Jiu'er was arranged into the palace, and the eldest grandson Yun specially arranged a courtyard for Leng Xiao to recuperate, so as not to let others disturb him.

When Leng Xiao woke up, he saw a tired Jiu'er lying on his stomach in front of his bed sleeping with his arms on his pillow, and the bright sunlight poured in from the window, reflecting on Jiu'er's slightly baby fat face, in Leng Xiao's opinion, it was indescribably moving.

He used the internal force, his body recovered quickly, and now he has recovered seventy or eighty percent of the internal force, Leng Xiao turned his head and saw that he was lying in a strange room, and all the places in the room were stacked neatly, and then looked at Jiu'er, the corners of Leng Xiao's mouth couldn't help but overflow with a shallow smile, stretched out his hand, and gently flicked the bangs in front of Jiu'er's forehead.

Jiu'er slept in a daze, opened her eyes slightly, and smashed her cherry-like mouth a few times, looking indescribably delicate and moving.

Leng Xiao was fascinated, and couldn't help but reach out to gently touch her lips, Jiu'er felt something strange, and woke up slowly, seeing Leng Xiao looking at herself without blinking, Jiu'er couldn't help blushing, sat up straight and said, "Are you awake?" ”

Leng Xiao nodded, struggling to sit up, Jiu'er saw it, and hurriedly said, "You are not well now, you can't move." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over to help Leng Xiao up, and put a soft pillow behind him.

Leng Xiao's whole body was stagnant, and the tip of his nose was full of the good smell of flowers on Jiu'er's body, and for some reason, his face seemed to have been roasted by fire, and it burned all at once.

Jiu'er covered the quilt for him and asked softly, "Are you hungry, I cooked lean porridge, can I serve you a bowl?" ”

Leng Xiao nodded, Jiu'er put the porridge in the bowl and fed him spoonful by spoonful.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Jiu'er said: "You sacrificed yourself to save me last time, and you haven't thanked you in person." ”

Leng Xiao waved his hand, "You have been taking care of me these days, I should be grateful." ”

Jiu'er smiled, "That's what I should." As he spoke, he stood up and said, "I'll go wash the dishes, and you can recuperate." ”

Leng Xiao nodded, and was about to reply, when he heard a muffled sound outside, Leng Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly turned sideways to look, only to see a man in black helping Jiu'er in.

Seeing Leng Xiao, the man in black hurriedly clenched his fists, "Master." ”

Leng Xiao put his mind at ease and said, "What are you doing?" ”

The man placed Jiu'er on the chair next to him and said respectfully: "Master, the subordinates are worried about the master's body and have come to visit. ”

Leng Xiao had no expression on his face, but said lightly: "Okay, now that you have seen it, then go back." ”

Listening to Leng Xiao's words, the man in black said eagerly: "Master, now that the situation is tense, you really can't take any more risks, this woman...... It's the worst thing. ”

Leng Xiao raised his head and looked at the person who spoke, a pair of cold eyes were like frost, "You don't care about my affairs, I have my own measure." ”

"But the master ......" The man in black still wanted to say a few words, so he heard Leng Xiao say: "Okay, you can retreat first." ”

The man in black glanced at Leng Xiao a few times unwillingly, but finally didn't dare to speak, and quietly retreated.

Leng Xiao closed his eyes to recuperate, and after a while, he opened his eyes, looked at Jiu'er who was sleeping on the side, and suddenly sighed.

When the spring flowers bloomed, a sea of flowers in the backyard of the bamboo branch garden was also purple and red, Xia Mengning and Jiu'er took a basket and were picking petals, bowing their heads from time to time and laughing.

At this moment, Li Yan, who was flustered, walked over, Xia Mengning's expression was dark, and he saw Li Yan come forward and say, "Third Miss, something is wrong." ”

Xia Mengning said indifferently: "What's the matter, say it slowly." ”

On weekdays, Li Yan is calm and quiet, and the things that can shock him should be not small.

Li Yan swallowed his saliva and said, "It's in the shop, the medicinal materials in the shop, and the medicinal materials have an accident." ”

Xia Mengning frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

As she spoke, Xia Mengning had already handed the basket in her hand to Jiu'er and walked towards the house.

Li Yan followed behind him and said eagerly: "It's this morning, the business in the shop was supposed to be good, but suddenly a group of people came and said that there was a problem with our medicine, and a group of people shouted and opened the medicinal materials that had not yet been moved into the warehouse, only to see that the medicinal materials were already moldy." ”

Xia Mengning was waited by Jiu'er to wash her hands, wiped them dry, and said: "Don't panic first, tell the shopkeepers of each shop, post a notice, and return all the moldy medicinal materials that have been bought, and compensate another one or two silver." ”

Li Yan nodded hurriedly, knowing that Xia Mengning's handling method was right, Xia Mengning continued: "Our shop has not been less turbulent since it was opened, Steward Li, this time we can't be bullied like this anymore." ”

The two cleaned up and went to the warehouse, Li Yan instructed the little guy on the side to open the box, the little guy stepped forward and opened the lid of the box with his hands and feet, and a strong musty smell wafted out of the box, Xia Mengning stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and nose, looked at all the boxes carefully, and then walked out.

Li Yan brought tea to Xia Mengning and said, "Third Miss, what should we do now?" ”

Xia Mengning frowned, "This is obviously someone framing us, now that things are like this, we can't let things continue to be serious, we must quickly stabilize the situation." ”

Li Yan nodded, and Xia Mengning said again: "Have you found someone to buy the goods?" ”

Li Yan nodded, "I've already sent someone to find ......"

At this moment, a little guy ran in panting and said, "Steward Li, it's not good...... Just now, the brothers went out to look for the shopkeeper of the king, and found him dead in the woods. ”

"What?!" Xia Mengning stood up abruptly and walked out quickly: "Go and have a look." ”

Several people took a carriage to the woods where the incident occurred, and saw a carriage parked next to the big tree, and a person was crooked on the carriage, revealing a pair of eyes that were glaring at the boss.

Xia Mengning walked over, and Li stretched his hand and said, "Miss......"

Xia Mengning shook her head, "It's okay." ”

Saying that, Xia Mengning stepped forward, the person who bought the goods was named Wang Shun, who was originally working in the Xia family, because of his quick hands and feet, and he was diligent, so he was called by Li Yan to be the shopkeeper.

Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and moved Wang Shun's neck, seeing that the knife wound was fatal with one blow, obviously the murderer was a person with excellent martial arts, and such a wound could only be made with a sword.

Xia Mengning didn't expect that things would involve human lives, but now that she looks like this, I'm afraid that it is different from the previous frame-up, and this time it is obviously more tricky.

Li Yan looked at it and said, "Miss, what should I do now?" ”

Xia Mengning frowned, looked at the surrounding environment, and whispered to Li Yan: "How could things be so coincidental, we just wanted to find Wang Shun, and he was killed." ”

Li Yan wrinkled his brows and said, "What does Miss mean......"

"Yes, someone deliberately framed us, now it seems that this is the overall situation, Manager Li, time is running out, you go back to the warehouse now, and secretly transport all those medicinal materials out to be destroyed, remember to find a few people who can be trusted, in this situation, it is difficult to ensure that our people are in addition to the problem."

Li Yan nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked back, at this moment, a sound of horses' hooves came, Xia Mengning was stunned, and saw Cheng Tianxing, the old man of Ying Tianfu, riding a horse and walking in front, Xia Mengning sighed in his heart, only to feel that a feeling of being calculated gradually came to his heart.

Cheng Tianxing came with several pairs of centaurs, and was a little stunned when he saw Xia Mengning, hurriedly jumped off the horse, walked quickly to Xia Mengning and saluted: "Weichen has seen the county lord. ”

Xia Mengning said lightly: "Master Cheng doesn't have to be polite. ”

Cheng Tianxing stood up and wondered, "Why is the county lord here?" ”

Xia Mengning looked at it and said truthfully: "I have something to find the guy in the shop temporarily, but I found that he has been killed." ”

Cheng Tianxing glanced at Xia Mengning meaningfully, and said, "Such a coincidence? But the official also got a clue, saying that someone here was hurting people in broad daylight, so he hurried over. ”

Xia Mengning was slightly stunned, looked at Cheng Tianxing, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Cheng Tianxing beckoned and said, "Come out." ”

At this time, a man in a cyan shirt walked out from behind Cheng Tianxing, and it was Li Yan's brother-in-law, Deng Lin.

Li Yan was startled, and had some bad premonitions in his heart, at this time, he heard Cheng Tianxing ask: "This person claims to be Deng Lin, but he is your guy from Jiancun Pavilion, he came to the mansion in a panic early in the morning to report the case, saying that he was being chased and killed, and that there was a shopkeeper who was still at the scene, so he came to ask the official for help." ”

Li Yan was furious, rushed forward and slapped Deng Lin violently, this slap was extremely powerful, and knocked Deng Lin to the ground at once, "You eat things inside and out, why do you want to be a wronged person?" ”

Deng Lin lay on the ground aggrievedly, looking at Cheng Tianxing as if asking for help, "Adults save me, adults save me......"

Cheng Tianxing was furious and waved his hand: "Bold, how can you be presumptuous in front of this official, come on, take it for me!" ”

The officers and soldiers behind him stepped forward and held Li Yan down one left and one right.

Xia Mengning looked at the farce in front of him, and said lightly: "Lord Cheng is so powerful, Steward Li is the chief treasurer of the Jiancun Pavilion or the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is best for Lord Cheng to have evidence before arresting people, and he can't just rely on one person's one-sided words to make a conclusion." ”

Xia Mengning said this mercilessly, she saw that Cheng Tianxing had eaten them today, and she didn't know who was making trouble behind it.

Cheng Tianxing was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Xia Mengning's beautiful face as cold as ice, he felt a little drumming in his heart, so he had to say: "The county lord misunderstood, although the evidence is insufficient today, but this matter is still inseparable from the county lord, I wonder if the county lord is willing to go back with the lower officials to assist in the investigation?" ”

Xia Mengning was anxious, but she knew that all the evidence was unfavorable to her now, and she could only stabilize the situation first, thinking of this, Xia Mengning said: "The Jiancun Pavilion is the emperor personally nodded and agreed, and now I can't go back with you, but no one can manage it in the shop, so let's go, I'll go with you, and you will let Manager Li go." ”

Xia Mengning was forced to move out this layer of the emperor, and by the way, he also reminded Cheng Tianxing of his status, Cheng Tianxing's behavior was difficult for a moment, but thinking of the threat of the man in black to him yesterday, Cheng Tianxing's heart sank, and said: "Okay, the county lord will go with the lower officials." ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Li Yan again and said, "Let him go." ”

Li Yan was free, and hurriedly walked to Xia Mengning's side, "Miss......"
