Chapter 237 Troubled Times

The wind rolled down the window and the rain soaked through the paper.

As night fell, a strong wind blew up, and suddenly there was a cold winter rain. Zhang Yu picked up the lamp on the table, stood up and closed the window tightly.

But when Fang turned around, there was another person in front of the case. He was dressed in slim black clothes and had cold eyebrows.

Zhang Yu was startled and asked in silence: "Where is the traitor?"

Yu Qiansi took off her scarf, held her fists and palms in front of her forehead, and slowly moved to her left chest: "My lord, County Lieutenant, I have long admired you."

Zhang Yu's eyes kept moving on the woman's face and posture. His eyes were cold and solemn, and his jade face was smiling. It was difficult for him to ignore this upright Du Ruoli.

After a long time, he shook his hands and returned the salute.

"How...how did you know it was me?" Zhang Yu subconsciously asked, and when he saw the woman's clear and playful smile, he suddenly felt weak and lowered his head to avoid the woman, walking back behind the case as if unintentionally.

He lowered his head and picked out the wick.

"I need your help. Within one day, help me find out the locations of all the medicine warehouses of the three major pharmacies in Longyuan City."

Zhang Yu pursed his lips tightly and looked up at the indifferent woman in front of him, as if he was the one asking for help.

Suppressing the fire in his heart, he slowly said: "I can help you, but I can't use power for personal gain. I can't do it in one day, you have to wait."

"how long?"

"At least three days."

Yu Qiansi lowered her head to look at the case. Zhang Yu's hands trembled slightly and she rolled the pages of the book unconsciously. She pressed her palm on the book, leaned over slightly, and smiled brightly.

"It's better for us to be simple with each other. I don't care what method you use to get it done in one day. I can make it clear to Master Du Ruozhai that you will have nothing to do with Du Ruozhai in the future. Whatever you owe for Zhai ceremony will be counted.

On me."

Zhang Yu's heart was filled with thunder and lightning, his whole body was in pain, and he exclaimed in surprise: "How did you..."

Then he suddenly realized: "It turns out...it's you..."

No wonder the officials had to send out so many people to catch them.

It's crazy.

Zhang Yu sat slumped in his chair, wondering who he was sighing at.

"The fish spirit outside the official residence is a bit interesting. But Mr. Zhang has forgotten one thing. The more he tries to hide it among others, the easier it is to be seen through."

Yu Qiansi glanced at the page of the book that was about to be chewed up, and it turned out to be a copy of "Xunzi". She was a little surprised, and turned away and continued: "Look at the carving of that fish spirit, it must be at least ten years old. But

It's almost rotten and hasn't been replaced yet, which means that the owner of the fish spirit doesn't want to replace it. Could it be that he has to hang it up but doesn't want to take care of it?"

Not hanging it at home is just because I am afraid that people will directly recognize my official position, so I hang it in an official house.

Generally speaking, even if someone recognizes him, there are so many people in the yamen, it is difficult to find out who it is. Even if someone really comes and asks in the name of Du Ruozhai, he can hide in the crowd and think carefully about the identification.

, to see if it’s worth his help.

Zhang Yu is really awkward.

Just like at this moment, he obviously cherishes books very much, but he can't help but caress the pages, which in turn hurts the books.

Listening to what he just said, he was very upright. I guess he was worried that someone would use his position to facilitate Du Ruozhai.

Zhang Yu seemed to have been hit in a sore spot: "Yes, Du Ruozhai helped me. It can be said that if Du Ruozhai hadn't helped me, I would have turned into a withered skeleton on the roadside. I must repay a favor. This is the way of life.

I understand the truth!"

Du Ruozhai made a gentleman's agreement. If he really didn't want to pay attention to it, he could just pretend not to know. But he didn't. Not only that, the first thing he did after taking office was to find a carpenter to carve the spiritual fish.

"However, eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. As a county captain, I receive a salary from the court. If I use the power of the audience to do things for Du Ruozhai at will, wouldn't I be betraying the saint!"

Yu Qiansi curled his lips casually, found a chair and sat down, tilted his head and said with a smile: "No wonder you have been in office for more than ten years, the county magistrates and magistrates have changed several times, and you have never been promoted.

It can be seen that they are people who do not want to go along with the world."

Zhang Yu felt relieved when he saw that she had put away her evil aura. However, he did not expect that Yu Qiansi's next words made him feel as if his throat was being strangled.

"Just like this time, the county magistrate and county magistrate of Longyuan County passed you, the county captain, and took all the officials to arrest me. Those officials knew that you were their superior, but they still followed and left. It can be seen that,

You are also so old-fashioned and boring on weekdays."

Zhang Yu didn't expect that she would identify himself so directly. She would also investigate all the matters in the official house.

He couldn't help but murmured: "As expected, he is as resourceful as a demon as rumored."

Yu Qiansi nodded happily and accepted this sentence as a compliment: "Since you have just revealed my identity, you should know that I have helped Du Ruozhai solve several troublesome murder cases, and I have a good relationship with the owner. Therefore,

The suggestion I just made is completely feasible. What's more, based on the news from your county magistrate and the county magistrate, you should have guessed that my trip is also related to official business. You helped me this time and killed two birds with one stone. Isn't it nice?

?”

Zhang Yu lowered his head and looked at the book spread out on the table, which had been rubbed into pieces by him. Feeling sorry for it, he stretched out his hand to smooth it slowly, but the more he stroked it, the more wrinkled it became.

He felt irritated, so he simply closed the book, looked at Yu Qiansi, and said in a deep voice: "In two days, I will give you the answer you want."

Yu Qiansi shook his head gently: "At most, it won't be until tomorrow at xu."

Zhang Yu was a little anxious and wanted to argue, but Yu Qiansi looked invulnerable, so he could only say bitterly: "Okay, I will think of a way. However, to be on the safe side, it is better for us not to see each other again. If there is a chance tomorrow,

If I get the news, I will put it at the back door of the mansion, behind the fourth brick from the bottom in the southeast corner."

Seeing Yu Qiansi about to leave, Zhang Yu somehow stopped her: "Girl, you should pay attention to your safety these days. Longyuan City is not a peaceful place for girls."

Yu Qiansi looked back and smiled: "It seems that you are not a person who only knows how to read. No wonder you can read "Xunzi", and no wonder Du Ruozhai helped you in the first place. Thank you very much."

This was the first time Zhang Yu saw some warmth in her eyes tonight, which made him a little flustered by his sudden kindness.

The winter rain outside the window comes and goes quickly.

Yu Qian opened the window and climbed it in one go, which gave him some indistinguishable dreams and he couldn't help but froze in place.

Can the things that have been worrying and troubling for many years really be solved so easily?

He closed the window and was in shock.

Fortunately, no one from the official residence is here today. If someone discovers that he has a relationship with Jade Rakshasa, his life will definitely be in danger.

He didn't want to know what happened in the imperial mausoleum. He just hoped that the Jade Rakshasa incident could be settled quickly.

Returning to the table, he stared at the "Xunzi" in front of him and sighed.

It happens to be at this time, a very eventful time.

If you want to handle this matter properly, you have to plan it slowly.
