Chapter 668 Because of Your Sticky Relationship with Captain Rong
Another day.
The thick concoction was boiling in the pot, and the smoke made the room very hot. Liu Wei stood in front of the stove, holding a wooden stick in her hand, stirring the concoction.
Xiao Li stood beside him, handing over two ingredients from time to time, and stretching his neck to see the heat of the concoction in the pot.
"Dad, it seems almost done." The little guy reminded him, and took out the porcelain basin that had been prepared, ready to pick it up.
Liu Wei also looked at it for a while, sniffed it, but did not pick up the pot. He just grabbed two more black herbs and threw them in, and continued to cook: "Wait a moment."
Xiao Li responded with a "huh" and began to stare at the boiling boiler intently again.
Jin Nanyun was led by the two tall and fierce guards all the way down to the dungeon. When he arrived at the single cell, he saw this scene.
The thick and rotten iron door was slightly open. Inside, thick smoke filled the air and floated out. The tangy medicinal smell made people's eyes hurt.
Jin Nanyun let out a breath, and her heart that was hanging in the air finally settled down.
When she originally received a message from Liu Wei inviting her to come to the prison for a reunion, she panicked, thinking that something had happened to Liu Wei, so she made all preparations and came to her door early in the morning. .
When she first arrived outside Zhenge Gate, before Jin Nanyun explained her intention, there were guards who asked to take her in.
Jin Nanyun was still a little nervous and wary at the time, but now, she knew that her worries were in vain.
You can tell from the smell of medicine in this cell that Liu Wei must be messing with something messy again, and since Liu Wei is still in the mood to do these yellow-discrimination techniques, his life must not be threatened.
Jin Nanyun took out twenty taels of silver notes, folded them into small pieces, and stuffed them into the palms of the two guards who led the way.
The two of them didn't understand. As soon as they touched the corner of the banknote, they took two steps back and waved their hands: "Mrs. Third Young Master, there is no need to do this. Madam is Master Liu's distinguished guest. How dare we."
Jin Nanyun was stunned for a moment, but did not take back the banknote. Instead, she insisted on giving it to the two of them, saying: "Since I am your Lord Liu's friend, it is my duty to take care of it for Lord Liu. The two guards must not shirk it. It is not No matter how rich you are, you should be able to provide food and drinks to the two of you."
The two of them still didn't answer, looking upright and neither greedy nor dependent.
Jin Nanyun is in a bit of a dilemma. She comes from a business family. In Jin Nanyun's impression, most things in the world can be solved with money.
And now Liu Wei lives in prison. Although he doesn't know the specific situation, there are always some benefits to the people around him.
Besides, it's only twenty taels of silver, so it's nothing. It's just a matter of personal preference.
But these two people were stubborn and refused to answer, which made Jin Nanyun a little uneasy.
The two guards did not know what Jin Nanyun was thinking. They only knew that it was their blessing to be able to serve Master Liu.
And if they still want to collect money from Mr. Liu's distinguished guests, let alone whether it is allowed by Zhengemen's rules, even if it is allowed, they will not be able to get over the hurdle in their hearts.
Seeing that the two of them refused to accept her, Jin Nanyun was anxious to see Liu Wei, so she became rude.
The heavy iron gate was finally passed by Jin Nanyun, and when she saw the scene inside, the worry and melancholy that Jin Nanyun had been brewing all along suddenly disappeared.
I thought that even if Liu Wei didn't suffer in prison, he would always suffer from food and housing, but what is going on now.
The mahogany bed with carved beams, the simple bookshelf with three compartments high, and the incense burned on the wall cabinet are unknown, but it matches the medicinal smell that fills the room, but strangely it doesn't smell bad.
Jin Nanyun looked around, getting more and more frightened. At the end, he saw that in the second drawer of the desk, wasn't the most popular "Hu Mu Inkstone" in Kyoto right now?
It is said that the high-quality pens and inkstones from neighboring countries have been fetched sky-high prices on the black market. Even if she wanted to get two to give to business partners from afar, she could not find a way.
Up to now, Jin Nanyun really believed that Liu Wei was Liu Wei. When had Liu Wei suffered a loss?
To enjoy, Liu Wei enjoys it better than anyone else.
"Aunt Yun." It was Xiao Li who first noticed Jin Nanyun. Even though the little guy was staring at the medicine pot with all his attention, he was still extremely sensitive to the changes around him.
After Xiao Li shouted, Liu Wei also raised his head, saw his friend outside the door, raised his eyelids and said, "Here he comes."
This casual tone...
Jin Nanyun was a little angry. It seemed that her whole night of worry was in vain and was given to this heartless white-eyed wolf.
"You said you were sent to prison, and you thought you had been punished in hundreds of ways and were dying. Now it seems that you are doing very well. I even brought you the golden sore medicine. It is a waste. It is really a pity. ."
Liu Wei naturally saw Jin Nanyun's insincere expression and asked, "Why are you so worried about me?"
"I'm blind." Jin Nanyun replied angrily, pulled out the chair, didn't have the slightest bit of virtue of a virtuous woman, and sat down carelessly, looking at Liu Wei's expression, which was still full of resentment.
Liu Wei handed the mixed wooden stick to his son and asked him to continue. He sat opposite Jin Nanyun, poured a cup of tea for Jin Nanyun, and pushed him over.
Jin Nanyun raised her chin proudly and said, "I can't drink it."
Liu Wei sighed: "I didn't make it clear to you, but since I invited you to Zhengemen, you should naturally think that nothing will happen to me."
Yes, with your sticky relationship with Captain Rong, of course you should be fine.
But you were suddenly imprisoned in Zhengemen. Who knows whether you and Captain Rong turned against each other and the couple ceased to be enemies.
Besides, the situation in Kyoto is still so chaotic right now, and everyone in the Liu family is still in detention...
Jin Nanyun didn't say anything about this.
But having been friends for many years, Liu Wei could guess what was going on in Jin Nanyun's heart, so she didn't say much more and just said: "I called you here today for one thing."
Jin Nanyun's nose is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes. She said "hmm" with a perfunctory look on her face.
Liu Wei knew that Jin Nanyun was pretending, so he just asked: "When will Fu Zichen come to Beijing?"
Hearing Liu Wei ask about this, Jin Nanyun looked at her for a moment and said, "Maybe it's after the new year."
Liu Wei raised her eyebrows: "Didn't you say it was too soon?"
"Isn't this fast? Do you know that if someone hadn't been involved, he wouldn't have even thought of going to Beijing in recent years. It's not like you and I don't know about his family's situation. Besides, next month is the Chinese New Year, and at most it should be February. Arrive in Kyoto."
Liu Wei pondered for a moment and said nothing.
Jin Nanyun thought for a while and asked: "Why, you thought of him? Humph, I didn't know who it was at the beginning, and left Qujiang Mansion without saying a word. How long has it been? Have you seriously never gone back?"
"I can't spare the time." Liu Wei said.
At that time, I returned to Beijing with Rong Leng, and then there were several cases in Beijing. Then I went to Jianyang Mansion because of Jin Nanyun to deal with the case of the headless female corpse. Then I discovered the treasure map and traced it to Guyong Mansion. Tong Xingxing, now back to Beijing, but really don't have time to go back to Qujiang Mansion to see it.
