It had been many days since she left Beidi. Li Haitang had something important to attend to and could not return the same way. She had to pray that the bandits only robbed valuable things and did not kill anyone.

She only got the news after leaving the border town and walking to the boundary of Fancheng. However, when the news reached Fancheng, it would inevitably be delayed. Therefore, according to time calculation, Zhang Ruyi and his wife were not around when the bandits robbed the surrounding villages.

However, if this is the case, Lu's mother will be in bad luck.

No matter what, Li Haitang had an ominous premonition holding Jade Ruyi in his hand.

She lit the oil lamp in front of the table, spread out the letter paper, and wanted to send a letter to Zhang Ruyi. She wanted to report that she was safe first, and then talked about Yu Ruyi. She kept it until the two sisters met, and returned it to its original owner. .

"Madam, why don't we wait until tomorrow."

The situation is not clear enough, at least until Xiaozhu finds the person selling the jade pendant, he can follow the clues and figure out the whole story.

I just don’t know how many hands the jade pendant fell into that person’s hand.

"Sir, I know."

Li Haitang sighed. She could only stay for one morning at most tomorrow. If she couldn't see her last family, she would leave. After all, she had important things to do, so it was better to hurry.

Feeling vaguely worried about Zhang Ruyi, Li Haitang propped her head on her elbows and looked sideways at her savage husband. She thought of something, sniffed with her nose, and then showed an intoxicated look on her face, "Husband, you smell so good!"

Xiao Lingchuan:......

When he came back, he washed up again. Was there still the scent of osmanthus on his body? Xiao Lingchuan decided to change the fragrance next time.

Thinking of the charming scene during the massage, he couldn't help but get excited. He pretended to be careless and said, "Madam, after we entered the art shop, we were separated by male and female clerks. What did you know?"

"this……"

Li Haitang blinked, then chuckled.

Because the jade pendant made her feel a little depressed, she was not very interested when she came back. If the savage husband hadn't brought it up proactively, she would have probably skipped this topic.

"After the female waiter took me in, I found that there were relatively revealing paintings on all sides, and there were many women inside watching and interacting with each other."

When the wasp came up, Li Haitang couldn't help but light up the short and narcissistic hapless guy. Although he will soon bid farewell to the short boy, the price he has to pay is not small.

After Xiao Lingchuan listened, he secretly touched his forehead with his hands, and there were huge cracks on his facial expression.

It is true that women are the most poisonous people. If a man has no capital, he will still have to endure pain if he is looked down upon.

Not only would it be embarrassing to be stung by a wasp, but the pain alone would be unbearable for most people!

Fortunately, he had never been worried in this regard, especially after hearing the discussion among those men, he realized that his needs were a little strong, and he had suffered from his wife in the past.

"Then...what didn't the female clerk recommend you to buy?"

There were several utensils on the man's side, which were said to harmonize the relationship between the couple. Xiao Lingchuan felt that he did not need them, so he left first.

He spent a lot of time with his wife, which meant that Li Haitang was included.

"What should I buy?"

Li Haitang pretended to be stupid. She had taken the initiative to confess, but the savage husband did not tell her what he had seen.

"There were more than a dozen men inside, but they didn't say much."

Xiao Lingchuan coughed slightly and looked unnatural. Logically speaking, he was not a gossip.

He was about to leave when he heard the other person talk about his experience, so he listened patiently for a while. I am not an experienced person, so I have to gain some experience in practice.

He stuffed the pamphlet he bought into the carriage, thinking of relaxing for a day and reading it together as a couple.

After a night of tossing and turning, Li Haitang didn't sleep well.

The next day, as soon as the sky turned white, she couldn't lie down anymore and got up hastily, without eating a good breakfast. Not long after the meal, she said a few words and went to the teahouse at the agreed place to wait with her savage husband.

By this time, it was Si Shizheng. From full of hope at first to full of doubt, Li Haitang's patience was about to run out.

"Husband, why don't we go back? It's better not to delay our journey."

Li Haitang looked at the sky and decided to put the matter aside for now. She also knew that asking Xiao Zhuzhu to introduce the family was a bit difficult, so she had no intention of getting back the one hundred taels.

"Wait another quarter of an hour."

Xiao Lingchuan stood up, walked to the bed, and looked down through the cracks in the blinds.

Xiaozhu just happened to walk downstairs, and behind him, followed a man with a fair face and a bit like a scholar. He was coquettish, and the two talked in low voices from time to time.

"If I'm not wrong, the people brought by Xiaozhu don't look like my previous family."

Xiao Lingchuan does not judge people by their appearance, but relies on years of experience.

Li Haitang didn't comment. When the person approached the private room, she vaguely smelled the fragrance of ink on the other person's body, and she knew that the savage husband's conclusion was correct.

The visitor was very nervous, sitting on the chair stiffly and not daring to raise his head.

Xiao Zhuzhu was also helpless. He went to find someone. The jade seller Ruyi was very alert, so he sent this useless scholar to find out.

"Madam, this scholar is a relative of my previous family."

Xiaozhu wiped his sweat and thought that he didn't handle this matter very well. He just didn't know if he could get the remaining one hundred taels of silver.

Li Haitang nodded, gave Xiaozhu a hundred taels to reassure him, and then talked patiently with the scholar.

"My cousin said that he still has a lot of interesting things in his hand. It depends on whether you can digest them."

The scholar had no cousin at all. He clenched his hands and his body was trembling slightly. There was a group of bandits living next door to his house!

The bandit was wanted and he couldn't show his face to raise suspicion, so he kidnapped his mother and threatened him to come forward to contact him.

The bandits have a lot of good stuff, but they can't cash it in. What they need most now is silver and banknotes. With these things, they can leave Luo City and escape all the way to the south.

The jewelry street in Los Angeles collected jewelry of unknown origin, but for fear of arousing alarm, they did not dare to take out too much at once. They only bought the more valuable jade Ruyi and other small items to test the waters. Unexpectedly, it only took one day. , someone took the bait and wanted to trade privately.

The bandit called the scholar over and threatened that if he couldn't do anything good, he would make his mother look good!

The scholar followed Xiaozhu and showed up as his cousin. It was because the bandits did not believe in the ability to deal with people privately. What if they wanted to take advantage of others?

The bandits are not afraid at all, they just don't dare to cause trouble for fear of exposing their identity.

If the buyer is innocent and at least has enough money with him, they can safely let the scholar bring him over.

"As long as you have good goods, you don't have to worry about money." Li Haitang immediately understood the other party's intention. To put it bluntly, he wanted the scholar to verify the capital.
