Chapter 24: A Bad Trick (Part II)

The three girls waited in the pavilion for a while and still didn't see He Ran come back, Mrs. Nuanyu was just about to call Sijing to take a look, but saw Xiaozhu coming with a chess box, and reported: "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department came to visit, he went to the front hall to meet guests, and said that he would come in a while." ”

Su Xiyao said to Mrs. Nuanyu: "It's still comfortable in the valley, and I don't like him to be busy with official business more and more now." ”

"He's working hard for your Su family." Mrs. Nuan Yu replied with a smile,

Su Xiyao glanced at her and said, "You can't say this kind of ambiguous thing." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Nuan Yu didn't fight back, Mingqin Chaduo couldn't help but be surprised, and asked timidly: "Sister Nuan Yu's words are wrong." ”

Su Xiyao looked at Mrs. Nuanyu and said, "You tell Sister Cha'er clearly, who is he working for, let me see if you have a heart." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu said stiffly: "It's just for your Su family, it's really unreasonable." After speaking, he sneered and turned to Mingqin Chaduo, "He, he's working hard for a few of us, just so that we can live a stable life." As he spoke, he glanced at Su Xiyao, and then said, "Of course, the most important thing is for the most beloved eldest princess, we all borrowed the light of the eldest princess." ”

Su Xiyao said with a smile: "I'm really not afraid of losing my heart, I should have stopped him at that time and didn't allow him to go to Xiping to pick you up." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu pretended to give a slight salute and said, "How else can I say that I borrowed the light of the eldest princess, Nuan Yu thanks the eldest princess for her kindness." ”

While the two of them were playing, Mingqin Tea was lying on the railing and looking at the clusters of bright flowers outside the pavilion, Mrs. Nuanyu's words made her seem to suddenly understand a lot, and she also had a deeper understanding of He Ran, no wonder the military division was so harmonious, it turned out that he spent most of his mind on them, unlike other high-ranking officials who spent all their energy on their careers and fame,

It's been some time since I came to the Central Plains, thinking about it carefully, although there are many beauties around him, but he has never felt left out, almost every day he will stay alone with himself for a while, how can this care not be touching, this should not only be explained by the word careful, it is because of cherishing so there is careful, her feelings before were vague, listening to Mrs. Nuanyu's words, she had a sense of sudden enlightenment,

"So you're all here."

The cheerful words pulled the god of Mingqin Tea back, and turned his head to see that it was Green Rope who came with his best female companion Xiaohong, this Xiaohong and she were already inseparable, everyone called her Red Rope, and she was regarded as Green Rope's partner and maid, and she had officially received monthly money from the house two months ago.

Green Rope put a few oil ladles in his hand on the stone table, opened them one by one and said, "Come and taste it, it's delicious." ”

Mingqin Chaduo looked at the turquoise and crystalline thing in the paper bag and asked, "What is this?" ”

Su Xiyao took a pack and handed it to her, and explained very expertly: "It's a spring cake, the spring cake in Mingzhong City is the most famous, made with seven kinds of seasonal fruits and vegetables, so it is also called seven fruit cakes, especially the paste fruit in it is only available in this season, there are many paste juices produced here and there is no peculiar smell, the ones I eat in Dingyang are astringent, try it." ”

Mingqin Chaduo took it and took a small bite tentatively, tasted the taste, and nodded: "Well, it's really delicious, smooth and elastic, sweet and sour, hmm...... There was also a taste I couldn't put into words, and it was the first time I had tasted it. ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu took the paper bag handed by Xiaohong, and joked to Mingqin Chaduo: "You are really blessed, we were afraid that you would not be used to the food here, but now that you are about to become a foodie, there is nothing you don't like to eat." ”

Mingqin Chaduo said a little shyly: "How can we have so many delicious foods over there, you are not allowed to laugh at me." ”

Su Xiyao snorted and said: "There is also the face to say that others, but it's not who is the most greedy, I haven't seen Jing'er run in and out to buy snacks in the past few days in the city, but this greedy person doesn't have the kindness of Sister Green Rope, and he doesn't know how to share it with everyone if he eats it himself." ”

The gluttony was revealed, Mrs. Nuan Yu suddenly lost her head, and she was speechless, Si Jing on the side swallowed the spring cake in her mouth, and said with a grin: "The eldest princess is a strange person, I bought it back to eat it with my greedy mouth, and it is not Madame's business." ”

Su Xiyao glared at her with a smile and said, "You are a loyal girl, and you will bear all the ugly things for her, and I am not worth it for you with such a master." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu was weak and couldn't refute, handed the uneaten spring cake in her hand to Xiaozhu, and advised: "Xiaozhu, you have to remember, you can't be so mean to learn from her in the future." ”

Green Rope took a bag of spring cakes and handed it to Mrs. Nuanyu, blinked and said, "Madame has eaten so many delicious foods, tell me what are delicious, I'll go buy them." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu smiled and made a gesture to fight, and scolded: "Dead girl, you also come to laugh at me." ”

In the midst of laughter, Green Rope saw He Ran walking towards this side, and hurriedly stuffed the remaining two packets of spring cakes to Mingqin Tea and one to Sijing, "Eat quickly, don't leave him left." After speaking, he walked with Xiaohong to greet He Ran,

"You two don't run around, you have to bring guards when you go out, you know." When they met, He Ran didn't stop, and only instructed,

Green Rope stopped and looked at his back and said to Xiaohong: "Look, something must have happened again, otherwise he wouldn't have left without sneering at me." ”

Xiaohong asked, "Shall we go over and listen?" ”

Green Rope pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, if we are going, it may be inconvenient for him to say, let's go." Although she said this, she frowned and looked at the gazebo and did not take a step.

When He Ran entered the pavilion, Su Xiyao's bright eyes swept over his face and said, "Don't play chess if you have something." ”

"It's not a big deal." He sat down in front of the stone table, and said to Xiaozhu while placing the chessboard: "Help me pack up, I have to go out for a few days." ”

"Where to go." Mrs. Nuan Yu asked uneasily,

"East Weave City." He Ran said in his mouth, pointing to Su Xiyao on the opposite side,

"Where is Dongzhi City, what is going on?" Mrs. Nuan Yu asked,

"More than two hundred miles to the southeast, what happened is not big, and I just take this opportunity to avoid the envoys of Zhao State." He Ran casually dropped a son in the star position,

Su Xiyao also corresponded with the star position, and asked lightly: "How big is not big." ”

He Ran got off the second star and said: "The criminal I want to interrogate died in prison, it was two brothers, when the hell guard said that the two of them had beaten each other, the younger brother was killed on the spot, and the elder brother then died. ”

"You think there's something wrong." Su Xiyao should be a star,

"It's weird, I don't die sooner or later, but I died when I was about to be arraigned, and besides, it's hard to find a family in prison, how can you beat each other with fists and feet."

"It's not impossible for them to have martial arts." Mrs. Nuan Yu frowned,

"There are martial arts, but there are martial arts, then I don't believe it, hmph, I've seen a lot of more despicable things than this, and I've even heard that you died in prison after drinking saliva, this is blatant murder."

Mrs. Nuan Yu looked at him and said, "If it is murder, then this matter is not a trivial matter, and it may be widely implicated." ”

"So I'd like to find out for myself." He flew a little hand beside Su Xiyao's star position,

Su Xiyao stopped and said, "Even so, you don't need to go, it's enough to let the Criminal Department send someone to go, and then don't worry about letting the Supervision Department investigate and handle it together." ”

He Ran shook his head and said: "The city guard of Dongzhicheng is the old department of Xu Tong, the supervision envoy over there is the former chief of the guard in Pingjiang, and the squire of the criminal department who reviewed this case is Su Ge's cronies, alas, if the official election system is not changed, it will be difficult for officialdom to get rid of this intricate relationship, and the case can only be solved in the end. ”

Su Xiyao frowned, and Mrs. Nuan Yu said: "The officialdom in the world is like this, you really think you can turn things around." ”

"It depends on the dedication of others, anyway, I won't waste too much energy for this kind of thing, show the way, and then make some examples, and then look at the sound of them, I won't keep in charge."

"The courtiers in the world are the biggest on your shelf." Mrs. Nuan Yu said with a smile, "I have also heard Yin'er say something, and in my opinion, Yi Guo's officialdom is already the cleanest." ”

He Ran nodded and said: "Sister has been in officialdom for a long time, I believe what you say, but the current situation is still too far from my requirements, and it will be difficult to have a hundred years of peace if you don't rectify it." ”

"How long is it going to go?" Mingqin Chaduo finally couldn't help but ask,

He Ran looked at her eyebrows, winked at her and said, "I'll take you with me." ”

Mingqin Chaduo's pretty face immediately turned red, and she nodded shyly, her eyes full of joy,

"I want to go too." Si Jing pursed her lips and looked at him,

Mrs. Nuan Yu knew that she was speaking for herself, so she looked at her with a smile and said, "If you want to go, I will allow you to go." ”

"Ma'am." Sijing called out dissatisfiedly,

The corner of Su Xiyao's mouth fell with a smile, and said: "This girl is really pitiful, Jing'er, you might as well come to the Whispering Garden and be a companion with Xiaozhu." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu lovingly wrapped her hand around Si Jing's shoulders and said, "It's not difficult for her to be with Xiaozhu, as long as you exchange yourself for her." ”

"Let me be a girl for you, do you want to arouse it." Su Xiyao rolled her eyes and looked at her,

"If you want to be this girl, I dare to call, I am willing to fight, and no one in the world can stop the word 'willing'."

Su Xiyao smiled and said, "Okay, Jing'er, you can go back to the Whispering Garden with Xiaozhu in a while, I'll go and be a girl for her, and I will serve her well." ”

Si Jing grinned and leaned against Mrs. Nuanyu,

"Then I'll take it, Jing'er, if you have any unfinished business at hand, you can explain it to her later, and teach her the rules to abide by by the way." Mrs. Nuan Yu commanded with a smile,

He Ran raised his eyes staring at the chessboard and said to Su Xiyao, "I guess the first thing she did was to let you go out and buy her snacks." ”

Su Xiyao smiled and said, "It turns out that you already know that she is greedy. ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu was embarrassed and said, "You are not a thing." Saying that, he pulled up the Mingqin tea, "Sister, let's go, we have to hug and hug when we play chess, let's not be uninteresting." ”

He Ran looked at the spring cake in Mingqin Chaduo's hand, and seemed to have an understanding: "Did you just say this?" ”

Su Xiyao smiled happily and nodded, "I thought she was eating alone, but it seems that she didn't give you a lot to eat, it was the two of you who ate alone." ”

Mrs. Nuan Yu knew that it was difficult to save the defeat, so she smiled and pulled Mingqin tea out of the pavilion, walked a few steps and turned her head and said, "After playing chess, come and be a girl for me, there is a lot of work waiting for you to do." ”
