Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 14 Zhu Yi
Xin You hesitated, but still called out to stop him.

Of course, the reason was not because she was fascinated by the beauty of the man in Zhu Yi, but because she saw it again.

Just now, she suddenly saw this person walking on the street, and a flower pot fell from the sky, smashing his head to pieces.

Xin You hesitated because she didn't know how to remind the other party, but the other party acted righteously first, and she couldn't just ignore death.

The man in red clothes frowned as he watched the girl get closer and closer.

He seemed to catch a scent, as if—

A guess flashed in his mind, and the eyes of the man in Zhu Yi became deep.

"What else is there, girl?"

Xin You paused, and heard a trace of indifference from the calm tone of the man in Zhu Yi.

She didn't take it to heart.

It is normal for others to be impatient if they do not want to disclose their identities and are stopped when they want to leave.

After deliberating for a while, Xin You lowered her voice and asked, "Do righteous men believe in physiognomy?"

"Physiognomy?" The man in Zhu Yi was taken aback, and took a deep look at Xin You.

He thought it was strange for a girl who looked so fragile to have that smell on her body, but he didn't expect her to be even weirder.

The man in red clothes caught a glimpse of the carriage from the corner of his eye, and added something in his heart: Oh, he was also riding in a carriage without a curtain.

Xin You feared that the other party would leave before she could finish speaking, so she sped up her speech and said in a low voice, "I see that the seal of a martyr is black, and there may be a bloody disaster. It is best not to walk downstairs on the side of the street when you go to the street recently, so as to avoid disasters that fall from the sky. .”

After Xin You finished speaking in one breath, she took two steps back and bowed to the man in red, her voice raised: "My surname is Kou, and Duan Shaoqing from the Taipu Temple is my uncle. The kindness of the righteous men who saved us today, I will always remember in my heart."

Hearing that Xin You had reported the house, the man in Zhu Yi couldn't help but take another look at her.

It's even more strange for a girl from a civil official's house.

"Miss Kou, don't take it to heart." Although he felt strange, the man in red clothes didn't intend to delve into it, he responded politely, and rode away.

Xin You stood where she was, and sighed inaudibly as she watched the man in Zhu Yi leave.

I don't know if the other party listened to her words of pretending to be a magic stick.

Only then did two guards come forward, and one of them couldn't help but said, "Cousin girl, why did you tell that person—"

Xin You frowned: "That righteous man saved my life, and he refused to reveal his identity without seeking repayment. Could it be that I, the rescued, feel at ease as if nothing happened?"

The two guards looked at each other, and the guard who spoke just now explained in a low voice: "Cousin girl, that's not the meaning of the young one, it's the identity of that—"

He hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Another guard interjected: "That person's identity is not easy to provoke."

"You know him?"

The two guards waved their hands together: "No, no, no—"

Facing Xin You's puzzled eyes, the guard looked around subconsciously, and lowered his voice: "I have seen the man with his subordinates. Miss, did you see that man in red clothes? He is a newcomer You must not offend Jinlinwei Zhenfu envoy."

The other guard looked mysterious: "Not only can't offend, but also can't get close, that—"

"Ahem." The guard who spoke first tugged at his companion.

The two guards kept silent and stopped talking about the man in Zhu Yi, and Xin You didn't ask any more questions.

Now that the official position of the other party is known, it is not difficult to know the identity of the other party, and it is not necessary to ask from the mouths of the two guards.

"Cousin girl—" the voice came, and the coachman was out of breath and came running, "You, are you alright?"

Xiao Lian's face turned cold: "You still have the nerve to ask the girl if there is nothing wrong, how did you drive the carriage? The horse pulling the carriage was shocked, and you jumped out of the carriage, regardless of the girl's life or death!"

The coachman lost his hair when he heard the words, and he burst into tears: "Damn the old slave, the old slave saw the bullock cart coming from the opposite side, his mind went blank, and he forgot everything..."

Xin You ignored the coachman's explanation and walked towards the fallen horse.

That day, it was this horse that drove her from Xiaoshan Village to Shaoqing Mansion.

Although she doesn't know horses, she knows that the horses that pull carts are docile.Miss Kou fell off the cliff first, and the medicine for health became the medicine for harming people later, she didn't think that this startle was an accident.

And if it wasn't an accident, how did the man behind the scenes scare the horse?
Drugs?Or is the horse suddenly in pain?
Xin You walked around the dead horse and stopped to observe carefully.

Seeing Xinyou like this, Xiaolian didn't care to scold the coachman, walked over quickly, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, did you find anything?"

"Cry." Xin You uttered a word lightly.

Xiao Lian was stunned, not understanding the meaning of these words for a moment.

"Crying for me falling off a cliff and startling a horse." Hearing the footsteps of the coachman approaching, Xin You said lightly and quickly.

Although Xiao Lian still didn't understand why she did this, the trust she had built these days made her cry without hesitation.

"Cousin girl—" the coachman just opened his mouth, but the following words were choked back by the little maid's sudden howls.

The two guards were also stunned.

Those passers-by who stopped to watch the excitement because of the frightened horses were about to disperse, but now they don't move.

Always listen to why the little maid is crying before leaving.

"My poor girl, I fell off a cliff while climbing a mountain with my cousins ​​a few days ago, and managed to survive the catastrophe. Today, I ran into a frightened horse when I went out. If there was no righteous man to save me, I would have been hit by a bullock cart... "

"Little Lian, don't cry anymore."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu' Xiaolian covered her face, and met her sad black eyes through her fingers. What's the matter, wouldn't the old lady give away a white-haired person again, how sad it would be..."

"Okay, I'm fine, don't cry anymore." Xin You frowned, but was relieved by Xiaolian's tacit understanding.

In a short period of time, it was impossible for her to find out the reason why the horse was frightened, let alone when she returned to the Shaoqing Mansion.People in the world are gossipy and suspicious, Xiao Lian's crying will always cause people to think about conspiracy, as long as there is such a rumor, the person who caused Kou Qingqing will have to weigh it if they want to do it again.

As for the faint stigma this crying brought to the Shaoqing Mansion, let her charge some interest for Miss Kou first.

"My servant is afraid that something will happen to you again..." Xiao Lian hugged Xin You, and the warm body temperature made her cry more vividly.

As for the impact that Xiaolian's crying would have on the Shaoqing Mansion, the coachman and guards in the situation hadn't thought about it yet, and they were only focused on persuading the master and servant to return to the mansion as soon as possible.

"Going back." Xin You didn't delay any longer, and took Xiao Lian into the carriage that the guards rented from passers-by at a high price.

After they walked away, the spectators curiously talked about Xinyou's identity.

"As the girl said just now, her surname is Kou, and Duan Shaoqing from Taipusi is her uncle."

"It turned out to be a cousin girl from the Shaoqing Mansion, so what happened to the white-haired man sending the black-haired man?"

"I don't know, it's not eye-catching in Shaoqing's Mansion in the capital, so I didn't pay attention."

"Then inquire about it?"

"Walk."
