What is Qi Lian's real purpose, Ban Xiyu herself is not fully sure.Although she was skeptical, she didn't have enough evidence to prove that Qi Lian had a ulterior motive - at least for now, Qi Lian didn't show much of a flaw.

In the absence of evidence, the speculation they made relying on various signs is just an untenable statement.If you want to confirm the authenticity of what Qi Lian said, you still have to verify his details first.

And this matter can only be left to Fu Guan to do.

Thinking of this, Ban Xiyu asked again: "By the way, Brother Wen, what happened to the gangsters we met on the way? Have you confirmed that they are refugees from Nanhuai Mansion?"

Hearing the word "refugees", Wen Jisheng sighed softly, and said, "Although Qi Lian's words cannot be trusted, he is right in one sentence - the robbers we saw on the way are really wandering around. The people of Nanhuai Mansion."

Wen Jisheng continued: "I saw that they didn't seem like veterans who sneaked around, so I kept my hands a little bit. But I didn't expect that although they were not good at using knives and guns, they escaped quickly."

He speculated that those refugees should have discussed the method of escape in advance, so they separated and fled immediately when the whole line was defeated.Hearing the sound of silence, he was unable to catch up, and only caught the slowest running young man.

After some questioning, Wen Jisheng realized that they were kicked out by the county government of Xunjiang Town.

"The county magistrate of Xunjiang Town forcibly moved these people out of the city, saying that the city could not accommodate too many refugees. You also know that they were homeless and were expelled. In desperation, they had to make a living elsewhere. road……"

In order to make a living, the expelled people had to find shelter in ruined temples in the nearby mountains.

There are old and young among them.The younger ones followed the mature men to rob and hunt on the official roads down the mountain; the older ones, as well as some weak women, stayed at the stronghold to take care of the elderly and children.

Wen Jisheng originally wanted the young man to take him to their stronghold to have a look, but the young man played tricks and deliberately took a detour in the woods, forcing his companions to come to support him.

Not only that, they also carefully set traps in the forest, and they didn't notice the silence for a while, and under their negligence, they escaped from under their noses.

Wen Jisheng hesitated for a moment between continuing to chase and return to Xunjiang Town, and finally chose to join Ban Xiyu first.

"In this case, the most urgent thing is to take care of the refugees." Ban Xiyu said, and immediately edited a letter, writing all about the refugees and the drug dealer Qi Lian on paper, and then ordered the guards to hurry up and deliver the letter to Fu Guanshou as soon as possible superior.

After solving the official business, it's time to take care of the "private matter".

While drinking the hot soup, Ban Xiyu asked, "Brother Wen, are you... in a bad mood today?" She glanced at the other person's expression, then at the food that hadn't been touched in front of him, and said:

"It seems that I don't have a good appetite, but the dishes don't suit my appetite?"

She secretly thought, in fact, it is not the first time that Wen Jisheng has such a weird behavior.

Ever since meeting Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan in Guiyan Village, Wen Jisheng's mood seems to have changed from good to bad.

Ban Xiyu remembered that Wen Jisheng showed such obvious hostility towards others as before, and it was the last time he confronted Fu Guan in Ban's mansion.

Thinking of this, Ban Xiyu's heart suddenly moved.

Her heart was beating fast and powerfully, and vaguely, there seemed to be an unusually sore feeling gushing out.

Ban Xiyu silently raised her eyes, and unexpectedly met Wen Jisheng's gaze.She felt that the moment when their eyes crossed was infinitely extended——

The emotion hidden in the eyes of the other party is almost self-evident. If she is more transparent, she will be able to see the meaning behind it at a glance.

But after looking at each other briefly, Ban Xiyu quickly looked away again.

At this time, Wen Jisheng didn't know that his hidden secret was almost discovered, and he thought it was just an ordinary gaze.

He said: "..." He was speechless for a moment, and then took a sip of tea silently: "It's nothing, it's just hot and lazy."

Apart from this, could he still say that he was unhappy because he saw her talking so much with Qi Lian?
Naturally, such straightforward words cannot be said.

No reason, just because he didn't have that position.

What kind of person is he? To put it mildly, he is Ban Xiyu's life-and-death acquaintance, a life-and-death friendship.But no matter how deep the relationship is, it cannot cross the line of friends.

From the standpoint of a friend, Wen Jisheng asked himself that he had no right to restrict what kind of people Ban Xiyu associates with.Even if they have a further relationship, he can't define her freedom in this way.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have become a wall preventing Ban Xiyu from advancing?
This is not something that the silent voice would like to see.

What's more... He looked at Ban Xiyu calmly, and the worry that had plagued him for a long time resurfaced in his heart: she traveled to the rivers and lakes on a whim, how long can she stay in this green forest far away from the hustle and bustle of the imperial court?

In the middle of the night, there was silence inside and outside the post house.Under the long corridor lit with bright red lanterns, there are guards patrolling.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps not far away. The guard followed the prestige, stopped him immediately, and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop! Who are you? Don't you know that there is a curfew right now, and you can't come in and out at will? "

"Hey, wait a minute, I recognize him, don't do anything yet." The accompanying guard suddenly said, "Aren't you the servant next to Mr. Qi, why are you running in and out in the middle of the night?"

While speaking, the guard glanced at what the boy was holding in his hand: "What is this?"

Hearing this, the young servant immediately apologized with a smile and said, "Look at the two guards, Ming Jian, this is the soothing soup that I prepared for our young master. Our young master doesn't sleep well at night, so he needs to use the soothing soup to sleep well."

While talking, the young servant opened the food box and showed the guard a cup of soup inside: "This soup should have been prepared in the first place, but I was so busy during the day that I forgot about it, so I was in a hurry Let's make a cup."

He smiled and apologized: "The matter is urgent, and the villain can't help it. I have caused trouble to the two guards tonight, and I hope you will forgive me."

One of the guards said with a stern face: "Since it is such an important matter, why didn't we know that it was ready? We were so sneaky in the middle of the night, we thought it was a thief..."

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, isn't it okay?" Another guard pushed his companion, and said, "It's okay, you go in. Don't make your master wait."

"Hey, okay. Thank you, brother guard!"

The boy nodded and bowed, and immediately took the food box and trotted away after thanking him.

A moment later, a dark courtyard door was opened, and a servant knocked on Qi Lian's door: "Master, there is a letter from Nanhuai Mansion!"
