How to work

Lu Li didn't feel that his actions were inappropriate.

He was born with an illness, and was taken care of by his family. He also tried his best to give back to the greatest extent. He tried his best to let his family spend every day in a happy mood and not be disturbed by his own illness. He has done a lot of coaxing, and he is still good at it.

For example, I must always put on a happy smiling face, and no one will worry too much about my body when I see it; for example, I will hug my mother and say what she likes to hear, clinging like a child; for example, I will hold my brother and father like this now His hands were shaking slightly, his eyes were pure and his voice was soft...

He didn't act coquettishly, but his family really liked it. Judging from Zhao Zhu's temper, he should... also like this.

Zhao Zhu still stood there exuding a cold aura, did not speak, but did not avoid Lu Li's hand again.

Very coaxing.

Lu Li lowered his head, hiding the cunning in his eyes, paused, and slowly let go of Zhao Zhu's hand, his voice full of disappointment, "If you really refuse to forgive, and you want to stay away from me, I will I can only wish you well..."

The palm suddenly fell into the air, Zhao Zhu half-clenched subconsciously, his lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were wrinkled.

What do you mean by that?This is to give up?It's okay to admit a mistake, a little sincerity!This king is not an unreasonable person, what will happen if I say a few more words!Are you afraid of this king, worried that this king will no longer like you!

Xing Zuo jumped anxiously on the beam: The princess is about to be scared away, but you should say something, my lord!

Zhao Zhu was angry in his heart, and still kept a straight face and did not speak.

The room was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was low.

Xing Zuo almost scolded the prince for being stupid.

Shen Wansha was also clenching his small fists and was anxious at the side, little Lizi, don't turn around and walk back, make up quickly, just don't make trouble, but don't take it seriously!

Lu Li took two steps forward, Zhao Zhu withdrew his hand and stared at his back, "...Lu Li."

The voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, it seemed to be annoyed, but also very angry.But in any case, this is a signal of stance.

Lu Li stopped immediately, turned around and jogged over cheerfully, held Zhao Zhu's hand again, his big eyes flickered, "Are you not angry with me?"

Zhao Zhu had a headache.This young man is not only smart, but also knows how to change, and even strong emotions can't stop his reason, and he knows how to wink.

That's all, it's just because of my good temper, I'm used to him.

In order to avoid the embarrassment just now, Zhao Zhu got off the donkey along the slope, "Don't be angry anymore."

Lu Li immediately smiled, pulled Zhao Zhu to the table and sat down, poured him a cup of tea himself, "I don't know etiquette since I was a child, if I offend you again in the future, please forgive me, Brother Zhao, if you don't see it, just scold me." It’s okay to be responsible, but I can’t be so rusty anymore, running away and sulking.”

Zhao Zhu picked up the tea and drank it all. Although he didn't speak, he had clearly expressed his meaning.

Only then did Shen Wansha heave a sigh of relief, clapping his hands and laughing, "You two finally reconciled, it scared me to death."

Lu Li also poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, "Thank you for your hard work just now."

Shen Wansha took the tea, "Did you hear what the bustard said just now?"

Zhao Zhu's aura immediately turned dark, Lu Li quickly patted his hand, and answered Shen Wansha's words, "I didn't pay attention, just listened to it casually, the bustard probably has something to say."

Zhao Zhu's eyes were slightly cold, and he held Lu Li's hand instead.

Today, Lu Li did not shake off Zhao Zhu's hand because he offended someone badly today, and explained to him seriously, "Although the old bustard felt ashamed, it was not without other meanings. She couldn't see the status of the three of us. I don't want to offend at will, and seeing Shen Wansha's generosity, I thought it would be good to give some convenience. How could a young master of a rich family be willing to accept the love of a bustard when he came out to play? She said she would invite him, but in the end, Shen Wansha would spend It must be done, this old bustard is not stupid."

Shen Wansha drank the tea proudly and put it on the table, "That's natural, my father taught me since I was a child, you have to be generous wherever you spend money, especially in places like brothels, you must not let prostitutes laugh at you for being stingy !"

"Understood?" Lu Li lightly squeezed Zhao Zhu's hand to let him relax.This person obviously didn't like this place very much, and his brows and eyes were always gloomy.

Of course Zhao Zhu knew it in his heart, he was just dissatisfied that Lu Li didn't put all his attention on him just now, but now that the young man is so obedient, he even squeezed his palm to hint his affection so softly, so forget it.

Lu Li didn't know that Zhao Zhu's thinking was so far away. In his mind, there was nothing wrong with getting closer to the same sex. He used to get tired of being with his brother, and he hung shoulders with his colleagues. Rubbing other people's skin to warm their hands like a bear child, I don't think there is anything wrong at all...

Anyway, the quarrel was completely over, and the three of them quieted down, waiting for the bustard to come over.

After three rounds of food and drink, the bustard came again, and brought a very sincere message: she could provide the location of the last dead body.

Lu Li was more interested in this, "The last dead person, but the red card for drunkenness that you mentioned with the uninvited guest just now? I have read the official files, and there is no record of this case."

The madam covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled sarcastically, "Why do the government care about these cases? They are too busy with the usual cases. Those who died in this case are just prostitutes. It doesn’t matter if it’s gone, unless there’s a big problem, no one will take care of it. The one who died in the drunken red building died on the first day of the new year, which is a time of celebration, so no one will take care of it.”

Lu Li was very curious about the officialdom here.When Shen Wansha was released from prison, a pusher dared to ask for ten thousand taels of silver. Such a huge amount must not be taken by himself, but distributed to others.From what the old bustard said, spending money to atone for crimes seems to have become a common practice. Over the years, the government must have made a lot of money from here. Where did all the money go?

Lu Li tried to hint at it, but the old bustard talked about it, obviously not knowing, or knowing that he couldn't say it, it was a secret in Chengdu Mansion.

The current case is important, Lu Li can't force it, so he won't say more, just ask the old bustard to talk about the death of the red card when he was drunk in the red building.

It turns out that Zuihonglou is the best brothel in the local area. The girls in the building are the most exquisite and have the most red cards. Since the serial case happened, only one or two of the other buildings have died, or none of them died. The drunken Honglou has killed a total of five girls. .

The one who died on the first day of this year was a red card named Chen Jiaojiao. She was nineteen years old and became famous for five years. She had wonderful eyes. Gu Panshenghui made me feel sorry for her. Like Biyi, she died in the alley beside the building, because of the time of death. It's not right, no one cares about it when it is reported to the official, and finally the old bustard of the drunk red building restrained him.

"That ugly monster likes to do good deeds to gain fame. Everyone runs a building and is a mother. Who doesn't use all means to train her own girl, but she always pretends to be a good person and does good deeds. She compares us as a starter," The bustard sneered coldly, "Don't tell me she didn't beat the disobedient girl in the building? I don't believe it!"

Seeing that the bustard was still planning to curse, Lu Li hurriedly stopped him, "Where is the dead body now?"

"Wulipo outside the city. There is a river there. Because of the terrain, it is cold all year round. This season is even colder, but it can keep the corpse clean and free from rats and beasts. Although the ugly monster doesn't show off when he does good deeds, he doesn't Avoiding people, I listened." The bustard reminded them, "But it's getting late now, the city gate is closed, if you want to go, I'm afraid you will have to wait until tomorrow."

Lu Li asked about the drunken red building again, and inquired about the business there, the red card earned a lot, but there was a rivalry and competition with his peers.

Talking about this old procuress is even more angry, repeatedly saying that the ugly mother in the drunk red building is more ugly, and the new tricks are one after another, and the others who are running are out of business, such as the most popular flower card in Yicuilou in the past six months Yi, here is a big role, not even a role in Zuihonglou.Bi Yi's guests include Boss Zhou and Mr. Fu Yin, but these two only come a few times a month, and spend most of the time in the drunk red building!

Some of them have guests from Zuihonglou, and they have them without Zuihonglou!

……

Chatting again, the information I got was quite useful, at least I knew one more thing in common: Boss Zhou and Mr. Fuyin were in the list of benefactors of all the deceased.

Leaving Yicui Building, even Shen Wansha began to doubt, "Is the murderer one of these two?"

"This is a very important clue, but it is concluded that the murderer is still far away. We need to find the motive." Lu Li frowned slightly, always feeling as if he had overlooked something.

Turning the corner, the view is covered by street lanterns. The lanterns are either gathered in groups or connected in lines, swaying gently with the wind, attracting people's attention brilliantly and ostentatiously, very beautiful.

These lamps are either simple or elegant, and they are lit with moist candlelight. Accompanied by the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street, the sky and the earth, sparks intertwine, it is so beautiful that it is very different from the gaudy brothels just now.

"Wow——" Shen Wansha jumped out first, "Today is the Lantern Festival, we all forgot about it!"

Lu Li was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him, unable to recover.

Zhao Zhu shook his hand, "Shangyuan Festival."

Shen Wansha took out his silver pouch and ran towards the Lying Rabbit Lantern on one side of the stall, "I want to buy a lantern!"

The first thing Lu Li said after recovering was, "It's so beautiful!"

He stretched his brows and eyes, looking at Zhao Zhu's eyes reflecting the bright moon, clear and shining.

Zhao Zhu thought about it, and spent the full moon, isn't it a good time to reveal his identity?

He was hesitating, not wanting Lu Li to let go of his hand and rush towards Shen Wansha excitedly, "I want to buy a lantern too!"

Zhao Zhu: ...

Zhao Zhu closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief, and decided to catch the boy back to listen to what he had to say, but just two steps away, a person appeared and stood in front of him, with a rough face, a hulking back, and tears in his eyes, as if he was very excited. "Boss! This subordinate can find you..."

This person was very emotional, full of admiration and loyalty to his boss, but Zhao Zhu felt that it hurt his eyes, kicked him away with a big kick, and gave him a look, as if he thought he was in the way...

Yuan Lian rolled on the ground, got up and wiped his face, did the prince think he was ugly crying?But I can't help it, I just ate twenty skewers of barbecue, and the stall owner put a lot of chili!

Hong You was unable to touch his forehead outside the crowd: it's even more unsightly to have one black line on his face... I reminded you that today is not the same as in the past, and if you don't listen to us when we tell you about the situation, you will be at a disadvantage!

Zhao Zhu pulled Lu Li out from the crowd, and Lu Li held the Lying Rabbit Lantern in front of him, his eyes sparkling, "Does it look good?"

The young man was not far behind, Yuan Lian wanted to make persistent efforts to rush over, Zhao Zhu gave him a wink, Hong You and Xing Zuo hurriedly jumped into the crowd, and took Yuan Lian away with his mouth covered.

Zhao Zhu was refreshed and finally able to speak properly.He stroked the top of Lu Li's hair, his voice was as low as a spring breeze, "It's beautiful."

Lu Li was too beautiful, "Then I'll buy one for you too."

Zhao Zhu held Lu Li's hand to prevent him from turning around, "I have something to tell you."

Lu Li was a little surprised.

The breeze blew through his hair, raising the corners of his clothes in an elegant arc. Under the lying rabbit lantern, the young man's lips were red and his teeth were white, like a piece of peerless jade, exuding a warm light, which made people reluctant to take their eyes off.

"Okay." His smiling eyes were curved, and his small canine teeth were exposed, which was indescribably cute.

Zhao Zhu paused for a moment, the corners of his lips raised a rare curve, and his voice was soft, "I am..."

"Little Lizi!" At this moment, Shen Wansha came over to grab Lu Li and ran away, "Boss Zhou and Fu Yin's youngest son are in the teahouse ahead, hurry up, let's go and have a look!"
