MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 73
An Ruochen opened his mouth wide. It was only dimly lit when Li Mingyu took the bell, and the light was not clear. Unless he got close, he couldn't see his face clearly. But if he got close and took a look at his face, Li Mingyu would definitely Find. An Ruochen faltered: "General, what if, I mean, what if Li Changshi is wronged?"
Long Dayuan looked at her with interest, and sat up straight: "Tell me."
An Ruochen thought for a long time: "I just think what the general said before is reasonable. The evidence he produced is so detailed, and the one who framed me is indeed very perfunctory. Mr. Xie or Mr. Min, they are always meticulous in their work. Look at Xu Matchmaker, In old man Chen's cases, he didn't leave any evidence to trace him. Including this time when Li Changshi fell to his death, he didn't leave any clues about Mr. Xie or Mr. Min. There are only clues about Li Changshi's own crimes, right? "
Long Da nodded: "If that's the case, we're back where we started."
"It's not just back to the original point. It also sacrificed a good talent who was loyal to the general."
Long Da turned his head to look at her, looked at her, his eyes were as gentle as water, and he spoke with a soft voice: "You know he doesn't like you."
"What does that matter?" An Ruochen became more and more sad as he thought about it, "It's good for him to be loyal to the general. Maybe it's because he doesn't like me, so the spy took advantage of it. Maybe Li Changshi wanted to protect me as much as possible. General, eliminate the monsters around the general."
Long Da frowned: "If that's the case, it's my fault. He told me about your badness and doubts about you, and I got angry when I heard that, so I just said that he was worrying too much and didn't comfort you well. explain."
"Don't be angry, many people don't like me." An Ruochen twisted her fingers, "When I'm at home, almost no one likes me."
"I like you."
An Ruochen was taken aback. Turning to look at Long Da.
"I like you." Long Da said again.
An Ruochen was even more stunned.
"Although this is not a good time, it seems unkind to Li Changshi to say such things at this time, but I can't seem to find a good time to say it."
An Ruochen was acting foolishly.
Long Da waited for a long time, couldn't help but frowned, and became angry from embarrassment: "What is your expression, I said this, and you reacted like this?"
An Ruochen managed to force out a sincere question for a long time: "What are we talking about now?"
"Speaking of which, the general doesn't want to talk to you anymore." Long Da stood up abruptly, turned around and left.
An Ruochen jumped up in fright, and quickly followed behind. "General."
Long Da ignored her, untied Ru Feng's reins, and prepared to go back.
"General." An Ruochen didn't know whether to coax the general first or quickly untie the war drum, otherwise the general would jump on his horse and run away before coaxing him, and it would be too late for her to untie the war drum.
"General." Let's coax the general first.
Long Da suddenly turned around, lowered his head, pointed his nose at An Ruochen's, and asked her, "What did I just say?"
"The general said he doesn't want to talk to me anymore." An Ruochen answered honestly.
"Yes, I don't want to talk to you anymore." Long Da got on his horse, grabbed the horse's belly and left.
An Ruochen was dumbfounded again, isn't she, really angry? Hurry up to untie the war drum and ride your horse to catch up. It's okay, okay, the general can't ride fast, so it's not hard to chase.
Long Da's face was stinky and ugly, An Ruochen secretly glanced at him several times, not daring to strike up a conversation. Long Da didn't speak, until he entered the East City Gate, Long Da suddenly said: "The matter of Li Changshi still needs to be investigated. Please don't say anything, if he is really being used and wronged, first let Zhen Xizuo feel at ease. They thought they had succeeded, and if they took it lightly, we would have a chance."
"Okay, okay." An Ruochen quickly responded. Said that the investigation was much better, and her mind returned to normal.
That night, An Ruochen didn't sleep well. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard Long Da say "I like you", and when I closed my eyes again, I heard Long Da say "I don't want to talk to you anymore".
An Ruochen sighed, it's better to think about Li Mingyu's matter carefully, is he really secretive or fake? After thinking about it, he closed his eyes and heard Long Da say "I like you" again. An Ruochen wailed, pulled up the quilt and buried herself, only to hear Long Da say "I don't want to talk to you anymore".
An Ruochen checked with Mrs. Lu once. When Miss Cui saw someone picking up the bell, could she see the facial features of the person clearly from a distance? Aunt Lu replied to confirm that the sky was very dark and she couldn't see clearly. An Ruochen knew that someone in the yamen had been bribed. At least now I can be sure that the Yachai who said he saw Li Changshi's appearance is one.
Then An Ruochen discovered that she was being ignored by General Long. Oh, no, the word "neglected" should not be used between her and the general. The general is busy, so they often can't see each other, which is normal. When the general said he liked it, he probably wanted to express his appreciation. Because she could understand the general's doubts about the case.
An Ruochen decided to investigate the yamen quietly first. So, taking the opportunity of sending Fang Yuanfang back to the prefect's mansion, she went to the yamen, so coincidentally, she met An Zhifu beating drums to report the case.
The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were really staring at each other when they saw each other again. After staring for a long time, An Zhifu snorted coldly and turned his head away. An Ruochen guessed why he was beating the drums, and really wanted to stay and watch his embarrassment, but seeing An Ruoxi at the side, forget it. If you want to talk about marriage with her in the future, it's better to leave room.
An Ruochen gave An Zhifu a supercilious look, and left.
Tan stared at her back and jumped, cursed a few words, but was persuaded by An Ruoxi.
An Zhifu came this time to sue Liu Deli, the merchant ship secretary, for oppressing the people and extorting money. This was a plan he had thought about for a long time and discussed with An Ronggui and Tan Shi. Anyway, Liu Deli lost his power and went to jail. Instead of being stabbed by him, saying that they lured him to release goods in violation of the law, it is better for him to sue him first.
As a result, the result of this lawsuit was "terrible", and Liu Deli was escorted out to confront An Zhifu face to face. Liu Deli denied everything, saying that he and An Zhifu had never discussed and communicated with An Zhifu about the jade goods. An Zhifu didn't take the goods when they arrived, and put them in the warehouse of the Merchant Shipping Department for a long time before taking them away. It's all done with clear procedures and rules, so how could there be any violation of the law?
An Zhifu couldn't bring Qian Pei into it, so he had to say over and over again that he begged Liu Deli many times at that time, and ate several times, so why didn't he admit it. As a result, the **** checked the files, and found that the shipment had indeed arrived long before he ordered the customs and trade to be closed, and it had indeed been stored in the warehouse of the Merchant Shipping Department for many days, and then An Zhifu signed and took it away. An Zhifu was not included in Liu Deli's list of bribes.
This is false accusation! Yao Kun was very upset. He spent a long time in the trial, went through many files, and wasted a lot of time and energy. He thought he was too free. The Merchant and Shipbuilding Department must have been caught by the merchants on weekdays, but An Zhifu actually wanted to beat the dog in the water to vent his anger. This trend cannot last long. Report wrongdoing, sue if you have a case, and fight if you have nothing to do! Otherwise, in the future, if everyone has nothing to do to complain, that's fine.
So An Zhifu was beaten twenty times and thrown out of the yamen.
An's family was stunned, a bolt from the blue. The goods were not taken out in violation of the law, so Qian Pei said that he was about to be beheaded. When An Zhifu was taken home, he was furious, and scolded Qian Pei who had framed him, and An Ruochen who had tipped them off for three days and three nights.
An Ruoxi was so angry that she couldn't sleep, she didn't dare to appear in front of her father, and was taught by her mother again. She wanted to find An Ruochen to lose her temper, but found that there was no fault of her in this matter. You said it was illegal to take goods, didn't you? Who is to blame!
When An Ruochen heard the news that An Zhifu was beaten, he felt happy for a while, and then was suppressed by sadness again.
Mr. Xie didn't know who it was, Mr. Min was not caught, and the truth of Li Mingyu's case was unknown. After Steward Fang returned to the prefect's mansion, she was very busy as steward of security, and now she had to add a difficult task of coaxing the general.
In An Ruochen's view, coaxing the general is the most difficult right now. If this is not done well, other things will be affected. She couldn't think of a good way to coax the general, but the general left early and returned late, and he didn't come to her for a walk or ride a horse anymore, so she didn't even have a chance to try a stupid method.
If something could happen right now, let her hug the general's thigh and cry... An Ruochen thought about it and got goosebumps.
Or if there is some clue that she can have a serious discussion with the general about "national affairs", um, this is better. They used to be like this too. But after thinking about it and collecting information, she didn't know anything about it except that the clerk who gave false testimony to frame Liu Mingyu was called Jiang Man. At least she had to find something to say before she could accuse Jiang Man and ask the adults to investigate.
Just worrying, it turned out that it was really not easy to "hook up" the general.
That morning, An Ruo got up quickly before dawn, pretending to go to the stables to brush and feed the war drums, waiting for Long Da. "Hook up" fails, at least "encounter".
Really "encounter" on. Long Da came over to get on his horse and was about to go out. When he saw An Ruochen, he raised his eyebrows without saying a word.
An Ruochen shouted in his heart - what do these mean?
"Master An, good morning." A few guards greeted.
This reminded An Ruochen, and she hurriedly said, "Good morning, General."
"Yeah." Long Da deserved to be so calm.
The guards got on the horses, and those who made out with the horses first made out. The groom had already pulled Rufeng over, Long Da stopped looking at An Ruochen, and got on the horse, An Ruochen felt quite hurt in his heart, Long Da looked back at her, and she regained her spirits.
In the end, Long Da asked her: "Guan An was here earlier, but you have something to say to me?"
An Ruochen opened his mouth, wanting to say "General, let's make up", but couldn't say it, how embarrassing, as if they had "better" before, if you want to say "General, what kind of temper are you having?" He made his temper worse. Alas, so it's good to have something serious to say. An Ruochen suddenly thought of one thing, and hurriedly said: "I haven't found a chance to tell the general that I am dealing with my sister. I promised her to find a good marriage for her in another county. I don't know if the general has someone from another county. You can introduce your connections to me, I will talk to some matchmakers and meet some good young men."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice was, because Long Da's face became more and more ugly. An Ruochen wanted to sigh again, and sure enough, the general's heart sank. He had clearly communicated with him about this before, but he hadn't discussed it seriously.
