There was a "bang" sound in the room, and then even the lights went out.

Qing Ran pulled Ji Xiaotian behind him: "Don't move here, I'll go in and take a look." ”

"Master, I'm ......" Before he finished speaking, Qing Ran had already jumped in, and his figure quickly flashed towards the shelf.

It was Zhu Baohua who fell.

When she fell, she smashed into the table and extinguished the light on it.

This girl looks very clever, but her brain obviously doesn't have Ji Xiaotian's spiritual light.

Seeing that he dug a hole in the roof and ran away, she didn't think about looking for someone in the house, nor did she open the door to go out to look outside, but also wanted to go out through the hole to chase him.

So Ji Xiaotian and Qing Ran saw the scene just now on the roof.

And after the two left, she was in a hurry to get down from the high platform, but before she could find a suitable place to put her feet, she heard a knock at the door.

It was so loud that it startled her, and the person fell down.

Apparently turned on the lamp in the room, looking at her bruised nose and swollen face, it was pitiful and funny.

He looked at her and asked, "What do you think, lock up my apprentice, he ran away, you still have to chase him, what are you chasing him for, huh?" ”

Zhu Baohua ignored him.

But I was a little scared in my heart, an adult man, facing an underage girl, no matter from any aspect, it was very dangerous.

She turned around and wanted to leave, but was blocked by Ji Xiaotian behind her: "Sister, I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen Brother Baoshan, are you the only one here?" ”

Ji Xiaotian opened his mouth to ask, but Zhu Baohua didn't give him a good face, and stretched out his fist and smashed it on his head.

Qing Ran didn't want to do anything with a child, but she couldn't watch others bully her apprentice.

As soon as his hand moved, he had already put his sword horizontally, and the scabbard hit Zhu Baohua's wrist at once.

It didn't take much effort, but for a child, it was already a lot of strength.

Zhu Baohua suddenly felt that her hands were about to break, and the person squatted on the ground all of a sudden, and tears fell "click" down.

Her crying confused the two men, one big and one small.

Especially Qing Ran, he has no experience in coaxing children, let alone girls, so he can only set his eyes on Ji Xiaotian.

Ji Xiaotian lived up to his expectations, immediately changed his expression, squatted in front of Zhu Baohua, sighed like a little adult, and then spoke leisurely: "Sister, I know that your mother was arrested by the government, you are very sad, but the matter has not been determined yet?"

The government just thinks that the money that Lord He lost is related to her, and whether it is really related to it is not, and it has to be investigated.

Also, even if this matter is really related to her, it would be good for her to hand over the silver in time, as long as there is no loss on it, and there is no adult to guarantee it, then she will definitely be put back well, right? ”

Zhu Baohua wiped her tears and looked at him: "Can you really put it back?" ”

Ji Xiaotian agreed: "Of course, she was arrested because of the loss of silver, if the silver is found, can you still let her go?" ”

Zhu Baohua asked, "How much silver?" ”

Ji Xiaotian stretched out his short palm, and five fingers suddenly rose: "Five thousand taels." ”

Zhu Baohua wiped her own face, maybe touched the wound she had just fallen down and knocked on, and gasped in pain.

After a while, he said, "I don't know how many there are, so come and see for yourself." ”

Ji Xiaotian was busy going to see his master.

Qing Ran also glanced at him and nodded to him quietly.

The master and apprentice followed her to the courtyard, and Zhu Baohua also took out a shovel: "It's here, you dig it yourself." ”

Under a green plant, there was a wooden box buried, and in the wooden box there was some silver, two or two hundred taels, but it was far from five thousand taels.

Qing Ran asked her, "Is there anything else?" ”

Zhu Baohua shook her head: "I only see so much." ”

Ji Xiaotian's focus is not on silver, since he came in, there has always been only this one person here, he asked Zhu Baohua several times, but this sister just didn't say.

At this time, he dug up the silver and saw that it was not what he was looking for.

Ji Xiaotian couldn't help but ask again: "What about your brother, where did he go, why is there only you here?" ”

Zhu Baohua was stunned for a while before she said, "I was sent away by my mother." ”

"When?" Qing Ran asked.

Zhu Baohua: "In the morning, someone came to look for my brother, and after he left, my mother sent my brother away, and then someone from the government came and arrested my mother." ”

Qing Ran: "Do you know where to send it?" ”

Zhu Baohua shook her head.

Then she chased after her and asked, "Can I get my mother out of this silver?" I'm a little scared here. ”

Qing Ran also shook his head at her: "This silver is not the same as the one that was lost, and it can't be done for the time being, but you don't have to be afraid, this is Hefu, and others won't come in and bully you." ”

Zhu Baohua replied: "It is precisely because of He Fu that I am afraid, then Master He is very bad." ”

Qingran: "......"

He did not continue on this topic, and asked another thing: "Didn't your mother often take you to the temple before?" Do you know where the temple is? ”

Zhu Baohua thought for a while and said, "Guanye Temple in the west of the city." ”

Qing Ran glanced at Ji Xiaotian again.

That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Mrs. Ji went to incense on the fifteenth day of the first month, and she was in the Guan Ye Temple, and Jia Wan also went to the incense on the fifteenth day of the first month, and she was also in that temple.

And the temple is unusual, is there something else in it?

That night they did not hear any more from Hefu, nor did they find the lost silver.

When she was about to leave, Zhu Baohua's eyes were empty, and she chased her to the gate, still asking Qing Ran: "Can't this silver really save my mother?" Then why don't you arrest me too, I want to accompany my mother. ”

Qing Ran came out through gritted teeth.

It seems that this girl is really scared, and she doesn't know what Lord He will do to her?

But Qing Ran didn't get the instructions from above now, and he couldn't easily bring people back.

The most important thing is that he is also a little unsure of the truth of Zhu Baohua's words.

From her words, it was obvious that Jiawan had anticipated that she was in danger, so she sent her son away.

But she is also flesh and blood, and she knows that it will be dangerous for her to stay in the mansion, so why not send her daughter away?

What is she going to do when she leaves a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl here alone?

Qing Ran was also afraid that if she was taken away, she would cause other trouble.

However, after he went back, he immediately called Qing Ze and asked him to go to He Mansion to keep an eye on him, and he went to the palace overnight to report the news.

Zhuang Siyan didn't sleep well this night, and tossed and turned on the bed to make cakes.

Recently, there have been a lot of affairs in the DPRK and China, and Ling Tiancheng is often busy until late before coming back, so he didn't go to the side hall to disturb her.

Zhuang Siyan slept on such a big bed alone, he thought it was super comfortable, but he couldn't sleep tonight.

The back and forth in my mind is all the appearance of Jia Wan, and sometimes a Mrs. Ji appears inexplicably.

She knew that the two were not connected, but she didn't know why she thought of them at the same time.

There are also troubles on Ling Tiancheng's side, and I don't know if the war in Northern Xinjiang has been decided?

She got out of bed.

Ping'er, who was waiting outside, immediately came in: "Niangniang, but you want to drink water?" ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "Don't drink, I'm fine, I just can't sleep, come out for a walk, you don't have to worry about me, go rest." ”

Ping'er just listened to this, there was no reason to say that the master went out for a walk, and she went to sleep, unless she didn't want to do it.

Zhuang Siyan walked out of the side hall, and when he arrived in the courtyard, he saw that the lights in the main hall were still on, so he asked Ping'er: "Hasn't the emperor come back yet?" ”

Ping'er shook her head: "When Niang Niang fell asleep, there was a message from there, but she hasn't returned yet." ”

Zhuang Siyan took two steps forward, and suddenly came back again.

But when she reached the door of the temple, she turned around and walked into the main hall.

Ping'er, who had been following her all the time, didn't know what was going on, so she had to follow her too.

When he arrived at the main hall, he learned that Ling Tiancheng had returned.

Zhuang Siyan turned back to Ping'er and said, "You go back first, I'll rest here tonight, and you can come back tomorrow morning." ”

Ping'er agreed and retreated.

When Zhuang Siyan walked inside, he asked the little eunuch who was waiting next to him: "When did the emperor come back?" ”

The little eunuch replied to her: "Just returned, there is probably a pillar of incense." ”

Entering the inner hall, he saw Ling Tiancheng sitting alone on a soft couch, his hands staggered and clasped on his legs.

Zhuang Siyan leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" It's rare to see you sitting like this, looking preoccupied? ”

Ling Tiancheng immediately put his hand down: "Really? Is there anything more important about sitting? ”

"Of course, the way a person walks, the way he sits, and the look on his face can tell what he is thinking at this time."

Ling Tiancheng raised his eyebrows: "Then look at what I'm thinking now?" ”

Zhuang Siyan smiled deliberately and pasted it on him: "To be honest, are you thinking about me?" ”

Ling Tiancheng made a surprised expression very cooperatively: "I can really see that I am really thinking about you at this time......"

"Hahaha......" Zhuang Siyan smiled and fell on him.

Ling Tiancheng also took advantage of the situation to pick her up, smoothed her hair that was blown by the wind and asked, "Why don't you sleep so late?" ”

Zhuang Siyan still had a smile in his voice: "I miss you too, I can't sleep." ”

Ling Tiancheng chuckled, then got up and hugged her together: "Then let's sleep together, we can see each other when we sleep together, and we can all sleep." ”

"Okay, okay!" Zhuang Siyan responded immediately.

But in fact, when the two of them went to bed, they still had their own thoughts.

Zhuang Siyan couldn't help but ask, "Has the matter in Northern Xinjiang been decided?" To fight or not to fight? ”

Ling Tiancheng shook his head: "It is decided to fight, and the grain and grass will also take a while to prepare." ”

Zhuang Siyan said: "The Dasheng Dynasty should really develop agriculture, and it is not a way to go on like this." ”

Ling Tiancheng said "um": "There are too many disadvantages in the past......

He didn't continue, Zhuang Siyan had already heard what he meant.

There are drawbacks, but they are not the main reason for the suffering of ordinary people now.

Ling Tiancheng was actually a little paranoid, because his father had raised too many unconscious officials at that time, so after he went up, he was bent on getting the unconscious officials down.

But ignore the principle of step-by-step.

Just like a person's body, there are too many rotten parts on it, and it should have been cut and raised by a piece, little by little.

But he was so anxious that he went down with a knife and cut all the rotten flesh, and as a result, his body also collapsed, and if he wanted to repair it, how easy was it?
