After Chun Yu left, Song Qingyou finally calmed down a bit and wanted to catch up to explain, but he didn't know what to explain. He said to the boy beside him: "Double Happiness, go buy another copy according to the things on the ground, no, double copies, send them to you." Prince Xuan’s Mansion.”
Shuangxi held his arm and said, "Yes, I will be there soon."
Song Qingyou shook off his hand and said in a tone that said, "Go now! I can go back by myself!"
Mr. Xu held a banquet last night, accompanied by Song Qingyou. He drank wine all night and fell asleep for a while in the early morning. Just as he was about to return home, he accidentally bumped into Chunyu.
Shuangxi saw the adult insisting, so he had no choice but to nod and leave.
Song Qingyou cupped his hands and said to Liu Zimo, who had never spoken a word: "Master Liu, are you going to the Yamen? I won't delay you, so I'll take my leave."
As soon as he turned around, he heard the person behind him slowly say: "Master Song."
Song Qingyou turned around and saw Liu Zimo staring at something on the ground.
Song Qingyou smiled and said: "It was the lower official's negligence, so we will take care of it now."
Then bend down to pick up something on the ground.
At this time, several children ran over, picked up the chestnuts scattered on the ground and stuffed them into their mouths.
Song Qingyou smiled and gave them everything he picked up that was clean and not stained with dust.
When the children were happy, they began to bend down to pick them up and put them in their pockets. After a while, the ground was clean.
Song Qingyou was just about to get up when he saw a chestnut not far away, so he went to pick it up. A pair of black soap boots appeared in front of him and trampled the chestnut under his feet.
He raised his head and looked up along the crimson official uniform. The plain gold belt made the person in front of him stand tall and straight. The leopard embroidery on the official uniform was fierce and agile, which was completely different from that of the civil servants. Just looking at it made people feel awe. : "Master Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Zimo lowered his eyes and looked at the chestnuts under his feet. He gently twisted his toes. With a crisp sound, the chestnut shell cracked, revealing the yellow chestnut kernels inside. They were instantly mixed with the sand and soil, making it impossible to see their original appearance.
Just when Song Qingyou thought the other party wouldn't say anything, Liu Zimo said calmly: "Why do you think she will want something that is already dirty?"
Song Qingyou's originally slightly red face suddenly lost all color, and she lacked confidence: "I, I have already asked someone to buy it again."
"Ah."
Liu Zimo chuckled: "If he's dirty, he's dirty. Even if he changes his appearance, it can't change his dirty nature."
Song Qingyou swayed, stood up slowly, straightened his back, and said, "Master Liu keeps saying that he is dirty down there, but what about you? How much cleaner are you than me?"
Liu Zimo didn't seem angry after being scolded, and even had a slight smile. He leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice and said, "I am more self-aware than you. By the way, do you know why Fu Mingzhu ended up like that?"
Song Qingyou's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.
Liu Zimo stood up straight, gently stroked his sleeves, and said softly: "She wants to ruin other people's innocence, so naturally some people will retaliate in kind."
Song Qingyou took half a step back unconsciously, his face pale: "Is it you?"
Liu Zimo raised his eyebrows, didn't answer him, got on his horse, and drove away in the dust.
As soon as he arrived at the Yamen, Ah Cheng found that the master was in a bad mood today. But he had other tasks in the morning, so he didn't follow the adults. After asking around, no one knew what happened, so he had no choice but to go in.
Liu Zimo threw away the pen in his hand irritably and asked, "There is no news from King Xuan yet?"
Ah Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and put the pen on the shelf, then took out a towel to wipe off the ink that accidentally fell on the desk, and whispered: "Not yet, but I guess King Xuan has probably left Jiangnan. Moreover,"
Ah Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at the lord, and continued: "The Hangzhou magistrate will definitely not be able to save it this time. I just hope that this fire will not burn on the Liu family. The Marquis just came and asked your lord to think of a solution."
"Ah!"
Liu Zimo sneered, "Are you scared now? They even dare to make money for disaster relief, so what are they afraid of?"
On this point, Ah Cheng did not speak for Kang Lehou.
Although he is a son of the Liu family, he has been with the second master since he was a child, suffered a lot in the border, and knows the difficulties of the people better than others.
Therefore, when he heard that the Marquis actually colluded with the Hangzhou magistrate under the guise of the Third Prince and His Excellency, and put the money allocated by the court for disaster relief into his own pocket, he was very angry.
I even felt a little happy when I heard that King Xuan had obtained their evidence and was waiting to hear the news about returning to Beijing to meet the emperor.
It's just that, as a slave, he didn't dare to say anything if the lord didn't say anything. When he heard what the lord said, he couldn't help but said: "So the Marquis and the others are also inquiring about the whereabouts of His Highness Prince Xuan, but they don't have a clue yet."
The corner of Liu Zimo's mouth curled up: "You really overestimate your capabilities!"
Ah Cheng: "Sir, what should we do now?"
Liu Zimo came out from behind the desk, picked up the sword hanging on the wall, and asked repeatedly: "What should I do? Have you finished all your errands? Are you okay?"
Ah Cheng said hurriedly: "I don't dare."
Liu Zimo was injured and should have rested in the mansion for a while, but he was really impatient with the people at home, so it was better to come to the Yamen and take a walk around the city gate when he had nothing to do than to be pestered.
When the guards at the city gate saw Captain Liu coming, they cheered up.
Liu Zimo turned around and asked a few more questions. Seeing that nothing happened, he was about to turn around and leave when he saw a woman wearing a cloth scarf, carrying a basket and preparing to leave the city.
The guard asked as usual, and just when he was about to let him go, something suddenly broke into Liu Zimo's sight and immediately caught his attention.
"stop!"
Liu Zimo shouted and walked towards this side.
The guard hurriedly stopped the woman, looked at him in confusion, and explained: "Sir, these are people from the city who are out to visit relatives."
"Yes, yes, sir, my husband's surname is Zhang. They live in an alley in the west of the city. There are seven people in the family. There is..."
The woman had never seen such a high-ranking official, especially Liu Zimo's cold and terrifying aura. Before he could ask, the woman was eager to explain her eighteen generations of ancestors clearly.
"what is that?"
Liu Zimo suddenly interrupted the woman's words and pointed at a purse around her waist.
The woman was stunned, looked down, pulled off the purse, and said carefully: "Sir, is this, is this a purse?"
Not to mention women, even the city guards on the side were puzzled that their dignified captain was actually interested in a woman's purse.
But take a closer look at the woman in front of you. Although she is not young, she has smooth skin and a plump figure. Although her clothes are not very expensive, she is also clean and decent. If...
Thinking of this, the guard looked at Liu Zimo with a somewhat meaningful look.
Liu Zimo didn't pay attention to the guard's eyes. He took the purse in the woman's hand and looked at the complicated patterns on it, his eyes dark.
Ah Cheng also noticed something was wrong, winked secretly at the guards, and took the woman aside.
