How to work

That night, Lu Li chatted with Zhao Zhu for a long time, basically opening his own imagination, but the atmosphere of the chat was strangely harmonious.

After the atmosphere improved, Lu Li very naturally proposed that he needed to change clothes because he was sweating, and asked Zhao Zhu to avoid it.Zhao Zhu also turned around in a very gentlemanly manner, allowing the 'shy' Lu Li to change clothes on the bed.

Lu Li actually wanted to invite Zhao Zhu back to his room, but Zhao Zhu's intention of taking care of him was quite obvious, so he had no choice but to accept it, and quickly lifted the quilt to change clothes.

Zhao Zhu's hearing is quite good, and he didn't miss any rustling sounds behind him. He could imagine where Lu Li changed his clothes and what he was doing now.

The quilt suddenly became a little hot, and he simply opened a corner to breathe.

For some reason, even though the topic was going well just now, he had a slight illusion: Lu Li's feelings for him didn't seem to be what he thought.

But an illusion is an illusion. When he looked back and saw Lu Li's eyes, he still thought that Lu Li liked him.

After that, the two continued to chat, the pillows were very close to each other, and because of the dim moonlight, different angles felt different, and they always felt that each other's faces were much more beautiful than usual...

Early the next morning, Shen Wansha ran over. He was really worried about Lu Li's health, so he woke up early in the morning.

When he came to Lu Li's room, he seldom knocked on the door, this time he pushed the door open and came in because of his impatience, "Little Lizi, are you okay—"

Facing a pair of murderous eyes, he immediately fell silent and shrank his body.

Lu Li slept even more soundly, he didn't wake anyone up with such a loud voice, and the owner of the murderous eyes was sleeping head to head with Lu Li, the atmosphere was very charming and warm...

Shen Wansha felt that he interrupted something.

Especially when Zhao Zhu glanced over like this.

But Shen Wansha didn't leave, he stopped under tremendous pressure, stretched his neck to look at Lu Li——

Until Zhao Zhu said, "He's fine."

Zhao Zhu's voice was very low, but it was enough for Shen Wansha to hear. Shen Wansha was immediately happy, turned around and left, and closed the door very intimately, and whispered outside, "I'm going to prepare breakfast!"

……

Lu Li was really fine, he was full of energy after waking up, and Xiao Fenghan was wiped out as soon as he had any signs, he was in a good mood.After having breakfast with Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha, he went to bid farewell to County Magistrate Huang.

He is not a public official, and helping to solve the case is just a hobby, and he has made great contributions. County magistrate Huang has no right to keep him, and there is no reason why he doesn't need to keep him. Still in Shanyang, he will definitely be the host to treat guests.

Lu Li said goodbye to him politely, and ran towards Shanyang County together with Zhao Zhu and Shen Wansha.

He wanted to find a man named Hou Xing in a place called Dashanpu.

The place names are easy to inquire about. When you enter Shanyang and ask, people will show you the way.

The carriage didn't stop, and went directly to Dashanpu.

Dashanpu is a village very close to the city center, and it is very lively during the market.Shen Wansha accompanied Lu Li to inquire, and at the same time went shopping in the market, enjoying himself.

They soon found out that Hou Xing was the shopkeeper of a jewelry shop in this area. The three of them went to find it and asked the clerk. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper had left the city.

"When will he come back?" Lu Li's voice was a little anxious.His personality is actually relatively quiet and stable, but when it comes to critical moments, he is always a little impatient.

The clerk scratched his head, "They said they wanted to discuss a big deal, and they might not be able to come back for ten days and a half months, depending on the progress over there."

Lu Li's eyebrows twitched into knots.

Shen Wansha knew that this matter was very important to Lu Li, looked into the shop, rolled his eyes, and asked the clerk, "When did your shopkeeper leave? Does anyone know which way to go?"

"I left early this morning, because I have to collect the bill by the way, and I must be going the official way now."

"That's all right!" Shen Wansha turned his head and blinked at Lu Li to express his reassurance, and put his arm on the boy's shoulder, "Young master, there is a big deal here, I guarantee it is something you have never seen before..."

After he finished speaking, the boy's eyes were as bright as light bulbs, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, "Is what the young master said true?"

Shen Wansha squinted, "Young Master, can you still fool you? You can decide what to do."

The buddy's footsteps were a little fluttering, "Just wait, I'll go and chase the shopkeeper back right away!"

But at the tea time, the scene took a sharp turn.

Lu Li looked at Shen Wansha in surprise, "Young master is amazing!"

Shen Wansha smiled with his arms crossed, "That's right, I don't even look at who the young master is!"

When the little guy left, Shen Wansha led Lu Li to continue to go out for a stroll, "It will take a day or two for him to chase him back. It just happens to be all right, so let's just play here."

Lu Li nodded, "As the New Year's Eve is approaching, I'm afraid Shanyang won't be able to stay for too long, why don't you take this opportunity to buy some gifts for Aunt Cao Xiaomeng."

Shen Wansha likes shopping the most, this proposal is simply great, "Okay, okay!" The two went chatting lively.

Zhao Zhu didn't like to go to the market to be crowded with people, so he waited for them at the teahouse on the second floor facing the street by the window.

After drinking a cup of tea, Xing Zuo brought something.

It is a dossier.

Zhao Zhu took it and took a closer look.

In the past, he didn't care about Lu Li as a male wife, and even hoped that Lu Li would disappear by himself, and he didn't spend half his mind on it. Of course, part of the reason was that he was confident in his status.He, King Ping, has been known to the world since he was born. He was crowned the crown prince at the full moon, he began to grind his muscles and bones at the age of four, and was thrown into the military camp at the age of seven or eight. His every move and achievements were all paid attention to. Even civilians know it.

He thought that his ability, status, and power would definitely protect his fiancée, and he was once unhappy because of this, but he didn't expect that this time, when he met Lu Li by chance this time, he checked it out with interest, and the Liu family would dare to treat him so slowly. .

If there is no reason, he will not believe it.

He asked Xing Zuo to send a letter to inform Jingli's subordinates to find out the inside story.

After reading the dossier, he clenched his hands into fists and tried his best not to smash the teahouse.

His good stepmother, good brother...

Xing Zuo is trying to reduce the sense of existence, the prince is getting more and more scary!What Hong You said was right, the prince only smiled when the concubine was around!I beg the concubine to come back for help... He doesn't want to be wiped out...

Maybe God heard his voice, when Lu Li and Shen Wansha were strolling, he suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the teahouse, raised a bunch of wishful knots with big red bat pattern in his hand and trembled, as if asking Zhao Zhu if he liked it or not.

Xing Zuoxin said that the princess is so sweet, even if the prince saw it and nodded, you wouldn't be able to see it from such a distance!

Looking quietly at the lord's complexion, and the corners of his lips raised involuntarily, Xing Zuo understood that the concubine is indeed the most powerful!

He quickly took this opportunity to report, "The deputy commander, Yuan Lian, is coming and will arrive in Guan County in about half a month."

Zhao Zhu waved his hand, which means: This king knows, you kneel down.

Xing Zuoma slipped away, and as for the fact that I didn’t have a chance to mention the investigation history... Let’s talk about it later, anyway, there is still more time...

This day Lu Li and Shen Wansha took a stroll around Dashanpu, the next day they went to Shanyang City to play, and on the third day they had almost the same fun, and their interest faded, and the shopkeeper Hou Xing and the boy came back.

As soon as Hou Xing came back, he rushed to Shen Wansha's inn address, "I heard that the young master has something to talk about..."

"There's no rush for business, I'm here, business can't run away," Shen Wansha pushed Hou Xing in front of Lu Li, "Now chat with my brother first."

Hou Xing was at a loss, until Lu Li asked the name of Miao Fang, he was taken aback, and sighed quietly, "It's been ten years, I thought no one would come to ask..."

Lu Li looked a little excited, "Miao Fang is my mother's servant, I know he gave you a kit and a letter ten years ago... My parents left without a word, I was young at the time, and I don’t have much memory, so I have always regretted this matter. I know that this time I came in a hurry, but I sincerely hope that you don’t mind and tell me something about Miao Fang.”

Hou Xing bowed his head and thought for a moment before slowly opening his mouth, "I didn't know your parents died early... Actually, I don't know much about Miao Fang, so I'll just tell you what I know."

He took a few sips of tea, cleared his mind, and said, "I don't know Miao Fang very well. I met him at sea when I was in business 16 years ago. At that time, my merchant ship was in distress and I had to save him. He Not only did he save my life, but he also saved my boats of treasure. I wanted to thank him afterwards, but he didn’t take any money. The sea journey was long, and we started chatting, not wanting to be speculative. When I asked him to thank him again, he still shook his head Seeing that I couldn't resist my enthusiasm, he said that if he was in danger in the future, he would ask me to save him, and it might bring my life into danger. I said that if he hadn't rescued me, I would have lost my life today. If he had any orders in the future , Straight to find me."

"We only got together for ten days, and we haven't met since then. Ten years ago, I received a letter and a kit. I had a written conversation with him, and I was very familiar with his handwriting. The letter was written by him. The letter said He might be in danger, so he handed over the kit to me and told me not to open it to read it. If someone finds it within two years, I will hand over the kit to save my life. If no one finds it, let me burn the kit And I said that if seven or eight years or more have passed, and someone comes here, let me tell the story in detail to the person who came, but only to the first person who came here."

Hou Xing's eyes were serene, "Now that you're here, the person Brother Miao mentioned is probably you."

Lu Li frowned slightly, "Did you burn the kit?"

"A businessman values ​​integrity the most. I have promised Brother Miao, and I will keep it. If you don't believe me, I swear to God, I have indeed burned the kit."

"Shopkeeper Hou doesn't have to be like this," Lu Li sighed, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I'm a little regretful... In this way, shopkeeper Waiting doesn't know much about Miao Fang?"

"That's true. We only communicated by name, and didn't ask too much about each other's affairs. I only know that he is a servant of a family surnamed Miao."

"Anyway, you've seen Miao Fang." Lu Li tapped his fingertips on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of man is he? His manner of speaking, his hobbies... Waiting for the shopkeeper to do business for many years, he has the most sharp eyesight, and he should be rewarded .”

Hou Xing smiled slightly, "Young man has a good mind. I have been in business for many years, and I think I am not bad at seeing people and governors. I do have a little bit of experience with Brother Miao."

"Brother Miao is tall and thin, with an imposing manner, dressed like a literati, but his steps are steady, his eyes and ears are sharp, he will definitely be able to fight. Although his clothing is not gorgeous, but the material and workmanship are of high quality, ordinary rich and noble people can't afford such a lowly man." People, so his main family must be very important. But I have been in business for many years, and I have never seen a family with the surname Miao that has been established for a long time, so I guess his main family may be a hidden family."

"Brother Miao doesn't say much about the affairs of the master's family, but he only revealed a few words. I can know that his master's family is a woman. The woman's husband and son-in-law are talented, and the world can't match her. The mistress is also good, with a vision and a mind comparable to a man. It is not comparable to ordinary people. Moreover, the host and his wife like to travel in the mountains and rivers, and they often linger in famous mountains and scenic spots. The hostess even has a nickname of 'Red Crisp Hand'..."

After Hou Xing finished speaking, he sighed deeply, "That's all I know. I will tell you the details because of the instructions in Brother Miao's letter. If someone else comes to ask, I will not say anything more."

"Thank you, Master Waiting." Lu Li asked a few more details to confirm, and made a request, "Excuse me for taking the liberty, I wonder if I can borrow Miao Fang's letter to take a look?"

"Why not?" Hou Xing turned around and went to the back.

He opened this jewelry shop, behind which is the yard where he lived, and it was very quick to bring over the carefully preserved letters.

It's just that ten years have passed, no matter how well preserved it is, the paper is a little soft and the ink is a little blurred.

After reading the letter, Lu Li found it to be exactly what Hou Xing said.

Miao Fang's characters are strong and powerful, sharp and hooked. Lu Li felt that this person must be decisive and extremely powerful.

There is a private seal in the lower left corner of the letter paper, surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds, and the two characters Miao Fang in seal script are engraved inside, which is very special and beautiful.

"This letter..." Lu Li has already asked enough requests today, and I feel a little embarrassed to ask more, but he still said it out, "Can you send it to me?"

Hou Xing was a little bit reluctant, "Brother Miao and I have similar personalities, but we don't know each other very well. The only things he left me are letters..."

"But I understand him. Since the content of this letter is written in this way, he should hope that this letter will be delivered to you." Hou Xing looked far away, as if he wanted to see something through the boundless sky, "The matter he entrusted to me I'm very pleased that it's finally over..."

Thinking of Miao Fang's name before, Lu Li thought that he could get useful information by asking Wang Fu's wife. how come...

Lu Li was a little disappointed. When he left Hou Xing's shop, he couldn't hide the depression in his eyes.

Shen Wansha tugged at his sleeve, "Unhappy?"

Lu Li had a bitter face, "I didn't know it would be like this..."

"But you also got some information, didn't you?" Shen Wansha smiled, "It's still a long time anyway, I'll help you, let's search together, we can always find a result!"

Lu Li was startled.

Turning his head again, he saw that Zhao Zhu was also nodding his head. He changed from his usual arrogance and disdain, and his eyes flickered with encouragement, "I will help you."

Lu Li's heart immediately warmed up, "Okay! Then let's go back and have a good New Year, and continue after the New Year!"

"Yeah!" Shen Wansha clenched his small fists, "I've been following you for the past two years, and you won't be able to shake me off!"

Zhao Zhu snorted, "There is nothing left and right, let's see how you make a fuss."

Lu Li was happy all of a sudden. He took several carts full of gifts and set foot on the road back to Guan County.

He was so happy that he forgot that there was a Liu family in Guan County, how could the people in that family allow him to be quiet...
