Chapter 253 Another Coincidence
After leaving Lin Garden, Shi Jiuyue took Xie Jing around a street before getting on the carriage.
The carriage headed directly towards the prefectural government.
"Uncle Xie, don't worry. I have a letter from Madam Feng that allows me to enter the prefectural government." Shi Jiyue was afraid that Xie Jing would change his mind and get off the carriage halfway, so she first calmed him down: "I can only let you meet Madam Feng. As for other things, Uncle Xie, don't expect too much."
Xie Jing forced a smile and said, "I just want to see Madam Feng."
At this moment, Xie Jing clearly felt that something was wrong, whether it was Shi Nian or Shi Jiuyue.
"That's good." Shi Jiyue cautiously probed: "Uncle Xie, do you want me to notify Rong Ying?"
"Why should we inform her?" Xie Jing raised his eyes and met Shi Jiuyue's gaze. "No need to inform her."
"Uncle Xie and Rong Ying had a fight?" Shi Jiuyue continued to ask tentatively, "Is it because of Madam Feng? Does Rong Ying also know Madam Feng?"
Xie Jing didn't want to continue talking to Shi Jiyue: "Jiyue, thank you for this."
After saying that, Xie Jing closed his eyes and rested.
When Shi Jiyue saw that Xie Jing was determined to go to the prefectural government to meet Feng Pei, an imperceptible curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
She said, "Uncle Xie, please wait a moment. We will arrive at the prefectural government soon."
There is always a thin mist in the deep winter in Yizhou. The city is crowded with tourists, and the speed of carriages is much slower.
Xie Jing was wary of Shi Jiuyue. He looked at the coachman before getting on the carriage and thought he didn't look like a skilled man. If he couldn't see Feng Peizhi this time, he would find a place to stay in Yizhou and slowly inquire about Feng Peizhi's whereabouts. Anyway, he now knew Feng Peizhi's whereabouts.
Another stick of incense passed, and the speed of the carriage gradually increased, and the noise outside became much quieter. Just when Xie Jing thought they were about to reach the prefectural government and his vigilance against Shi Jiuyue gradually relaxed, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Xie Jing suddenly opened his eyes.
"Uncle Xie, let me see what's going on." Shi Jiuyue stood up and walked out of the carriage while speaking.
Xie Jing sensed something was wrong, so he stood up, bent over, and walked out. As he stepped out of the carriage and stood up, he saw about seven or eight men in black standing at the end of the alley, but Shi Jiuyue was nowhere to be seen.
"Uncle Xie, why do you look so surprised?"
Xie Jing looked suddenly in the direction of the sound and saw Shi Jiuyue standing on the left side of the carriage next to the wall of the alley, with about seven or eight men in black standing beside her.
"Ji Yue, what are you doing?" Xie Jing asked coldly.
Shi Jiyue sneered: "Xie Jing, should I say you are naive or stupid? The Xie and Shi families have long since fallen out, and you dare to trust my second uncle and me for a woman?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Jing pointed at Shi Jiuyue fiercely, "Are you saying there's no Feng Peizhi in Yizhou?"
"I see you're really obsessed with Feng Peizhi." Shi Jiyue said with a smile, "I wonder if Rongying should cry or laugh when she finds out she has a father like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Shi Jiuyue's face disappeared instantly, and he stared at Xie Jing fiercely.
Why did Xie Rongying have both her parents alive? Why did Xie Rongying escape from the Yongyi Marquis's mansion unscathed?
Why can the Xie family destroy her family?
Her father, her elder brother and younger brother, she and her mother were forced to leave Bian Jing and come to this Lingnan area.
So why?
"Get started." Shi Jiuyue ordered coldly.
As the voice fell, the men in black on both sides surrounded the carriage.
Xie Jing's pupils shrank, and he quickly bent over and gripped the reins.
With the noise around, the horses seemed to be frightened and a neighing sounded throughout the alley.
Because the horses were frightened, some people around were afraid to move forward. Xie Jing was also very frightened. It was obvious that Shi Jiuyue wanted to kill him.
At a corner not far from the end of the alley, Gu Xun and Huaian looked at the end of the alley, their expressions different.
There was no expression on Gu Xun's face.
Huai'an, however, was eager to make a move and said, "Why don't you go and save him?"
"Wait a little longer." Gu Xun said calmly.
"Still waiting?" Huai'an stared at Gu Xun in confusion: "Aren't you afraid that he will die at the hands of those people?"
"The lady said that the master must suffer a little, so that he won't act like a woman and make trouble in front of the lady." There was a hint of impatience in Gu Xun's tone.
Hearing this, Huai'an also put away his anxious look. When he was about to speak, he noticed that a group of people were coming towards the alley. The two of them immediately hid in the corner.
The two looked at each other, and then tried their best to lean against the wall to avoid being noticed.
At this time, Xie Jing had been dragged off the carriage by Shi Jiuyue's men.
"Why aren't you doing anything yet?!" Shi Jiyue shouted angrily, "Cut off his head!"
"What are you doing!" A stern voice and the sound of horse hooves came from behind Shi Jiuyue.
Shi Jiuyue turned her head suddenly and saw a group of constables in official uniforms appearing behind her. The man on horseback was not in official uniform but in gorgeous clothes. He was the governor of Yizhou, Chu Wennan, whom she had met a few days ago.
"Lord Chu." Shi Jiuyue didn't understand why Chu Wennan happened to appear here.
"Ms. Shi, why are you here?" Chu Wennan turned over and walked towards Shi Jiuyue.
Shi Jiyue clenched her hands under her sleeves, took a deep breath, and said, "Why is Master Chu here?"
Chu Wennan glanced at Shi Jiuyue indifferently, then looked in the direction of Xie Jing, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
Xie Jing was dragged on the ground until he was dizzy and was helped up before he could react.
"Thank you, sir, why are you here?" Chu Wennan asked in surprise.
When Xie Jing saw that the face of the person in front of him matched the face of Chu Wennan in his memory, he heard Shi Nian rushing over.
"Xie, Brother!" Shi Nian got off the carriage and hurried towards Xie Jing: "Xie, Brother, I'm glad you didn't get hurt, otherwise I would really feel guilty for the rest of my life."
(That’s it, there will be more updates in the next few days at the end of the month.)
