Chapter 152 One Hundred and Fifty-Two Killings



Xu Jiang couldn't persuade them, so she had to let them go.

Afraid that they would catch a heat stroke, he boiled two pots of Laoyin tea, drew some well water to cool them down, and shared it with them.

The three of them were discussing "Marrying the Fox" under a tree, while Xu Jiang was checking books in the shop.

She found all the travel notes related to the Western Regions and prepared to select a few for Lou Yunchun to take away.

But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the book "Journey to Suiye City". She searched through all the bookshelves and finally remembered that the book was in Hu Xu's hands.

"Journey West to Suiye City" is a record of the journey from the capital to the four towns of Anxi, including the route to Liangzhou. It was originally given to Hu Xu to help Yuan Zuzhi find clues about Donglingzi's disciples, but he forgot to take it back after giving it to him.

I don’t know if Hu Xu found any clues.

Xu Jiang stuck her head out to look up at the sky. The sun was scorching brightly in the sky. She decided to go find him early tomorrow morning and stop by Da Ci'en Temple to meet Master Mo Ming.

Mo Ming came from the Western Regions. He had a feng shui map he drew himself, as well as some notes. He asked Lou Yunchun to take them with him, as they might come in handy.

Lou Yunchun traveled light on this trip, as bringing too many things would be a burden. Xu Jiang picked and chose the books she had selected, and finally only kept one book, "Travels on the Left Road in Hexi".

With this book, plus the book "Journey West to Suiye City" in Hu Xu's hand, and the feng shui map in Mo Ming's hand, Lou Yunchun could help her find her way back to the capital even with her eyes closed.

After finding the book, Xu Jiang began to make a list, filling a whole page with the dry food, medicine, and other items she needed to prepare. Then she sorted them by priority, crossing out the unnecessary ones. Finally, she copied the remaining items on a separate page, preparing to buy them together when she went out the next day.

After doing all this, I still felt something was missing, but I didn't know what was missing, so I wandered around the store, unable to find peace.

After going around in circles countless times, Xu Jiang finally realized that what was missing was himself.

It would be great if she could go with us, but unfortunately she can't leave her bookshop without someone.

This is the discomfort of being a merchant.

She drank two large bowls of tea in frustration, then cut some printing paper to copy the "New Edition of Mathematics" assigned by the Imperial College.

After copying half of the book, I finally calmed down.

Doing things makes people feel at ease.

And Lou Yunchun finally caught the black rabbit at the Qushui River sluice gate.

Zhao Xiu deftly tossed a piece of silver from under the wooden door and handed it to the guard guarding the sluice gate. The guard felt a chill running down his spine, as if a ghost were haunting him, but he had no choice but to pick up the silver, open the door, and let Zhao Xiu out.

Zhao Xiu just couldn't see what was happening inside the door, so he walked in without hesitation without any suspicion, and said casually,

"Thank you very much."

"polite."

Zhao Xiu was stunned, then quickly turned around and tried to run, but a hand closed the wooden door before him.

He turned to look at the person beside the wooden door, his expression calm.

"Lord Lou, long time no see."

Sensing the sarcasm and provocation in his words, Lou Yunchun didn't even frown, and simply said, "Come with me."

Then he pulled out a cloak from somewhere and wrapped Zhao Xiu up so that only her feet were exposed.

The teacher and the student met in the prison of Dali Temple, both of them were covered in sweat and stench, and there was no trace of joy of reunion on their faces.

"Lou Yunchun, you are not a human! How dare you humiliate me like this? You will not die a good death!"

"The case hasn't been concluded yet, and we haven't been convicted yet, yet you dare parade us through the streets? I will report this to His Majesty and have you demoted and severely punished!"

"You bastard! I curse you to hell!"

"It's so hot, I think you're planning murder! I'm going to report this to His Majesty!"

Hearing the shouting and cursing coming from next door, Mu Cong and Zhao Xiu's expressions improved a lot, and they were in the mood to salute.

Zhao Xiu bowed and said, "Student greets teacher."

Mu Cong also stroked his beard and said, "Get up."

The shouting and cursing from next door became louder and louder.

Lou Yunchun knocked on the cell door, and two jailers came in and stuffed a steamed bun into each of Minister Wang and Minister Luo's hands, and their ears were finally quiet.
