Chapter 119 The Bully on the Sandbar

It was Chu'er, because the handsome boy also saw Wang Shuo and ran over with excitement. Several people met not far from the camp gate.

Chu'er took the two of them to the reeds beside him and then fell to his knees all at once.

"Chu'er pays homage to Prince Wang, and he will never forget his life-saving grace!"

Wang Shuo trembled and helped Chu'er up, his face excited, and he didn't know what to say.

Licking the dog!

Liu Zhiyi complained in his heart.

Wang Shuo suddenly pointed at Liu Zhiyi: "This is the young master Liu Zhiyi who you often talk about."

Chu'er looked surprised: "You are Mr. Liu!"

Liu Zhiyi looked at a handsome man's face, and it was really hard to connect her with the beauty that made Wang Shuo obsessed with.

He nodded to Chu'er, turned around and asked, "Brother Wang, is Chu'er disguised? Is it your method?"

Liu Zhiyi was very curious. Wang Shuo knew how to disguise him, but he didn't know that he was so clever. Half a month had passed since Chu'er killed someone and fled. Can Wang Shuo's disguise last for so long?

Wang Shu shook his head and said, "This is Miss Chu'er's disguise herself. She is very talented. I have taught her how to draw. She can learn it as soon as she learns it! Using skin as paper and blood as ink, drawing a man's face is enough to make the fake real!"

Liu Zhiyi nodded, shocked. The painting is so magical that he can do this.

Chu'er was joking and laughing, drawing his fingers on his face, and suddenly a beautiful face appeared in front of the two of them.

He is indeed a beauty, and it is not surprising that Wang Shuo is obsessed with it. It is hard to say that as long as he looks good, even the son of the richest man, he may become a licker.

Liu Zhiyi didn't want to get involved. Anyway, he found it and his mission was completed.

After asking a few questions, Chu'er answered them one by one.

One is a legend about the water monster. Chu'er said that she was not very clear. She only knew that the water was not peaceful these days, and there were often waves surging. Today, the navy came and became calm. As for the water bandits, Chu'er asserted that if someone pretended to be a water bandit, it must be Ma Shouqing, the bully of Liangshui Village.

As for the reason, Chu'er only said that the Ma family did many evil deeds, and was a dominant one of Liangshui Village. The ancestors of the Ma family were also refugees who fled. After several generations, the Ma family was rich and the villagers had difficulty in making a living. They borrowed the debts of the Ma family's Hell King. Their family still had the money they owe when they were grandfathers. The villagers could not afford to pay back the money, but the Ma family was not so easy to talk to and often used people to pay off the debts. When Chu'er's sisters were sold to the capital by the Ma family when they were young.

Liu Zhiyi frowned. He did despise the Ma family's actions, but there was no obvious evidence to say that the Ma family pretended to be a water bandit.

Besides the matter of the water bandits, Liu Zhiyi did not inquire about Chu'er's other matters. Chu'er's current identity is still a wanted criminal. Liu Zhiyi is not a constable, and he does not have such a strong sense of justice, so he does not meddle in other people's business and does not want to be involved. His impression of Chu'er is not good, but more of a disgust. Whether this woman bewitches Wang Shuo or kills people, Liu Zhiyi is unacceptable, and he has no power to arrest her, nor does he want to have a deep relationship.

At this time, since she had been found, Liu Zhiyi didn't want to stay for too long.

Say goodbye to Wang Shu: "Since Miss Chu'er has been found, I will leave!"

Wang Shu stopped him: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I'll give you it!"

Liu Zhiyi declined: "I'll go find the IOU boat in the lieutenant. I believe he will give me the face of my Lingnan Prince's Mansion. You can find Miss Chu'er so easily, so stay here to accompany her more."

Wang Shuo shook his head: "There is a beginning and an end. Brother Liu helped me find Chu'er. I can't be so unrighteous. Brother Liu came on my boat, so he naturally had to take my boat away."

Seeing that Wang Shuo insisted, Liu Zhiyi felt it was troublesome to borrow a boat, so he got on the arrow ship with him and returned.

After getting on the boat, Wang Shuo explained other reasons.

It turned out that he sent Liu Zhiyi away, not that he didn't want to stay with Chu'er, but there were officers and soldiers garrisons on the sandbank. Chu'er's identity was sensitive, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the army. He planned to wait until the army left before he went to find Chu'er.

Liu Zhiyi understood Wang Shuo's concerns very well. This is the safest way to do it. Although Chu'er can disguise, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no detective masters in the army and can see through her disguise, so it is better not to be too eye-catching.

Liu Zhiyi asked again: "What are your plans for the future? Do you live in seclusion with Chu'er on the sandbank? Or should you take her back to Jiangnan?"

If Wang Shu planned to live in seclusion with Chu'er, Liu Zhiyi planned to persuade him that Chu'er was not a good man, and he was too scheming, and he could not be controlled by a simple talent like Wang Shu. If Chu'er is necessary, then go back to Jiangnan. After all, the Wang family has a huge influence in Jiangnan, so hiding someone is not a problem.

As a result, Wang Shuo replied: "How can my great years be spent on the love between children? Since I came to Xiajing, of course I have to do something."

Liu Zhiyi sighed: "You and I have Chu'er, and have been removed from fame and fortune, which is a pity!"

If Wang Shu really had ambitions, with his talent and Wang family background, his official career would be very long. Perhaps he could do something, but unfortunately everything is ruined now.

Wang Shuo smiled and said, "Famousness is like a cloud for me. Taking the imperial examination is just a fulfillment of my father and brother's wishes. My heart is about painting. For me, kings, princes, princes, and ministers are not as good as three feet of painting. I have visited Mr. Li Tang, the chief of the Academy of Painting, and he promised to accept me to study painting. After I settled down, I will go to the Academy of Painting to report. The court has only a few of the two-character ranks of Jinshi, and in the future there may be more masters of painting who can depict the country."

Liu Zhiyi nodded. There was a painting academy in Daxia, which was ranked alongside the Tai Hospital and Taichang Temple. It was created during the Taizu period. It was strange that Xia Taizu did not like painting, singing and dancing and other pleasures, but founded the painting academy. It is said that the disciples of Dan Qingzi, the master of painting, helped Xia Taizu draw maps, which made him win many battles, and finally he made a special appointment to build the painting academy.

Xiajing Painting Academy gathered famous painters in the world. Wang Shuo loves painting and studying in the Painting Academy is a good choice. For a wealthy family like him, it is a good choice to engage in art. Although he lost his title of Jinshi and had no chance in the officialdom, his life can still be very exciting, and he has just begun.

The two were talking and laughing, and the arrow ship sailed away from the sandbank, heading upstream, and slowly left Liangshui Village.

After walking for half a day, there were storms and waves. When I turned around, I saw the direction of Liangshui Village. The dark clouds rolled. Wang Shu became in a heavy mood and said nothing along the way.

When he arrived at Hekou Town, the wind and rain were severe, and he had to stop the boat and wait. Wang Shuo kept looking towards Liangshui Village. He could not see anything clearly between ten miles.

After sheltering from the wind for a night, early the next morning, a large number of dilapidated warships sailed into Hekou Town. It turned out to be the navy he had met on the sandbank yesterday.

A group of soldiers were covered in dust and asked, and only after they found out where Liangshui Village was located. Yesterday, huge waves suddenly surging, destroying their water village. The navy captain ordered the anchor to be raised, but the fleet was disbanded, half sailing downstream, and half forced to return to the upper reaches.

When Wang Shu heard the news, he immediately felt at ease with Chu'er's comfort and decided to return to Liangshui Village to check. Liu Zhiyi couldn't persuade him, so he could only let him leave, telling him to find a way to go back to Xiajing by himself, and let Wang Shu be careful.

Liu Zhiyi always believed that he did not have much deep friendship with Wang Shu, but after Wang Shu left, he suddenly felt a little guilty, as if he left his friend alone at the critical moment and felt guilty of being unrighteous.

At this point, Liu Zhiyi did not chase after him, but did not leave, but waited quietly in Hekou Town. He could see the dark clouds rolling downstream, and the terrifying lightning illuminated the night sky from time to time, and the thunderstorm fell all night.

The next morning, the wind was calm.

Liu Zhiyi waited for a day, but not Wang Shuo's arrow ship.

On the third day, merchant ships taking refuge in Hekou Town began to sail one after another because a ship came from downstream to tell everyone that the weather was calm.

Liu Zhiyi felt uneasy and left, and he was really uneasy. He happened to be in a hotel and came to say goodbye. Liu Zhiyi thought about it and decided to take the duck boat to Liangshui Village again.

The wind and waves were calm along the way, as if all the storms had passed, and the shores of Liangshui Village were in a mess. Strangely, the village was safe and sound. The wind and waves simply destroyed the navy's camp and did not rush to the center of the sandbank.

Liu Zhiyi felt even more uneasy, feeling that his premonition might have come true, so he got off the boat and went to the village to inquire.

A group of people were walking along the river. The leader was a young man in his twenties, wearing a sable fur, and two barefoot men were walking on the beach on the shore with difficulty. A group of thugs were walking along the beach, carrying sticks, swords and guns in their hands. While walking, they looked into the water, and walked downstream.

Liu Zhiyi stood aside and asked, "This young master is Liu Zhiyi, the Taixue School."

Although he knew that in this remote countryside, his name would probably not be known, but no one would know it. If he showed his identity as a student, the other party should give some convenience, at least he would be more enthusiastic.

Sure enough, the young master on the slide rod waved his hand, and the coolie who was holding the slide rod stopped.

"Student, what's your business?"

The young master asked.

Liu Zhiyi asked: "Young Master, have you ever seen an outsider, so tall, handsome, wearing white clothes, come to the village yesterday?"

Liu Zhiyi gestured at Wang Shuo's height.

The young master groaned, waved his hand, and continued to walk.

Seeing this, Liu Zhiyi felt that they should know something, so he walked forward with the slider and asked.

"This young master. That young master is from the Wang family in Jiangnan and is also a friend. If the young master has seen him, I hope he will inform you."

The young master waved his hand impatiently, and his two knives came over immediately and threatened them with their swords.

"If you don't want to die, get out of here. Don't bother Master Ma!"

Young Master Ma? Could it be that he is a member of the bully Ma family? Liu Zhiyi thinks that this kind of outfit and such a place will not be wrong.

Judging from the other party's appearance, Liu Zhiyi felt that they should have something to do. Perhaps Wang Shu's disappearance was related to them, so he stopped asking more questions. Instead, he stood aside and watched them gradually enter the reeds on the shore and disappear.

Liu Zhiyi walked towards the village big strode, and he had to find out the news. Wang Shuo went to the sandbank, and his purpose was definitely not to cause trouble for the Ma family, but to find Chu'er's. If you find out where Chu'er's family is, you should be able to find Wang Shuo's whereabouts.

Chu'er's house is easy to find, and the third thatched hut at the entrance of the village is.

But there was no one in the hut, and there was no Chu'er or Wang Shuo.

An old mother next door saw Liu Zhiyi looking for someone, and couldn't help but sigh, called Liu Zhiyi over, and said something nervously.

Liu Zhiyi thanked the mother, turned around and ran quickly to the shore, looking anxious.
