After Xie Rongzhao came back, he comforted Chen Xia and the girl named A Tao, and then gave them a reward each, and gave them two days off to let them have a good rest to avoid being unable to recover anymore.
A Tao is a little younger than Chen Xia, but I heard that he escaped from the Northland. He is young, but he is tall, even half a head taller than Xie Rongzhao. He looks dry, but he is surprisingly strong. big.
A Tao was accidentally discovered by Xie Xiuwen, and he thought that this child was good, and he could marry Guabao together in the future. With a powerful girl, he would definitely be able to protect Guabao.
Unexpectedly, it had only been a few days since we got married, and this would come in handy.
A Tao only rested for one day. She didn't think that scene was very scary. She had seen people cannibalizing people along the way when she fled the wilderness. What else could compare to that?
Xie Rongzhao had not had much contact with A Tao before. When she was in Xie's Mansion, she only had Chen Xia, a capable girl around her. A Tao was only bought last year and was later taught by Grandma Wang. After following the rules for several months, he was sent to serve her.
A Tao is not good at writing, so the person usually in front of Xie Rongzhao is Chen Xia.
"You can serve me in my room from now on. Just like Chen Xia, I was supposed to have two maids, but I never found the right one."
"Yes, thank you ma'am."
"I heard you can't read?"
"Well, I don't know. My family was poor, and my parents couldn't read. Later, they were in trouble, and they fled all the way. They just wanted to have enough food to eat, and they didn't dare to think about anything else."
"Then let Chen Xia teach you five characters every day, and you can practice calligraphy with me in the small study. I don't ask you to write well, but you must at least be able to write, and the words you write can be understood."
"Ah? You still need to learn? Isn't it too wasteful? I know that pens, inks, papers and inkstones are valuable things. I'm just a working man, so why don't you study?"
"You still have to learn." Xie Rongzhao said without any doubt: "How can you not be literate when you work beside me? If you don't learn, then you don't want to follow me. I'll have someone take you back to Xie's Mansion?"
A Tao immediately trembled and knelt down: "My slave is learning, you can teach me whatever you want, just don't drive me away."
Ah Tao remembers it all. When the master bought her, he said that her mission in this life is to protect the young lady. Oh, now it is Mrs. Cheng. In short, if the madam doesn't want her, then she will be of no use. This is not possible!
Jingzhao Mansion acted very quickly. Two days later, portraits of the scarred man were posted everywhere, especially inside and outside the city gate.
The features on the scarred man's face are really too obvious. With such a scar, it is difficult for people to ignore it.
As for the identity of the man, the Jingzhao Mansion is still investigating. Currently, they only know that he was once a soldier of Prince Ping. The status of the arrested people is too low. They only know that his surname is Lin, and the rest are unknown.
But, sooner or later.
People in Jingzhao Mansion would not know that the scarred man was huddled in a farm outside the city. Now Zuo Xiaowei's people were searching everywhere every day, including the villages outside the city. This made The scarred man had to hide from time to time.
Fortunately, he still found a village in the alliance.
Xie Xiuwen had people guarding various city gates in the past few days, just to see which noble family was leaving the city.
After such a major case, many female relatives in the capital are afraid to leave the house for the time being. As for those dandy boys, they have no plans to leave the city for the time being. There are many places in the inner city where they can be happy and happy, so why bother to go there? adventure?
All parts of the capital were under strict investigation of King Ping's old ministry. Anyone who heard some rumors had their tails clamped at this time. They did not dare to cause trouble at this time. Those who could avoid going out basically chose to hide. .
However, Xie Yuan left the city.
Xie Yuan is the grandson of Xie Huaiyi, and the eldest grandson whom Xie Huaiyi values the most.
Xie Huaiyi is nearly 30 years old this year, but he has never made any progress in terms of fame. A few years ago, Xie Huaiyi finally couldn't help it and asked his old friends to recommend him to become an official. Now he is working in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Nowadays, everyone is staying at home and not going out, but Xie Yuan is very brave.
Of course, Xie Yuan was not the only one who left the city, but among the people in the court who had some personal grudges with Xie Xiuwen, there was only one Xie Yuan.
After Xie Xiuwen got the news, he ordered people to keep a close eye on Xie Yuan to see where he went and who he met.
Of course, the premise is that you can't alert the snake in the grass. If that doesn't work, you can lose him, but you must not expose him.
I have to say that Xie Yuan still has some brains.
After he left the city, he first went to Baihe Academy. It was no secret that he had old friends in Baihe Academy. After that, he was helped out by his servants. He seemed to have drank too much and was too drunk to stand.
So, less than two miles after Xie Yuan's carriage had gone out, Xie Yuan got out of the car and vomited, and then he was helped to get back into the carriage again. But this time, the boy quickly ordered the coachman to go to a nearby village. Wake up first.
After they entered Zhuangzi, the people sent by Xie Xiuwen could no longer detect anything.
"Okay, I already know, you can go down and rest first."
"Yes, sir."
Although there is no evidence, when Xie Xiuwen becomes suspicious, he will definitely be determined to find out the truth.
After much deliberation, Xie Xiuwen chose a few long-term workers from Zhuangzi who looked honest and honest. It would be more convenient for them to come forward and make excuses without arousing suspicion.
Xie Xiuwen's guess was correct. The scarred man was hiding in a village owned by Xie Yuan.
He had no choice. He didn't have a lot of money. If he wanted to escape, he had to have money in his hand.
Moreover, he doesn't want to leave the capital yet, as his master's great revenge has not yet been avenged.
Xie Yuan met him once, and naturally he couldn't help but comfort him.
"Now everyone inside and outside the capital is looking for you, and your portraits have been posted everywhere. In my opinion, you can stay here to avoid the limelight for the time being. After a while, I will help you get a false identity and set up a road guide. You go to the Northland."
"No!" The scarred man refused without thinking.
"My master's revenge has not yet been avenged. The thief Xie Xiuwen is still alive. How can I leave just like that?"
Xie Yuan originally just gave him a try, but when he saw his resolute attitude and embarrassment on his face, he felt happy in his heart.
"Well, now that he has been disturbed, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him. It is better to let him go and look for opportunities to act later."
The scarred man was obviously unwilling: "If I had the opportunity to enter the city, I would definitely kill him on the street! I don't believe that he, a scholar, can dodge my knife!"
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed slightly: "Don't be reckless. I will make a decision after I discuss it with you."
