There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 429 Not an Ordinary Person
Gu Yongjia's eyes turned cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't speak for a long time.

On the other hand, Li Dongsheng sat silently, with a serious expression on his face.

Li Haitang didn't understand what the two of them meant, and said to Gu Yongjia with a puzzled look: "What do you two mean, there are no outsiders here, so what kind of riddles are you playing?"

Gu Yongjia reached out and took one of her hands in his hand, and gently rubbed his fingers on her hand as if to comfort her.

"Since the emperor has already told you, then I will not tell you about the dangers of Qili County. Not for others, but for your sister. You should also take good care of your identity. This is a very important matter, and you have to deal with many things." There is no need to investigate too deeply, some time ago, I sent Leng Lei to your side, you can discuss something with him."

Regarding Leng Lei's affairs in Qili County, not to mention Li Haitang, even Li Dongsheng didn't know about it, so when he heard Gu Yongjia say this, Li Dongsheng was surprised, but then he was full of emotion.

The brother-in-law was afraid that something would happen to him, so he dispatched Leng Lei to his side.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry, the emperor has arranged someone for me, everything will be fine."

Gu Yongjia nodded, did not continue, looked at Li Haitang beside him with an anxious look on his face, and then explained: "You don't have to worry, Dongsheng is not a child anymore. There are plans, some things are not that we don’t tell you, but we can’t say, not only to you, but to anyone, don’t worry, I will definitely protect him.”

Hearing Gu Yongjia's words, Li Haitang knew that she couldn't tell the truth about this matter. Since he had the confidence to protect Dongsheng, she should believe him.

Moreover, the matter between Dongsheng and the tenth princess is already settled. Since the emperor sent Dongsheng to handle this matter, he must have made arrangements for it, but she couldn't do anything because she was just worried.

"I don't care about any secrets between you, I just hope that you can take good care of yourself, don't put yourself in danger, and think about your family first when you do anything."

Gu Yongjia and Li Dongsheng looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Since there are some things that cannot be said, naturally the topic can't keep spinning on it. Li Haitang turned the topic to another place, and said: "Dongsheng, who was that Mrs. Zhao before? Who is the one who talked after that? It seems The two don't seem to have a good relationship."

Seeing that Haitang changed the subject, Li Dongsheng heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "The tall and thin woman with triangular eyes who spoke at the beginning was Zhao Huang's wife who knew Zhao Yan, and the one who spoke later was a bit fatter. It is Wang Liu, the wife of the head secretary Wang Li, and the two of them talk like this all day long, and everyone is used to it."

Li Haitang was a little strange. Isn't it tiring for the two of them to talk like this in such a small yamen?He opened his mouth and asked, "Is there a gap between the co-prefect and the master registrant? In such a small yamen, if a co-prefect and a master registrant do not agree, it must be very inconvenient to do things."

Li Dongsheng smiled. Unexpectedly, the topic would still come up to this after going around and around.

"It is common knowledge that Zhao Yan is from the Gu family, and this master book is from the Liu family. The two people belong to different forces behind them, so naturally they don't agree."

"The Gu family? Which Gu family?" Li Haitang was a little puzzled.

Li Dongsheng glanced at Gu Yongjia, and then said: "The Gu family in the capital, and the Liu family, are also my master's family."

Unexpectedly, this small county could involve so many acquaintances. Li Haitang was a little surprised, but then felt that Qili County must have a big secret.

If it is really as poor as it appears on the surface, why would the Gu family and Liu family in the capital send someone here to be a small acquaintance and master book?
Now that he had asked these questions, Li Haitang naturally wouldn't ask any more, and then said a few words in a neutral manner, then stopped talking, and said a few more homely things, and then Li Dongsheng left.

Early the next morning, Li Dongsheng took the two of them for a walk around the street.

No wonder Qili County was known as a poor county in the Zhou Dynasty. The center of a county is a street. There are many shops on both sides of the street, but there are not many people visiting, and there are not many people on the whole street. What made Li Haitang even more surprised was that there were not many people on the street, mainly old people and children, and the expressions on everyone's faces were rather numb, with no emotions or joys to be seen.

After walking for a while, Li Dongsheng went back first because of the county government's business, leaving Li Haitang and Gu Yongjia to wander around by themselves.

The two walked for a while, and found that there was another Manxiang Building in front of them, and the scale of this Manxiang Building was not small, with four floors, and the decoration was antique and grand.

Li Haitang smiled and said: "This Yunjinhai is really pervasive. This Qili County is so poor that there is actually a Manxianglou."

"What we see is often just the appearance. Maybe this Qili County is not as poor as you seem."

Not only is it infinite, the value hidden in Qili County is immeasurable, this Yun Jinhai has some vision.

"Come on, let's go in and sit down, maybe we can hear something interesting by accident."

Li Haitang couldn't help laughing when he thought of the words he heard in Yancheng.

The two walked hand in hand in front of Manxianglou, and the waiter at the door greeted him enthusiastically.

"Two distinguished guests, please."

Seeing that the two of them had extraordinary looks and well-dressed clothes, they shouted loudly to the lead guest inside: "You two, private room on the second floor."

The little Er inside immediately came out to welcome them, and led them up to the second floor.

Because he wanted to find out more information, Li Haitang glanced at the lobby on the first floor and found a strange place.

Although there are no young people on the street outside, the people sitting in the Manxiang Building are all young and strong people, and most of them are wearing bunts, which can be seen as workers.

The first floor of Manxiang Building is where ordinary people sit, so it is not unusual for workers to eat here, but the people inside look tired and look like they haven't had a good rest. Seeing Li Haitang facing When they saw it, vigilance appeared on their faces.

There were even a few people who, seeing Li Haitang's strange face and strange expression, directly put the money on the table, turned around and left.

Seeing Li Haitang's curious expression, Gu Yongjia quickly took her hand, walked quickly through the lobby, and went directly to the second floor.

When the two of them entered the private room on the second floor, Gu Yongjia said: "Haitang, those people below are not ordinary people, you can't keep staring at them when you see them in the future."
