MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 48

An Ruochen walked down the stairs slowly, looking around while walking. I really didn't see anyone caring about her actions. When I came downstairs, I heard Xiao Er welcoming guests in the hall: "Mr. Min, why are you back? Did you drop something?"

"I thought about taking an eight-treasure duck home, but I forgot to buy it." Mr. Min said.

Xiao Er laughed, and politely asked Mr. Min to wait a while, and he went to the kitchen to make one quickly.

An Ruochen glanced at Mr. Min, and then left Zhaofu Restaurant.

Mr. Min didn't look at her at all, and after she left, he pursed his lips slightly. It's not clear what An Ruochen means by running in and walking around, who is she looking for?

Mr. Min didn't like the feeling of being unclear about the situation, which made him uneasy. It would be great if An Ruofang was in his hands, it would be a bargaining chip anyway. It's a pity that money is hard to buy and I knew it earlier.

An Ruochen hired a carriage and rushed back to Ziyun Tower. She needed to see the general, and she needed to report right away.

Bell, she found the bell.

What Zhao Jiahua told her was this.

Not Feng'an County, not Pinxiang Restaurant, but the bell of Zhaofu Restaurant.

An Ruochen ran into Longda's yard. I was a little dumbfounded when I entered, there were a lot of people in the courtyard. Two teams of guards lined up, as if they had just been ordered. An Ruochen looked around the room, there were two guards packing Long Da's bags, and Li Mingyu, the Chief Shi, was reporting to Long Da.

Seeing An Ruochen's probe, Li Mingyu asked, "What's the matter with An Ruochen?"

An Ruochen held her breath, concealed her impatience, walked in calmly and saluted, and said, "Is the general about to leave? I'll come over to see if there is anything missing."

Li Mingyu frowned, and said, "Why don't Manager An come back after I finish my report with the general."

An Ruochen hastily saluted and left.

Li Mingyu was in charge of all the official paperwork between the military and the county guard, patrol arrangements, military chores, etc., and had a little overlap with An Ruochen, the manager, in his usual official duties. He pays attention to rules, and he doesn't like An Ruochen who sneaked into the Ziyun Tower for no reason, and usually prefers to deal with Fang Guanshi. Li Mingyu usually receives the case files when they are sent over, and he also manages the military newspaper orders. Thinking that Li Mingyu was involved in Jiang Song's investigation of the traitor today, he was also hurrying up to discuss with Long Da.

To avoid suspicion, An Ruochen stood a little far outside the door. You can't hear their voices discussing matters, but you can see them clearly.

Li Mingyu's expression was extremely serious, and he kept talking. Long Da listened carefully, occasionally raising his head to look at An Ruochen.

That look reassured her.

An Ruochen watched and waited, but suddenly he was not in a hurry.

There are traitors in the Ziyun Building and traitors in the army. The traitor took the risk of revealing his identity to kill the spies who went to Feng'an County, and the result was that Xie Gang went in person. Xi Zuo didn't want to stop them from investigating Pinxianglou, on the contrary, they wanted Xie Gang to go in person.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain!

Because they knew the general was leaving too.

What they really want to prevent is the discovery of the secrets in Zhonglan City. They really wanted to achieve the purpose of delaying time, but it was not to delay the time to go to Feng'an County, but to delay the time to return to Zhonglan City.

Leads will be destroyed.

An Ruochen's heart was pounding.

No wonder she couldn't see Zhao Jiahua anymore.

[I am the clue. Remember every word I say. 】

Long Dahu looked up at her again. An Ruochen smiled at him as if nothing had happened. Li Mingyu suddenly looked at her, and An Ruochen also smiled at him.

Something must be done, otherwise it will be too late when Master Xie or General Long come back.

The general said she was a girl with ideas. The general praised her. She has an idea.

Finally, Long Da and Li Mingyu finished their discussion and waved to her. An Ruochen walked in. Li Mingyu took a file of paperwork but did not leave, and the two guards in Long's house were still there.

"What's the matter?" Long Da asked her.

"Nothing, I just want to ask the general if there is anything missing before he leaves."

Long Da looked at her, and she smiled courteously.

"There is no shortage of things." Long Dao said. He didn't continue, as if giving her a chance to speak.

"Then I wish the general a smooth journey." An Ruochen said, "I will obey the general's instructions and investigate Zhao Jiahua's case after Mr. Xie returns, and I will never act without authorization."

Long Da looked at her again, nodded: "That's good."

An Ruochen thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know where the general is going, do you want to bring some books for entertainment?"

As soon as these words came out, all the men in the room cast strange glances at her. The army is depressed, and all men are men. When they are stationed in the camp, many people will secretly bring some spring picture booklets to relieve their anger. The soldiers pass them around quietly, and the generals often turn a blind eye. New pictures and new brochures to please the generals.

These things are well known in the military. How could An Ruochen know. She found that she was suddenly stared at by everyone, and she was surprised, but Long Dashi said calmly: "There are books on the art of war in the battalion."

The guard turned his head quickly and was very busy, as if he hadn't heard anyone speak.

Li Mingyu frowned, and cast another reproachful glance at An Ruochen.

An Ruochen was puzzled, but let's ignore that, let's talk about the business first: "You can also study and study other books such as general military deeds."

Long Day raised his brows: "Oh. Got it."

He looked at Li Mingyu and was about to stare at An Ruochen again, but he couldn't hold back, and argued for her: "What Manager An said is all serious."

An Ruochen nodded sharply, yes, although there is suspicion of flattery, it is indeed a serious book... Wait, everyone's reaction just now, don't you generally think it is serious? An Ruochen looked suspiciously at this and then at that, Li Mingyu suddenly wanted to go out, and the guards became even busier.

An Ruochen frowned, too suspicious. General, what books are all in your army secretly reading?

Long Dayi poked her eyebrows: "It's a mess."

An Ruochen gasped in pain, and rubbed the space between her brows, it's obvious that you messed up, but she is a dignified woman.

At this moment, Zhao Jiahua also took a deep breath in pain, and someone grabbed her wrist forcefully. She took a deep breath and looked at Liu Ze in front of her.

Liu Ze stared at her with fierce eyes, completely different from the gentleness in front of others, but his voice was very soft: "What did you do, lady."

Zhao Jiahua looked puzzled, and asked pitifully: "I was imprisoned here by you, what else could I do? Master, what happened and why did you imprison me? Has Yin'er been found?"

"Imprisonment?" Liu Ze said, "Where have you seen such a comfortable imprisonment? If you didn't do stupid things, I wouldn't be forced to do so."

Comfortable? Zhao Jiahua sneered in his heart.

This is not her bedroom, but a secret room. The room is quite big, with tables, chairs, beds, screens, etc. all the necessary household items are available, and the things are also quite exquisite. But the house has no windows, only a door leading to the outside. A small window with a bar on the door. Zhao Jiahua dragged a chair and climbed up to have a look. There was a hallway outside the house, with torches lit, it was dark and gloomy, and the air was a bit stuffy. She guessed it was underground.

After returning from the yamen, Liu Ze questioned her. She insisted that An Ruochen did something, and she begged Liu Ze to deal with An Ruochen and get her daughter back.

But Liu Ze didn't believe her. She cried a lot, hugged Liu Ze and begged him to get her daughter back. But that didn't work for Liu, he doubted her, although he had no idea what she had done or what she was doing.

"Before I figure it out, I need to make sure that nothing will happen to you again." After Liu Ze said this, Zhao Jiahua only felt a pain in his neck, and then he didn't know anything. When she woke up again, she found herself alone in this strange room.

Zhao Jiahua didn't panic, she checked the environment carefully and sat down. This was the worst situation she had expected. If she was lucky, she should be able to do more things, but Liu didn't give her a chance. Reporting to the official is a risky move, she knows, but it has to be done.

At this time, Liu Ze's expression made her feel quite happy, but she still had to pretend that she didn't know anything. "I was too impulsive to report to the official, but I was afraid. My daughter just disappeared like this. You are not here. If you don't report to the official, what can I do? The prefect is a wise and good official, and he will make decisions for us. .Then An Ruochen is a member of General Long, how can ordinary people get her."

"Why did she take Yin'er away for no reason?!" Liu Ze yelled angrily, "Now that things are going on, you still have to pretend."

"If you don't check, how do you know that she didn't do it, how do you know that she did it for no reason?"

Liu Ze was furious, grabbed her by the neck, and pressed her against the wall.

With a sound of "boom", the back of Zhao Jiahua's head hurt, and her neck tightened. She instinctively grabbed Liu Ze's wrist and breathed in forcefully.

"Don't lie anymore, don't anger me." Liu Ze lowered his voice and said every word.

Zhao Jiahua looked into his eyes and looked at his expression: "Since Mr. Xiang refuses to believe anything, I really don't know what else to say."

"When you reported to the official, why did you mention the casino?"

"The two families often move around, so naturally they have to ask about the child's whereabouts. Now that they have gone, they will naturally explain it in the testimony."

"You did it on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately made An Ruochen suspicious and wanted her to keep an eye on us. She came to ask me, and even went to the casino to put on a show."

"How could I do it on purpose? It's her own suspicion. It has nothing to do with me."

"You will kill us." Liu Ze stared at her with a sad face.

Zhao Jiahua blinked, innocent and at a loss: "How to kill? Our precious daughter is lost, we look for her, so we killed ourselves?"

"She's not my daughter." Liu Ze roared out of control.

He panted hard and stared at Zhao Jiahua.

Zhao Jiahua looked at him slowly turning cold. Cold with understanding and contempt.

"Then whose daughter is she?" Zhao Jiahua asked softly.

Liu Ze stared at her without speaking.

"You want to kill her, don't you?" Zhao Jiahua asked again.

Liu Ze gritted his teeth, and the hand holding her neck froze.

"Or, killing her would be a good result. Maybe you'll sell her, let the prostitute sell her as far away as possible, to a remote place, to a brothel, to a brothel, wherever It doesn't matter, as long as she suffers and suffers, doesn't it?"

"She's a bastard! You lied to me! I like you so much, but you lied to me!" Unable to hide it anymore, and no longer wanting to pretend, Liu Ze gritted his teeth and yelled, "You lied to me!"

Zhao Jiahua couldn't restrain her anger anymore, she roared: "I lied to you?! You beast with a human face and a heart! When you showed me your love for me, I told you that I was waiting for Mr. Zhao. I like him, and he is also happy. Me, he will redeem me. I told you! What happened to you! You sent someone to intercept and kill him halfway, pretending to be a robber and robbing him, and then hired matchmaker Xu to deceive me with sweet words. I waited and waited , I couldn’t wait for him, I was sad and desperate, and the nanny in the building kept bullying me, and I couldn’t stay in the building any longer, so I followed Mrs. Xu. I said to myself, since I chose you, I will do it wholeheartedly. You. You are the one who is deeply affectionate, never forgets me, has a big heart, doesn't care about my past, doesn't care about my love for others, it was you who saved me from fire and water at that time. I am grateful to you. But everything turned out to be a conspiracy. "

Liu Ze was taken aback, subconsciously let go, and took a step back.

When Zhao Jiahua talked about the excitement, tears welled up in his eyes. "I won't lie to you, let me tell you the truth. I didn't expect to be pregnant, but at that time I had already arrived in Zhonglan City, and we had already married. I don't know how to tell you. I wanted to speak several times, wanted to I asked you to divorce me, and I took my child to live by myself, but I didn't even think about how to say it. I cherish the stable life, and I don't want you to be sad. But in the end I decided to say it. I thought about the wording, and I said it again I practiced it all over the place. But before I could speak, I accidentally discovered that Matchmaker Xu was afraid of you. I found out that you were not as kind as you appeared on the surface. You secretly cooperated with the casino to kill people. So I was afraid, and I was afraid to speak out I angered you, and I was afraid that my life would be lost, and I was even more afraid that you would hurt my child. So I kept it a secret."

"Where is Yin'er?"

"died."
