―― Thank you for the love ^^ reward zongzi, the pink monthly ticket of the little soldier benben, Xiao Fei bows to everyone'(*∩_∩*)′――

Two days later.

At the end of the time, Kiyobakan.

In the small pavilion by the pond, the two sit cross-legged, and on the low table in the middle is an old chessboard, black and white.

A few days ago, after a drizzle, the dry lotus in the pond has been faintly green, and the tender green color spreads from the roots upwards, and it is more and more vibrant day by day.

"Yo ......" An old man's low voice came from the wooden pavilion, and then he said with a smile: "Jin Gongzi's chess skills are getting better, but my old man is stagnant, and if it continues like this, sooner or later I will lose all this old face......

That being said, but the old man's mood was clearly very pleasant.

On the opposite side, the young man wearing a frost-colored dark silver thread embroidered water-patterned brocade robe with high hair curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and his not very rich expression was a smile, and said: "Mr.'s heart is like water, and his chess skills have also reached a supreme realm - the younger generation can only be regarded as good at exploiting loopholes at best, and his knowledge is just luck, not chess." ”

Hearing this, Kong Fu shook his head with a disapproving smile, looked at the chessboard that had become a draw, and said slowly: "Isn't it just a loophole to outwit sometimes?" But if the son of Jin said that he was lucky, the old man did not agree, there was not enough foreshadowing and foundation in the early stage, and the blessing that fell from the sky could be called supreme luck. But Jin Gongzi planned step by step, and the trade-offs were clear, relying on the word wisdom. ”

Jin Qi looked at the chess game with a noncommittal expression, and just waited for words to speak, and then heard Kong Fu say: "Jin Gongzi has never been a person who is willing to trust luck and fate. ”

Jin Qi was slightly stunned.

Kong Fu then said: "Watching chess is a considerable person--from the time I played against Jin Gongzi several times, we can see that if Jin Gongzi is not absolutely sure of doing things, he will not make decisions lightly, which can be described as very cautious. ”

"Sir's discernment." Jin Qi rarely let go of the state of refusing to communicate in front of people.

"Prudence is an excellent quality...... "Comfo smiled meaningfully, reaching out and putting the sunspots into the chess bowl one by one.

A trace of doubt flashed in Jin Qi's eyes, and he silently watched Kong Fu's actions of retracting and releasing the chess pieces.

"Sometimes, however, when we are too cautious about something, people often call it ...... Timid. Confu's tone was careless, and the old man already had a natural sense of transparency and tranquility, which made people relax involuntarily.

Jin Qi only listened attentively, but still did not speak.

"Speaking of which, I've noticed something very new and interesting lately—" Confuge said as he looked up at Jin Qi with a look of interest, and the conversation suddenly changed.

"I wonder what Mr. said?" Jin Qi was not at all uncomfortable, and followed Confu's words and asked.

"I have found that the habit of 'prudence' turns out to be contagious by people-" Confuge said this, and seemed to be a little puzzled: "It is strange to say, you say that the reason why people become cautious is that there are two reasons, one is that they have suffered a lot of losses and have a long memory, and the other is that they have been nurtured by their ears since childhood, and they have developed the habit of being more careful in dealing with people at an early age--but you say, what is the reason for this human infection? ”

"Mr. refers to ......" knew that the old man in front of him was smart, and it was absolutely impossible to talk nonsense, so although Jin Qi felt that this was a bit absurd, he still asked very patiently.

"Jiang girl." Kong Fu said in a condensed voice.

At the end, he pointed at himself again, with a smug face, and emphasized: "My granddaughter! ”

Jin Qi: "......"

What do you want her to do?

This angry woman who doesn't pay for her life!

Thinking of the conversation two days ago, she brought her family to Liancheng to fight the lawsuit, and the young man suddenly felt in a bad mood.

"This girl used to be a daring girl—" Comford complimented.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

What does she call daring?

That's called nonsense!

Talking and doing things is a play, and the fickleness makes people unable to adapt to it!

It seems that Mr. Kong is really blinded by his own selfishness...... Because she was about to become the granddaughter of her own family, she began to clear her name regardless of the facts.

"But lately I've noticed that this girl is becoming more and more cautious." Mr. Kong's expression is not rich, sometimes puzzled, sometimes thoughtful, "But this girl is not a habit that she has cultivated since childhood, and she has not suffered any big losses recently......"

Jin Qi sneered in his heart.

A brainless woman like her, even if she suffers a big loss, she can't change her reckless nature.

"I thought about it, and finally I thought it was most likely that you were imperceptibly infected by Jin Gongzi—" Kong Fu looked at Jin Qi and said with a complicated expression.

Jin Qi: "......"

What's the matter with him?

Why is there a feeling that you are walking well on your own road, but you are suddenly dragged into the water by someone?

"Mr. Kong looks up to the younger generation too much, and the younger generation thinks that he doesn't have this ability to change his granddaughter's style of acting." Jin Qi's tone was quite calm, but his eyes were already clear.

Don't be funny!

Where does he have the ability to save her ever-changing style!

When Confuge heard this, he couldn't help but be happy.

Yo, how does this look awkward......

"Has Gongzi Jin seen my granddaughter in Liancheng?" Conver asked.

"The younger generation has recently been familiar with the environment of Kyoto with the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and when I took the Nancheng Terracotta Division to patrol the city two days ago, I happened to see Miss Jiang." Jin Qi tried to make his voice sound as inconsequential as possible, and be more nonchalant.

"Oh, that's a coincidence." Confer laughed again.

Jin Qi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable being laughed at by this old man.

There is a sense of oppression that has been dissected step by step!

This old man came to him today, he didn't come to talk about business at all, right?

The young man finally realized this crucial ......

"It's noon." Confer glanced up at the window.

It's a different topic again......

Jin Qi couldn't say what he wasn't satisfied with.

Don't you want to continue to discuss the issues about her?

Mr. Kong stared at the golden blazing sun outside the window, his eyes were very distant, and just when Jin Qi wondered if he had a sudden inspiration, and even wanted to write a poem for the occasion, he heard him say with a slow smile: "It's almost time for lunch." ”

Jin Qi: "............"

Suddenly he believed.

Thaksin's habits between people are really contagious!

It seems that Mr. Kong has been infected by the woman surnamed Jiang......

"I guess it's here......" Confer turned his head to look out.

When Jin Qi heard this, he subconsciously followed Mr. Kong's gaze, and saw Shi Qing, who was wearing a bamboo-blue loose Hangzhou silk shirt, walking towards here.

"Mr. invited someone else?" His eyelids jumped.

Thinking of Kong Fu's seemingly eastern, western, and western, Jin Qi had almost guessed it......

Sure enough, I saw that Kong Fu gave himself a tacit smile.

Jin Qi suddenly had a feeling of falling into a trap......

"Let's go...... Mr. Kong got up with a smile, straightened his robe, and walked out of the wooden pavilion.

Jin Qi could only keep up with a complicated expression.

"Master-Aunt Zhuang and Master Liang are here!" Dozens of paces away, Shi Qing shouted.

"All here?" Confer groaned for a moment.

Usually it's nothing, and it's lively when there are more people, but now he plans to guide these two children, and there are more people...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient to act.

Jin Qi frowned.

How did this man drag his family everywhere?

It's okay to go back to the capital to fight a lawsuit, and it's also okay to come over for a meal!

A person doesn't know the way out or what's going on?

When Jin Qi was silently slandering, he heard Shi Qing, who had come closer, say, "They came to find the girl—"

Since the matter of accepting Jiang Ying as a granddaughter was finalized from Kong Fu, in the past two days, Uncle Di and Shi Qing, as well as the servants of the Qingbo Pavilion have changed their names, saying that they can't shout Jiang Girl Jiang anymore, which seems too raw, but to call the girl, their own girl, so as to highlight the closeness of the relationship.

Although everyone is a little surprised by the old man who has never paid attention to details, they are still all

"Why, didn't you come along?" Confer heard something was wrong.

"Aunt Zhuang said that the girl came by carriage early this morning, because there was an urgent matter at home, Aunt Zhuang came to find someone, it stands to reason that the girl should have arrived early-" Shi Qing had already come to the front, and when she said these words, she was obviously a little uneasy, so she added: "But I stayed in the front yard all morning, and I didn't see the girl coming."

"Did you know I was there, so you didn't come?"

Kong Fu was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Jin Qi beside him say.

Shi Qingmu looked at Jin Qi in surprise.

Why does this sound so strange......

It's as if even I feel that I am disliked by others, is it really good to despise myself like this?

"No, it won't." Kong Fu frowned and shook his head and said, "I didn't tell her beforehand, and you are here today." ”

Shi Qing: "Master......"

Is that really okay!

Don't you really have to think about Jin Gongzi's feelings!

It's totally ...... Everyone agrees that Jin Gongzi is very disliked, is it good?

It really hurts my self-esteem.

However, as a party to the case, Jin Qi has no time to be distracted at this moment to think deeply about this hurtful issue.

For some reason, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Having said this, several people did not speak, and they did not dare to make any guesses at will, and after a while, Kong Fu only went to the front yard to see Zhuang and Liang Ping first.

The three of them immediately left the bamboo forest.

In the main hall of the front yard, Zhuang couldn't be quiet for a moment.

"Sister Ying'er is really not here, could it be that what was said in the letter is true......" Zhuang walked back and forth, anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, and said to himself angrily and anxiously: "I really don't know what kind of heart this person has!" Who are we offending here, what the hell are ......?"

Liang Ping, who was sitting on the side, was quite calm, and comforted him: "It's not too late to make a conclusion when I see Mr. Kong, it's too early to say this, maybe it's just a farce or misunderstanding." ”

Zhuang's still couldn't calm down, and Shi Qing told her that before Ah Ying arrived at the Qingbo Pavilion, she felt like she was being roasted on a blazing fire.

The more time passes, the harder it is to calm down.

"Mr. Kong is here...... Mr. Kong! Zhuang, who was always paying attention to the movement outside the hall, saw Kong Fu's figure and hurriedly greeted him.

When I got closer, I saw that there was not only Shi Qing coming with me, but also another teenager.

Rise up?

Zhuang was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't react for a while, and Jin Qi, how could this kid be here.

Jin Qi said hello with a slight chin of his head.

Kong Fu also bowed his hand to Zhuang and Liang Ping, and before he could speak, he heard someone rush ahead of him and ask, "When will she go out?" ”

The person who questioned him was Jin Qi.

Zhuang didn't have time to investigate the reason why Jin Qi appeared here, and when he heard him ask, he said with a worried face: "After breakfast, I went out almost when I arrived!" ”

The door of the hour is out......

It's been almost two hours now.

And an hour to get to the Kiyoba Pavilion is more than enough.

"Sister Sakura hasn't been here this morning?" Zhuang looked at Kong Fu and asked for a moment.

Confer shook his head slightly, and there was confusion in his eyes.

"If that's ......," Zhuang muttered with a dazed expression.

"But it's not known if there's been a delay on the way, or if you've met an acquaintance." Shi Qing speculated on the good side as much as possible, trying to relieve Zhuang's excessive nervousness.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang became more and more excited, looked at Liang Ping suddenly, his face was full of panic, and then he said thoughtlessly-"It's really ......!" What should I do? Let's report to the police! ”

"This ...... What's going on? Kong Fu faintly realized the severity of the matter from Zhuang's words and expressions, and hurriedly asked.

Jin Qi also tightened his eyebrows for a moment, and looked at Liang Ping and Zhuang for a moment, waiting for their answers.

Liang Ping'an, who was also frowning tightly, patted Zhuang's hand lightly and comfortingly, and then under the gaze of Kong Fu, Jin and Shi Qing, he took out a letter from his arms that had been opened.

"About an hour ago, someone stuck this letter on the pillar in front of my house with a dagger—" Liang Ping handed the letter to Kong Fu and said, "The letter said that someone had kidnapped Ah Ying, and asked us to ransom three thousand taels to ransom people, and they would tell us the location of the transaction before dark, and if we dare to report to the official during this period, Ah Ying's life will be in danger......

"What?" Kong Fu, who had reached a level of peace, couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he never thought that Jiang Ying would encounter such a terrible thing on the way to Qingbo Pavilion!

"In broad daylight, such rampant things can happen in the capital...... "Kong Fu thought about it, and almost instantly decided that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"Aunt Zhuang, I think for the sake of the girl's comfort, it's better not to report to the official for the time being......" Shi Qing said more rationally.

These outlaws who have lost their conscience are absolutely doable...... R1152
