"Did you lose these three books? Did you lose any other items?" Xie Jingxi said.

"I lost these three books, and nothing else, and went to the library almost every day, and was very familiar with the collection there, and, strangely, there were more precious books on the same shelf, but they were not stolen. The mountain chief said.

Xie Jingxi thought to himself: "It's an uninvited guest again, the thief who came to the library of the academy this time may be different from the one who went to Xie's mansion, and if he can't achieve his goal, he will take the sheep by the hand, so who is he?"

Lin Hexuan pondered, and Xie Wende said: "Father is above, the child thinks that the father should send officials to check, the academy has lost the book, it is not good to spread it, and those three books are precious books!"

Xie Jingxi said: "You concentrate on reading your books, and the matter of losing books is handled by the mountain chief and the father, and it is none of your business!"

Xie Wende didn't dare to speak.

Butler Xie Yizhi heard this, his face was not very good-looking, and he suddenly thought, "Is this matter related to Peng Haoze of the Ship Division?" Thinking of this, he gasped.

A few days ago, he quietly went to meet Xiaocui, and Xiaocui handed him a letter, saying, "Master, there is a letter here, saying that your friend asked him to send the letter to me!"

Xie Yizhi was very scared and opened the letter and looked at it, it read: "Brother Xie, I am very happy to visit the garden in Xie Mansion, I can meet Brother Xian, it is also fate, the younger brother is very concerned about Master Xie Jingxi, how is he doing recently?

Xie Yizhi's heart trembled: "The hateful Peng Haoze, haunting me like a ghost, what should I do? If I don't pass the news to him, he doesn't know what evil things he will do, if I pass the news, I'm so sorry for the master!"

He hesitated for a long time, he was very scared, and finally wrote a letter: "Master Xie is fine, two days later, a banquet will be held in Qingyuan Academy, and it must be a good thing to invite social elites." Yi Zhiqi. ”

He handed the letter to Xiao Cui, instructed him to put the letter in the wooden box outside the door, and his friends would come to pick it up, and told him that this matter must be kept secret, and that the person who took the letter should not be inquired, because it was about the sale, and it was important to keep it secret.

Xie Yizhi thought, "The academy lost the book, it must be related to Peng Haoze, just sent a message to tell him about his master's invitation in the academy, and something happened in the academy, damnable!"

"Is there anything wrong with Yi Zhi?" you are thinking about it so strictly!" Xie Jingxi asked.

"Oh, no, no, the little one is thinking about the book and losing it strangely, and I don't know what to do?

Yang Feiyang thought, "Could it be that the scholar who fought with me in the garden building has come to investigate again?" However, that person doesn't look like a person who can steal books!"

"Chief Shan, please pay more attention to prevent further loss of books, as for the investigation, I will arrange someone to handle it, everyone rest assured!" Xie Jingxi said.

Back at Xie Mansion, Xie Jingxi felt that there were still a few things to do. He asked Mrs. Guo and Miss Xie to go to the VIP living room of "Erluo" and said to them sternly: " Recently, I have been busy, I have no time to talk to you, recently Xie Fu held two banquets, one is in Xie Fu invited Quanzhou officialdom colleagues, many adults have been invited, quite lively; the other is today in Qingyuan Academy to invite Quanzhou virtuous people to gather, taste vegetarian dishes, everyone is very happy, expand the influence of Xie Fu, but, don't just see the lively scenery of Xie Fu, in fact, you also know that Xie Fu is now an eventful autumn, there are a few strange things, I'm afraid there will be something to happen, so, you two, need to be more careful, don't go out lightly, there is something to discuss and then go out, be cautious and no bad thing, Wende followed Mr. Lin HexuanIt's going to be fine, I'm worried about you two, be careful!"

"Listen to the master's arrangement, we will definitely be careful, and the master must also be careful!" said Mrs. Guo Huizhi.

"My daughter should be cautious, but there are so many people in the Xie Mansion, and there are Uncle Gao Yuntian guarding them, and if someone wants to make trouble, they have to weigh it, and the Xie Mansion is not easy to mess with, so the father doesn't have to worry too much!" Xie Jiayao said.

"It's just that you are naughty, the rivers and lakes are complicated, as the saying goes, 'Be careful to walk a boat for ten thousand years', you must not cause trouble for your father!" Xie Jingxi said.

"Little girl obeys! Please rest assured, Lord Xie!" Xie Jiayao said squeamishly.

Then, Xie Jingxi asked people to find Yang Feiyang, he asked the housekeeper to make tea, and he tasted the tea and waited for Yang Feiyang.

"Master, are you looking for a small one?" Yang Feiyang asked after entering the door.

"Fei Yang is here, sit down and drink tea, I have something to discuss with you!" Xie Jingxi said, the housekeeper saw that the master did not invite him to sit down, and knew that they had something to discuss, so he said goodbye and went out first, his heart was full of emotions.

"Feiyang, after you entered Xie Mansion, you have done a lot of things, and you have made great progress, you are conscientious and try your best to accompany Wende, I appreciate you very much, I also know that you have some skills, and you are very clever, now Xie Mansion has encountered some things, I want you to do something important!"

Yang Feiyang thought: "The master is so strict and polite today, there must be something big." He hurriedly said, "Please tell the master, the little one must do his best to do it!"

Xie Jingxi thought for a moment, lowered his voice and said: "Feiyang, although Wende and you are a master-servant relationship, but you are a very sensible child, the old man has long regarded you as a son, and now there is one thing that must be done by a trustworthy person, and the old man thinks that you are the most suitable person!"

Yang Feiyang said: "Please instruct the master, the little one will do his best to get things done!"

"Last time Xie Fu invited the Yamen adults to Xie Mansion, I don't know if you noticed, there are two people who behave very suspiciously, one is Jia Shaohui, the same governor of Quanzhou Mansion, this person seems to be polite, but in fact it is not simple, as if there is something hidden, he is always pestering Wende that day, on the surface and Wende are like-minded, the two talk about poetry, he is also too strangely close, I suspect he has another purpose; the other is Peng Haoze, the deputy chief of the Shipping Department, you see he drinks and guesses boxing, drunk, and talks nonsense, in fact, he is very sober on key issues, obviously pretending to be drunk, and he seems to be very arrogant, is an unusual person, the old man always feels that he has evil intentions。 Xie Jingxi said.

"The master is right, the little one also thinks that these two behaviors seem normal, but they are actually very abnormal, and the little one also has questions, but I don't know what's going on?" Yang Feiyang said.

"You're right, these two people are abnormal, we must know their details, if they have ulterior motives, we can be easy to guard, so, I want to send you to secretly investigate these two people, to see what kind of goods they are, however, this is a secret and dangerous matter, you can't sue anyone, let alone Wende, and you must pay special attention to safety, cunning people are difficult to deal with, you need to be cautious, fortunately, you have 'ability', and you are very clever, I believe you can do this well!" Xie Jingxi trusts Yang Feiyang very much.

Yang Feiyang thought: "It turns out that this is such an important matter, no wonder the master speaks so strictly, and his voice is so low, this matter is indeed a matter of importance, the master trusts me so much, even if I go to the soup and fire, I will also complete this important task." He said: "The master will explain the task, the small one must be completed well, please rest assured, it's just that when I go to do something, sometimes I have to visit the relevant people in the name of the master, but I won't reveal any secrets, please ask the lord for permission!"

"Okay, I believe you, but you must be sure not to startle the snake, otherwise it will make the problem more complicated. Xie Jingxi said.

"The old man's orders are that the little ones must be thoughtful, act carefully, and get things done!" Yang Feiyang said solemnly.

"Okay, you go and prepare, I'll sue him on Wende's side, and send you to deliver something to some friends, and I'll be busy for a while. Xie Jingxi said.

Yang Feiyang has received Xie Jingxi's great trust, he is very happy, but also feels a heavy responsibility, and he is full of confidence to meet new challenges.
