Chapter 14: Catching the Thief

"A bunch of things that don't have long eyes!" Yao Feng said, slapped the leader on the head, and then smiled at Qiao Xiya, "Miss Qiao, forgive me, the people don't understand the rules, and they bumped into the girl late at night." ”

"Steward Yao," Qiao Xiya smiled slightly, "Your people, what do you mean by surrounding my Qiao family's house late at night?" ”

Yao Feng's eyes purred, and he bowed and took a step forward: "Miss Qiao, we are chasing a thief, chasing and chasing, and we are chasing you......"

"Steward Yao is saying that I have hidden thieves in Qiao's Mansion?" Chunling's eyes widened and she immediately went back.

"The little ones are also worried that thieves will break in and threaten the safety of the old lady and the girls." Yao Feng said with a smile.

"Is it true that I have no man in Qiao's family? Do you need someone from Yao Mansion to protect you? Qiao Xiya sneered and paused, "However, since Steward Yao said that my Qiao family has a thief, then please go in and search for it." It's just ......" Qiao Xiya smiled and couldn't reach the bottom of her eyes, "For the sake of the innocence of our two families, let's ask Lord Yao to personally bring someone to search for it." ”

Yao Feng, who said this, looked at everyone behind him. Yao Feng gritted his teeth, turned his head and grabbed the neck of the person in charge, and lowered his voice: "Did you really see someone climb over the wall and enter the courtyard?"

The person headed by "This ......" looked at Yao Feng and then at Qiao Xiya, stumbling, not knowing what to say.

"Rubbish!" Yao Feng let go of his hand, pushed the person away with one palm, turned to face Qiao Xiya, bowed down and said with a smile, "Miss Qiao is a lot forgiving, the people are blind, there is a lot of disturbance, say goodbye." After that, Yao Feng didn't look at Qiao Xiya anymore, turned around and left with everyone.

Walking to the mouth of the alley, Yao Feng stopped, lowered his head and turned his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Send someone to watch!"

"Yes."

Seeing that people were walking away, Qiao Xiya took people back to the house.

"Third Master Qiao, they won't really leave, please bother to stare at it a little more."

"Rest assured, girl."

"Xia He, let's go to the secret road."

"Yes."

Xia He and Chunling lit the lantern and accompanied Qiao Xiya into the dark passage on the back wall of the ear room in the back garden, and as soon as they entered the dark passage, they saw Yao Mingxi rubbing his hands, his face was full of anxiety, and the sweat on his forehead reflected the candlelight.

"Why is Brother Mingxi so embarrassed tonight." Qiao Xiya looked Yao Mingxi up and down, her eyes did not have the enthusiasm she once had, and her whole person was cold.

"I know you're blaming me." Yao Mingxi hurriedly explained, "Xiya, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that after I went back that day, I was taken care of by my father, he locked me at home, didn't allow me to go anywhere, and let Yao Feng stare at me day and night." I was able to come out today, thanks to Yao Feng's dedication a few days ago, he made himself exhausted and fell asleep, so I sneaked out and ran over the wall to find you. ”

"But Yao Feng said that they were chasing a thief." Qiao Xiya's tone softened slightly.

"He's right." Yao Mingxi showed a sly smile and took out a burden from his arms, "Na, I heard that you are going to take over the case that Uncle Chaqiao has not finished investigating, I stole the file for you from my father's study, but unfortunately I only found this." Yao Mingxi handed two or three thin booklets to Qiao Xiya, "Oh, also, I also stole some silver tickets." There will be a lot of places to spend money in the future, and you will take all of these. With that, Yao Mingxi stuffed all twenty or thirty silver tickets into Qiao Xiya's hand.

"You ......" Qiao Xiya's eyes widened, "You're not afraid that I will affect you?" ”

"Xiya." Yao Mingxi pulled Qiao Xiya into her arms and hugged her tightly, "Although you haven't passed the door yet, I, Yao Mingxi, have already regarded you as my wife, so why do you bother to say these raw words." He gently stroked Qiao Xiya's hair, "Don't worry, with me, it will be fine." ”

"Even if you're not afraid of being dragged down by me, how can you go back and face Uncle Yao? He's your father. Qiao Xiya lay on Yao Mingxi's chest, listening to Yao Mingxi's strong and powerful heartbeat, Qiao Xiya's heart seemed to have found support and gradually calmed down.

"I'm not going back." Yao Mingxi held Qiao Xiya's shoulder, staring at Qiao Xiya with both eyes, her face was full of sincerity, "I want to investigate this case with you and return Uncle Qiao's innocence." ”

"Brother Mingxi......" Qiao Xiya looked at Yao Mingxi in front of her in disbelief.

"I believe Uncle Joe, he must have been framed. I'll help you get your uncle out. ”

"Ya'er." As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Qiao Mishi hurried to the front yard with Wanzhu in his arms. Mu Liu, who followed behind, also carried a burden on his arm.

"Mother." Qiao Xiya put the file in her hand into the carriage, turned around and supported Qiao Mishi, "My daughter is about to go to the back hall to say goodbye to you, why did you come to the front yard." After three days of staying up late and reading hard, Qiao Xiya finally read all the files, although she didn't read it very clearly, but she had already made it clear where she was going, Huimeng County, Huizhou, where this case began.

"I heard Wanzhu say that you want to leave Qiao San to protect me and go alone." Qiao Mi's eyes were red, and his hands holding Qiao Xiya trembled slightly.

"Mother, my daughter doesn't worry about you. There are just you and two maids in the huge house, and my daughter is really not at ease. If Qiao San stays, her daughter can rest assured that she will investigate the case and clear her father's grievances. ”

"Silly boy." Qiao Mishi stretched out his hand to clip the broken hair in his ear behind Qiao Xiya's ear, his eyes were full of love, "You are worried about your mother, why don't you worry about your mother." You go, the mountains are high and the road is far away, Qiao San is your father's son of a small friend, if it is not for the middle of the family, Qiao San should be the martial champion of the dynasty, if you have Qiao San's company, you can rest assured as a mother. Bring Qiao San with you. ”

"So what should you do?" Qiao Xiya's face was embarrassed. She didn't know that the road was difficult, but she couldn't let go of Jomi.

"What do I have to worry about, I'm just a woman's family, I have no quarrel with the world, if you really don't feel at ease, I will take those two children back to Xianyang's hometown, and just go back to see your uncle and aunt. You see, I've packed all my things. Qiao Mi said, glancing at Mu Liu behind him.

"If my mother doesn't think the countryside is too lonely, my daughter will send you back first, and when you settle down, my daughter will go to investigate the case."

"Okay." Qiao Mishi knew that if Qiao Xiya didn't send her back, Qiao Xiya wouldn't be at ease, so she simply smiled and responded.

"Auntie." Yao Mingxi dressed as a servant and gave a deep salute to Qiao Mi's family.

"You ......" Qiao Mi looked Yao Mingxi up and down, "You kid looks so familiar...... Qiao Mi frowned, carefully thinking about the face in front of him.

"Auntie, I'm Mingxi." Yao Mingxi said with a smile. Jomi's didn't recognize him, which made him satisfied.

"You kid, why are you wearing the clothes of a man!" Jommy laughed and said with disgust.

"Auntie, I plan to go to Huizhou with Xiya. Dress like this to make it easy to get out of town. ”

"You sneaked out?" Qiao Mishi tightened Yao Mingxi's hand.
