key to come

"Well, the two of you chat first, I will go to Li Dashi's place, and ask him to go with him tomorrow."

Shen Lang stood up and said to the two, "Don't fight."

"Mr. Shen, why don't you take him with you." Gongsun Lin got up quickly, with a look of wanting to grab Shen Lang's hand but dared not: "Senior Sister Luo, Sister Luo will definitely bully him."

"This..." Shen Lang hesitated.

"Junior Sister Gongsun." Luo Xi changed his face instantly, into a smiling one.

Obviously, she wanted to repay him with what he said.

Both of them knew this routine, but Luo Xi would only use it in times of crisis, while Gongsun Lin had already regarded this behavior as instinct.

"Junior Sister Gongsun, why would people bully you?" Luo Xi took a step forward and grabbed Gongsun Lin's hand, her big eyes shining brightly: "You are my favorite little junior sister, we are both five spirits and Xuantong, We should help each other and love each other."

"Aren't I afraid that you will be bullied after you go out, because I gained a great reputation in the Jianghu?"

"Also, it's not right to tell the elders about some minor conflicts within the Yin Yang family. They just don't want you to rely too much on the elders, and they just want you to have more ability to deal with problems on your own, so that you won't suffer when you go out for a living. ah."

Luo Xi's eyes were fixed on Shen Lang's body, her bright eyes seemed to be able to speak: "She doesn't understand my mind, don't you understand?"

After Luo Xi finished speaking, she gently grabbed Shen Lang's big hand and placed it on her chest.

"He is very conscientious." Luo Xi's eyes welled up with tears: "How could you misunderstand that I would bully my favorite junior sister?"

"I always thought that my little brother was the one who knew people best. People would rely on you to do whatever you did. Even if you bullied them, they would let you bully them."

"But, but, but I just played a few small jokes with my junior sister before, and you are so suspicious of him..."

pat.

When Luo Xi's last word fell into Shen Lang's ear, a drop of her tear just fell on Shen Lang's hand, and Shen Lang's heart was pulled hard.

"I'm going out first, you guys continue." Shen Lang's hand was clearly on Luo Xi's high ground, but now he didn't have the slightest desire, he just felt that he was too sorry for Luo Xi.

He withdrew his hand and hurriedly fled the horrible room.

After Shen Lang left, Luo Xi's face changed in a second. She sat down on the stool casually, raised her legs, and raised her chin: "Come on, let's continue, who won't."

"Senior Sister Luo, you have misunderstood Junior Sister..."

Gongsun Lin couldn't help trembling when he saw that Luo Xi had easily resolved his tricks.

Now it's just the two of us in the room, if she beats me up... I really can't beat it.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Luo Xi didn't bother to talk to her, she leaned her arms on the table and rested her head on her fist.

"He is just carrying out the mission of Master Dongjun."

"Your task is to seduce him? Do you know that he won't be polite, if he really broke you, what are you going to practice in the future?" Luo Xi had a strange expression on her face. Has this girl never seen the dangers of the world?

It's impossible for Shen Lang not to eat anything that comes to his mouth.

"No, no, I'm just going to perform tomorrow, so I'll study here..."

"Go, what do you want to learn, I'll teach you, don't pester you here."

"You do not understand."

"I beat you, believe it or not?"

"It's all on the orders of the senior sister."

…………

After Shen Lang left the inn, he went straight to the Li Mansion.

He had already handed over the greeting card before, and found that Li Zikang was actually greeting him at the door this time.

Li Zikang is an old man who looks to be around 60 or [-] years old, with a good figure, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a kind face.

"Junior brother, here we come."

According to Confucian seniority, Shen Lang is indeed his junior.

"Senior Brother Li." Shen Lang cupped his hands at him: "How dare you bother Senior Brother Li to greet you at the door in person? Ashamed."

"Junior brother is already a great Zhou Shixian at a young age, and my brother admires him very much. Come, come in and talk."

After Li Zikang finished speaking, he welcomed Shen Lang in.

His family is not big, only [-]% bigger than Shen Lang's.

You know, Shen Lang lives in the inner city of Chang'an, and he can only be said to be in a larger county.

He brought Shen Lang to the living room, and said to Shen Lang: "Junior Brother, my granddaughter has always admired Junior Brother, and she never thought that she would be able to see her true face one day."

"It's all trivial." Shen Lang waved his hand: "Brother Li, do you know what I'm here for?"

"Alas... Junior brother, you are too public. If you are short of money, you can make more gadgets. Why do you want to make money with such a big fanfare?" Li Zikang looked good for Shen Lang: "I'm afraid, this matter Did His Majesty ask you to do it?"

When he said the last sentence, he lowered his voice.

I have to say that this Li Zikang is really powerful. He first builds relationships and then says things that only those close to him can say.

In fact, even a smart person would not be sure whether it was His Majesty's intention or Shen Lang himself being too greedy about Shen Lang's fanfare to make money.

Even the most wise king has moments of fainting, and there can be no perfect person in this world.

There were quite a few officials who made money like this when the first emperor was alive, and that was also when the Great Zhou was at its darkest.

The first emperor was obsessed with cultivating immortals, Jin Yiwei and officials were very chaotic, and there were many officials like Shen Lang.

Li Zikang was not sure, whether Shen Lang relied on his favor or something else.

How much he charged, no one outside knows.

"It's just that I want to practice myself." Shen Lang smiled wryly: "I have practiced His Royal Highness Langya's kung fu, and my brother may not understand it. This kung fu costs a lot of money. I'm afraid I'll be rich if I get to the first rank."

"Junior brother, you...are confused." Li Zikang slapped his thigh: "I am a Confucian scholar, and I set up my heart for the world and my life for the people. How can I do this?"

"Listen to senior brother, return the money back."

"Not yet." Shen Lang shook his head resolutely: "Brother, I have something to do with you today."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Zikang looked at Shen Lang suspiciously, then frowned: "I'm a diligent official, but I don't have any money for you."

"No, it's not asking for money, but I want to take you to a show tomorrow."

Chapter 315

"Watching a play?" Li Zikang raised his eyebrows: "Junior Brother means..."

"A business of the Yin Yang family, there will be outstanding disciples performing on stage." Shen Lang said: "It's free."

"Oh, you're talking about the ring." Li Zikang was stunned, and said with a smile: "I'm not interested in these people who fight and kill. Let them pay attention when the time comes, so as not to see blood."

"It's not the ring, it's going up to dance, sword dance, etc." Shen Lang said.

"It's quite new." Li Zikang nodded, "Since junior brother has such a taste, it's okay for me to take a look with junior brother."

Shen Lang took a deep breath and saved a file first.

"Senior Brother, there is a human trafficking incident here, I wonder if Senior Brother knows about it?"

Shen Lang opened the keyboard.

【Shen Lang tested Li Zikang】

"Human trafficking?" Li Zikang frowned slightly: "How could such a thing happen? Are you talking about the kind who sell their daughters to brothels?"

"No." Shen Lang said: "It's a high official colluding with an organization to sell those exiled people, and occasionally do some bulk business, such as arresting some lonely people from other places and selling them. "

"I... don't know." Li Zikang's face darkened: "Where did the younger brother get the news? This kind of thing hurts peace, so it's better to check it out."

【Li Zikang is lying to Shen Lang】

Established.

【Li Zikang is one of the masterminds of this matter】

Established.

"A county magistrate was arrested, and what he said was that the root of this matter lies in this county." Shen Lang said seriously: "Senior brother has lived here for a long time, can you provide me with some help?"

"This kind of thing still needs to start with the local officials. Do you know what they are doing for human trafficking?" Li Zikang said.

"I don't know." Shen Lang shook his head: "I only know that there is such a thing, and I think there is a problem, so I want to check it out along the way."

"What about after finding out? Do you want to collect the money and settle down?" Li Zikang's face was black, and he looked good for Shen Lang: "It's not that senior brother said you, you should do things for the court well, and don't let your teacher treat you badly." expect."

"Tsk, it depends on how much you give." Shen Lang spread his hands and said, "If you give a lot, it's not like I can't turn a blind eye to this matter."

"You, you, you..." Li Zikang stood up, pointing at Shen Lang with trembling fingers: "You are so rotten!"

"Brother, I'm just talking, just sit and sit, this matter is too big, I can't say it here, I will find a way to contact the teacher tomorrow and let the teacher make a decision. I can turn a blind eye to Xiao Tan One eye, if I'm greedy too much, I can't sit idly by." Shen Lang got up quickly and supported Li Zikang.

"Hmph, I remember what you said!" Li Zikang frowned slightly.

Report to the teacher?

This Shen Lang is easy to deal with, but Grand Master Xiao is not easy to deal with.

"The contact information of the Confucian branch here will not be available until tomorrow. I will accompany you to watch the show tomorrow. I want to go with you. You can't lie to my uncle about this!" Li Zikang said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then thank you senior brother." Shen Lang cupped his hands.

"If you don't go at that time, I will tie you up too." Li Zikang continued: "Okay, it's getting late, I won't keep you for dinner. Thinking about what you have done, I feel sorry for the sages!"

"Okay, brother, calm down, I'm just a layman, there's no reason to get angry with me."

"You live in a posthouse?"

"Yes, I also want to live in Yamen. I don't think the people here welcome me very much, so forget it."

"Hmph, even if you have self-knowledge, if you can find your way back one day, then you can live in my house, and I will apologize to you one by one, or come to each door to explain."

"Brother, you can't just talk about me, you can also talk about them. If they are not greedy, can I catch so many handles?"

"That's the court's business, the bureau's business, it has nothing to do with you, you have to do your own business!"

"Brother, I am an imperial envoy..."

"Then you should collect their evidence and report it to the imperial court. You are not here to accept bribes, but to arrest two people at random!"

"Okay, brother, calm down, I will have a good talk with the teacher about this tomorrow..."

"Go, don't send!"

…………

When Shen Lang came out of Li Zikang's house, his smile gradually disappeared.

He knew that he had already scared the snake, but what he wanted was this effect, and he wanted to see how this person would take the trick.

Afterwards, Shen Lang assigned a task to Ji Yunhe, asking his bodyguards to pretend to be ordinary Jianghu people and go to various inns and taverns to spread information about tomorrow's performance.

His heart was very big, and he didn't go to Luo Xi and Gongsun Lin after the order, but took Ji Yunrong with him, and went out to find something to eat as before.

The two were walking on the street, Shen Lang said to Ji Yunrong: "Yun Rong, what do you think of this city?"

"Smaller than Chang'an, but more lively than Chang'an." Ji Yunrong pointed to a bicycle: "Huh? This is..."

"I invented the bicycle, isn't it amazing?"

Bicycles have not been issued in Chang'an yet, but some larger counties have begun to issue them.

The two counties that Shen Lang went to before were not big, and there were no bicycles, and the larger counties were the pilot sites for bicycles.

Although the roads in Chang'an are wide enough and suitable for bicycles, there are too many convoys coming and going in Chang'an. Ji Nanxian has been studying traffic control, otherwise there will be accidents if they are released directly.

In the eyes of this city, Shen Lang's bicycles are quite popular.

"Well, they are all ordinary people, why can they control their balance while riding?" Ji Yunrong asked in surprise.

"This principle..." Shen Lang thought for a while: "So, I'll take you to buy a bicycle, let's try it?"

"Okay!" Ji Yunrong's eyes lit up.

Shen Lang found a workshop of the Mo family, and bought a high-end bicycle instead of revealing his identity to bargain.

Under the improvement of Mohist, the bicycle has become more in line with the needs of the human body, especially the design that one person can sit in the back, which makes this bicycle unique.

"Sit here." Shen Lang patted the back.

"Me?" Ji Yunrong pointed at herself, stunned.
