After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

At this time, a boy brought another paper package. Zhou Lihuai jumped up when he thought of the dog hair yesterday.

"son!"

Then when I opened the paper package, there was still a bunch of dog hair.

Liu Yunxiang was silent for a moment and said: "It seems that the other party is very soft-hearted and will not hurt your dog."

Seeing the dog hair, Zhou Lihuai felt relieved.

"That means he is still following me."

Otherwise, this dog hair would not be sent to the palace.

While they were discussing the solution, Yan Mu was still reviewing the memorials. The emperor had returned to the palace and began to indulge in alchemy. As long as the memorials were not particularly urgent, he would still be left to handle them.

However, this was Hongxuan's idea, to deliberately arouse the emperor's interest in alchemy so that he could have more contact with government affairs and naturally succeed to the throne.

Having such a military advisor really made him feel more relaxed.

After reviewing the last memorial, Yan Mu raised his head and said, "Don't you think Xue Hefeng's attitude is strange?"

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Indeed."

Yesterday Yan Mu went to beg him, if only it was before he held a grudge. Today Xue Changfeng went to beg him and found his father. For such a trivial matter, there was really no need for him to hold on to it and cause so much trouble for himself.

"Old Zhou, the man following you must know something about the situation. We can lead him out of the cave."

Zhou Lihuai nodded and agreed very much, "But how to lead?"

At dusk, Zhou Lihuai was walking alone in the alley. After walking for a while, he glanced sideways, and then said loudly: "You have been following me for the past two days. You should have seen that I have tried my best and said to the high authority. I really can’t help it if I refuse to give up. As for my dog, it’s just a dog after all. You can stew it if you like..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Lihuai hammered his heart, just saying it made him feel heartbroken.

"In short, our deal can't be done!"

As soon as he said these words, he felt a gust of wind. When he came to his senses, he saw the girl. She was standing in front of him with her arms folded, only three or four steps away, with sharp eyes, staring at him coldly. .

Yan Mu said that although the people following him had high martial arts skills, they were not patient enough and had little savvy, so they should be easy to deceive.

Zhou Lihuaimo, it's really that easy.

He sighed, "Girl, I pity that child too, but I'm really powerless."

"Are you really not afraid that we will stew your dog?"

"Just a dog."

“A dog’s life also matters!”

"You have a dog too?"

"Raised."

"My Xiaoyue is a male dog."

The girl looked at Zhou Lihuai like he was mentally retarded, "Do you think it's a male and I won't stew it?"

Zhou Lihuai spread his hands and said, "You like dogs so much, so naturally you won't kill them. What should I be afraid of?"

The girl stamped her feet angrily, "Don't think I can't control you like this, I..."

She choked for several breaths. There was really nothing she could do about Zhou Lihuai.

At this time Liu Yunxiang, Yan Mu and Xue Changfeng came out of the alley, and the three of them walked to Zhou Lihuai.

The girl saw there were so many of them and raised her fists vigilantly.

"Don't be nervous, girl, we are not bad people." Xue Changfeng chuckled.

Probably because he looked quite honest and had a bright smile, the girl looked really relaxed.

"Girl, although you didn't hurt my dog, kidnapping it to force me to do things for you is somewhat unethical, right?" Zhou Lihuai snorted.

"Do you think you are innocent?" The girl looked at Zhou Lihuai.

Zhou Lihuai nodded, "I feel that I am very innocent, and my dog ​​son is even more innocent. He just smelled the fragrance and ate a meat bun on the ground."

The girl's eyes were sharp, "Your dog just ate a bun, but do you know that this bun can save a child's life?"

Zhou Lihuai was startled, "You...what do you mean?"

"They haven't had anything to eat in three days, and your dog isn't hungry yet, is it?"

As soon as these words came out, the other four people fell silent.

Humans are not as good as dogs. This statement sounds so appropriate and ironic at the moment.

"That day when Xiao Shuanzi was taken away by the officials, my family saw that the officials were very polite to you. I thought you were an official too, a high-ranking official, so I came up with this idea, exchanging Xiao Shuanzi's life for the dog's life. "The girl probably also felt that this was not very kind, so she spoke much softer.

Zhou Lihuai smiled bitterly: "I'm just a low-ranking junior doctor in the imperial hospital. The girl thinks too highly of me."

The girl lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, then raised her head to look at Yan Mu and the others behind Zhou Lihuai.

"They have done their best, but that child should never have stolen Xue Hefeng's wallet. No, it's not wrong to steal anyone's wallet. He..."

"He didn't steal the money!" the girl shouted emotionally.

"He didn't steal money?" Xue Changfeng asked, "But the officer interrogated the child and the child admitted it. He..."

Xue Changfeng paused for a moment, then his eyes widened, "There is food in the prison, and it is warmer than the hut in the Shannian Camp."

Zhou Lihuai also understood, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore, "So the kid was clever and thought he could stay in jail forever by admitting that he was a thief."

The girl shook her head and smiled bitterly: "That little fool, Xiao Shuanzi, is probably having some fun, but he doesn't know that he won't be able to eat even a few meals of prison food, and he will be strangled to death soon."

Liu Yunxiang sighed and took two steps forward. She looked at the girl, still a little unsure.

"Girl, your voice sounds familiar to me. Do we know each other?"

The girl's eyes widened and she took a step back.

"I'm not a bad person." Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Besides, don't you also like to call me Sister Bodhisattva?"

The girl didn't retreat and looked at Liu Yunxiang blankly. Under her soft smile, she still took off her veil.

This girl is none other than Xi'er. She owed the jewelry store ten taels of silver because she bought a jade hairpin for her mother. She worked hard to earn money to pay back to Liu Yunxiang. She finally saved enough a few days ago but was stolen by some children from the Shan Nian Camp. .

"Sister Bodhisattva." Xi'er lowered her head, a little embarrassed.

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Don't call me Sister Bodhisattva. If you don't remember, just call me Sister Liu from now on."

Xi'er nodded hurriedly, "Sister Liu is the most kind-hearted and kind-hearted. I like Sister Liu."

Zhou Lihuai crossed his arms and said, "Oh, so you know each other."

Liu Yunxiang told them about their previous fate, "She was stolen by a group of children from the Shan Nian Camp. She knew that the people in the Shan Nian Camp had committed a crime punishable by death under the law, so she did not pursue the case."

"Tsk, tsk, I heard that Xue Hefeng only lost one or two pieces of silver. He is a man, he is not as big as a little girl!" Xue Changfeng said angrily.

Xi'er shook her head hastily, "Xiao Shuanzi didn't steal that man's money, he was framed!"

"How do you say this?" Xue Changfeng asked.

Xi'er was about to explain when she heard someone calling her.

"I'm here!" Xi'er shouted into the alley.

Soon a tall, dark, thin, ragged child ran over. He ran so fast that his forehead was sweating in the winter.

"Sister Xi'er, Wangwang's stomach hurts again. It hurts so much that I rolled my eyes!"

When Xi'er heard this, she hurriedly wanted to leave, but when she thought of something, she quickly turned to look at Zhou Lihuai, "Are you a doctor?"

Zhou Lihuai understood what she meant and hurriedly followed her, "Tell me something about the child while leading the way. We'll prepare some medicine in the medicine hall in front."
