Chapter 129 [People's Heart] (Part 2)

Luo Lie sighed in his heart, no wonder the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. From top to bottom, high and small officials had their own plans, exploited them layer by layer, and were extremely corrupt. Perhaps Prince Rui Yixun did have the ambition to revive the country, but the people around him did not have the same idea as him. It turned out that Liu Tongsi and Xiao Tianxing had long been greedy for money and filled their own pockets. The gold hidden in those wood carvings should be what they did back then.

Luo Lie said: "You hid a lot back then, right?"

Liu Tongsi shook his head and said, "There is not much, just keep it for emergencies, but later it suddenly changed again. The Qing Dynasty was destroyed and Xiao Tianxing escaped. He and I reached a tacit understanding. None of us would use this wealth."

Luo Lie said: "Only you two know about this?"

Liu Tongsi nodded with great certainty.

Luo Lie thought to himself that since Liu Tongsi did not leave, there must be something wrong with Xiao Tianxing. Xiao Tianxing is dead. Logically, he would not easily disclose this matter to outsiders. Luo Lie suddenly thought of Zhou Xiaodie. Could this treasure trove incident in the Old Summer Palace be related to the bizarre missing Zhou Xiaodie?

At this moment, footsteps from afar and near were heard outside the door. Luo Lie realized that someone had arrived and immediately stopped talking. He stood up and said, "Director Liu, I'll leave first, and I'll see you again if I have time."

The door sounded gently, but it was Liu Tongsi's butler Dongsheng who came back with the food he had just called. Seeing Luo Lie in the room, a trace of alert flashed in Dongsheng's eyes. Liu Tongsi coughed and said, "Dongsheng, help me see President Lin off."

Luo Lie felt relieved. It seemed that Liu Tongsi had already doubted Dongsheng and had no intention of exposing himself.

Dongsheng responded and sent Luo Lie out.

When he arrived outside the ward building, Luo Lie smiled and said, "You stay, I recognize the way."

But Dongsheng said: "Now few people come to visit the master."

Luo Lie said: "In life, there will always be three or two confidants who will never leave you."

Dongsheng smiled and said, "President Lin is right."

Luo Lie left the hospital and called a rickshaw. After a while, he noticed a rickshaw following him far away. He asked the coachman to turn into the alley ahead, then quickly got off the car and gave the bus fare, asking the coachman to pull the empty car to continue moving forward, and he turned over to the wall.

Not long after, I saw the rickshaw following in. The one riding car was Liu Tongsi’s butler Dongsheng. When Dongsheng saw the rickshaw walking far away in front of him, he urged: “Follow up.”

Luo Lie sneered secretly, Dongsheng was indeed a problem. He jumped out of the wall in the air and said loudly: "I can't catch up!"

When Dongsheng heard the voice behind him, he realized that he had been discovered. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He signaled the driver to stop the car, stuffed a handful of copper coins to the other party, and asked the driver to leave first.

The only two of them were left in the empty alley.

Dongsheng's back was facing Luo Lie. Although he was slightly hunched, the muscles on his shoulders were quietly contracting. His right hand quietly touched his armpits and took out the pistol at an extremely astonishing speed. He thought that he was first-rate in pulling the gun and shooting, and he should be sure to shoot Luo Lie before he reacted.

While Dongsheng was making moves, Luo Lie had already taken the lead in activating, drawing, swinging, and shooting. The flying knife of about an inch turned into a ray of bright light, chasing the wind and chasing the distance between the two, and shooting at Dongsheng's right hand holding the gun.

Dongsheng's right hand was painful, and the pistol fell to the ground because he couldn't hold it. Before Dongsheng could bow and pick it up, Luo Lie rushed over like a leopard and punched Dongsheng's jaw. Dongsheng was hit by Luo Lie's uppercut and suddenly raised his head back, but the power of this punch was not enough to knock him down.

Dongsheng staggered backwards and was about to gain a foothold to launch a counterattack, but saw Luo Lie picking up the pistol on the ground.

Dongsheng raised his hands. He didn't know that Luo Lie never used a gun. He stared at Luo Lie with his eyes in secret: "I recognize you!"

"Oh?" Luo Lie said with great interest. He realized that Liu Tongsi's housekeeper was not simple. He could still show such a calm and calm mentality in such a passive situation. It was rare for such people to be present.

"You are Luo Lie!"

This time it was Luo Lie's turn to be surprised. He thought that Dongsheng said that just to deceive him, but the other party called out his name clearly and accurately. Luo Lie even suspected that the sparrow's makeup level was greatly reduced, and it actually made people recognize him at a glance. However, he did not have much contact with Dong Sheng, and even Liu Tongsi could deceive him. Dong Sheng should not recognize him from the outside, unless this person was speculation, or his attention to him would not be a day.

Dongsheng said: "I am not your enemy."

Luo Lie smiled slightly and did not speak.

Dongsheng said: "Let's talk well." This sentence not only shows weakness, but also shows that Luo Lie and others need to cooperate.

Dongsheng's first sentence attracted Luo Lie enough attention: "I know what you are looking for Liu Tongsi? I also know what you are looking for in the garden!"

Luo Lie thought about it in his mind. Based on these words of Dongsheng, he had made a judgment. Dongsheng must have been deeply aware of the inside story. He had already noticed his actions in Zhengjue Temple. Luo Lie tentatively said: "It seems that the group of people who pretended to be a god and made a fool of themselves last night were sent by you?"

Dongsheng said: "Come with me, I will take you to meet someone."

Luo Lie hesitated for a moment. After all, he didn't know Dongsheng. He shot Dongsheng's right hand in the fight just now. How could he know that he would not take this opportunity to lead himself into the trap?

Dongsheng said: "The gun is in your hands. If I want to harm you, just shoot."

He turned around and walked forward, as if he had calculated that Luo Lie would definitely follow him.

The person Dongsheng brought Luo Lie to see was nearby. The two of them walked about two miles in front and behind. They entered a narrow alley. When they reached the end, a courtyard appeared in the shade of green trees. The three words "Fengyu Garden" were written on the plaque in front of the door.

Luo Lie never let go of his vigilance, but there was nothing unusual along the way. Dongsheng may have been walking in front of him because of his suspicion, exposing all the vital points of his back to Luo Lie.

When he arrived at the door, Dongsheng turned around and smiled at Luo Lie and said, "Please wait!" He knocked the door knocker and said aloud: "It's me, Dongsheng!"

After a while, the door slowly opened, and a pretty girl opened the door from inside and whispered: "Uncle Dongsheng, you are back."

Luo Lie couldn't help but stand there when he saw the girl appearing. He would never have thought that the person living in the Fengyu Garden was Zhou Xiaodie who left without saying goodbye from Huangpu. The blind man chased him from Huangpu to find him almost when he had time these days, but there was no result. He could not have thought that Zhou Xiaodie was hiding in the Fengyu Garden. No wonder Ye Qinghong said that Zhou Xiaodie's affairs had nothing to do with her, but Ye Qinghong also said that Zhou Xiaodie was a Japanese spy and said that she was not a blind man at all.

Luo Lie was always skeptical about Ye Qinghong's words. Human feelings cannot be disguised. Zhou Xiaodie showed pain when she lost her father. She once took the anger on Yan Tianxin because of this, and even wanted to assassinate her while living in the same tent with Yan Tianxin. All these things that happened made Ye Qinghong's words untenable.

Although Zhou Xiaodie's eyes were beautiful, they were bleak. She smiled and said, "Uncle Dongsheng, come in quickly..." After saying that, she realized something unusual and whispered: "Is there anyone else?"

Luo Lie said: "Hello!"

Although Zhou Xiaodie couldn't see her eyes, she would not be deceived by Luo Lie's disguise. His identity was judged from his voice alone: ​​"Brother Luo!"

Luo Lie sighed in his heart that he was indeed not a qualified disguiser. Dongsheng and Zhou Xiaodie both saw through his true colors.

Luo Lie walked into this Fengyu Garden and found that although the courtyard was not luxurious, it was clean and tidy. Zhou Xiaodie invited them to sit in the tea room in the west, and Dongsheng took the initiative to pour tea.

Luo Lie roughly sorted out the context of this matter in his mind. Zhou Xiaodie is Xiao Tianxing's daughter, but Dongsheng is Liu Tongsi's housekeeper. The biggest possibility that the two of them appeared here at the same time was that Dongsheng has always been Xiao Tianxing's people, and it was a chess piece he was ambushed by Liu Tongsi.

Zhou Xiaodie seemed a little uneasy, her fingers were entangled, and after a while, she said, "Are you okay?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Everyone is very good, An Zhai is also very good. He has also come to Peking and has been looking for you all the time."

Zhou Xiaodie bit her cherry lips and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left without saying a word, I'm worried about me."

Dongsheng put the poured cup of tea in front of Luo Lie. The right hand that was shot by Luo Lie was wrapped in white veil, but fortunately it was not hurt. Dongsheng sat down on Luo Lie's left side, held the teacup in both hands and took a sip and said, "The boss has been kind to me. I have always been ordered to do things by Liu Tongsi, and be responsible for staring at this old fox for the boss."

Luo Lie nodded. He suddenly developed a favorable impression of Dongsheng. No matter what the position of both sides, Dongsheng can be regarded as a true loyal and righteous man.

Zhou Xiaodie was full of gratitude to Dongsheng. After she and An Zhai left Baishan and went to Huangpu, Mr. Mu San was indeed a good person and helped introduce the doctor to her eyes. However, by an unintentional opportunity, she found that Mr. Mu San already knew her true identity. Zhou Xiaodie was afraid because of this. Fortunately, she remembered her father's explanation that if she encountered trouble one day, she could go to Dongsheng.

So Zhou Xiaodie contacted Dongsheng just now. After Dongsheng got her whereabouts, he rushed to Huangpu immediately and quietly took her away from Huangpu, but still left clues.

After saying that after the parting experience, Zhou Xiaodie sighed and said, "Brother Luo, I can't believe you, but I can't believe in Mr. Mu. He is Prince Rui's friend."

Luo Lie knew her concerns and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't mention your affairs to anyone for the time being, but..." He thought of the blind man. Although this guy usually acted heartless, as his best friend, Luo Lie knew that he should have had true feelings for Zhou Xiaodie, and he had been worried about her safety during this period.
