Chapter XVII
Yan Ran's words made Zhao Liusi both strange and shocked.
It was the first time she had heard Yan Ran describe his father's affairs so clearly, although she couldn't make up for the tragedy of the battlefield that year, but it was impossible for an army to die so inexplicably without causing a little movement.
Therefore, the silence behind this makes people feel chills down their spines.
Zhao Liu Si could still think of this, it was impossible for Liu Sheng to be unaware of this person, so he just looked at Yan Ran very indifferently, "Then what you are facing is not just about finding someone." ”
"Or rather, the person you're looking for isn't that easy to find." He paused and added.
"I know." Yan Ran's attitude was already very peaceful, and she even smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "When I left Beijing, they all said I was crazy. ”
Liu Sheng frowned, "I don't want to deal with a madman. ”
"Don't worry, I'm just trying to understand a doubt and give myself an explanation. I didn't want to turn the world upside down, let alone alarm the people of the Nine Heavens. Yan Ran pointed to it and smiled easily, "You drag your family with you, I'm not a bachelor, we are not easy, but there are some things, as long as you are a man, you have to give yourself an explanation, otherwise here, you can't get by." ”
He said, patting his chest.
Liu Sheng thought for a moment, then nodded, "As long as you don't make trouble, just say that you can help you find out the truth." ”
"That's what I thought, too. Although you have a big family and a big business, your manpower may not be as convenient as mine. Yan Ran smiled and explained her intentions, "Hu Aniu's case, I will find out the truth." At present, it seems that it is possible that the person who is afraid that I will find out the truth about the tiger ben back then will kill him and obstruct him, but it is also possible that he does not want to be killed by the people who you find out who is dealing with the two young ladies of the Liu family. The probability of both, half and half. ”
Liu Sheng thought about it but shook his head, "Let's exchange to check." When I investigated the fact that the eldest lady was framed, it was easy to startle the snake. If you investigate the matter of the tiger ben, it is easy to make people suspicious, then you can help me find out that the eldest lady was framed back then, and I will help you investigate the matter of the tiger ben. ”
Yan Ran was stunned for a moment, and then showed surprise on her face, "Yes, this is a method, why didn't I think of it before." ”
"I've always wanted to find someone to do this, but unfortunately I can't find someone to trust." Liu Sheng said lightly, unimpressed by the compliment.
"You trust me so much?" Yan Ran asked with a smile, did he think that Liu Sheng was a person who easily trusted others.
"I don't trust you, I just trust interests." Liu Sheng looked at him mockingly, "If there are things to exchange, I can rest assured that I will leave my back to others." ”
Yan Ran was slightly stunned, and finally stretched out her hand to Liu Sheng with a smile, "That, happy cooperation." ”
"It's a pleasure to work with."

"Oh, Miss dozed off again, didn't she go to bed early yesterday?" Chunxiang helped Zhao Liusi dress up, while nagging incomprehensibly.
"Yawn." Zhao Liusi yawned again, and then muttered with half-closed eyes, "I didn't sleep well last night, I had a nightmare all night, I only remember walking around on the roof, and I woke up feeling like I hadn't slept all night." ”
She really didn't sleep all night yesterday, there was no way, Liu Sheng and Yan Ran formed a temporary alliance, and then the two exchanged information together, told about what they had found before, and listed the requirements for each other. Both cases are old and backlogged, and both of them have checked a lot of things, so it took most of the day just to tell each other what they had found and speculated. Zhao Liusi didn't dare to leave, so he could only stay up late with the two of them and wait for them to finish speaking before leaving.
When Yan Ran left, it was almost dawn.
So she basically just returned to her body, and before she closed her eyes, it was time to get up. Theoretically, her body had been resting last night and should not be so sleepy, but the human spirit always disobeyed her, telling her ...... She was sleepy.
"Would you like another sleep?" Chunxiang's hand to help Zhao Liusi comb her hair was three points lighter.
Anyway, Zhao Liusi is an idler, and he doesn't have anything serious, so it doesn't matter if he sleeps or not.
"No, I have something important to do today." Zhao Liusi closed his eyes, said vaguely, and then took the bird's nest porridge brought over next to him and drank it all, "You comb it simply, I'm going out today." ”
"Didn't Master Liu say that he wouldn't let you go out?" Chunxiang asked in surprise, but seeing that Zhao Liusi didn't explain, she didn't bother with her docile personality, and replied obediently, "Okay." ”
Barely coping with breakfast, Zhao Liusi ran to the door without saying a word, she heard Liu Sheng and Yan Ran say last night that she would go to the Chamber of Commerce today to help him inquire about the news of the year, and she didn't want to miss the gossip, so she planned to stop people directly at the door.
Black's range of movement is still too limited, and if it's far from home, it can only be done by real people.
Zhao Liusi ran all the way, leaving behind a group of maids who shouted that she was behaving inappropriately, and then blocked Liu Sheng, who was about to go out, at the door.
"What do you do?" Liu Sheng looked at her suspiciously, and then looked at the empty one behind her, and subconsciously frowned, "What about your maids?" ”
"Uncle, take a step to speak!" Zhao Liusi, who had already thought of countermeasures on the road just now, took a step forward, showed an anxious and uneasy look, and looked behind him, "I deliberately got rid of them and talked to you." ”
Liu Sheng looked at her with a more strange gaze, but the good thing was that he didn't let her go.
"I feel like I'm in danger!" Seeing this, Zhao Liusi could only take cruel medicine and pretend to be afraid.
When Liu Sheng heard this, his face changed, and he followed Zhao Liusi to a secluded place on the side of the door, and then said as if facing a great enemy, "Say it." ”
"I don't know what's going on, but since I got home, I always felt like someone was watching me, but every time I looked back, I felt like no one was there." Zhao Liusi said pretendly, and took his sleepiness last night as an example, "I don't know what happened, I went to bed very early last night, but I woke up this morning and felt very sleepy and sore, as if I stayed up all night yesterday." ”
"Did you eat anything you shouldn't eat?" Zhao Liusi's sluggish Liu Sheng is visible to the naked eye, so he paid attention to it at the moment.
"No, it's just a normal meal." Zhao Liusi looked at Liu Sheng with a pitiful look, "I feel that someone wants to harm me, but I don't know who that person is and where he is hiding?" ”
"Did someone drugged your food?" Liu Sheng didn't doubt that he had him, and followed Zhao Liusi's train of thought to deduce, "Or is there someone around you who has been bought?" ”
"I don't know." Zhao Liusi's face was full of innocence.
"Or, change all the people around you," Liu Sheng pondered for a moment before making up his mind, "I'll change the yard for you." ”
"Don't," Zhao Liusi grabbed Yan Ran's hand, Chunxiang and the maids were very good to her, she didn't want to innocently make people unemployed, so she opened her mouth to stop her, "Uncle, I've also thought about this method, but in this way, the action is too big, I'm afraid it will scare away the people in the dark." ”
"Besides," she licked her lips and said softly and innocently, "who can guarantee that the newly replaced people, the newly replaced yard, will be absolutely safe?" Maybe those in the shadows will fall right into it. ”
As soon as Zhao Liusi said this, Liu Sheng also hesitated, looking at the maids who had already caught up, but were standing not far away and waiting, and did not dare to approach, they did not speak.
He is also a person who has seen the wind and rain, and has experienced countless plots and betrayals along the way, and he knows that people's hearts are not so easy to see, and trust is easier said than done.
In this world, he only believes in himself.
Thinking that when he changed horses and galloped back, only to see the empty courtyard, his heart suddenly ached, and then he reached out and put his hand on Zhao Liusi's shoulder.
"Come with me." He suddenly said, "Eat the same food as me, ride in the same carriage, and even if something happens to you, I can protect you." ”
Zhao Liusi had originally hit this idea, but he didn't expect that before she could say it, he had already said it, and he was overjoyed at the moment, but he was still desperately reserved, and his appearance was very embarrassed and hesitant, "In this way, it's not good, will it affect your work." ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I took you out to see someone." Liu Sheng is a resolute person, since he has made up his mind, he immediately implemented it, and instructed the visitor, "Your young lady will go out with me today, you don't have to wait in front of you, go back." ”
Chunxiang, Park's mother and the others were all in disbelief, especially Park's mother, who subconsciously retorted, "Miss, a big girl's family, how can you show your head, Brother Sheng, your approach is a bit inappropriate." ”
"Miss will be the heir of the Liu family in the future, of course, you have to meet the stewards first, how is it inappropriate." Liu Sheng glared at her, and then instructed his little servant, "I'll take Miss to the hall first, you clean up at home, and I'll send a copy of Miss's usual things later." ”
"Yes." Liu Sheng's little servant is much more clever and never goes against his will.
"Let's go." Liu Sheng patted Zhao Liusi's back and turned around and walked down. Zhao Liusi's reaction was half a second slower, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly trotted to follow.
Uncle Liu is so resolute that she can't reach her.
Although Liu Sheng can ride a horse, he has a lot of affairs to deal with, so he usually chooses to travel by car. The two got into the car, Zhao Liusi looked here and there curiously, and found that it was much larger than the ordinary carriage, like a small house that moved. It's not so gorgeous that it's not necessarily gorgeous, but there are a lot of things, especially the scholar who sent a box with him, Zhao Liusi thought it was a snack, and the guest maid helped open it, but found that it was a thick pile of account books.
Liu Sheng, who understood Zhao Liusi's disappointed eyes, sat down very comfortably, and then opened the account book to check the accounts, "Very disappointed? ”
"It's not. I've just heard people say that when the carriage is big, there are a lot of pastimes on it, such as tea, wine, snacks, chess pieces, and so on. Why don't you have anything here? Zhao Liusi found a place to sit down, opened the secret box under the armrest, and found that it was indeed another pile of papers.
"That's to make a carriage for pastime, I don't even have serious time, where is the pastime." Liu Sheng said as he took out his pen, "I'll ask them to bring you some gadgets later, but don't eat in my car." ”
