Xu Yin raised his head and saw the guards dragging two bodies onto the river beach.
She got up and walked over, and found that it belonged to the two dead soldiers, not Xue Ru and the boatman.
"Didn't you find the other two people?"
The guard in charge of the search reported: "No, we searched everywhere and couldn't find anyone."
Xu Yin's face darkened.
Xue Ru was injured first and then fell into the water, so the possibility of survival was very small. However, her past life experience made her believe in a law: things that you don't want to happen will often happen.
The master and servant of the Yan family also came over. The young master Yan didn't notice anything. He stepped forward to inspect the bodies and said, "I hit the vital parts of these two people, but the boatman was not injured. He may have rescued them."
Xu Yin looked at him without speaking.
The young man felt guilty when she saw him, and said: "It's not me who let her run away. With so many of you watching, you can still let her run away..."
Xu Yin sneered, turned to Wei Jun and asked, "Where is Manager Ji?"
Wei Jun replied: "Manager Ji sent a message earlier, saying he would come as soon as the cooking is done."
Xu Yin nodded, sat down and waited.
Mr. Yan was unsure of her attitude and couldn't help but ask: "Hey, what do you mean?"
Xu Yin was in a bad mood, and his tone was not very good: "What are you feeding me? Who are you calling?"
"Okay." Mr. Yan looked helpless and bowed to her, "I wonder what I call you, Miss?"
Xu Yin said: "Young Master is also from a famous family. Don't you know that you have to tell yourself your family background before asking people?"
Mr. Yan made an update and had to say again: "My surname is Yan, and I am the second in line in my family. I wonder what I call my young lady?"
Xu Yin curled his lips and said that he wanted to introduce himself to his family, but he didn't even say his name. How sincere.
But forget it, even if he gave his name, she wouldn't know who it was, just Yan Er.
"My surname is Xu, Xingsan." She said lazily as courtesy.
"Xu San..." Yan Er's expression was a little subtle, "It turns out to be Miss Xu San."
Xu Yin looked at him in surprise: "You actually know?"
Yan Er smiled and said: "Who doesn't know about the two sisters of the Xu family?"
Hearing what he said, Xu Yin's face darkened.
The two sisters of the Xu family are coveted because of their great reputation.
Horse hooves were heard on the road, and not long after, Ji Jing led the people there.
"Miss Third." He dismounted and came over to salute.
Xu Yin responded: "How are you doing there?"
Ji Jing shook his head: "I caught a few people, but they all..."
Xu Yin was not surprised at all. Since he was a dead soldier, he would definitely commit suicide if he failed.
Ji Jing looked at the master and servant of the Yan family and asked warily: "Miss Third, what's going on here?"
Xu Yin was too lazy to explain and asked Wei Jun to explain the matter again.
Ji Jing's gaze towards Yan Er became meaningful.
Xu Yin asked: "Manager Ji, what do you think we should do about this?"
Ji Jing's eyes met with hers, and they had a tacit understanding. He smiled and said, "Let the younger one handle it."
Xu Yin nodded and let it go.
Ji Jing walked over and saluted, "Second Young Master Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you. My surname is Ji Mingjing, the manager of the Governor's Office."
He was so polite that Yan Er became serious and returned the courtesy: "Nice to meet you, Manager Ji."
He is quite tall and has a slender figure. Although his body is stained with blood and looks messy, he salutes in such a dignified manner, which shows that his manners are elegant and extraordinary, and he looks like he comes from a well-known family.
It's really strange. Which family does this Yan Er belong to? Is it really a branch of the Zhaoguo Duke's mansion? Why has she never heard of it in her previous life?
"I have heard about the previous incident. We were eager to catch the thief, but we did not consider everything carefully. As a result, the Second Master Yan lost his mount. I hope you won't be offended."
This Yan Er thought he was a soft-spoken man, but Ji Jing's kind words softened his attitude quickly and said, "I was the one who was impulsive. You were hunting for bandits, and others jumped in rashly. No wonder you don't believe it."
Ji Jing just smiles and makes sense.
"The governor's office has said that we will pay for the loss of the young master's mount because of us. However, this place is remote and there is no place to buy a horse even if we give him some silver. Moreover, the young master's horse is not an ordinary thing and cannot be bought easily. I wonder if the young master is willing to go with him?
Let's go back to the city, wait for a good horse to be found, and then compensate the young master?"
As soon as he heard this, the follower Yan Ji became anxious. He tugged on Yan Er's sleeve and whispered: "Master, we still have something important to do!"
Ji Jing smiled slightly: "Master, you want to visit relatives? This road is to Yongcheng. There is chaos there. You might as well wait. Although our Nanyuan is small, we have all the troops and horses. You can wait and feel more stable."
, and then go over there.”
All the reasons were given, and I was really embarrassed to refuse.
Yan Er smiled: "Since Manager Ji sincerely invites you, I will live up to your good intentions."
Ji Jing nodded happily: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, for your understanding. After we finish, we will return to the city."
"Hard."
Watching Ji Jing walk away, Yan Ji pulled Yan Er and whispered quietly while avoiding people.
"Sir, why did you just agree to go to Nanyuan?"
Yan Eryi spread his hands: "I sincerely invite you, I'm sorry!"
Yan Ji was anxious: "We have something serious to do when we come out this time, so we can't delay it!"
Yan Er waved his hands indifferently: "Didn't you listen to what he said? Yongcheng is in chaos."
"Then I have to go..."
"On the contrary, if you stay in Nanyuan, it might be easier to find out the news. You think, after all, Nanyuan is just a state capital. In order to gain a foothold, they must be very concerned about the surrounding forces. If Yongcheng is in chaos, they will definitely be the first to get the news.
.”
That makes so much sense!
Yan Ji was convinced at first, then saw his eyes on Xu Yin, and became suspicious again, asking: "Young Master really thinks so? Isn't it because Miss Xu San is beautiful?"
Yan Er seemed to be insulted and glared at him and said, "Master, am I such a lustful person?"
Yan Ji thought for a moment: "You were indeed not the one before, but in such a short period of time, you have already seen Miss Xu San seven or eight times."
"..." Yan Er corrected firmly, "I'm just curious! Isn't it strange that a girl from her family would come out to hunt for bandits in the middle of the night?"
The more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case, and scolded: "Are you the young master or am I the young master? I said stay, why are there so many words?"
Yan Ji looked at him speechlessly for a while, then nodded helplessly: "Okay, you are the master, you have the final say."
On the other side, Ji Jing went back to resume his duties.
"He agreed to stay."
Xu Yin nodded: "That's good. This person has extremely high martial arts skills and a mysterious origin. He suddenly appeared in Nanyuan, and I don't know what his intentions are. I also ask Manager Ji to pay more attention and look for opportunities to find out his identity."
"yes."
The guards searched around again, and found that there was indeed no trace of Xue Ru and the boatman, so they had to temporarily withdraw the team.
Ji Jing ordered: "You take turns here, ask nearby fishermen for help, and try to find the whereabouts of the female thief as much as possible."
"yes."
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Xu Yin ordered the whole team: "Go back to the city."
