The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Chapter 226 go home and sleep

The Jinshui River was as lively as day. As Cui Yi and the three of them were rescued one after another, it was soon known that some young masters caught fire while drinking, and the fire was set by a small waiter on the boat.

However, the officials who came at this time couldn't care to pursue the little herdsman, because they knew one thing from Cui Yi's three mouths: Yang Shengcai, the grandson of the Minister of Rites, has not been found!

It has been so long since the four of them dived, and the situation is a little bad before anyone can be found.

However, not many of these officials are proficient in water, so they can only mobilize those people who want to live on the Jinshui River to help.

The Jinshui River is magnificent, and it is difficult to find a person who falls into the water in the river.

Seeing that there was still no progress in the middle of the night, except for a few curious people who were reluctant to leave, most of them were ready to go back.

There were only a dozen or so officials guarding the dock on the riverbank, and there was no way to stop them. Facing those dignitaries who rode on the painting boats, they could only let them go honestly, while for some flower boats and fishing boats, they focused on checking.

Even so, most of the ships were undetected, without others, and with too few staff.

Lao Qin avoided the spot checks among those ships, while Yu Jin's painting boat landed unimpeded.

The shore was shrouded in darkness even thicker, and it was pitch black even in the distance.

It's halfway through the night, and the lights of all homes have already gone to sleep, leaving only the sparse stars flickering on the black jade-like sky.

"Let Leng Ying take you back." Yu Jin swallowed the words of sending it off in person, looking at the girl dressed in men's clothes in the dark night.

That would definitely be rejected mercilessly.

"No, it's not good if there are too many people. It's enough to have Lao Qin." Jiang Si still refused, but his tone was quite soft, "My second brother will trouble you to take care of it."

Yu Jin smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

He deliberately emphasized the word "good", because the two had already discussed it before, making Jiang Zhan think it was more appropriate to be rescued by Yu Jin. And Jiang seems to have a request to clean up Jiang Zhan well, so that he can teach him a lesson.

In the face of his sweetheart's entrustment, of course Yu Jin agreed without hesitation.

As for the friendship with Jiang Zhan? Huh, it doesn't exist.

"That's good." Jiang Si smiled and took Ah Man away.

That night, most of the capital was lively.

The General's Mansion, Shilang's Mansion, and Taiping Uncle's Mansion received a letter from Shuntian Mansion, and everyone in the mansion was disturbed, and they hurriedly sent people to Shuntian Mansion to pick them up.

The Minister of Rites heard that Yang Shengcai, who fell into the water, has not yet been found, and the army is in chaos. All the people who can be called are sent to Jinshuihe to find people.

Of course, Zhen Shicheng, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, couldn't sleep well, so he sat on the court and began to question Cui Yi and the three.

"How did the painting boat catch fire?"

When asked about this, Cui Yi and the three became emotional and shouted: "A little herd set fire on purpose!"

"Young Master Cui, tell me."

After listening to Cui Yi's description of the cause and effect of the painting boat's fire, Zhen Shicheng touched his beard and said nothing.

The brief silence made the three of them uncomfortable, and Cui Yi shouted, "Lord Zhen, you must find out that darn little servant and stab it with a thousand swords!"

"Shuntian Prefecture will do its best." Of course Zhen Shicheng wouldn't make a deal.

These playboys don't know how many people they have offended since they were young, and trying to find someone along the line of revenge is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"There are more than four of you drinking together, right?"

As soon as Zhen Shicheng said this, the three of them immediately changed color.

Zhen Shicheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said unhurriedly, "This official learned from the little shepherd who escaped from the painting boat that there are five of you drinking."

Cui Yi suddenly patted his head: "By the way, there is also Jiang Zhan, the second son of Dongping Uncle Mansion, who also fell into the water!"

Zhen Shicheng's face sank: "If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Cui Yi pouted and said indifferently, "We were so nervous that we forgot about it for a while."

"Can people who drink together forget it?" Based on experience, Zhen Shicheng can already conclude that there is something ugly in this.

"We don't know each other well. It was Yang Sheng who called him, so when he was nervous about something as scary as a fire and falling into the water, he forgot about him." The other two teenagers said one after another.

Cui Yi looked unhappy: "Lord Zhen, we are the victims. You Shuntian Prefecture didn't hurry to find the arsonist, but interrogated the three of us like prisoners. What's the reason?"

Zhen Shicheng slapped the gavel suddenly, although the yamen standing on both sides of the court were not holding a killing stick and shouting "weiwu", the three of them were still startled.

"What do you mean?" the three of them shouted sternly.

Zhen Shicheng slowly put down the gavel: "It's just telling the three young masters, this is called interrogation. Just now, this official just asked you to understand the situation, but you think that you have been interrogated as prisoners. Did you do something wrong?"

"We didn't!" The three denied in unison.

"It's fine. The three young masters have worked hard, you can go back to the manor, but I will trouble you to come here later if you need to know about the situation." Zhen Shicheng narrowed his eyes.

These brainless little bastards are not as difficult as his son, and they want to be blind with him?

Thinking of his recently listless son, Zhen Shicheng suddenly felt a little guilty.

When the three of Cui Yi left, Zhen Shicheng immediately ordered someone to report to Dongping Bofu.

Thinking of Jiang Zhan's life and death, Zhen Shicheng was in a bad mood.

Although I have long been used to seeing life and death, it is of course completely different to face a complete stranger and a familiar person.

Is that boy gone?

And that little girl, she must be very sad to know that something happened to her brother.

After receiving the news, Dongping Uncle's Mansion turned into a mess. Jiang Ancheng immediately summoned his servants and rushed to Jinshuihe. He kept scolding along the way: "Little beast, I'll find you and see that I won't skin you!"

He cursed fiercely, but his eyes flashed with water, and his clenched fists were shaking violently.

Master Jiang Er and Master Jiang continued to comfort each other, and their faces were heavy, but the ease in Master Jiang Er's eyes was hidden by the night, and no one noticed.

In the Yaxin Garden, the second wife, Mrs. Xiao, laughed for a while before returning to normal. She packed up and went to the Cixintang to comfort Mrs. Feng.

After Jiang Zhan's death, the big house is gone. If the master can make a great contribution like Yong Changbo, the next-door neighbor, in the future, this title will naturally fall to their house.

Haitang was in the middle, and Ah Man looked at Jiang Si who was slowly changing into clean underwear and couldn't help reminding him, "Girl, there's a lot of noise in front of you, eldest lord, they're all looking for Second Young Master."

Jiang Ancheng was afraid that his daughter would be worried, so he did not call anyone to come to Haitangju to spread the word. In the eyes of others, the fourth girl should still be asleep at this time, but she did not know that the fourth girl had just returned from murder and arson.

Jiang Si changed her clothes and lay down: "Don't worry about it, go to sleep."

It would be better if there was a lot of trouble in the house, and let the second brother see what kind of pain he would bring to his family if he didn't take it easy!
