Dew timid

There was commotion at the door, it was the refugees stranded in the city who saw the nobleman's carriage parked here and wanted to ask for a reward.

The child was dressed in patched clothes, his face was not very clean, dusty, leaning against the door, looking forward.

The people at the inn dodged Fu Chengci's gaze, strode over to pick up the broom next to him, and were about to drive him away.

"Get out, don't get stuck here!" The man threatened the child with a fierce face.

The child flinched, and rushed straight to Lu Yu's feet with an attitude of immortality, with tears in his eyes, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I beg you to give me some money! We, we haven't eaten for several days! "

Lu Yu couldn't bear to look outside, and saw many children, or women and children, all in ragged clothes. Some were beggars from Yucheng, and some were refugees from the south.

He looked at the guard on the side, who took out the money bag from his side and handed over the broken silver inside to the child.

After taking the broken silver, I was grateful again, and the people who had gathered before scattered away.

It's no wonder that Fu Chengci is so angry. This is the situation when he just entered Yucheng, the border of the south of the Yangtze River.

Seeing the few people who were not easy to be fooled by, the waiter looked like it was a cool autumn day, his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat unconsciously, he hesitated for a while without saying anything.

The sky outside is gradually dimming, with dark clouds, and the wind and rain are coming in the long night.

Hearing the wind, Lu Yong got out of the carriage with a cold face. He had a coquettish and magnificent appearance, and even the light blue meridian under the skin could be faintly seen on that overly fair face.The face under the morbid fairness is not a bony body, but a pair of straight long legs from the shoulders to the narrow waist, all of which reveal the young man's slender and strong physique.

Dressed in a soft brocade jacket, he glanced at the waiter behind the counter with eyes under his long eyelashes, his eyes were indescribably cold and determined: "Since the inn is not open for people, it should be closed! Ruan Dao!"

It was fierce and hot, and there was no chance for anyone to argue.

Xiao Er was shocked, different from the seriousness and coldness of the previous guests, the son who came down from behind revealed unscrupulous fierceness all over his body, just a look in his eyes made people tremble spontaneously.

But Fu Chengci's eyes fell on the man's waist, his eyes darkened, and as far as he could see, he felt that the belt seemed to be one finger wider.

Why did this man lose weight again in just two days? !

With a flash of his figure, Ruan Dao, who directly blocked Jiangbei King's eyes, responded quickly: "Young master, I am here."

The scorching sight was blocked, and Lu Qi couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. He looked at it carefully, scanning every layout in the inn inch by inch, as if he had finally made some important decision. , the voice was as usual and said leisurely: "Since this inn can't be occupied, it's good to close it. Just now when I came here, I passed by the magistrate, Ruan Dao, you go to inquire and say that since the inn is closed, we brothers can take it How about opening a restaurant."

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth slightly curled up, his eyes were clear, and he pulled out a silver ticket from his pocket with rare cooperation. The official seal was huge in value, and it would not be a problem if he really sold this inn.

Seeing a few people with a strong posture, the second child was scared immediately, and his voice was a little babbling: "A few... a few, it's really not that we don't do business on purpose... It's just, it's just that the street All the inns are like this!"

He was about to cry with tears in his eyes, but he felt a bit tragic.

Lu Yu also noticed the clues of the situation, dark light gushed from the depths of his gentle brows, and a sinking sea rose and fell: "What happened?"

Seeing that the few people refused to let it go, Xiaoer's heart sank and he said to them: "There is a flood in the south, and the refugees are running in the direction of the capital. They say they don't want to do business because they are afraid that the refugees will live in... ..."

Lu Yu said coldly, "The inn is open for business. Is this how you do business?"

Xiao Er wanted to refute, but seeing the guests in front of him, it was hard to get along with each other, and the few people around were more unofficial than each other, and his voice subconsciously became softer: "It's not that we don't do business, it's just that these individuals bully you." There are too many people. It is the inn after entering the city. After entering the city, you can see it. The shopkeeper is kind enough to open the door to do business. All the refugees who have no money come, and the shopkeeper Xinci also welcomes them all. Unexpectedly, that night, a person suddenly died of tuberculosis in the inn. The people on the same road did not know where they got the news, so they clung to the inn and insisted on staying in in groups of four or five. I heard that I thought I had good intentions, but I didn't know that I did something bad, and now my reputation is bad, and people around here can't help but detour.

This happened not only once, just a few days ago, there was another inn that took in two refugees who could afford to live in the inn. Unexpectedly, it was calculated by someone, and almost all the rooms were demolished, and the refugees entered. Yucheng, pick up the ground, we who run inns and restaurants are just small businesses, it’s really not enough to make others go through so much trouble..."

Lu Yu lowered his eyebrows, and his voice was already sullen: "Doesn't the local magistrate ignore this matter?"

"Take care!" There was a voice from outside the door, and the visitor bowed to them, "The magistrate has also sent people to take care of it a few times, but it has been passed down, and it has become that Yucheng uses officials to oppress people, and they all come here It’s impossible for all the poor people who are fleeing to be locked up in the dungeon.”

The man had a wry smile on his face, Xiao Er called him the shopkeeper.

Lu Qi looked at him, "Who is this?"

The shopkeeper raised his hand at the few people, with a bit of embarrassment in his smile: "My surname is Li. I have seen a few of you are very objective and demeanor. It is an honor for me to visit the shop. It's just that during this special period, please take care of me, Saner ! Take a few guests to the room."

Originally he was still talking about full customers, but after a few words, his attitude changed drastically. Either the shopkeeper was too knowledgeable about current affairs, or there was something hidden behind the words.

"Everyone follow me!" San'er took a bunch of keys and led them upstairs.

Sure enough, when they went up to the second floor, the rooms were empty, and there was no occupant in any of them.

It seems to be the case if it is paired with the talented clerk.

"Be careful after returning to the room, this Yucheng is not normal."

The sound of footsteps almost drowned Fu Chengci's voice, but the two people around him could hear it clearly.

Whether it's the inns that don't do business, the prefect who oppresses the people with officials, or the store's one-sided words, it's not normal.

"Let's finish this matter as soon as possible, and we have to hurry up."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, and after finishing his instructions in a low voice, they stopped in front of the first room and the casual guards went in to check.

Fu Chengci lightly clasped Lu Yong's wrist, and said lightly: "I see that the seventh young master just spoke plausibly, and his spirit is bright. I think the tiring journey of the journey is not a big problem for him. I will meet with the seventh young master tonight. Let's go to investigate together, what do you think of the Seventh Young Master?"

Lu Qi couldn't help pulling back his imprisoned wrist, and there was a red mark on the white wrist.

The words of refusal stuck in his throat, and he swallowed them back when he met the man's mocking gaze.Fu Chengci already had a lot of doubts about him, so it's hard to guarantee that this person won't be suspicious of anything again.

He nodded.

Ever since, the matter of the night was discussed in this way.

·

The night is dark and windy.

The two left the inn together, and Ruan Dao was already waiting outside, seeing someone hand over a map, "This is the map of Yucheng."

The three of them lit a fire book and observed the map of Yucheng on the dark streets. The drawings listed several major buildings in the city in detail, and the streets extending in all directions were clearly marked.

Lu Yong put away the drawings and asked, "You've got a lot of skill, where did you get it?"

Ruan Dao smiled a little embarrassedly: "It was stolen from the government office."

Lu Qi: ...well, you really have a lot of skills!

After the discussion, the two walked out of the path, and a row of shadows passed by in front of them. Fu Chengci quickly pulled the person back, but Lu Qi was caught off guard and bumped into the person's arms. It was the spice used to dye Fu Chengci's clothes.

The shadows of the two merged together. At first glance, they thought they were alone. Fu Chengci pressed his voice into a line next to his ear and said, "There is someone."

Lu Yong withdrew his half-astonishment, turned around and fixed his eyes on the figure overflowing the corner of the street.

"It seems that there is really a problem here, and I don't know what to do with guarding the street corner."

"Come with me."

Fu Chengci took Lu Yong's hand, and the two ran out from the back alley lightly, intending to go to the government office to see the situation.

The magistrate of Yucheng was surnamed Zeng, and he had been an official for more than ten years. Lu Yong knew little about him, but Fu Chengci had heard a little about him.

At night, except for the sound of uniform footsteps in the mansion, there was no other movement heard. The two of them lay on the eaves, and the number of people patrolling back and forth was twice that of the big Jiangbei palace.

Either Master Zeng was too afraid of death, or Yucheng really had many problems.

The government office is not completely silent, there is a faint light in a courtyard in the southeast corner.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he sneaked along the roof like this.

There was no one in the yard for a week, and the guards were only outside. Lu Qi gently peeled off the tiles on the roof, and the light leaked through the gaps.

Lu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in, "Doesn't that person look like the shopkeeper of Today's Inn?"

The face cannot be seen clearly, but the figure is similar, and the clothes have not changed.I guess that's it.

There were a few people sitting opposite Shopkeeper Li. If the people outside the courtyard were not guarding the dead, they might be the magistrate of Yucheng.

In the shadows of lights, no one noticed the two pairs of eyes above their heads that saw everything.

"Someone came to the city today, and his behavior is not like ordinary people. Could it be someone sent by the superior?" Shopkeeper Li humbly asked the opposite person for advice.

The rest of the people also nervously looked at the person in the main seat when they heard the words.

Hearing this, the voice of the person sitting in the main seat was loose and lazy: "If the imperial court really wants to send someone, it must be an unannounced visit. It may be some son parading the streets with such a big fanfare. Now that the important matter is urgent, don't get confused."

Shopkeeper Li raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, "What Mr. Zeng said is very true, then...do you want to send someone to watch this person?"

The man who was called Mr. Zeng took two sips of the tea in his hand, "Let's watch it first, don't make any mistakes, and I will feel at ease when I leave."

Shopkeeper Li hurriedly agreed, and Master Zeng suggested someone else.Anyway, it's not a critical moment.

Fu Chengci looked at him, and Lu Yong shook his head.

The rest of the people said some insignificant words again, but after listening for a while, Lu Qi didn't understand why, so he closed the tiles and turned his back.

Fu Chengci sneered: "There is really a problem in Yucheng, and it seems that the situation is not a small problem."

Lu Qi: "Go back first, tell the prince what happened, what to do with him is up to him."

The two jumped off the eaves, Lu Qi shook, and when he landed, his right ankle twisted slightly.

After walking two steps, the sore pain swept up along the ankle bone.

Fu Chengci squatted in front of him, "Come up!"

"what happened?"

"I sprained my ankle, do I have to jump back by myself?" Fu Chengci looked at him jokingly.

Lu Qi didn't want to wrong himself, nor did he want to have any close contact with him.

During the moment of his hesitation, Lu Qi only felt a figure enveloping him, enveloping him straight away, and immediately his waist tightened and he rose into the air.

He hugged the other party's neck subconsciously, and in the darkness, he couldn't see the blush spreading to the base of his ears.

Fu Chengci hugged the man horizontally in his arms, only to realize that the man was really thin. Not only was his waist wide by a finger, but the lightness felt like a gust of wind could take him away.

He had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Qi before, he piled all the shackles on this person, and vented endlessly between the beds.

People with sharp hearts dare not ask for it.

However, he can act recklessly against Lu Qi.

It's not that he didn't care about the consequences, but he felt that all this was unimportant to him, the mistakes he let go, and the harm he made were unimportant, because Lu Qi was also unimportant.

Why worry about unimportant things.

He lowered his head and bumped into a pair of Qing He's eyes, but at this moment, there was a rare burst of pity in his heart.
