Chapter 123: Emerging Signs
Early the next morning, Sun Yun still got up early, ready to deal with the affairs of the gang. The scene of confiding in each other with Du Juan last night still couldn't be retreated in Sun Yun's heart for a long time, thinking of this, Sun Yun was still a little uncomfortable.
"What did she say to Juan Er yesterday, what did Juan Er think?" Sun Yun thought about his active confession to Du Juan last night, and said unnaturally, "Perhaps, Juan Er is also hesitant at this time...... Forget it, why do you keep thinking about what happened last night, you still have to think about what you should do today......"
At this moment, Du Juan also came out of his room, ready to clean up Sun Yun's room. However, when the cuckoo looked up and saw Sun Yun for the first time, the whole person seemed to be a conditioned reflex and lowered his head shyly. οΌ
"Juan'er......" Sun Yun couldn't help but say, "You...... Also get up so early?" Sun Yun himself was a little unnatural.
Not to mention the cuckoo, for her as a woman, last night's feelings can't be forgotten in her heart. "Cloud ...... Brother Yun......" cuckoo muttered.
"Hey, Brother Sun-" Just when Sun Yun and Du Juan didn't know how to exit each other, He Zibu ran out of the room at some point, saw Sun Yun, and said hello.
Originally, the atmosphere of the two of them was so affectionate, but it was broken by He Zibu's suddenness. However, Sun Yun and Du Juan also happened to get rid of the embarrassing atmosphere, Sun Yun heard He Zibu's voice, and immediately turned around and said, "Abu, do you have anything to do today?"
He Zibu said with a smile: "Brother Ah Guang is keeping accounts in the warehouse, and Ah Jing and Ah Song don't know where to go. I don't know who to look for, so I thought of looking for you, Brother Sun. β
"Are you okay today?" Sun Yun asked rhetorically.
"The chief dart head didn't arrange a task for me today, I thought about it for a while, and I wanted to follow you, Brother Sunβ" He Zibu continued.
"You, you, you. Hey, I haven't even thought about what I'm going to do......" Sun Yun looked at He Zibu and said helplessly.
"I haven't even thought about it yet......," He Zibu also thought about it and said, "Brother Sun, you can think about what places in this capital you haven't been to, or where you have gone to more important things and have to go again......
"According to what you say...... Sun Yun thought for a while, and then said, "Wudang Chief Wu Zijun, one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts, Senior Wu has been kind to us, and Senior Wu also said that if I have anything to visit him. I went to the 'Longming Inn' to find him. Yes, the old West Street last time didn't do a good job xiexie Wu senior, today I just went to the 'Longming Inn' xiexie Wu senior. So it was decided. β
So, Sun Yun thought about going to Longming Inn today to meet Wu Zijun and Wu seniors.
However, just as Sun Yun wanted to turn around and go out, a subordinate stopped Sun Yun at this time. "Young masterβ" The subordinate shouted to Sun Yun as he was about to leave.
Sun Yun heard the voice. I looked back. Then he asked, "What's the matter, is there anything wrong with me?"
The subordinate continued: "Master Ren said that he has something to find you, the young master. β
"Is it Ah Guang?" Sun Yun couldn't help but say.
"Brother Ah Guang is looking for Brother Sun at this time, do you have anything to do?" He Zibu also asked curiously on the side, in his eyes, Ren Guang, who has always been calm in handling things, rarely takes the initiative to ask Sun Yun for advice.
Sun Yun also felt a little unusual, so he asked the subordinate again, "Where is Master Ren?"
The servant replied, "He is in the warehouse, and he is still sorting out the ledgers of the inventory. β
"I see, I'll go over now. "Finished. Sun Yun quickened his pace and hurried in the direction of the warehouse. He Zibu was also curious, so he also followed.
Du Juan, who had not spoken much on the side, looked at Sun Yun and He Zibu with a hurried expression. There was a little more worried look on his face......
Inside the warehouse of the Fortune Dart Bureau......
At this time, Ren Guang was holding a ledger in his hand and looking at it. His eyes were slightly furrowed, and his brow was furrowed, as if he was worried about something.
"How's it going, Ah Guang?" Lin Jing, who had been helping Ren Guang with his side, saw Ren Guang's hesitant look and asked with concern, "Did you find anything wrong?"
Ren Guang's brows were still tightly locked, and then he said slowly, "It's strange, there are so many unknown whereabouts of the funds in the past two days, and the funds in the treasury seem to have been accidentally lost due to unknown circumstances." β
"What do you mean?" Lin Jing didn't immediately understand, and asked puzzled.
Ren Guang took the account book in his hand a little farther away, and continued: "The Lai Yun Dart Bureau has just settled in most of the capital, except for a trip to Mingjian Villa yesterday, there is no big move. The first few days of coming to Dadu were okay haode, how from yesterday to today, the changes in funds were beyond jihua, and it seems that many of them have been used in areas that we don't know. β
"Could it be that someone has moved the money from the dart board? Is it the head dart, but if the head dart head wants to use the funds in the bureau to do something, we dart masters shouldn't know about it?" Lin Jing also couldn't understand on the side.
"What's wrong?" At this moment, Sun Yun and He Zibu happened to rush in from outside, and as soon as they came in, they saw Ren Guang staring at the account book in his hand with careful worry, Sun Yun hurriedly asked.
"Young master, you're here......" After Ren Guang saw Sun Yun coming, he immediately took the account book in his hand and looked at Sun Yun, and said, "Young master, look, from yesterday to today, some of the funds in the bureau have been transferred somehow to somewhere. β
Sun Yun glanced at it fixedly, and then said, "That's true...... Could it be that someone in the bureau took advantage of someone not paying attention or hiding from my stepfather to use the funds in the bureau?"
"It's unlikely...... Ren Guang said seriously, "I can know more about the funds in the game, except for the chief dart head, there are only some senior dart masters." But yesterday, almost all the elite-level dart masters of the Dart Bureau came with us to Mingjian Villa, who will be able to use it?"
"In other words, it won't be our own people in the bureau......" Sun Yun continued, "If it's someone from the outside." Only when the dart game is chaotic can it be possible to operate in the dark. However, nothing happened in the dart game in the past two days, and the people from the Chatai Royal Mansion did not trouble us. Everything is harmonious in the game, but what is it......"
"There is another possibility......" Ren Guang seemed to think of something, and said suddenly.
"What is possible?" Sun Yun couldn't help but ask when he heard Ren Guang's sudden change of voice.
Ren Guang's eyes froze, glanced at He Zibu, and then leaned into Sun Yun's ear and said, "If we come to the Dart Bureau and have a relationship with other interest groups in this capital, it may also be the time for them to use funds in handling things." We've come to the dart game and we've been implicated in ......."
"You mean...... Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce?" Sun Yun saw that Ren Guang deliberately leaned into his ear to say it, so he also whispered.
"It's not that it's not impossible......," Ren Guang continued, "It could also be when the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce is working on some project." Our money from the dart board has also been implicated......"
"What Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, has something happened to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, what are you talking about?" Since Sun Yun and Ren Guang were talking in their ears, He Zibu didn't hear what the two were talking about.
Sun Yun nodded slightly. He Zibu continued to whisper so that He Zibu could hear him and said, "Hmm." The direct cause may be the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, but the root cause may have other hidden circumstances, so don't act rashly until everything is investigated...... If Abu hears it, he is so anxious, he is estimated to mess up something, in short, it is better not to let Abu know first......"
"But he still heard this matter just now, and it has something to do with the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce," Ren Guang whispered again......
Sun Yun thought for a moment and said, "No matter what. Anyway, there is nothing important in the bureau today...... You and Ah Jing and Ah Song go to investigate secretly. Take Abu with you, but don't let him know what we're doing. β
"I see......" Ren Guang still nodded.
"Hey. What the hell are you talking about?" He Zibu still didn't hear the conversation between the two, and asked impatiently.
Sun Yun pointed to Ren Guang's eyes, and then Ren Guang said to He Zibu: "We were discussing just now, let's go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce today to meet Yang Zhengming and Yang seniors, and by the way, go to the vicinity of the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce to see if there are any other places in the city that we haven't seen." β
"I'm going to the center of the city again, right? Okay, okay......" He Zibu, who didn't know on the side, heard that everyone was going to the city center again, and He Zibu couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.
"Young Master, aren't you going with you?" Ren Guang asked when he saw that Sun Yun didn't intend to go with them when he spoke.
Sun Yun shook his head slightly, and then said, "I want to go, but I don't want to go all the way with you...... I still have some things, I want to meet Wu Zijun and Wu seniors, Wu seniors are at the Longming Inn near here. Ah Guang, you and Abu and Ah Jing should go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce first, and by the way, communicate more with Yang Zhengming and Yang seniors, and when I am done with things here, I will go to you again. β
"That'...... Okay, young master, when the time comes, Abu and I will go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce first. Ren Guang nodded in response.
"Do you want to go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce now?" He Zibu, who was still unaware on the side, asked again.
Ren Guang said with a smile: "Yes, anyway, there is nothing to do today, Abu, you go back and prepare for preparation, we will prepare to leave immediately." β
"Okay-" As long as there is an opportunity to go out to run errands, He Zibu is full of energy, and after agreeing, He Zibu jumped out and ran out.
Sun Yun looked at He Zibu's appearance, first smiled, and then said solemnly to Ren Guang: "When you arrive at the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, communicate more with Senior Yang, I doubt it...... This may have something to do with the Chatai Palace......"
"I know......" Ren Guang nodded and said, "There has been no movement in the Chatai Royal Mansion these days, maybe they ...... I don't know what happens in the near future......"
Sun Yun lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued: "Ah Guang, I guess...... It is estimated that the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce and even the Mingjian Villa may have a connection with the Chatai Palace. Yesterday, when I had a conversation with the owner of the flower village, whenever I mentioned the Chatai Palace, the expression of the flower seniors was always a little reluctant, and I thought that in it, no matter what it was, what might have happened between the Mingjian Villa and the Chatai Palace...... Therefore, this time you go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, these things need to be carefully investigated secretly. β
"I ......also know this," Ren Guang said, "but that Chatai Dordun is actually what we are most afraid of now." Or is it that Chatai Dordun doesn't know what to do......"
"Chatai Dordun is the object that needs to be watched out for the most...... Sun Yun's face continued to be solemn, "When I'm not by your side, you have to be careful yourself." If there is any strange behavior in Chatai Dorton. Try not to get involved with him. Especially Abu, you must take care of him, I am afraid that Abu will see Chatai Dordun, in case he is emotional again......"
"Don't worry, young master, we'll pay attention......" Ren Guang also nodded cautiously......
Everything is ready, and everyone is about to go......
"Let's go. Today we are going to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce again-" He Zibu exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, yes, Abu, every time I encounter this. You can't control ......," Shi Changsong sighed lightly. Originally, before He Zibu came to the dart game, Shi Changsong was the most lively person in this dart game, but now after He Zibu came, Shi Changsong now has to pay attention to He Zibu's behavior often. Thinking of this, Shi Changsong also shook his head helplessly.
Sun Yun was also ready to go. Du Juan was still helping Sun Yun tidy up.
Sun Yun glanced at the cuckoo affectionately. Then he said softly: "I have to go out today, Juan'er, you stay at home, with my stepfather and mother, don't go out, do you know?"
Du Juan smiled shyly at Sun Yun, since Sun Yun confessed to himself, Du Juan suddenly had an emotional sense of concern for Sun Yun. Afterwards, Du Juan smiled and said to Sun Yun: "Juan Er knows, Brother Yun." You don't have to worry about Juan'er, Juan'er will stay at home well......"
Look at the cuckoo's calm appearance. Sun Yun was also very relieved. Soon after, Sun Yun left the Laiyun Dart Bureau with Ren Guang, He Zibu and others, preparing to set off towards today's destination of Jihua......
Since Wu Zijun's Longming Inn was near the Laiyun Dart Bureau, and it was the same road as the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce, it didn't take much time, and everyone arrived at the door of the Longming Inn first......
"It's ......" Sun Yun stood in front of the gate of the Longming Inn and said prefaced.
"This is where Wu Zijun and Senior Wu are staying temporarily, right?" Ren Guangyan said, "Young Master, will you go in now......?"
Standing in front of the door and looking at the Longming Inn, thinking of Wu Zijun's skills in Lao Xijie a few days ago and his life-saving grace, He Zibu couldn't help but say: "Senior Wu is the chief disciple of Wudang, and he is one of the Seven Heroes of Wulin, I really want to meet ......."
"Forget it...... Sun Yun said with a smile, "Senior Wu is a master of martial arts in the Central Plains, if an urgent son like you lets Senior Wu see it, I don't know how much trouble it will cause to other seniors?"
"Yes, Abu, you should stay with us, anyway, the young master will come back again. Ren Guang said. In fact, in Sun Yun and Ren Guang's hearts, they didn't want the unwitting He Zibu to disrupt Dinghaodejihua.
Of course, He Zibu has also been kept in the dark. With the idea of wanting to go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce more, He Zibu said with a smile: "Well, that's right, I'm from a ruffian, so it's better not to disturb Senior Wu...... Brother Sun, Ah Guang and I will leave first, and you can thank Senior Wu for me. β
Sun Yun listened to He Zibu's words, and his heart was relieved, so he responded: "I know, I know, I'm not around, you just don't make a mess for Ah Guang and them." β
Ren Guang knew that he and Sun Yun had been in Jihua, so before leaving, Ren Guang still gave Sun Yun a look. Sun Yun also knew it, and also gave a look back.
Immediately, Ren Guang said to Sun Yun: "Then young master, let's go to the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce first." After you meet with Wu Zijun and Senior Wu, come to our side too......"
"Well, I know, I'm not with you, you have to be careful. Sun Yun still reminded.
Ren Guang nodded, then turned around and left in the direction of the Jiuwang Chamber of Commerce with He Zibu, Lin Jing and Shi Changsong. After the rest of Sun Yun saw everyone off, he turned to the Longming Inn......
Entering the Longming Inn, Sun Yun first found the shopkeeper in the hall, and then asked, "Shopkeeper, may I ask if there is a Taoist priest surnamed Wu staying here?"
The shopkeeper saw Sun Yun dressed in style, thinking that he was the son of a rich family, so he said respectfully: "Hui Gongzi, there is indeed a Taoist priest here who came here to stay a few days ago, but I don't even know what his name is." β
"Does the shopkeeper know what that Taoist priest looks like?" Sun Yun asked again in order to confirm Wu Zijun's identity.
The shopkeeper then replied: "That Taoist priest is wearing a blue coat, with a sword at his waist, and he doesn't speak with an accent here, it is estimated that he is a Taoist priest from the south, and he is in the 'Cuiyun Pavilion' upstairs." β
"yes, the xiexie shopkeeper. Sun Yun got the news he wanted, and after thanking him, he turned around and prepared to go up to the second floor.
"I can't be wrong, Senior Wu is in the 'Cuiyun Pavilion' on the second floor. Sun Yun said in his heart, slowly looking at each room on the second floor one by one......
Sun Yun stopped and stared at the door in front of himβhe was now standing in front of the door of the "Cuiyun Pavilion".
Sun Yun froze, then knocked forward on the door...... "Knock, knock", Sun Yun knocked lightly twice.
"Please come inβ" A man's voice came from inside the door. Sun Yun heard it, this voice was Wu Zijun.
"Squeak-" Sun Yun pushed open the door and saw Wu Zijun sitting at the table opposite sipping tea.
"It turned out to be Young Master Sun......" Wu Zijun saw that it was Sun Yun, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at Sun Yundao with a smile.
"Senior Wu......" After Sun Yun entered the door, he then said respectfully to Wu Zijun, "Forgive the juniors for not being invited, today the juniors have something to ask Senior Wu for a ......."
Wu Zijun heard that Sun Yun had something to do with him today, and immediately looked at Sun Yun with both eyes and a smile...... (To be continued......)
