Chapter 145: Apologizing is useless

Xiao Chen looked back slightly, glanced at Xiao Jin with disgust, and said, "No, you can stay honest." ”

After speaking, he pulled Nan Jinyu away, and didn't even leave him a back.

"Hehe, hehe, my brother obeys."

Xiao Liuli's appearance undoubtedly made Xiao Jin confused, he sat back on the soft collapse in embarrassment, and continued to eat without changing his face.

"Look, what did I say to you before, I'm really disgusted now, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Jin didn't react much, King Xian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and slowly continued to eat snacks and listen to music.

The Xiao royal family is not very prosperous, so far there are only ten princes, and all of them are underage, so there are not many candidates who can join forces......

"Uh-huh, look at what the fourth brother said, it's as if someone in the third brother's place can get a favor!"

Xiao Jin said disapprerovingly, although he still had a smile on his face, he looked like he was annoyed.

"It's the same, drink and drink, hahahaha......"

King Xian interrupted with a smile and turned his attention back to the feast.

Outside the county office.

Xiao Chen led Nan Jinyu to wander slowly on the street, the sky was already dark, but there were shadows on the roofs around him, and he looked a little infiltrating.

"This cat came out early enough, it's not dark yet, right?"

Nan Jinyu looked around and pointed out.

"The wild cats in the countryside are naturally not as good as those in the city, and they will come out to look for food at night, otherwise it will be difficult to survive."

Xiao Chen didn't even raise his eyelids, and his tone sounded quite casual.

"So there is still such a statement? It's me who is lonely and unheard. ”

Nan Jinyu raised her forehead, this demon can really make up any reason, and the nonsense comes as soon as she opens her mouth, and sure enough, she is too naΓ―ve.

"Or else? People die for money, birds die for food, where is there anyone who works for no reason? Birds and beasts are like this, and cats are no exception. ”

Yubai's fingertips tapped her forehead, and her gaze stayed on the fast-moving figure at the end of the alley, pretending not to see anything.

Anyway, he can't learn it, but it's okay to pretend to be a color fan......

"What His Highness said is very true, it is Xiao Yu who is shallow in learning, and His Highness is smiling."

Nan Jinyu joked seriously, no longer paying attention to the excessive and obvious shadows around her, and only thinking about what she could do recently.

The road is long and mostly mountainous, and if she doesn't want to die of boredom, finding some work is the best way to pass the time.

Dozens of meters away, the two of them walked for nearly half an hour, and if it wasn't for the closing of the shop after dark, they might have continued to wander for a while.

"Here we are."

The Wanhualou next to the post station is brightly lit, and it is a little lively.

Nan Jinyu stood at the gate and squinted for a while, then turned around and followed Xiao Chen back to the room.

Bang!

As soon as the door was closed, Nan Jinyu was startled, there were four people standing neatly in the room, and the shadow guards were all together.

"What did you find?"

Xiao Chen walked to the window, extinguished the candlestick against the window, stopped at the corner of Wanhualou to take a look, and walked back quietly.

"The streets of the market are prosperous, and all the medicinal herbs you ordered to buy have been bought, but the prices are slightly higher, and they are a little ridiculously high."

Ye Mei took the lead in speaking, this small county town was just a lower county, and I didn't want this price to catch up with Yanjing, and the money was spent like flowing water.

"How outrageous?"

Xiao Chen glanced at him, and immediately a list was presented, and the detailed prices were clear at a glance, "It's really not low, are the people of Fufeng County so rich?" ”

"Back to the master, it is impossible to talk about wealth, ordinary people dress in general, there are few rich and noble families, even if there is nature, it is not as high as Yanjing, I think it is an inflated price."

After thinking about it, Night Charm replied seriously.

"Not only are prices high, but my subordinates have found out that this year's floods have also affected Fufeng County a little, and many people sell their fields in exchange for food, and look at this place is not as peaceful and contented as rumored."

Yebai answered, his gaze resting on Tsing Yi beside him.

"Those who sell the fields are families with family backgrounds, and those who do not have family backgrounds have sold their daughters to Renyazi, the slave market in Fufeng County is very prosperous, and the Qinglou wine shop is also very lively."

Tsing Yi said angrily, this is obviously a poor county, there is neither good industry nor good agriculture, why can it stand tall in the lower county all these years?

"What about the county government? What's out of the ordinary? ”

Xiao Chen glanced at Night Shadow, and saw that he was in a daze, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Night Shadow, come back to your senses." ”

"Ahem! The master calls you! ”

Night Charm raised her hand and gave him the back of the head, although the shot was not heavy, but this action seemed to be enough to provoke the other party.

I didn't want the night shadow to come back to his senses suddenly, and saw that the person who beat him was the night ghost, but his reaction was only stunned, and there was no sign of anger, "If you go back to the master, there is nothing abnormal in the county government." ”

"Didn't you? Are you sure? ”

Xiao Chen frowned, the county order that can arrange eyeliner all over the entire Fufeng County, can he be innocent and can't find out anything?

I have to say that this news is simply incredible!

"OK ......"

Night Shadow nodded, and said while recalling the places he had walked: "Except for the dungeon, all the places in the county government have been checked, and the dungeon in Fufeng County is a water prison, and it is unlikely that the silver and jewelry will be hidden, and I didn't go to see it because the time was tight." ”

"Water dungeon?" Xiao Chen seemed to think of something and groaned.

"Yes, the water prison, the water drawn from the tributary of the Yellow River next to Fufeng County, I heard that this prison has been vacant for some years, and even the guards often eat and drink outside to pass the time, I don't think it can be fake."

Nightshade answered truthfully, not feeling that there was something wrong with what he was doing.

"A tributary of the Yellow River? Is there a Caoyun business in Fufeng County? ”

Nan Jinyu suddenly heard something terrible, and a map appeared in her mind.

The reason why Fufeng County is poor is because it is surrounded by mountainous areas and agriculture and animal husbandry are underdeveloped, and many young people went north to Yanjing to work or do business in their early years, and gradually developed.

"Back to the county lord, no. Although there are tributaries of the Yellow River in Fufeng County, the waterways are rugged, and the water level on the banks is increasing year by year. ”

After Night Charm finished speaking, she also glanced at Night Shadow, with a look that I don't need to thank me for helping you, but she did it quietly in front of everyone.

"I see."

Nan Jinyu nodded, thinking of the clothes embroidered by Lord Zhu in Fufeng County today, and suddenly understood something.

"Did you guess?"

Xiao Chen unfolded the map on the table, drew a circle around the location of Fufeng County, and then circled the adjacent counties downstream.

"Naturally, it's too easy."

Nan Jinyu nodded, and with a stroke of the pen, she circled several counties downstream in a larger circle, and the handwriting was very untidy, and she didn't play cards according to the routine at all.

"This ...... Dare to ask what the county lord paints? ”

Night Shadow is a little confused, what kind of dumb riddle are the county lord and the master playing?

"You look at the topography of Fufeng County, and then look at the downstream, what do these counties have in common?"

Nan Jinyu followed the path of good temptation, and easily marked the height difference of the mountains and rivers on the title map.

"Oh my God......"

Tsing Yi covered her mouth and looked at Nan Jinyu in horror, seeing her nodding, her tongue began to knot in fright.

She learned a lot of things with the girl on weekdays, such as the drawing marking or something, and now when she looks at the terrain map drawn by the girl, she immediately guesses the problem: although Fufeng County does not have Caoyun, but the downstream counties are all Caoyun counties, not only oil and water are also extremely rich, if the flood in Fufeng County is not prevented, the consequences are ......

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Tsing Yi, you can say it! ”

Yebai cried with a baby face, and when he looked so big, he felt that he was too stupid, and he even knew something that the little cutie in Tsing Yi knew, but he had no clue!

"Fufeng County has increased its dikes year by year and moved the main city to the north of the tributaries, if the flood is not prevented, where do you think it will suffer?"

Tsing Yi doesn't sell Guanzi either, and explains by himself.

"This ...... It is a few counties downstream! ”

Yebai suddenly realized, his frightened look was not as cute as usual, and he didn't know whether he was scared by this conspiracy theory or scared by Tsing Yi, anyway, his face was extremely bad.

"So Fufeng County doesn't have to do anything over the years, just raise the embankment year by year."

Tsing Yi nodded, and after feeling the amazing eyes from his colleagues, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

This is probably the reason why the girl said that reading more will never suffer, right?

"No wonder Fufeng County is getting richer and richer, and it is a shame to take too much black money without conscience!"

Night Shadow said with a dark face, his gaze stayed on the map for a moment, and said, "It's just that if that's the case, the county government should be tired, am I not checking carefully enough?" I'll go to the water prison again at night. "A thousand books

"That's not necessary, since the water prison is the water of the Yellow River, it will definitely not hide the gold and silver there."

Nan Jinyu bent the corner of her lower lip and gave Tsing Yi an appreciative look.

The things she taught Tsing Yi and Green Shoots on weekdays, they obviously applied what they had learned, and in the long run, these two girls were also great talents......

"Why? What if? ”

Night Shadow couldn't figure out Nan Jinyu's thoughts, and she didn't dare to speculate, so she simply asked bluntly.

"No case, the guards can often go to the place where they drink and play cards, and they won't hide the greedy money, isn't this outrageous than whether there is a secret door in Lord Zhu's bedroom?"

Nan Jinyu held her forehead, thinking that there should be a limit to selling Guanzi, so she only said half of the joke.

"What the county lord said is reasonable, so where will this stolen money be hidden?"

Night Shadow was stunned, since he became the leader of the shadow guard at the age of twelve, there have been countless tasks, big and small, and there have been times when he made mistakes, but there are really not many things like this clueless today.

"The county government."

Nan Jinyu replied naturally, took a sip of a cup of tea, and said, "Look at what has been added to the county office, and the stolen money is in it." ”

"Pixiu!"

Night Charm was stunned, and when she saw Xiao Chen's relieved smile, she knew that what Nan Jinyu said was true.

"Oh my God!"

Yebai was a little suspicious of his IQ, and for the first time felt that the title of the shadow guard's little clever ghost was about to be lost.

"There it is!"

Tsing Yi opened her mouth, she was still not as careful as the girl!

"Uh......"

Nightshade rubbed her eyebrows, wondering if her brain wasn't enough.

"That's right, it's not early, you all go back and rest, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Xiao Chen put the map on the table into the furnace and burned it out, and then he opened his mouth to drive people away.

"Yes! Subordinates and others retire! ”

Everyone answered neatly, and disappeared without a trace in a puff of smoke.

It wasn't until the sound of the door locking sounded that Nan Jinyu realized that there were only two of them left in the room, and she couldn't figure out the situation a little.

"Your Highness, will Ming'er leave?"

Now that you know the motive of the other party's crime, you just left? That's not his style!

"Hmm."

Xiao Chen nodded, knowing what she wanted to ask, and hooked his finger at her.

Nan Jinyu's ghost made the gods get a little closer, and said innocently: "Does Your Highness have something to say to me?" ”

"I'm hungry."

The scarlet lips opened lightly, and slowly spit out three words, Nan Jinyu's scalp tingled like a lightning strike when she heard it, but she found that she didn't even have a way out.

"Hungry, hungry? What do you want to eat, I'll go and make you some? ”

Nan Jinyu blinked, trying to keep her composure.

She doesn't know why he doesn't care about the ink corruption case in Fufeng County, but if she doesn't escape at this moment, her own life may be in danger, but it is inevitable......

Compared with the two, she chose to hide first!

"Forget it, it's getting dark, just let the kitchen send some noodles over."

Xiao Chen saw that her face was tired and couldn't bear to ask her to go to work again, so he ordered the people outside the door instead: "Let the kitchen send some supper, no cakes." ”

"Yes, master, you wait a moment."

Nightglow turned away and yawned and went downstairs, only to bump into a shinobu around the corner.

"Ahem! It's me. ”

Nightshade covered his mouth just in time, suppressing the easily noticeable screams, and his voice was muffled.

Night Charm slapped his hand away and raised an eyebrow, "Huh? ”

"Thank you for rounding the field for me, otherwise the county lord will probably hate me again."

Nightshade thought about it again and again, but still felt that she should thank him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Night Ghost looked at him with a ghost, but found that Night Shadow's face was full of sincerity, and suddenly he felt like he was walking on the night road and hitting a ghost, and he was almost angry.

"And last time, at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, you blocked a palm for me, and I think it hurt a lot, but if you don't talk to me, I'm embarrassed to ask you, are you okay now?"

Night Shadow said a little hesitantly, his eyes drifting around and he didn't dare to look at Night Charm, for fear of saying the wrong thing and being disliked, after all, this guy hadn't paid attention to him for a long time.

"Who did it for you? Could it be that the leader has hysteria, and what plot has he come up with? ”

Night Charm raised her eyebrows lightly, with a bit of mockery on her overly bewitching face.

can be misunderstood that he likes the girl in Tsing Yi, this idiot is not a person worth talking to, and he thought that although this guy was wooden but not to the lips, obviously he was wrong before!

"No, isn't it?"

Night Shadow silently nosed, thinking of the fact that he was looking for a house for himself before, and said, "Then what about you find a house for me?" Isn't it for the sake of years of brotherhood......"

"Who is your brother? Isn't the boss stupid because he has been idle with fewer tasks lately? We are colleagues and we are in a competitive relationship. Besides, when I bought the house at the bottom price, it was a haunted house, and I was afraid that I couldn't sell it in my hand, so I simply sold you at a low price. ”

Nightshade interrupted him impatiently, and her bewitching face darkened.

I didn't bother to listen to him talk about everything, all are brothers, but I misunderstood you and the girl in Tsing Yi, don't take it to heart, he probably can't stand the itching of his hands, and wants to kill people and kill his mouth until it's over!

"Oh...... Don't sell! ”

Nightshade was stunned for a few seconds, then simply rejected him neatly.

"Not for sale? Then you can buy it yourself, anyway, you only make money and don't lose money, and you are not afraid of any haunted house and bad luck, forget it, what do you do with you, I'll go to the kitchen! ”

Nightshade felt annoyed, waved her hand and turned to leave.

"Don't go!"

Seeing that he was about to slip away again, Nightshade grabbed the person with his backhand and pushed him against the wall.

Boom!

The muffled sound attracted the guards next to them, and the kind of people saw that it was Night Shadow and retreated, selectively ignoring the Night Charm in the corner who was pressed against the wall, and his face that had been disgraced by shock.

"Your uncle, Nightshade!"

Night Charm grinds his teeth, every year's guards are more than him deliberately let him, after a long time, will this fool think that he is really invincible in the world?

Didn't he just practice a boy's skill, what's so great!

"I don't have an uncle, don't be angry, it's not too late for you to go over after we finish speaking, the master wants a supper, not dinner, don't worry."

Nightshade corrected him calmly, and a slight smile appeared on Poker's face.

Sure enough, what Yebai Boy said was right, just take the initiative to admit his mistakes, they all licked blood and took care of each other to this day, and the brotherhood of so many years will not fade because of a few casual quarrels......

"Poof! You let go of me, I can't breathe! ”

Night Charm laughed angrily at him, and was a little helpless, this tenacious guy, raised his hand to remove his hand that was tugging at his collar.

"Oh, does it hurt?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Which one hurts?"

Saying that the night shadow was about to start again, he was rolled up to the sky by a roll of the other party's eyes, and slapped his paws away by the way, warning: "If you dare to touch me again, I will chop off your hand!" ”

"Well, then I won't touch it."

Nightshade withdrew his hand at this time, thinking with palpitations that this kid really had a big temper, but he was not happy if he dragged him harder?

"Don't you have something to say? Hurry up! ”

Night Charm suddenly felt a little pain in his head, to put it bluntly, this wood is probably just a piece of wood, he saw through it anyway, and he left him to fend for himself!

"Oh yes! That time in the firearms camp, I misunderstood you, Yebai boy told me, you only take care of your sister like that to Tsing Yi, you don't mean anything else, I can't help you, don't take it to heart......"

Night Shadow felt that he was sincere in his words, after all, the apology that Yebai wrote to him was crepe, and it didn't seem like he could say it himself, but it seemed insincere.

"Don't mind! I can't stand your serious apology, it's just a misunderstanding, why bother? ”

Night Charm hooked the corners of her lower lip, her bewitching peach blossom eyes squinted, and her hands itched to kill.
