Xia Jingyun is gambling.

Bet he could get the information he wanted from the man in front of him.

In the confession just now, the man confessed the general appearance of the killer who came to the door, but there was nothing special about it. Obviously, it was impossible to catch the prisoner with such a confession.

He had no interest in catching the prisoner, but he was very interested if the prisoner was related to the person who was silently spying on him.

Therefore, he wanted to see if he could see any clues.

But if the other party stops moving after seeing this man in jail, or in other words, takes no action within seven days, then this hard-to-find clue will have to be broken.

That's what gambling is about.

In fact, he also had some guesses about that person's identity, but for such a big matter, he still had to have conclusive evidence to prove it.

He slowly circled around the man, running his fingers across the man's arms and shoulders, saying some strange words.

The man trembled all over at first, thinking he was about to be tortured.

But then he felt that it would be better to torture him!

He was almost crying. I've already done this damn job. What are you doing?

Xia Jingyun was also ashamed, but for his own personal safety, he could only maintain physical contact in this dark and rancid room with the lingering smell of blood, and silently contemplated in his mind.

Until a blur appeared in front of my eyes, and a picture appeared.

The man was shackled and sitting dejectedly in the cell. The light was dim and only gave an outline of the cell.

A masked man in black jumped in silently, walked quickly to the cell door, identified him, squatted down, and whispered: "Master Hu, I'm here to save you."

As soon as the man heard the voice, he quickly moved over and stood close to the cell door.

But he didn't expect that the other party would directly grab the man's head and slam it on the solid cell door.

The loud banging noise was clearly audible in the dead night, but the masked man did not panic at all. After a few hits, the picture was instantly interrupted.

What a miserable death... Xia Jingyun hurriedly let go of his hand.

Both sides let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

After walking out of the room, Capt. Wu and several other agents immediately came up to him, "Sir, do you have anything to gain?"

Xia Jingyun pondered for a moment and said, "Captain Wu, please take a step to speak."

Wu Captou's heart condensed, and he quickly invited Xia Jingyun to the next door alone.

Xia Jingyun said in a deep voice: "Captain Wu, this guy really has something he didn't explain clearly, and the other party is coming to rescue him."

After hearing this, Capt. Wu smiled and said, "Young master, you are worrying too much. Although our prison here is not as good as the prison in the state or county town, it is still guarded all day long, and there is only one entrance to the whole cell. If you don't want to go there, It is impossible to rob the prison without alerting us."

If you don't rob the prison, you can silence them... Xia Jingyun nodded, "I believe that under the leadership of Capt. Wu, this prison cell can be made impregnable. But you can't guard against it, and the thieves have many tricks. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. If there is an omission, it will make your father look bad at this critical moment, and also lose face in front of many important people."

Capt. Wu's face became serious, and Xia Jingyun struck while the iron was hot, "If the other party is to be rescued, it must take two or three days. Capt. Wu might as well lead his brothers to work harder in the past two days, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, catch fish once, and then he will Cases are being raised, and at this moment when the Concubine Virtue is about to arrive, and the dignitaries are gathering, and everyone hopes for peace and tranquility, there may be an opportunity for you to make a career!"

Wu Captou's heart suddenly became hot and he nodded repeatedly, "Okay! That's it!"

...

By the time he finished all these things, Feng Xiuyun had already left.

She is not idle every day, there are still many tedious tasks waiting for her to do.

But she still thoughtfully left a guard with Xia Jingyun. Xia Jingyun felt a little warm in his heart. After thinking about it, he left the county government office and found a quite clean and tidy jewelry store in the city.

In the store, he picked out a hairpin for Feng Xiuyun.

"Shopkeeper, how much does this cost?"

"Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. This hairpin costs ten taels of silver."

"So expensive?" Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, and then used his familiar bargaining method, "Cheaper, I often buy things from you."

The shopkeeper twitched his lips and smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, sir, the shop is open today."

You were careless... Embarrassment flashed through Xia Jingyun's heart, but his smile did not change, "So you see, I am your first regular customer!"

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, "The young man will ask you for a lucky draw, nine taels and six coins."

"If you want to get lucky, ask for more! Eight taels of silver! How about it! I wish you good fortune from all directions!"

When doing business, who doesn’t want good luck?

After some pulling and pulling, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Eight taels of silver then."

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Okay, then give me four."

The shopkeeper staggered, "What?"

After a while, Xia Jingyun proudly took four hairpins and went out, and placed them with the guards at the place where Feng Xiuyun was temporarily staying.

Feng Xiuyun had just finished a day's work and was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, stretching her body.

When Xia Jingyun walked in, he happened to see a magnificent scene of green mountains on both sides of the bank facing each other and a deep ditch stretching.

Xia Jingyun pretended not to notice, handed over the hairpin solemnly, and solemnly thanked him.

Feng Xiuyun took it hesitantly, and then heard Xia Jingyun say: "I know that my lord's expenses in the palace are beyond comparison with ordinary objects like this, but my ability is limited, so I can only use this to express my gratitude. The courtesy is light but the affection is heavy, I still hope that lord Accept it."

What kind of affection do I have with you... Feng Xiuyun has a ghost in her heart, and everything sounds like she is being targeted.

Looking at her red ears, Xia Jingyun was surprised. Does he really like me?

Sure enough, it has been difficult for heroes to enter the beauty stage since ancient times. Only handsome guys have the easiest time!

"Do you want to stay for dinner?"

"Ah?" The other party's voice was too low, and Xia Jingyun, who was thinking about it, didn't hear it clearly for a while.

Feng Xiuyun regained her composure, "I said it's not early, you should go back first."

Xia Jingyun:? ? ?

"I promised Mr. Zhang that I would visit him. Let's wait for another day."

"good."

Feng Xiuyun nodded and said slowly: "Zhang Dazhi has something to do with you?"

"Well, he wanted to ask me if I have any other methods like the pulley method to transport earth. He wanted to record it. Last night he gave me a hundred taels of silver and said it was Wen Kui's congratulatory gift, so I had no choice but to promise him to go there."

"Zhang Dazhi was born as a supervisor, and he was one of the four master craftsmen under the general supervisor and the young supervisor. Although his rank was not high, and he was a craftsman, he was not valued, but his vision was not low. The general supervisor was responsible for the equipment. There are countless skilled craftsmen involved in building, transporting earth, constructing, and creating all kinds of ingenious objects for the palace. You must not be careless, as ordinary things will never catch his eye."

Listening to Feng Xiuyun's kind and patient reminder, Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Feng Xiuyun pursed her lips proudly, "What does it have to do with me..."

"Then let me tell you something that has something to do with you?"

Feng Xiuyun was stunned and met Xia Jingyun's star-like eyes. The darkness and depth made her unable to help but have the urge to fall.

She has always been very utilitarian and doesn't know whether her change comes from Xia Jingyun's own excellence or the stimulation of power, but she can't help but be confused when looking at this face these days. think.

"You...what are you going to say?" Her voice couldn't help but tremble.

Xia Jingyun leaned closer and asked, "How is your temperament, Concubine De? What are your usual hobbies?"

After a while, Xia Jingyun walked out awkwardly, touching his nose. This woman just fell out with her.

My ears were red just now, and my face turned dark again later.

You want to work with me on colors, right? I'm very good at this too.

Although he is not a prince, he has played with many princesses and has been on the battlefield for many years, so he naturally knows the reason for Feng Xiuyun's change of face.

But he did it on purpose.

At this juncture, it would be better not to mess around with the people around De Fei.

While thinking about it, he walked towards the mansion where Zhang Dazhi temporarily lived.
