After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

"Master," tasted the heartbroken voice, "Fifth Miss is here to visit you!"

Her master likes Miss Wu the most, and seeing her bring Miss Wu to him, he will definitely be happy, and maybe even reward her.

Xiao Yi looked back.

The little girl was holding a lantern, her face was pale, as if she was not used to such a bloody scene.

He silently looked at Hong Laojiu who was covered in blood, picked up a black cloth and covered him from head to toe.

After washing his hands in the basin brought by the dark guard, he glanced at Nan Baoyi: "If you don't sleep well, what are you doing here?"

Nan Baoyi was tangled.

She wanted to sleep, so Ning Wanzhou had to nod her head!

I wanted to come to Chaowenyuan to find a safe haven, but who knew I would encounter such a terrifying scene!

Xiao Yi coaxed her: "Staying up all night is not good for your health, go to sleep, and I will accompany you when I finish solving the matter at hand."

Nan Baoyi tentatively said: "I dare not sleep in Songhe Courtyard, can I sleep in Second Brother's place?"

Xiao Yi only thought that she was frightened by the bandits and dared not spend the night alone.

He said, "Go to sleep in my room."

"I have a dormitory in Chaowenyuan..."

Xiao Yi twisted and pressed Shengqian, and said nonsense: "I changed it into a small study."

Nan Baoyi: "..."

Sure enough, people are leaving the tea to cool down!

"My room is connected with an earth dragon, so it's very warm." Xiao Yi added warmly.

Nan Baoyi still hesitated.

I always feel that it is not appropriate to sleep in his room.

Xiao Yi followed the instructions carefully: "There are a lot of jade and antiques in my room, as well as the calligraphy and paintings of the former dynasty. The furniture is carved from golden nanmu, the brocade tent is streamer brocade, and the bedding is silk and velvet. Recently, I got a new diorama. It is appropriate."

Nan Baoyi felt itchy.

She smiled and said, "Then I'll go to sleep first."

She saluted Xiao Yi, then turned and left the gloomy dungeon.

Xiao Yi stared at Chang Xin.

The girl stood still, with an expression of waiting for a reward all over her face.

Jiaojiao scared him, but she was ashamed to ask for a reward.

He had a half-smile: "Send the bacon out."

Because the corpses were hung above the dungeon, they looked like dried meat from a distance, so they were falsely called "bacon" by the hidden guards.

The work of transporting "bacon" is dirty and tiring, and one has to hide and hide, and the hidden guards are unwilling to do it.

Taste of Heart, who was waiting for the reward, puffed his cheeks unhappily.

She was clearly helping her master to feast her eyes, yet she still had to be punished...

What an injustice!

But Xiao Yi's methods were vicious, and within two quarters of an hour he pried Hong Laojiu's mouth open and asked him to tell the location of all the granaries in Shu County.

The amount of stored grain was even more than Xiao Yi expected.

Holding the marked map, he walked through the corridor in a good mood.

Walking outside the dormitory fan, he raised his hand to smell the scent on his body.

It doesn't smell very good...

He went to the side room to wash thoroughly, put on clean pajamas, and then stepped into the house.

The floor is covered with thick and warm carpets, and the Pisces copper lamp at the corner of the low desk exudes a warm halo. The little girl is lying on the desk and fell asleep, her blue hair stretched to the ground, her petticoat is luxuriant, and her white and tender feet are faintly visible under the skirt. Not afraid of catching a cold.

In her little hand, there was still an open "Book of Songs", which was the one he had read when he was young.

The Ruyi window was not closed tightly, and the cold wind blew in, turning a few pages of the Book of Songs randomly.

Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and saw that it was the article "Zheng Feng·Feng Yu".

"The wind and rain are like darkness, and the rooster crows endlessly. Seeing a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy..."

He smiled, leaned over to pack the books, and picked up the little girl again.

When she was put in the brocade tent, she rolled into bed, grabbed his sleeve, and muttered softly: "Since I see a gentleman, Yunhu doesn't like it..."

"I don't like to read on weekdays, but today I read in my sleep."

He flicked her forehead lightly, and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

He went to the window.

After a night of fighting, the Nanfu garden was silent.

The cage fire jumps in the distance, and the servants are cleaning up the corpses and blood stains.

In the sky, the sea of ​​clouds is treacherous and surging, and the light and shadow break through the dawn.

It is dawn.

The faint sound of roosters crowing could be heard outside the mansion, and several plum trees bloomed indistinctly in the twilight morning light, making one feel refreshed and happy.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, his phoenix eyes were deep.

"The wind and rain are like darkness, and the rooster crows endlessly. Seeing a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy..."

When I read this when I was young, I often didn't know what it meant.

When I read it now, every single word is full of sincerity.

He twisted the Yasheng money on his wrist, thinking of the little girl in the brocade tent, and pursed his thin lips into a faint smile.

...

The corpses of 939 bandits were loaded into carriages by the servants of Nanfu, and transported to the Yamen of Jinguan City like a parade.

They threw the corpse at the gate of the yamen, beat drums and complained, asking the county magistrate to make the decision.

The county magistrate is a member of Cheng Taishou, seeing the clean entrance of the government office, the corpses piled up into a hill, the bloody appearance is really terrifying!

However, he was powerless to stop him. There were so many young servants in Nanfu, and his yamen servants couldn't beat them at all!

He had no choice but to ask Cheng Taishou for instructions with an old face.

Cheng Taishou sat by the fire, still flipping through "The Analects of Confucius".

He twirled his beard, his eyebrows and eyes were very complicated.

There are more than 900 bandits, but they can't take down the mere Nanfu?

It seems that Xiao Yi is more capable than he and Dudu Xue expected.

But Nan Fu didn't go into it deeply, thinking about it, he didn't want to completely tear his face apart.

He turned a page of the book and said calmly: "Let's close the case on the grounds that Hong Laojiu coveted the wealth of the Nan family, so he didn't hesitate to enter the Nan mansion at night. In addition, the unsolved cases of the large grain merchants being exterminated a few years ago should also be closed together." gone."

"The officer obeys!"

Cheng Taishou said again: "Hong Laojiu's savings in the bank are quite considerable, and they will be confiscated in the judgment."

"yes!"

After the county magistrate left, a person broke out from behind the screen in the study.

Cheng De was puzzled: "Father, why did you harm the Nan family?"

"What do you mean by Erlang's words?"

"You only summoned Hong Laojiu a few days ago, and he did this in a blink of an eye. It can be seen that you are behind the instigation! The Nan family threw the body at the gate of the county government office, making it clear that they are retaliating and provoking you!"

Cheng Taishou flipped through the book inscrutablely, but ignored him.

"Father, I am about to marry a girl from the Nan family, and my aunt has just married into the Nan family. Our two houses are good friends of Qin and Jin. Even if we don't talk about supporting each other, we shouldn't drive each other to death—"

"What do you know?!"

Cheng Taishou closed the book.

He said coldly: "It was Dudu Xue's order to kill Nanfu. If Xiao Yi blocked his way, he would die! Besides, the Nan family is rich, don't you envy?!"

"But Yan'er is my fiancee..." Cheng De frowned, but Nan Baoyi's charming and naughty figure appeared in his mind, "What if those bandits kill her together..."

"If you are innocent, but you are guilty, the Nan family must die." Cheng Taishou said every word, "As for Nan Yan, if you save her at that time and make her a concubine for you, it will not be regarded as wronging her."

Cheng De was silent.

Nan Baoyi has a lively personality, so she can only be a concubine.

Killing her all over the family made her have to rely on him for the rest of her life, and it was also convenient for her to be obedient in the future.

Thinking of this, Cheng De didn't complain so much.

He asked again: "But what about my aunt?"

Speaking of Cheng Yerou, Prefect Cheng couldn't help but feel annoyed.

He stroked the cover of the book: "Bring them back to the mansion when the time comes, and tell her to remarry."
