Pick up the star building.

Ah Xiao stood on the porch, waiting for Qin Youxi to come back, and when she saw Qin Youxi's figure from a distance, she finally screamed in surprise.

"Girl!"

Qin Youxi approached, but the expression on Ah Xiao's face was stunned.

"Girl?"

Qin Youxi still had a bewitching smile on her face, but there were many, many things hidden in her eyes, which were so heavy that they were about to overwhelm her.

She floated past Ah Xiao like a ghost, went upstairs, and smiled softly: "It's not early, you go and prepare fragrant soup for me, I want to bathe." ”

“……”

Ah Xiao opened her mouth and didn't speak.

Standing downstairs, she looked up.

Qin Youxi walked higher step by step, and soon arrived at the door of the special room upstairs.

Aunt Jin's figure was reflected in the window.

Qin Youxi stood for a while and knocked on the door three times.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Come in."

"Squeak."

Qin Youxi pushed the door in, turned around and closed the door.

Ah Xiao saw that her face, at the moment of closing the door, was extremely beautiful.

For some reason, the panic in Ah Xiao's heart became even worse.

Aunt Jin......

Aunt Jin is the owner of the Star Picking Tower, but I heard that she had been sent in the palace before.

Aunt Jin can draw a good makeup, and no matter how ugly a woman is, she will become captivating under her skillful hands.

She seems to know a woman's every word.

But as the owner of the Star Picking Tower, she was indifferent to the Star Picking Tower, only that time......

That time, Qin Youxi's throat was broken, Xie Fu found Aunt Jin and talked to Aunt Jin, and Aunt Jin took action and taught Qin Youxi in person.

So, the girl who relied on her voice changed suddenly.

Who is Aunt Jin?

Nobody knows.

But Ah Xiao remembered that once, when she looked at Xie Fu's plain face, she was extremely puzzled, and she didn't know which one was suddenly bold, so she actually asked Aunt Jin: A person like Miss Xie Er is born with a natural national color and fragrance, but half of the powder is not touched, and it looks a little dull after all, isn't it a pity? Why don't you put makeup on the second girl?

Aunt Jin stood in front of the mirror platform for a long time, and did not speak for a long time.

Ah Xiao thought that she would not be able to speak.

Just as she was about to leave, the candle flame standing next to her suddenly flickered.

Aunt Jin opened her mouth.

That sentence has been remembered by Ah Xiao to the present.

Aunt Jin said, how dare I?

Why don't you put makeup on the second girl?

How dare I?

Ah Xiao never understood.

But she knew that the relationship between Aunt Jin and Second Miss Xie didn't seem to be so simple.

She forgot for a long time in a daze, and saw Qin Youxi's shadow appear on that window, estimating that her girl should take a while to come out, she finally sighed and turned around to prepare fragrant soup for Qin Youxi.

on the streets.

The sedan chair in Gaofu walked on the road unhurriedly, and Huo Xiaonan walked on the left side of the sedan chair: "Girl, I drank tea on this trip, it's too boring, right?" Why don't we listen to the play? ”

"Are there any interesting troupes in the capital?"

Listening to Huo Xiaonan, Xie Fu was slightly moved and asked.

Huo Xiaonan crossed his fingers and said to Xie Fushu: "Some time ago, Deyun's class just entered Beijing, and some time ago the garden sang Kunshan dialect, yo, that tone, don't you know, Xiaonan, I passed by outside the courtyard wall, and I was shocked." However, if you want to say that the play is good, you have to watch the new rehearsal of Yangliuban's "Moon Worship Pavilion" some time ago......"

"I'm tired of watching it."

When the full moon heard the words "Moon Worship Pavilion", she shook her eyes disdainfully.

“……”

Huo Xiaonan couldn't go on, and squinted at the past: "You can bear it, I won't say it, don't go and see it!" ”

"Hey! You-"

The full moon boss is unhappy, why does this person always raise the bar with himself!

Xie Fu, who was sitting in the sedan chair, listened to the voices coming from both sides, and only felt that one head was bigger than two.

"Don't make any noise, why don't you just go to a play?"

As soon as Xie Fu's words fell, there was a commotion outside.

There were people coming and going on the long street, and an old man in tattered clothes was running in front of him, followed not far by a group of fast catchers, stepping on soap boots, walking fast, and shouting while running: "Stop!" ”

The old man heard the sound and ran faster.

It's just that there is a kind of trepidation on his face.

After all, he is already old, his beard is nearly 100, and his steps are staggering, how can he escape the pursuit of fast catch?

A look of despair began to appear on his face.

In front of Xie Fu's sedan chair was Xie Fu, and several sedan chair drivers from Gaofu saw that it seemed that the capital's arrester was arresting people in front of him, and they all hurriedly stopped.

Huo Xiaonan shouted: "Get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair, get off the sedan chair quickly!" ”

These people collided, who knows if they will break through and hurt their own girl.

Huo Xiaonan cautiously stood in front.

At this time, the little old man had already run to the front, and the moment he saw Xie Fu's sedan chair, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and then he saw the waist plate on the waist of one of the sedan chair drivers.

The little old man is illiterate, but he once heard someone say that this is the sedan chair man of the Gao Mansion, who carried the sedan chair for the university scholar Gao!

He didn't know what kind of official Master Gao was, but he had heard people say that even the emperor listened to him!

Xiao Lao'er didn't think about it, ran up, knelt on the ground with a "poof", kowtowed to the ground with a "bang", let go of the broken gong and shouted: "The tall man is the master of the villain, the villain is wronged!" ”

The palanquin drivers who had just fallen off the sedan chair were stunned, Huo Xiaonan's mouth opened wide, and the full moon almost felt that he was dreaming.

Xie Fu in the sedan chair couldn't see the outside situation, but was just thinking: Did he just come back from a sedan chair with a high arch?

Of course, the sedan chair with a high arch did not come back, but this little old man just mistook Xie Fu's sedan chair and thought it was a high arch.

It's just that when he shouted out like this, the whole street fell silent.

Tall man?

The big guys looked around, and then they all looked at the small sedan chair in the middle of the road.

The official of the imperial court, how to say it, should also be an eight-carrying sedan chair, right?

This small sedan chair doesn't seem to be a high arch, right?

In the silence of looking at each other, there was only the sound of the old man constantly kowtowing and crying and shouting grievances, and ......

Footsteps.

Dense footsteps.

Because Xiao Lao'er stopped the sedan chair and shouted grievances, the people around him had already surrounded him, and a group of catchers chasing after him had to quickly break away from the crowd.

"Get out of the way, the yamen will handle the case, get out of the way quickly!"

Soon, the crowd parted into a gap, and a dozen or so catchers, led by a catcher, quickly came over.

The old man was still kowtowing, and blood could already be seen on his forehead.

The head catcher who pressed the knife looked angry, and walked over in three or two steps: "What an old thief, you keep running!" ”

The little old man glanced back and trembled: "Master Guancha, I really didn't steal it, I didn't steal it!" ”

"I waited for the kindness to go to your house to handle the case, but you even dared to steal our things! Not you? Who else could you have? Can a third person come out?! ”

The head catcher didn't look very old, but his face was gloomy, and he had a strange ferocity of his own.

There was a deep scar on the back of his hand holding the knife down, and the bruises were exposed.

When Huo Xiaonan saw it, he already recognized who this person was, and quietly leaned over to the curtain of the sedan chair and said something.

Xie Fu sat inside and heard it, nodding slightly.

Outside, the little old man faced the angry gaze of the headcatcher, aggressively questioned, and his tongue was knotted for a while, and he didn't know how to explain, so he just spoke vigorously.

"I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it......"

The sad look on his face became heavier, and his face was wrinkled, and he could see that the life was not very good.

One, an ordinary ordinary person in the capital.

The people around him have already started pointing fingers.

The ins and outs of the matter are already clear in the conversation between Fang Cai and the old man.

The old man's house was stolen by thieves, so he went to the yamen to report the case.

After several arresters from the Yamen who investigated the case took over the case, they went to check on the situation in the little old man's home. Unexpectedly, when the catchers were about to leave, they touched the money bag on their waists, and it was gone!

The little old man was flustered and suspicious, and the catchers doubted who he suspected?

The head catcher immediately said that he wanted to investigate him and take him to the official mansion.

The punishment in the government is harsh, where does he dare to go?

Without thinking about it, the little old man hurriedly ran away.

As soon as the headhunters saw him running, they immediately followed him.

Unexpectedly, he ran over this way and bumped into Xie Fu.

The catchers are not so blind, thinking that the one in front of them is a tall beard.

Besides, the yamen handled the case, even if the bearded man was here, there was no reason to stop them.

The catcher lifted his hand, revealing a hideous scar on the back of his hand.

"Hurry up and arrest me and bring it back to the yamen for interrogation!"

"Yes!"

The catchers behind him shouted together, and they were about to come up and reach out to grab the little old man's shoulder.

The horror on the little old man's face became even stronger: "It's not me, it's not me!" How could Xiao Lao'er do such a thing...... Bad master! ”

"Wait."

At the moment when the catchers had already twisted the little old man's shoulder, an elongated voice suddenly appeared.

The voice is so laid-back that it gives the illusion that it's too lazy, isn't it?

The head catcher didn't expect that someone would dare to stop him in handling the case, and when he looked over the voice, he saw that next to the small sedan chair that had not attracted his attention at all, there was a tall young man standing with a smile on his face, looking at them.

"You're telling us to slow down?"

The head catcher squinted slightly.

In the territory of the capital, who doesn't know his ability to "Liu Yidao"?

Anyone dares to seek death?

Huo Xiaonan stood up with a smile and arched his hand at the head catcher: "Liu Zhutou, I have admired the name for a long time." This time, it's not that the villain told you to slow down, it's my young lady's instructions. ”

"Oh? You know my surname is Liu. ”

Liu Zhutou sneered.

The two catchers standing in the field were stunned, as if they didn't understand what to do, and as soon as their hands were loosened, the little old man climbed directly to the front of the sedan chair.

"Thank you Lord Gao for calling the shots, thank you Lord Gao for calling the shots, great kindness, little old man will be difficult to repay for the rest of his life!"

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed again.

Huo Xiaonan sighed helplessly, what kind of person is this.

Didn't you hear yourself say "Miss" just now?

Alas.

Huo Xiaonan forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, raised his head, and met the sharp gaze of Liu Zhutou on the opposite side.

What about these people in the yamen?

In the past, Huo Xiaonan must have been like his grandson, but now it is different.

He said leisurely: "Who doesn't know the name of Liu Zhutou? The murderer of the fifteen serial murders in Zhaojiazhuang is Liu Zhutou, who has been hunted down for four years of hard work, and after all the hardships, he almost lost half of his palm. Who is not praised by the people of the capital? ”

Liu Yidao, what is his real name, it is estimated that no one remembers, but everyone remembers that he was almost cut off half of his palm by the murderer.

After chasing the murderer that time, Liu Yidao left a hideous scar on the back of his hand.

From then on, the people called him "Liu Yidao", and as for the ruffians under the water, they had to respectfully call him "Dao Ye" when they met.

Huo Xiaonan used to roll in the market, how could he not have heard of Liu Yidao's name?

This man is not much older than himself, but his temper is first-class.

Not to mention, if this person wants to make trouble with his own lady on the street, he may not be able to get off the stage.

Huo Xiaonan thought of this stubble, and he still had a headache.

Full Moon looked at this scene and was stunned for a long time, and then stiffly twisted his neck to look at the sedan chair.

There was no movement in the sedan chair.

Full Moon chuckled in her heart: It's over, Miss must have moved her mind.

Yes, last month's good deeds have already been done.

Today's fresh shouting on the street has not happened yet.

How could Xie Fu not seize the opportunity?

What's more, although Liu Yidao is a cheap head catcher, his ability is really not small, and it is a bit interesting.

Huo Xiaonan's words paved Liu Yidao's greatest credit, undoubtedly carrying him and giving him face.

Unexpectedly, this head catcher didn't appreciate it at all, and only looked coldly at the little old man who was shrinking in front of the sedan chair.

"It's useless for you to praise me. This old man is suspicious, and I must take him away. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and sent someone forward again.

The light in the sedan chair was a little dim, and the expression on Xie Fu's face was also a little dim.

The fingers of her left hand tapped lightly on the back of her right hand, right on the bone of her middle finger, as if she could hear a sound.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Fu didn't go out, sat in the sedan chair and said, "Xiao Nan." ”

As soon as this voice came out, the catchers who were about to arrest people stood up and did not dare to rush out.

Everyone can see that this little guy is not afraid of them at all.

Look at it again, although this sedan chair is simple, but the sedan chair bearers are indeed the descendants of Gaofu, and the "Miss" in this sedan chair is only afraid that except for the second Miss Xie Er of Gaofu, I don't think about it as a second person.

The catchers glanced back, and Liu waved his hand, signaling that they could stop doing it for the time being.

Huo Xiaonan glanced at them and came to the side of the sedan chair.

"Xiao Nan is here, what does Miss command?"

The sedan curtain opened a corner, and a token of Gaofu was handed out.

The audience was silent, quiet.

Therefore, even if Xie Fu's voice is not loud, everyone can hear it clearly.

"This matter has nothing to do with my high mansion, so there is no need to meddle. But listening to this old man's crying, it doesn't seem like a lie. There are many cases of harsh torture and cruel officials in the yamen, and it is difficult for the old man to complain about his grievances in a panic. ”

Xie Fu paused, and he had already taken his hand back.

The token fell into Huo Xiaonan's hands.

Xie Fu continued: "Xiao Nan, you escort this old man to the Yamen with Liu Zhutou to listen to the trial, and then come back to explain the situation." If there is any grievance in the middle, you can just come back with the token and report it to your grandfather. ”

"Yes, miss, Xiao Nan understands."

Huo Xiaonan held the token, clenched his fists with both hands, and had already received his order.

He turned, a smile on his lips, and helped the old man to his knees, looking sluggish.

"Uncle, please get up, what my young lady said, you must have heard it. My young lady Bodhisattva has a heart, and she does a good deed every month, this time it is considered that you have luck. Xiao Nan, I will go with you, and I will follow Liu Zhutou to the lobby in a while, and please say any grievances you have directly. ”

The old man was stunned for a long time, with a pair of old eyes full of tears, and he almost knelt down for Huo Xiaonan again.

"Miss is really a bodhisattva, a bodhisattva!"

Huo Xiaonan listened, and secretly wiped his sweat: Good guy, I finally know that I am not a tall adult. It's rare, it's rare!

Thinking unreliably in his heart, Huo Xiaonan's face had already turned to Liu Zhutou.

"Liu Zhutou?"

Liu Yidao's gaze moved from the token in Huo Xiaonan's hand to his face, but what echoed in his mind was Xie Fu's words.

The curtain of the sedan chair was still pressed tightly, and it was dark inside, and it was impossible to see what kind of role the second girl Xie in the sedan chair was.

A woman from a Taoist family, although she didn't show her head, what is the difference between what she can do and showing up?

Liu Zhutou couldn't afford to provoke Gaofu, and he also knew that this second girl Xie had just sent someone to escort her, so she really couldn't do anything.

His face was slightly gloomy and he smiled coldly.

"Then let's go to the church."

With a wave of his hand, the catchers pressed their knives and surrounded the little old man and Huo Xiaonan in the middle.

Huo Xiaonan was not nervous at all, helped the little old man, and said, "Old man, you slow down." ”

The old man woke up like a dream, glanced at Liu Yidao with palpitations, and hurriedly followed the footsteps.

In this way, more than a dozen head catchers tightly surrounded the two people, Liu Yidao took one last look at the sedan chair, and also strode up.

Full Moon looked at the fierce and vicious appearance of the head-catcher, and couldn't help but bared his teeth at his back: "What kind of fierceness, dare to do this to our young lady!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Full Moon's face stiffened.

Because, Liu Yidao, who had just walked out a few steps, actually stopped, as if he heard this complaint, turned his head and glanced at her.

The scar on the back of his hand was extremely ugly, and his face looked rather gloomy at the moment, just a cold glance.

The full moon shivered violently.

When she looked at it again, Liu Yidao had already turned around and left.

Looking at the back, the full moon actually gave birth to a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and patted his chest: "Really, what are you doing so scary!" ”

Xie Fu in the sedan chair couldn't help but smile when he heard the full moon's complaints.

I didn't see what was going on, but I could guess if I thought about it.

"Let's go."

"Yes." Full Moon replied sullenly, "Get up the sedan chair." ”

The palanquin drivers lifted the palanquin again, and the onlookers got out of the way, but the sound of discussion spread far away.

"The second girl is such a good person."

"Yes, a true bodhisattva's heart."

"That old man lives in a dilapidated house in the west of the city, I remember that he is not a bad person, and he must not have done it because he has been robbed in the past few days......"

"Liu Yidao is too, he is a good hand at catching and killing people, but how can these trivial things find him? It's really ...... in the yamen."

“……”

People talked in groups, but after a while they dispersed.

In a small alley very close, a young man who was so dirty that he couldn't see the color of his clothes finally retracted his head.

"Gaofu? Miss? ”

The gold-plated rush grass in his mouth was taken off by him with one hand and pinched between his fingers.

A pair of dark eyes became shining.

If there are local people in Yancheng here, they will definitely be able to recognize it: this is the villain Pei Chengrang!

Pei Chengrang worked hard all the way to the capital, hungry and cold, and had no way to lead, so he finally got into the place where people gathered in the west of the city, so he easily exerted some of his small skills, stole a lot of things, and was stunned that no one found out.

It's the same today......

Pei Chengrang thought about it, stretched out his hand, and a rich money bag embroidered with bamboo leaf patterns lay quietly in his palm.

"Whoa......

Reaching out and soaking it like this, the weight is not light.

Pei Chengrang remembered Fang Cai's battle to catch people quickly, and then thought about the scar on the back of the man's hand, and couldn't help but shrink his neck: "Good girl, Lao Tzu shouldn't have caused a big disaster, right?" ”

And that lady from Gaofu, is it related to what he heard at the city gate?

Hey, no matter.

The sky and the earth are big, and Lao Tzu's belly is the biggest.

Pei Chengrang shook his head and didn't think about it, turned around and left directly from the dark alley.

Xie Fu's sedan chair man's footsteps were not slow, and he soon returned to Gaofu.

The full moon helped her get out of the sedan chair, and Xia Ming's family hurriedly ran over with a smile on her face, but it was very unnatural.

"Miss is back, the lord commanded, if you come back, go to the front hall quickly. Master Xie is already over there! ”

The footsteps that had just taken out suddenly stopped, Xie Fu raised his head and looked at Xia Ming's family fixedly.

"Lord Xie?"

Xie Zongming, her father?
