Chapter 046



Night fragrance?

When Xie Shu heard this, his hand froze in mid-air, and then he burst into laughter.

No wonder my husband showed such a rare playful smile just now, it turns out it was because of this.

However, it is difficult for Ximo to be forced to this point in order to avoid being tracked by others.

The two of them then talked while waiting for news, and Xie Shu then told her husband in detail everything that had happened today.

When talking about the third prince, Xie Shu paused, but still did not hide anything from her husband.

Xie Shu looked at Yu Chuxi. Yu Chuxi had been listening to him quietly since just now, occasionally showing a worried expression. But now, when he heard this, Yu Chuxi's eyes fluctuated slightly, but there was no fear at all.

But Xie Shu still reached out her hand, shook her husband's, and comforted him.

Yu Chuxi smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid. It's good to know who is behind this. He only dares to use other people's hands, which means he knows that what he did is not allowed to be seen in the light, so he dare not put it on the table. In this case, I believe that you and Mr. Jiang will come up with a solution. But I am worried that he will not give up in the future. This time Xi Mo almost got into trouble. Could it be related to his people? We must be careful in the future."

At this time, Yu Chuxi frowned and said: "Next time, don't be so anxious to tell me things..."

Halfway through his words, Yu Chuxi also realized that his words were ambiguous, so he explained: "What I mean is that I am worried about being caught and used..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shu looked at him and said softly, "I understand. I will pay attention in the future. But I will tell you if I have any problems in the future. I hope you can trust me. From now on, we will be honest with each other. In this way, even if there are villains who want to take advantage of the situation, it will be useless."

As he spoke, Xie Shu bowed to Yu Chuxi again and said helplessly: "It is my fault that you have troubled me today. I hope you will not blame me..."

When Yu Chuxi heard what Xie Shu said just now, there seemed to be a glow in his eyes, full of spring light.

Seeing Xie Shu suddenly bowing to him, Yu Chuxi wanted to help him up immediately, but his cheeks turned light red without him noticing. Then Yu Chuxi turned away and whispered: "We are husband and wife, why bother talking about this..."

The gentleman's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his voice ended softly.

There was a faint halo between Xie Shu's brows. He was about to say a few words to his lover with a smile, when he heard someone outside reporting that Xi Mo had been found.

Not long after, Ximo came in. He didn't have any injuries on his body, but he looked much more disheveled than usual.

As soon as Xi Mo came in, his eyes turned red and he wiped his face and said, "Master, you have to make the decision for me. I almost couldn't come back today."

It turned out that not long after Xi Mo left the house, he discovered that someone was following him.

This man was very fast and seemed to be good at martial arts. Ximo did not dare to alert the enemy, fearing that he would be captured by this man before he could find anyone to help. So he had no choice but to hide the letter from Xie Shu and then walk towards the outside of the city.

Fortunately, this person was not familiar with Jinling, and only later discovered that Ximo was going in the wrong direction.

The man was about to step forward to capture him, but at the critical moment, Ximo happened to see an ox cart preparing to leave the city. He squeezed in the crowd and was one step faster than the man, so he escaped.

After Ximo finished speaking, he consciously moved away from his master and the others. Although he was not contaminated by anything, he had been around those things for some time...

The master is fine, but the husband is still here.

After Xie Shu heard the whole story, he carefully asked about Xi Mo's other characteristics and was certain that this person should be a guard or something like that. If he guessed correctly, this person should be...

After this thought, Xie Shu came back to his senses and looked at Xi Mo. He comforted him first, and then asked him to go down and take care of it.

On the other side, Eunuch Liu had just sent away Gu Zhong’s son Gu Yuanke.

As soon as Gu Yuanke left, Eunuch Liu also frowned secretly.

He never imagined that the task assigned to him by the Third Prince would involve Jiang Hong's students.

Although he seldom served the emperor, how could eunuchs like him not know what happened in the previous dynasty?

Jiang Hong once held the position of chief academic officer of the Imperial College, and was very different from those sour Confucian scholars who talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality.

Jiang Hong had just left the court not long ago, and his influence was still there. If I approached him now, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?

If Eunuch Liu had not known that Jiang Hong was indeed accepted as his last disciple a few days ago, he would have almost thought that he had been tricked by accident. Of course, now it seems that it was all just a coincidence.

However, since someone from the Gu family helped to explain, he could complete the task assigned to him by the Third Prince.

However, the Gu family's subsequent arrangements were somewhat unexpected to Eunuch Liu. In his opinion, since they knew that the son-in-law of the Yu family was a disciple of Jiang Hong, why didn't the Gu family make friends with Xie Shu, but instead secretly tripped him up? As expected, after not returning to the capital for a long time and staying in Jinling for too long, their horizons were not high...

In fact, if Eunuch Liu didn't know Xie Shu's identity, he wouldn't care about it. He had received the favor of the Third Prince, so it was nothing to do a small thing for him.

But now Eunuch Liu was somewhat unhappy. It was just a piece of cake for the Third Prince to say a word for him in front of the Emperor. Now he was using his name to do these things. He might even lose all the money he had saved with great effort!

But Eunuch Liu was still weighing the pros and cons. After all, the third prince was the grandson of the emperor and might be able to inherit the throne in the future, so he naturally could not offend him.

As for this Xie Shu, no one knew what kind of person he was, as he made the Third Prince go to such great lengths to deal with him.

While Eunuch Liu was thinking, he heard someone report that people from the yamen had come up.

It turned out that Wang Qiang had just searched for someone based on the portrait Xie Shu had given him, and soon he got the result.

Some people have indeed seen the person in the painting, and the place where this person has appeared is also near Wenqifang.

Wang Qiang was very familiar with every place in Jinling. He followed the clues and found a villa.

When he arrived at the villa, Wang Qiang was even more certain that, except for the servants, all the other people in the villa were from other places.

Wang Qiang originally wanted to take people to seal off the place immediately, but due to his many years of experience in handling cases, Wang Qiang became a little cautious. The people living nearby were either rich or noble, and Wang Qiang knew most of them, but he didn't know where this family came from.

Wang Qiang interrogated these servants, but they were so flustered that they couldn't explain anything. They just said that their master asked them to serve the masters here.

At this moment, someone suddenly stopped Wang Qiang. It was the first time that Wang Qiang met someone in the city who dared to go against the government.

But the more he fought with that man, the more frightened Wang Qiang became.

Wang Qiang thought to himself that he was quite skilled and he never forgot to practice martial arts every day over the years. He was able to subdue all the people in Jinling City, big and small, inside and outside.

But the man in front of him was the same age as him, but his skills were far superior to his own. Not only that, his methods did not seem to be evil, but rather very orthodox.

Just when Wang Qiang was having difficulty holding on, someone came out and called out, "Commander Sun, the eunuch said to let this person in."

When Wang Qiang heard the words "Commander Sun" and "Eunuch", his heart was as upset as if a huge wave had risen. He had faintly heard the rumor from yesterday that a eunuch named Liu from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had come to the capital, but he never imagined that the other party would live here.

Wang Qiang felt uneasy as he followed him into the room. He saw a white-faced, beardless, thin man with a shrewd and mean look in his eyes. Apart from his flabby, white skin, there was nothing different about him.

Then the eunuch Liu looked him up and down, smiling, and then said slowly: "Oh, you are from the government, your prefect's surname is Wan? He looks quiet, but I didn't expect that his subordinates are so bold that they dare to break into our yard."

Wang Qiang could hear the hidden murderous intent in it. If he didn't explain it clearly and implicated the prefect, even his life would not be enough to offset it. Wang Qiang was sweating profusely and said calmly: "Don't be offended, Eunuch Liu. I didn't know that Eunuch Liu lived here before, otherwise I would never dare to disturb you! I just came to investigate a case..."

At this time, Eunuch Liu raised his thin eyebrows and said in a sharp voice: "What case? Do you mean that someone close to our family has committed a crime?"

When Wang Qiang saw this scene, he secretly groaned in his heart. He had heard that this eunuch had a difficult personality. Today he was in the hands of this eunuch. Even if he apologized and made amends, it would be useless. It would be better to explain the matter clearly and take advantage of the situation. Maybe this way he could still be saved.

Wang Qiang simply gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest, Eunuch Liu, I was investigating a case just now. The servant of Mr. Xie disappeared, and then I found you. I wonder if one of your guards went out this morning, and where was he at that time?"

As Wang Qiang spoke, he took out the portrait from his arms with forced calmness.

Unexpectedly, when he said this, Eunuch Liu did not get angry, but seemed to be a little interested. He first glanced at the portrait, and then asked: "Oh? Is the scholar Xie you are talking about called Xie Shu?"

After getting a positive answer, Eunuch Liu suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "This man does look familiar, like someone who followed me from the capital. But I don't know where he was today or what he did. Commander Yang, you tell me."

Commander Yang was also stunned when he was named like this. He was a little confused about what Eunuch Liu meant. To be honest, among the group of people brought out from the capital this time, there were naturally people planted by other families, but Eunuch Liu never cared about this along the way and obviously acquiesced.

But now, it was just a servant in a scholar's family who went missing, and the case was traced back to Eunuch Liu. Logically, this was an embarrassment to Eunuch Liu, but Eunuch Liu did not get angry. Instead, he wanted to answer the question himself. The meaning behind this cannot but be pondered.

Commander Yang glanced at the portrait and said, "This man is called Zhou Ming. He is the escort guard this time. After arriving in Jinling yesterday, he followed a few brothers to a nearby casino and has not returned since last night. As for other things, I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Liu snorted coldly, "It seems that this matter may really be related to our family? If you don't discipline your subordinates, won't others laugh at me?"

Wang Qiang was such a smart man that he hurriedly said respectfully, "Don't worry, Eunuch Liu. This case has nothing to do with you and will never be made public. I am very grateful for your accommodating attitude today. I will report the matter to the prefect. If Eunuch Liu has any other instructions, I will keep them in mind."

Seeing Wang Qiang being so obedient, Eunuch Liu was somewhat satisfied: "No need for instructions, just do what needs to be done. Wait, show us the painting."

On the second day, news came from the government office that the man had been caught. However, because Ximo returned home safely, his guilt would not be too serious and he would be convicted after the trial.

Xie Shu was a little surprised when he heard this.

In fact, he had guessed the man's identity yesterday. Since this man was very skilled, came from the capital, and had a grudge against him, only the guards who came with the eunuch in the past few days could match him.

But if it was really the eunuch who sent people, how could they be caught so easily by the government?

Xie Shu couldn't help but have some mysteries remaining. After finishing today's lessons with the teacher, Xie Shu returned home to review the homework assigned by the teacher and imitated the essay.

Xie Shu first thought of the idea in her mind and waited for her husband to come back.

Mr. Jin Jin told him two ways of writing fu. First, fu is a combination of rhyme and prose. The first type of fu focuses on describing the events and speaking directly, while the second type of fu describes things to express emotions.

The first type of fu pays more attention to the free and easy flow of writing and the coherence of the spirit, so it does not pay so much attention to rhyme. The second type of fu has many requirements, such as the words and phrases need to be in pairs, with parallelism, gorgeous rhetoric, and beautiful language.

But every essay requires basic skills. Exposition requires to be open and clear, which does not mean repetition. Beautiful rhythm does not mean being wordy or meaningless or making do.

Suddenly Xie Shu heard a noise outside and he raised his head.

Yu Chuxi came back very early today. When he walked through the hall, he smiled brightly at him. The sky was bright and the sunlight was golden, making his face look even more beautiful and radiant.

At this moment, Xie Shu forgot the words in his mind.

Yu Chuxi walked closer to him until he was beside him, gently pulled his sleeve, and then said, "The problem is solved..."

Xie Shu was distracted slightly, and he subconsciously raised the corners of his lips, but at this time Xie Shu discovered that his lover seemed to have something unfinished.

The author has something to say:

I recommend a very cute novel written by a friend, "Shock! The Mermaid is Like This..." by Liu Yiweiyu, little angels can take a look!

Copywriter:

Xiang Fei was ordered to go to the mysterious Twilight Sea to find a treasure that could make the emperor immortal.

In the Twilight Sea, he met a mermaid that appeared in legends.

Chiyu's cold long hair hung on both sides. He hugged Xiang Fei, and his tail, which was more dazzling than the brightest gem, was pressed against the young man's waist, bringing a wave of coldness. Chiyu whispered in his ear, "Come to see me tonight. If you don't come, you know the consequences."

Xiang Fei clenched his fists, and his Adam's apple rolled in suppression.

later--

Chiyu had only been absent for a few days. When he jumped into Xiang Fei's room one night, before he could say anything, he saw Xiang Fei hooking his belt with one hand, "Why didn't you let me look for you these days? Do you like other fish?"

Mermaid: ...

Mermaids can live for thousands of years. When a mermaid wakes up in the deep sea, all the fish flee and no creature dares to get within half a meter of him.

Late at night, he heard a group of humans' plan - to search for the treasure of immortality.

He looked at the leading officer, whose uniform was buttoned to his slender neck, revealing the lower half of his handsome face under the dim light. The shadow cast by his military cap could not conceal the sharp light in his eyes.

The fish in the pond narrowed its eyes slightly. Now it was time for some fun.

Watch him, seduce him, and when you get tired of him, abandon him.

However, Chiyu only carried out the first two steps.

Alas, fish life is unpredictable.
