Three days later, in the middle of the night, Guanshi Luo, who didn't even want his wife and fled alone with the gold and silver, was caught by Shucheng and taken to a courtyard outside the city of Ruanfu.

Guanshi Luo didn't want to enter the gate of the manor, so he was pushed and kicked by Shucheng, and fell directly in front of Lianyi and Shu Qingwan who were appreciating the moon.

The items in Steward Luo's package were scattered all over the floor. He was afraid that others would snatch them from him, so he stretched out his hands and put them into his arms, and then stuffed them into his own package.

Lianyi tucked the thick blanket covering Shu Qingwan's stomach in the chair, and turned to look at Guanshi Luo: "Boss Luo, don't come here without any problems."

Steward Luo glanced at Lianyi, and guiltily sped up his movements to stuff things into the package.

Lian Yi was amused by his action: "Don't worry, I won't snatch it from you, we will talk after you finish picking it up."

Seeing that Lian Yi's tone was still kind, Luo Guanshi became more courageous: "Young master, you... what do you mean, I just want to go out to visit my brother, you arrest me What?"

"Oh?" Lian Yi pretended to show an expression of enlightenment, "It turns out that Manager Luo was going to visit his family, but when you went out in the middle of the night, I thought you had done something wrong and had no face to face others, so you ran away Woolen cloth."

Guanshi Luo was stunned by Lianyi, and his face was quite shy: "Where is the young master's house? I am very good, how can I... run away?"

Lian Yi joked: "Then your custom of visiting relatives is quite unique, you need to go out in the middle of the night."

Manager Luo continued awkwardly: "I saw the time to go out, and it's... the best time."

Lian Yi didn't intend to continue the awkward chat, and cut straight to the point in a cold tone: "Then you usually go to see your daughter who works in the Li family courtyard, and you go to see her in the middle of the night like this? Are you not afraid that her husband will think you are having an affair?" ?”

"Guard Luo, it's time to tell the truth, otherwise I don't mind inviting your daughter here for a cup of tea."

Manager Luo became emotional, but he still didn't intend to admit it: "Young master, if you think I'm not doing well in Fushouxing, you can tell me directly that I have already cut off contact with my daughter, so there is no need Are you bothering her?"

It seemed that she didn't shed tears when she saw the coffin, so she knew that it was not so easy for Guan Shi to admit it.

"Little Deng! Come in." Lian Yi stopped looking at Guan Shi, turned back and poured himself a cup of tea, "Show Guan Shi what you brought."

Following Lianyi's voice, Xiao Deng, a clerk from Fushouhang, came in with a bag of things and threw it in front of Guanshi Luo.

Steward Luo glanced at the angry Xiao Deng, then at the jumpsuit with his back facing him, unknowingly unwrapped the package, and took out the contents of the package.

Inside the package were several pieces of Guanshi Luo's clothes. In order to escape for his life, he only brought valuable things. The clothes were bulky and worthless, so he naturally didn't take them away.

Guanshi Luo looked at his clothes, then looked at Xiao Deng, and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Deng said angrily: "Master Luo, shopkeeper Fei usually treats you well, how can you do such a thing?"

Lian Yi drank tea and answered for Xiao Deng: "When I was free and had nothing to do, I took the cloth sample to the medical clinic. An old doctor said that the medicine on the cloth was rubbed on, not soaked. become."

"At that time, you wanted to use jade juice to treat the cloth of Fushouhang, but you couldn't directly steal the cloth and soak it slowly one by one. You were afraid that Xiao Deng or shopkeeper Fei would find out, so you adjusted it directly. bottle, and when Shopkeeper Fei is not paying attention, he splashes a little on the pile of cloth every day."

"But if you don't want to be discovered, you have to splash evenly, and then you are nervous, and it will inevitably splash on your clothes or cuffs."

"You may not know that the ingredients used to prepare jade juice, after it gets on your clothes, it can't be washed off in a short time. After treatment, there will be color differences."

"So take a look at your clothes now, is there some places where the color is darker, like oil stains?"

"Book City! Give Guanshi Luo two lanterns and let him have a good look."

After being told by Lian Yi, Guan Shi immediately became flustered. He frantically pulled his clothes to his eyes, and looked at the cuffs and corners of the clothes one by one with the lantern in the book city.

Seeing that there were indeed some dark marks on the clothes, his complexion suddenly changed, and he sat down on the ground decadently.

The air was silent for two seconds, and Guanshi Luo suddenly sat up from the ground and said angrily, "Don't frame me! I obviously didn't wear clothes in those few days..."

Lian Yi answered the question in a leisurely manner: "Aren't you wearing something?"

Guanshi Luo got stuck, his face suddenly turned livid, he pursed his lips tightly, and fell to the ground again.

"Why don't you say it?" Lian Yi took a sip of tea, "I'll give you a chance, come on, please continue to explain, I'm listening."

Yes, the large piece explained by Lian Yi above was indeed as Guanshi Luo said, it was deliberately framed by him, but the content was not fabricated out of thin air, but guessed by Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan based on the situation at the scene.

Because Lian Yi's words tended to be the truth, and Luo Guanshi was too anxious to explain, so he was really fooled.

This idea was actually proposed by Shu Qingwan for Lianyi.

After the two had a quarrel that day, Shu Qingwan asked Lian Yi where the investigation of Fu Shou Xing got stuck, and Lian Yi truthfully told about Yu Zhi'er.

After Shu Qingwan, Lian Yi went to the pharmacy to prepare a dose of jade juice and came back, but the two of them researched it left and right, but they couldn't figure it out.

Afterwards, Shu Qingwan came up with this method, asking Shucheng to send a message to shopkeeper Fei urgently, ordering someone to go to Steward Luo's house, and bring the clothes that Steward Luo often wore during the poisoning period.

After listening to shopkeeper Fei's order, Xiao Deng quickly delivered the clothes. Knowing that it was the poison of Manager Luo, Xiao Deng angrily and spontaneously gave a false testimony with Shucheng, and even appeared together to defraud Manager Luo.

Unexpectedly, Guanshi Luo was really ungrateful, and because Xiao Deng's presence made him think that he was really exposed, so in just a few words, he slipped through his words.

"What? Don't you have anything to explain? Then let me say something else?" Lian Yi said and added another knife, "That day you went to Ruan Mansion to find me, if someone hadn't told you in advance that the master was not at home, you would Why did you appoint me alone, in the past, didn't you always come to me and the master if you had anything to do?"

"For the convenience of checking the accounts, the master seldom informs the steward and shopkeeper when he goes out. How did you know that the master is not at home?"

"Also, you kept asking me to go to Fushouxing with you that day, isn't your purpose of leading me to Yuanxi Town too obvious?"

Lian Yi put down the teacup, turned around and asked, "Guan Luo, what else do you have to say now?"

Guanshi Luo was stunned for two seconds, looked at Lianyi, and suddenly took a few steps forward with his knees as his feet. Shucheng was so frightened that he threw the lantern in his hand, and pulled out the thin silver sword with a "swish" to aim at it. Steward Luo.

Guanshi Luo trembled twice in fear, just grabbed the hem of Lianyi's clothes, and begged, "Young Master! Young Master, I was forced, Young Master, I was really forced!"

"You can see that I have been working hard for Fushouhang for more than ten years, so please forgive me this time!"

Lian Yi didn't brush Steward Luo's hand away, but just looked at Steward Luo and said honestly: "Boss Luo, I can't forgive you for this matter. If I let you go this time, the stewards of the other shopkeepers will know. How will the business continue?"

Guanshi Luo let go of his hand, was discouraged for a moment but became excited again, grabbed Lianyi's hem again and begged: "Then that young master, please spare my daughter, she really doesn't know anything, everything is my own No matter what the consequences are, I am willing to bear them!"

"Okay." Lian Yi promised, "As long as you tell the whole story, I won't offend my family and children."

Steward Luo nodded his head, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay! I say, I say, I say everything!"

It turned out that Guanshi Luo often helped his daughter in private by his daughter's father-in-law. The husband-in-law really thought that Guanshi Luo's daughter was stealing people outside, so he caught him and beat him up.

As a last resort, Guanshi Luo's daughter could only tell that Guanshi Luo was her father, and also told her address and place of employment, so that if her husband doesn't believe it, just go and investigate.

From this investigation, it is known that Luo Guanshi is working in the Ruan Family Fushouhang.

Later, this man drank and chatted with the other managers of the Li family, so he showed off that he had a capable father-in-law. Finally, it was passed around, and for some reason, it was passed as gossip to the ears of Li Shaoheng's subordinates. inside.

In those few days, Li Shaoheng was worrying about how to make things difficult for Lian Yi, and his subordinate helped him think hard, and finally he thought about it.

The story was passed on from one level to the next, and finally the man went home and told Guanshi Luo's daughter about the matter, and asked Guanshi Luo to help poison him. If he refused, he would beat Guanshi Luo's daughter to death and throw him out to feed the dogs.

Guanshi Luo disagreed at first, and the man really beat his daughter up.

Seeing his daughter covered in bruises and crying, Guanshi Luo felt distressed, and was finally forced to accept the matter.

Originally, he had been poisoned to attract Lian Yi, and he cooperated with Jia's family quite tacitly, so he put his heart in his stomach, and waited for Lian Yi to settle the matter, and he was considered to have escaped.

Unexpectedly, the Jia family suddenly regretted it, and Jia Heru brought the steward to come to apologize.

With such a scene, he knew that this matter was no longer possible.

In addition, when he went to Jia's house later, Jia's attitude turned 180 degrees, which made him even more determined to run away with his daughter.

Of course he also knew that Lian Yi had people watching him, so he deliberately pretended to be nonchalant for a few days, then packed up the gold and silver, and ran away in the dark while the guards were changing shifts.

Unexpectedly, the mountain road he specially chose had already run into a hidden village, and was finally captured by the man in a suit.

Guanshi Luo sat slumped on the ground, his whole body like a deflated sphere: "That's the way it is, I was really forced to do nothing, if it wasn't for the damned bullying my daughter, I definitely wouldn't do such a thing .”

Lian Yi thought about what he couldn't figure out: "Then, did you ask the Jia family why they stopped all of a sudden?"

Guanshi Luo shook his head weakly: "I tried to ask, but they all pretended that there was no such thing, and kept pretending to be innocent, so I knew it was hopeless."

Shu Qingwan rarely opened his mouth, and asked, "Did the Li family tell you to stop?"

"No." Guanshi Luo shook his head again, "I didn't say anything over there, and I didn't ask."

Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan were silent for a moment, then waved to Shucheng to take Guanshi Luo down.

This clue seems to be broken, but Lian Yi and Shu Qingwan can indirectly detect that there is a crack in the relationship between Li Shaoheng and Pei Yanfeng, otherwise the two parties would not suddenly part ways when the matter is about to succeed.

But as for what it was, the two still didn't figure it out.

But the matter has come to this point, we can only see tricks and tricks, and the answer will surface by itself sooner or later.

After tidying up the scene, Lian Yi personally appointed Xiao Deng as the new steward of Fushouxing, and then ordered Shucheng to bring Steward Luo back to the city, while he helped Shu Qingwan into a room in another courtyard to rest.

The results from the original Xizhen side have come out. The magistrate of the town is very incorruptible. It took a few days to interrogate a confession confessing Li Shaoheng. When he quickly passed it to the magistrate of the city, he also sent a letter of confession. jumpsuit.

Later, Lian Yi also sent several black-clothed men who had worked with An Lian to the city magistrate, and filed an appeal, accusing Li Shaoheng of assassinating the imperial court officials many times.

Now with Guanshi Luo's confession, Li Shaoheng will definitely not be able to afford it this time.

Shu Qingwan's wound still hurts a bit, so it's not suitable for a long ride, and tomorrow he will take Lianyi to meet the leader of the assassins who were taken away by the masked men, so they didn't follow the book city back to the city.

The two stayed in the other courtyard of Ruan's house, leaving only books and four or five guards on the roof as companions.

In the early morning of the second day, Shu Qingwan's wounds healed up again. The two left their books and rode together on the same horse. Go meet the leader of the Assassins who has been captured for days.

After a few years of separation, it has been six years since the two of them rode together, and now they are sitting together, as if they have returned to the old days.

Lian Yi was also very emotional, holding Shu Qingwan in his arms with one hand, and pulling the rein with the other hand, said: "It's amazing, Wanwan, I didn't expect that time has passed so long, and we have all grown up."

"Yeah." Shu Qingwan said, "Time flies by quickly."

Lian Yi remembered what Xuan Qing said when she went to find Xuan Qing, so she asked: "Wan Wan, Master told me that you had looked for him before, and told him that you had a second heart, why do you like me? Tell me, instead run to tell Master."

Shu Qingwan hesitated for a while, but still said truthfully: "At that time, I thought it was a very sinful thing for me to fall in love with you, and I was also afraid that you... would hate me."

"How could I hate you? I obviously liked you very much back then, and I was inseparable from you every day." Lian Yi asked curiously, "Then why did you want to talk about it later?"

Shu Qingwan's ears turned red: "You said, before you meet someone you like, you want me to accompany you to wander the rivers and lakes and stay with me all the time."

"I want to tell you about this after Ji Ji, and want to be your... the first person you like."

Lianyi's heart was softened by Shu Qingwan's words, but she felt a little pain in her heart: "Wanwan, why are you so stupid, you are obviously going in both directions, you have to hide it in your heart, and you are in love alone."

"Oh, my husband won't be able to kiss you this time, come here and rub my husband." Lian Yi said, rubbing Shu Qingwan's head with his head as if soothing, "You are the first person I like. , and it will be the last."

"Well, let me tell you one more thing to make you happy too."

Shu Qingwan's ears turned red from being rubbed by Lian Yi's intimate movements, and he tilted his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lian Yi recalled her amnesia, but never mentioned it to Shu Qingwan in full, so she said: "I fell into an ice spring when I was eight years old, and lost my memory before I was eight years old. Then I fell into the water in the backyard of Pei's house, and then I almost forgot the memories in the middle, so after the flower appreciating conference, I can't remember my previous feelings for you at all."

"It's just such a situation, I fell in love with you again, so I was attracted to you twice, it can be regarded as falling in love with you twice, are you happy?"

As Lian Yi spoke, he recalled the scene of Shu Qingwan's Chinese aphrodisiac at that time: "Oh my god, Wanwan, let me tell you, you took the medicine at that time, and you looked at me when I opened the door and walked in. The first time I saw it, my heart almost stopped."

"And in that water, I almost had a nosebleed at that time, you and I..."

Before Lian Yi could finish speaking, he saw Shu Qingwan lightly pressing the horse's back, turning his whole body to sit sideways.

She was about to tell Shu Qingwan to be careful about the wound, but Shu Qingwan turned to her and kissed her gently on the mouth: "Now the kiss is here."

Lian Yi was stunned for a moment, and just realized that she seemed to have said "I can't kiss you" earlier, Shu Qingwan hugged her head and kissed her affectionately.

Two guards hiding in the trees in the distance slipped their feet, quickly stabilized their figures, and lowered their gazes with interest.
