A feast until night.

Although Xia Jingyun is the first time to come into contact with the wine banquet of this era, he is like this when he drinks, he is just as swaying, and he advances and retreats freely.

His performance as if he was born to know fell in the eyes of everyone, and he was naturally secretly surprised.

Old Man Yun looked at his only apprentice in this life with satisfaction, and said, "Gao Yang, there is something I need to explain to you clearly. ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly avoided the table and got up, "Master, please speak." ”

"No formality, sit down." Old Man Yun stretched out his hand and pressed it, and then said: "The day of Concubine De's mother's family is approaching, and the old man is in a place where everyone's eyes and ears are focused, this is delicate, the master-apprentice relationship between you and me, it is inconvenient to publicize it to the outside world for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, you may understand?" ”

Xia Jingyun immediately said: "This is also the protection of the apprentice, of course the apprentice can understand." ”

Old Man Yun bowed his head in satisfaction, and then looked at Feng Xiuyun.

Feng Xiuyun hurriedly stood up, "Please rest assured, the old lady, the slave will not confide in this matter." ”

"Okay, it's not too early, Gao Yang won Wenkui today, and he hasn't gone home to reunite with his family, so we drank this cup!"

After drinking, Old Lady Yun took Xia Jingyun's hand and took him to the study.

As the saying goes: A woman's heart and a man's study are not open to others.

So Xia Jingyun, who followed in, cheered up, for fear that something would be inappropriate to deal with.

Old Man Yun closed the door, slowly walked to the chair and sat down, "Today's matter, although it is over on the surface, but there will be aftermath afterwards, behind that Zheng Gongzi, there is Jianning Taishou, there is Zhou Xuexuezheng, and a group of Confucians who have lost their integrity, sometimes it is not necessary for Zheng Tianyu to do it himself, there are some small evils for the main merit, you must be on guard." ”

Xia Jingyun naturally knew this, but the old man cared, so he naturally couldn't pretend to say something stupid like I already had a number in my heart, and agreed seriously.

Looking at his serious appearance, Old Man Yun smiled, "Don't worry too much, I came forward to speak for you today, no matter who it is, if you want to deal with you, you have to weigh it." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled at this time, "Also, Master, your prestige only needs to show a trace of it, which is enough to deter Xiaoxiao and make them dare not move." ”

People never hate nice words, but they are often swayed by another preconceived impression, and people who don't like it say something nice, that is, they are flamboyant, frivolous and hateful.

Old Man Yun was so useful at the moment, and he smiled slightly a few times before retracting his smile, "I asked you to come in, there is still something I need to tell you." ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun, "I asked the guards in the palace to find out your details, and when I asked the supervisor in the labor camp, the other party said that two days ago, someone also asked him about your news. ”

！！！

Xia Jingyun's pupils shrank when he boarded, and a cool and creepy feeling instantly rose from his back, as if there were countless snakes crawling silently.

Two days ago, the cultural meeting had not yet been held, and he was just a hard worker who had just come out of the labor camp, and he had no contact with anyone, so who would find out his details?

Is it the wife and brother of the county commander of the neighboring county who schemingly robbed their Xia family's ancestral property?

Or Zheng Tianyu?

"Oh, and there's a little thing." Old Man Yun said solemnly: "These days, don't go out of the city if you have nothing to do, I heard that the bandits outside are making a lot of trouble, and many people have died." ”

Xia Jingyun was solemn.

A moment later, Xia Jingyun and Feng Xiuyun walked out of the Cloud Mansion.

Because of Concubine De's proximity, there is no curfew in the city this month, and there are still a lot of people coming and going on the street at this moment.

Feng Xiuyun looked sideways slightly, looked at Xia Jingyun's side face, and sighed in her heart, just one day later, she had changed from Xia Jingyun's unattainable appearance to a posture of looking up at the other party.

That strange and absurd idea has been ruthlessly shattered before it can be put into practice.

Xia Jingyun's mind at this moment was still whirling what Master Fang Cai told him, and there was actually another group of people investigating his details!

He has never been a person who sits still, and if he doesn't figure this out, he's afraid he won't be able to sleep well.

So he turned his head to look at Feng Xiuyun, "My lord, I want to ask you something?" ”

Feng Xiuyun suppressed the suddenly churning thoughts, took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and wanted to put on a cold and arrogant posture like in the past, and then remembered that the apprentice next to her who was already an old lady was a person she couldn't climb, and said a little depressedly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"How about accompanying me to the labor camp tomorrow?"

Feng Xiuyun blinked, as if to say, that's it?

-----------------

When Xia Jingyun returned home, there was a joyful atmosphere in the small courtyard.

Seeing him come in, everyone stepped forward excitedly, chattering around him, and the fuss stopped for a while.

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Mother, aunt, don't worry about doing small business." Dad and uncle don't think about anything like Xixi Nursing Home, during this time, you can stay at home and take care of your body. The eldest brother has time to find out if there is a famous teacher and polish his force. Ning Zhen, well, just be responsible for being beautiful as a flower! ”

The family's shallow thoughts, where can they hide it from him, but they were in a hurry to prepare for the Wenhui yesterday, and they didn't have time to deal with it.

"Second brother is so good!" Xia Ning shook Xia Jingyun's hand happily.

Seeing his daughter's happy and proud appearance, Xia Zhang, who had been poked in the lung tube several times, snorted: "To put it lightly, how can you ...... without money?"

Syllable!

Xia Jingyun took out a silver ticket from his arms and slapped it on the table.

Five hundred taels!

Xia Zhang's words froze, and he said stupidly: "You still have to concentrate on studying, and you have to socialize, let's sit and eat the mountain, these five hundred ......"

Syllable!

Xia Jingyun took out another silver ticket and slapped it on the table.

Another five hundred taels!

Xia Zhang stared at his hand, "Is there anything else?" ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "It's gone." ”

Xia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not that I said you, even if you have a thousand taels, you really have to open your hands and ......feet."

Tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, Xia Yun quickly opened it, and Zhang Dazhi, the master of the prison, walked in with a smile on his apprentice, "Don't blame Xia Gongzi for taking the liberty of coming to the door." I am a rough person, there is nothing to give, this hundred taels, the right to be Xia Gongzi to get Chinese Kuihe! ”

After speaking, he glanced at the neat and tidy appearance of the family, "It seems that I came at the wrong time?" ”

Xia Jingyun turned his head and glanced at his aunt with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Dazhi, "No, the adults came at the right time." ”

......

After some greetings, Zhang Dazhi laughed at himself: "Originally, I thought about recommending you to be a prisoner, but I didn't expect you to be able to win Wen Kui, but I was self-inflicted." ”

Xia Jingyun hurriedly thanked him, no matter what, he was never afraid of confrontation against the evil of others, but he would always respond solemnly to the good of others.

"It's okay, I'm here to ask you if you have any good ideas in mind, if you have any, you can tell me, if it's useful, I still have some money in my hand."

Xia Jingyun thought for a while, "That's it, let me tidy up, tomorrow night, I'll go to visit the adults." ”

Zhang Dazhi was overjoyed, "That's it, then thank you." ”

After sending Zhang Dazhi away, Xia Jingyun handed over the two five hundred taels to his mother and aunt, and then took the one hundred taels into his arms, looked at the surprised crowd, and smiled, "Go to bed early!" ”

-----------------

Replenish their spirits, and early the next morning, Xia Jingyun and Feng Xiuyun went out of the city and went straight to the labor camp.

Because Old Man Yun reminded him that even if he went to the labor camp guarded by officers and soldiers along the way, Xia Jingyun also asked Feng Xiuyun to bring two guards.

A group of four people, beating horses.

Seeing that Xia Jingyun could even ride a horse, Feng Xiuyun's heart that had been shocked again and again was shocked, is this really a poor boy in the remote countryside?

Her body was heaving and bumping, panting slightly, "What are you going to do?" ”

Xia Jingyun straightened his waist slightly, clamped his legs, and showed his proficient horse control skills, "Let's get to the bottom of it!" ”

Nothing happened all the way, and the two of them led the escort path to the front of the two-story building of the labor camp.

The wind in the labor camp was also sour and bloody, and it was not only the branches and leaves that were about to fall, but also the people on the ground.

Revisiting the old place, Xia Jingyun didn't have any emotion, he was not a cold-blooded animal, but he was not a saint either, he knew that this was an evil done by a huge imperial machine, and he was powerless to change it now, so he had to pretend not to see it.

What's more, at this moment, his heart is filled with the news that made him restless.

The news of the new steward of the labor camp is not closed, and in front of Feng Xiuyun, a palace man who has lived past the previous steward, and Xia Jingyun, the number Wenkui, there is no arrogance at all.

"Money manager, there is an inquiry below."

"Speak, please."

"Has anyone from outside come here to look for my former overseer in the past two days?"

His question is hidden, because Old Man Yun has definitely sent someone to inquire, if this money manager says no, it is naturally a lie.

Steward Qian nodded, "Yes, two people came one after another." I don't know either of them. ”

Xia Jingyun was slightly disappointed, but this was also expected, so he asked, "Do you know what they asked?" ”

Steward Qian shook his head, "I'm new here, I don't know much, they mainly asked about your original overseer, Niu Er." ”

Xia Jingyun snorted, "Then can you invite this overseer over?" ”

Steward Qian looked embarrassed, Feng Xiuyun glanced at him lightly, "Huh?" ”

Steward Qian hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to invite, Niu Er went home from vacation last night, and the Yamen came to send a message saying that he was dead!" ”

！！！

Xia Jingyun's back flashed with a biting coolness.
