Chapter 122: Walking the Water
After piling up a whole table of "discarded reply plans", Xiang Yeqi finally wrote a satisfactory version, and was about to go to lunch, but found that the full moon was hanging in the sky, and it was already night......
In order not to disturb the maid in the house, she wrote a reply to Yeqi, but no one dared to take the initiative to disturb her, until she took the initiative to open the door to Yeqi: "Hasn't Miss Fengjiao come back yet?" β
It's weird.
Except for the day when the anecdotes were to be released, the bookstore was closed very early, and it shouldn't have been so late that he hadn't returned to the house.
"Did you bring back that Feng Jiao girl? This is really strange, when you went to the bookstore earlier, you came back a long time ago, could it be that Miss Fengjiao doesn't know the way back to her home yet, so it's delayed? The maid outside the door smiled and comforted Xiang Yeqi to be relieved, "Maybe today's business is too good to be busy." β
If that's the case, Xiang Yeqi is really relieved.
But Xiang Yeqian was worried that Han San would continue to pester Miss Feng Jiao, so he specially sent Nan Chen to pick up Feng Jiao back to the house after dark, so the statement that he didn't know the way back to the house was not very convincing to Xiang Yeqi. Besides, if the business is good, it will be the day of the release of anecdotes, and it should be closed at this time.
She was afraid that Miss Feng Jiao would not learn from Wu Zixi, so she was coaxed back in a few words, Wu Zixi She could still help, but if Miss Feng Jiao went home with Han San, then she really had nothing to do......
"Princess!"
Nan Chen ran back in a hurry, bringing with him the smell of burnt wood.
Even if there are a hundred or so jokes, Xiang Yeqi can't say half a word.
This is not the time for quips at all.
"What's wrong?"
Xiang Yeqi didn't wait for Nan Chen to stand firm, he stepped forward and asked, "I didn't ask you to pick up people, what about her?" What the hell is going on? β
"Gone out of the water......"
Nan Chen's face was blackened a lot.
The subordinates were ordered to rush to the bookstore to pick up Miss Feng Jiao back to her home, but when she went, the fire in the bookstore was out of control, and even the houses on the side were implicated in several families. The government sent someone to deal with the aftermath, and the subordinates rushed back first to report to you. β
The smile of the maid at the door gradually disappeared, this is not a trivial matter, if you want to escape in the fire, how good luck does it have to be? What's more, if you really implicate the houses on the side, I'm afraid that even the bookstore will be burned down, let alone the big living people in the bookstore......
Xiang Yeqi didn't have time to change into a dress that was more in line with his identity, so he only gave Nan Chen a clean embroidered handkerchief, and rushed to the outside of the house: "Take me to see." β
At the scene of the fire, there is really nothing to see.
There was black smoke everywhere, and only the broken ruins that had been burned into black charcoal were left at the scene.
When he saw this, he almost couldn't stand still.
She spent countless days and nights repairing and maintaining the painstaking efforts, but it turned into ashes overnight, and just like that, the fire on the side has not been extinguished.
Miss Fengjiao, who she was still admiring her methods and courage yesterday, disappeared into this fire today.
I don't know if it's to laugh at Xiang Yeqi's downfall at this time, Xiang Yeqi just got off the carriage in the blow, and the downpour came without appointment, showing her downfall. Even if someone holds an umbrella, it is still as cold as standing in the rain.
"The owner!"
A shout in the corner brought back thoughts to Nightshade.
This is one of the two long-term workers who stayed in the bookstore to Xiang Yeqi, named Gao Pan, and the other is explaining the details of the water to the government patrol to facilitate the government's investigation.
Nan Chen was just a little smoke, and this Gao Pan was like rolling in a coal heap.
As soon as he saw Xiang Yeqi, it was as if he had seen his reincarnated parents, and it was impossible to tell whether it was teardrops or majestic raindrops rolling down her face.
"Have you seen Miss Fengjiao?" Xiang Yeqi asked.
"See! No, I saw it at first, but she said that she would go back to your house first and leave before closing the store, what are you asking for? β
β¦β¦
Xiang Yeyan felt a little uneasy in his heart, Miss Feng Jiao's style of acting was different from Wu Zixi's, even if she really agreed to go back with Han San in a moment, she would definitely tell herself first, and it would never be possible to say goodbye.
Before she could think of a reliable inference, the official inspector turned his attention to her, and asked slightly: "You are the boss of this bookstore?" Female? What about your husband? β
This series of torture made Xiang Yeqi extremely unhappy.
Only this time, Xiang Yeqi didn't waste her words to argue with the official governor, she took out the jade plate from Bo Zhaoxu's hand, and quietly pinned it to the most conspicuous place on her waist.
lest this man take the initiative to come up and hit himself in the face.
The inspector of the government was surprised that he was wearing something on his waist, and he had to go to such great lengths, as if he couldn't see it! But after he took a closer look, he didn't dare to take a closer look, as if he looked at it more than that, it would dim the brilliance of the jade plate on Xiang Ye's waist.
recognized the owner of the jade plaque, and the attitude of the official patrol suddenly improved a lot: "This case of walking water, the people brought by the lower officials are already investigating, please rest assured." β
"I can trust the ability of a few adults, and this case will be handed over to you......" Before Xiang Yeqi could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of a soul cry on the side.
It was the one she didn't want to see.
At this time, the rain was about to stop, and the fire was completely extinguished by the officials who rushed to it, and Xiang Yeqi also knew that Miss Feng Jiao was not buried in the fire, and everything should have been a good omen.
Except for Han San, who appeared in front of Xiang Ye's eyes at this time, he wiped away the tears that couldn't be squeezed out of the corners of his eyes at all, and lit a small fire in front of everyone.
So he took out a dozen pieces of yellow paper from his bosom, which was the paper money that had been burned to the deceased, and he began to burn the paper under the gaze of everyone.
"Jiao'er, I'm sorry for you! I shouldn't have let you go out and mess around, or you'd be burned to death in this bookstore, Jiao'er! You are young, and you haven't given birth to a boy and a half girl to my old Han family, why are you gone, wow, you leave me alone, how can you live these days...... I'm going to get you justice! β
In and out of the words, there is no place that is squeezing Xiang Ye.
"This manβ" Even the patrol press couldn't stand it, "Princess, do you know this person?" I'm afraid that you're a ruffian and will be falsely accused of you. β
This official patrol is really as discerning, and it can be seen at a glance that this Han San is not a good thing.
It's not that he appeared at the wrong time, on the contrary, this man appeared at the right time, and soon after the fire was extinguished, he rushed over with a brazier, can this still be called a coincidence? Besides, no one mentioned what happened to Miss Feng Jiao, so he thought that his brain made up a scene where Miss Feng Jiao was buried in the fire, which was really ridiculous.
I'm afraid that today's events have nothing to do with him.
Xiang Yeqi gave Nan Chen a look, and Nan Chen stepped forward to put Han San up, obeying Xiang Yeqi's arrangement, this Han San was quite a bit of a scoundrel who planned to die in the net, and he didn't even struggle.
"You're ......"
The powerful used lynching before, it was not ordinary harshness, even if Xiang Yeqi was not such a person, but this patrol press did not know what kind of heart Xiang Yeqi had, let alone what kind of relationship the two had. He only knew that if someone died in front of his eyes, then he would not be able to escape a responsibility.
"Don't worry, what can be done, what will be difficult for you to do after you are done, I know very well, I am naturally not the kind of person who relies on his identity to do nonsense."
Xiang Yeqi playfully held the jade plate on his waist, and I have to say that moving out of Bo Zhaoxu is a very useful method.
"Xia Guan understands that the princess can be a princess, naturally because of her superiority."
"It's a joke, Lord Patrol is willing to believe me, it's better to take this case of going to the water, and the Four Princes' Mansion will personally investigate it, as for the houses on the side, the Four Princes' Mansion will fund the resettlement of displaced people and rebuild the houses."
She felt a little sorry for the small treasury she had saved, but after thinking about it, she couldn't lose the scene! The courage to spend a lot of money on the night is very appreciated by the government patrol.
More is better than less, and there are still people who contribute to soothe the hearts of the people, he only needs to do such a favor, which is really cost-effective.
"The four princesses are really kind-hearted, and it is said that it doesn't matter if you don't care about these implicated houses...... But these people can get relief from you, they really burned high incense in their previous life. Since the fourth princess is willing to do this, then the lower official will leave with someone? β
Xiang Yeren nodded nonchalantly, she didn't care about these people at all.
It can even be said that there are some things that are more convenient for her to do without the presence of these government officials.
"Where did you take Miss Fengjiao?"
Xiang Yeqi put aside those twists and turns in one breath, and directly questioned Han San.
"What are you kidding, my own daughter-in-law, where to take it, and still have to be controlled by you? Besides, I didn't move half of her hair! But you said that I took her away, it's a joke, such a big fire, who can take her away, why, no one is even allowed to mourn? β
Han Sanyi's mouth was puffy.
"You have to tell a piece of evidence in everything, don't you? You can't frame me, a good citizen, just because you are the princess of the fourth prince, then if you want to say that, I really can't do anything about it. If you really don't believe me, I'll take you home to search, if you can find something, I'll kneel down and be your son! β
The family is unfortunate.
Xiang Yeqi didn't realize how annoying his appearance was, but as soon as he played a scoundrel and said that he wanted to "be a son" for himself, Xiang Yeqi couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach, which was simply the most disgusting sentence for her in the past few days. Even if she can turn a blind eye, Bo Zhaoxu is still unwilling to admit such an ugly thing as a son.
