Rice bug

"Zhang Zijian is not an idiot, but others are not necessarily idiots either." Lin Dong narrowed his eyes, "The so-called mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind."

"The oriole?" Zang Feilong didn't turn the corner, "Who is the oriole?"

Lin Dong didn't say anything, and thought for a while with his chopsticks in his mouth.

"I'm going to a place tonight, but you have held Zhang Zijian back."

Zang Feilong frowned, "Where are you going? Is it dangerous?"

"I won't go to a dangerous place, in case you are called to battle again..." At this point, he suddenly paused, and glanced at Zang Feilong sideways.

Zang Feilong was so embarrassed, he said after a while: "There will be no next time."

Lin Dong curled his lips, this matter was a knot in his heart, even if he said it was over, once he touched the same thing, his heart still throbbed in pain.

"Anyway, it's not dangerous." Lin Dong picked up the bowl and finished eating, stuffed the bowl to him, and waved, "Go, go, just say I won't see you for a while."

Zang Feilong looked at the empty bowl speechlessly, it was clean, there was not a single grain of rice left, and said: "Is this still missing?"

"Eating and seeing you are two different things." Lin Dong wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, without raising his head, "I won't feel full just looking at you."

The corner of Zang Feilong's mouth twitched, he turned and opened the door and went out.After walking through the long corridor, he remembered slowly: Has this kid become more and more courageous recently?How do you talk to yourself?

……

Just after dinner, Ruan'er's maid came in from outside, looked at the table in the dining room and shook her head.

"Mr. Lin only brought in the food, but he didn't say he wanted to see anyone."

Ruan'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this kid pretended to be deep and didn't forget to eat.

Zhang Zijian was as expected, he reckoned that this Lin Dong was pretending to be seen by others, as for who to see...he casually glanced at the worried Zang Feilong.

Hmph, it's not pretending to show me anyway.

"Come on, Brother Lin, let's eat first." Zhang Zijian persuaded, "Maybe Mr. Lin Xiao is not feeling well, I'll ask the doctor to take a look at it later."

The corner of Zang Feilong's mouth twitched, thinking to himself: Who are you kidding?Feeling unwell and thinking about eating?

Zhang Zijian obviously felt that his reason was a bit far-fetched, but he did it on purpose. He turned around and said, "Is it because the eldest brother wants to marry his sister-in-law, so he is unhappy?"

Zang Feilong glanced at him, but didn't answer.

Ruan'er said ambiguously: "Master, it's all on your condition, which makes people feel embarrassed."

"This is actually a good thing." Zhang Zijian and Ruan Er sang together, while watching Zang Feilong, "You and my Zhang family are on the same boat, and you can get whatever you want in the future. Where is such a cheap thing in the world? I think Mr. Lin Xiao I also know this truth very well, so I will consider it behind closed doors."

No matter how dull Zang Feilong was, he should have heard the meaning.

Seeing his face change, Zhang Zijian added, "Of course, if Mr. Zang doesn't want to, I can't force you either."

Zang Feilong put down his chopsticks, turned his head to look around at the servants, "Tell them to go away."

Zhang Zijian smiled and waved to the people around him.

Soon everyone, including Ruan Er, withdrew, the door was closed, and there were only two people sitting opposite each other at the huge table.

Zang Feilong said: "I will not wrong Lin Dong."

Zhang Zijian was not in a hurry to answer, first poured him a glass of wine, then filled it up for himself, and said slowly: "Brother Zang believes that one thing will not turn back, I think it is a good thing, and I am also very touched. But... ..."

He accentuated his tone a bit, as if an elder was admonishing a younger generation, "Have you ever thought about the worldly perspective? Have you ever thought about whether Mr. Lin Xiao can really accept it?"

Zang Feilong frowned, Zhang Zijian understood.It seems that Lin Dong didn't promise anything, and the two of them probably only had a good time.

"I think Mr. Lin Xiao is a scholar, and he is so pedantic. Now I follow you, but I have a plan. If there is a way to get promoted and make a fortune in the future, who wouldn't go for it? At that time, who should marry a daughter or a daughter? It’s not up to him to decide.”

"Brother Zang, you are a loner. You have a quiet life, and you like to do whatever you like. But I don't think Mr. Lin is right? At least he hasn't broken his Lin family's incense, am I right?"

Zang Feilong drank his wine in one gulp, lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhang Zijian said quietly: "The heart of a child is not easy to come by, why bother to give it to someone who is not worth it."

Zang Feilong put down his wine glass, and Zhang Zijian waved his hand, "Don't be annoyed, I just can't stand it anymore. Of course, Mr. Lin Xiao is so cute, it's only human to like him."

Zang Feilong started to drink again, and Zhang Zijian saw that he was silent, so he persuaded him while the two exchanged glasses.

While drinking here, at the courtyard gate, Lin Dong sneaked out of the room when he saw that the sky was almost getting dark.

In order to show his trust, Zhang Zijian did not send an attendant near the yard. Lin Dong had already planned his escape route, and walked out of the yard with ease, and walked around to the hut behind the house.

Zhang's huts are lined up several times, and there is a tall ginkgo standing next to them.

He hid behind the ginkgo, first moved a few bricks to step on, then rubbed his hands, and began to climb the tree with difficulty.

Don't look at Lin Dong's usual limpness, but now he can climb a tree with all his strength.People say that scholars have no strength to restrain a chicken. Lin Dong was used to running in the mountains and fields when he was young, and he was not delicate. He also did things like climbing trees to dig out bird nests.

It's just that I haven't touched this for a long time, and my physical strength can't keep up.

When he sat on the branch, he was already panting with exhaustion. Looking left and right, there were a few servant girls passing by the front corridor holding wooden trays.He quickly shrank into the leaves and didn't move. Thanks to his small body, no one would pay attention to whether there were people in the tree on weekdays, so he was not found.

When the person was far away, he poked his head and looked out of the wall from the branch.

A horse-drawn cart slowly passed by the path outside the wall, and the driver was still humming. When the other party was far away, Lin Dong closed his eyes to cheer himself up, left the tree trunk and threw himself on the wall, climbing and kicking the Throwing himself over the wall.

Although the wall wasn't high, it wasn't low either. After passing by, it fell on its back as expected.

Lin Dong sat on the ground and gritted his teeth. After a while, he got up and patted the mud on his body.I just felt like my butt fell into three pieces, and my elbows and shoulders were so painful.

Looking at his hands again, he cut his palms while climbing a tree, and his fingernails were bloody because they climbed over the wall just now.

The pain on this body is incomparable to the pain on my hands, the ten fingers connect to my heart.Lin Dong pursed his mouth and let out a breath, covered his fingers and lowered his head to catch up with the carriage from the path behind the wall.

"Groom!" he called in a low voice.

The groom turned around and looked suspiciously, "This young master...is there something wrong?"

"I'm going to Yangzhou City, take me for a ride."

The groom looked at the sky, "It's about this time, it's too late to enter the city."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can catch up with closing the city gate." He took out money from his purse and stuffed it, "Help me."

When the groom saw so much money, he laughed immediately, let him get into the carriage, waved his whip, and rushed to Yangzhou City with a shout.

It was not too far away, and the groom kept urging the horse, and he arrived at the gate in an hour, and happened to meet that the city gate was about to be closed.

The carriage roared in, then slowed down in the city.

"Who is the young master looking for?"

"Look for a family named Li, a businessman." Lin Dong said: "Do you know? It's called Li Yan."

"Oh...Young Master Li, I know." The groom turned the horse around, walked around a small alley, and arrived at the gate of a mansion in a short while.The two stone lions squatting at the door looked a little serious under the light of the lantern.

Lin Dong thanked the groom, straightened his clothes and went up the stone steps.

He pulled up the huge door knocker and knocked on the door. After a few knocks, the porter soon came.

The door was pulled open a little, and the concierge frowned at a little guy who looked like he had crawled out of a pile of mud standing under the lantern.

"Which kid knocked on the wrong door, this is not where you came from, go!"

Lin Dong hurriedly said, "I'm looking for Li Yan, Mr. Li."

"Looking for our young master?" The porter was stunned, "Who are you?"

"You just say that Lin Dong is looking for him." Lin Dong reported his name, fearing that the concierge would leave him here and ignore him, so he added, "If you miss something, you will be fine."

The concierge was puzzled, but he didn't dare to bear the name of the mistake, so he had to ask him to wait and find someone to report.

After a while, Li Yan greeted him personally.

"Who am I, this is not Lin..." He saw Lin Dong's appearance at a glance, and the second half of the words slipped on the tip of his tongue, and he changed his words: "Why do you look like this? Are you being bullied?"

Lin Dong looked at him, "If you get bullied, don't you care?"

"Take care." Li Yan smiled, and at the same time asked his servants to prepare a new set of clothes, and then asked them to fetch hot water for Lin Dong to wash his dirty face.

Lin Dong didn't bother to care about his tricks, and walked inside while saying: "You must keep what you say, but we were implicated by you."

Li Yan pretended not to understand, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"

When Lin Dong entered the room, a servant came by with a hot handkerchief. He took it and wiped it on his face, and he felt better immediately.

"Don't pretend, we smart people don't speak dark words, are you using us to plot against Zhang Zijian?"

Li Yan's eyes froze, and the smiling aura from before suddenly dissipated from him, and changed into a cold aura in the blink of an eye.

He glanced at the servants, who immediately bowed and retreated, and even helped close the door.

Li Yan looked at Lin Dong again in a blink of an eye, and said after a while, "What do you know?"

"I don't know much." Lin Dong pulled up a chair and sat down, not afraid that he would dirty his house with mud, and said: "At first, I really thought you were just meddling in other people's business, so we asked us to help you find out what happened." The case of the flower picker, but later you deliberately disclosed Zhang Zijian’s information to lure us over, so I knew you were uneasy and kind.”

Li Yan was unpredictable, "Oh? How do you say that?"

"Let us help investigate the flower-picking thief, is it all because of Zhang Cheng's sudden appearance?" Lin Dong said: "You, a young master, didn't intend to take care of this matter, but because of Zhang Cheng, your attention is on us. "

Speaking of which, Zhang Cheng is also the culprit, because of his framing, everything started.

Countless people have been involved in this huge conspiracy, and everyone thinks they have mastered the most crucial part, but it is precisely because they are clever that they are mistaken by cleverness.
