"Sir, someone outside the door captured the female officer who escaped before. She is now outside the door."
In the courtyard, Lei Qiu was standing in front of the birdcage playing with the birds. He suddenly sneered and said, "Invite Miss Xi to come in and sit down. It just so happens that I also want to have a good talk with her."
"yes."
Xi Duanhong was kidnapped and staggered all the way to the inner courtyard. The moment she saw the man, she knew that this man was the one who wanted to arrest her.
"My dear, Leiqiu, welcome the female official to be our guest."
The sinister smile on Lei Qiu's face made Xi Duanhong frightened, but he still had the courage to say: "Since you welcome me as a guest, why don't you loosen your ties first? I'm quite tired, don't worry, I won't Running."
The servant on the side was about to make a move when he was stopped by Lei Qiu's look, "The female officer doesn't know something. People who have entered my courtyard cannot get out. If you want to loosen your bonds now, do you still want to be the same as before?"
"Oh, that's right," Lei Qiu lowered his voice as if he remembered something funny, and said with a half-smile, "Maybe you don't know that the person who let you go at the beginning, hahahaha, his family has been with me for a long time. The flowers, grass and soil in this courtyard blend into one, hahahaha!"
"Tell me, isn't it interesting~"
Xi Duanhong didn't say anything. Zhou Xu would know about this matter sooner or later. I felt sorry for him, but I would never let it go like this.
"Lei Qiu, is there anyone you care about?" Xi Duanhong said in a cold tone, "Do you really want to please Tan Yanxian so that you can pave the way for your ambition in the future?"
"Oh, Xi Duanhong, who do you think you are? You are worthy of trying to figure out my thoughts!"
Xi Duanhong smiled, "Otherwise, do you think you would catch me so easily?"
"I asked you to run away that day. In that case, let's settle the old and new scores together. Xi Duanhong, please hold on a little longer. Don't die." Lei Qiu waved his hand and asked someone to lift her up. "Take her down to that water prison." It’s for her.”
"yes!"
"Hey, wait," Xi Duanhong stopped, "I said I wouldn't run away. Why don't you believe me? Mr. Lei doesn't even have the means to keep people around, right?"
Lei Qiu smiled instead of getting angry. He waved people off and came behind Xi Duanhong. "It's not smart to provoke the generals," he said. Lei Qiu personally untied Xi Duanhong.
"Then someone has to cooperate." Xi Duanhong rubbed his wrist, walked to the pavilion, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, "Don't worry, I keep my word. If you want to convict me, you can, but , I need Mr. Lei to do me a favor."
"Are you negotiating terms with me?" Lei Qiu's eerie voice came over.
"It doesn't count. This matter is good for both you and Tan Yanxian. You don't want to interfere in Jiangnan. You help me and I will help you get what you want. Isn't this a bad deal?"
The fan in Lei Qiu's hand lifted Xi Duanhong's chin and asked her to look at him, "Whose person are you?"
"It doesn't belong to anyone. In this situation, I have to protect myself wisely, what do you think, Mr. Lei?"
Seeing Xi Duanhong smiling as if he was confident of winning, Lei Qiu put away his fan and said, "What do you want me to help you with?"
"The third prince will come to you to ask for someone, so don't hand me over."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Suddenly Lei Qiu thought of something and said with a smile, "You dare to deceive me, Xi Duanhong, you are indeed not an ordinary person."
"Miuzan, then, Mr. Lei wishes us a happy cooperation." Xi Duanhong picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, then stood up, "Let's go, take me to the prison."
"Someone will take you after you go out, Xi Duanhong. I hope you can hold on, but don't die first. Otherwise, don't blame me for telling your story."
Xi Duanhong just waved his hands without saying anything, and walked out without any hesitation.
I don’t know who leaked the news. Xi Duanhong, the first female official of Daqi, was imprisoned in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for killing several people and fell into the hands of Lei Qiu, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
This incident spread all over the streets and alleys. After the third prince Mu Feng found out about the incident, he went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and wanted to take the person out, but was stopped by Lei Qiu's people and was rejected.
Ouyang Zhu did nothing about it. When Chen Shuli came to tell him about it, the man was still basking in the sun leisurely.
"Sir, if Miss Xi fell into Lei Qiu's hands, she would not die but would only have one breath left. How could she be caught?"
"You and I both know her skills. In Kyoto, no one except me, the one in the palace, has the ability to catch her."
"She did it on purpose," Chen Shuli suddenly realized, "She did this because of the order issued by Emperor Jingyuan that day. She wanted to disobey the order but could not openly disobey it. Once she entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, no one could take her out. , This girl is so smart."
"Yes, this little girl of mine is very smart and courageous," Ouyang Zhu slowly opened his eyes, "You are worthy of me if you dare to make a deal with someone from Tan Yanxian."
"You're not worried at all. You expected all this, right?"
"Hey..." Ouyang Zhu closed his eyes again and enjoyed the sunshine, "I will die and live again."
Chen Shuli understood the meaning and turned around to leave. That sentence had always been his spoken word, and she knew it without thinking. But that day, the master asked her to go to the center, and everything made sense.
Since Xi Duanhong was imprisoned in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Mu Feng was unable to take her away, and his mission to recover Jiangnan was delayed.
——
In the private room on the fourth floor of Jufeng Building
"What a big joke. Our female official was arrested by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Whose does she belong to?" Mu Lingye, who was sitting in the main seat, hugged the beautiful woman next to him and looked at the people around him with disdain, "Three Brother, why don't you tell me, you happen to be responsible for following a female officer."
Mu Feng didn't know what to say. He himself didn't know what was going on. "Second brother, don't embarrass me. I don't know what happened. It seemed like I was suddenly caught overnight. If it was because of Mr. Nancheng’s incident before, I would have asked someone to take care of the matter at that time, so it would not affect her.”
The man sitting in the corner suddenly said, "That Lei Qiu is Tan Yanxian's favorite disciple. Everyone must cooperate with him if he wants to arrest him. He is too rampant now."
Mu Lingye looked at this person, "Oh? What does our Mr. Ji have to say?"
Mr. Ji is the most popular Ji Wenyu among the three jade men in Kyoto. His courtesy name is Weilou. He is the grandson of Mr. Ji Yao, the chief minister of the cabinet. He is considered one of the three most talented men in Kyoto at a young age. He is Mu Lingye's guest. Since he was young, he has always been by Mu Lingye’s side.
Ji Weilou put down the bead string in his hand, "His Royal Highness just now said that he had already taken care of Miss Nanlian's matter. So, is it really because of the murder that she was arrested now? Maybe this is a cover. "
A word awakened the dreamer, Mu Lingye and Mu Feng looked at each other
Ji Weilou continued, "There is something in this female official that they are interested in, otherwise they would never capture her easily."
"I will investigate this matter," Mu Feng stood up and left, "Goodbye."
Mu Lingye didn't try to stay. From Ji Weilou's point of view, the two people were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface.
"You can go to Weilou too, don't you still have an appointment?"
Ji Weilou didn't say much, stood up, saluted and left. He did have an appointment. He left the private room, went down to the second floor and walked into a private room. The people inside had been waiting for a long time.
"Wen Yu, you're here." The man raised his head and smiled at him, inviting him to come and sit down. "I thought you were going to miss your appointment again today. I'm very happy that you're here."
Ji Weilou leaned lazily on his chair, with a cold elegance in his eyes, "Can someone like you be happy? Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm just looking for you to drink. I know you hate Tan Yanxian and Xu Lingxiang, but I'm different from them. Can you stop being so cold to me?"
"Zhang Yuzhong, you are Xu Lingxiang's person. We have different positions. You don't have to ask me out again in the future. Even if you do, I won't come again. Today will be the last time you and I have a drink."
Zhang Yuzhong is also one of the three jade men in Kyoto. The difference is that he is a military commander. He is more than a head taller than Ji Weilou. His skin color is also healthy and bronze, unlike Ji Weilou who is fair.
"You," Zhang Yuzhong sighed helplessly, "why bother? Wen Yu, you know that I will never lie to you."
Ji Weilou put down the wine cup and said, "Today we will just drink and not talk about anything else."
Zhang Yuzhong knew what kind of person he was, so he didn't say anything more. He picked up the wine can and drank half of it.
