Chapter 700: Where to Put Your Face?
Lao Guo Po is a local snake, after all, she is doing this kind of unsightly business, and there are many thugs, mixed in the crowd, people are crowded, and Lao Guo Po is stunned to escape.
The officials of the Criminal Department were forced to lose their hair by Jingli, and the duck in front of them flew, and they hated to argue with Nanling officialdom.
The fifth master designed Lao Guo Po once, and it would be difficult to fish again.
In the end, it took a lot of effort from the criminal department to find out the old Guo Po.
When Yuan Er set off from Nanling, Lao Guo Po had just been imprisoned.
"I originally wanted to stay for two more days and inquire about the progress," Yuan Er explained, "The fifth master said, the old Guo Po looks like a handler, and there are a few characters on it, and torturing her may not be able to torture the real thing, and the little grandfather is going back to the north in a few days, so he asked me to come back first." ”
After listening to this, Jiang Muyuan said: "The fifth master has been in Nanling for a few months, according to his opinion, how is Nanling?" ”
Yuan Er thought for a while and replied: "The fifth master said that the officialdom of Nanling is tighter than the two lakes, and the governor Dong Zhiwang is an old fox, Jin Peiying still relied on Enrongbo's mansion to sit firmly as the governor of the two lakes, Dong Zhiwang has no background in Beijing, but he is stable in Nanling."
Dong Zhiwang's wife is a native of Nanling, and she was born as an embroiderer, so she has no relationship with her in addition to embroidering for the local big families in Nanling. ”
Jiang Muyuan knows Dong Zhiwang, this person loves silver, he is honest as an official, Nanling people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they have not experienced natural disasters, in the most tense years of the war in the whole dynasty, Nanling can be regarded as peaceful.
Therefore, in his previous life, the saint praised Dong Zhiwang a few words, but Jiang Muyuan did not have any contact with Dong Zhiwang.
He asked again: "What is the relationship between Dong Zhiwang and the prince of the county?" ”
Yuan Er replied: "The county prince doesn't pay attention to anyone, the governor still knows the same thing, and when he goes to his county prince's mansion, they are all closed, and the county prince has a steward by his side, and he will say a few words to the officials, but there are not many contacts." ”
Jiang Muyuan pondered for a while.
The Western bell rang, he looked at the hour, and said: "That is the case, wait for the news, the Criminal Department wants to escort Lao Guo Po back to Beijing for trial, and there will always be something to be tried." ”
Yuan Er responded.
Jiang Muyuan stood up, walked out, and said: "It's late tonight, you rest early, tomorrow Yin is coming to the study, I have something to discuss, I haven't thought about it well enough at this time, I'll discuss it tomorrow, and after it's settled, you can help me inform the fifth master." ”
Yuan Er's head.
Jiang Muyuan didn't let anyone follow, and went straight to the backyard.
Listening to the wind, tidying up the study, chatting with Yuan Er about the customs and customs of Nanling, Yu Guang glanced at the Western clock, and laughed twice.
At this hour, let alone "late at night", it is not even late, if the lady does not set the table on time, their father will rush back now, and they can still eat a hot meal.
Tut!
After cleaning up, I listened to the wind blowing the lamp, and walked out of the study with Yuan Er, but met Nian Xia head-on.
Nian Xia held a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other, and looked past the two of them at the dark study: "Isn't the little grandfather discussing in the study?" Madame was worried that she was hungry, so she asked me to bring some snacks. ”
Yuan Er said hello and said, "The little grandfather just left, he should have gone back to the inner courtyard, didn't the girl meet him?" ”
Nian Xia shook her head, from the study in front to the courtyard of the lady, the nearest road was the road she came, the moonlight was not good, but she was carrying a lantern, why did she miss it.
Where does Yuan Er know.
Listening to the wind, he could guess that his eyes subconsciously glanced at the wall, scratched his head, and still didn't tell the truth.
Let people know that in order to get to the inner courtyard quickly, their father climbed over the wall in his own house, where did he put his face?
That person is a maid next to Madame, and it can't be done.
That maid has seen their master climb over the wall, but she still can't do it.
Listening to the wind, he thought that he was heartbroken, and he was afraid that Nian Xia would see it, so he moved to the side and said, "I have something left in my master's study, I'll go get it first." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went to the study.
Yuan Er didn't move, he lowered his eyes to look at Nian Xia, he hadn't seen her for a few days, and when he looked at it again today, it was still the same as in his impression.
It's beautiful......
A gust of wind blew, causing the lantern in Nianxia's hand to sway.
Yuan Er hurriedly moved a step upwind to block the wind, and the shaking of the lantern gradually eased.
Nian Xia saw it in his eyes and thanked him.
"No need to ......" Yuan Er replied subconsciously, seeing that Nian Xia turned around to go back, he hurriedly said, "I went to Nanling before." ”
Nian Xia raised his eyes to look at him and said with a smile: "No wonder I haven't seen you for a while, Nanling...... Did you go to inquire about the whereabouts of those children? ”
"Yes, Mrs. saved Chen Huzi, and the whereabouts of the remaining children must be checked again." Yuan Er replied.
Thinking of the abducted children, Nian Xia was also a little concerned, and said, "When did you come back?" ”
Yuan Er said: "I just entered Beijing before closing the city gate. ”
"Isn't that just a little bit back?" Nian Xia was surprised, remembering the situation when Yuan Er appeared at Yumen Pass for the first time, she said again, "Rushed out all the way and had dinner?" ”
Yuan Er shook his head.
Seeing this, Nian Xia raised the food box in his hand a little higher, and said, "I just took some for the little grandfather and you to fill your stomach, since the little grandfather went back to the inner courtyard, these snacks are not needed, it is better for you to take them and eat them first." ”
Yuan Er lowered his eyes and looked at the vermilion lacquered food box, and his eyes finally fell on the hand holding the food box.
Nian Xia has practiced martial arts for many years, his fingers are slender, he can see the joints, and his hands are not big, but he is energetic.
Yuan Er had seen Nian Xia carrying books, and knew that she had great strength.
He raised his hands and grabbed the food box, waiting for Nian Xia to let go before going to hold the handle.
Yuan Er didn't remind her that this was the Ningguo Mansion, not the small courtyard closed by Yumen, and it was dinner time again, and there were a lot of meals in the kitchen, so he couldn't be hungry at all, he just moved his lips slowly and responded "Okay".
Nian Xia went back to the backyard, and Yuan Ermu sent her back away, and the palm holding the handle was tightly closed.
The thin handle seemed to have the temperature she had held, warm.
Listening to the wind with his arms in his hands, standing under the corridor, he didn't enter the study at all, because he found that Yuan Er and Nian Xia didn't pay attention to whether the lights were on in the study.
He thought it was almost time and stepped forward, but before he could make a move, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in front of him.
How so......
Some different flavors come to the occasion.
Listening to the wind keenly, he naturally didn't go up to stir up, and when Nian Xia's figure was gone, he walked to Yuan Er's side and put his elbow on his arm.
"You kid, have you seen Nian Xia?" Listen to the sound of the wind.
Yuan Er was slightly stunned, and the next moment he hurriedly shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
Listening to the wind, his eyes rolled: "Then what do you think of Nian Xia?" ”
