The night in the city is always more desolate than in the countryside, and as far as the eye can see, except for the gray sky, there is no life to be seen, and because Zhigezhai is secluded, there is no sound on all sides. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Yao suddenly missed Xiaotou Village, whether it was a summer night or a winter night, the smoke curled and the chickens and dogs barked, the east family and the west family, the eldest sister, eldest brother and aunt could scream vigorously.

Before the playful children returned home, the parents stood at the door and shouted "eat", and everyone scattered and laughed and went home, which was not as deserted as this.

Luo Meng didn't know what to do in the house, Yao Yan knocked on the door and shouted, "Big brother----"

After waiting for a while, Luo Meng pushed the door out, opened his mouth and said with concern: "Are you hungry, I asked the kitchen to keep a meal, and then I will accompany you to eat." ”

Yao Yan shook his head, "I'll go out for a walk, big brother, you're busy with you." ”

Luo Meng hesitated for a moment, but after all, it was nothing, but he just persuaded: "What are you going out to do when it's all dark, either I'll accompany you, or just wait for tomorrow." ”

Yao Xi couldn't wait for tomorrow, but he didn't want to be accompanied by Luo Meng, so he was awkward and pleaded: "I'll go to Xinfu to have a look, it's not far from here, there are no wicked people on the official road, eldest brother relax, I'll be back soon." ”

Luo Meng wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, and just smiled and advised: "Come back early, don't delay too long." ”

Yao Yan sighed, while there was still a little bright color, the lantern did not go out directly, there were two guards at the door, it was Xin Xiran who left it for her to use, and she called a person to accompany her.

The distance between Zhigezhai and Xinfu is not very far, only a moment of kung fu and the two of them arrived at the door of Xinfu, the gate has not been closed, there are four guards standing on the left and right at the door, holding weapons with a cold face, it is not easy to speak at a glance.

The gate of Xin's Mansion is actually not easy to enter, and Yao Shi also knows this relationship, which is why she brought the guard, turned to the guard behind her and said, "You go to communicate with the guard at the door, and say that I have something important to ask to see Young Master Xin." ”

The guards hurriedly responded, trotted forward and said to the four guards at the door: "I am from Zhigezhai, and the distinguished guests inside want to see the young master, and I bother a few brothers to go in and report it." ”

Zhigezhai is the Xin family's other courtyard, and the idlers can't live in, and the gatekeeper doesn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly goes in to report, and he didn't wait long, and he saw Xin Xiran trotting out, and he was very excited to see Yao Xi, "Why did Sister Yao come to me in person, is there anything difficult?"

"Indeed, there is a difficult thing to ask for. Yao Yan smiled and glanced at the guard guarding next to him, and the man immediately understood and retreated.

Xin Xiran was very happy to see Yao Xi asking for him, and asked: "What's the matter, as long as you say it, there is nothing I can't do." ”

Yao Yan couldn't help but choke him, "If I want the moon on the horizon, can you take it down?"

"I'd rather you ask me for the moon on the horizon, but you're not a petty person. Xin Xiran smiled.

Yao Yan beckoned him to come closer, and whispered, "I want you to help me find out where Lei Zhibiao lives now?"

"Lei Zhibiao?" Xin Xiran didn't react at first glance, and after recalling it for a long time, he remembered that he was the son of the county master who was beaten by himself in Yuezhou.

His face sank: "But that guy is in trouble with you? This thing that is so good to die that he really beat him lightly that day, how do you want to clean him up, tell me, I promise that the grandson will never dare to appear in front of you in the future." ”

Yao Xi hurriedly stopped his conjecture, "He didn't provoke me, it's just that I have to ask him for 'help' ---- something, don't ask what the reason is, I will explain everything afterwards." ”

Xin Xi Dye still wanted to ask, and when she said this, she could only endure the curiosity in her heart and promise to give the news tomorrow.

After Yao Shi left, he sent someone to inquire overnight, and when he got the news, it was midnight, so he could only press it, and came to the door in person early the next morning, just in time to have breakfast in Zhigezhai.

Yao Xian didn't expect him to be so fast, now that he knew the location, he wouldn't delay, and after breakfast, he told Luo Meng that he wanted to go out.

Although she didn't ask much on her face, Yao Xi also knew that she was "suspicious" these days, but she didn't know where to explain, so she had to pretend not to know, thinking that it would not be too late when everything was done.

Xin Xiran had to go out with Yao Xi no matter what, and the dead skin was used as a reward for finding out the news, Yao Xi really couldn't resist him, and Lei Zhibiao's place of residence was far away from the city center, so he also nodded, but she asked Xin Xiran to bring Fushimi with her, saying that it was a useful place.

Because it was already winter, Xin Xiran was most afraid of the cold, so he made a special trip to put a stove in the carriage, Yao Xian's face was red, and the whole person didn't look as heavy as when he went out.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Xin Xiran could also see that Yao Yan must have encountered something big, he pondered for a moment before suddenly asking, "What are you thinking?"

Yao Shi chuckled: "I'm just thinking, instead of sitting and waiting, it's better to take the initiative and say it very well." ”

The carriage traveled for more than half an hour, and finally came to the inn where Lei Zhibiao lived, which was not as lively as the city center, and it was not yet noon, and there were few people in the inn.

Yao asked the shopkeeper to inquire about several gambling houses in the vicinity, and then went to find it next to Xin Xiran.

Even if there are few people, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack like this, Xin Xiran asked her uncertainly, "If you are not in the gambling house, then it will be in vain." ”

In other words, where is there such trouble, as long as he gives an order, no matter where Lei Zhibiao is, he can catch him.

"In Xiaxiang County, Lei Zhibiao likes gambling the most, and he is still Lei Zhibiao in another place, how can he be an exception. Yao Shi first went to the largest gambling house, described Lei Zhibiao's appearance to Fushimi, and asked him to go in to find someone.

Fushimi went for half an hour, and came out of the gambling house excitedly: "I really called the girl to say it, and the little one found the one surnamed Lei." ”

Yao Yan thanked him and said, "You have to help me find about ten beggars and take them to the street in front, and I will look for you when the time comes." ”

Fushimi looked at Xin Xiran, who nodded, and then he dared to do so, and hurriedly left to look for a beggar.

Xin Xiran stared at Yao Yan for a long time and asked, "Now wait for that guy to come out?"

Yao Xian didn't want Xin Xiran to be involved in this matter, and it wasn't that she didn't trust it, but Xin Xiran was the Xin family in the end, Xin Zhongqiao must be looking for someone to be a reverse poet in the city like Qiu Wanao at this time, it is better to let him not know than to let Xin Xiran know the truth and hide it from his father.

She thought for a while and persuaded: "According to my understanding of Lei Zhibiao, he will not leave the gate of the gambling house until it gets dark, I don't want to attract people's eyes, Young Master Xin's status is noble, it is better to go back first, I can wait here myself." ”

Xin Xiran was silent for a moment, and nodded very happily: "It just so happens that I also made an appointment with a friend, I will keep the carriage for you, and you will return to Zhigezhai as soon as you are done." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yao Xian's face was a little unbearable, Xin Xiran was also an understanding person, and he knew that he wanted to break him up, so he only hoped that the eldest young master wouldn't think about it too much.

She could only wave goodbye to Xin Xiran, and after he left, thinking that Lei Zhibiao would not come out for a while, she went to the street first.

Fushimi was very fast, and when Yao Yan arrived, there were already seven or eight children waiting, and he was also clever, knowing that this matter would attract the attention of others, so he deliberately found a small alley where no one was to settle the beggars.

Yao Shi nodded and said that it was enough, and said, "Your young master has already gone back first, and you will go back too, thank you this time." ”

Fushimi was flattered and said that it should be, and since Xin Xiran had left, there was no need for him to stay, so he left.
