first minister

Chapter 30

Xia Jingyun is gambling.

Bet that he can get the information he wants from the man in front of him.

In the confession just now, the man confessed the general appearance of the killer who came to the door, but there was nothing special about it. Obviously, it was impossible to catch the prisoner with such a confession.

He has no interest in catching the prisoner itself, but if the prisoner is related to the person who is silently watching him, then he is very interested.

So, he wanted to try to see if he could see a clue.

However, if the other party did not move after seeing the man in prison, or did not act within seven days, then this hard-won clue would have to be broken.

That's what gambling is about.

In fact, he also had some speculations about that person's identity, but it's just that such a big matter needs to be corroborated by solid evidence before he can rest assured.

He slowly circled around the man, brushing his fingers over the man's arms and shoulders, and said some strange words.

The man trembled all over at first, thinking that he was about to be tortured.

But then he felt that it would be better to use torture!

He's about to cry, I'm fucking recruited, what are you guys doing!

Xia Jingyun was also very ashamed, but for his own personal safety, he could only pretend to maintain physical contact in this dark, rancid room with a lingering bloody smell, and silently visualized in his heart.

Until the eyes flashed, a picture appeared.

The man was wearing shackles, sitting dejectedly in the cell, the light was dim, and only gave an outline of the cell.

A masked man in black jumped in silently, walked quickly to the prison door, identified it, squatted down, and said in a low voice, "Master Hu, I'll save you."

As soon as the man heard the voice, he quickly moved over and leaned against the cell door.

Unexpectedly, the other party directly grabbed the man's head and slammed it on the solid prison door.

The loud bang bang was clearly audible in the dead of night, but the masked man didn't panic at all. After a few clicks, the picture was interrupted instantly.

What a terrible death Xia Jingyun hastily let go of his hand.

Both parties let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Walking out of the room, Butou Wu and several other police officers immediately greeted him, "My lord, do you have anything?"

Xia Jingyun pondered for a while, "Captain Wu, take a step to speak."

Wu Butou's heart froze, and he quickly invited Xia Jingyun to the next door alone.

Xia Jingyun said in a deep voice: "Wu Butou, this guy did have something clean, the other party is coming to save him."

After hearing this, Catcher Wu smiled, "My lord, that's too much to worry about. Although our place is not comparable to the big prisons in the state or county towns, there are people on duty all day long, and there is only one entrance to the whole cell. It is impossible to rob the prison without alarming us."

People don’t rob the prison, they come to silence them. Xia Jingyun nodded, "I believe that under the leadership of Wu Butou, this cell can be seen as solid. But there is no way to guard against it. The thieves are full of tricks, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions. If there is a mistake, at this critical moment, it will not be embarrassing to the county lord, and it will also lose face in front of many big people."

Wu Butou's face became serious, Xia Jingyun struck while the iron was hot, "The other party's rescue must be a matter of two or three days. Wu Chatou might as well lead his brothers to work harder in these two days, loosen the outside and tighten the inside, and catch a fish once. Then the case will be taken up. At the moment when the concubine is coming, the rich and powerful are gathering, and everyone hopes for peace and tranquility, maybe there is an opportunity for you to rise to the top!"

Wu Butou's heart became hot instantly, and he nodded again and again, "Okay! Let's do it like this!"

By the time he finished these things, Feng Xiuyun had already left.

She is not idle every day, there are many tedious tasks waiting for her to do.

But she still kindly left a guard to Xia Jingyun. Xia Jingyun's heart warmed slightly. After thinking about it, she left the county government office and found a rather clean and tidy jewelry store in the city.

In the store, he picked out a hairpin for Feng Xiuyun.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"

"Guest officer has good eyesight, this hairpin is ten taels of silver."

"So expensive?" Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, and then resorted to the familiar bargaining method, "Cheaper, I often buy things here."

The shopkeeper twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, guest officer, the shop is open today."

I was careless. Embarrassment flashed in Xia Jingyun's heart, and his smile remained unchanged, "So you see, I am the first regular customer of your family!"

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, "The little one will ask you for a lottery, nine taels of silver."

"If you want to ask for a lottery, ask for more! Eight taels of silver! How about it! I wish you wealth from all directions!"

Who doesn't want to be lucky when doing business!
After some tugging and tugging, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! That's eight taels of silver."

Xia Jingyun smiled, "Okay, then pack four for me."

The shopkeeper staggered, "What?"

After a while, Xia Jingyun proudly took four hairpins and went out, and placed them with the guards at Feng Xiuyun's temporary residence.

Feng Xiuyun also just finished her day's work, sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, stretching her body.

When Xia Jingyun walked in, he happened to see a magnificent scene where the green hills on both sides faced each other and a deep ditch stretched.

Xia Jingyun pretended not to see it, and solemnly handed over the hairpin as a solemn thank you.

Feng Xiuyun hesitated to take it, and then Xia Jingyun said: "I know that your lord spends more than such ordinary things in the palace, but my ability is limited, so I can only use this to express my gratitude. The courtesy is light and the affection is heavy, and I hope the lord will accept it."

What is my relationship with you? Feng Xiuyun has a ghost in her heart, and everything she hears feels like liking her.

Looking at her glowing red ears, Xia Jingyun was surprised, could he really like me?

Sure enough, since ancient times, it was difficult for a hero to enter the beauty pass, but it was easiest for handsome guys!
"Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Ah?" The other party's voice was too low, and Xia Jingyun, who was thinking about it, couldn't hear clearly for a moment.

Feng Xiuyun regained her composure, "I said it's getting late, you should go back first."

Xia Jingyun:? ? ?
"I promised Mr. Zhang that I would visit him. Let's go to another day."

"it is good."

Feng Xiuyun nodded, and said slowly: "Zhang Dazhi is looking for you?"

"Well, I want to ask if there is another method like the pulley earth-moving method. He wants to record it. He also gave me 100 taels of silver last night and said it was a congratulatory gift from Wenkui, so I had to promise him to go there."

"Zhang Dazhi was born as a general supervisor, and he is one of the four master craftsmen under the general supervisor and the junior supervisor. Although his grade is not high, and he is a craftsman, he is not valued, but his vision is not low. The general supervisor is in charge of equipment manufacturing, earthwork transportation and construction, as well as various ingenious objects for the palace. There are countless skilled craftsmen. You must not be careless. Idle things will never catch his eyes."

Hearing Feng Xiuyun's kind and patient reminder, Xia Jingyun smiled, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

Feng Xiuyun pursed her lips arrogantly, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Then let me tell you something related to you?"

Feng Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, and met Xia Jingyun's star-like eyes, which were so dark and deep that she couldn't help but have the urge to fall.

She has always been very utilitarian, and she doesn't know whether her change came from Xia Jingyun's own excellence, or from the stimulation of power, but she can't help but think wildly when she meets this face these days.

"What are you going to say?" Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Xia Jingyun leaned closer, "How is the concubine De's temperament? What kind of hobbies do you usually have?"

After a while, Xia Jingyun walked out embarrassingly touching his nose. This woman turned her back just as she said.

Just now the roots of the ears were red, and the back of his face turned black again.

Play with me, right? I'm good at that too.

Although he is not a prince, he has also played with many princesses. He has experienced many battles, so he naturally knows the reason for Feng Xiuyun's change of face.

But he did it on purpose.

At this juncture, it's better not to mess around with the people around Concubine De.

While thinking, he walked towards the mansion where Zhang Dazhi lived temporarily.
