Chapter 229 Found
"What cooperation?" Hang Qi started to play dumb.
Lin Xi looked at Hang Qi with an inquiring look, "You don't remember? Well, then you can stay here for the rest of your life. Anyway, I won't be here forever."
When Hang Qi heard Lin Xi say this, he felt very strange and a little frightened.
"If you are not here, where else can you be?" In Hang Qi's opinion, people like Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan who were exiled would never be able to turn things around.
"I say, if you cooperate with us, you may have the opportunity to return to the capital in the future." Lin Xi tempted.
If there is one thing that Hang Qi is obsessed with in his life, it must be the capital.
Sure enough, when Hang Qi heard Lin Xi's words, he looked at Lin Xi in astonishment, "Do you have a solution?"
Lin Xi smiled mysteriously, "Maybe."
There was no need for her to explain things too clearly to Hang Qi.
"Master Hang, your connection to the capital is broken anyway." After Lin Xi said this, she saw that Hang Qi's face had turned completely black. "Don't worry about how I know this. Anyway, you are now a discarded pawn, and you can only find a way to save yourself."
Even if Lin Xi didn't say these things, Hang Qi knew them clearly.
Then, Lin Xi said, "Cooperate with me and help me conceal the traces. I guarantee that you will get amazing rewards in the future."
Hang Qi was skeptical about Lin Xi's words, "You should have a good rest first."
After saying that, Hang Qi turned and left.
Lin Xi was delighted, as Hang Qi agreed that she could stay here.
At dinner time, Lin Xi did not see Hang Qi. Besides herself, there was only one servant at the table.
After dinner, Lin Xi took a walk in the back garden. The days without anyone to supervise him were so free and unrestrained.
Little did they know that Xiao Yongyan was already going crazy outside.
At first, it was Youlan who discovered that Lin Xi was missing, and quickly asked Aunt Fu and Xiao Chu to look for him.
The group of people were like directionless flies, just wandering around near their homes, and there was no way they could find Lin Xi.
When Xiao Yongyan came back, a group of people were standing at the door crying, which scared him to death, thinking that something had happened to Lin Xi.
Of course, it was indeed Lin Xi who was in trouble, but the direction of the accident was a little different from what he thought.
Youlan tearfully recounted what had happened, and then Xiao Yongyan asked these people to go out with the portrait to inquire, while he himself went to the alley to look for it.
…
Lin Xi lay on the bed. This was the first time she spent the night away from home. She thought she would toss and turn, but she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow and slept soundly until dawn.
It was bright outside and Lin Xi slowly opened his eyes.
It was a very peaceful morning with birds singing outside, which was very pleasant.
Lin Xi stretched, went to the window and washed her face.
Then he walked out of the house and took a walk in the back garden of the government office. Seeing Hang Qi who also got up early, Lin Xi greeted him, "Morning, Lord Hang, is your day off over today?"
Hang Qi glared at Lin Xi. This woman adapted so quickly that she thought the county government was her home.
At this peaceful moment, there was a sudden sound of beating drums outside the yamen to protest against injustice.
Hang Qi was totally confused. What was going on? Wasn't the only person in the county bold enough to beat the drum already here? Where did the one outside come from?
Lin Xi was overjoyed when he heard the voice, "Sir, I never thought that someone would come to you to do something on the first day of work."
Hang Qi didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Xi's teasing and walked to the door angrily.
As for Lin Xi, she wasn't there to look for her, so she naturally went to have breakfast.
At the gate of the county government office.
Hang Qi never expected that the person beating the drum was none other than Xiao Yongyan. Did this couple deliberately make things difficult for him?
In anger, Hang Qi scolded the gatekeeper, "Are you two blind? How can you let anyone beat the drum?"
The two yamen runners were speechless as Xiao Yongyan's movements were too fast. They didn't have time to react before Xiao Yongyan had already struck the drum.
"Xiao Yongyan, you did this on purpose!" Hang Qi said, suppressing his anger.
Xiao Yongyan looked at Hang Qi expressionlessly, "Your Excellency, I want to report to the authorities."
Hang Qi said, "Why report to the authorities? You are not very capable. Can't you solve the problem yourself?"
"This is really impossible," Xiao Yongyan said calmly, "I need your assistance, sir."
Hang Qi narrowed his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"About my wife." Xiao Yongyan said.
When Lin Xi was mentioned, Hang Qi suddenly got a headache.
"Yesterday, my wife sneaked out of the house when no one was paying attention. We spent a whole day looking for her everywhere and finally found out that someone saw my wife entering the gate of the county government office. May I ask, sir, is my wife in the county government office?" Xiao Yongyan asked.
Hang Qi subconsciously wanted to answer yes, but then he thought that there was something strange about this matter.
Lin Xi was obviously in a bad mood when she came here yesterday, probably because there was a conflict between husband and wife. Now Xiao Yongyan came to her house, probably to take his wife back home.
My goodness, why was he, an outsider, forced to get involved in their affairs?
"Xiao Yongyan, I don't know where you got this false information from." Hang Qi said, "Please go back."
He had no interest in helping the two reconcile, and he wasn't doing it out of boredom.
Xiao Yongyan approached Hang Qi, "Is Xi'er really not here with you?"
Although there was still some distance, Hang Qi could clearly feel the fierce aura from Xiao Yongyan.
"I've already told you not to continue pestering me." Hang Qi frowned and shouted at the two people around him, "What are you standing there for? Get them out!"
The stunned bailiffs on both sides then took action, preparing to "invite" Xiao Yongyan out.
However, Xiao Yongyan was already extremely anxious and no longer had the patience to play the game of first being polite and then using force with them.
"Get lost."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hang Qi didn't even know how the other party made the move, he saw the two yamen runners lying on the ground unable to move.
Hang Qi was furious, "Xiao Yongyan, do you know what you are doing?"
But Xiao Yongyan ignored Hang Qi and walked straight into the yamen.
Hang Qi hurriedly followed behind, shouting, "Someone, someone!"
At this moment, even if more people were called, they would not be able to stop Xiao Yongyan.
When Xiao Yongyan saw Lin Xi, she was feeding fish in the pavilion.
Lin Xi took some bait from the kitchen and sprinkled it on the water. The large bait created ripples on the water, and the fish rushed forward to compete for the food.
The yamen raises koi carps, which are so beautiful with their bright colors that make people feel good just by looking at them.
"Xi'er, you really made it hard for me to find you."
A voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xi's ears. She was not surprised at all. From the moment she walked out of the house, she knew that no matter how far she ran, she would be found by Xiao Yongyan sooner or later.
Xiao Yongyan walked over to Lin Xi and sat down, "Xi'er, can we go home?"
