Dressed as a villain, I was coveted by the male protagonist

After several days of scouring by the river, the road was muddy, and if you stepped on it, you would sink into the yellow mud. The white hem of the clothes was already horribly dirty.

Su Jingning walked with difficulty, staggered and rushed forward, but fortunately Xiao Jiu Gu grabbed him in time, otherwise he would have come into contact with Huang Ni face to face.

Xiao Jiu Gu Yi hugged Su Jingning up forcefully, so scared that he put his arms around his neck, and exclaimed, "Put me down quickly, I can walk by myself."

Xiao Jiugu turned Su Jingning upside down, frightening his neck tighter and tighter, Xiao Jiugu's voice was full of jokes: "At the speed of the young master, we might not be able to get there even after dark." Shiba."

Hearing that Su Jingning is no longer resisting, but there are many ways to hug and hug. Why did he choose the princess hug? No matter how bad he is, he can do it. As a man, he also wants to save face, okay?

Difficult to come to the stone dam, stand on the top of the stone dam and look down, can not help but sigh the wisdom of the ancients, this stone dam is very tall, the stone dam is made of thick waterproof wood and huge stones.

The wood tied the stones, filled the crevices with small stones and fine sand, and erected a high wall, which was very hard and firm. Now the stones and wood in the middle have been washed away, leaving only the wreckage on both sides.

Su Jingning stared at the wreckage on both sides and pondered. If the flood was caused by the old and weak stone dam, then when the water rushed down, the entire stone dam should have been washed away, why only the middle part was washed away.

"Sir, look."

Xiao Jiugu pointed to a wreckage of the stone dam. The fracture of the piece of wood was flat. It was obvious that the flood was not a natural disaster, but a well-planned conspiracy.

Su Jingning's expression was serious: "It seems that our guess is right. This disaster is indeed man-made. These things are inseparably related to the county magistrate, but we have no evidence. Why did he do this?"

Xiao Jiu thought for a while, and said after a while: "As long as he has done anything in the world, there will be evidence left behind. No one can cover up the fact that he has done it without anyone noticing it."

"My lord, I'll go to the other courtyard of the county magistrate's mansion tonight to see if I can find any clues."

Su Jingning nodded, "Okay."

When he was about to leave, Su Jingning suddenly stepped on a foreign object, bent down to pick it up, and found that it was actually a jade bracelet, with excellent color and smooth surface, it should be caused by being touched frequently.

"There is such a precious thing in this kind of place, it is very likely that the person who broke the stone dam accidentally left it behind. The surface is so smooth that it must be a precious thing."

Xiao Jiu raised the corners of his mouth: "My lord, isn't the evidence here? Since it is a precious thing, if it is missing, I will definitely come back and look for it. When the time comes, we will sit on the sidelines..."

Su Jingning smiled approvingly: "Okay, find someone to guard here."

The two returned to the inn exhausted. Xiao Jiugu realized something was wrong as soon as he stepped through the threshold. The usually lively and noisy inn was completely silent now.

A man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome appearance walked towards him quickly, stopped in front of Xiao Jiugu and saluted, "King An condescends to come here, and I'm sorry to welcome you."

Su Jingning raised his eyebrows, it seems that he has admitted the wrong person, then this matter is easy to handle, but Xiao Jiugu's temperament is indeed more like a prince than him, he will be a king in the future, I can only say that the county magistrate is quite discerning.

He quietly tugged at the corner of Xiao Jiugu's clothes, Xiao Jiugu immediately understood what he meant, and said coldly: "Get up."

"His Royal Highness An, the surname of the junior official is Huang Ming Xing. This place is too simple and unsuitable to stay. Please, Your Highness, please settle in the county magistrate's mansion." He spoke in a calm and gentle voice, without any mistakes.

Xiao Jiu pursed his lips, and said with a half-smile, "Lead the way."

Entering the county magistrate's mansion is not as luxurious as imagined. It is the same as a normal mansion, with green bricks and green tiles, a courtyard garden, but the mansion is a little bigger.

When passing by the garden, County Magistrate Huang suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Your Highness, the officer still has some matters to deal with, so I will leave first. This is Steward Lin, what can Your Highness tell him?"

County magistrate Huang beckoned over to a burly man, who didn't look like a manager in appearance, but looked like a nurse.

Steward Lin took them to a courtyard in a business-like manner, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, rest here for a while, the master will entertain you with a banquet tonight." After finishing speaking, he closed the door and left.

Su Jingning took off the curtain: "I didn't expect that Huang County Magistrate is actually a man in his 20s, and the rumors are so fast. We only arrived for a day, and they came here."

"Your Highness, this county magistrate Huang is by no means an ordinary person. He has calluses on his hands and walks briskly. He should have practiced martial arts, and his martial arts are definitely not low. He speaks impeccably and has deep scheming." Xiao Jiugu said in a low voice with a stern expression. .

"With such a scheming person, it's no wonder that Su Yuheng, a big fool who was fooled by others, handed over the money to others, and he couldn't find a trace of fault."

A pigeon flew into the window, Xiao Jiu was about to get rid of it, but was stopped by Su Jingning, the pigeon landed on his white and slender hand, Su Jingning took out the note hanging on the pigeon's foot.

"Your Highness is light. As His Highness expected, the convoy was attacked within a hundred miles out of the city. After their identities were revealed, the gangsters retreated. The convoy was unharmed. Chang Chuan rushed to join His Highness now."

Su Jingning put away the note and destroyed it, frowning, this time the enemy is more difficult than we imagined, Chang Chuan was attacked only a hundred miles out of the city, so eager to start, it seems that they are very anxious, because they are afraid What?

"Your Highness, the reason they brought us back to the mansion in such a hurry is to put us under his watchful eyes and prevent us from finding anything that is not good for them. I will investigate secretly tonight."

Su Jingning nodded: "I'm afraid it will be a Hongmen banquet tonight, so proceed with caution."

The courtyard hall was brightly lit, singing and dancing were peaceful, golden cups and silver cups filled with fine wines, Xiao Jiugu and Su Jingning sat at the table one after another.

County Magistrate Huang raised his glass and said, "Your Highness, I respect you." He drank it all in one gulp.

King An was ordered to come to rescue the disaster. Everyone in Changling knew that County Magistrate Huang was a smart man, and he was not stupid enough to poison him. Xiao Jiugu also took up his wine glass and drank it all.

"His Royal Highness King An, what's your name for the person next to you? Why is he wearing a curtain?"

Xiao Jiu's eyes seemed a little blurred, and he put his arms around Su Jingning: "This is my attendant, his appearance is not something everyone can see."

Su Jingning was a little amazed. From the outside world, the third prince of Nanjing had a notorious reputation as a dandy. Xiao Jiugu's acting skills were really good.

But this hand kept groping around his waist, Su Jingning's eyes were flushed with anger, feeling his waist was numb, he stretched out his hand and twisted Xiao Jiugu's arm.

Xiao Jiu let out a "hiss." and said with a chuckle, "Ah Xiao has a really big temper, but I like it."

Su Jingning's head was full of black lines, and she called her own name, flirting so smoothly, those who make big things don't care about small things, admiration.

County magistrate Huang twitched the corner of his mouth without leaving any traces. He had heard that Wang An was arrogant and extravagant, but he didn't expect that he would play around so much that he always brought a male pet with him when he came out to do errands.

"I heard that King An came to relieve the disaster, but didn't His Royal Highness Yi come here a few days ago? Why..."

Xiao Jiugu took Su Jingning Baiyu's hand, touched each of his fingertips, and replied casually: "Father sent me to take a look at the disaster relief situation. And refugees."

County Magistrate Huang cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness doesn't know that there are too many people affected by the disaster in Qingyang. In order to be orderly, the disaster relief method arranged by the lower officials is divided into two parts."

"First resettle the people in the city, and then the people outside the city. In the past two days, we are ready to attack the people outside the city."

Xiao Jiu took his jade hand and kissed it. Su Jingning's complexion was extremely pale. He suppressed his anger and thought to himself that this was acting, hold back, hold back.

Xiao Jiu curled his lips slightly, although he liked to let him tease the well-behaved Highness, but he also knew that he should not play too much, otherwise His Highness would be angry, and reluctantly let go of his white and tender hands.

"In that case, anyway, I have nothing to do. I will follow tomorrow. By the way, where is the relief money? This king wants to see."
