"Huai Xiu..."

When she came to her senses, food was already placed on the table. Ziyi also opened the door and walked in, bringing a brazier, and the room suddenly became warm.

Song Yuan put a bowl of soup in front of her, "Let's make do with it. As a policeman, I go out early and come back late, so I often can't eat on time. In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I still don't want you to do this job, but since it's yours

My wish...tomorrow, I will ask Ziyi to find a slave to come over. At any rate, when you come back next time, you can have a hot meal."

Huh? And this kind of treatment?

"If you don't want to move, don't refuse my kindness."

Huaixiu took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and took a sip of the soup, instantly feeling warm from his stomach to his heart.

She didn't put her mind on this, "Brother Song, you are the boss of Yongchang. Is that what you meant by what you just said?"

Finally Huaixiu asked her question, and at this moment, she had calmed down.

The room was also quiet, except for the sound of the mutton soup boiling in the clay pot.

Song Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, I didn't hide it from you deliberately. I never had a chance to tell you. However, I really don't care much about Yongchang's affairs. Feng Zheng is in charge of it. He reports to me every once in a while.

Ji, you have been to Yongchang today, and there is news from there, so I know it, and I thought I should talk to you about it."

After receiving his affirmative answer, Huaixiu couldn't express his feelings.

"You also know about the recent iron nail case, right?"

"Yes." Song Yuan looked at Huaixiu seriously, "I know what you want to ask. Let me tell you now that the iron nail case has nothing to do with Yongchang. I won't hide it from you. I am a businessman. I do not deny that there is a profit-seeking side of businessmen.

I used some means to attack my colleagues and bribed the officials just for convenience, but the iron nails are warships, which are related to the fate of the country and the lives of hundreds of soldiers. Yongchang will never do such a thing."

Hearing this answer, Huaixiu felt relieved, "What about pirates? Is Yongchang related to pirates?"

Song Yuan did not hesitate, "No."

Huaixiu looked directly into his eyes, as if she could see into his heart.

He was so straightforward that Huaixiu's heart dropped.

As long as he says no, she will believe it.

This trust comes from his affection for him, but also from his courage to help Mr. Wang Zhong deal with the water bandits and help the Yamen solve the case seven years ago, regardless of the risk of his life. The nervousness just now and the relief at this moment also fell into Song Yuan's eyes.

, he saw her smile, not like the fake smile just now, it was a completely trusting, unreserved and sincere smile. Then she picked up a large piece of mutton and stuffed it into her mouth, "I

Really hungry."

She ate it one bite at a time without asking any more questions.

"It's delicious." She grinned and finished the plate of mutton quickly. When Song Yuan saw this, he chuckled, but there was a trace of bitterness in his heart. He felt deeply guilty for trusting her.

"I didn't expect that Brother Song would become a rich man after not seeing him for seven years."

Huaixiu was obviously teasing and wanted to break the weird atmosphere.

Song Yuan smiled bitterly and said to her, "I did the silk and satin business in the past few years and accumulated some money. However, once, the goods imported from Hangzhou were robbed on the water. It was not just me, but also many merchants.

He suffered terribly from the water pirates. Later, he had the opportunity to buy the "Changhe" shipping company, and met some friends in the rivers and lakes. He helped escort the boat when it was sailing. In this way, Yongchang's reputation slowly grew, and even the water pirates were afraid of him when they saw it.

Afterwards, merchants were willing to use Yongchang's ships, and Feng Zheng was a good shopkeeper and best at dealing with officialdom, so the business grew bigger and bigger."

Brother Song is a wandering Jianghu man, and there are Jianghu people to help him. Huaixiu has no doubt that he bought a boat shop because he dealt with water bandits. Others don't understand it, but she understands that Brother Song's parents were poisoned by water pirates.

Kou killed...

Huaixiu no longer had the slightest doubt, and took some vegetables for Song Yuan, and said with a smile, "You can eat too."

"The man at the shipyard said you were investigating the assassination case of Qiu Tiao?"

Huaixiu put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, "I just used this case to investigate the iron nail case. Of course, I will also investigate the case of the enemy." Then, he went on to explain the situation of the 'Desheng' workshop one by one.

"Zhang Xiaoren..." Song Yuan remembered the little fat man from back then, "It turns out that he is Rong Niang's younger brother, and Qian Desheng is their uncle."

Huaixiu nodded and said, "Although I don't have much contact with Qian Desheng, I feel that he is not the kind of person who steals iron mines from the Ministry of Industry. He is also a businessman. Don't you know that this is a crime of beheading? He has a large family

They all live in the capital. Besides, what can you do if you steal the iron ore? As for Han Biao, not only is he missing, but his family is also missing. No one can be found in Dali Temple. It is obvious that

This has been prepared for a long time.”

Song Yuan nodded, "This matter also concerns Yongchang. Han Biao is from Yongchang. I know that many people doubt Yongchang. The reason why Yongchang can stay out of the matter is just because he spent money on management." Song Yuan laughed at himself, "I

I also hope that the cause can be found out and Yongchang can be cleared."

Huaixiu smiled and said, "Brother Song is so careless about bribing court officials in front of me, so I'm not afraid..."

Song and Yuan were not joking, "Many people in Dongchang, Jinyiwei and many government offices are not worthy of being officials. Even the emperor neglects government affairs and favors treacherous ministers." After saying this, he drank a cup of tea as if drinking wine.

Huaixiu was startled, "Brother Song..."

Song Yuan smiled faintly, "So are you still sure that such a court is worthy of your service?"

Huaixiu fell silent after hearing this. From his words, she could hear his deep dissatisfaction and sarcasm towards the imperial court. But, but, there was always something wrong with his thoughts. She knew that the imperial court had long-standing shortcomings, and those who did nothing were promoted. Some

Actors are suppressed, as is the case with Liumen. However, "When I am a police officer, I am not working for anyone, but for the people. Maybe Brother Song will laugh at me if I say it. I am just a commoner, but that's what I think."

Yes, do your part, even if it is to catch a thief or find a copper plate. I think the owner of the lost copper plate must be grateful at that moment. That is a kind of hope. Not everything in this world is black.

, it’s good to have hope.”

Song Yuan was slightly shocked when he heard this.

What is recovered is not just a copper plate, but also the hope of life.

There was a brief silence, "Huaixiu... I didn't know you thought this way."

"It made Brother Song laugh."

"No, I'm... surprised and touched."

Seeing Song Yuan's seriousness, Huaixiu burst out laughing again. She blushed and said, "Eat, eat, don't be fooled by my words." Then she poured all the meat into the boiling clay pot.

"Huaixiu, Huaixiu...help..."

Chang'an's call sounded outside. Huaixiu was startled, put down his chopsticks and rushed out of the house. He saw Huaixiu standing in the yard confronting Ziyi.

She said with a mournful face, "Help...he won't let me in. I smell mutton. Huaixiu, I'm hungry."

Seeing Song Yuan coming out again, Changan greeted him warmly and said with a smile, "I know it's you, Boss Song."

Song Yuan coughed lightly and asked Ziyi to let go of Chang An. Chang An ran to Song Yuan like a dog, "Does Boss Song bring a lot of mutton?"

Huaixiu has a headache.

Song Yuan ignored Chang An and said to Huaixiu, "I'm leaving first. If you need anything about the case, just come to me. In addition, I have already explained it. If you go to the shipyard again, you can check anything. No one will

Stop you."

When Huaixiu heard this, his eyes lit up.

Changan was surprised.

Then Song Yuan left with Ziyi, and Huaixiu hurriedly chased him out and gave him the lamp. Song Yuan looked at her deeply and said nothing.

When Huaixiu returned to the house, he saw Chang'an holding a bowl and wolfing down the food.

"Hey, leave some for me."

...

After a while, the two of them fell on the bed, stroking their swollen bellies.

Chang An burped and said, "It's comfortable. Will Song Yuan still send it tomorrow?"

Huaixiu let out a sigh and burped.

Chang'an seemed to have thought of something, jumped up and said with a smile, "That Song Yuan..."

Huaixiu told her eight letters, "He is the boss of Yongchang."

Chang'an blinked when he heard this, "Did he tell you?"

"You don't seem surprised at all?" Huaixiu looked sideways at her.

"Surprised, that's not surprising." Chang'an raised his voice and said with a smile, "But what I'm more surprised about is that Boss Song cares about you very much."

Huaixiu stood up in a whoosh, as if he had been hit in the head, and his face immediately sank, "Don't talk nonsense."

"What nonsense am I talking about?" Chang An looked puzzled, "I thought rich people always have eyes on their heads. Song Yuan still remembers your friendship in Shi'an County. Although he is a profiteer, he is also a kind and righteous person.

,Wait a minute, don’t misunderstand me. The 'concern' I mean is concern for an old friend, not that kind of 'concern'."
