The reborn delicate empress just wants to hug her thighs

Chapter 49 Picking a Face 2
More than 20 people were washed on the first day, and it was the turn of the rest on the second day.

"Hey, wake up the people inside, it's your turn to take a bath!"

Li Huaishan jumped out of the bed that was only covered with cotton wool and a small quilt, almost spraining his feet.

After so many days, I can finally take a bath!If he doesn't take a bath, he feels that his body will stink, and he will directly send it to the farmers as fertilizer, and they don't bring any compost...

When the wooden door was opened from the outside, and the long-lost sunlight shone on him, Li Huaishan was so excited that he almost shed tears, and rushed towards the wooden barrel in tears.

……

After washing and putting on new clothes, Li Huaishan turned back into that elegant scholar again. Before he could say a word, two guards threatened him with knives and retreated to the room.

The big iron lock locked the door again, leaving Li Huaishan knocking on the door.

It was evening in the blink of an eye, and the two guards felt impatient. What's so interesting about a man taking a bath, but the task must be carried out.

One of them was careless, watching the sun was about to set, in order to watch the people take a bath, he didn't eat lunch, and suddenly felt hungry and unbearable.

"Hey, owner of the meat pie shop!" He raised his voice and shouted to Shi Huaishan.

Shi Huaishan put down the things in his hands, wiped his hands on the hem of his clothes, and said humbly: "My lord, why do you want to summon me?"

"Take it!"

A bunch of heavy keys were thrown in Shi Huaishan's palm, and an unworn key scratched his skin, but Shi Huaishan didn't realize it, and was even overjoyed.

Isn't this the key to those doors!It's really effortless!

"What are you doing? How can you just give the key to someone else?" asked the guard next to him.

"You don't want to drink anymore? This damn place is cold and empty, how can you stay on an empty stomach. Besides, aren't there two brothers guarding the door, what's the rush?"

The guard still hesitated: "But..."

"Don't want mother-in-law! If you don't go, I will go. Anyway, I can't stay in this poor place for half an hour."

"Wait, I'll go with you!" The guard finally made up his mind and followed him.

Not far away, Huaishan shouted when he turned his head: "Watch out for the key, don't let anyone escape! Otherwise, we'll come back and ask you!"

"Yes, my lord!" Shi Huaishan responded, as for what was going on in his heart, no one knew.

With the key in hand, my heart is half at ease.

Shi Huaishan supervised the rest of the people to take a bath, holding the bunch of heavy keys in his hands, still unable to make up his mind.

Do you want to exchange identities with Li Huaishan today?
If you miss today, they may not give you the key tomorrow. If you miss the opportunity, you don't know when you will have the hope of revenge.

But if he exchanges with Li Huaishan immediately, can he escape the two guards at the gate and leave smoothly?

I heard from them that he will enter the palace within ten days, today is the second day, there are still eight days left, there are too many variables.

Shi Huaishan was very unwilling, but he knew that things hadn't come to the most suitable time.

At worst, the night before entering the palace, he broke the window and got into the house, and waited for Li Huaishan to leave, and then installed the removed window inside to fool him.

After pouring out the last bucket of bath water, the exhausted old servants walked away muttering, Shi Huaishan was at the back, and wanted to discuss with Li Huaishan, but they were afraid that the two people's plans would be overheard in the dead of night .

In the end, he took a deep look at the room where Li Huaishan was, and left without doing anything.

After handing over the key, Shi Huaishan walked alone on the deserted street, the cold wind made his ears and nose red, but his mind was only thinking about how to steal something, and he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet.

The curfew in Luo country is not strict, and only places with poor public security have curfews, and the capital city is definitely not among them.

At this time, there were still several restaurants, brothels, Nanfeng Pavilion, casinos, etc. on the street, and the places that specialize in night business were not closed, and Shi Huaishan passed by without squinting.

At the entrance of the restaurant, there was a drunk man walking crookedly, his clothes were wide open, revealing a gold pendant inside, which reflected the light of the restaurant lanterns, making him look very rich.

He looked around drunkenly, trying to figure out the direction and find his way home.

Unexpectedly, a thin and short man came out from the side alley, supported the drunk man, and said: "Master, I didn't expect you to come out to drink in the middle of the night, and you didn't bring anyone with you. What should I do if my wife finds out? "

Shi Huaishan didn't care at all, but when he heard the thin short man's words, he frowned: No!

He had seen this drunk before.

Shi Huaishan's meat pie shop is very famous in the neighborhood, and drunks will come to buy it, sometimes by himself, sometimes by a servant.

Once, when a servant came to buy meatloaf, Shi Huaishan casually chatted with him, knowing that his master accidentally made a fortune in business, but after returning home, his old father had died, leaving his master alone , so drinking and having fun all day long.

Since you are a loner, where is your wife from?
Shi Huaishan turned away from the footsteps that were about to leave, and walked towards the drunk.

When the thin, short man saw him coming, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he said sternly, "Who are you? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of robbers like you..."

Looking at the open skirt of the drunk man, he did not see the golden reflection, and the gold pendant was taken away by him.

Shi Huaishan said indifferently: "I am his neighbor and a scholar. If you don't want to be sent to prison, just obediently return the pendant to him."

The thin and short man wanted to argue, but was stopped by Shi Huaishan.

The dwarf's face turned red and turned pale, but finally the desire of "not wanting to go to jail" prevailed, and he took out the gold pendant from his pocket extremely unwillingly and gave it back to the drunk.

The drunk man only knew to hold the pendant and giggle.

Shi Huaishan forced the dwarf to support the drunk, went to the nearest inn together, put him in front of the shopkeeper, and asked him to find a room for the drunk to rest, anyway, the drunk would give the money tomorrow.

The thin and short man thought that this would be all right, and was about to walk away, but Shi Huaishan grabbed his clothes: "Wait a minute! Don't leave yet!"

The thin and short man complained in his heart, he had never seen such a single-minded person before.

"Master, I beg you to do me a favor. If it wasn't forced by life, who would want to come out and become a thief? I also returned the things, and the old man is safe, can you let the little one go?"

Of course Shi Huaishan didn't stop him purely for the sake of being a hero, and he is not such a pedantic person, why did he hold on to him?
"Can you pick the lock?"

The thin, short man was shocked, and quickly denied it.He thought he was the one who had broken open the door and stole it, but now he has found him.

Shi Huaishan was impatient to spend more time talking with him, so he took out a piece of silver and said, "I have several boxes of family heirlooms in my house, but they were locked. You taught me how to open the lock, and this piece of silver is yours." gone."
