Hearing this, Qin Keqing and Nangong Feifei were stunned, and after glancing at each other, they each shook their heads, and the two of them knew that the Cao family did this out of gratitude.

But the two of them also knew that this matter should be very wide-ranging, so they didn't say anything, just sat silently next to them and helped make a cup of tea and handed it to Cao.

Looking at the tea handed over, Cao Shi was obviously a little panicked, and looked at these two blankly, not knowing what this move meant.

Seeing her like this, Nangong Feifei's eyes lit up, and she smiled lightly and said: "It's not interesting, I just think you're pregnant, and it's cold tonight, I don't want you to suffer from the cold, that's all!" ”

"That's all?" Cao Shi obviously didn't believe it, so the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said lightly: "I have already agreed, so naturally I will not go back on my word and not believe it!" So you don't have to be like this. ”

Originally, it was just out of kindness, but I didn't expect the Cao family to be extraordinary and unappreciative, and actually said these words that rejected people thousands of miles away, Nangong Feifei was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Nangong Feifei's face turned pale and her face was angry, the Cao family realized that she had misunderstood her kindness, but the words had already come out and wanted to take it back again, so she coughed lightly, and changed her words and said, "Do you think that the girl is so unkind to me?" ”

Nangong Feifei didn't answer, but from her contemptuous smile, it was already clear that Cao's guess was true.

Seeing that this was the case, Cao Shi didn't say anything to explain, but just took a long breath, stopped his gaze on Wen Ziqi, and said lightly: "Lord Wen, if you have anything to ask, just ask!" ”

Wen Ziqi, who had been pondering with his head down, heard this, so he slowly raised his head, only to see his eyebrows following, his eyes flashing with essence, and his originally handsome face seemed to be covered with a thick layer of frost, which made people feel cold all over his body at a glance.

"Since Shopkeeper Cao has said this, if I am holding a shelf like this, it will be a bit pretentious." Wen Ziqi laughed at himself, and said in a solemn tone: "Where are you two people!" ”

Since it has been decided to tell the truth, the Cao family is not preparing to hide, and when he heard that this is such a question, he didn't even think about it and said: "The two of us are from Qingzhou!" ”

Hearing that it turned out to be a local from Qingzhou, Wen Ziqi was slightly stunned, and his judgment that the two of them should be from other places or the capital moved here, which made him a little unexpected.

Perhaps unable to believe it, he repeated the phrase "locals? ”

"That's right," Cao obviously didn't expect Wen Ziqi to be entangled in this issue, but he didn't think much about it, so he continued: "Born and raised locally. ”

Even if he couldn't figure it out anymore, but this was the case, Wen Ziqi didn't continue to dwell on this issue, so he changed his words and asked puzzledly: "Then how did you two get in touch with the person who wanted to take my life..."

Speaking of this, he seemed to feel that what he said was a little inappropriate, so he continued, "It's not me, it's the life of Wen Shixu's heir." ”

Qin Keqing and Nangong Feifei, who had been sitting silently, were stunned when they heard his words, Qin Keqing was even more like thinking of something, and smiled calmly, "I'm scared to death." ”

Cao, who was about to open his mouth, glanced back at Qin Keqing, smiled, and then turned his head to look at Wen Ziqi and said, "She came to the door." ”

Hearing this, Wen Ziqi was even more surprised and came to the door? Could it be that his whereabouts were completely under the surveillance of this person, and that alone was enough to make him angry.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Looking for the door? Then you two should also have a little reputation! ”

Cao Shi did not deny it, nodded slowly, and said earnestly: "The two of us also had a slight reputation a few years ago, but because someone took the handle later, we had to come to this remote town. ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Cao Erniu, who had been staying aside, his eyes were full of tenderness, although they were a pair of eyes, but the feeling in them was completely different from the morning.

Hearing this, Qin Keqing seemed to find something wrong, so he rubbed his eyes lightly and said with a smile: "Incognito? I think I chose this place on purpose! ”

Hearing this, Cao Erniu jumped up in an instant like a wild cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said in his unrecognizable voice, "What do you mean!" ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Keqing glanced at him and said angrily, "There is a treasure trove dragon mansion more than ten miles away from here, don't you two want to pay attention to them?" ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he just smiled faintly, did not deny it, but sighed and said: "Think about it, the two of us have done nothing!" ”

Looking at her expression, Qin Keqing knew that he was not wrong, the reason why the two of them chose this place where birds don't was because of the dragon mansion on the mountain, as for why they didn't do it, the secret is unknown.

Looking at Cao Erniu's nervous expression, Qin Keqing smiled: "Shopkeeper Cao, don't be nervous, although I am a member of the government, it is not my duty to be like you." ”

Hearing this, Cao Erniu seemed to have taken a dose of reassurance, grinned, and stayed quietly by Cao's side.

"You just said you had a handle in the hands of someone?" Wen Ziqi saw that no one was talking, so he opened it again and asked, "But the person who came to the door?" ”

Cao obviously already knew that such a little trick could not be hidden from Wen Ziqi, so he nodded calmly, "That's right, everything is just as Lord Wen said, it's her!" ”

"Hiss" Wen Ziqi gasped, shook his head and sighed: "Giving people a handle, of course, is to obey the words." So when he comes to you, you don't have any room for bargaining! ”

Hearing this, Cao Shi stroked his palms and laughed, and there was helplessness in his laughter, "Bargaining ? Lord Wen really thinks highly of me, and people like us are most afraid of two kinds of people. ”

Before Wen Ziqi could speak, Nangong Feifei couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, so she said, "Those two kinds of people? ”

It seemed that he expected such a question, Cao Shi didn't think about it, so he said: "One is Lord Wen, and the other is the person who forces us to do things!" ”

Wen Ziqi obviously didn't expect Cao Shi to use himself as an example, and suddenly looked at her blankly, as if asking why is it a person like me, should I be considered that kind of person?

Before he could ask, Nangong Feifei on the side muttered: "I can understand that I have your handle, but why are you afraid of people like Brother Wen?" With that, he raised his eyes and looked at Cao.

Seeing that there was a gaze sweeping over, the Cao family did not evade it at all, as if he had expected them to ask such a question, so he pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head and sighed: "Lord Wen is this kind of pretending to be confused, teasing people and people in the palm of his hand, and asking you if you are afraid." ”

When she said this, Nangong Feifei and Qin Keqing glanced at each other, and they both nodded slowly to show their agreement with her statement.

"Ahem," Wen Ziqi coughed lightly, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said, "Me? Pretending to be confused is obviously a joke. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head and said helplessly: "I am a simple person!" ”

Hearing his emphasis, Nangong Feifei smiled "poof", glanced at Wen Ziqi, and said slyly: "Brother Wen, you seem to be honest, but in fact, there is a world of your own in your heart, although this world is only the size of a needle's eye. ”

If it weren't for her temperament, Wen Ziqi would have already refuted it, but now he just laughed and laughed at himself: "How can my appearance be described as honest? Speaking of this, he glanced at Qin Keqing, who pretended to be calm, and continued: "I think I should belong to the category of handsome!" ”

Originally, he was forcing patience, but now he suddenly heard such boasting, Qin Keqing finally couldn't help but let out a puff.

Wen Ziqi, who was originally serious, saw that even Qin Keqing was laughing, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and muttered: "Where is it funny, why don't I know at all!" ”

Nangong Feifei, who had already laughed so much that she couldn't help herself, finally stopped laughing, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and raised her voice: "A serious joke." ”

The originally depressing atmosphere of the hall became much more cheerful between the two of them frolicking, and even the candle flame seemed to be a little brighter than just now.

Cao Shi pursed the corners of his mouth lightly and whispered: "I, Huo Xiao, didn't understand where the defeat was until this matter!" ”

Although the sound was not loud, it was like a boulder falling into a pond, causing ripples.

Qin Keqing and Nangong Feifei are both masters of interrogation, so they naturally know what it means for Huo Xiao, who is known as Cao's name, to reveal his name at this time, so they both shut up and waited silently.

Things were really as they had predicted, and after a little silence, Huo Xiao took a long breath and said calmly: "Before the moon, I opened the door as usual to prepare for business. A yellow ribbon was found tied to the latch. ”

When Qin Keqing heard this, her expression suddenly became solemn, others might not know what this yellow ribbon meant, but she knew it very well!

Yellow is the color of the royal family, and according to the regulations, ordinary people are not allowed to appear in the cloth of this color. If there is a report, it will be punished as a conspiracy.

As early as more than a year ago, when she was handling cases in Youzhou, she had heard that there was an organization called Fengming Pavilion, which was famous in the rivers and lakes, and there were countless legends, and they used yellow ribbons to show their identities to their peers or enemies.

Qin Keqing thought at that time that this group of people was doing such a high-profile thing, did they want to tell the world that they were challenging the imperial power by doing so.

Later, because this Fengming Pavilion was not an important link in the case, Qin Keqing didn't take it to heart, and now hearing it again made her feel shocked.

The two states are far apart, and it is understandable if this situation occurs next to each other, but these two states are separated by several states and counties, and it is not a simple thing to move around at will.

What's even more surprising is that listening to Huo Xiao's meaning, this person should be from the government, and he is a woman!

You must know that in the entire Great Zhou, the number of women as officials is simply very small, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare.

Thinking of this, his face sank, and he asked with a very unhappy expression: "Can you be sure that the person looking for you must be from the government?" ”

Hearing such words, Huo Xiao was stunned at first, then looked at Qin Keqing with a smile on his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Why Lord Wen, do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?" ”

Hearing such a reply, Qin Keqing's heart suddenly ached as if it had been pricked by a needle.

After a long time, I saw her suddenly stand up and walk around on the ground with square steps!
