Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 96 Be My Assistant

"Hey, brat, give me back the money!"

When the shopkeeper saw that the silver in his hand was taken away, his face immediately became fierce, and his fat body bumped towards Lu Yu.

"You want to get even such a small amount of money, you are really greedy."

For this kind of person who is greedy for small profits, Lu Yu would like to call him Boss Crab.

Flexibly dodging the shopkeeper's attack, Lu Yu suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, shopkeeper, aren't your prices here a bit inflated?"

"Falsely high? Are you kidding me? Our Zuixianju is an old store, and we have always been innocent."

Although he said so sophistry, the shopkeeper's expression changed.

"Oh, the prices are inflated? Lu Yu, what's going on?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's tense expression, Di Renjie also understood a little bit.

"I remember, I ate here with a friend. We only ordered a few dishes, but we spent five thousand gold coins."

Think about it, Pei Qinhu still owed himself that meal.

"Five thousand gold coins? In Chang'an City, even if officials gather, they may not necessarily spend so much."

After hearing the figure of [-] gold coins, Di Ren couldn't help but frowned and said, while looking at the shopkeeper, his eyes became a little more sharp and cold.

Immediately, Di Renjie investigated Zuixianju's bill and the consumption of each recipe, and found that there was indeed a problem of inflated prices.

Of course, there is no way to convict anyone, but when Di Renjie found out that Zuixianju was suspected of tax evasion, the shopkeeper was completely convinced.

"It's ignorant to be so greedy for a coin after evading so much tax"

Walking out of Zuixianju, Di Renjie couldn't help sighing.

In fact, people like this abound in Chang'an City, but sooner or later, I will punish them all.

"This is the selfishness of the human heart. Once the desire starts to expand, it will be endless darkness."

Lu Yu on the side said with emotion.

selfish?

Di Renjie silently bowed his head in thought.

"In the hexagrams, there has never been absolute good or bad, just like there is no absolute justice."

Ming Shiyin's bewitching words could not help but sound in his mind.

Wanting everyone to think that the law is absolute justice, I am indeed a selfish person.

Everyone has the right to choose their own future, whether it is right or wrong.

What I can do is to amend them on the basis of the law.

Just like Yuan Fang, for him, the family is more important than the absolute justice in his heart.

But if even I have doubts about the belief that has lasted until now, how should I go on in the future?

"Lord Di!"

Thoughts were struggling hard, but the all-too-familiar voice sounded in his ears.

"L?!"

Di Renjie suddenly raised his head, and found that the petite figure standing in front of him was Li Yuanfang.

"L!"

Before Lu Yu and Li Bai could react, Di Renjie rushed over with a stride and hugged Li Yuanfang's thin body tightly.

"Master Di, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yuanfang was taken aback, this was the first time he saw Di Renjie make such an intimate gesture with him.

However, there was no unaccustomed feeling, Li Yuanfang also hugged Di Renjie tightly, and said in that soft voice——

"Master Di, I'm back"

"Stupid, where have you been these few days?! Do you know how worried you have made us?!"

However, this kind of hug didn't last long, and Di Renjie's face and tone changed from being sad at the beginning to becoming as serious as before.

"Master Di, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong"

Lowering her head, not daring to meet Di Renjie's stern eyes, Yuan Fang said aggrievedly.

Biting his lip, the index fingers of both hands kept poking each other, and his cute big ears drooped even more.

To be honest, Yuan Fang's aggrieved appearance was even more pitiful than that of a little girl.

"Okay, I won't deduct your salary anymore."

Seeing Li Yuanfang's aggrieved and pitiful expression, Di Renjie sighed deeply and said helplessly.

no way

"Great!"

Li Yuanfang jumped up happily, her big ears pricked up.

"However, you have to submit a [-] review to me, and besides, punctuation marks don't count."

Interrupting Li Yuanfang's joy, Di Renjie poured cold water on him.

"Oh"

Yuan Fang's lovely big ears twitched again.

"By the way, Yuan Fang, where have you been these past few days?"

Gently stroking Yuan Fang's big furry ears, Di Renjie asked again in a caring tone.

"I'll go"

A little flustered, Li Yuanfang didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

However, this time, Di Renjie did not force Li Yuanfang to finish answering the questions as before.

"You have your secret too, Yuan Fang."

Said lightly, an apologetic smile appeared on Di Renjie's face.

"Yuanfang, I'm sorry."

"What happened that day is my fault. I know, for you, a rigid person like me must make you sad. "

"No, not really."

Li Yuanfang was a little surprised, not only Di Renjie's apologetic expression, but also, he actually apologized to himself.

Originally, Li Yuanfang was still thinking about whether she would be chased away by Di Renjie if she appeared in front of Di Renjie again.

But now it seems

"Yuan Fang, from now on, I will still use my actual actions to protect this Chang'an. However, even I will always make mistakes, and I need someone who can supervise me."

"So, would you like to be my assistant again?"

Di Renjie stretched out his hand.

"Ah."

Nodding his head, seeing the request and firmness in Di Renjie's eyes, Li Yuanfang also extended his hand.

Just like when they met under the bright moonlight, the two seemed to sign a contract, as if they were committed to each other, and they guarded each other's secrets.

"Why do I feel like I've knocked on sugar?"

Seeing Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang holding each other's hands tightly and staring at each other seriously, if it weren't for the fact that both of them are male, Lu Yu would have wanted to be the CP of this pair.

only

Where did Li Yuanfang go before that?

The shopkeeper of Zuixianju clearly said before that he disappeared after only a stick of incense.

However, an hour later, he appeared before their eyes again.

Is this a coincidence, or
