Fragrance Returned

Dingxiang closed the small window and fed Feifei a fish.

It is not allowed to go out at night.

Feifei used to be very obedient and slept with Lilac, but today he was a little noisy, howling and flapping his wings.

Ding Xiang threatened, "If you make any more noise, I'll catch you."

Feifei knew the meaning of "挷" and was so angry that he screamed "Ouch~~Ouch~~". While Ling'er opened the window and looked out, she flew out.

Lilac couldn't help being angry, she still had to leave half of the window open and wait for it to come back.

At night, Ding Xiang fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling like she was flying in. She opened her eyes and took a look. In the dim moonlight, Feifei was already lying next to her.

She turned over and fell asleep again.

Not long after, there was a noise and the lights outside turned on.

Ding Xiang and Ling'er both sat up, confused and confused as to what happened.

Ding Liren knocked on the door and said, "Sister, don't be afraid. The people from Jinwu Guard said they lost something important and they want to search these big ships. No one gets off our ship, so we don't care about them."

Lilac said "Oh" and lay down to sleep again.

Ling'er didn't sleep, looking out of the small window.

Not long after, seven or eight Jin Weiwu got on the boat.

Master Qian Er went to negotiate with Ding Zhao, but after negotiation, they still had to search every cabin.

The first floor is occupied by escorts, "shopkeeper apprentices" and female workers.

Next is the second floor.

They searched the cabins of several confidants, Mr. Qian Er, Mr. and Mrs. Ding Chi, brothers Ding Liren and Mr. Zhang in turn.

Ding Chi, who was traveling all over the country, was frightened for some reason. His legs were trembling, and the sound of teeth hitting teeth could be clearly heard.

Ding Zhao also became nervous. Could this younger brother really steal someone else's things?

The people of Jinwu Guard paid special attention to him and inspected his cabin most carefully.

Ding Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when he found nothing.

When they came to Tao Weng's cabin door, the leader saw it was Tao Weng and Mrs. Tao. He clasped his fists and said, "I'm offended."

I went into the house and took a look around.

Came to Lilac cabin again.

Because Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao kept their belongings in the house, which was in the innermost room.

The door was pushed open, and three Jinwu guards rushed in.

The person at the front is wearing a blue "flying eagle uniform". He is about twenty years old, tall and thin, with pink eyes, slightly raised eye corners, slightly hooked nose, droopy lip corners, and cold and sinister eyes. Just looking at him makes people shudder.

Ding Xiang knew that this man's official position was not low, fifth rank.

Ding Xiang and Ling'er both stood up.

Ding Zhao squeezed in, clasped his fists at Qiu Wangzhi and said with a smile, "This is my little girl. She didn't even leave the hatch tonight."

Qiu Wangzhi's eyes passed over the little girl, the little girl, and the leopard eagle with wide eyes. The leopard eagle also had a "bag" behind it...

He sniffed, the aroma in this room was special, fresh and elegant, with a little sweetness, like the best of honey and fat.

His eyes returned to Lilac and said coldly, "We have lost a pet. If you see it, tell me."

Ding Xiang shook her head and said, "Sir, we didn't see any pets... oh, except this eagle."

Suddenly, a "squeaking" sound came from under Lilac's bed.

Ding Xiang and Ling'er's eyes bulged.

Ding Xiang squatted down and took out a small cage from under the bed. There was a small animal in the cage. It looks like a squirrel, with a red body and brown patterns.

It is a red rat unique to this era, and its living habits are similar to those of squirrels. It is extremely rare, and one can be sold for two to three hundred taels of silver on the market.

Ding Xiang's face turned red and she explained, "I didn't steal it. I don't even know how it got under my bed."

Qiu Wangzhi took the cage, his eyes even colder.

"Ouch~~"

Feifei howled.

Dingxiang reacted immediately, pointed at Feifei and said, "It's him, he must have taken it, we didn't know it when we were asleep. Don't blame Feifei, he's a bird, he doesn't know what stealing is..."

Afraid that this person would be harmful to Feifei, he gestured to Feifei with the hand behind his back, telling him to fly away quickly.

Feifei not only didn't fly away, but also stared at the bad guy with soy eyes.

Qiu Wangzhi looked unbelieving, "You told me that eagles steal things?"

The eagle is pretty good at stealing food, so how could it possibly steal something and hide it?

Ding Zhao said, "Sir, it's true, my eagle often brings things home."

Feeling that this statement was inappropriate, he explained, "I often bring things from the mountains home, such as wild fruits, branches, mushrooms and so on. He is like a child. He must think the red mouse is fun and wants to take it back to play with. Hehe..."

He also felt that his explanation was far-fetched and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The hand behind Ding Xiang moved even more, and her whole shoulder was moving.

Xiaodongxi just won't leave.

Qiu Wangzhi's face turned gloomier.

Tao Weng squeezed in and said, "Master Qiu, it's true. I can testify, and all the villagers in Beiquan Village, Jiaodong Province can testify. Oh, my family and Mu also know.

"This eagle is very smart. Not only can it hold things in its mouth, but it can also understand many people's words. The little thing is ignorant and doesn't know what stealing is. Mr. Qiu has a lot of people, so don't blame him."

Tao Weng had a bad temper, and it was rare for him to say anything nice.

Qiu Wangzhi twitched his lips and said, "Since Tao Weng has testified, I'll just believe it for now."

He lifted the cage higher and said to Tao Weng, "Xiaoguan went to Qizhou on an errand. Mr. Cai there is the cousin of the fourth prince. He entrusted me to bring this red rat to His Highness the fourth prince. Playing with the little princess."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feifei howled and rushed towards him, and was hugged by Ding Xiang.

"Aw~~Aw~~"

Feifei's mouth was open and his eyes were wide open, wanting to bite the bad guy who stole his things.

Ding Xiang got a little angry and reprimanded, "Stop making a fuss. What's the point of taking other people's things? See how I deal with you later..."

Feifei Fang calmed down.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Wangzhi walked out of the cabin first, and everyone else followed.

Lilac breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a red rat, and Tao Weng was the witness, otherwise it would be hard to say. Although that person was scary, luckily he didn't take his anger out on Feifei.

She slapped Feifei's butt and cursed in a low voice, "You're stupid. You didn't run away when I told you to, but you dared to bite someone. You didn't even look at who that person was, just that nose. He was a close relative of you... "

Before she finished speaking, she saw a pair of big feet wearing soap boots and half of a blue dress in front of her. Lilac raised her head in fright.

Qiu Wangzhi was looking at her coldly.

Ding Xiang was so frightened that her mouth opened into a "◎" shape.

You must be a decent person and don't say bad things behind your back.

Her voice was trembling a little, "Mr. Qiu, do you have anything else?"

Qiu Wangzhi asked coldly, "Can I sell this leopard eagle for one thousand taels of silver?"

Lilac shook her head.

"Two thousand taels of silver..."

Ding Xiang said, "Feifei grew up with me. He is my younger brother. I am reluctant to sell him."

Ding Zhao, who was standing at the door, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, this eagle is our family."

Feifei seemed to understand what Qiu Wangzhi meant, and howled at him with her mouth wide open, her bright red throat visible.

"Ouch~~"

Thank you Nini for the reward for starting to stay home again, and thank you for your monthly votes. . . The territory has changed. When the novel was first written, Qingquan, like the heroine, felt that it would take a long time, and she didn't know when she would return to Beijing. Now that I'm back, I feel like time flies again. . . Qingquan still writes fast, writing only 600,000 words in ten and a half years. . .
