Since the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, Qu Shenzhou has moved back to the east wing to sleep, and every night he bolted the door firmly.

Liu Chongming came over and pushed the door a few times, but the people inside didn't respond, and he didn't know if they were really asleep or pretended not to hear.

He simply turned up his temper, and no longer condescended to find anger.

Although what he heard that night was indeed horrifying, just like what Qu Shenzhou said, for him, no matter how terrible things happened, it never happened.

Now that he has pulled himself together, he must not allow the same situation to happen again.

Right now, he needs to deal with twice as many things as before, which also leaves him no time to be distracted and mourned by those empty things.

Not only the usual account books and news from shops around the world, but also about Mu Jingchen, about Jiang Xingzhi, about Fang Wuyou, about the Yangzhuo wine shop, and so on.

Only then did he realize that the days when he used to just check the account books and count the silver were really too|easy.

Whenever he racked his brains to think about mobilizing manpower, he even felt a sense of being stretched, which made him realize that—in addition to his own people, in addition to those who could be mobilized in Shi Yan's hands, he still needed many people, including Fang Wushang.

The news from Kexiyan came one after another.

All the facts show that although King Huai was not in the capital, he did not go to Xiyan.The one most likely to appear in the Xiyan area is Mu Jingchen who accompanied Concubine Xian back to her hometown to visit her relatives.

Qu Shenzhou was right, Fang Wuyang was lying to him.

He went to visit the White Mansion, and tried to find out Fang Wuyang's life experience from his uncle, but his uncle told him not to worry so much, and only said that Fang Wuyang had received great favor from the Liu family, was beneficial and harmless to the Liu family, and was a trustworthy and useful person.

He went home and asked his father if he knew Fang Wuyang, and his father said he did.

The father's rhetoric is almost the same as that of the uncle.

The shock in Liu Chongming's heart was indescribable.

If it weren't for this unexpected inquiry, he would never have thought that his father would know about Fang Wuyang, but if that was the case, why did he get to know Fang Wuyang through his uncle?

"What about the banquet? Who gave it to you?"

For his questioning, Liu Weizheng also told him not to inquire too much, so he asked him to go back without answering a word.

Although it is not a predicament right now, Liu Chongming is in confusion.

Everyone around him seemed to have secrets that could not be revealed, and these secrets turned into a thick mist and dispersed around him. He could not see the way ahead, nor could he grasp them.

He was trapped, only Qu Chenzhou was holding his hand all the time, but he didn't know where they were going ahead.

"Shizi," someone called him softly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you watching?"

Only then did Liu Chongming come back to his senses. As soon as his eyes fell on the booklet in front of him, he unnaturally moved his eyes away slightly, remembering why he was distracted just now.

——If he didn't want anything else to distract his attention, he was about to be suffocated by the thing in front of him.

Qu Chenzhou's mouth is poisonous, although it is true, but he has ridiculed him for being uncoordinated several times, but any man can't bear it.

There are enough troubles on weekdays, and he also needs to find a place to let himself go.

After learning the lesson from last time, Liu Chongming knew that he couldn't bear the face-to-face glamorous situation, and there was no more suitable person to ask, so he could only pretend to chat with Zhiwei casually.

Zhiwei has also stayed in the academy for several years, and he is also a person who can observe words and emotions. After what happened last time, he knows that the son is soft-hearted and treats him well, so he serves him with all his heart.

Not only did he considerately prepare a brand new utensil package for him, but also prepared various utensil descriptions.

It was the booklet in his hand.

When he opened the booklet, he saw the strip-shaped thing at a glance, and he also had it on his body.

Seeing Zhiwei laying out those things of different lengths and thicknesses, Liu Chongming was so embarrassed that the distance from the split was just a little bit, and he couldn't show his timidity, so he could only bite the bullet and stare at the package, listening to Zhiwei tell him one by one. listen.

What is placed in front of him now is a one-foot-long box. Inside are ten longan-sized balls displayed in brocade. The thin copper shell is hollowed out and carved. The inside seems to be layered. I don't know how it was carved.

This thing looked delicate and cute, not embarrassing, he reached out and grabbed one, and quickly threw it on the table.

The ball was still lying in the box, but it hummed in his hand, as if the ball inside was spinning continuously, and his fingertips suddenly went numb.

Zhiwei hurriedly picked up the ball and put it in his palm.

"Don't be surprised, my son, this is Mian Ziling." Zhiwei turned a page of the brochure and pointed it out to him: "This ball is produced in a foreign country, it contains the liquid of a strange bird, and it will spin endlessly when it gets heat."

Liu Chongming saw that the ball was vibrating very slightly in the palm of his hand, as if there were some small beasts rushing left and right inside, and asked puzzledly: "This thing... can also be used?"

Zhiwei pursed his lips and smiled, and replied softly: "Hui Shizi, put it there, two or three balls can touch that point."

"Which point?" Liu Chongming didn't dare to listen carefully just now, his mind wandered so much that he had to ask.

Knowing his shyness, Zhiwei went to whisper a few words in his ear, and saw a large blush on Shizi's neck, all the way to the corner of his eyes, and even the faint birthmark became more conspicuous.

Liu Chongming felt that he was almost on fire.

But when the Mianzi bell was handed over, he was still holding it in his hand in a strange way, thinking wildly uncontrollably, if the ball was placed...would that person cry?

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he was looking at him with a sense of knowledge, so he could only hold back a shy cough, and asked again: "If... if it is an uninitiated person, can it stand it? Will it get hurt?"

Seeing that his eyes were full of uneasiness and tenderness, Zhiwei felt envious, and couldn't help asking: "My son...do you want to please your sweetheart?"

"What sweetheart!"

Liu Chongming's face turned dark, and he threw Mian Ziling on the table, the thin ball made a ding sound, split in two, and a puddle of thick liquid flowed out, and then stopped moving.

Zhiwei's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's because of Zhiwei's talkativeness, I beg you to punish me!"

Liu Chongming followed suit and called him in a cold voice: "Get up."

Zhiwei shrank and stood up, not daring to say any more, as if he was frightened, he answered the question just now in a low voice: "Hui Shizi, if you are not human, you can try one by one..."

"I see, put it all away."

Liu Chongming went to sit down on the other side, drinking tea, watching Zhiwei package the utensils lightly, and cleaned up the broken bell on the table.

I've watched it a lot, but I don't think it has any similarities with Qu Shenzhou.

"Zhiwei, how old are you? Where are you from? How did you come here? What about your family?"

Zhiwei stood by the table with his hands down, and replied respectfully: "My son, I am sixteen this year. Five years ago, my family suffered a disaster, and only I escaped. I was young and I didn't know where to go. I was abducted. Just send it here."

Liu Chongming sighed lightly.

If it was said that the purpose of setting up slavery in the past was to vent their anger on the Liequ people, it is now a mess.Not to mention the sale of a son by a relative, and a sale of a wife by a husband, it is said that in many places, it is no longer safe for solo business travelers.

As soon as the person is caught, the smarter ones can stay sane without crying. If they are drugged, they only need to go to the Control Department to walk around.

Even if relatives find it, it will cost a lot of money to escape.

For someone like Zhiwei, even if he let people out and had no place to stand, he was just wandering outside, who would benefit from it.

Even though all state governments have clearly issued strict orders, driven by interests, collusion between officials and bandits is not uncommon.

Bai Shiyan and Fang Wuyang had also heard these things before. Although he couldn't bear it, what he could do was limited, and he never thought of shaking the giant in front of him.

But Qu Shenzhou appeared in front of him, seemingly overwhelmed like a fly shaking a tree, but still trying his best, he couldn't laugh at it, so he could only choose to squat down and dig the rotten foundation together.

He wanted to become strong, he wanted to help people uproot these rotten people, and he wanted Qu Chenzhou to live in the sun openly.

No matter what falls from the sky or emerges from the earth, he wants to block it for others.

But Qu Shenzhou didn't seem to want to accept his love.

What's even more shameful is that, at some point, he had an unspeakable desire for the other person's body.

When Qu Chenzhou was in his room, his eagerness to move was still suppressed by his rationality, but now he lives elsewhere, he tosses and turns every night, suffering like swallowing burning coals in his stomach.

I don't know what to do.

Zhiwei had already packed up the utensils over there, seeing that he was about to leave without saying a word, he hurriedly followed behind and sent the package out the door, handing the package to the attendant.

Liu Chongming caught a glimpse of it inadvertently, and immediately broke out in sweat.

Now even the people in other courtyards regard Qu Chenzhou as a person in his house, so such a private thing will definitely be handed over to Qu Chenzhou.At that time, not to mention being opened for inspection, even if it is figured out, where to put his face.

"give me."

Liu Chongming picked it up by himself, put on a cloak, and made sure that there was nothing unusual outside, before boarding the carriage.

The closer he was to the other courtyard, the more uncomfortable he felt. He was obviously the owner of this place, so why was he sneaking around like a thief.

Why should we be afraid?

He entered the inner courtyard and stood by the hanging flower door for a while, to gather his mind, he did not take the bluestone road in front of him, and hurried around to the west side, but when he turned the corner door, he would collide head-on with someone from the other side.

It's really a narrow road.

If it weren't for the tight grip, the bundle in his hand would almost fall out of fear.

"My lord," Qu Chenzhou stepped back to make way for him, "My lord came back very early today."

There was fine sweat on Liu Chongming's forehead, he didn't wipe it off, he walked past with a sullen face, then turned around and asked, "You live in the east, what are you doing here!"

Qu Chenzhou saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood and was puzzled, but he still replied: "Doctor Qin is here and wants me to come and get some things."

Liu Chongming remembered that when he summoned the government doctor before, Dr. Qin also said that it is inconvenient to treat him when it is hot, but now that it is autumn, find a suitable day to show brother Xiaoqu the wound on his face.

"Go."

Holding the hot potato in his hand, he hurried into the bedroom without looking back, turned around a few times, but felt that nowhere seemed like a safe hiding place, and even regretted why he brought these things home in a flash of excitement .

A voice came from the yard, Liu Chongming jumped on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover himself, after a while, the whispering voice was far away, it turned out to be a servant in the yard.

He sweated a little, and suddenly remembered something, lifted the quilt, lifted a hidden compartment on the bed, pulled out an eight-treasure box from it, and then threw away the large and small boxes in the package, and put those shady things After wrapping it up, stuffing it all in, closing the hidden compartment, and letting out a sigh of relief, my eyes fell on the bed.

He hadn't moved here for so long, he almost forgot that there was this thing.

The lock of the exquisite box is still inserted in the keyhole, and it can be opened as soon as it is lifted. They are all worthless gadgets, but he always regarded them as treasures when he was a child.

When I moved here from the Hou Mansion, for some reason, I thought of bringing these along with me.

In the past, he used to pull his brother and tell him about his treasures. At that time, Qingchi was still very young, and he was greedy for his treasures. He was not willing to play with Qingchi unless his brother asked.

It's a pity that the days when the three of them made a fuss seemed like a long time ago.

Now there is no one who is willing to listen to his story...

Together with this idea, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, appearing so quickly, it simply made him shiver.

Liu Chongming suddenly lifted the eight-treasure box, and those tarnished beads and cracked bamboo cages scattered all over the bed. He pulled out the key and stuffed it in his bosom, and went out the door with the box in between.
