The sunset is set, and the sunset is set again.

It was already the hour of You, and a ray of orange-red afterglow spread across the sparse leaves at the entrance of the thief Caosi's yamen.

Looking at the pile of books on the desk, he shook his head in pain. The scholar knew the world without going out. Although Wang Li was not a scholar, the report about the people in the Hefu was still sent to the desk like flowing water.

It has to be said that after Wang Li's rectification, Cao's efficiency was very high. In less than a day, with Zhu Tong and Tang Qing, more than ten brothers each submitted their own investigation records, ranging from two or three to seven or eight. However, most of them were things that were about smuggling the chicken skin. There was not much useful news, and Wang Li really couldn't get much interest.

It has been a long time since Sun Cai and Zhou Kang had no new news. Wang Li stood up and took two steps, stretched his arms, and quietly looked at the afterglow at the door.

The last message was two hours ago. Apart from the servants who bought vegetables, there was only one old servant in the entire Hefu. Even Helin did not take a step forward in the Hefu. It is said that Helin also claimed sick leave to the soldiers today.

There was no news, which showed that the old servant had not returned home yet. It was Sun Cai, Zhou Kang and the other two who were negligent and forgot to report, but was it that the old servant lost his way? Wang Li's heart moved, took off his coat from the rack and walked out.

"Sir, there is something wrong with the Xu family's wine shop!" A burst of rapid footsteps came, and Tang Qing shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the yamen.

"The Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged. The elk rose to his left but his eyes were not instant. I have told you that there is peace of mind whenever there is something big, and the sky cannot fall. Why are you panic?" Wang Li gave Tang Qing a blank look, took the note handed over, and took a quick look. The paper clearly stated: "He Zhongli, entered the museum at the moment, and did not leave."

He Zhongli, the old servant of He Mansion, sat in the Xu family's wine shop for two hours. Wang Li raised a sneer on his lips, and he complained about his sick leave and was bedridden. He actually went out to drink for two hours.

"Let's go, let's take a look!" Wang Li said with his coat on his shoulders.

"Yes, I will accompany the adults to the Xu family's restaurant!"

Wang Li stood up straight, turned his head, shook his fingers and smiled, "No, you took your brothers to the Xu family restaurant to continue staring, including Shopkeeper Xu, waiter and Zhongli, etc., and no one in the Xu family restaurant must be let go!"

Tang Qing paused: "Sir, where are you going?"

"Since the commander is ill, shouldn't I, as a colleague, go to visit me?" Wang Li walked out of the Siya and led the horse and jumped up. The long whip raised slightly, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang in the streets.

It was only two or three miles from the thief Cao Siya to Hefu. Wang Li rode on his horse and saw a few chess players sitting in front of Hefu from afar, guessing and selling wine.

Wang Li got off the horse and handed the reins to the wine seller. He gently whipped the hat of a tea drinker. The felt hat suddenly flew out, revealing a rough face. It was Sun Cai, but the wine seller was Zhou Kang.

"Sir, why are you here?" Sun Cai asked in shock as if he had just swallowed an egg.

"You two guys don't dress up, just put on a felt hat and came out. Are you not afraid that they won't know you?" Wang Li pointed at the two and laughed and scolded, and then said, "I have to go and visit me for a day with the commander. And I may have a cure and commander."

"Sir, do you still know medical skills?" Zhou Kang asked in surprise, but saw Wang Li glanced at him unhappy, "You can't go up and knock on the door?"

Zhou Kang looked embarrassed, touched his head, stepped forward to the gate of He Mansion, knocking on the door, making the door "bang bang" sound.

The door creaked open, and a head poked out from the door and asked, "Who?"

"Go and tell your family and lord, and I will say that I will come to visit you!" Wang Li didn't wait for the man to stop him, and directly pushed the door and broke in.

The servant actually walked around Wang Li, fell to the ground with a slam, and explained: "Sir,

My head of my family returned from out last night and felt cold and was bedridden. He really couldn't get up. I hope you forgive me!"

"Since you can't get up with me, I will go there by myself!" Wang Li glanced at the servant and said lightly, "It seems that Wang is coming at the right time. Wang's family has a lot of knowledge and happens to have a good prescription for wind and cold in his hand."

The servant didn't get up, but was still pounding on the ground and crawling on the road: "Sir, you can't go. This morning, the head of the family also asked the doctor for a medical treatment. The doctor said that the master of the family was a cold disease and was the most contagious, so he did not allow anyone to go."

"Wind and cold are in contact with others, and the hair is straight, and the skin is closed and hot. It's just wind and cold, but wind and cold evil enter the body." Wang Li smiled with his head, his eyes turned and gradually became cold, and his eyes stared at the servant coldly, "I came to visit my colleagues. What's your intention to stop me from saving your head repeatedly?"

"grown ups!"

"Get out!" Wang Li kicked the servant away and strode forward, "Do you still want to go to the prison to try my methods!"

The servant looked at Wang Li's back resentfulness, but heard a light cough in the room, and a voice came, "Sir, the fog outside the room is very cold. You are a huge body of gold. How can you stand under the eaves for a long time? He Miao, bring the adults in."

It was He Lin's voice that was less smooth and vigorous than last night, low and hoarse, and lacked energy.

He Miao took Wang Li and others to Helin's bedroom, but saw a curtain hanging on the bed. Through the curtain, you could see a person sitting against the wall, tightly wrapped in two quilts, and his body shivering spontaneously.

"Sir... I've made you laugh. I've been making fun of me last night with my brothers. When I came back... I accidentally felt the wind and cold... Cough cough!"

Wang Li took a step forward and opened the curtain. He saw that the man looked yellow, his eyes were dull, and he was weak when he spoke. Although his face was haggard, he was He Lin.

After touching Helin's forehead, he didn't have a fever: "It's okay, it's just the early stage of wind and cold. You told the servants to use green onion, some ginger, and three bowls of water to make a bowl, and take it while it's hot with brown sugar. I guarantee that you will be cured tomorrow."

It doesn't look like he pretends. Could it be that he and Lin are really infected with the cold? Or are he thinking too much? Wang Li put the curtain down and shook his head secretly, waved to Sun Cai and the others, and said, "I'll take care of you. After I recover from the illness, I will invite you to drink!"

"Thank you for visiting me. After I'm coughing... I'll definitely ask you to go to Luohong Pavilion to drink for a day."

"Well!" Wang Li nodded, walked out of the door, and was about to reach the door. Suddenly, his heart moved. The officials of this county knew that they never went to the fireworks place, so why did He Lin invite him to the Luohong Pavilion?

Are you confused? Wang Li suddenly turned his head, looked at the figure on the hospital bed, and said, "By the way, and commander, I said last night that I wanted to second you twenty soldiers. Do you think I will go?"

"Sir, please rest assured. I will select twenty people myself after I recover from the illness tomorrow... for my help! Cough... Cough!"

He Lin coughed twice again, but saw the curtain lifting again, Wang Li returned to the edge of the bed, his eyes like swords, and his words were cold and bing: "Who are you?"

He Lin looked at Wang Li in shock, his face trembled constantly, and suddenly laughed and said, "Sir, are you... joking with me? I'm... it's He Lin!"

"Yeah?"

Wang Li looked at Helin lightly and said, "How could the real commander not know that I never went to the fireworks place? How could the real commander not know that I didn't say about borrowing troops last night? How could the real commander not let the servants drink and not return? Who is you?"

"Sir... I'm just burning up today. My mind is covered in a mess. I can't remember everything... I'm too clear. Please forgive me." He Lin explained weakly, then pointed to his face and said, "Sir, look at this face... but... it's like a fake one!"

"The peaches grow on the well, and the plum trees grow next to the peach trees. The insects come to gnaw the peach roots, and the plum trees serve as peach zombies. The trees treat each other deeply, but the brothers still forget each other." Wang Li laughed and looked at He Lin coldly in an instant, "What a trick to Li Destiny!"

After saying that, he rushed to the head of the bed like a gust of wind. He pressed Helin's head with one hand, touched his neck and ears with the other hand for a moment, and felt a raised area, pulling it and tearing it hard, tearing the skin apart. However, Helin's face was not bloody, but a thin and vigorous face was exposed, with high cheekbones, straight nose bridge, and a wisp of goat whiskers under his chin, which was exactly the old servant of He family and Zhongli!

"Sir..." Before he could speak, he felt that his body had risen from the bed like a cloud and fog, falling heavily to the ground, and the sound came to an abrupt end.

He Lin, do you just want to run away now? A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Wang Li's mouth, and he snorted coldly at Sun Cai and the other two: "Take it!" It was like an eagle spreading its wings and rushing out, crossing the rockery, crossing the wall of the mansion, landing lightly on the horse. With a long shout, the war horse ran away like an arrow from the string.

...

In front of the Xu family’s wine shop.

Watching the sunset splash, the drinkers from the Xu family's wine shop walked out one after another. Zhu Tong and Tang Qing were walking back and forth, rubbing their hands constantly, their anxious expressions were beyond words.

"Brother Zhu, do you know when will the lord come?" Tang Qing frowned and asked anxiously, "It's going to get dark, and the drinkers are about to disperse. Could it be that we still have to watch here?"

"Shut up, how can I let my parents interfere in their actions? Since the adults have told me to stay here, we will nail it here like wooden wedges!" Zhu Tong glanced at Tang Qing and then asked, "Did you remember all the dispersed drinkers?"

Tang Qing smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, don't worry. Most of the drinkers in this Xu family's wine shop are from my hometown. I, Tang Qing, don't blow my eyes, but I can't forget them all. I can just scan the drinkers here and know that those are regular guests."

"Huh!"

While speaking, a man walked out of the Xu family's wine shop. The man was seven feet tall, round and wide, wearing a felt hat on his head obliquely covering his face. He only saw a large beard under his chin, a long thing on his back, but it was covered with cloth, and a big knife was straddled around his waist.

"This person has never been to the Xu family's restaurant, how could he come out there?" Tang Qing was stunned, but heard Zhu Tong sniff, "Look at this place, Brother Yu follow me and take a look." Zhu Tong put the vendor's clothes on his body, and walked a few steps, and then quietly fell behind the man.

"Tang Qing!" A sharp shout pulled Tang Qing back from his doubts. Tang Qing came back to his senses and saw a horse running from a distance. It was his immediate boss Wang Li.

"Sir!" Tang Qing hurriedly arched his fist.

"Well!" Wang Li gently pressed the horse's back, jumped off the horse, pointed a long whip in his hand, and shouted, "Order all the brothers to capture He Lin!"

"No!" Tang Qing put his hand in his mouth and blew it suddenly. A crisp whistle sounded. The street vendors, beggars, and dozens of people playing chess threw away the guys in their hands, took out a token from their pockets and hung them around their waists and rushed towards the Xu family wine shop.

When Wang Li and Tang Qing entered the store, the brothers Cao had already occupied the vital points such as the front and back doors of the Xu family's tavern. A man with a fat head and big ears was arguing with several brothers.

Seeing Wang Li and Tang Qing coming in, the shopkeeper shook the brothers away and greeted them happily, with a flattering smile on his face: "The two adults are here, and this store is in a far-reaching welcome. There are two elegant seats upstairs, so please move your jade toe."

Tang Qing whispered a few words in Wang Li's ear. Wang Li nodded, ignored the shopkeeper, but walked straight upstairs alone.

When the man saw Wang Li and Tang Qing coming up, he pointed directly behind the bamboo curtain and bowed and said:

"Report to the Lord, that person is with Zhongli!"
