Li Yi only learned of this matter after Lao Fang and the others returned from Fucheng.
For the idiot who wanted to stop Li Xuan's carriage without opening his eyes, Li Yi could only mourn for him in his heart.
I thought that when the store operated by Prince Ning’s Mansion opened, those who were staring at Ruyilu would naturally give up their evil thoughts. However, after being so disturbed by that dude, I was afraid that everyone would have gotten wind of it and would no longer dare to deal with it.
What is Ruyi Lu holding on to?
After calming down and thinking about it carefully, Li Yi was saddened by the conclusion he came to.
If he didn't know Li Xuan and didn't cooperate with Prince Ning's Mansion on Ruyilu's business, even a small county captain could bring him a lot of trouble.
After all, one is a citizen and the other is an official. The person who came to frame him last time and the policeman who colluded with them were probably also ordered by the county captain.
These days, it's better to be an official. If you were a county captain, wouldn't you be free of these things?
Of course, Li Yi was not willing to let him become a county captain. With such a small salary, he would have to do a lot of things... It was not cost-effective.
It's better to hug Prince Ning's thigh tightly, it's not much better than being a lieutenant of Laoshizi County?
Of course, distant water cannot quench local thirst. Not every time he encounters something, Li Xuan will show up at the right time. If he can hold an extra thigh, he will have one more emergency option.
So, when the female catcher who patrolled the street passed by the door of the store, Li Yi said hello politely: "Captain Li, you are here to patrol the streets again. Do you want to come in and have a glass of water?"
"Is there any wine?"
The woman in light blue clothes looked at him, raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Yes!" Li Yi said with a smile.
The wine is a spirit made by distillation. It has a mellow and fragrant aroma. Before the wine shop that cooperated with Prince Ning's Mansion opened, it was the only one in Qing'an City.
Of course, if you have wine, you must also have food.
Things are different now than when I first came here. With money, I naturally don’t have to live in the days without much oil and water every day. Two cold dishes and two hot dishes are all made by Li Yi himself, which is used for cooking.
Wine is perfect.
"Captain Li please."
Li Mingzhu looked at the food and wine on the table, a hint of astonishment flashed across her pretty face.
Didn’t you say you came in just to drink a glass of water?
The scene in front of me looked like it had been prepared for a long time.
After taking a look at Li Yi, he sat down anyway.
Regardless of what he had in mind, at least the food and wine looked pretty good, and it was obvious that he had put a little thought into it.
I picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the side dish that smelled good. I was very satisfied with the unique taste.
"If you have anything to do, tell me." He took another sip of wine and glanced at Li Yi lightly.
She actually had some appreciation for the scholar's abilities, and for the sake of the table of food and wine, if his request wasn't too excessive, she might consider it.
"Captain Li misunderstood. If it hadn't been for Captor Li last time, a lawsuit in Ruyifang would have been unavoidable. I just want to express my gratitude for a small meal." Li Yi smiled and looked at her.
He said with a calm face.
He really didn't have anything to ask for from this female detective at the moment.
Even if there is, I can't say it directly.
As the saying goes, a man with short hands is a man who can eat people with a soft mouth. The Anxi County Government Office is not far from the store. If this princess girl eats and drinks here several times, she will really encounter trouble in the future.
Now, can she just sit back and watch?
We are still just laying the foundation for the relationship, so of course we cannot make any demands casually.
"It's your job, so there's no need to thank you." Li Mingzhu glanced at him and continued to eat and drink. Not to mention, these drinks and food were quite to her liking.
"I heard that you are cooperating with Prince Ning's Mansion for Ruyilu's business?"
Li Yi nodded. The news spread quite quickly. You must know that today is only the second day.
"You are smart." She had almost finished the wine that Lao Fang had secretly hidden, but her expression remained unchanged as she looked at Li Yi with a rare hint of approval in her eyes.
It is undeniable that Ruyi Dew is a good thing, and few people can withstand the temptation of the huge profits contained in it. If they do not have enough strength, they cannot hold on to such a treasure. I am afraid that it will not be long before those people
People eat not even the dregs are left.
The smartest way is to climb a taller tree and give up some of your profits to protect yourself.
I just didn't expect that he would actually have the ability to climb up to Prince Ning's Mansion. It seems that his relationship with his cousin is also extraordinary.
When Li Mingzhu thought of this, someone walked in at the door. The next moment, Li Xuan looked at her in surprise and asked: "Mingzhu, why are you here?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly sniffed and asked: "What smells so good?"
Following the scent, my eyes turned to the food and wine on the table.
After a while, another pair of chopsticks was added to the table.
Li Xuan glanced at his cousin who was drinking by himself with some confusion. He was a little confused about her appearing here, but his attention was quickly attracted by the food and wine in front of him.
After filling a glass of wine, he just picked it up. Thinking that he was here for business today, he hesitated and put it down again. He looked at Li Yi and asked: "You said the land under our feet is round, do you have any evidence?"
"No." Li Yi took a sip of tea and said simply.
With Li Xuan's curious personality, if he tried to explain, the other party would definitely ask questions non-stop, so it would be better not to give him any chance at all.
"Then what you said last time, why do leaves fall to the ground, why do you see mirrors in the water, and..." Li Xuan no longer dwells on the previous questions. Anyway, he still has many doubts, and there are plenty of opportunities to ask him.
The expression on Li Yi's face was startled, and then he looked at him and said seriously: "Let's talk about the fact that the earth is round."
Li Xuan looked up at him, waiting for his explanation.
"Actually, to be precise, it should be a ball, and not that round..."
This problem is actually not difficult to explain. The arc-shaped sea level, ships coming from the sea always see the mast first, and when you look up at the sky, the two sides are lower and the middle is higher... These common phenomena in daily life can be explained.
Even by analogy, it can be easily explained. The moon and the sun are both round, but the land under their feet is square. Isn't it a little too different and unsociable?
But Li Xuan had never seen the sea. He ran to the yard and looked at the sky. He couldn't see the difference between high and low. He couldn't understand the relationship between the moon and the sun and the land under their feet. Li Yi started to feel a little dizzy.
.
"I went to patrol the streets."
Li Mingzhu finally understood why the two had such a close relationship. It was quite normal for two people suffering from hysteria to feel like bosom friends with each other...
