Xia Xueye hesitated slightly, and then spoke: "Something happened to the mansion, Qianniang died, I want to find Xia Gongzi to ask him if he knows about the recent transfer of officials from the DPRK and China." After speaking, he waved his hand again: "If Xia Gongzi is really too busy, I can check it myself." As he spoke, he glanced up at the inn.

From the very beginning, she noticed that today's inn was slightly different from usual. Although it was still the original noise and excitement, however, somehow, Xia Xueye always felt that there was a feeling of being suppressed or deliberately made in these noises.

She looked at Yuan Yi, and Yuan Yi was also looking at her. "Did you already know that there were other people in this inn?" Xia Xueye asked.

Yuan Yi shook his head: "Miss Xia is so insightful, it really opened my eyes. It's just about Xia Gongzi's family affairs, please forgive Yuan Yi for not being able to tell the truth. With that, he threw the last bundle of licorice into the manger. He stood empty-handed and opposite Xia Xueye.

Xia Xueye shook her head with a sigh: "It's okay if you don't tell me, the more you know, the easier it is to get into trouble." I ask you, do you have an errand now? ”

Yuan Yi shook his head.

"So, would you like to do something for me?"

Yuan Yi nodded: "Naturally." ”

Xia Xueye and Yuan Yi walked out of the street of the inn and walked straight in the direction of the mansion. On the way, Xia Xueye roughly informed him of everything that happened in the mansion this afternoon.

Yuan Yi listened silently, and at the end, he only said: "You must be uncomfortable." ”

Just this sentence made Xia Xueye, who had always pretended to be fearless, defeated. She smiled bitterly: "How can it be good, I'm sorry for her too much." ”

Hearing her words, Yuan Yi suddenly stopped: "If it's very uncomfortable, find an opportunity to vent it." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Xueye beside him.

Because Yuan Yi stopped walking, Xia Xueye also stopped.

"How to vent?"

Yuan Yi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it very seriously, he said: "If it is a person who practices martial arts, find someone with comparable strength to fight heartily." But a person like Miss...... I don't know. ”

Seeing him look so serious, Xia Xueye couldn't help laughing. "For a powerless woman like me, she can only find someone who doesn't resist and is strong and durable, right?"

Yuan Yi was stunned at first, and then laughed as well. "Yuan Yi is naturally happy."

Xia Xueye shook her head again and again: "I don't want to break you, don't you still want to help me bring rouge?" ”

Yuan Yi nodded. "Miss is thoughtful."

At the same time, the government office, which was only one street away from them, was quiet and annoying. The blood stains of the commanders of Quzhi County who were cleaning up the backyard. And those prisoners with blurred flesh and blood were carried to the morgue of the government one by one.

Most of these people have committed capital crimes, so until now, there have been no troublemakers. Of course, this is also very likely because the matter of the government happened suddenly, and the news has not yet reached every household.

Wang Zonghuan, who should have been busy with the chores of the government office, did not care about leaving the government servants and sitting alone on the stone steps at the entrance of the government office, next to the wine he had just brought from the small shop on the street.

He waved his arms away the servants who were suspiciously approaching him, but he knew very well that he was not drunk, even if he smelled of alcohol. But he was more awake than ever.

Just because he is not yet drunk, he is already tired.

Just as he was carrying the pot of wine and was about to pour it out, he saw Xia Xueye and Yuan Yi walking towards the door of the mansion.

He looked up, his mouth full of wine. "You're back." The tone of his laid-back and natural tone was as if he had known she would come back safely.

Xia Xueye frowned: "You have been drinking?" ”

Wang Zonghuan lowered his head, glanced at the wine jug in his hand, and then shook his head: "I didn't drink it, I just tasted it, it was too astringent." With that, he poured the whole jug of wine on the ground beside him.

However, when he turned his head, he had an expression that was more bitter than bitter wine, and looked at Xia Xueye. "Do you think this matter is really related to the people in the palace?"

From his tone, Xia Xueye at least understood that he was not asking a question. So she shook her head: "I think you might be running away from something." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Yuan Yi's clothes. Motioned for him to go.

The two walked straight past Wang Zonghuan and came to the mansion.

However, when the person arrived at the door of the mansion, Yuan Yi was a little hesitant about the plan that Xia Xueye told him, he looked at Xia Xueye and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?" ”

Xia Xueye nodded firmly.

"Then if anything happens, remember to protect yourself." Yuan Yi was still a little worried.

However, in such a situation, Xia Xueye laughed: "If I can protect myself, what will I ask you to do?" As he spoke, his fingers hooked Yuan Yi's sleeve slightly. It's good to have you. ”

After these words came out, Xia Xueye realized the ambiguity in his words. However, once the words have been spoken, there is no turning back.

She stood beside Yuan Yi slightly cramped. Half-ringing, Yuan Yi spoke: "I know." As he spoke, he rested his hand on the scabbard at his side. Such a gesture made Xia Xueye think for a while that this was an important promise.

The two walked into the mansion. The state in the mansion is much better than when Xia Xueye came out, but it is still difficult to hide the strong smell of blood. As soon as Xia Xueye entered, she couldn't help frowning.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Yi used the sword wind to block the smell of blood.

However, Xia Xueye signaled that he didn't need to do this. However, after taking two steps, she seemed to have thought of something, pulled Yuan Yi's sleeve, and motioned for him to lean closer.

"I'll tell Qu Zhixian about it later, and you can go up and arrest him directly." She whispered.

Yuan Yi frowned. "How do you deal with yourself?"

"I've thought about it, but in fact, as long as you catch Quzhi County, I'll be safe. On the contrary, if we hesitate, it will be more dangerous. ”

seemed to think that her words made sense, Yuan Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally acquiesced to her words.

When the two came to the backyard, Qu Zhixian was talking to a servant who was cleaning up bloodstains.

When he saw the two of them coming from outside the house, he greeted them with some confusion and said, "Miss Xia came this time, did she hear any rumors?" ”

Xia Xueye stood still and didn't move, only smiled lightly: "There are indeed some rumors." ”

Qu Zhixian also smiled: "Since it is a rumor, Miss only needs to make jokes and listen to it." ”

Xia Xueye shook her head: "I just took it as a joke, but Xia Gongzi didn't seem to think so." The magistrate of the county is respected by Delong and loved by the people in Xiangcheng, which is well known to everyone, but it is just ......"
