"But if that's the case, why did Lieutenant Wu let them kill his brother-in-law?" After a while, Li Yuan had a new question.卶
Li Yong also felt a little confused and guessed: "This is naturally not the work of Wu County Lieutenant, nor can it be his emissary. Thinking about it, it is probably because the two sides share the spoils unevenly, so those people want to take advantage of Captain Han's life. Warn Lieutenant Wu County?"
No matter how strong a fortress is, it can be torn apart from the inside.
Originally, one was a government official and the other was a bandit, and they came together because of their interests. The foundation of this kind of cooperation was not solid.
Forget it once or twice, over time it will cause dissatisfaction. Both parties may feel that they have done more and deserve more, and conflicts will naturally arise.
At this point, it can be said that it is on the verge of splitting.
At this time, we have to see what Wu County Lieutenant's attitude is towards this.
Li Yong did not inquire about Wu County Lieutenant these days, not because he did not expect this, but because the other party was usually not in the county town, and it was difficult for him to send people to pay attention to him.卶
Moreover, it is too difficult for these people under my command to keep an eye on a county captain. This is different from the little girl from Jiaofangsi.
As for the invisible drone, Li Yong threw it out to explore the terrain.
Otherwise, how did this sand table come about?
If you just ask, you won't be able to get such sophisticated results in just a few days.
"My son is right, but how can I prove it?"
Li Yuan also realized that if it was true that Lieutenant Wu and the Qiantang bandits were connected, it would be more difficult for them to suppress the bandits unless they eliminated the other party first, which would make it easier to alert the enemy.
Li Yong's eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to worry about this matter, sooner or later they will reveal clues. Instead of looking forward to that, it is better to get our escort agency in order first. This is the business."
…
"The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, why are there so many people here?"
"Hehe, the young master comes out less, but he doesn't know that the Oiran Competition is being held here recently, but it was delayed for two days because of the Korean class leader..."
Li Yong and Xin Yan walked along the river bank together. They mainly took a walk to eat at some Northern Song Dynasty-style "roadside stalls" nearby, and also observed the livelihood of the people.
Objectively speaking, it was much better than he imagined. It was in line with the construction of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", a scene of prosperous industry and commerce.
Maybe it's because this is not a slum area...
After all, it is a romantic place where stories of talented men and beauties often take place. Not far away is Jiaofangsi, and there are various brothels and tile shops along the river, as well as painted boats on the water. I don’t know how many charms are circulating here.卶
And these obviously have nothing to do with the people at the bottom.
Living alone has taken up most of their lives, so how can they spend their energy on it?
When he sent the drone out to survey the terrain, Li Yong actually saw a lot of things that he would rarely see in these places.
It can only be said that this is the "characteristic of the times". In fact, there is nothing new under the sun. Even in his era, it was not that there were no such disgusting and indignant human tragedies at all. It is just that with the development of industry and technology, the manifestations of poverty have The form is just different.
"I hear what you said is very clear. Did you also place a bet?" Li Yong asked casually as he listened to Xinyan talking about the lively opening bets for those who should be selected as oirans.
Xin Yan didn't dare to hide it, so he just said that he invested a little and didn't expect to make more.
A follower like him can get a lot of benefits by following Li Yong at any time. There is no need to be like those gamblers who dream about getting rich suddenly.卶
Of course, he is self-aware, otherwise the situation of bankrupting himself due to too much investment is not unheard of among slaves like them.
Li Yong shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
Taking another two steps forward, Xinyan suddenly called out to Li Yong, pointed in front of him and said, "Master, look, that's not..."
Li Yong was also a little surprised when he saw it
, but it is not an accident at all. After all, this place is not far from Jiaofangsi, and it is not a lady who never goes out. It is normal to come out to join in the fun and go shopping.
But looking at the other person's appearance, he seemed to be looking for something, constantly looking left and right.
And she was holding a girl tightly on one hand, who must be her sister.
There was no need for him to take the initiative to say hello, but the other party quickly noticed him.卶
"Master Li?"
When Song Qijun saw Li Yong, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He subconsciously took his sister a few steps this way, and didn't stop until he was blocked by the crowd.
Li Yong smiled at her and nodded, took two steps closer, looked at the little girl holding her hand and asked, "This is..."
"Oh, this is my slave's sister, Song Yinzhang." After saying that, Song Qijun called Xiao Yinzhang to call him Young Master Li.
The girl, who was only four or five years old, was timidly hiding behind Song Qijun. After hearing this, she poked out half her head and called out "Master Li" softly, then shrank back again.
It can be seen that this child is a little afraid of life, but also a little dependent on Song Qijun, his sister.
Later, she actually placed her reliance on Zhao Pan'er, but unfortunately, she was not her biological sister after all...
"I don't want to meet you sisters here, what are you..."
"Oh..." Song Qijun was about to say something when a shout suddenly came from the distance. It took him two times to hear it clearly.
"It's not good! It's not good, someone jumped into the river——"
Hearing this, Song Qijun's expression suddenly changed, and he turned around and ran in that direction while dragging Song Yinzhang.
Li Yong glanced back at Xin Yan and quickly followed.
When they arrived at the place, they saw people gathering around them one after another, but everyone just stood on the embankment and talked about it, and no one actually went into the water to save people.
Others deliberately said: "Oh, what should I do if I don't know how to swim?"
Song Qijun quickly grabbed the others and asked eagerly: "What kind of person was that person who jumped just now?"
"I can't see clearly, but I think she is a little girl."
"Who is that?" Seeing Song Qijun's anxious eyes, Li Yong knew it was someone she knew.
"Young Master Li!" Song Qijun seemed to have been reminded. He turned to look at Li Yong and said, "That must be Pan'er. She is one of our servants... a friend who just got separated from us. Please save me, Mr. Li." she!"
She knew that it was embarrassing and disrespectful for her to make such a request.
After all, Li Yong only met her two or three times. Although Li Yong was a kind-hearted person, which made her feel some admiration in her heart, but a young man like him might just be acquainted with her out of curiosity.
But at this time, people's lives are at stake, and Song Qijun can't control that much. At worst, this little human relationship will be consumed in advance.卶
Li Yong hesitated, glanced at Xin Yan next to him.
Xin Yan immediately shook his head into a rattle and shouted repeatedly: "Young master, don't look down on the little ones, they don't know how to swim. If he goes down like this, no one can save him, and I'm afraid he will have to suffer the consequences of his life." .”
Li Yong said angrily: "You can't do this and you can't do that. What's the point of raising you?"
"Hey, I will serve the young master. If you have any other instructions, please tell me and I will naturally do it..."
Hearing that Li Yong and Xin Yan's master and servant did not discuss how to save people, but were still in the mood to chat there, Song Qijun was undoubtedly a little disappointed, and his impression of Li Yong also dropped somewhat.
Even though she knew very well in her heart that Zhao Pan'er was not related to him, it seemed to prove that her favors were not worth mentioning to him.
