"Come in, don't take other people's things randomly next time, you will have to pay back what you owe to others sooner or later." A gentle voice came from inside.The voice seemed to contain a hint of reproach and kindness.After hearing this, Luo Yu didn't wait for the people inside to continue talking, directly opened the door, and rushed in like flying.

Inside sat a middle-aged woman who was nearly forty years old, dressed in simple gray cloth, with her eyes closed, facing a Buddha statue in front of her, chanting something non-stop.Holding a string of rosary beads in her hand, she turned them very regularly. When she got closer, she could find that the hands of this middle-aged woman were covered with a thick layer of calluses, which showed that when she was young, she was a A hardworking and busy woman, the few faint wrinkles on her face and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes could not block her delicate and pleasant face.

Luo Yu quickly walked up to the middle-aged woman, held the lunch box in both hands, and said happily: "Mother, Fatty Zhang brought it to me because he wanted something from me. He is usually very stingy." At this time, the middle-aged The woman slowly opened her eyes, put down her rosary, and turned to look at Luo Yu lovingly: "Don't lie to your mother, your mother taught you etiquette since childhood. Although we are poor, we must live with integrity and not let others look down on you. It's done." After finishing speaking, he took the lunch box in Luo Yu's hand and said: "Mother has to go to Dong's house to do some laundry in the afternoon. You will be at home alone in the afternoon. Don't run around. Be careful that the people in Luo's house will bully you again. After reading for a long time, you are also tired, so you rest in the mother's room before leaving. After Luo Yu happily said "Okay", he quickly ran to a small room in the house, and laughed while running: "Mother's bed is the most comfortable, much better than mine. "The middle-aged woman stared at Luo Yu with affection. After listening to Luo Yu's words, a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. After Luo Yu entered the room, she slowly withdrew her eyes and continued to meditate. ...

Two days passed like this, and the mansion was still as peaceful as usual, even the sound of birds chirping was rare, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility here.There was an uproar outside the mansion, and a serious case of counterfeit bills occurred in the capital of Yuanjiang Kingdom—An Ding City, ranging from high-ranking executives and wealthy families to ordinary civilians. Thousands of people were deceived, worth about 1000 million taels of silver. cheated.

This incident shocked the government and the public, daring to commit crimes in front of the emperor's gate is simply a contempt for the imperial power. It is said that the emperor has sent the capital yamen to investigate the matter, and even sent out some palace guards, but it is said that the harvest is minimal. When the people from the yamen arrived, the trading place would have been empty.

Moreover, that group of people always covered their faces during the transaction, and no one had actually seen their faces, so the investigation of this case progressed slowly.Luo Yu doesn't know about all this outside, he is still quietly studying his "Go Tricks" alone, and is addicted to it. He is talented and has a memory far beyond ordinary people. The weird chess records in the book often only need a moment With kung fu, you can read and understand, and even draw inferences from one instance.It can only be said that his wisdom is extraordinary. For ordinary people, even if he is taught by hand, he may not be able to understand it.

At this moment, Luo Yu heard a hasty knock on the door, accompanied by Fatty Zhang's familiar voice. "God, come out soon, I'm here to bring you food again." Luo Yu got up and quickly opened the door. Before he could react, he saw a fat figure rushing in. Picking up the kettle on the table and pouring it vigorously, looking extremely thirsty, Luo Yu stared at Fatty Zhang's sweaty face and said, "Fatty, what have you done? It's like burning your butt. Let me be clear first, if you still cause trouble outside like last time and come to my place to take refuge, don't even think about it." Hearing what Luo Yu said, Fatty Zhang, who was drinking water, almost spit out , but then swallowed it again, his face was flushed, he couldn't stop coughing, and said with a sigh of relief: "Fart, what do you think of me, besides, brother, I really caused some trouble, and ran to you to take refuge It should be! But this time I thank you for the fake ticket last time. My dad followed your method, but the boss of the bank accepted the fake ticket. He happened to listen to me again. He didn’t buy much after what he said. I was talking about him just now, so I probably wouldn’t buy it at all.” Zhang Qi complained.

"Oh, it's true. In fact, as long as you don't be greedy for those cheap things and do things in a down-to-earth manner, you won't be cheated. My mother taught me these things." Luo Yu said as he picked up the cake in the lunch box and ate it. stand up.

"Hey, dog, you kid is reasoning with me, that's farting on pigs, if I understood it, I would have gone to study a long time ago, but this time I really thank you, oh, there is one more thing, this meal This is probably the last meal I will treat you to. Tomorrow, my father will send me to a big gang in Guanshan City—the Qinglong Gang to learn art. By then, I will be a hero when I come out, haha! Fighting with swords, killing people with wine, being free and easy, that was my dream since I was a child, and I will not be here anymore. You have to be careful in Luofu, if anyone dares to bully you, after I come back from my studies, you tell me, and I will help you. You beat him." After speaking, he patted Luo Yu's shoulder twice heavily, with a little bit of reluctance in his eyes.

"You can study at ease, I will take care of myself." Luo Yu felt a little sad after hearing this, but still smiled.It seemed that he was afraid that Fatty Zhang would see the hidden reluctance in his heart.However, both of them were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and this mood just passed by, and they began to play around in the room. a color.

Time passed quickly, and when Fatty Zhang left, it was already slightly dark.After Luo Yu sent Fatty Zhang out of the courtyard, he rested in his room.In the middle of the night, there was a rush of footsteps in the silent Luo Mansion, four or five guards in black with knives, they were the guards surnamed Wang who were holding gold silk gloves last time, and they were escorting the The shopkeeper Fang of Tongbao Bank came towards Luofu. At this time, the shopkeeper Fang had several bruises on his face and a wound caused by a large knife wound on his shoulder. Having been severely beaten, he walked a little unsteadily, his eyes were full of ashes, and he was full of despair.

After quietly entering Luo's mansion, several people quickly passed through the forest courtyard, without knocking on the door, they escorted them directly to Luo Feng's room.

At this moment, there are two people waiting there, one of them is Luo Feng, sipping a cup of tea slowly, with no expression on his face, and the other is the senior manager, Luo Feng is still wearing a gold rim The gorgeous brocade robe, while the senior manager stood beside him respectfully with his hands tied.

After entering, the guard surnamed Wang clasped his fists at Luo Feng and said: "Master, the villain has already brought the person you want." Luo Feng responded lightly, and immediately stared at the shopkeeper Fang with cold eyes and said : "Brother Fang, why is he leaving in such a hurry, without notifying my younger brother, so that my younger brother can send you off, but fortunately, I sent someone outside the city to wait for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, the shopkeeper Fang knelt down on his knees, and begged with a regretful expression: "Master Luo, I don't know what to do, I beg Master Luo to let the villain go. I didn't betray you, but recently The government is investigating closely, I want to go back to my hometown to avoid the limelight, I beg Lord Luo for mercy." After speaking, he kowtowed to Luo Feng non-stop.
