Chapter 164 Yangzhou Governor ([-])
After arriving at Yuyuan Palace, Ye Lingjue asked Dong Mo to bring a small pine green flowerpot. He shoveled soil from the flower bed and planted it himself. Ye Lingxi squatted opposite, holding his face in his hands, watching quietly.Seeing that she was looking at it interestingly, Ye Lingjue handed her the flower shovel and instructed her on how to plant it. The two of them were cats in the shadow of the flowers. At first glance, they looked like thieves, as if they were discussing where to open the door and pick the lock. …

Looking at the little head carefully spreading the soil in front of him, his peach blossom eyes were filled with a soft smile, just like the spring snow melting on the branches, warm and elegant, the light refracted by the lights shone on the skin as transparent and delicate as white jade, like There is a faint flow of brilliance.

"Second brother, does my hair look good?" Ye Lingxi asked while lowering his head to spread the soil, as if he had a pair of eyes on the top of his head.

Ye Lingjue was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that "he was caught in a crime", then he smiled lightly and asked Dong Mo to get a glass of water.

After a while, Dong Mo brought a glass of water. Ye Lingjue picked up the glass of water and slowly poured it into the soil along the wall. "The weather is not warm enough now, so we need to use charcoal fire to warm it." Mo said yes and handed the flower pot to Dong Mo and asked him to put it in the small study room at the back. Dong Mo said yes again and left holding the flower pot.

"Second brother,"

"It's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

After entering the palace, Ye Lingjue asked someone to bring a basin of hot water, and asked Ye Lingxi to wash her hands first. After she wiped her hands clean, she asked someone to bring a cup of hot milk tea, and then handed over the account books and Mrs. Fang's affairs. Told her once.

Ye Lingxi listened to the whole story while drinking tea. He didn't expect that there would be such a twist in it.

But whose interests are involved in the case of Danyang County Sheriff?
She thought for a while and suddenly thought of a question. Why did the strange hero pretending to be Guard Fang send the mother and son to the capital? It must be what the real Guard Guard Fang said before he died. For example, he knew that the killer was from the capital. The most dangerous places are often the easiest to conceal. The people behind the scenes probably wouldn't have thought that the people they wanted to kill would fall into the trap themselves, so this strange and righteous hero sent the mother and son here. Capital City, the courage is quite good.

However, could the person who sent the killer and the person who poisoned Lord Qiu be the same person?Who is this strange hero? Is he really just an accidental encounter with a family of three who are being hunted, or does he have some ulterior motive?

Also, what happened to the strange hero who said he was tricked into coming to the capital as a scapegoat? If the guard was really tricked into coming to the capital, why was he hunted down on the road again? What about the account book he carried with him? Who is it for?
Seeing Ye Lingxi's pensive look, Ye Lingjue said: "Now Mrs. Fang and Mr. Fang should have been placed in a safe place by Commander Wu. The account book should also be in Commander Wu's hands. The people behind the scenes must not have expected it. Until the unknown hero appears." At this point, he paused, "However, there is something strange."

"Please give me some advice from my second brother," Ye Lingxi said, cupping his fists.

Ye Lingjue smiled lightly and said, "It's getting dark soon. I'll have someone take you back first."

Just in time, Dong Mo walked in from outside the door. Ye Lingjue asked him to bring two more people with him, and also asked him to hold the light glazed gauze lamp to illuminate.

"Lingxiong."

Hearing the voice behind her, she turned her head. Ye Lingjue smiled slightly and said two words, "It looks good."

Good-looking, what is good-looking?
After following Dong Mo out of Yuyuan Palace, she realized what those two words meant.

……

On the way back, Ye Lingxi kept thinking about what that strange thing was. Although everything seemed strange from the moment the strange hero appeared, her second brother could still remain calm even when he put a knife on someone's neck. The calmness of "picking up vegetables", this strange thing must be... very strange, but what exactly is it?When they were near the koi pond, a figure walked over.

Ye Lingxi took a closer look and saw that it was Xiao Anzi.After saluting, Xiao Anzi said: "The princess is feeding the fish, princess, would you like to go and take a look." She looked behind Xiao Anzi, and the figures beside the pool were moving, and she could vaguely make out the maroon cloak on Meng Jingxiu's body. , becoming more and more bright and vivid in the light of the lights, she suddenly felt a feeling of "a young man doesn't know what it is like to be sad", and rubbed her face vigorously to drive away the sentimental mood of spring and autumn, and cheer up her spirit. , walked over with brisk feet.

Meng Jingxiu was watching with relish the fat carp in the water moving back and forth like butterflies. Suddenly a hand reached out to her shoulder and patted her. The suddenness startled her, and the fat carp in the water also cheered. And scattered.She looked back and saw that it was Ye Lingxi, who put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet, "Okay, if you dare to scare me, see how I deal with you~" Ye Lingxi said that she was timid, and ran away after saying that. Before he could run more than ten meters, he was overtaken by the people behind him.

Just as Meng Jingxiu was about to "retaliate," Ye Lingxi hissed softly, pointed in front of her, and put her hands to her ears to listen.Meng Jingxiu also listened carefully, but she didn't hear anything. She quietly took two steps forward, put both hands to her ears and listened, but still heard nothing. When she turned her head, she realized that she had been deceived. .

This time, she chased him for dozens of meters before catching him.

Ye Lingxi hissed again and pointed forward, "Sister Jing'er, do you see anyone in the pavilion?" When Meng Jingxiu saw that there was indeed a figure moving in the pavilion in front of her, she put aside her thoughts of "revenge".

The two quietly moved near the pavilion, and heard a woman's soft and charming voice calling out to the prince, as if flirting. Meng Jingxiu blushed and pulled Ye Lingxi away.

After running to a safe location, Meng Jingxiu suppressed her blush and cursed shamelessly. She was even more convinced that Murongze was a lecherous and shameless person who might have some quirks. She ordered Ye Lingxi to stay away from this person, and asked Ye Lingxi to stay away from him. Her second brother also stayed away, lest her second brother be led astray.

At this time, Dong Mo hurried over with the glazed gauze lantern and took the two of them back.

On the other side, Commander Wu was stopped by a man after coming out of the royal study.

"Is Commander Wu going to leave the palace?" Yuan Luo came over and asked, his embroidered clothes shining coldly under the palace lanterns.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Yuan?" Commander Wu said simply.

Yuan Luo said: "We are all working for the emperor. If Commander Wu needs help in any way, please don't be polite."

Commander Wu thanked him and left.

After leaving the palace, the subordinate who stayed at the inn reported two things to Yuan Luo.

The guests that Commander Wu took away were a mother and son.

The two were dressed in ordinary clothes and were accompanied by a man. The man disappeared after leaving in the morning.
