Ji Xiaozheng said energetically, and took it politely when he heard the words: "Auntie, you also eat vegetables." But he didn't drink it, only took the wine glass in his hand, and continued to tell Xia Jinse the facts of the case.

"After the case was reported last time, now the Nine Princes are investigating, the Nine Princes are acting vigorously and resolutely, never bending the law for personal gain, and they will definitely be able to find out!" Ji Xiao said with a straight face, and there was a bit of respect and admiration for Lan Beichen in his tone.

Calculating the time, it has only been ten days, and there is no news from Lan Beichen's side, so there is no progress for the time being.

Xia Jinse quipped: "Although the case of the Soul Chasing Building has not been solved, after all, it is still a clue discovered by my cousin, and the court has a reward for you?" ”

"This ......" Ji Xiao was a little embarrassed, but he was still a little proud: "My lord praised me for my dedication and conscientiousness, not only will I increase the meal money this month, but also add the tea and soup money." ”

That's an added bonus, right?

Xia Jinse became curious: "How many?" ”

Ji Xiao blushed again: "Not much, not much, two taels of silver." ”

He didn't say much, but looking at his appearance, he was obviously very satisfied, and Xia Jinse had a black line on his face.

worked so hard, bled and sweated, in exchange for a bonus of two taels of silver per month? That Jingzhao Yin Song is really a good use of people, and those who can work hard!

I'm afraid it's not better than Huang Shiren to exploit labor.

Listening to the two chatting energetically, they didn't eat any food, Zhao found an opportunity to insert it, and put a chopstick chicken in Ji Xiao's bowl: "Xiao'er, don't talk all the time, eat vegetables." These are all made by my aunt and mother in the kitchen, you eat more. ”

Didn't you tell it personally, could it be that you cooked it yourself? Xia Jinse glanced at Zhao, and always felt that she was weird today.

Ji Xiao said a few more polite words, put down the wine glass, ate two mouthfuls of food, and suddenly became serious: "Auntie, cousin, you have to be careful recently." Try not to go out if you have nothing to do, and beware of being targeted. ”

These words were serious and mysterious, not only Xia Jinse, but also Zhao was moved: "Xiao'er, what happened?" ”

As she spoke, she handed the wine glass to Ji Xiao again: "Come, talk while drinking." ”

"No hurry, no hurry."

Ji Xiao blocked the wine handed over by Zhao again, lowered his voice and said: "Recently, there is a flying thief in the capital, under the slogan of robbing the rich and helping the poor, but he is doing dirty things, sneaking into the women's boudoir in the middle of the night and doing bad things. ”

Zhao's color suddenly changed, and Mama Wei next to her also exclaimed: "Oh, this is terrible, it's actually a flower thief!" ”

Ji Xiao nodded, and said that this thief came from Jinling, called himself Butterfly Boy, and had many evil deeds, not only robbing money, but also ruining the reputation of the five girls. But because of his good work and good concealment, the government has not been able to catch him.

Later, a wanted list was posted, the whole city was searched, and a trap was set, and the butterfly boy was almost arrested for a while. In the end, he was cunning and escaped, someone had seen him in the Puji Temple on the outskirts of Beijing a few days ago, and now it is estimated that he has been lurking in the capital.

"Really in the capital? Na Xiao'er, you have to quickly arrest this wicked man, otherwise if he does something bad...... "Zhao Shi worried, this kind of flower thief is the most disgusting, not to mention that he ruined his chastity, even if he took a face to face, it would be dirty eyes.

Her two precious daughters must not have an accident!

Ji Xiao nodded: "Aunt don't worry, Lord Song has ordered the whole city to be strictly investigated, even if the butterfly boy hides underground, he will be found out if he digs three feet into the ground." But no one has been caught yet, so be careful. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Xia Jinse and found that she was interested, but she was not afraid: "Cousin, you don't seem to be worried?" ”

Xia Jinse said casually: "Worried, I'm worried." So this responsibility is handed over to my cousin, come on. ”

Looking at her relaxed appearance, why worry? Ji Xiao remembered the scene when Xia Jinse dealt with the people in the Soul Chasing Tower, not only did he remove people's chins three or two, but also made all kinds of intimidations, and he didn't care if he was covered in blood......

You can't underestimate her!

After worrying for a long time, Zhao suddenly reacted that he hadn't done his business yet.

She hurriedly said, "Don't keep talking, Xiao'er, it's rare for you to come to your aunt's place once, don't waste your aunt's heart." These drinks and dishes are prepared for you, and you usually work official business, so eat more. ”

Mama Wei also smiled dryly and urged: "Young Master Cousin, this wine is the osmanthus brewed by the old man, the bottle that Madame specially took from the cellar, it tastes good, Young Master Cousin tastes it?" ”

Why do you always persuade Ji Xiao to drink?

Xia Jinse has always felt that something is wrong with the Zhao family and Mama Wei, but now she found out, could it be that they deliberately wanted to get drunk with Ji Xiao and wanted to do something? Anyway, no good intentions!

Picking up the wine in front of her, she sniffed it and tasted it gently, no problem.

Zhao also had a glass in front of her, she had drunk some before, it seems that the wine is indeed fine, it should be a problem with the wine glass.

Ji Xiao was a little embarrassed: "This, aunt ......"

"Ah, why is the second sister here?" Suddenly, Xia Jinse pointed ahead, looking surprised.

Several people turned around suddenly, really thinking that Xia Ruxue was coming, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Chaiyun had already quickly swapped the wine glasses in front of Ji Xiao and Zhao. A few people turned around, and Xia Jinse suddenly said: "Ah, I saw it wrong, it turned out to be a bird, I thought it was the second sister here." ”

"Jinse, you can see every bird wrong, why is your eyes worse?" Zhao complained to her.

She didn't care about wasting time, and persuaded Ji Xiao to drink, Ji Xiao had to say: "Auntie, you don't know, in fact, I never drink." Drinking alcohol can cause dizziness, confusion, affect judgment, and make mistakes when drinking! ”

Xia Jinse almost applauded Ji Xiao, these days, there are too few men who don't drink, not to mention that he is still a public official!

"Cousin, that's good!" She gave a thumbs up.

Zhao was surprised, she didn't know that Ji Xiao didn't drink?

She's all designed, how can she do it without drinking!

"Xiao'er, you are usually busy with official business, and it's okay if you don't drink, but today you are at your aunt's house, let's gossip, it's not too much for you to have a drink, right?" Zhao directly picked up the wine glass, with a posture that he had to give face.

Ji Xiao really couldn't put it off, so he could only say: "That's good, but aunt, I only drink one glass, not too much." ”

Zhao was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, my aunt just let you taste it, this wine is your uncle's most treasured, and ordinary people can't drink it if they want to." ”

Ji Xiao drank it all, suddenly felt that his throat was hot, and he almost coughed, so he hurriedly drank a few sips of soup.

Zhao persuaded him again, and he said that he would not drink anything.

"Mother, my cousin drank it, and you drank it too." Xia Jinse picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile, "I heard that the second sister and the eldest prince have been very close recently, maybe it's a good thing to be close, congratulations to my mother." ”

Looking at Xia Jinse's sincere appearance, the Zhao family didn't know whether she was sincere or fake, but because of this, she was really happy, and she picked up her wine glass and drank it: "If Ruxue can really marry the eldest prince, I will be satisfied in this life!" ”

"Madame's wish must have come true." Mama Wei said meaningfully.

Who knows, after a while, Zhao felt that his body was hot.

A stream of heat swept through her body, and she was sweating all over her body, and there was an indescribable feeling that made her as uncomfortable as a cat scratch. She moved around, couldn't help but grab herself up, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"I, I want to start something, Xiao'er, Jinse, you sit first, I'll come when I go." Zhao was hot and dry, and she had already guessed something, but she obviously didn't put medicine on her wine glass!

No, you have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be bad to make a fool of yourself.

Seeing the Zhao family fleeing in the wilderness, Mama Wei also chased after her in a hurry, Xia Jinse laughed secretly in her heart, this is called moving a stone to hit her own feet.

Seeing Zhao leave, Ji Xiao was almost seated, and he stood up and left.

Xia Jinse remembered something and asked him: "By the way, Cousin Ji, you patrol the city every day, do you know if there is a shop in the east of the city that sells girls?" ”

Ji Xiao is very familiar with the shops in various parts of the capital, and he opened his mouth to say a few famous ones, there are indeed many such shops, which are basically patronized by housekeepers of large families, and the purchase of manpower, etc., is also registered in the government, which is formal.

"My cousin asked what this was for? If it is said that it is to buy a girl, doesn't the prime minister have it? Ji Xiao asked strangely.

"I'd like to pick a few of them myself." Xia Jinse didn't say so much, "Since Cousin Ji is leaving, I might as well go out with you and go to the east of the city to have a look." ”

"That's okay, it's better for me to accompany you, after all, there are many people on the street, so I can rest assured that I will accompany you." Ji Xiao said.

Xia Jinse didn't shirk, changed his clothes, took chasing clouds and shooting the moon, and went out with Ji Xiao.

Walking along the street all the way, neither of them took a car or a sedan chair, which was too troublesome.

The young lady Ji Xiao usually sees, all of them are gentle and gentle, but most of them fall down as soon as the wind blows, and they have to be supported when they walk, and suddenly a fierce and sassy cousin appears, and they can't help but have a refreshing feeling, and the two of them are quite able to talk.

As soon as the two of them went to the street, the aunts and girls they met along the way all greeted Ji Xiao, either stuffing him with two apples or handing him a bag of eggs, and then walked a street, and Ji Xiao couldn't take it in his hand.

"Ah, Ji Zhutou is here, Ji Zhutou is so handsome today!"

"Ji Zhutou is not on duty? What about today's body, do you want to go to my house and sit? A half-aged woman threw a flattering glance at Ji Xiao.

"Uncle Ji, Uncle Ji is good!" The two and a half old children also jumped at Ji Xiao and asked him to eat the sugar gourd in his hand.

Xia Jinse was surprised, he didn't expect Ji Xiao to be so popular, I'm afraid that he is the legendary friend of women, right? From an eighty-year-old lady to an eight-year-old girl, even men and women are killed!

Ji Xiao greeted everyone all the way, and Xia Jinse could hear from the conversation that it turned out that Ji Xiao was conscientious and conscientious, and he had cracked many cases over the years, and he was still enthusiastic, which was why he was so respected by the people.

After a while, Ji Xiao escaped from the encirclement of many aunts and girls, and took Xia Jinse to the east of the city.

"This Huimin Bureau is good, cousin, go in and have a look?" Ji Xiao pointed to a shop in front of him.
