After struggling a little internally, Lu Fang shouted outside.
Then he stood up and said to Chen Youxi: "Miss Youxi, a altar of morning glow is enough. It is difficult for other wines from Zuihualou to enter your throat again. Let's stop here tonight!"
After saying that, he cupped his hands and planned to walk outside.
As the saying goes, don't take advantage of the bastard, but Lu Fang really planned to be a bastard tonight.
If Chen Youxi hadn't been there to save her life, maybe she would have taken possession of Chen Youxi's body, so she wouldn't feel guilty or anything like that. I'll spend your money on you, it's just business.
But now that Chen Youxi is indebted to him for saving his life, and the two of them are showing signs of becoming close friends, it would be a bit inhumane to rub Chen Youxi's guard against him again.
Lu Fang doesn't care what others think of him, but he must live up to his own conscience.
"Master Lu."
Chen Youxi was slightly stunned, slightly opened her red lips and called out to Lu Fang.
Lu Fang turned around and met her big, watery eyes with a hint of surprise and confusion.
Chen Youxi blinked her eyelashes and said, "It's getting late, don't you plan to stay the night?"
She didn't ask Lu Fang if he didn't like her beauty, because it was impossible.
Although she was a little drunk, she could still clearly see the desire that Lu Fang occasionally showed when he looked at her just now.
In this regard, she considers herself worthy of a sharp eye.
Lu Fang smiled and said: "Tomorrow I have to follow my brother back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so we won't stay overnight. I'll take a rest early, little lady."
After saying that, he walked out the door.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be tempted to change his mind.
This is the majestic Tanzhou Oiran, you can take your pick!
Chen Youxi was stunned when she saw Lu Fang almost running away.
Suddenly, he burst out laughing and said to himself: "It really seems like a different person from before..."
Then he showed a sigh and said, "If it was you I met in Tanzhou, I probably wouldn't be in this situation today, right?"
…
Lu Fang asked Zuihualou's carriage to be sent back to the county government office. The sky was already so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers.
Fortunately, there are government officials guarding the county government offices at night.
He asked the yamen servant to carry a lantern to the backyard, but Lu Fang did not go back to his room, but went to Lu Liang's yard.
The light was still on in Lu Liang's room, so he was obviously not asleep.
He knocked on Lu Liang's door.
Lu Liang's figure emerged from behind the window paper. He stood up and opened the door. He saw Lu Fang and asked, "Went to Zuihua Tower?"
He looked a little unhappy.
"Um."
Lu Fang nodded, walked into the room on his own, and said, "That little lady Youxi saved my life. I'll go talk to her."
"Did she save you that day?"
Lu Liang said in surprise.
Lu Fang has never said anything about this. That day, Fu'er and Ning'er didn't see that it was Chen Youxi who took action.
Lu Fang sat down on Lu Liang's bed and nodded again, "Yes."
Lu Liang asked again: "Can she know martial arts?"
"It should be possible."
Lu Fang said: "But I haven't asked her how she knows martial arts."
In fact, he also wondered how Chen Youxi knew martial arts, but Chen Youxi didn't take the initiative to mention this matter, and he didn't ask. The relationship between the two has not reached that point yet.
The slight dissatisfaction between Lu Liang's brows disappeared and he said: "Since she saved your life, you should accompany her to talk."
He was a little surprised as he said, "You... just went to talk to her, and you didn't think about redeeming her life in return?"
Lu Fang is different now than before, he is no longer so heartless.
Lu Fang curled his lips and said, "I would like to, but it's a pity that I don't have the ability."
Lu Liang couldn't help but cover the place where the money bag was hanging on his waist, "You are very wealthy now. You don't have such a small amount of money, but you still want to get it from me, right?"
Lu Fang looked at his actions and was very annoyed, "Look at how stingy you are, can you give birth to a baby with that little money or something?"
Then he told Lu Liang about Chen Youxi’s past.
"It turns out that she is also a miserable woman, and the things she encounters are inhumane..."
After hearing this, Lu Liang murmured and sighed, but then he just said: "It's a pity that we can't afford to offend Mr. Pan. Otherwise, we can redeem her life as a reward."
Lu Fang waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I came here to ask you, how is the matter with He Zhengci?"
Speaking of this, Lu Liang frowned suddenly and sighed: "How hard it is! I'm afraid we won't be able to find out the murderer."
Lu Fang asked in confusion: "How to say?"
Lu Liang said: "Captain Cao led people to investigate the scene. He Zhengci, his wife and the old servant were all killed by one person, and they were killed with one move. The perpetrator must be a martial artist, and his cultivation level was not bad, and the people around him were
There are no witnesses. The perpetrator did not leave any useful clues after the murder. How can we investigate? Unless we screen all the people who have problems with us or with He Zhengci, but so what
Can it be filtered out?"
Lu Fang also frowned, "What about He Chengcai?"
Lu Liang said: "I don't know where I went. I haven't heard from him until now. It's like he disappeared out of thin air."
"Made."
Lu Fang couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.
It's not a good feeling to be surrounded by clouds of suspicion and conspiracy.
It’s even worse when you don’t know where to start.
He said: "Then we can only wait for the state government office or the watchman to investigate this matter?"
"There is no other option now."
Lu Liang sighed again and said: "Seeing that I am about to serve as an official for three years, I never expected that something like this would happen at this juncture. I don't know if I can still keep my position as Ningyuan County Magistrate."
Lu Fang was slightly stunned when he heard this, "You didn't kill the person. As for cutting your official position? Are you worried that people from the state government's Yamen will find out something else from you?"
"no."
Lu Liang said: "We Dayu officials have an annual review every year. In the past two years, because of your affairs, the wealthy gentry made it difficult for me in every possible way when paying taxes. As a result, our Ningyuan tax amount was not sufficient. For two consecutive years, my annual tax was not enough."
The review only gave me a B grade. Now that He Zhengci has been assassinated, if I don’t have an explanation and even the prefectural government can’t find out the real culprit, then I’m derelict in my duty. I’m afraid I’ll get a C grade even if I’m lucky.
B. If I have been B for three years, the best result is that I will be transferred to a remote county. It is impossible to stay in Ningyuan."
Ningyuan is adjacent to Tanzhou, which is considered a prosperous place among many counties in Jingnan County.
Lu Fang scratched his head.
Lu Liang added: "I will check again in the next few days to see if I can find any other clues. Tomorrow, you will go back to worship your ancestors! I will ask Mr. Xiao to accompany you back."
Lu Fang thought for a moment and said, "I think it's better for me to go back by myself. Master will stay here with you to investigate the case."
Lu Fang chuckled and said, "As long as Mr. Wang is here to accompany me to investigate the case."
Lu Fang shook his head, "Are you sure there is no watcher still watching us secretly? If you encounter any accident and Mr. Wang takes action, the trouble will be even greater, right?"
He knew that Lu Liang wanted Lao Xiao to protect him, but in comparison, investigating the case and hiding Lao Wang's strength were obviously more important.
The assassin had already been killed, and Lu Fang estimated that he would not be in any danger.
Although there are martial arts masters everywhere in this world, they are still controlled by the court's laws and will not kill people easily.
"Okay! Then I'll ask Zhu'er to accompany you back."
Lu Liang did not insist and nodded.
Lu Fang was stunned and said: "Zhu'er doesn't need to go back?"
Lu Liang smiled and said: "If it were before, she would definitely go back. But now, if I ask her to escort you back, she won't refuse. You kid, you are really good at pleasing women."
Lu Fang pouted, "Okay, I'll tell her myself. You can just investigate the case with peace of mind."
Lu Liang didn't say anything else.
He just wanted to take advantage of the Qingming Festival to make his final effort.
The prefectural government will not send anyone down these days. If we can find out the exact clues, we will have an explanation by then. No matter what happens, we won't get burned.
