Patrol's sweetheart baby

"Da da da--"

The sound of horseshoes sounded on the bluestone road covered with scales and moonlight.

A carriage with a spacious appearance and elegant decoration stopped at the gate of the prefect's office in Chun'an.

A thin figure jumped out of the carriage.

After landing on the ground and standing firmly, the man bowed and reported to the people in the carriage through the curtain, "Master, the office of the prefect of Chun'an has arrived."

A lazy, boneless male voice came from inside, "Is everything ready?"

"It's all ready, master."

Slender, fair hands lifted the curtain, revealing a handsome man's face.

The young man bent down, but the foot that was supposed to be on his back never stepped on it.

"These things are not for you to do."

Xiao Zishu raised his head in astonishment, frowned slightly, his expression was a little dignified, "Master, but what did Gong Ming do wrong?"

He is a servant of the Xie Mansion, fortunately the master favored him and transferred him to serve him, these things are what he should do, why does the master have such remarks?

"Get up and straighten your back."

Xiao Zishu did as he said, and straightened his stooped back, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

Lightly volleying in the air, Xie Jinbai landed lightly on his feet as he passed Xiao Zishu.

"Go and pick up the things, let's go."

Pulling out the folding fan at his waist, he tapped the handle skillfully on his palm, Xie Jinbai turned his head to Xiao Zishu and said,

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the government office.

Xiao Zishu hurriedly withdrew his thoughts, turned around to unload the carriage, and followed.

"May I ask your surname? Is there a name card from the family?"

But most of those who watch the housekeeper's duties have such good eyesight.

The carriage parked in front of the courtyard was spacious and exquisite. One could tell at a glance that the person coming was either rich or noble, and Xie Jinbai's extraordinary demeanor of a son of a family could be seen at a glance. Yamen officials are very polite to him.

"I went out in a hurry, and I didn't bring a name card. You two went to report, and only said that Yingyang and Xie Huaiyu came to visit."

Thank you, Xie Huaiyu?

Is that inspector who came from the capital and was handpicked by the sage, and the master has to be courteous when he sees it? !

After all, so young?

"Thank you for waiting, my lord."

One of the gatekeepers hurried in to deliver a message.

After a while, an old man with a lantern came out from inside.

Seeing Xie Jinbai who was waiting at the door, the old man took three steps at a time, stepped forward hurriedly, and bowed his hands in reverence and salute.

"Qiu Fu, the villain, is the steward of the mansion. He has met Mr. Xie. It is said that Xie Xunyin came to visit, and the younger ones would never dare to refuse. It's just that our little son was riding a horse today, and fell off the horse's back accidentally. Seriously injured, even now the doctors are still seeing her in the little prince's room. Our master is afraid that he has no intention of seeing guests at this time. Please also thank you, Mr. Haihan."

Outsiders don't know, and Xie Jinbai doesn't know, Tang Xiaotang fell off his horse by accident and was seriously injured, obviously he ordered him to hit him with a board.

The housekeeper said that the injury was due to an accident with the horse, and it seems that Tang Shimao had concealed something from the people in the house, nothing more than to take care of the face of Young Master Tang and the Tang family.

As a man, his son boldly proposed to marry him on the same occasion as a man, and he was beaten severely for this. If he were Tang Shimao, he would not tell the truth to the people under him. Read the joke.

"To be honest, Xie came here this time not to visit the prefect of Tang, but to visit the young master Tang. There is a housekeeper leading the way."

The butler was stunned.

He didn't come to see the master, but to visit the young master.

Weird.

How did the young master recognize such a noble person?

"Butler Qiu, please."

Before Steward Qiu could figure it out, Xie Jinbai raised the corners of his lips slightly, and made a "please" gesture.

"Small panic, my lord, you have broken the villain!"

Qiu Fu bowed and bowed again.

Xie Jin said that up to this point, Qiu Fu, a small magistrate butler, wouldn't dare to shirk.

With no choice, Qiu Fu had no choice but to walk ahead and lead the way with the green gauze lantern in his hand.

Although Chun'an is not as rich and prosperous as Yingyang, the capital, it is a land of fish and rice after all, and the tax revenue is relatively rich. Therefore, the construction of government offices is quite luxurious, but because of the darkness, the surrounding scenery can't be seen clearly, only a rough outline can be seen. .

The lobby is where the prefect tried the prisoners, and the second hall was where the prefect and the government offices worked.

After the main hall, the second hall, and the spacious courtyard in the third entrance, it is the place where the magistrate and his family members, maidservants, servants, etc. live.

If ordinary people enter this prefect for the first time, they will be shocked by the majesty and grandeur of this mansion.

For Xie Jinbai, who was born in the prime minister's mansion, even the palace officials could come and go freely, and a mere magistrate's government office would not notice him.

Not to mention Xie Jinbai, even Xiao Zishu did not show any surprise when he entered the majestic magistrate's office. He just held the gift box calmly and followed behind his master without looking sideways.

The butler secretly observed the expressions of the master and servant, and couldn't help but secretly admire them.

As expected of someone from the capital, his demeanor is really different.

"what--"

Passing through a forest with sparse flowers and trees, a hoarse scream suddenly cut through the silent house.

"Poor thing, I'm afraid the young master will wake up from the pain again."

The housekeeper murmured distressedly.

He raised the lantern up, illuminated the path in the yard, turned around and asked Xie Jinbai for instructions in a low voice, "Sir, after passing this yard, the young master's residence is in front of you. Please allow the villain to go and report."

"Wait a minute."

Hearing this, Qiu Fu stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and looked at Xie Jinbai puzzled.

Xie Jinbai did not speak again.

He stood under a crabapple tree, facing the room with the brightest lights.

That shrill scream just now came from there.

After a while, maidservants brought out basins of water one after another, and the dark color of blood could be seen in the night.

There continued to be screams intermittently coming from the room.

The voice gradually weakened, and suddenly rose, but it became hoarse each time.

Hearing the little master's distressed cry, Qiu Fu silently wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Qiu Fu couldn't bear to listen any longer.

But Mr. Xie didn't know what was going on, he refused to go any further for no reason, and he didn't dare to call the shots and report to the Patriarch.

Waiting so hard is like being tortured.

Qiu Fu didn't understand why Xie Jinbai stopped suddenly, even Xiao Zishu was puzzled by his master's move.

In fact, Xiao Zishu felt that something was wrong with the master when the master and the servant returned to the inn where they were staying from Huilou.

First, he stayed alone in the room for half a day, ordering that no guests be seen, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

No Xuanren went in to serve dinner.

When it was dark, Fang came out of the house, and the clothes on his body had been changed.

The first thing he ordered was for someone to buy some of these things that are currently on the carriage.

Afterwards, without any warning, she suddenly proposed to come to Chun'an Mansion...

Tang Xiaotang and Meng Lang were the first, not only showing love to his master in front of all the officials, but also so presumptuous that he claimed to marry the master as his wife, which is extremely rude!

If it weren't for the master's official business during this trip to Chun'an, he would never have pleaded for a son like Tang Xiaotang in Zhaohui Tower.

At that time, Tang Xiaotang's life was spared because of the overall situation.

What he couldn't understand was that according to his master's past temperament, a prodigal like Tang Xiaotang would beat him up immediately, and he would definitely not take this character to heart afterwards, so why did he come here specially?

The master is extremely impatient to wait.

In the past, the emperor summoned him, and he would never easily let the master wait outside. Like now, standing in the courtyard for more than half an hour for no reason, this kind of thing would never happen in the past!

Another more than half an hour passed, except for a few occasional yells, there were only small and weak pain left.

Gradually, the sound of conversation came from the house.

The sobbing of Mrs. Tang was silent all around, and Tang Shimao's abrupt sentence "This kind of rebellious son, it's better to die! If we die, our whole family will be clean, and we don't have to worry that Xie Huaiyu will come to trouble us because of this rebellious son." "'s angry remarks, Tang Buqi whispered to persuade the two elders, and they fell into the second middle school of the three in the yard without saying a word.

Hearing the words "Xie Huaiyu", the housekeeper was so surprised that the lantern in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Is the young master's injuries all related to Mr. Xie?

As a magistrate butler, he didn't dare to ask too much. He was worried that Xie Jinbai really came to trouble the young master, and he didn't dare to make the decision to report it without authorization. He could only continue to wait, his heart seemed to be thrown into the fire to cook oil It can be described as infinite suffering.

The housekeeper peeked at the man under the crabapple tree, but saw that the young inspector was still standing, facing the young master's room, and because of the shadow of the flower, he couldn't see the expression on the other's face.

Suddenly, the butler felt an extremely cold gaze falling on him.

He turned his head subconsciously, met Xiao Zishu's cold eyes full of warning, his eyes shrank, he hurriedly lowered his head to look at his toes, and didn't dare to glance around.

Under the crabapple tree, Xie Jinbai moved slightly.

Under the astonished gazes of the housekeeper and Xiao Zishu, Xie Jinbai raised his foot and walked towards the wing where Tang Xiaotang was.
