Actually, about Xie Chengze, she didn't say everything to Zhang Jie. Of course, the part that didn't say it all seemed important at the moment, and the second was just her whims.

Qiao Ran shook his head self-deprecatingly, his eyes fell on the face of the young man in front of him, Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes were not as ironed as before, but frowned slightly unconsciously, obviously thinking about Xie Chengze.

She was also thinking about Xie Chengze, since she saw the three of them in Jinling, her eyes fell more on Zhang Jie's body, as for Xu Hexiu and Xie Chengze, there were not many times when she paid serious attention in her eyes.

Thinking of this, her cheeks were a little hot, but she was still calm in her heart.

After all, from the beginning to the present, whether it is the first encounter or something else, what she encounters has always been Zhang Jie. And Xu Hexiu and Xie Chengze, compared to Xu Hexiu, who can be seen through at a glance, Xie Chengze is obviously much calmer, and that's not enough for her.

As for when did you start noticing Xie Chengze, after returning from Shanxi Road this time? Or was it earlier? She couldn't tell it clearly, but she inexplicably began to notice Xie Chengze. Of course, there must be some secrets that cannot be revealed to the outside world, and she has no intention of delving into them.

It's just that this time, Xie Chengze was involved, and she couldn't help but pay attention to Xie Chengze, and then she didn't expect that the people around her would also be involved in such cases.

In addition, judging from the few encounters he has had in the past, the ability of the replaced Xie Chengze does not seem to be inferior to Xie Chengze himself.

And Xie Chengze's own ability and means, she is convinced.

In fact, Xu Hexiu and Xie Chengze are not bad, but in comparison, Xu He's cultivation is more simple, and it is simpler than the calm Xie Chengze.

Thoughts flew in his mind for a while, and when he heard a sigh ringing in his ears, Qiao Ran came back to his senses and asked Zhang Jie: "By the way, what about Xiaohua?" ”

Zhang Xie was silent for a moment, looked at her, and said, "If you want to solve the Gu, unless you find the mother Gu, but Cheng Ze, who is very suspicious at the moment, is not there." ”

Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "Is it okay to use my blood?" "She once fell into a Gu, and she used the Gu King of the original family to solve the Gu. Leaving this aside, although her blood is a defective product compared to the original Jiaojiao, the defective product should be able to drag it on.

Zhang Xie didn't speak, only looked at her with complicated eyes, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

In fact, in all fairness, he didn't want her to bleed, and her blood was not as good as Yuan Jiaojiao's ability to detoxify all poisons and ten thousand Gu, in the final analysis, it was just to save Xiaohua's life for the time being.

"A few drops of blood don't matter, I'm not that weak." Qiao Ran smiled and said.

This is also where she is lucky, compared to the original Jiaojiao's dignity, she would rather not, live like a "medicine man", in her opinion, no matter how noble it is, it is just a tool.

Maybe it's the temperament in her bones, she was born as a human being, and she wants to be respected more than as a tool.

Having said that, since returning to Chang'an, it seems that she has not heard any news from the original family, and even the old men of the original family who wooed her before going to Shanxi Road have not appeared since she came back.

Of course, if you think about it, it will only be a few days since she came back, and even if she received the news, it was not so fast.

However, after returning to Chang'an this time, the Jiao and Yuan clans have changed their past style and are much more low-key.

……

After a few days of good sunshine, the polo field back to the park was once again lively. The Heavenly Master Dao Mansion adjacent to it naturally heard the noise coming from the garden again after being silent for a while.

"I thought the snow was going to continue to fall, but I didn't expect it to stop." In the garden of the Jiao family's mansion, several Jiao family masters and the ancestors of the original family were drinking tea and talking.

Hearing another burst of cheers from the garden, the old man of the Jiao family sighed with emotion: "It's a good sign, Jiaojiao's condition has also begun to stabilize, I heard that I can play outside for two hours in the past two days and don't feel tired." ”

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately snorted coldly: "What is the good omen of Jiaojiao compared to that girl's?" Didn't you hear from the Ministry of Works? His Majesty even gave her the waist card of 'I am here in person', which shows that he attaches great importance to her. ”

The originally harmonious atmosphere seemed to cool down all of a sudden.

A moment later, someone spoke up, "What's the solution?" Who made her errand on Shanxi Road so good? The tone was a bit unpleasant.

It was originally a hot potato, but I didn't expect her to do it, although the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught, but the fault of this matter was not her, on the contrary, because she ordered it in time, let Shanxi Road stop the loss in time, and solved the stubborn disease that has plagued Shanxi Road for many years in one fell swoop.

Whether things are done well or not, you can know by looking at the reaction of the people, and when I left, I heard that 10,000 people were sent off, how many officials who went to the outer city to do business could get such benefits?

"I received the news, I heard that the people of Shanxi Road specially made the Wanmin umbrella and prepared to send the umbrella to Chang'an before the year," the old man of the Jiao family, who spoke out earlier, smacked his lips, and there was no mockery in his tone, "I also want to praise her for her good luck like those stupid people, but even people like Zhou Shilin are convinced by her, if she can still be classified as amazingly lucky, it is either stupid or has other plans." ”

"It's not surprising, because that's what she's good at." At this moment, Yuan Zhu, the ancestor of the original family sitting on the stone bench, spoke, "This road is very difficult to walk, her talent on this path is indeed amazing." But there are too many people who want to take this path, she is young, and the light is so bright, sooner or later she will block the way of others. In fact, we don't have to interfere, others will interfere. ”

Originally, they thought about it, and they always wanted to break her wings as soon as possible while she was still fledgling, but later, after a little bit of His Majesty, they understood it.

"As long as we don't do anything wrong, what reason does she have against us?" Yuan Zhu looked at everyone, "As long as His Royal Highness is good, Jiaojiao can be good, Jiaojiao is good, and you and I will always have a place in Chang'an." ”

"But His Royal Highness, his illness ......," the old man of the Jiao family still hesitated, "I'm afraid it's not a long-term solution after all." ”

"Right now, Your Majesty is in the prime of life, don't worry so much, as long as you and I are in the right place on major matters, she can't do anything to us." Yuan Zhu said as he picked up the teacup and took a sip, chuckling, "She may win, but as long as we don't make mistakes, we will never lose." ”

There is a reason why the house has been quiet recently, and those few who were resentful of Jiaojiao did not run to Dali Temple in time to envelop the girl surnamed Qiao after his persuasion for these days, and faintly understood this truth.

Of course, hate is still hate, after all, she was almost killed by Jiaojiao, who can not hate? It's just that right now, compared to the original blind courtship, those few understand that they don't have to stand so early.

Human nature is profit-seeking, and that's what it is.

Another cheer came back to the garden, and one of the old men of the Jiao family suddenly said: "Actually, Your Majesty may have no queen, but Your Highness may not be!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people on the side changed suddenly, and they instinctively looked around, but fortunately, there were henchmen guarding outside the garden at this time, and no one else was present.

The reaction of the crowd was not taken seriously by the speaker.

"If His Royal Highness can survive until he is twelve or thirteen years old and recuperates, he may not be able to have a queen." The old man of the Jiao family rubbed his chin and looked at everyone lightly, "No matter how sick and weak you are, Your Highness is a man after all, not like Your Majesty, no matter how you are in your prime, she is also a woman." ”

Women need to be pregnant for ten months and give birth, and every time they give birth to a child, they walk through the ghost door, although they have not experienced this kind of thing, but they also know it. But if His Royal Highness's body is well adjusted, he only needs to be able to round the room, and the rest will be handed over to the woman. Bibi eBook

Of course, this kind of talk cannot be nonsense. What is this for His Highness? Treating an ordinary person like this will be scolded, let alone His Royal Highness, and if it is spread outside, it will be punished by the Nine Clans.

But spitting is scolding, and this kind of thing has never happened in the royal family. After all, not every emperor can have a good heir.

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the old man of the Jiao family scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, besides, you and I know the body of His Royal Highness, and it's hard to say whether you can survive the age of ten." ”

The old man of the Jiao family, who spoke out first, chuckled, and looked at everyone with some interest: "Maybe I will hold on to it!" ”

The crowd fell silent.

Yuan Zhu also spoke up again at this time: "Jiaojiao said that His Royal Highness's body bones can't last ten years old, and I'm afraid that this son will still fall on the head of the clan in the future." ”

Otherwise, why did Your Majesty leave so many king-crowned clans in Chang'an?

"It's just that the mind of the Son of Heaven is afraid that no one can see through it." "Of course, we don't have to stand in line so early. ”

For now, it's just a matter of watching.

……

Others have the heart to worry about the affairs of the Prince of Heaven, but Qiao Ran, who is an official of Dali Temple, is really not so idle.

After letting Xiaohua drink a bowl of spiced runic water without telling Xiaohua, she saw that Xiaohua continued to happily lie on the cell door and look at the officials of Dali Temple who passed by.

Qiao Ran shook her head suddenly, and said with emotion: "She doesn't know anything like this, but she is happy." ”

After leaving the prison of Dali Temple, Qiao Ran and Zhang Xie sent news from the first-class officials in Dali Temple.

This waited until the Dali Temple was on duty at the time of Youshi, and Tang Zhongyuan came back to report: "The Xie family's mansion has been found, and I have also seen the places that Lord Xie frequents, but I have not found Lord Xie." ”

Qiao Ran instinctively frowned when she heard this: "Don't you even have news from Lord Xie?" ”

Tang Zhongyuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but someone rushed to speak before him: "Yes, there is news of that Lord Xie." ”

Qiao Ran looked up and looked at Pingzhuang, who had hurriedly walked into the lobby from the door.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, and said excitedly: "The guards guarding the city gate once saw Lord Xie go out of the city, and the calculation time should be that Lord Xie left the city after leaving Dali Temple, but no one saw him return to the city." ”

Since Qiao Ran said to this Zhang Tianshi that he wanted to see Master Xie, the officials of Dali Temple were sent out to find people. Tang Zhongyuan followed the team to Xie's house and searched for it in the city, while Pingzhuang followed Xu Hexiu to inquire about the news at the city gates.

Although he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to find Lord Xie, he was still very serious about following his colleagues to do things together, and after receiving the news, Lord Xu immediately wanted to find someone to come back quickly to report to her, and he naturally took over this important task.

Actually out of town? Qiao Ran's face suddenly turned snow-white.

All kinds of signs more and more prove her first inference: there are really two Xie Chengze! And this fake Xie Chengze who eats plum tea seems to really don't want this identity, in this case, Xie Chengze, who eats wine and drinks tea with Zhang Xie but doesn't eat plum tea, is dangerous.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Zhang Tianshi didn't say anything and walked straight out with Master Qiao, Pingzhuang was stunned and hurriedly ran to the backyard to pull the carriage.

In order to hurry, he came back on a fast horse, and now that the three of them were going to the city gate, they could only use the carriage.

Pingzhuang only felt that he was becoming more and more clever under the teaching of Master Qiao, and he couldn't help but be proud, but when he pulled the carriage and rushed to the yamen, he didn't see the two people at all.

"What about Master Qiao and that Heavenly Master?" Pingzhuang asked Tang Zhongyuan, who was still standing at the yamen and seemed to be stunned, with a horsewhip.

Tang Zhongyuan came back to his senses and said to him, "Let's go!" ”

Pingzhuang was stunned and surprised: "How did they go?" Why don't you wait for me? ”

Tang Zhongyuan said: "I rode the fast horse at the door." A horse can only carry two people, and another one will make the horse unbearable. "A man and a woman riding a horse can still be said, two men riding a horse is already eye-catching, if there is another person on the top, I am afraid that everyone's jaws will be shocked.

It's just that if he remembers correctly, the horse looked a little familiar, and he had seen it a few days ago in the square in front of the Hanshan Temple.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Pingzhuang's face suddenly changed: "That's my heavy wind!" Actually ride my heavy wind! ”

These two men didn't wait for him to go down, and they took his horse with him, which was just too much! He has to be careful not to overwhelm the heavy wind when he rides on weekdays, but these two people are good, and the two of them actually ride away his heavy wind.

When was Heavy Wind so docile?

Seeing Pingzhuang scolding and scolding and chasing after the car with a horse whip, Tang Zhongyuan muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that the horse is called Chongfeng, and it looks like a good horse!" "The situation when Fang just left with Zhang Tianshi and Miss Qiao is quite a bit of a miracle style, no wonder Brother Ping is going to run to chase the horse.

Shenjun Chongfeng was full of wind, and in less than half an hour, he caught up with Xu Hexiu, who was dispatching people to find people outside the city.

Seeing the two of them coming, Xu Hexiu, who was full of anxiety, seemed to have found the backbone of the heart all of a sudden, and hurriedly walked over and said, "You two came just in time, I'm afraid that something is going to happen to Chengze!" ”

"Hexiu, calm down!" Zhang Xie stretched out his hand and pressed Xu Hexiu's shoulder to calm him down, and then said, "Taiwei Xie already knows about this, and at this time, he has already passed the book to intercept various checkpoints along the road, and he will definitely not let him go far." ”

Xu He said: "I...... I also know to be calm, but I can't. If I can't find Cheng Ze earlier, I'm afraid that he will be in danger, but it's a pity that there are not enough people to mobilize. ”

In addition to the officials of Dali Temple, he could not transfer the officials of the other ministries and yamen. Unless he is looking for a heinous murderer, or if he has been missing for many days and has a special situation, Xie Chengze, who has not been seen for a few hours, obviously does not fall within this range.

Qiao Ran's inference is just an inference, and no definite evidence is not enough to file a case, and they don't want to put this stigma on Xie Chengze before there is no evidence.

Therefore, at present, the search for people can only mobilize their own manpower to find them.

"Hexiu, let's look for it together." After being silent for a moment, Zhang Xie said to him, paused, and turned to Qiao Ran again: "Ranran, you go to Xie's house to have a look." ”

With her intelligence, she may be able to find clues from it.
