Yuan Xiu enthusiastically helped Xiao Er serve the food together, Tang Xiaoxiao looked at him as if nothing had happened, he really didn't know how to speak, and now there is another Xu Zhouyin, which is even more difficult.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhouyin looked at her and asked.

Tang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "It just so happened that the head of the courtyard let me rest for five days, so I just came over to take a look, Suzhou and Hangzhou, first go to Suzhou and then go to Hangzhou, there is still a chance." ”

"Then I'll play with you for two days."

Yuan Xiu hurriedly sat down when she heard this, vying to take her all over Suzhou, watching Xu Yuan and the two of them fighting, Tang Xiaoxiao had to eat the dishes silently.

Xu Zhouyin, who was supposed to go back to Jiangnan, was delayed for two more days, and gave full play to his usual ability to take her around the market, and Yuanxiu went to them as soon as he was free, Xu Zhouyin was responsible for taking her to play, and he was paying on the side, which made Tang Xiaoxiao a little crying and laughing.

"You don't know, our night view of Suzhou is a must."

Tang Xiaoxiao and Xu Zhouyin looked at each other and walked forward with a smile, and Yuan Xiu hurriedly chased after them.

"What's wrong? What's so funny? ”

"When did you become from Suzhou?" Xu Zhouyin smiled lightly, "Don't go back, marry a wife in Suzhou and live." ”

"What are you talking about, I mean really, I'll take you to see the night view, Brother Xu, aren't you leaving tomorrow, really don't you want to take a look? If you don't watch it, I'll take Brother Tang alone. ”

I have to say that the night scene of Suzhou is indeed a must, the lights are bright, the stars are dotted, and every house is brightly lit.

"It turns out that in addition to the capital, there are more beautiful places......"

The corners of Tang Xiaoxiao's mouth, which were originally slightly raised, gradually returned to calm, how could he still have the heart to watch the night scene here? So he went back to rest on the grounds that he was unwell. Xu Zhouyin and Tang Xiaoxiao happened to live in the same inn, so he sent them back.

"Do you have something on your mind?" On the way back to the inn, Xu Zhouyin immediately saw that something was wrong with her.

Tang Xiaoxiao sighed: "My brother ...... Dead ......"

"What?!"

She told Xu Zhouyin what happened in the mass grave before, and her eyes turned red unconsciously. I wanted to hug her and comfort her, but I could only gently pat her on the shoulder, Tang Xiaoxiao turned his head to endure the tears that were rolling in his eyes and almost slipped.

"Or ...... Come back to Jiangnan with me? ”

"No, let's do it another day."

Xu Zhouyin's proposal to take Tang Xiaoxiao to Jiangnan for a tour was rejected by her, and he had to go back to pay for the errand, so he had to give up and told her that if she wanted to stay any longer, she could go to Yuanxiu, and left alone the next day, and promised to return to Beijing soon to find her.

After Xu Zhouyin left, Tang Xiaoxiao ordered a table of dishes at the inn and waited for Yuanxiu to go to the banquet, but he did not move a chopstick from beginning to end.

"Brother Yuan, I don't know if I know about my father Tang Zhong's retirement?"

Facing Tang Xiaoxiao, Yuan Xiu didn't know whether he was sorry or wanted to make up for something, so he told Tang Xiaoxiao everything he knew without concealment. It's just that he didn't get any more clues than Mu Xiaozhao from his mouth, but Tang Xiaoxiao's purpose was naturally not only to find out about his father's retirement, but to startle the snake.

Soon, not long after Tang Xiaoxiao returned to Beijing, he attracted Yuan Song's attention.

"Are you saying that Tang Feng is inquiring about Tang Zhong's retirement?" Yuan Song frowned and looked a little anxious, pacing around the room.

"When I went to deliver the futon to the young master before, he said it unintentionally."

"Could it be ......" Yuan Song thought for a while, and after a while whispered something in his subordinates' ears, and then his subordinates left in a hurry.

Not long after, Tang Xiaoxiao was followed again, or even assassinated. She realized that this matter was inseparable from the Yuan Mansion.

Fortunately, she did not forget to practice martial arts in the days of the Hanlin Academy, although her martial arts did not rise sharply, her stealth kung fu was much higher.

At night, Tang Xiaoxiao sneaked into the Yuan Mansion and overheard Yuan Song's conversation with a certain man.

"My lord, you said that if Tang Zhong is not found again, if he specially sent his son to dig out the old case, wouldn't it be very likely that the 'thing' is also in his son's hands?"

"Let you solve him, and after solving it now, won't he let him live well? It's all a bunch of rubbish! He didn't know what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to ask to stay in the Hanlin Academy and not go to Jiangdong to take up his post. ”

"So what now?"

"You still dare to ask me?"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Tang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up and hurriedly leave the Yuan Mansion. All the way, she was thinking about the conversation just now, what was the "old case"? And what is that "thing"? In Tang Feng's hands? But when Tang Feng's body was found, nothing special was found.

"Wait," Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, "The person who assassinated me was sent by Yuan Song, but he said that he was alive and well...... Don't! She suddenly turned around and walked towards the Ye Mansion.

Ye Zhixian, who was sleeping soundly, felt a cold wind blowing, but still pretended to be asleep until he grabbed the man's hand tightly and pulled it in front of him.

"Ah......" Tang Xiaoxiao covered his mouth, and hurriedly lowered his voice and begged for mercy, "It hurts, it's me, Tang Xiaoxiao." ”

Ye Zhixian heard her voice, and only then did he see his face clearly through the penetrating moonlight, and quickly let go of his hand: "Why are you ......" said that he was going to light the lamp, but was stopped by Tang Xiaoxiao.

Tang Xiaoxiao told him about the conversation he had overheard in the Yuan Mansion before.

"My brother isn't dead, at least the body isn't my brother's." She smiled with a sigh of relief, "Great...... He's still alive......"

Ye Zhixian endured his sleepiness and looked at the tears in Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes, and slowly said, "You...... Why...... Late at night...... Climb over my wall? ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xiaoxiao reacted, and he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do, so he quickly wiped away the tears that almost overflowed from the corners of his eyes, looked at his room embarrassedly, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

Ye Zhixian sighed and smiled, being able to climb over the wall of the Ye Mansion so easily, it seems that either the mansion is not safe, or she has made great progress.

Pulling up the scarf, she walked out of the Ye Mansion again.

"I went to him without even thinking about it? Still...... I also went to his room......" Tang Xiaoxiao, who was in a hurry, suddenly stopped, "How will I know his room?" She suddenly covered her mouth, and suddenly remembered the vague impression of the night of the Qionglin banquet, it was the clothes he took off for herself!

Returning to the liao with a bitter face, Tang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, Tang Feng is not dead yet, at least the corpse is not him, it's great.

Two days later—

"Tang editor, Ye is looking for it."

Tang Xiaoxiao heard the sound and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate, Ye Zhixian was wearing an official uniform, a little panting, as if he was in a hurry, and rushed over with the roster in his arms.

"Something went wrong......"

Hearing that Xu Xiaonian hadn't given up on her yet, he was going to come to the Hanlin Academy, Tang Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, just when she was at a loss, Xu Xiaonian was striding towards the Hanlin Academy.

Ye Zhixian suddenly blocked in front of Tang Xiaoxiao, and said in a low voice: "If he dares to touch you, I will protect you." ”

"For ...... What the? She was stunned.

Before Ye Zhixian could answer, Mu Xiaozhao appeared beside them at some point, grabbed Tang Xiaoxiao's arm and looked at her with a smile: "What are you doing?" ”

"Xiao Zhao?" Tang Xiaoxiao looked at her in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"Of course there's something big!"
