Chapter 39: Finding Lu Er to Find the Truth

Li Yaoguang secretly praised Fusheng for being a nice person, took out the key to open the lock, pulled the food into the door one by one, put it into the space, and then locked the door and left. She was afraid that she would not be able to come back and sleep tonight, so she had to go to Green Garden to guard it to feel at ease.

And Fusheng, whom she praised, was very agile. He respectfully sent the doctor back to the clinic, waited for the boy to prepare the medicine, jumped into the car with two large piles of medicine bags, and hurried back.

When he arrived at the corner gate, Li Yaoguang was waiting for him in front of the door, sitting on the threshold. Fusheng did not dare to delay and hurried forward to hand over the things to him.

"Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. All the medicines are here. This small pile is for you to take right now. The doctor told you to take it for five days in a row, three times a day, one bowl of medicine at each meal. Put one packet in while boiling, and boil five bowls of water into one bowl of water. Use a low fire. This large pile is for you to start taking after five days. Take it the same way, but don't mix up the two medicines."

Fusheng gave instructions one by one conscientiously. Li Yaoguang listened carefully, took the two large bags of medicine and thanked him solemnly, "Thank you, Brother Fusheng, and Uncle Ma who drives the car. It's all thanks to you two tonight. I'll treat you to a drink later."

"Hey, that's nothing. The shopkeeper assigned us to serve the master, and this is our duty. It's shameful for us to say that, master." Fusheng said this sincerely. After all, he really liked the young master in front of him, especially the story of The Legend of the Condor Heroes that the master was telling now. He especially admired the saying that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people.

Thinking of storytelling, Fusheng suddenly reacted and looked at Li Yaoguang with concern: "By the way, sir, something big happened in your family. Can I ask the shopkeeper for a day off tomorrow after I go back?"

Do you want to ask for leave? "That's not necessary."

Her uncle is now in a stable condition, and with her aunt taking care of him, she doesn't need to do anything. What she cares about now is which bastard harmed her uncle like this. She thinks that Master Lu Fang should know.

And because the Journey to the West at Weimeilou was finished recently and he was starting to tell a new story, The Return of the Condor Heroes, this guy comes to Weimeilou almost every day to listen to stories. It's not difficult to find him.

After settling down at home, when Erqiao came to pick her up in the carriage of Yaxian Pavilion the next day, Li Yaoguang asked Erqiao to go to the tile market first, and left a bag of cakes from Yaxian Pavilion for several stall friends. After asking around with a familiar fortune-teller stall friend, Li Yaoguang went straight to the wood shop that the other party mentioned.

He took out the blueprint of the simple wheelchair he had made at home last night, discussed it with the master craftsman in the wood shop, gave him a deposit of five taels, agreed on a time to pick up the goods, and bought a small wooden box before leaving. Only then did Li Yaoguang follow Erqiao back to Yaxian Pavilion.

Li Yaoguang had been paying attention to the storytelling at Yaxian Pavilion the whole day, but he did not see Lu Er. He finally waited until the evening when Weimeilou came to pick him up. Li Yaoguang took the wooden box that had two small mirrors in it and followed Fusheng back to Weimeilou.

When The Return of the Condor Heroes started airing, as expected, Lu Er's figure was seen on the corridor of the Tianzi Elegant Room on the second floor. After Li Yaoguang finished broadcasting the two episodes of the day, he said something to Fusheng, then went upstairs with the box.

Lu Fang, who felt unsatisfied with what he had heard in the private room, was feeling unhappy. When he heard the waiter report that Mr. Wuyou was looking for him, his eyes widened and he hurriedly called out to him, "Come in."

When Li Yaoguang was invited in by Lu Fang's servant, what he saw was Master Lu sitting at a round table filled with delicious food, looking at him anxiously.

Li Yaoguang bowed and greeted, "Hello, Second Master Lu."

Lu Fang couldn't wait to raise his hand, "An An An, I'm very at peace. I heard that you wanted to see me for something. I wonder why you want to see me?"

Li Yaoguang put the wooden box in his hand on the table and pushed it towards the other party.

"Yesterday when I returned home, I heard from my aunt that it was Second Master Lu who saved my uncle. This was such a great favor, and since my aunt was a woman in the inner house and couldn't come out in person, she ordered me to come out and thank Second Master."

"Oh? Your uncle? Wait! Who? Did I save him? How come I didn't know?" After hearing Li Yaoguang say this, Lu Fang was still confused. It was only after the servant next to him pondered for a moment and hurriedly leaned close to his master and whispered something that Lu Fang suddenly realized and looked at Li Yaoguang in surprise.

"Good fellow, boy, ah no, it's Mr. Wuyou, that Cheng Su from the Zhenwei Marquis's Mansion is actually your uncle?"

Look at what this said!
"It is true. The person you are talking about is my uncle." Li Yaoguang bowed solemnly to the other party again, "I thank Mr. Lu for his rescue and escort. I also want to ask Mr. Lu what happened to my uncle yesterday?"

Lu Fang was very smart. He looked at Li Yaoguang with a smile, his eyes rolling around. He raised his hand and pointed at the box that Li Yaoguang had just pushed in front of his eyes and said, "So this is the thank-you gift from you, sir."

"Exactly."

"Hahaha, sir, sir, I think your thanks today are fake. You want to ask me about what happened yesterday, especially the person who attacked your uncle, right?"

Li Yaoguang never showed off in front of smart people, nor did he try to be smart, so he nodded in agreement.

"Master Lu is wise and powerful, and nothing can be hidden from you. Yes, as a junior, if I do not care about the disaster suffered by my elders, how can I be a human being? I am not talented enough, but I would like to ask Master Lu to tell me what happened yesterday. I will be grateful."

"Well..." This guy dragged out his words, and after whetting Li Yaoguang's appetite, he pushed the wooden box in front of him back and didn't even open it or look at it.

"Sir, I don't want this thank-you gift. I can also tell you the truth you want to know, but I also have a small request."

"any request?"

"Hehehe, it's not a difficult task. Sir, could you tell me the story of The Divine Condor in advance? How about it?" Afraid that the stubborn Li Yaoguang would not respond, Lu Fang tried his best to persuade him.

"Don't worry, sir. I know your rules. I, Lu Fang, am also a very principled person. Even if you told me in advance, I will keep it a secret and not tell anyone. I swear!"

Looking at the person in front of him who raised his finger to the sky and swore, Li Yaoguang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, but before I tell Master Lu about it, please tell me the truth of yesterday."

Once he got what he wanted, Lu Fang was no longer afraid that Li Yaoguang would go back on his word and play tricks on him. He waved his hand generously and mentioned what happened yesterday.

"The thing is like this..."

Yesterday he was supposed to go to Weimeilou to reserve a seat for today, but he didn't check the almanac before going out and ran into Zhou Gaishi. He didn't want to get entangled with him, but that guy was shameless and insisted on getting entangled with him. At that time, the two of them happened to be on the main street of Dongwai City, with people coming and going. When the two were in a stalemate, Cheng Su led his men past them.

"Cheng Su, your uncle, once made a bet with Zhou Gai Shi and won a piece of top-quality ginseng from him. The grudge was formed then. Yesterday, Zhou Gai Shi failed to harass me, and when he was angry, he harassed your uncle again. But your uncle is also a stubborn person. He became a lowly merchant and didn't help him at all. So, he got his old grudges mixed together and ordered people to beat up your uncle..."
