Chapter 160: Rush to Annan County

Hearing Fan Ye report to his home, Xiao Yichen was shocked.

Sky...... Heavenly Sect?!

Is it the Heavenly Sect he knows?!

His gaze unconsciously turned to Su Qingtian.

"That's right, it's the Heavenly Sect that my little uncle knows."

The little girl's chin was raised, and she said with a confident face, "Let him go to Annan County with me, and my little uncle can rest assured now." ”

Xiao Yichen put down the consternation in his heart and shook his head towards Fan Ye.

"On this trip to Annan County, Master Lao is careful to protect my little girl."

This sentence is very sincere, Xiao Yichen really doesn't want his little niece to have any problems.

Fan Ye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw Xiao Yichen's entrustment.

Looking at Su Qingtian's face again, he immediately understood that the family didn't seem to know how powerful her skills were.

But Xiao Yichen on the other side is a member of Xiaoyou's family, so he will naturally accept the entrustment as well.

"Fifth Prince Xiao doesn't have to be polite, he will definitely send Miss Su back to his house safely."

A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the old housekeeper talked back and forth.

Dinner was ready, and so was the soft sedan carriage that went out.

Xiao Yichen took everyone to dinner.

Xiao Jingmo didn't seem to have much appetite, and Su Qingtian kept serving vegetables to the young man while eating.

He also stared at him with wide eyes and forced him to eat it all.

Xiao Nan on the side was not awkward, and directly stretched out his bowl in front of Su Qingtian, waiting for a piece of the pie.

Being troubled by Xiao Nan like this, Xiao Jingmo's mood also improved.

Xiao Yichen watched the three little babies happily finish their meals with peace of mind.

The sky was already dark, and Xiao Yichen wanted to leave Su Qingtian tomorrow.

But the little girl's little mouth said a lot, and Xiao Yichen had no choice but to let her set off tonight.

Delivered to the door of Xiao's mansion, Xiao Jingmo wrapped all the sugar-fried chestnuts and other kinds of food he bought, and stuffed them into the carriage.

Turning around, he took out a few taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed them into the little girl's hand.

"Snacks are all eaten hungry on the road." Xiao Jingmo instructed one by one, "When I go to Annan County and meet someone I like, I will use this money to buy it." ”

Su Qingtian looked at the things in her arms and smiled sweetly at the young man.

"Thank you, Brother Jingmo, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible!"

It seemed that he wanted to say something, but the boy finally didn't say anything more.

Looking at the gradually deepening night, Xiao Yichen urged to hurry up.

The carriage moved slowly along the stone pavement.

With the afterimage in the distance, Xiao Yichen and Xiao Nan both turned around and returned to the mansion.

Only the boy was alone, still standing under the lantern at the gate.

It wasn't until the carriage completely disappeared from his sight that he turned around and went back to his house after a long while.

In less than a moment, the carriage was out of the city before the gates were closed.

Fan Ye drove the carriage and ran wildly in the direction of Annan County.

If it is the first time for him to drive this car, but the horses of the Xiao Mansion are humane and very easy to control.

At first, he didn't dare to drive too fast, but after a few times, he naturally sped up.

The bumpy carriage roared, but Su Qingtian in the car was lying very comfortably in the thick cushion prepared by the old butler.

In addition to the stove and small table, there are also several cushions.

The little girl was surrounded in the cushion, and after a while, she fell asleep on her stomach.

The sky was bright.

Under Fan Ye's hurry, the carriage came to the gate of Annan County.

At this time, it was not yet time to open the city, and there were many horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts parked around the gate, as well as brave peddlers and pawns.

There was a lot of bustling around.

"Knock Knock"

Fan Ye tentatively looked at the door frame of the car, only to hear Su Qingtian's answer in a daze.

"Here we are."

A small hand lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and poked out its little head to look left and right.

Then I only heard the knock inside for a while, and the curtain in front of the carriage was lifted by Su Qingtian.

Facing the fresh air in the early morning, the little girl stretched a big lazy waist.

"Hungry?"

Fan Ye was afraid that Su Qingtian would be hungry, which was specially explained by Xiao Yichen during dinner last night.

The original words are: My little niece has nothing else, but please be sure to always prepare food for her, she must not go hungry and bother Master Fan.

If it weren't for Xiao Yichen, Xiao Jingmo and Xiao Nan's serious faces, Fan Ye would have thought that he had heard something.

"It's fine."

Su Qingtian shook her head, grabbed Fan Ye's arm, jumped out of the carriage and moved her body.

As soon as the small and agile figure appeared, it attracted the attention of the people around him.

The morning mist is covered, and the little girl in the pale morning mist is particularly eye-catching.

No one has ever seen such a beautiful and lovely little girl, just like the golden boy sitting next to Master Guanyin.

Looking around, Su Qingtian took a fancy to a kind old woman.

She was carrying two baskets full of greens, which she had come to sell in the morning market.

"Grandma, do you know when the gates will open?"

The old woman had already noticed Su Qingtian, but she didn't expect this jade-like doll to come directly to her, and she was still talking to herself softly.

Le's old woman smiled all over the place.

"Since Lord Xia came to Annan County, the law and order situation is very good, every family does not close their doors at night, and everyone does not leave no stone unturned, so this big city gate has rarely been closed."

The old woman's frowns suddenly gathered, and her voice was lowered by three points, "Who would have thought that there was a murder in this city just a month ago, and the murderer has not been caught so far." ”

"Therefore, Lord Xia ordered the city gate to be closed at the previous hour, and to check the people who came and went in and out of Annan County."

Because Su Qingtian was a little baby, the old woman was afraid of scaring her, so she hastily explained.

"The murderer has already been caught!"

A middle-aged woman who wanted to listen to their conversation said, "It's just that this murderer is extremely stubborn and refuses to admit his guilt, and the evidence on the government side is insufficient, so the verdict has been delayed until now." ”

The strong man who was squatting on the ground and sorting out the leather goods couldn't help but interject when he heard this.

"I don't think it's that person, I saw him from a distance when he was arrested, he looks like a well-born son of a rich family."

"The people around him also said that he himself owns a few shops in Annan County, how could such a rich young master do such a cruel thing as killing people and stealing goods?"

"Oh, I don't want to be involved in such a bloody and terrible murder."

"Lord Xia is a rare Qingtian master, he will never let go of the real murderer, and he will not wish for a good person in vain."

"We just need to live our own little lives and wait for the final announcement from the government."

As soon as you say a word, more and more people gather around Su Qingtian to discuss this matter.

Fan Ye was afraid that something would happen to the little girl, so he slipped to her side slowly and held her in his arms.

The eldest lady, who originally focused on Su Qingtian, was busy gossiping, and forgot about the little girl for a while, and continued while picking vegetables.

"This Lord Xia is really a rare good official, since he came to Annan County, our daily income has increased a lot."

"Yes, but this case has not been solved for a long time, I still think that things are definitely not simple, the son who was escorted away must not be the real murderer, otherwise with the trial efficiency of Lord Xia, the case would have been solved early in the morning!"

"Hey...... I hope that this murder case will end as soon as possible, and if this continues, I am afraid that Annan County will return to the days when everyone was afraid of before. ”
