"The subordinate is incompetent, and was escaped by the thief. Please punish the master."

Xiao Zishu stepped forward, bowed his head and cupped his fists.

His expression was unprecedentedly cold and serious.

Xiao Zishu has practiced martial arts hard since he was a child, and has few opponents.

It was the first time that someone slipped away from under his nose, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Xie Jin's white eyes showed a little surprise. Gongming's lightness kung fu is not only unrivaled in Dongqi, at least it is not easy to slip away from Gongming's nose.

Xie Jinbai laughed softly, "This little Fufeng County is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

Dare to commit murder outside the yamen, the other party clearly has never put him in the eyes of the county magistrate, Dongqi Law, or even the imperial court, so he dared to act so boldly.

"It's the subordinate's incompetence."

Xiao Zishu cupped his fists again and said.

If his qinggong was more refined, the thief would not disappear under his nose.

"Since the other party dared to commit crimes under the watchful eyes of everyone, he is sure to be able to escape. We have only come to Fufeng County, and we are not familiar with the terrain of Fufeng County. It is normal that we failed to catch up with him this time. Don't be too bitter .”

Xiao Zishu pursed his lips, apparently still annoyed at losing him.

Seeing that Xiao Zishu was still in a low mood, Xie Jinbai said calmly, "There are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. In this world, there is no absolute strongman. No one can stand on the top forever. Similarly, there may not be people who start climbing from the bottom of the mountain. You can't stand on the top of Zhongshan in one day. Gongming, don't be trapped in the momentary success or failure."

The reason why Xie Jinbai specifically said this to Xiao Zishu was because in his previous life Xiao Zishu accompanied him to oversee Beiye, and was defeated by Canglan's famous general Mu Qingye in a fight with Canglan's army.

Xiao Zishu was stimulated, he practiced martial arts harder every day, and acted more aggressively.

In the previous life, because Xiao Zishu didn't listen to Xie Jinbai's persuasion, he was too aggressive, so that he was ambushed by the enemy on the road.

In the end, although he tried his best to break out of the encirclement, the army led by Xie Jinbai was besieged because of the missed opportunity, and Xiao Zishu also died at the hands of the enemy because of saving Xie Jinbai.

The most taboo in marching and fighting is to be affected by the momentary victory or defeat, so why not other things?

Xiao Zishu was a perceptive person, so he could hear the hint in Xie Jinbai's words.

He swept away the depression just now, and said in a deep voice, "This subordinate knows!"

Perhaps because he was no longer depressed, Xiao Zishu suddenly remembered the doubts he found while chasing the murderer, "Master, although my subordinates did not catch up with that person, they discovered that the other party's qinggong skills are not my Dongqi's."

Hearing this, Tang Xiaotang said in surprise, "Could it be possible, really, there are really survivors of the old Nansang country who have mixed into my Dongqi? But Nansang is not destroyed by our Dongqi. If there is a grievance and a debtor, it is revenge. If you don't come to us, come on us?"

"It is said that the reason why Ruan Ling was able to rise up and annex Nansang in the past was because the late emperor secretly sent troops to help Ruan Ling, in exchange for Ruan Ling bowing his head to Dongqi."

Xie Jinbai slowly revealed the truth that the old country Nansang was destroyed by Ruan Ling.

But the fact is that today's Ruan Lingguo pays tribute to Dongqi every year, and when Ruan Lingguo enters the capital to face the saint, he needs to profess his minister and call Sui with his mouth.

It can be seen that the rumors are not groundless.

If Nansang Kingdom had been destroyed back then, Dong Qi had indeed stepped in, and if he came to seek revenge and stir up Huang Dongqi's troubled waters, it would really be a well-known teacher, karma.

Tang Xiaotang took a deep breath, "How...how could it be? No, the late emperor sent the princess to Nansang to make a kiss?"

If the first emperor really sent troops to help Ruan Ling annex Nansang, where would the princess and the children born to the princess and the monarch of Nansang be placed?

Father is one of the main culprits who ruined his country and family...

Think about it, it's all abusive.

"The most ruthless emperor's family. In the face of absolute power, loved ones are just political weights, pawns that can be discarded at any time. Not to mention, they are just a princess. The royal family has never lacked princesses."

Xie Jinbai expressed the ruthlessness of the royal family in a simple sentence.

Tang Xiaotang felt uncomfortable hearing it.

Did the little emperor think so too?

For the little emperor, brother Xiaoyu is also a pawn that can be discarded at any time?

That's why he said that a big marriage is a big marriage, and he demoted Brother Xiaoyu to a place like Fufeng County!

Sure enough, the most ruthless emperor's family!

Being an emperor is not a thing!

Xie Jinbai, who suddenly felt the young master's "loving" gaze, tapped Tang Xiaotang's forehead with his fingers, "Don't think about it."

"I, where am I, I'm thinking about it."

Master Ge listened to his county magistrate, Yu Yundan, speak out the secrets of the imperial court lightly, and even discussed royal affairs indiscriminately, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He is just a little boss, he just wants to work safely until retirement, and, no, he doesn't want to know too many secrets!

Not long after, Wang Peng led the other yamen servants back to the government office.

Even Xiao Zishu couldn't catch him, Wang Peng and the others hadn't even seen each other's shadow.

The assailant's whereabouts were unknown, so Zhu Hongzhen's body couldn't stay in the morgue of the Yamen all the time.

The next day, Xie Jinbai ordered the people in the Zhu family to bring Zhu Hongzhen's body back.

Zhu Hongzhen was responsible for the murder case, but he had never been assassinated this time. When the case was submitted to the state government, most likely it was a public beheading. The Zhu family did not dare to ask the yamen for an explanation. up.

Zhu Yanpeng took back the body silently, even the funeral was handled very low-key.

Maybe Zhu Hongzhen's death hit Zhu Yanpeng too hard, and because of him, his classmate Zhao Xiaorui fell to his father's hands. It didn't take long for Zhu Yanpeng to liquidate his family property and plan to move to another place.

Zhu Hongzhen left the word "river" before his death. Xie Jinbai once sent government servants to investigate all the buildings and houses along the river in Fufeng County, and found nothing unusual.

Compared with the case that has not progressed, Xie Jinbai, the new county magistrate, has become famous in Fufeng County for solving the case of Zhao Xiaorui's disappearance in a short period of time.

The people in Fufeng County all know that there is a county magistrate who can solve cases like a god in the county. Not only that, the new magistrate is also very talented. .

Originally, when the county magistrate was promoted, most of the onlookers were elderly women or men.

Now outside the yamen, I occasionally see the daughter of the boudoir, wearing a veiled hat covered with a layer of thin silk on her head, so that people can't see her face, or directly covering her face with a light veil, standing outside the hall, just In order to see the style of the new county magistrate.

Every day when the hall is opened, there are huge crowds of people outside the yamen, which is almost the same as the bustling scene of the temple fair.

Xie Jinbai goes to court every day to settle cases, and it's a matchmaker for there is even an Iceman coming to the yamen.

It was only after Xie Jinbai released the news that he was married in his hometown, and his family had a shrewd wife, so he dared not take concubines easily, and the icemen who came to the Yamen to be a matchmaker left with regret.

After all, there are not many daughters who want to be concubines, let alone Xie Jinbai already has a shrewd wife in his family.

Originally, the identities of wives and concubines were already disparate. If the older sister was a fierce and jealous wife, wouldn't life be even more difficult after marrying in?

So, gradually, the number of Icemen who went to the Yamen to talk about money decreased.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially in a place like the yamen, where there are many people talking. Not long after, the news that the new county magistrate's family has a shrewd wife, and Mr. Xie is a fear of internal affairs, spread throughout the yamen. Become the talk of the crowd.

"Hey, I didn't expect Master Xie to be so handsome, and so young and promising, to marry such a fierce wife. It's really sympathetic."

"Think about it. It is said that Mr. Xie has already started a family at his age. But have any of us heard him mention his family? No? It turns out that there is a shrewd wife in my family. If one of my family is in charge of me, I won't let me I don't want to mention the shrewd wife who takes concubines. Young master Tang, don't you think so?"

"This... the two adults are probably asking the wrong person."

Hearing this, the two scholars looked puzzled.

Ok?

Young Master Tang and Master are inseparable, doesn't it mean that even Young Master Tang doesn't know about Mr. Xie's shrewd wife?

On this day, Xie Jinbai left the hall, and accompanied by Ge Zhou, went to the rest room in the back hall.

When the two walked to the door, they heard a conversation coming from inside.

Ge Zhou suddenly showed embarrassment.

He was about to speak out to remind the two clerks inside not to speak indiscriminately, but Xie Jinbai raised his hand to stop him.

Ge Zhou's expression was a little anxious, he was afraid that if he continued to listen like this, he would hear something even more serious, but the magistrate of Zhixian was standing beside him, even if he wanted to go in and ventilate the two scribes, he had more than enough energy. insufficient.

After a while, Tang Xiaotang's crisp voice came from inside, "Because the wife in my family is very charming and lovely, so thank you for the suffering of my lord. I, I have never experienced it."

The two clerks were taken aback, "Young Master Tang, is he already married at such a young age?"

Tang Xiaotang smiled shyly and said "Yes".

"Young master Tang is so lucky! You are really young and promising. Young and promising."

"Surely Young Master Tang and his wife are very affectionate, right?"

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

Is it worthwhile to be young if you have already married a wife at a young age?

This flattery is not shot like this, is it?

But it's quite comforting to hear about the deep love and so on.

"Master Xie's fierce wife, Young Master Tang, have you seen it before?"

"I have seen it."

"Does she look like a dominatrix?"

"Impossible? If you look like a dominatrix, how could the Taifu and his wife agree to their marriage? Presumably that Madam Xie's appearance is outstanding."

"Have you seen it again?"

"I haven't seen it. Isn't this, young master Tang, have you seen it? Young master, tell us, what does Mrs. Xie's wife look like?"

So, the question fell on Tang Xiaotang again.

Tang Xiaotang smiled, "Yeah. Same, worse than me, about the same."

The two clerks were very embarrassed, "Hehe. The young master really likes to joke."

Tang Xiaotang looked innocently, "Master Xie's wife is my sister. My sister and I are twins. If she is dressed as a man, or if I dress up as a woman, even the family members will not be able to tell the difference easily. Besides, my sister is proficient in poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and even female celebrities. It can be said that Mr. Xie loves my sister very much. My sister told him to go east, but he would definitely not dare to go west."

Obviously it was Xie Jinbai who asked him to copy three pieces of calligraphy every day after completing the homework assigned. If he didn't finish it, he would not be allowed to go to his couch. When it came to Tang Xiaotang's mouth, he became Xie Jinbai's strict wife. , The tone is not guilty at all.

"really?"

The two clerks didn't know that he was talking nonsense, let alone the amount of water in his last sentence, so they couldn't help looking at Young Master Tang.

They had some doubts before, why Mr. Xie took good care of Mr. Tang, and the two were born with different surnames. It turned out that they were brother-in-laws.

One of the younger scribes sighed sincerely, "If Sister Ling really has the appearance of a young master and is so talented...it's no wonder Master Xie loves Sister Ling so much."

Young Master Tang looks so amazing, if he wears women's clothes...

It's not hard to imagine how charming this sister is.

Another clerk expressed puzzlement, "I heard that the young master's sister is a well-educated lady, why...why didn't you allow Mr. Xie to take another concubine? Mr. Xie is so young and one of the most respected. Longfeng, wouldn't it be a pity to marry only one wife for the rest of your life? Young Master Tang is so close to Mr. Xie, it is better to persuade Mr. Xie. The so-called unfilialism has three things, and it is the greatest to have no descendants. To be a son of man, besides making meritorious deeds and honoring the lintel of the family, It is my duty to spread branches and leaves for the family."

"That's true. Young master Xie, does your lord have no heirs yet?"

Knowing that the two scribes had no other intentions, Tang Xiaotang pursed her lips involuntarily.

The older clerk saw the young master's displeasure, and immediately lowered his voice, "What...what's the matter? Young master Tang, could it be that there is a bed dispute between my sister and Mr. Xie?"

Tang Xiaotang retorted loudly, "That's not true! My sister and brother Xiaoyu are in harmony with each other, and the bed is also harmonious, very harmonious! There is no one more harmonious than them!"

The younger man let out a "huh" and asked in great surprise, "Does Master Xie even share this kind of bed affairs with the young master?"

Miss Tang is the daughter of the boudoir, so it is impossible to share this boudoir secret with her younger brother, even the younger brother of the same mother, unless it comes from Mr. Xie, she will not be someone else's candidate.

Now, generally a brother-in-law would share his boudoir with his brother-in-law?

Should, no?

Facing the confused eyes of the two pairs looking at him together, Tang Xiaotang blushed. He couldn't just tell people that he was the one who was exploring the secrets of the boudoir with Xie Jinbai, could he?

You can only grit your teeth and pour a big basin of dirty water on yourself, "No, no. I eavesdropped from outside the door of the two of them."

The eyes of the two scribes looking at Tang Xiaotang suddenly changed, and it was written in their eyes, "I didn't expect you to be such a young master"!

"That's, that's what I did when I was young and ignorant. It was all out of goodness and curiosity at that time. Now, no, I don't do this anymore!"

Tang Xiaotang hurriedly cleared his name.

"So, Young Master Tang...is he well versed in this way now? I don't know that Young Master Tang and Mrs. Ling..."

Hearing that the two officials asked more and more questions, Xie Jinbai slowly appeared and walked into the room without haste.

Ge Zhou followed behind him.

"grown ups."

"grown ups."

The two clerks hurriedly stopped talking, stood up, and saluted Xie Jinbai with cupped hands.

Tang Xiao looked guilty.

What, who is this person, when did he come?

Xie Jinbai sat down behind the table in the rest room, "Has the list of foreign personnel registered in Fufeng County in the past 20 years been sorted out?"

"It's done, it's finished. My lord, please take a look..."

Fortunately, although the two scribes were a little more curious, they still knew how to do practical things.

The older scribe handed over the list they sorted out to Xie Jinbai.

Xie Jinbai opened it, and glanced at it roughly. The birthplace, gender, age, and even address, as well as the industry he is currently engaged in are also recorded in detail.

It seems that the two scribes brought out by Master Ge are also quite capable.

Xie Jinbai put the brochure on the table, "You two have worked hard."

The two scribes immediately said in unison, "Your Excellency, you are serious, this is the job of the lower officials."

Xie Jinbai nodded, indicating that they have nothing to do here, let them go on first.

The two scribes bowed their hands and retreated.

"correct."

The two scribes who came to the door stopped together and turned their heads in confusion.

I only heard the person behind the desk say softly, "The reason why I don't have any children is because my wife is still young. He is still a child and needs to be loved and pampered. I don't want to have another child. Distribute his energy. Therefore, he has no heirs yet. Thank you both for your concern about Xie's bed."

When the two scribes heard this, their legs became weak and they almost didn't fall to the ground.

God!

How much has this person heard? !

The two clerks pleaded guilty again and again, saying that they would not dare to break their mouths again in the future, and they even wanted to slap themselves.

Only then did Xie Jinbai reluctantly let the two of them go and let them go.

Master Ge saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he quickly found an excuse and left.

Inside the door, Tang Xiaotang even heard Master Ge's order to the guards outside the door in a low voice, not to let people in easily if there is nothing to do to disturb the magistrate's order to discuss matters with Young Master Tang.

Xie Jinbai sat behind the desk, staring at the young master in the room, with a half-smile, "You're charming, huh?"

Tang Xiaotang walked over, put one hand on the table, leaned forward, and lifted Xie Jinbai's chin, "Young lady is so beautiful, she can certainly be praised as charming and lovely. Isn't she?" , Mr. Tang's little wife?"

Xie Jinbai bent her lips, "That's it, thank you husband for your praise."

Hearing this man call him the word "husband", Tang Xiaotang's heart skipped a beat.

His dark eyes were shining brightly, and his cheeks flushed with excitement, "Call me again to listen."

Xie Jinbai's thin lips parted slightly, "Husband——"

Tang Xiaotang held his breath and leaned forward involuntarily.

As if patiently waiting for the prey to take the bait, Xie Jinbai stretched out his long arms, pressed his big palm on the back of his head, and grabbed his lips accurately.

"No! No!"

The table in the rest room was not too long, but the edge of the table still reached Tang Xiaotang's lower abdomen, which made him protest in dissatisfaction.

Xie Jinbai sensed his discomfort.

For the time being, he let go of the hand that was pressing on the back of Tang Xiaotang's head.

Tang Xiaotang supported the table, panting slightly.

Xie Jinbai got up, walked around to this side of the table, hugged him in the posture of holding a child, put him on the table, and kissed him again.

"No, no... Here, someone will enter at any time..."

Tang Xiaotang raised his neck to avoid Xie Jinbai's kiss, how could Xie Jinbai allow him to avoid it?

He grabbed the back of his head and forcibly captured his lips.

The kiss this time was far more ferocious than the one just now.

At first, Tang Xiaotang thought that someone might come in from outside at any time, so he couldn't let it go. As he got better, he became more and more involved, and gradually forgot where he was, and concentrated on this kiss.

He circled Xie Jinbai's neck, and moved his body closer to him more and more actively.

The heart and soul are numb, and the whole body is limp.

If it weren't for this man's hands around his waist, he would definitely fall off the table.

The belt around the waist was undone.

The hand around Tang Xiaotang's waist moved down.

Tang Xiaotang was short of breath.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Outside the door, the guard reported, "My lord, Mr. Zhu is asking to see you."

Tang Xiaotang was young and inexperienced. Although he had experienced it several times before, it took a little longer, but now he was interrupted by such an interruption, and when he got nervous, the scorching thing covered Xie Jinbai's hands.

"I, I've said it all, no, don't be here, you must, you must listen. What, what should I do..."

Tang Xiaotang's cheeks were flushed, but even the eye sockets were covered with a thin layer of water because of being too anxious.

"Don't panic."

Xie Jinbai kissed his eyelids.

First, he wiped the burnt object in his hands with a towel, and then closed the open skirt for him unhurriedly.

"I, I'll do it myself, you, you go open, open the window, open, ventilate."

Tang Xiaotang stretched out his hand, stopped Xie Jinbai from tying his belt, and told him to open the window quickly.

"My lord, do you want Young Master Zhu to go back first?"

The guard outside the door didn't get Xie Jinbai's answer for a long time, so he couldn't help asking again.

"No. Let him in."

So Zhu Yanpeng was brought in.

The guards brought Zhu Yanpeng in and went out first.

Because the weather is already cold now, Xie Jinbai did not open all the windows in the leisure room as before, but only opened one.

Zhu Yanpeng cupped his hands and bowed to Xie Jinbai, "Xiaosheng Zhu Yanpeng sees Mr. Xie.

Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang sat side by side on the pear blossom wooden chair in the rest room.

"No courtesy. I don't know what the so-called Mr. Zhu came to visit this county this time?"

Zhu Yanpeng straightened up, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Tang Xiaotang with spring eyes, blushing face, and gorgeous lips, and Xie Jinbai, who was in a slightly wrinkled official robe, couldn't help but be surprised.

"Master Zhu?"

Xie Jinbai's tone sank slightly.

Realizing that he seemed to have seen something that he shouldn't have seen, Zhu Yanpeng hurriedly looked away, cupped his hands and replied, "Xiaosheng came here specially to say goodbye to Mr. Xie. In a few days, Xiaosheng will leave Fufeng and go to his uncle's house. Besides, this is What Xiaosheng discovered when sorting out his father's belongings, I hope it can be helpful to adults."

Xie Jinbai took what Zhu Yanpeng handed over. It was a thin piece of paper, but it was densely packed with tiny characters, all of which were names of people.

"I found this piece of paper accidentally on a scroll that my father loved. I didn't recognize any of the list listed above, and I didn't see my father had any contact with any of them. However, Xiaosheng guessed that the death of his father , perhaps related to this list, or even one of the people on this list.

Before his death, his father left a last wish, not to ask for forgiveness, but to ask for atonement.It is hoped that this list can help adults solve the mystery of the last words left by their father as soon as possible, and save the people of the world from fire and water.In this way, if the father knows it underground, he will definitely have no regrets under Jiuquan. "

Zhu Hongzhen did not indicate on the note what kind of list it was, but Xie Jinbai relied on his intuition to keenly perceive that this list might be the key to unraveling various mysteries surrounding Fufeng County.

He properly put away the list, stood up and cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you, Young Master Zhu."

Zhu Yanpeng hurriedly returned the gift, "I dare not do it."

"In this way, I won't bother you any more."

"Young Master Zhu, wait a minute."

Zhu Yanpeng looked puzzled.

Xie Jinbai got up, went to the desk, and found the painting that was picked up from Zhao Xiaorui's attic that day.

"This painting was obtained by accident in this county. I have been busy with official business these days, and I have been forgetting to order someone to send it to the mansion. Now that Mr. Zhu is here, Mr. Zhu should bring it back and return it to the original owner."

"My lord, did you misunderstand? I'm not good at doing..."

When Zhu Yanpeng saw clearly the painting that Xie Jinbai handed over, he immediately opened his eyes wide.

His lips trembled, and he raised his eyes to look at Xie Jinbai in disbelief, "This painting, yes, is made by Brother Zhao, so..."

"This painting was the night when I sneaked into the attic where Zhao Xiaorui lived and found this painting on the title page of his book. I think your father and Zhao Qingsong must have already sensed his feelings for you, so I came to see you If you behave intimately, you will mistakenly think that the two of you are already in love with each other."

Only then will a big mistake be made under the misunderstanding of the heart.

"But, why, how could it be? Obviously, he told me himself that he has a girl whom he has admired for many years, and he also told me that the reason why he works hard day and night is to marry that girl someday..."

That's why he is willing to be his classmate and confidant silently.

Falling in love with a person with a disparity in status and much better than himself, Tang Xiaotang can somewhat understand the mind of that sensitive young man, "It's a lie, I lied to you. He feels that there is a disparity in status between you and him." , and the two of you are both men, he clearly understands how you will be hindered if the two of you are together. So he can only use some harsh words to push you away, but there is no way to stop himself You like it, so I have no choice but to stay by your side in this way. The person he has admired for many years should be you."

That self-abased, weak, but infatuated young man has been silently loving the person he admires in his own way.

It's a pity that even such humble admiration was not allowed by Zhu Hongzhen, and he died because of it.

"The person he admires is, yes, me?"

Zhu Yanpeng's heart throbbed.

"I have thought more than once that it would be fine if the person he admired was me. Then, I would be desperate to take him away from his father. But he told me himself that he has a girl he admires. So I can only , I can only see him being beaten and scolded by his father again and again, but there is nothing I can do... Why am I, why am I so stupid! Obviously, he has never been close to anyone except me, let alone a girl's family. .

I'm so stupid!I'm so stupid! "

Zhu Yanpeng's eyes were red with tears rolling in his sockets.

Zhu Yanpeng never really shed tears.

He was worried that tears would wet the painting of his sweetheart in his hand.

"Thank you, sir, for returning this painting to me."

Afterwards, the young man put away the scroll in his hand carefully, carefully, and lightly.

He bowed his hands to Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang, turned and left.

Perhaps it was because the two had more or less the same experience, which made Tang Xiaotang express, "Zhao Xiaorui is too stupid. There is a huge difference in status and status, so what if they are both men? If you don't fight for it once, how can you know it won't work?"

"Not everyone can be as brave as my Tanger, who has the courage to break the stereotypes of the world."

Tang Xiaotang's cheeks flushed suddenly.

This man's mouth is sweet, but it's really fatal!

The author has something to say: In love, although the brave person is easily hurt, he will not regret it.

Tangtang is really a person with a very strong heart.
