545: A chance encounter with fatty fish (middle) [seeking monthly pass]
I heard that my daughter ran away from home and went to Ha Yin.
Zhao Feng looked at Xu Jie expectantly.
He rubbed his hands unnaturally, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "This matter is a family matter after all. Logically speaking, we shouldn't bother Wen Zhu to do anything about it, but - it's not convenient for me to lead the general Bu Qu to your river.
Yin arrests people, look..."
Qin Li's brows on one side jumped sharply.
Zhao Feng's words may seem like an understatement, but in fact they contain a huge amount of information - this is a serious view of Xu Jie as a county guard, respecting the other party's territorial power, and not leading troops into the country without permission, rather than treating Xu Jie as the same person.
Colleagues under the lord's account.
He knew that Zhao Feng was a rough person on the outside but delicate on the inside, but - Da Yi really didn't know part of the reason why his lord wanted Ha Yin?
Xu Jie turned his back to Qin Li and naturally did not notice the subtle changes in his expression. His attention was all on Zhao Feng.
Not long ago, the two of them had a drink and had a heart-to-heart talk. They were honest with each other, and their relationship quickly became closer. They didn't pay much attention to the position behind Zhao Feng's words. He said very straightforwardly: "It doesn't matter, I will send you a message as soon as there is news about my niece.
"
Zhao Feng's heart dropped halfway.
Just as he was about to say that Qin Li and Xu Jie had worked hard to find his daughter, he would be the host today and treat them both to a meal. Unexpectedly, Qin Li added abruptly: "If you say it's He Yin, then it's He Yin? With your niece's shrewd character, what's the matter with you?"
Didn’t you suffer a loss on the first day?”
Zhao Feng heard this and said with a grimace: "...No, no, can she still play tricks with her father?"
Qin Li's eyes clearly said -
【What do you think?】
Although not every girl born in a general family has a sassy character, Zhao Feng, his daughter, was doted on to no end by him, and she only got him during the years when life was difficult. For Zhao Feng, who was a new father, it meant a lot.
Ordinary.
Even if Zhao Feng later had other children, some were well-behaved, some were smart, and some inherited his martial arts talent, it would not shake the family status of this daughter in the slightest. Naturally, it would be strange to raise a daughter with a painting style
.
Zhao Feng was teased not once or twice.
"Then, what should we do?" His heart was half-hearted, and his heart was in his throat. Old Zhao looked confused and at a loss.
"Send someone to Yiru. The only way to go up and down the south is blocked, just in case." Qin Li was also worried about his niece, frowning, hesitated for a while, and then sighed, "If you don't have enough manpower,
It’s better to borrow some from the lord..."
"But this..."
Zhao Feng was not very willing.
Asking himself, he had no objection to Wu Xian personally. But after he returned two years ago, his lord allowed the generals of Tianhai to squeeze him out, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. He didn't want to bow down to Wu Xian at the moment. If he didn't bow down, he would miss his daughter...
…
Qin Li lowered his voice and reminded him.
"My niece's safety is the most important thing."
Zhao Feng exhaled a sigh of relief.
He whispered: "That's true..."
But there is always a thorn in my heart.
Xu Jie stayed at the Tianhai Administrative Office for two or three days, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and went through many channels, including soft and hard threats and inducements, and spent a lot of money. Finally, amidst the scoldings of several aristocratic families in Tianhai, he abducted them carefully.
female teacher.
Packing people up and running away overnight.
Wu Xian: "???"
Facing the crying staff, Wu Xian smiled awkwardly and assumed with a little confidence: "Maybe there is a misunderstanding?"
He couldn't even say it out of conscience that Wen Zhu didn't do it on purpose. Xu Wenzhu made it clear that he was deliberately looking for trouble!
Because these families put pressure on Xu Jie behind the scenes, and secretly instigated discord between their husbands and wives. Xu Jie couldn't openly quarrel with each other, but it didn't stop him from looking for opportunities to regain his position. In fact, he spent money to kill people.
He was poached by a female teacher who was hired with a high salary.
Don’t poach other people’s homes…
Keep an eye on these households.
The faces of those who were poached were ashen and they could hear the grinding of their back molars: "...How can there be any misunderstanding?"
Wu Xian smiled and said: "Wen Zhu came here earlier and said that he was looking for some female teachers. The best ones in Tianhai are all in your house..."
You can't blame Xu Jie for staring at their corners.
I can only blame them for being too discerning.
A few: "..."
Or do they deserve this?
Xu Jie consciously completed the task successfully and returned to Heyin's office relaxed and happy. He treated the invited female teachers with the etiquette of a good teacher and scribe. Most of them were between thirty and fifty years old, and almost all of them had no family.
My family is tied up, and my current goal is to save enough money for my own retirement, so that I can adopt an orphan from my clan in the future, and wait until a hundred years later to have a child who can shake pots and throw flags.
However, Xu Jie did not have enough money to take care of her. He sent people back to Heyin in advance to intercept Zhao Feng's daughter. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the government office, his subordinates said that there was no girl who met his status in the country.
Xu Jie confirmed again and again: "Have you checked them carefully?"
"Checked it carefully."
Thanks to the predecessors who planted trees, made the huge and complicated household registration work detailed, and established a solid institutional framework. Any stranger entering the country needs a road certificate. Illegal entry will be detected unless you have been squatting in the mountains and forests.
It is not difficult to find a foreign girl.
Not found——
Either Mrs. Zhao didn't come to Heyin, and her chat with the carriage dealer was a deliberate attempt to confuse the pursuit, or Mrs. Zhao was hiding in the mountains and forests. The possibility of the latter is very slim.
Just as he was about to take a sip of water, he heard that he had been on a business trip to Tianhai for the past few days, and a friend came to visit him. He waited for two days and then left.
Xu Jie: "Which friend? Why don't you treat me well?"
The steward replied: "The gentleman introduced himself and claimed to be from Fengxi County. He had some friendship with his parents in the early years. He was traveling here and stopped by to see his friends. It just happened that his parents were not here for the past few days. He left because of some business.
Already."
Xu Jie murmured: "Fengxi County?"
Memories come back with this word.
A red shadow appeared in my mind.
He exclaimed, "It's him."
Fengxi County is neither within the territory of the former Xin Kingdom nor the Geng Kingdom. It belongs to a small country at the junction of the northwest and southwest of the mainland. It is rich in flowers. Everyone in the small country loves flowers. Xu Jie went there once. However,
——
That country seems to have been destroyed.
The reason for destroying the country is quite ridiculous.
This country is located in the middle and lower reaches, and the forces in the upper reaches, at the suggestion of a certain bad scholar, cut off the river before the rainy season. This river is the lifeblood of this small country. When the rainy season comes, the upper reaches release water and floods...
Then the country was destroyed.
It's a pity for Xu Jie.
This country's domestic flowers make excellent rouge.
And by buying and selling and spreading information, he scraped a lot of money from the nobles and noble ladies of various countries.
Those who are worthy of being called friends...
I guess it's just that one person.
First, I felt regretful that I missed my friend. Then in the next second, I suddenly thought of something. I was shocked and clapped my legs and said, "Quickly, look for something missing in the house. Especially the one I like..."
The butler had a question mark on his face.
Combined with context——
Do parents suspect a friend of breaking into the house and stealing something?
After some rummaging, there were not many things missing, but the box where Xu Jie's younger brother kept his family letters had been tampered with, and there was a flower next to it. The study was Xu Jie's private property, and even the servants could not access it without his permission.
Easy to come in and clean.
The book box at home has been moved?
The housekeeper was trembling, fearing that Xu Jie would be blamed for his poor supervision, but Xu Jie waved his hand.
