Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 240 239. Opening...

"Two foxes?"

Walking on the street, Xue Rulong frowned.

"Ah."

"..."

After walking in silence for a while, Xue Rulong sighed and murmured:
"At the end of this year...it's getting more and more uneven."

While talking, the two had already crossed the bridge.

From a long distance away, I heard gongs and drums beating on a street, and the crowd cheered there from time to time.

A peaceful year.

Compared with his words, there is a bit of irony.

All the way to the gate of the house, Xue Rulong glanced at the couplet at the gate.

Turning her head to look at Li Zhen again, she said without saying anything:
"Where did they come in last night, do you know?"

"know."

Li Zhenyi pointed to the courtyard wall to the east:

"The talisman on that wall has lost its effect."

"Ah."

Xue Rulong didn't wait for him, and came to the courtyard wall in a few steps.

The gate of this yard faces south, and he walked all the way to the east along the southern wall, and saw some black stains on the wall at a glance.

He pulled out a dagger that looked bright and bluish from his waist, and he scraped lightly on the wall, and the sticky liquid was blown off in the cold wind.

He glanced at it, put it in front of his nose and sniffed again.

Flick.

The liquid then fell into the soil.But the dagger was not stained at all.

At this time, Li Zhen also came over, seeing his movements and the sticky thing on the wall, the corner of his mouth twitched...

But Xue Rulong didn't say much.

His eyes fell on the ground.

A somewhat concave outline of withered grass caught his attention.

He walked over to have a look, and he seemed to have found something, and then searched in a nearby place, and found a white stone.

There seem to be some black silk threads hidden in the stone.

It looks pretty gross.

Li Zhen didn't know whether Xue Rulong's tracking technique should be called grass snake gray line, or... his nose is sharper than a dog's.

In short, as a layman, he just watched the big guy in the show.

In less than a stick of incense, Xue Rulong's gaze has already focused on the direction of the precious beast pen.

After watching for a while, he withdrew his gaze and nodded to Li Zhen beside him:
"You are not an official, so don't follow me anymore. I should be busy with you, and I will report back to you later. If there is anything else at that time, I will come to you again."

"no problem."

Li Zhen nodded in agreement, glanced at the sky, and said:

"I still need to buy some things, so I will go to work."

"it is good."

"When the general returns, please tell your lord that you can come to listen to books tomorrow morning and afternoon."

Hearing this, Xue Rulong glanced at him...

I couldn't help but say:
"Do you really think you can do this ridiculous business?"

"..."

In a word, Li Zhen's accumulated goodwill towards him as a "professional boss" was completely wiped out.

……

"grown ups."

Li House.

Lord Huqiu, who was reading a book in his hand, asked without raising his head after hearing this:
"how?"

"Someone did break into the Taoist priest's house last night. The four walls of the Taoist priest were originally restrained with talismans, but they were broken. The method of breaking the restraint is indeed the method of the witches. They drenched blood and herbs and so on. broken. But they also left traces, and the subordinates tracked them all the way, and found...the last place where the traces disappeared was in the beast pen."

Hearing this, Mr. Huqiu didn't raise his head, and said:
"Go and check. From the day I came back to the present, the new soldiers, servants, stewards... These people, check one by one. But don't be alarmed, if you find the results, tell me. I will go there myself."

"Do you want to notify Daoist Su Ning?"

"Tell her what to do?"

Master Huqiu looked at the book and asked:
"Notify her, do you want her to get rid of the demon? Or to clean up the door? Among the Taoist disciples in Luoyang City, except for this Taoist priest, who is not respected by the national teacher? If she makes a move, the national teacher will lose his face?"

"My lord, I'll go right away."

After understanding this truth, Xue Rulong turned around and was about to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, he seemed to remember something, turned his head and said:

"My lord, that Taoist said just now...tomorrow...please go and listen to the book."

"..."

Lord Huqiu, who hadn't looked up all this time, finally took his eyes off the book this time.

"tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"……okay, I get it."

"Subordinates retire."

……

Tea, teapot, tea bowl.

Dried fruit, fried beans, charcoal stove.

At noon, Li Zhen bought all the things needed for listening to the book, and then went to the market again.

Under the introduction of Ya Xing, a child named "Liu Ding" was selected as a servant.

Three renminbi a month for one meal.

Liu Ding is 14 this year and hasn't married a wife yet, but the young man is quite clever and courageous.

Among the group of children led by Yahang, he was the only one who didn't show a look of fear when Li Zhen said that he lived in the "ghost house" at the gate of Zhenshou Lan.

This courage is enough.

Anyway, Li Zhen only tells stories during the day, this kid only needs to collect tickets, and then serve tea and water to the guests.

He didn't even need to do the dishes.

It's as big as a tower.

Soak the bowl in the basin, wrap the tada with cloth strips and roll it, and everything will work.

After signing the employment documents, I gave the dental agency an agency fee of 50 Wen.

Looking at the middle-aged man standing respectfully beside him, Li Zhen looked at his somewhat greasy hair, and took out ten coins from his pocket.

"Change into clean clothes tomorrow morning, and then wash your hair well, come here after washing, you know?"

"Understood, shopkeeper."

The voice of the child who is still in the voice changer is still a little hoarse.

Li Zhen shook his head:
"Don't call me the shopkeeper, call me sir."

"Understood, sir."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Li Zhen nodded:
"Go ahead, just arrive before three o'clock tomorrow. Remember to clean up."

Liu Ding took the order and left.

Li Zhen was not worried that the child would not come tomorrow.

There is a rule of one line, as long as the dental firm gives the money, then the contract must be fulfilled.

It's not like the intermediaries of later generations, who don't recognize people if they give money.

There are many things that the dentist here has to manage.

No one dares to break the rules.

Then, he returned to Chunyou Club with the old horse full of four bags of goods on its back. After taking all the things into the house, he let the old horse go back to its nest, and he came to the door by himself.

Looking at the plaque that was still covered with red silk, he jumped slightly, reached out and took off the piece of red silk.

"Spring Friends Club"

Three large lacquered characters were exposed in flying and flying shapes.

"..."

Li Zhen looked around with the red silk in his hand.

My heart said, good guy, this opening ceremony is deserted enough.

Laughing dumbfounded, he clapped his hands at the door plaque:

"Clap clap clap~"

After a burst of applause, he bowed his hands to the surrounding air:

"Everyone took good care of me and cheered me on."

"..."

A gust of cold wind blows.

No one answered.
