No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 445 Lend a pair of eyes

Seeing Rong Zhen and a group of strange Si Tianjian Qi practitioners gathered in his small courtyard, Miao Si was unprepared, his heart "thumped" and his expression froze.

How did the money-owed fairy find Huang Xuan?

Could it be that something was found?

Her first thought was, could it be that the money-owed fairy had found out that Ouyang Changshi was kind to Huang Xuan, and was also indirectly kind to her who had just asked questions in the inner warehouse without knowing anything about it, so she guessed something and came to her door. Check?

Miaoxi, who had a guilty conscience, suddenly became a little desperate.

"Xian... why is the fairy here?"

She raised her little head and forced a smile towards Rong Zhen and everyone else.

Rong Zhen glanced at her and calmly didn't answer. He turned to look at Huang Xuan. This action made Miao Si's lucky heart drop rapidly.

But at this moment, Huang Xuan left Rong Zhen and went to the kitchen to pour tea, while saying in a brisk tone:

"Miaosi, are these sisters your new friends? Why didn't you mention before where you were? It's early in the morning. These sisters have been waiting for you for a long time and said they were looking for you."

"Uh..." Miao Si was stuck.

He couldn't help but look at Rong Zhen and the other eight Si Tianjian Qi practitioners, and found that their faces were as usual. Rong Zhen looked around the courtyard, and there was no unkind atmosphere in the courtyard.

"No need to pour tea." Rong Zhen said toward the kitchen, then turned to look at Miao Si and glanced at the bowl in her hand: "Are you full?"

Miao Si nodded cautiously.

Although Rong Zhen said no, Huang Xuan still insisted on bringing the tea out and poured a cup of hot tea for everyone in the hospital.

When passing by Miao Si, the little girl in red coat lowered her voice and asked curiously:

"Miao Si, is this the Qi Practitioner you mentioned? It's full of immortal energy."

Huang Xuan glanced at the most beautiful girl in cold palace clothes, and felt that she was standing there like the moon high on the branches in late autumn, cold and distant.

Miao Si nodded bravely.

Huang Xuan's eyes showed some awe.

Rong Zhen suddenly said: "She is the Huang Xuan you said?"

Huang Xuan couldn't help turning her head, looking at Miao Si with a look that seemed to surprise her and asked: "Did you mention me?"

Of course, Miao Si didn't dare to say it. She mentioned it when she first pretended to be her name. She forced herself to stay calm and tried her best to pretend not to care:

"Well, this girl is the ink worker of Hanlei Ink Studio. She has served me pretty well before. Now that the Japanese fairy has left, she is going to reward her with some talents. She can be regarded as a talented girl in Xunyang. She can be regarded as a poor person in the family. After all the hardships, she will be rewarded... …”

After a pause, she changed her words, smiled and said:

"Fairy, let's come in and chat. This little girl is really annoying here asking questions. She's too ignorant. Fairy, don't be the same as her. She happens to have to go to work in the Ink Studio."

Rong Zhen glanced at the little Mo Jing who acted like an arrogant uncle in front of Huang Xuan and said nothing.

Instead, Huang Xuan shook her head and said:

"There's no rush at Mozhai. It's important to entertain your friends. It's rare to see you bring friends here. Have they had breakfast? There's still some porridge in the kitchen. It's not enough for me to cook..."

"Shut up, are you allowed to speak here?"

Miao Si suddenly scolded.

Huang Xuan's tea-pouring hand froze.

Rong Zhen and the others turned their heads and watched indifferently. They saw the little female official in Confucian uniform who was fawning in front of them. She didn't have a good look at the little girl in red coat. She pointed at the door and said in a very impatient tone:

"Ji Ji Wai Wai Wai, you are nosy, how can you call me sister? I don't even dare to get close to you.

"Go away and do your work. If you talk too much, you won't be able to get any benefits from your family after I am gone."

The content of the courtyard was really waiting for Si Tianjian's qi practitioners to look at him sideways, either calmly, coldly, or looking at the excitement.

Huang Xuan closed Yuyu's small mouth and lowered her head.

She walked over and poured the tea for the last lady in white, buried her face and returned to the kitchen, put the teapot away and prepared to get out.

Among the eight white-clothed qigong practitioners brought by Rong Zhen, the leaders were a woman and a man. They both had red hair and painted clothes, and had a red mole between their eyebrows.

"Ah."

Unlike Rong Zhen and the female Shi with eyebrow mole who were watching with cold eyes, the male Shi with eyebrow mole chuckled lightly.

The laughter seemed a bit harsh in the lonely courtyard.

The man with the mole on his eyebrow lowered his eyes and sniffed the tea, then blew on it, took half a sip, and said leisurely:

"You are a little ink spirit, but you are arrogant and domineering and carefree among ordinary people in the market."

Miao Si immediately changed her face smoothly and her tone was pitiful:

"It makes Xianzi and Xianden laugh. The main reason is that these girls from poor families are so uneducated. If they are given a little sunshine, they will be bright. They like to rub their noses and faces."

The man with the eyebrow mole sneered and wanted to speak, but at this moment, Rong Zhen and the woman with the eyebrow mole glanced at him.

The man with the eyebrow mole lowered his eyes and said nothing more.

On the other side, Rong Zhen and Shi, the woman with the eyebrow mole, looked at each other.

"That's the right one, right?"

Rong Zhen asked softly.

The woman with the mole on her eyebrow nodded, looked up and down at the little girl in the red coat in the kitchen, and couldn't help but admire:

"Yes, these eyes are really beautiful, and most importantly, they are so full of spirituality."

Miao Si, who was listening with all his ears, suddenly became nervous and hurriedly spoke:

"Female History, let's go in and talk. Speaking of which, I thought of a possible clue..."

Rong Zhen and the female history with eyebrow mole didn't pay much attention to the idea of ​​finding a topic. The female history with eyebrow mole walked to the door, blocked Huang Xuan who was about to go out, and asked kindly:

"Does the girl know about Qi Practitioners?"

Huang Xuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to take a look at Miao Si, but the previous scolding made her hold back and nodded:

"Miaoshi said it."

"Then did she say that you are very suitable for Qi training?"

Huang Xuan asked weakly: "Really? I thought you were trying to coax me."

The female historian with eyebrow mole shook her head, smiled and said:

"No, you are a good young man who came from a poor family, but you should not fall into the market and let your pearls fall into dust. Speaking of which, I was similar to you when I was young, so I sympathize and understand you very much.

"Fortunately, today's Holy Emperor and Ming are kind to the people, and the world is clear and clear. Si Tianjian respects His Majesty's teachings, accepts the folk jade, and does not let any pearls become dusty. The same is true for you, Xiaoxuan, are you willing to go back with us? Entering the Si Tianjian to practice?

"From now on, not only will you have no worries about food and clothing, but you will also have the opportunity to see the holy face and honor your family. The officials and gentlemen you looked up to in the past will respect you and lower their eyebrows. Your family will also be able to live a wealthy life because of you... This It’s not a dream, you just need to nod your head to realize it.”

The woman with a mole on her eyebrows replaced Rong Zhen, who was not very good at persuading others. She spoke in a friendly tone and spoke eloquently. The most important thing is that she did not force her with words, but showed her affection and lured her with benefits.

Miao Si's scalp was numb when she heard this. Her plan to drive them out failed.

Originally, she deliberately attacked Huang Xuan as a clever trick. She got rid of the suspicion that she helped Ouyang Changshi conceal it for Huang Xuan.

Although looking at the reactions of Rong Zhen and others, it doesn't seem like she has doubts in that direction, but it does not prevent her from taking precautions.

In addition, she also wanted to drive Huang Xuan away, fearing that the group of Si Tianjian Qi practitioners would notice the clues in her eyes.

But I didn't expect that what I was afraid of would come.

"I...can I think about it..." At this moment, Huang Xuan replied weakly.

The woman with the eyebrow mole frowned slightly, then relaxed her brows, her smile remained unchanged, she touched her head and sighed:

"Hey, what's there to consider? Isn't it easy to choose between poverty and wealth? Do you have any difficulties, or...

"Who threatens you and doesn't want you to go? It's okay. You can just say it. Rong Zhennvshi and I will stand up for you and uphold justice..."

The girl with the mole on her eyebrow was good at tempting, and when Huang Xuan hesitated, she couldn't help but glance at Miao Si.

The female historian with the eyebrow mole also immediately turned her head, the smile disappeared from her mouth, and she and the male historian with the eyebrow mole looked coldly at the little girl in Confucian attire.

Miao Si immediately showed an innocent expression as if he were a harmless person, and even blinked his eyes, seemingly showing off his cuteness to everyone.

However, the female historian with eyebrow mole did not accept this trick. She poked Miao Si with her index finger and asked with squinted eyes:

"Xiao Xuan, is this little Mo Jing trying to intimidate you, or...has he said something bad about the Saint and Si Tianjian in private?"

"No." Huang Xuan immediately shook her head.

Well, except for the sentence "Luoyang is not a prosperous age". "Why is that?" The woman with the eyebrow mole frowned.

Huang Xuan hesitated to speak, but still didn't say anything.

In fact, I want to say that she has never picked up a few pennies since she was a child, let alone such a big pie.

In the past, every time Huang Xuan met Big Pie, either he wanted to coax her into selling herself into a brothel, or she wanted to use her influence to lure a certain eldest benefactor into seducing her.

Rong Zhen suddenly asked:

"Did Ouyang Lianghan help you?"

Huang Xuan didn't answer and glanced at the cold and cold girl in palace attire who said little.

Rong Zhen's voice slowed down a bit, rarely so cold:

"I made some inquiries about this matter when I came here. It seems to have happened a few days ago."

She nodded gently:

"You don't need to be on guard. I have no enmity with Ouyang Lianghan. On the contrary, I am familiar with him and have frequent dealings with him. It seems that we are destined to be friends."

Huang Xuan pursed her lips and asked in a low voice:

"Sister, are you really on good terms with Mr. Chang Shi?"

Rong Zhen nodded lightly:

"To tell you the truth, I don't think I'm very familiar with him, but I cooperate with him on official matters. And I quite appreciate his way of doing things.

"I have been to Dragon City once. Although I don't talk to him much outside of official business, I do recognize him in my heart. He is a down-to-earth and good official who does practical things for the people. He doesn't have much selfishness."

When Huang Xuan heard this, her originally stern little face, although she tried hard to hold it back, still bloomed like a flower.

Hearing that the cold-hearted girl in palace attire, who seemed to be the leader of the crowd, actually praised him, and judging from the sideways glances from the surrounding women and men with eyebrow moles, it seemed to be a very rare high praise.

Huang Xuan was a little elated and said happily:

"When you see a good person, you can think about it. My sister can see this. My sister is equally powerful and a good person."

Good guy? Miao Si opened her mouth slightly.

Rong Zhen raised his eyebrows.

She didn't care about the blunt and bold words of the little girl in red coat, and nodded and suggested:

"Do you need me to call him here? It just so happens that you can also express your thanks."

Huang Xuan shyly dodges her eyes: "No need to call me benefactor. I believe that my sister's eyes can't deceive others."

Rong Zhen's lips softened slightly: "Okay, don't call him yet."

The woman with the eyebrow mole's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked around at Huang Xuan's eyes that were as bright as stars and painted like ink, as if she was admiring a rare piece of art.

She couldn't wait to ask:

"Now that we know we are not bad people, Xiaoxuan is willing to go with us."

Huang Xuan wanted to ask Miao Si finally, but she was a little confused.

Rong Zhen suddenly said:

"You can think about it for a few more days as to whether to enter the Sitian Prison, but today, we have an urgent matter and need your help."

Huang Xuan was startled: "What's the matter...can I help?"

Rong Zhen lowered his eyes:

"There is a case where the thief needs to be traced... This case is also of concern to your respected Changshi Ouyang. He is also assisting me in handling the case. If the thief can be found, he will also be successful and will be pleased."

Before Huang Xuan could reply, Miao Si couldn't help but interrupt: "Fairy, she is still young and her body is weak and it is not suitable..."

The next moment, her words were stuck, because both the eyebrow mole female history and the eyebrow mole female history cast cold glances, so Miao Si could only lower her head and remain silent.

Huang Xuan didn't know why, and said seriously with a small face:

"If I can help with the investigation, I'll be obliged to do so... Can I ask what needs to be done?"

Rong Zhen walked up to the little girl in the red coat and bent down to be at her level.

Rong Zhen stared directly at Huang Xuan's lacquered eyes that could pierce through illusions, and whispered:

"I need... to use your eyes to catch this thief... Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Huang Xuan looked increasingly curious.

Miao Si seemed to understand something, and her eyes suddenly became anxious. Unfortunately, there was a man named Shi with an eyebrow mole next to her, so it was hard for her to report the news.

Rong Zhen turned his head and spoke in Huang Xuan's ear.

Just talked for a while.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the courtyard door suddenly.

Everyone in the courtyard turned around instantly.

……

After bidding farewell to his junior sister in Jiangzhou lobby, Ouyang Rong arrived at Xingzifang directly.

He took Yan Liulang with him, followed the address, walked through the streets and alleys, and found an old courtyard.

Ouyang Rong looked at the dilapidated yard. If the address information was correct, then the Huang family and his daughter lived here now, but he didn't know if anyone was there in the morning.

Ouyang Rong was holding a long cloth bag and vaguely heard conversations inside the door, so he knocked on the door with his own hands.

"Dong dong dong."

The conversation inside the courtyard gate suddenly stopped.

Before he could ask any more questions, the courtyard door suddenly opened from inside, revealing a female official in white from Si Tianjian.

Ouyang Rong's expression remained unchanged, his eyes jumped over the shoulders of the female officer in white, and he glanced at the scene in the courtyard.

"Hey, why is the female historian here?" he asked curiously.

In the courtyard, there was a little girl in a red coat that he had seen several times, and a very familiar cold and cold girl in palace clothes.

At this time, Rong Zhen stood beside Huang Xuan, seeming to whisper.

The arrival of Ouyang Rong brought their conversation to an end.

Huang Xuan, who had been listening seriously with a small face, suddenly turned around and was a little surprised.

Rong Zhen also looked at him.

"Come here to investigate the case. Why is Ouyang Changshi here too?" she asked with narrowed eyes.

As he spoke, Rong Zhen's eyes slowly moved down and landed on the long cloth bag in Ouyang Rong's arms.

"Investigating the case?"

Ouyang Rong explained calmly:

"I was planning to go to Yuan Sima to learn piano skills. He happened to live nearby. I heard that the Huang family and his daughter lived here, so I stopped by to visit them."

Having said this, he suddenly turned around and ordered:

"Rokuro, help me put the piano back into the carriage. I'll go in and have a seat. I'll go find Yuan Sima later."

"Yes, Mingfu."

Everyone in the courtyard saw Ouyang Rong hand the long cloth bag in his arms to Yan Liulang.

Then Yan Liulang walked out of the courtyard holding this ordinary long cloth bag that looked like a piano case and placed it in the carriage at the entrance of the courtyard.

Ouyang Rong turned around, smiled at everyone, patted his sleeves, and walked into the courtyard under the gaze of everyone.

At the same time, he also quietly looked at the entire audience with his peripheral vision...
