The owner of Qingxian Pavilion sent Yu Qiansi and Boyi to the carriage familiarly and drove out of Pingkangfang.
"When did you become so familiar with the owner of the Qingxian Pavilion? Looking at the way he interacts with you, it doesn't look like you've just met him."
"It's nothing, I just had a cup of tea with him when I had nothing to do."
Yu Qiansi lifted up the carriage curtain and looked at the sky. They had just sent Yayin back to the Qingxian Pavilion. They also told the owner of the pavilion to protect Yayin recently and report to the Criminal Division at any time if there was anything unusual.
At this time, Pingkangfang was getting busy, and it was difficult for carriages and horses to move. I didn't know if I could get back to the Criminal Division in front of the lower office.
She threw down the curtain and felt helpless: "If you hadn't been blocking me during the day, we would have been able to return to Beijing in the afternoon. It has been wasted for so long, and it is almost dark now."
Yao Guang was lucky enough to say that Sui Feng wished he could take a rest every day. Seeing that he was not around all day and night, he must have slipped away early.
Boyi smiled and said nothing, frowning and looking at her: "Aru, you really can't see it?"
"Can't you see anything?"
There were only those clues in that villa, could it be that I had missed something else?
Boyi held his forehead and shook his head, then rolled under the wheel with a sigh.
"It's nothing. You are very powerful. You didn't leave any useful clues."
Sui Feng is right. This person who is responsible for the punishment is extremely slow to deal with other things except breaking prisons and investigating cases.
Whether it's your own or someone else's.
Before the carriage stopped, the two of them heard the whistling sound of Sui Feng.
"Sir! Something bad is going on!"
It's more surprising than heavy. It doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Boyi jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and extended his arm to help Yu Qiansi down.
"What's the big deal?"
Suifeng had already forgotten the important thing he wanted to say just now, blinked and asked: "Sir, are you and brother Boyi... going to become local masters?"
Although the two of them had simply washed themselves, they were still covered in dust, not to mention Boyi's sleeves and robe corners, as if they had been gnawed by wild dogs.
Boyi also followed his gaze and looked at his robe, and expressed his long-standing dissatisfaction: "Master Yu, I really don't understand. I read in the script that when treating someone else's injury, he would tear off his own sleeves and robe corners."
, you are good, you always only tear me apart."
This nice new outfit was ruined again.
Yu Qiansi and Sui Feng Yaoguang turned to look over, very puzzled: "I've already treated your injuries. If I don't tear off your clothes, why should I, a healer, tear them off?"
Boyi looked at Yaoguang and Suifeng as if asking for help, but found that they also had expressions of taking it for granted, and the corners of their mouths twitched involuntarily.
From top to bottom, the Criminal Division must be so slow... Sui Feng and Yao Guang must have no one they like.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the two mud marks on the corners of his sleeves, and said in a muffled voice: "Then can you promise me that you...can heal the injury, but you can't ruin my clothes because of others in the future?"
It’s dirty, okay?”
Such a little thing deserves such righteous words.
Yu Qiansi looked at Boyi's expression for a long time, then nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you."
"Suifeng, you haven't left the office yet, are you waiting for me?"
"Sir, something big happened! You were not here last night, and the palace——"
"I already know what happened in the palace last night."
Suifeng was stunned for a moment, and then spoke again.
Yu Qiansi quickly interrupted: "I also know what happened in the morning today. It's just right that you haven't left. I have something I need you and Yaoguang to do."
At the end, he added: "Just do it, don't ask."
Three sentences in a row made Suifeng choked up, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
I dare you to wait so long after he went to the Yamen. The information he wanted to report was already known to you... Not only that, I still don’t know where your Excellency secretly went last night, and he had to work overtime.
?
I can only do it, but can’t ask?
I looked up at the sky with the wind, with tears in my eyes.
God, why can't I think about it? If I went home directly after leaving office, wouldn't there be so many things?
Yaoguang patted Sui Feng on the head to remind him to come back to his senses and listen to his orders.
Sui Feng cupped his hands and reluctantly said "Here" before being torn apart by Yao Guang.
"I understand that you asked Sui Feng to check out the news about that villa. But why did you ask Yao Guang to keep an eye on various government offices and the markets in Beijing?"
At this time, the two of them had freshened up, changed their clothes, and reunited in front of the stall that Yu Qiansi often went to, eating their first serious meal of the day.
"If I were the person behind the scenes, and now that I have finished causing trouble in the palace, I will definitely stir up trouble among the people. As long as Yao Guang keeps an eye on the trends, it will not be difficult to guess who is behind this person.
What do you want to do?"
Yu Qiansi rubbed her aching stomach. The only thing she ate today was a few pieces of pastries left by the young master when she left in the morning. She couldn't care about anything else now, she had to have a good meal.
But before he even moved his chopsticks, Boyi moved the spicy food she ordered to the corner of the table farthest from her, and pushed a bowl of pure white beef noodle soup in front of her.
"I've been hungry all day, so let's eat this."
Yu Qiansi stared at Boyi with a smug look on his face, dropped the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup.
I reluctantly took a few mouthfuls of hot soup, and my stomach felt much better.
Looking up, Boyi had already divided a small portion of her usual spicy braised food into an empty plate.
"You won't be able to sleep well tonight if you don't eat this. Just have hot noodle soup, which won't hurt your stomach so much." He handed the small plate of spicy braised pork to her again, pretending to be cold: "But it's just
I can eat so much.”
The smoke of fireworks surrounding the two of them made the clean smile of the woman in red look even brighter.
Seeing that she rarely slept well, eating two mouthfuls of noodles before choosing a mouthful of spicy braised noodles, squinting her eyes and looking very satisfied, Boyi couldn't help but laugh along with her.
Old streets, old houses, broken tables, side dishes.
The two sat shoulder to shoulder.
It would be great if it could always be like this.

In the early morning of the next day, when Sui Feng dragged his empty steps and brought the news he had been researching all night to the door of the Punishment Department, he saw Yao Guang standing in the shade of the tree holding his sword, looking at the Yamen Gate pretending to be solemn.
appearance.
He moved over, followed Yao Guang's gaze, and said feebly: "Aren't they just those old beggars? What's so strange about them?"
Without even looking at the man in red, he knew that he was the man in his family who had ordered him to search for clues all night and kept him awake all night.
As usual, she took out a handful of coins from her arms, counted them, bent down and threw five coins into each of the broken bowls.
"Have you ever felt that adults have become more humane recently?"
Sui Feng glanced at Yao Guang with resentment and pointed at the black spots under his eyes.
"You call this human touch?"
From the beginning of this year to now, the Criminal Division has not had a few days off. The two of them are even more miserable. They are ordered from morning to night. How can this be called humane?
Yao Guang glanced at him, gave him a look that said, "You can't carve out rotten wood", took a step back and kicked him out from under the shade of a tree, right in front of Yu Qiansi.
Suifeng saw clearly the expression on Yu Qiansi's face who suddenly turned around to look at him, and understood what Yaoguang meant.
