A voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.

At first glance, there was a man sitting in the tea room on the second floor with the window open.

The man approached the window, only revealing his side face, clear and gentle, with a temperament like jade, his fingertips on the lid of the porcelain cup, his eyes half-drooping, and his eyes looked downstairs.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Ji?

Liu Kuai's mouth was stunned, his back was faintly cold, and a smile appeared on his face, "Shen... Lord Shen...... How do you have time to sit in the building? ”

Shen Ji ignored his flattery and said softly, "You just said the wrong thing. ”

Liu Kuai's mouth shook and he hurriedly responded, "Yes, the little ones are all joking, Lord Shen, you ......"

"It's not that the two are in love, she hasn't answered me yet, it's me who thinks of her wholeheartedly."

Liu Kuai's mouth was stunned, his smile froze on his face, and he didn't understand the situation for a while.

However, Shen Ji didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, leaving only a good word of tea, so he got up and went downstairs and left here.

This time, word of mouth spread, and the whole Kyoto knew Shen Ji's heart, and knew how Lord Shen, who seemed to be like a fairy, pursued his sweetheart.

Lord Shen also received a new title: Dog Skin Plaster.

Changfan whispered, and glanced at Xie Li in front of him, "Shizi, this is the way it is. ”

"Dog skin plaster?" Xie Li sneered, his face mocking, "It's also suitable for him." ”

"Isn't Shizi angry?" Changfan was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "On weekdays, once you hear that Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen are hooked, you will be half angry. ”

Xie Li was in a trance for a moment, raised his eyes to look out the window, his eyes fell on the branches in the courtyard that had sprouted again, and said in a low voice, "In the past, I only thought he was joking, thinking that he was no different from ordinary people, and he fell in love with his mother's appearance, today...... It's a change of view. ”

"If my mother can live happily, I should recognize him."

After the words fell, Xie Li looked at him sideways and asked in a low voice, "He went to the teahouse, is there any disagreement in Beijing?" ”

Changfan shook his head and whispered, "The little one also feels strange, it was rumored that Lord Shen and the eldest young lady had a leg before, and the capital was full of scolding, blaming the eldest young lady for being uneasy in the room, but when it was Madame's turn, the people outside actually agreed." ”

"I don't know why, there are suddenly a lot of good words from Mrs. in Beijing, and even her charity to the poor and saving people and curing the epidemic have been re-mentioned, and now the people give a thumbs up when they mention Mrs.!"

Hearing this, the gloom between Xie Li's eyebrows and eyes dissipated, and he hooked the corners of his lips, "In order to protect my mother, it's really difficult for him." ”

There was footsteps outside, and Xie Li shut up in time.

In the next moment, Ye Ming's voice sounded from the courtyard, "Shizi, Madam is awake." ”

Higashi-ichi Annex

Fang Xu woke up faintly, his vision changed from blurry to clear, and when he looked sideways, he saw a group of people sitting around his bed.

"You ......"

As soon as Fang Xu spoke, his throat was in unbearable pain.

"Mother, drink some water and moisten your throat." Xie Wanzhou picked her up, took the teacup handed by Lian Yan, and brought it to Fang Xu's lips, "You have smoked too much, and now that you wake up, your throat is naturally uncomfortable." ”

Fang Xu took a sip of warm water, and then felt that his throat was better.

"Mother......" Liu Fanyin held her hand, her eyes moist, "How did you escape with a garden of people?" ”

Fang Xu thought about it carefully and muttered, "At that time, I was taking a nap, and Bai Ji was staring at the medicinal food in the small kitchen, when I vaguely heard the sound of the door panel locking, and when I opened my eyes, there was a fire in the house. ”

"The fire was so strange and fierce that I didn't have time to put on my shoes before the pillars in the house were on fire."

"Bai Ji wanted to save me, but she was blocked by the door lock, and had to break through the window to save me, but she herself was almost engulfed in flames."

Fang Xu's eyes moved slightly, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, "She smoked too much cigarettes and passed out in the house, leaving only a dog hole in the east wall of the courtyard, which leads directly to the side door of the Hou Mansion, so I should hurry up and escape." ”

"Mother......" Liu Fanyin looked at the gauze wrapped around her forearm, her eyes full of distress, "So you turned back and saved Bai Ji, and you were injured." ”

Fang Xu didn't deny it, but said lightly, "It's just a scar, it can always be removed, it's not worth mentioning compared to her life." ”

Su Zi on the side covered his mouth tightly, holding back his tears and preventing himself from crying.

They met the best master in the world.

Xie Li grasped the point, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Did Mother notice anything unusual about that fire?" ”

Fang Xu's face was gloomy, and his eyes were not half warm, "The fire was not born in the kitchen, but from my house, which is a strange place, and I smell saltpeter and sulfur." ”

"Saltpeter... Sulfur ......" Xie Li's eyes deepened, and he muttered, "Plus charcoal, it's explosives." ”

"This is a method in the army, who can know, I don't think I need to say more." Fang Xu raised his eyes to look at him, and said word by word, "Once I left today, if I change to him, I have to pay for it with my life." ”

Xie Li's face sank, the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and said in a low voice, "My son understands." ”

Prison

Xia Zhao sat on a small wooden bench with iron ropes on his hands and feet, but it did not prevent him from eating meat and drinking a lot.

The official stood by and did not dare to say anything, let alone treat him lightly.

Xia Zhao is only being arrested at the moment, the crime has not yet been decided, and the government does not know how to deal with him, so they can only try to release the water as much as possible, turn a blind eye, so as not to stumble on them after he is acquitted.

The official on the right pursed his lips, beckoned to the brother on the side, and said in a low voice, "Third brother, this one looks very big, and he doesn't look like he will be sentenced to death." ”

The official who was called the third official glanced at Xia Zhao, who was eating and drinking from the sea, and had no idea, "Let's offer it first, as soon as he came in, he asked us for four pig's trotters, a plate of elbows, and a pot of soju, will people who are not sure be so calm?" ”

"Yes." The man nodded, glanced at Xia Zhao again, and didn't dare to say more.

After a few moments, footsteps rang out from the dungeon.

The officials looked up and saw two figures outside the door, Shen Ji and Xie Li entering the prison one after the other.

No matter how the official said it, he was also a person who ate the food of the heavenly family, so how could he not even know the two of them, and immediately held his sword and saluted.

Xie Li waved his hand and motioned for them to stand down.

Officials, you look at me, I look at you, don't dare to do it, and go out of the prison together.

Shen Ji took off the key hanging on the wall, opened the copper lock, pushed the iron door, and walked in slowly.

A touch of white broke into his sight, and Xia Zhao's meat-eating hand was stunned, and he immediately sneered, as if he knew that they would come, "You guys are really slow, much later than I expected." ”

Xie Li had a sneer on his lips, raised his foot and kicked over the table in front of him, the soup was mixed with white wine, and it was sprinkled on the ground, "You have a leisure, hide here to eat and drink spicy." ”

Xia Zhao wiped his mouth with his cuffs unhurriedly, and looked up at him, his eyes full of contempt, "Those who are about to die, what are you afraid of?" (End of chapter)
