The moon stars are rare, and Lu Yi flipped through the files he brought back under the lamp. It was not just about Zhou Xianji's case, but also the information about the Wu'an Gang, its gang leader, the hall master, and so on.
Gao Qinghou was outside Lu Yi's room, waiting for instructions at any time.
Outside the Crescent Moon Gate in front of the hospital, someone seemed to be looking at him. Gao Qing stared at him keenly, and instinctively pressed his hand on the handle of Xiuchun's knife, shouting, "Who?!"
"Don't panic, it's me." This summer appeared from the crescent gate with a smile on his face, walked over lightly, pointed to the room quietly with his hand, and asked him in a low voice, "Lord Lu has eaten? How are you feeling? "
Without answering her words, Gao Qing asked stubbornly, "Is something wrong?"
"This... There is a lack of funds for the investigation. Dayang and I have limited funds, and Master Liu has not yet returned, so I would like to ask Master Lu to allocate some silver taels first." This summer said with a smile.
Gao Qing looked at her in disbelief, and was amazed how Liu Sengmen cultivated such a shameless person: "Did you come to ask for money at night?"
"There is no way, I am also investigating the case, and the cost of renting a boat is not low." This summer explained.
The door creaked and was pushed open from the inside. Lu Yi appeared at the door with a robe half on, frowning slightly and looking at Jin Xia: "What are you going to rent a boat for?"
"That's it, my lord..."
Although his face was a little sour, but after all, he was eager for money, so he insisted on explaining the reason to Lu Yi with a smile on his face this summer.
After listening to Lu Yi, he pondered for a moment, and instructed Gao Qing: "I want to swim in the lake tomorrow, you can arrange a fragrant boat for me, and then release the news. You should know what to do, right?"
Gao Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I understand."
"Go."
"Retire from humble office."
Jin Xia, who was put aside, looked at Lu Yi inexplicably, and when the latter looked down at her, he suddenly understood, and said happily, "Fragrant bait catches gold ao!"
"Tomorrow you will serve as a maid and let Yang Yue follow as a servant." Lu Yi gave her another look after instructing, "I hope your information is accurate, don't waste my efforts."
"It's definitely true, it was your grandfather who told me..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yi had slammed the door shut in front of her, almost hitting her nose.
Undaunted this summer, he pointed at the crack of the door, raised his voice and said sincerely: "Your grandfather is very nice, how about I take you to see him sometime?"
This time, even the lights were turned off inside.
Touching my nose this summer, I had to turn around and leave.
The next day was a cloudy and rainy day, and the lake was covered with smoke woven from rain threads, and it went straight to the shore. In the misty rain, boats can be seen indistinctly.
On one of the incense boats, there are several people, and the fragrance of flowers, fruits and wine is lingering and intoxicating.
This summer, she put on Tsing Yi, dressed as a maid, her hair was braided on both sides, and then tied with ribbons in the shape of a scorpion, adding a bit of playful color. At this time, her hands were neatly folded into her sleeves, and she was standing beside the outer cabin window door, her only pair of lacquer-like eyes twitching.
Yang Yue was beside her, dressed as a servant, wearing a red felt hat with green and green stickers in a red hood. He looked festive and energetic, and he was greatly praised by this summer as soon as he put it on, saying that it was especially suitable for him.
Jinyiwei Qianhu Gaoqing is not afraid of the drizzle, standing on the bow of the boat, proudly like a halberd, wearing a bright splendid dress blowing fiercely in the wind, coupled with a stern face, it is quite possible to save his life anytime, anywhere stance.
"Pour wine." A soft voice.
Hearing the sound, I hurriedly stepped forward this summer, took the warm wine copper pot, poured it into the celadon cup, and filled it carefully without spilling a drop.
"Sir, please take it slow." This tone was gentle and courteous, and she spoke in a low voice. She thought that she had done enough of the role as a maid, and she was very satisfied with herself, and she couldn't help showing a bit of pride on her face, "Lord, look Am I alright?"
Lu Yi held the cup, glanced at her lightly, and said, "Misty rain, Qingzhou, fine wine, and beautiful maid, all the first three are available, the only one is the same..." He didn't finish his sentence.
"... The appearance of the humble office is a little worse," this summer was choked, and said dissatisfiedly, "Can you investigate the case, can't you just order it, sir?"
The corners of his lips curved slightly, and he said lightly, "Just make do with it."
The wind carried rain threads and rustled against the window of the ship.
Listening to this summer, he frowned slightly and whispered to Yang Yue: "This rainy day, will that Zhai Lanye not come out to swim in the lake?"
Just as Yang Yue was about to speak, he heard the sound of waves nearby, as if a boat was approaching...
Gao Qing on the bow came in and said to Lu Yi, "Sir, there is a boat approaching, and there is a flag of the Wu'an Gang on the bow."
Wu An Gang!
This summer, he quickly exchanged glances with Yang Yue. Because of the bombing of the police officer, she made a special trip to the head of the Wu'an gang after the incident yesterday. The gang said that the young gang leader accompanied the old gang leader to the outside of the city to make incense; she went to the wharf to find Shangguanxi, but found the wharf. There are Jinyiwei haunting, so I have to give up.
I was still guessing who was in the boat, but someone on the boat outside said aloud:
"Wu An helped Shangguan Hall Master to ask to see Lord Lu."
Gao Qing frowned and said, "Sir, they are people in the rivers and lakes. If you don't want to see them, let the humble post go back to her."
Lu Yi was calm and nodded to Gao Qing: "It's okay, I had a quick relationship with this Shangguan Hall Master before, and I wanted to talk to her again, please invite her over."
"Yes."
Gao Qing turned around and exited the cabin.
I didn't expect it to be Shangguanxi, but why did she want to see Lu Yi? This summer, full of doubts, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, don't you want to see Zhai Lanye?"
"Don't worry, they are all beautiful women, why not have one more?"
Lu Yi turned his head and asked her back.
This answer is really a bit shameless. This summer, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was speechless.
The hull swayed slightly, and through the gauze curtain, a slender figure could be seen jumping on the bow of the boat, and Gao Qing was leading her in... Today's Shangguanxi is a little different from that day at the pier. There are sporadic raindrops on the pink robe, soft and gentle. Elegant, more and more slender waist and full grip, less capable of being a hall master, and more delicate of a woman.
I have been looking at her this summer, hoping that she will have eye contact with him, at least to understand her purpose. But Shangguanxi never looked at her, not even Yang Yue.
Lu Yi got up and greeted him with a smile, "Master Shangguan, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
Shangguanxi was also very polite, and cupped her hands: "You swim in the lake in a light rain, and experience the pleasure of adults."
"Yangzhou is a good place, and mist and rain turn into poetry. If this is in the capital, the rain is like a knife, and people will no longer have leisure time." Lu Yi gave way to the inner cabin.
The inner cabin is more elegantly arranged than the outer cabin, and everything is complete. The charcoal in the small smoker cage is already lit, and it is much warmer than the outer cabin. This summer, she followed up with a tea tray with a low brow and pleasing to the eye, poured it for the two of them, and then sprinkled lily incense into the smoked cage, accidentally spilling a little too much, and firstly made her sneezed twice.
Seeing her turning around in front of her, Lu Yi said impatiently, "Okay, go out and wait, and close the door."
go out? Still closing the door? Yuan still wanted to hear what the two of them were saying, but this summer was stunned, looked at Lu Yi, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "It's better for the servants to stay here, and it's more convenient to serve tea and water."
Lu Yi frowned slightly, and before he could speak, he heard Shangguan Xi smile:
"Children of the rivers and lakes, don't stick to trifles."
"I heard it, don't go out yet!" Lu Yichao said solemnly this summer.
I can't do it this summer, so I have to quit.
"Close the door!" Another voice came from inside.
She closed the door lightly, left a small slit, put her eyes on the slit, and saw Lu Yi staring at the slit without blinking, facing her...
She had no choice but to cover up the door and made a gesture to Yang Yue. Yang Yue understood, took two porcelain cups from the table and threw one to her. The two of them pressed the glass against the door, holding their breaths and listening to the movement inside.
"How can you..." Gao Qing's detective was about to pull them apart.
"Shh!" Jin Xiachao hurriedly made a silent gesture and said in a low voice, "It's the Shangguan Hall Master of the Wu'an Gang, so don't you worry about the safety of Lord Lu? What if there is an accident?"
Gao Qing couldn't say that he wasn't worried, but their approach was really out of date. He was hesitating, and the two of them continued to stick to the door for a long time.
At this time, Lu Yi's voice came from inside: "Gao Qing, if the two of them go overboard, they will be thrown into the lake for me to feed the fish and shrimp."
"Follow your orders!"
Gao Qing replied in a deep voice, his eyes slowly swept over the two of them.
This summer, Yang Yue was also very acquainted with each other. He smiled and took a few steps away, putting the porcelain cup back on the table.
The green tea water ripples slightly as the ship undulates.
"I've checked the Wu'an Gang's files over the years, and at least they've done a clean job on the surface. You, the hall master, have contributed to this." Lu Yifeng took a sip of tea lightly.
Shangguanxi smiled slightly: "What we originally did was legitimate business."
"But as far as I know, you guys got a share from the Salt Gang, and the underground banks in Jiangning, Yangzhou, and Changzhou don't seem to be so clean."
"I'm afraid there may be some misunderstandings in this. Wu An has a great career in helping the family, and it is inevitable that villains will be jealous and make rumors." Shangguan Xi looked at Lu Yi and said with a smile, "When you first land in Yangzhou, don't listen to villains. I have always been loyal to the imperial court, and this kind of violation of the law will not be touched.”
"This kind of thing, as long as no one investigates, it's always calm..." Lu Yi said with a warm face, as if remembering something, "By the way, there is something that needs to be returned to the original owner." He took out an item from the pocket in his belt, Put it on the table.
A round and smooth pearl with a small piece of twisted silver thread on it - seeing this, Shangguan Xi did not take it, although her complexion was still as usual, her eyes suddenly sharpened.
"Young gang master's kung fu is good, but his temper is a little bit quicker. You and him have been childhood sweethearts, and they have learned skills from the same apprentice. I can understand all of this," Lu Yi said slowly, "... However, fried It's still a bit too much to mention the punishment for the Prosecutor."
Shangguan Xi's eyes darkened, and she said sternly, "How can I not understand what the lord is talking about?"
"Since you don't understand it, why don't I ask your little helper to talk about it."
Lu Yi didn't mean to force it, got up quickly, and was about to go out.
Shangguanxi's back was stiff, and after a while, she stood up suddenly, shot from behind to Lu Yi's shoulder, and said sharply, "Hold on!"
Hearing the movement behind him, Lu Yi turned sideways to avoid her inquiring. With a flutter of clothes, he spun towards her wrist, and was pushed back by Shangguan Xi... In the small room, the two of you came and went, fists and palms. Staggered, because Lu Yi was determined to try her martial arts skills, she did not use all her strength, but instead sank like a trap, which attracted her to use her martial arts step by step.
After fighting several tricks, Shangguan Xi knew that he was by no means his opponent, but he couldn't escape.
"This little Puquan makes you very handsome. Unfortunately, as the hall master, you have too many things to worry about. This move of the blue bird and red scarf makes it not fast enough." He bent into a fist, his fist was like a phoenix, and hit her temple.
The punching style was fierce, Shangguan Xi couldn't dodge in time, knocked over the table, and knocked the tea cup over the ground.
At the moment when Lu Yi's hand was about to touch her forehead, the other hand grabbed her waist in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.
