Chapter 281: The Top of the Food Chain

In just a few sentences, she summed up how reasonable and bold she was, daring to jump repeatedly on Bo Zhaoxu's bottom line, and even make Bo Zhaoxu speechless.

"You woman......"

Bo Zhaoxu hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile, and he had a bit of helpless favor for people: "Maybe if the house can restrain you, it's not your temperament." ”

Xiang Yeyan tugged at his sleeve and said, "You see, I usually don't dismantle your platform, for example, you were in a hurry to get me up from the well just now, not because you were in a hurry to dispose of me at all, but because you were afraid that Yingyan would be so frightened that she would tremble when she saw you, so she would fall me into the well again." ”

"Say less." Bo Zhaoxu's eyebrows were tilted, and he actually "surrendered" to the night qi.

That's it?

The guards on the side all dropped their jaws in shock, and they made such a scary appearance to the night, and this was it? If they are replaced, they will definitely be dealt with by Bo Zhaoxu's military law and experience the most stringent military camp rules.

People are more angry than people.

The guards standing behind Bo Zhaoxu all looked at Ying Yan with a mocking gaze, and the two of them were quietly gesturing their wrists and making a gesture to cut with a knife, which made Ying Yan a little uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips disdainfully, glanced at the man, and asked in a suppressed voice, "What are you talking about just staring at me?" ”

There are not those angry guards in the palace, and when they look at her with such joking eyes, they must be whispering something unruly, and they were injured by Yingyan several times, and their teeth were really swallowed into their stomachs with blood and tears.

Yingyan pinched the joints on his fingers to intimidate the two of them to tell the truth, otherwise they would have to suffer some hardships.

The two of them turned their heads to look at each other sneakily, and pushed each other out very tacitly to face Yingyan's gaze like a storm, so they were not embarrassed.

Ying Yan crossed her waist with some atmosphere, "Don't you dare to say it again?" Then I'll have to tell the queen about your sneaky deeds, and if I'm not mistaken, you two slipped out of the food box from yesterday's vigil - to secretly feed the raccoon slaves raised by Granny Su on the other side of the street! ”

The two of them sighed in their hearts, feeding the cat is a small matter, and dereliction of duty is a big thing!

In the end, the guard with a short bun glared at the people around him, reluctantly stepped forward, and explained to Yingyan in a low voice: "We are discussing, fortunately you are the one who takes care of Niangniang, otherwise if you change someone else, you will be taken down the well by Niangniang's half-coerced and half-begging order, and finally your majesty will bump into her on the spot......"

The long-haired guard nodded approvingly, his face seemed to have just been smeared with a layer of white ash, and he secretly glanced at the "loving couple" on the side, and said, "If it is for us, we should consider how to cut off our hands at this time, so as to reduce the pain as much as possible, so as not to crush your teeth in pain." ”

Ying Yan stared at the two people who made her extremely speechless with disdain, and couldn't help but feel that what the two said was quite convincing, just looking at the palm that Bo Zhaoxu pretended to inadvertently fall on Xiang Ye's shoulder, it was enough to prove how "scheming" Bo Zhaoxu was, and how much he could quietly reveal his possessiveness.

Xiang Yeqi carefully looked around the scene in the courtyard, although it was dim in the moonlight, it was not difficult to see how elegant the courtyard was here, even the flower branches on the side had traces of pruning not long ago, but the dust and dust accumulated under the eaves were enough to prove that this courtyard had been vacant for a long time.

"Where the hell is this?" Xiang Yeqi glanced at it twice, but he still didn't recognize it, and he could only vaguely argue that this place was not far from his house.

Bo Zhaoxu caught a glimpse of Xiang Ye's collar tightening, even if he put his robe on it, so that the night wind would not pour into Xiang Ye's collar.

He took the candlelight from the guard's hand, and carefully illuminated the way ahead to the night: "The old mansion of the Xie family in Juncheng, the son of the Xie family moved out half a month ago and was completely vacant, I sent someone to monitor it for two or three days earlier, and confirmed that no one was stationed here, so I brought people to investigate one or two in person, but unfortunately there was no gain, fortunately, it was me who you bumped into." But where are you from? ”

Xiang Yeqi relayed everything he had seen and heard about the concubine's room to Bo Zhaoxu, and he nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I also guessed that the dry well in the old mansion of the Xie family should be connected to other places, I thought it would lead to the new house of the Xie family, but I didn't expect it to lead to my mansion in Juncheng, it should be a coincidence." ”

"In my opinion, there is more than one connection between these dry wells."

Xiang Yeqi said: "When Yingyan and I went down the well, we found that the light coming through the four sides was not only at the mouth of this well, so there should be other exits, which must be somewhat related." Moreover, Yingyan and I found that many of them were stolen in major cases, and they should all have something to do with the son of the Xie family, if there is still no evidence to seize him as treason, he can be controlled first according to the crime of robbery. ”

Thinking of the scene of the underground being as spacious as a dungeon, Xiang Yeqi felt that the usefulness of the well should not be just to connect two unrelated houses.

Xiang Yeqi's self-confident and unproud intelligence is really gratifying, and it can sweep away the fatigue caused by Bo Zhaoxu's daily travel at a glance.

Bo Zhaoxu let go of the worries in his heart and said, "As soon as I saw Yan'er showing such a look, I knew that I didn't need to bother with this matter, I just had to obey orders." ”

He actually humbled himself to the next one of the nights, and Bo Zhaoxu's subordinates quietly wiped their sweat, and said that the great tyrant above the ten thousand people?

Is there really one more "under one person"?

As everyone knows, Xiang Yeqi is really not a scream, and he stands directly at the top of the food chain as soon as he screams.

Xiang Yeqi pursed his lips and smiled harmlessly, but the flash of light in his eyes was cunning and indisputable, "You're right, my county lord does already have a way to deal with this son of the Xie family." ”

In fact, long before going down the well, Xiang Yeqian had already thought of a way for Bo Zhaoxu to restrict Gongzi Xie in advance.

It's just that Nan Chen appeared very suddenly at that time, and he was treated as an assassin by the extremely defensive Yingyan, and the two fought together, completely breaking off the idea of carefully polishing this plan to Yeqi.

Xiang Yeqi endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, and made a look with Bo Zhaoxu: "I guess our current thoughts should be inseparable, and our actions will definitely startle the grass and snakes, revealing that we already know about the connection of dry wells, so while this matter has not yet shaken out, we will first explore where the other wells lead, and it is easy to grasp in our hearts." ”

Bo Zhaoxu smiled and took the initiative to hand it over: "Then I should say, I have a heart with you?" ”

The guard with long hair just now watched the two jump down the well, and squeezed his eyes with Yingyan in tears and laughter, "Miss Yingyan, now you understand, right?" Your Majesty, he is not unwilling to let Niangniang go down the well at all, he knows how much Niangniang can't hold back his curiosity, he just doesn't want to let us take Niangniang down the well, and he has to do it himself. ”

Ying Yan glanced at him, and sat down by the well muttering: "The Queen Mother is really right, men really don't have a good thing." ”

She really forgot that the queen had also said an exception not long ago, saying that when the person in the well was waiting for Xiang Yeqi, he could be called a good man for the first time, and he would even "compete for favor" in front of Xiang Yeqi.

As for others, I'm afraid that the evil ghosts under the eighteenth layer are more humane than him.

Downwell, Bo Zhaoxu didn't hear what words came down under the faint echo on the well, but he only remembered that he even had to raise his hand to block the gravel that he stepped on when he jumped down, which can be said to be extremely considerate.

Xiang Yeqi had been to the well once, and he could be said to be more familiar with the road than Bo Zhaoxu, so he took the candle lamp in Bo Zhaoxu's hand, illuminated the road in front of him, and laughed with Bo Zhaoxu: "Yingyan said that there are many things in the palace here, and she has been a handyman in the palace for several years, so I know that you have lived in the palace for many years when you were a child, and you should be able to see a few familiar things." ”

Even she recognized a few stolen Buddha statues that were once famous in Beijing, and hung them on the notices for years, but there was still no movement.

But Xiang Yeqi never figured it out, it was forgivable to steal valuable things and hide them here, and stole Buddha statues with meanings that outweigh values, so why hide these things in the dark and not see the light of day?

Could it be that Gongzi Xie wants to use this to suppress his sins, and find a solace that overrides psychology?

In order to give Xiang Yeqi a little response, Bo Zhaoxu really slowed down and looked at the belongings piled up around, and smiled bitterly: "It's really a lot, but there are too many precious things in the palace, and even I haven't noticed that they have been stolen for a long time, and the right should have been taken away." ”

"That's true, I don't know why those female officials in the palace are so partial to me, and they will send a new pair of jewelry every other day, don't these people need to rest? If I lose a set coldly, I may not be able to find out in time, and I may have to wait until when I use it to realize that I have lost something. ”

Xiang Yeqi suddenly remembered that most of those female officials had responded to Bo Zhaoxu's wishes, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but found that Bo Zhaoxu had stopped in place for a while.

She was caught off guard.

She and Bo Zhaoxu often didn't need to explore too deeply to get a glimpse of each other's thoughts at this time, quietly carrying a candle lamp to the night, and squatting in front of Bo Zhaoxu, so that he could see the scene in front of him clearly.

"Did you see your old things?"

"Let's not."

Bo Zhaoxu squatted down gently, and picked up a hosta with beaded powder in his right hand, the hairpin was engraved with a begonia as delicate as a real flower, and the hairpin was engraved with a line of small characters that had been blurred by the years.

"This hairpin is my mother's favorite before her death, if I remember correctly, it was my father who asked a famous craftsman to call her in the year she entered the palace, and it is also the craftsman's swan song, she has been precious for half her life, and she has never seen it since she was sick, and she has no power to find it."
