In the afternoon, Lu Jing and Yan Yun separated and each stared at Geng and Hou for a while.
As a result, no unusual movements were found on them, or any contact with unknown people. Among them, Geng Nan had sneaked to the north of the city when he was in Tianshen.
However, Yan Yun followed him and found that he was just there to meet a sweetheart. After the two had a chat, Geng Nantian picked up his pants and returned to the escort agency.
On the other side, the bodyguard who was following Lu Jing was a training madman. He didn't move anywhere all afternoon. He was either doing horse steps or practicing boxing.
An ordinary set of Taizu Changquan has been practiced by him to a great level, and when used, it is impressive and powerful.
When the sun was about to set, just like yesterday, Lu Jing and Yan Yun received another message from Wang Wan, asking them to go home and have dinner together.
Yan Yun has actually warned Wang Wan once. Now she and Lu Jing are still in the dark, asking Wang Wan to maintain his original life. Suddenly ordering a large table of food and drinks from a restaurant may attract the attention of interested people.
However, after returning home, Yan Yun realized that she had mistakenly blamed Wang Wan. This time, it was Wang Wan who took two maids to cook in person. It is said that it took a full two hours to cook a table of delicious food.
For this reason, Wang Wan accidentally burned her hand, so Yan Yun naturally couldn't say anything more. But after everyone was seated, she asked Wang Wan about selling the house today.
Wang Wan first peeled off a crab leg for each of the two children and let them eat it slowly. Then she said, "Daxia Lu and Sister Yan asked me to pay attention to who the buyers are. I always keep this in mind."
"Today, Yaren has brought in a total of four buyers. Among them are Mr. Qi who is in the water transport business, Mr. Li who owns Silk Pu, and a protector Yan from Sanhu Hall. In addition, there is also a person named Meng Xueru. This woman's name is a bit unfamiliar to me. She didn't say what she did. And from what I saw, the clothes on her body and the makeup on her face didn't seem very expensive.
"So after that, I secretly asked Yaren, but Yaren reassured me, saying that Ms. Meng has extraordinary financial resources and showed a five thousand tael banknote before coming to see the house."
Yan Yun's expression changed when she heard the name, "When did she come?"
"She came very early and arrived at a moment's notice."
Facing Lu Jing's questioning look, Yan Yun explained, "Meng Xueru is Geng Nantian's concubine. She was originally a brothel girl. Geng Nantian spent money to redeem her. However, his own wife was a shrew, and Geng Nantian did not dare to take her away. He took Meng Xueru home to live with him. In fact, he had been carefully hiding Meng Xueru's existence. Even no one in the Tianma Escort Agency knew about their relationship, and..."
Yan Yun paused, "In the afternoon, Geng Nantian also went to see Meng Xueru. I listened on the roof for a while and found that they were...having sex with men and women, so I stopped listening. But now it seems that Geng Nantian I probably went to Meng Xueru’s residence not just to have fun with her, but also to inquire about Sister Wang’s sale of her house.”
"Geng Nantian is the bodyguard of Tianma Escort Bureau, and he is very popular with Mr. Zhao. Although he earns a lot, he will definitely not be able to save 5,000 taels of silver for daily expenses, plus raising a wife and socializing, so The five thousand taels on Meng Xueru probably came from the 10,000 taels paid by Su Dong's family for the secret escort trip." Lu Jing also added.
Yan Yun nodded, "It seems that Geng Nantian did have a lot to do with the death of brother-in-law Su, and as his best friend, Meng Xueru should also have a lot of his secrets in his hands, so we can go and meet him next This Miss Meng.”
Yan Yun acted resolutely, and after finishing speaking, he had already raised his sword. When Lu Jing saw this, he also put down the steamed bun in his hand and stood up from the chair.
Wang Wan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when she looked at the table of dishes that hadn't been touched much. After a while, she said, "You, don't you want to go after dinner?"
"Go early to avoid any mishaps." Yan Yun said, "It doesn't matter. Sister Wang can leave one or two dishes for us to heat up when we come back."
"Oh." Wang Wan seemed a little disappointed. The dishes on tonight's table were the result of a lot of hard work on her part. You must know that she hasn't cooked a few times since she got married. In order to prepare tonight's meal, She had studied with the maid for a long time and had practiced beforehand.
But in the end, she didn't complain about anything. She just said softly to Yan Yun and Lu Jing, "Go early and come back early."
But when they were about to reach the door, the two children, Bao'er and Chai'er, suddenly put down their chopsticks, ignored Wang Wan's shouts, ran back into the inner hall, and then ran out quickly, He caught up with Lu Jing and Yan Yun who had just left the house.
He stretched out his hand, and what he handed over this time were two bracelets made of grass stems.
Yan Yun squatted down, put one of them on his hand, then touched Bao'er's head and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Yan will avenge your father's hatred for you."
Lu Jing also took another straw bracelet from Chai'er's hand, thanked him, and then the two of them walked towards Meng Xueru's residence.
Meng Xueru had been living on Shizi Street in the north of the city since she was redeemed from a brothel by Geng Nantian. Yan Yun had only been there once in the afternoon, so she was familiar with the place.
But when he walked outside Meng Xueru's door, Yan Yun found that Lu Jing suddenly stopped and looked at a tea stall on the corner of the street.
Yan Yun followed Lu Jing's gaze and saw an old man with a beard sitting in front of a tea stall drinking tea. His hair was all gray, but his back was straighter than that of a young man, as if in this world Nothing can overwhelm him, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
Lu Jing sighed, walked to the tea stall, and sat down opposite the old man with a long beard.
The latter asked Dr. Tea to give Lu Jing and Yan Yun each a bowl of herbal tea, and then said, "How about it, are you still used to living in the capital?"
Lu Ding nodded and said, "Compared to Wujiang City, Lintian Mansion has a drier climate and doesn't rain much. However, it is better because it has many people, is connected to all nations, and has the momentum of the Heavenly Family."
The old man with a sharp beard nodded, "It's always good to see more of the world while you're young."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yan Yun aside and asked, "Is Pavilion Master Qiu in good health?"
At this time, Yan Yun still couldn't guess who the old man with the beard was. Hearing this, he bowed and said, "Senior, I remember that my master is very healthy and his swordsmanship is very advanced."
"At the end of a long journey, we can still make further progress. In this world, I am afraid that even Master Qiu can still do it." The old man with a Qiu beard praised.
However, he was interrupted by Lu Jing before he finished speaking. Lu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Zhao, we are so familiar with each other, can we stop talking about such useless gossip?"
"Really, but I thought you, Master Lu, liked these twists and turns." Zhao Banshan said lightly, "Otherwise, if you want to investigate me, why don't you come to me face to face and insist on leaving the near and seeking the far away."
