Chapter 505: Eavesdropping

The sun was setting in the west and rising in the east, and soon another day passed.

In the early morning of this day, Empress Yin, who had stayed up for two nights without sleep, finally prepared the medicine to treat the city lord's wife.

Fan Xi was busy feeding his wife with his own hands.

About three or four hours later, witnessing the wake up of the city lord's wife, who had been in a coma for five or six days, Fan Xi was completely relieved, and even turned around and knelt down for Queen Yin with tears on his face.

"I came from a humble background, my family was poor and my parents died early, if it weren't for my wife and my father-in-law's family to support me in studying and becoming a career, I would not be able to get to where I am today. For so many years, my wife has been with me, for my confidant and beloved, no matter what hardships I encountered, I have not complained about it, that is, I will exchange my life for my wife, and I will not hesitate. If it weren't for the eldest princess and the divine doctor, my wife and I would probably be separated from heaven and man at this time, and my Fan family will remember this kindness, and please accept my worship. ”

Empress Yin was busy helping Fan Xi.

Fan Xi couldn't kneel down, so he bowed down with all his strength directly under her support.

Ren Yi patted Queen Yin's shoulder and signaled that she didn't have to shirk too much.

The two of them came out of the house and left time for the lord and his wife to talk.

Outside the house, Xia Qingyang was waiting with his sleeves folded.

Hearing the knock at the door, she turned around and asked, "How are the people?" ”

"The pulse has recovered, and the toxins have been removed. But over the years, Mrs.'s body bones have been dragged down, and she needs to be slowly adjusted to recover. Empress Yin said, "I have left a recipe for food and medicinal food, which should be able to help City Lord Fan." ”

"Good work." Xia Qingyang looked at the blue and black in Queen Yin's eyes with some distress, "Go and rest, Brother Xu, they are packing up their things, we should be able to set off before dusk." ”

Empress Yin nodded, and she didn't shirk politeness - she was really tired, and she had to hurry next, so she could take advantage of this time during the day to sleep a little longer to recover her energy.

Watching Empress Yin go back to her room to sleep, Ren Yi asked Xia Qingyang: "Has the food been distributed?" ”

"Well, from house to house, there are a lot of households." Xia Qingyang handed over the counted account book to Ren Yi.

Ren Yi smiled, opened it and looked at it briefly.

I don't know if I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it, in just a few days, Xia Qingyang and they actually took out more than 20,000 catties of white flour and more than 3,000 catties of rice for food distribution and porridge.

Vena City is a populous city, with more than 3,400 households.

Rao is Ren Yi is somewhat mentally prepared, but still a little dizzy.

"Qingyang, the credit grain in the towns in the future ......"

"Your Highness, don't worry, it's enough." Xia Qingyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he caught a glimpse of the door behind Ren Yi opening a crack, paused slightly, and said, "My senior brother, they said that they are grateful that His Highness cares about the people's livelihood, and they are willing to contribute all the food accumulated by the master over the years, and make a modest contribution to the warmth and satisfaction of the common people." As for the method of transporting it, His Highness does not have to worry, it is supported by the secret method of the Immortal Family. ”

Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that Xia Qingyang didn't say that this grain was bought from other countries before, but now why has it become a gift from a teacher.

However, before she could recover her senses, she heard a sudden sound behind her.

Ren Yi turned his head suddenly, only to find that Fan Xi didn't know when he was hiding at the door and eavesdropping.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sorry to bother you, but I, I just wanted to ask, are you going to leave today, and don't stay in Vena City for a few more days. ”

Fan Xi looked a little flustered, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the two, this kind of panicked performance was even worse than when he saw Xu Jiaotou two days ago.

Xia Qingyang: "Well, there is the city lord of Laofan who has bothered, we have already packed up and left in the evening." ”

Hearing Xia Qingyang reply to him, Fan Xi's shoulders shrank slightly, and his voice trembled-this is a manifestation of extreme fear: "Yes, yes, then the lower officials won't bother, don't bother......"

Ren Yi looked at the performance of the two and frowned slightly.

When she arrived at a convenient place to speak, she grabbed Xia Qingyang and asked, "You just said that on purpose, so that Fan Xi could hear it?" Why? ”

"I have a vague guess." Xia Qingyang stopped and said, "If the Gu poison in the body of the City Lord's wife was planted by Xi Deng Guo in order to manipulate Fan Xi, then Fan Xi must be very sensitive to things like 'Immortal Family Secret Method' and 'Cultivators', or rather, have some understanding. ”

"That's why he was so scared when he heard you say it just now?"

"Hmm. Maybe Fan Xi knows something. Xia Qingyang said lightly, "I'm going to startle the snake with grass and see if I can surprise anything." ”

"Wouldn't it be good to arrest him and interrogate him?" Ren Yi somewhat disagreed with such a dangerous temptation, "In case he reports your matter to Xi Deng Guo......"

"No, it won't." Xia Qingyang said confidently, "His wife's illness means that the person who poisoned him has given up on him, and he is not qualified to contact the other party again." Now, if we cure his wife, there is no need for him to go back to curry favor with the poisoner, in that case, wouldn't he have to put his wife in danger again? What's in it for you? ”

Besides, the secret that can't be forced out by [hypnosis] talent. Even if it was interrogation and torture, Fan Xi probably wouldn't say anything.

After listening to her explanation, Ren Yi accepted her temptation to take such a "risk".

The two went back to help Lao Xu and them pack up. Throughout the day, Fan Xi's side was very quiet, not to mention the snake that was startled by the grass, it seemed that even the grass could not shake it.

Maybe Fan Xi was scared, or maybe he really didn't want to have any more contact with these fairies and monstersβ€”Ren Yi said to Xia Qingyang.

-

As the sun set, it was time for the group to get ready to leave Vena City.

When the common people heard that the eldest prince was leaving, they were reluctant to say goodbye.

And Fan Xi, as the lord of a city, naturally has to be present at this time.

"The city lord doesn't have to send it far."

As if nothing had happened, Ren Yi still treated Fan Xi calmly and with dignity.

Fan Xi bowed down, thanked Ren Yi for giving food, and said a bunch of auspicious words such as "safe all the way".

Finally, at the end, he asked the master to bring up the things he had prepared in advance.

"This thing is many years ago, when the lower officials met the first emperor, the first emperor gave the treasure mirror, which means 'the mirror hangs high', and taught the officials to enforce the law fairly, clean and honest. The lower official thought about it, and this thing was the most suitable to prove the intention of the lower official, so it was given to His Royal Highness. ”

Fan Xi said this cleverly.

On the surface, he seems to be self-proclaimed honest and honest, but the meaning of the words can taste a little bit of loyalty to Ren Yi.

No, as soon as he got into the carriage, Ren Yi said to Xia Qingyang: "Although this Fan Xi is timid and afraid, he is very smart and knows how to judge the situation. After only a few days of contact, he already expected that I was going to seek great things, so he used my father's things to curry favor with me. ”
