Chapter 222: Seeing Zhao Shoubei Again
Yan Jibai took a sip of wine and asked Lu Yu: "Tomorrow you go to the town, are you alone?" ”
Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "I'll go by myself, if it's really surnamed Zhao, I'll bring him back." ”
"And what are you going to do with him? Killed? ”
"Killed?" After a long time, Lu Yu's desire to kill Zhao Shoubei was not as strong as before, and after hesitating, he said, "Let's see what Miss Fang wants to do with him." ”
Yan Yubai nodded, and he sighed again for some reason.
In the afternoon, Lu Yu took ten goats of all sizes into Anding Valley. This is the first time that the three little sheep have left the backyard of Lu Yu's house, and everything in the valley makes them feel fresh. The three lambs turned cautiously and looked at the valley for a few weeks, and then they started to run and jump in the valley.
He ate too much at noon, and Yan Xi sat by the stream and burped. Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang followed the stream, walking and picking small wildflowers by the stream.
Lu Yu sat on the grass and looked at the three of them from a distance.
The fruit trees in Anding Valley have grown so big that they are connected to the original woods, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between the old and the new. There was only a breeze in the valley, gently shaking the leaves and rattling.
Yan Xi'an made a wreath, and taught Lan Shaofang to also side one, and the two wreaths were put on Lu Yu and Yan Xiding's heads respectively. A long time ago, Yan Xi'an knitted a wreath to send to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu kept it for a long time before throwing it away.
Lu Yu took off the wreath on his head, put it on Yan Xi'an's head, and said with a smile: "You look good, you wear it." ”
"Of course I'm good-looking, hehe-hee." Yan Xi'an sat next to Lu Yu, straightened the garland on his head, and said, "Uncle, go to the town tomorrow and take me with you." ”
"Do you want to be together? Isn't it? ”
Yan Xi'an asked, "Why not?" You won't let me accompany you? ”
"Of course not." Lu Yu scratched his head and said, "I'm just going to see if the one surnamed Zhao brought back by Liang Gen is it." ”
"Then if it's really surnamed Zhao, will you bring him back?"
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Bring it back and give it to Miss Fang to dispose of." ”
"Hmm, did you say Miss Fang would kill him?"
"Maybe." Lu Yu couldn't think of what he would do if Fang Huaru didn't kill the surnamed Zhao.
Yan Xi'an nodded slowly, and suddenly asked again: "Uncle, you said Sister Fang, will you marry in the future?" ”
Lu Yu didn't know how to answer this question, but in his heart, of course, he hoped that Fang Huaru would be able to marry in the future.
Yan Xi'an said again: "Sister Fang is so pitiful, General Shan is so good." ”
"yes." Lu Yu sighed and unconsciously became complacent.
Yan Xi'an leaned lightly on Lu Yu and asked him softly, "Uncle, what are you thinking?" ”
Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "I didn't think about anything." ”
"Really?" Yan Xi'an's big bright eyes rolled and said, "I know what you're thinking. ”
"You know what?"
Yan Xi'an looked at Lu Yu and said, "I guessed, I don't allow you to think nonsense." ”
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Don't think nonsense, let's ...... We'll always be together. ”
Yan Xi'an nodded seriously, hugged one of Lu Yu's arms, and said, "Of course, we must always be together, forever and ever." ”
Lu Yu was in his heart for a day, and gently hugged Yan Xi'an's slender waist.
Early the next morning, Lu Yu went to Dunlin Town, he went by himself, and when he went out, Yan Xi'an and they hadn't gotten up yet.
The town guard yard has been repaired and taken care of, and the inside has become neat and clean, and there are not many people in the yard, only a few officials.
As soon as Liang Gen saw Lu Yu, he invited him into the lobby and ordered someone to serve tea.
This time it was a real "tea", in the white porcelain bowl, there were a few pieces of tender green tea leaves floating on the boiling water, and the tea leaves had not yet been boiled, but they had already wafted out a gentle aroma.
This is Lu Yu's first time drinking tea, and real tea leaves are soaked in boiling water. But Lu Yu was not in the mood to drink tea now, and after sitting down, he asked Liang Gen: "Liang Shoubei, is the person you said here?" ”
Liang Gen always seemed to have a smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, don't be impatient, let's taste this tea first." ”
Lu Yu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, the tea was very hot, Lu Yu didn't realize it, he drank half of it in one gulp, and even the tea leaves were swallowed by him.
"It's good, it's fragrant." Lu Yu really felt that the tea was very fragrant, but the taste didn't seem to be very good, except for the faint fragrance of tea, there was no other taste.
Liang Gen also took a shallow sip, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, Liang heard that Lin Siyao, the last county commander of Jinhua City, died in your hands?" ”
Lu Yu was shocked, but he said without changing his face: "Who did Liang Shoubei listen to?" Since Lin Siyan returned to Jinhua County, I haven't seen him. Lu Yu didn't panic, Lin Siyan didn't have a photo with Lu Yu from the time he came back to disappear again.
"Hehe, Mr. Lu don't have to be careful, Liang just asked casually." After a pause, Liang Gen continued: "Lin Siyan did something in Jinhua City, and the upper authorities also knew a little, even if Mr. Lu didn't kill him, the court wouldn't let him go. ”
Lu Yu said: "Liang Shoubei doesn't believe me, but Lin Siyao really didn't kill me." He smiled faintly twice and said, "I really wanted to kill him, but someone was the first to do it, and he was killed by his men." ”
"I see." Liang Gen nodded and said, "In addition to Lin Siyao, the predecessor of Dunlin Town Zhao Shoubei, Mr. Lu also wants to get rid of him." ”
Lu Yu nodded: "Indeed, the one surnamed Zhao killed a good friend of mine, I really wanted to kill him, but unfortunately he escaped." ”
Liang Gen said: "Zhao Shoubei has indeed left Jinhua City, and he has to go to the state capital to report the case. He shook his head with a smile and continued: "But unfortunately, the one surnamed Zhao was unlucky and fell into the hands of our brother. ”
Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said secretly: "Sure enough, the surname Zhao is in Liang Gen's hands, but I don't know if Liang Gen is willing to hand over the surname Zhao." Lu Yu said: "Liang Shoubei said that he wanted to give me 'one person', that is the one surnamed Zhao, right?" ”
"Yes, that's him." Liang Gen finally stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "The surname Zhao is not an official, and he is in cahoots with Lin Si, aiding and abusing, the court has already dealt with him, but he still wants to go to the state capital for help in a daze, he is really self-defeating, hehe." ”
Lu Yu smiled and asked again: "Can you bother Liang Shoubei and take me to meet him?" "Lu Yucai doesn't care if the imperial court wants to deal with the surname Zhao, he just wants to see him as soon as possible.
"Okay, after we finish drinking this bowl of tea, we'll go to see the person surnamed Zhao." Liang Gen kept smiling.
There was still half of the tea left in the bowl, Lu Yu picked up the bowl and drank it all, not even letting go of the tea leaves. The tea is not tasty and a bit bitter.
Liang Gen finished drinking the tea slowly, got up and took Lu Yu out of the town guard yamen courtyard, Zhao Shoubei was not locked up in the courtyard.
Out of the yard, I walked down an alley to the end, and came to another courtyard that was originally uninhabited. There were two errand officers in the courtyard, and when they saw Liang Gen and Lu Yu, they all greeted respectfully.
Zhao Shoubei was in a room in the courtyard, and Lu Yu had already sensed his aura.
Liang Gen didn't enter the house, just stood in the courtyard, and shouted unhurriedly: "Lord Zhao, there are old guests coming to see you, don't you come out?" ”
Lu Yu was a little excited, listening carefully to Zhao Shoubei's movements.
The people in the room didn't move, nor did they speak, and Liang Gen shouted again: "Lord Zhao, come out to see you, you have an old friend, I want to see you in a hurry." ”
I don't know why, Lu Yu felt that Liang Gen's tone was a bit "yin and yang", and he didn't like it very much.
This time Zhao Shoubei moved, he opened the door and walked out slowly. Obviously, Zhao Shoubei already knew that Lu Yu was outside, and after he came out, his face was pale, and he didn't go to see Lu Yu.
Lu Yu glanced at Zhao Shoubei a few times, it seemed that Zhao Shoubei had a bad life since he left Jinhua City, he had lost a lot of weight, and his face did not have the same look as before.
"Zhao Shoubei, this Mr. Lu, you should know each other, right?"
Lu Yu looked at Zhao Shoubei, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Shoubei still didn't look at Lu Yu, he stared at Liang Gen and said coldly: "Liang Shoubei, what do you mean by this?" ”
Liang Gen made a look of confusion and asked, "What do you mean?" Could it be that Zhao Shoubei didn't want to meet with the old man? ”
"Hmph." Zhao Shoubei flicked his sleeves and stopped talking.
Lu Yu couldn't guess why Liang Gen was talking so much nonsense, he couldn't hold it back, and said: "Liang Shoubei, I have a few words I want to ask this Lord Zhao, and I want to ask you for help." ”
"Well said." Liang Gen smiled: "Then let's go out first, Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself." After speaking, he waved his hand, and took two messengers out of the courtyard.
There were two people left in the courtyard, Lu Yu and Zhao Shoubei, and neither of them spoke for a while, very quiet.
Lu Yu found a chair and sat down, pointed to another chair, and motioned for Zhao Shoubei to sit down as well.
Zhao Shoubei hesitated for a moment, but still did it.
After being silent for a while, Lu Yu asked, "How do you know that my father's soul will be in the yamen?" "The last time Lu Yu saw Lao Lu, Lao Lu was already a weak soul, and Lu Yu always wanted to know why Zhao Shoubei knew that his father's soul was in the town guard yamen.
Zhao Shoubei snorted and said, "What's there." ”
Lu Yu was a little curious and asked, "Could it be that you can see ghosts?" ”
Zhao Shoubei snorted again and did not answer, perhaps to indicate acquiescence.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "It turned out that I was out of sight, and Zhao Shoubei turned out to be a 'master' with cultivation." He took a closer look at Zhao Shoubei a few more times, and found that there was indeed a faint sign of spiritual power fluctuations on his body, but this fluctuation was too subtle, and if he didn't observe carefully, he couldn't see it at all.
Zhao Shoubei glanced at Lu Yu with squinted eyes, and said coldly: "You are not as good as Mr. Lu, you are the real master." ”
Lu Yu said: "My father was not killed by you, and the culprit who killed Shan Tianfang was not you, so I will not kill you." After a pause, he said, "Shan Tianfang's wife who has not passed through the door wants to see you, and I have to take you to meet her." ”
Zhao Shoubei's face was like ashes, and he was silent.
