Chapter 166

After chatting casually for a few more words, Uncle Li got up and left the private room.

He has other things to do, it is impossible to stay here and chat with Shen Yibao all the time.

Leaving Shen Yibao's sight, the smile on Uncle Li's face gradually disappeared, he glanced back at the private room where Shen Yibao was, and let out a long breath.

"It seems that the old man still hasn't let go of his guard against me, and actually asked Dabao to test me, which is really well-intentioned!"

Shaking his head helplessly, he walked away.

But he didn't go downstairs, but turned a corner and came to another private room around the corner.

He knocked on the door lightly, and a slightly lazy voice came from inside: "Come in."

If Shen Yibao was here, he would definitely be able to hear who the owner of the voice was, it was none other than the young city lord Lu Caigui mentioned just now!

"It's you! What's the matter?" Lu Caiguiyi saw that it was Uncle Li, not the dumb servant who delivered the food, and suddenly lost interest.

"I'm here to ask, Young City Master, if you want to order some extra food. In addition, the shop also has some wine recommendations. I wonder if you, Young City Master, need it?"

Uncle Li's attitude seemed very respectful.

"Are you annoying? Why do you always ask me if I need drinks every time I come to eat? How many times have I told you that I look at all the wines here except Baiguoniang?" No way!"

Lu Caigui said with a bored face.

"Forgive me, Young City Master. I have committed an occupational disease again. I am used to recommending drinks to guests. Every time a guest comes, I can't help but say something. Young City Master, don't take offense." Uncle Li explained awkwardly.

Lu Caigui waved his hand, not wanting to listen to his explanation: "Forget it, I've had enough to eat anyway, let's forget it here. Hey, you go alone, settle the bill with me, and wait until you go back From now on, I will go to the treasury to collect the gold coins with the fee receipt!"

"Yes, young city lord!" One of the guards who had been standing aside agreed, and stepped in front of Uncle Li.

"Let's go!"

The two went downstairs to check out, and Uncle Li handed over the meal receipt to the young guard who followed.

"Chenghui has 24 gold coins and 83 silver coins. The fraction of three silver coins is fine. Just give 24 gold coins and 80 silver coins. It's still the same, no drinks!"

The guard glanced at the receipt and put it in his pocket: "No drink, 24 gold and 80 silver...here's the money!"

"Thank you for your patronage!" Uncle Li had a professional smile on his face.

"Why are you so confused when doing something? It takes a long time to settle the bill." Lu Caigui also walked down with several other guards at this time: "Are you okay? If you are okay, hurry up and follow me, young master. There is something else!"

"Okay, okay!" The guard took the change and trotted back to the team.

"Young City Lord, come often when you are free!"

……

"Young City Lord, aren't we going back to the City Lord's Mansion?" Seeing Lu Caigui leading the crowd towards the opposite direction of the City Lord's Mansion, the guard who ran to pay the bill—that is, the captain of this team of guards couldn't help but speak. asked.

"When did this young master say he was going back?" Lu Caigui gave him a blank look: "I have been in the city lord's mansion for so many days, and finally got a chance to come out. Why did you go back so early? Could it be you? Don't like staying by my side, want to leave early?

If you really think so, it's not that I can't help you. I can ask grandpa to transfer you when I go back this time. What I think most is that someone is willing to take your current position! "

"No, no, no, Young City Lord, you have misunderstood. Being able to follow you is a blessing that I have earned over many lifetimes. It is too late to be happy, so how can I be dissatisfied? I am just worried that I will go back too late. Old City Lord He will cause trouble for the young city lord, so he asked more questions, hoping that the young city lord will not blame him!" The young guard captain quickly expressed his stance.

"It's more or less the same!" Lu Caigui nodded in satisfaction, and took the lead to walk ahead: "Let's go! Let's go to the Luo family! I heard people say that Ji Youcai is cooperating with the Luo family and is refining medicine for them. I have to go and verify for myself whether it is true or not!"

"Young city master doesn't need to verify it. I know it's true! And I heard that Ji Youcai is quite talented in refining medicine, and he is very much appreciated and trusted by the head of the Luo family. . " In order to restore his image in the heart of the young city lord, the captain of the guard hastily explained.

"Hehe, you know quite a lot! Then tell me, what else do you know?" Lu Caigui had a faint smile on his face.

The name Ji Youcai has almost become a shame that he can't wash away in his life, so much so that every time he hears this name now, he hates it so much that his teeth itch.

Hearing Lu Caigui's words, the young captain of the guard was refreshed for a while, and he didn't care about the guard who pulled his clothes behind to remind him, and shook out another thing he knew.

"I also heard that Ji Youcai and Miss Luo have not returned to Fengxiang Academy for more than half a month. It is said that the two of them were first seen going out of the city together, and then they never came back!"

Lu Caigui paused, stared at him and asked word by word, "Is what you said true?"

The young head of the guard nodded, patted his chest and made a guarantee: "This is what the brothers guarding the city gate said. They saw it with their own eyes. How can it be false?"

"Just the two of them?"

"Yes! Only the two of them, no one else!"

"It's his uncle! Why didn't you say it earlier!" Lu Caigui tugged at his collar, looking as if he wanted to eat him.

The young captain of the guard said innocently: "The old city lords all know about this!"

"They don't need to know if they know me?" Lu Caigui shook him twice, then pushed him away violently like he was angry!

"Next time, I want to know about Ji Youcai and the Luo family as soon as possible! If this happens again and you conceal it and don't report it, then you will go back to where you came from, and don't follow me anymore! I hear that. No?"

"Yes!" The young captain of the guard nodded bitterly: "Then the young city lord, do we want to go back to the city lord's mansion now?"

"Back to your sister! What you said just now is a fart!" Lu Caigui glared at him fiercely: "Come with me to Luo's house to see if they have come back! I am curious, they are lonely men The widow went out of the city together for more than half a month, what good deed did she do!"

What did they do, do they still have to report to you?

The young captain of the guard complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out. Lu Caigui was furious, and he didn't want to make trouble anymore.

"Captain, have you forgotten that the young city lord has always been interested in the eldest lady of the Luo family? Besides, Ji Youcai is the young city lord's deadly enemy. If you bring up the topic of the two of them in front of the young city lord, isn't that what you want to say? "The team member who kept pulling the captain's clothes to remind him whispered to his captain.

"I naturally have my intentions for doing this, but I didn't expect that the young city lord would be so excited! Well, let's not talk about this, hurry up and follow!"
