Yan Ji savored these words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became: "You mean, someone is plotting against Nanyuan? Isn't there something else going on about Xu Inspector's injury?"
Yan Er nodded: "I heard that Fang Yi was Xu Huan's favorite son-in-law. There must be a reason for his sudden death. If you think about it carefully, the person who can attack Xu Huan must be someone close to him."
In just one sentence, the murderous intention contained in it was shocking. Yan Ji was covered in cold sweat and immediately said: "Sir, let's leave quickly, it's too dangerous here."
Yan Er looked indifferent and said, "Yongcheng is ten times more dangerous than here. Is there any point in escaping?"
"..." After hearing what he said, Yan Ji wanted to slap himself.
Why did he listen to the young master's lie and believe that he was going out to find out the news this time? After walking halfway, he told him that he was going to Yongcheng.
What kind of place is Yongcheng? The governor changes every year, and people from the court are assassinated on the way before they arrive.
And unlike other places, it has always been occupied by local snakes. Although the imperial court cannot control it, its power is stable. In Yongcheng, you can sing and I will appear, and the person in charge will change from time to time.
In this case, the young master even took the initiative to approach him and said that Wu Zijing had captured Daliang and would definitely want to seize the Yongcheng sacrificial flag to see what happened.
Look at the ghost, it's obvious that he wants to kill someone to sacrifice the flag.
Ever since he knew the true purpose, Yan Ji had nightmares every day. The young master accidentally lost his horse earlier, and he was happy because he didn't have to go to Yongcheng to die.
But Yan Er also said: "If you want to leave quickly, then let's go to Yongcheng right now?"
Yan Ji immediately changed his mind: "No, no, no, the young master should stay. Governor Xu is so kind, it's so hateful that someone is plotting against his life! The young master must stay and seek justice for them!"
Hearing his indignant expression, Yan Er couldn't help but laugh.
"There is no need for me to seek justice? The Xu family is very powerful. A fourteen-year-old girl can do a decent job in charge. That Fang Yi died without any trouble. I'm afraid the robbers arrested last night also died.
It’s related to this matter.”
Yan Ji took a breath and asked nervously: "Sir, are you saying that those gangsters last night might be the ones plotting Nanyuan? What should we do? You killed those people! Aren't we also involved?
Already?"
Yan Er looked indifferent: "What are you afraid of? This man is so sneaky that he only dares to send out his spies and doesn't dare to show his name. It would make him invisible to others. What should I be afraid of?"
Yan Jixin said, of course you are not afraid. Anyway, if you cause trouble, the master will take care of it! There is a wife under the master, and there is an eldest son under the wife... The second son can be so willful.
Yan Er stretched his hands and feet and lay back: "My father is worried about the chaos in Yongcheng, but he is just worried about something happening to Nanyuan. Nanyuan is connected to Daliang, Dongjiang, and Guanzhong. If it falls into the hands of Wu Zijing or Li, next to our bed,
A big tiger will fall asleep. So, the key lies in Nanyuan."
Yanji asked: "Then we need to take Nanyuan first?"
"Of course not." Yan Er said, "As long as Nanyuan is not in chaos and is still in Xu's hands, we cannot move."
"Why?" Yanji was puzzled.
"Some things still need to be paid attention to. If you don't pay attention to them now, it will be too late later."
Yan Ji seems to understand, but he can't lose his justice like Wu Zijing? He is a servant and doesn't understand that much. Anyway, whatever the master says, so be it!
After lying on the bed and thinking for a while, Yan Ji suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Actually, there is a way to get Nan Yuan without losing any blood."
"What?" Yan Er asked casually.
"Doesn't Xu Huan have no son? Young Master, you said that Miss Xu San is now in charge of the house. If you marry Miss Xu San, won't Nanyuan become ours?"
Yan Er suddenly choked on his saliva and coughed repeatedly. Fortunately, the guard fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up.
Yan Ji was very proud: "Sir, don't you think this idea is a good one? You don't have to do anything, and it does what you want."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Er raised his hand to fan himself, feeling that the weather in Nanyuan was indeed a bit hot, "Why did it go as I wanted?"
Yan Ji raised his body and blinked at him: "Isn't it? Otherwise, sir, why would you go spy on others in the middle of the night?"
"I was looking for information..."
Yanji looked like you don't need to explain: "I just want to know the news, and I even went to spy on the lady..."
Unable to explain clearly, Yan Er covered his face in depression: "Forget it, just say whatever you want!"
Yan Ji took it as his acquiescence, and said with a smile: "It is said that the Xu family's twin sisters are stunningly beautiful, and this rumor is not false. Miss Xu San is courageous, and you will be in vain by marrying the young master! In this way, Madam
There is no need to worry about the young master’s marriage. Oh, she won’t be very cruel to the servants, right? Will I be scolded more in the future?”
Seeing that he was already thinking about the future, Yan Er rolled his eyes and decided to sleep.
…
Xu Yin entered Qushui Pavilion and saw her sister still waiting for her.
"You're back? The water is ready. Let's go wash up." Xu Si looked up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.
"Sister, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Xu Si was half complaining, half worried: "How can I sleep if you don't come back? My father, who was a director before, was never like you, going out in the middle of the night!"
Xu Yin smiled and said: "There is still a little tail that needs to be cleaned up, so we won't need it in the future."
Xu Si nodded and found that he was actually very adaptable to his sister's changes.
Thinking about how unpredictable things are, she used to take care of her younger sister. Unexpectedly, she suddenly encountered a big change, and her younger sister who only knew how to play nonsense grew up to protect her.
"By the way, sister, if the princess or the two county heads come to see you next, remember not to see them." Xu Yin explained.
Xu Si was puzzled: "Why?"
Xu Yin smiled at her: "I have detained Prince Nan'an in Mingde Tower."
Xu Si was shocked: "What? You..." She slowly came back to her senses and showed a sulky expression, "Did the Prince's Office get involved in Fang Yi's matter?"
Xu Yin nodded: "Wait until father wakes up, then deal with him."
Naturally, Xu Si would not have any objections to telling her about her father's illness.
"...Father is getting better day by day. His fingers have been moving today. I really hope to wake up soon."
Xu Yin responded with a smile: "Yes."
While the two sisters were talking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside, as fast as the beating of a drum.
Xu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of the night he just came back.
Xu Si also stopped and listened to the movement outside.
The woman on night duty went to answer the door, and then panicked footsteps came this way, exactly like that night.
Xia Zhi even knocked on the door and rushed into the house. But this time, her face was full of joy: "Miss, Third Miss! Your Excellency is awake!"
