"What's going on? What's going on!" Yang Feng was startled.
"Is the noodles too hot?"
"no!"
Chu Yi wiped her tears and continued eating.
"The noodles are so delicious. Even if Mr. Hou can't eat them, I don't know what happened to him!"
Yang Feng knew that the child was concerned about Mr. Hou, but he didn't know what to advise.
Just then Xu Zhengxiang came over after feeding the horse, "You still didn't listen when I told you to rest. Your horse is just like you. It eats without even raising its head. Look how hungry the child is."
On the first day of the new year, he still ate the noodles with big mouthfuls and said vaguely: "Thank you, auntie."
"You're welcome, they're all family members, so why are you thanking me!"
These three words, my family, made my heart warm in the first year of junior high school.
He knew that although the Xiao family was an ordinary family, there was a son from the Chengwang family and a young lady from the Ding'an Hou Mansion, so it was absolutely impossible for them to be a family member.
But the Xiao family is friendly and enthusiastic, and he hopes from the bottom of his heart that he and them can become a family.
"Don't be stunned. There are still eggs left. Eat the eggs."
Xu Zhengxiang advised.
Sure enough, as Xu Zhengxiang said, Xiao Mu came back very quickly.
Returning with him was Ye Luoxin.
When she entered the hospital and saw the first grade of junior high school, before Xiao Mu could speak, Ye Luoxin asked anxiously: "What happened to my grandfather?"
When he first saw the two of them, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Little miss!"
"Don't waste time, what's wrong?" Ye Luoxin asked seriously without the usual smile on her face.
"The Marquis accepted the emperor's order and asked him to go to Huizhou to investigate a case of rural examination fraud." Chu Yi said.
Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu looked at each other and realized that the reason why the Marquis left in a hurry was because of this matter.
"It turned out that before we arrived in Huizhou, the prefect of Huizhou got the information somehow and came to meet us at the intersection."
"Oh?" Xiao Mu's expression changed.
"The prefect set up a case and burned incense to welcome the Marquis, but the Marquis didn't give him any face at all. The carriage didn't stop and took us directly into Huizhou City."
Xiao Mu said: "The fraud case that occurred in Huizhou must have something to do with him as the prefect of Huizhou. He put up such a big battle, I am afraid that he not only wanted to curry favor with the Marquis, but also wanted outsiders to know that he had already taken advantage of the Marquis. I pulled him into his own camp."
"The Marquis told us the same thing!" Chu Yiyi said.
“So after entering Huizhou City, we immediately found an inn and stayed.
Fifteen originally asked if we wanted to live in a more secluded place, but the Marquis said that since they already know our itinerary, no matter how secluded we live, we can't escape their surveillance, so we might as well live under their noses. . "
"Then what?" Ye Luoxin asked quickly: "Then the prefect of Huizhou can't do anything to my grandfather in broad daylight!"
"We think so too. After all, the Marquis is also a close confidant of the emperor. No matter how powerful he is, the magistrate of Huizhou, he still can't really do anything!" Chu Yi looked furious.
"Later, Song Lei, the prefect of Huizhou, went to the inn to find the Marquis several times, but was rejected. The Marquis said that he wanted to let them hang out for a while and let them reveal their flaws. As a result..."
Chu Yi looked guilty at this moment, "No one expected that they actually dared to take action.
We were very careful during dinner the day before yesterday, but who knew that those guys put poison in the chopsticks.
When I first ate it, nothing happened. Who would have thought that halfway through the meal, the adults, and a few brothers were all confused. "
Xiao Mu sighed silently.
Although this matter was caused by Mr. Hou's carelessness. But who would have thought that a small prefect would dare to attack the Marquis?
From this incident, it can be judged that the matter in Huizhou is definitely not small.
If something happens to the Marquis, the magistrate can blame the whole thing and not know about it. At most, he will be accused of dereliction of duty.
But if the Marquis were to find out what Mao'er was doing, he might be charged with beheading his head and ransacking his house.
"Has anyone in the capital gone to report the news?" Xiao Mu asked with concern.
"I went. I went in the third grade of junior high school." replied the first grade of junior high school.
"That day, Chu San, Chu Qi, and I were on duty, so the three of us were awake. But after Mr. Hou fainted, seven or eight masked men suddenly came in outside the inn. Chu Qi stopped him with all his strength, and Chu San and I Only then can I run out to deliver the letter." At this point, the corners of Chu Yi's eyes turned red again.
"This is close to Huizhou. When we arrive in Huizhou, your brother probably hasn't arrived in the capital yet, so it's right for you to send me a letter." Xiao Mu said.
Waiting for the capital to get the information and arrange for manpower to come over, I'm afraid the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold.
Xiao Mu thought to himself.
But you can only think about it, but you can't say it.
He was afraid that Ye Luoxin would be worried.
"Can you tell where the masked men who attacked you came from?"
Xiao Mu asked about the first grade of junior high school.
"Looking at their moves, they look like a killer organization in the world of martial arts. Their techniques are crisp and clean, but their moves are not cliquey."
Paying a murderer?
Xiao Mu muttered.
If it was really a killer in the world, it would be easier to handle.
But if they were the ones they trained themselves, then the water in Huizhou would probably be bottomless.
"Husband, what should I do?"
Ye Luoxin had no idea.
When it comes to making money and doing business, she still has some ideas.
But she didn't have the slightest clue about this kind of killing and killing machine.
Ye Luoxin was very worried about the old Marquis at this time, but she didn't want Xiao Mu to be in danger.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Xiao Mu patted the back of Ye Luoxin's hand comfortingly.
"The water in Huizhou is so deep. As a commoner, how can you be their opponent? How about I give Magistrate Liu some more money and ask him to send some people to us?"
Ye Luoxin asked tentatively.
"Are you asking Magistrate Liu to accept bribes? Madam, your idea is very dangerous!"
Ye Luoxin blushed, "How can this be regarded as accepting a bribe? It can only be regarded as... helping! Something happened to the Marquis. Isn't it right for him to save the Marquis?"
"Liu Mian is just a seventh-grade county magistrate, which is far from enough!" Xiao Mu shook his head.
"That's it!"
Ye Luoxin lowered her head in disappointment.
"If you want to deal with the prefect of Huizhou, you have to be a prefect of the same level as him."
Ye Luoxin immediately raised her head when she heard Xiao Mu's words.
"Prefect? But we..."
We have never had any friendship with the prefect. Based on our status alone, will they really help without hesitation?
If Magistrate Liu can barely do it, then the prefect is simply wishful thinking.
"Don't they all say that Leng Buyan, the magistrate of Anchang Prefecture, is an upright and upright man? I think it's time for us to find him!"
Silent?
The prefect who asked for credit for her?
Ye Luoxin tried her best to recall, but she didn't expect there to be any other interactions between the Xiao family and the prefect.
"Without further ado, I'm leaving now. I should be able to negotiate this matter with Magistrate Leng before midnight today!"
Xiao Mu said, got up and walked out.
