Chapter 202 Have you seen my ancestors?
Gui Niang hated Li Linsen, but when she went to the parade that day and saw the people defending him, she suddenly understood why Li Linsen had to abandon her to join the army, and she felt relieved at that moment.
Life is short, she doesn't want to hate anymore and wants to grasp the rest of her life.
But she was already a prostitute and could no longer marry Li Linsen.
She could stay with him until he abandoned her.
Li Linsen is not good at speaking. He knows what Gui Niang is worried about, so it is useless to say anything. Let's see how he performs in the future.
He invited Gui Niang in, as this was the small courtyard he rented.
Tomorrow, he will go to the escort agency to make a living, hoping to give his wife a good life.
Just as they entered the house, a young man dressed in rich clothes called out to him, "Li Dalang, can you help me? I am Madam Feng's son."
Li Linsen:?
Madam Feng.
Which Madam Feng?
Who is Goushengzi’s current owner, Madam Feng?
"Mrs. Feng from Changchun Garden?" Li Linsen was puzzled. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
He had helped Madam Feng before, but that was because of his friendship with Gousheng. He had no dealings with Madam Feng, and logically, Madam Feng would not be able to find him.
Wu Lang nodded: "Yes, that is my mother, Li Da Lang, can you help me transport my sister and me out?"
"Ship it out? What do you mean by transport it out?"
Wu Lang glanced at Gui Niang, his face full of guilt: "Are you very busy now?"
Gui Niang was afraid that it would hinder Li Linsen's future. After all, Li Linsen didn't have a job now, and it might not be without benefits to associate with these young masters.
She said very considerately, "I'll light the fire first, you go ahead."
Wu Lang said hurriedly, "I'll leave two people to help my wife light the fire and clean the yard."
He also brought two people out.
Gui Niang said no, but Wu Lang insisted on keeping the two of them.
Then he led Li Linsen back to Song Yan's residence.
Song Yan took out a map of the streets of Chang'an City, and the four men gathered together to discuss; "Li Dalang, take a look, this is Changlefang, and Changchun Garden is here. Is it possible for us to avoid Wu Hou and return to Changchun Garden?"
Li Linsen: “…”
"no!"
"No? Is there really no chance at all? Can't I ask you for help?" Wu Lang said, "A Zhao said that you are the most powerful Wu Hou in Chang'an City."
Li Linsen would not tell them that if they acted openly, they would definitely run into the patrolling Wu Hou. Without the emperor's order, no one could violate the curfew, and Wu Hou had the right to beat anyone to death on the spot.
Li Linsen did know some people in the team, but it was impossible for him to know them all. If someone reported them, his brothers would be implicated.
Li Linsen said: "Of course, we have another way, that is to escape after being discovered, but where can we escape to? The main roads are full of Wu Hou, and if we jump over the walls in the alleys, the walls are old and in disrepair. If we make any noise, there will be Wu Hou in the alleys too, and you still can't escape."
"The last option is to take the water route."
"Take the water route?" Wu Lang was curious.
Li Yanzhao raised his eyebrows: "You are not talking about ditches, are you?"
Li Linsen nodded: "That's right."
In order to prevent the city from flooding, Chang'an City had deep drainage ditches between the streets and the main roads.
They were very deep, filled with sewage and rainwater, and smelled bad in the summer, which was not beautiful either. Therefore, tall trees were planted on the roads in Chang'an to block the ditches.
If you have children at home, you should tell them from an early age not to get close to ditches, as falling in can really kill you.
However, such drainage ditches have underground secret trenches.
Li Linsen knew that the secret trench could also lead to the channels of the East and West Markets and the Imperial Palace Service Building.
Theoretically, if they could swim and were not afraid of the stink, they could go to Xishi. Then, when they got to Xishi, they quickly pushed down the wall between the streets and fled regardless of everything. This must have alarmed Wu Hou, so he didn't look back and ran all the way to Changchun Garden.
If Wu Lang hadn't seen how serious Li Linsen was, he would have felt that this person was tricking him into death.
He said, "But with such a big commotion, won't we be taken away as assassins and thieves? Can the monk escape or the temple escape?"
Li Linsen nodded and said, "It depends on the ability of my husband or your family. My husband asked me whether we can return to Changchun Garden. These are my opinions."
He sent his sister back to Changchun Garden to reassure his mother, not because he and his sister were beheaded.
It looks like it won't work.
Wu Lang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks: "What should I do? I will be skinned and cramped."
…
A vulture flew across the dark sky, passed by many alleys, and stopped in the small courtyard behind the Lotus Pagoda.
When the vulture landed, Li Jidao smelled a faint scent of honey. She frowned slightly, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and pushed open the door.
I saw many tents in the yard, and people were resting in the tents.
I remember the Taoist priest said that this courtyard would accommodate some poor people and charge them some fees.
It seems that these people are ordinary people who need low-cost accommodation.
Each of them was sleeping soundly, not even awakened by the slightest movement.
So there was something wrong with the air, they were drugged.
Who is coming?
Li Jidao continued walking inside and saw the tall and graceful Song Jie in the small courtyard.
"It's you?" Li Jidao let down his guard and walked over: "Why are you here?"
When Song Jie saw her coming, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his wait was not in vain.
"Mrs. Feng has been looking for you and Wu Lang everywhere. She has asked all the Wu Hous in the community to help her find someone. Later, she asked Rabbit for help, but it didn't work."
"When I saw the vulture was gone, I knew you would take action tonight."
How could Li Jidao not take action? The old Taoist told him that the owner of this place, Jia Jidao, had stolen the bodies of her family members. She wished she had come here at that time, but it was better to act in the dead of night.
It will be more secure with Song Jie's help.
Li Jidao nodded and asked, "Do you have any clues? Have you seen Jia Jidao? Or have you seen my ancestors?"
Song Jie shook his head: "I haven't seen any. There is only a young man here. He said he was adopted by Taoist Master Jia, but Taoist Master Jia died when he was six years old. He has been the one who has been maintaining and guarding this place. He makes a living by collecting accommodation fees from others."
“He seems to know nothing else.”
Li Jidao trusted Song Jie very much, but he didn't quite believe that the little boy knew everything. He thought that Song Jie either didn't ask enough questions or didn't use any tricks.
She raised her head and looked at him, and saw that he looked calm and composed, and did not look like someone who was doing nothing.
"So this young man really knows nothing?"
Song Jie shook his head and said, "Unless he is tortured, my sensory attack will be useless against him and I cannot attack him."
Song Jie could kill hundreds of people in a short period of time. He could neither calculate nor write, and his main skill was to attack others. How could he not be able to attack a young man?
Li Jidao said, "Take me over there and take a look."
