Wu Zhizheng packed up the things at the scene and wanted to take them back, but Xu Suyao made a gesture of invitation and never said a word. ｛｝

The drunken wind building was sealed, and those pen, ink, paper, and inkstones were presented to the saint. And that group of killers, I heard that before they were imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, they were ordered by Wu Zhizheng to pull out their teeth one by one to prevent them from committing suicide.

All of this happened in just one hour.

Xu Siming and Xu Suyao sat in the carriage back to Xu's mansion, Xu Siming quietly looked at Xu Suyao's expression, and saw that she didn't seem to be stimulated, so he asked about what he was curious about: "Su Yao, what do you think of those killers?" ”

Xu Suyao shook her head, it seemed that everything was so natural, as if she really didn't know: "It's also our luck, you also know that in addition to the imperial court, there is also an organization called Jianghu, maybe some chivalrous people in Jianghu saved us." ”

"You don't really believe in the charlatans, do you?" Xu Siming raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I'd rather believe that it's because someone spent a lot of money to let this mission be carried out secretly!" ”

Xu Suyao was overjoyed, what a good reason and excuse!

She responded quietly: "What you say is reasonable, maybe it's really dark, besides them, who else has this ability, you know, those assassins, it's really miserable, as far as I can see, the tenth ** is someone who paid for the dark people to attack them!" ”

[1] [this read] novel xstxt Xu Siming's eyes darkened, and he was no longer entangled in this topic: "Do you really think that the person who poisoned Ye Lingqing?" I don't think he'd be so bold to commit this crime. ”

"Didn't Wu Sijie go to check, presumably there will be results soon, don't worry." Xu Suyao was a little absent-minded, she was thinking about discussing with Xiao Nanting for a while, so that the feasibility of secretly carrying this black cauldron would be.

Sensing Xu Suyao's distraction, Xu Siming was a little unhappy, and he raised his tone a little and said, "I heard that Lord Xu went to Xiangyang to pick up the old lady this morning?" I also heard that last night, someone actually went out of the city gate and went to Xiangyang? ”

At the mention of this, Xu Suyao had to put down her other thoughts, and said with a shy smile: "This, I'm not worried, you know, the old lady rarely goes back to the capital once, and I have offended a lot of people this time, not to mention the princess of Pingyang of the Shufu Society, it is those barbarian people before, a little further, the group of brainless people who follow Princess Wuyang, no matter who makes up their minds on the old lady, I can't stand it - the old lady is also old, and she can't stand the toss......"

Xu Siming was very dissatisfied with Xu Suyao's attitude of doing nothing wrong: "I didn't say that you couldn't go, but you should tell me what's wrong and let me go with you, right?" How can you go by yourself? What if it's a trap waiting for you to enter the urn? ”

Xu Suyao was unhappy: "Don't always treat me as a sister, you are a younger brother, besides, Shan Jian, Di Geng, and Steward Zhou are all with me, are you still not at ease?" ”

The two of you quarreled with me one by one, but forgot two or three points about the bloody things that happened in the drunken wind building.

When they arrived at Xu's mansion, Steward Zhou was waiting outside with Shan Jian, Di Geng and others, and they were relieved to see Xu Siming and Xu Suyao returning to the mansion safe and sound.

Steward Zhou greeted him: "Eldest son, your county lord, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing!" ”

Xu Suyao sneered: "What is not dead, don't we all come back safely!" Ay? Why are you back, could it be that the old lady has already been brought back? ”

Steward Zhou wiped away a handful of tears: "This matter is a long story. ”

The group walked to the house, and Steward Zhou explained the development of the matter: "As soon as the city gate opened this morning, the slave went to Xiangyang with the master, with twenty families, who knew that when he arrived in Xiangyang, the master called out a headache, and the slave thought that it was not far from the house in Xiangyang, and it was just right to go there to rest, who knew that he had just seen the gate of the house, and the master shouted to take off the red lantern, and the slave ordered someone to pick it up, but the master hurt even more. ”

The more Xu Suyao listened, the more frowning she became, could it be that there was another origin of that house? On his lips, he comforted Steward Zhou and said, "You did a good job." In addition to pain, does the lord have other problems? ”

Steward Zhou hurriedly said: "The slave arranged for the master to rest in the house, but the master began to have nightmares, the old lady was not at ease, and felt that the house was empty overnight, it was sneaky, and it was very unlucky, so she asked the slave to pack up his things and go back to the house immediately." Just ......"

Xu Suyao paused: "Just what?" ”

Xu Siming said with a smile: "It's just that I just returned home, but I heard that Prince An sent someone to spread the word, saying that your county lord and the eldest son encountered an assassin in the drunken wind building, and now life and death are uncertain, and they are just informed, and no one is allowed to take a look, and the old lady also fainted when she heard the news, right?" ”

Steward Zhou wiped the sweat that was already on his forehead: "Exactly, the eldest son is still looking at him like a torch and seeing everything!" ”

Xu Suyao sighed: "Where did the old lady live?" ”

"Casual hall. The old lady and the old man are now resting in the casual hall! The old man woke up, but the old lady was still unconscious. ”

The old man can't stand the stimulation, who knows if there will be a good one because of this?

Thinking that this might be the only person who had a relationship with the two of them, Xu Suyao and Xu Siming couldn't help but speed up their pace and walked towards the casual hall.

"Your county lord!" Steward Zhou shouted anxiously again, and when Xu Suyao and Xu Siming both stopped with unhappy faces, he continued embarrassedly, "The old lady and the old man have fainted, and no one has arranged this Li girl and the filial son so far." ”

Miss Li refers to the niece brought by the old lady, Xu Shili; Filial piety refers to the nephew brought by the old lady, Xu Zhixiao.

Hearing Steward Zhou mention these two people, Xu Suyao and Xu Siming were a little enthusiastic.

I heard Xu Suyao say: "I haven't seen this girl before, and now the arrangement is not appropriate, so the filial son should say something, let him live in Zhaicaotang, and pack up a side room and come out, I guess I don't mind." ”

Xu Siming followed the words: "Just listen to your county lord's arrangement." The old patriarch asked him to come and study with Master Xu, thinking about what he would do as an examiner, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., you can buy him a set according to my everything. ”

Steward Zhou breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied, and retreated with everyone.

Xu Suyao was curious, the housekeeper had been managing the affairs of the house for a day or two this week, and he still had to ask for advice on such a trivial matter? Why is that?

I thought about it, but my footsteps didn't stop there.

And they soon understood the reason for Steward Zhou's actions.
