Chapter 18: On the Road
'What a life of ups and downs... Finally understanding this guy's past, Li Ji couldn't help laughing. This is completely inconsistent with the routine in the online article, eat a bite of food, drink a sip of tea, as if talking to yourself, and as if chatting with someone in the power...
'To be honest, it is not easy for you to survive, and I can understand your suffering... ‘
'Your parents don't love you, they don't support you, you don't love them... Why bother, it's embarrassing for everyone... ‘
'That second son, I can't get used to it... But revenge is not revenge like this, you have to be forbearing, and you will be killed with one blow... Look at you, get yourself out ... ‘
'That woman, what's so good? It's just dumplings... Of course I understand ... The face plate is OK, but the figure is not good. . . Too thin.,Sleep at night.。。。 ‘
'Well, that's the end of it ... I won't do anything for you ... I'm going away too... A new world, a new life... ‘
Li Ji was talking to himself, and Xiao Er, who was far away, looked a little panicked, and felt that this guest was not sick, so he hurriedly found the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's surname was Liu, and when he came to take a look, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Third master, why are you here... “
Li Ji was laughing at himself, a voice came from his ears, and when he looked up, he knew this person, he was an old man in the Li Mansion, who was in charge of many industries in the Li Mansion, and his relationship with him was not good or bad.
"Why, can't I come?" Li Ji looked at him with a smile.
"That's not what I mean, Third Master... Aren't you doing business in Cixi, how can you have time to come to Xiao Lao'er to eat and drink, I knew you were coming, so I ordered you to serve you a few more specialty dishes... Shopkeeper Liu was a little embarrassed, the third master opposite, like the demon king of the mixed world, was a master who was not easy to get along with.
"You have a heart ... Li Ji ignored him, looked at the soft sedan chair in the Li Mansion, and slowly left...
Shopkeeper Liu's heart sank, he was an old man in the Li Mansion, and he knew some secret things, seeing Li Ji staring at the soft sedan chair, but he was afraid that something would happen, "Third master, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, some things are not easy to do too much, and it is not easy to end... “
Li Ji was stunned, Xuan Ji understood, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid that I will trouble that woman?。。。 You think too much, with this mood, I might as well find a kiln sister, and worry... Just eat a drink by the way, don't be too careful... “
Co-author Li Mansion's second young grandmother is not as good as a kiln sister? Shopkeeper Liu really doesn't know how to answer this, "Why don't I serve you a few more dishes?"
"No, you're full, it's time to go. Li Ji stood up and threw a piece of loose silver on the table.
"You're slapping the old slave in the face, you come from a restaurant to eat, how can you still spend money?" while hurriedly refusing, while carefully persuading, "Don't blame the old lady, they also have difficulties... “
"Yes, everyone has difficulties, the old lady has difficulties, and I have too... Is there anything wrong with you, Lao Liu?" Li Ji glanced at him and said.
"Little old man, this is not afraid that you will be resentful, it will not be good to turn around in the future... “
Stopped and looked at him quietly, "I don't hate, but I don't forgive either... By the way, this half of the jade pendant, you can help me send them back... The jade pendant was given by Li Ji's parents when he was eighteen years old, and later Li Ji was looking for a golden finger, but he destroyed it, so he turned around and went downstairs to leave.
Shopkeeper Liu looked at the half-mutilated jade pendant in his hand, and he was puzzled, only thinking, "This Li family Saburo has been out for more than a year, but it seems to be a little different from the past." ‘
In the early afternoon, two key horses came out of the east gate of the twin cities and galloped away. Zhou Guo is in the south and away from the north, close to Yunhan Tianling, the reason why he walks from the east gate is just a small trick, Li Ji has a bad reputation in Shuangcheng, there are many people who know him, and the government will pursue it later, only this can mislead the public for a long time.
Out of the east of the twin cities one hundred and ten miles there is a small town of Xi'an, Li Ji will stay here, leave the last whereabouts, tomorrow morning will really run north, the identity of the road guide re-changed, in the road guide that has been prepared, written in the world's first fake fictional name - Yue's country scholar Wei Guoguang...
Li Ji rode a pair of horses, changed horses without changing people, got up early and set off before dawn, took a short break at noon to feed the horses into some dry food and water, and stayed in the hotel at dusk at night to rest, all of them were customs clearance avenues, the weather was pleasant, and they traveled nearly 2,000 miles in a few days, seeing that the south was not far from the border, and then north was Zheng Guo, a big country in the southern continent. . .
。。。
Shuangcheng Li Mansion, in the small flower hall deep in the courtyard, Li Mingru, the head of the Li family, held a half-crippled jade pendant in his hand, his face was full of anger, and a middle-aged lady beside him persuaded softly, "Why should the lord be angry? From the day he drove him out, you and I have never had such a child, and there are many people in Shuangcheng who know about this matter, what does he do and what does it have to do with me?"
"Killing people and taking money, mutilating colleagues, what a big deal is this? You say, do you think he still has a royal law in his eyes?" Li Mingru threw the jade pendant to the ground, "What's even more hateful is that before he fled, he dared to come to Shuangcheng to peep at my Li Mansion in the restaurant and return the jade pendant, you say, what do you mean by this son?"
The woman's eyebrows furrowed, "My son, is it not your son? I advised you not to admit him into the house, but you didn't listen... It's good now, it's good to get into trouble with this boss, and it will affect the reputation of my Li Mansion, that is, the second son will go out to find friends and socialize in the future, and he can't raise his head when he mentions this son... ”
As soon as the woman was angry, Li Mingru softened, this woman is the person around the princess of the palace, known as the prestige, is the current Li Mansion, and there are many people in the palace who follow and listen to it, so they only obey the master's mother, but they don't know the head of the house, he can't afford to provoke it, "Wronged... That's it, that's it, just as if there is no such son, life and death are arbitrary... ”
。。。
Shuangcheng Taishou Mansion, covering a very wide area of the corner of the back garden, there is a small Taoist temple, although the view is small, but the decoration is luxurious, there is no monk quiet and inaction, the view of the Sanqing Palace, a thin Taoist is doing his homework, next to him respectfully standing a person, but it is the judgment of the two cities. . .
"I already know the meaning of your coming, but the will of heaven is unpredictable, the Taoism is ethereal, but this matter is difficult, difficult... After a long time, the Taoist slowly spoke.
"Master Rongyu, the lower officials in this case have discussed with Lord Taishou, and they all think that Li Ji has killed his colleagues without permission, the nature is extremely bad, and the impact is quite large, and it should not be dealt with as an ordinary case, this fang is cunning, and the traces are difficult to find, and I don't mean to ask the master to chase the murderer in person, I just want to ask the master to enlighten the magic method, and choose a direction. . . The general judge said cautiously, the impact of this Li Ji's crime is indeed too great, and the escape path is completely confusing to them, there is no direction to pursue, just a few dukes in Shuangcheng are looking around, I am afraid it is useless.
"So ... Wait, you ... The Taoist face was not wavering, and he pretended to pinch the trick for a long time, and then said with a little tiredness, "Cause and effect are in the west, you just have to find it all the way... ”
"Thank you for your advice... "The judgment is overjoyed, just look for it in the west, but this saves a lot of trouble, hehe, that Li Ji is really cunning, deliberately went out of the east gate, but he used a means of pointing to the east and the west, if it wasn't for the guidance of the Taoist, he was deceived.
The general judge hurriedly went down to arrange, but the remaining Daoists smiled disdainfully, and said in their hearts, "This Shuangcheng official mansion is a bit of a nose, and it is really ridiculous that it is a trivial matter, and it is really ridiculous that it has come to trouble my Daomen." Speculating on the heavens, cultivating the true taboo, how to make it easy? Hehe, I'll let you wait for a little precept in vain. . . I thought again, 'This Li Ji is really decisive, kills people and enmities and enmities, leaves no way back, the old way does not need to be done, and he also knows that you will go north to the Zhou Kingdom... Anyway, I'll help you one more time to see what you have done... ‘
