Strolling all the way to Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion, Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu said goodbye to Xia Zhaoyi.
The letters Xia Zhaoyi left in Qi Mo Tang had been fetched by Shi Guoxin in advance.
At the same time, there are also people from the Yamen and Dongping Academy at Zhiyu Waterside.
Xia Zhaoyi had just arrived at Hezhou Garden when Xu Yinjun came over in a hurry and said, "My boss has a guest, Mrs. Qu."
"Mrs. Qu?" Xia Zhaoyi, who was about to talk to the visitor, was curious, "Didn't she leave just before?"
With that said, Xia Zhaoyi walked out: "Can you tell me what it is?"
"I didn't say that."
"Um."
Mrs. Qu did not follow, and there was no aunt or maid accompanying her. She stood alone in front of the white jade railing of the waterside pavilion in the evening breeze, looking at Wenhe Tower in the distance with a pair of heavily made-up eyes.
Seeing her alone, Xia Zhaoyi told Xu Yinjun and Zhan Ning not to follow.
"Mrs. Qu." Xia Zhaoyi walked over.
Mrs. Qu came back to her senses, her eyes fell on the girl's face, a smile appeared on her plump and fleshy face: "Ah Li."
"You have something to tell me?" Xia Zhaoyi said, "What's the matter?"
Mrs. Qu raised her eyebrows, calmed down, and said, "I heard Zhao Ning mention it before the dinner, and I learned that you have plans to leave Hengxiang in the near future."
"Um."
"It's... not a big deal," Mrs. Qu sighed. "The Battle of Mouye started in April."
Xia Zhaoyi is a smart person. When she heard her mention this, she immediately understood: "What Mrs. Qu wants to say is related to Nie Huimo?"
"Ah Li, I know I should be sensible and shouldn't say too much on these matters, but can I make a merciless request?"
"Mrs. Qu, tell me."
"Ruruo, I mean Ruruo, if Nie Huimo falls into your hands in the future, can you... spare his life?"
Xia Zhaoyi paused slightly and said: "Mrs. Qu, why do you think he will fall into my hands? He is a powerful official next to King Dacheng, one person is less than ten thousand people. With King Dacheng's current power, Song Dynasty conquered Yidu
I dare not do anything to him."
"No." Mrs. Qu sighed and looked back at the lake.
The lights of Wenhe Building fell on the lake, and the golden light was bright. Driven by the sparkling ripples, it seemed illusory and unreal.
"Just in case," Mrs. Qu said, "If there is such a possibility, you... just spare his life."
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly remembered that Zhao Ning had mentioned inadvertently before that Mrs. Qu and Nie Huimo seemed to have not interacted with each other for a long time.
Seeing Mrs. Qu's appearance, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly asked: "Mrs. Qu, have you made Nie Huimo angry with you by being friends with me?"
Mrs. Qu was stunned and looked towards her.
"It seems true?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"No, it can't be considered..."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and took a step forward, closer to the lake.
The evening breeze blew her ponytail into the air. Facing the lake breeze, she narrowed her bright eyes gently and said after a while: "Okay, if one day, Nie Huimo falls into my hands, then I will
Then spare his life. But..."
Xia Zhaoyi laughed and looked at Mrs. Qu: "He and I are actually not incompatible with each other. This idea of sparing one's life is a bit serious."
Mrs. Qu smiled but said nothing.
At least in Mrs. Qu's eyes, they are all people who want to compete in the world. It doesn't matter whether they have any hatred or not. Sooner or later they will...be enemies.
Back at Hezhou Garden, Xia Zhaoyi was already feeling sleepy.
People from Dongping Academy said that Guo Guan was in a daze today. After Zhao Yu arrived at Dongping Academy, Guo Guan was unable to leave the stage at several banquets.
At today's dinner, he couldn't even stand firm when he stepped out of the banquet hall. He fell down the steps and had a big hole in his forehead, which was covered in blood.
The people from the yamen were talking about the surprise interrogation of those in the yamen today.
In addition, Du Xuan has asked people from the Duwei Mansion in the south of the city to take over and be responsible for interrogating the Fang family, because they are good at torture.
"Mr. Du seems to have lost his patience." said the soldier from the Yamen.
"It's those people from the Fang family who are difficult to deal with," Xia Zhaoyi said calmly.
Whether it was the Fang family or the children of the Jin family who had been wiped out by them, Xia Zhaoyi discovered that these people had a very high sense of family belonging and honor.
Thinking back to the murals seen below the Jinjia Bamboo Garden, it is not difficult to imagine how these people lived in self-isolation from childhood to adulthood, and what the lessons they saw and learned would be like.
However, it was them. Compared to them, people like Guo Guan and Ding Yuejin made Xia Zhaoyi feel sad.
Their surname is not Chen, Fang, or Jin, nor do they belong to the other surnames on the mural, but they also hate the Qiao family deeply and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the master who has never been seen before.
Rather than saying that he has no brain, it is better to say that his brain seems to have been washed and filled with other thoughts.
Xia Zhaoyi turned his back and stood in front of the study window, looking at the lake outside.
Outside the window on this side, the lake is the inner lake of Zhiyu Water Pavilion. Under the lights along the shore, you can see a large number of koi carps swimming up the water from time to time.
"Brother Du has returned to Qingyue Pavilion?" Xia Zhaoyi said.
"Well, Mr. Du Xuan is back."
"Then wait until tomorrow," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "When he returns to the Yamen tomorrow, tell him that within three days, I will execute all the people in the Fang family. If he has any questions that he has not yet finished, let him know.
He finished asking."
"Three days?" the soldier was surprised.
"Well, it's up to Zhang Ji to decide how to execute him."
"Yes." The soldier responded.
Xia Zhaoyi glanced sideways at the letters and letters on the case. She spent a long time sorting them out today, and now it was time to send them out one by one.
"Xu Yinjun." Xia Zhaoyi looked toward the door.
"Big boss." Xu Yinjun, who was standing at the door, immediately stepped forward.
Xia Zhaoyi walked to the desk, reached out and patted the letters on the desk: "These are the same as before."
Xu Yinjun was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Yes!"
He looked at the letters and confirmed that the girl meant that she was leaving Hengxiang in the near future.
However, this was too sudden.
A thunderstorm suddenly hit Hejing.
Deafening thunder roared in the sky, and under the sharp lightning, everything was silent, the long streets were empty, and the buildings were solemn.
A woman ran past quickly, ignoring the vegetation in the cold palace courtyard. She crossed the courtyard under the trees and sprinted towards the corridor.
Fortunately nothing happened.
The woman pulled back her hoodie, revealing an old and tired face.
After wiping the water on her head that was either sweat or rain, she turned around and walked towards Leng Gong.
A guard ordered and stepped forward to stop her. The woman raised her hand and raised the token in her hand. The guards were silent, silently looked away, and returned to where they were.
In the dormitory, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Nianhe hurriedly went to open the door, saw the person coming, smiled happily, turned around and looked at Queen Nangong who was twisting her beads and reading a book: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Shupin is here."
Queen Nangong didn't seem to hear, her eyes still fell on the page, reading line by line, leisurely.
Nianhe looked at Mrs. Zeng and chuckled: "The Queen, she rarely pays attention to me recently. She only pays attention to me three or four times a day."
Mrs. Zeng sighed softly, nodded, and walked into the bedroom.
