Xu Jin always believed that the digging of the embankment to murder the imperial envoy was definitely related to the guarding eunuch Luo Xiang, otherwise he would not have just come to Puzhou to find Huang Jin after he and Xiao Huai suffered a flood. To put it bluntly, if

He himself also suffered in the flood. Huang Jin must have been taken care of by Luo Xiang. The granary deficit case in Yanzhou Prefecture will also be hastily settled. At most, a few county magistrates will be arrested as scapegoats.

Therefore, even without today's assassination, Xu Jin vowed to bring Luo Xiang to justice. Otherwise, how could he be worthy of Mr. Xiao, who is still missing, how could he be worthy of those Jin Yiwei who died in vain, and how could he be worthy of the tens of thousands of people affected by the disaster.

?

Of course, Luo Xiang is the guarding eunuch of Shandong Province [Biqudao www.biqudao.info] after all, the highest military officer in name. Obviously, he cannot be touched without evidence. For now, with the imperial envoy Xu Jin

If Luo Xiang's identity is to be touched, there can be two crimes. The first is the case of shortage of granaries, and the second is the case of destroying the embankment and murdering the imperial envoy.

It just so happened that the key figures in these two cases were Song Chi, the prefect of Yanzhou. If Song Chi was willing to confess and testify against Luo Xiang, Luo Xiang would be dead. Unfortunately, Song Chi would rather commit suicide than expose Luo Xiang behind the scenes.

Xu Jin was very puzzled.

Fortunately, although Song Chi committed suicide by hitting a pillar, he has been revived by Li Yanwen and his son. His injuries have improved greatly in recent days. Xu Jin is confident that he can slowly pry open Song Chi's mouth.

Xu Jin handed the fire gun back to Jin Baihu and said calmly: "Tell Eunuch Huang that those who were captured in the teahouse will be released after interrogation and there are no problems."

"Okay!" Jin Baihu agreed and backed out.

Xue Bingxin raised her lowered eyelashes slightly and glanced at Xu Jin with some surprise. She originally planned to persuade Xu Jin to let those innocent people in the tea house go, but she didn't expect that Xu Jin ordered them to be let go. Well, this guy is with

Compared with other officials, they are indeed different. If other imperial envoys were assassinated, I am afraid they would not be released so easily, especially the owner of the teahouse. Regardless of whether he is guilty or not in the end, he will have to shed his skin even if he does not die!

During the period of getting along with Xu Jin, what struck Xue Bingxin the most was that this guy was very approachable and had no airs. Sometimes he didn't care when he said some harsh words, and Xue Bingxin could feel that this was not a deliberate act of generosity.

It’s a natural way of getting along with others on an equal footing.

In addition, whether it was providing disaster relief and repairing embankments, dealing with plague incidents, or investigating the granary shortage case, Xu Jin's performance met the standards of a "good official" in Xue Bingxin's mind.

At this time, Xue Bingxin couldn't help but ask herself, if Xu Jin was not such a person, would she still be his bodyguard for a month even if she lost the bet?

Xue Bingxin was thinking wildly while wiping Xu Jin's drinking wine. Unknowingly, a finger circled the swollen part of Xu Jin's ankle and unconsciously drew circles.

Xu Jin was a little dumbfounded and coughed slightly. Only then did Xue Bingxin come back to her senses. Her pretty face turned red immediately, and the atmosphere was awkward and subtle.

"Thanks to Miss Xue, I was saved again today!" Xu Jin took the initiative to lighten the atmosphere.

Xue Bingxin's face returned to normal and she said calmly: "Since I promised to protect you for a month, I will naturally be responsible for your safety during this period. However, tomorrow is the January period, and I will leave early the day after tomorrow. Okay, you can clean up yourself.

.”

After saying that, Xue Bingxin stood up, turned around and walked out of the hall. The ponytail tied casually behind her head swayed from side to side as her long legs moved, full of youthful atmosphere.

…

In the evening, a thin autumn rain actually started to fall. In the C-size room of Yuelai Inn, a thin man, Qiu Fu, leaned against the window with his arms folded, looking at the gray sky outside with a sullen face.

Zhao Quan and Sun Cai were sitting at the table. The tea in front of them was already cold. The former looked calm and showed no signs of joy or anger. Jing Zhen sat on a stool near the door, playing with a copper coin boredly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the room, three slowly and two quickly. Jing Zhen quickly stood up and opened the door, smiling: "Senior Sister Xue is here!"

A slim figure flashed in, and it turned out to be Xue Bingxin, still dressed in men's clothing, her hair slightly dampened by the rain.

Zhao Quan and Sun Cai stood up at the same time. Qiu Fu, who was leaning against the window, also stood up straight and looked with a long face. If it hadn't been for Xue Bingxin today, Xu Suanzi would have been hit in the head by the assassin's blunderbuss.

So he was quite annoyed.

"Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Sun, Senior Brother Qiu!" Xue Bingxin called out a little guiltily.

Zhao Quan glared at Qiu Fu, who was about to step forward to question, and said harmoniously: "Junior Sister Xue is here, sit down!"

Xue Bingxin walked to the table and sat down. Zhao Quan poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "I feel relieved to see that Junior Sister Xue is safe and sound. By the way, how come Junior Sister Xue is with that Xu Jin?"

Xue Bingxin originally thought she would be scolded, but her heart warmed when she heard this, so she told the story in detail.

After hearing this, Zhao Quan couldn't help but frowned secretly and said: "So Xu Jin saved you, and you have been working as a guard for him during this time?"

Xue Bingxin nodded a little shyly under Zhao Quan's gaze: "I lost the bet and promised to be his guard for a month. I have to keep my promise!"

Zhao Quan felt extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Junior Sister Xue's eyebrows were condensed and her cheeks were rosy. She must still be perfect, otherwise he would have gone crazy.

Qiu Fu couldn't help but said angrily: "Junior sister Xue, what's the matter with you? If you don't take the opportunity to kill Xu Suanzi, you even serve as his guard. Have you forgotten that the dog officer killed many of us?"

Xue Bingxin said: "Senior Brother Qiu, Xu Jin saved me, I can't repay him with kindness!"

Qiu Fu sneered: "If you have a favor, you should repay it. If you have a grudge, should you repay it?"

"Of course I have to retaliate!" Xue Bingxin nodded.

Qiu Fu patted his chest and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to say this. Today you have saved Xu Suanzi once, which can be regarded as repaying his life-saving grace. Now it's time to take revenge. It just so happens that you also have the opportunity to get close to Xu Suanzi."

, how about taking his life tonight?"

Xue Bingxin shook her head and said: "But I promised to protect him for a month, how could I take the opportunity to kill him? This is unethical!"

Qiu Fu laughed angrily and said: "Xue Bingxin, I think you are in love with that pretty boy and you are reluctant to kill him!"

Xue Bingxin's pretty face turned red instantly, feeling as if she had been greatly insulted, and she said angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

"Why, you got so angry because of what I said!"

Zhao Fang's face darkened and he yelled: "Monkey, shut your stinky mouth and stop fucking farting!"

Qiu Fu said angrily: "Did I say something wrong? Look how active she was in protecting Xu Suanzi today. If she hadn't been so nosy, Xu would have been killed by the assassin!"

"Get out!" Zhao shouted coldly with a livid face, and almost poked his finger under Qiu Fu's nose. The latter's expression changed, and he finally walked out of the room angrily, trampling a stool to pieces.
