"On what terms?"

"Lord Shen has been resting recently, I will fly a pigeon and send a message to inform Lord Shen to come, and accompany the county lord to Qinnan together, with Lord Shen here, I will rest assured." After speaking, Tan Mufeng's bright eyes looked at Yin Yuxi's eyebrows,

Yin Yuxi was naturally a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, Tan Mufeng was really worried about her safety, but ...... Thinking that she had just broken up with Shen Ruoting today, she blurted out, "Shen Ruoting won't come." ”

Tan Mufeng smiled softly, "These county lords don't have to worry. After saying that, he stood up,

"As long as the county lord stays in the room to rest, Lord Shen will be waiting for you downstairs early tomorrow morning."

Without waiting for Yin Yuxi to answer, Tan Mufeng left unexpectedly.

At night, this street is very lively, and Yinyuxi originally intended to go down to go around, but when she thought of going to walk with Shen Ruoting tomorrow morning, she didn't know whether it was sweet, bitter, or astringent.

Unconsciously, Yin Yuxi sat on the windowsill and fell asleep, the figure flickered, and a black figure looked at her face buried in her arm, and suddenly softened somewhere in her heart, and finally sighed softly, carried her to the bed, and left quietly.

On the vertical day, after Yin Yuxi simply freshened up, when she left the room, she saw Tan Mufeng and Shen Ruoting at the staircase, Yin Yuxi's bright and beautiful eyes recovered a little sophisticated, and her cold and arrogant facial features revealed an elegant and elegant temperament, and she walked up to the two.

"County Lord, don't you need to think about it again?" Tan Mufeng asked respectfully.

"Don't think about it, let's leave early." Yin Yuxi's voice was faint, and he swept past the two of them and went straight downstairs.

After Shen Ruoting and Tan Mufeng bowed their heads, they followed.

The two of them walked out of the restaurant, the carriage was ready, and seeing that there was only one carriage, Yin Yuxi frowned slightly, "Yindong, go and prepare a carriage again." "I jumped into the carriage and sat down.

Shen Ruoting shook his head at Yindong, also got into the carriage, sat beside Yinyuxi, and saw her lips lightly opened, he hurriedly pressed her hand, "Since you are going to Qinnan, it is better not to attract people's eyes." ”

Yin Yuxi swallowed back the words that he wanted to export, and changed his tone, "Brother-in-law, do you know the purpose of my trip?" ”

"Of course I know." Shen Ruoting lifted the prepared pastry and handed it to her, her expression and tone were rare doting,

"You have been in the capital for a long time, it is difficult to come out, this time I will take you to have a good time."

Yin Yuxi took the red bean cake and took a bite, "How could this pastry shop in the capital open so early?" She used to like to eat these the most, and Shen Ruoting would always buy some fresh ones and send them to Bangyun Pavilion, and every bite she tasted at that time was extraordinarily sweet.

Now...... Yin Yuxi only felt a greasy panic in her mouth, and reluctantly finished eating this one, shaking her head, "I can't eat it." ”

"This is what I asked Leng Xi to learn a few days ago. Leng Xi's craftsmanship is not bad. Shen Ruoting saw her quietly hidden look, and her heart was even more worried, but her face returned to a cold color.

An hour later, the carriage slowly drove into Qinnan City, because of the long time he stayed here, Shen Ruoting chose a quiet small courtyard to rent, and the carriage stopped steadily in front of the courtyard door.

Shen Ruoting got out of the carriage first and stretched out his hand to help Yin Yuxi, but Yin Yuxi glanced at Yindong, and Yindong hurriedly handed over the back of his hand.

Shen Ruoting hid the look in his eyes, and praised in his mouth, "Unconsciously, Yuxi has grown up." ”

Yin Yuxi fell to the ground steadily, her eyes met the pair of phoenix eyes, and she smiled like a smile, "Brother-in-law, I am no longer the little girl who chased after you." ”

Yinbei had already stepped forward to open the door.

Shen Ruoting stood still and didn't move, "In the past, I always protected you in the county lord's mansion, but now that I have been with Tan Gongzi these days, you have really changed a lot, and I am very pleased." The tone changed slightly, but it became more and more gentle,

"Seeing Tan Mufeng this morning, he likes you a little in his heart, but you don't like him at all, how can he change so much because of him. Are you hiding something from me? ”

Yin Yuxi was slightly surprised, Shen Ruoting seemed to have returned to the past, her eyes were full of doting, and her tone was actually concerned, she stepped forward and hugged Shen Ruoting's arms, and the kind of admiration in her heart seemed to rise from the ground,

"Brother-in-law, don't you understand, I changed it for you. These days, you don't know how much I miss you, but for you, I still hold back. ”

Saying that, he left his warm embrace, "Maybe after a long time, I won't like you anymore." Perhaps, three months later, I will marry Tan Fu smoothly. ”

Shen Ruoting inexplicably felt a little astringent somewhere in his heart, and there was a vague look in his phoenix eyes, and he patted Yin Yuxi's shoulder,

"Alright. I'm just afraid of you because I wronged myself. ”

The two stopped talking and walked into the courtyard.

Near noon, Shen Ruoting walked in, and saw Yin Yuxi lying on the bed bored, he coughed lightly, "Yuxi, the city lord of Qin and Cheng Shizi asked you and me to go to Dexiang Building, let's go." ”

Yin Yuxi snorted twice, turned around, and turned her back to Shen Ruoting, "No, the weather is too hot and I don't want to go." ”

"After eating, Cheng Shizi also invited you to swim in the lake, and it was very cool to swim in the lake." Without waiting for Yin Yuxi to answer, he walked over and lowered his voice, "I know you don't want to see Cheng Shizi, you can eat when you want, play when you want, with me here, you don't need to look at his face." ”

Yin Yuxi still shook her head, "Brother-in-law, I really don't want to go out." ”

Seeing her like this, Shen Ruoting also knew that it was useless to persuade her, "Okay, let Yindong buy what you want to eat, if you want to come, you can ask Yindong to send you over." With that, Shen Ruoting walked away.

Yin Yuxi opened her eyes, her eyes rolled, she hadn't forgotten that there were important things to come to Qin Nan, and she was still thinking about how to find an excuse to go out, but she didn't expect it to be what she wanted at this time.

I saw that Yin Yuxi turned over, tidied up her hair, walked out of the door, waved Yindong, and asked in a low voice, "Can Shen Ruoting go?" ”

"If you go back to the county lord, Shen Gongzi has already left." Yindong bowed slightly, "The things ordered by the county lord have already been investigated by his subordinates." "Because of the hot weather, the city lord ordered that the body of the prefect be placed in the underground warehouse of the Lou City Lord's Mansion, and no one could approach it."

"Then is the relationship between the city lord and the prefect friend or foe?" If it was in the yamen, she could still find an excuse to go in, but if it was in the city lord's mansion, she would be a little difficult.

Yindong's face remained unchanged, and his tone sank, "Usually the relationship is not good, I heard that the two often make trouble all over the city because of the Yamen's handling of prisoners. ”

It seems that the city lord and Cheng Shizi are together, and when Cheng Shizi came, the city lord invited them to eat and swim in the lake, which shows that it is very difficult to find clues from the corpse.

"County lord, there is a way for my subordinates." Yindong proposed.

Yin Yuxi's eyes lit up, "What kind of method, let's hear it." ”

"The subordinate said, don't be angry." Yin Dong is usually meticulous, and seeing that Yin Yuxi's eyes are full of anticipation, he continued,

"The subordinates heard that on the day the prefect was shot, the lord Bo and the four catchers beside him were there, and the county lord should be able to find out something from them. But...... But ......"

Yin Yuxi frowned and urged, "But what, say it quickly!" ”

"They were locked up in the prefect's cell, and the county lord had to enter the cell if he wanted to see them."

Yin Yuxi pursed her lips lightly, and thought for a moment, "You mean, I'm going to be a prisoner and go to prison." Yindong's method is really good, but in order to make up for her mistakes, she wants to commit herself to prison, and she is a little unwilling.

"Okay, I'll think about it first."

Yin Yuxi walked around the courtyard twice, and finally stopped and made a decision, "Yindong, is the city lord a daughter or a son?" ”

"It's a young lady, I heard that the city lord will take Miss Qin with him when he goes to the lake in the afternoon."

Hearing this, Yin Yuxi sneered, "I'm afraid this city lord wants to bring his daughter to Cheng Shizi and Shen Ruoting." In that case, don't blame me for sabotage. "Putting down the color of ridicule, he commanded Yindong,

"You go and prepare the meal first. After eating and resting for a while, let's go to the street to see the beauty of Qinnan. ”

Qinnan is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the blue-gray bricks and tiles on both sides are reflected in the middle of the river, the stone bridges on the river are like black dragons, the red boats in the river are uneven, and the humming of women can occasionally be heard when standing on the boat.

The woman lifted the hem of her skirt and walked down the stone steps cautiously, waving her hand to let the maid come and help her, and when the woman's soft blue skirt bloomed, the silver jade breath had already swept past the woman and stepped on the boat.

"This is the boat I pictured. Miss, let's find another one. ”

The woman's delicate face could not hide her anger, "This is the ship that Miss Ben has set in advance, you are really bold. Stretching out his hand, he was about to pull Yin Yuxi's arm, but he didn't want Yin Yuxi to quickly dodge.

Yin Yuxi waved his sleeves and sat on the bed, it was difficult to hide Gao Hua's cold and arrogant temperament between his movements, and he looked at the woman with bright and beautiful eyes, "What about the fixed ship, it's a pity that I took it." ”

"You! Why are you such an arrogant and unreasonable woman, in this Qin Nan, you haven't dared to compete with Miss Ben for one or two. As she spoke, she licked her feet angrily, and when she saw the oars put aside, she waved towards the silver jade breath as soon as she had the wit to scold the dead oars.

Yin Yuxi grabbed the oar and pushed it hard, the woman's center of gravity was unstable, and she went straight into the water, splashing in all directions, and Yin Yuxi hurriedly raised her arm to block it with her sleeve.

The maid next to her immediately reacted, "Miss! Miss...... Still looking at what to do, hurry down and save my young lady! ”

The boatman recognized that this was Miss Qin, and if Miss Qin had an accident today, he would not be able to escape responsibility, and quickly jumped down towards the place where Miss Qin fell into the water.

Soon, Miss Qin was rescued by the boatman, and the maid went over to hold her and put her on the ground.

Miss Qin choked on the water, coughed a few times, her face flushed, and pointed at Yinyuxi, "Quick, quickly arrest this woman for me...... Get me in jail! ”

The two subordinates who followed immediately got on the boat and prepared to catch Yin Yuxi, but Yin Yuxi's bright and beautiful eyes recovered a little bit of sophistication, "I will go myself." ”

Miss Qin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but at this time, the bullied belly was full of anger, and the grievances were covered up, and she only thought about how to punish this woman well!
