Xuan Zhizhou touched his white beard twice, stood up and said: "What Scholar Jiang said is very true, since this Ye girl said that she saw that person, it is better to let the painter in the house come, roughly draw the appearance of that person, and post it all over the city." ”

Master Li snorted: "Xuanzhizhou is confused, didn't you hear this girl just now, she can't remember what she looks like, how can a painter paint?" ”

The crowd was silent.

Ye Lingwu said: "I don't remember his appearance, but a servant girl next to me also saw it, and she must have seen the person's appearance." ”

Xuan Zhizhou touched his beard's hand for a moment, and said in a nervous voice: "What Miss Ye said is true?" ”

Ye Lingwu said with a tense face: "Of course." ”

Xuan Zhizhou said: "What about her? ”

Ye Lingwu said: "Yuanchen was injured that day and was recuperating in the mansion. ”

Xuan Zhizhou and several adults glanced at each other and looked at Jiang Yuanchao: "This matter has been written to Your Majesty, and it must be investigated as soon as possible before the will is issued, since the maid on Miss Ye's side has seen the appearance of that person clearly, it is better to ......" He looked at Ye Lingwu again, "It's not early now, if Miss Ye doesn't mind, I will bring someone to the Zhizhou Mansion tonight, let the painter draw the appearance of that person, and post it to the whole city early tomorrow morning." ”

Ye Lingwu hesitated.

This time I went out of the mansion to hide it from everyone in the mansion, and if I came out again at night, I would definitely not be able to hide it from Mrs. Shen.

"What? Miss Ye, is this unwilling? "Xuanzhi State Road.

Ye Lingwu frowned slightly, and was not sure how to answer, but Jiang Yuan said: "Miss Ye thinks it's inconvenient to come out of the house, so it's better for me to pick up Miss Ye in person at night." ”

“？” Ye Lingwu suddenly looked up at Jiang Yuan.

He went to pick it up, if Qin Mingyu knew about it, then she wouldn't have to spend the New Year in the Hou Mansion, and she wouldn't have to go back to Beijing if she was sent back to Yuzhou directly.

"What Scholar Jiang said is a good way, you are quite used in the imperial court, and I think that coming to the Ningbei Hou Mansion will also see how much face you have. This matter will be troublesome to Scholar Jiang. "Xuanzhizhou has made up his mind.

Jiang Yuan didn't answer first, but went to watch Ye Lingwu's expression first, and seeing her frowning, he said gently: "Miss Ye don't have to worry, I will tell the old lady about this matter, and I will never embarrass you." ”

Ye Lingwu saw that his expression was sincere, so he nodded.

It was getting dark.

Jiang Yuan went to the Shen family to rent a house as promised.

When a distinguished guest arrived, it reached Qin Mingyu's ears as soon as possible, and she immediately took a few female envoys to Tan Yun Pavilion in a hurry, and when the female envoy opened the warm curtain and entered, Jiang Yuan was sitting under the side talking to Old Lady Shen.

"Why don't you come to sit with me when Scholar Jiang comes? Pan'er also talked to me just now, saying that he hadn't seen Scholar Jiang for a long time. Qin Mingyu stepped into the house with a posture.

Jiang Yuan got up with a smile, raised his arm and said, "Please be the eldest princess of Jiayi." Jiang also has something to talk to the old lady about tonight. ”

Qin Mingyu said: "It turns out that Scholar Jiang came to find his mother on purpose, and I don't know what it is?" ”

Old Lady Shen stopped twisting the Buddha beads, frowned, and said, "He didn't come to find my wife on purpose, he came to find Ling girl." Anyway, since Scholar Jiang is specially here to invite, then let her go with you, but you have to protect me, I don't want anything to happen to this girl. ”

Jiang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Jiang remember." ”

Qin Mingyu was confused, and after seeing the people leave, he couldn't help but ask, "Mother, what did Scholar Jiang suddenly do when he was looking for Ling Ya?" The two of them hadn't spoken a few words before. ”

Old Lady Shen said in a deep voice: "What, are you still thinking about the marriage between Scholar Jiang and Pan'er?" ”

Qin Mingyu choked, and lowered his eyes as a default.

Old Mrs. Shen sneered: "The marriage between the two of them is also your heart, and Scholar Jiang has already made it clear that he has no intention, so you don't want to ask for it." ”

Qin Mingyu was dissatisfied: "When did the daughter-in-law force it, it's just that Jiang Wangshu's child is indeed quite promising, and his background is not bad, so if our family doesn't fight, then it will fall into someone else's house." ”

Old Mrs. Shen didn't know if it was okay, picked up the tea bowl on the desk, and said slowly: "I see that after this incident, there is indispensable friction between the famous family in Huainan and the court in the capital, let's wait and see what happens." ”

The carriage to the Zhizhou Mansion specially chose the quiet small official road in the city, approaching the New Year, most of the shops in the city closed early, coupled with the turmoil in the previous yen, many people in the city have returned to the name of the hometown, out of the city to avoid the limelight, yes, this small official road is more secluded.

Not only is the car gorgeous, but it also has a small brazier made of white iron paulownia wood in the compartment, and the stove is boiling steaming tea.

Rong Xiu sat next to Ye Lingwu, Jiang Yuan sat opposite the two, and suddenly said: "Actually, Miss Ye can also tell Shen Xiaohou what she knows, Shen Xiaohou is an upright person, if he tracks it down, he will definitely act faster than the Zhizhou Mansion." ”

Ye Lingwu frowned, pursed his lips unnaturally, and said, "Scholar Jiang's words do you feel that the Zhizhou Mansion is not as good as the Hou Ye?" I thought that the Zhizhou Mansion would be more powerful than a military general like Hou Ye. ”

Jiang Yuan chuckled silently, as if he had seen through something.

"Actually, I have only met with Shen Xiaohou Ye a few times, although I haven't learned that he is very powerful, but I have heard a lot of those deeds of Shen Xiaohou, and I also know that this Zhaoguo girl admires all of them, but I see that Miss Ye has the meaning of avoiding Hou Ye?"

Ye Lingwu paused, and Rong Xiu hurriedly explained: "Scholar Jiang misunderstood, our girl naturally respects Hou Ye more, and avoiding it is also respecting and staying away." ”

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when the body suddenly shook and stopped.

The three of them were all puzzled, and Jiang Yuan pushed the curtain, only to find that the carriage was parked in an uninhabited alley.

The coachman on the side leaned crookedly against the wall of the outer compartment, with an arrow stuck in his chest, and he didn't need to probe for breath, just looking at the blood stains flowing from his wounds.

Suddenly, a cold arrow was shot in the air, narrowly grazing the carriage.

Jiang Yuan frowned, only to see a person in front of him with a bow and arrow, walking unhurriedly towards the darkness, he was burly, wearing old armor and black clothes, with a big knife pinned to his waist, and his face was covered with a black cloth, almost melting into the darkness.

Jiang Yuan felt bad and hurriedly retracted into the carriage.

Ye Lingwu saw his solemn expression and said, "Scholar Jiang, what's going on outside?" ”

As the words fell, an arrow shot through the carriage and grazed past the eyes of the three people.

Rong Xiu screamed in fright, Ye Lingwu was also so frightened that his back stiffened, Jiang Yuan was calm, but cold sweat was already breaking out in his palms.

Before the three of them could recover their senses, there was a loud "bang", and the door was slashed open.

The man was also exquisite, and snorted coldly: "Someone spent money to buy the lives of the three of you, what are your last words to say now, and when you finish speaking, you will have one, one...... Hit the road. ”

The man spoke very softly, with the smell of wine all over his body, and after speaking, he took out a wine gourd from behind his waist, and his leisurely appearance was sure that the three people in the carriage had no power to fight back.
