Wishful Things

Azhu nodded.

"Later, the servant girl followed up with the woman and saw her enter the Xia mansion through the back door with her own eyes."

Xu Mingyi sat in the hall, after hearing what Azhu said, he felt a little funny for some reason.

It turned out that he was really from the Xia family.

Such an unsophisticated method like a child's slapstick, but it doesn't look like the Xia family's handwriting at all.

However, if you really want to think about it, the Xia family still has a worthy person - Xia Xi.

Thinking of the girl who had no talent but liked to make troubles, Xu Mingyi felt that she should remind Xu Ying to be more on guard.

"Girl, Uncle Zhu is here."

Ah Kui came in from the outside and reported.

"Let people come in."

Zhu Xiu entered the hall and saluted Xu Mingyi.

"Girl, the person has already been sent to the government. It is in the name of the old man. I have explained everything that needs to be explained. Mr. Ji didn't ask any more questions."

He was talking about the man surnamed Zhou who called himself a chivalrous man who worked for Zhanjia.

During this period of time, this person has been locked up in the Zhuangzi outside the city. He thought that the wise and powerful girl planned to take this person for his own use, so he mentioned it yesterday, but the girl was stunned, and then said... She forgot about it.

Then, it occurred to me that there was such a girl who confessed to him to send her to the government for disposal, and to tell the truth about the crimes committed by this person with the government.

The crimes of Zhan Qian and Xia Han have already been settled. Such accomplices do not need to go through a court trial. Mr. Ji has already taken care of what should be done, so there is no need to worry about the other party saying something that should not be said, just wait It is enough to beheaded according to the crime.

But Zhu Xiu felt it was a pity.

After all, that man is a good knife.

Xu Mingyi didn't feel any pity.

She is talented, but right now it's not that she is so short of people. She doesn't want to comment on the character of the other party, she just doesn't want to use someone who has done something to her cousin.

It's not that you have to be particular about people, but if you can be particular about it, let's be particular about it.

Besides, the other party's ability is just like that. It is worth mentioning that the crescent knife is good, but this feature is too easy to be remembered, so it is strange to ask him to kill people.

You can't kill people, you can't keep him in the house and hire him to cut watermelons, right?

When it comes to cutting watermelon and peeling melon seeds, she already has Aoi.

"Is there still no news about Zhan Yunzhu?" Xu Mingyi asked instead.

"The subordinates are incompetent, so far they have not been able to lead people to inquire about useful clues."

"Then keep an eye on the people on both sides of the river, especially the fishing boats nearby, you still need to pay more attention."

Twenty days had passed, and although Zhan Yunzhu was most likely dead, she still didn't want to give up the search before seeing the bones, at least she would continue to wait and see for a while.

Zhu Xiu should come down.

Immediately said: "In the past few days, my subordinates have heard reports from their subordinates that when they were inquiring in a fishing village fifty miles outside the city, they heard one of the fishermen mention it, and someone came here to ask about it two days ago. This matter - from the fisherman's description, it can be roughly confirmed that the person the other party is looking for is also Zhan Yunzhu."

Xu Mingyi thought for a moment when he heard the words.

Will it be the staff of the Xia family?

But for the Xia family, Zhanyun bamboo has no value at all. If she spent so much time searching and inquiring just to determine the life and death of such a small person, then she can only say that Xia Tingzhen is quite free at the moment.

If it wasn't the Xia family, who would it be?

Xu Mingyi couldn't think of anyone else who would have such a deep entanglement with Zhan Yunzhu.

But for some reason, a handsome young man's face appeared in his mind for no reason.

Could it be Wu Chao?

This guess seems a bit out of the blue, but thinking of the other party's many times of helping each other these days, Xu Mingyi feels that she still needs to ask - she is not the kind who can accept the other party's silent help with peace of mind, and then pretend to be stupid and don't ask a word people.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Wu Chao for more than ten days.

Thinking about the fact that he promised to invite him to Qingfenglou for dinner earlier, Xu Mingyi looked at the big bird who was dozing off under the pillar outside the hall, and when he was thinking of giving it a job, he saw a little maid coming in from outside the hall.

After Amo saluted, she said softly: "Girl, just now Madam sent someone to ask, saying that the kitchen is preparing the dishes for tomorrow's luncheon, and would like to ask the girl if there is anything else she would like to eat besides the ones that are served every year. .”

Xu Mingyi was taken aback.

By the way, she almost forgot that tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When making moon cakes a few days ago, my mother even asked someone to ask if she had any fillings she wanted to eat.

Since it's a festive season, it's not easy for her to ask Wu Chao to come out. He doesn't have many days to stay in the capital, and it's rare for him to be reunited with his parents like this. Let's wait until after the festival for dinner.

...

Next day.

At the family banquet in Dingnan Prince's Mansion in central Beijing, the eldest son Wu Jingming was toasting to drink with Wu Chao.

"Since entering Beijing, this is the first time our family has gathered together for the Mid-Autumn Festival." Wu Jingming said in a good mood.

"It's three, it's four." Mrs. Shizi said with a smile.

Wu Jingming also smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Isn't Ah Zhang not here?"

The second son, Wu Ran, is still young, so the chances of entering Beijing are much less.

He is already very content to have one of them by his side for the holidays.

Wu Chao also thought of his younger brother at home, and said, "Fortunately, the New Year's Eve is not far away."

Every New Year's Day, parents will return to Ningyang, and that is the day when the whole family is really reunited.

"Yeah, Zhang isn't here again..." Mrs. Xu touched the cat on the chair beside her with a smile, and said, "I'm talking about a family of four, including our family's Tianjiao."

The name Tianjiao, the word Tian comes from the seniority of Tianmu.

As a family, the names should be neat and tidy.

As for the word "pepper", pepper is spicy, and her little cat is too docile, so she might be easily bullied. Only those with a strong temper can have the air of being a cat.

"..." Wu Jingming's smile stagnated when he heard this, and he looked at the white cat squatting on the chair between his wife and himself, feeling a little complicated.

Since the cat came to the house, there was a sudden distance between him and his wife.

The distance of a mere cat seems not far away, but it is not difficult to see that his wife's heart has been completely deviated.

At first, his wife was far from being too much in front of him, until one night, when he woke up in a daze, he found his wife squatting beside the cat litter, smoothing the cat's fur in the dark...

This is the wife who claims to be as dignified as she, and never likes these noisy little things?

And to smooth the cat's hair in the middle of the night, is this cat tormenting her, or is she tormenting the cat?

The atmosphere at that time was awkward to the point of being weird.

good evening~
