Cheng Yu went back into the room and opened the envelope.Cheng Yu's eyes came into the eyes of the beautiful and delicate lower case script.

The letter said that Cheng Yu would call the door again tomorrow morning, and then a doorman would open the door for Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu took out the letter that Taoist Taoist gave him last night from his bosom again.Comparing the handwriting of the two letters, the former is vigorous and the latter is delicate, obviously written by the two.

Hearing that the man said that he was a handsome young man, Cheng Yu's mind immediately thought of the young man who wandered in front of Li's house in the evening.

Cheng Yu gradually felt that things were a little complicated, but until now, he could only follow what the letter said, and try again at Li's house tomorrow.

That night Cheng Yu slept very restlessly and had many dreams.After a while, I dreamed that Zhao Jinshu was pressed to the ground by several small officials. One person grabbed Zhao Jinshu's ear, and the other took a sharp dagger and cut off Zhao Jinshu's ear. Blood flowed all over his body. The python robe was also stained with blood, and Zhao Jinshu lay on the ground rolling and howling in pain.

A few officials who couldn't see their faces laughed loudly.

Suddenly, the scene turned to the dark dungeon, and a face in a red official robe appeared enlarged in front of Cheng Yu's eyes. His face was ashen, and his voice was gloomy and cold.

"So what if Mr. Cheng is of noble birth, it's not just a piece of mud on the sole of my shoe! I'll crush you to death now, just like crushing an ant!"

Cheng Yu woke up from the dream, let out an "Ah!", and sat up suddenly from the bed.Wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.

Just at this time, the rooster in the backyard was crowing "oh, oh".

Cheng Yu felt relieved and fell down on the bed.He hadn't had this dream for a long time, and everything in the dream felt so real, as if Cheng Yu was still in that deep dungeon at this time.

Fortunately, fortunately, it was just a dream, and there was still room for redemption.

There was a knock on the door, and the shop clerk said: "Guest officer, are you okay! Breakfast is ready, guest officer, let's go downstairs and have some!" When he was downstairs just now, when he heard Cheng Yu's scream, he was afraid What happened, but I was too embarrassed to rush into the house directly, so I had to ask aloud.

Cheng Yu got up quickly, put on his clothes and said, "It's nothing, it was just a dream. I'll trouble you to put breakfast downstairs, and I'll go downstairs after washing up!"

"The guest officer has to move faster, the food will be cold after a while, and it will make you feel uncomfortable if you eat it!"

After that, Cheng Yu heard the sound of the boy coming downstairs.The buddy was right. When Cheng Yu got dressed and went downstairs, the porridge was already half cold.Fortunately, Cheng Yu has long been used to eating cold rice, so he didn't have the nerve to ask the waiter to bring a new bowl of hot porridge to eat up all the porridge.

Cheng Yu went out with the box on his back. There were not many pedestrians in the alley in the morning, but it might be because the place is remote.Cheng Yu thought about what was written in the letter, not daring to miss the hour.

As soon as he walked out of the alley, he turned to the main street of Nanping County.

The main street in Nanping County has been surrounded by people.Some yamen servants quickly dispersed the crowd.Leave an open space on the main street, the county magistrate, master secretary, and pawns in blue official robes stand side by side, facing the city gate, as if waiting for someone.

Cheng Yu felt a little surprised in his heart. Could it be that Nanping County is going to come to some kind of big shot.

At this time, Cheng Yu heard the excited voice of a young woman behind him.

"Ouch! Feng Lang will be here in a while. I heard that Feng Lang likes women in pink clothes. I changed one specially today. I don't know if Feng Lang will look at me more in a while!"

Cheng Yu looked back, and he really saw a girl about twenty-eight years old, holding a chrysanthemum in one hand, and stroking the messy hair beside her ear with the other. The girl's skin lined with a pink shirt was a little softer.

Cheng Yu explored carefully in his mind, Feng Lang, Feng Lang.This name is strangely familiar, he seems to have heard it somewhere.Suddenly, a person's appearance flashed in his mind.

The one in the world who can bear this name must be General Feng's eldest son, Feng Ningxiang.

Speaking of which, although Feng Ningxiang is the queen, he doesn't like to wield guns and clubs.Preferring literature and history books, good at Danqing, coupled with his handsome appearance, he became famous all over the world when he was a teenager.When he was in Kyoto, Fan Feng Ningxiang had been in and out of restaurants and teahouses.On the second day, the girls and young women who heard the sound came to pay their respects.

Later, when Feng Ningxiang married the only daughter of a tall family, all the handkerchiefs in Kyoto were robbed for a while, and it is said that all of them were used by young girls and young women to wipe their tears.

The girl looked at the city gate eagerly, squeezed the chrysanthemum in her hand, and said to the female companion beside her, "Do you think Feng Lang thinks we are poor here and won't come?"

The woman next to her was also wearing a pink shirt, and said comfortingly: "No, Feng Lang said it was today, so it must be today. Otherwise, the county master would not let us wear this pink dress!"

It turned out that the county magistrate was afraid that Feng Ningxiang would be popular in the capital and he would be neglected here, so he specially asked these girls to change Feng Ningping's favor.Even so, the magistrate was still afraid of neglecting this well-known Feng Lang, so he deliberately asked people to renovate the store a few days in advance, and the street was swept so that people could be seen.

Cheng Yu thought that those government servants went to Qingteng Village to collect taxes yesterday, a period of time earlier than in previous years. It is possible that they were trying to collect money to clean up Feng Ningping.

Not long after, two figures appeared outside the city gate.Cheng Yu's head exploded with a bang.

I saw two green horses walking slowly from the city gate, and they rode side by side.Feng Ning has a thin face and is dressed in white, which is pleasing to the eye.

Pei Zifu was dressed in formal sackcloth, his eyes were cold, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.She looks much younger than in Cheng Yu's memory, so I can understand it.The Pei Zifu that Cheng Yu saw when he was in prison was 30 years younger, although the ten-year-old Pei Zifu is not as imposing as he will be in the future.But when Cheng Yu saw him, his body couldn't help shaking.The dream I had last night came back to my mind.

"Ah! Feng Lang is here! Feng Lang is here!"

One person's voice sounded first.Cheng Yu followed the voice and was taken aback.The young man he saw in front of the Li Mansion yesterday evening was holding a white chrysanthemum, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was waving his hands vigorously.

The boy shouted this voice and started the beginning.The girls around threw their handkerchiefs and chrysanthemums to Feng Ningxiang one after another.

"Ah! Feng Lang smiled at me! I'm so happy!"

"Nonsense! He didn't smile at you, he obviously smiled at me! Feng Lang, look here!"

"Ah, he saw me..."

"The movement of dismounting the horse is also so handsome. He is such a gentle and elegant young man, and he is even smiling at the magistrate!"

Cheng Yu covered his ears, and limped out of the crowd, leaving the noise behind him.

When they arrived at the alley in Li's house, the old man selling sesame seed cakes was picking his nostrils with his fingers, while the young man was still standing at the corner of Li's house, looking into the courtyard.

Cheng Yu froze for a moment, as if he was dazzled.

The old man at the side saw Cheng Yu and wiped his hands.He took two biscuits and handed them to Cheng Yu: "Master Dao, you didn't eat this morning! Do you want to buy two more?"

Cheng Yu politely declined.

Stepped up the steps and knocked on the door.After a while, the door was pushed open by someone from inside.

The one who opened the door was a maid about twelve or thirteen years old. Cheng Yu cupped his hands and bowed to the girl.

Cheng Yu followed the girl into Li's residence, walked around several corridors, and entered a warm pavilion.Walking into the Nuan Pavilion, he saw a pale man standing beside the bed, and on the bed lay the unknown Mr. Li.The man gave a slight salute when he saw Cheng come in, "I hope the Taoist priest will see, Xiao Ke's mother was still at home yesterday. My mother doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, so she must have been rude to the Taoist priest. I will apologize to the Taoist priest!"

Cheng Yu limped and stopped the young master of the Li family who was about to bow down, and as soon as he held his wrist, he realized that the young master of the Li family had thin wrist bones, his body was light, and there was not much flesh.

Li Ling quickly took two steps back.

Cheng Yu was slightly surprised, thinking that maybe this young man was just shy and afraid of being in contact with others.Thinking of the rumors he heard from the old sesame seed seller yesterday evening, he thought it might be because of his wife's death that made this young man feel sad and thin.

Cheng Yu walked to the bed and saw that Master Li's face was pale and his lips were blue.

"Excuse me, young master, how long has the master been sick?" Although Li Ling also wrote about the general condition of the master of the Li family in the letter, Cheng Yu always felt that it would be safe to ask in person.

Li Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Master Daoist, my father has been suffering from this disease for half a month. My father has always been in good health, and he has not had any symptoms before. Countless famous doctors have been invited, but there is nothing serious!"

Cheng Yu nodded slightly, and said again: "Mr. Li, please allow me to look around!"

Li Ling nodded slightly, and called the girl who led Cheng Yu just now.Cheng Yu has learned the basics of feng shui from Taoist Taoist these years. The Li family is the richest man in Anqing, so the house he chose is naturally the best.

After walking for a while, he suddenly heard the cry of a child, and Cheng Yu looked towards the cry.

I saw a child about two years old lying on the ground crying loudly.

Cheng Yu stepped forward and hugged the child in his arms, the child raised his face and stopped crying.Looking at Cheng Yu, smiles appeared on his small face.

"Father~" The child's voice was not loud, but it startled the servant girl behind him.

He quickly hugged the child from Cheng Yu's hand: "Young master, you have admitted to the wrong person. Your father is not here, and if you keep yelling at others, your grandma will be angry!"

The boy looked at the maid, buried his head in the maid's arms, "Mother~"

The maid had a sore nose, patted the boy's back with her hands, and sang a lullaby softly, and the boy fell asleep in her arms after a while.

Cheng Yu said: "Then you should send the young master back to sleep in the house first, the poor Taoist has seen it almost, then go back and answer Mr. Li!"

Back in the Nuan Pavilion, there was no sign of Li Ling.The servant standing by the side stepped forward: "The young master went to the study and told the young one to wait here!"

Cheng Yu followed the boy to the direction of the study. Cheng Yu had just stepped through the threshold when he saw Li Ling holding a wolf hair and was lost in thought.

Seeing Cheng Yu coming in, he hurriedly put down his pen, bowed to Cheng Yu and said, "Master, what's wrong with my Feng Shui?"

Cheng Yu naturally praised the feng shui of the Li family's residence, and then said: "From what I can see, your father may be haunted by something bad!"

Li Ling looked a little complicated, and said to Cheng Yu: "The Taoist priest has any way to save him, as long as the Taoist priest can save my father, I will be very grateful!"

Cheng Yu looked at Li Ling's expression carefully, and said: "It's just some resentment, you don't have to let it go to your heart, it's just that the poor Taoist has to do a ritual. Before the ritual, you have to bathe and change clothes, burn incense and clean your mouth. When the poor Taoist goes back, he will prepare , I will choose an auspicious time for the master to drive away the disaster."

Li Ling said: "There is a guest room in the house. If the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, he can take a bath and change clothes in the humble house. If the Taoist priest needs anything, just ask for it and buy it together!"

Cheng Yu quickly declined, "That's unnecessary, Ling Ci doesn't like Taoist priests. I don't want to embarrass you!"

Li Ling saw that he couldn't keep him, so he didn't want to keep him any longer, but he ordered the servant to pack a few taels of silver for Cheng Yu.As expected of the richest man in Anqing, any money tipped casually is enough to cover the expenses of a family of four in Qingteng Village for a year.

Cheng Yu came out of Li's mansion, and took a special look to see if the boy who looked like Wang Fushi was still there.Sure enough, Cheng Yu saw the boy squatting on the ground in the corner.From time to time, he sneaked a glance at Cheng Yu, and when he saw Cheng Yu looking over, he lowered his head in a little panic.

Cheng Yu pretended not to see it and went out of the alley.But he didn't go back to the inn, but went back to the street where Feng Ningxiang and Pei Zifu entered the city.

At this time, the chrysanthemums and handkerchiefs discarded on the street had already been cleaned up by the county master.Along this road, Cheng Yu walked to the county government gate in a short while.Just as he was about to step forward, a government official came to stop him.

"Master Feng is here to inspect today, and he will not handle the case. We will talk about something big tomorrow!"

Cheng Yu had no choice but to go back resentfully, walking halfway.Suddenly something hit the back of the head and rolled to the side.When Cheng Yu saw something, it turned out to be a hardened steamed bun.

Cheng Yu picked up the steamed bun and glanced around, but saw no suspicious person.When he was about to leave, he was smashed again.This time it hit the back.

Cheng Yu turned his head and met the person who just raised his hand.

The man was dressed in tattered clothes like rags, and a pair of worn shoes on his feet.Her hair was tied in locks and fell over her shoulders.He was spitting out a piece of melon seed peel from his mouth "poof, poof", he looked like a beggar, it should be said that he was a beggar.

Cheng Yu's pupils shrank sharply.

Seeing that he was catching him, the beggar shyly withdrew his hand.Cheng Yu squeezed the steamed bun tightly: "This steamed bun is hard, I'll treat you to something delicious!"

The beggar grabbed Cheng Yu's arm and said with a smile, "Okay!"

Cheng Yu led the beggar all the way to the inn, hesitant to talk all the way.It was the disheveled beggar who spoke first.

"Brother Daochang, why do you invite me to eat good food!"

Cheng Yu said: "Look at you, brother, he looks very good, he looks a lot like a friend of mine!"

The beggar seemed to be afraid that Cheng Yu would run away, and he held Cheng Yu's clothes tightly with his hands all the way.

When he arrived at the inn, Xiao Er immediately greeted him.When approaching Cheng Yu and the others, he immediately pinched his nose tightly.

"Daozhang, you have done a good job!"

Cheng Yu gave a light "hmm", turned around and said, "I don't know what your brother's name is?"

The beggar was taken aback for a moment, his expression a little unpredictable, and he said for a while, "My name is Axiu!"

The two stepped into the store, Cheng Yu ordered Xiaoer to prepare some hot water and bring it upstairs, and then went out to buy some clothes for Axiu.

When I went upstairs, I was just about to open the door when I heard the sound of "wow, wow" water inside.

Cheng Yu was startled, and quickly stopped.The people in the door seemed to hear the movement, and asked, "Is it Brother Daochang?"

Cheng Yu said: "I just went outside to give..." Cheng Yu paused, not knowing what to call it.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the inn, and a team of yamen servants entered the inn.

The waiter in the shop quickly rubbed his hands, and stepped forward: "How come the masters are free to come to the little one today?"

All the yamen servants found a place to sit down, and the waiter hurriedly took the teapot and poured tea for several yamen servants.Those yamen servants seemed to be on official business, so they only drank a sip of tea and left.

Before leaving, he told Xiao Er to be careful and tell the Yamen if he encountered any strange people.

The door suddenly opened from the inside, and Cheng Yu only saw a piece of white skin, like snow.

Axiu took the clothes Cheng Yu handed over and put them on her body.

"Brother You Lao paid for me, huh? How did Brother Daochang know that I like to wear blue shirts?"

Cheng Yu hurriedly closed the door, afraid that anyone would see what was going on in the room at this time, even though the inn was deserted at the moment and only the two of them were left, he said to the people in the room: "Put on your clothes and go downstairs for dinner!"

Cheng Yu ordered a few side dishes and a pot of wine.Thinking that there are still things to do in the evening, I changed the wine to tea.
