Chapter 42
Xie Jiuxiao raised his head, but didn't believe it. He felt that this was her deceitful words. The arrow was already on the string, and there was no possibility of turning back!
Lu Chengfeng's voice was a little softer, he looked at him and met his gaze, which seemed to comfort people: "I know that Fan Jie is probably on the way, and before the matter is clear, he should only bring the guards of the Fan family. You believe that I can handle it well, no one will know about this matter tomorrow, I promise you, Chen Shou will definitely retract his confession tomorrow."

Xie Jiuxiao's expression loosened. In the past month or so, his heart has become a bow, and Xie Yunqian is the bow and arrow that was shot, but she said that the arrow can be intact now.

Lu Chengfeng stretched out his hand and slowly put it on his right shoulder. Seeing that he didn't move, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You have to be more obedient."

Xie Jiuxiao opened his mouth, the bloodshot eyes subsided a little, replaced by another touch of red, he gradually buried his head on Lu Chengfeng's waist, and did not speak.

The hall was silent, the cold moonlight shone on the ground, and the figures of the two were reflected in it.

Shisan heard that there was no movement inside, so he entered first, followed by Tang Shijiu: "Take..."

Thirteen Shengsheng was stuck in his throat, even though it was the second time he met him, he was even more shocked than the first time, staring at the strange scene in front of him with wide eyes, Tang Nineteen was also stunned.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't explain it, she didn't know why Xie Jiuxiao seemed to be crying again, looked sideways, and said, "After untying someone, take him to a side room to wait, and then light some candles, the black cloth Longdong in this hall doesn't know Some people thought it was haunted, and on the [-]th, you took people to the gate of the village, and the Fan family came here to take them."

Tang Nineteen was slightly stunned, but Xie Jiuxiao didn't make a sound, as if he was letting Lu Chengfeng decide, so he went out in response.

It's really evil, this Lu Chengfeng actually restrained the second young master!

There were only two of them left in the lobby, Lu Chengfeng looked down helplessly, "I'm ashamed to throw it in front of my subordinates."

Xie Jiuxiao's voice was a bit muffled: "They can't see."

Lu Chengfeng said: "...What's wrong with you, how old are you still crying?"

"……I do not have."

As if to verify that he wasn't lying, Xie Jiuxiao raised his head, and his eyes were so caught off guard.

Lu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, you haven't, can you let me go?"

Xie Jiuxiao let go of him slowly.

Thirteen fetched a row of candles to light up the hall, and went to the kitchen to boil hot water, but found no tea leaves. This mountain villa is a place to escape from the summer heat, and there is no one there on weekdays, so he just brought it up.

Not long after, footsteps came from outside the hall. Nineteen stood outside the hall and nodded slightly: "Master Fan, please come in."

Fan Jie entered the room alone.

Sitting next to Xie Jiuxiao, Lu Chengfeng met Fan Jie's eyes, and he looked puzzled: "...Lu Chengfeng?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly, and said, "Master Fan, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here and you will be fine."

Fan Jie glanced between the two, and said, "Where are Lingxiu and He'er?"

Lu Chengfeng waved his hand: "Master Fan, don't worry, they are fine, I have something to say to you."

Thinking that the man was still in their hands, Fan Jie held his temper and said, "You talked to me? Are you talking to me, or Xie Cen to me?"

Fan Jie's eyes showed coldness, and he glared at Xie Jiuxiao: "Xie Cen! Hand over the man, and I can pretend that nothing happened tonight! Otherwise, I will definitely take part in the Xie family book tomorrow morning!"

Lu Chengfeng had told Xie Jiuxiao just now that no matter what Fan Jie said, he should ignore it and ignore it. Xie Jiuxiao only glanced at the person and said nothing.

Lu Chengfeng said: "Master Fan, please don't get angry. It's really helpless to invite you here tonight. Let's open the skylight and tell the truth. Master Fan also knows that Xie Yunqian was framed by Chen Shou. As a second-rank official, you have no choice but to be an official of the same dynasty." It is not an exaggeration to talk about the friendship of colleagues."

Fan Jie snorted coldly, and said, "What does Xie Yunqian's corruption have to do with me? You release him immediately!"

Lu Chengfeng bent his legs and leaned back, with a half-smile, and said: "Lord Fan hasn't seen his temper growing for many years. It's reasonable. You owe the Xie family a promotion. Although others don't know it, I know it very well. You How did you get the position of servant, eh?"

Fan Jie looked at her expressionlessly.

Lu Chengfeng looked back quietly.

The night wind blew the candles flickering, there were obviously three people, but no one spoke for a while, and the hall looked very strange.

Fan Jie didn't expect them to meet again, seven years ago she was just a cardamom girl, and he was just an unknown official at that time, and seven years later she became a criminal who everyone can spit on.

She has changed a lot, but it seems that she has not changed. Those eyes have receded and are full of vigor. After seven years of precipitation, they are becoming more and more difficult to ignore.

Fan Jie said in a deep voice: "I was kindly promoted by the Xie family. I remember it, but it was definitely not at this time."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Master Fan, you mean you don't want to help?"

"Forgive Fan for being helpless."

Lu Chengfeng laughed lightly, stood up, and said, "Ming Xing's 19th year in summer and July, Chen Shou gave you 10 taels of silver. Do you still remember this incident, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Jie's complexion changed slightly, his eyes fixed on Lu Chengfeng, but his heart became suspicious.

Lu Chengfeng paced back and forth, with a smile on his lips: "In less than two months, Chen Shou became the magistrate of Suyuan County, Mr. Fan, do you think the people in Yanjing City are so curious why Chen Shou gave you 10 taels for no reason? "

Fan Jie narrowed his eyes, with a stern expression: "Nonsense!"

"You know if you're talking nonsense." Lu Chengfeng looked at the candles side by side with his hands behind his back, and reached out to touch them: "In February last year, Chen Shou gave another 30 taels, and at the end of spring, he became the prefect of Lingxi , accepting bribes, buying and selling official positions, using power for personal gain..."

Lu Chengfeng sneered: "Fan Jie, do you think these charges are enough to cut off your head?"

Although Fan Jie was a little restless, his expression was still calm, and he said, "Only based on your own words?"

Lu Chengfeng turned to look at him with a sarcastic face: "Master Fan, some things are too straightforward, but we can't talk about them."

Fan Jie fell into silence for a while.

Lu Chengfeng said quietly: "Or do you mean that you are as fearless as Chen Shou? Good integrity! I admire it!"

Fan Jie suddenly stared at Lu Chengfeng bitterly, his face distorted: "It's you!"

Lu Chengfeng didn't answer, but said: "Tomorrow noon, if Xie Yunqian can't leave the gate of Dali Temple as scheduled, then tomorrow you, the Minister of Rites, will probably do your best. Not only that, none of the descendants of the Fan family will be able to get away with it. None of them who have colluded with you will be able to escape!"

Fan Jie stood up in shock with a gloomy face. He never expected that the ledger would fall into Lu Chengfeng's hands!
When Fan Jie left, his expression was extremely ugly.

Lu Chengfeng stood in the hall, staring at the candles for a while, and suddenly blew out a row of candles silently.

She knew that the expression on her face must be abnormal, and she also knew that Xie Jiuxiao, who had been sitting there silent for a long time, had a lot to ask, and she knew that there would be endless unknown disasters waiting for her if she was exposed rashly.

Facing someone like Fan Jie who has been polished in the officialdom for many years, she can't show timidity, and can only control the overall situation tonight, so that he can't find a single flaw in her.

Xie Jiuxiao got up from the chair and stood behind her. Lu Chengfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Go back, your elder brother will be able to come out of Dali Temple tomorrow."

Xie Jiuxiao frowned: "Where are you going?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "The house in the east of the city has been tidied up, I will..."

"Sister." Xie Jiuxiao interrupted her: "...I won't ask anything, you can leave the house after the autumn hunt."

There was a moment of silence between the two, and Shisan entered in time to remind: "Master, everything is ready."

Xie Jiuxiao approached her and said, "Come back home with me."

After getting into the carriage, Lu Chengfeng closed his eyes, apparently not wanting to talk about what happened tonight.

Fan Jie didn't want to take down the entire Fan family in order to bring down a Xie family, and he didn't dare to take on those people, so until he had no flaws, Fan Jie could only be controlled by her everywhere.

There was a slight gasp from beside him, and Lu Chengfeng wanted to ignore it, but Xie Jiuxiao hummed softly again, as if trying to cover up.

Lu Chengfeng had no choice but to open his eyes and look at him: "What's going on?"

Xie Jiuxiao lowered his head, his eyelashes trembled: "Hands hurt so much."

Lu Chengfeng sneered: "Now you know your hand hurts? Why didn't you cry out for pain when you were shouting and killing in Zhuangzi?"

Xie Jiuxiao curled his lips and raised his hand in front of her: "Look..."

That hand was indeed bloody, and the blood had even begun to dry up.

Lu Chengfeng's eyes sank, he supported him and said, "What's going on?"

Xie Jiuxiao observed her expression calmly, his tone was low and cautious: "... accidentally scratched."

Accidentally scratched?I'm afraid it was because the guards of the Fan family resisted desperately when they attacked.

Lu Chengfeng didn't expose his lie, he observed the wound, Xie Jiuxiao looked at the person, and vaguely noticed that Lu Chengfeng seemed to be angry.

Xie Jiuxiao paused, facing that pretty face, and said in a flattering tone: "...I know I was wrong."

Lu Chengfeng let go of his hand lightly.

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't sit still anymore, half stood up and squatted in front of Lu Chengfeng, forced to appear in her line of sight, with a drooping face: "...Sister."

Lu Chengfeng gave him a cold look.

"I promise." Xie Jiuxiao raised the good arm: "I will always listen to you in the future!"

This is completely different from the person who was in the hall just now with a hostile look as if he was on the verge of hell.

Lu Chengfeng looked at him strangely, and was finally defeated by Xie Jiuxiao's fawning eyes: "... I will not be an example."

Xie Jiuxiao smiled instantly and nodded vigorously.
