Jia Wensheng got out of the sedan chair and looked around, but did not let the people kneeling on the ground stand up!
With a gloomy face, he quickly walked to the bottom of the stairs, knelt down and saluted:
"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Envoy! The people in the market are causing trouble because I failed to discipline them properly. Please forgive me, Your Excellency!"
He Wenqin looked at Jia Wensheng and said, "Master Jia, there's no need to blame yourself. I'll investigate this matter thoroughly before judging the crime!"
Jia Wensheng quickly responded: "This is natural, this is natural!
However, the imperial envoy has just arrived in Xuzhou and is busy with official duties, so can you leave this matter to me?"
After he finished speaking, he looked around but didn't see anything unusual.
For some reason, he always felt like someone was watching him, which made him feel uneasy.
Si Jinxing was sitting in the carriage and had already lowered the curtains.
She let Bai Xi in, whispered a few instructions, and then asked Gu Anxu to drive the carriage back.
When they passed by Baifulou on Shunchang Street, they asked Qingchan to go down and book a room in the name of Jinning, and then rushed to the house where they were temporarily staying.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw a small figure running towards them!
This little figure was none other than the baby who was rescued from the carriage a few days ago.
He has a chubby little body and walks unsteadily, but when he runs he is like a little duck, swaying from side to side. He is so adorable!
He ran clumsily while calling in a baby voice: "Sister, hold me!"
Si Jinxing pulled Qingchan down and squatted down, opened her arms, and said, "Little darling, which sister do you want to hold you?"
The little fat kid opened his big, round eyes, looked at this and that, and finally threw himself into Qingchan's arms.
Zi Su, who was following behind, smiled and said:
"This little kid has been clamoring to find Sister Qingchan since he woke up this morning. He barely ate a bite of lunch. I guess he finally got you back!"
Qing Chan picked up the fat kid, patted his little butt, and said:
"In a couple of days, quickly send someone to find out about his parents. I wonder how this kid was raised to be so strong!"
The little fat kid leaned his head on Qingchan's shoulder, blinked his big eyes, and continued:
"Eat meat, eat...vegetables, and grow taller!"
Si Jinxing's heart melted when she heard the child's sweet voice. She wondered how worried the child's parents must be!
She turned to Bai Xi who had just followed her back and said:
"Can you send someone to investigate? Whose child is missing in Xuzhou?"
Bai Xi, who had just entered the room, had no time to catch his breath before he glanced at the "strong man" in Qing Chan's arms, nodded at his princess, and turned and left.
Song Xiner came out, glanced at Gu Anxu, and whispered:
"Miss, regarding Zheng Kui and Li, I would like to ask if it is possible for them to return to Tongshan County first?"
Si Jinxing nodded and said:
"I've been so busy that I've forgotten about this. You and Zisu should arrange for them to go back and give them some silver and food for the journey.
You still have to wait a little longer. After two or three days, when you are done here, you can set off for Tongshan County."
Song Xiner nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Zi Su and Song Xiner left together. Gu Anxu had been away from home for most of the day and also said goodbye and left.
Qing Chan held the fat kid in his arms and felt his arms were a little sore. It was even more tiring than practicing martial arts!
She changed her arms and thought about what happened on Shunxing Street. She couldn't help asking:
"I heard from the people that Master Fu Tong didn't go to the City God Temple today. Princess, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing couldn't help but frown and think, then said:
"Such a big thing happened today, and the people are all pleading for him. Fu Tong has always cared about the people, but he hasn't shown up yet. It's really strange!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the fat boy in Qingchan's arms suddenly burst into giggles.
She stopped and turned around to see the little fat boy stuffing his chubby little fist into his mouth!
The drool was dripping down to the chin!
Si Jinxing pulled out a napkin, wiped the kid's saliva, pinched his chubby little face and said with a smile:
"What kind of funny joke did you hear, little guy? You're laughing like that!"
The little kid naturally couldn't answer, but just pounced towards Si Jinxing!
Seeing this, Si Jinxing caught the fat boy and said with a smile:
"This kid, do you like me again? You know what, this feel, this weight, it's so comfortable to hold, ouch..."
She likes children, especially those under five years old, because they are new and fragrant, soft and cute, and well-behaved and obedient!
Just like this little fat baby, when his chubby little body leans on you with unconditional trust, that feeling of being needed will really make girls lose themselves and can't help but want to be nice to him!
When Bai Xi returned, he saw his princess holding the chubby little boy tightly in her arms, as if she was afraid he would run away...
He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "You're going to strangle me to death!"
But then again, does this mean that... their palace will soon have a young master?
Si Jinxing had no idea that Bai Xi, who was standing aside, had already thought so far.
She played with the little fat kid for a while, then took out a cheese stick from the third floor of Xinglin Yaxu and handed it to him before letting Zisu take him away.
I have to say, taking care of children is really a physical job!
She rubbed her sore shoulders, looked at Bai Xi, and said:
"Have you made all the arrangements at the post station? Keep an eye on those imperial physicians!"
Bai Xi took two steps forward and said:
"We have already arranged for personnel to closely monitor the posthouse, and those imperial physicians have also been kept under observation. Princess, please rest assured."
Si Jinxing looked at the pots of autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom in the yard, and thought of the pot of chrysanthemums under the window of the Jia Mansion last night. She wondered if Jia Wensheng had discovered anything.
Speaking of Jia Wensheng, he was now entering the prefectural yamen with a few assassins who looked like ordinary people.
Master Huang waved his hand and ordered his men to put those assassins in jail!
He looked at Jia Wensheng, who had been pacing with his hands behind his back, and whispered, "Sir, these people cannot be kept."
Jia Wensheng then stopped and said, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have asked He Wenqin for them!
But... before, I thought that He Wenqin was a soft persimmon, and killing him would be as easy as killing an ant!
But now... He Wenqin is actually protected by experts, and these eight people are no match for him!
We have already entered Xuzhou. After today's failure, those people have become alert. It may not be so easy to assassinate us again!
I think in the next two days, He Wenqin will start investigating the official warehouse and account books of Xuzhou Prefecture!
How despicable! Why didn't we kill him in Yunyang County before? "
Master Huang pondered for a moment, then opened his triangular eyes and smiled faintly:
"Sir, are you confused?
Did you forget that He Wenqin has one of our people by his side? "
