Chapter Twenty-Eight: Chance Encounters Everywhere

It was only a meal before and after, and the officials had already taken the suspect and a few boxes into the front yard of Jingzhao Yin's yamen.

Jingzhao Yin Xingjian happened to be not in the yamen today, and Ji Ran watched several suspects being taken into custody pending trial. He also recorded his confession on the spot, recounted what had happened on the street today, and took his own confession in duplicate β€” almost to say that he would follow the case.

After going back and forth like this, about an hour later, Ji Ran left Jingzhao Yin Yamen and rode his horse again in the direction of Dali Temple.

This time, however, he did not go far, and the horse's hooves had just stepped on the snow when someone rushed up to block his way.

Ji Ran was shocked in his heart, and immediately strangled the reins, and the horse under the seat was frightened and neighed, and before Ji Ran turned the horse's head, he heard an aging voice beside him calling him "Little Master" very affectionately.

Ji Ran was stunned, and turned around on horseback - he recognized the person in front of him, it was He Lian, the elder next to his father.

He Lian is a little older than Ji Ran's father, and now he looks a little old, and the wrinkles on his face are especially obvious when he laughs.

Ji Ran hadn't seen this Changsui for many years, no, it should be said that since he left the He family at the age of eleven, he had never dealt with the He family again.

But in the years when he was under the fence, He Lian was almost the best one in the whole house.

At least when He Yunzhou's continuation finger sang scolded Huai, this long attendant would sneak into the room and cover Ji Ran's ears silently.

During that time, this kind-eyed elder often said, "It will be good when the little young master grows up." ”

Ji Ran looked at the person in front of him, perhaps because of the long-lost "little master" just now, these dusty past events suddenly surged.

But he quickly came to his senses and whispered, "It's you." ”

He Lian smiled, "Yes, the master asked me to come over......"

Ji Ran didn't get off the horse, he still looked ahead with a straight face, and asked knowingly, "What's the matter?" ”

"The lord said, I haven't seen you for a long time, and now that the New Year is approaching, he thinks-"

"If he wants to talk to me about anything, come to Dali Temple to find me." Ji Ran said in a low voice, "We don't have anything to see." ”

"Little master!" He Lian hurriedly grabbed Ji Ran's reins, "No matter what, you can come with me at noon today-if things weren't really troublesome, I wouldn't give up this face to find you, just go back empty-handed, I can't deal with the master......"

"Go back and tell Master He not to waste his efforts." Ji Ran interrupted He Lian's words in a cold voice, "I just detained two cars in the morning, and before the people arrived at Jingzhao Yin Yamen, the housekeeper of Cen Mansion rushed to the scene; At this time, you went out of the yamen, and you moved He Yunzhou out again-since you know that things are troublesome, then don't take risks in the first place. ”

Seeing that Ji Ran was about to leave, He Lian hugged the horse's neck tightly, "You-you misunderstood!" ”

"Misunderstanding what?"

"I really have something to tell youβ€”it's about my wifeβ€”"

Before the words fell, Ji Ran struck the open space beside He Lian with a horse whip, and He Lian was so frightened that he let go on the spot.

"Don't mention my mother." Ji Ran said coldly, he kicked the horse's belly, shouted "drive" and left.

He Lian had no choice, and immediately knelt down in the snow, and he shouted in the direction of the young man, "Please!" Little master! ”

The sound of the horse's hooves was still far away, and the people on horseback had no intention of turning back, He Lian scratched his ears and cheeks a little anxiously, and lowered his head with a sigh.

But after a while, the sound of horses' hooves approached again.

He Lian looked up and saw Ji Ran riding a horse back, "Where did he say he wanted to see me?" ”

"Jade Candle Tower!" He Lian hurriedly said, "The seats are all booked, you can find out when you go and askβ€”β€”"

Ji Ran turned the horse's hooves again, and this time left without looking back.

……

Outside the Jade Candle Building, Xiao Qi held the three thousand years old and entered the restaurant with Huai Qing.

Huai Qing wore a hat, and even when he entered the house, he did not take it off, and he lowered the eaves to cover his white hair and golden eyes.

The Jade Candle Building was full of people and very lively.

"Guest officer, please!" Xiao Er came up to talk enthusiastically, and he glanced at the fox in Xiao Qi's arms with some concern, "...... How many of you? ”

"Both." Xiao Qi was a little absent-minded.

"Okay! Your side, pleaseβ€”"

Xiao Qi was about to take a step, and the three thousand years old in his arms suddenly began to kick his legs and plow the ground.

"That ......," Xiao Qi raised his hand consciously, "We don't sit in the lobby." ”

Xiao Er turned around, "Oh, then you are ......"

"Take me there...... Eh, go to that ......" Xiao Qi thought for a long time, "Where is the most expensive wing room you have here?" ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, "Do you want to go to Yaochi Yuli?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Qi nodded, "Yes, yes, Yaochi Yuli, this is it." ”

Xiao Er immediately smiled, "Unfortunately, Yaochi Yuli already has someone today." ”

"There's already someone," Xiao Qi scratched his face, "Then there's no way, or we-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Michitose began to go crazy again. Xiao Qiyi pinched the back of the neck of the three thousand years old, and a chestnut knocked on its head,

Xiao Er frowned, "You fox...... It doesn't bite, does it? ”

"Don't bite." Xiao Qi picked up the fox again, "...... The person who ordered Yaochi Yuli is here now? If you don'tβ€”"

"It's already here, everyone is sitting in it, it's not good to change it again." Xiao Er said with a smile.

Xiao Qi sank his face, "...... Do you know what my last name is? ”

"I don't know." Xiao Er said, "What's your last name?" ”

"My last name is Feng."

Xiao Er only then heard that the little girl in front of him wanted to blackmail herself, but he was sent to usher in the Jade Candle Tower for so many years, and the dignitaries and nobles he had seen were like carp crossing the river, and it was often clear at a glance which people could be provoked and who could not be provoked - the girl in front of him probably hadn't done anything to bully others.

This momentum ...... It's too weak.

Is the surname Feng another to say, there are many people surnamed Feng in Luoyang City?

In the spirit of not offending anyone, Xiao Er said with a smile, "Everything comes first and comes later, after all, people come early, and we can't drive people away...... However, although Yaochi Yuli has people today, Tianlu Yingyu is empty. Both of these wings are on the third floor, and they are the same except for the different orientations...... I don't think you're here to enjoy the sunset or lanterns today, do you think it's okay to do the latter? ”

Xiao Qi glanced back at Huai Qing, the two looked at each other, and she nodded.

"It's okay, it's just this Tianlu Yingyu." Xiao Qi said softly, "Who is it who is in Yaochi Yuli today?" ”

"It's hard to say, if you want to go and say hello, I can help you ask."

"Forget it, don't bother."

Xiao Qi followed the store all the way upstairs, and before he walked a few steps, he met a middle-aged man, who slowed down when he saw her, and when he approached, he smiled on his face and shouted "Miss Seven".

Xiao Qi didn't recognize this person at all, so he wanted to ask him who you were, but the other party had already hurried downstairs.

The shopkeeper who led the way was stunned, and he looked at Xiao Qi again, "You...... Is it Miss Feng Qi? ”

"Hmm," Xiao Qi nodded in response.

Xiao Er realized the weight of her sentence "My surname is Feng" at this time - she is from Feng Yuan's family!

Xiao Qi looked at the back of the person who left downstairs with some concern.

"Who was the guy you just greeted me? Do you recognize it? ”

"You are really a noble person who forgets things," Xiao Er bowed and said, "That's the housekeeper of the He Mansion." ”
