"Mr. Xu took care of your affection, but it seems that I spent a little money to raise a fat, white and delicate pig, endlessly fattening and eating meat, how shameless, then where do I want to find my morality?"

Whether it is a hard knife and a soft knife, or a soft knife is hard to grind.

Miss Xie is very good at this.

Xu Qiubai, who knew that he was being scolded, was speechless, and finally sighed, "That's really sorry Miss Xie." ”

"It's okay, I forgive you. Just there won't be a next time, maybe should I? ”

It is so straightforward, reasonable, and gentle and elegant.

To Shang Ming's pretending to be unreasonable but actually serious and gentle eyebrows, Xu Qiu bowed his face, and finally treated it like a very precious book, and said seriously: "Naturally, it won't." ”

Everyone on the side was dumbfounded.

This.... For the first time, I think this makes sense for a life-saver?

In fact, it didn't take long, after all, the fight below had already begun, and the results were soon seen.

After the sound of the guards and others outside the door, after Ming Jin's head was bowed, Zhang Qingrui immediately ordered the Li family to open the door.

As soon as it opened, the Li family was suppressed.

Outside, there were dozens of guards in armor, the armor was stained with blood, and the blood was not gone.

————————

The first thing Ming Jin asked was the situation of the secret guards who led people in the middle lane before.

There were casualties, but they were not all wiped out, mainly because after Jiang Yuandong found out that he had been fooled, he was unwilling to spend time on them and took away most of them, which gave these secret guards a chance to live, but they also killed one person in battle.

Ming Jin frowned, lightly pressed the center of his eyebrows, lowered his expression, and did not mention the bereavement reward when the Li family was there, only asked about the results of the battle below.

"Escaped?"

Ming Jin learned of this result from the mouth of Peony and others, but it was not particularly surprising.

After all, Jiang Yuandong is a brave and fierce general, and he is ruthless, even if he is surrounded, after his subordinates do their best to defend and fight to make a hole, he still takes advantage of the chaos to escape.

Even if it is a battle with a huge disparity in strength on the battlefield, it is extremely difficult to completely annihilate the opponent.

"It doesn't matter if you escape, it's not easy to keep people in the mountains."

Ming Jin asked about the situation of the Xie family again.

"I was a little frightened, but fortunately, the notice was timely, and they all gathered to protect it, and according to your meaning, now the third lady has arranged a lot of people around them, even if the Jiang thief is not afraid."

Ming Jin's face was much more relaxed, he thought for a moment, and said: "Since Lord Dong led the city defense army to chase the rebels, you will cooperate with the people in the yamen of Ye Junshou to escort the people in the city down the mountain, and I will be with Mrs. Li and them later." ”

The purpose of the guards was only to escort her, and they were there anyway, so they naturally obeyed.

——————

On the side of the main hall, Xie Mingyue and the others were quite anxious, and their expressions were not good-looking, in this hall, Ye Qisi and other nobles, Xiao Yu and other sons were all palpitating.

From learning that there were thieves in the stream, to bringing people into the mountains in the Eastern War, to all of them being forcibly controlled in this main hall, they currently know very little, and they have also experienced the feeling of being involuntarily.

"Brother, you won't let us stay here forever."

Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask Xiao Ji, but the latter was much calmer and said, "Even I can only stay here, what do you have to complain about?" ”

He has an official position, but he is not an official position under Wuling, and he has no authority to adjust and mix, so when Dongzhan asked him to avoid it, he also agreed.

Xiao Yu was deflated and muttered: "That Eastern War is too faceless, but the Xie family..."

"The Xie family is here, which one do you want to ask?"

"I didn't want to ask which Xie Mingjin was, what does it matter to me whether she lives or dies!"

"I didn't say anything about her."

“....”

Xiao Yu's face was swollen and red, glaring at Xiao Ji angrily, the latter was idle, sitting on the chair, his fingers couldn't stop knocking on the armrest, and he didn't care about the noble girls in Wuling peeking at him, the monks in the hall sent tea, and only drank half a cup, he heard movement outside, and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm back."

————————

The closed door of the hall was open, and seeing that Ming Jin had returned alive, the Lin family checked Ming Jin up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that it was okay, and also asked Ming Jin what arrangements he had made next.

"Let's wait for To-sama to return."

Ye Junshou is the head of the Wuling Judiciary, but it is impossible to go here in person, and Dongzhan is still responsible for the investigation and arrangement.

Ming Jin did not use the Xie family's power to act as a substitute, but only arranged for the Li family to be in the side hall next door with the guards and Xu Qiubai in a low-key manner.

Zhang Qingrui, who was in the side hall, saw Ming Jin pulling the Lin family at the door of the main hall and whispering to the Xie family's guards to do things, and heard that the maids around him were curious about why they didn't arrange them to the main hall together.

"Probably because she didn't want to expose it to the public, we helped her."

"Huh?"

"Miss Xie is a thoughtful and benevolent person." The old lady sighed.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law glanced at each other.

Although the Xie family is powerful, there is no one in Wuling who does not want to climb the door, let alone the grace of rescue, but the Li family is just a businessman, the foundation is too shallow, and the loss of children and pregnant grandchildren, what about the family wealth, the old couple of the Li family can't afford to toss, and it is not a good thing that the limelight is too prosperous.

Treat the Li family benevolently and properly, and treat Xie Mingyue and the others may not be, Ming Jin dealt with a lot of things outside before entering the hall, and as soon as he entered the hall, he met Xie Mingyue's burning gaze.

"Scared?"

Ming Jin took the tea handed over by the maid and asked her gently.

"How is it possible, I won't be scared."

"It's amazing, I'm scared."

Xie Mingyue was inexplicably angry when she saw her teasing like this, and said angrily: "There are more people around you to protect you, so you won't be scared." ”

Ming smiled lightly, but was silent.

Seeing this, Xie Mingdai and Xie Zhilin swept their eyes over the clothes on Ming Jin's body, and their expressions were slightly complicated.

She was assassinated.

And the situation must have been dangerous at that time, otherwise how could the blood stain get on her body.

————————

When he came back from the Eastern War, he found that everything was in order on the side of the main hall, and he knew that Xie Mingjin was back, and he strode into the hall with his sword held high, and his eyes swept away.

"To-sama, what's going on next?"

Ye Qisi took the initiative to come forward, and Dongzhan had to pause and replied: "The gangsters have been cleared, but the thief has fled away from the mountain, and he is still being investigated, but the county guard is already on the way to come." ”

"Father? Is he coming? That thief is fleeing, will it...."

"No, there are a lot of guards around the county guard, so Miss Ye doesn't have to worry."

Dongzhan had just entered the hall, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of Xie Mingjin, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, and then at Ye Qisi, who was anxiously worried about his father and had red eyes, and couldn't help but comfort her.

The Ye family's mother, Wang, couldn't see that this concubine was taking the lead everywhere, but she was also unwilling to surrender her identity, so she only looked at it coldly, but her daughter couldn't hold her breath, and asked Ye Qisi not to pester Dongzhan and delay him to deal with important matters.

"I... I was in a hurry just now, worried about my father's safety, my sister must not be angry, I will get out of the way. ”

"I'm sorry, To-sama."

Dongzhan frowned, and glanced at the eldest lady of the Ye family lightly, "Second Miss Ye is just worried about Lord Ye's safety, it's okay." ”

Then he saluted with the Wang family and informed Ye Junshou of the situation, and after the Wang family learned about it, he did not entangle.

After Dong Zhan finished reporting to his wife and daughter, he came to the Xie family.

But he walked to Ming Jin.

He saw her close her eyes and rest, thinking about whether to speak, and when she was half-loud, Dongzhan still opened her mouth and asked in a deep voice: "Miss Jin, do you know why those thieves came?" ”

He asked sharply, causing the people in the hall to look sideways.

Ming Jin opened his eyes, put his fingers against the corners of his eyes, stroked them, and quietly looked at Dongzhan without speaking.

Dongzhan couldn't help but ask again: "Miss Jin, do you know why those thieves are this time..."

His eyes and tone were a little tentative, as if he was sure that this group was coming for her.

"What do you want to say?"

Ming Jin interrupted him, just with a faint word.

Dongzhan narrowed his eyes, "I just want to find out what happened today." ”

"The thieves are the enemies of the whole country, and what they are trying to do, you can just ask those living mouths yourself."

Dongzhan was so choked that he had nothing to say, and finally could only say: "Thank you for reminding me, I will inquire about the purpose of this group of thieves." ”

After speaking, he turned around and went out to inquire about those few living mouths, but heard Ming Jin suddenly speak behind him.

"Wait."

"Is there something wrong with the girl?"

He noticed that Ming Jin's face was a little solemn, as if he remembered something very important.

"Where is the little marquis of Mingchang, have you seen it?"

She had just arrived here and arranged some things, but she always felt that she had forgotten something important, so she closed her eyes and thought about it, and she remembered when she was mentioned by the Eastern War about the target of the other party's attack.

Most of the valuable assassination figures in the mountains are here, but one Zhao Jinghuan is missing.

This made her vaguely uneasy.

Dongzhan was stunned, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and without saying a word, he rushed out with a knife, and sent a group of people to follow him outside to search everywhere.

Seeing Dongzhan's reaction, Ming Jin knew that the other party's men and horses had never seen this little marquis at all, and she thought about the most important points, and her expression was cold, so she asked people to go out to find out.

"Girl, if we leave, then your side is in danger..."

Seeing that these guards still insisted, Ming Jin said in a deep voice: "If Zhao Jinghuan dies here, will you explain that the Changhou Mansion will think that it is my hand?" ”

Only then did the guards suddenly realize the danger.

"Then Jiang Yuandong has left, it is enough to leave some people, even if he kills back, it will not be too much time."

"Go quickly!"

Because of the haste of the incident, Ming Jin didn't have time to avoid the other people present, and after a few words, Xie Mingyue understood something and didn't dare to speak.

After the guards came out in groups, there was probably only a cup of tea, and one of the guards came to report.

Not good news.

Zhao Jinghuan died.
