Qian Duoduo had been distressed for the past two days.
The poem 'Partridge in the Sky' and the phrase 'I'm afraid we'll meet in a dream' had spread his name throughout the entire Feng State City. Although his name was well-known in Feng State City before this, the meaning was very different.
Foppish, idiot, prodigal … This was what people thought of him before.
Foppish, idiot, prodigal, poem seller … This was what people thought of him now.
He needed to prove himself and prove that he didn't buy the poem. He wasn't an idiot. He just didn't want others to know about it.
However, the brother who sold him the poem had disappeared. The other party appeared mysteriously and disappeared mysteriously. He hadn't appeared since that night.
It was as if the other party had appeared to save him that day. He didn't know the brother's name or appearance. The only clue he had was that alley.
Therefore, he asked his father to buy the restaurant across the alley the next day.
At this time, he was sitting in the restaurant's lobby. From time to time, he would look outside. If he saw someone stopping at the alley, he would go out and ask them.
However, it had been two days and he still hadn't seen the person he was looking for.
"Sigh …"
He sighed as he walked out of the alley again and returned to the restaurant.
Li Yi leaned against the wall outside a shop. Occasionally, he would look inside and be cut by the gazes of the two women at the door.
He looked up and saw that the sign of Ruyi Workshop was very eye-catching. He couldn't help but feel a bit depressed.
He didn't know which bastard had copied the style of his own underwear, but he had even copied the name of the shop. Not only did he plagiarize, but he also didn't want to let him in …
Miss.Liu was injured. If something happened to her inside, he wouldn't be able to help her in time.
He had brought Miss.Liu out to shop during the day to buy some clothes and daily necessities. She had been in the underwear shop for a quarter of an hour. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to come out anytime soon.
Li Yi leaned against the wall in boredom. He looked at the people coming and going on the street. When his eyes swept across a certain alley, he was slightly stunned.
…
…
"Sigh, did she leave Feng State?"
Qian Duoduo walked out of the alley again and sighed. When he was about to enter the restaurant, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the alley behind him.
"Are you satisfied with the poem?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Qian Duoduo stopped in his tracks. He immediately turned around and said, "Brother, you're here!"
The voice just now came from inside the alley. He quickly walked into the alley, and when he was halfway there, the voice sounded again.
"Alright, just stop there."
Qian Duoduo immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at the corner of the alley, where a corner of a shirt could be seen.
"Are you satisfied with the words?" The voice rang out again.
"Yes, I'm very satisfied!" Qian Duoduo nodded fiercely. He had never bought such a valuable thing in his life. Now that he recalled the expressions of those people that night, he felt so happy that he wanted to shout out loud.
"As long as you're satisfied. I'm leaving." When the voice rang out again, a copper coin flew out from the corner of the alley.
"Received a good review, returned one coin."
Qian Duoduo caught the copper coin, and after being stunned for a moment, his expression changed. He quickly took a few steps forward, and then seemed to remember something. He stopped and anxiously said, "Brother, please wait!"
A moment later, a voice came from the other side, "Is there anything else?"
A smile appeared on Qian Duoduo's face as he said, "I wonder if Brother still has poems for sale?"
The voice paused and asked, "How many songs do you want?"
"Ten songs. Just like before, ten thousand taels of silver. According to your rules, buy five and get one free, buy ten and get three free. That's a total of thirteen songs."
"Are there any special requirements?"
"Just like the previous song."
"Love between a man and a woman?"
Qian Duoduo nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, that's it!"
The person on the other side did not speak immediately, as if he was thinking. After a while, the voice sounded again, "Pay a deposit of five thousand taels first, and the item you want will be delivered to you by tonight."
Qian Duoduo took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. After splitting them in half, he walked to the corner of the room and carefully handed them over.
"Five thousand taels. Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with the money?" Li Yi leaned against the wall and asked.
"I trust you, Brother." The voice came from the other side. "Besides, it's only five thousand taels, but …"
"But five days' worth of pocket money?" Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Wait at the entrance of the alley before it gets dark."
"Thank you, Brother!"
Qian Duoduo beamed with joy and asked again, "May I know your name, Brother?"
Then, as if he remembered something, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, I broke the rules. Brother, please don't blame me."
"It's fine." The voice was very straightforward this time.
"Fine, I won't change my name or my surname — just call me Li Han."
…
"Where did you go?"
When Li Yi walked back, Miss.Liu was standing in front of the underwear store, holding two exquisite bags in her hands as she looked at him and asked.
"Just walking around." Li Yi took the bags from her hands and said, "Let's go and take a look in front."
"Catch him, catch him quickly!"
As soon as he said that, an anxious voice came from behind.
A figure ran past Li Yi at lightning speed, followed by a middle-aged fat man who was panting heavily. When the fat man ran to Li Yi's side, he finally could not run anymore. With one hand on his waist, he shouted weakly, "Catch the thief, catch the thief …"
"It's you?"
Li Yi looked at the middle-aged fat man and asked in surprise.
The fat man only glanced at him, took a moment to catch his breath, and continued to run forward.
Li Yi shook his head. The jade pendant given to him by the old emperor had only been sold for a thousand taels of silver to this fatty. To think that this fellow would end up like this. From the looks of it, the thief must have stolen something valuable from him.
"Let's go."
The thief had already disappeared. Li Yi looked at Miss.Liu. There was still a ready-made clothing store in front. They would go there for a while before going home to cook.
In front, the middle-aged fat man held his waist and said to a constable, "The money bag, the money bag has been stolen. There's also, there's also a piece …"
He paused for a moment, "It's the money bag, the money bag has been stolen!"
"Chase!"
The constable looked at the direction he was pointing at, waved his hand, and immediately chased after the thief with the other constables behind him.
In a dilapidated alley somewhere.
"Haha, today's harvest is not bad!" A man waved to the two people beside him as if he was showing off. "There's actually so much silver …"
After saying that, he spread out his other hand and said, "There's also a piece of broken jade. I don't know how much it's worth, let's find a place to pawn it tomorrow!"
Not long after, the few people came out of the alley with satisfaction and bumped into a person who was walking towards them.
"Damn, are you blind … It's you again!" The man looked at the man who bumped into him and grabbed him by the collar, mocking, "Why didn't you ask me if I've heard of your Potian Empress today?"
"Protector, it's him!" The man pulled on the man's clothes and said loudly. As soon as he said that, more than ten figures rushed out from a nearby house.
The person in front was a man in blue. At this moment, he was looking at the few people with gloomy eyes. He waved his hand and said, "Arrest them!"
The yellow-clothed people behind him rushed forward.
"Damn, there's actually an accomplice!"
The man's expression changed, and he kicked away the man who was grabbing his clothes. The two people beside him had already reacted and madly ran forward.
"Chase!"
The man in blue ordered. Everyone immediately responded and chased in the direction that the three people had escaped in.
…
"Damn, I'm dead tired!"
Not long after, the man and the two people stood on the street, bent over and panting heavily. At this point, those people finally didn't dare to chase them anymore.
"Tired? If you're tired, then take a rest."
A voice came from behind. The man suddenly turned around and saw that the constable had placed a knife on his neck.
Immediately, other constables came over and locked the three people together.
"Why don't you come with us?" The leading constable waved his hand, and a few constables carried the three dejected people towards the direction of the yamen.
