Jing Yi realized that he had something to say, so he said, "Brother Jiu, what do you have in mind, just say it." ”

Zhishen hesitated for a moment and said, "I think of my father." Explain the matter between you and Meng Yuan to your father clearly, and let him mediate, and this matter may take a turn for the better. Zong Qing's cousin didn't say all the words, and the reason why Duan Fengxiao refused to help was probably all because of this. If you think about it, it's not that they can't move. ”

After he finished speaking, he just looked at Jingyi.

Jingyi didn't immediately say anything. His prudent judgment is not unreasonable. Rescuing Dai Mengyuan is such a big thing, once the East Window incident happens in the future, none of these people may be able to withstand the pressure from her father.

Seeing that Jing Yi was silent, Zhi Shen said, "You may not know that Meng Yuan has been expelled by St. John. Originally, he was also withdrawn from the three places recommended to study in the United States this fall. In the eyes of the world, he has no good future. But Meng Yuan didn't kill people and set fires, so he didn't have the heinous charge, and he couldn't just be buried in his future. I wanted to hide from you, to see my father, and ask him to intercede. I didn't expect the Dai family to find you first. This is also a rush to the doctor, and they don't want to think about what kind of situation you are. Mae"

Jingyi heard this, and her face became even darker.

Zhishen said: "That's it, my father didn't go out today, so I'll go to see him." ”

Jingyi lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said, "No, Brother Jiu, it's up to me to see my father." Truth"

"It's better to go first. Look at what the father meant. If not, you go again. Zhi Shen said.

"Brother Jiu, I'll go. My father didn't like people going around in circles with him. Jingyi said.

"Then I'll go with you. Think about what to say when you meet your father. Zhi Shen also knew that there was only one way left. There may be another way out temporarily, but I'm afraid it's too late.

Jingyi hesitated, but agreed.

With caution by her side, she felt a little more settled in her heart. She looked at it cautiously - Gu He said her ninth brother to her face that day, she didn't like to listen to that kind of thing; When her ninth brother came, he would never do that kind of indiscriminate betrayal of his friends......

"Brother Jiu, they suspect that you leaked the news." Jingyi said.

Zhishen was stunned and asked Jingyi, "What do you think?" ”

"It won't be you." Jingyi whispered.

"Their suspicions are valid. I'm not a trained person after all. But every time, I just waited in the designated place to get the letter, and I didn't even see Meng Yuan and their people. Zhi Shen said.

Jingyi thought for a while and said, "I'm still willful, Brother Jiu." If it's not for me in a hurry, or ...... I can endure it any longer, maybe not this calamity. ”

"How can I blame you for this?" Zhishen grabbed Jingyi, "What are you thinking about?" That's why you tried so hard to save him? ”

Jingyi shook her head and said, "I always have to save him." ”

Zhishen was a little depressed, and he couldn't say anything to comfort Jingyi, so he had to look at her and said, "I really can't blame you for this." ”

Jingyi nodded, and when she came out, she sent Qiu Wei back, and asked Qiu Wei to tell her mother Xin'er, "Just say that I went to the study to see my father." Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about it. ”

Jingyi and Zhishen went to Cheng Shiyun's study together, and neither of them said anything along the way.

Cheng Shiyun's study was in the southeast corner, and Zhishen's residence was in the east, and they walked through the courtyard one after another.

"I really don't like to come here. I always feel that the yin qi is too heavy, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Zhi Shen did not hide his opinion of his father's study. Except for the fact that he was trained almost every time he came, no matter where he lived, his father's study was like a forbidden place for him, especially here. A good yard with nothing but plane trees. However, these sycamores are like I don't know what kind of magical fertilizer has been applied, they grow extremely tall, the trees are tall and wide, covering the sky and the sun, and there is a sense of ghost as soon as they come in. He couldn't help but shudder as he thought about it. He was sweating when he originally walked, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, it was as cold as a cellar.

If Jingyi has a fire stuffed in her heart, she doesn't care how cold it is.

Cheng Yi was about to enter the study with a tea tray, and when she saw them, she saluted the two of them and said, "The master is not seeing anyone at this time, and he is talking to the young master about things." "Cheng Yisi has been with Cheng Shiyun for many years, and he is exactly the one who is one writer and one martial artist around Cheng Shiyun.

Zhi Shen asked, "Which young master?" The eldest young master? ”

Cheng Yi nodded.

"Then you give us a briefing and say we'll wait." Zhi Shen said.

Cheng Yi went in first.

Zhishen turned his head to look at Jingyi, who shook his head.

Zhishen asked, "What do you think of?" ”

"Same as you think." Jingyi said. I'm afraid that this is a catastrophe.

Zhi Shen and Jing Yi stood outside the door and waited.

They said they were talking about things inside, and they couldn't hear anything.

It was the first time Jingyi had come to her father's new study. She looked up at the seemingly dull courtyard—from under the eaves, the plane trees were so tall that they had long since surpassed the roof. I don't know which lord planted the plane tree...... She stared at the fallen leaves in the woods. The old leaves that have accumulated over the years have rotted into mud. Occasionally, there are large fresh dark green leaves covering it, which feels a little green and abrupt.

"In terms of area alone, this yard is big enough, and it probably takes a little time to walk around the verandah of the yard. There are so many plane trees, how dark it is in the study. Jingyi said.

"Father loved the kind head of the plane tree. I heard that I have nothing to do lately, and my favorite thing is to take a walk in the yard. Zhi Shen said.

Jingyi didn't know what the good intentions were, but she remembered that when she was very young, her father took her one day to recognize trees: catalpa trees, locust trees, and sycamores...... When I recognized the sycamore, my father said that the sycamore tree is the most like a person, when I was a child, my stomach was empty, I read a lot, and slowly stuffed my empty stomach...... She was very fat when she was a child, and her father patted her round little belly and called her Chubby Yi'er...... Jingyi turned her face to look at the study door, which was still closed.

It was only a moment before the door opened.

Jing Yi and Zhi hurriedly turned around, and what they saw was Zhao Zongqing, and the two called their cousins in unison, and they both saw that Zhao Zongqing's face was not good.

Zhao Zongqing said to Jingyi: "Go in, uncle is waiting for you." ”

Zhishen wanted to go in together, but Zhao Zongqing stopped him.

Zhishen saw Zhao Zongqing's eyes, waited for Jingyi to enter, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" What did my father say? ”

"You'll know when you look back." Zhao Zongqing took the top hat and fanned it slightly, buckled it to the top of his head, and said, "I'll go first." There are still errands to do. After he finished speaking, he ignored his caution and hurried away.

"Big cousin! Elder brother! Zhishen shouted unwillingly, and saw Zhao Zongqing's figure in the corridor like a cunning rabbit fleeing, he scratched the top of his head and said, "What are you running, I can eat you?" ”

"Ninth Young Master." Zhixin stood behind him and shouted.

Zhishen turned around and said angrily: "I know, the old man is scolding inside, don't argue with him, right?" ”

Zhi Yan didn't say anything. Zhishen's mood is not good, he can see it.

Zhi Shen listened intently, but he couldn't hear the movement, he got closer, and then he had to listen carefully, Zhi Xin stopped him and reminded in a low voice: "Ninth Young Master, don't listen to indecent things." ”

Zhi Shen was amused and said, "You boy know what indecent manners are. It's rude...... "He held the door frame with one hand, and his ears were also attached to it.

It's really quiet inside, didn't Jingyi and her father say anything?

According to my father's temper, shouldn't I use an inkstone to hit Xiao Shi at this time......

After Jingyi entered the study, when she saw her father, she hadn't had a chance to say a word except for calling him father.

Cheng Shiyun sat at the table, holding a tube of brushes, and was writing a letter.

The sunlight was blocked by the plane trees in the yard, and the row of windows in the study hardly played a role, and during the day, if Cheng Shiyun wanted to write or read, he had to turn on the lamp.

Jingyi looked at the green lampshade on her father's desk, which was clear and beautiful.

Under the light, my father's hand holding a thin brush seemed warmer than usual...... Suddenly, the pen stopped.

Jingyi saw her father put down the pen and looked at the light from beginning to end, obviously feeling very satisfied, folded the letter paper, and stuffed it into the envelope. The recipient on the envelope has already been written.

Cheng Shiyun pretended to be a letter, looked at his silent daughter, and said, "Say it." ”

Jingyi's hand behind her back was tightly clasped to her lower back, as if this could give her a lot of strength

"Huh?" Cheng Shiyun put down the envelope and picked up his pipe.

"Father, I'm here to ask you to save Meng Yuan." Jingyi said.

Cheng Shiyun's gestures of loading cigarettes did not pause at all, his eyes were lowered, he was very focused, and asked casually: "Meng Yuan?" ”

Jingyi bit her lip, and at this moment, her father's gaze swept her face, and she suddenly felt that there seemed to be something in this fluttering gaze, which made her face burn in an instant, and her heart was involuntarily filled with hot blood gushing up from the soles of her feet, and this force was simply overwhelming.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Meng Yuan...... Dai Mengyuan...... It's my friend...... Father, Meng Yuan was arrested and taken to the police station, first locked up in Banbu Bridge, and suddenly transferred to the artillery station. But he was just a student and never did anything bad. Father, can you find a way to save him? ”
