In the evening, Jiang Mingyue checked the test baskets of her two brothers repeatedly to make sure that nothing was missing before returning to the bedroom.

Since they had to get up early tomorrow, Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuanxu went to bed early.

In Beiluo Hutong, Chen Fugui looked at his wife who opened the courtyard door for her and asked with concern: "Why is your face so pale? Are you sick?"

Shen Jiaoniang said calmly, "I went to buy groceries early in the morning. The wind blew and I caught a little cold."

Chen Fugui heard this and held his wife's hand.

"Thank you for your hard work. Now that our family has money, we don't have to be as frugal as before."

Shen Jiaoniang sighed: "Brother Yan and the others are getting older now. We must save more money for them."

Chen Fugui hugged his wife and walked into the house, saying, "Don't worry about me!"

Shen Jiaoniang said 'hmm' and asked, "Have you eaten yet? There is food left for you in the kitchen."

"I had some food with my colleagues, but I'm hungry again now."

"I'll serve you some food." Shen Jiaoniang said and walked to the kitchen.

"If you're sick, go back to your house and rest early! I'll do it myself."

Shen Jiaoniang didn't force herself.

"Okay, the fish soup is specially made for you. Drink more. You have been working hard lately."

"I see."

Shen Jiaoniang saw her husband enter the kitchen and returned to the bedroom expressionlessly.

After Chen Fugui had dinner, he returned to the bedroom and saw that his wife was still combing her hair and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Shen Jiaoniang looked at herself in the mirror and asked, "Am I getting old?"

Chen Fugui walked up behind her and put his hands on her shoulders and said with a smile, "You are not old at all."

"My hair has become white and there are wrinkles on my face. I can't compare with those young women."

After hearing this, Chen Fugui's eyes flashed and he felt a little guilty.

"You will always be so beautiful in my heart."

Shen Jiaoniang smiled, but this time the smile did not reach her eyes: "Go to sleep!"

After a while, she heard her husband's breathing gradually calm down. Shen Jiaoniang opened her eyes. She slowly sat up, got dressed, got out of bed and entered the kitchen. Seeing that there was only a little fish soup left in the pot, Shen Jiaoniang laughed silently.

At the beginning of Yinshi, Jiang Minghong and Qi Yongsi had finished breakfast in Qingshi Hutong. Xie Yuan saw Zhou Bin coming back and asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Bin whispered: "It's safe outside."

Hearing this, Xie Yuan picked up the test basket and handed it to Jiang Minghong and the two of them, and warned them: "Let's go! It's still early, so there's no need to rush. If you sweat, find a place with leeward wind to dry off as soon as possible."

"Okay, we get it."

Jiang Minghong and Qi Yongsi took the test basket, and Zhou Bin and Yu Gen protected the door and walked out.

Xie Yuan didn't close the courtyard door until they could no longer be seen.

At the same time, Chen Fugui went out.

Jiang Ping looked at Chen Fugui walking over and said to the people around him: "Go!"

"Hey!"

The young man walked quickly towards Chen Fugui and bumped into him deliberately.

"sorry Sorry."

After saying that, he picked up his feet and ran away.

Chen Fugui squinted his eyes and touched his arms. His expression changed slightly. The money bag was gone. He hesitated for a moment and did not pursue it. Business was more important.

Jiang Ping looked at Chen Fugui who was walking away quickly, and couldn't help frowning, but he couldn't stop him. Seeing that he was gone, he walked quickly towards Qingshi Hutong on a small road.

After a while, Xie Yuan listened to Jiang Ping's report and said in a warm voice: "Don't worry, they have gone to Gongyuan in advance and should have arrived by now."

Jiang Ping, relieved, hurriedly left Qingshi Hutong.

After watching Jiang Ping leave, Xie Yuan called Zhao Shan to him and whispered a few words to him.

"Go! Be careful."

Zhao Shan nodded, pushed open the courtyard door and walked out quickly.

At half past midnight, Jiang Mingyue was woken up from bed by her husband. Maybe it was because she slept early yesterday, so she woke up immediately.

After washing up as quickly as possible, he followed Xie Yuan to the front yard. Not seeing his two younger brothers, he asked in surprise: "Where are Xiao Hong and Yong Si?"

"They have gone to Gongyuan one step ahead of us."

"Leaved first? Why?" Jiang Mingyue asked with some confusion. It wasn't too late for her to get up!

Xie Yuan helped her walk out and said concisely: "Safe."

Jiang Mingyue looked thoughtful after hearing this. Is Xie Yuan afraid that someone will stop his younger brother from taking the exam? Chen Fugui?

"Watch your feet!"

Jiang Mingyue came to her senses after hearing her husband's reminder, and then realized that she had walked to the carriage.

Xie Yuan helped his wife get on the carriage, looked at Chen Rong and said, "Let's go!"

As the carriage drove forward slowly, Jiang Mingyue suddenly became a little nervous. Will something happen on the way to Gongyuan?

Outside the alley, a thin man looked at the leaving carriage, turned around and hurried away.

After he left, Zhao Shan walked out of the darkness and followed him quickly. The master really knew what was going on.

In the carriage, Xie Yuan looked at his wife with her hands on her knees, her back straight, sitting upright, and the corners of her lips curled up silently. He knew that she must have guessed something.

Xie Yuan put his arms around his wife, pressed her little head into his arms, rubbed her twice and said, "Don't think so wildly, it's okay."

At that time, the thin man walked around the path to the front of the carriage. He ran up to Chen Fugui and whispered: "Master Chen and the others are here."

Chen Fugui nodded, took out a tael of silver and handed it to him: "Thank you for your hard work!"

He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Brother Sun, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Brother Chen, don't worry!"

Agent Sun immediately led the people into action.

In the carriage, Jiang Mingyue was not completely relaxed under the comfort of the man. Suddenly she heard something shouting in front of her. She immediately sat upright and opened the curtain to see the lights on the street in front of her, as if they were searching for someone. .

Xie Yuan leaned close to his wife and looked ahead, narrowing his eyes. This road was the only way for them to go to Gongyuan.

"Chen Rong, go to the front and see what's going on." Xie Yuan opened the curtain and ordered.

"Yes!"

Chen Rong drove the carriage aside and ran forward.

Jiang Mingyue lowered the car curtain and looked at the man beside her.

"Shall we go to the station? It's a bit stuffy in the car."

"it is good!"

The two got off the carriage, and their field of view instantly became much wider. Jiang Mingyue looked forward and said, "It seems to be blocked. The carriage may not be able to pass."

Xie Yuan said 'hmm'.

After a while, Chen Rong ran back and looked at the two of them and said: "More than a dozen policemen are arresting a murderer. They said that there is a big deal in Kyoto, so they blocked off this street and searched them one by one."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but frown when she heard this. At such a critical moment and on their only way to Gongyuan, was it a coincidence? Or did someone do it on purpose?

Xie Yuan lightly hummed, Chen Fugui was very capable and calculating, and catching the murderer was just a cover, and his purpose was to delay time.

It would be great if we could prevent Jiang Minghong from entering the examination room. If we couldn't, we could disturb Jiang Minghong's mood. He did not do it openly, but made excuses to do it secretly.
