But there is a problem with the process.

He doesn't have to bring Honglian back.

He can keep Honglian in another state.

He had already used extraordinary skills to trap Lu Xiaolan in the He family's old house. He had already pretended to be a victim and successfully ended up in the hospital.

All he had to do was let people spread the news that Honglian had been snatched away by Lu Xiaolan and that Lu Xiaolan was missing. The Lu family would have nothing to say and would be in trouble.

And He Jiaqing can hold the red lotus in Yuezhou and make alchemy to his heart's content. For him, isn't this the most perfect result?

Why did he have to let me bring Honglian back?

Why does Honglian have to go back to Puzhou?

The clues have not yet been completely clarified.

When did He Jiaqing start laying out the plan?

It started after he went to Yuezhou or when he was in Puozhou.

There are no more newspapers from the past, Li Banfeng.

I should have bought more old newspapers at that time, the value of these things was too high.

Are there any similar places in Green Water City?

Li Banfeng hugged the record player and got intimate for a while. It was confirmed that Li Banfeng was not ill, and the record player felt relieved.

After leaving his home, Li Banfeng asked Zuo Wugang: "Is there a place in Lushui City that sells old newspapers?"

"Newspaper, this newspaper..." Zuo Wugang didn't know much about reading and didn't usually read newspapers, so this was difficult for him.

Chu Xuan, a singer from Xiaoyaowu, usually likes to read newspapers. She knows a place that sells old newspapers.

"There is a Lu Family Bookstore behind Ningshou Restaurant on Wansheng Road. I have been there once. They sell old newspapers there."

Li Banfeng knew about Ningshou Restaurant because he had been drinking there.

Just as Li Banfeng was about to leave, he turned around and asked again: "Which bookstore are you talking about?"

"Lu Family Bookstore."

The one selling old newspapers in Yaowanggou is the Lu Family Bookstore.

How come we are still called Lu Family Bookstore when we arrive at Lushui City?

Is it a chain store?

Li Banfeng quickly arrived at the Lu Family Bookstore. The bookstore was not big, but it looked familiar. The facade and signboard were exactly the same as the Lu Family Bookstore in Yaowanggou.

Are chain stores so standardized?

Not only the facades are the same, but the layout of the study rooms are also exactly the same.

"Do you want to buy a book?" Boss Lu stepped forward to greet the guest.

Even the boss is exactly the same!

Li Banfeng asked: "Didn't you do business in Yaowanggou before?"

The boss's eyes lit up: "Do you know me? I was indeed in Yaowanggou before. Later, my business got better and better, so I moved to Lushui City."

It turns out that this is the situation.

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "I want to buy a newspaper."

"Please come this way."

…

"This is the newspaper you asked for. Let's check if the day is right first." Boss Lu gave Qiu Zhiheng a stack of newspapers. Qiu Zhiheng gave the money and took the newspaper back to Qiuji Pharmacy.

The wife said from the side: "Why did you bring back so many old newspapers?"

Qiu Zhiheng said: "I haven't done much business in Yaowanggou before, so I need to take a closer look at the situation here."

The wife smiled and said: "You have experienced so many storms and waves in your half life. Can't you see clearly the situation in Yaowanggou at a glance?"

Qiu Zhiheng shook his head and said: "You can at least get a rough idea at a glance. If you miss it, you will be in big trouble."

While I was talking, the medicine delivery person arrived.

The wife smiled and said, "The little girl who delivered the medicine is so cute. I'll go see her."

Qiu Zhiheng asked casually: "Which little girl?"

"My name is Xue Yingying from the Xue family of Sanpu Village in Waigou."

Qiu Zhiheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Has she been here?"

"Why haven't you been here before? It was her who delivered the medicine last time. Her nickname is Grass Leaf."

PS: In Chapter 164, Lu Dongjun’s Jiangyuan Leather Factory was acquired by Shen Rongqing. Lu Dongjun didn’t know about it at the time, but there were photos of him shaking hands with Shen Rongqing in the newspaper.
