Chapter 1223 The man under the lamp
For the rest of the day, Xia Zhaoyi stayed in the yamen and did not go out.

After encountering the Feishuang Pavilion incident in Hengxiang that day, she began to get involved with various people and ran around Hengxiang.Day by day, the letters sent from other places have been piled up like a hill, and they have been in Qimotang and Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion.

After Xia Zhaoyi checked the body of Xiaodao at noon, she met the soldiers from Lianfeng Academy who came to report the victory or defeat of the debate. information.So, she ordered people to go to Qimotang and Zhiyu Shuishi to fetch all the letters from these days.

Throughout the afternoon, countless soldiers came and went, those who brought letters away, those who delivered letters, their footsteps were chaotic.

Until it got dark, the big lanterns of Yingshi Taoyue were brightly lit, and Xia Zhaoyi's pen continued.

Apart from her, there were also Zhan Ning, Guan Chi, Fan Yu and Liang Dechang who came with the letter.

With the four of them assisting in sorting out the letters, the efficiency is much higher.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, the wind suddenly became stronger, and the window sash was slammed against the wall with a loud "bang".

Xia Zhaoyi looked up, and saw that Zhan Ning walked over and was about to close the door.

"No need to turn it off," Xia Zhaoyi said.

Janning turned around.

"Just fix it a little bit," Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Yes, second lady."

Zhan Ning fixed the window sash, a strong wind blew outside the window, the tea lights in the hall were warm, and insects and birds were singing outside the window, but the night seemed quieter.

After Zhan Ning fixed the window, he came back to exchange tea for Xia Zhaoyi.

The tender green tea leaves are like pointed boats, and the fragrance of the tea fills the room.

Xia Zhaoyi looked sideways at the tea leaves in the cup.

These are all Mingqian teas sent by Xizhou, she only opened them today, and they are all first-class teas.

In the troubled times, it is extremely rare to be able to drink fresh Mingqian green tea from Mingtai County in Hengxiang.

Along with the green tea, there were also news of several major acquisitions and bank mergers.

Now Xia Zhaoyi is returning letters, and it is also this batch.

The cool evening breeze made her mind clearer, but she often stopped while writing.

Zhan Ning was a person who couldn't hide his curiosity, so he finally asked, "Second Miss, did something go wrong with the deployment in Xizhou at the beginning of the year?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "It's natural to have problems, it's abnormal if there are no problems, and there are monsters."

"So, what's the problem?"

Seeing his face full of curiosity, Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said: "Princess Yangping bought and sold properties at a low price and then sold them at a high price. After she was severely punished by Li Ju, this matter has not stopped. The Hejing dignitaries Many of us follow suit, and we dare not be as blatant as her, but there are secret tricks everywhere. Now, someone is eyeing my Naijun restaurant in Hejing."

"Ah! Second Miss bought a restaurant in Hejing?!" Zhan Ning said.

"The key point you captured is this?" Xia Zhaoyi's smile became brighter, "Why don't you think about it, how to deal with it?"

"Hmm...then, who is the person staring at the restaurant?"

"This kind of thing, how can someone who is watching come forward? The identity must also be kept secret."

"That's right...hey, it's really difficult, but I'm so angry. To the second lady, this restaurant is actually dispensable. But there must be many people who rely on this shop for a living, and they are so robbed. How will you live in the future?"

"Yeah, it's very annoying," Xia Zhaoyi smiled, "So, let's give this person a bad reward, what do you think?"

"Evil News?"

"Let him take this restaurant easily, and let's do some tricks on the restaurant's relationship network, so that the secret sentinel of Tianrongwei can find out that the restaurant's relationship is unusual. With Li Ju's heart, this person will probably... "

"Excellent!" Zhan Ning's eyes brightened, "Second Miss, this trick is really ruthless!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, bit the penholder, and looked at the other unfinished letters with bright eyes.

So far, she has answered a total of 27 letters, and almost every one of the 27 letters has some kind of bullying and injustice.

She looked at these unprocessed letters, but didn't know how many of them there were.

Xia Zhaoyi continued to reply letters, and the number of soldiers returning gradually decreased, and it was less than half an hour since the last soldier who sent news of Lianfeng Academy.

Zhan Ning came over to exchange for new tea, and suddenly heard the long-lost word "report" outside.

A soldier walked in quickly: "Second Miss, Manager Xu sent me here. He said that a student is missing."

Zhan Ning frowned: "The student is missing, why should he report to Miss Er?"

Guan Chi looked up behind another desk and said, "A student from Dongping Academy, right?"

The soldier nodded: "Exactly!"

Guan Chi looked at Zhan Ning: "In the past few days, Fan Yu and Liang Dechang and I have been studying military formations in Zhiyu Shuixie every day, and we have gotten closer to Guanshi Xu. For Renhe Wiring, Manager Xu has to check the student rosters of each Dongping Academy every three days."

"What's the name of the missing person?" Fan Yu asked.

"Yao Zhen." The soldier said.

Xia Zhaoyi paused, and repeated in a low voice: "Yao Zhen?"

"It's him?!" Zhan Ning also recognized him.

That day, when Yao Zhen, Xu Xiyi, Hao Weifeng and Dong Yanjiang were writing articles in Qianya, Zhan Ning still received the paper.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at Zhan Ning: "You go to Gao Zhou and ask Gao Zhou to send some people out to find him. If there is no more, go to Liu Xiancheng and Zhao Xianwei."

"...that Liu Xiancheng who peed his pants?" Zhan Ning frowned.

"Anyway, he is a county magistrate, somewhat capable of torture and criminal investigation. Now that he is asked to find someone, it is an opportunity for him, and he should perform well."

"Yeah!" Zhan Ning responded, "If you don't behave well, then let him look good!"

Janning left with the soldiers.

Feeling sleepy for a while, Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand to hold the tea and drank it slowly.

Fan Yu said: "Second Miss, let's rest first, these letters are not in a hurry."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, and said: "I was running around all day long a few days ago, and it was rare for me to calm down to read and reply to letters, so I just went all out and read them all."

Fan Yu could only sigh softly: "Second Miss, you have worked hard."

Time passed slowly, and when the clapper rang outside, Xia Zhaoyi finally finished replying the last letter.

She put the ink on the candlestick to dry, and then put it in the envelope. When she looked up, she saw Fan Yu and others were lying on their stomachs, all asleep.

Xia Zhaoyi got up silently, without disturbing them.

The soldiers standing outside the gate had just come in after a shift, Xia Zhaoyi ordered one person to prepare the carriage, and after they came over, Fan Yu and the others would be sent back to Zhiyu Shuixie.

The evening wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the stone table lamps in the courtyard were dimly lit. Xia Zhaoyi yawned lightly, and walked towards the nearest side door.

As he walked, Xia Zhaoyi gradually stopped.

From a distance, she saw a tall and slender figure standing under the lamp of Qiu Yingting by the roadside. The figure was thin, with broad shoulders and thin waist. He was standing on the path near the side door, with his head slightly raised.

Because his back was facing her, she didn't know what he was looking at.
