When Li Changliang and Li Yunchong first arrived in the capital, they didn't dare to go to the county king's mansion, but went to Zhuang Rou's house, after all, compared to this, this small family seems to be easier to contact.

Like a high-ranking family like the county king's mansion, it feels like the letter will be intercepted at the door, and it will not be sent in at all.

This mother-in-law lives alone, and has prepared a room for each of the two brothers and sisters, although it is a little old but still clean.

There was something in his heart, and before the two of them slept, Liu Mi came over to pat the courtyard door.

Hearing that Zhuang Rou's brother wanted to see them, Li Changliang wanted to go by himself, but after thinking about it, he still brought his sister with him. Don't worry about leaving her here, it's better to go over together.

The two followed Liu Mi to the next door, and when they entered the front hall, they saw a man sitting there, with an air of elegance all over his body, and he felt that his knowledge must be very high without opening his mouth.

"Please sit down, in Xia Zhuang Xuewen, she is Zhuang Rou's brother, she didn't cause trouble to the two of you, right?" Zhuang Xuewen said with a pleasant face.

Li Changliang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "How dare you dare, Lord Zhuang is chivalrous in the world, and has saved the lives of our two brothers and sisters more than once." If it weren't for Lord Zhuang's reminder, my brother and sister would have been trapped in Hongzhou by now. ”

Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, "I heard that she brought a letter?" ”

"This ...... Nor is it an epistle. Li Changliang was a little embarrassed, took out the letter carefully wrapped in oil paper from his arms, and handed it to Zhuang Xuewen with both hands.

He didn't know why, looking at Zhuang Rou, a very knowledgeable brother, he obviously had a gentle attitude, but he felt a sense of oppression. I can't help but want to be respectful to him.

I couldn't help but guess in my heart, although the house here is not big, it doesn't look like a place for dignitaries. But Lord Zhuang has become such a big official as a woman, and her brother must not be bad.

This sense of oppression that is not annoying should be the momentum brought by being in a high position.

Zhuang Xuewen looked at the letter, and sure enough, it was Zhuang Rou's words, it turned out that he wanted to help this person find something to do. This kind of is just a trivial matter, since people are here, they have to bring some news back.

He asked Zhuang Rou about his whereabouts, and Li Changliang told everything he knew, as well as the current situation in Hongzhou, and even did not hide his family's affairs, and told them all.

When Zhuang Xuewen received Mo Zuo's letter, he guessed that Zhuang Rou would not come back and would stay in Hongzhou. If Chu Xia insisted that she stay, she would definitely not leave, but she would not necessarily be very desperate.

Now in the name of thinking that she is good, he cheats her out, which is to hook her to the point. Zhuang Rou will definitely go back because of this matter, and she will work harder.

She is so naïve, easy to fall into the trap of good-looking men.

This Chu Xia really didn't disappoint.

Zhuang Xuewen put away the letter and handed it back to Li Changliang, "You can take the letter, what the little sister promised will naturally count." You first find a place to settle in the capital, and when I make arrangements, I will send someone to inform you. ”

"Thank you, Childe." Li Changliang didn't know what his identity was, but he agreed with his mouth, and he must have his own ability, but he won't offend the other party when he finds an opportunity to inquire.

He got up and took his leave, the matter had already been decided, and it was not good to stay here any longer to disturb people's rest.

"Little sister, let's go back first." He turned around and wanted to call Li Yunchong, but saw that she was quietly staring at Zhuang Xuewen, and didn't hear his words at all.

Li Changliang was embarrassed for a while, quickly pulled Li Yun's sleeve, and led her to leave in a hurry. Such a big girl stared at the man non-stop, like something!

When the two left, Zhuang Xuewen washed up and turned off the lights and fell asleep, and Liu Mi also went back to the room when he saw the young master sleeping, and soon fell asleep.

There was no movement in the courtyard, Zhuang Xuewen took advantage of the moonlight outside the window, put on a cloak, lifted a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and revealed a small wooden door behind it. He pushed the door open and stepped in, and the painting closed to block the door, and inside was a dark passageway.

Lighting a candlestick in the hole in the wall, he walked a hundred or so steps with the candlestick in it, and came to the opposite side of the secret passage, where there was also a door.

I turned off the lights and pushed the door out, and there was a warehouse full of goods outside. This door is made in a cabinet, with several layers of shelves nailed on it, and some cloth goods that do not make a sound even if they are dropped.

After Zhuang Xuewen came out, he pushed the door back, it looked like it was just an ordinary cabinet with goods, and he couldn't tell that it was a secret door at all.

He swaggered out of the warehouse like this, and neither the guys in the store nor the shopkeeper seemed to see him.

When he walked to the store, Zhuang Xuewen put the hood on his cloak on his head, covering his head and face.

A guy with a paper bag immediately followed him, and handed the paper bag over after delivering it to the door, "Thank you for your patronage, the guest officer will walk slowly, and the small one will lead the horse for you." ”

This is already the Ji family miscellaneous shop separated by two streets of Calyx Lane, which is the largest miscellaneous shop in the surrounding area. Whether it is the food and clothing of ordinary people, or ordinary miscellaneous farming tools, as long as you can think of something, you can buy it here.

The man took out a horse from the horse alley on the side of the store, as if Zhuang Xuewen was a customer who came to the store to buy something, and delivered the horse to him.

After seeing him get on the horse, the guy also beckoned him to come back next time, and his smooth movements and demeanor would not make people suspect that Zhuang Xuewen had not entered the store at all.

At this time, the city gate has not been closed, even if it is closed, Zhuang Xuewen has a way to get out of the city. After he left the city, he went to a house outside the capital, and four people came out to greet him.

Throwing the horse to them, Zhuang Xuewen took off his hood and walked inside and said, "I want to see that thing." ”

"Now?" One of them was stunned, "Brother Wen, that guy's temperament is getting worse and worse, except for the eldest lady and you, no one else can get close to him." I wanted to run out a few days ago, but I finally got it back, and now I'm so irritable that I can't do it. ”

Zhuang Xuewen didn't stop, his eyes swept over the person who spoke, and went directly to the backyard.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard the roar of wild beasts and the thumping of cages.

There was an iron cage more than two feet wide in the courtyard, and each iron bar was as thick as a fist, and it was still hit by the things inside as if it could not support it and was about to break.

There were more than a dozen people around, dragging a few large baskets of fruits over, trying to appease the beasts inside, but they didn't dare to approach at all.

Zhuang Rouwen approached the iron cage, and the people around him couldn't help but remind: "Brother Wen, be careful." ”

"What are you making a fuss about?" He walked over to the iron cage and asked, the beast inside stopped, but there was still a heavy panting sound, obviously not appeased, but only forced to be irritable.

A furry palm stretched out from the iron cage, the fingers were black and thick like ordinary people, and the beast inside let out a low purr.

Zhuang Xuewen looked at it, and in the frightened eyes of everyone, he put his hand on the palm, "Yinba, I'll send you to see Zhuang Rou." ”

Bang!

The iron cage was violently slammed, which frightened everyone into exclaiming, but Zhuang Xuewen didn't move, still holding its hand and said, "Yinba, if you want to see her, you have to suffer a little." When you see her, you will be free, and even if you kill someone by mistake, you will no longer be locked in a cage. ”

Yinba was taller, stronger and more lethal than before at this time, it understood Zhuang Xuewen's words and beat his chest.

Zhuang Xuewen smiled slightly, "Very good, I'll send you away tonight, but you have to stay in the cage for the time being." When someone gives you meat to eat, you can break free from the cage and go to her. ”
