The happy life of a prodigal

That being the case, who was that person who hurt the beggar with that kind of weapon before?

"Wait!"

Just when he was puzzled, another policeman beside him seemed to have suddenly discovered something, frowned, and looked down at his feet.

There, there was a pile of burnt ashes, exuding a strong smell.

This smell is very familiar, especially during the Chinese New Year, the streets and alleys are filled with this smell...

Thinking of this, the policeman reacted abruptly.

This is the smell of gunpowder.

This is the giant firework they were looking for.

The two looked at each other, and they could more or less see the surprised expressions on each other's faces.

At the same time, a thought appeared in their minds.

Is it...

It was this giant firework that hurt the beggar to such a degree before...?

Chapter 253 Little things?

The two police officers looked at each other, and they could see a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

It is not unheard of for fireworks to hurt people in this place of Gyeonggi.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, there are fireworks everywhere in the city, and many children were injured by the fireworks because they were naughty and didn't pay attention.

Of course, the most serious injury is burns from the flames from the fireworks. The injuries are usually very mild, and you don't even need to go to the hospital. They will heal automatically in a few days.

only......

The wound on the beggar before was so serious, could it be the firework?

One of the detectives thought about it carefully and found that this matter was not impossible.

Those fireworks that hurt people at the beginning failed to cause any serious harm, only because of their small size.

If it is replaced by a body like this firework, it may not be impossible to cause life-threatening damage.

Moreover, one of the reasons they came here to find this firework was to investigate whether anyone was injured by this firework.

It's just that they didn't associate the beggar's wound with fireworks before.

After all, they never thought that a small firework could cause such harm.

but......

When I was outside just now, I heard a pedestrian mention it, and there were several loud noises from the direction of the street.

Thinking of this, the policeman glanced at his companion and said, "If there is no accident, the beggar we saw before should have been injured by this firework."

Another policeman looked down at the piles of ashes and frowned, obviously not sure about this statement.

He thought for a while and said: "The matter is not yet settled, let's take the ashes and the beggar back to the Yamen first, and try to revive him.

If the beggar can survive, all problems will be solved naturally.

If this giant firework really has such an astonishing power, we should report to Lord Xia, and then Lord Xia will report to Lord Fuyin, and let Lord Fuyin write a memorial to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to prohibit the setting off of such giant fireworks in the capital.

After all, if this giant firework can really hurt that beggar to such an extent, it will be a huge threat to the people in the capital..."

The arrester who spoke before heard this, his expression was very serious, he nodded, and said: "It's not too late, I'm here to deal with the ashes, you go and send that beggar to the hospital."

"it is good!"

Hearing this, the other policeman nodded without any resistance, turned around and disappeared at the end of the alley.

............

The carriage soon reached the south of the city.

Fang Xiu took Xiu'er and Bai Xiaochun out of the carriage, stood where he was, and looked inside the carriage.

After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and an immature face poked out, with a reluctant expression on his face, he waved to the three of them, and said loudly: "Master, in a few days, Hao'er will come to see you again." you!"

Fang Xiu looked at him with a smile on his face, waved his hands, and said, "It's getting dark, let's go back quickly."

Zhao Hao nodded and shouted: "Master, goodbye!"

Then he leaned back, and the curtain of the carriage was lowered.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yan did not show up.

Although a few people were still sitting in the carriage and chatting together a second ago, they didn't even say goodbye, which still made people feel a little empty in their hearts.

Of course, Fang Xiu didn't care about it.

Regardless of whether this birthday gift is satisfactory to her or not, her wish has been achieved.

As long as she thinks about it in the future, she still remembers that she spent all this energy, time and money for her birthday, and doesn't want to take out the few 10 taels of silver she kept in Baolefang, Fang Xiu has no objection.

The sky was already dark, and the excitement brought by the giant fireworks only lasted for a while, and the whole Fangfu became quiet as before.

Fang Xiu glanced at the direction the carriage was leaving, shook his head, and walked into Fang's residence.

"Master..."

As soon as Fang Xiu stepped into the Fang mansion, a servant greeted him.

Generally speaking, if there is nothing to do, these servants will at most just salute when they see him, and will not deliberately step forward.

The servant did this, obviously something happened in the mansion.

Fang Xiu frowned slightly, glanced at the servant, and asked casually, "What happened in the mansion?"

The servant had just finished his salute, when he heard this, he subconsciously glanced back, leaned over to Fang Xiu's ear, and whispered: "Young master, an adult from the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture has come to the mansion."

The lord of the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen?

The largest yamen in Kyoto Prefecture is the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, although compared with himself, the influence in the capital is much greater.

But at best, he was only a fourth-rank civil servant, and his status was not much different from his own.

Besides, in this land of Gyeonggi, if there is any place that is the most thankless, it is the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture.

People in the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture, what is there to be afraid of?

Fang Xiu glanced at the servant, saw his expression, and guessed who it was almost instantly...

He frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed it, waved his hand, and said casually: "Got it, let's go."

"Yes, sir."

The servant bowed and stepped aside.

Fang Xiu went straight to the backyard.

Sure enough, on the stone bench in the backyard, there was a figure, which looked somewhat mysterious under the moonlight.

Dressed in a soap suit, he is obviously a police officer of the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen.

"There have been so many things happening in the capital recently, Xia Tutou must be very busy, why come to this young master when you have time..."

Fang Xiu strolled to Xia Yixue's side, with a smile on his face, looked at her, and said calmly.

Xia Yixue's beautiful eyes were staring at the corner of the yard, when she heard Fang Xiu's voice, she turned her head and glanced at him.

Without any twists and turns, he said straight to the point: "The giant kite that appeared in the sky above the capital before, but you made it and flew it?"

Fang Xiu looked indifferent, without the slightest sophistry, nodded very frankly, and said: "That's right, those two kites were indeed made by my young master, and I also sent people to fly.

I don't know how Mr. Xia is busy with work on weekdays, so why come to me when he has time to care about these trivial matters? "

Xia Yixue's expression didn't change when she heard this, she was still as cold as before, and said in a cold voice: "Flying the kite twice has disturbed the people in the capital and even alarmed the palace, is this still a trivial matter? "

Hearing what she said, Fang Xiu suddenly became a little unhappy, and said: "Xia Butou has wronged me, what about the people in the capital, or what happens in the palace, what does it have to do with me flying kites?"

Chapter 254 Fireworks

Speaking of this, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, looked at Xia Yixue, and continued: "Xia Tutou, if I remember correctly, there shouldn't be any regulations in the Great Chu Law. Kites are not allowed in the capital city, let's fly kites." ?”

When Xia Yixue heard this, her pretty face didn't change much, she just looked at Fang Xiu.

After a while, she nodded and said, "That's true. I came to Fang Mansion this time not mainly because of this matter, but because of some personal matters that I want to talk to you about."

When Fang Xiu heard Xia Yixue say that, surprise appeared on his face.

Having known Xia Yixue for so long, she has always acted like a businessman, never showing mercy, and this is the first time that she has come into contact with others because of personal matters.

This is really the first time I've seen it.

Seeing that Fang Xiu didn't speak, Xia Yixue hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak first, asking him about the kite.

Who knows, before he could speak, he heard Fang Xiu say: "Since it's not because of the kite, then there is nothing to talk about.

Mr. Xia has already returned the glass of wine in the Spring Breeze Tower to me, so there is no so-called 'private matter' between us. "

He paused, with a smile on his face, looked at Xia Yixue, and continued: "It's getting dark, Xia Butou is still a daughter anyway, so I don't have any objections to staying in Fangfu at this time.

I'm just afraid that if the news gets out, it will affect Xia Butou's reputation, so Xia Butou should leave as soon as possible. "

Xia Yixue was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Even she, who never showed emotion, could not help showing a look of anger after hearing these words that could almost be said to be "driving people away".

No matter when she was a child, or when she grew up and became the head catcher of the Kyoto government, no one dared to treat her with this attitude.

Even those dudes who couldn't be more rampant in the capital, when they saw themselves, none of them were like a mouse seeing a cat.

Only this guy, instead of having the slightest fear of himself, often does unexpected things.

The most irritating thing is that I still have nothing to do with him.

For a moment, Xia Yixue looked at the disgusting face in front of her, wishing she could draw out her saber and stab him.

Once upon a time, Xia Yixue almost thought that she would no longer have her own personal feelings, no matter what the other party did or said, she could deal with it fairly and would not be affected in any way.

But... Now that she met Fang Xiu, she felt that the hard work she had put in for so many years and the character she had cultivated were gradually collapsing.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yixue tried her best to calm down and calm down.

After a while, she raised her head, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed a cold light, and then, looking at Fang Xiu, said lightly: "I don't care what others say..."

After saying this, Xia Yixue might not feel anything, but Fang Xiu always felt a little strange when he heard it.

It seems that in the previous world, in all kinds of bloody romantic dramas, this line always appeared the most frequently.

I don't care what people say, I don't care what people think...

These two sentences, no matter where they are used, no matter whether the person who uses them is a villain or a decent person, a protagonist or a supporting role, they are very applicable.

And it is generally used between men and women.

"Cough cough..."

Fang Xiu threw out those inexplicable and strange thoughts in his mind, then looked at Xia Yixue with a serious face, and said in a somewhat aggrieved tone: "I care..."

Xia Yixue was slightly taken aback when she heard this, as if she hadn't reacted, she subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and said: "First of all, I don't have a marriage contract, and my father took my mother to Qingzhou to recuperate a few months ago, and it is impossible to return to the capital in a short time.

In other words, within a short period of time, it is impossible for me to have a marriage contract.

Moreover, our Fang family is in the capital, although it is not considered a famous family, but it is also a noble family, and it can be regarded as a rich family.

I was born so handsome, so handsome, so talented..."

Xia Yixue frowned upon hearing this, and said impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Fang Xiu looked at Xia Yixue with a serious face, and said: "I said so much, just to tell you that in this capital, an outstanding person like me will definitely attract the attention of many young girls.

If we let them know that Xia Butou, you had a long talk with me all night in Fang Mansion, even if nothing happened between you and me, what would they think?

I haven't married yet, and I don't have a marriage contract, if I ruin my reputation..."

Fang Xiu hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt a cool air around him.

Then, subconsciously looked up, and found that Xia Yixue had stood up.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu showed a smile on his face, stood up as well, and continued: "Since Butou Xia understands what I mean, then I will stop nagging.
