"I said you're sure the person you're looking for is still alive?"

Ah Lu stands at a high point, with thousands of lights below, revealing the flowers of the city in the brightness.

"Or tell me your name, and I'll go to the underworld and ask?"

She had been helping Seventeen find that girl for the past few days, but she hadn't even met anyone with the same breath in several cities, which made her wonder if this would be an excuse for Seventeen not to go to the underworld.

"No, she's not going to die, I've made sure she's where she's safe, no, ......"

Seventeen muttered to himself, obviously not wanting to believe it, but the city after city made him a little unsure.

"Then you tell me your name, and I will find out if this person is alive or dead. ”

Seventeen looked up blankly, looked at Ah Lu, who was obviously a little impatient, and lowered his head sadly: "She didn't tell me her name, I only know that she has a bell ......"

Ah Lu had a feeling of being toyed with: "At the beginning, you gave me the woman's things to find my breath, I think as long as people are alive, they must be able to find it, but now there is no breath that can be sensed in a circle, and you even said that you don't know when you ask your name, but you don't know that your relationship is not good, don't end up being your enemy, I can't do good deeds but have a reputation for helping and abusing!"

Seventeen hurriedly shook his head: "It must be impossible, she ...... It's the person I put in my heart, I won't hurt her, and I won't allow others to hurt her!"

"How do you want me to believe you?"

In fact, Ah Lu believes in her heart, and she still has the ability to look at acquaintances, but she is a little impatient after looking for no news these days, so she can only make words to provoke him, hoping to get more useful news.

As Ah Lu's words fell, Seventeen fell silent, obviously struggling with whether to tell the truth.

Ah Lu took the opportunity to say: "Suspicious people don't need to be suspicious, since you let me help you, you should tell the truth, otherwise how can I rest assured to help you?"

Probably persuaded by her words, Seventeen hesitated for a moment and said: "She is the daughter of a merchant in Shucheng, and we received a task that day......

......

On the night of August 15, the moon and stars are scarce, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night, in the back garden of Doucheng Hongfu, Di Gua followed the Hong family to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After a polite conversation, the table began to push the glasses and handed them over, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"By the way, there is something I forgot to tell Mr. ”

Master Hong put down the wine glass in his hand, and his face was embarrassed: "I should have asked Mr. in person about this matter, but I was invited to the shop after returning home that day, and I forgot for a while that Mr. Don't blame him." ”

Di Gua dared to blame, and said politely: "Master Hong, what is this, where to blame or not, what is to blame, what is to say, do not limit these." ”

Only then did Master Hong open his mouth and continue: "On the thirteenth day, when the contemptible people and the clumsy Jing went to the Lu Mansion to deliver moon cakes, the same Lu County Commander mentioned Mr., the Lu County Order is also a studious person, and I want to invite Mr. to go to the Lu Mansion tomorrow to admire the moon, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Di Hexagram was happy in front of him: "I am willing, and I have admired the county order for a long time." ”

Hong Tuo, who was listening from the sidelines, was puzzled, even Di Gua was called, what was the idea of the Lu County Order this time?

Obviously, Hong Shu on the side was also puzzled, but he was very smart and didn't ask directly, and said: "Lu County Ling is indeed a good official who is in charge of the people, fair and honest, and Shu also admires it very much. ”

Master Hong's eyebrows moved, and his smile was quite meaningful: "Mr. Lu is talented and intelligent, and his parents take care of him, the fortune must be deep, and Shu'er has to work hard." ”

"My son knows that he will live up to his parents' expectations. ”

Saying that, Hong Shu got up, bowed respectfully to his parents, and raised a toast.

The Hong family's parents nodded with satisfaction and raised their glasses to drink.

Hong Tuo on the side pretended not to see anything, lowered his head and picked up a chopsticks of cabbage, and ate silently.

Di Gua smiled at everything in front of him, and said in agreement: "The eldest prince has an extraordinary bearing, and the future will be bright, and Master Hong is blessed." ”

There are no parents who don't want to listen to others praise their children, and the smile on Mr. Hong's face is even deeper: "Thanks to Mr. praise, I hope Shu'er will live up to expectations." ”

Hong Shu nodded and said a few more well-behaved words, which made the Hong family's parents even happier.

According to the process of previous years, after saying that, Hong Shu should mention Hong Shu, after all, brothers will inevitably be compared.

"Speaking of the scientific examination, Yang Chong's child has changed a lot recently, and I think he is preparing to participate in the next imperial examination......"

Somehow, Master Hong suddenly mentioned Yang Chong, and Hong, who had been immersed in eating, moved his heart, and looked up at Di Hexagram, just in front of his gaze.

Di Gua, who received Hong's teasing gaze, asked casually, "Has the Yang family's business improved?"

Master Hong nodded: "Basically stabilized, Master Fan probably won't do anything to the Yang family again, plus there has been an accident in Shucheng recently, and it is estimated that he is taking care of himself at this time, but where we are in the shop, we are also somewhat implicated......"

"What's going on?"

With Di Gua's question, the eyes of the people at the table all gathered on Master Hong's side.

Master Hong put down the chopsticks in his hand and let out a long sigh: "This matter is a long story, about three months ago, there was a tragedy in Shucheng, which made the people of Shucheng panic, and the Shucheng County Government was very busy......"

Such a big thing, why haven't I heard any rumors at all, Di Gu was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look at Hong Tea, who also looked puzzled.

Master Hong also saw everyone's doubts, and explained: "The incident happened in the middle of the night, it is said that it was a businessman's family, a family of more than 100 people were killed, no one found out at first, it was the neighbors who saw that no one came out for several days and tried to knock on the door, who knew that the door opened by itself, and then saw the dead people all over the yard, and almost frightened crazy." Because of the big stake, the Shucheng County Order blocked the news as soon as possible, compiled the case into a book and handed it over to the imperial court, and soon the imperial court also sent a messenger to investigate the matter, and thus blocked Shucheng for a period of time, plus Doucheng is some distance from Shucheng after all, and some progress in the case has only begun to spread recently......"

"Then what does this have to do with that Master Fan?"

The matter is not yet clear, and Di Hexagram also asks carefully.

"It seems that the recent investigation said that someone invited the killer behind the scenes to do this, and the merchant family has a good momentum in Shucheng, and there are signs of confrontation with the Fan family, so some people speculate whether it is because of the competition in the business house. In addition, the recent affairs of the Yang family have also been stabbed in the yamen, and the death of Master Yang has also been maliciously mentioned to Master Fan, so the Shucheng Yamen asked Master Fan, and the person is still in the county yamen......"

Several people heard it with a look of regret, but Di Gua sighed lightly: "The world is really impermanent, and this Master Fan is also unlucky!"

When Master Hong heard this, his heart moved: "What do you mean by what Mr. said?"

Di Gua smiled incomprehensibly: "If Master Fan is really a person with such means, then the Yang family will not have a chance to breathe......"
