Chapter 637: Really Alert
Jizhou, Leling County, Haixing County
Recently, Lu Wei often visited the seaside of Haixing County with his entourage after finishing his work.
He always visited the Ye family shop.
"Sir, your tea is here."
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Lu Wei thanked politely.
Lu Wei looked very kind, and the shopkeeper liked to talk to him. After serving him tea, there was nothing else to do, so he stood and chatted with him, "Sir, I see you come here often recently, is there anything?"
The reason why the teakeeper asked this was that he felt that there was nothing good to see on the seaside, so it was worth him coming again and again?
Hearing this, Lu Wei looked worried, "Alas, brother, I won't hide it from you. I've been coming to the beach recently for other purposes."
"My last name is Tian. My family is actually doing business in Leling County. I recently heard that my boss had an accident. He fell into the sea when he went out to sea."
"Boss, you don't know that I can be where I am today thanks to my boss' promotion. Now I hear that he has an accident, and I feel so bad. His family is very worried about him."
The teahouse owner thought that he was a grateful person.
They didn't avoid talking to others, so the people around them also heard it and couldn't help shaking their heads.
"What a sin."
"Is the person you are looking for the one the government has been looking for recently?"
"Yes."
The tea shop owner shook his head, "It's probably a bad omen."
Lu Wei smiled bitterly, "I'm just trying my luck, thinking that I can at least do my best to find the person. As the saying goes, if the person is alive, I want to see the body, and if the person is dead, I want to see the body. Other than that, I don't ask for anything else."
The tea shop owner nodded, "Yes, if the body is found, it can be buried properly."
"Shopkeeper, can you please help me find out?" Lu Wei put some silver on the table.
"Okay, okay."
"I'll leave you an address. If you have any news, you can tell me. If you find my superiors or useful news, I will reward you handsomely."
Just then, a boy of twelve or thirteen rushed into the tea shop and bumped into Lu Wei without noticing. Fortunately, Lu Wei's lower body was stable and he was not knocked down.
This person was none other than the son of the tea shop owner.
Fearing that the customer would blame him, the shopkeeper first reprimanded his son, "Are you blind? You are so noisy and not steady at all. You bumped into a distinguished guest, and you didn't apologize quickly!"
Lu Wei waved his hand, "It's okay, little brother, just be more careful next time." He said, and smiled at the child.
Then, he clasped his fists, "Brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, uncles, and aunts, if you have any news, you can also come and tell the shopkeeper. The same, if the news is useful, Tian will definitely reward you handsomely."
Lu Wei's performance was very good, and most of the people in the teahouse agreed to help find out.
In fact, the officials here have come here once or twice recently and asked them questions. When those officials asked questions, they were fierce and ferocious, adhering to the idea that it is better to have less trouble than more, and they all said they didn't know.
Lu Wei did not stay for long and left the teahouse with his entourage.
"Boss, you are so polite to them."
Lu Wei smiled, "When you are out, it's right to be polite when you meet people and things." The governor once said that ordinary people often don't ask about the facts, they just want your attitude.
"Hey, Tian, wait a minute." A duck voice sounded behind him.
Lu Wei paused, turned around, and pointed at himself, "Little brother, are you calling me?"
The big boy rolled his eyes, "I'm calling you!"
"What's the matter?"
"Aren't you looking for someone? I probably know some news."
"Is this true? That's great!" It's really a painstaking effort to find something.
Soon, Lu Wei knew that it was not the big boy in front of him who saved the person, but the sister of his good brother.
When the duck voice took Lu Wei to find the other party, the other party looked at him, with hesitation in his little eyes.
The duck voice pulled the other party aside and persuaded, "He is not a bad person, let him take the person you saved away quickly..."
The little eyes were convinced and decided to take them home. The most important thing is that the wounded need nutrition to recover, but they have no money. If that person can return home to recover, it will be a good thing for him and his sister.
Along the way, Little Eyes told Lu Wei that when they found the person at the beach, his wounds were festering, and they didn't know how long he had been soaking in the sea water. In order to treat his injuries, they took the trouble.
"We are at my house, come in."
After entering the house, Little Eyes took people directly to a small house next to it.
Looking at the empty small house, Little Eyes was stunned, "Where is the person? Why is he gone?"
He said in a duck voice, "Look for it first, did he go to the toilet?"
Lu Wei's eyes darkened, he looked at the small house, and seeing the traces, this small room was indeed lived in.
Looking at Little Eyes and the other two looking for people everywhere, Lu Wei was not as optimistic as them. He thought that Xie Zhan was worthy of being the military commander of Dali, and he was really alert.
Then he followed him out to look for people.
After half an hour, they still didn't find anyone.
The male duck voice said angrily, "He should have left."
The little eyes murmured, "How could he leave without saying goodbye?"
"To treat your lifesaver like this, you are worse than a pig or a dog! He said before that he would repay you brothers and sisters, bah!" The male duck voice was very angry.
Lu Wei listened silently on the side. He had just learned that Xie Zhan and the brother and sister with small eyes promised that he would repay them when he recovered from his injury. They asked them not to make it public because his half-brother was looking for him. They also said that if he was found, he would lose the inheritance right of the family.
So these days, the brother and sister with small eyes have been secretly treating his injuries and hiding his news from the officers and soldiers.
Lu Wei took out twenty taels of silver from his arms and gave it to the brother and sister, "If he comes back, please tell me." Although the possibility is very low.
The brother and sister hesitated and did not take it, "This-I don't know if the person who left is the person you are looking for."
"It's okay, you take this silver and help me keep an eye on the news." This trip was not without gain, at least it was known that Xie Zhan was likely to be alive.
...
Xie Zhan hid in a hidden place and did not escape immediately. He planned to wait until it was dark before leaving.
He didn't expect that he had already told the brother and sister not to reveal his existence to outsiders.
Unexpectedly, they still didn't do it.
He had just taken a careful look and recognized that the man was a capable general under Lu Songli's command. His heart sank at that time. He had already guarded against this, but he didn't expect that he was still unable to guard against it.
Originally, Xie Zhan planned to hide in the dark, while recovering from his injuries and making other plans. But this experience taught him that it was not safe to be alone.
Later, when the sky was getting darker, Xie Zhan left the hiding place and headed towards the official road.
As soon as he approached the official road, he saw a carriage with the Xie family emblem rushing towards him.
Xie Zhan paused and narrowed his eyes. He squatted down and hid in the grass and trees, letting the carriage pass by him and go further and further away.
Obviously, he was not destined to die. Not long after, he saw another carriage with a familiar emblem rushing towards him.
This time he rushed out directly.
