At noon, Mu Cheng changed his clothes and stood alone on a bustling street in Huizhou Mansion.

At this moment, his hair is tied in a scarf, his face is smooth, and the slightest stubble is gone, plus his already slender body, he even looks a little bookish like a staff member.

- "It's okay not to go to the scar man, then Brother Mu should go out and have a look first." ”

Bai Ling's words echoed in his mind.

Although no one lived in the empty house, there were still some old clothes in the cupboard, although the clothes were larger in the waist and abdomen, but fortunately he was shoulder-width and long, and he could fully support his belt if he tied it tightly.

In the afternoon, the sky was drizzling again, and most pedestrians didn't even bother to play umbrellas with this level of rain, and the streets were still full of traffic.

Mu Cheng didn't dare to go to a crowded place, so he took shelter from the rain, covered his forehead with his hand when crossing the street, and swept through the market with brisk steps.

He's going to check out last night's inn.

Suddenly, the same rain dodge man hit him head-on, Mu Cheng dodged and dodged, the man turned around a little embarrassed, and shouted, "I'm sorry!" Then it hurriedly disappeared into the rain.

Mu Cheng vigilantly touched the paperwork in his sleeve, which was the complaint handed to him by Bai Ling this morning.

After a while, he went to the inn, and Mu Cheng had to run to the back door of the yamen of Huizhou Mansion and throw this complaint into the nameless box over there.

The content of the complaint is very simple - anonymously accusing the Yongping Dart Bureau of smuggling military rations, and the evidence is in the temporary warehouse of the Yongping Dart Bureau.

……

"What is Songqing doing?" Li Yiru asked.

Bai Ling did not react.

"Songqing?" Li Yiru shouted again.

Bai Ling suddenly realized that the young man was calling out to herself at this time, and she turned around, "What? ”

"What are you crouching there looking at?" Li Yiru moved over and looked down at Bai Ling's gaze, "They have been transporting grain here all morning." ”

Bai Ling nodded, "It seems that I will leave tomorrow." ”

The empty house is on the second floor, and in the aisle under the window at this moment, a group of young men are carrying grain bags to go out, their steps are steady and slow, and the unloaded goods are running back briskly, and the people on both sides are consciously clinging to the wall on their right to avoid bumping into each other.

"Let's let one go!" A man pushes a wheelbarrow out of the middle of the aisle.

The others burst into laughter.

"Just a few steps and a car!"

"It's better to carry it and save trouble."

"Go, go!" The man pushing the cart pouted, "I don't know where these grain bags are hooked, they are all scratched, I am pulling them to reload!" ”

Bai Ling and Li Yi, who were upstairs, raised the corners of their mouths as they coincidentally, revealing a silent smile.

Bai Ling withdrew his gaze and turned to sit against the wall.

"Looks like they're probably going to leave tonight." Li Yiru said softly, "When are we going to leave here?" ”

"Let's wait for the news from Brother Mu first." "I guess there's a lot of noise out there right now, so let's get ready for both," he replied. Either we will wait for everything to come to light and we will clear our sins, or we will mix in this batch of grain and sneak out of the city together......"

"Okay," Li Yiru nodded, "Then are we going to the scar man's house?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head, "Since Brother Mu said that he couldn't go, then he won't go." I was thinking that there might be a letter or some other clue in the house...... At that time, even if we fall into the hands of the Huizhou Mansion Yamen, we will have evidence that we can confront each other. ”

Li Yiru glanced at Bai Ling with bright eyes, "What did Song Qing do before, I feel that you are good at it, and your brain is turning fast." ”

“…… Accompanying children to study in a large family's house. Bai Ling said softly.

"Scholar's ???"

“…… Well. Bai Ling nodded, "Yes, it's the scholar." ”

"Did you escape, then?"

Bai Ling tilted his head in confusion, "...... How do you know? ”

Li Yiru sighed, "The clerks in my family basically entered the house after pressing the deed of sale...... My mother didn't let them go home during the New Year's holidays, and she beat and scolded them at every turn, and deducted their monthly money, and I heard them discussing how to escape several times. ”

"It's miserable." Bai Ling whispered.

Li Yiru's expression looked a little awkward, and his expression stopped talking.

Bai Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, "...... Have you bullied them too? ”

"Nope." Li Yiru replied categorically, and then reluctantly looked away, "...... It shouldn't be considered bullying. ”

Bai Ling hummed meaningfully.

"That's it...... They made an escape plan, where to put something, how to go after they went out, and so on," Li Yiru's expression was complicated, "Because I heard it all...... Then I ran ahead of their schedule. ”

"And rolled up their money?" Bai Ling said tentatively.

“…… There are also baggage. Li Yiru replied honestly.

"Okay." Bai Ling sighed with deep eyes, "It's not easy to stay in that house. ”

"Does Songqing also have tattoos on his body?" Li Yiru asked, "Our servants, servants, and servants will tattoo a family crest on their back shoulders. ”

Bai Ling was a little surprised, "Do you still have a family crest in your house?" ”

"Hmm."

In a way...... This is no ordinary big family.

How can this young man's identity become more and more outrageous......

"What's your family crest?"

Li Yiru pinched out a golden leaf, "That's it...... Chuanning Li, has Songqing heard of it? ”

"Nope." Bai Ling shook her head honestly, thinking of Ai Songqing's "Chuzhou Ai Clan", she tilted her head and asked, "Is your father's branch upwards also a big family that lasts for a hundred years?" ”

"It's not." Li Yiru shook his head, "The family of the old Li family has been defeated by my grandfather's ancestors, and my grandfather can't make money, I heard that he was originally from Jingzhou, and in the end I don't know why he ran to Shuzhou Mansion to settle down, and he was poor and white in the early years...... Later, when my father's generation came to prosper again. ”

Bai Ling frowned slightly—it didn't sound like a very powerful old family.

Doesn't it add up to two generations? Why is it "Chuanning Lee"......

"Then your father is not easy." Bai Ling said softly, "This can be regarded as a self-made man." ”

"Huh?" Li Yiru was stunned for a moment, "Oh, no! My dad was a big deal. My family's house, mountain villa...... It's all my mother's dowry. ”

"Eh......" Bai Ling was also stunned for a moment, always feeling that something was not right.

"Chuanning Li is my mother's mother's family." Li Yiru scratched his head, and continued, "But my father's surname is also Li, and when I was a child, my grandfather often corrected me in private, saying that I can't be regarded as following my mother's surname, haha." ”

Li Yiru was about to ask Bai Ling where he was a scholar in a big family before, when he heard a sudden sound from the window on the other side - Mu Cheng had returned.
