The moon climbed up the branches, the sky was misty, and the fish belly turned up.
The room was quiet, Qin Sihan sat on the bed, her legs swaying up and down,
A pair of eyes looked at George Han who was kneeling there, and after a while he asked: "Do you know what your brother Bai went out to do this time?"
"Master, I heard Brother Bo once say that he was building a wall."
Han Handao,
His voice was calm and there was no change in his expression.
"Heh. He's not a mason. Why build a wall? Do you have anyone reliable and useful?"
Qin Sihan sneered. This bastard was very tight-lipped. Whatever he said to him, he would say to the people under him.
"Yes." Han Han replied after a slight hesitation.
"Are you sure it's trustworthy?" Qin Sihan said solemnly.
This time Han Han said without hesitation: "OK."
"Well, take them to the capital city of Chongqing to find out what your brother Bai has been doing. Remember, you are not allowed to expose yourself, and you are not allowed to let these guys know about it."
"I am a subordinate. I dare not investigate Brother Bo, so I ask the master to punish him." Han Han said.
"Isn't this my order?" Tan Sihan almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Of course he knew they couldn't. If it hadn't been for what happened in Qihuai today, or if it hadn't been for his order first,
They dared to stare at Bai Xi and try. He told them to die if they tried.
"My subordinates dare not disobey your order, but I cannot go without punishment when I inquire about Brother Bo's affairs. Master, please punish me."
Han Han continued.
Qin Sihan swallowed his saliva and said again: "Is it wrong to execute the order?"
"Both you and Brother Bo are the masters of your subordinates. It is wrong for a subordinate to ask about his master's affairs."
"...You go and investigate first. After the investigation is complete, you will come back with an order. You can then punish me and ask me to think about it." Tan Sihan finally got on the bed and said calmly.
"Yes, I will take your orders."
"Get up and ask Tao Xian to come in." Tan Sihan pulled the curtain.
After a low-pressure door opening and closing sound,
The two young guards exchanged glances, Tao Xian fell asleep on the soft couch, and Han Han climbed up to the rafter.
Tan Sihan was lying on the bed behind the curtain and closed his eyes after a while.
He knew, he knew why Bai Xi wouldn't let George Han follow him. Bai Xi was afraid that George Han would piss him off to death.
That's a fool, a fool, and a person who can't turn his head.
He just said, when will that bastard have extra thoughts? He thinks he has become smarter.
As a result, he thought too much.
…
Three days later, the next sound will be heard.
Fang Wu rubbed his waist and jumped off the carriage, looking at the Xuefu County Government Office in front of him.
"I'm back," Ji Xuan said.
"Shall we go in? Or should we go to the back mountain now?" Walking back from the Yamen, passing through the Bazi Hutong, there is a mountain that is not very high.
Generally, officials and servants who had bad official positions or were unable to retire and return to their hometowns were buried there after their deaths.
"My lords, our young master has prepared a place and said he doesn't mind Lord Bai being buried in the back mountain." Muying stepped forward and said.
His face was slightly pale, and he had injuries on his body. He had been riding for several days, so he naturally didn't look well.
Zhang Xuan stepped forward and rubbed him and said: "You kid, you only have this mouth that can talk."
Mu Qing dodged and glared at Zhang Xuan without saying anything.
Zhang Xuan's words obviously didn't sound like a good word, but they weren't entirely bad in the end.
"Let's go at night, please take us there tonight." Ji Xuan looked at Bai Ze and Mu Qing and said politely.
Mu Qing nodded, while Bai Ze made no move.
Bai Ze has this kind of character. He is quiet and doesn't like to talk, which is somewhat similar to Ji Xuan.
It just lacks the usual laziness than the latter.
A few people first parked Bai An's coffin in a common people's yard not far away that had been uninhabited for a long time.
Because Bai An had helped the common people for many years, and some common people helped to take care of him, so it was not so ugly.
Ji Xuan and Fang Wu spread out and took care of themselves hastily.
"A lot has changed here." Ji Xuan couldn't help but muttered as she pushed away to her original room in the eight-character alley.
He leaned on the door frame and looked at the yard and the house.
Fang Wu smiled and walked inside and said: "The place where the young master lives has always been troubled. The master also said it at that time. Naturally, he, the son of the Tian family, doesn't know what politeness is."
Fang Wu's implicit message was to ask Ji Xuan to be more open-minded. After all the changes, could he still change them back?
"Yeah." Ji Xuan snorted in a lazy voice, strode into the yard, and the two of them walked into the house.
It's still the same couch, with curtains and screens added.
"Go and rest for a while. I saw there is another room over there. There should be room." Ji Xuan thought for a while and looked at Fang Wu seriously.
There was a trace of expectation and a trace of uneasiness in a pair of eyes.
"Okay. Master called me at night." Fang Wu said bluntly.
Ji Xuan nodded and looked at the yard after coming out.
After watering the weeds in the yard, I went into a nearby house.
They were all high and low couches, and it seemed that they had been slept in front of Tan Sihan.
Fang Wu didn't sleep, he just lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
She didn't know why, she was so flustered, she always felt like something was about to happen, but she also felt as if she was thinking too much.
For a long time, she lay on her side with her eyes and eyebrows curved. Thinking of Ji Xuan, the corners of her mouth had an extra arc.
Although it had been a long time, it was still the place where Ji Xuan slept. Somehow, it suddenly gave her a sense of peace of mind for no reason.
After a while, I fell asleep.
However, perhaps these people have not noticed that Xuefu County is like a sieve. The place is not big, but there are many people.
In addition, they had no intention of covering up their whereabouts after they came back. For a while, the news of their return to the county government had been widely spread.
Even Zhou Ze, who had worked with them before, heard about it and sent them a letter, but that was something for another time.
Perhaps it was due to discomfort in their heads and the sequelae of the rush, but both Fang Wu and Ji Xuan slept relatively peacefully.
He didn't wake up until You day.
The two woke up at about the same time, opened the door at the same time, looked at each other, and both smiled in unison.
Ji Xuan shuffled, yawned, squinted her eyes, and even walked with the slightest feeling of being asleep.
Fang Wu couldn't bear to go up and say a word or two to Ji Xuan.
The two of them quietly left the courtyard and went to the Qiantou Yamen.
At night, we have to bury Bai An, and we can't delay it any longer.
Under the moonlight, long shadows dragged on the ground, moving slowly, getting longer and shorter, neither fast nor slow, and finally merged into one place, which was a bit peaceful...
