For so many years, although he has been known as a playboy, in fact, he has been secretly investigating the situation of these families for his brother.
Except for those hidden tribes and a few extremely exclusive families, although he did not know the situation of other families very well, he would pay attention to some people who should be paid attention to on his brother's behalf.
For example, the real leaders of these families and their heirs.
He must be familiar with at least some of the basic conditions of these people.
There is another type of people that he must pay attention to.
That is the confidants around these people, or those who are more trusted by them and can speak out.
And this maid came into contact with several such people.
If all this was a coincidence, then based on his understanding of those people, it was not like he would give up easily after being hit.
But they turned a blind eye to the maid's behavior. Even after being hit, they left without even a word or two.
Abnormalities must be evil, so Lezheng Zitan quietly followed the maid and watched her wandering around the street for a while before entering an inconspicuous grocery store.
After a while, the maid came out of the grocery store, carrying something in her hand.
That way, it really doesn’t look like I’m here to buy something.
Lezheng Zitan called someone over and asked the maid who was following him to see who else he would come into contact with after he returned. He just thought about it, and then pretended to be nonchalant as there was no one around and went in. That grocery store.
The boss welcomed him eagerly after he entered.
After all, with the current situation in Yuehu City, most people would rather stay at home than go out and cause trouble.
This boss also had a hard life. He originally wanted to make a fortune during the clan meeting, but who knew that he would end up losing so much that he even had to add a coffin board to his salary.
Lezheng Zitan's eyes were like lightning as he scrutinized the owner of the grocery store.
But there was no other emotion in the other party's eyes except eagerness, so he temporarily ruled out the connection between the other party and the maid.
He then talked to the boss skillfully, and finally spent almost five taels of silver to coax the boss into telling him everything.
"Young master, you really have a good eye. All the good things we have here are brought in from outside. To be honest, the girl who left just now came to our house specifically to buy embroidery thread. She has been here four or five times in the past few days. This shows that our products are really good!"
While boasting, the boss also did not forget to promote his own products.
Le Zhengzitan quietly brought the topic to the girl just now, raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't know which lady is so leisurely and carefree, but she still has leisure time when the outside is already in such a mess. embroidered."
"Hey, although the clan meetings in previous years were also lively, they were not as twists and turns as this year. Speaking of which, I am also a little curious. If others buy things, they only buy some food, but that girl always buys Some needles, thread, brains and the like. Well, looking at that girl’s generosity, you can tell she belongs to a wealthy family, so I don’t have to worry.”
Where to him! There are a few more wrinkles on the worried face.
I don’t know how to explain to the tigress at home after I go back.
"I won't disturb the shopkeeper anymore, take my leave."
Lezheng Zitan got the news he wanted, and threw another twelve taels on the counter, which was considered as a reward for the boss's hard work.
Soon, he joined his men.
"Second Young Master, the woman you asked me to follow didn't contact anyone along the way. It's just that he threw down a bundle of yellow thread before entering the door."
"Where is that thread? Did you pick it up?" Lezheng Zitan asked.
"We, we originally wanted to pick it up, but who knew that someone beat us to it. We were afraid of being discovered, so we returned it."
"But Xiao Xiao has already sent someone to follow the person who picked up the thread. If there is any news, he will definitely come back to report it."
really!
Lezheng Zitan's brows furrowed tightly.
He knew there must be something fishy here.
But thinking about the figure he saw at Zhao's house today, he felt a little uneasy again.
If Aunt Qing once took their mother's place and rescued the two brothers from the quagmire.
Then the relationship between the person he just saw and the two brothers is more like that of biological sisters.
At least in his opinion, Yao Shilin cared about and loved them like his own sister.
If it weren't for the fact that Sister Shilin was married too far away, he would definitely have visited her, but he didn't expect to see her again under such circumstances.
And why does Sister Shilin have anything to do with the Zhao family
This puzzled Le Zhengzitan.
At the same time, he was unwilling to associate Sister Shilin, whom he had regarded as his biological sister since childhood, with those conspiracies.
But after all, Lezheng Zitan was not the immature boy he was before. After Sister Shilin appeared, although he was excited, he did not act recklessly.
He had to go back and ask his elder brother about this first.
But he didn't expect that before he could see his eldest brother, he would get news from Sister Shilin.
"Second Young Master, someone just sent this thing over, saying that an old friend wanted to see you."
Le Zhengzitan was stopped by his subordinates just as he was about to go upstairs. Looking at the purse that his subordinates brought over, he saw that the faded bluegrass on it was indeed quite familiar to him.
At this time, Lezheng Zitan was not happy at all, but instead had more doubts about Sister Shilin.
He tightened his grip on the purse and asked in a deep voice, "Where is he?"
"It's in the house where we stayed before. Second Young Master, please don't worry. Both sides have been decorated. No one will find this place."
All of his men are loyal, so he will naturally not suspect anyone of leaking secrets.
In other words, Sister Shilin didn't know the news about her brother, she only came here for her.
Could it be that she was just looking for him to reminisce about old times
Thinking of this, Lezheng Zitan's suspicions calmed down.
"Okay, I'll go over right now. You guys guard this place and don't let anyone get close."
"yes."
Lezheng Zitan finally held the purse and went to see this old friend.
In the evening, Lin Mengya, who had just had dinner and was forcibly taken out for a walk by her husband, happened to bump into Lezheng Zitan, who was full of worries.
Lin Mengya called him several times, but to her surprise, the man seemed to have lost his soul and did not respond at all.
In the end, she had no choice but to pat his shoulder and raise her voice: "Hey! I'm back!"
Unexpectedly, it shocked him.
The man suddenly froze, looking at him blankly, as if he had lost his soul.
"I said, didn't you bump into something dirty outside?"
Lin Mengya stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Lezheng Zitan's eyes.
Although she is a staunch materialist, things like soul traveling have really happened to her.
, so, what else cannot happen
Maybe there is, right
But Lezheng Zitan immediately retorted, "No, I didn't bump into anything dirty. I just... Oops, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. What do you want to say?"
"I didn't say anything. By the way, I wanted to ask you if you could contact Wei Qingjiang for me. After all, we are leaving tomorrow. If he wants us to help bring something to his family, he should get it as soon as possible. Don’t miss it.”
Originally, she didn't want to trouble Lezheng Zitan about this matter.
But the man in her family said that judging from the current situation, among them, only Le Zhengzitan's actions would not attract the attention of others.
Even if someone catches him, he can just focus on finding Le Zhengzixiu.
If they were one of their people, if someone noticed that a stranger had sneaked in, it would be a serious problem.
And this is not a trivial matter, it is also related to Wei Qingjiang's arrangement.
That's why she thought of asking Lezheng Zitan to ask her a favor.
Unexpectedly, this man ignored her for a long time and looked lost, which was really strange.
"Oh, okay, I'll go ask it for you right now. Just wait."
Just as he said this, Lezheng Zitan turned around and was about to leave.
But Lin Mengya's sharp eyes discovered that there was a stain behind him for some reason.
"Wait."
She stopped Lezheng Zitan.
The latter immediately didn't understand and looked back at her with confusion. As a result, the other party just touched a spot on his back.
"You are such a big man, why don't you know how to change your clothes when they are dirty?" she said with a smile.
Lezheng Zitan also smiled and said, "I probably didn't see it when I went out. It's not in the way."
But Lin Mengya smelled a vague fragrance.
She subconsciously searched for the source of the flower's scent, only to discover that the scent might come from her own fingertips.
She twirled her fingers, smelled again, then took out her handkerchief and wiped her fingertips carefully.
Um? Why else
Only then did Lin Mengya realize that the fragrance was quite long-lasting.
However, her sense of smell is very keen.
When Coke Zhengzixiu came back before, she didn't smell this smell.
"What kind of spices are used to make your clothes fumigated? How come they last so long?"
Lin Mengya just asked casually.
After all, as a girl, who doesn’t want to smell good all over her body
Especially her.
Because she works with various medicinal materials every day, the smell on her body cannot be too strong, but she also doesn't want her whole body to be filled with the smell of medicine.
Wherever I go, I look like an oversized ginseng essence.
If it has such a quiet smell, it wouldn't be overpowering if it were stronger.
She wanted to ask, but Lezheng Zitan shook her head.
"That's probably the smell of soap locust. Besides, I'm a grown man, so why do I smoke incense all day long?"
Even if you usually have this thought, now that you can keep it clean and fresh every day after such a hassle, why would you waste time and effort on doing these fancy things
"Then where did you encounter the smell? Is it the smell of flowers, plants and trees?"
Lin Mengya asked curiously.
