Heng Yu did not show any different color, lowered his eyes and saluted: "I have seen Jiang Linggong." ”

"You are Ji Er Niang-" Jiang Zhengfu's voice could not hear joy and anger, and his body seemed to be surrounded by the innate and silent coercion of the world's innate and long-immersed officialdom.

"Exactly."

Seeing the unhurried little girl standing there, Jiang Zhengfu said after a moment, "Sit down." ”

As soon as he let him sit, Hengyu said, "Thank you Linggong", and sat down as he said, without showing fear or uneasiness.

Jiang Zhengfu looked at it in his eyes and said with a smile: "It's really brought up by the teacher himself, and it's a little different from ordinary daughters' families." ”

Hearing him take the initiative to talk about his own Ah Weng, Hengyu half-lowered his eyes and did not rush to answer.

Jiang Zhengfu continued: "Although you are young, you should also know that the official called you a teacher, and you have been taught by him, right?" ”

"Yes, the younger generation has heard of it."

"Actually, you should be called an uncle."

The girl raised her eyes, her face showed just the right amount of stunnedness, and after a while, Fang said: "Ah Weng has been gone for a long time, and the younger generation does not dare to climb in vain." ”

Jiang Zhengfu looked at her and laughed, and his tone couldn't be heard praise or disapproval: "You are young, but you have some backbones." ”

Then he didn't mention it anymore, and only said with a distant look in his eyes: "Speaking of which, the person who this official respects the most in his life is the teacher...... The sudden change in the teacher back then was also something I never expected. ”

Hengyu looked at him—a hypocrite?

"This official remembers......" Jiang Zhengfu looked at her: "In that accident, you were the only one who survived, right?" ”

Hengyu's eyes flickered, as if he didn't want to recall the old thing: "Yes." ”

"Do you remember what happened at that time?" Jiang Zhengfu seemed to have a silent scrutiny in his eyes.

"Naturally, I remember." Hengyu's eyes were slightly red 'uncontrollably': "...... When I returned home six years ago, the first thing I did was go to the Beijing government to explain what had happened to Ah Weng. Fortunately, in the past, there were saints who administered justice, so that those who did evil have been brought to justice, and Ah Weng can rest in peace under the Nine Springs. ”

Go to Kyo to leave a testimony?

Naturally, he'd already seen that.

Jiang Zhengfu remained silent, looked at the girl with extremely red eyes, and asked slowly: "In your opinion, are those people really just ordinary mountain bandits?" ”

Heng Yu grabbed his sleeves tightly, raised his teary eyes to look at him, was stunned, and asked in surprise: "...... What does Jiang Linggong mean by this? Could it be that you suspect that there is something else going on in my Ah Weng's death?! ”

She showed exactly what she was doing – a little clever, but not much.

Jiang Zhengfu probably didn't expect her to suddenly throw the question at herself, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This official just wants you to recall whether there is anything suspicious about those mountain bandits back then." ”

Hengyu stood up suddenly, looked at Jiang Zhengfu with tearful eyes for a moment, and said eagerly: "If Jiang Linggong really finds out something, please tell me bluntly, the younger generation and the grandmother and brother in the family will be grateful!" ”

Jiang Zhengfu: "......"

This was not the direction he expected.

"Ling Gong ......" the girl solemnly saluted him.

Jiang Zhengfu had a headache and said: "The official didn't find anything, but he was just a little suspicious, if you didn't notice anything suspicious, then maybe the official was suspicious." ”

The girl looked at him with tears in her eyes, half-incredulously.

Jiang Zhengfu added a little weakly: "This official just asked casually, you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

Hengyu wiped his tears and nodded reluctantly: "Yes...... The juniors understood. ”

Jiang Zhengfu couldn't ask any more questions.

I could only change the topic and said: "The official also wants to thank you for coming to Xi'er's birthday banquet today." ”

Heng Yu seemed to be still trapped in Fang Cai's mood and couldn't come back to his senses, and replied a little absentmindedly when he heard the words: "The junior was invited to come, which made the public polite......"

"In the past, she didn't interact with people very much." mentioned his daughter, Jiang Zhengfu's tone unconsciously softened a little: "It's rare for her to have such a match...... If you are compatible, you will have more dealings with each other in the future. ”

Heng Yu should go down.

"It's getting late." Jiang Zhengfu didn't say anything else, called the steward in, and ordered: "Let people send Ji Er Niangzi." ”

Hengyu saluted: "The juniors say goodbye." ”

Jiang Zhengfu bowed his head and watched her figure disappear outside the door of the study.

Hengyu followed the Jiang family's descendants all the way out of the gate of the Jiang Mansion, and his eyes showed a thoughtful look.

"Girl, why do you seem to be crying?" After getting into his own carriage, Cui Huai dared to ask nervously.

"Pretended." Hengyu, who was still in thought, replied expressionlessly.

Cui Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage slowly drove out of the confines of Jiang's Mansion.

After walking like this for less than half an hour, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Who's in the way?" Cheng Ping's vigilant voice came into Heng Yu's ears through the car curtain.

Heng Yu came back to his senses in an instant, and as soon as he opened the curtain, he heard an emotionless voice sound: "It's me." ”

Wang Jingyong dismounted and approached the carriage.

Cheng Ping let down his guard at this time, faced the carriage and said, "The one surnamed Wang next to Xiao Hou." ”

Vice General Wang, who is not worthy of his full name, twitched slightly when he heard this.

Cuihuai had already raised the curtain of the car, and Hengyu said to Wang Jingyong: "You have worked hard tonight, and you are tired of reporting peace to the Hou Ye for me." ”

Previously, Xiao Mu had said that he would arrange for people to guard near Jiang's Mansion to ensure her safety.

Wang Jingyong paused, subconsciously responded, held the idea of complying, hugged his fists and saluted, and led the horse away.

Cui Huai lowered the curtain.

After a while, without waiting for Cheng Ping to start the carriage again, Cuihuai couldn't help asking, "Uncle Ping, why don't you leave?" ”

Cheng Ping frowned and wondered: "Why does the surnamed Wang keep leading the horse?" ”

Cui Huai was puzzled: "Huh? "Yes.

Wang Jingyong led the horse to the river not far away, and saluted: "General, Ji Huashi asked his subordinates to report safety to the general for her." ”

Xiao Mu, who was standing under a willow tree by the river, nodded and asked, "What about her?" ”

Wang Jingyong subconsciously glanced at the direction that Fang Cai Hengyu was passing by: "You should go." ”

Xiao Mu: ?

"Didn't you tell her that I was waiting here?"

If he were to stand in front of him today, he would never have asked such an unbelievable question.

Wang Jingyong was stunned and shook his head: "No ......"

The general told him to wait for Master Ji to pass by, and he complied.

Master Ji asked him to report safety with the general, and he did so.

Xiao Mu: ". ”

Seeing that his general was silent and turned his head to look at the river, Vice General Wang began to try to do some self-reflection: "General, did your subordinates do something wrong?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Mu couldn't say more: "Go back." ”

Wang Jingyong responded.

At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard footsteps approaching here.

The night was quiet, and the footsteps obviously did not mean to hide it—

The person who came carried the lamp, and as he approached, it could be seen that the girl's clean and fresh light green skirt and a pair of pale blue embroidered shoes were reflected under the lamp.

"It's really a Hou Ye." The girl's voice was soft, and even her steps were light and joyful when she walked over.

Under the signal of his own general's eyes, Vice General Wang retreated.

“…… It's ugly for you. Looking at the direction in which his subordinates left, Xiao Mu said.

"This is the deputy general of the king." Hengyu commented objectively.

Xiao Mu laughed: "In your place, he has become a special word." ”

"People always have shortcomings, and Vice General Wang is still very reliable above business."

As the two spoke, they tacitly raised their feet and walked forward slowly.

The gentle night breeze blows across the river, and the two of them are the lamp.

"Why did you come here yourself?" Heng Yu asked curiously, "Shouldn't you be here all night?" ”

Xiao Mu coughed lightly: "Just arrived." ”

"Oh, that's a coincidence."

"How's it going tonight?" Someone weakly pulls the topic away.

"There isn't much out of the ordinary, and there's nothing worth mentioning, but it does seem like we're suspicious." Heng Yu roughly explained what he saw: "...... The birthday banquet was no different, but before leaving, Jiang Zhengfu met with me alone and said something. ”

"Alone?" Xiao Mu turned his head to look at her.

"He deliberately asked me if I thought there was something else going on with what happened to Aung nine years ago, and I was roughly fooled—"

Xiao Mu twisted his eyebrows slightly and thought: "Is this move a temptation?" ”

The real murderer behind the scenes tested whether the surviving little girl noticed something unusual?

"Obviously a temptation." Heng Yu said objectively: "But for what purpose, it's not easy to make a conclusion. ”

Xiao Mu nodded: "But in any case, since he has set his sights on you this time, he should be more vigilant in the future." ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "Then again, if today's birthday banquet was not his arrangement, but he never thought of testing it when you returned to Beijing for so long, why did you come up with an idea today?" ”

"I also thought about this question in the car...... Either he was vaguely aware that I was tracking down the tattoo pattern, or it was because of another incident that happened at Jiang's house today. ”

Xiao Mu looked at her: "What's the matter?" ”

"The county lord of Jiayi also arrived at Jiang's Mansion today and recognized me as a teacher."

"Lord Jiayi?" Xiao Mu was quite surprised.

"Master Hou is so well-informed, it shouldn't be that he hasn't heard of it until now." Heng Yu looked ahead and reasonably: "Shouldn't it be how long I have been in Jiang Mansion, and how long you have been guarding here, so you haven't had a chance to listen to the news outside, right?" ”

Xiao Mu's eyes dodged for a moment, and he also looked ahead, and asked selectively deaf: "...... Why did the county lord of Jiayi suddenly recognize you as a teacher? ”

"What's so strange about this, I think I'm also from a scholarly family, so I'm famous." Hengyu speculated: "Or maybe Jiang Zhengfu heard about it, and after thinking about it carefully, hey, this little girl was able to coax the county lord of Jiayi to apprentice, I think there are some tricks and tricks, I'm afraid it's not easy, why don't you try her?" ”

Faced with this too casual speculation, Xiao Mu nodded-although it came casually, it was extremely reasonable.

"This Jiang Linggong is indeed incomprehensible...... Heng Yu said slowly: "I was thinking in the car, maybe our intuition is right." ”

- What happened back then, there was someone else behind the scenes.

Xiao Mu was noncommittal: "But as you just said, it is not enough to make the following conclusions at the moment. ”

Heng Yu nodded, and the two of them walked slowly for a while in silent thought.

"The son of the Jiang family was poisoned back then, have you ever thought about talking to Jiang Zhengfu?" Heng Yu suddenly thought of this, and said, "If you can solve this misunderstanding, at least it will be of some benefit to your current situation." ”

This old incident, of course, has nothing to do with Shi Jingzhi's old hatred, but it has a decisive relationship with Jiang Zhengfu's hostility towards Xiao Mu.

"I've thought about it too." Xiao Mu said: "The key is that this matter is just what Lan Qing said, and there is no evidence to prove whether it is true or false, and it is not sure who did it." is so empty and unfounded, even if he says it, Jiang Zhengfu will never believe it, or he is suspicious of it as my excuse. ”

"Yes." Heng Yu pondered: "This matter may have to be met by Yan Yu to have a relatively clear answer. ”

"No trace of him has been found yet." Xiao Mu paused for a moment and looked at the extraordinarily deep river under the cover of night: "Before the negotiation time is favorable to him, I am afraid that he will not show up easily-and I have solved the treasure map dilemma this time, and the relationship with the imperial court has a little room for recovery, which is not what he is happy to see." ”

Hengyu nodded.

Yan Meng was waiting for a "messy" word.

Such a situation will not occur.

"I'll send more men to continue to spy on his hiding place." Xiao Mu said.

"That's all for now, I'll keep an eye on it."

After saying this, Heng Yu untied the purse around his waist: "By the way, I have something to confirm with you——"

Xiao Mu looked at the purse that she had untied in puzzlement.

"Doctor Yan's real name, but it's called Yue Yan?"

"Yes." Xiao Mu nodded, and then asked, "Where did you find out?" ”

It came from the mouth of the Jiang girl. She and Doctor Yan, but old acquaintances? ”

Xiao Mu thought for a while before he said, "Maybe." ”

Hengyu was puzzled: "Maybe?" ”

"I didn't know about this before, and I never heard Yan Ming talk about it." Xiao Mu explained: "But Yan Ming has lived in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing since he was a child, and that Zhuangzi is adjacent to the place where the Jiang family girl was recuperating when she was a child - the Jiang family had a close relationship at that time, and the stewards of their respective Zhuangzi also moved around a lot, and they may have had contacts at that time. ”

Heng Yu suddenly said: "So it's no wonder...... The girl of the Jiang family said that they grew up together when they were young. ”

She recognized at a glance that the knots on the purse were exactly the same as those made by Doctor Yan. Heng Yu deduced: "It seems that the two should have a close relationship, and she is very concerned about whether Doctor Yan is safe now." ”

While speaking, Heng Yu handed over the purse: "I haven't revealed anything to her for the time being, I just said that I will try to help her inquire about it." ”

Xiao Mu took it and nodded, "I will tell Yan Ming." ”

"Say something that doesn't sound very good...... Heng Yu hesitated for a moment, and said in the end: "The Jiang family's girl's body doesn't seem to be very optimistic. ”

Whether it's a birthday party, or if you want to try something new that you haven't tried before, these seemingly new vitality seems to be ......

Xiao Mu was silent for a moment and held his purse: "Okay, I'll tell him the truth." ”

……

After returning to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Xiao Mu told Wang Jingyong: "Let Yan Ming come to the study to see me." ”

Wang Jingyong responded and went immediately.

When Xiao Mu came to the study, he saw that there was already someone waiting for him inside.
