Chapter 0081 New Hope

People came and went in Baifang, Luoyang, and the business was booming. Jiuzhi was blushing. He hurriedly walked along the wall toward the gate as if he had done something bad.

As soon as he walked to the gate, he was caught by the madam who was welcoming guests and laughed jokingly: "Young Master, this is not the first time you have been here, and you are still blushing and shy?"

Jiuzhi said in a panic: "I have something to do at home, so let's go first."

"What's the hurry? Just sit for a while!

"Come again next time! Next time..."

Jiuzhi finally broke away from the madam's eagle claws and escaped from the door. He tidied up his clothes while cursing.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the madam greeting the guest, "Oh! The two young masters Suo are here. Which girl do you want to find today? I will arrange it for you!"

Jiuzhi was stunned and quickly looked back and saw two young men in brocade robes joking with the madam. He rubbed his eyes, "He is really an enemy, and he actually met the two mosquitoes and flies in Luoyang."

Jiuzhi was afraid of being seen by these two people, so he got into a taxi carriage in a panic and ordered the coachman to say, "Go to Nanshi!"

The carriage turned around and rushed towards the south city.

.........

After seven or eight days of recuperation, Li Zhen's injuries gradually recovered. Lan Zhenyu shot a small crossbow arrow. The arrow injury was very mild. The key was to remove the poison. As long as the remaining poison was removed, his injuries would be recovered.

Li Zhen moved back to his elder sister's wine shop yesterday. He unexpectedly found that the wine shop was much more refreshing, at least there was a small road in the store. Although the stairs were still filled with wine barrels, the attic was finally cleared out, giving him a place to sleep.

Li Zhen later learned from his friend A Cai that the eldest sister did not reduce the amount of wine stored. On the contrary, she bought a large amount of wine stored. However, she rented a warehouse in Fushanfang next to the South City and put all the wine stored in the warehouse.

"A Zhen, Miss Yan is here!" Li Quan shouted downstairs with a weak aura.

Li Quan really didn't like Di Yan, but she heard that her brother was bitten by a snake, thanks to this girl Yan found the elixir.

Seeing that she had treated her brother's injuries, Li Quan had a little change in her impression, so he reluctantly agreed to his brother's interactions with her.

She saw Di Yan standing outside the shop and greeted, "Miss Yan, come in and sit down!"

"No, sister, please hurry up first! I'll wait for him here."

"Then. Just do whatever you want!"

Li Quan actually had nothing to be busy with. She was waiting for the price of wine to rise, but there were rumors recently that the female emperor was going to cancel her birthday, which really made her worried. She had stored nearly 4,000 guan of wine. If the price of wine did not rise, she would lose a lot.

At this time, Li Zhen jumped down from the second floor, and Li Quan was startled, "A Zhen, are your legs well?"

Li Zhen smiled and said, "I skipped it once yesterday. No problem, sister, I'll go out first."

"Go! Come back early."

Li Zhen walked out of the wine shop quickly, and Di Yan greeted him with a smile, "Brother Li, I have good news!"

“What good news?”

Di Yan blinked at him, "It's hard to say here. I'll treat you to a meal, let's talk while eating!"

The two left with a smile and laughed. Li Quan appeared from behind the door, curled his lips, and said a little unhappy: "What's wrong with saying here? I'm just afraid that I can hear it, so I'm too lazy to listen!"

Not long after Li Zhen and Di Yan left, Jiu Zhi hurried back and shouted when he entered the door: "Old Li, I have news to tell you!"

"You're one step late, those two people are going to have a meal."

Li Quan walked out of the inner room and smiled and said, "Xiao Pang, why don't you... go find them! They should be in Jiangzuo Restaurant, the third floor old seat, you can have dinner with them and play together, and the eldest sister will give you money afterwards."

Jiu Zhi scratched his head, "Sister Quan, doing this kind of thing will make you live a life-long life, why don't you let Acai and Awang go!"

"You useless fat man, I won't help my eldest sister at critical moments!"

Li Quan knocked on his head, scolded him a few words, turned around and went back to the inner room, and heard her shouting again: "Xiao Pang, you can move in for the eldest sister for those buckets of wine at the door. I'm going to the warehouse. Don't forget to close the store later!"

"knew!"

Jiu Zhi muttered, "If you refuse to help her, revenge will come."

He carried a bucket of wine and walked into the store quickly.

.........

Li Zhen and Di Yan came to Jiangzuo Restaurant. They went up to the third floor and sat down in front of a seat by the window. This was the old seat they often sat in.

Di Yan ordered five dishes, ordered another pot of wine, and said with a smile: "Last night, my brother visited the Prince of Shouchun and got some good news."

Although Li Zhen did not care about Di Renjie's affairs due to his recovery in the past seven or eight days, the Di family did not give up and kept trying to rescue Di Renjie.

Di Yan went to Liangzhou, and the monk who sold her Ouyang Xun's calligraphy had already traveled, leaving her nothing.

However, Di Renjie's second son Di Guangyuan had a very good relationship with Shouchun County Prince Li Chengqi. He obtained an important news from the palace through Li Chengqi.

The imperial physician Shen Nanmiao has found the source of this poison, which is the snake venom from Tochar. Moreover, this snake venom can only be preserved for half a year at most, and it will become ineffective over time.

This made the Di family very excited, and they saw hope for their father to escape from his sins.

Di Yan whispered to Li Zhen: "My second brother went to find Zhou Suoyuan yesterday. Zhou Censor said that the conclusion that the emperor poisoned my father had been shaken. It was a hint in itself to change my father from imprisonment to house arrest.

Censor Zhou told my brother very clearly that as long as we can find the source of poison and prove that my father has nothing to do with the source of poison, he can guarantee that my father will not be sentenced to death."

Li Zhen sneered and said, "I guess the Tochar conclusion of Doctor Shen's imperial examination has made the female emperor suspect that the Buddhist scriptures case is related to the relics case, and Wu Chengsi and Li Dan have both become suspects."

Di Yan didn't care about Wu Chengsi and Li Dan. She only cared about whether her father could escape from the crime. She continued: "We transferred Zhou Suoyuan's words to her father. At noon today, the meal delivery man brought out a note from his father."

As he said that, Di Yan handed the note to Li Zhen. Li Zhen opened the note and saw a sentence written on it, "Please help from Dunhuang Li Shaolang."

Li Zhen smiled bitterly, and the one Di Renjie said about Li Shaolang was the only one who could be himself. Di Yan looked at him and asked nervously: "Brother Li, are you willing to help this?"

There is definitely no problem in helping, the key is how to help?

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and said, "If you only need to find the source of poison, it will be easier. Just catch Lan Zhenyu."

"But Luoyang is so big, where can we find Lan Zhenyu?"

Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Didn't he come to assassinate your father that night? Although Jinwu Guard could not catch the living, guess who would ask him to assassinate your father?"

Di Yan's beautiful eyes flashed with deep hatred, "I know who it is!"

.........

In the secret room of the King of Wei Mansion, Wu Chengsi stared at a dead dog on the ground with a pale face. The dead dog was golden and hard as a stone, which was exactly the same as the poisoning symptoms of the monk Yun Xuan.

"Can you be sure that this dog was dug out of Wushun's mansion?" Wu Chengsi asked with fierce eyes staring at his fake fish-picking dragon.

Yu Pinlong lowered his head a little guiltyly and said, "This is what Lai Junchen brings to me."

"How could Lai Junchen know that there was a dead dog buried in the mansion?"

Yupin Longbai went to Chang'an and it was really hard to explain to Wu Chengsi. He had to say cleverly: "The child thought it was very likely that Junchen would find a few confidant warriors of Wu Shun and learned some clues from them. This might be the dog Wu Shun used to test poison and was buried in the mansion by the warriors, so they knew."

Wu Chengsi's face became increasingly ugly. Lai Junchen went to Chang'an to investigate the relics. Now that he found clues about the poisonous scripture case, Wu Chengsi began to become scared.

He asked Mr. Ming next to him again, "What should I do with this matter?"

Mr. Ming pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This is Lai Junchen hinting to Your Highness that he might have found some clues, but no matter how he investigates it, if there is no evidence or witness, even if the emperor knows it, it is hard to say anything.

Therefore... Your Highness’s most urgent task is to destroy all witness evidence, and not to delay any further, nor to be merciless."

A fierce look burst out from Wu Chengsi's eyes. He went out and ordered: "Let Furong come over immediately!"

After a moment, Wu Furong hurried over, "Did your father look for me?"

Wu Chengsi pointed to the dead dog on the ground, "You can see it yourself!"

"Father, what's going on?" Wu Furong was startled.

Wu Chengsi repeated their inference just now and finally ordered her: "Take people to Chang'an immediately and kill all Wu Shun's confidant guards, leaving no troubles!"

Wu Furong glanced at Yupinlong and said unhappily: "Since my father already has a good assistant, why do you want his daughter to go?"

Wu Chengsi was furious. When was it still in internal conflict? He glared at Wu Furong fiercely, "Are you going?"

Wu Furong had no choice but to lower her head and said, "You'll just go, my daughter."

"Also, you know too much about Lan Zhenyu under your command, which is very dangerous. You can also get rid of him."

Wu Furong was stunned, "Father, he shouldn't have anything to do!"

Mr. Ming next to him advised softly: "Miss Furong, you are a smart person and you should know the serious consequences of this matter. Once something happens to your father, your backstage will also fall. Now you, father and daughter, should work together. Think about it yourself! Should he stay?"

Wu Furong was silent for a long time and whispered: "Father, my daughter thinks about this again, is it OK?"

"Yes, but you must give me an explanation before dawn tomorrow!"

......

Lan Zhenyu had just returned from Chang'an. At this time, he didn't know that something had happened to his elder brother, let alone that he had been targeted by Lai Junchen.

Because of the hasty rush to Chang'an this time, his shoulder sword injury had not healed. When he came back, the shoulder sword injury began to worsen.

In the room, Lan Zhenyu was naked and was carefully changing the medicine for her shoulder injury. Li Zhen's sword stabbed very deeply, seriously injured his meridians. If it was not cured, his left arm would be ruined.

Lan Zhenyu washed the wound with wine and spread the medicine powder on his shoulder injury. The severe pain made him tremble all over.

At this time, a pair of soft arms hugged him from behind, and Wu Furong blew like orchid in his ear, "Tonight, can't you be with me?"

"Let's talk about it when the injury is healed! I don't have the energy now." Lan Zhenyu put on a black robe, and he was already tired of this woman's endless requests.

"Of course I care about your injuries too, let me take a look?"

Wu Furong put her head up and tried to pull away the robe that Lan Zhenyu had just put on, but Lan Zhenyu gently pushed it away, "No need, just a little injury."

A hint of anger flashed in Wu Furong's eyes, but it disappeared immediately. She picked up the wine pot, poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Lan Zhenyu, and smiled charmingly: "Then you have a glass of wine with me, and I will spare you tonight."

Lan Zhenyu took the wine glass, and the two of them intersected their arms. Wu Furong stared at him with a sensational charm and sipped the wine in the glass little by little.

Lan Zhenyu smiled and took a sip of wine. Just as he was about to drink it all in one sip, his face suddenly changed. He pinched Wu Furong's neck and roared, "What did you put in the wine?"
