Wishful Things

"Stop trying to confuse the public with false rumors here, deliberately inciting people's hearts!" Ji Dong immediately ordered: "Since you have confessed to your crime - come here, put him in a prison and wait for his sentence!

"yes!"

Two yamen servants stepped forward to drag him up, but the man raised his head and laughed loudly, saying in a powerful voice: "In the name of a virtuous and benevolent king, he actually condoned corrupt officials and did all kinds of things for the common people! The so-called political achievements only care about the appearance, but in fact they are extremely foolish and perfunctory! It is ridiculous and pathetic! ... The riots of the disaster victims in Lingzhou are just the beginning, and people like me are everywhere! , Heaven will punish him..."

Xu Mingyi looked at the other party quite unexpectedly.

—Did you smear honey on your mouth? Why are you so talkative all of a sudden?

Until the person was taken down, his voice could still be faintly heard.

The expressions of the people are different.

I thought it was just the girl from the Xu family who was framed, but after listening to the grievances and calculations between the little girls——

But listening, Miss Xu suddenly caught the flower picker.

After the flower picker was caught, he talked about the current imperial court and the emperor...

If you continue to listen to this excitement, the sky will collapse, right?

"Did you hear that? The Lingzhou riot...is it real or not?"

"Why didn't you hear any wind?"

"Is it really going to be a mess outside?"

"Don't talk nonsense..."

"This is the capital city, with old general Xu in charge, no amount of chaos can come over our heads!"

"That's true, we have Xu Jiajun protecting us..."

Someone said in a low voice: "Stop talking about this, don't worry about getting into trouble..."

Everyone secretly exchanged glances and shut their mouths in unison.

These remarks are nothing, but who made these words not exist alone? Just now, the flower picker scolded His Majesty for being hypocritical and immoral...

These words must never be said in public.

Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning those words, looked at the girl in the hall, and praised her.

"Thanks to Miss Xu today..."

"That's right, Miss Xu's eyes are as bright as a torch, and she saw through the disguise of the flower picker at a glance!"

"As expected of General Xu's granddaughter..."

"The city is finally clean and stable now..."

Seeing the retreat, the common people left the yamen while discussing.

"Speaking of which, that little girl surnamed Zhan did harm to anyone, but she chose Miss Xu. Isn't that just asking for death... Who has seen Miss Xu suffer a lot in these years?"

Xu Mingyi, who has never suffered a loss, is in the court at this time, and together with Wu Chao, he bows to Ji Dong and resigns.

Facing the two young men, Ji Dong stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to Miss Xu and Wu Shisun for what happened today, I thank you both here."

The affairs of the people are his affairs, and I thank him for saying this.

"Master Ji is too serious—"

The two people in the hall said in unison.

After the words fell, both of them were a little dazed, and then turned their heads to look at each other, with faint smiles in their eyes.

Ji Dong coughed lightly.

In front of him, why is this?

The two saluted again and said "Farewell" before turning around together and leaving the yamen side by side.

Not far from the yamen, under a willow tree, Wu Chao slowed down.

"What's wrong?" Xu Mingyi looked at him.

Wu Chao didn't speak, but just stretched out a hand.

The boy's fingers were slender and beautiful, and there was something quietly lying in his palm with clear lines.

It's a black emerald wrench with a hint of green.

"Where did this come from?" Xu Mingyi raised his head and asked.

Or because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, his hands are always clean, and he never likes to wear and use these cumbersome things, so this finger wrench will definitely not belong to him.

"When I fought against the flower picker, I slipped it from his hand."

"...?" Xu Mingyi couldn't help being stunned.

Is it okay to get something from a thief?

Looking at the second-hand booty, she couldn't help asking: "Do you recognize this item?"

Besides, she couldn't think of any other reason for Wu Chao to do this.

Sure enough, the boy nodded.

"This belongs to my Wu family. Although outsiders can't see the clue, I recognized it at a glance."

At that time, he didn't have time to think too much, in order to prevent the thief from having ulterior motives to use this thing to drag him into Dingnan Palace, he took it back.

Xu Mingyi was very surprised.

"Since it belongs to the Wu family, how could it be in this person's hands?"

Stolen?

I'm afraid the other party doesn't have the ability to reach into Dingnan Palace.

Things that can be recognized by Wu Chao at a glance are more or less special. It stands to reason that it is even more impossible for the other party to get such things easily.

Wu Chao shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out for a while, so I plan to ask this person face to face."

"Now that the person has just been detained, he still needs to interrogate and confess. If he passes by now, it will attract too much attention." Xu Mingyi subconsciously glanced back in the direction of the yamen, and suggested, "It's better to go later."

The man said he was bold and bold, and he said he was afraid of death but he was also very afraid of death. At least he didn't have to worry about committing suicide in fear of sin.

"Well, that's exactly what I planned to do."

The reason why he told her now was that he subconsciously wanted to tell her things—now he seemed to be used to telling her everything, but he didn't know whether this habit was good or bad.

"It's almost noon." Looking up at the sun above his head, Wu Chao put his fingers away and suggested with his hands behind his back, "Anyway, I need to eat, why don't I invite Miss Xu to the Zhuangyuan Building?"

Xu Mingyi was already hungry, and when he heard the word "Zhuangyuanlou", he felt his stomach being hooked up.

Yi smiled and said, "Okay, but I should be the landlord—"

When she went to Ningyang, she received so many cares from him, and everything could not have been more properly arranged. Now that he has come to the capital, it is naturally her turn to spend money for him.

And I forgot who said it to her in the past - it is said that her biological mother said the most common sentence before she was alive: If you like someone, you have to spend money for him.

Now she seemed to have a vague sense of her mother's happiness.

Wu Chao smiled, and was very cooperative and did not refuse.

When the two of them were about to leave, suddenly a young servant walked over panting.

"My lord, I finally found you!"

I heard that it was the young master who sent his wife back to Beijing this time, but last night the prince brought his wife back, but there was no sign of the young master. He waited all night and didn't come back, so he asked people to go out of the city to search for a long time - but after searching around, he still learned from the spectators that his young master was in the yamen!

Wu Chao recognized him and asked, "What's wrong?"

The young master who didn't return home at night and hasn't entered the house since he entered the city turned around and asked him what's wrong?

The little servant suppressed his distress and said with a smile: "It is the lady who ordered the little one to come here to find the young master and return to the mansion."

Wu Chao nodded.

That didn't seem to matter much.

"Understood, you tell your mother, and I will go back after lunch."

Boy: "...?"

Then... what does the young master think he is here for?

Didn't he just come to invite the young master back home for lunch?

Thank you Qinghan, vanfic, and Haonan for the rewards. Thank you for your monthly pass.

Good night.
