Xi Zishu couldn't help but look at her as he followed Xi Duanhong. Xi Duanhong was stared at by his blazing gaze and felt uneasy and stopped.
"Sanlang, what do you want to ask?"
Xi Zishu was caught off guard by this sudden question. He stood awkwardly, like a child who had done something wrong, but he still asked cautiously: "Is my sister wanted? Why should that person be used as a scapegoat?"
Xi Duanhong thought it was a big deal, and raised his hand to rub Xi Zishu's face, "Sister is not wanted, just in case, to find a way out for yourself. In the officialdom, if you want to survive, you must learn to give yourself a chance. I will use him to hand it over now. If your majesty believes it, everyone will be happy. If your majesty does not believe it, I will have other excuses. At that time, I can also delay and find other ways to solve the matter."
"It's just that if you want to have a way to solve it, you must never put yourself in danger, such as proactively admitting that I did it and being thrown into jail. If so, how can I still have a way to solve the matter, don't you think?"
"Understood, shall we hand him over to the emperor now?"
"No," Xi Duanhong turned around and looked in the direction of the south courtyard, "Sanlang, go find Ji Yu. I'm going to Xingshang's place now, so don't follow me."
"OK."
——
He was not seen in the place where Jian Xingshang usually stayed. Xi Duanhong looked at the teacup on the coffee table and stretched out his hand to check that it was cold. They had grown up together, and Xi Duanhong knew best that it was impossible for him to let him drink it. For herbal tea, "Where has this person gone? The tea has become so cold."
"Miss?"
"Xu Zhi?" Xi Duanhong looked at the person who came. Isn't it the Xu Zhi whom he hadn't seen for a long time? "Have you been staying here with Ah Sui these days?"
"yes."
Xi Duanhong pouted dissatisfiedly, "You were sent to protect me by the Lord. Even if he asks you to help you come to him, you still have to tell me. I can't find you these days. Do you know me?" You’ll be worried!”
"It's my subordinate's fault. I would like to punish you according to my wishes."
"Okay, okay, who said I'm going to punish you? You're outside now, not in the pavilion. You have to remember that you have to tell me clearly if you have anything." Xi Duanhong patted Xu Zhi's shoulder with a smile. , "By the way, Ah Sui asked you to investigate whether he sent people to attack us at night. Is there any progress?"
"He is from the prefect. Jia Ping, the prefect of Jiangnan, discovered the rise in prices and the increase in the migration of migrants and refugees, so he secretly investigated the reasons. At this time, Miss, you and Mr. Jian have collected all the properties, including the royal property. The incident gave him some clues."
Xi Duanhong's eyes were a little dodgey, but Xu Zhi noticed them, "Miss, don't worry, Jia Ping doesn't know who did this, so he thought of hiring someone to arrest a few people and go back for interrogation, but it's a pity that It was not successful.”
Hearing Xu Zhi say that the Jiangnan magistrate didn't know who he was, he was relieved, "It's fine if you don't know who I am, how about following the Jiangnan magistrate?"
"Jia Ping was born in a commoner family, but he is a well-known person on the list. He asked to be the official of his parents here and became the prefect here. He is fair and honest."
Xi Duanhong gently rubbed his chin, thoughtfully. Xu Zhi looked at Xi Duanhong in confusion, "Miss?"
"It's okay. Oh, by the way, Xiao Zhi'er, have you seen where A Sui went? I have something to do with him."
"Mr. Jian went out to meet friends today. It seems to be at Yaoting. If Miss wants to find him, she should go here."
"Thanks."
With Xu Zhi's guidance, Xi Duanhong soon arrived at Yaoting. This is the most beautiful lake in the entire Jiangnan. There is a pavilion as big as a garden in the center of the lake. It is a rare dating site and is named Yaoting.
There is an unwritten rule that if you want to go to this pavilion, you need to go together by a man and a woman by boat, so it is also called the Marriage Pavilion.
Xi Duanhong stood on the shore with some worry, watching the people around him get on the boat in pairs. He was alone, where could he get someone to accompany him on the boat?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone say: "The girl is alone. I want to go to the Yao Pavilion opposite. I wonder if the girl is willing to make it happen."
Xi Duanhong raised his head and looked at the owner of the voice. This person was wearing a white smiling face mask. The voice was surprisingly good-looking and made him feel polite. Even though he really couldn't understand the taste, he couldn't think too much about it at the moment. Just make it through
"Okay, it just so happens that I am also worried about not having a companion. Sir, please come."
Xi Duanhong followed the masked man and boarded the boat to Yaoting. Xi Duanhong sat on the boat, stretched out his hand into the lake and felt the touch of the lake water with his fingertips. For some reason, his heart suddenly became very calm at this moment.
"Is this your first time coming to Yaoting, girl?"
Xi Duanhong did not look at him and continued to close his eyes and enjoy the peace, "Yes, I came here to play. I heard that lovers can get married here, so I wanted to come and see if it was as effective as the rumors. .”
"Haha, rumors are just rumors after all. If the girl wants to test whether it is really effective, she may get the answer by bringing her sweetheart here next time."
Xi Duanhong slowly opened his eyes, sweetheart, my lord, what's going on with him in Kyoto now? He is a national master and he can't leave Kyoto at will without a special order. The world is so big, but he can only be trapped in that small place. in Kyoto
The masked man saw the sadness on Xi Duanhong's face and was a little confused, "Uh, aunt, girl? Are you okay? Did I say the wrong thing?"
"No, I just feel a little sad that he can't see such a beautiful scenery with me."
"That's such a pity. There are countless beautiful scenery in this world."
During the conversation, the two of them had arrived at Yaoting. When they got off the boat, Xi Duanhong accidentally caught a glimpse of two familiar figures. He didn't even have time to explain, "Thank you for today, sir. I'll take the first step."
Xi Duanhong followed the two figures he just saw until he came to a place where there were relatively few people and stopped. Xi Duanhong also chose a place not too far away to sit down.
"Why did you invite me here?"
"Oh, don't be so cold. You finally came down from that broken mountain, and I worked so hard to find you. At least be warm to me, Ah Shang."
Hiss, this voice sounds so familiar.
"Enthusiasm?" Jian Xingshang snorted coldly, "Have you ever seen me be enthusiastic, especially to you? Tell me what you want me to do."
"I'm here to take you back. The world is going to be in chaos. It's not safe for you down the mountain."
"What does my safety have to do with you? Yanyang, you are too involved."
Yanyang? Only then did Xi Duanhong remember, isn't this her neighbor who always talks out of tune? Why are these two people together? It seems that their relationship is not very friendly.
"You can't say that. I care about you so much. Are you willing to make me sad?"
"What are you doing! Let go!"
There was a tugging sound. In order to prevent herself from being exposed, Xi Duanhong couldn't look at them openly. She felt itchy in her heart because she was just curious to see them.
“That girl over there, you’ve been listening to her for so long, why don’t you come over and meet her?”
Xi Duanhong felt the footsteps stop at his place, and then his hand was on his shoulder. Xi Duanhong knew that he couldn't hide, so he turned around and smiled, "Brother Yan, Ah Sui, what a coincidence..." "
Jian Xingshang looked at Xi Duanhong in shock, "Little girl, why are you here?"
Xi Duanhong waved his hands to the two of them awkwardly, "Hey..."
Yan Yangti picked up Xi Duanhong's back collar and said in a deep voice, "Tell me."
