"Fuck you, dare to touch my wife?!"

Ye Jiu pulled Qi Shaoan past him, picked up the basket at his feet and kicked it.

At the same time, two figures suddenly flashed in the alley, one flipped to the ground, and the sound of swords piercing the air came from the ear.

The leading beggar happened to be covered by a bamboo basket, staggered a step, and the stick in his hand flew out, "Oh my god, what the hell is this!"

And the two smaller people behind him jumped on him directly, and the three rolled into a ball immediately.

Ye Jiu took the opportunity to jump down quickly, blocking Qi Shaoan behind him.

After Qi Shaoan barely stood still, he looked up at the chaotic scene in front of him, his brows twitching a little.

"do not move!"

Two figures stood in front of Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an respectively, with the swords in their hands resting on the necks of the three of them.

Qi Shaoan looked at the two people who were carrying them behind their backs, and looked at Ye Jiu with some surprise, "Do one, Kun two?"

Ye Jiu patted the ashes on his hands, and laughed, "Uh, Uncle Bai sent it."

Qi Shaoan understood what she said, and her eyes fell on the three figures in ragged clothes again.

The one covered by the basket pulled off the rotten vegetable leaves hanging from his body, and carefully exposed his head from the basket.

"Grand... Grandpa... If you have something to say, speak up... A misunderstanding... This is all a misunderstanding..."

Ye Jiu came out from behind Qianyi, raised his eyebrows, "Misunderstanding?"

She crossed her arms, "Uncle, you almost hurt my wife, okay, what do you think is the misunderstanding?"

The leader was a bearded little old man. Hearing this, he said "Ouch" and slapped his thigh anxiously, but was frightened back by the cold light of the sword in front of him.

"Master, it's really not that we intentionally hurt your wife. I saw you two dressed poorly, so I wanted to come here to ask for a meal. Whoever wanted to step on a vegetable leaf and slipped his foot, wouldn't it be... an accident. Well."

Ye Jiu tilted his head and glanced at the ground, there were indeed a few rotten vegetable leaves scattered here and there.

She frowned suddenly.

It seems that when I moved the basket just now, I accidentally dropped it.

Ye Jiu looked at the three people propped up on the ground, and touched his nose in embarrassment, "Ah, then, you guys should get up first."

Hearing the words, the three of them quickly expressed their thanks, seeing Qian Yikun Er put away his sword, and got up crookedly.

Qi Shaoan stood beside Ye Jiu, and suddenly said in doubt:

"The accents of the few people don't seem to be from the capital, but they seem to be familiar."

Ye Jiu nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

The old man Luohu squeezed his hands awkwardly, "Back to the uncle, my grandson and I are indeed not from the capital. Our hometown is on the north bank of the Weihe River in Yanzhou. If it weren't for..."

"Who are you there!!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout at the entrance of the alley, Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an looked back, and saw a group of officers and soldiers walking towards them quickly.

The cheeky old man panicked all of a sudden, "Grandpa, please save our lives. These days, the city is being searched and arrested by the murderers. We will be arrested when we see beggars. We have nowhere to go."

Ye Jiu looked at the old man who was only protecting the two children, one big and one small, with panic and anger in his eyes, it didn't look like a fake.

"Ganyi, you take them to find Dong Fei, and I will deal with it here."

Ye Jiu clenched Qi Shaoan's palm, and Qi Shaoan tacitly took half a step back, half-hiding behind her.

"Who are you! Get out of the way!"

The officers and soldiers at the head looked serious, seeing the three of Ye Jiu standing in the middle of the road, and stepped forward displeasedly to push them away.

"Why are the officials so flustered? But what kind of culprits are they arresting?"

Ye Jiu took a step back, still smiling, and asked.

"If you shouldn't ask, don't..."

In the middle of the official's words, he was slapped in the eyes by a piece of silver that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"The official works hard, so let's treat everyone to a drink."

The officer glanced at her, glanced around a few times, and quietly reached out to take it.

"Who is the officer chasing after?" Ye Jiu stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

The officer raised his belt, lowered his head and said casually: "This city has been uneasy recently, and bandits are making trouble. We are also acting according to the rules."

Ye Jiu looked at a man in ragged clothes behind them, and asked with a frown, "Then why do all the beggars arrest the rogues?"

The officer looked at her suspiciously, and his voice became a little impatient, "I said why you have so many problems. Mr. Fu Yin said that this rogue is most likely to pretend to be a beggar to confuse the public, so I ordered that all beggars on the street, Grab them all!"

After that, he glanced at Ye Jiu, raised his hand, and led the people through.

When the imprisoned beggar walked past Ye Jiu, he raised his head and gave her a deep look.

"My lord, do you want to go back to the mansion?"

Ye Jiu was still looking at the indescribable eyes of that person just now, there seemed to be despair, pain, and pleading.

"Ajiu?"

Seeing that Ye Jiujiu was silent, Qi Shaoan called her out worriedly.

Hearing this, Ye Jiu came back to his senses, looked at the alley where the officials had disappeared, and frowned more and more, "Shaoer, I feel something is wrong."

Qi Shao'an nodded and said, "The most urgent thing right now is to meet up with Gan Yi and figure out the ins and outs."

……

"Son..."

When Ye Jiu and Qi Shao'an pushed open the door, they saw Dong Fei's face as if he had knocked over the dyeing plate.

Dong Fei looked at the mess on the table and felt a dull pain in her heart: "This is already the third pot of rice, it will be empty if you eat it again..."

Only then did Ye Jiu see behind the pile of plates, three figures who were working hard.

She and Qi Shao'an looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and patted Dong Fei on the shoulder, "I'm really relieved to have you, an iron rooster, sitting in the restaurant."

Dongfei: "???"

Ye Jiu turned to look at Gan Yi, "How about it, no one is following."

Gan Yi shook his head: "Thanks to the young master for delaying the time, no one followed."

Ye Jiu nodded when he heard the words, and seeing the old man finally put down his chopsticks after wiping his mouth, he smiled and said, "How is it, is it delicious?"

The old man hurriedly cupped his hands, "It's so delicious, I haven't even eaten many things!"

When Ye Jiu heard what a good guy, he was so full that even the "Old Man" came out, she slightly curled her lips, and stretched her hand to the side:

"Shao'er, the abacus."

Qi Shaoan took the Xiaojin abacus next to him, and handed it to Ye Jiu very obediently.

"Let's do the math, Kung Pao chicken is 35 yuan, fish-flavored shredded pork is [-] yuan, stir-fried tripe shreds, lotus pond moonlight are [-] yuan each, hand-caught mutton and braised pig's feet are [-] yuan each, plus Two taels of good ginseng tea, and..."

"uncle!!"

The old man was about to burst into tears, he jumped up and jumped in front of Ye Jiu, stomping his feet back and forth anxiously.

Ye Jiu quietly glanced at his "acrylic" wooden floor, and said lightly:

"Why, the floor of my house is hot?"

The old man stared at the golden abacus in his hand for a moment, then directly brought the two grandsons over.

The eldest grandson was still holding a white steamed bun in his hand, and his big eyes were full of bewilderment.

"Or... these two little brats have paid off their debts."

The two grandsons turned their heads instantly when they heard it, and even the eldest grandson let go of his hand in shock, and the steamed bun fell to the ground.However, without saying a word, he lay down on the ground and grabbed it again, and blew it twice in a hurry.

Qi Shao'an saw it, and a few traces of pain flashed across his eyes.

The image of a thin figure struggling to snatch a dirty and broken water bag under the peach blossoms fluttering in the sky suddenly flashed in her mind.

There are still countless days and nights, the dry and hard pastry covered with mud.

She endured the soreness in her heart and waved to the two children, "Come on, my sister has cakes here, they are delicious."

Seeing this, the old man hurriedly pushed his grandson towards Qi Shaoan, then rubbed his hands at Ye Jiu, "Master... no, son..."

At this time, Ye Jiu was looking sideways at the tenderness between Qi Shaoan's eyebrows and eyes. She slightly bent the corner of her lower lip, and then let go of her calculations: "It seems that you don't plan to pay, that's fine, you put your background , native place, why you came here, and what is the relationship with the official post, all clearly stated, otherwise..."

She smiled lightly, "Welcome to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion."

The old man nodded his head like pounding garlic, pulled a stool, rolled up his sleeves and said, "The little old man is from Zuoshan County on the north bank of the Weihe River in Yanzhou. With this horrible weather, there is not much cotton and wheat left in this field."

Ye Jiu frowned, "I heard something."

The old man went on to say: "There are silkworms on the south side of the river, but there is nothing to rely on on the north side. We were waiting for the imperial court's relief food relief, but several months have passed, and there is still no news. If you ask, there is no food. You say How do we live?"

The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, "My lord, it's not my bragging rights. If the bark and grass roots can satisfy hunger, all the trees in Yanzhou will be gnawed bare."

Ye Jiu put his fingers against Ren's head, neither smiling nor not smiling, and asked, "Then what's your relationship with the rogues?"

The old man was a little puzzled, "Rogue? What kind of bandit?"

Ye Jiuwen changed the question, "Then why did the government arrest you?"

The old man sighed, "We originally planned to come to the capital to sue the Beijing officials. If we couldn't do it, we could sue the imperial court, but who knew that after the joint letter was handed over to the Jingzhao government office, not only the person who sued did not come back, but even fellow villagers who were traveling with us were arrested one after another. Let's go, we are penniless, so we had to beg along the street, but they still didn't let us go."

Ye Jiu narrowed her eyes, tapped her fingers on the table lightly, she turned her head to look at Qi Shao'an, and saw Qi Shao'an was also looking at her right now, frowning slightly.Seeing himself turning around, he nodded slightly.

"Dong Fei, immediately follow this uncle to find a fellow villager who is still hiding in the capital. After finding it, take him to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing for resettlement. Don't make any noise."

Ye Jiu paused and said, "Xi Ning is agile, let her follow the Yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion, and stop them before they arrest her."

Dong Fei changed her enchanting posture, pinned the palace fan behind her neck, cupped her hands and said, "Yes."

……

Ye Jiu hadn't inquired thoroughly about the Jingzhao Mansion and the victims, when the palace sent people here.

Name certificates, waist badges, official uniforms, gold and silver rewards, jewelry and silk, Eunuch Fang Zhi stepped into the gate of Zhenyuanhou's mansion with an imperial decree in hand.

"Marquis Lin, this old slave is here to congratulate you."

Ye Jiu got up after receiving the order, and Qi Shaoan also stood up, then she took out the lucky bag from her sleeve, stepped forward and handed it to Fang Zhi.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu smiled slightly, "Thank you, Eunuch Fang, for taking care of you that day. Lin is very grateful."

Fang Zhi smiled but said nothing, and took it calmly, "Marquis Lin is too famous, please change your clothes and go to the palace with the old slave, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, "But what's the important thing?"

Fang Zhi nodded slightly, "You will know when Marquis Lin is gone."

……

Chaoyuan Hall.

When Ye Jiu stepped into the hall, apart from Chu Shishen's [-] million face, there was another new face inside.

She paused for a moment, took a quick glance, then walked to the desk, bowed and saluted, "My servant sees Your Majesty."

Chu Shishen raised his head, "Shi Jin is here."

He put down his pen and pointed to the young man in a brown-red robe and soft armor next to him, "The guard of the capital that I mentioned to you, Xiao Lanfeng."

Ye Jiu was taken aback, "The defense of the capital? Master Xiao?"

Xiao Lanfeng turned his head to look at Ye Jiu when he heard the words, and saw a person wearing an indigo round-neck robe, a navy belt around his waist, and a faint smile, standing beside him.

"I've seen Young Master."

Ye Jiu returned the salute, and looked at Xiao Lanfeng.

About the same age as himself, although he looked like he was wearing armor and helmets, his brows and eyes did not have the fierceness of fighting, but there was a gentleness.

"Okay, I've seen you before, today I have something to ask you, I didn't ask you to meet each other!"

Chu Shishen snorted dissatisfiedly, and leaned on the back of the chair with folded arms.

Ye Jiu and Xiao Lanfeng were stunned for a moment, then she chuckled, "Okay, okay, tell me."

Chu Shishen sat up straight when he heard the words, looked at the two of them and said word by word: "Fang Weihong is dead."

"what??"

"what."

When Chu Shishen and Xiao Lanfeng heard Ye Jiu's calm tone, they both turned their heads and looked at Ye Jiu with strange eyes.

Ye Jiu looked back and forth with his eyeballs, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "No... who is Fang Weihong?"

Chu Shishen tapped Naoren with a headache, "He is from Zhuge.

Ye Jiu's heart skipped a beat.

Chu Shishen saw that she was still a little puzzled, and added: "Zhu Pavilion has three divisions in charge, and he is one of them."

Ye Jiu: "..."
