Bai Haohong listened to Lizi's story, was angry and funny, and said: "You weave cloth and buy fish for me every day? You can figure it out! If that's the case, you'll eat it yourself, and I won't even be able to drink the soup. You gluttonous worm can make up this kind of story! Bai Haohong was afraid that Lizi would be cranky and worried that the family would have no money, so he told Lizi about Li Fengling's jewelry.

After listening to this, Lizi said: "Brother Bai, although Xiangye is a loyal minister, I heard that he is so stingy, I think that he sold his daughter's jewelry, and he definitely did not go to support people in need." It is said that the cook of the Xiangfu family was burned, and he went to Yiming to buy medicine, and complained that the Xiangye was so stingy, and the cooks in other people's homes paid for the medicine, and the servants of the Xiangfu were injured, and the medicine had to be paid out of his own pocket! ”

Lizi saw that Bai Haohong was listening carefully, so he continued: "I also heard that Xiangye not only hates corrupt officials, but also hates people who love to be greedy for small and cheap things, and he has to read the bill every day in order to prevent servants from being greedy for his food money. People are multi-faceted, Xiangye is heartfelt to the court, very honest, but he also has a mean side, maybe he is lustful......"

When Bai Haohong heard this, he interrupted Lizi's words and said, "Don't learn from Yiming to spread rumors, don't talk nonsense if there is no basis in the future!" ”

Liz asked, "Xiangye is very tall and so frugal, so he shouldn't be in debt." Why is such a large sum of money suddenly needed? ”

"I'm not Yiming, I won't guess."

After lunch, Bai Haohong returned to the head-catching room and discussed with Zhan Xue about an unannounced visit to Maru County. Because Zhan Xue wanted to enhance the relationship between Lizi and Bai Haohong, she insisted on taking Lizi with her, and said two reasons: first, taking Lizi can confuse Xiang Lao Thief even more; Second, Maru County is very safe, and there are almost no bandits. Bai Haohong felt that it made sense, so he agreed to Zhan Xue's suggestion.

Because Bai Cheng wanted Xu Feiyan to become the mistress of the Bai Mansion, in the evening, he secretly told Xu Feiyan that Bai Haohong was going back to his hometown. After Xu Feiyan learned the news, she immediately found Bai Haohong and proposed to go back to her hometown with him, but Bai Haohong was inconvenient to refuse, so he agreed.

Early the next morning, Zhan Xue came to Bai Mansion, and when she was about to leave, Lizi came over with a heavy burden, and Bai Haohong saw this and said, "Lizi, put your luggage in the car where you checked your luggage." ”

Liz smiled when she heard this, and said, "Brother Bai, this is not luggage, it is the fruit we ate on the road, I carry it myself, and it is convenient to pick it up." ”

Xu Feiyan has always felt that Lizi has not figured out her identity, as an orphan with no background at all, Lizi's treatment in Baifu is too high, the cost is too large, and there are constantly fresh fruits every day, every time she sees Lizi eat like this, Xu Feiyan feels distressed. It's just a matter of eating at home, and even taking it with you when you go out, because she usually accumulates too much dissatisfaction with Liz in terms of expenses, Xu Feiyan endured it for a long time, and finally didn't hold back, and said angrily: "Hmph! I even brought fruit when I went out! ”

Bai Haohong looked at Xu Feiyan puzzled and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Xu Feiyan is a smart person, and when she saw Bai Haohong asking like this, she hurriedly replied: "If you eat fruit without washing, it is easy to have diarrhea." ”

Liz said: "Sister Feiyan, don't worry, I have washed these fruits beforehand. Moreover, a woman who eats more fruits will get better for her skin. ”

When Zhan Xue heard this, she immediately took an apple and ate it.

Lizi asked Xu Feiyan: "Sister Feiyan, do you want to have one too?" ”

Xu Feiyan still said unhappily: "I don't believe this." ”

Bai Haohong asked Zhan Xue with a smile: "Zhan Xue, when did you become so concerned about your skin?" ”

Lizi replied for Zhanxue: "Of course, it was changed after knowing Tang Gongzi, and women are allowed to please themselves." ”

Everyone laughed and went on the road.

On the way, Bai Haohong found a remote place to stop the car, told everyone the true purpose of the trip, and put on makeup and changed everyone's appearance. In the evening, the group arrived in Maru County and stayed in the inn.

The next day, Lizi stayed at the inn to write a novel, and Bai Haohong took Zhan Xue and Xu Feiyan to ride to Nanjiang Village. On the way, Bai Haohong recounted the fact that he found a red handkerchief near the scene of the crime, and presumed that in Zhang Yuanwai's case, a survivor fled to Nanjiang Village.

Bai Haohong and the three of them inquired in Nanjiang Village for a long time, and they all got the same answer: no one has fled into the village recently, only many people have come to inquire about the news. Bai Haohong and the others left Nanjiang Village disappointed and returned to the inn.

Bai Haohong returned to his room and saw Lizi lying in his quilt and falling asleep, so he called Zhan Xue, and Xu Feiyan also followed. Zhan Xue couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and Xu Feiyan almost went crazy, thinking: "Lizi actually slept in Big Brother Bai's bed, this guy is too bold." I only dare to fantasize once in a while that Liz dares to do it! Today, I was working hard outside, and my relationship with Big Brother Bai didn't make any progress at all, so Liz was good and occupied the nest in the inn. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Feiyan walked over angrily, lifted the quilt, and pulled Liz up. Lizi opened her eyes and saw Bai Haohong standing in front of her, and hurriedly said, "Brother Bai, I wrote a novel for a day, and I was tired and sleepy, so I fell asleep unconsciously. ”

Xu Feiyan said indignantly: "Lie! I fell asleep unconsciously, I should have slept on the table, how could I lie on the bed and cover the quilt?! Why sleep here if you want to go back to your room! ”

Lizzie's face flushed, and she didn't respond again, because she did take advantage of Bai Haohong's absence, lying in his quilt, thinking about Bai Haohong and falling asleep. Liz didn't want to be held accountable for this matter anymore, so she hurriedly found three oranges, handed them to the three of them, and then asked, "Brother Bai, are you going well today?" ”

Xu Feiyan still said dissatisfiedly: "It's not going well. It's like you, it's so comfortable. ”

Liz smiled: "That's because there is no little lucky star like me, otherwise, you will be successful." ”

Xu Feiyan didn't want Lizi to "take advantage" again, so she immediately said: "Okay, you go out with us tomorrow, I want to see and see, are you a lucky star or a broom star." ”

After pausing for a while, Xu Feiyan said again: "I helped Brother Bai change the sheets, pillows, and quilts, and the ones that Lizi slept with must have been dirty." After speaking, Xu Feiyan began to change the bedding.

The next day, Bai Haohong decided to go to Aunt Pan, because her daughter worked as a maid at Zhang Yuanwai's house before the crime, so Bai Haohong wanted to ask: When Zhang Yuanwai escaped, who else might he take with him. So the four of them came to Pan's house.

Aunt Pan was setting up a stall in front of her house to sell noodles, and each of the four asked for a bowl, and Aunt Pan was very happy because her business at this noodle stall was not very good. After eating the noodles, Bai Haohong explained his intention and asked to see her daughter, and Aunt Pan replied happily: "Yes, you are lucky, my daughter will enter Beijing in two days." ”

Aunt Pan brought everyone into the house and called her daughter Sun Ying. Sun Ying and Bai Haohong finished their salutes, and after being polite, they asked, "Lord Bai, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
