Gu Xiangyi couldn't help but laugh softly after hearing this, and this laughter fell into Meng Shaoyuan's ears, which was an extremely harsh ridicule.

Being under such a thin scholar like this, he really couldn't bear it.

"The surname is Ji, don't be embarrassed! I'm just acting with you, what are you proud of!" Meng Shaoyuan looked around in the center of the crowd, pointed to the people who were watching the excitement and said, "If anyone dares to spread this matter today, I will cut off their tongues!"

Listen, this is like the words of a man, and the Son of Heaven is afraid of the words of men, but he is the son of a courtier, and he is so intimidating to the people.

Besides, he didn't know who was watching the excitement today, and he could still go door-to-door to catch all the people who were watching the excitement and cut out their tongues? Not to mention whether he could do it, the emperor was afraid that the person who cherished his reputation so much would immediately dispose of him.

Regarding the character of today's saint, Gu Xiangyi couldn't know better.

All good things are done by him, and all bad things are done by others, for his own benefit or good reputation, he can kill the concubines who have accompanied him for many years, and he can kill the courtiers who are loyal to him.

The people gradually dispersed, and Ji Tang also turned to leave, and the corners of his robe were just like when Gu Xiangyi and he first met in the Ji family.

A bare hand in the carriage lifted some curtains, and after seeing that Meng Shaoyuan was gone, the sobbing sound completely broke out, which showed how much self-blame and panic she had.

If Ji Tang really has three strengths and two weaknesses because of her, this girl is afraid that she will not forgive herself.

"Don't be afraid. Gu Xiangyi said softly: "Meng Shaoyuan is gone, you can go home." If you're afraid, I'll send you home. ”

Home, where does she have a home? That He family is like a demon cave that swallows people to her. If his father knew that Helan Xi was stopped by Meng Shaoyuan on the street, he was afraid that he would tie her up and send her to Meng's house to make amends.

After experiencing such a thing, Helan Xi felt gloomy about her future, and her crying was even more miserable.

Her maid also wiped her tears on the side and persuaded: "The girl beware of crying in her throat, the old lady is still waiting for the girl, her old man is not in good health, and she should be even more sad to see you like this." ”

Hearing this, Helan Xi wiped her tears, looked at Gu Xiangyi and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, but it's a pity that I'm so timid, I can't thank him in person for the person who spoke for me, if I meet the two again in the future, Lan Xi will definitely thank you." ”

The maroon horse seemed to be a little old, and it walked much slower than the other horses, and it looked a little desolate.

Gu Xiangyi thought that this was just an episode, but he didn't know that he would have deeper contact with these people in the future.

After the second gate and hurriedly returned to Heyinju, Gu Xiangyi put down the things he bought back, and sat at the table a little melancholy.

The capital is not big, but it is not small, it is not small to say that it is all over the place, and it is the son and girl of whom's family who it is, Ning Chu is a native of the capital, and there must be a lot of people who know and understand, even if it becomes Gu Xiangyi, some of the friendships in the past cannot be let go.

Ji Tang has a friendship with her, if she really gets into trouble because of the unevenness of the road, then she must reach out to help.

The fewer people who know about rebirth, the better, she can't guarantee that the people who know about this matter will have a solid mouth, if it leaks out, she will be in a situation where she will never recover, and it will be enough to die again, the important thing is that the revenge of more than 100 members of the Ning family has not been avenged, and she can't use this matter as a bet.

So about rebirth, Ji Tang still doesn't want to know.

In the evening, the kitchen brought the dish stir-fried celery, and there was no meat at all, but the celery was very fresh.

In the face of such a meal, Gu Xiangyi didn't even want to lift the chopsticks, but felt tasteless, like chewing wax.

"But in two and a half days, those people were all in their original form and fooled me with this kind of thing. Gu Xiangyi put down her chopsticks and sighed silently.

What's the point of working with the kitchen all day because of the food and rice?

Fortunately, in the middle of the night, Xiao Jingyao and Jiang Yan both jumped into the courtyard wall and brought a lot of food to the master and servant.

The snow-white fish is fried until it is slightly charred and golden brown, and it does not taste fishy at all. The red stewed roe deer meat with rock sugar is full of fresh and fragrant, there are six kinds of wind-pickled side dishes, and the amount of honey-roasted mutton and jade shrimp balls is not much, but the dishes are very exquisite, which can be seen to be the craftsmanship of Hongyunlou.

Pomegranate is really stained with the girl's light, seeing these dishes that I can't think of on weekdays, my saliva gurgles and swallows.

"Eat it, know you want to eat. Gu Xiangyi smiled and handed her the chopsticks.

Pomegranate smiled and took the chopsticks embarrassedly: "Thank you, girl! ”

"The kitchen in the house is used to fooling us, and I will let you eat well every day in the future. Gu Xiangyi turned his head to look at Jiang Shi and asked, "Have you eaten Xiao Shi?"

Jiang Yan nodded: "Brother Xiao and I came over after eating in Hongyun Building, sister, you eat." ”

Looking at Xiao Jingyao, Gu Xiangyi's thoughts were a little complicated.

Xiao Jingyao is a good person at the moment, that is for sure, Mo Hanxiang is such a secret thing, if he doesn't trust him very much, he won't tell Jiang Yan, but he is not the Ning family after all, and he can't empathize with the fall of the Ning family, who knows how he will act in the future?

Maybe he will always take care of Jiang Yan like this, keep Gu Xiangyi's secret, or help Gu Xiangyi avenge the Ning family, but if he really pokes these out one day, for Gu Xiangyi, it will be a desperate situation of standing in front of the abyss and not looking back.

Feeling Gu Xiangyi's eyes, Xiao Jingyao's expression paused, and he smiled at her lightly.

"Young Master Xiao. ”

"Just call me Jingyao. ”

Gu Xiangyi smiled: "Okay." I don't know if I can ask you to do me a favor. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Gu Xiangyi still spoke, after all, there are no available people under her now, and there are many things she wants to do but can't do it, and she can't inquire if she wants to. Since Xiao Jingyao said that he could let Mo Hanxiang help him, then he borrowed Mo Hanxiang to help him check some things.

"I wonder if you can help me look up something. ”

Xiao Jingyao was stunned for a moment.

He thought that Gu Xiangyi would let his people kill people, and he thought it would be a big deal, so he didn't admit that he just inquired about something.

Gu Xiangyi continued: "Ge Yao, who took my father's life, has been killed by me with my own hands, but according to what you said, in addition to Ge Yao, Meng Fanlin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and an attendant by the emperor's side, who surrounded and suppressed the Ning family that day, right?"

"Yes, I was not far away at the time, and a lot of people under my command came, but unfortunately it was a step late, the fire was too big, many people were hit by arrows and could not escape, and we didn't have the confidence to fight with the forbidden army to save people at that time. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyao's eyes were a little dim, as if he was blaming himself for failing to save the Ning family.

"No, you still have Xiao Yan with you when you save him, this is to repay our Ning family. Gu Xiangyi smiled and said: "Ge Yu didn't have to die well, and I naturally can't let go of the others, but it is obviously unrealistic to kill Meng Fanlin now, so I plan to start with his son first." ”

Xiao Jingyao asked, "Do you want me to check the places that Meng Shaoyuan often goes to and the people he comes into contact with?"

It's very comforting to talk to smart people. Pomegranate looked at this side and then there, I don't know where the tacit understanding between Xiao Gongzi and his own girl came from.

"Yes, find out what has to do with him, so that I can take the next step. ”

"I understand. Xiao Jingyao paused and said: "Actually, you don't have to do it, it's very simple for my people to move Meng Shaoyuan, and Meng Fanlin is not without leaks, he will always avenge General Ning." ”

How could Gu Xiangyi not hear the concern in his words? He was worried that he would avenge his family, and then fold himself in. But many things are not done by blindly asking others: "I will do this kind of thing myself, and if there is something wrong with it in the future, I will trouble you." ”

Meng Shaoyuan is a well-known gentleman in the capital, and he is either eating and drinking funny, or prostitutes doing evil on weekdays, and there are not many places he frequents, nothing more than Willow Street Flower Lane or a painting boat cruise, or a restaurant and teahouse.

Mo Hanxiang's people were all over the capital, and it was easy to find out Meng Shaoyuan's whereabouts.

Two days later, Xiao Jingyao came to Heyinju alone and informed Gu Xiangyi of Meng Shaoyuan's whereabouts recently.

There are two alleys next to the Mengliu River, it is the famous rouge alley in the capital, and the Mengliu River is the painting boat cruise ship is innumerable, the one on it is full of prostitutes, every day when the sun sets, it is the time when the prostitutes accept the favor and make money by laughing.

Meng Shaoyuan is a frequent visitor on the Mengliu River, whether it is a three-story painting boat or a single boat, there is nothing he has not been to, in the past, he either rested in Rouge Alley or stayed on the boat.

Hearing this, Gu Xiangyi laughed mockingly, and said in a low voice: "This kind of scum is clean even if it is dead." ”

"Are you trying to kill him?" asked Xiao Jingyao.

"Naturally, he has to be killed, otherwise I don't know how many girls will be bullied by him. Gu Xiangyi took the dagger and looked at it carefully, and the dagger blade glowed with cold light under the candlelight: "He Lao Tzu led people to kill my Ning family, and if I go to kill him, he won't lose anything." The important thing is to lure out his father by killing him, and that's what I'm going to do. ”

Pomegranate listened as if she didn't understand, and only felt a heartbeat.

She had heard of the names and surnames of the two of them, and in her heart they were all big people far away in the sky, which she could never touch in her life, but her own girl opened her mouth to take their lives, and her expression was calm as if she was choosing which hen to eat for dinner.

"In that case, I'll check it out for you, so that there won't be any accidents. Xiao Jingyao didn't plan to persuade her, just protect her on that day: "When the time is right to do it, I will come to inform you." ”

"Thank you. After thinking about it, Gu Xiangyi still instructed: "Don't tell Xiao Yan about this, I'm afraid he will be worried." ”

Xiao Jingyao, who was about to go out, heard this, turned his head slightly, and faced his black and white eyes like clear water, and his heart jumped.

Why wouldn't he be worried?
