March, Chang'an.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

Since the middle of the month, the drizzle of a week has beaten the peach tree at the back door of Lingbao Temple to pink and wither.

Outside the mountain gate, there are pink flowers everywhere.

The rain rushed the petals into the canal and left with the river.

Di Renjie held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a textbook in the other, and walked along the river and canal embankment.

When he walked to the bridge, he subconsciously stopped and turned around and looked at the mountain gate of Lingbao Temple.

I saw the mountain gate closed and the figure of the handsome man was not seen.

He felt lost, shook his head, walked across the stone bridge, walked into Jidu Lane, and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

For some reason, he always felt that something was missing.

Without Kurosaburo's barking, Ami could not be seen.

Mrs. Liu sat under the eaves to mend her clothes, and she didn't look very energetic.

Hong Liang came out of the stable room and saw Di Renjie standing outside the yard. He was stunned first, and then said, "Mr. Lang is back, why don't you enter?"

"Oh, I'm about to go in, I'm about to go in."

As Di Renjie spoke, he pushed open the gate of the courtyard.

"Dilangjun is back."

"yes."

"I'm back today later than last year."

"Yes, today the doctoral student from the Imperial College was allowed to take the school exam, so I came back late."

"The supper is ready. If your husband is hungry, just go and get it."

"Thank you, my grandma."

Another daily greeting, nothing new.

Di Renjie always felt that Miss Liu seemed to have some resentment towards him.

In fact, he knew very well that it was reasonable for Miss Liu to have resentment towards him. He asked Ami to go to the Duke of Danyang County to get a knife and crossbow that day. Unexpectedly, Duke of Danyang County actually kept Su Dawei. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed and he has not come back yet.

At the beginning, Miss Liu was very happy.

But over time, that joy gradually turned into worry, and then evolved into anxiety.

Just imagine, why was Su Dawei a slut, so why was he kept by Danyang County Duke for so long? He was not a person on the same level at all, and he had no intersection, but half a month passed in a flash... If anyone else was afraid, he would have to worry about it.

In fact, even Di Renjie was a little worried!

Half a month ago, Di Renjie listened to Su Dawei's suggestion and led his men to search the Lu family's diner again.

In the cellar of the Lu Family Tavern, he found the jade pillow.

Afterwards, Di Renjie handed the jade pillow to Pei Xingjian, which was a matter of finishing the matter. After that, he refused Pei Xingjian's invitation and returned to the Imperial College to start his study. Because he had missed a lot of studies before, Di Renjie did not dare to neglect the slightest after returning to the Imperial College. Every day, he was immersed in the world of scriptures at two points and one line.

At first, the teachers of the Imperial College were a little dissatisfied with Di Renjie.

You are a student who is still a freshman. You don’t say that you will come to school as soon as possible, but you go to help investigate the case.

If he was an ordinary person, the Imperial College would have fired him long ago. However, Pei Xingjian came forward to plead with him. Although he was not from the five surnames and seven families, he was one of the four surnames in Hedong and was considered an old family. Moreover, Pei Xingjian was also from the Imperial College, and now he is a sixth-rank official and a powerful county magistrate of Chang'an County. He still has to give him face.

Chang'an County is Shang County.

As a sixth-rank official, it sounds like he is only one level older than a seventh-rank official, but in fact, he has a high status.

Don’t think that the seventh-rank official is small, according to the ninth-rank 36-rank official, it is already a senior official. The reason why later generations think that the seventh-rank official is small is simply because of the saying “seventh-rank official”. The seventh-rank official is definitely not a sesame-sized official, it is just a self-deprecating thing. Even the seventh-rank official is like this, let alone a sixth-rank official who is only thirty-year-old?

To put it bluntly, Chang'an County Magistrate is equivalent to the district mayor of the East and West Urban Areas of the later imperial capital.

Who dares to say that he is a sesame official!

Relying on Pei Xingjian's face, Di Renjie did not receive any obvious difficulties after returning to the Imperial College.

But there is no hidden difficulty at all.

Fortunately, Di Renjie was determined by nature and did not take those difficulties seriously. Instead, he studied hard. After several exams, the teachers of the Imperial College also changed their attitude towards him, and gradually changed from dissatisfaction to appreciation.

This sounds easy, but Di Renjie himself knows how much effort he has put in the past ten days.

But, I always feel uncomfortable.

I woke up early and didn’t practice Ami together; I couldn’t hear the barking of Kurosaburo when I came back at night, and life seemed to become very boring.

He began to regret that he shouldn't have let Su Dawei go to Kunming Lake.

If I had known that he would have been with Su Dawei that day, maybe these things would not have happened.

He went to ask Pei Xingjian, but Pei Xingjian didn't seem to know what happened. It is said that Li Dayong is not in Chang'an now and does not know where he went. Di Renjie was surprised that Li Dayong was well-off and was not in Chang'an, and he was with him and accompanied him, and where did he go? Li Dayong was not there, and Pei Xingjian couldn't go to find Li Keshi too much.

Just kidding, although Pei Xingjian is from a high school, his status is very different compared to Li Keshi.

If Pei Xingjian's father Pei Renji or his brother Pei Xingyan are still alive, they may have something to talk to Li Keshi.

He has some lack of qualifications.

Di Renjie didn't know how to blame Pei Xingyan for this.

As the magistrate of Chang'an County, he can be considered a daily life. How could he have so much effort to visit Mr. Li for him?

Therefore, he could only comfort Mrs. Liu with kind words.

God, it's completely black.

Di Renjie sat in the room, flipped through two pages of the book, feeling uneasy.

The rain has stopped.

He walked out of the room and found that the lights in the main room had gone out.

In recent days, Miss Liu has been sleeping very early.

The city gate has been closed for a long time, and Su Dawei will definitely not be able to come back.

She didn't seem to want to waste it, she would rest early, and would get up early the next day, waiting for the moment when the city gate opened.

Then, she would wait all day.

If it really doesn't work, I'll visit Pei Xingjian tomorrow.

Di Renjie made up his mind secretly, stood under the eaves for a moment, and returned to the room.

He sat at the table again and reached out to prepare for the scriptures to review.

But my hand was on my schoolbag but stopped moving.

Below that book "The Analects of Confucius", the cover of a book is revealed.

He took away the Analects of Confucius and picked up the book.

The light shines on the cover of the book, and the three words Zhenguan Lu are particularly eye-catching.

Before, Ami had promised Master Mingkong that he would help her bring books. Unexpectedly, he went to Danyang County Duke's Mansion the next day and never returned. Di Renjie bought this Zhenguan Rule in the western market and prepared to give it to Master Mingkong. However, for several days, he had not seen Master Mingkong, which made him feel a little disappointed.

Or, I'll send it to the temple?

Forget it, Lingbao Temple is a Ni Temple, and Master Mingkong has a different identity as an ordinary monk and nun, so it is impossible for him to see it at all.

Or, please send it to Mrs. Liu?

That's OK!

Niangzi Liu has a good relationship with Master Mingkong, and most of the monks in Ni Temple also know each other.

She had sent orchids to Master Mingkong before, and she did not make any trouble. I believe she would ask her to come forward, so she should be able to deliver it to Master Mingkong.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie was a little excited.

He stood up again and walked to the door with the book.

However, he stopped again, glanced at the dark doors and windows in the room, then sighed and closed the door.

If Ami was here, he would definitely ask Miss Liu for help.

In fact, even now, Miss Liu has a little resentment towards him, and if he speaks, Miss Liu will not refuse.

However, he couldn't speak.

If Su Dawei doesn't come back one day, he will be embarrassed to face Miss Liu for a day, let alone ask him for help.

I look back and forth, I'm afraid it's his current situation!

Di Renjie put the book on the table and gently rubbed his temples.

At this time, Hong Liang came in with a basin of hot water, "Mr., let's burn your feet."

"Um."

Di Renjie sat down on the stool, took off his foot condom, and absent-mindedly put his feet into the basin.

"careful!"

Hong Liang was busy and loudly reminded him.

But it was still one step late. Di Renjie had already put his feet into the basin, then immediately raised his feet again, grinned his teeth, and spilled water all over the floor.

"Why is it so hot?"

"Langjun, I'll let you try the water, why did you put it in all at once?"

"I……"

Di Renjie hugged his feet and looked at it.

Fortunately, there were no scalds, otherwise I would be unable to walk tomorrow.

He smiled bitterly and said, "It's very hot, add some water."

Hong Liang agreed, brought a bucket of cold water and poured some into the basin.

"Mr. Lang, try again."

This time Di Renjie was not so reckless anymore and carefully put his feet into the basin.

“Add to add some points.”

"good!"

Hong Liang scooped a scoop of water with a scoop of water and poured it into the basin slowly.

He suddenly said, "Langjun, Su Ami... It won't be a problem."

"What can be done?"

"But it's been more than ten days! He won't go here, so what's going on?

Although the Danyang County Duke sent someone to say that he would have to trouble Su Ami for some time if he had something to do. But I really can't think of it. He is a Danyang County Duke. If he wants to use people, there are a lot of people under his command. Why do you find Su Ami?"

"this……"

"He refused to explain anything. After more than ten days, Su Ami has not even heard from him. It's impossible that something really happened."

Di Renjie's heart skipped a beat.

"It shouldn't be true. The person from Danyang County Duke has a good reputation."

"You know he is consistent?"

Di Renjie was speechless.

He suddenly felt unintentional irritability and stomped his feet hard, but forgot that his feet were in the basin, and water splashed everywhere.

"What can I do? I am also worried about Ami, and I also want to know what Mr. Li left Ami to do.

But the question is, I can't ask! I can't even enter the gate of Danyang County Duke Mansion, let alone meet Mr. Li. I ask the county lord to inquire, but I can't find out. You said, what can I do? What should I do?"

Hongliang, silent.

He silently served Di Renjie to wash his feet and walked out with a basin of water.

However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped again.

"Mr., I know you are in a dilemma.

But... in the past two days, I saw that the eldest lady's spirit was obviously not as good as the previous few days. I was always absent-minded when talking to her. Her mother, son, orphan, and widowed mother depended on each other, and suddenly my son lost his news, and she, the mother, was inevitably worried about her."

Di Renjie smiled bitterly.

He calmed down and said, "This matter arose because of me, I will take responsibility for it."

Tomorrow, I will visit the county lord again. Even if I give up my face, I will definitely find out the news about Ami. If the county lord doesn’t agree, I will go to Kunmingchi in person. I don’t believe it, what else can Master Li be unreasonable?"

When Hong Liang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mr. Lang, I didn't say that I asked you to find Duke of Danyang County, but..."

"Okay, okay, I know. You spend more days with the eldest lady so that Ami will not blame me when she comes back and sees her health is not good. In fact, it is not only you who are strange, but I also feel strange. When I met Li Dayong that day, I clearly didn't know Ami. Later, the county lord went to Danyang County Duke to talk about Xiang, but there was no problem.

Why did Ami go to Danyang County Duke's Mansion and stop replying?

You just said that Li Keshi was different from each other, so I don’t believe it. For nothing else, just because he is Li Weigong’s younger brother, I believe that. Unfortunately, Li Dayong is not in Chang'an, otherwise I can also find connections and ask him."

"Alang, do what you can."

"I know."

Di Renjie waved his hand and signaled that Hong Liang could leave.

Hong Liang didn't say anything else, and after leaving the door, he closed the door.

I was a little uneasy... In the past, there was Ami and Hei Sanlang at home, and Di Renjie didn't think there was any problem.

Now, he has a not very down-to-earth feeling.

Standing up, he took off his clothes, blew out the oil lamp, and climbed onto the bed.

No matter what, I will definitely go to Pei Xingjian tomorrow and must figure out what Ami is doing!
Chapter completed!
