After listening to Hua Li's words about Lu Li's plan, Wang Shang got up and said in shock: "What did you say?" Does he really want to take the county lord back? ”

"Anyway, that's what he said, saying that if you can't find out who is targeting the county lord, then you have to take the county lord and leave Canglan." Hua Li frowned tightly and reported anxiously: "Also, he said that even if the king has 10,000 ways to stop him, he will have 10,000 ways to leave Canglan!" ”

After speaking, Hua Li stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what should I do?" In case Lu Li really left with the county lord, then-"

"No way!" Wang Shang frowned and said in a deep voice, "You must not let them leave." ”

The king walked around the hall and thought for a long time, then frowned and ordered: "Xuan Li Lin comes, saying that Gu has something important to discuss with him, let him come immediately!" ”

After giving all this instructions, the king walked up to Hua Li and said, "Your caravan has just returned from Shangjing, so you shouldn't need to leave Canglan again in the short term, and you must go to the county lord's mansion often during this time, and you must not let them leave unnoticed, you know?" ”

Hearing this, Hua Li drooped in embarrassment, "Your Majesty, I... What excuse should I use to go? What if Lu Li's suspicion is aroused and he leaves early? ”

"Then it's not a lonely thing, you think about it yourself, think about what to do."

"Wang Shang......" Where could Hua Li think of a way, he raised his eyes to look at Wang Shang, hung his head dejectedly, and said: "This... As soon as I heard about this, I immediately came to the palace to report it to the king, but now that you have given me such a big problem, I knew that I might as well not come! ”

Of course, Holley didn't really want to care about this matter, and the reason why he said these words was just to attract the attention of the king, so that the other party could arrange an excuse for himself, so that he would not be in an embarrassing situation.

Huali's careful thinking, how could the king not see it.

Therefore, after Hua Li finished speaking, Wang Shang smiled, "Okay, then Gu will give you an excuse that is bright and will not arouse suspicion." ”

As he spoke, the king turned around and slowly returned to the couch, and said thoughtfully: "I heard that some time ago, did the county lord select the maids from various provinces who wanted to learn embroidery?" Lone estimates that in the next few days, it should be time for them to enter the county lord's mansion to learn the craft, so you might as well use this excuse to go. ”

"Also, in order to save you from the bandits, the county lord ransom all her savings, and now she can't even guarantee the most basic life in her mansion. Holley, do you know what to do? ”

"The king is wise!" Hua Li suddenly brightened up, and showed a frown, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay, it's not too early, you go back first, and then think of other ways to do the rest, you just need to do your thing."

Coincidentally, after letting Huali leave, Li Lin also arrived.

Admiral Wang told the other party what Fang Caili said, and then asked: "Li Lin, according to Gu, this Lu Li is a master who can do what he says, in case he really takes the county lord away, all the manpower and material resources that Gu invested in the early stage will be lost." You'll have to help Gu find a way to keep them! ”

After hearing all this, Li Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, according to the views of the ministers, I think Lu Li should not leave directly. Didn't Holley say it? He thinks that someone in the city is deliberately targeting their family, so he finds the person behind the arrest, and if he can't catch it, then he will leave. ”

"But as long as he can catch the person who keeps targeting them, or," Li Lin raised his eyes and raised a meaningful smile, "as long as we can help him catch the person who keeps targeting him, won't we be able to keep him?" ”

In fact, if it weren't for Su Xiaoman's family to stay, Li Lin would not have come up with such an idea, after all, this approach is not a good strategy, it is really a helpless move.

Wang Shang frowned, "According to what you said, then we don't have to think about how to leave Lu Li now, but we should think about who is targeting the county lord's family in this city?" ”

"That's right." Li Lin nodded and said solemnly: "Actually, the king also knows, especially after King Rong made a fuss last time, this is not a secret." As soon as the county lord comes, he will be busy with this and that, once he succeeds, it will bring great convenience to Bei'an City, but at the same time, it will also damage the interests and status of many people, such as Cha Liang last time. ”

After speaking, Li Lin looked at the other party's face, slowed down his tone, and used his words more carefully: "After the king ascended the throne, the forces of all parties in this city were even more ready to move, but they had not found a suitable gap before, and now they ......"

Although the other party did not finish speaking, the king knew in his heart what the other party wanted to say.

Therefore, the king sighed and hung his head helplessly; "You are clear about these stocks, but ..... This can't be changed overnight, plus Lu Li is still Donglan's Zhenguo Gong after all, Lone doesn't want him to know and see this, and it is also to make him mistakenly think that Lone's Canglan are all people who play with intrigues. ”

"The king's concerned ministers are clear," Li Lin nodded, and said, "But the most important thing now is to help the prince of Zhenguo, so that he can find the person who has been targeting them, so that he can not only keep the county lord's family, but also see who in the Qing Dynasty has such selfish intentions and dares to be a traitor under the king's nose." ”

"In that case, then you can assign a few people to secretly help Zhenguo Gong and protect their family by the way."

Li Lin got up and bowed down to receive the order, "Yes, the minister obeys the order." ”

It was getting late, the whole Bei'an City was quiet, the candles and lights of every house were extinguished one by one, and everyone fell asleep.

The county lord's mansion was no exception, and the candles in the huge mansion were also extinguished one by one, but only the largest bedroom in the backyard kept the candles on, and two talking figures were reflected in the window.

Jade and Pearl were driven to sleep by Xiaoman, and only Xiaoman and Lu Li were left in the house.

Only at this time can Xiao Man take off all his defenses and disguises, face each other honestly, and reveal his sufferings and difficulties one by one, without the slightest vigilance.

"I did make a lot of money today, in the past, this money was enough for us to live for several months, but now ......" Xiao Man looked at the ten taels of silver on the table, supported his chin with both hands, and frowned: "This money can support the expenses of the government for a few days at most, and if it comes to the day of pay, these silver are not enough for people's monthly money." ”

Lu Li sighed, looked at the bit of silver on the table, and said, "Otherwise, I'll sell some of the things I raised in the suburbs first, so that I can make up for these shortfalls as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man raised his eyes and looked at the other party, "But... But those pheasants and hares can't pay much money, and those are your hard work, so it's a pity to sell them for nothing. ”

After speaking, Xiaoman sighed again and thought: It's not difficult to be a housewife, but it's really too difficult to be a housewife with no money.

"You're right, but at the moment we don't have any money in our hands, and there is still a period of time before the day of the moon, even if you can make money by setting up a stall, you can't go out every day, right?" As he spoke, Lu Li raised his eyes and asked a little tentatively, "Why don't we take out the things that we can't use in the house and sell some of them first?" ”

To put it bluntly, it is to pawn some things so that you can get the most basic living expenses.

Xiao Man frowned in embarrassment, "Wouldn't this be good?" If I really can't help it, why don't I borrow some from the king? ”

Seeing that the other party was worried about money, and then carefully discussed with himself, Lu Lizhong couldn't help it, he sighed, lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, before he raised his head to look at the other party, and responded: "I'll figure out a way to deal with this matter, you go to rest first." ”

Saying that, Lu Li picked up the person, walked straight to the edge of the bed, and then put the person down, carefully and gently helped the other party cover the quilt, and said while tucking the quilt corner for Xiao Man: "Go to bed first, after all, even staying up late can't solve this matter." ”

"So what to do?" Xiao Man grabbed each other's arms and said, "We all came to Bei'an City together, I know your connections, what can you do?" Is it true that you want to borrow it from the king or someone? ”

Lu Li smiled slightly, "Xiaoman, you can do your own thing with peace of mind, and I'll figure out the rest." Don't worry, I won't do anything you don't want to do, I won't do it, don't worry, right? ”

"And where are you going to get the money?" Xiaoman asked.

"I haven't thought of it yet." After speaking, Lu Li laughed to himself, but soon, he regained his steady appearance, he squatted down, took the other party's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will get all this done as soon as possible, you don't have to worry about money anymore, you know?" ”

The man's voice was low and magnetic, as if he was born with a demagogic effect, coupled with Xiao Man's unconditional trust in Lu Li, so she quickly agreed to the other party, "Okay, but no matter what you do, you must discuss it with me in advance." ”

Lu Li nodded and smiled dotingly: "Okay." ”

Although it is guaranteed to be refreshing now, in fact, Lu Li himself didn't think of what to do.

After Xiaoman lay down obediently, in order not to worry the other party, Lu Li also went to bed, and then extinguished the candle, thinking to himself in the dark, where should he go to get some money?

After thinking about it all night, Lu Li still couldn't find a better way than pawning.

The next day, Lu Li was about to go out to have a look, so that he could find a suitable way as soon as possible, but before he could go out, Holley came to the door.

After Hua Li and the two of them exchanged pleasantries, they walked straight to Xiao Man, "County Lord, I just heard that you handed over all your savings to the thieves in order to save me, Hua Li is ashamed, he only found out about this matter today, so he didn't even be able to thank the County Lord!" ”
