Chapter 81 Design to capture the ‘Red Flame Fairy’
"Food Festival!"
Qin Hao'ou stood up and said excitedly: "I almost forgot about this!"
After Xia Jin left the palace, Qin Hao'ou hurried over. When he heard Xia Jin talking about Lao Lao's invitation to the food festival, he became excited for a moment.
"Is there anything special about this food festival?" Xia Jin asked.
"The food festival lasts for three days. During these three days, chefs from all over the country will come and set up long stalls on the street, offering their own special dishes for people to eat for free. People will put up lanterns and visit temple fairs. It's very lively!
Businessmen from other places will also come here, and by the way, there are some Huangmaozi! We might be able to exchange some spice seeds from them!"
Qin Haoou said excitedly.
Rather than looking forward to delicious food, he looked forward to the entertainment at the temple fair.
Xia Jin chuckled, "Little Douding is still Little Douding. Even though he has grown into a young man now, his interests and hobbies have not changed at all."
However, Xia Jin began to look forward to this food festival.
There were too few entertainment items in ancient times. There was a curfew at night, and everyone went back to their homes to go to bed early as soon as it got dark.
Only during various temple fairs can you see lively scenes at night.
The sky was getting dark, and after Xia Jin distributed some spices to Qin Haoou, he closed the business.
When I returned to the house, it was still quiet. It seemed that Lin Ziyi was not here again today.
It seems that he has not been here since he came back from Prime Minister Qu's banquet.
The next day, on the way to the Food God Hall, Xia Jin found notices posted on the roadside. The reward notice written on them was "Capture the Snitch Fairy Chiyan".
There is a portrait painted on it, which is a man wearing a mask of Li Kui. The crime is to burn down the prime minister's house.
Xia Jin lamented that she was sitting at home, but the pot came from the sky!
Speaking of which, Xia Jin was actually quite curious about who the person who pretended to be her was. She just set fire to it and went to Dali Temple to deliver the letter. I don’t know what he was thinking!
etc……
Xia Jin later realized that that person was clearly deliberately letting others know that he was the "Red Flame Fairy" so that he could pour dirty water on himself!
The more Xia Jin thought about it, the angrier she became. When she arrived at the Food God Hall, she took a sip of chrysanthemum tea angrily and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why is my boss so angry so early in the morning?" Zhang Ma stepped forward and asked with concern.
Xia Jin held her forehead and said, "I have suffered such a terrible disaster. Do you think I can stop being angry?"
While I was talking, an 'acquaintance' came outside.
Xia Jin quickly turned around and saw Qu Linjie and his follower Zhang Hu walking in together.
The two of them walked upstairs and went to the private room.
When Li Yu saw someone who knew him, he didn't come out to greet him for the time being. Xia Jin asked Siji to go.
Siji walked upstairs and asked, "What dishes would the two guests order?"
"Serve a portion of your specialty dishes."
Shiki took the menu and did not leave after exiting. Instead, he eavesdropped at the door.
"Don't worry, young master, we have set a trap, and we must make sure that the 'Red Flame Fairy' never comes back tonight!"
"Dare to burn down the prime minister's house? If you catch him, you won't be able to cut him into pieces!" Qu Linjie had a sinister look on his face. In the past few days, because Xia Jin suddenly resurrected and appeared in front of him, he couldn't sleep well every night and had a bad temper.
I have no place to vent my anger.
The prime minister said he would set a trap to catch the thief, so he accepted the task just to vent his anger!
After hearing this, Si Ji hurriedly passed the words intact to Xia Jin.
Xia Jin touched her chin in deep thought.
There is a plan to capture the 'Red Flame Fairy' and it will be tonight!
You have to go and join in the excitement, after all, he uses his own alias!
On the other side, in the study room of the General's Mansion.
Lin Ziyi frowned when he heard the report from his men.
"Prime Minister Qu is planning to capture the 'Red Flame Fairy'?"
Mu Gu looked at Lin Ziyi and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to kill someone and silence him!"
Lin Ziyi narrowed his eyes, his gaze was a bit colder!
During the suppression of bandits in Wangxi Town, the woman named "Red Flame Fairy" took the lead and took away the important clue that Mo Tuo might have lost his account book.
Later, she witnessed the process when Shopkeeper Qi was killed, and her intuition told him that this woman named 'Red Flame Fairy' had a lot of evidence!
"We cannot let her fall into the hands of Prime Minister Qu!" Lin Ziyi said firmly.
"I understand, I will send someone to keep an eye on it tonight!" Mu Gu said.
Lin Ziyi raised his hand to stop him, "I have to go there myself for this matter!"
He had fought with that woman before. Not only was she very skilled, she was also cunning. If he met her again this time, he would never let her escape again!
That night……
The guards outside the Prime Minister's Mansion were patrolling in an orderly manner. It was a cloudless night. Through the silvery moonlight, standing on a high place, one could vaguely see the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xia Jin was wearing night clothes and a Li Kui mask on her face, standing on the roof, the wind blowing the clothes, and her slender figure added a touch of mystery under the silvery moonlight.
She stared down, and finally locked her gaze on a dark shadow!
"coming!"
Xia Jin jumped down from a high place and crawled on the lower roof, staring at the black shadow outside the outer wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I saw this dark figure crossing the city wall and walking towards the cabinet.
Just as they passed the cabinet, torches were lit, and Qu Rongjie, who was ambushing nearby, came out with his men.
"Look where you are going! Take him!"
The guards swarmed forward, and the fake Red Flame Fairy jumped up to the roof nimbly. Qu Rongjie was already prepared, so how could he escape like that.
"Fire the arrow!"
Xia Jin frowned. If someone else was arresting someone, Xia Jin would definitely not care. But facing Qu Rongjie, she had to go against him!
When Xia Jin jumped off the roof and was about to save someone, a group of men in black got there first!
Xia Jin quickly pressed against the wall. Whose person is this?
Just when I was wondering, I saw a familiar figure standing on the roof in the distance... Lin Ziyi!
It's him!
With the obstruction of the men in black, Qu Linjie's bodyguards could not approach, and the fake Scarlet Flame Fairy took the opportunity to escape.
Lin Ziyi stared at him closely and chased after him.
It would be bad if that counterfeit was caught by Lin Ziyi!
Lin Ziyi thought that Mo Tuo had a ledger of collaborating with the enemy and always wanted to catch him, but the problem was that Mo Tuo was also framed and he had no ledger at all.
If the counterfeiter is caught, beaten and confessed at random, then Mo Tuo will be the wanted person!
After all, Xia Jin decided to take in the person herself. Since she stayed, she must be responsible for everything!
Thinking of this, Xia Jin also chased after him.
Ahead, the fake Scarlet Flame Fairy ran away desperately, with Lin Ziyi chasing after her on the roof. Xia Jin hid in the dark and followed. When Lin Ziyi was about to catch him, he grabbed the faker's arm.
"follow me!"
She whispered, and then led her into an alley.
The place where they were hiding was under an old tree. The gap between the thick roots was hollowed out by children and used as a secret base. It was just enough for two people to hide.
Xia Jin discovered it by accident, but she didn't expect that it would be their hiding place today!
Lin Ziyi found this place, jumped off the roof, looked around, and squinted his eyes.
"It was obviously here just now..."
He was confused, but had to look elsewhere.
Xia Jin breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the person beside her, only to see that he had lost consciousness.
He was hit by a sword on the shoulder and fainted from the pain?
With the moonlight shining in through the gaps in the roots, Xia Jin lifted the mask on his face, and when he saw it, he was stunned!
