adults don't take the bait

Xu Shiyan would like to thank those assassins this time, otherwise she would not have thought of some useful clues.Perhaps at a moment of crisis the memory will revive.

But his leg was injured and it was inconvenient to move, so Xu Shiyan called Xuanwu and Xuanyang, and asked them to go to Xu's mansion again when the night was quiet.

That account book was hidden in Xu's mansion, but no one found it.

After listening to Xu Shiyan's instructions, Xuanwu and Xuanyang set off at night, and just in case, they sent people to make arrangements around them.

Xu Shiyan remembered that he raised a puppy when he was young, and that puppy was very cute. Xu Shiyan named it Xiaoxue.Xiaoxue was snow-white all over and was Xu Shiyan's good playmate when he was a child.

But Xiaoxue died in the end, and was killed by the bad guys in order to protect Xu Shiyan loyally.

That day, Xu Shiyan was held hostage by someone to threaten Xu's father. Xu Shiyan didn't want his father to be embarrassed, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness and wanted to escape, but was caught by the man and stabbed in the abdomen.Seeing that the second knife was about to fall, Xiaoxue appeared, biting the man's leg fiercely with its small body.

The man kicked Xiaoxue aside with a painful kick, and it was at this time that Xu Shiyan was rescued.

But Xiaoxue was on the verge of death because of the severe injury from that foot, but it still persisted, and the loyal puppy closed its eyes forever when Xu Shiyan woke up.

Xu Shiyan watched Xu's father bury it under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with his own eyes, and there seemed to be something else besides Xiaoxue.

Later, Xu Shiyan fell ill, and after he recovered, Xu Shiyan seemed to have forgotten what happened that day and also forgot that he had raised a puppy.

After yesterday's commotion, Xu Shiyan remembered it all.

That loyal pet dog and that account book that Fan Jian was afraid of.

Xuanwu and Xuanyang returned to Xu's mansion according to Xu Shiyan's arrangement, and they found the sweet-scented osmanthus tree that Xu Shiyan had mentioned by the pond in the backyard.

Xu's mansion has been uninhabited for a long time, and all the flowers and plants in the mansion have long since died, only this hanging flower tree is still blooming luxuriantly.

Xuanwu took out the small shovel that he had prepared earlier and began to dig the soil under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. After digging about half a meter, he found some small things, which seemed to be the remains of small animals.

"It's here." Xuanwu said to Xuanyang.

The two began to dig the soil with their hands, and after a while they found a small wooden box.

Seeing this item, Xuanwu and Xuanyang couldn't help showing surprise, the thing that adults want is here.

The two took out the wooden box, put the carcass of the small animal back into the pit and buried it with soil, because Xu Shiyan ordered it.

Once the things were in hand, the task was over, and the two of them took the wooden box back to the inn and handed it over to Xu Shiyan.

At this time, Xu Shiyan was lying on the bed in the inn. Xu Shiyan was ordered by Zhao Xin not to get out of bed because of his foot injury.Xiao Huier stood by the bed and stared at Xu Shiyan.

"Mother, what's wrong with Daddy?" Xiao Hui'er was curious. Daddy was fine in the morning.

Zhao Xin touched Xiao Hui'er's small head and said to her with a smile, "Daddy went out to play and wrestle without telling us in the afternoon."

After speaking, he glanced at Xu, who was the only son having fun in the afternoon.

Xu Shiyan's heart "thumped" and he smiled apologetically at Zhao Xin.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xin ignored her and turned her head to the other side. Xu Shiyan knew that Xin'er was still angry.

"Father is naughty, he doesn't take me and mother with me." Xiao Huier knew that Xu Shiyan really left her and mother to go out after hearing what Zhao Xin said.

Xu Shiyan was disgusted by the two of them now, so he had no choice but to say, "Hui'er is good, Daddy didn't mean to leave you and mother behind, Daddy just wanted to go and see what's interesting here, so I can stay with Xiaohui'er when I come back." Go with mother."

Xiao Hui'er simply believed Xu Shiyan's words, and her father was still a good father.

"When shall we go, Daddy?" Xiao Huier asked.

Xu Shiyan frowned, "But Daddy's leg is injured and he can't go there for now." Xu Shiyan pointed to his injured leg, which was still wrapped in bandages.

Xiao Hui'er looked at the bandaged leg with a sad face, "Does Daddy hurt?"

Seeing her like this, Xu Shiyan sighed in his heart that this girl didn't hurt in vain, she is really good and caring about others.

"Does it hurt?" Xu Shiyan showed a pitiful look.

"Hui'er will blow it to you and it won't hurt anymore." After speaking, she really climbed onto the bed and carefully blown on Xu Shiyan's wound.

Xu Shiyan couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Xin who was on the side also thought that Xiao Huier was cute and well-behaved, and complained that Xu Shiyan always deceived his daughter like this.

Seeing Zhao Xin's floating eyes, Xu Shiyan shrugged helplessly.

"Okay Hui'er, your father deserves it." After speaking, he hugged Xiao Hui'er in his arms.

Xiao Hui'er looked at Zhao Xin suspiciously, "Is Daddy not in pain anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you Xiao Huier." Xu Shiyan smiled and pinched her little face.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of Xu Shiyan's room, "My lord, it's us."

Xu Shiyan knew that Xuanwu and Xuanyang had returned, so he must have got the account book.

Zhao Xin and Xu Shiyan glanced at each other clearly.Put Xiao Hui'er on the side of the bed and let her sit obediently, then got up to open the door.

"Country Lord"

"Okay, come in first." Zhao Xin let the two of them enter the room.

Xu Shiyan couldn't move and still sat on the bed, but her eyes were fixed on the small wooden box in Xuanyang's hand from the beginning.

"My lord, this is what was dug up." Xuanyang handed the wooden box to Xu Shiyan.

Xu Shiyan looked at the wooden box and smiled, "It's well done, has anyone noticed it?" Xu Shiyan couldn't guarantee whether there was anyone in the Xu Mansion hiding in secret to observe.

"Don't worry, my lord, no one has noticed." Xuan Yang said.

Xu Shiyan nodded, "You guys are also tired today, go back to your room to rest, and prepare to return to Beijing tomorrow."

"But, your injury."

"It's nothing serious, just do as I say." It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, it's better to return to Beijing as soon as possible to discuss the next plan with Han Shangzhi.

Xuanwu and Xuanyang left the room.

Zhao Xin hugged Hui'er and sat by the bed. She heard what Xu Shiyan said to them, but she didn't express any opinion. Xu Shiyan was right to leave Zhaozhou earlier.

Her gaze shifted to the wooden box in Xu Shiyan's hand. Is this what Xu Shiyan was looking for even without his life?

"Daddy, what is this box? Is it fun?" Xiao Huier was also curious.

Xu Shiyan smiled, "This is not for fun, but it is very important." After speaking, he opened the wooden box, and the account book was indeed here.

"Is this what you're looking for?" Zhao Xin asked.

"Yes, this is something that can check and balance Fan Jian." Xu Shiyan said.

"An account book is the evidence of Fan Jian's embezzlement." Zhao Xin took the account book from Xu Shiyan and flipped through it. There were many things densely written in it.

"It seems that Fan Jian is not the only one involved this time." Looking at the account book, Zhao Xin felt sorry for the common people. It is true that the common people have always been the prey of the officials.

It's fine if they don't make decisions for the people, and they don't even let go of these life-saving money. It's really abominable, and it's not too much.

Maybe it's because of Xu Shiyan's memory. If Zhao Xin disappeared in the past, she wouldn't think so. At that time, their Qingyou Palace was still working for these beasts.

Xu Shiyan closed his eyes and sighed helplessly, "Corruption is only prevalent in the court and it is also the tragedy of our dynasty. Even if the emperor has his heart, the involvement is really too big, and the involvement is so wide that the emperor may not be able to handle it."

"It didn't happen overnight. There was no such thing in any dynasty. It's just that these people are really abominable for taking money from the people to save their lives."

The smile on Xu Shiyan's mouth was very bitter.

"Now that the account book is in hand, Shiyan has thought about what to do?" Zhao Xin asked.

Xu Shiyan shook his head, "Let's go back to Beijing first, there must be Fan Jian's eyeliner in Zhaozhou, and we will make plans after returning to the capital. As for how to do it, I have to discuss it with Han Shangzhi."

Zhao Xin nodded in agreement.

The next day, Xu Shiyan and his party were preparing to return to Beijing. Xu Shiyan couldn't walk because of his leg injury, so Zhao Xin took care of her.

In order to prevent accidents on the way back to Beijing, Xuanwu and Xuanyang took precautions.

Fortunately, on the way back to Beijing, nothing happened that Xu Shiyan expected. This is good, but it feels not quite right.

If Fan Jian knew that the account book was in his hands, wouldn't he take any action, and there was no news from Han Shangzhi on the other side.

Is Fan Jian plotting some kind of conspiracy by holding back his troops like this?

This made Xu Shiyan very puzzled. According to Fan Jian's temperament, he would never let it go.

"Shiyan frowned all day long because he felt something was wrong?"

Xu Shiyan shook his head, "It's been a peaceful journey, but the more peaceful it is, the more I feel something is wrong. I can return to the capital at noon tomorrow. Isn't he afraid that something will happen?"

"Shi Yan means that he wants to be assassinated again?" Zhao Xin said amusedly.

"That's not what it means. It's good to be able to return to Beijing smoothly, but there is no guarantee that there will be some conspiracy waiting for us after we go back." Xu Shiyan said.

"Shiyan's worries are not unreasonable, and we will not know all this until we return to Beijing."

Xu Shiyan nodded understandingly.She looked at Zhao Xin "Xin'er"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xin raised her head and looked at Xu Shiyan. Xu Shiyan's eyes were so piercing that she wanted to see through her. "What kind of eyes are you?" Zhao Xin asked with a smile.

Xu Shiyan reached out and took Zhao Xin's left hand, holding it tightly.

Zhao Xin could feel the warmth from Xu Shiyan's hands. For some reason, Xu Shiyan's hands were so warm every day for 365 days.There is often a saying by Xu Shiyan that the heart is warm and the hands are naturally warm.

Could it be that my heart is cold, Zhao Xin retorted speechlessly.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Xin asked curiously while being held firmly by Xu Shiyan.

Xu Shiyan just smiled lightly and said, "Xin'er, it's great to have you by my side." His voice was always gentle but true, and his eyes showed all kinds of love for Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin blushed when she saw her like this, and now that Hui'er is still by her side, this person is not afraid of spoiling the child by saying such things.

Sure enough, Xiao Hui'er saw the loving interaction between her parents and covered her eyes tightly with her small hands. The nanny said that she should not peek and disturb her parents' intimacy.

Xiao Huier was very obedient, but this action made Zhao Xin even more embarrassed.

Xu Shiyan really felt that it didn't matter, so he drew Zhao Xin closer.At first Zhao Xin was still struggling, but Xu Shiyan's strength did not decrease by a single point of intransigence. Zhao Xin knew martial arts and Xu Shiyan's strength was her opponent.

But Zhao Xin was afraid that Xu Shiyan would drag the wound on her leg too hard, so she had no choice but to let her go.

Xiao Hui'er kept covering her eyes so as not to peek, but the more this happened, the more embarrassed Zhao Xin felt. If it was before, she would have hooked Xu Shiyan's neck and let her do whatever she wanted, but now her daughter is here.

Xu Shiyan smiled and pulled Zhao Xin to the front, "Don't worry, Huier is very obedient."

Before Zhao Xin answered, she put her lips on her. Zhao Xin glanced at Huier from the corner of her eye and saw that she was still covering her eyes and thinking about it. Let Xu Shiyan, the two concentrated on kissing each other but didn't notice that the little hand in the carriage was open at this time. A gap opened.
