Chapter 196 Goodbye to the old man
In the afternoon, Lu Jing and Yan Yun separated and stared at Geng and waited for the two for a while.
As a result, they did not find any abnormal movements or contacted people of unknown origin. Geng Nantianshen secretly sneaked to the north of the city.
However, Yan Yun followed him and found that he had just gone there to meet a lover. After the two of them, Geng Nantian picked up his pants and returned to the escort agency.
On the other side, Master Hou was a cultivator who was following Lu Jing. He had never moved in the afternoon, either staging horses or practicing boxing.
A set of ordinary Taizu Changquan was almost practiced by him to the level of great success. When he used it, he was very proud and powerful.
When the sun was about to set, just like yesterday, Lu Jing and Yan Yun received another message from Wang Wan, asking them to go home and have dinner together.
Yan Yun had actually advised Wang Wan to stop him. Now she and Lu Jing are still in the dark and ask Wang Wan to keep her original life. Suddenly ordering a large table of food and food from the restaurant may attract the attention of those who are interested.
However, after returning, Yan Yun found that she had been a little wrong with Wang Wan. This time, Wang Wan took two maids to cook in person. It is said that after two hours of cooking, it was only after cooking a table of delicious food.
Wang Wan accidentally burned her hand, so Yan Yun naturally didn't want to say anything else. But after everyone sat down, they asked about Wang Wan's selling her house today.
Wang Wan first peeled a crab leg for each of the two children and asked them to take it and eat it slowly. Then she said, "Hiss Lu and Sister Yan asked me to pay attention to who the buyers are. I have always kept this in my heart.
"Today, Yaren brought in a total of four buyers, including Qi Erye who is engaged in the canal transportation business, Li Dangjia, Silk Pu, and Yan Guardian from Sanhu Hall. In addition, there is a woman named Meng Xueru. I am a little unfamiliar with this name. She didn't say what she did, and I don't see the clothes on her body and the powder on her face, it seems that she is not very expensive.
"So I secretly asked Yaren afterwards, but Yaren reassured me that this girl Meng had extraordinary financial resources and had a silver note worth 5,000 taels before seeing the house."
Yan Yun's expression moved when she heard the name, "When did she come?"
"She came very early and arrived at the moment."
Facing Lu Jing's inquiring gaze, Yan Yun explained, "Meng Xueru is Geng Nantian's outer room. He was originally a brothel woman. Geng Nantian spent money to redeem her. However, his own wife is a shrew. Geng Nantian dared not take Meng Xueru home. In fact, he has been carefully hiding Meng Xueru's existence. Even if there is no one in the Tianma Escort Agency, they know their relationship, and..."
Yan Yun paused, "In the afternoon, Geng Nantian went to find Meng Xueru. I listened to the roof for a while and found that they were doing things like men and women, so they didn't listen anymore. But now it seems that Geng Nantian went to Meng Xueru's residence, probably not just to have fun with her, but also to inquire about Sister Wang's selling the house."
"Geng Nantian is an escort at the Tianma Escort Agency, and he is highly valued by Mr. Zhao. Although he earns a lot, he will definitely not save up 5,000 taels of silver for daily expenses and having to maintain an outdoor room and socialize in socializing. Therefore, the 5,000 taels of Meng Xueru's body is likely to come from the 10,000 taels of reward for the Su Dong family's secret escort." Lu Jing also continued.
Yan Yun nodded, "It seems that Geng Nantian does have a lot to do with Brother Su's death. As his lover, Meng Xueru should also have a lot of his secrets in her hands, so we can meet this Miss Meng next."
Yan Yun was so resolute that he had already raised his sword after saying that, and Lu Jing, who was beside him, put down the steamed buns in his hand and stood up from the chair when he saw this.
Wang Wan was stunned when she looked at the table of dishes that had not moved much. After a while, she said, "You, won't you go after finishing your meal?"
"Go early to avoid any more troubles." Yan Yun said, "It's okay, Sister Wang can leave us a dish or two, just wait until we come back to heat it up."
"Oh." Wang Wan seemed a little disappointed. The table of dishes tonight had condensed a lot of her efforts. You know, since she got married, she had not cooked several times. In order to prepare this meal tonight, she studied with her maid for a long time and had practiced it in advance.
But in the end she didn't complain, and just said gentlely to Yan Yun and Lu Jing, "Go early and come back early."
Just when the two were about to reach the door, Baoer and Chaier suddenly put down the chopsticks in their hands, ignored Wang Wan's shouting, and ran back to the inner hall, then ran out quickly to catch up with Lu Jing and Yan Yun who had just left the door.
I reached out and this time I handed over two bracelets made of grass stems.
Yan Yun half-squatted down, put one of them on his hand, then touched Baoer's head and said, "Don't worry, your father's Aunt Qiu Yan will definitely avenge you."
Lu Jing also took another grass-stem bracelet from Chai'er and thanked her. Then the two walked towards Meng Xueru's residence.
Meng Xueru has been living in Shizi Street in the north of the city after being redeemed by Geng Nantian from the brothel. Yan Yun has just arrived once in the afternoon, so she is familiar with the road.
However, when he walked outside Meng Xueru's door, Yan Yun found that Lu Jing suddenly stopped and then looked at a tea stall on the corner of the street.
Yan Yun followed Lu Jing's gaze and saw an old man sitting in front of a tea stall drinking tea. His hair was all gray, but his back was even straighter than that of a young man, as if nothing in this world could overwhelm him, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Lu Jing sighed, walked to the tea stall, and sat down opposite the old man with a beard.
The latter asked Dr. Tea to serve a bowl of herbal tea for Lu Jing and Yan Yun each, and then said, "How about it, are you still used to living in the capital?"
Lu Jing nodded, "Compared with Wujiang City, the climate in Lintianfu is drier, and there are not many rains, but it is better because of the wealth of people, the whole country is connected, and the momentum of the Tian family."
The old man with a beard nodded, "It's always good to see more of the world while he's young."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yan Yun who was beside him, "Is the Master Qiu in good health?"
At this time, Yan Yun could not guess who the old man with a beard was. He bowed and said, "Senior Meng is worried. His master is very healthy and his swordsmanship is also very advanced."
"You can still go further, and I am afraid that the Master Qiu Pavilion can do it in this world." The old man with a beard exclaimed.
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Jing. Lu Jing smiled bitterly, "Old Master Zhao, we are so familiar with each other, can we stop talking about such unnutritious gossip."
