9. Xinjiabao (catch insects)

Not far from the city is the post station, and the horses are ready. Chen Guangming is very depressed when he sees that attitude, he will definitely not be able to escape today.

The two pieces of silver on his body had been left for the beggars in the dilapidated temple. Chen Guangming thought that he would have to rely on Mr. Tang on the way, and he couldn't help but feel more depressed.

"Let's go, stay at Xinjiabao for one night first." Tang Ou said, "Why are you sighing? I'm helping you so much, are you reluctant?"

"It's not unwilling." Chen Guangming climbed onto the horse and whispered, "But I always feel that you have ulterior motives."

Tang Ou didn't say anything and walked straight forward.

Chen Guangming followed him closely, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he followed him all the way.

Xinjiabao is located outside Qing'an City. It is not far away, but there is no shortcut to reach. It is only half a mile away, but it has to go around a big bend and walk more than ten miles. The Yulan River passes between Qing'an City and Xinjiabao, which is the narrowest section. There are countless spike iron bars on both sides of the straits, each guarding themselves. Xinjiabao is a major sect in the martial arts world, and Qing'an City is a key military corps, dependent on each other and vigilant of each other. Soldiers and soldiers with different patrol in their respective camps. Looking at the bridge, it is very strict.

Chen Guangming entered the city from the other end that day and did not enter this bridge. Tang Ou led him to the long bridge, and he suddenly saw silver sails dotted, the river water sparkled, and a heron rose and fell from the line of water and sky. The fisherman's song was faint, and his heart couldn't help but relax, and his steps slowed down.

Tang Ou walked to the bridge and looked back. He found that he and the horse were slowly circling around the bridge, looking at the left and the right, and then stopped and waited for him.

Chen Guangming grew up in the mountains. The river in Laochuan Village is small and narrow, and it is not as powerful as the Yulan River. He looked for a while, stared at Xinjiabao and stared at him.

I vaguely felt that Jiang and the fort were familiar with each other, but I couldn't tell where they were familiar.

He thought for a moment, thinking that he had come here to cheat with Fang Dazao before, but because he was too young, he forgot this reason. This reason was very convincing. He wanted to be full even when he saw that he was full, so he turned his horse's head and ran towards Tang Ou.

"How did you find me?" Chen Guangming couldn't help but ask Tang Ou, "Why can you escape from there so quickly?"

"Escape? Who do you think I am?" Tang Ou smiled, "The wife of the county magistrate is an old friend of my mother. My father has been in Qing'an City for decades and is naturally very familiar with the county magistrate. You think why I didn't go to get the cloth by myself, just because the county magistrate and his wife know me. If you know that the cloth was lost by the Tang family, you will naturally talk to my father or mother. In this way, my father will naturally know that his birthday gift was lost due to poor storage, and my mother will also know that the flower worker she left behind was a liar."

"...In order to hide it from my parents, let me be a target?" Chen Guangming said angrily.

Tang Ou glanced at him immediately and said Lei Ran: "Stop pretending, you know you are very happy when you have this opportunity. Don't think I can't see it."

He continued: "After the county magistrate found out that it was me, I told him that I was entrusted by Shaoyi Alliance to investigate a habitual fraud. The habitual fraud stole this cloth from the Wang cloth shop and bought it in your house. Now he is planning to cheat Feitianjin back and sell it again, which is very hateful."

He said it normally, but Chen Guangming was surprised.

Chen Guangming didn't dare to shout, for fear of attracting the people from Xinjiabao for Liu Shushu. However, after walking around the yard, he could not see any trace of Liu Shushu.

"Aunt Liu, don't joke with me." Chen Guangming bowed to the void repeatedly, "This piece of cloth is related to my life, but I must not joke."

He mumbled for a while before someone gently patted his shoulder from behind.

Because Chen Qing learned art from Liu Shushu, and Liu Shushu and Fang Dazao are familiar with each other, Chen Guangming had seen Liu Shushu several times. Liu Shushu should be thirty years old, but her appearance is still pretty and beautiful, just like a 28-year-old girl. Fang Dazao privately told Chen Guangming that she loved Liu Shushu very much. But at this moment she had changed her face, and she was still wearing the ordinary dress of the maid of Xinjiabao. Chen Guangming found that she was the maid who had just taken her to the guest room, and she called herself "Cuicui" delicately, and was speechless for a moment.

"It's ugly, right?" Liu Shushu said regretfully, "There is no way. There are not many beautiful girls in Xinjiabao, and they are too eye-catching. I can only choose one that is neither good nor bad."

Chen Guangming was too lazy to get close to her: "Aunt Liu, go find Xiaoqing and don't make me happy, return the cloth to me."

"No." Liu Shushu smiled giggled, "Isn't that cloth made by the first-class Weaver Girl from the Shenzhi Mansion? There are only two pieces in the world. My wife will naturally have to touch such a treasure."

Chen Guangming was stunned.

"You little thing, have you forgotten all the skills of Dajuana? You can cheat if you are not sure about anything." Liu Shushu glared at him, "If I hadn't been interested in Feitianjin and had been waiting for an opportunity to move around the lady, I wouldn't have found you. Miss Yunyun would have woken up long ago. If I hadn't helped you knock her out, I'm afraid you would have been exposed."

Chen Guangming suddenly realized: I was glad that I was lucky before, but it turned out that Liu Shushu had dealt with the unstable factors for him.

He hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Aunt Liu, thank you Aunt Liu."

"Then the young master of the Tang family is interesting." Liu Shushu smiled, "He doesn't seem to be angry with you? Where did the little guy know such a good person?"

Chen Guangming: "...It's really good, but he's so terrible."

Chen Guangming told Liu Shushu about his meridians and Qingyang's heart method. When Liu Shushu heard this, he hurriedly grabbed his wrist and took his pulse: "Xin Muyun said there is help?"

"Tang Ou also seems to think that Qingyang's heart method is useful." Chen Guangming said, "He told me that Xinbao's mastery of medical skills should be correct."

However, Liu Shushu's face showed a strange look.

"Xin Muyun?" she whispered, "Chen Guangming, maybe I'm thinking too much, but don't you think this Xinjiabao is very strange?"

“What’s strange?”

"There is no elderly servant." Liu Shushu said.

Chen Guangming smiled and said, "This is not surprising. Didn't there be a fire in Xinjiabao ten years ago? It is said that many people died. In the past ten years, the owner of Xinjiabao alone managed Xinjiabao, so naturally he was not old."
