Jiaohua

Chapter 288
Xia Zhaoyi looked back at their figures, put away the bamboo umbrella, and walked forward.

The rain splashed outside the corridor. Due to the ingenious design of the corridor, there are very few raindrops falling in, but the wind is still cold. In a few days, the first snow will come.

Mr. Qiu's small courtyard is very noisy, and the room is full of people.

When Xia Zhaoyi passed by, it happened that Jiang Er and Jiang San came out of the study.

Xia Zhaoyi stepped forward and shouted, "Mister Xiao."

Jiang Er and Jiang San turned their eyes and looked.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at Jiang Er and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao, I am here to return the books. Please help me return these books to Mr. Qiu."

A neat book wrapped in oiled paper was handed over.

Jiang Er stretched out his hand to take it, and said, "Don't dare to act, dare not act, I'm not a little gentleman."

"What are you borrowing these books for?" Jiang San asked next to him.

"Mr. Xiao is gentle and elegant, and he deserves it," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Jiang Er and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qiu, please thank Mr. Qiu for me."

Jiang Er was embarrassed by the praise, and said, "Well, good."

"Then I'll take my leave." Xia Zhaoyi said.

She turned and left without looking at Jiang San next to her from the beginning to the end.

Jiang Er looked at her back and was in a good mood.

Reminiscing about the four characters of gentleness and elegance, he turned around with the book in his hand, Jiang San grabbed him annoyedly: "You don't want to see if the book here is right or not."

"Of course that's right. No, she braved the heavy rain to deliver it." Jiang Er replied.

"Cut!" Jiang San snorted, looked in the direction where the girl disappeared, paused suddenly, and said, "I finally remembered who she is!"

"what?"

"She came to see Mr. Qiu last time, but I kicked her out!" Jiang San said angrily, "She's taking revenge on me!"

The noise in Mr. Qiu's small courtyard can be heard even after going out for a long time.

Except for his small courtyard, there are not many people walking around in the academy, unlike the academy that has finished classes.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't leave the gate, but went to the side door from before.

The rain is getting less and less, but the sky is getting darker.

Xia Zhaoyi took off the small lotus bag at her waist, took out a small oil ball lamp and wrapped it around her little finger. Although the small ball was small, the light was bright, dangling under her fingertips.

There are several lanterns hanging on the avenue, and the light and shadow hit the outside of the closed calligraphy and ink workshops, which is quite cold.

Xia Zhaoyi was walking alone, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and those people would look over from time to time.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't look over, but gradually frowned.

After reaching the intersection ahead, she stopped and looked back.

The wind became faster and hit her, blowing away the broken hair on her forehead, revealing her cold and red forehead.

Many of those pedestrians were Tian Rongwei.

They didn't recognize her as the wanted girl, but she wouldn't be mistaken.

Tie Zhu mentioned to her a long time ago that those teachers and storytellers were taken away. She went to Qingshan Academy and learned that Guo Ting was not taken away, so she didn't inquire about this matter again, but now Looking at the situation, it seems that Li Ju's hand is about to reach out to Dongping Academy.

"Drive! Drive!"

There was the sound of whips and cart wheels in the distance, rolling over the water and splashing all the way.

The coachman swung his whip and looked up at the girl holding the umbrella in front of him.

The girl's eyes were dark and bright, and she looked at him quietly.

This girl is so pretty.

The coachman thought about it casually, looked away, and slapped the horse's buttocks again with his whip.

The carriage was getting closer and closer to the intersection. When passing by, the coachman looked at the girl again and found that the girl was still looking at him.

A hairy feeling came from the bottom of the coachman's heart.

He raised his whip and hurried away.

At this moment, another whip sounded, and the coachman hurriedly turned around, only in time to see that the whip he had just raised in his hand was entangled by a green whip, and then the force of the carriage rushed him out, who was caught off guard, and fell to the ground. In the rain.

He raised his head in embarrassment, and the girl used the force of the long whip to volley into the carriage and flipped onto the carriage, and sat on the seat where he had been sitting before.

The coachman touched his bleeding face, got up and chased after him: "The car is stolen! Come on! The car is stolen! Master Lu! Master Lu!!"

Before Xia Zhaoyi could sit still, the sound of swords came from inside the carriage.

The long sword stabbed out and missed.

Lu Qianhai opened the curtain with his sword, but there was no one outside.

"I've been looking for you for a long time." A girl's voice came from the top of the carriage.

Lu Qianhai was startled, but he didn't dare to go out. He looked up at the roof inside the car: "Who are you?"

"On the night when Yu Kai's accident happened, you took this carriage to go to Yu's mansion to look for him, right?" the girl asked.

Lu Qianhai's heart trembled, and he said angrily, "Who the hell are you?"

"Your name is Lu Qianhai." The girl said.

Lu Qianhai bit his teeth, and the long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed at the source of the girl's voice.

Missed, missed the stab.

"Yu Kai is dead, did you get the 10 taels of silver from other places?" the girl said with a smile in her voice.

"Who are you!" Lu Qianhai was furious, he drew out his long sword, and stabbed again.

The carriage was still running, the wooden boards in the carriage were extremely thick, and it took too much energy to pierce it, and the rainwater leaked from the holes.

"Come out!" Lu Qianhai shouted.

With a "bang", a crossbow bolt shot from the front and nailed to the wall of the car behind him.

The force was too great, half of the arrow pierced into the wood, and the arrow tail buzzed and trembled.

Lu Qianhai hurriedly looked ahead, his heart skipping a beat.

The flapping car curtain brings in the light and shadow from the outside, and the thin figure of the girl can be seen.

"You were kidnapped by me, if you want to survive, be honest," Xia Zhaoyi raised his green whip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, "drive!"

·
Liang Nai's head was about to grow up.

He was so busy that he hadn't returned home yet, but he received another report.

"Is anyone dead?" Liang Nai asked the Yawei who came in.

Ya Wei shook his head: "No, the carriage was robbed."

"Whose carriage?"

"I didn't say that the person who reported the crime was a resident along the street, but I heard that someone was calling for your lord."

"Call me?"

"No, it's not, it's the coachman calling for the man in the car, I think there's an official in that car." Yawei said.

"Is that so?" Liang Nai was puzzled, "Is it the driver calling, but you just said that the person who reported the case was a resident along the street, so the driver didn't report this case?"

"Che, the driver ran away..." Yawei said with a frown, "This driver is very weird. He was the one who called for help. When everyone came, he didn't want anyone to help. I heard that there was blood on his face. He ran away, and specifically asked not to report the crime."

"Then why do those residents still report the crime?" Liang Nai asked.

If he doesn't report the case, he doesn't need to know. Wouldn't it be good if he didn't know.

Yawei didn't know what to say.

"That's all, since someone has reported the crime, you can find some random people to have a look." Liang Nai said again.

"Lord Zhu has already taken someone there," Ya Wei said, "Because the coachman called Sir, Master Zhu was afraid that it was really an official in court, so he ordered me to report to Sir."

"Since you've gone, that's it." Liang Nai withdrew his gaze, "You go down too."

"Yes, my lord." Yawei replied.
