ten mile river moon

The two quickly entered the Juxiang Tower. Li Ran saw that it was Liu Chengyue who came over, still hugging Lin Zhao?Followed by Jiang Lie with a dark face all the way, although he was very curious, he still didn't ask anything, and quickly arranged a box for the three of them.

As soon as the door was closed after entering the box, Jiang Lie slapped it with one palm, and pulled Liu Chengyue into his arms with the other.

Lin Zhao also knew martial arts, and even though Jiang Lie was angry, he still had a sense of propriety, so he didn't use too much force in this palm, and Lin Zhao easily dodged it.

Liu Chengyue was a little embarrassing, but in this case, of course her own man was more important, so Liu Chengyue obediently gave Jiang Lie a favor, and then looked at Lin Zhao.

"Mr. Lin, you were rude just now." Liu Chengyue said with a smile, without any sincerity in apologizing.

Lin Zhao rolled his eyes inwardly, then waved his hands, forget it, if it wasn't for them, he would probably be caught by Liu Qi on the boat now, and he would be out of his hands at that time. It was a help to myself.

Seeing that Lin Zhao didn't seem to be recovering, Liu Chengyue was not in a hurry, and asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and brought it in front of him.

Just as Lin Zhao wanted to serve tea, the tea in front of him was taken away. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Lie taking a sip of the tea, and then looked at himself with a half-smile.

Lin Zhao suddenly felt that his back was cold, and his heart was also a little hairy. Who did he provoke? !

Liu Chengyue raised her hand and patted Jiang Lie, "Don't make trouble!" Then she couldn't bear to look at Jiang Lie's aggrieved eyes for a moment, forget it, forget him, it's just a cup of tea.

Tired, Liu Xiaoshou had to pour another cup of tea for Lin Zhao, then poured another cup for himself, and then sat opposite him.

Lin Zhao didn't know what he should say, how to put it, his intuition told him that Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie were not ordinary people, but at the same time he didn't think they were bad people, and Lin Zhao's brows were about to knuckle under the entanglement .

Liu Chengyue looked worried for him, endured it, and then said: "You don't have to be nervous, we are not bad people." After a pause, Liu Chengyue said again: "We are different from those who sell hemp tablets."

Lin Zhao suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Chengyue, who was still smiling.

After a while, Lin Zhao lowered his head dejectedly, "What do you want to know?" Although the palm of the man with the paralyzed face just now had no strength, he could also see that the man did not exert much force at all. Although he had some martial arts skills, he was not at all. The man's opponent.

Besides, Lin Zhao began to fear the current state of Yangzhou City. Those people colluded together and kept pulling new people in, and then people died continuously, but those who entered were deeply trapped and did not want to come out.

The current Yangzhou City is like a hell that eats people, but the people inside are either ignorant or simply incapable of breaking this status quo.Lin Zhao hoped that someone would stop him, although he didn't know whether he should trust the two people in front of him, but other than that, he had no other choice...

Liu Chengyue put away her smiling expression and turned a little serious, "When did this Yangzhou City start to have hemp tablets?"

"About a month ago." Lin Zhao said after thinking about it carefully.

Liu Chengyue was a little surprised. What Li Ran said before was that hemp tablets were only discovered in Yangzhou more than half a month ago.But now...

"How do you know that hemp tablets were only available in Yangzhou City more than a month ago?" Liu Chengyue's tone was a bit cold.

Lin Zhao was a little surprised. He didn't know why this person suddenly changed, but he answered Liu Chengyue's question honestly, "Because a group of dancers from the Western Regions suddenly came to the Moon Tower in the city more than a month ago. These dancers are beautiful and good at dancing. "

"Dancer?"

"Yes, dancers! These dancers are actually the tools of those people. Once someone gets close to these dancers, drinks what they give, and comes down a few times, they will become inseparable from Wangyuelou, or the people of Wangyuelou The dancers and the flax sold inside..."

"How do you know this? It looks like you haven't smoked marijuana."

Lin Zhao was a little shy when she said this, "Because Miss Luo Yan from Wangyue Tower is my confidante. Although Miss Luo Yan is in the world, her character is noble and pure, not like other people. She told me all these news , she also told me that if anyone invites me to go to the center of the lake to paint a boat at night, don't agree."

Liu Chengyue understood, it turned out to be the case, but looking at Lin Zhao's expression, I'm afraid this Luo Yan girl is not just a confidante, is she?

One couldn't hold back, Liu Chengyue asked curiously: "Then why didn't you help Miss Luo Yan redeem her body? Since Wangyuelou can do this kind of thing, the girls in the building must be in danger too."

One sentence was like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on Lin Zhao, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth, "I think so too, but it's not so easy! Miss Luo Yan is the courtesan of Wangyue Tower, where is the old bustard of Wangyue Tower?" It would be so easy to release him, and I don't have that much money to redeem Miss Luo Yan..."

Liu Chengyue sighed softly in her heart. Since Wangyuelou dared to do this kind of business, she must be more strict with the girls in the building on weekdays. Since it is so difficult for Luo Yan to tell Lin Zhao the news, it must be the same for Lin Zhao. There is affection, but the two of them can't be together because of various reasons, what a pity!

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and after a while, Liu Chengyue continued to ask: "What is the connection between the county magistrate in the city and the boss of Wangyue Tower?"

Lin Zhao was a little surprised, but after the surprise, he was ecstatic, "Did you two come for those people? Is there a way to catch those people?"

Liu Chengyue smiled, this Mr. Lin is much better than he imagined, "We are indeed here for this matter, but it is better not to ask Mr. Lin too much about other things."

Lin Zhao nodded. Although he was happy in his heart, he still had some basic common sense. He didn't ask any more questions now, but answered Liu Chengyue's last question, "The county magistrate Liu Min and that group of people should have a deal. Kind of like, the person who talked to me by the lake just now is Liu Qi, the son of Liu Min. Liu Qi often brings some noblemen or sons of wealthy businessmen to Wangyue Tower. You know, those who smoke marijuana will not say anything in front of outsiders, this is the rule."

Liu Chengyue nodded, no wonder they couldn't find anyone selling hemp tablets before. Although they suspected that it was distributed in places like Qinlou Chuguan, they still found nothing after walking around, but they ignored the special establishment of Mochiyuelou. Painted boat on the lake.

Those people have worked hard enough to make money, but they are so courageous that they collude with local officials, and they are so blatant.However, the detours and detours in this process are also painstaking. If it weren't for this mistake, it would be really difficult for them to find the clue so quickly.

After talking with Lin Zhao in front of Juxiang Building, Liu Chengyue and Jiang Lie wandered around the city again, and after confirming that there was no tail behind them, they returned to the yard in the alley.

It was still early and everyone hadn't rested yet, so Liu Chengyue called everyone together to explain the situation.

Yeling looked a little agitated, but Ye Xi held his hand firmly, and he slowly calmed down.

Liu Chengyue was a little puzzled by Yeling's reaction, but this should be someone else's private matter, so it's not easy to ask, so she swallowed her words back.

"According to Lin Zhao's words, the county magistrate is mixed with those people. Although Yangzhou City is prosperous and prosperous, the county magistrate's ability is not so great that it can cover the sky with one hand. The matter of hemp tablets has not been exposed yet, presumably there must be something else in it." Other forces." Mu Xing analyzed.

Gu Yueru nodded, "Although people don't fight with officials and people in the world despise businessmen, but the status of wealthy businessmen is also very high in today's world. It doesn't make sense for their children to die for nothing, but they have nothing to do. If you say It doesn’t make sense to buy it with money.”

Jiang Lie nodded, "Things are indeed strange, but now that there are already clues, if you want to know more, you can only look down. Tomorrow we will divide into three groups, and Chengyue and I will go to Wangyue Tower. Brother Gu Wen Ting and Mu Xing, both of you, stayed in the yard to study the hemp tablets brought by Brother Luo to see if there was a solution. Duan Fei and the others stayed The yard protects them."

Everyone had no objection to this, and the plan was decided in this way.

Back in the room, Liu Chengyue finally couldn't help asking curiously: "Ah Lie, why did Yeling react so loudly just now?"

Jiang Lie laughed and said, "Want to know?"

Liu Chengyue's eyes lit up, "You know?"

Jiang Lie glanced at him with a half-smile, and then said shamelessly: "If you want to know, what do you want in exchange?"

Liu Chengyue: ... Ah Lie is not cute at all. The person in front of him exuding a rogue atmosphere must not be his innocent and lovely Ah Lie. Does he want to return it?

Jiang Lie looked at the angry Liu Chengyue, and his heart trembled. He only thought that as long as it was Liu Chengyue, she would be so cute no matter what time...

He hugged the person in his arms, put his forehead against the other person's, his eyes were full of smiles, and sure enough, the little fool's face became redder and redder, and he approached slowly until his lips touched, and then the city was conquered.

After the kiss, Jiang Lie hugged the panting Liu Chengyue tightly, and then leaned his head on his shoulder, "Ye Ling's grandfather, Zhang Linzhi, was a famous loyal minister in the late emperor's time. At that time, everyone praised Zhang Linzhi, even the little dolls in the streets knew Zhang Linzhi's name."

"But such a loyal minister of literary giants was finally destroyed by a villain. At that time, Zhang Linzhi had a student who wanted Wang Jin. Because of his eclectic and bold writing style, he was appreciated by Zhang Linzhi. He recommended it to the late emperor."

"It's just that I didn't expect that Wang Jin was a hypocrite with duplicity. On the one hand, he was honest and upright to please the teacher, but on the other hand, he colluded with the profiteers in Jiangnan at that time, reselling salt and profit, causing the people in the Jiangnan area to live in poverty. To prevent the matter from being exposed, Wang Jin Jinhe and those profiteers even detained people who wanted to go to Beijing to sue the imperial court, and even killed people."

"Later, the paper finally couldn't contain the flames. The matter was known by the late emperor. In order to remove the suspicion, Wang Jin actually framed his teacher. Although the truth behind the incident came to light, Zhang Linzhi's reputation was rotten. Zhang Linzhi After that, he resigned and returned to his hometown, and finally died because of this depression."

After listening to Liu Chengyue, he understood Yeling's feelings a little bit. He could feel that such an old man must be extremely gentle and polite after hearing Jiang Lie's words, and he must be kind to a junior like Yeling.However, such a good person ended up ruining the reputation and hard work he had accumulated for most of his life because of a villain colluding with officials and businessmen, and died of depression because of this. Ye Ling must have hated him very much.

Now that the collusion between government and businessmen happened again in front of him, it was not surprising that Yeling would react like that.

"Being an official is so complicated!" Liu Chengyue complained softly in Jiang Lie's ear.

Jiang Lie patted Liu Chengyue on the back, "So Cheng Yue and her husband should go back to Wuying Palace and be millet bugs, it's not complicated at all!"

Liu Chengyue smiled, pinched Jiang Lie's earlobe, "Okay, then you have to take good care of me, if anything goes wrong, I'll leave home with my belongings on my back."

"Little fool." Jiang Lie's eyes were full of doting, and his smile was extremely gentle.Little fool, no matter how difficult it is to raise, as long as it is you, I can afford it...
