Chapter 8

What a big tone!

The sound of the piano upstairs had stopped abruptly. Obviously, Wei Rou heard the movement downstairs for a while. After a while, a thin scholar in her forties walked downstairs down from the building and came to Hong Qifa. She looked up and down, then glanced at the group of men who were humming by me, and said contemptuously: Huangkou's child thought he could make some skills in the side, but he didn't know the sky and the earth were thick, and he didn't even look at what this place was?!

The scholar snorted coldly: Under the imperial city, there are dragons and tigers hidden, I want to see how you can make Tongda so as to be wiped out!

Then you get out of here and show me! I said sternly, staring at Hong Qifa, and my mind turned around. Just by having Hong Qifa and Hebrew Quan in a good relationship, I can make him unable to turn over forever. But if Hebrew Quan was not caught, it is not appropriate to alert the enemy.

When Hong Qifa saw him, he seemed to have seen a savior. He thought he was Hong's brother-in-law, Liao Xi, commander of the Xicheng Military Commander. However, with Chen Xiyi Jingwei as the backing, I had not taken it seriously, but had thought of the idea in my mind. I strode forward and, in the surprised eyes of everyone, knocked Hong Qifa to the ground with one palm, and sneered: Tongda Chexing not only bullies the market, but also robs the imperial tax and silver. He is not destroyed. Where is the law of heaven?!

Bold! The scholar was so angry that he shouted: Slandering the gentry, and he was also slandering the official. What is your name?

I will not change my name or change my surname. That's Li Tong! I thought to myself, since I didn't want to let Hong Qifa go, Liao Xi was already devastated, so I came to him and sneered: Lord Liao, I advise you to go back and wipe your shit clean, otherwise I will regret it in the future, don't blame me for not telling you Ah!

After saying that, he laughed and pushed Liao Xi, who was surprised, to the side, raised his head and stepped onto the stairs.

As soon as I climbed to the second floor, I saw Wei Rou standing in the corner of the wall with her zither. Although her slender figure still had a faint sense of excellence, she looked so lonely.

A pair of blood-covered eyes, slightly swollen, looked at me timidly, and was confused and pitiful. The charm of the former Smiling and Proud Wanderer was gone.

Junior sister!

My heart couldn't help but feel sad, and even my voice trembled slightly. What happened to this strong girl? How did she seem to have completely lost her fighting spirit! Could it be that... was it because of the sudden encounter in Baihualou that made her feel too sad?

As if infected by my affectionate call, Wei Rou's eyes suddenly covered with a layer of fog. She loosened her arms and fell to the ground with a thud. Her thin shoulders couldn't help but thrust

Suddenly, she actually did something I could never have imagined and ran away. She rushed into my arms like a tired bird that threw herself into the forest. She hugged my waist desperately, and burst into tears with a loud cry.

Senior brother, master...I don't want me anymore

Your master... don't...you? My brain didn't turn around for a while, and it took a while to understand the true meaning of this sentence

Your master doesn't want you anymore?! An uncontrollable ecstasy filled my heart. I felt dizzy happiness. Lu Lingxi actually drove Wei Rou out? Then Wei Rou is no longer a disciple of Yinhu?! Isn't the master's will have nothing to do with her?!

Great! It's so great!

For a moment, I was a little incoherent, but fortunately, Wei Rou was more excited than me. She seemed to have not heard my murmurs at all, just leaned on my chest and sobbed.

Looking at the panicked and helpless girl in my arms, my joy turned into full of pity. A strong and powerful arm wrapped around her slender waist, hugged her tightly in her arms, and gently stroked her back with the other hand, and said affectionately and firmly: Arou, don’t be afraid, your master doesn’t want you, and I want you!

uh-huh!

A heavy cough woke me up from my ecstasy, and then I could see clearly the scenery in the restaurant

In the huge restaurant, there was only a large round table near the window facing the street. There were two men and eight women sitting around. The two old men were about age, both of whom were fifty years old. They were tall and clear in their main seat, with a very arrogant expression. They just looked down and drank tea, but they didn't look at me very much. It seemed that everything that happened in front of them had nothing to do with him, but there was a cold light flash between their eyes opening and closing, which was extremely sharp.

The eight women who were accompanying the drinks were all very beautiful, and there were two around him, both of them were thirteen or fourteen years old. Thinking that Liao Xi was a sixth-ranked man, this old man should be a minister with a status in the capital, I couldn't help but look at him twice.

The old man with a white face and no beard coughed again, and his slightly swollen phoenix eyes looked at me softly. Obviously, the cough he had just made was also made by him.

If you are worried about being clumsy in your later years, you will offend them too much. The old man must forgive you!

I was in a good mood and naturally became polite. When Wei Rou heard the word "Zhujing", her body trembled slightly, but she did not object. However, the heartbeat from my chest and abdomen suddenly became a few points faster.

She is your wife?!

Almost everyone in the room exclaimed, and the two old men couldn't help but look at each other. Even the six beautiful dancers standing in the middle of the hall were at a loss, and they couldn't help but believe Lu Xin. This girl who is in a humble business and cannot be more ordinary is the woman of me, a romantic and rich young man!

You are Lu Xin? Ning Xin approached Wei Rou, looking incredible

She didn't hide her voice, and Wei Rou let her turn her face, tears were clear, and her face was naturally worse. Ning Xin stared at her for a long time, and couldn't figure it out, and said to herself: Only these eyes can be called a sensation, and there is no other place to be extraordinary. That guy has a very high vision, why can't he let you go?

I almost rushed up and kissed Ning Xin. Her unintentional words were more powerful than what I said ten thousand words

Wei Rou's eyes indeed flashed with joy, but she saw Ning Xin's appearance clearly. The arms around my tiger's waist suddenly tightened, as if she was afraid that Ning Xin would snatch me away. Her thin voice came from her ears.

who is she?

Listening to Wei Rou's voice was filled with a strong jealousy, I was so excited that I almost smiled to the sky.

In fact, although I was just expressing my feelings just now, Wei Rou did not refute and expressed her thoughts. However, I was worried about gains and losses and could not fully believe everything in front of me. However, when I heard her jealous of another woman for me, I had no doubts in my heart. I wanted to speak, but I heard a burst of rapid footsteps coming from the stairs, and then I heard Liao Xi shouting: Boy...

Well! The old man didn't need to cough three times and interrupted Liao Xi and said: Lord Liao, this is a misunderstanding. Mr. Li is eager to find his wife, and he is inevitably anxious when doing things. Just forgive him!

Listening to his feminine voice, I suddenly remembered that he was the old man who was treating me next to me in Baihua Building that night. In this way, the tall old man was the guest that night. He was proficient in music and admired Wei Rou's piano skills. Among the few people present, he would only ask Wei Rou to get out and play the piano.

But you didn't hear it. This kid is very rampant! I want to see what methods he has to destroy Lao Hong's enlightenment! Liao Xi pointed at me and said angrily

That must be the young master's words! The old man smiled at me and said, obviously he wanted to be a peacemaker.

Although the old man looked feminine and didn't look so pleasing to the eye, I still liked him a little. I was unreasonable and he could handle it calmly. I remembered that Ning Xin had an incident that night and the two of them didn't care about it. It seemed that they were reasonable people.

If I hadn't been too full just now, I was in a good mood and heard him handing me the steps, I would have borrowed a donkey and stopped making peace.

Angry words? This kid is so vicious! Although Liao Xi was dissatisfied, his tone was slightly lowered twice: Lao Hong is flexible and righteous, and his business is getting bigger and bigger. Some people are jealous and spread rumors every now and then. This kid may not be sure that any opponent invited him to make trouble.

He paused, looked at me, and then said: Look at his outfit, silk and satin, and the gems on his waist knife are worth thousands of taels of silver. Such a rich man, his wife is actually making a living in the prostitute. Who believes that?!

As he said that, he turned to the old man Gao and said: Gong Ming, I have ordered my subordinates to come to Yipinlou and prepare to take this arrogant boy back to the Bingma Si and interrogate him carefully to see if he has any behind-the-scenes instructions. Look...

The tall old man Ming Gong's eyes were on me, Wei Rou and Ning Xin were wandering for a moment, and then he said: The zither is the voice of the heart, Miss Lu's piano is noble and has its own character. Song Fu, you don't have to doubt this Mr. Li... His eyes fell on me: Which yamen do you work in, the Military and Ma Si or Shuntian Mansion?

The Bingma Si didn't have such a person! Liao Xi was stunned, looked at me carefully, and said suspiciously: This kid has a bit of official flavor... Well? He seems to be a fellow traveler. Are you really from Shuntian Mansion? But I have never seen you in Lord Guo...

The Five City Military and Horses Office is in charge of arresting thieves, and I am indeed walking with me. After doing this journey for a long time, I naturally have a special momentum. Not only are the thieves discouraged, but they are also easy to distinguish between them. Liao Xijin has been lustful for a long time. Once I have tried my best, I have not covered it up, so I can naturally hide it from his eyes. However, the Ming Gong could still roughly see my identity, which was beyond my expectations.

He is the captain from Nanjing, of course you can't see him in Shuntian Mansion! Ning Xin said indifferently on the side

Nanjing? Headmaster? Liao Xi was so brave when he heard this. He laughed instead of angry. He said three good words in a row and said: A small headmaster is so arrogant. Nanjing is really talented! Ming Gong, their hands are so long! Isn’t it going to be awesome if you don’t give them some colors?

I glared at Ning Xin fiercely, but heard Ming Gong say in a deep voice: Song Fu's words are bad! Eating the king's fortune and loyalty to the king are the duty of the ministers. When encountering trouble, how can you shirk the truth and ignore it? How can you tell the difference between the official position? It is very rare for this Chief Li to dare to take responsibility!

Hearing him unexpectedly say these righteous words, Ning Xin and I were stunned for a moment, Liao Xi blushed, but he didn't dare to refute, and said stammeringly twice. Yes, he lowered his head and drank a dull wine. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at me fiercely. Only the old man without need was calm, as if Ming Gong's words were already within his expectations.

What the lord said is very true! I was anxious to go back and tell Wei Rou about my thoughts, but I have no intention of fighting with him at the moment. I followed the flow of the river: The so-called clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. If Hong Qifa and Tongda do not have any corruption or abuse of power, I, Li Tong, will personally come to my door to take the blame for the thorns and apologize.

Amid Liao Xi's scolding of his belated subordinates, I took Wei Rou and Ning Xin away. Although there were stalkers behind his butt at the beginning, Ning Xin, the worst martial arts among the three, also had a considerable foundation. After going around in circles, I quickly threw off her tail.

It seemed as if I wanted to entrust everything in the future to me. Wei Rou let me hug her and move forward, but there was a trace of uneasiness occasionally flashing in her eyes, and even the look of Ning Xin looked at her faintly hostile.

I don't know why Yinhu destroyed the Great Wall and drove Wei Rou out of the door, but I know that this sudden blow must have shattered all the ideals and beliefs in her heart, and her self-confidence was even more severely damaged, just like the flawless ones at the time

With Yinhu's status, who can still accept her blatantly? In her heart, there is probably only the one who is both good and evil, who has never respected Yinhu and has had several close contacts with her, can only rely on me!

I really should thank Lu Lingxi very much. She actually gave me such a big gift...

When we arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion, Wei Rou's steps suddenly slowed down. I immediately noticed the tension and resistance in her heart, and comforted her softly: Three days, we only stayed here for three days. She finally calmed down, but Ning Xin, who was beside her, snorted coldly.

As soon as he entered Jiang's mansion, the housekeeper had been waiting in the concierge and had seen Ning Xin first, so he told me that Chong Yao and Jiang Yunzhu had been waiting for me in the study room for a long time.

Hearing the butler calling Princess Ning Xin, Wei Rou's expression suddenly changed, and a familiar and inviolable aura suddenly appeared on her, just as if the banished immortal who used to be confident and calmly looked down on the world suddenly came back to life. Ning Xin suddenly screamed in surprise: Hey? It's so strange, how come this feeling... Why do you look like a master?

But I sighed in my heart. Wei Rou's excessive reaction can only show her strong inferiority complex, and the word inferiority complex should have no chance of being with this proud daughter in her life!

Just as I was about to say to Ning Xin, you think of her as a master, but I remembered that she did not respect her master Lian Qingni very much. When she said that, I swallowed it back. First, she smiled and patted Wei Rou on the shoulder, signaling her not to care too much about Ning Xin's identity, and then glared at Ning Xin and said: Don't compare your master with my wife! Also, my wife is used to being served by someone. Please lend you a maid for three days. After that, she ignored Ning Xin, who was stunned and walked towards the study with the butler.

When he saw Zhu and Jiang, he realized that in the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhu had already got all the remaining land in Chenlizi Hutong. He was impatient and couldn't wait to hear my next plan.

Although I was anxious, I had to say one by one. Without saying a few words, Chong Yao, who was extremely smart, realized that I had something to do.

What, your wife is here? Why didn’t you say it earlier! Chong Yao complained and asked again: I heard that you have many wives and concubines in your room, but I don’t know which one is here?

I first accused Jiang Yunzhu of guilt and said that I had brought my family to the Hou's Mansion without his permission.

Jiang Yunzhu didn't care at all, but was interested in how to deal with many wives and concubines. He repeatedly asked me what secrets he had. I said a few simple words, which made him feel itchy. I still told him that Lu Xin had not passed the door yet.

Nephew, you have to stay here for a few more days so that I can discuss with you

Jiang Yunzhu was quite sympathetic and held back her curiosity and let me leave, but what is the intention of staying a guest is attentive. I responded vaguely, and my thoughts had already flown to Wei Rou.
