"If there is anything wrong with Lu Mu, we will end this relationship."
"Oh, I remember that this sword on my body must have been stabbed by one of his men. Why, Miss Meng, you don't know right from wrong."
"Then you must have offended my husband before, otherwise what would he do if he gave you a sword for no reason?"
Meng Li thought about this question. If you don't provoke someone like Lu Mu, he won't deal with you.
And Xie Xian is a nuisance at first glance.
Xie Xian clicked his tongue. This angle of protection was beyond his imagination.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Lu Mu coming around the corner of Qiushui Pavilion.
The man took the snacks and clothes from Meng Li's hand.
"go home."
He was so elusive that he almost startled Meng Li.
But she found a smile on the corner of the man's mouth, as if he was in a good mood.
"When you come to pick me up, just wait at the door openly and go around the corner to do whatever you want."
"I went to the toilet."
Xie Xian stood there, watching the two people leave, with a vague and unpredictable smile on his face.
He did not go to the second room of the Meng family for the time being, but entered a teahouse.
"Boy, please bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
He was the only one here, and all his men were intercepted and killed. It was difficult for him to figure out Lu Mu's movements by himself.
When he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, Meng Li said, "You heard a few words of what Xie Xian and I just said."
She felt that the aura on Lu Mu's body was much lighter, and there was an indescribable harmony.
This is not like the usual Lu Mu.
"Did you talk to him?"
"If you have anything worth being happy about, can you share it with me?" Meng Li said.
"No."
"Then what are you happy about?"
"I'm not happy."
Well, Meng Li knew that talking to such a person would be in vain.
"Last night, Xie Xian took action. Maybe he had already figured out from clues that I was selling private salt."
"That's great. The sooner you reach cooperation, the sooner he leaves." Meng Li said.
Xie Xian staying here is always a time bomb.
"If he hadn't been so stupid, he wouldn't have been able to stay for a few days."
Xie Xian finished writing a letter, found a place to raise pigeons, and sent the letter away.
Watching the pigeons flying higher and farther, Xie Xian rolled his sleeves and went to the second room of the Meng family.
After dinner, Xiao Su came to change Xie Xian's dressing.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, you look better." Xiao Su said.
Xie Xian glanced outside and saw Meng Ning passing by the door.
He sighed: "Oh, maybe, when I go to bed at night, I will occasionally feel a sharp pain, and I won't be able to sleep peacefully."
Meng Ning was about to pass by, but after hearing these words, he returned to the room where Xie Xian lived.
"Thank you, Young Master. My eldest sister has superb medical skills. She will have no problem curing you. Just have a good rest. When you are completely healed, you can think about other things."
He had heard that Xie Xian was still sick and went to Youbaike to attack him. It was his elder brother who persuaded him to come back.
Although he looks like a noble man, he has no airs at all. His injuries haven't healed yet, so he just wants to repay his kindness.
Xie Xian smiled and said sincerely: "Okay."
Xiao Su went back after taking the medicine, and Xie Xian walked out of the house.
The moonlight is good tonight, Meng Yao is sitting in the yard, with an eight-treasure box beside him, which contains many novel toys.
She put down one thing and picked up another without even looking at it.
Xie Xian had never seen these toys, including those sold by the second room of the Meng family. It was hard for him to imagine how they were made. This kind of thing was a bit mysterious, but he didn't care. He cared about the salt.
"Little sister likes toys very much?" Xie Xian showed a gentle smile.
"Yeah, my eldest sister gave them to me."
Meng Yao said proudly, lowering her head and playing with the toys again. In her hand was a delicate music box. The thing on it would rotate and make sweet sounds. This was her favorite.
Xie Xian took out something from his sleeve, which was a gadget he bought at a stall, and leaned over to hand it to Meng Yao.
"I am recuperating at the Meng family, and my little sister has to work hard cooking every day. This is a little thought from me."
Meng Yao took a look and saw that it was a puppet. She had this one that was more fun and more flexible to operate.
She shook her head: "Sister said, don't take other people's things casually, thank you uncle."
Uncle, Xie Xian's mouth twitched because he was two years younger than Meng Wu.
Meng Li inquired about it and looked at this scene with some irony on her face.
"Xie Xian, forget it, my little sister is only nine years old and doesn't understand your twists and turns."
Xie Xian was not embarrassed and put the things back in his sleeves: "Miss Meng, guarding against me is like guarding against a thief."
"No, my little sister doesn't like your toys because I gave her the best, so you can't bribe her."
What she didn't expect was that Xie Xian not only wanted to win over the eldest brother and second brother, but also wanted to get close to the younger sister.
It seems that Xie Xian wants to win over her whole family. Does he think that with one more person to talk to him, he can stay here for a while longer.
Lu Mu came over, seemingly holding something in his hand.
"Xie Xian, let's talk."
After saying that, he stepped out of the yard.
Xie Xian glanced at Lu Mu's hand and his face changed slightly. He had already guessed it.
He also got up and followed him out.
"Hey, it's so late, what are they doing out there, drinking?" Meng Ning said.
Meng Wu said: "The dinner is very rich, and the meat will save you. But Xie Xian can't drink it now, for fear that he will have to go out to satisfy his greed. Alas, he really doesn't care about his body."
He said that he was going to follow him out.
"Brother, they are not going to drink, they have other things to do." Meng Li said.
"That's good, they are friends." Meng Ning remembered.
In a private room of a teahouse, Lu Mu placed the item in front of Xie Xian.
"Look, is it the letter you sent this morning?"
Xie Xian snorted: "I already knew you were guarding against this move."
Lu Mu had been in the south for many years, not just for refuge. He had built an airtight network here.
Lu Mu said slowly: "You may like those salts."
"Salt is good, but it's illegal." Xie Xian tapped his fingers on the table slowly: "I'm curious about who is buying it. If you buy so much at one time, both the buyer and the seller are guilty. "
Selling salt in such a huge quantity requires a direct license from the imperial court, approval by the emperor himself, and supervision by commissioners.
Salt is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken.
If a large amount of it is in private hands, it will be a big hidden danger.
Lu Mu looked at the other party, his eyes as quiet as the sea.
"So, do you want to buy it?"
Xie Xian couldn't help but cough, and his tone became serious.
"Master Fu, you are committing a crime, and it is a serious crime. Please be more serious."
