Li Yuanfa waited outside the British government residence until the middle of the night.
Not only did I not see Zhu Cheng, but the concierge was extremely evasive when I asked him to bring a few words to me.
The more Li Yuanfa thought about it, the angrier he became, so he went to look for Xi Dongjia overnight.
Xi Dongjia had been a thief all night, and had suffered in prison for most of the day. It was a good time to sleep, and Li Yuanfa called him out and came to see him with a dark face.
Li Yuanfa's expression was even worse than that of Xi Dongjia, and he told his story again.
Xi Dongjia patiently said: "How does the concierge know that we really know Mr. Zhu Si?
They just think you are looking for trouble and accuse the Fourth Master of being the mastermind behind it. How can I give you a good face if you come looking for me?
If I didn’t chase you away with a broom, the concierge would already have a good temper.”
Li Yuanfa took two sips of tea: "There are many front and back doors and corner doors of the British Duke's Mansion. It's not an option for me to squat alone. I still have to ask someone to come with me..."
Even if the Wang brothers are still in prison, they still have some associates...
"It's useless," Xi Dongjia said, "Once the fourth master knows that you are looking for him, he will definitely hide away. Either he will stay in the house every day and never go out, or if he goes out, he will never come back..."
Li Yuanfa is not willing to give up easily.
When it got daybreak, he first went to Shuntian Mansion to show his face, nodding and bowing for a while.
After coming out, he was not in a hurry to leave. He squatted across the street until he saw the young nobleman entering the government office yesterday, and his entourage was leading the horse to leave.
Li Yuanfa followed.
Shen Chen knew all about Li Yuanfa's actions, so he pretended not to know and walked all the way towards Liuguo Hutong.
Li Yuanfa was much bolder than Shen Chen. After walking two streets, he approached him.
"Brother, little brother," Li Yuan issued the gift, "I just want to ask, where can I find the fourth master of the British government?"
"Why are you looking for him?" Shen Chen pretended to be surprised, "Didn't you say in the hall yesterday that you knew the fourth master, but the fourth master didn't know you?"
"Hey, in order to get away with it, I randomly borrowed the name of the Fourth Master." Li Yuanfa was extremely embarrassed, "I just wanted to apologize to the Fourth Master for causing trouble for him."
"Forget it about the apology..." Shen Chen said, "If I were the fourth master, I would definitely not want you to apologize. Besides, I don't know the whereabouts of the fourth master Zhu, but..."
"Etiquette, etiquette!" When Li Yuanfa heard that there was something wrong, he hurriedly promised, "I sincerely apologize, I won't cause trouble to you, little brother, and I ask you to show me the way."
Li Yuanfa said a lot of extravagant words, and Shen Chen reluctantly said: "I once met the fourth master's entourage at a shop at the north entrance of Liuguo Hutong to buy roast chicken. I asked a few questions and said that the children at home like to eat it, so I like it.
It's so hot, I guess he might live nearby.
Do you recognize the people serving beside the Fourth Master?
If you recognize him, you might as well go around and if you can meet him, ask him to introduce you?
Don't mention me. I leaked the whereabouts of other people indiscriminately. When I turned around, the fourth master was angry. When I found our master, I couldn't eat and walked around."
Li Yuanfa was happy.
He wasn't very familiar with Zhu Cheng's personal entourage, but he recognized him by his face.
"Don't worry, I am the most loyal person!" After Li Yuanfa finished speaking, he hurried to Liuguo Hutong.
Watching his back getting further and further away, Shen Chen shook his head.
I thought Li Yuanfa would just follow him and take him to Liuguo Hutong. I didn’t expect that this man would be so restless.
In just one morning, Li Yuanfa figured out everything about Liuguo Hutong.
This is truly stunning, jaw-dropping, and breathtaking!
It turns out that the fourth master’s outer room lives here, and he also has a five-year-old son...
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Yuanfa opened the door.
When she opened the door, she saw a stranger coming and looked at him warily.
"Mom," Li Yuan said as a gift, "I'm here to find the Fourth Master."
Zhu Cheng was in the room. When he heard the sound, he came out, pointed at Li Yuanfa and cursed in a low voice: "How did you find yourself here? No, weren't you in prison? How did you get out?"
Li Yuanfa entered the yard and closed the door.
Then, he rubbed his hands and said: "The yamen let me out because I was just a thief who stole something unlucky. However, Fourth Master, you are not kind. How could you let us steal banned books?"
If I say a few wrong words in the yamen, my brain..."
There were two bangs, and Li Yuanfa tilted his head and patted his neck twice with his palms.
Zhu Cheng's face was extremely ugly: "So you just confessed me? You didn't even think about it. What's the benefit of dragging me down?"
"That's because I was confused. I changed my story before I came out and said it has nothing to do with you." Li Yuanfa admitted his mistake directly and made his request very directly. "The yamen believed this and let me out for the time being. But I have to admit it every day."
I still have to go to the Yamen to show up. How can I make money and do business if this continues?
Master, I, Li Yuanfa, ended up in this situation because I was doing things for you. You have to solve it for me.
Either you tell the Yamen to stop staring at me, or you add more...
Life is not easy, sir, and you don’t want things here to spread, right?”
Zhu Cheng said nothing.
In the former case, he asked the yamen to get acquainted with Li Yuanfa himself, in the latter case...
The gold bricks are gone, he still wants to give Li Yuan money?
Why!
"Where are the gold bricks?" he asked, "where did you take the gold bricks?"
Li Yuanfa said inexplicably: "Wherever there are gold bricks, you will find two boxes of deadly things! Where did you get the news? You must have been deceived!"
Behind the door, the eavesdropping Queen Wang was furious.
"Master!" She stepped forward, "I think it was him who changed the package!
I told you before, but you still can’t believe it, saying that if he didn’t dare to take the banned book, he would lose his head.
But look at him, he's standing here fine now, with no broken arms or legs. Shuntian Mansion didn't do anything to him at all.
He must have colluded with Gao An to swallow up the gold bricks and give Shuntian Mansion a lot of benefits... Oops!"
Li Yuanfa has been in jail for a day. He is such a miserable man, how can he bear it when this bitch makes fun of him?
Lifting his sour and smelly sleeves, Li Yuanfa leaned towards Madam Wang's face: "Smell it, smell it! You're colluding!"
Where has Mrs. Wang ever seen a fool like Li Yuanfa?
He was so dizzy from the stench that he screamed and hid behind Zhu Cheng: "He must have embezzled it for himself!"
Zhu Cheng was entangled between the two of them and couldn't bear the stench of Li Yuanfa, so he raised his hand and pushed Li Yuanfa...
Boom!
The person lay straight on his back on the ground.
Blood seeped out from under Li Yuanfa's head and soon stained the floor tiles red.
The accident was so sudden that Zhu Cheng looked at his hands in shock.
Madam Wang was also confused by this situation. When she came to her senses, she kicked her with her toes.
Li Yuanfa remained motionless.
The mother-in-law plucked up the courage to come over, knelt down and took a look, and found that the tip of Li Yuanfa's nose was lifeless.
