Chapter 413 Old Liar

Lu Li ordered his men to tie up Xu Tongpan and let the remaining yamen runners take him back.

Anyway, the prefect Liu Zhide will definitely know how to deal with this guy.

Afterwards, she wrote a letter, telling her father the truth about the incident, and the group continued on their journey.

"We're at the same place again."

Looking at the gate of Liyang City, Lu Li was quite emotional.

This is the border between southern Xinjiang and Xichang. In the past, there were a lot of corrupt officials here and you had to pay to enter the city.

After being disciplined by my father and having all the officials in Liyang City replaced, things are much better now.

There is no such evil behavior anymore.

Soon after entering the city, Qin Xiao found an inn to stay in. They occupied the third floor of the inn and did not allow anyone else to come up.

Lu Can wanted to go out for a walk, so Lu Li didn't stop him and let him take Lu Xuan out with him.

Qu Songnian also planned to go out and take a look, so the two of them went out together.

Long Aotian owed money to several of his younger brothers and decided to go out and see where he could earn money to pay them back.

Qin Xiao reported to Lu Li that he was going to the local Jinyiwei Qianhu Suo to inspect the situation.

Thus, only Lu Li and Feng Qi were left on the third floor of the inn.

"Miss Jiu, is there anything you want to eat? I can make it for you." Feng Qi looked at her seriously.

He carefully analyzed the key points of several princesses of the Great Xia Dynasty in choosing their prince consorts.

I think Jiang Heci's method is more reliable and easier to learn.

If you want to win a woman's heart, you must first conquer her stomach.

"Can you do it?" Lu Li looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't burn your hands again."

"Are you concerned about me?" Feng Qi's eyebrows curved, and her mood became particularly bright because of her words.

Lu Li:?

Does this count as caring?

Before Lu Li could say anything, Lu Can, who had just gone out, fell back.

"Brother Feng, please help me keep an eye on Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan is jumping up and down, and I can't control him."

Without waiting for Fengqi's response, he pulled his hand and walked out.

"Sister Nine, aren't you sleepy? Have a good rest. Brother Feng and I will take good care of Lu Xuan."

Fengqi: ...

Is this guy sincere?

Lu Can pretended not to see Feng Qi's accusing look.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and found that Fengqi and Ninth Sister were the only ones left alone, so he ran back quickly.

Otherwise, this guy will take advantage of the situation.

Feng Qi pulled his hand back and decided to start the attack on Lu Can first.

After all, Ali seems to have not yet come to her senses. No matter which man is attentive to her, she has no other thoughts.

It would be better to deal with Lu Can first, as he will definitely continue to cause trouble later.

Thinking of this, Feng Qi smiled and said, "Okay, wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."

So the four of them went out shopping together.

…

Lu Li took a nap in the guest inn, and when she woke up she saw Lu Can running back excitedly.

"Sister Nine, I met an old man who can tell fortunes. He is so accurate!"

"Oh? How do you do that?" Lu Li asked with a yawn.

"He said that I came from a wealthy family and that I have at least nine sisters! He also said that there is a big age gap between me and my older brothers and sisters. All of that was true." Lu Can told her everything that had just happened.

He had heard about the glorious deeds of his father and his ninth sister, who could find talents wherever they went. So he also wanted to be like his father and his ninth sister and find useful talents for Daxia.

I heard that Mr. Nong Sanxinong from Sima Yuan was picked up by my father and his men in Liyang City.

So he went out today to try his luck.

I didn't expect to be so lucky that I met a capable fortune teller as soon as I went out.

"He said that I have a good face and will be rich in the future. My sister will be richer than me. But this time when we come to Liyang City, my sister and I will encounter disaster. He also said that my ninth sister will protect me from the disaster. If I want to avert it, I only need 100 taels of silver."

Lu Can said this and took out a red rope and tied it around Lu Li's slender wrist.

"Ninth sister, I have already spent money to save you from disaster. Tie yourself with this red rope, and you will be safe from now on." Lu Can grinned, his eyes sparkling.

Lu Li looked at her silly brother with an indescribable look.

This is clearly a scam.

A red rope is sold for one hundred taels. Isn't this just to see how rich Can'er is?

"Didn't Qu Songnian and Feng Qi stop you at all?" Lu Li looked at the two people following behind him.

Qu Songnian walked up helplessly and said, "I have tried to persuade you, but since it involves you, Miss Nine, the young master won't listen."

"One hundred taels in exchange for my sister's safety is a good deal!" Lu Can didn't care.

"Can'er is so nice. He knows how to care about his sister. But we can't be taken advantage of and let others cheat us of our money." Lu Li touched his brother's head.

"The old man shouldn't be a liar. I've seen many people say that he can predict accurately, and he even predicted our situation accurately." Lu Can defended the fortune teller.

Lu Li opened the melon-eating system and took a look.

[Wow, these guys were targeted as soon as they went out. ]

[Even when I went to the fortune-teller's place, I was led there by someone on purpose.]

[Can'er, Lu Xuan and Qu Songnian didn't notice it, and Feng Qi didn't notice it either? ]

When Lu Can heard his sister's thoughts, his face turned red.

What? Everything was a scam that had been arranged long ago?

Did he really fall for it?

"Ahem." Feng Qi took a step forward, walked to Lu Li's side, and coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

He moved his fingers and pinched Lu Li's palm.

Just as Lu Li was about to ask a question, a silver note worth one hundred taels fell into her hands.

"Why are you standing so close to my sister? Don't let your cough spread to her." Lu Can walked forward and pulled Feng Qi aside.

At first, Lu Li didn't understand why Feng Qi gave her the 100-liang silver note.

After using the melon-eating system, I found out that after Lu Can spent 100 taels of silver to buy the torn red rope, Feng Qi took the silver note back and exchanged it for a copper plate.

Lu Li suddenly realized.

It turned out that Fengqi knew that the old man was lying, but did not stop Caner on the spot. After all, that was Caner's sincere love.

"Can'er, the reason why the fortune teller was so accurate is because he had been watching you whenever you went out. You mentioned your ninth sister and even wanted to buy something for me. I can tell that we have a very good relationship as siblings."

Seeing his brother blushing, Lu Li analyzed the situation for him so that he wouldn't be fooled again next time.

"He took advantage of your fear of me and cheated you out of your money. He may have some skills, but he is definitely not that amazing."

"Damn it, this old liar. We can't let him continue to deceive people. I'm going to settle the score with him now!" Lu Can clenched his fists, turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't worry, he has gone home now, and he will continue to set up his stall tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will personally teach this liar a lesson and avenge you." Lu Li stopped him and pinched his face with a smile.

"Now, let's eat first."

"Okay!" Lu Can always listened to her. After hearing her say so, he did not go to settle the score with the old liar.

After dinner, as soon as she woke up, Lu Li took Lu Can to find the fortune teller.
