The old general trusted Fu Jiulan, not only really gave him a token and asked him to gather a few henchmen from the army, but also let the people under him obey his dispatch.

"There may be an accident in this shop tonight, so I need everyone's help. In the middle of the night, someone might sneak in. So two people need to keep an eye on the roof of the front hall and the backyard, just in case."

"In addition to this, there are three other people in the room where the General's wife is, and in the two rooms next door."

Since he took over this task, Fu Jiulan made a serious deployment.

"Yes, Master Fu."

These henchmen have all been born and died on the battlefield with the old general, so since Fu Jiulan is the person assigned by the old general, they should also be trusted.

"By the way, when the two of you are keeping an eye on the roof, if you find someone trying to hurt the old and weak women and children in this shop, please be sure to protect them."

Knowing that they would inevitably protect the old general, Fu Jiulan knew that he didn't need to say much.

But Zhang Bingru and the Wu family were all involved in this disaster for no reason.

If she is injured or loses her life because of this, Leng Wan will not be happy when she comes back.

"Don't worry, Gongzi Fu, the general has also told us." The soldier led by Fu Jiulan arched his hand and said.

"Fu Jiulan has thanked you here."

also returned a salute to a few people, Fu Jiulan replied.

After making proper arrangements, Fu Jiulan went upstairs again and walked into the room where the general's wife was.

"All deployed?"

Seeing him come up, the old general asked.

"Well, it's all settled." Fu Jiulan replied.

"What do you have?"

Noticing that he was carrying a package in his hand, the old general was suspicious.

"General, I'm here for this. It's a bag of wet clay, and I'll scatter it in doorways, windows, and rooms in a while. If someone comes in, the soles of their shoes will inevitably get on them. If we hadn't caught the poisoner, it would have been much easier to find."

Looking at the clay in his hand, Fu Jiulan's heart was heavy.

He only hoped that his guess was wrong, that he did not come to the person he expected.

"There are wet streets and alleys everywhere, if you really use this as a mark, will it ......?"

Hearing the old general's suspicions, Fu Jiulan opened his mouth to interrupt him.

"Don't worry, general, this clay is also stained with Wan Niang's makeup powder. Wan Niang once told me that her makeup powder is different from those on the market, and the viscosity is quite good, even if it encounters water, it will not fall. And the makeup powder she makes, looking at the whole of Kyoto, no one can beat it."

"Add it to the clay, and even if the man wants to pay the bill, there is nothing he can do."

In the last few words, Fu Jiulan specially accentuated his tone.

"Miss Leng is blessed to meet you."

Glancing at Fu Jiulan with appreciation, the old general praised.

That time, when the group returned to the general's mansion from the hot springs, after the banquet, the general's wife was full of praise for Fu Jiulan.

At that time, the old general didn't think so, thinking that his wife was a face control, but it was only because he saw that the kid looked better than Pan An that he praised him so much.

But now it seems that his wife's vision and cold vision are good.

"The general praised it, it is my third life to be lucky to meet Wan Niang."

This is sincere, if he hadn't met Leng Wan, it is estimated that Fu Jiulan would have died in a mass grave long ago.

"General, I have other things to do tonight, this shop...... I'll leave it to you."

The time was almost up, Fu Jiulan arched his hand at the old general, and said seriously.

"You're going out tonight?"

Looking through the window paper and looking at the dark night, the old general couldn't help but be surprised.

It's curfew now, what can Fu Jiulan do when he goes out at this time?

"Well, there's something to do."

Knowing that after he speaks, the old general will definitely block it, so

He did not disclose.

The brows furrowed, the old general wanted to ask more.

But after thinking about it again, Fu Jiulan, this kid has always done things safely, and has his own plans, so he probably doesn't like to be asked.

"Be careful, come back early."

patted Fu Jiulan's arm, and the old general didn't say anything more.

"Hmm."

After that, he carefully sprinkled the clay before Fu Jiulan left the house.

As soon as he returned downstairs, he saw Zhang Bingru sitting in the hall with the child in his arms.

"Teacher."

Walking over to say hello, Fu Jiulan's face was gloomy.

"Jiulan."

Zhang Bingru suddenly spoke, his tone slow and heavy.

"It's getting dark, why haven't you returned to your room yet?"

The first time he heard Zhang Bingru call himself in this tone, Fu Jiulan chuckled in his heart.

"Are you going out tonight?"

Just now, Zhang Bingru went to Fu Jiulan's study, originally wanting to find the child's milk powder, but he never expected to see the night clothes he prepared.

Worried that he would do something irrational, Zhang Bingru kept holding the child and waiting downstairs.

"Teacher, you ...... Got it all?"

Since Zhang Bingru is waiting here, it means that this matter cannot be hidden.

"I see the nightwear in your room."

Zhang Bingru didn't hide it either, and said it frankly.

After saying this, both fell into a brief silence.

The candle flame jumped and jumped, shining on the faces of the two, but they had their own hearts.

"Jiulan, the teacher has lived most of his life, and now he is the age to know the destiny of heaven. You're the last student I've ever accepted, and you're the smartest. I know you're worried about your mother, but don't do anything stupid."

"In addition to Wan Ya, you also have a child. Now he is waiting to be fed, if you have any more problems, can you teach this child what to do?"

Tonight's Zhang Bingru is particularly emotional, the candle flame illuminates his gray hair, and the rickety back seems to highlight that he is indeed old.

"Teacher, I don't intend to do stupid things, and I don't intend to kill myself. It's just that Brother Zhang said that there may be gall alum in his house, and asked me to take a look after dark. You also know that gall alum is precious, and if a merchant family has it, I am afraid that disaster will happen, so we made an appointment to see it at night."

"It's curfew, and if I go out on the streets openly, I'm afraid I'll be killed by the guards on patrol. In order to avoid them, I prepared a night suit."

In order to deceive Zhang Bingru, Fu Jiulan had to make up a reason.

This reason has a beginning and an end, and the evidence is sufficient, so Zhang Bingru has to believe it.

"That's what happened."

Knowing that he didn't have to risk his life, Zhang Bingru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Or what else does the teacher think I'm going to do?" Fu Jiulan asked with a smile.

"I'll still be robbed by you."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Bingru said angrily.

"The teacher thinks too much, with my own strength, even if I am excellent in martial arts, I can't withstand the hundreds of servants in the prison."

Listening to Zhang Bingru's speculation, Fu Jiulan only felt funny.

"Okay, I'll take the child to bed, you go early and come back early." Zhang Bingru got up to leave.
