Chapter 233
The snow is getting bigger and bigger.

When I came here, the snow on the gravel road in Fuzhong had only reached the soles of my feet, but now it has covered the insteps.

Jiang Wenjie and the boy each carried a light red gauze lantern and walked ahead in the wind and snow to lead the way.

Fang Yao followed behind Fan Chen, her eyes were fixed on the back of the one in front.

Suddenly, the line of sight was blocked.

She silently moved to the side, and continued to stare at the back.

After a while, it was blocked again.

After repeating this several times, Fang Yao couldn't help raising her head and glaring at the guy walking in front of her, why was she always blocking her sight.

Fan Chen seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, he slowed down his steps, and while the others were not paying attention, he suddenly turned his head and grinned at her.

"..."

The corner of Fang Yao's mouth twitched, it turned out that this person did it on purpose.

"Oh--"

Seventh Princess suddenly pointed to the front and turned her head, Jiang Wenjie said with a puzzled face, "I finally know who you look like!"

Doubt flashed in Jiang Wenjie's eyes, and then he suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you said that I look familiar, so it's possible that I really look like an old friend of yours?"

"Not my old friend! It's a child!"

Seventh Princess quickly denied that she was not familiar with Dabao that little guy.

The servant at the side couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, it should be that child who looks like Deputy Captain Jiang."

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the seventh princess was staring at him coldly. He was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "Princess, spare me, the little one deserves to die, the young one deserves to die..."

As he spoke, he slapped his mouth open.

Fang Yao was a little dumbfounded.

"Okay, get up."

Princess Seven cast a sideways glance at Fang Yao behind Fan Chen, and spoke leisurely.

Finally, as if he had received an amnesty, the boy said "The princess is a thousand years old" several times, and got up from the ground wiping away his cold sweat.

Seventh Princess looked at Jiang Wenjie's face again, and said, "Like, really like, didn't you have a child before?"

The little servant stood aside tremblingly, not daring to interrupt at all.

Under the halo of the red lantern, the muscles on Jiang Wenjie's face were a little unnatural. He laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of the officials anymore. The officials have never been married, so where did the children come from?"

"Well... also."

Seventh Princess nodded, "Those people seem to be from some small village in the south, so far apart..."

Fang Yao's heart beat slightly faster. She stood behind Fan Chen, watching Jiang Wenjie's every move closely, not letting go of any subtle expression on his face.

Probably because the atmosphere was really weird, Fan Chen finally cleared his cough and said: "Okay, this is the future county matriarch, how could he be the heartless man who abandoned his wife and son, the princess should pay more attention to what he says in the future."

"Brother Chen, you can't blame me, they look too similar..."

On the next road, Jiang Wenjie's walking body was a little stiff, and he hesitated to speak in several places, but in the end he didn't speak.

The few people finally came to the gate, the carriage was still parked outside, and the young man from the Duke's Mansion was standing outside the carriage. He got up and left when he saw the master coming.

"Deputy Jiang, see you tomorrow."

Fan Chen turned his head and clasped fists at Jiang Wenjie. The latter seemed a little absent-minded, forced a smile, and returned the salute.

The four-wheeled carriage left slowly, and the wheels left a few clear marks on the stone road, extending all the way into the dark alley.

Jiang Wenjie stood on the stone steps, looking in a daze at the alley where the carriage could no longer be seen.

"Deputy Jiang, it's time to go back." The servant behind him reminded.

"it is good……"

Jiang Wenjie turned around slowly. Suddenly, a few torches appeared on the other side of the street directly opposite the Duke's Mansion, and then there were several yells.

Although it was far away, in the silent night, the voice still came clearly.

"Who is hiding there, and what is the intention of sneaking outside the Duke's mansion!"

Jiang Wenjie and the servant, who were about to enter the door, stopped at the same time and turned their heads to look there.

But the distance is not very close, just listen to the lecture, and can't see the specific situation at all.

"Let's go, Deputy Captain Jiang, it's probably because the Imperial Guards who were watching the night discovered something called Hanako again."

The boy sighed, it was always snowing these days, and every morning, there would occasionally be corpses that froze to death in some alleys at night.

Jiang Wenjie had the same thought in his heart.

Suddenly, an extremely faint cry of a child came from there, and Jiang Wenjie, who had been in a panic all along, felt his heart skip a beat.

"You go back first, I will come as soon as I go."

Jiang Wenjie didn't care about the boy's surprised expression, and hurried over there with the lantern in hand.

As he got closer, he could already hear the voice of a woman pleading in addition to the cries of children.

But the man holding the torch was too noisy, he couldn't hear what the woman was saying, but his feet got faster and faster, almost running.

Inside the alley.

A soldier pointed at the little boy hiding behind the woman, and said in surprise, "Vice Captain Chang, do you think this little boy looks like that person..."

Before Deputy Captain Chang could speak, the others asked curiously, "Who? Who?"

Deputy Captain Chang with a gloomy face still smelled of alcohol, he held a torch and took a few steps towards the woman, forcing the latter to lean against the corner.

"Masters, we are really not thieves, just passing by here..."

"Passing by?"

Deputy Captain Chang glanced at the little girl in the woman's arms whose face was flushed from crying, and then looked again at the boy hiding behind the woman.

He opened his mouth and smiled, then suddenly reached out, grabbed the boy by the shoulders, and lifted the boy out violently!
"what--"

"What are you going to do! Let go of my child!"

The woman put down her baby girl and rushed over like crazy.

Lieutenant Chang, like teasing a cat or dog, dodged the woman's attack, lifted the boy up high, the torch in his hand was almost touching the child's face, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahahaha... look, look at me Found something interesting!"

The other end of the alley.

A dark figure was hidden in the dark, staring at the childish face illuminated by the torch, and secretly clenched its fists...
