MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 67

Mrs. Jingyuan glanced at the door of the side courtyard, and turned back to the front yard. Later that day, Mrs. Jingyuan saw off the last pilgrim and went to the jujube tree lantern next to the vegetable garden to pick up the letter. The name of the person was written on the letter The location and time, this is the task for her.

Jingyuan sat in the room and read the letter for a long time, carefully feeling the feeling in her heart. It seemed that she hadn't killed anyone for a long time, and she felt uncomfortable all over, unspeakably uncomfortable. She burned the letter, took out her sword and rubbed it carefully.

It's just that after killing someone, it's another kind of discomfort.

An Ruoxi met An Ruochen at Zhaofu Restaurant. This was the first meeting between the two after the turmoil in the Liu Mansion.

An Ruoxi looked a little nervous, An Ruochen looked at her calmly. For this younger sister, she still can't rest assured. But she took advantage of her, and she was still willing to help her with the things they talked about before. I can't say that sisters love each other deeply, but maybe I feel a little guilty.

"Are you really thinking about marrying to another county?" An Ruochen asked.

An Ruoxi nodded, and couldn't help saying angry words: "Thanks to my sister, my reputation in Zhonglan City has grown a bit."

An Ruochen took a sip of tea, and really didn't want to argue with her. She said: "Have you heard about recruiting the proprietress of Fu Restaurant?"

"Is it a secret job for her husband? It's spread all over the city, how can you not hear about it?"

"She was married to another county alone, and something happened. She called every day unresponsible, and the land was not working. This is still a fine work, and the government can investigate and punish it severely. If she does some small crimes that are not illegal, she is often beaten, scolded and insulted. There is no mother's family." What should I do if someone takes care of me?"

An Ruoxi frowned, and became angry again: "Sister, don't you want to help me? It's useless to see me, is it?"

"It's not very useful. It's true. It's not good to marry in another county. Think about my mother. Her family is in another county. If something happens, she has no one to rely on. Your mother is a neighboring county in this county. She often goes back to her mother's house to walk around." , No, it's pretty good." An Ruochen really didn't think much about it, and calculated the marriages she had seen, and it was true.

But An Ruoxi was in a hurry: "What is your mother, my mother, is this turning a corner and scolding my mother for bullying your mother? What's the matter with her mother's family? Your mother is so good, everyone doesn't like her. No matter what my mother is, she has helped our family a lot. My mother has contributed a lot to our family's success today. You only speak sarcastic remarks and hold resentment. Have you ever thought about the situation of others? I Why do you want to marry in another county? Don’t you know clearly? Two days ago, Mr. Qian came again and repeated those words again. What’s the matter? What’s wrong with your sister? Have you lost your mind?"

An Ruochen frowned: "Speak well."

"Why don't I talk properly. It's useless for you to despise me. Let me tell you, I'm really useful. Fourth aunt wants me to poison you and avenge fourth sister's blood hatred. Have I done it? If not With me, Fourth Aunt might find someone else to do it, or she might try to harm you herself. I also kindly tipped you off, and my kindness didn’t really hurt you.”

"You're kind if you don't harm me?" An Ruochen glared at her, "Why is your family's standard of kindness so low?"

"It's better than being snobby and kicking me away because I'm useless."

"Have I kicked you? It's not that seeing several girls suffer unmarried, let me remind you in advance. You can make up your own mind. Don't forget, no one can help you after you get married. Even husbands The family broke your leg and tortured you, that is also a housework."

"You can't pick a good one first." An Ruoxi's voice became louder.

"Who knows people from other counties, who knows if it's good or not. Look at Boss Liu of Zhaofu Restaurant, how is it? What's the result?"

An Ruoxi thought for a while, and her arrogance suddenly withered. "Well, you have to marry after all. Our women's life is like this. At home, they are at the mercy of their parents, and when married, they are at the mercy of their husband's family. Parents don't have to choose, and the husband's family hopes to choose a better one. "An Ruoxi pouted, "I have to try. Let me tell you, I am really kind. Master Qian has never given up. He knows every family in this county. Wherever I marry, he will come over to hang out." You also told me to talk to you about something, you are also worried. The fourth aunt also came to visit, and today I bought a new drug, you go and give your sister some to let her taste. "

An Ruochen: "..."

"You don't find it annoying, but I do."

An Ruochen sighed: "I just want to remind you again. If you have made up your mind, please give me the horoscope. I will find a way to help you."

An Ruoxi's eyes lit up: "Really?" He quickly reported his horoscope.

An Ruochen wrote it down, and said to her: "Your mother's attitude, you have to take care of it. Parents' orders, matchmaker's words, even the general can't interfere. I can pay attention to you when you are looking for a matchmaker in another county. You are a good family, but in the end whether the marriage will be successful or not depends on what your father and your mother want. We both understand that on the other side of your father, you have a good chance of winning this matter if you win over your mother and coax her to help you."

An Ruoxi nodded: "Of course I understand this, I will agree with my mother." An Ruoxi could not help pursing her lips as she answered, thinking that her mother favored her younger brother and wanted to secure An's pride. For the mother, the son is the one to rely on.

An Ruochen said again: "Also, just to remind you, the prefect is going to run the Merchant Shipping Department. It will be done in a few days, and it is said that it is a New Year's feast to show off and celebrate. Regarding the matter of the restaurant and Jubao Gambling Shop, I have obtained the evidence from there. Isn’t Dad’s batch of goods a little unclean? "

An Ruoxi was startled: "Is this really true?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't daddy make a lot of connections in the yamen, just ask him to find out."

An Ruoxi frowned.

An Ruochen said again: "If it were me, I would act first and sue the Merchant Shipping Department for bullying the people and forcing them to pay money to protect the goods. Even though the prefect issued a law to block the customs and trade, the Commercial Shipping Department said that as long as the money is paid Customs clearance for the release of goods. Those who do business, all of which are their lives and hard-earned money, are naturally led away by the nose. When their brains get hot and they do something stupid, they give the money to the bank as a bribe. This is also a last resort, and I dared to be angry afterwards, but now I heard that the prefect is willing to make decisions for the people, so I appealed to expose the crimes committed by the Merchant Shipping Division and beg the Lord to uphold justice. In this way, although I may pay some fines, I will not be sued by this case. implicated, corrupted, collaborating with the enemy and treason."

An Ruoxi looked at her suspiciously: "Are you so kind?"

An Ruochen shook her head: "I'm sorry. It's just that I can't leave Zhonglan City. A younger sister comes to me from time to time crying and complaining that she wants to marry a good family. She doesn't mind it, but I do."

An Ruoxi was choked, put on a face and left.

An Ruochen ordered another box of snacks, chatted with Zhao Jiahua, and then left with the box of snacks. After walking a few steps outside, she felt that someone was watching her. Lu Zheng and Tian Qingchang followed her secretly to protect her, so she wouldn't feel this way, so she glanced quietly, only to see that it was Chang Shi Li Mingyu outside the restaurant. He stared at himself in a shop. Seeing that An Ruochen looked over, he turned around and took the goods and talked to the shopkeeper as if nothing had happened.

An Ruochen frowned, and turned to look for Lu Zheng's figure. Today he came out with himself. Lu was drinking tea at a tea stand, and when he saw her asking with her eyes, he shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness. An Ruochen shook her head in her heart, but didn't take it seriously. She was only thinking about the dim sum, and thought that she must put the dim sum in the general's room right away when she went back this time. After learning to ride a horse last time and being punished to stand, she forgot about the snacks. When she thought about it, she went back to the other side of the stables to look for it. The groom said that the box was always there, and they didn't know whose it was, so they shared it.

An Ruochen's heartache must not be forgotten this time, and the general must eat it.

Li Mingyu saw An Ruochen walking a little further away, and saw Lu Zheng also leaving. He put down his things and continued to follow from a distance. He had asked Lu Zheng Tianqing that An Ruochen didn't like to take maids with her. She was free to come and go in the Ziyun Building, and no one followed her. They only protected her when she went out. And the people she went out to meet, from Li Mingyu's point of view, were really suspicious. But the general believed her, and Li Mingyu felt that it was extremely inappropriate.

An Ruochen stopped suddenly, she was looking at the gadgets at the roadside stalls. Li Mingyu avoided in the alley next to him. Just as he was about to probe An Ruochen's movements, suddenly a strange voice sounded behind him: "An Ruochen is a meticulous worker."

Li Mingyu was startled, and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but the voice said: "Don't turn around, I'll leave right away, you won't have a chance to catch her again."

"Who are you?"

"People who know her details."

"Careful work?" Li Mingyu's heart was beating wildly, "Are you Mr. Xie?"

"Is there really Mr. Xie?" the man asked back.

Li Mingyu suddenly felt cold all over.

"Who has seen Mr. Jie? Who has heard of this name? Only An Ruochen, right?"

Li Mingyu searched desperately in his mind, yes, only An Ruochen. In all the files and records he had read, the one who mentioned this name was An Ruochen. It was she who said that she overheard Matchmaker Xu conspiring with Mr. Xie, and she said that she used Mr. Xie's name to threaten Matchmaker Xu to surrender to General Long. It was An Ruochen all along. As for the other witnesses and related persons arrested, all they know are Mr. Min.

"Isn't Mr. Min the last person you want?" The man seemed to have mind reading skills, and expressed Li Mingyu's doubts.

Li Mingyu tried his best to calm down, but he didn't dare to turn his head back. He only asked, "Who are you? Mr. Min?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that An Ruochen is scarier than you imagined. Why did she get into Ziyun Tower smoothly? She's a merchant's daughter who lives in a boudoir and has no knowledge. How did Matchmaker Xu die? She committed suicide? She was killed by Mr. Xie? But no one has ever seen Mr. Xie, but An Ruochen wandered all over the city. How did she know General Long? How did General Long treat her well? If you are interested, why do you think that she can help catch the spy?"

Li Mingyu had inquired about it, but he hadn't paid attention to it before, but occasionally heard gossip, so he simply inquired about it. How did you meet? What a coincidence. Why are you interested? Because she overheard that Mr. Jie was conspiring with Matchmaker Xu. How did you get into Ziyun Building? Because Matchmaker Xu died and her younger sister disappeared, she said that the secret agent would deal with her.

Li Mingyu closed his eyes, it was Mr. Xie's presence that pushed An Ruochen to General Long's side. But apart from her, no one has ever seen Mr. Xie. Now that the secret organization has been cracked, it is only known that Mr. Min is the one leading the contact. This person is right, where did Mr. Xie come from? And this An Ruochen is always thinking of ways to please the general, clinging to the general all day long.

"With a weak woman, how can she defeat Liu Ze alone?" That person was still stimulating Li Mingyu's doubts.

"What do you want?" Li Mingyu asked.

"She is not kind, and I am naturally unrighteous. She wants to kick me away by climbing a high branch, and let me take the blame. That is not acceptable. She has done a great job, deceived the adults, and thought she was safe. Someone has to come Expose her."

Li Mingyu was a little excited, feeling his blood heat up: "How to expose it?"

"Don't worry, I have conditions. I have evidence that An Ruochen and the An family are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country..."

"Anjia." Li Mingyu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that when An Ruochen destroyed Liu Ze's faction, he kept in touch with Anjia.

"That's right, not only Anjia, but also other dignitaries are helping her. In the plan, she entered Ziyun Tower, confuses General Long, and obtains information. I have evidence for these. But I have a condition."
