"Stop." Finally, Fang Wu heard such a voice when the sedan chair shook for the hundreds of times.
She burst into tears and laughed, and the first thing she called out was Ji Xuan.
Yes, she heard it. Not far ahead, Ji Xuan's voice rang out. It wasn't just his voice that was three parts lazy, four parts strict and three parts clear. It seemed that suddenly, Fang Wu felt that Ji Xuan was...
Standing in front of her, he reassured her and told her it was okay.
However, she didn't hear any sound anymore, and she only felt that her head was heavy. She had no strength in her body, and she didn't even have the strength to lift it up and hit the sedan with it.
"Here, this official, just ask us to come over." Xipo said with a smile, and was about to stuff a thick purse into Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan dodged, but another hand took away the purse.
"I've accepted the stuff, but I can't leave. Don't you understand? The whole city is on alert." That's right. The person coming is none other than Zhang Xuan.
If he had just listened to the child when he arranged these things before, but now he has determined who is in the sedan.
After delivering the message, he went to Fang's house again and met Matchmaker Wang. He also met the painter Fang Wu asked to deliver the message. Naturally, he was sure that Fang Wu had been tricked.
As for the scheming people, the Fang family is now temporarily imprisoned in the Yamen prison. How could Zhang Xuan be so quick?
He found the young man, borrowed a horse, and a team of people to help him. By this time, the fire in the county had also been extinguished.
The young man also brought out some supplies for temporary use by the people in the city who were affected by the disaster.
"Here, you two officials, please be accommodating." Na Xipo was still working hard. She was still unwilling to give up. Until this moment, he had no doubts about what was wrong with the people in the sedan.
I just feel that calling my girl is too strong and too strong, causing all these troubles.
Although there were other Xi Pos who were whispering something to each other, they did not dare to speak too loudly and alert the leader.
"Don't you understand? I can't do it if I don't." Zhang Xuan said bluntly.
The leader, Xi Po, did not dare to give any more money to the officials at this time, but carefully looked at the sinister man who came from Yuan Wai Lang's house.
"Wait a minute. It's not just a matter of taking a concubine at this moment." The man seemed to have realized that an accident had happened, and finally said such a sentence with his thin lips.
His words were so cold that they made people subconsciously step back, as if they were coming from hell.
Bai An ran over and stood behind Ji Xuan. Without saying anything, he secretly looked at the man.
"What's your surname, this official?" The person who spoke was Ji Xuan, and he was asking about the people in the soldiers led by the young man that day.
The man was wearing chainmail, with his head held high and his chest held high, standing beside Zhang Xuan. Although he was very inconspicuous in the crowd, he could be recognized at a glance. He was indeed the man who called the boy "Master" that day.
"I'm here, Bai Xi," Bai Xi said.
"If I want to seal the city, can your father make the decision?" Ji Xuan learned something from the Yamen who ran out of the city to look for him. The matter is not trivial. The city sealing may be a bit fussy, but it is the best thing at the moment.
choose.
"My lord, just mind your own business. There is nothing in this world that my father would not dare to do."
Ji Xuan was stunned when he heard this. The government official told him that someone deliberately set the fire and Fang Wu disappeared.
He was thinking about whether to close the city or not. After all, the matter was not that serious.
But, in the city... Ji Xuan turned around and looked at Bai Xi. He felt that if something happened to that young man, everyone in the county would be buried with him. After all, how could ordinary people have such a loud tone?
.
"Excuse me, let your people force the Xi team to retreat and seal the city." Ji Xuan decided and said politely.
He was not polite in his words, but he was not in any way flattering or condescending. He could only be described as being humble and polite.
I saw Bai Xi looking back and telling the crowd who were half a foot behind him: "Execute the order."
Someone in the crowd responded, and at the same time, they drew their swords and strode forward...
Inside the gate of the county town, under the dots of stars, there was a group of soldiers and horses in chainmail, and a group of happy uniforms, which dazzled everyone who saw them.
The atmosphere was so tense that it was hard to breathe.
The first four people stood under the city gate, no one moved, they only looked at Ji Xuan.
"Are you going to search?" Bai Xi asked.
Bai Xi and others looked at Ji Xuan, but Ji Xuan looked at Bai Xi but didn't speak for a long time, so he had to say:
"No, are you coming?" Ji Xuan always felt a little uncomfortable.
"I won't come," Bai Xi said. He has been following the young man for many years, and he knows that the young man doesn't like to join in the fun.
"There is no need to search. Did the fire start from Fang's house in the first place? Who came looking for you? You said Fang Wu is missing." Ji Xuan looked at Bai Xi and asked, but Bai Xi turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"It's the child who reported the crime last time. The fire actually started in the afternoon, but it was extinguished again, but I don't know that there were two fire points." Zhang Xuan sighed, and then said: "But what he said is, Fang
Wu was in the sedan chair. In fact, I met Fang Yue at Fang's house. The matchmaker Wang said that Fang Yue is the one who is getting married today."
"Control the Xi team." Bai Xi didn't wait for Ji Xuan's instructions.
In fact, Bai Xi had already guessed the matter roughly. He turned around and saw that Ji Xuan and Zhang Xuan probably understood. So, he directly gave instructions to his deputy.
There was a swishing sound, and Mrs. Xi was forced into a corner, and the sound of crying could not be heard.
The sinister man was forced to kneel on the ground because of his resistance, and was slapped twice on the face before he became silent.
Ji Xuan committed herself into the wedding sedan.
Fang Wu was dressed in a wedding dress, flamboyant but not domineering, bright red but still reserved. The blood stains on his forehead were stained all over his face, but they were not ugly at all, but rather a bit strong. Ji Xuan didn't know where to start.
He had no choice but to pick him up by the waist, bury his face in his arms, and slowly get out of the wedding sedan.
Under the curved crescent moon, it seems that fear, anger, and doubt can be seen on every face...
Everyone present was taken back to the eight-character alley of the Yamen, and the air was filled with tiny sounds.
It was the sound of the cold breeze passing through the chainmail and reaching the ears, making people afraid to breathe out...
"Tell us what you know." Ji Xuan and Zhang Xuan were sitting in the hall, looking at the child who reported the crime.
He was supposed to be studying in the yamen, but why was he involved in a case again?
They read the marriage certificate and looked for someone to find it. The foreign minister who wanted to take a concubine came to the Yamen, but he hadn't arrived yet.
"It must have been yesterday morning that I heard the aunt say that Fang Yue was getting married, but it was Sister Fang who finally got on the wedding sedan. She was carried on the back of the child, and she was groggy when she got on."
The child hesitated for a moment and said.
The aunt at the beginning refers to Matchmaker Wang, Sister Fang naturally refers to Fang Wu, and the child refers to Fang Yue's younger brother Fang Bao.
Ji Xuan looked over. A short, fat child was looking at him angrily. The Fang family was coaxing him angrily.
