Xinyu was silent.

Do you want her to tell He Qingxiao that she is the fish that slipped through the net in the valley bloodbath?

can't give a reason, for He Qingxiao, she is his assassin, and she will not let her go.

She looked deeply at the man who was close at hand.

He has a complexion that is inferior to that of a woman, and he looks like he is not as burly and strong, which makes people subconsciously underestimate his own strength.

Xin Yu is annoyed by her impatience, but she will not escape the consequences of failure.

"Lord He is now sure that I am the one who attacked you, why didn't you take me to the Yamen for questioning?"

Xin Yu's evasion and non-answer did not surprise He Qingxiao, and his face was not gloomy: "The officials in Jinlinwei's edict prison are all criminals. Miss Kou should have treated me out of personal grudges, and I think it would be more appropriate to settle it privately. ”

"What if I can't give a reason?"

He Qingxiao hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and her tone couldn't tell whether it was sarcasm or self-deprecation: "He shouldn't be so disgusting that he takes my life for no reason, right?" ”

His eyes were light and his expression was peaceful, and he did not show the slightest anger or cruelty towards his assassins.

Faced with him like this, Xin Yu knew that if he talked too much, he would startle the snake, but he couldn't help but ask: "Lord He's trip to the south, what kind of difference did you go out of, and what kind of blood did you see?" ”

He Qingxiao immediately asked, "What Miss Kou did yesterday has something to do with this?" ”

Xinyu's silence made him understand the answer.

"I'm sorry, but the trip to the south was on the emperor's order and cannot be disclosed to the public."

"Is it true that the emperor will kill whoever the emperor asks you to kill, no matter whether that person is good or evil?"

This time, Kiyo was silent.

Xin Yu also hooked the corners of his lips: "So it's not uncommon for someone to have grievances who want Lord He's life." ”

He Qingxiao's inquiring gaze fell on the girl's face, and she really couldn't think of what the trip to the south in early summer had to do with the girl Kou who was living in Shaoqing's mansion with both her parents dead.

Perhaps, he should check on Miss Ko's parents?

Flashing this thought, He Qingxiao's eyes returned to indifference: "Since Miss Kou doesn't want to say it, I won't force it." I just hope that Miss Kou will stop here, so as not to end it. ”

Xin Yu was stunned.

He Qingxiao doesn't plan to pursue this?

Seeing her doubts, He Qingxiao smiled: "Don't hide it from Miss Kou, I am naturally more sensitive than ordinary people, although I have encountered more accidents, but most of them can be avoided." If you want to take my life on your own, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. ”

"I can't figure out why Lord He said this to me."

"Probably because I hope that every time I come to the bookstore, I just read a book, instead of fighting with Miss Kou."

Obviously there are some outrageous reasons, but Xin Yu actually thinks it is very reasonable.

It's a choice that Lord He, who often rubs books, will make.

"Miss Kou, take your leave." He Qingxiao left the girl with a complicated expression and strode away.

After a long time, Xin Yu walked out of the depths of the bookshelf and went to the east courtyard without saying a word.

When the shopkeeper Hu came over, he saw Liu Zhou humming a little song and working, and wondered, "What happy things happened?" ”

The corners of Liu Zhou's mouth grinned: "It's okay, it's okay, I just think that our bookstore has a bright future." ”

Lord He whispered to the owner for a long time, which greatly exceeded the relationship between ordinary guests and the owner of the bookstore. In the future, if Lord He becomes their uncle, the bookstore will have a big backer.

Although Shopkeeper Hu didn't know that the young man's thoughts flew to the sky, he agreed with this sentence: "You still need to say it, work hard." ”

He Qingxiao arrived at the yamen and instructed his subordinates: "Check the situation of Kou Qingqing's parents, the cousin girl of Shaoqing's mansion." ”

Not long after, his subordinates reported the preliminary investigation to He Qingxiao.

"Kou Qingqing's father's name is Kou Tianming, his father is good at business, has accumulated a lot of wealth, but only Kou Tianming has a son, close to the clansmen in the troubled times or died or scattered, and later the world was stable and only one clan got together, but the blood relationship has been very far away. Kou Tianming and his wife Duan have only one daughter, and that is Kou Qingqing......"

The subordinates said the general situation of the three members of the Kou family, focusing on Kou's father: "Kou Tianming was a jinshi in the fifth year of Xingyuan, and he was transferred to the prefect of Wanyang four years ago, and he fell into the river on the way to the post——"

He Qingxiao raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to stop first.

"Wanyang?"

He thought of the bookshelf at dusk, and when Miss Kou wanted to leave, he asked him if the destination of his trip to the south was Wanyang.

Wanyang must be a very special place for Miss Kou, and the place where her father went to work four years ago was Wanyang.

"Go on."

"After the bad news of Kou Tianming's accident came back, Duan's family couldn't stand the blow and died, and before his death, he sold his wealth and sent his only daughter Kou Qingqing to Beijing to join his grandfather's family......"

The rest of the matter is that his subordinates don't say it, and He Qingxiao also knows something.

After thinking for a while, He Qingxiao made a decision: "Let's investigate the situation when Master Kou went to work." ”

It's been four years, Jin Linwei is not omnipotent, He Qingxiao doesn't think he will be able to find anything, but Miss Kou's attitude towards him does arouse his curiosity.

And—

He Qingxiao's thoughts paused for a moment, but he didn't shy away from his true thoughts: he didn't want Miss Kou to treat him as an enemy.

He hoped that outside of the storm in the middle of the court, Qingsong Bookstore would always be a place where he could relax a little, and the owner of the bookstore would silently let the guy put on a new travelogue as before, and repay him for his help with a little effort.

Although Xin Yu couldn't figure out why He Qingxiao didn't pursue it, she didn't bother herself, quickly adjusted her mentality, and decided to contact Zhou Ningyue again.

Hearing the conversation between Zhou Tong and his wife that night, although Zhou Tong said that he didn't know the attitude above, he may have lied to appease his wife's emotions.

And whether Zhou Tong knows it or not will determine her future plans.

Compared with the lively and fun-loving Ji Cailan, Zhou Ningyue didn't know whether it was because of the shadow of her leg injury or her quiet nature, so she didn't go out much, and Xin Yu saw Ji Cailan first.

It was not difficult to lead Ji Cailan to take the initiative to find it, and as soon as a notice with the approximate sales time of the lower part of "Painted Skin" was posted on the outer wall of the bookstore, the news spread.

The swarming Guozijian students surrounded the Qingsong Bookstore, causing the guys at the Yaxin Bookstore opposite to turn red.

Seeing that the guy was angry, the shopkeeper sneered: "It's just a momentary scenery, what are you panicking about." ”

The little girl was still not calm enough, and revealed the sales time of the lower part of "Painted Skin" early, just so that they could prepare well.

Xin Yu hid in the reception room connected to the study hall, ignoring the bustle outside, until Ji Cailan stepped through the door of the bookstore two days later.

"Boss, your friend is here." Shi had already been advised by Xin Yu, and as soon as he saw Ji Cailan coming in, he ran into the reception room to report.

Xin Yu got up, pulled the hem of his shirt and walked out.

"Sister Ji is here."

Xin Yu's appearance surprised Ji Cailan: "Sister Kou is here!" I heard that the time for the sale of the lower part of "Painted Skin" came out, and I couldn't help but come and see it. ”

"Sister Ji came in and spoke."

Xin Yu took Ji Cailan into the reception room.
