Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 235 Meeting (1)
Li Zhu has been in the city very frequently recently, and she is always paying attention to the movements of Shopkeeper Sun.For example, I heard that he was fired, and I also heard that he was beaten and disabled.

Wu Chengming also confiscated his family property and paid all of it to the bandit. The bandit's name is Wang Song, and he is the capable subordinate of King Hu of Beiwushan.Wu Chengming didn't dare to offend the bandits, so he apologized in private, donating money and hosting a banquet, and repeatedly stated that this matter had nothing to do with him.

For Wang Song, gold bars and silver are not a problem at all, but the two missing letters are the big problem.Because he intensified the torture of Shopkeeper Sun.Shopkeeper Sun was tortured until he lost his human form, but he still didn't tell the whereabouts of the letter, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know.

Li Zhu felt that it was useless to keep those two letters, so he ordered Xiao Hui to send them to Sun's house.In order to avoid suspicion, she asked Xiao Hui to stuff the letter in the mouse hole and bite a few bites on insignificant places.Leave some inconspicuous clues to let people discover the existence of the letter.However, when delivering the letter, she felt that the endless letter was a bit strange, so she withheld it.

Aunt Li and Yang Laoshi soon found out about Shopkeeper Sun's news, and they couldn't help clapping their hands in celebration.I didn't expect him to have today!It's really the reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not good.

The family put this matter aside for the time being, happily doing New Year's goods, and decided to have a good reunion year, and then consider livelihood issues after the new year.

Getting rid of Shopkeeper Sun made Li Zhu heave a sigh of relief.Her body and mind gradually relaxed, and she was ready to make other plans after getting through this well.Li Zhu works with Aunt Li every day, cleaning the house, feeding ducks and geese, or helping them fry meat, croquettes, and steamed buns.

Li Zhu thought that he had done a perfect job of blaming Shopkeeper Sun.No one can suspect her head.But she never expected that this matter has already aroused suspicion from others.

According to the original agreement, the bandit Wang Song went to Nanwu Mountain to ask to see the owner of Qingfeng Village who was entrenched here.The owner of the village is a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, his surname is Ning and his name is Ximai.It is said that it was because the parents and family were killed by treacherous ministers that they fell into bandits.He fought the two former chiefs of Nanwu Mountain, and became the master of the village himself. He also had two brothers, one civil and one military.Although he has not been here for a long time, he has managed the cottage in an orderly manner. Today's Qingfeng Village has strong soldiers and horses, and the whole village is as strong as an iron barrel.The government dared not attack, and the surrounding bandits dared not provoke.The big gentry nearby also donated food from time to time to ensure safety.

Wang Song hurried all the way to the foot of Nanwu Mountain, informed the patrolling followers of his name, and was then taken up the mountain to meet the village owner.After Wang Song visited Ning Ximai, he gave a general account of what happened in Qinghe County and explained why he was late.

After hearing this, Ning Ximai smiled lightly and said, "Your King Hu is really confused. You can just pass on this kind of thing by word of mouth. Why do you have to write a letter?"

Wang Song hurriedly explained: "This matter is of great importance. Our king is afraid that the younger one will not be able to explain clearly, and the other is that King Ning will not see the letter written by himself and will not believe the younger one. In addition, the younger one and his brothers often sent letters in the past. Never made a mistake. I didn’t want to turn the boat over in the gutter this time, and let that shopkeeper Sun plot against him.”

Hearing Shopkeeper Sun's name, Ning Ximai's eyes flashed with thought.Based on his understanding of shopkeeper Sun, he would not have the guts to attack someone like Wang Song who is not easy to mess with at first sight and has a local accent.Although he only heard a general idea, he felt that there were many doubts.

So he casually asked:

"You said that you were poisoned by the Mongolian, sweat, and medicine he gave that night, and you didn't even notice when his people entered the house?"
