For a moment, he couldn't even think of how to answer appropriately and perfectly.
Fortunately, the other party seemed to see through his embarrassment and did not intend to embarrass him too much. He chuckled and changed the subject: "It's 'Xiaguan' again. You're not tired of talking about it. I'm tired of hearing it. Now we are all together."
The case is on the same boat, so there is no need to adhere to etiquette too much."
"Since you just said that you didn't mean to go against me, I might as well be honest with you. Part of the reason why I joined the ship is that I have been too busy recently. I heard the peasant woman say that Bianzhou is very interesting, so I became curious.
As for the other part of the reason..." Xia Houzhi suppressed her smile and looked a little serious in her eyes, "I don't admit to the unfounded charges."
The last sentence was like a pebble knocking on Duan Chuiwen's heart.
Memories from the past emerged, some questions were asked, and I almost couldn't help but want to blurt out.
But after all, he still had some sense, so he suppressed it forcefully, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be the official..."
"Why haven't you changed your tune yet, eh?"
Along with the pleasant ending sound, the night wind carried a wisp of light fragrance.
He had smelled it before on the carriage.
It is the cold sandalwood that is commonly used by the royal family, but it is mixed with another kind, like the sweet fragrance that comes out after ripe fruits, like it comes from Xiahou Zhi's neck...
Duan Chuiwen's expression changed.
He suddenly realized that he was paying attention to the smell of another man.
"It's getting late, please have a good rest."
Watching the tall and straight figure leaving quickly with slightly panicked steps, Xia Houzhi raised the corners of her lips.
"Huh...interesting."
After lightly drying the sun, he turned around and stepped into the cabin, followed closely by two of his close associates. Leopard Tail hesitated for a while and couldn't help but said: "Master, even if you can capture such a tough guy, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to use it for your own use. Do you really intend to promote me?"
he?"
"He doesn't need promotion from me."
Unsurprisingly, two years later, Xie Minzong will step down from office, and Duan Chuiwen will become the youngest minister of Dali Temple in the history of Daxia by virtue of his own strength and the recommendation of the veterans.
One of the three divisions, with an official rank of third rank, in charge of the country's prisons.
Since then, drastic measures have been taken to eradicate corrupt officials, which has become a stumbling block for many people on their way forward.
Leopard Tail was obviously even more puzzled and muttered in a low voice: "Then...then you say he is very interesting."
After following my master for so many years, I have never seen her be so tolerant and caring towards anyone.
Xia Houzhi showed a playful smile: "He is a very interesting person."
The wall fell down and everyone pushed it.
In her previous life, she had to bear all the charges after her death.
Even the biological mother hid in the palace to avoid being implicated.
Why on earth did Duan Chuiwen give himself a ride?
What was he thinking at that time?
She was really curious.
Leopard Tail wanted to say a few words, but was grabbed by the fish's gills, indicating with his eyes that business was important at this time, and then said to Xia Houzhi: "Your Highness, if you want to help Mr. Duan handle this case, you will be humbled by your humble position.
Let’s investigate first so that we don’t have to work in vain.”
"Yes, it would be too much of a joke for him to decide to go to Bianzhou just after listening to a few villagers!" Leopard Wei echoed loudly.
"What do you know?"
Xia Houzhi scolded lightly, sat down at the small table, dipped her little finger in some tea, drew a simple river diagram on the table based on her memory, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's true."
Depending on the size and draft of the ship, several places that are impossible to visit or dock can be eliminated directly.
There are two remaining piers, one is remote and the other is prosperous.
For such a large cargo ship, it is obviously more likely to choose the latter.
There was just one thing that she couldn't understand: how Duan Chuiwen could conclude that Gao Xiuxiu was on the boat.
What is the purpose of those people who go all out to kidnap an official lady?
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered another thing, turned her eyes, raised her hand and waved it.
The two relatives understood the idea and immediately looked around. After a while, they reported back.
"Master, there is no one."
Xia Houzhi took out a small piece of something from his sleeve, wiped off the dirt, picked it up and rubbed it between his fingers.
This is a broken corner of the wooden sign, and part of the totem can be seen.
