ten mile river moon

Because as early as when someone called someone dead, the shopkeeper had already sent someone to report to the official. Before Liu Chengyue and the others had time to find out the specific situation of the matter, the official had already arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked extraordinarily fierce, and he was extraordinarily strong, making people think that he must be a barbarian at first glance.And the man was followed by four people who looked like yamen servants, all of them looked calm.

Liu Chengyue frowned, feeling that these people were unexpectedly unfavorable.

And the fact is indeed the case. The leading man stepped forward and saw the shopkeeper of Juxiang Building and Lin Zhao standing beside him, his impatient and fierce expression on his face restrained a little, and when he saw Liu Chengyue standing on the other side When waiting for someone, he frowned, and then said fiercely: "The idlers leave quickly, if you delay the government's work, you will die a hundred times without regret!"

Ah!What a big tone, really interesting ah?Liu Chengyue looked at Jiang Lie with a smile in his eyes, and then Jiang Lie led the people to walk out of the store.

The shopkeeper behind him was still talking: "Let's go slowly, the clerks of Juxiang Building will send today's compensation for today's losses. If you have time to come tomorrow, Li will definitely entertain you. "The words are impeccable!

Liu Chengyue and the others went to a restaurant on the opposite side. When they left after eating, they happened to meet a group of officials from the Juxiang Tower downstairs. The shopkeeper of the Juxiang Tower was standing by and listening carefully to the fierce man He said something, but Lin Zhao disappeared.

Seeing Liu Chengyue and others coming out of the opposite restaurant, the fierce man glared at Liu Chengyue and his party, then waved his hands, "Let's go!" He took a group of yamen servants and carried Zhou Rui away.

The shopkeeper of Juxiang Tower glanced at Liu Chengyue and the others, then greeted them with a smile, and then turned around and entered Juxiang Tower.

In the dead of night, the alley is deep and dark. On the bluestone alley, a person walks briskly into the alley. In the dark alley, only a faint moonlight illuminates the direction.

In the small courtyard, when someone knocked on the door, Yeling opened the door directly to let people in, and led them to the small living room.

Liu Chengyue and the others looked at the shopkeeper of Juxiang Tower who had a completely different temperament from that of the day, and they were still a little surprised. Although they had already guessed that the shopkeeper might be the emperor's dark thread, it was a different state of mind to actually confirm it.

"Li Ran has met all of you, and my master has ordered me more than half a month ago to cooperate with the actions of several adults. If there is a need for Juxiang Tower or a place where Li can contribute in the future, I will directly order it." Li Ran cupped his hands. Bowing, said with a smile.

Liu Chengyue asked hesitantly: "Your Excellency's master is from the capital?"

Li Ran smiled when he heard this, and neither spoke nor nodded or shook his head.However, in Liu Chengyue's view, this kind of attitude was acquiescing to Li Ran, but it was just inconvenient to say.

But what Li Ran thought in his heart was that based on the relationship between the master and that person, what belonged to the master belonged to that person, so there was nothing to deny, but that person probably wouldn't recognize it...

"You guys must have something to do when you come to Yangzhou City this time. If you want to know anything, just ask Li. If Li knows everything, you can talk about it." Li Ran said.

Since there is such a good resource, everyone will definitely not waste it, and immediately let Li Ran talk about the things in Yangzhou City.

"So you're saying that the county magistrate of Yangzhou City is already colluding with those people?" Liu Chengyue was surprised.

Li Ran pondered for a moment, "It should be so. Long before you came to Yangzhou City, there were already two rich men in the city who had an accident because of smoking hemp tablets, but the matter ended up being nothing."

"Because the family of the person who caused the accident is considered a big family in this city, but since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials. Afterwards, the family who caused the trouble was punished by the county magistrate instead. Moreover, ordinary people in the city don't seem to know about hemp tablets at all. What happened to Zhou Rui today It is estimated that he will be suppressed by the county magistrate."

In this case, it is really difficult to use other reasons to explain why the county magistrate of Yangzhou City did this.

"Does the shopkeeper know where those people are, and how did they sell the hemp tablets to those rich kids?" Wen Ting looked at Li Ran and said, if this Yangzhou city and county magistrate really colluded with those Dayue people, what would he do? If there is such an activity as selling hemp tablets, it makes no sense for those people not to come forward, and the county magistrate will solve all the matters alone.

Li Ran shook his head, "Since I received the master's order at the beginning, I have sent people around the city of Yangzhou to get news on the mobile phone, but the news I got is very little. Those people seem to have disappeared from the city of Yangzhou. .”

"Just judging from the information we have received so far, those people must still be in Yangzhou City, and the amount of goods in their hands will not be small..."

Everyone felt a little heavy, especially Luo Qianlou and Arab. After all, these people were from the Great Moon Kingdom, and the bad things they did in Beichu would be borne by the Great Moon Kingdom. It spread among the people that the people who suffered from it would not distinguish between good and bad people, but only think that the people of Dayue Kingdom are bad embryos.

What they can do now is to catch those people as soon as possible and minimize the impact of the matter, but it is easy to say, but it is another scene to do it.

Li Ran went back soon, and only said that if there was any latest news, he would inform him later.Sitting in the small living room, Liu Chengyue didn't know what to say, it really hurt my head!

The development of the matter was exactly as Li Ran expected, and soon the government issued an announcement, saying that Zhou Rui was already in poor health due to drinking too much that day, and had an argument with Lin Zhao, the son of the Lin family. died.Because he had little relationship with Lin Zhao, but Zhou Rui was indeed dead, so the Lin family was asked to pay the Zhou family a large sum of money as a punishment.

According to Li Ran, if it wasn't for the incident that happened in Juxiang Tower that day, many people saw Zhou Rui's accident with their own eyes, I am afraid that the government would not even post this notice. After all, posting notices is another kind of publicity, but it is easy Let people's eyes focus on places that should not be paid attention to.

Zhou Rui's death became the talk of the common people after dinner. Everyone talked about it vividly, as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

After a few days, the anecdote that Zhou Rui died because of a quarrel with Lin Zhao finally subsided, and the people began to tell other interesting stories, such as the oiran of Baihualou kicked Liu Yuanwai's son out of the boudoir last night, and the city was already seventy years old Li Yuanwai actually married another concubine, and so on.

However, Liu Chengyue and the others are still making no progress at this time. As Li Ran said, there seems to be no trace of those people in Yangzhou City, but there are still expensive hemp tablets circulating among the rich men...

"Chengyue, what are you looking at?" Jiang Lie asked for tea and came in, and saw Liu Chengyue staring out the window, not knowing what he was looking at.

Liu Chengyue heard the words, but she didn't turn her head or speak, and continued to stare out the window.

Jiang Lie stepped forward, hugged him into his arms from behind, and then followed his line of sight to look down.

On a crowded street, in front of a wine shop, two young men in fine clothes were crossing their shoulders and talking about something. It was originally a scene of a romantic young man wanton, but because of their skinny and sallow complexions and their wretched and wretched expressions, it made people laugh. People have run out of appetite.

The girls who passed by along the way didn't even look at the two of them, and hurried away from here without any hesitation.

"Ah Lie, those two people also smoked hemp tablets." Without hesitation, Liu Chengyue said this sentence as if stating the facts.

Jiang Lie hugged the man and didn't speak. The two quietly watched the two young masters hook their shoulders and laugh, then parted ways, and each left in one direction.

Liu Chengyue turned around and put her arms around Jiang Lie's waist, and put her head on Jiang Lie's stomach until the two people were no longer within sight, "Why can't you find those people?"

Jiang Lie felt a little distressed when he heard the words. Liu Chengyue wandered around the street whenever he had time these days, hoping to get some useful clues. Yes did not get one.

"Don't worry too much, there will always be news. As long as the hemp tablets are still circulating in Yangzhou City, those people will definitely not leave. They are still in Yangzhou City, but we haven't found them yet." Jiang Lie can only do his best I can comfort you.

Liu Chengyue nodded, and then dragged Jiang Lie to the table for refreshments. She had no appetite for eating these days, and she didn't even eat much with Ah Lie, so she still felt very distressed!

After eating, the sky is getting late, and the lanterns on the street are starting to be lit.

Jiang Lie pulled Liu Chengyue out of the restaurant, covered by the lights, one was cold and stern, the other elegant and detached, the strange behavior of two big men holding hands seemed particularly suitable for these two, as if they were supposed to be in this way.

Look up to see the stars, lower your eyebrows to see the scenery, the ten-mile long street, hundreds of lights, this is a grand scene unique to this era.

Liu Chengyue was dragged by Jiang Lie across the long bridge and the long street, and the people who came and went showed them the utmost tolerance and kindness.With this situation, Liu Chengyue's depression and unhappiness seemed to have disappeared, and she just wanted to be dragged by the people around her and keep walking.

Although the two of them have been wandering around the city in the past few days, this is the first time they have come out at night, and they seem to have never been here before, and the street shops are a little strange.

Unknowingly, the two of them walked along the small river in the city to a lake, shaded by weeping willows, brightly lit, and there were even several huge boats in the lake, the sounds of silk and bamboo, voices of talking, and laughter wafted along the evening wind. to the ears of the two.

Jiang Lie tilted his head to look at Liu Chengyue, "Do you want to go and see?"

"No need, there must be a lot of noise on the boat. It's better to go shopping in the street and get something to eat." Liu Chengyue pulled Jiang Lie and turned around and walked to the other side.

Not far away, Liu Chengyue saw two handsome young men approaching, she didn't pay attention at first, and then remembered after walking a short distance, aren't those two people the same as the two people she saw in the teahouse just now?

Liu Chengyue stopped, turned around, and saw the two young masters were talking to a boatman by the lake, the boatman smiled, and let the two of them board the boat, with the penny propped up, the little orchid boat floated go far.

Jiang Lie didn't notice that the two had just seen each other before, but now he followed Liu Chengyue's line of sight and found that the two seemed to be familiar, and then he realized it.

Huafang, Ye Ye, Young Master... These pieces of information were constantly combined in Liu Chengyue's mind, and her intuition told Liu Chengyue that maybe they could know something this time...

Liu Chengyue pulled Jiang Lie and ran towards the lake, but before they reached the lake, a group of people came out from the street where they came out at the beginning, all of them were young men dressed in fancy clothes and flirtatious.

Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie stopped, and the group of people seemed to have discovered Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie. Everyone who was talking and laughing stopped, and the two sides seemed to be confronting each other.

Liu Chengyue looked up at the group of people, they were all sallow and thin, as if they were malnourished.

Um?There are exceptions?Liu Chengyue looked at Lin Zhao, who seemed a little annoyed, in surprise, smiled, and said loudly, "Brother Lin! We agreed to have a banquet together today, but Brother Lin refused because we already have an appointment tonight?"

Lin Zhao, who was put on his shoulders by one person, looked at Liu Chengyue, and then his face changed suddenly, and he wanted to say something, "I..."

"Brother Lin, don't be nervous. Since Brother Lin has an appointment tonight, my younger brother will naturally not force you. Let's make an appointment another day."

"you……"

"Or is Brother Lin still angry about what happened before? Brother Lin doesn't need to care about what happened before. My little brother understands it in his heart, so naturally he won't say anything more because of it."

Lin Zhao looked at Liu Chengyue, who was smiling, and Jiang Lie, who was silent and paralyzed, and calmed down, taking the hands of the people around him from their shoulders.

"Haha, why do you and my brother say these polite words, since we met here it is fate, if you don't have a meal with your kid, you will definitely blame me again, and arrange my fault in front of other brothers! "

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhao turned to look at his people, and apologized: "Brother Liu, I'm really sorry this time, this is my little brother Fa in Hucheng before, this time passing Yangzhou, if I don't entertain I can't justify it. I won't be with you this time, so as not to disturb your elegant mood."

The man looked at Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie on the opposite side, then looked at Lin Zhao's apologetic face, hesitated for a while and said: "In this case, Brother Lin will entertain the two little brothers, and we brothers will have more in the future." It's time to play together, right?"

Lin Zhao watched and patted himself on the shoulder, then led everyone to the lake, boarded a boat and went to the center of the lake to paint a boat, his heart was finally relieved.

Liu Chengyue took two steps forward, only then did Lin Zhao react, and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Brother Lin, it's been a long time. This time we two brothers must have a big drink, and we won't return if we don't get drunk!" Liu Chengyue said while patting Lin Zhao on the shoulder.

Lin Zhao came to his senses and smiled, "You said that! Then don't play tricks and stop drinking!"

The next moment, the two hooked their shoulders and turned their backs away from the lake. Jiang Lie, who was behind, looked at the two figures who were almost embracing each other, and tried his best to suppress his anger, otherwise he was afraid that he would accidentally kick Lin Zhao away. go out!
