This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 215 Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years in Hexi

The night is getting darker.

Luo Zijun talked to Chu Jian and Miss Jia Er for a while, then said goodbye and left.

Return to Junziju.

Two little girls were sitting on his bed, doing needlework and helping him warm the quilt.

Luo Zijun walked into the room and said, "Be careful not to drop the needle on the bed. If you prick my butt, I'll make you pay!"

They both burst into laughter.

Xiao Huan put away her needlework and said, "Sir, do you want me to accompany you tonight, or do you want Sister Zhi Yuan to accompany you?"

Luo Zijun asked: "Can both of you accompany me?"

The two of them burst out laughing.

Xiao Huan laughed and said, "Young Master is really greedy."

Luo Zijun was not joking and said, "I will read by candlelight tonight."

Xiao Huan said: "But Sister Zhi Yuan's chastity cloth is ready. You promised Sister Zhi Yuan."

Zhiyuan blushed and said, "Studying is important, young master."

Luo Zijun glanced at her and said, "Wait a couple of days. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet."

Xiao Huan snorted, "Next time, if you go out and get bitten again, I will tell the Madam, humph!"

Luo Zijun asked: "Which lady?"

Xiao Huan said: "The lady of the Suguo Mansion, the elder sister of the young master."

Luo Zijun immediately threatened: "If you dare to say anything, I will sell you to the vegetable market and sell you to the butcher Zhu Er there!"

"I am not afraid!"

Xiaohuan got out of bed with a smile and left the room with the needlework and silk cloth.

Zhiyuan was also getting ready to get out of bed, and said with a smile, "Young Master, hurry up, it's very warm under the quilt."

As he said this, he lowered his head to put on his shoes, but couldn't find them.

"Xiao Huan, where are my shoes?"

Xiaohuan's voice came from outside the door: "I don't know, did he run under the bed?"

Zhiyuan sat on the edge of the bed, looking down. Under the soft pink gauze skirt, there was a pair of slender and delicate bare white jade feet, exposed in the dim light and someone's sight.

She didn't find her shoes, so she had to get back on the bed, and lay on the edge of the bed, with her head poking under the bed to look for them. Her black hair fell down, and her bulging pink bellyband was flattened, revealing a touch of snow-white skin and contours under her white neck...

She finally saw the shoes and was about to reach out to take them when a hand suddenly reached behind her neck and gently pulled.

The red string of the bellyband tied around her neck was untied.

She was stunned for a moment, and raised her head. Her delicate cheeks were suddenly stained with two blushes, which made her look charming and attractive under the light. Her sparkling eyes were suddenly filled with shyness: "Sir...you, what are you doing?"

"Humph, why would I ask you this? Are you doing this on purpose?"

After Luo Zijun finished speaking, he went straight to the bed, lowered the curtains, then carried her in and stuffed her into the warm quilt.

Xiao Huan said from outside: "Sister Zhi Yuan, you haven't found your shoes yet? Do you want me to go in and help you find them?"

Luo Zijun said to the outside: "Xiao Huan, go to sleep by yourself, I will help her find it."

After saying that, he also crawled into the quilt.

Xiaohuan seemed to understand something, said "Oh", and went back to her room.

"Tell me, was this intentional?"

In the warm quilt, Luo Zijun pressed down a naughty little girl.

Zhiyuan blushed, looked at him with watery eyes, and smiled: "No."

"Humph, you're not honest!"

Luo Zijun hid his head in the quilt and decided to teach her a lesson.

Zhiyuan immediately covered her mouth and opened her eyes wide.

"Humph, young master is so hypocritical. He clearly said that he would study by candlelight tonight, but in the end... Humph."

In another room, Xiaohuan was sitting on the bed, muttering while doing needlework.

One night passed quietly.

The next day.

Luo Zijun did not go out again. After saying something to Xiaohuan and Zhiyuan, he went to the backyard to practice.

Now that he has been promoted to the fifth level of warrior, the power of both the Fiery Finger and the Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar Fist have been greatly increased.

In the evening, he began to take a medicinal bath.

He practiced at home for three days a day.

He practiced boxing during the day and cultivated his soul at night. He didn't know whether it was because of his physique or the medicine, but he felt that he was about to advance again.

This evening.

He was just about to finish the medicinal bath and was about to go to the backyard to practice the Fiery Finger for a while when Huaer knocked on the door and said that the third young lady was here.

Luo Zijun quickly asked Xiaohuan to open the door.

Bai Qingtong entered the courtyard with a serious look on her face. After the maids had all left, she spoke, "Chai Jiu committed suicide in the cell, and we still haven't gotten anything out of him. The Qinghai Gang has been wiped out, and some people have been captured, but they're still being interrogated. Also, Tanchun is here today, and she asked me to tell you some news."

"Miss San, please take a seat."

Luo Zijun asked her to sit down and talk, then went to pour her a cup of tea.

Bai Qingtong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued, "Tanchun has been secretly investigating Lai Da for some time. She did find some illegal things, all of which were done in the name of the Jia family. She also found out that the family built a small garden, which cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, but she has not found any evidence that he took the Jia family's money."

"The other party's son, Lai Shangrong, is the county magistrate in Lin County. In fact, he also bought the position with money. Lai Shangrong's mansion has many warriors. Every month, Lai Da would send people to Lin County and bring a lot of money."

"Also, Lai Da seems to know that Tanchun is investigating her. He has dismissed many servants in the past few days, and some people in his house have also gone to Lin County. Just today, Lai Da proposed the idea of ​​resigning as the chief butler, but was scolded by Lai Ma, and Jia Mu did not agree..."

After listening to this, Luo Zijun sneered and said, "Are you going to run away?"

Bai Qingtong looked at him and said, "Now that he sees that the situation is not right, he probably wants to leave. If he quits the Jia Mansion and goes to Lin County, considering his son's business in Lin County, it will probably be difficult for you to take revenge."

Luo Zijun asked: "His son also practices martial arts?"

Bai Qingtong nodded and said, "I heard from Tanchun that Lai Da has been letting his son practice martial arts since he was young, and he has also spent a lot of money on buying medicinal herbs. His son's current strength is estimated to have reached the eighth level of martial arts."

Luo Zijun pondered for a moment and said, "His son has already been freed from slavery, but he seems to still have a slave contract with the Jia family. He can only leave if the Jia family agrees, right?"

Bai Qingtong said: "That's right. However, considering Lai Ma's high prestige in the Jia family and Jia Mu's favor, it is actually very easy for the other party to get rid of his slavery."

"Oh, by the way, Tanchun mentioned this to Grandmother Jia alone yesterday, and tried to test her, saying that Lai Da may have embezzled a lot of money as the housekeeper of the Jia family over the years, otherwise the house would not have been built so luxuriously. Grandmother Jia didn't seem to agree, saying that Nanny Lai was loyal to the Jia family and had served two generations of dukes, so it was okay even if Lai Da embezzled some money."

Luo Zijun said, "So, Grandmother Jia is actually unreliable. Even if Miss Tanchun has evidence that Lai Da embezzled the Jia family's money, it is actually useless. The Jia family can't catch him, right?"

Bai Qingtong said: "Tanchun said the same thing. She said that she can't help you much. She can only help you find out some information and collect some evidence. The rest is up to you."

Luo Zijun said: "She has helped me a lot. As for the rest, I naturally need to do it myself."

Bai Qingtong looked at him with some concern and said, "Brother-in-law, what do you want to do?"

Luo Zijun pondered for a moment and said, "I will go to Jia's mansion in person in two days. I want to meet him in person."

Bai Qingtong said: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Then he smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law is a warrior. It would be a waste if you don't take her with you."

Luo Zijun smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law."

Bai Qingtong smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you're welcome. Just remember to buy a candy man for your sister-in-law when the time comes."

Luo Zijun: “…”

Bai Qingtong chatted with him for a while, then said goodbye and left.

After returning to his own courtyard, Bai Qingtong went straight into the house, changed into a set of tight clothes, and then went to the backyard to practice sword.

After practicing for an hour, she went to take a shower, and then said to Hua'er, "Go tell Aunt Ruan later that I'm going to hunt in Cangyun Mountain tomorrow. I feel like I should be close to a breakthrough."

Hua'er agreed and asked worriedly, "Miss, are you going in alone again?"

Bai Qingtong said: "Of course I'm alone, you guys just stay outside and guard. If there's any danger, I'll come out naturally."

Huaer knew her temper and didn't say anything more.

Night fell quickly.

After practicing the Fiery Finger in the backyard for a while, Luo Zijun returned to his room.

The bed had been replaced with new bedding, sheets and pillows.

Last night, we punished the girl Zhiyuan and made a mess. She got up shyly and changed early in the morning.

As for the blood-stained cloth, after showing it to Xiaohuan, he put it away solemnly.

It is said that the thing must be shown to another person the next day, so that there will be no confusion in the future.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Luo Zijun's soul left his body and he continued to cultivate his soul.

That night, he met the white cat named Daidai again. He originally just wanted to go over and say hello, but who would have thought that he would be suddenly beaten up by the cat.

He fought back bravely, but was already defeated and had to flee in embarrassment.

When asked the reason, the other party just meowed coldly without responding, and even used the object control technique to throw a lot of mud at him.

He could only swear: "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west! Don't look down on me! When I reach the realm of controlling objects, I will definitely throw all the shit in the toilet on your head!"

The next day.

He got up early, said something to the two maids, and went out.

He is going out of town to hunt today.
