Chapter 284 Beware
Xie Rugu glanced at the dishes on the table, but frowned almost invisible.

He looked at Song Shiyun subconsciously.

But Song Shiyun didn't move his chopsticks.

Magistrate Xu really put a lot of effort into this table of dishes, but there were nothing that Song Shiyun liked.

On the contrary, there were several dishes that Song Shiyun would never eat.

Looking at the dishes of animal offal, Xie Rugu frowned even more.

Immediately, he looked at the waiter next to him and said, "Let's serve a few more dishes."

Everyone at the table suddenly looked towards Xie Rugu.

Magistrate Xu asked with concern: "But these dishes are not to the prince's taste?"

Xie Rugu said calmly: "Although I spent a lot of money, it is really not to my liking."

County Magistrate Xu: "..."

He was just saying polite words, but he didn't expect that Xie Ruji really didn't give him any face.

Magistrate Xu smiled coquettishly and said, "Whatever the Lord wants to eat, I will immediately tell them to do it."

Xie Rugu looked at the waiter and said, "Add a stir-fried shrimp, crab stuffed with orange, and crispy meat roll."

When the waiter heard this, he subconsciously looked at Magistrate Xu.

Magistrate Xu couldn't help but glared when he saw this, "The prince asked you to go, why don't you go quickly?!"

The waiter then said yes and ran to the kitchen with the tray in his arms.

At this time, Song Shiyun stared at Xie Rugu in surprise.

There is no other reason. The dishes Xie Rugu mentioned are all Song Shiyun's favorites.

Although today is not the time to eat crabs, as long as you have money and want to eat, there is nothing you can't eat.

And those dishes...

It may not be Xie Rugu’s favorite food.

At least the two of them spent a lot of time eating together, and Song Shiyun still had some understanding of Xie Rugu's taste.

Song Shiyun stared at Xie Rugu and suddenly had an idea.

That is……

Xie Rugu opened this mouth because of her.

Song Shiyun's heart skipped a beat.

While she was staring at Xie Rugu, Xie Rugu also looked over.

Meeting her gaze, Xie Rugu smiled gently without any hint of teasing.

Song Shiyun's eyebrows and her heart beat a few times, and she felt embarrassed that she had been caught peeping. She quickly turned her head away, not having the nerve to stare at Xie Rugu anymore.

Thank you as usual but smiled and said nothing.

When the waiter served the dishes again, Xie Ru reached out and moved the dishes in front of Song Shiyun, and then quietly moved the dishes with animal offal away from Song Shiyun. Some.

Song Shiyun noticed this scene and couldn't help but be stunned.

Xie Rugu didn't take it seriously, as if it was too ordinary. While placing the tea in front of Song Shiyun, he still had time to inquire about the recent situation of Xiping Official Road with Magistrate Xu.

He inquired and found that there seemed to be other accidents around Xiping Official Road.

Magistrate Xu shook his head, "Wei Zeng, this is my first time to respect you."

Xie Rugu asked again: "Have there ever been other, more strange things?"

Magistrate Xu still shook his head, "No."

Xiping Guandao is not too far from the capital.

After all, at the 'foot of the Emperor', how could anyone dare to make a mistake here?

Banditry has never appeared here.

All year round, everything is peaceful.

Jing Yuanyi's case is the biggest case that County Magistrate Xu has encountered in his many years of service.

It was also the only thing Magistrate Xu had seen in his life.

Song Shiyun looked at Xie Rugu who was chatting with Magistrate Xu, and then at the hot water in front of him. After a moment of silence, he picked up the tea cup, took a sip of water, and then slowly ate the dishes. .

From the beginning to the end of the feast, Song Shiyun only touched a few dishes.

Xie Rugu caught a glimpse of her looking like a little hamster, and the corners of her lips curled up invisibly.

Thanks to Ruji's special care, Song Shiyun enjoyed the meal to his liking.

Zhenren Zhou rarely had a full meal.

I've been eating and sleeping in the open for the past two days, so I can't eat well.

After finally having a full meal, when he put down the bowl and chopsticks, Master Zhou looked satisfied.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Xu asked in an awkward manner: "Zhen Zhenren, do you think the food is okay?"

Zhou Zhenren wiped his mouth, touched his round belly, and said with satisfaction: "Very good, very good."

Magistrate Xu felt relieved, "As long as the real person is satisfied."

As he said that, he looked at Xie Ruji who was sitting next to him. He originally wanted to ask, but thinking of Xie Ruji's previous attitude, he chose to keep silent.

After several people finished eating, they did not stay in the post house for long.

Song Shiyun still wanted to go to the scene. As soon as she mentioned it, Master Zhou nodded, "Yes, it's time for us to go to the scene too." Magistrate Xu smiled flatteringly, "Then shall I go with you?"

Wang Xuan said without thinking, "I'll go with you, too."

Zhenren Zhou still needs them to lead the way, so he will naturally not refuse.

Song Shiyun looked at them and said nothing.

The group of people set off together.

But when setting off, Xie Rugu got on Song Shiyun's carriage.

At that time, Song Shiyun was already sitting on the carriage and thought he would set off soon.

Unexpectedly, the car curtain was lifted.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Rugu got in.

Song Shiyun couldn't help but be stunned, "You... don't want to ride a horse?"

Xie Rugu sat down next to Song Shiyun. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why, the second sister wants me to go out?"

Song Shiyun was just about to speak, but something flashed in her mind about Xie Rugu's behavior at the dinner table. She paused, and when she spoke, she changed her expression, "If you want to ride in a carriage, just take a carriage."

Anyway, the space inside the carriage is not small, more than enough for the two of them.

Seeing this, Xie Rugu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Then he thought of something and smiled.

He could feel that the thorns on Song Shiyun's body, which had always been like a little hedgehog, began to soften.

However, Xie Ru was not aggressive.

Sometimes, you have to let go appropriately.

Xie Rugu then smiled faintly, looked at Song Shiyun, and talked about the business, "During the dinner just now, why did the second sister stop Master Zhou from telling Wang Xuan and others the known clues?"

The anonymous letter clues thrown out by Song Shiyun were false.

Both Xie Rugu and Zhou Zhenren knew it.

When Song Shiyun heard this, he did not hide anything from Xie Ru: "Because, I don't believe them."

Xie Ru paused, "Why?"

Song Shiyun frowned at first, then shook his head, "I don't know what to say, it's just a feeling. The other party even used the soul-breaking array, so he must not be an ordinary person, whether he is an evil cultivator or a sect. It's possible that they were caught in the act, and there were any changes when using the soul-breaking array or killing people, but the local Xuanmen said they didn't notice it, so I had some doubts. Did the local Xuanmen really not notice it, or were they covering them up?"

Besides these, there is another reason.

"There is a spirit-detecting array in the local supervisory office. If it is like my hexagram, and there is something evil, the spirit-detecting array should respond and feed it back to the Tiansi Bureau. However, the spirit-detecting array seems to have no reaction now. There are only two There is a possibility that either the spirit detection array itself is broken, or it is destroyed by others."

However, when Song Shiyun was Princess Shiyu, she had just built the spirit-detecting arrays in various places. In just two or three years, it was impossible for the spirit-detecting arrays to break.

Then the only possibility is the latter.

That is to be ruined.

However, Song Shiyun still had some doubts as to whether this was caused by evil spirits.

Therefore, she did not make an immediate conclusion.

However, it is necessary to be on guard against others. It is better to be wary of Magistrate Xu and Wang Xuan.

Hearing this, Xie Rugu nodded thoughtfully, "It does make some sense."

Song Shiyun glanced at him and said, "Wait a while, we need to observe them more. If it is really related to the local magistrate or Xuanmen, the two of them should show something."

She felt that Xie Ru was a smart man.

You should be able to tell if they have a problem.

When Xie Rugu heard this, he looked at Song Shiyun teasingly, "Second sister, do you believe me so much?"

Song Shiyun was stunned and frowned suddenly, "I not only believe in you, I also believe in Zhenren Zhou! I believe in everyone who comes from the capital, and I don't just believe in you."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu sighed with regret, "That's it... I thought I was a special one in the heart of the second sister."

As he said that, he turned his head away with some disappointment, his expression was very lost and gloomy.

Song Shiyun: "..."

She felt like a scumbag who had hurt other people's hearts.

Moreover, seeing Xie Ru like this, she was... quite sad.

Song Shiyun pursed his lips, struggled for a moment, and reached out his hand to touch Xie Ruji's shoulder.

Finally he took his hand back.

She coughed and said, "I didn't mean that. The prince... is a good man."

When Xie Rugu heard this, he still looked disappointed, "Is he a good person?"

He smiled bitterly and said, "Second sister, you'd better stop talking."

Song Shiyun: "..."

Isn’t it okay to say that?
Song Shiyun frowned in distress, not knowing what to say.

Pulling at the corner of her clothes, she said hesitantly: "The prince is naturally also... special."

He said, lest Xie Ru think too much.

Song Shiyun quickly added, "I want to say that everyone is unique and special, and the prince is no exception."

Xie Rugu saw her serious look and chuckled, "Second sister, are you so afraid that I will misunderstand you?"
