"The servants are incompetent, let the thieves escape, the tired king is in a false alarm, please ask the king to surrender!"

Yang Siqiao returned to the arch of the West Garden in frustration, and knelt in front of Li Tong with a plop: "The pavilion has been searched, and the thieves should be alone, and the hiding is not a short day." ”

"I'm damn it, I'm ...... Why are you so careless! If you let the servants into the park early to check carefully, how could this happen! ”

Zheng Jin also looked ashamed, and even raised his hand to fan his face.

"Auntie doesn't have to blame herself, she has been in the forbidden place for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will be less vigilant. There is a lot of work in housework, and it all depends on the aunt alone, and negligence is inevitable. ”

Li Tong raised his hand and pressed Zheng Jin's arm, and said to Yang Siqiao: "Ah Jiu, you can also get up, let's take a look again, can we find out the clues of the thief's coming." ”

"Ah Lang is not allowed to enter again, I will enter the garden to investigate thoroughly! Alas, it's only my gullibility...... I—I'm damn it, how could I do such a stupid thing! ”

Zheng Jin's eyes were red with self-blame, she still couldn't forgive herself, she thought that the blockade of the West Garden was handled prudently, but she didn't expect that a bad thought would cover up such a fatal mistake. Fortunately, the thief is still hiding in the West Garden, and he is quick and flexible to escape, and if he really sneaks into the house, he can't prevent it.

Both of them stopped Li Tong and proposed to immediately summon the palace guards to investigate in such detail, but Li Tong was a little hesitant.

In fact, the thief was deeply impressed by the swiftness with which he had escaped just now, and he was amazed, this matter was strange and strange, and he didn't want too many people to know about it.

However, listening to the persuasion of these two people, Li Tong gradually dispelled the idea of concealing it, after all, if such a strange thing happened in his living garden, if he didn't investigate it thoroughly to prevent it from getting worse, he wouldn't be able to sleep steadily.

In particular, there are many eyes and ears of Jin Wuwei outside his house, but the other party can come and go easily, whether it is Jin Wuwei's secret or other unknown omissions also makes him quite worried.

He was just about to open his mouth to summon himself into battle, but he saw ripples on the surface of the pool under the sun, and a white light and shadow under the surface of the water swam towards the shore. Seeing this, Yang Siqiao was already furious, and roared in a low voice: "The thief is really bold, I will let you die here today!" ”

As he spoke, he ran to the edge of the pool with a bamboo cane.

The white shadow was still more than two feet away from the edge of the pool, and the sound of the water revealed a wet and vivid face, and made a crisp call: "Don't be surprised, master, I will apologize......"

Seeing this scene, the three people on the shore were a little distracted. Rao is Li Tong's quality of not being surprised in many places, and seeing that face that broke through the water was also a little distracted, it is no exaggeration to say that his heartbeat is a little faster.

He is not a person who is stunned, he has seen many beautiful people in the forbidden world before, and he can sit still without messing up, but when he sees the bright eyes and bright teeth in the water, he is like a hibiscus out of the water, probably because this way of appearing is too bizarre, and he has a feeling of amazement and dazzling for a while.

But how is the woman, after all, there is little temptation for the eunuch, Yang Siqiao strode into the water, the bamboo cane in his hand had been swept out, flying across the water and quickly pumping towards the girl in the water.

The girl's posture is really flexible, the water flow seems to be unable to become its fetters, and as soon as her waist is twisted in the water, she swept more than half a foot away, dodging Yang Siqiao's smashed bamboo cane, still in an apologetic tone: "I really have no bad intentions, I only confess to the master when I return!" ”

"Ah Jiu pauses, listen to her."

Li Tong raised his hand, recalled Yang Simiao, who was about to jump into the water, untied the short knife at his waist and handed it to Yang Simiao, and waved his hand to signal Zheng Jin to withdraw from the park temporarily.

But Zheng Jin didn't take a few steps back, and the girl in the water shouted again: "Are you going to summon people to surround the pool?" I'm going to run away! ”

As she spoke, her body swimming in the water withdrew again.

Li Tong was stunned when he heard this, and then said coldly: "You haunt like a water ghost, scaring my family." I really want to arrest you, with an order, Yishui will be cut off, where can you escape? ”

The girl had already swam a distance, but after hearing this, her posture in the water was obviously sluggish, and she turned back a little depressed: "You are the owner of this garden house?" I really didn't want to scare your family, it's just an empty garden at this time, before and after your family moved in, the outer canal fell into the water gate, and there were people watching outside the courtyard wall day and night, trapping me here......"

Li Tong couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, since he couldn't escape, he didn't have any scruples, so he simply said to Zheng Jin in front of the girl: "She can't escape, Auntie quickly summons someone to salvage this little thief for me!" ”

Zheng Jin was even more stunned at this time, and hurried to the garden gate.

"Don't, don't ......"

The girl became even more frightened when she heard this, and slapped her arm on the water and shouted: "I am not an ordinary lady, you caught me in trouble......"

"It's not troublesome, such a big garden, corpses can be buried everywhere, and it's too easy to die without proof."

Li Tong saw her fluttering happily in the water, and the evil taste in her heart was even worse, no matter how unusual you are, how unusual can you have me?

When the girl heard this, her face turned even pale, and she didn't say any more, turned around and swam towards the mouth of the canal in China.

Li Tong couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he saw this, he didn't believe the girl's boasting, but the problem was that Jin Wuwei, who was patrolling and watching outside the hospital, was not his person, and it was really a trouble for her to swim out and fall into the hands of Jin Wuwei.

"Stop her!"

Li Tong made a gesture to Yang Siqiao, and called Zheng Jin back again, ran along the bank of the garden to chase after him, and shouted: "You swim back, explain clearly, I won't kill you!" Outside the park are all official sergeants, if you are caught, it will be even more difficult to survive! ”

Hearing this call, the girl swam out a little slower, but still swam a distance before stopping again, her tone was already a little panting and crying: "You, you speak inconsistently, I don't believe you......"

"You pretend to be a ghost in my garden, and I lie to scare you once, what's the big deal? If you are caught by the officials and soldiers outside the house, you will definitely be sentenced, but if you return and explain clearly, you can still hope that I will be merciful. Think for yourself, what should I do? If you look closer, I'm not a brutal person who kills people at every turn. ”

Li Tong patiently persuaded and signaled Yang Siqiao to continue running around the pond and find a narrow place to enter the water: "I heard that your tone is tired, come to the shore, I won't hurt you." Good swimmers drown, my garden is vast, I really want to drown myself, who do you blame? A weak little lady, if she is not desperate, how can she sneak into the house of another person to live in seclusion, I am a kind face, and my heart is more kind, tell me about your hardships, maybe I will forgive you......"

"I, I...... I can swim farther! ”

The girl's mouth is still strong, but the floating movement is indeed getting slower and slower.

"I saw it, but what about you're water-based? You can't dwell on your sufferings and beg me for forgiveness, and even if you swim out, you will always be caught. The thieves sneaked into your mansion's home, and those officials and soldiers were afraid that I would be held accountable, so they still wanted to send you to my mansion for questioning. When the time comes, I may not be so polite to you! ”

Li Tong was half persuading and half intimidating, and he was indeed curious in his heart, what kind of way did this girl come from?

"When I swam back, I begged my master for forgiveness, but you wanted to kill me......"

The girl's tone grew sad and trembling, and her face became paler and paler as she appeared on the water.

Zheng Jin originally complained that this little lady was pretending to be a ghost, which made her ashamed of her dereliction of duty, but when she saw that her delicate face was completely bloodless, she couldn't bear it in her heart: "Little lady, don't harm yourself again, come to the shore and beg the king for forgiveness." The king really wants to investigate, if you can't escape, you really want to make trouble with the official office, not only yourself, but your family will suffer! ”

"I—I don't have a family! I'm not afraid of death at all......"

The girl's mood swings were intense, her energy consumption was more serious, and her floating posture was not as flexible as before. At this time, Yang Siqiao also entered the water from the other side, and swam into the pool with a very clumsy dog-planing puff.

"I just want the garden to be quiet and add one less soul, but if you really want to die, then you don't need to go ashore again, be a real water ghost."

Li Tong raised his legs and stepped onto a garden stone to sit down, posing as if he had been watching the play for a long time.

The girl in the water bit her silver teeth wrongly, her wet face was full of struggle, and she didn't dare to open her mouth to reply anymore, and finally turned around and swam to the nearest pool.

When he swam to the shallow water near the shore, he settled down, gasped for a moment and opened his mouth to retch, it can be seen that he is indeed extremely tired, but he still does not dare to go ashore, and his black and white eyes are staring at Li Tong on the shore, which is quite steamy.

"You pretend to be a ghost in my garden, so that my family doesn't dare to enter lightly, and you still feel wronged?"

Li Tong held a broken bamboo and gently stroked the water, but he didn't approach, and the agile figure of the girl who escaped from the Hezhou Pavilion just now still left a deep impression on him.

Zheng Jin also complained on the side: "Why do you want such a cute and poor little lady to do such a sneaky thing?" ”

"I, I...... I'm sorry, there was no one in this garden when I came, and I couldn't get out when I wanted to leave...... I didn't want to hurt anyone, I just didn't have anywhere to go. ”

The girl lowered her head, her eyelashes flickered, and tears had slid down the lake to her beautiful face.

"Let's stay in the water first, and my aunt will go to get clean clothes and robes, and I won't tell my family for the time being."

Li Tong waved his hand, ordered Zheng Jin, and retreated a little farther away with Yang Siqiao, who had already gone ashore. The girl didn't have the strength to continue tossing at this time, she stood in the pool with her arms folded around her chest, sobbing and secretly peeking at Li Tong with hazy teary eyes, and choked up: "You, you really won't hurt me?" ”

"Aren't you not afraid of death at all?"

Li Tong laughed when he heard this.

"I, I feel that I am not afraid if I have no way to live, I am not afraid of anything! But you lie to me, you don't deceive people like this! ”

The girl raised her hand to wipe a handful of tears or pool water on her face, her eyebrows were raised, thin and amorous, and then she pointed to Yang Siqiao who was standing aside: "You look like this, if you deceive people, it will make people sad, he ...... If he deceives, it makes people angry. ”

Li Tong turned his head to look at Yang Siqiao, who was frowning, and couldn't help but be amused, then pointed at the girl again, and said with a smile: "Judging people by their appearance? So, you dare to lurk in my house, even if you expose your traces, you feel that I won't harm you? ”

"I don't think so! When I do bad things, I'm always scared, but I just haven't run away. It's just, it's just what you say, that people want to believe. ”

The girl's face was blushing, there was no lack of annoyance and anger, and tears flowed down again: "If you don't spare me, you should too." But, why are you making fun of me? ”
