there is no comparison. ”

The shopkeeper is very open-minded, and he doesn't have much resentment about Xiao He's belittlement.

However, when Mu Churan heard Xiao Er's words, his heart moved, and he frowned and asked, "What did you just say?" What Jiangnan Liujia? ”

Xiao He looked at Mu Churan fiercely, Jiangnan Liu family? Could it be the Jiangnan Liu family mentioned by Liu Jingzhu?

After thinking about it, he also looked at the shopkeeper, waiting for his reply.

Seeing that both of them were interested, the shopkeeper rolled his eyes, and wondered: "Look, the guests downstairs are still waiting for me to go down." ”

Before he finished speaking, Mu Churan threw out a large ingot of silver, and the silver accurately fell into the arms of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper looked down, and roughly estimated, I'm afraid there are ten taels of silver? Two months' wages! Great patron.

So he happily took the silver into his arms, with a bright smile on his face, nodded and looked at Mu Churan, and said, "If the guest officer has anything else to ask, just ask, the little one knows everything." ”

Mu Churan and Xiao He glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and said to the shopkeeper, "Just talk about the Jiangnan Liu family you just talked about." ”

"Oh, his house." The shopkeeper was obviously very familiar with the Liu family, or rather, the Jiangnan Liu family was extremely famous in this area, so he told him everything he knew about the Liu family, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Mu Churan and Xiao He listened and thought about it, and nodded at the same time, and had a general understanding of the Liu family in Jiangnan.

This Liu family, as Liu Jingzhu said, is indeed a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The family has a lot of money, and it is said that it is richer than the treasury of the imperial court.

And their industries are also all over the place, bookstores, silk shops, crude medicine shops, inns, blacksmith shops, etc., large and small, almost monopolizing the economy of the Jiangnan region, and the power is quite large.

No matter who wants to do business in the Jiangnan area, they must say hello to the Liu family, otherwise, they will definitely not be able to do it.

Because according to rumors, in addition to having a business, the Liu family also has some secret industries. For example, the top killer organization on the rivers and lakes, Dark Rain, is rumored to be the industry of the Liu family.

If anyone comes to Jiangnan to do business and does not go through the Liu family, they must die a miserable death.

Therefore, in the Jiangnan area, the Liu family is dominant, and this situation has lasted for many years.

And the other families, although they are also rich, are not as rich as the Liu family.

"Well," after the shopkeeper finished speaking, Xiao He thought about it and asked him again, "Who is the young man Liu downstairs?" ”

"Oh, he," Xiao Er enthusiastically introduced, "know him, you are well developed." That son is the third son of the current head of the Liu family, and he loves to dance with guns and sticks and walk the rivers and lakes since he was a child. As an adult, his two older brothers managed the family business, and he has been walking the rivers and lakes, occasionally taking care of the family property. ”

"So that's the case," Xiao He nodded silently after understanding, no wonder he had so many gems on him, but no one dared to go up and grab them.

Dark Rain is an organization, she has also heard of.

It is the second organization that is not easy to mess with, and the first one that is not easy to mess with is naturally Jiang Yufeng's Listening to the Rain Villa.

It's just because there are a lot of masters in the Dark Rain Organization, and as long as you give money, anyone dares to kill. They once let out the rumors that as long as there was enough silver, the emperor could kill them.

Because of this sentence, the dark rain has always been a big trouble for Mu Churan.

Although the palace is well guarded, and his own martial arts are extremely high, there is no need to be afraid of these small things. However, what if there is someone with bad intentions who goes to the Dark Rain Organization to buy his head?

But this organization has always been mysterious, and no one inside the organization knows about it except themselves.

It is said that those killers are also very good at disguise, or the Oiran of the Qinglou, or the craftsman who sells clay figurines on the street, or the porter who walks the streets.

Because it is good at camouflage, it is also difficult to detect easily.

It is often not until the person who is killed dies that he suddenly realizes that the one who sells noodle soup at the mouth of the alley is the killer.

And because of the existence of the disguise technique, after the killer of Dark Rain kills a person, he will quickly change places, change his face again, and continue to kill.

No one knows how many of them there are, where their headquarters are, who the owner is, and how they operate.

Therefore, the Dark Rain organization is mysterious and dangerous at the same time.

Xiao He was paying attention to the Dark Rain Organization, while Mu Churan was indeed concerned about something else, and asked Xiao Er, "Then does the head of the Liu family in this area have a daughter named Liu Jingzhu?" Or, is there a clansman named Liu Jingzhu or something? ”

"This..."Xiao Er thought for a while, then spread his hands and replied: "There are a lot of people in the Liu family, about a hundred. What we are passing on here is the son and daughter of the head of the Liu family, and the others," Xiao Er shook his head, "We can't know all of them. ”

Xiao He was a little regretful, if Xiao Er knew this, it would save them a lot of effort.

"Okay, let's go. We're going to eat, and we don't need you to serve again. Mu Churan saw that Xiao Er couldn't say anything anymore, so he sent him away.

As soon as Xiao Er left, Xiao He took two steps, came to Mu Churan's side, lay in his ear, and whispered with some joy: "Fortunately, we have changed our appearance, otherwise, what would you do if you encounter the killer of Dark Rain?" ”

Mu Churan is the emperor, many people have seen it, if someone really has bad intentions, take advantage of Mu Churan's opportunity to find a killer in the dark rain to kill him. That Xiao He did not hesitate and would definitely avenge him.

"Otherwise, you should go back to Beijing first." Xiao He didn't wait for Mu Churan's surprised look to disappear, and hurriedly suggested, "My parents, I'll investigate it myself." You can leave the token of Weiyang Palace to me. I'll do the rest myself. I've always felt that your presence here has upset me. ”

There are also people inside Dark Rain who are proficient in disguise techniques, what if the disguise of the two of them is seen through? What if Mu Churan's identity is revealed? What if, someone really wants to assassinate Mu Churan and take the throne?

There are too many contingencies, but no matter what kind of contingencies, Xiao He can't afford them.

They quarrel on weekdays, but Xiao He never thought of asking Mu Churan to die.
