Chen Yunqi looked straight at her, and Xia Zhaoyi looked back at her.
Several horses were led out from behind Guiyuan Inn. Chen Yunqi didn't know how to ride a horse, so a carriage was prepared for her.
A man urged Chen Yunqi to come up, and several people followed her gaze and looked at the girl approaching.
Xia Zhaoyi's speed was neither urgent nor slow, with both hands casually resting on the horse, gently holding the reins.
As the girl got closer and closer, Chen Yunqi suddenly shouted: "Ali!"
This name immediately made the men shudder.
When the girl came to destroy the inn, several people were present. The summer clothes at that time were very different from the winter clothes now. The murderous and angry girl and the calm girl walking around now were not the same person.
Xia Zhaoyi stopped and looked at Chen Yunqi, waiting for her to speak.
"You, are you here to see my joke?" Even when he was angry, Chen Yunqi's voice was still gentle and delicate.
"I was passing by." Xia Zhaoyi replied.
"The main street is ahead. Are you passing by this back alley?"
"I was indeed passing by."
"No, you are walking slowly, you want to see me as a joke!" Chen Yunqi shouted.
She is not good at losing her temper and quarreling with others. These few words, Chen Yunqi's voice was trembling, and every word was filled with impulse and blood that surged into her heart before she dared to say it. After saying those grievances, her eyes suddenly burst out.
It turns red.
Xia Zhaoyi lowered his head and pulled the reins slightly, and said patiently: "I didn't sleep all night, so let the horse go."
"You're still pretending!"
"I'm very tired now and don't want to quarrel with you," Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, "If you think I'm easy to talk to and you can just blame me here and vent your anger on me, then you're wrong."
Chen Yunqi shook his head slightly and said with red eyes: "Ah Li, you ruined me."
"Go to your biological father and tell him this." Xia Zhaoyi said, gently squeezing the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse sped up and left straight away.
Two lines of clear tears fell from Chen Yunqi's eyes. She lowered her head and sobbed softly.
Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu were not here, and Manager Chu went to bed.
Xia Zhaoyi sat by the lobby window and looked at the people from all walks of life who were still coming.
Some people come to Hengxiang only, and some come here every day.
Some people are taboo about having a corpse parked in the lobby, and some people don't care at all.
The war was chaotic and there were corpses everywhere.
Xia Zhaoyi drank a cup of refreshing tea, but was still sleepy, so she didn't wait any longer, spoke to several stewards in the front hall, and left Ning'an Building.
Qi Mo Tang was quiet, but when he entered through the door of the backyard, he was busy and busy.
Wang Fengnian is already a veteran in overall management, but the affairs are really busy, and all kinds of account books and bills can only pile up in the limited space.
It's not that they don't want to change places, but Hengxiang is an overly sensitive place, especially in winter when everything is bleak. The slightest movement can attract attention.
Seeing Xia Zhaoyi come back, Wang Fengnian picked up a large bag of envelopes that Xia Zhaoyi had sent back before: "My boss, when were these letters written?"
Xia Zhaoyi received a cup of hot tea from the maid: "I found a teahouse this morning and wrote this in it."
"Just follow what was said above and when the date comes, just send it out?"
"Um."
"Then, don't I have to do anything anymore?"
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, and was about to sit down and rest for a while, then turned to look at Kang Jian and Yang Fugui who heard the sound, and walked away.
"Miss Ah Li," Yang Fugui pointed to his eyes and signaled to Xia Zhaoyi, "have you stayed up all night?"
Xia Zhaoyi picked up the lid of the tea cup and took a look at it.
There seems to be dark circles under the eyes, but they are not obvious.
Yang Fugui and Kang Jian were amused by her.
"How about we leave again tomorrow?" Kang Jian said, "Girl, you have to rest."
"I was supposed to leave this morning, but it has been postponed for a day." Xia Zhaoyi put down the tea cover, "I can rest on the carriage, so that's okay. However, I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, what are we discussing?"
Xia Zhaoyi motioned to Wang Fengnian to bring the bag of letters.
Although they are all letters, there are too many and the weight is heavy.
In addition to the letter, there is also a booklet, which contains a lot of things. The first half is instructions and notes, and the second half is related to the letters.
Which letter will be sent to whom in the next few days? The recipients will all be high-ranking people in Hengxiang. They are either business owners, general managers of trading houses or deans of major academies, as well as officials of various sizes in government agencies.
Qiu Duwei has them all.
"I want you to stay in Hengxiang for me," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Mr. Wang is too busy with work, and I can't find anyone I can trust for the time being. Don't worry, I will send a letter to Youzhou to ask Du
Big brother, help me choose someone to come to Hengxiang as soon as possible to replace you."
"Then when you go south this time, you will only have one..." Kang Jian looked at Yang Fugui, really not trusting him.
"The coachman is easy to find." Xia Zhaoyi said.
This is true.
Yang Fugui felt aggrieved: "I'm not practicing."
"If that's the case, then I'll go find the coachman now," Wang Fengnian said, "Xu Shi is approaching."
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.
Seeing Wang Fengnian leave quickly, Kang Jian was a little worried: "Miss Ali, are you just going to deal with these letters? What else needs to be done."
"Sit down," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Sit down and talk slowly."
"Um."
There were not many people in Qimotang, a few servant girls and a big man responsible for security, all of whom Wang Fengnian absolutely trusted, but Xia Zhaoyi still sent them away.
The biggest convenience of Kang Jianlai being in charge of this matter is that Shen Lie has also been in contact with and knows about the existence of "those people".
In order to make Kang Jian understand the situation more clearly, Xia Zhaoyi started from Long Yuan and Qianqiu Palace back then.
The matter was very complicated, but she summarized it clearly and concisely, including what happened to Hengxiang this time, Bian Yuanfeng was Mo Haizhu, Cao Yu and Lin Qingfeng were also in the hands of "those people", and she also mentioned them all
.
As well as the most important surname "Qiao", the pearls in the pawn shop, and Shen Shun, who must be guarded against.
Kang Jian was dumbfounded and looked down at the bag of letters beside him.
They had just come to Hengxiang the day before yesterday. Enough things had happened in the past two days. They did not want to dig deeper, and the intricate tangles would create a larger hidden reef.
No wonder Miss Ah Li had to stay up all night last night. This was really tricky and complicated.
After picking up the pearls in the pawn shop, Xia Zhaoyi said: "Today I went to the pawn shop to make a little fuss. Not long after, the shopkeeper sent a guy out. I thought I was going to Jingyun Tower, but I went in the opposite direction.
I don’t know where it is. But it doesn’t matter, because no matter where he goes, I will intercept him halfway. I sent someone to follow him and lead him away.”
"Where to lead?" Kang Jian was curious.
"Well... it's a place where you can ask questions quietly without being disturbed."
"Well, then, who did Miss Ali send?"
"I found someone randomly, a person who looks very fierce, difficult to deal with, and very short of money," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Tomorrow at six o'clock, this person will go to the teahouse across the street to wait for me, but I have already left Hengxiang
Yes, so you need to go. According to what I wrote in the pamphlet, just wear brown clothes and a red rope embellished with jade bracelet, and he will take you to see that guy."
Kang Jian understood: "...What we are doing is kidnapping and imprisoning."
"If you feel that the guy is pitiful and suffered such an unreasonable disaster, you can bring some medical expenses there. Also, questioning is not the only purpose," Xia Zhaoyi smiled faintly, "The guy who went out didn't come back all night, and he has been on tenterhooks these past few days.
The pawnshop owner couldn't sit still, so he either sent more people to find the person, or went there himself. No matter what, you add a few more firewood to the fire to make it burn brighter."
"Okay," Kang Jian nodded, "Then, what should we do with that guy?"
"After five days, I will send a letter with my handwriting to Captain Qiu, and then I will have this guy put at the gate of the government office. We don't need to worry about the rest. This guy will never dare to tell others what he has betrayed."
"It seems that the girl made arrangements for this guy's disappearance in the past few days in the letter."
"I'm just a young man who supports my family," Xia Zhaoyi's voice lowered, "I don't like to affect other people's lives, and I don't like to involve innocent people at will, but when encountering some things, my principles will inevitably be broken, so let me
He goes back to his original life."
Kang Jian laughed and said seriously: "Miss Ali, you can rest assured that I will handle these letters, as well as any changes and emergencies that may occur later, and I will adapt accordingly!"
"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi also smiled, "Thank you very much."
