last time

Chapter 92
Zhuo Ran licked the corners of her lips and said, "You don't have to worry about my meeting with Wen Rongxi. Today I entered the palace, and Concubine Yan Gui promised me to let me enter the embroidery workshop of Yan's family to help make up for their lost money."

"Can Xiaqiu still settle accounts?" Li Yanchuan curled the corners of his lips.

Zhuo Ran sternly said: "Chi Yue, the enemy is dark and we are clear. At this time, one more road is one more opportunity. Besides, we don't hold anything in our hands, so we can only lose if we fight openly or secretly. The Yan family has a huge power, and it is an easy road to follow." .”

Li Xunchuan thought for a while and said, "It makes sense. I didn't have time to think about your proposal before, but after what happened later, I understood what you really meant."

There was indeed no movement from Marquis Daxi, and Luzhou's behavior looked too normal in the eyes of others. How could father and son who hadn't seen each other for most of their lives think of any kind of affection? I forgot who the father who gave birth to him and raised him was.

Zhuo Ran's proposal seemed to have no effect on the surface, but he secretly found out the current situation in Luzhou.Whether or not Luzhou will give money is a matter of one sentence, and if a word is passed into Gao, it will not be delayed for so long, unless...

"Something must have happened in Luzhou, otherwise there will be no news at all. In a few days, His Majesty may have to ask the person in charge." Li Yanchuan nodded, paused for a moment, and said: "Speaking of which, If you enter the embroidery workshop, you have to be more careful, after all, there are too many people, so it's not very safe."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "I will be careful. Yan's embroidery shop has almost monopolized the business of the entire Dayu. We can also learn a lot of news through the business line. Maybe we haven't figured it out all the time, and everything will come to light. "

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "We Xiaqiu really think about the bright side of everything."

Zhuo Ran rubbed her fingertips on the place where she had bitten her skin, and said softly: "Second Master, Da Xihou of Luzhou is also a character, if it is not delayed by other things this time, and the news from Luzhou cannot be transmitted, then there is only one a possibility."

"Wolf ambition." Li Xunchuan said.

Zhuo Ran raised an eyebrow and said with a smile: "But it's still early, it will take a long time, whether it's a mule or a horse, it will always show its true colors."

Li Xunchuan raised his hand and straightened Zhuo Ran's skirt, and said: "If he is really in trouble, we Xiaqiu will help him in a timely manner. If there is nothing wrong, knowing that there is such a talented person in Gaodu A beautiful woman who has both skills is not easy to live with."

Zhuo Ran tilted her head and said, "Why does Second Master's words sound wrong?"

"It's just jealousy." Li Yanchuan gently wiped the sweat from Zhuo Ran's temples, smiled, and said, "You're going to the embroidery workshop to watch the receipts and payments of the business line, you will definitely be busier than in the Imperial College, remember to take care of yourself .”

Zhuo Ran lowered her eyes and said, "Is your leg numb?"

Li Xunchuan shook her with a smile, and said, "Take it lightly, it won't numb."

"It's getting late, let's go to the painting boat and have a look." Zhuo Ran leaned closer to hug him, and said softly: "Those girls don't get close, the smell of powder is choking."

Li Xunchuan couldn't take it anymore, he hugged Zhuo Ran's back neck and kissed him until he died. He bit the word "Xiaqiu", which sounded wet and vague. Zhuo Ran took advantage of his breath for a while, and Li Xunchuan smiled wickedly. , stretched out his hand to hold the bend of her leg and stood up directly, Zhuo Ran subconsciously grasped Li Yanchuan's shoulder tightly, and was kissed by Li Yanchuan with his head raised, and he just hugged her and lay down on the couch.

"Go to sleep." Li Yanchuan propped up his arms, smiled in a low voice, and said, "I will remember everything you said."

Zhuo Ran nodded slightly, Li Yuchuan took off her shoes, wrapped her in a quilt, and went out.

"Governor, go slowly!" Chang Yinyu saw Li Yanchuan stepping on his horse, shook his hand, and said, "Don't come next time!"

Li Xunchuan glared at him, then reined in the reins, and Zhushi ran towards the night.

***
Wu Yue and Wu Lianyi didn't know what they were doing in the wing room, and when Li Xunchuan came back, Xiyu was still waiting outside.

"Master is back." Xi Yu said in a low voice, "Marquis Wu called his attendants out on the way, and got the receipts from Hua Lou, and he is still angry at the moment."

"Is it so serious? He doesn't care how Wu Xiuting messes around outside, but it's really different with Wu Lianyi." Li Yuchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, and said, "I've seen everything I should have seen at the banquet just now. I'll go out for a while. , should have drunk a lot of people."

Xiyu smiled and said: "The drunk adults are all arranged to rest, and they can leave on their own until dawn."

Li Xunchuan walked towards the banquet, he raised his hand and touched the place where Zhuo Ran had bitten him, sighing how cruel Xiaqiu's mouth was.Xiyu followed behind and didn't hear what Li Xunchuan said. He opened his mouth to ask, but he heard someone calling Li Xunchuan.

Xi Yu turned his head and saw that it was Marquis Wu's attendant. He looked hurriedly and said, "Governor, my Lord Hou fainted from a sudden, so I will take him back here."

"Take it back?" Li Yuchuan frowned, and said, "Is there enough time to take it back? Go find the doctor and settle your Lord Hou."

"Yes." The servant ran out.

Li Xunchuan was amused, his master Hou fainted, and the first reaction of the servants was not to find a doctor for him, but to take him home. How could this family be so unexpected.

"The same goes for Wu Lianyi, doesn't he know that he should ask for a doctor first?" Xi Yu followed Li Xunchuan to Wuhou's wing, and said, "By the way, master, when you didn't come, Mr. He wanted to make a fuss to go back, and his subordinates sent someone to rescue him." He sent off with Wang Shangshu."

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "They are free to come and go as they please. Are the pine nuts still in the mansion?"

"Didn't the master want him to stay in the mansion and practice calligraphy?" Xi Yu smiled and said, "Gu Zhao should go back now, and will keep an eye on him. Master, don't worry."

Li Xunchuan pulled his lips and smiled, and said, "Do you think that kid will listen to Gu Zhao? Forget it, let him play, and go back later to get him some food."

Xiyu knocked on the door and said in a low voice, "Yes."

Wu Lianyi was trained terribly, it really looked like he had been wronged a lot, Wu Yue did not attack lightly, his eyes were still bruised, looking at Li Yuchuan was pitiful enough.

"Governor..." Wu Lianyi leaned over to salute.

Li Xunchuan looked at Wu Yue who was lying on the couch, and said softly: "There is no need to be too polite. The doctor will come soon, Master Wu, don't worry."

Wu Yue was really pissed off, the doctor said a lot, the attendants wanted to make a list, Wu Lianyi took a few steps back consciously, until Li Xunchuan said not to disturb Marquis Wu to rest and asked him to come out, then he moved with difficulty.

Li Xunchuan brewed a cup of tea and handed it to Wu Lianyi, saying: "These things have nothing to do with Lord Wu, just make it clear to Marquis Wu, why Lord Wu still doesn't seem very relieved."

Wu Lianyi took the teacup with both hands, and said softly: "The governor is laughing."

"Master Wu," Li Xunchuan saw that Wu Lianyi didn't even bother to explain, and he became more determined about what he had imagined before. This matter has something to do with Wu Lianyi in all likelihood, but there are people behind the scenes that he can't confess. This matter was dug out There will be more involved, so Wu Lianyi can only hide it. He is unwilling to say that Li Yuchuan may not be able to ask anything. He turned his words at a critical juncture and said: "I have always had a question. Master Wu has never wanted to fight for promotion. Job, what is it for?"

Wu Lianyi sighed for a long time, and said: "Actually, there is no reason. The governor also knows my situation, so he has no choice but to enter Yan's house. Only this small official can make me feel more comfortable. Besides, no one disturbs me, so I can be clean."

Li Xunchuan said: "Master Wu is really different from other people. If it were someone else, he would definitely use his status as the eldest son to compete with others desperately."

"The Wu family is different from other families." Wu Lianyi smiled helplessly, closed his eyes, and said, "Who doesn't want the support of the family, who doesn't want high-ranking officials and rich salary to shine on the lintel, but there's nothing to say about this matter, it's over. So far, it’s fate.”

However, Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "Why is Master Wu so self-deprecating? You have always been fair and honest. This time, someone must have framed you. If you investigate more clues, you might be able to clear Master Wu of his innocence."

"Everything doesn't have to have a result." Wu Lianyi raised his eyes, looked into Li Yuchuan's eyes, and said, "Sometimes, looking at flowers in the fog is a special pleasure."

"But this matter is related to the reputation of the adults." Li Xunchuan stared at Wu Lianyi, and said softly: "To establish morality, meritorious service, and fame in the world is the principle taught by the master of the private school to six-year-old children. Why is Master Wu so negative?"

Wu Lianyi raised his neck and drank the tea, he raised his shoulders indifferently, and sighed: "How to say this matter, it has nothing to do with the governor, don't look for anything on me, the governor is careful It’s a waste of water.”

"I do things in my own way." Li Yuchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Nowadays, the situation is beyond the control of the adults themselves. If you splash the dirty water in the sky, you can hit the adults. Besides, prostitution Whether the matter is big or small, Mr. Wu is not alone with no worries, if something is really found out, Mr. Wu can handle it?"

At this point, Wu Lianyi seemed to know Li Yunchuan's purpose.He was unusually calm, and said: "The governor has made such a big circle with me, it's a waste of time, why don't you tell me what exactly you want to ask?"

Li Xunchuan spread his long legs and said, "You are a sensible person. Master Wu, I just want to know who you are protecting if you don't resist or defend yourself?"

Wu Lianyi smiled and said, "Didn't the governor see the redemption deed just now?"

Li Yunchuan thought about it for a while, and the prostitute's name was written on the contract of sale, which was Yan Zhi.Why is this name so familiar?It seems like I heard it somewhere.

Seeing the change in his expression, Wu Lianyi snorted softly, and said, "Your Excellency has a good idea. Yan Zhi is indeed not mine, and the pot of dirty water was not poured on me in the first place. Yan Zhi is the top card of Huanyan Pavilion, so the Governor must I've seen it too."

Indeed.Li Xunchuan finally remembered that four years ago when he and Ye Bai got drunk and had fun, they indulged in the Huanlong Pavilion that night. It seemed that when they fought with Yan Chengxuan, it was the old bustard and this Yanzhi who persuaded the fight.But after Ye Baiqi left the capital, he never went to the Huanyan Pavilion again. After all these years, he almost forgot.

"I'm not familiar with you." Li Yuchuan said, "Since she is the top card, the Huanlong Pavilion will not send her out easily. Mr. Wu has a good plan."

Wu Lianyi shook his head and said: "The governor is too worried, Yan Zhi and I don't know each other, it's just a meeting, I didn't say anything, I just saw the redemption deed before I remembered it was hers .”

"The person defended by Master Wu has something to do with Rouge?" Li Yuchuan frowned, and said, "It seems that Master Wu is a little unwilling. You didn't get along with this matter, did you?"

Naturally, there is no gas.When Wu Yue beat him violently, the panic and bewilderment were not feigned, Wu Lianyi sighed and said, "That's all I have, Your Excellency Governor."

"You still refuse to say who that person is?" Li Yuchuan said.

Wu Lianyi shook his head and said, "I am willing to tell the governor all these things today, but forgive me for the rest. I have no comment. Giving someone a handle is such an uncomfortable feeling."

"So it's better to follow the vine." Li Yanchuan smiled and said, "I can think of people who often enter the flower building, except for Yan Ershao, and that is Lingdi."

"Wu Xiuting?" Wu Lianyi laughed loudly, and said: "The governor is you kidding, he hangs out with Peng Ge all day, how can he have the time to play with women, besides, if he goes, my father will not let him go."

Li Xunchuan couldn't help thinking of what Zhuo Ran had mentioned to him, seeing Wu Xiuting and Yan Chengxuan eating wine together in Wuhualou that day, it was really Wu Xiuting's fate, Wuhou didn't trouble him, and it was really Gu Nian's father and son. in love.

"Then why does the Governor want to investigate these things?" Wu Lianyi smiled and said, "Why, could it be that the Governor was desperate and found someone who could save the Governor from the fire?"

Li Xunchuan denied it. He said, "I'm not as good as Mr. Wu thought. I've been too free recently. Let's have some fun."

Wu Lianyi lowered his tone and said softly: "Didn't His Majesty say at the banquet that day that he wanted the governor to go to Luzhou to check it out? The governor is really free now, so your majesty hasn't issued an edict yet."

"You listen to all directions." Li Yanchuan paused, he almost forgot about it, Chu Shiyu gave him such an order at the banquet that day, the key point is that he mentioned the marriage with Ji Yuyan, this matter is extremely important Chu Shiyu thought of it again and again, but it was not something he could solve with a few words.

Wu Lianyi is a talent, although his official position is small, judging from this, he must know everything about Gaoduli better than Li Xunchuan, and he is a friend worth making.It's just that if he wants to gain this person's trust, it may take some effort. He is willing to say so much today, mostly because of the face Li Yuchuan gave him.Now that the love is done enough, everything is gone, Wu Lianyi filled Li Yanchuan's teacup with water, and sat opposite Li Yanchuan, waiting for his next sentence.

"Lord Wu, it's dawn."

At dawn, this matter will spread from Bihu to every corner of Gaodu, how Wu Lianyi will solve it, Li Yuchuan has to take a good look.

He lightly lighted the teacup with his fingertips, and looked at Wu Lianyi with a slight smile of happiness in the morning light.
