Mei Xiaoren came out of Ye Mansion and had no bottom in his heart. She wouldn't steal anything at all, even if Ye Zhiken let her get close, even if there was any opportunity in front of her, it would be difficult for her to get it.

She walked to the east of the city, passed by the Shangjing Government Office, and saw that even the gate of the government office was closed now, which was no different from the closed shops in the East Market.

In the past, it was the busiest yamen in Shangjing, and since the ban on the army was noisy, the Shangjing government office has become the most idle yamen.

Mei Xiaoren stood outside the door for a while, walked up the steps, pushed the door and entered.

Although the yamen had nothing to do, Yao Fu Yin governed the yamen effectively, the officials were still on duty on time, and the officials stayed quietly in the yamen, and did not do such a miasma as playing cards and gambling money.

As soon as Mei Xiaoren entered, the listless officials cheered up, and some people called her Lord one after another.

Mei Xiaoren said hello to everyone, and without waiting for Yao Fu Yin to come out, she went straight to Yao Fu Yin's public office.

She closed the door with Yao Fuyin and spoke, motioning for Yao Fuyin to sit down, but Yao Fuyin insisted on standing in front of her respectfully.

Mei Xiaoren didn't hide his thoughts, and showed his heavy thoughts on his face.

Seeing that she was so worried, Yao Fuyin persuaded: "Madame relax, going to Beijing may be in danger, but Madame has made preparations for today before leaving office, once the country changes, they will be able to escort Madame and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out of Beijing safely." ”

"Isn't this a way for His Highness to abandon the country directly?"

"Madam, this is no way, in the past, Madame took out all the money to let the lowly cultivate the government soldiers, but the total number of troops is only 10,000, how can they compete with the 60,000 army, all they can do is to protect Madame and His Royal Highness to break through."

Mei Xiaoren looked at Yao Fuyin and said: "That can only be regarded as a last resort, there are still a few days before the army presses the border, and now there is still a chance to reverse the situation, but I don't know who can do this errand......"

Next.

The East Market is a place where dignitaries and nobles often go, and now the dignitaries are in danger, and the shops in the East Market are closed, but the West Market is different, no matter how worried the officials are, ordinary people have to live, and the West Market is not affected by anything, and it is still bustling at sunrise.

Mei Xiaoren stood behind a window on the upper floor of the tea shop, pushed the window open a crack and looked out, and asked, "Is the person you are looking for safe?" ”

Yao Fu Yin next to him said: "Madame, don't worry, this person is a habitual thief, it is not a problem to pick the lock of the door, and it is even more difficult to steal chickens and dogs in the market. ”

Mei Xiaoren nodded, but the hand hanging by his side curled up slightly, and his heart was uneasy.

She didn't take the initiative to call Ye Zhi over, but it was difficult for her to get out of the mansion, once she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ye Zhi must know that she was betting that he would take the initiative to find her.

She guessed that Ye Zhi's eyeliner was by her side, and she followed her all the way here, and she should be waiting outside at this time.

Mei Xiaoren came in one step later than Yao Fu Yin, and did not expose Yao Fu Yin here, so she told her to find a place to hide, and she was here to wait for Ye Zhi alone.

It was still early, and there were not many guests in the tea shop, Mei Xiaoren picked a table by the window and sat down to drink tea, looking out the window while drinking, and it didn't take long for that figure to really enter her sight.

Mei Xiaoren poured a cup of tea, held the teacup to his lips, and waited with bated breath.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, Ye Zhi was dressed in regular clothes, without his entourage and guards, and came towards the tea shop alone, which was inconspicuous in the crowd.

Just as Ye Zhi was about to walk to the door of the teahouse, a thin man bumped into him head-on.

The man smiled and apologized. Ye Zhi just frowned, indifferently patted the folds on his clothes, and did not embarrass that person.

When Mei Xiaoren saw that he had sent the man into the teahouse, he closed the window and drank the tea silently, pretending not to know who was coming.

After a while, a voice came from her ear, "Xiaomei, why are you here alone?" ”

Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly: "The forbidden army makes the shops in the east of the city dare not open their doors to do business, I want to drink a cup of tea in the market, and I have to come all the way to the west of the city." ”

"What's so difficult about this, as long as you like it, I'll let all the shops open the door for you to do business." Ye Zhi sat down with a smile, took a cup and poured a cup of tea.

"What about the general, why will you come to the West Market?"

"Xiaomei, don't you really know why I'm sitting here?" Ye Zhi asked with a smile.

Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, frowning, "How do I know." ”

"But I know why you're here."

Mei Xiaoren's heart tightened.

Without waiting for her to speak, Ye Zhi's gaze changed, becoming cold, and there was no previous pleasantness. He looked at her and saw that her heart was cold.

Ye Zhi suddenly opened his lips and called: "Bring it up!" ”

The sound of hurried footsteps came from downstairs, and Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to see a group of forbidden soldiers escorting a man upstairs, and quickly brought the person to them.

The forbidden army was menacing, and the guests on the second floor hurriedly went downstairs to leave.

The general arched his hand and said: "General, this is the person who collided with the general just now, and the last general has captured him." ”

It was precisely because Mei Xiaoren had already recognized that it was the thin man who was arrested, that she became more and more silent, and just glanced at it, she looked away as if nothing had happened, and drank tea with heavy eyes.

The man begged with a bitter face: "General...... The general spares his life, the little one, the little one just accidentally bumped into the general, and the little one is blind. ”

Ye Zhi didn't look at anyone much when he heard the report, just looked at her, and asked slowly, "Xiaomei, you don't have anything to say to me?" ”

Mei Xiaoren raised his eyes and looked at Ye Zhi in confusion, "What do you want me to say?" ”

The corners of Ye Zhi's lips raised, "Okay, then you listen to me." He took a sip of tea before he gave a sideways glance and ordered, "Search." ”

The subordinate received the order and began to search the man's body.

Mei Xiaoren sat expressionlessly, and his heart was already up and down. Instead, she must hope that this person has lost his hand now, otherwise there will be endless trouble.

Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, the general really searched for something from the man, and presented his hands to Ye Zhi, "General, look." ”

Mei Xiaoren plucked up the courage to take a look, and what was lying in the general's hand was the talisman, which made her heart sink to the bottom in an instant.

She had to force herself to calm down again, and in the blink of an eye, seeing that Ye Zhi was extremely indifferent in the face of the lost talisman, she understood......

There is no way to find a habitual stealing talisman, although Yao Fuyin recommended a thief who stole things to her, but she didn't have much hope, she was just treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, who knew that it would be so easy to get it...... It can be seen that it is not his ability to steal, but that Ye Zhi is calculating.

"Say, who told you to do this?" Ye Zhi was asking the man, but looked at her.

"There is no one to instruct, the little one is a thief, seeing that the general is well dressed, he wants to ask the general for silver, but he touches such a thing, and the small one thinks that this thing can be worth a lot of silver, so he ...... Shut it down. ”

Ye Zhi raised the corners of his mouth and asked her with a smile: "Xiaomei, do you believe it?" ”
