At noon, get the moon tower.
Luo Xing set up two tables to celebrate Duan Tieniu's official appointment at the Nanya Special Investigation Division. Although Nanya was not allowed to drink alcohol, he still restrained himself at noon, after all, he had to be on duty in the afternoon.
After the banquet, Luo Xing returned to Nanya and rested for a while. Then he went to the forging workshop and spent the entire afternoon there.
Blacksmithing technology can only grow through proficiency.
If Luo Xing wants to build a sword by himself, he must follow this objective rule without any tricks.
Of course, Huo Shanzi's requirements for him were also very strict. After all, Huo Shanzi almost regarded Luo Xing as his successor at this time.
Although there is hope for his hands to recover, any "surgery" is risky. Even if there is a 70% certainty, what about the remaining 30%?
Therefore, Huo Shanzi also hopes that his skills can be passed down, even if this inheritance is not so pure.
…
Returning home from work in the evening, Luo Xing saw Wen Zhaoping and knew that this guy had something to report to him.
So, just follow the previous agreement.
We met in a private room of a tavern.
"Captain Luo, the warm-up for the Queen of Flowers Conference has begun. Today we have added a check-in section because there are a lot of women participating in the Queen of Flowers Conference today. In previous years, there were only about three or four thousand people, but this year there may be more than 10,000, so After the primary election, there will be a re-election, the purpose is to filter out two-thirds of the people, and there are so many outstanding talents this year. Tuberose and the major gourmet places in the capital have established a "Flower List", and those who are on the list There are a hundred people in total, updated from time to time..."
"Wen Zhaoping, do you think I asked you to monitor and investigate Miss Yumei just for these tidbits?" Luo Xing asked with an unhappy expression.
"Isn't Nanya just collecting relevant information?" Wen Zhaoping was stunned. Did he understand it wrong?
"Do I need you to investigate these things secretly?" Luo Xing scolded, "What I want is the details of this Yumei girl. Do you understand the details?"
"Captain Luo, what are you suspecting? You have to give me a direction. Otherwise, we three brothers and sisters will be like headless flies and don't know what the point is?" Wen Zhaoping also spread his hands helplessly. When we talk about checking the "Yumei" girl, what exactly are we checking on her?
"First, Yu Mei's true identity, and second, her past and present social relationships, who she associates with, all details, am I clear enough?"
"We can't tell you her true identity for the time being. After all, we can only know it from the outside. At present, we have not found that she has a disguised identity. There is no need for Nose to forge an identity for her. This society you are talking about "Relationship, after our observation in the past few days, she, Yumei Girl, hardly goes out. On weekdays, she only asks people to send some snacks and so on. This is the store and type of snacks she ordered." After saying that, Wen Zhaoping handed over the snacks. A list.
There are three shops recorded on it, one is for making pastries, Yueshengzhai, Luojing Famous Shop, one is selling preserved fruits and roasted seeds and nuts, and the other is a famous restaurant nearby.
Not only the date, but also the time and specific quantity.
"Everything is delivered to the door and asked to be delivered by the door. No clerk is allowed in." Wen Zhaoping explained.
"Then how does he hawk these things?"
"The man will go out every morning to do some shopping. Some things will be brought back directly, while others need to be made fresh. Once they are ready, they will be sent over."
"You weren't discovered, were you?"
"No, Wu Jianfeng and I have also temporarily applied for jobs as nursing homes. This will make it easier to complete the tasks assigned by Captain Luo." Wen Zhaoping said.
"Don't you dislike this job?"
"That's different. We don't do this work for survival, but for the mission, and this is just temporary."
"Have you checked the man named Ding Mohan?"
"He came here twice in total, and each time it didn't last long. He came to see Miss Yumei. We are trying to find a way for Mengyao to pretend to be that kind of woman and live in it. It seems that there is an empty room in there that has not been rented out... "
"It's an identity issue that can't be solved, is it?"
"Yes, we have no way to do this unless we forge identities, but if we find out, we will be in trouble."
"Will you check?"
"Yes, people from the Inspection Department will come to check from time to time. It's okay if they don't find it. Once they find it, it will be troublesome. So we don't dare to act rashly, so we came to Captain Luo to discuss this matter." Wen Zhao Ping said.
"How is Miss Mengyao's dancing skills?"
"It's okay, but the vocal aspect is much worse."
"Bring her to me tomorrow and I'll help her change her image so that no one can recognize her as Yuan Mengyao. Students from the Zhenwu Academy are also frequent visitors here, as you know."
Wen Zhaoping's face turned slightly red. In the past few days, he had indeed met many acquaintances. If he hadn't been on a mission and couldn't speak to others, he would have been laughed to death by those classmates while working here.
"I know, but once Mengyao is listed, she has to accept customers, otherwise she will be suspected?"
"Don't worry about this, am I just a ready-made customer?" Luo Xing chuckled, "Of course, don't worry, I don't have any blasphemous thoughts towards Miss Mengyao. I did this just to spy on Miss Yumei. Condition."
"clear."
"Go out in a moment and go through the back door. Our relationship can't be exposed anymore." Luo Xing warned, "You have participated in Nanya's written examination for recruiting new students. If someone asks, do you know what to say?"
"I know, we didn't get hired, so we can only go to Hualiu Lane to work.
"What about Miss Mengyao?"
"Mengyao has something to do at home, so she's going home first." Wen Zhaoping was stunned for a moment, then thought of an excuse and said.
"No, it was Miss Mengyao who saw how depraved you were now, so she had a quarrel with you and then parted ways." Luo Xing said, "Do you understand?"
Wen Zhaoping thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I understand, Lieutenant Luo."
"Go ahead."
…
Since Yan Fang personally gave him the task, he really wanted to go meet Song Yi for a while.
Returning to Pingkangfang's home, after taking a hot shower, I found Xue Qingqing coming. In Xue Shangxiang's room, mother and daughter were talking about themselves.
The loneliest person at this time was Hong Ying. She was wearing a fox fur and holding a hand-warming copper stove, standing in the yard like this.
A person, alone, looks very distressed.
For more than ten years, she thought she had found support, and even wanted to give her life for it, but all of this became a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.
"Hongying, it's too cold outside. You haven't fully recovered yet, so you should go back to the house." Luo Xing opened the door and walked out, sighing.
"Yes, seventh brother."
Luo Xing saw a trace of moisture in the corner of Hongying's eyes. He rarely saw Hongying shed tears in his memory. It seemed that although she had received training since childhood, it did not turn her into such a cold and heartless person.
He felt a little distressed. Although he had done some excessive things for the mission, now that he was facing it, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Always want to do something for her.
"I know that you really want to ask your master why he gave up on you, so if you want to go back to Xirong, I won't stop you."
"Brother Qi, I feel that I have lost the meaning of living in this world."
"What is the meaning of living? Have you seriously considered it?" Luo Xing asked, "Before this, what were you doing every day?"
"I……"
"Actually, the meaning of living is to live. It's that simple. There are not so many answers I want to find. If I have to add one word, it is to live with dignity." Luo Xing said.
"But I don't know what to do?"
"What are you doing? I see if you like this. You can go out to travel around the mountains and rivers, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world, you can do business and expand your business territory to places where everyone can go, or you can open an orphanage, adopt orphans, and teach them how to behave. Practice martial arts and give them a different life..."
Hearing this, Hongying couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
She is an orphan, and she understands very well the situation and danger of orphans. Those who are lucky enough to be adopted will be trafficked, or even starve to death and be eaten by wild beasts.
She had personally seen a child about her age being bitten and devoured by a pack of wild wolves. That scene often appeared in her mind, and it was her childhood nightmare.
"Brother Qi, I want to open an orphanage, is it okay?" Hongying said.
"Have you thought about it?" Luo Xing was surprised. He just said casually, why Hongying was so touched.
"I am also an orphan. I want to give these children who have no father or mother a place to live and shelter, and I will do my best to do my best."
"Then you definitely can't do it alone. You have to find some like-minded people."
"Find someone?"
"Yes, to open an orphanage, you need space and people. If there are just a few children, you can still take care of them. What if there are more children? You can't handle it alone. Luojing has a lot of money, and orphans The hospital can choose a remote place, but the place must not be small..."
"Ah?" Hong Ying simply wanted to open an orphanage, but he didn't expect that there would be so many things involved, involving all aspects.
"Hongying, if you have thought about it, Brother Qi will help you." Luo Xing also had an impulse. His original body was an orphan, and if his previous life was included, it would count.
A person who earns so much money and has such high power will eventually return to dust, and only his reputation will remain.
This is also the spiritual pursuit of human beings.
"But I don't have that much money?"
"You don't, but Seventh Brother does. It's too easy for Seventh Brother to make money, so you don't have to worry about it." Luo Xing chuckled, "When you recover from your injury, we will start planning this matter, how about it?"
"Okay." Hongying nodded.
Luo Xing also felt a stone fall in his heart. Hong Ying's mental state was not very good, but if she could find something to do and give her a place to rest her mind, she would stop thinking wildly. This would undoubtedly be the best for her. .
Opening an orphanage may not be a fresh start in life for her.
As for what to use the orphanage for, Luo Xing really hadn't thought about it.
…
Hong Ying went back to his room. Luo Xing stood in the yard for a while and was about to go back to his room to rest. When he turned around, he suddenly saw Xue Qingqing standing behind him.
"Aunt Xue, don't you make any sound when you walk?" Luo Xing was really distracted just now and didn't notice Xue Qingqing.
"Ji Yu'er", the enchantress also deliberately didn't remind him.
This is a joke waiting to be seen by him.
"I heard what you said to this Hongying girl just now, Luo Xiaoqi, I didn't expect you to have such an idea." Xue Qingqing said.
"I am also an orphan. I was sent to a secret camp since I was a child. I was lucky enough to survive. I just feel the same way."
"It's really difficult for a person to grow up in such an environment and still maintain his original intention and innocence. No wonder Lao Meng will accept you as his apprentice." Xue Qingqing nodded.
"Aunt Xue is so complimentary."
"I originally wanted to take Xiang'er away when she gets better, but now I think it's better for her to stay with you." Xue Qingqing said.
"Thank you Aunt Xue for your trust. I will treat Shang Xiang like my own sister."
"I believe this."
"I know you are also a student of medicine. Aunt Xue has nothing to give you. This is the fragment of the "Qing Sang Handbook" from Yaowang Valley, as well as some of Aunt Xue's experience in bone setting and disembowelment. I'll give it to you." Xue Qingqing handed Luo Xing two booklets.
Luo Xing was not short of money, and it was too vulgar to give money away, but Xue Qingqing could only think of these ways to express gratitude.
