    The rainy season in the imperial city will not end until the end of June, and now the sky is gray again, and it seems that it is about to rain again.

    Li Ruoshui and the two were still in the teahouse. She glanced outside, but she was not in a hurry.

    Now that she is here today, she still wants to hear the story of the storyteller last time.

    After all, she already knows now that this is the past of Lu Zhiyao's master and Yufeng Villa.

    She had a hunch that this abduction and trafficking case had a lot to do with Yufeng Villa.

    "……What are you thinking?"

    Lu Zhiyao turned his head to the side, and because the two were too close, he almost kissed her auricle.

    "I was thinking, why are we so close?"

    Li Ruoshui glanced at him with a smile. They were now so close that she could see the roots of his eyelashes, and so close that she could kiss his side face with a pout.

    The two-person bench squeezed two people on the left side abruptly, and the right side was wide enough that one could sit on it.

    Lu Zhiyao's brows were curved, and she could even see his eyelashes pressed down, slightly spread out, and there was still sunlight on them.

    "Have you forgotten what happened this morning? With so many people trying to hurt you, I am naturally protecting you."

    No, you're just trying to find an excuse to post with me.

    Li Ruoshui supported the stool and leaned back slightly.

    "Being so close to the bench will only have one consequence."

    When Lu Zhiyao was slightly lost, Li Ruoshui retracted his legs supporting the stool, the bench became unbalanced, and the two turned over.

    This was obviously something Lu Zhi didn't know about. When he fell, he subconsciously hugged Li Ruoshui's waist, but the distance was too short, and the two of them still sat on the ground.

    This noise attracted the attention of others in the teahouse, after all, such things are not common.

    Looking at Lu Zhiyao's stunned look, Li Ruoshui couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.

    "Is it fun? Do you still want to be so close in the future?"

    Lu Zhiyao reached out and touched her waist and buttocks, making sure there was nothing wrong, then he loosened his eyebrows and smiled softly.

    "You can stand up by yourself, let me fall, and do something to put me under it."

    That said, but he has always liked unexpected things. Maybe others will find it boring, but he will only think that Li Ruoshui understands him.

    Such a thing was very new to him, and with her, she would tell him many little things that happened in life.

    Lu Zhiyao automatically filtered her words not to be too close, and understood her actions as sharing.

    She is sharing with herself.

    "Are you two okay?"

    Just as the two of them were talking and laughing and sitting back in their seats, a slightly old voice suddenly came in beside them.

    "what's up?"

    Lu Zhiyao smiled unabated, tilted his head to face him, and asked a question first, with a gentle voice.

    Seeing that he was blocking him, Li Ruoshui couldn't help but tilt his body, exposing his head to look at the opposite.

    It was the storyteller who told the story of Yufeng Villa.

    Looking at Lu Zhiyao's gentle smile, and looking at Li Ruoshui's lively expression, he relaxed a little, stroked his beard and smiled.

    "It's nothing. I just saw the two of them collapsed here, so I couldn't help but come up to see the situation. It was the sweetheart who was making trouble, but I was busy."

    They were on the second floor at this time, and Li Ruoshui glanced at the audience, where someone was telling a story.

    She pressed Lu Zhi's shoulders and sat on the other side, facing the storyteller directly.

    "Sir, please sit down, won't you tell the story of Yufeng Villa today?"

    He was very fond of these two juniors, so he stroked his beard and sat down according to the words.

    "The matter of Yufeng Villa has been spread all over the world, and the number of events is relatively small. I won't talk about it today."

    Seeing that Li Ruoshui had something serious to ask, Lu Zhiyao didn't interrupt, and just sat obediently behind her, making a beautiful background that could only laugh.

    However, there was a trace of annoyance and helplessness in this beautiful background. He was the one who stayed with her all day, so why should her attention always be taken away?

    "That's it." Li Ruoshui smiled at the storyteller, pushed the fruit plate on the table to him, and skillfully set it up.

    "Can you tell us about the follow-up alone now, you can give us tea money."

    The storyteller took a careful look at the two people in front of them, whose auras were very different, and told him of his many years of storytelling experience.

    The story of these two is not simple.

    He smiled, twitched his beard and opened his mouth.

    "Of course this is possible, but I don't need tea money. I have a hobby of listening to stories in my life - maybe you can tell me your stories?"

    Li Ruoshui raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse with a smile.

    "Although many people in the imperial city have heard this story, it all came from me, and I saw the tragedy at Yufeng Villa with my own eyes, and there are many details that I haven't told."

    Li Ruoshui refused to turn his hand and patted: "Yes."

    The storyteller squinted his eyes and raised his lower jaw to her: "Then you can ask anything."

    Li Ruoshui rubbed his fingers and asked him in a low voice, "Is that He Wenmo really having a good relationship with Mrs. Xu?"

    The old man suddenly sneered: "You little girl asked the right question, and you got to the point. This He Wenmo, but what I have seen in my life,

    The most disgusting man. "

    "Okay, this is the third one."

    Jiang Nian put down the woman on his back, turned around and poured tea at the table.

    This is Lu Feiyue's room. At this time, three women were lying on her bed and couch, all of them unconscious.

    Recently, those people have loosened up the custody of these abducted women a lot. She and Jiang Nian plan to search for evidence in private to find the source of the abduction.

    And these are three of the earliest women with strange origins in the imperial city.

    The buyer's novelty to them has passed, and they have long been marginalized. When Jiang Nian passed away, there were only one or two people around them to supervise them.

    "I put a drug on it, the effect is very long, we have time."

    After listening to Jiang Nian's words, Lu Feiyue nodded and turned around to give the three women an antidote.

    They woke up slowly. When they saw Lu Feiyue and the two of them, they all shrank back, trying to block themselves with something.

    "Don't be afraid, I'm the arresting officer of the police department."

    She took out the sign and showed it to the three of them. They looked at each other, then calmed down, but they only looked at her occasionally.

    "I brought you here this time to inquire about the real history of your coming to the Imperial City. Don't say that you came to the Imperial City to "marry". I know that you are related to abduction and trafficking."

    The three women looked at her, then lowered their eyelashes, one of them. asked boldly.

    "We are married here, why don't you believe it... Could it be that your lord wants to use lynching?"

    "No..." Lu Feiyue frowned, a little helpless in her cold eyes.

    After drinking tea, Jiang Nian walked up to smooth things out.

    "Don't get me wrong, she is just a little anxious, so she speaks more directly, not to force a confession from you."

    He smiled brightly and poured a cup of tea for each of the three to ease the atmosphere.

    "We won't talk about the cause and effect. There is only one sentence. We can solve the poison in your body, but I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."

    The three looked at each other again, a little surprised that they were able to say something about the poison.

    Because the woman who had been burying her head raised her eyes, her pupils were black and seemed a little hollow.

    "Are you really here to investigate... You won't end up with the same cause again, I don't want to experience something like that again."

    Lu Feiyue walked up to her with a serious face and firm eyes.

    "I will definitely investigate to the end. Not only me, my master, and our police department will do their best."

    The woman's nose was sore, tears flowed down without warning, and there was great sadness in her empty eyes, but she still endured it.

    "...If you detoxify our Gu poison first, we will believe you. I know Dan Qing, and I can draw the image of the biggest connector in the imperial city. I have seen him before."

    Lu Feiyue sighed and took out the acupuncture bag.

    "Even if you don't know anything, I will still help you detoxify, so don't be so nervous."

    Jiang Nian stood up sensible and went outside to avoid it.

    After a long time, the door was opened from the house, which meant that their gu poison had been resolved.

    Everyone had black blood on their lips and looked terrifying, but they really felt that their bodies were much more relaxed.

    One of them wiped the blood from his lips, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, and said everything he knew.

    "Their business is a one-way relationship. If there is any demand, they will write it on a note, put it in a wooden box, and then give a price that they can afford. Someone will receive the note soon."

    Lu Feiyue frowned, wrote down these testimony in a notebook, and then asked.

    "Which crate?"

    She shook her head: "I don't know, but it seems to be easy to find. I saw that he came back soon after he went out. Maybe someone came to collect it."

    Another person nodded and added: "And the place where we are imprisoned in the imperial city is very large, in the basement, it is difficult to find that kind of place."

    Lu Feiyue wrote down all the testimonies. There are not many basements in the imperial city, which makes it much easier to investigate.

    And the person who painted it endured the pain and drew the person in her nightmare.

    This would be very important evidence.

    Lu Feiyue looked at the person in the portrait, it was an old man, not very good-looking, but he looked familiar.

    Where has she seen it?

    After pondering for a while, she turned to look at the three people: "Wait a while, we will send you out of the city..."

    "No." Unexpectedly, they all refused.

    "Let's go and startle the snake. Anyway, nothing will happen in the imperial city, so I won't cause trouble for you."

    Lu Feiyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and looked at Jiang Nian.

    "You send them back, and I will find my master with the portrait. She must recognize who this person is."

    "Okay."

    Jiang Nian nodded, carried one of them on his back, and looked at them: "I'll take her back first, and I'll take you back later."

    The voice fell behind, he jumped up the wall with his back behind his back, and then left here.

    Lu Feiyue lived near the police department, but her master went out to investigate the case today, so she had to go to South Street to find her.

    "It's very safe here. That person will send you back safely just now. I have to find my master first, and I can't accompany you here."

    Lu Feiyue comforted the other two for a while and prepared to go out.

    She originally wanted to put the portrait in her arms, or in the bag, but for some reason, she suddenly thought of Li Ruoshui's words.

    "Sister Lu, you can't put important things like this. If you want to be surprised, you should put them in your clothes instead of in your arms. No one will search there."

    This piece of paper was torn from her booklet. It was the size of a palm, and it was a small square when folded.

    Lu Feiyue paused for a moment, and with a subtle expression, she put the small cube into her jacket and pressed it tightly against herself.

    This move is so "Li Ruoshui" that there is something wrong with her walking posture.

    ...

    Lu Feiyue didn't know, there was one word to describe her change, that is: Lu Feiyue became hydrated.

    There was something stuck on her chest, Lu Feiyue was walking down the street uncomfortably, suddenly someone bumped her and tried to pull her into the alley.

    Lu Feiyue immediately drew a knife to fight back, but during the fight between the two, she still entered the alley.

    There, many people in black were waiting for her.

    Thunder rolled in the sky, and it seemed that it was about to rain again.

    Pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and hawkers selling food were also preparing to close their stalls and go home.

    Moisture is slowly engulfed in the air, and the teahouse is extremely hot, which is a sign that summer is coming.

    Li Ruoshui was very afraid of heat, so she simply rolled up her sleeves, fanned herself with a fan, and listened to the story seriously.

    But Lu Zhi was still very close to her, and she even had an illusion that he seemed to be sniffing at her.

    Although he knew that he was a pervert, it was rare to express himself without pretense.

    She touched his face with her backhand, hoping that he would be more serious, after all, it was also about him.

    But Lu Zhiyao seemed to be comforted by his master, he turned his head and gently pressed her hand to her lips, stroking her fingertips with her lips.

    The empty heart was gently filled again, and he was quiet.

    Then he took out the folding fan pinned to his waist, and fanned out the cool wind again and again.

    He knew that Li Ruoshui was afraid of heat, and he had been wearing a fan since the temperature rose.

    Li Ruoshui was listening to the story, but he was hugging her waist, his eyebrows were gentle, and his attention was all on her.

    The storyteller half rolled up his sleeves, smiled and squinted at their interaction, and ate the peanuts on the plate, talking while eating.

    "This He Wenmo is sleazy. I've heard the story for so many years, but I've never seen such a two-faced eater."

    "Don't look at what I said before, but it's all because there are people from Yufeng Villa who come to listen to the book in the teahouse. I don't dare to say nonsense, that is to smear their former villa owner."

    "The encounter of love at first sight, the beauty of the hero saving the beauty, are all plans written on paper, and the strokes of the pen are revealed, all of which are shameful filth."

    "It was all planned by him."
