Yang Ruoning, Chapter 39
After more than a month of monitoring and tracking, Yang Ruoning did not gain anything. Luo Yuan's daily life is regular, except for that somewhat puzzling "wandering". Yang Ruoning couldn't figure out why he went around in such a big circle to buy things, obviously there was a closer route.
Yang Ruoning also quietly hid a miniature monitor on Uncle Zhong's body, and listened to it for several days, but there was nothing to gain. As the only miscellaneous servant in the house, Uncle Zhong's every move seems to be too eye-catching, and the clue should still be on Luo Yuan.
She installed a camera in a hidden place in Luo Yuan's study. Because there is no stable power supply, it can only be charged by the battery board brought by Yang Ruoning, so it cannot work 24 hours a day. Yang Ruoning set the time at the time of the few hours in the morning, when Luo Yuan returned from the palace to the afternoon, when she returned from the Jiangxian Pavilion.
In the middle of the night, when owls are asleep, she will quietly take out the memory card and look through the recorded surveillance videos. Tonight, she finally made a discovery.
In the surveillance video, Luo Yuan wrote a few lines on a small piece of paper, and when the ink dried, he carefully rolled up the small note and stuffed it into a piece of broken silver, and then he put the piece of broken silver into the money bag and then stuffed it into his arms.
And not long after his series of actions were completed, Yang Ruoning saw himself coming in from outside. She heard Luo Yuan say to her in the video, "Ruoning, I ordered a meal in Fengle Building tonight, you take a rest, and we'll go over in a while." β
Fengle Building, in Bianliang City in the countless restaurants and restaurants are a little special, the faΓ§ade is not big, only two floors, the decoration is simple, at first glance it looks very inconspicuous and even a little dilapidated, but each table is reserved, and often a table is hard to find. When Luo Yuan brought Yang Ruoning for the first time, she was quite unimpressed, thinking that it was probably just like those so-called Internet celebrity shops now, using limitations as a gimmick, and they were sought after for a while, and the food was not necessarily special, until she tasted the bowl of fish stew and was surprised that it was the best fish in Bianliang. Since then, Luo Yuan has taken her to Fengle Building from time to time.
That night, Yang Ruoning and Luo Yuan went there as usual. Xiao Er led them to the window on the second floor. Soon, a table of food was on the table.
Yang Ruoning asked Luo Yuan while eating, "I'm a little curious, who is the cook in this building?" Why do you make such a good dish? I'd love to meet you. β
Luo Yuan replied, "It turned out to be the imperial kitchen in the palace, and later came out of the palace and opened this small shop. β
"Oh, it turned out to be from the palace, no wonder it was so delicious." Yes, he was originally from the palace, so it makes sense why Luo Yuan chose to be here.
After eating, Luo Yuan took out the money bag from his sleeve, he took out a broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er. Xiao Er took it respectfully, said that the adults and young ladies can eat well, and if there is anything else you need, you will leave. After that, Xiao Er went to greet the guests at the next table, and then went downstairs. She told Luo Yuan that she wanted to go next door to buy a bowl of red bean ice to eat, so she hurried downstairs.
In the dark alley outside the building, Yang Ruoning stood in a hidden shadow by the window, observing Xiao Er in the window. That Xiao Er is nothing special, he has been shuttling back and forth on the first and second floors, serving food and pouring water to greet guests. She stood for about ten minutes, and finally gave up and turned to buy dessert.
When she returned, she accidentally glanced at the alley where she had just hidden, only to find that there seemed to be two figures in the alley. She crept closer, hiding around the corner not far away.
The two people in the alley didn't seem to communicate, or were muffled by the buzzing voices next to them, and Yang Ruoning didn't hear their conversation. After a while, Xiao Er walked out of the alley and went straight back to the building. And another person came out after an interval of about a minute.
Yang Ruoning lowered her head and pretended to focus on the two bowls of red bean ice in her hand, but in fact, she looked at the direction and walked over quickly, 'coincidentally' bumped into the person. The two bowls of red bean ice in his hand were all spilled on the man.
"Ah, I'm really sorry, I was so careless! Are you okay? Oops, it's all stained on his clothes," Yang Ruoning apologized as she wanted to wipe off the red bean ice sprinkled on him. "I'm really sorry, you clothes... I'll wash it for you, you tell me the address, I'll give it back to you after washing it. So saying, she reached for his robe.
He was startled and jumped back like an electric shock, probably not expecting that a woman would pick up his clothes on the street. He looked down at his clothes, and then looked up at Yang Ruoning.
Yang Ruoning saw his face clearly at this time. She felt as if she had seen him somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"It's out of the way, no need." The man quickly lowered his head and quickly left.
After that, Yang Ruoning and Luo Yuan didn't go there to eat again. Luo Yuan said that now the shrimp and crabs in the East China Sea are plump, and Fan Lou is famous for making seafood, so Luo Yuan took her to Fan Lou to eat.
Yang Ruoning was a little anxious. She knew where she must have seen the man, but she couldn't remember where.
Another reason why Yang Ruoning didn't want to go to Fanlou was Hui Niang. Maybe for people in this era, love is not limited to one person, a talented and good-looking person like Luo Yuan, it is too common to have a few women around her, but for Yang Ruoning from modern times, she can't bear such crowded feelings. Although she hadn't seen Hui Niang since that day in the suburban tavern.
Fortunately, I had dinner in Fan Lou in the past few days, and I didn't meet Hui Niang. I heard the little sister in the building tell Yang Ruoning privately that Hui Niang has recently had a VIP charter, and she rarely comes out to walk around.
When you like it, you can spend a lot of money for her, and when you get tired of it, you don't care about it. I saw the newcomer laughing and not seeing the old man crying, thinking like this, Yang Ruoning actually had some pity and sympathy for Hui Niang.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Yuan asked suddenly.
Yang Ruoning came back to her senses, "Huh? What do I think of you? β
"It's like I've committed some heinous sin."
"Hahaha," Yang Ruoning smiled dryly to hide her embarrassment, why did Luo Yuan always seem to be able to see through people's minds? That's a disadvantage, a disadvantage.
She took some dishes, took a few more bites of rice, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and pretended to chat. "Now you don't go out at night?"
"Well, where do I go at night?"
"Jumping out of the roof in black?"
Luo Yuan shook his head and laughed softly, "There is no longer a need for me to jump out of the roof in a night suit." β
"Oh?" Hearing this, Yang Ruoning jumped her eyebrows, she looked around, pretending to be mysterious, "Your business is done?" β
"It's not done."
"You always mysteriously don't tell me, are you doing something unspeakable?"
"What do you mean by being bad?"
"I don't know, it's just a casual remark. You may tell me, but you don't tell me anything. β
Luo Yuan sighed lightly, "Ruo Ning, I have been reluctant to tell you about this because it is extremely dangerous, I am not very sure, if it is not successful, I will definitely be in a different place, and I will be connected to the nine clans." I don't want you to tell you, I don't want anyone to know that we are married, and the emperor can also see your friendship with him, and will not implicate you. β
"Ha, it's really a bad thing, it's a bad thing that will be killed." Yang Ruoning met Luo Yuan's gaze, "I don't know if you can succeed, but I hope you can succeed." But can you promise me one thing, dear. β
"What's the matter?"
"You promise me first."
Luo Yuan slowly lowered his wine glass. "No, you have to tell me before I can know if I can do it."
