lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!
The people who came to set the fire never expected that someone was present in the quiet library of books today. They were caught off guard. When they wanted to run, they were already blocked by Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue took off his arm.
As early as when Xiao Jue was fighting with this person, He Yan grabbed a long blanket on one side and put out the fire. Fortunately, the fire wasn't too big, this person probably thought that the paper rolls in the pavilion were easy to pick up, so he didn't use the anointing oil. Otherwise, if you really want to count it, the two of them will not necessarily fight it out.
The fire was put out in time, and only half of the book burned. He Yan shook his head at Xiao Jue, "Fortunately, nothing major happened."
The two looked at the person on the ground. This person was young and dressed in a blouse. At first glance, he looked like a student at Xianchang Hall. He was taken off his hands and feet by Xiao Jue and could not move for the time being. He Yan noticed that there were traces of martial arts training on his tiger's mouth, and he couldn't help but frown and said: "It seems that he is not a student of Xianchang Hall. He should have come in."
Ordinary students, even if there is a martial arts department in the academy, the calluses are not so heavy. At first glance, it is the result of years of martial arts training. Xiao Jue looked down at him and asked coldly: "Who sent you here?"
The man just stared at Xiao Jue and didn't speak.
"Wait a minute." He Yan seemed to feel a little bit. He took a step forward and held his chin. Xiao Jue couldn't stop him. The next moment, He Yan said, "He can't speak, he's a dumb."
The opponent was forced to open his mouth while holding his chin, his mouth was empty, with only half of his tongue.
"It's dangerous." Xiao Jue pulled her up and moved behind him, "Don't get too close."
"The other party found a dumb man, and deliberately mixed into the Xianchang Pavilion, just to set a fire in the library." He Yan's attention was not on her own, and looked at Xiao Jue, "It seems that someone is thinking about it with us. One place."
In the library, although there are rare and isolated books, they are not too dangerous for people to take risks. What's more, the other party did not send someone to steal, but to set fire, impartially, and it happened to burn the one used by "He Rufei". Just as He Yan and Xiao Jue came to Xianchang Hall today to find the past handwriting of "He Rufei" in case of emergency. The real Young Master He, who seems to have a guilty heart and shortness of breath, can't wait for someone to destroy the body. Extinct.
Xiao Jue asked: "What are you going to do?"
He Yan lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head, his expression became relaxed, "Since someone covets the notes of'General He', it is better to let us take care of it. As for this person... first inform Mr. Huang, See what he says."
When Huang Sancai got the news, he couldn't believe his eyes. He only let Xiao Jue and He Yan enter the library for less than a stick of incense, so why suddenly someone set fire?
"Mr. Huang," Xiao Jue gestured towards the people on the ground, "Is this a student of the academy?"
Mr. Huang took a closer look at the face of the arsonist and shook his head: "No, no, I have never seen this person."
"That's it." Xiao Jue nodded, "This person rushed into the academy, but he just set a fire and was hit by me."
Mr. Huang hurried to check the bookshelves that had just caught fire, the examination papers scattered on the ground, the half-burnt books, and the smell of burnt wood in the pavilion, all of them confirmed that Xiao Jue did not lie. Someone did set fire here just now.
"This...why is this?" Huang Sancai was a little at a loss, "What hate does this person have with our Xianchang Pavilion? Why should he set the library on fire alone?"
Fortunately, the library is not an academy, but if Xiao Jue and He Yan were not here, very few people would normally enter the library. When a fire is discovered, I'm afraid it will be too late. Thinking of this, Huang Sancai's heart was filled with fear.
"This man is a dumb man," He Yan smiled: "I can't speak."
Xiao Jue's voice is indifferent: "I am afraid it is related to the Utuo."
"Wu, Utuo?" Huang Sancai was startled, "Why did Utuo appear in Shuojing?"
Xiao Jue said calmly, "This matter is confidential, and I hope Mr. Huang will keep it secret for me. Since it is a conspiracy of the Utuo, it is better to use the tricks. Please wait for the announcement of Mr. Huang. The library is on fire and burns a collection of books. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and it did not cause a major disaster, but... General Feihong’s notes were all destroyed and nothing was left."
"This..." Huang Sancai was still puzzled.
"It's about the society," Xiao Jue's eyes are sharp as electricity, "I also hope that Mr. The overall situation is the most important."
Huang Sancai shivered, "Self and natural. But General He's notes..."
"He and I are classmates, and they are just ordinary pens and inks. I will bring them back to Xiao's house for safekeeping. In the future, I will wait for the real evil behind the scenes to be revealed, and then return the originals."
Huang Sancai sensed something sensitively, and then looked at the young man in front of him. The always lazy and indifferent boy has now faded from the youthfulness, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, completely different from the past.
He bowed his head respectfully, and said softly: "It's all up to Governor Xiao to call the shots. As for this person..."
"I'll solve it, Mr. Huang just declares that someone burned to death in the fire."
Huang Sancai nodded and said yes.
Waiting for Huang Sancai's work to be done, after a while, Chi Wu followed, took away the dumb man who had just set fire, and took a whole sack of "He Rufei" notes by the way.
He Yan and Xiao Jue just walked out, and said as they walked: "Xiao Jue, what happened just now... does it work?"
Huang Sancai is not the Xiao family. I don’t know how much we can keep secrets for them. He Rufei is not a fool. The people who are sent out will never return. Even if Huang Sancai rumors that the library is on fire, He Rufei may not be able to. letter.
"Nothing, leave it to me." Xiao Jue replied.
He Yan thought for a while, "I think Xu Zhiheng is probably still looking for Mother Qin's whereabouts, so we must ensure their safety."
Xiao Jue smiled casually, "Don't worry, the Xu family can't reach the Xiao family."
He Yan was a little relieved, but today he originally went to Xianchang Hall to recall the ease of old acquaintances, and was disrupted by this sudden incident. It was a little heavy, and only then walked to the door with Xiao Jue and suddenly heard someone calling her "Girl He".
He Yan looked up and saw not far away, a man wearing an indigo robe, who was as gentle as blue, was Chu Zhao.
He also saw Xiao Jue beside He Yan, his eyes condensed slightly, but he smiled as usual before he stepped forward and greeted: "Supervisor Xiao, Miss He."
"Why is the Fourth Young Master Chu here?" He Yan asked with a smile. Since the palace banquet given by Emperor Wen Xuan that day, she has never seen Chu Zhao. She only knows that the Xu family and the Chu family are managing his marriage with Xu Pingting. On the surface, this marriage between Chu Zhao and Xu Pingting seems to be a bit more close to each other than He Yan's family background is not high.
Although... He Yan didn't think that Chu Zhao liked Xu Pingting's fiancee much.
"Come out and do something." Chu Zhao replied gently.
He Yan noticed that the stranger next to him today was an unfamiliar maidservant with a plain face, not Ying Xiang, and couldn't help but look at the maidservant twice. The maid was not afraid, she looked straight back, his eyes faintly scrutinized, and He Yan thought for a moment before he understood. I thought it was the Miss Xu Pingting. Seeing that Ying Xiang next to Chu Zhao was too beautiful, she didn't worry about it, so she changed her to follow. It's called awaiting, but it's actually monitoring. Think about it, after all, Chu Zhao has a romantic father, and his own appearance is outstanding, it is inevitable that he will think more.
It's just that, Chu Zhao feels a little pitiful. As a man, he couldn't even decide whether the maid next to him was going or staying. Now it is just the beginning. When she becomes a relative in the future, that Miss Xu Pingting will only get worse.
The maidservant looked at He Yan with a little defensive gaze. It looked like Chu Zhao was a fat, oily meat. All the women on the street were hungry dogs, staring very closely. He Yan didn't want to cause trouble to his upper body, and didn't want to be targeted in vain, so he said: "I have something to do with Xiao Jue, so let's go one step ahead."
When Chu Zhao heard the word "Xiao Jue", he was taken aback for a moment, his eyes patrolled over the two of them, and then he smiled and said, "So, get together again another day."
He Yan nodded, pulling Xiao Jue and hurried away. But Chu Zhao, after the two of them left, looked at the door of Xianchang Pavilion, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
The maid beside her urged: "Fourth son, it's not early, let's go to the silk shop to choose materials first, the lady said, all matters related to the happy event must be personally read by the fourth son."
The young man concealed the haze in his eyes, smiled and said, "Okay."
……
At the door of Xu's house, Fuwang, the young servant, was sweeping the floor with a broom in his hand.
I've been so absent-minded all night, in fact, it's not a day or two. The mysterious man with a generous move has never appeared since he told the other party about the whereabouts of Mother Qin.
Fuwang was very disappointed. He originally wanted to make a fortune from this man before leaving, but he didn't expect to see him here. He regretted for a while, whether he shouldn't have said the whereabouts of Mother Qin so early, maybe the time was delayed longer, and he could squeeze more oil on the other party.
Once he got used to the easy way of money, and looking back at the monthly money, Fuwang felt extremely dissatisfied.
He swept the floor. Suddenly, a copper plate rolled by in front of him. Fuwang subconsciously followed him. He wanted to pick it up. Cat’s waist walked a few steps. Suddenly, a copper plate was caught. The boots stepped on. He was startled, and when he looked up, he saw a tall man wearing a hat standing in front of him, whispering: "But Fuwang?"
Fuwang was taken aback, and stammered: "True, correct."
"See you at the teahouse on the corner of the street. See you in the old place." After the other party said this, he raised his foot, turned and left.
Fuwang stared blankly at the dirty copper plate. Cat waist picked up the copper plate, wiped the stain on his head, put it into his sleeve, his heart beating fast. When the companion who had gone to the latrine returned, Fuwang took the opportunity to drive away under the excuse of his diarrhea and went to the teahouse where he used to meet with the mysterious person.
It is still the innermost tea room. The talented man has already taken his seat, and Fu Wang walked in, suspicious in his heart. Although this person is dressed very similar to the person last time, he is not alone. Compared with the last mysterious person, the person in front of him is obviously much taller.
"The son is..."
"The person who asked you to find Mother Qin last time can't come now. The person who will deal with you in the future is me." Feinu said with a hoarse voice.
Xiao Jue asked him to come to Xu's house in order to make a deal with this young man named Fuwang, and at the same time to remove He Yan from the incident safely to avoid leaving any handles.
Fuwang was taken aback, and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, the previous son..."
"Dead." The other party's voice was extremely cold, "So, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't watch if you shouldn't, don't watch."
These cold words shocked Fuwang. Although he was greedy for money, he also cherished his life. Hearing that the last mysterious person had died, he couldn't help thinking a lot. After all, even now, he doesn't know who that person is. , And why do you want him to inquire about Mother Qin's whereabouts.
"Then...what did the son ask me for?" Fuwang said tentatively.
"I want you to search for all the old things that died in Xu's house, such as old people who are related to Xu's grandma, also look for their whereabouts." The man said concisely.
I was looking for people and things related to Aunt He, but now she has become Grandma Xu. Why?
"I..." Before Fuwang could speak, he saw the man in front of him took out a box from his side, put it on the table, opened the box, and neatly packed dozens of silver ingots.
Fuwang's eyes are straight, which is much more generous than the last master. The one who gave silver is one ingot for one ingot. When did such a big deal happen? For a moment, Fu Wang put aside his timidity, and his eyes were filled with silver.
"How?" Feinu asked.
"It's easy to talk." Fuwang swept the box in front of him, happy that the corners of his mouth blossomed, "Even if you are a little one, you must take care of this matter for the son."
"This is not easy," Feinu deliberately lowered his voice, "Your uncle, you will definitely be watching your movements."
"Nothing, there is a slack place in the house. It's just that the grandma has passed away for a long time. Most of the old things were buried with the body. I don't know if there is any left." Fuwang was probably in front of him. Yin Zi dazzled his eyes, racked his brains and thought for a while, before saying: "However, the uncle has a deep affection for the grandma. The yard where the grandma used to live still maintains the original appearance. Maybe one of them can be found. Two old things. It’s just that someone is staring in the yard, so it’s not easy to get in, but," he said with a pleased smile: "The little one thinks of something else, he should be able to get in."
This person really saw Qian's eyes open. In other words, He Yan had already lifted the greed in his bones, and he was out of control, which saved Feinu a lot of energy.
Finu looked at Fuwang, seemingly satisfied, and said: "Very good, these silvers are only a deposit. If you can do what I have entrusted, then our master will certainly not treat you badly." /
"Excuse me," Fuwang asked boldly: "The master of the son is..."
This time, the person on the opposite side was not as mysterious as the previous mysterious person. He held his head proudly and said: "Your Majesty now proclaims General Feihong, He is like a son."
"General He?" Fuwang said in surprise: "Why do General He..." He didn't go on with the following words, thinking of "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask" that this person had just said, he pleased with a smile. : "I see. The younger one must do the job well for General He."
When things are done, Fuwang has returned to Xu's house, and the province has been out for too long, which is suspicious. Feinu sat in the tea room, drank the tea in front of him, got up and left.
……
At the Prince’s mansion, today, sing, singing, and dancing. Prince Guang Yan was in a very good mood. He half leaned on the limp and looked at the dancing maid. Beside him, Xu Jingfu was sitting.
"How come you have free time to come to this palace today?" Guang Yan laughed: "Zi Lan and Ping Ting's relationship is close, Xu Mansion should be very busy."
Xu Jingfu smiled and replied: "The Fuzhong affairs have her own wife, and I came to see your Highness today for the sake of the Uto envoy."
Guang Yan took a drink and looked at Xu Jingfu: "Oh? What is your opinion?"
"In less than half a month, the Uto envoy will arrive in the capital." Xu Jingfu said: "There are more leaders and factions in the middle of the DPRK than the main fighting faction. It is not difficult to persuade your Majesty. It is just a matter of opening a forum, please also Your Highness, think twice."
"What does Xu Xiang mean?" Guang Yan said indifferently, "It was your idea to cooperate with the Utuo people. Since the Utuo people proposed to open a bargaining field, how come to a juncture? Changed your mind again?"
Xu Jingfu was not irritated by the prince’s attitude, only smiled and said: “It’s not a change of mind. It’s just that Xiao Huaijin has won the battle and made a mistake, and the initiative has reached Dawei. There is no need to make false claims with the Utuo people. Snake, once the market is open, it will be difficult to negotiate terms with the Utuo people. It's better to raise the price now, otherwise, wouldn't the Utuo people have the final say?"
The prince’s face showed a little displeased expression, but soon the expression was hidden, "Xu Xiang said it is reasonable. But Xu Xiang has to figure out one thing, you and the palace, Having a private relationship with the Utuo people, once this matter is spread, how can there be a future? The Utuo people hold the handle, if they do not give them the right to open a bargaining field in the Wei, how will they give up? This palace is a stumbling block...what should I do if my palace’s great cause is delayed?"
The actress who played the piano in the room, did not know when to retreat.
Xu Jingfu was silent for a while, and said to the prince: "Your Highness sees you well."
Guang Yan smiled slightly. At this moment, a beautiful woman in a wide-sleeved hibiscus dress came in from the outside, with a small silver pot in her hand, walked to the prince's body, knelt down, and put the pot. The wine in it is served.
The prince drank the wine in front of her and pulled the woman into her arms. The woman raised her head and revealed a beautiful face. Xu Jingfu could see clearly that it was given to him by Chu Zhao the other day. Prince Ying Xiang.
When Ying Xiang saw Xu Jingfu, she also smiled: "Ying Xiang has seen the grandfather."
"The girl sent by Zilan is really smart." Guang Yan grabbed a handful of the beauty's cheeks with satisfaction, "It's very good for my palace, very good!"
Ying Xiangang said strangely: "His Royal Highness has been honoured, but slaves dare not."
Xu Jingfu's smile faded slightly.
This maid beside Chu Zhao in the past, because of his prosperous appearance, was harassed by Xu Pingting many times in front of him and asked him to deal with Yingxiang. However, Xu Jingfu himself also inquired that Ying Xiang was rescued by Chu Zhao at the gate of the brothel. It was probably Ying Xiang's experience that made him think of his mother Ye Runmei, and that he would look at Xiang Xiang with admiration.
Chu Zhao is the one he likes, and Xu Jingfu doesn't want to damage their teacher-student friendship because of a little maid. What's more, Ying Xiang's staying with Chu Zhao can also be a test. If Chu Zhao was just a man who was greedy for beauty, he would be unbearable, let alone stay with Xu Pingting.
For so many years, Chu Zhao has obviously accepted the test, and has no relationship with Yingxiang. As the marriage date of Chu Zhao and Xu Pingting got closer, Xu Pingting became more and more anxious.
Xu Pingting went to see the prince Guangyan in private, Xu Jingfu didn't know it. It's just that now, he doesn't have the mind to dissuade. In the future, Chu Zhao will be Xu Pingting's husband, Xu Jingfu's son-in-law, a little maid. If he makes his daughter unhappy, he will kill him, let alone give it away. Chu Zhao should have a steelyard in his heart.
Chu Zhao made the right choice.
Xu Jingfu is very satisfied. Such a smart young man who knows how to make choices is rare in the city of Shuojing today.
In the past, Xu Jingfu’s impression of Xiang was always an ordinary handmaid who was beautiful, but timid and quiet, and never caused trouble, but now, here, Ying Xiangqiao smiles and clings to the prince. , But made Xu Jingfu feel a little uneasy.
There is no shortage of beauties in the Prince's Mansion, and there is no shortage of smart people. The fight in the back home is no easier than the tricks above the court. Xu Pingting sent Ying Xiang into the prince's residence, without any intention of letting her survive. But so many days have passed, Ying Xiang is alive and well, and he has been favored by the prince. This is by no means a thing that can be done just by beauty.
The charming beauty has clear eyes, as if she doesn’t understand all the filthy things in the world. Among the beauties, like the morning dew, with fragile purity, even she doesn’t cherish the beauty’s extension. In her eyes, there was also a little more pity.
Xu Jingfu sat for a while, then got up and left. After he left, Guang Yan ordered his servants to remove the bowls, chopsticks and cups of Xu Jingfu.
"An old guy, who is just a prime minister, takes himself as a big man, and even intervenes in the affairs of this palace." The sullen air in Prince Guang Yan's eyes was released after Xu Jingfu left. "I see his hand stretched too long!"
Ying Xiang snuggled against Guang Yan, with a small hand gently caressing his chest for him, comforting him softly, and comforted him softly: "His Royal Highness does not have to be too angry. This world will be His Royal Highness's world in the future. Whatever your Highness says, where Do you need to listen to others?"
These words pleased Guang Yan a lot, and Guang Yan kissed her on the face, "You girl, you can talk. Be careful when Xu Xiang hears the trouble for you."
"Even if the master is troublesome to find a slave and maidservant, but the maidservant is your Highness, your maid will definitely protect the slave and maid, won't you?" Ying Xiangjiao said: "Even if you are a slave and maid, it is better than most of the world. The person is now. Besides, tell your Highness a secret." She leaned close to Guang Yan, looking very charming.
This maid is not as good as other beauties. He either praises him or fears him. Guangyan likes him very much, so he asks: "What's the secret?"
"The slave servants don't like Xu Xiang," Ying Xiang said with a bitter face: "Xu Xiang has too many rules and always has his own ideas. I'm really afraid that one day, His Royal Highness Xu Lian will take care of everything, so that His Highness will The slave and maid gave it away, but it was too bad."
