The sun was dusk, and a thin layer of light shone down through the clouds, enveloping everything in the Xiyan Pavilion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It had rained in the morning, and the flowers had been covered with a layer of mist, and everything was so quiet and beautiful, as if all the previous bad had not happened.

Xia Nan squatted in front of the begonia flowers, and the pink of the flowers was imprinted under her eyes, like sparkling pink diamonds.

Mrs. Xun said that she knew everything about her.

Mrs. Xun said that she was the best person to practice magic, and that she had talent.

Mrs. Xun also said that she was in a difficult situation now, and if she became a respected sorcerer, then everything that had been before would not be true, including her identity as a scourge.

But how could Xia Nan not understand, she was in September this year, and it was only less than half a year away from now, how could she learn the magic in this short period of time, let alone let the world trust her.

Xia Nan leaned over, a touch of confusion crossed her jade white face, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke her neck, the weight of her neck lay there peacefully, and some of the closest contact with her heart.

"Mother, what should I do now?"

"Sister, that son is here again!"

There was a shocking sound outside, and then Ah Heng appeared in front of her in a gray shirt.

Xia Weihou's Mansion is now heavily guarded, and Xia Nan doesn't know how he got in.

"I've seen the old lady, in the future, I will be your person, and the Hou Mansion will naturally come in." As if sensing Xia Nan's doubts, Ah Heng spoke.

"Mr. Tong is buried in the western suburbs, I have set up a tombstone for him, do you want to go and see him?"

When he said this, Ah Heng was very calm, calm...... It's like nothing happened.

"Okay."

Xia Nan brought some melons and fruits to eat, and got into the carriage prepared by Ah Heng.

There were some guards on the side of the carriage, which Xia Nan didn't recognize.

Ah Heng explained, "Make sure it's safe."

After saying these four words, he said no more.

Xia Nan looked at him, Ah Heng's eyes were closed, his long eyelashes drooped, but there was a lingering faint sadness on the delicate jade noodles, there was a faint dark blue in his eyes, Xu was too tired recently, and he actually fell asleep in the carriage.

But he slept very lightly, and the carriage only jolted a little before he woke up.

The place where Mr. Tong was buried was in the western suburbs arranged by the Ji family before, which was really clean, densely wooded, quiet and elegant.

Ah Heng erected a stone tablet for Mr. Tong, on which was Mr. Tong's name was resolutely displayed.

Both of them were extremely calm at the moment, and after setting up the melons and fruits, they knelt down.

Ah Heng was the first to speak, but he said it to Xia Nan.

"You know what? When Mr. Tong died, I didn't even have a way to find his body, I could only be in his yard at that time, secretly paying tribute to him, I originally looked down on you, I looked down on you people who would only use power to suppress people, but later, I still had to rely on you to let Mr. Tong settle down. ”

Xia Nan looked at the tombstone, his eyes a little gloomy.

"Actually, it's more that I rely on you."

Xia Nan said this calmly and burned the paper money.

The sun was just right, and occasionally a few traces of suspicion through the branches fell on Xia Nan's face, which made her face as white as jade, and Ah Heng looked at her deeply.

Silent.

The two silently burned the paper money, and after paying tribute to Mr. Tong, they wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion.

The carriage left the western suburbs, Xia Nan lifted the curtain and poked his head out, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

The figure, dressed in a green shirt and with a warm face, was getting into a carriage and passing by them.

The man obviously didn't see Xia Nan.

Xia Nan lowered the curtain and looked at Ah Heng.

"Why did the people of the Jiang family appear here?"

This is the western suburbs, which are the most desolate places in Kyoto, and the people who live here are not wealthy.

The Jiang family is attached to the king of Ming, and the money and power are together, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that they live here.

Seeing this, the corners of Ah Heng's lips hooked up with a touch of mockery.

"The Jiang family has always been dominant in Huainan, and now they are attached to the King of Ming, and they are even more fearless, so why is it difficult to find a place to live casually?"

"But that's not right, I remember that the Jiang family has a house in the capital, which is closer to the Ming Palace, why did Jiang Ze come here?"

After Xia Nan finished speaking, he glanced at Ah Heng deeply, and his eyes deepened, "Mr. Tong's address is in the western suburbs, which is staggered by the road we came from just now. ”

"Keep up."

After Xia Nan finished speaking, Ah Heng ordered the coachman to turn around, and the carriage turned around and headed for Mr. Tong's address.

Ah Heng frowned, and glanced at Xia Nan, as if thinking about her words.

Xia Nan calmed down at the moment, her eyes were gloomy, looking out the window.

The road was not bustling, the vehicles could be counted on ten fingers, and the carriages were moving in an orderly manner.

This road was the way to Mr. Tong's house, and if her guess was correct, she should be able to see the Jiang family's carriage soon.

Ah Heng asked Xia Nan.

"I have some clues pointing to the Jiang family on hand, but the clues are too fragmentary, if they really all point to the Jiang family, eldest lady, can you find a way to get justice for Mr. Tong, or do you have the ability?"

Ah Heng spoke, his eyes looked deep into Xia Nan's eyes, as if he was hoping to get an answer.

His eyes were so dark and bright that the light in them seemed to suck her whole body in.

Xia Nan took a deep breath.

Mrs. Xun said that as long as she worships her as a teacher and learns the skills of a magician, she can gain the respect of others and have the ability to do what she wants.

"Yes."

Xia Nan said in a deep voice, her voice was cool and thorough, and her eyes became firm, as if she had made a decision.

Ah Heng looked at her and smiled at the end.

The smile was very shallow, but the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, but Xia Nan was a little surprised.

Soon, we arrived at Mr. Tong's home.

When the two got out of the car and saw the carriage listening to the courtyard gate, their faces changed slightly.

They were not afraid of anything, and walked in openly.

When the people inside saw them, they were astonished.

The man quickly adjusted his state, smiling lightly and gently.

"Fourth Prince Jiang."

Xia Nan was the first to speak.

She stared directly at Jiang Si, but saw that his face remained unchanged, and he still looked as light as a spring breeze.

"Miss Xia."

Jiang Si was only followed by a middle-aged man, who looked like he was about thirty or forty years old, with shrewd eyes and a little hostility looking at the two of them.

"Jiang Gongzi, I don't know why you are here?"

It was Ah Heng who asked this.

Jiang Ze saw Ah Heng asking, and his eyes were suspicious.

He had seen Ah Heng, he had been by Hu Hai's side for so many years, and he still had an impression of him, but now, he appeared next to Xia Nan, next to a person who would not have appeared.

Hearing this, Jiang Ze smiled lightly.

"It's just a stop-by, a visit to an old friend."

"I don't know where Jiang Gongzi is going, and which old friend is visiting here? This is where I live, but I don't think Jiang Gongzi knows me. ”

Ah Heng spoke out loud, quite aggressively.

Unexpectedly, he did not back down, and there was a moment of stagnation on Jiang Ze's face, and it instantly returned to the same as before.

"I'm here to visit Mr. Tong."

He continued.

"At that time in Huainan, I was fortunate to make friends with Mr. Tong, and Mr. Tong told me his address, if I came to the capital one day, I could visit him, I remember that this residence is Mr. Tong, why did this son say that it was yours?"

Jiang Ze said a few words, and then threw the topic on Ah Heng.

They couldn't directly tell the news that Mr. Tong was dead, even if the person in front of them was the one who killed Mr. Tong, they couldn't say it.

The bloody corpse case on the street is still horrific to everyone, and the cause of Mr. Tong's death has not yet been ascertained, and even his death is rarely known.

"Jiang Gongzi, this is indeed Mr. Tong's residence, but Ah Heng also lives here, and this is indeed the residence."

"I see."

"I don't know what Jiang Gongzi is looking for Mr. Tong, you might as well talk to Xia Nan, and I will tell Mr. Tong."

Jiang Ze hurriedly arched his hand.

He raised his hand, but Xia Nan's eyes fell on him.

Jiang Ze's fingers are not good-looking, his bones are quite wide, his palms are slightly large, his index finger, thumb and middle finger have obvious calluses, which are covered with a layer of ash at the moment, and the dust reflects its original appearance in the sun, flying long.

"It's just an old friend on the way, since Mr. Tong is not here, I will leave first."

After Jiang Ze finished speaking, he nodded to the two of them, and left the courtyard.

As soon as he left, Xia Nan immediately lowered his face.

She walked into the room, glanced around, walked to the bookcase, and looked at the books inside, her eyes slightly dull.

Ah Heng walked in at the same time, and his eyes followed Xia Nan to the bookcase, and he sank together.

"He moved."

This is the tone of the affirmative.

The bookcase had already accumulated a layer of dust before someone touched the books, and the dust was light, and a small piece of the books that had been covered with dust were wiped away.

"What is he looking for?"

Ah Heng asked, but Xia Nan did not say anything.

She suddenly remembered the last letter that Mr. Tong had given her, that is, the letter, which brought the news of his departure.

Xia Nan did not return to the Hou Mansion, but went to Dali Temple.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she was met by a person.

When the man saw her, his eyes were puzzled, but he still said politely.

"Miss Xia, we were just about to inform you that the assassin has confessed in full, and someone has paid them for the assassination against you, and this person is just a hired person."

Xia Nan listened to him quietly before speaking.

"I'm here to find Lord Yan."

Lord Yan?

Ah Xu was puzzled, Miss Xia did not come for the case, but for her own adult, this is an unprecedented deed.

Everyone was in a surging mood, but Ah Xu still said truthfully.

"Miss Xia, it's really unfortunate that you came, our adults took leave today to recuperate at home."

"Recuperate?"

Xia Nan frowned, he didn't expect to come to Dali Temple to find someone for the first time, and this is the result.

Rest...... She couldn't help but remember that night, when he had saved her from fighting several assassins alone.

"Yes, the adults have been recuperating for two days, and it was the order of the Taifu himself to let the adults recuperate at home, but I estimate that the adults will be back in these two days, if you are anxious, you can also talk to me first, after all, I ......"

"No need."

Xia Nan finished speaking and left.

Leaving Ah Xu, who was left out in the cold, stunned.

He hasn't finished talking yet, he is also the most powerful assistant by Lord Yan's side, and now he is acting on his orders, and he is the strongest under Lord Yan, so there is nothing that can't be found for him!

Ah Heng followed Xia Nan, but he didn't know what her meaning was.

Xia Nan couldn't find Yan Jue, and her heart was slightly confused.

It hadn't been two days since he came, and it happened to be the day he was assassinated, so could it be that he was seriously injured that day?

But she only saw the wound on her arm, and bandaged him......

…… She doesn't understand medicine and is poorly bandaged, isn't it because she is not well bandaged and infected the wound and is more seriously injured?

Xia Nan's heart jumped suddenly, and she hurriedly called Ah Heng.

"Go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion."

Ah Heng's face did not change, as he said, now that he has become Mr. Tong, whatever Xia Nan says, it is what it is.

When he arrived at the eldest princess's mansion, Ah Heng stayed in the side hall and waited, while Xia Nan went directly to Wenshuyuan.

The journey to Wenshuyuan was long, but fortunately, Xia Nan had a good memory, and he walked smoothly to Wenshuyuan.

When he entered, the tip of his nose was still filled with a scent of ink, and Xia Nan saw Mrs. Xun standing by the window at a glance, holding an inscription.

She silently walked behind her, waiting for her to finish.

Mrs. Xun writes very slowly, as if every word falls has its own special meaning, slow, but profound.

"Writing is like writing people, and what your person is, what kind of handwriting will be."

Mrs. Xun put the pen away, and her eyes fell on what she had written, but she didn't look at Xia Nan.

"Have you thought about it?"

She asked lightly, still with her back to Xia Nan.

"Well, I've figured it out."

After saying this, Mrs. Xun turned her head to look at her, but she didn't mention the matter of Fang Cai, but just said.

"If you want to learn magic, you must first purify your mind."

Purify the mind.

Xia Nan's most uncalm thing now is her heart.

"Art is a way, and even I have only scratched a fraction of it. But you know, just this little bit of a star can make me look down on countless people. ”

Mrs. Xun glanced at Xia Nan.

"Your mind is not calm enough now, when you finish solving the things around you, come to me again, if you don't settle down, even if you learn the spell, it will be useless."

Hearing this, Xia Nan couldn't help but be stunned.

Useless?

Xia Nan was about to speak, but she gagged her.

"During this time, you practice the words, and I want to teach you the technique to use the pen in your hand as the medium and the handwriting as the index, so practicing the words well is my first requirement for you."

"What is the qualification?"

Xia Nan asked.

Mrs. Xun turned her head and looked at her, with a smile in it.

"Three points into the wood."

Penetrating?

Xia Nan frowned, she remembered the words on the wooden plaque at the door, Qiao Rong said, that wooden plaque has been hanging there for decades, and now it is still intact.

After returning to Xiyan Pavilion, Xia Nan asked the maid below to buy pen, ink, paper, and inkstones for her, and began to practice.

She is powerless to solve Mr. Tong's case, and what she can do now is to strengthen herself, not to let others have the opportunity to hurt herself, and not to let the people around her fall into danger for her again.

As for the letter that Mr. Tong finally sent back, Xia Nan wanted to hand it over to Yan Jue in person, which was a major clue. (To be continued.) )
