In the dead of night, Ji Ning did not stay at home and wait, but in a small courtyard that Lin Yi found, which was originally intended by Lin Yi to introduce to Ji Ning as a residence.

After three watches, still no one came, Ji Ning was still calm, he only had an oil lamp in his hand, and in his arms was a book of science, since he promised to go to the academic seminar with Zhao Yuanqi, the son of King Chong, he must first carefully study Zhang Zai's doctrine in this world to see how different the scientific ideas of the two worlds are.

At the same time, they should also be involved in their own thoughts and opinions, and they should not stick to the rules.

Just arrived at the fourth watch, the sound of the carriage finally came outside, Lin Yi drove the carriage to the gate of the small courtyard, Ji Ning went over to open the door, Lin Yi came in, came up and whispered in Ji Ning's ear: "Master, people have brought it, what else do you have to explain?" ”

"Has it been verified?" Ji Ning asked.

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Master, Miss Liu is a rich and expensive body, how dare we rude people touch it?" ”

Ji Ning waved his hand and motioned for Lin Yi to step back, only then did he get to the carriage, and now the people inside were still knocked into the sack, obviously Lin Yi didn't dare to open it without permission, even if he knew that it was stuffy inside, he still sent it to Ji Ning as it was.

"Miss Liu, is that you?" Ji Ning asked.

"Woo woo ......" A woman's voice came from inside, and Ji Ning knew that the people inside were covered with their mouths and noses.

He thought to himself: "It's expected, the people of Tianxianglou must be afraid that Liu Ru will shout and scream on the way, so they have to tie it up and blindfold her mouth, so that she doesn't know where she is going." ”

Ji Ning said: "Offended! ”

Only then did he reach out to untie the rope on the outside of the sack, and as soon as he opened it, he saw an almost unkempt woman, because the light was not very strong, and Ji Ning couldn't be sure whether it was Liu Ru himself for a while.

After Ji Ning took down the sack, he took down the gag cloth of the woman in front of him, and the woman came up and said in surprise: "Ji Gongzi? ”

The voice was very familiar, although it was slightly hoarse, but Ji Ning could still judge that it was Liu Ru.

Ji Ning removed all the ropes on Liu Ru is body, and wanted to help Liu Ru is get out of the carriage, Liu Ru was a little embarrassed: "Ji Gongzi...... I...... My body is numb, can you let me slow down and breathe my blood? ”

"Okay, then I'll wait next to you!"

Ji Ning didn't mess around, although logically speaking, Liu Ru originally belonged to him, but he also took back his 20,000 taels of silver later, and at the same time he earned 5,000 taels himself.

Besides, Ji Ning never had the intention of coercing the woman, this time he saved Liu Rusi, and it was not that he had any intentions for Liu Ruyi, if he had any intentions for Liu Ru, the night before, when Ru Niang could not deny it, he would have entered the room with Liu Ru is and become a good thing, and at that time, Liu Ru and Tianxianglou would not interfere according to the rules.

When Liu Ru was still breathing, Ji Ning called Lin Yi aside and handed him the 1,000 taels of silver that he had said before.

"This is a thousand taels of silver, don't go and give too much to the brothers, if they spend lavishly, they will definitely be noticed, and then it will be difficult for the government to come to the door. In general, let these people go out of the city to avoid it first, and it is best to go to the countryside around the capital, and wait for this limelight to pass, and then let them come back! Ji Ning said, "These manpower may still be able to be used." ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "The master doesn't need to explain, the villain also knows what to do." Although these brothers selected by the villain have also been mixed in the market for many years, the basic righteousness is still spoken, as long as I can let them settle down, I will reward them well in the future. The price I told them this time is not the one that the master said, I am ready to go back and give them slowly, but I will never cheat the master's money. ”

"It's up to you." Ji Ning patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said, "I'm at ease with you." Go ahead! ”

"Yes, yes." Lin Yi nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Ji Ning and Liu Ruyi's "good thing", so he quickly packed up the reins and whip and prepared to leave in a hurry.

At this time, Ji Ning also helped Liu Ru get out of the carriage, and Liu Ru glanced at Lin Yi, as if she was curious about who this man was and why he was so close to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning casually explained: "Domestic servant, you are very capable of doing things, just rest assured!" ”

After speaking, he and Liu Ru entered the courtyard and closed the door.

……

……

In the house, under the dim candlelight, Liu Ru tidied up her appearance a little, it was obvious that Tianxianglou was rude to her before, which made her suffer a lot.

"Ji Gongzi, why you?" Liu Ru was sitting on the kang, her whole person still looked very cramped, although there was a high bed and soft pillows next to her, she was still very hesitant, because she didn't expect that it would be on this occasion that she would talk to Ji Ning face-to-face in this way.

Ji Ning said: "Miss Liu, Tianxianglou didn't plan to let me be selected from the beginning, you should be clear about this, right?" ”

Liu Ru lowered her head with a shy face and said, "Yes, the little woman knew it before, but at that time, the little woman couldn't help herself, and she couldn't remind Ji Gongzi!" ”

"It doesn't matter, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and sometimes, I myself am the same, I can't do things by my own temperament, I have to do the right thing." Ji Ning said, sighing lightly, "Maybe it's also because I have a certain relationship with Miss Liu, seeing that Miss Liu was used by Tianxianglou, I couldn't bear it, so I made a move...... As for whether to help or meddle, it all depends on how Miss Liu thinks about it! ”

Liu Ru hurriedly said: "Where did Ji Gongzi say, you can help me, that is Ji Gongzi's righteousness." It's just that...... Ji Gongzi can know that the people who have offended behind this time are not simple, although the little woman does not know the identities of those people, but she knows that it is not only the officials of the court, it seems that it also involves the royal family and nobles, the little woman is duckweed, she wanted to resist, and finally she had no choice but to accept it. But since the little woman knew yesterday that the chosen person was Ji Gongzi, she no longer agreed......"

Ji Ning nodded again and said, "Miss Liu doesn't have to explain!" ”

"It's the little woman who caused trouble for Childe." Liu Ru said with a guilty face, "Although the little woman doesn't know how Ji Gongzi rescued the little girl, the little woman was still in a coma at that time, but now it seems that ...... It's not allowed by Tianxianglou and the people behind the scenes, it may be...... The little woman was afraid that she would bring trouble to Ji Gongzi. ”

Ji Ning said: "It's true that Miss Liu was rescued by normal means, but Miss Liu doesn't have to worry too much, there are many things...... I need to lay out from the beginning, and Tianxianglou can't suspect me for the time being. Even if they suspect it, they don't dare to mess around easily, they must have evidence! ”
