Chu Xi had a lot to say to Chu Min, but some things were hard to let too many people know, so she didn't say much in front of Xu.He just retrieved the earrings he had left behind, and then left, taking one more look at Chu Min before leaving.

As soon as Chu Min looked at Chu Xi's eyes, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart—the brother and sister have a good relationship, and they can understand each other's meaning with just one eye contact.The look in Chu Xi's eyes before he left clearly indicated that he was waiting for him outside, telling him to go out whenever he had a chance.It seems that my younger sister has heard all the words I said to Mrs. Xu, but I wonder how much my younger sister can guess from those few words with her intelligence?

Thinking of this, Chu Min wanted to sigh even more, but he couldn't hide from the situation.He secretly clutched the jade pendant he had just brought back from Mrs. Xu, found an excuse to inform Mrs. Xu, and went out anyway.

Sure enough, Chu Xi didn't go far at all, and was still waiting for him in the courtyard, only turning to go out when he came out.

Chu Min touched his nose and followed.

The two brothers and sisters left the main courtyard one after the other, walked through the corridor and through the garden until they reached the waterside pavilion facing the water on three sides, and then sent Yudong to guard outside the waterside pavilion. place.

Chu Xi turned around and looked at Chu Min, and first apologized: "Brother, I was the one who was rude just now. I listened and watched for a while outside the door, and please don't blame me, brother." After speaking, he changed the subject and immediately cut to the point: " But brother, I just saw that you are holding my jade pendant, I gave it to Wen Fei before, why is it in your hands now?"

When Chu Min heard her say that the more he listened and the more he saw, he knew that he couldn't hide anything, so he had no choice but to take out the jade pendant.He spread his palms open, and a warm jade in his white palms glowed warmly under the sunlight.

Chu Xi looked at this all-too-familiar jade pendant, her heart felt inexplicably heavy, and she paused for a moment before she reached out to take it - the jade pendant was beautifully carved, polished and rounded, and at a glance, there was no trace of the blood that Xu said.But after holding it for a while, Chu Xi's fingertips were also stained with a dark color. She twisted and sniffed, and it was indeed dried blood, but it turned out that the traces were left by the rope on the jade pendant.

Chu Min saw her movements and knew that he couldn't hide anything, so he said, "Little sister, Wen Fei didn't give me this jade pendant, nor did I ask her to come back, it was a few days ago Someone brought it to your door."

Chu Xi had unconsciously pursed her lips tightly. Hearing this, she raised her eyes, and her usually clear eyes seemed to be stained with a dark color today.

Chu Min met her gaze and felt a little guilty for some reason, but finally bit the bullet and said, "It's from Rongcheng. He said he knew you and Wen Fei. He picked up this jade pendant by chance and gave it to me." Here it is." After a pause, he said again: "I guess something may have happened to Wen Fei, and now he has sent his subordinates to lead people to look for it, but it has been so long since the news came and went, I'm afraid it is, I am afraid it is..."

Chu Xi didn't bother to guess who sent the jade pendant back, because she heard Chu Min's unfinished words, and immediately held the jade pendant's hand tightly: "Brother, tell me the truth, do you know who is right? Did Wen Fei make a move?" After asking, without waiting for Chu Min to answer, he said to himself, "Is it because the embankment embezzlement incident was exposed, and the people involved wanted to kill Wen Fei?!"

Regardless of whether the Chu family is willing to marry their daughter to Wen Fei, in fact Wen Fei was made a marquis and a general at a young age, and it is no exaggeration to say that Jane is in the heart of the emperor.Coupled with her status as a foreign relative, there are still two big mountains behind Qi Taiwei and Qi Empress, so no one dares to touch her easily.

Of course, with her own abilities, it would be difficult for others to touch her.

But something happened to Wen Fei. It was in Rongcheng, the city closest to Jiangzhou, and not long after she left Jiangzhou... This is something that people can't help but think about.

Chu Min's eyes widened in surprise, and then he looked around nervously.After confirming that no one around the water pavilion could hear their conversation, and even Yudong who was the closest was ten steps away, his tense nerves relaxed a little.Then he had a rare serious expression, and asked Chu Xi with a frown: "How did my little sister know about the river embankment? Could it be that Wen Fei even told you this?!"

He frowned after speaking, showing a little disapproval, obviously displeased that Wen Fei involved Chu Xi.

Chu Xi was not affected by him, her expression was still calm, but what she said was like a bomb that made people dizzy: "It's not that she told me this, but the evidence that I helped her find Jiangdi's greed for ink."

After hearing this, Chu Min felt his eyes go dark, and hurriedly asked, "Then besides Wen Fei, does anyone else know about this?"

But Chu Xi didn't return to him, and looked at him with dark eyes. Not talking was more worrying than talking.

Seeing this, Chu Min took a deep breath, suppressed his horror, and said sternly: "No matter what, this matter must not be known to outsiders." After speaking, he persuaded earnestly: "Little sister, you don't know something, this matter is deeply involved. Guang, it's not a good thing to get involved. Otherwise, if you look at Wen Fei, someone would dare to attack her because of her official position, so you should know how deep the water is behind it."

After hearing this, Chu Xi asked him, "Even the Chu family can't protect me?"

Chu Min hesitated: "Well, that's not true."

Chu Xi had a general idea in her mind, and when she spoke again, she hit the nail on the head: "Even the general dares to attack, I'm afraid the entire Jiangnan officialdom will be involved?" After she finished speaking, she looked at Chu Min who was stunned, and said: " Is brother involved in it?"

Chu Min didn't expect Chu Xi's guess to be so bold, and his guess was accurate: "How do you know?"

Chu Xi had guessed it a long time ago. If the entire Jiangnan officialdom hadn't been working together, how could the tofu-like embankment stretch for thousands of miles?Moreover, she guessed that the officials sent by Chang'an to relieve the disaster also had problems. Otherwise, in this sensitive season, no matter how bold these people in Jiangnan would be, they would not dare to do anything to Wen Fei at this time...Of course, there is another reason for Chu Xi to think so, and that is this For half a month, there has been no turmoil in Jiangzhou's officialdom.

You know, before Wen Fei left, he handed over to someone from Chang'an.And this handover was not only about disaster relief, but also handed over all the problems and evidence she found on the river embankment.If the other party really wanted to take care of it, they should have fallen out by now.

Chu Xi didn't explain too much, but asked again stubbornly: "Brother, is it involved?"

Hearing her questioning, Chu Min became annoyed: "How could you get involved with me? Not to mention that I hadn't come to Jiangzhou to work in Jiangzhou when the embankment was built, and my vision was not so narrow. I dared to intervene in anything, and dared to be greedy for anything." Denied After a pause, he still confessed to Chu Xi: "No one in our family is involved in this matter, but there are a few greedy disciples who have accepted it, and it seems that they have been involved."

After hearing this, Chu Xi felt relieved, and then raised her eyes and said in a calm tone: "That's all broken." After saying this lightly, she said again: "Nowadays, the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is muddy, but with your majesty's means, you will not let it go. Still There is one thing that my brother may not know. When the city gate was closed again, some of Wen Fei's men were collecting evidence outside the city. They failed to return to the city in time, so Wen Fei let them go back to Chang'an to report the news. After all, the day should have come. "

Chu Min really didn't know this, and he gasped when he heard the words, no wonder he always felt that there were fewer personal guards around Wen Fei when he left.But immediately he thought of the interception and killing of Wen Fei by the Jiangnan officialdom, and now thinking about silence is of no avail.

And just when Chu Min was dizzy from the amount of information, Chu Xi said again: "Brother, although you were not there when the embankment was built, you are also to blame for the flood now. It will be implicated in the future, how about Make a decision early..."

Chu Min is not stupid after all, he immediately heard what Chu Xi meant, and then he couldn't help but gasp——Isn't his little sister retaliation?Just because those people moved Wen Fei, she urged herself to pull out the bottom line and stab her in the back!

Although, given the current situation, what she said made sense.

After a moment of silence, Chu Min said with a tangled face, "I'm afraid I can't make up my mind on this matter. I have to write to my grandfather."

Chu Xi saw that he was a little moved, his eyebrows stretched slightly, and he stopped trying to persuade him, but said: "Changzhou is far away, and it takes a long time to go back and forth. Brother, think about it yourself, it can't be better than Chang'an. Responses are slower."

Hearing this, Chu Min thought of the personal guards that Wen Fei sent back to report the news. He had no doubt that those people could see Taiwei Qi, and then use Taiwei Qi's hand to let the matter go straight to heaven... He is an official, but he also knows that the world is the most vigorous and resolute. After learning about Jiangnan's corruption, I am afraid that he will send someone to investigate immediately. There is really no time for him to hesitate.

Having no choice but to straighten the corners of his lips, Chu Min said, "Then let me think about it for a day."

Chu Xi didn't urge her, after doing all this, she finally felt a little relieved.But after thinking about it, she thought of Wen Fei, who is now dead or alive. She couldn't help but tighten her hand holding Nuanyu, and the topic changed: "Brother said, someone sent this jade pendant, I can see it." That person?"

Chu Min was already preoccupied with business. At this time, when he heard that Chu Xi wanted to see the person who came to give the jade, he said without thinking, "He is still at the house. He said he knew you and Wen Fei, so I was thinking of you." Maybe we will see each other last time, so we will leave him behind and place him in the guest house."

Knowing this, Chu Min said it before, but Chu Xi was not thinking about it at the time, so he didn't think much about it.Now that Chu Min mentioned it again, Chu Xi had a second thought and guessed.She lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a while and decided to ask, so she said to Chu Min: "I'll go see that person, brother, you can think about it yourself."

Normally, Chu Min wouldn't worry about Chu Xi going to see the foreigner alone, but right now his head is full of confusion.Plus it's at my own home, so I feel relieved, so I waved my hand and said, "Go, I'll think about it myself here."

Chu Xi left after hearing the words, and went straight to the guest house with Yu Dong.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Chu Xi met an old friend. Although he was the expected candidate, he was inevitably a little dazed.

Li Ling was also very happy to see her, raised his hand and waved at her as a greeting: "Girl, so you are here, I thought something happened to you two when I picked up the jade pendant." After speaking, he walked behind her Zhang Wang: "Where's Brother Wen, didn't you come with you?"

Chu Xigang also thought of the past when he saw Li Ling, and was in a daze for a while. Hearing these words, he suddenly came back to his senses: "I came to ask you, where did you pick up this jade pendant, and what happened at that time? Did you see it?" ……she?"

The author has something to say: Chu Min (teeth sour): My sister, don’t watch her fall out with someone, but she still defends her weaknesses in the end.

Chu Xi (holding the knife): Internal problems are resolved internally, those who want to bully me, no!
