Chapter 150 racking your brains

Night, Wendinghou Mansion.

At this moment, only three men and women were seen slowly walking up the steps...

When the guards in front of the mansion looked at it, their eyes instantly showed vigilance. One of the guards quickly stepped forward and yelled: "Stop! What are you doing?"

Wei Mo, who had changed his appearance, stepped forward, took out a letter and said, "Brother, my master is here to visit your heir apparent. Please show this letter to your heir apparent, and he will know that my master is here."

Who is it?"

The guard stared at the three people in front of him with doubts in his eyes. After a moment, Fang took the letter and said, "Okay, wait a moment." He turned around and left.

······

Dugu Ziyan's study and darkroom.

On a bed, Dugu Yan was lying quietly at this moment, soundly asleep.

Behind the writing desk, Dugu Ziyan sat quietly, thinking...

Qiao'er stood quietly beside the bed, turning her head from time to time to look at Dugu Ziyan behind the desk.

A moment later, Du Chuan hurriedly walked in, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao is here."

In deep thought, Dugu Ziyan suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing surprise: "What did you say?"

Du Chuan looked troubled as he handed over the letter and said, "Your Majesty, take a look at this. It was just delivered outside the door."

Dugu Ziyan quickly took the letter and looked at it, only to see that it read: Xiao Jinxi visited the Marquis Wending Mansion.

Dugu Ziyan smiled bitterly and said: "Ha... Xiao Jinxi, you are really amazing! I rushed back to the imperial capital just to compete with you for time, but in the end, you came directly to the door!"

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Du Chuan asked anxiously.

Dugu Ziyan stood up and said, "I've already come to the door, can I still miss you?"

"Du Chuan, please ask Miss Xiao to go to the front hall. Also, call Sikong over and guard Yan'er. You and I will go see Xiao Jinxi."

"Qiao'er, take care of yourself, miss."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qiaoer bowed and replied.

After a while, Du Chuan called Sikong, and Dugu Ziyan and the two of them turned around and left the darkroom.

······

At this moment, in the front hall.

On the chair on the left, Dugu Ziyan was sitting, looking quietly at the opposite side, with Du Chuan standing behind him.

On the chair on the right, sat Xiao Jinxi who had taken off his mask, Wei Mo who was still in disguise, and Luo Er standing behind him.

I saw Xiao Jinxi quietly holding the tea cup in one hand and slowly scooping the tea leaves in the cup with the other hand, but she never spoke.

After a while, Duguzi Yanfang asked helplessly: "I wonder why Miss Xiao paid a night visit to my Marquis Wending Mansion?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled, put down the teacup in her hand, looked up at Dugu Ziyan, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Ha... Prince Dugu, you are such a good big brother! Today, you worked so hard to pick up Dugu Yan from Xiangguo Temple. I can't find anyone, so I have to come to you and ask for someone."

Dugu Ziyan stared at Xiao Jinxi in front of him, thoughtfully. For a moment, he suddenly smiled sarcastically and said, "I underestimated Miss Xiao. Ziyan was so smart that he thought he was ahead, but in the end, it was all Xiao Jinxi.

The eldest lady is doing things right under her nose without even realizing it."

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said again: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!"

At this moment, Dugu Ziyan sighed helplessly. After a moment, he stood up, bowed and saluted, and said again: "Miss Xiao, I don't dare to shirk the younger sister's responsibility for the incident in Yunzhou. I will appoint the Marquis Mansion later."

We will do our best to assist Yunzhou’s post-disaster reconstruction and allow the victims to return home as soon as possible.”

"I also hope that Miss Xiao will forgive my little sister. Today Ziyan also promises that from tomorrow onwards, there will be no more virtuous concubines in the harem."

When Xiao Jinxi heard this, he instantly sneered and said with a cold voice: "Ha... Dugu Ziyan, you are so powerful, you risked your life to survive! In order to save Dugu Yan's life, you really racked your brains.

!”

"Duguzi said, I know that your Wendinghou Mansion has contributed a lot to the Yunzhou disaster relief. I also know that more than half of the extra taels of disaster relief money came from your Wendinghou Mansion."

"So, according to this calculation, does it mean that if I kill you Dugu Ziyan tonight and pay some money tomorrow, the matter will be over? Then your Wen Dinghou Mansion will not settle accounts with me, Xiao Jinxi?"

Hearing this, Duguzi smiled bitterly and said again: "Miss Xiao is really sharp with her words! However, Miss Xiao, the main culprits in this Yunzhou embankment breach have been investigated by the prefect Zhao, and the Ministry of Industry Minister Shen.

Obviously, the main reason was that officials at all levels used substandard earth and rocks to build the dam, and the rapid flow of the Yunbai River this year caused the embankment to burst."

Xiao Jinxi instantly sneered: "Yes, those people are truly unforgivable."

Zhu Zhu took a bundle from Wei Mo, threw it on the coffee table, and said again: "But with the help of Dugu Yan and Ji Haotian, the Yunbai River broke its embankment ahead of schedule!"

"Now those people have deserved their punishment and are reaping the consequences, but Dugu Yan and Ji Haotian are still at large!"

I saw Dugu Ziyan's eyes condensed for a moment, staring at the baggage on the coffee table, with a stinging pain in his eyes... He only found out when he listened to the conversation between Ji Haotian and Yan'er outside the tent that night.

But he never investigated this matter in detail, or he didn't dare to investigate in detail. He didn't dare to investigate in detail what Ji Haotian and Yan'er did?

Dugu Ziyan stood up slowly, walked to the baggage, and opened the baggage. There was a piece of gravel lying inside the baggage. Looking closely at the gravel, there were many tiny cracks in the center of the gravel.

Dugu Ziyan smiled bitterly for a moment, that's it! The bursting of the embankment was caused by the rapid water flow, which instantly broke open the embankment over a large area, but it was unable to cause such tiny cracks in the stone. Such cracks were caused by the force of the palm!

······

At this moment, Duguzi talked about the study and darkroom.

Sikong and Qiaoer both guarded Dugu Yan quietly. The candlelight in the dark room swayed quietly, making a weak crackling sound from time to time. In this dark room, it seemed extremely clear...

After a while, Qiao'er was seen twisting the handkerchief from the basin on the side, walking to the bed and wiping Dugu Yan's face.

Suddenly, Qiaoer shouted: "Miss, wake up!"

Sikong on the side was instantly startled. The time for the acupuncture points has not yet arrived, how could it be possible! He quickly stepped forward to check...

However, the moment Sikong stepped forward and lowered his head!

Qiaoer on the side quickly took charge and struck away...

With a bang..., Sikong instantly fell to one side!

At the same time, Qiaoer quickly picked up the sleeping Dugu Yan and held it in his hands!

After a while, Sikong, who had regained his composure, quickly climbed up from the ground and shouted loudly: "Qiao'er, what do you want to do?"

Qiao'er looked at Sikong coldly, sneered, and said, "What are you doing? Of course it's to capture Dugu Yan, the other executioner who caused the Yunbai River to burst its embankment this time!"
