Cannon's little husband

"Wan Xia? Is it really you?" Seeing the man's face clearly, Lian Qi couldn't help exclaiming, "Didn't you go home already? Why are you here again?"

But Wan Xia turned her head away, unwilling to look at them, and unwilling to make any more noise.

At this time, the man standing in front of Wan Xia looked at Lian Qi, his eyes flashed with doubt, he waved his hand, signaling for others to take Wan Xia down, and then said to Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu: "The two guests know the kid just now?"

Lian Qi's complexion was a little bad, "What's going on? My senior brother just rescued him from the hands of the traffickers."

But the man waved his hand, "I know about the child abduction case. My Shunchang dental firm is different from those human traffickers. People who come to me have both money and goods, and all kinds of deeds. The deed of sale that Xia signed with my dental firm is still here with me!"

"This..." Lian Qi was a little hesitant, "But as I remember, unless you are a person who has confiscated your home and is not a lowly citizen, buying and selling is prohibited."

"Isn't there still a way to become a lowly citizen voluntarily?" the man said, probably because he was suspected, so his tone was not very good.

Lian Qi: ...

He also doesn't know if Yaxing's actions are in compliance with the rules, but Lian Qi guesses that the most likely possibility is that this is actually a gray area, and the public will not be held accountable.

"I rescued Wan Xia from the trafficker's car, so your dental practice is also involved with the trafficker?" Just when Lian Qi was blocked by the man's words, Tang Wuyu was cold Honestly, "Master Zhixian has been busy going around with this case recently. Thinking about it, he will definitely attach great importance to this clue."

Lian Qi's eyes lit up, yes!Why didn't he think of it!

The man's face changed. He never expected that he would cause such a big trouble just because he was ordered to bring back the fleeing "goods".

"Well, two guests, this matter is not up to me. Wan Xia has long been bought by people from Yuying Pavilion, and the deed of sale has also been sent to Yucheng. But not long ago, people from Yuying Pavilion said, The person who had been appointed in advance escaped, so I went to look for him at his house, and I found this kid hiding at home." The man rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of an excuse, but he avoided Tang Wuyu's previous question. don't talk about it.

Tang Wuyu didn't say much, just took Lian Qi's hand and walked outside, "Let's go, Juzhi County will like this clue very much."

Seeing Tang Wuyu's reluctance, the man's face also changed color, "You two, don't be shameless!"

Tang Wuyu paused, turned around and glanced at the man coldly, Lian Qi said at the right time, "Now I have reason to suspect that the people in your tooth shop have something to do with that organization, maybe you are secretly Cooperated with those traffickers."

"You are slander!"

"Whether it is slander or not, the county magistrate will naturally know it. It depends on whether you dare to go to the county government with us." With Tang Wuyu behind him, Lian Qi simply "fake the tiger's power"!

The man's face changed extremely violently, and it was obvious that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in his heart.

Lian Qi said again: "Besides, you also made up a similar story. You said that Wan Xia's deed of sale was in your shop, but then you said that his deed of sale had been sent to Yucheng. Do you think we stupid?"

Now the man who changed the dental shop was speechless again, he pointed at Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu, "You..."

"We didn't mean to be against the dentist, otherwise, we would come to you to ask if there is nothing wrong?" Lian Qi finally said kindly, "Well, how much money did the person from the restaurant pay? I directly Twice as much!"

The tooth dealer's expression changed, as if he was a little moved.

They also knew that too many people were involved in that case of child abduction and trafficking. Hearing that His Majesty was furious, he specially sent imperial envoys to investigate the case.

Moreover, there were gossip that the group of human traffickers seemed to have kidnapped a great little guy, and even alarmed General Zhen Guo, and it was possible that the general himself had personally intervened in the case.

If that's the case, then no matter who is behind Yuying Pavilion, I'm afraid they won't be able to please.

The man's thoughts changed sharply, and he thought about the matter clearly in just a moment. The reason why Yu Yingguan came to urge him was the reason he found out at random. Since the two people seem to be very fond of that Wan Xia care……

So, the man added some to Wan Xia's price, and reported the final amount, "It's 16 taels of silver in total."

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Lian Qi's face, just as he was about to say something, he was pulled by Tang Wuyu, unable to speak.

"Okay." Tang Wuyu agreed very simply.

The man immediately smiled, "Oh, you two, don't be too expensive, this Wan Xia's knowledge is very good, and you can also enlighten the young master at home if you bring it back. Doesn't this mean that you don't need to ask another teacher? "

Tang Wuyu didn't respond, but just stretched out his hand, "The deed of sale."

That man was also straightforward, and hastily called someone to take Wan Xia's deed of prostitution, and handed it to Tang Wuyu respectfully, "Please don't spread this matter to the outside world."

Tang Wuyu glanced at him with a half-smile, "I won't ask for trouble."

With Tang Wuyu's promise, the man seemed relieved and dragged Wan Xia out himself.

Lian Qi frowned, stepped forward a few steps, waved away the man's hand, and pulled Wan Xia into his arms.

Tang Wuyu checked the prostitution contract again, and said, "That's it, it's over." He was about to leave with Lian Qi and Wan Xia.

Just at this time, the guy who went to find someone also rushed back, followed by a man with a face full of wind and frost, who should be the shopkeeper of Xingqing Pastry. Seeing Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu walking out of the gate, he couldn't help but wondered. : "Hey, the guest is..."

In a blink of an eye, he saw the man behind Lian Qi again, and the man immediately bowed and saluted, "I have seen the third young master."

"Yeah." The third young master nodded arrogantly, "Talk." After finishing speaking, he swayed away with his hands behind his back.

On the other hand, Lian Qi, staring at the back of the third young master, complained silently in her heart, this didn't look like the young master at all, but rather like a dog's leg.

But that's what he thought, they still have more important things to do now.

It was only after seeing that guy that Lian Qi remembered that their original purpose of coming to this dental shop was to find a suitable shop.

Lian Qi held Wan Xia with one hand, patted himself on the head with the other, and said apologetically to the guy: "Oh, I almost forgot, this is..." He looked at the man behind the guy , the man looks to be only about 40 to [-] years old, but his hair is already a little gray.

Lian Qi couldn't help but have some guesses in her heart.

Sure enough, the next moment the guy introduced: "This is Qi Bai, the shopkeeper of Xingqing Pastry."

Qi Bai cupped his hands and greeted Lian Qi, "I don't know what to call this little brother?"

"Under Lianqi."

Because she was still thinking about Wan Xia's matter in her heart, after the greetings, Lian Qi got to the point directly, "Is the store owned by Shopkeeper Qi sure to be sublet?"

Qi Bai nodded, with a wry smile on his face, "I'm sure, even if the income of that shop is paid back, but the gambling shop has already issued an ultimatum, if it doesn't pay back, it will smash the shop, and it will still operate as before. not go down."

Lian Qi was stunned, he said, otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to keep the shop and pay off the gambling debt?

But, for some reason, Lian Qi always felt a little weird.

Several people confirmed the specific time when the shopkeeper Qi Bai moved out, the whereabouts of various furniture in the store, and other minor issues, and finally confirmed the rent and time again, "The shopkeeper Qi Bai will move the shop within half a month. After tidying up, the rent is 50 taels a year, and then rented for ten years, a total of [-] taels."

Lian Qi nodded and said directly, "If there is no objection, then let's sign the contract."

Shopkeeper Qi couldn't help being a little surprised to see Lian Qi being so forthright, "Won't Brother Lian take a look at the store?"

"Before coming here, my brother and I had snacks there."

Shopkeeper Qi was taken aback, and after a while, he smiled wryly, "If that's the case, then sign it!"

※※※

After dealing with the matter of the shop, Lian Qi had trouble with Wan Xia's matter.

"Let's take you home first." Finally, Lian Qi said.

The current Wan Xia is completely different from when Lian Qi saw him before.

"Thank you." There was no expression on Wan Xia's face, but Lian Qi could tell that he tried very hard to adjust his facial expression to show a smile, but unfortunately he failed. You can accommodate me, after Jiaci's funeral is over, I will..."

"I am sorry for your loss."

Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu had already guessed it when they saw Wan Xia in filial piety at Yaxing.It can be said that Wan Xia's filial piety was the last straw that prompted Lian Qi to meddle in her own business.

After all, the dead are the most important, no matter how urgent it is, can't we wait for other people's funerals to be finished?This is not a military matter.

Lian Qi patted Wan Xia's head, "You can take care of your mother's funeral first, and we will talk about the rest after the end."

Wan Xia's eyes flickered, as if tears were about to leak from his eyes again, but he quickly held back, "Thank you."

Looking at the thin figure leading the way, Lian Qi couldn't help but sigh, "Should I tell Ayu about this? Should I tell the truth, or..."

"Tell me the truth." Tang Wuyu's voice was very calm, "Ah Yu won't be disgusted either."

"Before coming here, Ah Jun told me to go to the dental shop to choose a maid or a boy. I refused at that time, but I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon." Lian Qi whispered to Tang Wuyu while walking.

"Not a boy."

"Ok?"

"Tong Yang Fu."

Lian Qi: "..."

"Here we are." Just when Lian Qi was speechless for his senior brother's answer, Wan Xia's voice came from the front.

Several people looked up, and in front of them was a very low earthen house, which looked a bit crumbling. Lian Qi always felt that a gust of wind might blow it down.

"The humble house is poor, I've wronged you two." Wan Xia opened the door, and there was a thin coffin parked in the yard. In front of the coffin were several chipped porcelain plates and bowls, and an incense burner that had burned out the incense.There is also a clay pot directly below the incense burner, which is used to burn paper.

The entire mourning hall is extremely simple, no, maybe it can't be called a mourning hall, because there is not even a hall, not only that, there is not even the white banner that will be seen at the funeral.

Wan Xia stepped forward and knelt down on one side of the coffin.

Lian Qi stepped forward, took out three sticks of incense, bowed earnestly, and inserted them into the incense burner in front, Wan Xia bowed to the ground and returned the gift.

Tang Wuyu also went up to offer incense, but Wan Xia still returned the gift.

After finishing, Lian Qi couldn't help asking, "Is there no one else?"

Wan Xia said in a low voice, "The neighbor has already been here a few days ago, and my mother and I have no relatives."

One sentence made Lian Qi silent, and he asked again, "Is there anything that senior brother and I can help with?"

Wan Xia shook her head, "After seven days of vigil, the burial is enough. There are still three more days."

Three days.

Lian Qi calculated the time, it should be that Wan Xia had just been rescued, and after returning home, she found...

He sighed silently in his heart again, said again, and closed the door behind him.

It's just that they didn't leave immediately, but after walking a certain distance, they knocked on the door of a nearby house.

"Who?" The door was slightly opened, and a somewhat vigilant voice sounded.

"I'm Wan Xia's friend. I want to ask you about the situation. How did his mother get there?"

"How else can I die, of course I died of illness!"

"However, as far as I know, Wan Xia seems to have hired a doctor for his mother before she left." Lian Qi didn't directly say that she left money at home. Her own sick mother left too much money to be safe.It is a better choice to directly use the money to hire a doctor.

"You said doctor, but I only saw that doctor come once, and he never came again. Maybe he gave up because he thought he couldn't be cured! However, that boy Wan Xia came back in time, otherwise If so, those families who live near his home will report to the authorities, it is said that there is a stench coming out, like the smell of people who have been dead for a long time."

"Is what you said true?"

This time, not only Lian Qi, but even Tang Wuyu's face showed a hint of emotion.

"Of course it's true, do I need to lie to you!" After finishing speaking, the man closed the door with a bang.

Lian Qi and Tang Wuyu looked at each other, "Let Ayu come and accompany him tomorrow."

I hope that little guy Ayu can give him a little comfort, this is the only thing Lian Qi can do for Wan Xia.

"At the beginning, it was Wan Xia who protected Ayu all the time, now, it's time for Ayu to accompany him well."

"Tell Juzhi County about the Yaxing." After a moment of silence, Tang Wuyu said.

"Senior brother didn't say..."

"I won't ask for trouble, but you will."

Lian Qi: ...why is my senior brother so choked up when he cheats?

※※※

three days later

As soon as he opened the door, Lian Rui was taken aback by the three people in front of the door, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Among the three, the one with ankle-length hair and a calm expression said, "I'm looking for Lian Qi."

Just after the man finished speaking, the child who was holding his hand also said, "I want to find Lian Yu!"

Lian Rui's eyes fell on the other child again, "Wan Xia?"

After inviting them to the main hall, the three of them were taken over by Lian Qi. Lian Rui went to the academy. The exam is going to be on the fifth day of August. Recently, he can't wait to sleep and study.

Zhuge Xiao took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, put the teacup aside, and never moved again, Ah Yao had the same reaction as him.

Lian Qi didn't care, after all, one is a general and the other is a prince, the tea he drank must be much better than the one he bought casually.

On the other hand, Wan Xia looked very restrained, and in the end it was Lian Qi who forced the teacup into his hand before he was willing to drink, and even if she was sitting, Wan Xia only sat half of her buttocks on the chair. Looking at it from a posture, it seems that as long as Lian Qi has a request, he will stand up immediately.

"Aqi, I came here this time because I actually have something to ask." Zhuge Xiao is a person who doesn't like nonsense, and always likes to get straight to the point.

"Uncle, please tell me."

"Ah Yao's father's anger has not subsided. If I take him back like this, he will probably have his leg broken. His leg has only healed for three months. I'm afraid that if he breaks it again, it will directly become Lame, so I want to put him on your side for a while, how about it?"

"I don't have a problem here," Lian Qi looked at Ah Yao, "Anyway, there are many children, so it's okay to let one child go, and it's the same to let a group go. But, the conditions here are not very good, can he bear it?"

Zhuge Xiao nodded slightly, "Okay, you can just raise him rough. He is very tough. When I was eight years old, I took him on an expedition. The conditions at that time were much worse than now, and he was still alive and kicking."

Lian Qi: ...

Traveling with an eight-year-old?This, is this raising a child or a pet?

He couldn't help but glanced at Ah Yao, that look was full of love and pity, it was really not easy for the poor baby to survive until now.

"I can endure hardship!" Ah Yao also puffed up her little chest, "I'm a man!"

"Oh? Really?"

"Of course!"

"Come on," Lian Qi filled Ah Yao's teacup, "on the first day of becoming a man, start by drinking bad tea."

Ah Yao: ...

"Who said just now that a man is a real man?" Zhuge Xiao saw that Ah Yao was deflated, and made up for it with great interest.

Ah Yao looked dissatisfied, "I'm not used to bad tea, it's not because of you!"

Many people know Zhuge Xiao's fondness for tea. During the holidays, others like to send good tea to the general's mansion. He used to drink good tea as plain water since he was a child. That's how Ah Yao got used to it.

Zhuge Xiao said calmly, "I didn't force you to drink."

Ah Yao: ...

Turning her head angrily, she saw Wan Xia holding a cup of tea and slowly sipping.

Sensing Ah Yao's gaze, Wan Xia raised her head and glanced at him, neither sadness nor joy in that glance.

Ah Yao couldn't help but look at Wan Xia a few more times, always feeling that he looked different somewhere.

And just as the two of them looked at each other, Zhuge Xiao had already discussed with Lian Qi, and he took out a few bank notes, "For the food, there is no need to prepare anything else for him, just eat with you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky again, "It's getting late, I have to set off, this trip will take about a month, after the matter is finished, I will take your aunt to have a look."

When Lian Qi finally figured out who his aunt was and his expression changed drastically, Zhuge Xiao had already left on his horse.

※※※

"Brother Wan Xia!" Upon hearing that cute and sweet voice, Lian Qi knew that Lian Yu must have woken up and came to find him.

Sure enough, as soon as she turned around, Lian Qi saw her own Lian Yu leaping into Wan Xia's arms, and Wan Xia's face, neither sad nor happy, was also stained with a ray of sunshine in an instant.

"A Yao? Why are you at my house?" After rubbing enough in Wan Xia's arms, Lian Yu finally found Ah Yao who had been standing aside for a long time.

"Why can't I live?" Ah Yao folded his arms.

"Because this is my home... Ah, I know!" Lian Yu stretched out a finger, "Is it because you are disobedient, that beautiful uncle doesn't want you anymore?"

Zhuge Xiao just told Lian Qi his identity, as for whether Lian Qi should tell others, he didn't say, Lian Qi can't decide on his own.

So, in the eyes of Lian Yu at this time, Zhuge Xiao is the beauty uncle, and Ah Yao...

"You are so pitiful, but it doesn't matter, I am very generous, you can treat my elder brother as a beautiful uncle!"

"You have a good idea!" Ah Yao roared, "Don't try to take advantage of me in addressing me, I will never call you uncle!"

Lian Yu blinked, "I'm younger than you, you can't call me uncle!"

Ah Yao: ...

Lian Qi, who stood aside and watched all this happening, suddenly began to wonder if the decision to take Ah Yao in was the right one?

"What are you thinking?" Tang Wuyu hugged Lian Qi from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder.

"I always feel like I'm going to be crazy in the future," Lian Qi murmured, "Our family has too many children..."

Lian Rui can no longer be regarded as a child, the remaining Lian Ying, Lian Yu, Wan Xia, and now add a Yao, is it possible to have four children in one drama?

Tang Wuyu tilted his head and kissed the back of Lian Qi's left neck. There was a small birthmark-like thing there, but it was not the bright red it used to be, but a faint watermelon red.

This is the sign of a real man.

Tang Wuyu kissed the red mark, and put his right hand on Lian Qi's abdomen, "There will be more in the future."
