C72 Just asking for directions

The Uncle Luo continued to vent his anger as he muttered: "I'll beat you to death with your big mouth, making you curse our Young Miss."

However, Uncle Luo was clear, the rate of defeat was much higher than that of victory. He could not blame the young miss for this, it was just that the environment was too dangerous and the enemy was too cunning.

Luo Mingshi did not know what everyone was thinking, and at the moment, she had already arrived at the Luo Family Headquarters.

On the front door, there was a signboard with the word 'Luo' written on it.

Just as she was about to enter, she was stopped by a gatekeeper, "How can you enter such a heavy place as you wish?"

Luo Mingshi could not help but sneer, but did not reveal any of it on the surface, and pretended to be innocent, "Brothers, I am just here to ask for directions, why are you so fierce, are all people of Luo Mansion so evil?"

However, the two gatekeepers were stunned. They had already heard the order a while ago that if a woman wanted to enter, they would immediately chase her away, regardless of what she said. As a result, the two of them waited for a long time. Finally, they met someone and went up to shout. Who knew that the girl was just asking for directions?

For a moment, the two of them felt awkward, and one of the more nimble of them immediately spoke up, "Our Luo Mansion are all good people, Miss, please do not talk nonsense, but let me teach you a way out."

However, this time, his tone was much more gentle.

Seeing that, Luo Mingshi immediately understood what was going on, she immediately showed her might, and laughed: I have a way, you guys do not know how, it's better if I go myself.

Without waiting for the two guards to react, he walked straight into the headquarters. The two guards were stunned for a moment before they hurried to stop him.

What's the matter with this girl? She wanted to go in but refused to, so she lied that she came to ask for directions. At this moment, she swaggered back in.

However, before they could even touch Luo Mingshi, they suddenly froze in place.

Wang Chun was also shocked in her heart, but she did not have the time to wait for her to stare blankly. Seeing that the young miss was about to disappear, she quickly ran and chased after her.

There were a lot of servants in the main hall. However, regardless of whether it was the maidservants or the servants, they all seemed to be unable to see her. They all hurriedly glanced at her before quickly leaving to do their own things.

Another show of strength?

Luo Mingshi felt disdain in her heart. Even though she knew that these people would not let her live an easy life, she never thought that it would be such a painless and modest way to laugh, to the point that it made her laugh out of her teeth.

Wang Chun was obviously angry, she snorted and turned to Luo Mingshi: "Young miss, these people are so angry, what should we do?"

"Since no one is here to greet me, then I will greet myself." After Luo Mingshi finished speaking, she walked into the room. Although no one dared to come forward to stop him, no one dared.

"Miss." He heard a call, and it was especially obvious in the originally quiet place. This call must have come from calling her young miss, if not how could Luo Mansion find a second young miss?

Luo Mingshi turned around, and realized that it was actually the man in white whom she had saved that day.

Luo Mingshi sized her up, then unwittingly opened her mouth and asked: "Is there anything?"

Luo Hongyi did not take Luo Mingshi's cold attitude to heart, but said with a cheerful voice: "Elder said that you will be coming to the main camp today, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you, and it's great that I'm here to see you again."

Luo Hongyi said, and could not help but ask curiously, "Miss, what are you doing here?" After saying that, he turned around to look at his surroundings. The flowers and plants in the courtyard as well as the budding lotus flowers in the pond, suddenly came to a realization and said, "Oh! "Does xiaojie want to first admire the flowers before going?"

Luo Mingshi saw that he found it fun to be in a daze, and could only watch him talking to herself while smiling. That Wang Chun however said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that, none of the people in your department are good people."

When Luo Hongyi, who was originally happy, heard this, he let out a bitter laugh and said with a wronged tone of voice, "How can there be no good people?

Luo Mingshi did not want to tease him anymore, she only said: "I know you are a good person, can I trouble you to bring me there? We haven't even found the way. "

Even if Luo Hongyi was stunned, he had reacted by now, "Could it be that no one has been willing to lead the way for you?"

Luo Mingshi just smiled and did not speak. Could it be that she had to tell a little kid like him to help her get out?

Luo Hongyi saw that Luo Mingshi did not reply, and was a little depressed, but then he said: "Okay, then I'll bring Young Miss over."

After Luo Mingshi heard this, she opened her mouth to say with a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Luo Hongyi brought Luo Mingshi and the two servants to the accounting room, then familiarly dug out pen and paper, and handed them over to Luo Mingshi: "These are last month's accounts books, and they have not been submitted this month. There are still many ancient accounts here."

Luo Mingshi took the account book that was said to be dated from last month. The thickness of the account book was already as thick as a finger, but it was filled to the brim with records and there were no empty pages.

Luo Hongyi scratched the back of his head as he thought about it, "There are probably dozens of years worth of books, but I feel like you just need to look at the books, Miss. However, there are some special scrolls which you have to read in detail. "

"Ten years? Are you trying to make things difficult for our young miss?" After Wang Chun heard this, she became angry again. Why did she keep coming across people and things that made Young Miss angry?

Seeing Wang Chun flustered, Luo Hongyi immediately clarified: "No, no, I only told him this for the young miss's own good."

In Luo Mingshi's mind, she suddenly recalled the words that she had heard from Liu Wensheng before: I wonder if the accountant for this Luo Family department is able to settle the accounts every day, I even want to go and help him.

He could not help but laugh, and then asked Luo Hongyi: "Who was the person who was in charge of the previous account?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Hongyi, who was usually a little dazed, at this moment, mysteriously came close to Luo Mingshi's ear and said: "It's me. Miss, please don't tell anyone. "

Luo Mingshi could not help but feel a little exasperated. Was it really necessary to be so mysterious about settling debts?

However, the truth was that she had asked the same question.

Luo Hongyi frowned and said, a little distressed: "I'm not too sure either, but the elders told me to hide it, so don't tell anyone. Tell me so I won't be in danger. "

When Luo Mingshi thought about it, she realized that it was true. If even Liu Wensheng did not know who the owner of the Luo Family was, he would know that the elder had intentionally hidden this matter from him.

Then, thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you tell me?"

"Because the elder told you to come and pick me up. When you get used to it, maybe you will learn about this matter." After saying that, he looked a little embarrassed, his face slightly blushed as he apologized, "I don't know why elder taught you such dangerous things."

"How does the account book become a dangerous matter again?" Luo Hongyi could not help but break out in cold sweat.

Luo Hongyi frowned as he replied, "Cheng De said that it's because Luo Family is too rich, but no one knows exactly how much money there is, so many bored people in the underworld, in order to find out how much money Luo Family is, come here to catch people reading the books."

Luo Mingshi was speechless for a moment, when she heard Luo Hongyi mention Cheng De, she probed: "Then is Luo Chengde my blood brother?"

Luo Hongyi was stunned for a while, then answered, "That's not right, Luo Chengde and I were both adopted by the elders since we were young." He didn't look too sad when he said that.
