Changying groaned for a while, drank the remaining half cup of tea, and didn't say anything more.

Zi Yan reminded that it made sense, if not, she wouldn't have to go to great lengths to escape from Jingshi to Jiangnan.

But the lesser of the two powers, even if it is risky to stay and meddle in Cheng Xiao's matter, she doesn't want to be so scrupulous in front of the possibility that she will continue to make meritorious contributions.

She has only one goal in mind, and that is to be promoted.

"Bring a pen and paper to me to write a letter, and go back to Zhou Liang to send it to General Tan." She said to Zi Yan, who was still staring at Zhou Liang Huang Ji with a tense face.

……

Shen Changying promised to reply before the evening.

After returning home and briefly handing over the matter to Yang Chan, Du gradually also went to Cheng Xiao to reply to the situation of tracking down the bandits without success.

Cheng Xiao closed his eyes and waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to see anyone, it seemed that at least he wouldn't have any more thoughts on suspicious of them today.

He explained a few words to the guards and then went back to his room.

Before dawn, he drank tea on the windowsill, and took out the open-minded jade pendant and rubbed it in his hand.

There was a slight sound on the beam, and Tong Qi jumped to the ground and called "Master".

Then he went around to his side and said: "Xie Peng has already withdrawn with people, and as soon as the city gate is opened at dawn, he can leave the city with the closing saucer, and the master's subordinates have already taken care of it, and no one will find out when they go out now." ”

Du gradually stared at the jade pendant in his hand and did not look back.

Tong Qi didn't wait for a reply, and immediately probed the probe.

Du gradually accepted the jade pendant, took a sip of tea and said, "You go back first, and let Xie Peng and them stay in place." We won't retreat yet. ”

Tong Qi was slightly silent: "The master doesn't know about this operation, we only have so much time, and if we delay it any longer, I am afraid that it will be alarmed." ”

Du gradually exhaled and said, "I changed my mind." We'll stay and get the evidence as soon as possible. ”

Seeing Tong Qi hesitate, he turned around and said slowly, "Do you remember Shen Linlang?" ”

Tong Qi paused.

Du gradually darkened his eyes: "Shen Changying's voice is exactly the same as Shen Linlang, she is also surnamed Shen, and her accent is from Yanjing, she went to Jiangnan to join the army three years ago, but Nankang Weili can't find out her specific background."

"It just so happens that Shen Linlang is the same, except for her name and voice, I don't know anything about her background."

Not only did he not know her specific background, but he didn't even know what she looked like.

Tong Qi's expression unconsciously became solemn, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you suspect that this Shen Changying, who has disturbed our big affairs, will be a less-Miss Shen?" ”

Du gradually looked at the faint morning light, and his gaze became deep and distant.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, she doesn't know me."

Not only did he not know him, but he didn't even have any reaction to his appearance and his whole person.

Even if he was blind three years ago, she was not blind, he didn't believe that after half a month of getting along day and night, she would have no impression of him as a person.

Not to mention that this jade pendant had played such an important role among them, she was indifferent.

Tong Qi paused and said, "That master stayed here to verify this matter?" ”

Du gradually turned his face away, and the morning light burned him into a blurry silhouette in the window.

"It's not." "It's to get the job done." ”

……

After Changying finished writing the letter, Zhou Liang rode back to Nankangwei.

This matter was settled, and before Cheng Xiao made arrangements for the affairs of the house, the matter of checking the file had to be suspended.

After breakfast, a few people stayed in the courtyard and didn't go anywhere, and made up their minds not to go to the troubled waters of the house.

Although Zi Yan was full of stomach and was not willing to take this risk, he knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he cooperated with her with peace of mind.

After the word of mouth of the people nearby, in less than half a day, everyone in the entire state city knew about it.

In the past, I only heard that bandits were rampant, and I thought that at most, it would be enough for Cheng Xiao to be robbed halfway, but I didn't expect that he would dare to openly break into the government office to kill people, how can people live?

Cheng Xiao had just finished his family's affairs and was busy appeasing the people's emotions, but he was also worried about it for a day.

Naturally, he didn't say anything about the bandits' intentions last night, but fortunately, no one would pay special attention to this kind of thing at all, let alone think about anything else, and all the spearheads were pointed at the inhumanity of the gangsters.

But in the end, only he knows what kind of danger was last night, for a scholar, not to mention that life and death are hanging in that line, just to say that seeing a knife is considered to kill people!

He lay in the room for a long time, closed his eyes and was the cold shining knife, and finally he couldn't bear the torture at night, and went out on crutches.

Mrs. Cheng had long been guarding all parts of the house with Du Gradual, and there was no shortage of people at any time, and she called the maids and women to surround her all day long, crying for a while, thinking about it for a while, and crying for a while, so that the whole courtyard was also lively.

When Cheng Xiao came out of the room, the atmosphere was still so solemn that it was breathless.

"How can there be such a bold person? Murdering an officer is a grave crime, don't they want to die?! ”

Mrs. Cheng didn't find an opportunity to cry to her husband until this time, "I haven't been so frightened when I'm so big, is this worth it?" Did you ever issue a notice for people to arrest someone?!

"By the way, this is a gang of robbers, this is Nankangwei's internal business, you hurry up and send someone to send a seal to inform General Tan! We must arrest them all! ”

Cheng Xiao was upset.

He almost became a ghost under the knife, isn't he afraid? Isn't he worried?

But since the other party is coming for his background, how can he still treat them as ordinary robbers? Take 10,000 steps back and say, if he catches it, does he dare to kill?

No matter how wary and suspicious he was of Shen Changying, this time he couldn't help but admit that it was thanks to her.

Shen Changying's arrival not only saved the lives of his children, but also helped him control that thing-

Although even if it was possible, she heard something and was suspicious of something, but as long as he denied it, she was helpless with him.

If you hold on to something, at least there won't be any aftermath.

It's just that why did she Shen Changying appear so coincidentally?

"Master, Du Tou'er and Yang Tou'er have been surveyed separately, and those people took advantage of the evening when the hood room was empty.

"They are strong in martial arts, and they seem to be very familiar with the situation in the house, they should have been eyeing us for a long time, and they have just known that the Lord has already sent an order to go down to guard the city gate, and the next defense master can rest assured."

Cheng Xiao glanced at the person and nodded.

Du gradually acted he was relieved, at the beginning he saw with his own eyes how he rushed to kill surrounded by dozens of people, although he was a literati, but the generals also knew a lot, and there was no shortage of guards in the guard, like Du Gradual's skills, he could really find a few.

Sure enough, he took the ginseng soup and drank it with confidence.
