As soon as Si Jinxing heard Qi Moli's letter, she stood up immediately.
But she found that several maids in the room were laughing secretly, and her face suddenly turned red!
Qing Chan handed the letter over and said with a smile, "Princess, please open it and take a look."
Si Jinxing felt her ears burning, and with a wave of her hand, she drove the three girls out!
She sat at the table, carefully opened the envelope, and pulled out a piece of paper.
Before she even read the letter, she felt a slight sense of loss. After not seeing each other for a long time, the man only wrote her a piece of paper?
Si Jinxing opened the letter and saw:
My wife, my star, how are you these days?
She pursed her lips and smiled, feeling that these words were too sweet.
She didn't even notice that the loss she had just felt disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She read it carefully and found that in addition to expressing his longing for her, the letter also talked about three things.
1. The Hanlan cavalry has repeatedly harassed the Longyin border, and the Lan family army has gone to suppress it.
If Han Lan mobilizes a large number of troops, he might move his camp north before the New Year!
2. Zhao Yu and Pei Qingzhu have set off for Xuzhou.
3. There was a fire in the Si family's Lihua Garden. Zhou wanted to escape in the chaos, but was caught by Si Junshan, who broke her legs.
According to investigation, the fire was set by Si Jinheng, the second son of the Si family.
When Si Jinxing saw the last thing, he knew in his heart: Heng'er had calculated this matter accurately!
He had calculated it clearly. He wanted Si Junshan to catch Zhou on the spot. Whether it was punishment, caning or something else, Zhou would not get any benefit.
It's just that kid... he's just a kid after all.
She can just deal with those evil guys by herself, he shouldn't be involved in the darkness of the backyard!
Si Jinxing folded the letter and sighed softly. Well, how could a child living in a large house avoid such a thing?
She walked out of the room and asked:
"I wonder where Lord He is now?"
Bai Xi stepped forward and replied:
"Lord He visited the locals this morning and went to the City God Temple. I think he must have gone to the prefectural government office."
Si Jinxing nodded and said thoughtfully: "Then let's go for a walk on the street."
At this time, in the Jia Mansion, in the study.
Jia Wensheng slammed his palm on the desk and said with a dark expression:
"We did this to ensure no one was left alive, and now, someone has rescued one! Did you get a clear look at the person's appearance?"
Master Huang shook his head and said:
"I didn't dare show my face at the time. I only saw from afar that both of them were seriously injured. Even if they escaped, they wouldn't survive!"
Jia Wensheng said coldly:
"All herbal medicine shops and clinics in Xuzhou will be monitored. Anyone buying medicine for injuries will be detained!"
Master Huang quickly agreed and turned to leave, but soon returned and said:
"Sir, there's a man outside the palace claiming to be from Qingcheng County and a Liu family member. He said he has something important to report to you. Would you like to see him?"
Jia Wensheng was furious. He waved his hands and said, "No Liu, Li, or any other cats or dogs, I won't see you!"
Master Huang thought for a moment, then took a few steps forward and whispered:
"Sir, do you still remember the magistrate of Qingcheng County, Liu Zuhe? You said the man outside the door..."
After Mr. Huang reminded him, Jia Wensheng turned around and looked at him. After a moment, he said, "You mean, it's Liu Zuhe's people?"
Master Huang was not sure either, so he just said, "It might be a good idea to meet him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Wensheng nodded and asked the guards outside to bring the person in.
Not long after, a shifty-looking man appeared in the yard.
He looked around with an air of inexperienced eyes, and the two people in the room saw everything.
Jia Wensheng and Master Huang looked at each other and saw contempt in each other's eyes.
The man entered the study, then he stopped looking around, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "I am Liu Xitang, the humble man, and I pay my respects to you, Your Excellency!"
Seeing that his clothes were tattered and he was missing a hand, Master Huang frowned with a hint of disgust and asked:
"Which Liu family in Qingcheng County are you from? Who are you in the Liu family?"
Liu Xitang quickly replied:
"My uncle is the magistrate of Qingcheng County, Liu Zuhe. He once said that if he encountered any problems, he would come to Xuzhou and find Master Jia."
When Jia Wensheng heard that he was indeed Liu Zuhe's man, he couldn't help but laugh:
"Since you are Mr. Liu's nephew, there is no need to be polite. Stand up and talk quickly!
"By the way, Master Liu, how are you these days? What brings my nephew here to visit you?"
Liu Xitang stood up, thanked Jia Wensheng, and said:
"I came here this time to tell you that my uncle disappeared a few days ago!"
Missing?
Jia Wensheng glanced at Master Huang and couldn't help but think of how Liu Zuhe helped him get rid of the Princess of Anping a while ago.
Could it be that Liu Zuhe was afraid that King Mo Ying would come back to cause trouble for him, so he hid himself?
Not only did he think so, but Master Huang also had the same idea.
After all, who doesn't know the relationship between Princess Anping and King Mo Ying!
Thinking of this, Jia Wensheng smiled and said, "What's the situation at the Liu Mansion now? Are all the family members here?"
Liu Xitang pondered and said:
"Not much has changed in the mansion. When I came here, my aunt was still there. Except for the death of a concubine and the sale of a few servants, everything is still the same."
Hearing this, Jia Wensheng felt relieved. He laughed and said:
"I think Lord Liu has been constrained by officialdom for too long and wants to relax for a while. Who knows when he might return.
Now that you're here, I'll stay in Xuzhou for a few days. Just stay at your house and tell Master Huang if you need anything!"
Mr. Huang nodded and said, "Yes, young master, please stay in Xuzhou for a few days."
He looked at Liu Xitang's wrist with a look of concern, then uttered a cry and asked:
"How did you get this hand done, young master? What a great suffering you have endured!"
Seeing that both of them said that their uncle was just out for fun, Liu Xitang didn't take the matter to heart. When he heard the master ask about the method, he sighed and said:
"I'm unlucky. I met a female assassin the other day. Before I could even say a few words, she drew her sword and cut my palm!
If I ever see her again, I will tear her into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Jia Wensheng was not interested in his experience and only said:
"Then I wish my nephew a speedy revenge. If you need help, our mansion can provide you with some."
After he finished speaking, he gave Master Huang a wink.
Master Huang understood what he meant and said to Liu Xitang:
"Sir, please come this way. Go change your clothes first, and then I'll ask the servants to take you to Xuzhou for a stroll!"
Just as he asked the servants in the mansion to take Liu Xitang away, he saw a servant running into the yard in a hurry.
He scolded, "What happened? Why are you so flustered?!"
The servant saw this and hurriedly reported:
"Master Huang, quickly go and tell the lord that the imperial envoy sent from the capital has arrived outside the yamen!"
