Chapter 161
"What else do you want me to say, do you really think that this son cares about your banquet?" Seeing Xiao Ning's slightly nervous expression, he suddenly understood what she was afraid of.

"It's good if you don't care about it, then I don't need to ask Lao Song to entertain you. After a few days, I can go back to the restaurant and take care of the business after I can walk on the ground. I have already thought about new dishes, so I can give you a taste first. Seeing that he didn't want to thank him, Xiao Ning frowned.

"You are lucky, my new dishes will definitely make men, women and children alike!"

Seeing Xiao Ning smiling, Qin Fufeng couldn't be happy at all, he could only smile dryly and talk to her for a while.

For some reason, his heart felt empty.It seemed that he had wronged Si Ruiyan, and Xiao Ning's experience was short of something.

Originally, he wanted to tell Xiao Ning about Si Ruiyan's arrest in the government office today, but seeing that she was so happy, he didn't say what he wanted to say.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then Qin Fufeng said goodbye.

After going out the door, I saw Si Ruiyan sitting on one side with cold eyes.

"I must ask you what happened that day, but you won't tell the truth." Qin Fufeng lowered his voice, trying not to let the people in the room hear, "But let me tell you, I, Qin Fufeng, have investigated this matter! "

Say it, and he walked away.

What happened on the day of the heavy rain?Why did Xiao Ning fall into the hands of those villains for no reason?Why would she regard herself as a lifesaver?
These are all matters that Qin Fufeng is going to investigate carefully.

"Your Highness, this son is really domineering. Originally, I thought he was just a second-generation ancestor who was protected by his merits and virtues." Cheng Feng walked in from the outside.

Si Ruiyan didn't move his eyebrows, but said softly: "If he doesn't have the ability to write, how can the emperor let him supervise the business."

There was no hysterical questioning, no groundless accusations and spitting, Qin Fufeng's doubts and doubts were all generated from the existing clues.

Only then did Si Ruiyan realize why he was so loved by Xiao Ning, and even regarded him as a lifesaver in his memory.

"Your Highness, you really don't need to go down and uncover the most wanted list in the government office?" Cheng Feng lowered his voice and clasped his fists to ask for instructions.

Most people will not read the posts posted by the city gate.The appearance in those portraits will not leave any impression on people.

Officials will not come to inspect every day, as long as Cheng Feng cuts off the list and replaces it with another person who does not need to be, outsiders will not find out.

"Just stick to it like this. If I don't tell the world now, how can I let the people of Kyoto know my injustice in the future." Si Ruiyan didn't care that he became a wanted criminal, and the shackles on his wrists were still clanging.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the door, stood up and said softly: "Take good care of her, if you ask me, just say that I haven't come back after I went out to do errands."

It's really inconvenient to see her now in shackles.Originally, she could hide in the house, but now that Qin Fufeng came, she would have to ask herself about everything.

Cheng Feng didn't know what His Highness was going out to do, but he also found a piece of cloth to wrap around the shackles, so that His Highness wouldn't be looked at by people walking around outside.

However, Si Ruiyan avoided his actions, went straight out, mounted his horse, and drove away with his whip.

The horse galloped quickly, and disappeared in an instant.

Since Song Zhai couldn't hide, they had no choice but to go back to their original home.After all, they hadn't come back for a month or two.

"Your Highness!?" The housekeeper's eyes widened when he saw the person coming.

Si Ruiyan nodded and stepped inside.

Earlier, the steward heard that His Highness was arrested and entered the government office, but now seeing the shackles on his hands again, his heart was even more shaken.

"Chengfeng told you everything about those Fusang people, but what did you find?" Si Ruiyan asked as he walked into the study.

The butler suddenly turned serious, and lowered his voice: "It is true that we have found some clues, but I don't know if the information will be useful to His Highness."

After entering the study, he knocked open a hidden compartment on the wall with ease, and took out a mahogany box from it.

That box has many traps, and it can only be opened in a special way.Press a wrong place, and the iron spikes in the box will fly out, knocking the thief to the ground immediately.

The housekeeper has opened this thing countless times, and he can open it neatly with his eyes closed.From it he took out a stack of letters, the ink on them was very fresh, and it was obvious that they had been blocked recently.

"The fishermen on the coast said that those Fusang people had been lurking on the coast last month, and inexplicable people would send them silver at those times. They stayed in the house all day, and the meals were delivered by special people. No one has seen their faces, and they don't know how many of them there are." The butler replied.

Si Ruiyan frowned when he saw that the letters were all in Fusang characters and some strange totem symbols.

The person who wrote the letter was afraid that the letter would be intercepted, so he specially used Fusang characters mixed with some totems to confuse the public.Except for those Fusang people, I am afraid that no one can understand what is written in this letter.

"Bring that witch here." Si Ruiyan whispered.

The witch who was pretending to bewitch Xiao Ning, he had asked Cheng Feng to send her back overnight.

Although the Song residence is located in a quiet place, Xiao Guang already knew where it was.If he wanted to save people, the defense of the Song residence might not be enough to resist.

This witch is his own, Xiao Guang felt terrified to be captured by them.That's why he jumped over the wall in such a hurry that Zuo Du ordered him to be arrested, and put on such shackles, making him a wanted criminal.

It's ridiculous to think about a wanted criminal in shackles in Kyoto.But in order for Xiao Guang to pour dirty water on him, he had to do so.

Since that witch was so important to him, Si Ruiyan had to make good use of it.

The butler obeyed the order and pushed the bound witch back.

In just two or three days, the witch's face became emaciated due to excessive panic, and the oil paint on her face had been stained into a pool of mud.His eyes were sunken, and his eyes were black and blue. It seemed that he hadn't slept well in the past few days.

"I know you can speak Chinese. At this point, you don't have to pretend anymore." Si Ruiyan whispered coldly, and a cold light condensed in the eagle eyes.

The witch knelt and shivered, her dirty, knotted hair trembling slightly.

"What is written in this letter, read it." Si Ruiyan twisted up a letter and flicked it with two fingers.

The fluffy letter paper flew up in the air as if it understood human words, spun a few times, and landed firmly in front of the witch.

The witch's eyes flicked, and suddenly the thin face began to twist and deform.

Zheng!The sound of the sword being unsheathed echoed in the study.

"Say!" The butler raised his sword to the witch's neck, with a deep voice.

The witch's smudged face became even more rigid. She held up the letter with trembling fingers, swallowed her saliva, and read: "Thanks to the favor of your country's imperial envoy, I am so honored to be Fuso Koga Warlock. Ten days later, Arrive as promised.

With an accent mixed with weird tones, the witch barely managed to explain the meaning. But maybe the totem was too complicated, and she read some places for a long time before she managed to explain the meaning.

Those letters are quite a lot, if they were exchanged within ten days, it would be too frequent.

Si Ruiyan calculated the time, and Xiao Ning hadn't made an appointment with him to go to incense ten days ago.No one could have predicted the heavy rain that day, and the landslide was not caused by humans.

In other words, Xiao Guang had already contacted the Fusang people long before those accidents.

Thinking about it, this is really wrong, why did Xiao Guang target such a weak woman like this.
