Chapter 16: The Dawn of the Ten Thousand Watts (2)
But Yang Xi actually didn't react.
In the past, he would definitely refute this kind of thing, but today he is really at the limit of his energy, and he can't devote a lot of energy to dwell on this senseless thing.
Therefore, Yang Xi just handed over the cup in his hand: "Do you want tea?" ”
Yang Xike doesn't often let things go, Song Zhishu was flattered, took it happily, poured it down, and then like Yang Hanxing, his whole face wrinkled: "Why is it so bitter!" Yongxiu, how many years older am I, how can you wait for an opportunity to take revenge because I said a few words to you, you weren't such a person before......"
"But we are on the same list, I am the second and you are the third, according to the rules of the field, you have to call me a senior brother."
Yang Xi retorted to him.
In fact, Yang Xi originally had no other thoughts, but just wanted to block Song Zhishu's mouth, and Song Zhishu suddenly moved his mind when he mentioned this.
Yang Xi asked him, "Brother Wen Yuan has tasted what kind of tea it is?" ”
Song Zhishu frowned and smashed his mouth again: "Who can taste it so strong, Longjing?" What's wrong? ”
When the dynasty people are accustomed to drinking strong tea, Junshan silver needle because of the light taste, ordinary people rarely have, and it is not a precious tea, and the dignitaries do not often drink it, but if it is cooked slowly, Junshan silver needle has a long fragrance that is rare in ordinary tea, so it is the first choice for literati to cook tea and discuss poetry.
So, why was Yang Hanxing able to taste that this tea was Junshan Silver Needle?

Yang Xi's last sentence "I believe in you" really made Yang Hanxing's heartstrings move several times, and then she came out of the household yamen and went to Renshoufang.
It seems to be going west, and then north. Yang Hanxing stood at the fork in the road, thinking carefully about the way to Renshoufang. She lives in the west of the imperial city, and she has not been to this area many times, but fortunately, her memory is really good, turned left and went north, and soon saw the tea shop in Xu Jia's mouth, the seal tea flag fluttering at the door, and it can be vaguely seen to be dilapidated.
That's right, she is coming to Xu Jia.
Although this kind of thing is moving, she also has to have a life.
The eastern sky faintly reveals the white of the fish's belly, reflected on the two big red lanterns at the entrance of the tea house. Yang Hanxing looked up at the sky, the star in the east was still lit, it should not be the time yet, this point ......
The lantern hasn't been extinguished all night?
There was a curfew in the court, and there was no business in the tea shop at night, so what did you do with the lanterns on?
Yang Hanxing was already suspicious before she entered, thinking that it was Xu Jia who had specially explained to her, and it was normal that there were some peculiarities, so she could barely persuade herself to knock on the door.
No response.
Yang Hanxing tried to push the door, and the door opened.
She first heard the heavy sound of a door that had not been pushed open for a long time, and Yang Hanxing looked inside from the crack in the door that had been pushed open.
It's black inside.
Yang Hanxing hesitated for the second time, but don't turn back when she opens the bow, this is her consistent principle of doing things.
So she groaned, put her hand on the sword at her waist, and walked in.
It was too dark inside, and as soon as Yang Hanxing stepped in, he felt that the darkness inside seemed to be a substance, pressing towards her from all directions.
At that moment, there was a sound behind her.
"Chill Star Girl......"
Yang Hanxing turned his head abruptly the moment he heard the voice, and at the same time as he drew his sword and turned around, he accurately put the sword on the speaker's neck.
“…… It came much earlier than I thought. ”
The sword has no eyes, and in such an environment where you can't see your fingers, the possibility of accidental injury is quite high, but the tone of the person who spoke was clear and calm, and he couldn't hear the slightest panic. Déjà vu.
"The cold star girl is good at swordsmanship."
There was a faint firelight lit up at the point of Yang Hanxing's sword, and her sword pressed down a little, but the person still lit the oil lamp very calmly, and Yang Hanxing's sword flickered brightly and darkly, and it was the yin under Xu Jia's eyelashes that was shaking in the wind.
I don't know when the door was closed, Yang Hanxing glanced at Xu Jia, and put his sword into the sheath: "I almost thought that Lord Xu was playing with me." ”
"Where?"
Xu Jia put the oil lamp on the table closest to him, and then stretched out his hand to Yang Hanxing to make a plea: "It's just hidden here, what is the Hanxing girl looking for me?" ”
You said I'll come here for you. Yang Hanxing was dissatisfied with his pretense, and also dissatisfied with why he chose to meet her here, such a gloomy and weird atmosphere, it was hard for her not to feel that he was giving her a disadvantage.
Scared didn't scare her, but said that Yang Hanxing didn't like this attitude of always wanting absolute control. It was he who begged her to do something.
But in the end, Yang Hanxing still followed Xu Jia's gesture and sat down opposite him: "Didn't Lord Xu come here to find an adult after saying that he had figured it out?" ”
There was undisguised dissatisfaction in his tone.
Xu Jia laughed, and his smile looked more bright and breezy in the dim light: "I didn't mean to scare the cold star girl, I really just wanted to hide it here - what did the cold star girl mean, you figured it out?" ”
Asked again and again.
Yang Hanxing didn't follow his words again this time: "Has Lord Xu been waiting for me here?" ”
"Where will it be, Miss Hanxing looks like a place to live here? I came to take a look at something, and I just happened to meet it. ”
"This tea shop has been dilapidated for a long time."
Yang Hanxing wiped her index finger on the table next to her, and her fingertips were suddenly stained with a thick layer of dust, and she stretched out her middle finger to wipe it on the table they were sitting on, smooth as new. Yang Hanxing put his fingers together and gave Xu Jia a look: "What kind of thing is Lord Xu, you need to come here often to take a look?" ”
"Miss Hanxing's eyesight should not create an unjust case in the Yamen of Dongchang, she should go to the six doors to catch fast."
Xu Jia was still smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Naturally, you can't let the cold star girl know." ”
"Can't the East Factory know about it?"
"I thought I was talking about private matters with Miss Hanxing."
"But I think that Lord Xu takes a fancy to the identity of the East Factory."
Xu Jia looked at her for a long time, and then smiled back into his eyes: "You also caught me a handle, now you are relieved?" ”
Obviously the door has been closed, I don't know why there is always an inexplicable wind, the lights are fluctuating, and Xu Jia's face is also flickering in the light: "No matter what you think of me, I really just want to remind you to be cautious." ”
Then why did you come to me in the first place? Yang Hanxing was unmoved.
But Xu Jia was still very emotional: "I regretted it for a long time after telling you at the beginning, you are a girl working in Dongchang, and it is not easy to live a life, and I want you to be involved in this storm." ”
This is a little too contrived, Yang Hanxing not only has no waves in his heart, but even wants to laugh: "Lord Xu's kindness has been accepted, since I came to find the adult, I have thought it clearly, and I also ask the adult to say that it is okay." ”
"Before I said that, I might have to promise Miss Hanxing one thing."
Sure enough, Yang Hanxing laughed, he had only met once, where did he get so much care for no reason.
"The case on Zhengyangmen Street, please don't investigate it anymore."
He knew many things he shouldn't know, and it wasn't strange that Yang Hanxing had more of them.
"Why?"
Xu Jia's eyes were quite sincere: "It's for the good of the cold star girl." ”
It's a pity that she doesn't need others to be good for her. Yang Hanxing arched his hand: "Lord Xu thanked me for his kindness first, but I didn't understand what Lord Xu meant, and I didn't allow Lord Xu to do this, so you and I will do what we discussed before?" ”
"I did have that thought."
Xu Jia sighed: "But since I opened my mouth with you, you and I are in the same place, not that I can forget it." ”
That's it.
So Yang Hanxing refused simply: "That humble unwillingness." ”
"If you don't want to, you don't want to."
Xu Jia sighed: "Xu Fan." ”
He suddenly got to the point: "I want you to persuade Xu Fan." ”

When Yang Hanxing came out of the small teahouse, her footsteps were still floating, she really couldn't think of many things, she even doubted whether Xu Jia's words were credible, but if this was the case, many of the things she had doubts about before made sense.
She stood at the corner of the alley while sorting out all these things, while listening to the movement in the teahouse, and did not hear Xu Jia's footsteps. Yang Hanxing groaned and poked his head out, the sky was already dark, and the red lantern at the door of the tea house no longer looked so dazzling. In the light, she saw the dead leaves in the crack of the door.
The door was brought by Yang Hanxing when she came out, and at that time she sandwiched a dead leaf between the crack of the door, and the dead leaf was still in place, but it was already dark again, and there was no breath of a living person. Xu Jia is obviously gone.
Yang Hanxing was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about the situation when Xu Jia came, he immediately understood, it was nothing more than a secret passage or something, and when he came, he still had a unique warm and hot atmosphere after bathing, and he thought that his residence should not be far from here.
It seems that this is indeed a stronghold of his. But it shouldn't be very important to be able to give her such a generous handle.
In order to reassure her, she also deliberately gave a handle.
There are so many eyes.
Yang Hanxing sighed with emotion, and temporarily stuffed everything about Xu Jia into the deepest part of his mind to deal with the case on Zhengyangmen Street.
She promised people after all.
Yang Hanxing walked in the direction of Shuntianfu.
When she walked to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, the sky was already completely bright, but today was cloudy, and when it was dawn, it was gray everywhere, which was very flattering to the look on Zhao Nantian's face at this time.
probably didn't sleep all night, Zhao Nantian's eyes were very dark and blue, but he was still very polite to her, and as soon as he saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her: "Why did Miss Hanxing come so early?" ”
Yang Hanxing threw his hand at him: "Lord Zhao, you have eyebrows." ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Hanxing didn't see Zhao Nantian's frowning brows stretch, but even his face was about to wrinkle.
Yang Hanxing pretended not to see it: "I don't know if I can second the manpower of Shuntianfu?" There are clues to investigate. ”
Zhao Nantian refused: "This is naturally possible, but Miss Hanxing may also know that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and our Shuntianfu is really a lot ......of things, and the manpower is really not very open."
Although the tone was very polite, it was still a refusal, which was a bit unexpected by Yang Hanxing.
