Chapter 162: A Coveted Good Thing (Part 1)

The big men quickly surrounded a few people, and dozens of sharp blades glowed dazzlingly under the sunlight.

Xiao Bi narrowed her eyes, becoming more curious about Ruoshui City.

Wei's smelting and forging technology is definitely one of the best among today's powerful countries.

But even the Wei Dynasty did not have many truly good weapons. The commanders and generals of each army alone accounted for more than half of them.

Although Mr. Li has a special status in Ruoshui City, he is only the city lord's brother-in-law. How can an ordinary guard in the mansion use such high-quality weapons?

Of course, the true identity of these big men may not be ordinary guards of the Li Mansion, but the weapons they use are no worse than the swords of the Wei generals, which is really coveted.

Mr. Li did not panic when he saw several people. Even the two maids who were as delicate as flowers were only a little nervous and did not show any fear. There were some signs of cracking on the iceberg face.

He raised his hand to stop the big men's movements: "Master Yu, are you really named Yu?"

Huan Yu still waved the folding fan: "We just meet each other by chance. There is no difference between the surname Yu and the surname Zhang and Li."

Mr. Li sneered and said: "What a sharp tongue! Mr. Yu and his party suddenly appeared outside Ruoshui City today and deliberately played the flute to attract my attention. What is their purpose?"

Huan Yu said: "Brother Li's words are a bit unreasonable. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone can go outside Ruoshui City to join in the fun, why can't we go?

In other words, all the land and rivers outside Weoshui City belong to the Wei Dynasty.

People in the Wei Dynasty enjoy the scenery and play the flute in their own country, but they are considered to have impure motives. It is really hard to argue.

Besides, Brother Li, did you forget one thing? It was you who greeted me first.

As well as the brotherly courtesy and warm hospitality that follows, it is all your idea.

If we dig deeper, can I also ask Brother Li what his purpose is?"

Mr. Li's expression softened slightly: "Are you really not a spy from Wei?"

Huan Yu folded the folding fan and said, "The well water in Da Wei and Ruoshui City does not interfere with the river water. Why does Brother Li think so?"

"Since the well water does not interfere with the river water, then why are the official officials of the Wei Kingdom frequently spying outside Ruoshui City recently?"

"Although I am not a member of the government, I have heard about the recent cases of missing boys in Yiyang, Guangling and Lujiang counties.

I think those officials came here just to investigate the case, so they behaved like that.

With your status as Brother Li, you won’t even worry about such things, right?”

"That's so easy to say! Doesn't the Wei officer behave like this because he suspects that the disappearance of those boys is related to me, Ruoshui City?"

Huan Yu was speechless.

This Mr. Li is obviously a smart man, but his way of thinking about problems is really unflattering.

According to what he said, when the Yamen detectives investigate the case, except for the real culprit, no one else can even raise suspicion?

What's more, when people are looking for a missing boy, they are also asking about the boy. Doesn't this kind of behavior make people suspicious?

The reason why he and Xiaojiu came to Ruoshui City was because they didn't think that Ruoshui City was responsible for the boy's disappearance. They just wanted to check for clues.

But Mr. Li's reaction was so intense that it made people believe that Ruoshui City was absolutely inseparable from this case.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mr. Li cupped his hand and said, "To be honest, I really appreciate Mr. Yu's character and demeanor, and I really want to make friends with you.

But something has happened in Weoshui City recently, which makes us have to be more vigilant.

If there is any offense, please forgive Mr. Yu."

Huan Yu returned the gift: "In that case, it would be better for us to leave early so as not to embarrass Brother Li."

"Wait a minute." Mr. Li stretched out his hand to block his way.

Huan Yu frowned slightly and tapped the palm of his hand with the folding fan.

Mr. Li said: "Since my dear brother has arrived at Ruoshui City, he might as well rest in his humble residence for a few days.

Although Ruoshui City is only a small place, it does have quite a lot of beautiful scenery. Once I have settled the affairs at hand, I will act as a guide for you all and have a good time."

The corners of Huan Yu's mouth curled up slightly.

Do you want to put them under house arrest in Li Mansion?

The so-called settling the affairs at hand means finding the son of Lord Chunyu.

If found, the suspicion of the six of them would naturally be lifted, so he would accompany them to play around as an apology.

But what if you can’t find it?

Do the six of them have to leave their lives in Ruoshui City?

Seeing that Huan Yu didn't say anything, Mr. Li was a little embarrassed and ordered the butler beside him: "Young Master Yu is my good brother. You take him to the guest house to rest, and you must take good care of him."

The housekeeper responded and "invited" several people to the guest house together with the big men.

Although Mr. Li is generous, the scale of Li's mansion is not large.

The so-called guest courtyard is just a courtyard that occupies a very small area.

There are three rooms, one light and two dark, and not even a wing.

Dozens of big men came to stand in the small courtyard, and Xiao Bi felt her breathing was a little short.

Seeing that Sang Pu and others looked worried, the housekeeper hurriedly explained: "My young master is not married yet, and he has always advocated frugality, so the mansion is really simple. Please don't mind, Mr. Yu."

Fengshou sneered and said: "The housekeeper is too polite, we are now just like prisoners.

Compared to the prison in the government office that never sees the light of day, this place is extremely nice."

The housekeeper was worried, but he had to take into account what his master had just said.

He smiled softly and said: "You guys have a good rest. If you need anything, just give me instructions."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Qingzhao blocked his way.

The housekeeper rolled his eyes: "What are your orders, girl?"

Qingzhao said: "There are six of us in total, with different statuses, and there are men and women.

There are only three rooms here, and no one can live in the open room, how do you want us to live there?"

The housekeeper pouted, "What are you pretending to be? Why can't we live in two rooms?"

Don't think that since he has lived in Ruoshui City for half his life, he doesn't know the customs of other countries.

The maids like them who serve the noble gentlemen will become their concubines in the future.

Looking at the age of Mr. Yu today, these two pretty maids must have been his for a long time.

The three of them live in one room, and the remaining three boys live in the same room. Isn't it just right?

Qingzhao saw something was wrong in the butler's eyes, so how could she not guess what he was thinking.

Just as she was about to have an attack, Ying Shui grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know. Our young master always likes to live alone, so these two rooms are really not enough.

Do you think you should give them three..."

She pointed at Xiao Bi and Sang Pu Fengshou: "I'd like to trouble uncle to arrange another place for the three of them."

The housekeeper looked at Xiao Bi and others: "As I said just now, the house is only such a big place, and the guest courtyard is the only place like this.
