"I'll go get the money." An Xiaoqi stood up and staggered into the house to get the money, but after a while, he came out crying with a sad face, "The money is all in Xiao Jiu, I don't know where this girl put the money, and now I have more than a hundred taels of silver here." ”

This money is still used for normal operation.

An Xiaoqi regretted it for the first time in his life, he didn't take the money, and handed over the money to An Xiaojiu for safekeeping.

"It's okay, I still have quite a few here, don't worry." Rong Jing comforted.

Although his face was still as cold and hard as usual, An Xiaoqi felt that the lines of his face had softened a lot today.

In An Xiaoqi's eyes at this moment, Rong Jing is like a pillar, supporting her from falling.

"Thank you, Brother Rong." An Xiaoqi thanked him sadly.

At this time, he is willing to take out the money, and he is willing to help Xiao Jiu find a way, which shows that there are many people and things are good.

But why can an outsider help Xiao Jiu so much, but their own mother is ......

"Xiao Qi, I probably know who the person they want to arrest is, and why they arrested it." Qing Niang went out for a trip, and when she came back, her face changed.

And Qing Niang was followed by a man.

He looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, thin but tall, and his ordinary face couldn't make a splash in the crowd.

An Xiaoqi knew more or less about Qing Niang's identity, but Uncle Rong and Rong Jing were not clear, and they looked at Qing Niang with very complicated eyes at the moment.

Qing Niang's face was slightly embarrassed, but she still stubbornly explained to Uncle Rong: "Please rest assured, I definitely don't have the heart to harm Xiao Jiu." What kind of person I am, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Qi are all clear. ”

"Uncle Rong, Brother Rong, don't worry, Aunt Qing is not a bad person." An Xiaoqi hurriedly explained, and asked Qing Niang again, "Who is this?" ”

Qing Niang, "I saw that something happened to Xiao Jiu, so I passed the news to my young master overnight. But he didn't wait for the young master to reply, but waited for Kaiyang. Kaiyang is my young master's personal guard. ”

The man, Kaiyang, took a step forward, arched his hand, and explained in a humming manner: "My young master found out before that the prefect of the Qiongzhou City Mansion and a certain adult in the capital colluded to pervert the law for bribes. When the young master traced it, he found that the prefect actually secretly mined silver mines and minted silver in private! ”

Hearing this, Rong Jing and Uncle Rong both gasped.

An Xiaoqi and Qingniang didn't understand, but they didn't touch much.

On the contrary, Uncle Rong and Rong Jing understood the stakes, so they felt even more terrible.

"Mining silver in private is a crime of raiding a family." Uncle Rong's face was solemn.

Mining silver ore is not a trivial matter, in case someone finds out, let alone raiding the house, it is possible to raid all the houses!

To put it mildly, minting silver in private, what is this trying to do?

The imperial court has always been tightly controlled over silver mines, and I didn't expect that anyone would dare to step on this line.

Kaiyang's facial features were bleak, but he couldn't see any expression, nodded at Uncle Rong, and continued: "Although my young master noticed that the prefect had a silver mine in private, he never found out where the silver mine was. And when our young master wanted to continue the investigation, he was suddenly discovered by the other party, chased and killed all the way, and fled here, and I could no longer find the signal of my young master. ”

In order not to startle the snake, the young master of his family only brought a few personal guards, and they all acted separately.

Leave marks everywhere so that the target is not too big and easy to be discovered.

But I didn't expect that I was still discovered by the other party.

Thinking of this, Kaiyang frowned unconsciously: Is this an accident or a conspiracy?

If it is a conspiracy, there must be a mole among the few people brought this time!

Several of them were dead soldiers who grew up together, and it was the young master who couldn't bear them to live in the dark all the time, so he promoted them to guards.

How many years have you been born and died together, and if someone betrays you......

"Didn't you leave any mark?" Rong Jing asked, "Since you found here according to the marks along the way, how come you didn't have it when you got here?" ”

"It's not for nothing, I found a mark in an alley, it looks like it was last night, and then it's gone."

Kaiyang was also very worried, if it wasn't for some accident, the young master wouldn't have left him a mark.

Rong Jing's eyebrows moved, and he continued to ask, "Where is the alley?" ”

After listening to Kaiyang's description, Rong Jing looked at Uncle Rong and said, "This is the only way for Xiao Jiu to come back from the barbecue restaurant. ”

"Then it's very likely that what Commander Sun said is true."

Uncle Rong also thought of this.

Since the commander said that when he was chasing and killing the fugitive, he met An Xiaojiu in the place where he was chasing, it is very likely that An Xiaojiu really hid that person.

But where can they hide so that they don't get discovered?

Uncle Rong and Rong Jing couldn't think of it even if they broke their heads.

"It seems that Miss Xiao Jiu is the last person to see my young master." Kaiyang also heard something from the conversation between the two.

Uncle Rong looked at Qing Niang, "What is the relationship between Xiao Jiu and your young master, you quickly say it." ”

At this time, where can I still hide it?

Qing Niang was also worried that the two of them had an accident, so she hurriedly told how Xiao Jiu and Lu Li met and how they signed the contract.

"I see."

Rong Jing's clothes suddenly realized.

All along, Rong Jing was curious about how An Xiaojiu not only managed to escape in the Qinglou, but also took away Xiao Qi who was imprisoned.

Now I finally get it.

"In that case, Xiao Jiu will be able to understand if he helps your young master hide." Uncle Rong was thinking about this aspect.

Well, why did Xiao Jiu hide the fugitive so kindly.

It turns out that there is this origin.

I'm afraid that person used the deed of sale to threaten An Xiaojiu, or made a deal with An Xiaojiu.

"But even if Miss Xiao Jiu is arrested, it is impossible for my young master not to leave any mark, unless...... He didn't stand a chance! ”

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

Kaiyang's whole person is not good.

If something happened to the young master, they wouldn't go back to the capital.

It's better to apologize directly for the sin.

"So, find Xiao Jiu to know where your young master is." Rong Jing came to a conclusion.

With Kaiyang's help, rescuing Xiao Jiu will be more certain.

Kaiyang naturally understands this truth, although he wants to rescue his young master first, but when he can't find any trace of the young master, it is the best choice to find An Xiaojiu, who has seen the young master, first.

Therefore, Kaiyang agreed without hesitation.

"Go to the city now, I don't know if you know where the silver mine is?" Uncle Rong asked.
