Jiaohua

Chapter 1280 No Enmity
Walking all the way, before and after Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion, Zhao Ning and Mrs. Qu said goodbye to Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi's letter left in Qi Motang had already been fetched by Shi Guoxin in advance.

At the same time, Zhiyu Shuixie also had people from Yamen and Dongping Academy.

When Xia Zhaoyi arrived at Hezhou Garden, Xu Yinjun came over in a hurry and said, "The big boss has a guest, Mrs. Qu."

"Mrs. Qu?" Xia Zhaoyi, who was about to talk to the visitor, was curious, "Didn't she leave just before?"

Saying that, Xia Zhaoyi walked out: "Did anyone say what it was?"

"I didn't say it."

"Ah."

Mrs. Qu didn't follow, and there were no aunts or maids accompanying her. She stood alone in front of the white jade railing of the waterside pavilion against the evening wind, staring deeply at the Wenhe Building in the distance with her heavily made-up eyes.

Seeing her alone, Xia Zhaoyi told Xu Yinjun and Zhan Ning not to follow.

"Mrs. Qu." Xia Zhaoyi walked over.

Mrs. Qu came back to her senses, her eyes fell on the girl's face, and a smile appeared on her plump and fleshy face: "Ali."

"Do you have something to tell me?" Xia Zhaoyi said, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Qu raised her eyebrows, said slowly, "I heard Zhao Ning mention it to me before the dinner, and you have plans to leave Hengxiang in the near future."

"Ah."

"It's...not a big deal," Mrs. Qu sighed softly, "The battle of Namuye has begun in April."

Xia Zhaoyi is a smart person. Hearing her mention this, she immediately understood: "What Mrs. Qu wants to say has something to do with Nie Huimo?"

"Ali, I know I should have a sense of proportion and shouldn't talk too much about these things, but can I have a merciless request?"

"Madam Qu, tell me."

"Ruo Ruo, I mean Ru Ruo, if the ink falls into your hands someday, can you... spare his life?"

Xia Zhaoyi paused slightly, and said, "Mrs. Qu, why do you think that he will fall into my hands? He is a powerful official next to King Dacheng, one man under one man and above ten thousand. With the current situation of King Dacheng, Song Zhiyi is Don't dare to do anything to him."

"No." Mrs. Qu sighed, looking back at the lake.

The lights of Wenhe Building fell on the surface of the lake, the golden light was shining brightly, driven by the sparkling ripples, it seemed vain and unreal.

"Just in case," Mrs. Qu said, "if there is such an event, you... just spare his life."

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly remembered that Zhao Ning had mentioned inadvertently before that Mrs. Qu and Nie Huimo seemed to have not seen each other for a long time.

Seeing Mrs. Qu's appearance, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly asked: "Mrs. Qu, did you make friends with me and made Nie Huimo angry at you?"

Mrs. Qu was taken aback, and looked at her.

"It seems, really?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

"No, it can't be considered..."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled, took a step forward, and got closer to the lake.

The evening wind blew her ponytail into the air. Facing the lake wind, she slightly narrowed her bright eyes and said for a while, "Okay, if there is such a day that Nie Huimo falls into my hand, then I will Then spare his life. But..."

Xia Zhaoyi laughed, and looked at Mrs. Qu: "He and I are actually not incompatible with each other. The idea of ​​saving one's life is a bit serious."

Mrs. Qu smiled, but did not speak.

At least in Mrs. Qu's eyes, they are all people who want to compete in the world. It doesn't matter whether they have hatred or not. Sooner or later they will... be enemies.

Back at Hezhou Garden, Xia Zhaoyi felt sleepy.

People from Dongping Academy said that Guo Guan was in a trance today, since Zhao Gong arrived at Dongping Academy, even after several banquets, Guo Guan was made unable to get off the stage by Zhao Gong.

As for today's dinner, he couldn't even stand firm when he stepped out of the banquet hall, and fell down the steps, leaving a big hole in his forehead, which was covered in blood.

The people from the yamen were talking about the surprise interrogation of those people in the back yamen today.

Also, Du Xuan has asked the people from the Southern Guards Mansion to take over the interrogation of the Fang family, because they are good at torture.

"Mr. Du seems to have lost his patience." The soldier from the yamen said.

"It's the Fang family who are difficult to deal with," Xia Zhaoyi said calmly.

Whether it is these Fang family members or the Jin family children who have been wiped out by them, Xia Zhaoyi found that these people have a very high sense of family belonging and honor.

Reminiscent of the murals seen below the Jin Family Bamboo Garden, it is not difficult to imagine how this group of people lived a self-enclosed life from childhood to adulthood, and what they learned from what they saw and learned.

However, they are them. Compared to them, people like Guo Guan and Ding Yuejin make Xia Zhaoyi feel sad.

Their surnames are not Chen, Fang, Jin, or any other surname on the mural, but they also hate Qiao's to the bone, and are willing to work for the lord who has never shown his face so far.

It's not so much brainless, it's better to say that the brain seems to have been washed, instilled and filled with other thoughts.

Xia Zhaoyi turned his back and stood in front of the study window, looking at the lake outside.

Outside the window on this side, the lake is the inner lake of Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion. Under the lights along the shore, you can see a large number of koi swimming up to the water from time to time.

"Has brother Du returned to Qingyue Pavilion?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Well, Mr. Du Xuan has gone back."

"Then wait until tomorrow," Xia Zhaoyi frowned, "when he returns to the yamen tomorrow, you tell him that within three days, I will execute all the members of the Fang family. He finished."

"Three days?" The soldier was surprised.

"Well, how to execute him is up to Zhang Ji to decide."

"Yes." The soldier replied.

Xia Zhaoyi looked sideways at the letters and letters on the case. She spent a long time sorting them out today, and now it's time to send them out one by one.

"Xu Yinjun." Xia Zhaoyi looked towards the door.

"Big boss." Xu Yinjun who was standing at the door stepped forward immediately.

Xia Zhaoyi walked to the desk, reached out and patted the letters on the desk: "These are the same as before."

Xu Yinjun was slightly stunned, and then responded: "Yes!"

He looked at the letters and confirmed what the girl meant by saying that she was going to leave Hengxiang in the near future.

However, this was too sudden.

A thunderstorm suddenly hit Hejing.

Deafening thunder roared in the sky, under the sharp lightning, everything was silent, the long street was empty, and the buildings were solemn.

A woman ran past quickly, ignoring the vegetation in the courtyard of the cold palace, crossing the courtyard from under the tree, and sprinting towards the corridor.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

The woman pulled back the hoodie, revealing an old and tired face.

Wiping off the sweat or rain on her forehead, she turned and walked towards the cold palace.

A guard ordered to stop her. The woman raised her hand and raised the token in her hand.

Inside the bedroom, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Nian He hurriedly went to open the door, and when he saw someone coming, he smiled happily, and turned to look at Empress Nangong, who was flipping through the book with Buddhist beads: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Shupin is here."

Empress Nangong didn't seem to hear it, her gaze was still on the page, reading every line and every word without any haste.

Nian He looked at Mrs. Zeng, and smiled lightly: "The Empress, she seldom pays attention to me these days. She only pays attention to me three or four times a day."

Zeng sighed softly, nodded, and stepped into the bedroom.
