Liu Zhiyuan said: "Liu Fu, there is something I have to entrust you to handle, which is the matter of Zhang Qingqing's disappearance. I know that you have a good personal relationship with Cao County Lieutenant, so you have to start from him and find out more about it.

If necessary, you can inform me and I will let Wuji assist you. Regardless of whether Zhang Qingqing is a member of my Liu family, even for those women who disappeared inexplicably, I also want to get to the bottom of the whole matter. Liu Fu

, You don’t have to worry about the foreign affairs these days, and you don’t have to worry about the foreign affairs inside the Dexian Building anymore. Just go and investigate Zhang Qingqing’s affairs.”

Liu Zhiyuan's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and Chen Bing also saw it, and his impression of him became much better.

Liu Fu does not have as many small thoughts as Liu Zhong. As long as it is something Erlangjun orders, he will definitely do it. His thoughts are much purer and his work is much calmer. Liu Zhiyuan has always valued his ability to do things.

, so such rather difficult matters were directly thrown to Liu Fu.

Liu Fu didn't say much else. He thought that as long as it was given by Erlangjun, I would act accordingly. As for other foreign affairs, Erlangjun must also have arrangements, so I don't need to worry too much. After thinking about this, he replied: "Okay,

I will handle the formalities. The county captain Cao had already been to Dexian Tower before. I said that Qin’s family had compensated for the losses, and gave Yi some tea money and sent her away. I guess Yi and the other gentlemen were

It's a good idea to go to He's Teahouse to drink tea and listen to singing. That's where Yi often goes. I'll go there to look for her." After saying this, Liu Fu bowed to Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Bing and then exited the small pavilion.

Liu Zhiyuan placed the ordered tea in front of Chen Bing again. Chen Bing did not drink anymore. He glanced at Liu Zhiyuan and asked: "Big devil, I think you know it well in your heart. Liu who knows martial arts should be checking these things."

It would be best for Wuji to go, so why do you let Liu Fu do it?"

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "Liu Fu has a close personal relationship with Cao County Lieutenant. He can use this as an entry point to find out many details that others cannot find. What is the current attitude of the government towards this matter, whether to investigate or not;

If you investigate, then to what extent have you investigated and how many clues have you mastered? If you don’t investigate, then why don’t you investigate? These are not things that can be solved with high martial arts skills. What is needed is connections and means. Liu Fu is the best person around me to do this.

People who do things like this." Then she smiled and said: "Don't think that because Wuji has great martial arts, he can do whatever he wants with his hands and eyes. Apart from his martial arts, he is no different from ordinary people."

Chen Bing's little face turned slightly red when he was retorted by him. He agreed with Liu Zhiyuan's statement in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat and said firmly: "You have such a strong partner by your side and you don't need it. Why don't you just waste it by covering it up? I don't think you have any plans to do it well."

Check it out."

When Chen Bing talked about the change in her demeanor when she met the trafficker, Liu Zhiyuan saw it and knew that she was still frightened. He took some loose tea and prepared to cook one for himself, saying:

"I know Er Niang is anxious and wants to catch those people as soon as possible so as to rescue the kidnapped girl. But you also know that she is too anxious to eat hot tofu. Since Cao County Lieutenant keeps it secret, the water there may be very muddy, even if

Even I don’t dare to dive in unprepared.”

Liu Zhiyuan's words seemed to confirm the suspicion that Chen Bing had told Li Yunniang on the way back to Huahu Village from the county seat. She raised her head and squinted her eyes and said, "What do you mean..."

Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand, interrupted her, and said: "I didn't mean anything. I have no clue now. It's all speculation. No matter how much you and I think about it now, it's useless. We'd better wait until Liu Fu finds out something." Just plan it."

Chen Bing nodded and took a sip of the tea soup in front of her. She glanced at the sky outside the window. The originally slanting sunlight had now turned into an egg-yellow sunset. She knew that Liu Zhiyuan was right, but she still felt anxious, thinking Today's investigation will yield results tomorrow, and the traffickers can be caught. The idea is wonderful, but it is absolutely impossible. As the sounds of laughter and fun among Yuan Liu and the female actors faded in and out downstairs, , Chen Bing was also very embarrassed when she heard this. She sighed slightly in her heart and said: "Zhixing, it's getting late, I have to go back. Maybe I can get home before dark. Thank you for your hospitality today."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and asked: "How do you take the five hundred strings?"

Chen Bing had already thought about it and said: "I will only take 50 guan back today, and the other 450 guan will be left with you first. When I want it, I can come and pick it up."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Aren't you afraid that I will swallow your four hundred and fifty sticks?"

After today's contact between the two, Chen Bing no longer had the fear of Liu Zhiyuan that he had when they first met. Although he didn't know much about him, he trusted him in his heart. He also smiled and teased: "Big brother." The devil's family has a great business, how could they care about my four hundred and fifty coins? I can trust you based on your Dexian Building sign. And you and I have signed a letter, so I'm not worried that you will bully me. I’m a little girl.”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Second mother, please don't rush back now. Today, Yang Yuanwai spent 5,000 guan to buy this red-tailed whitewater fish, and Qin Dong's family paid another 500 guan to compensate for the loss of my Dexian Building. Today I have a total of 5,500 guan in my account. Except for the 500 guan from buying your fish, I actually made 5,000 guan. But you caught this fish, and you also have a share of the 5,000 guan. How about this? You and I will add two to one to make five, each of us will get half of the money. What do you think?"

Chen Bing was confused, shook his head like a rattle, and quickly refused: "How can it be done? If you can buy fish for five hundred guan, I will make a lot of money and be satisfied. No merit, no reward, these 5,000 guan." You earned the money based on your ability, how can I take 2,500 money from you? Although I am from the countryside, I still understand the principles of life, and I will never accept this money! If you know what to do, don’t ask for it. It’s difficult for me.”

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being. I'll let someone get the fifty guan for you first. You don't have to walk back today. I'm afraid you'll have to carry the 50 guan on your back." It’s extremely difficult to walk for more than an hour. I’ll ask the carriage to take you back, so don’t refuse.”

Liu Zhiyuan ordered the boy waiting at the door of the small pavilion and said: "Go and ask Liu Zhong to prepare the carriage, load the fifty coins on the carriage, and teach Liu San to drive Er Niang home." That boy is also a smart person. After hearing Liu Zhiyuan's words, he ran downstairs as fast as he could.

Chen Bing thought to herself that it would be very hard to walk back with fifty guan on her back. Just now she thought she could return to the village before dark, but she didn't consider that she would have to carry money with her. Carrying this money would have to wait until she got home anyway. The mother who had just been harmed yesterday was really worried. It couldn't be too late today. Besides, if she met someone who blocked her way, it would be difficult to deal with the money on her back. She made up her mind and did not refuse. , he wished Liu Zhiyuan a thousand blessings and thanked him: "Thank you Zhixing for your kindness, then I would rather obey you." After saying that, he smiled at Liu Zhiyuan.

Although Chen Bing's smile was light, the curve of the corners of her mouth was as perfect as a crescent moon. The aura of agility and elegance exuding from her bones had already lingered in Liu Zhiyuan's heart. Liu Zhiyuan did not dare to look any further, so he stepped aside and said: "

You don’t have to thank me, don’t say that you and I know each other. Even if we don’t, as long as I know, I won’t let you, a woman, walk home alone at night. Okay, Er Niang, just follow me downstairs.

.”

Chen Bing stopped talking and followed Liu Zhiyuan downstairs. At this time, the hall was full of people and the sound of singing and singing could be heard all the time. Doctors in the store shuttled among the people, delivering various meals and refreshments.

, but there are still diners coming in outside the store, and the doctors are still greeting them enthusiastically. There are also many female girls coming and going, performing history, drama, and singing lyrics one after another. The sound of the singing pipes is noisy, and the crowd is extremely lively.

The most talked-about thing among the diners is the fish sales at Dexian Building today. Some say that the young owner of Dexian Building is extremely skilled in martial arts, and some say that the girl selling fish is very clever and has a lot of tricks, such as Butler Qin, and others.

It is said that the girl performed in the same show with the owner of Dexian House to earn money by singing, so that more people would come to Dexian House to eat. These diners talked to each other, had a good time, drank fine wine, and were so happy.

Chen Bing didn't like the excitement. He lowered his head and quickly followed Liu Zhiyuan through the place. Unexpectedly, he was still recognized by some diners. Someone shouted: "Hey, hey, isn't this the little lady selling fish today?"

"

Another person said: "That's her? How old is she? She looks thin and weak, not like the heroine described by Brother A Cai."

A person on the side said: "You know what the hell, have you ever heard of the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance? This little lady is amazing. What kind of place is that Deyi Building? Compared with the Palace of Hell, it is no less generous. And what about Butler Qin?

What kind of person is he? Even the ox-headed and horse-faced man is ashamed of himself. Let alone a little lady, even a seven-foot man would have to peel off his skin when he enters this proud building. But this little lady darts left and right.

, punched in front and kicked in the back, and knocked down all the boys in Deyilou, and that’s how I ended up selling fish to Dexianlou.”

The other person on the left sneered and spat, "You should stop farting. Did you see that young lady knock down the young man from Deyilou? Hahaha, I don't know where you heard that from, you idiot.

This little lady looks so shriveled that she even knocked down the young boy from Deyilou. Even if you put a chicken in front of her, she might not be able to catch it. Don't use those hearsay words to make nonsense here, which will make people laugh. "

The man from before didn't feel happy about it. He slammed the table and shouted, "Who do you think is the best?!"

The man sneered several times and said in a strange tone: "Who else here can be a good guy? If you don't bring it upon yourself, wouldn't it be you?"

The man before snorted coldly, said nothing, and punched the man on the head. The man didn't show any weakness. Although his head hurt, he still punched him on the shoulder.

The people who came with him quickly pulled the two of them apart to offer some words of advice. Some even squeezed over directly to see what the legendary little lady looked like.

Chen Bing felt even more embarrassed when the two of them made such a fuss. He pushed Liu Zhiyuan slightly from behind. Liu Zhiyuan looked back at Chen Bing and saw that her face was as red as a blush. He knew what was going on. He told the boy who followed him

With a wink, the boy was still confused and was following behind him at a loss. Liu Zhiyuan saw that the boy was so ignorant and felt angry. He raised his leg and was about to kick him. Liu Zhong, who squeezed in from the door, saw it clearly.

Busy stood between the two of them and scolded the young boy: "You blind thing, why don't you lead someone to get rid of the people crowding around you?! What are you doing in a daze? Go quickly!"

The boy finally understood. He was so frightened that he hurriedly took several boys and several doctors to separate the crowded crowd. The boys shouted loudly, while the doctor bent over and persuaded everyone diligently. Only then

No one was allowed to squeeze in. With the help of the servant, Liu Zhiyuan finally made a way out of the hall of Dexian Building, holding Chen Bing's sleeve.

After this commotion, both Liu Zhiyuan and Chen Bing were a little disgraced. They finally squeezed to the carriage. Liu Zhongxin said that he had just been promoted by Er Langjun when he encountered the scene just now, and that he had indeed been negligent in the arrangement.

He blamed himself and said, "It was really my omission just now. I didn't make proper arrangements. Erlangjun and the young lady were frightened. Please punish Erlangjun." After saying this, Liu Zhong bowed to the end.
