After stopping their chat, Li Chongrun gently patted Gai Xue's neck and motioned for her to follow the figure.
In a corner of the West Market, there are several small buildings with a Western style.
Yang San carried a huge baggage and walked straight into one of the small buildings.
Li Chongrun left Aisha to look after the horse and quietly touched it himself.
The windows of the small building were very small, and some voices could be heard coming from inside. Li Chongrun listened carefully with his ears raised, and he could only vaguely hear a few words of "not found" and "don't worry", as well as a few faint sounds of crying.
Hearing footsteps coming outside the door, Li Chongrun originally wanted to hide aside, but when he heard Yang San yell, he suddenly jumped out of the door with a big stick in his hand: "Thieves, stay away!"
The big stick was thick at one end and thin at the other. The thickest part was as thick as a fist. There was a faint purple-red sheen between blue and black, and it looked heavy.
But Yang San, who jumped out like a tiger, quickly turned into embarrassment. Before he could put away the big stick, he asked, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"
"Ah, I want to tell Sister-in-law Yang that you secretly raised a child outside. Let her divorce you with Huan'er and come to the house to be a full-time cook."
Huan'er is the apple of the Yang family's eye. The little girl has bright eyes and good eyesight, and she looks vaguely like her little cousin.
"I didn't, I wasn't, the prince misunderstood!"
After three consecutive denials, Li Chongrun wondered if he should change his expression to a resentful woman in order to match such familiar words.
Yang San struggled to explain for a long time. It turned out that he went to Xingyang to look for Lao Chen's old house, but found that the Chen family's aunt and her mother were being kidnapped by gangsters, and a fire broke out in their home. He saved him, but he was afraid of returning home.
With tracking, I finally settled here.
Hearing the noise outside, a somewhat wealthy middle-aged woman came over holding a teenage boy. The boy was pale and looked a little sickly.
"Auntie Chen, this is the King of Linzi I told you about."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The man in our family was deceived by lard, but no one of his men has ever lost his life. It was all because of the monk."
When the woman saw Li Chongrun, she began to cry to Li Chongrun. Li Chongrun wanted to interrupt several times, but he couldn't keep up with her speaking speed, so he had to give up.
Similar to the previous reasoning, Old Chen was the great-grandson of Empress Chen, who lived in Xingyang and made a living by slaughtering pigs and dogs. It took a lot of effort to find the tomb of his ancestors, and he wanted to give the Chen family the last chance.
The glory deserves a suitable burial ceremony.
It's just that life in the divine capital was not easy. Later, with the skills of bomb disposal that he had learned as a butcher, he helped the "clean" and suitable young men in Na Xing to provide entertainment for the nobles with special hobbies.
Just because his craftsmanship was really beautiful, Lao Chen gradually gained some fame in the circle, but he was arrested by Lijingmen when he was secretly buying prohibited funerary objects.
Monk Na Liaofan heard about his craftsmanship and resorted to various means to release him. He only used this as a condition to coerce Lao Chen to help them process eunuchs.
Over the past few years, the children provided by Monk Na Liaofan have become younger and younger, and the number of children has increased.
But recently, for some unknown reason, Lao Chen suddenly sent the two of them back to his hometown. He just arranged for them not to show up in public, and even gave up his son's studies, which he usually valued very much.
"Did he say where he was going?"
Li Chongrun finally found a chance to ask. What the woman said was similar to his own reasoning, but whether it was Lao Chen himself who had the treasure map, or whether he gave Lao Chen the treasure map provided by Monk Fan.
The woman doesn't know either.
"Our family didn't say anything." The woman looked at Li Chongrun's expression carefully and felt a little relieved when she saw that he had no expression.
"Just a few days ago, someone suddenly came to Zhuangzi and wanted to kidnap us and my wife. Fortunately, the husband of the Yang family rescued us, but the house was burned down by the gangsters, so we hid here."
Yang San scratched his head in a very honest manner and explained to Li Chongrun: "I originally wanted to settle down with Aunt Chen before going, but who would have thought that I would meet the prince here."
When he didn't get any news from Lao Chen, Li Chongrun didn't want to talk to this woman anymore and prepared to leave.
Maybe he had been kneeling on the ground for a long time. The little boy from the Chen family was just about to get up from the ground. Maybe his movements were a bit too big. He only got up halfway and fell to the ground.
Li Chongrun reached out to catch him with quick eyes and hands, but saw that his eyes were closed tightly, his teeth were clenched, and his breath was very confused.
After learning medical skills from Taoist Li for so long, Li Chongrun was already considered an entry-level Chinese medicine practitioner. He reached out and grabbed the young man's wrist and found that there was nothing serious, just some anemia.
The Chen family woman moved forward nervously. When she heard that Li Chongrun had arranged for Yang San to send her son to the palace, she was very nervous. "Our national loyalists still have to take the imperial examination, but they can't be servants.
.”
"The prince has arranged for the young man to go to his home for medical treatment. How can you see a doctor when you are short of doctors and medicines here?"
Li Chongrun didn't follow any further and went straight to Aisha to retrieve the horse, then turned around and returned to the palace.
Using the excuse of helping him diagnose and treat his illness, he left the Chen family's baby at home as a hostage. Even if Lao Chen couldn't find it when he went to the south this time, he would eventually show up on his own.
After some twists and turns, when Li Chongrun returned to the palace, the five-person group was already waiting for him in Shifang's secret room.
Chen Ziang's appearance became more and more scruffy, his beard and eyebrows were bunched up on his face, and his belly was much bigger than when he first met him.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you so unruly? Could it be that Lu Zhu treated you harshly?"
Chen Ziang had a wry smile on his face: "The boy at home has been very naughty recently, especially crying all night long, which is really miserable."
Li Chongrun didn't expect that Chen Zi'ang, a lifelong hero, would have such troubles about the love between his children. It really didn't match his macho style.
After exchanging pleasantries with a few other people, Li Chongrun began the meeting.
It was a rare formal meeting, but the main purpose of the meeting had been sidelined because Chen Ziang fell into a sweet siege.
After repeatedly confirming with everyone that there were no informants in Jiangnan Road, and there was no need to worry about floods flooding the Dragon King Temple, Li Chongrun began to make arrangements to go to Yangzhou this time.
Originally, he was going to take the macho poet with him, but seeing how affectionate he was, Li Chongrun was really embarrassed.
Taoist priest Li was not a wandering Taoist priest. The decree restricted his location and it was very inconvenient to leave Luoyang.
Qiniang's left hand has never regained its sharpness, and Gongsun Lan has already left the army, and it is enough to follow her. What's more, Yang San has also returned, and there is no shortage of experts around him.
Ruyu is the big housekeeper of the family. Although Fang'er usually does a lot of things, she has been promoted to a wife now and does some housekeeping work. Even if Li Chongrun is not embarrassed, the other party is also embarrassed, so it is not easy for Ruyu to follow her.
Go to Yangzhou.
After thinking about it, only Bing'er, who was born in the Jiaofang Department and liked to wear a yellow floral palace dress, could follow him to Yangzhou.
The purpose of taking her to Yangzhou was to see if she could take advantage of her Yeting background and train the newly trained little girls from Qingyiyuan.
Secondly, I wanted to show my loyalty to my grandma who likes to look at everything, and let her see my red heart pointing towards the sun. I went to Yangzhou without any small calculations of my own.
Finally, everyone was arranged for the next mission in the sacred capital of Luoyang. Although the Wuling people showed no trace, they still had some relationship with Buddhism. This gave Li Chongrun a reason to send people to keep an eye on Buddhism, especially the Dabaoen Temple.
Taoist priest Li was very happy to receive this task. His goatee was up and down, and he looked like he would immediately lead a group of experts to burn the monk temple to the ground as soon as Li Chongrun gave the order.
In this era, it took a long time to prepare for going out, especially to allocate goods.
The workshop at the foot of Mang Mountain cannot be moved, but I still paid a high moving fee and brought a few mature and serious craftsmen with me.
When my cousin, who had changed his name to Wu Chongxun, heard that he was going to Yangzhou, where there are tens of miles of fireworks, he agreed without even blinking.
Wang Rong was a little depressed because Li Chongrun was going on a long journey, but there was really no other way. He could only tell Li Chongrun to be careful with his money, but he didn't know whether he was reluctant to part with money or Li Chongrun.
After writing a memorial to bid farewell to the emperor, and with His Majesty's approval, Li Chongrun took a group of newcomers from the Qingyi Garden and a few of the first batch of children who performed well in the Grand View Garden, and took a boat from Luoshui to the canal.
.
Because this trip to Yangzhou was not just to re-trial a few cases, Li Chongrun didn't know the risks, so he simply left Fang'er at home.
It was just that on the eve of his departure, Fang'er used all his means to squeeze every last bit out of Li Chongrun. It was only when there was really not a drop left that he gave up.
Early the next morning, Li Chongrun stared at a pair of huge dark circles. He got off the carriage with the help of the yellow-haired little lolita and was carried to the boat by everyone. Even Yang San was startled and thought he was suffering from a sudden illness.
, asked him if he wanted to go to the doctor first.
After hearing him explain the reason with a wry smile, Yang San decisively showed a smile that all men knew, dismissed the attendants, and quietly taught Li Chongrun a set of secret techniques in his ears.
Li Chongrun had never left Luoyang. Yang San, a master of rivers and lakes, had more experience and had great achievements in aphrodisiac skills, so he was appointed by Li Chongrun as the team leader. He took the big boat from Princess Taiping's mansion and headed for the canal along the Luoshui River.
.
When Wu Qi climbed up from the bottom warehouse laughing and joking, he quietly bit Li Chongrun's ears. Li Chongrun ignored that his hands and feet were still weak and crawled towards the bottom warehouse.
There was no other way. There was an uninvited guest in the bottom warehouse. Now that he was far away from Luoyang, he missed it, thinking that Li Chongrun would not send him back again.
"My little ancestor, how dare you be here? Wu Qi, go and tell Yang San to stop the boat immediately and send this little ancestor back!"
