Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

A voice sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Taking a quick look, I saw that the tea room on the second floor had an open window and a man was sitting in it.

The man approached the window, only showing his side face. He was clear and gentle, with a jade-like temperament. His fingertips were resting on the lid of the porcelain cup, his eyes were half lowered, and he was looking downstairs.

Who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Ji?

Liu Kuai was stunned, his back felt a little cold, and he smiled on his face, "Shen...Master Shen...why do you have time to come and sit in the building?"

Shen Ji ignored his flattery and said warmly, "You just said the wrong thing."

Liu Kuai's mouth trembled, and he hurriedly responded, "Yes, I'm just joking. Master Shen..."

"It's not that we are in love, she hasn't agreed to me yet, it's because I miss her wholeheartedly."

Liu Kuai was stunned, his smile froze on his face, and he didn't understand the situation for a moment.

However, Shen Ji didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. He only said that the tea was good, got up, went downstairs, and left the place.

After this, word of mouth spread, and everyone in the capital knew about Shen Ji's thoughts and how Master Shen, who was like an immortal, pursued his sweetheart.

Master Shen also won a new title: Dog Skin Plaster.

Changfan reported in a low voice and looked at Xie Li in front of him angrily, "Your Majesty, that's what happened."

"Dog-skin plaster?"

"Isn't the prince angry?" Chang Fan was puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Normally, once you hear that Master Shen and Madam are hooked up, you will be half angry to death."

Xie Li was in a daze for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked out the window. His eyes fell on the branches that had sprouted again in the courtyard. He whispered, "In the past, I only thought he was a joke. I thought he was no different from ordinary people. I just fell in love with him." My mother’s appearance… has changed today.”

"Withered trees sprout new buds in spring. If my mother can live a happy life, I should recognize him."

After finishing his words, Xie Li looked sideways at him and asked in a low voice, "He went to a teahouse. Is there any objection in the capital?"

Changfan shook his head and whispered, "I think it's strange, too. It was rumored outside that Master Shen was having an affair with the eldest young lady. There were scoldings in the capital, blaming the eldest young lady for being restless in the house. But when it was madam's turn, The people outside actually recognize it."

"For some reason, there are suddenly a lot of good words about Madam in the capital. Even her charity work for the poor and saving people and treating epidemics have been brought up again. Now when people mention Madam, they all give a thumbs up!"

Hearing this, the gloom in Xie Li's brows and eyes dissipated, and the corners of his lips curled up, "In order to save my mother, it's really difficult for him."

There were footsteps outside, and Xie Li shut up in time.

The next moment, Ye Ming's voice sounded from the courtyard, "Your Majesty, Madam is awake."

Dongshi Villa
Fang Xu woke up quietly, his vision changed from blurry to clear. He looked sideways and saw a group of people sitting around his bed.

"you……"

As soon as Fang Xu opened his mouth, his throat hurt unbearably.

"Mom, drink some water quickly to moisten your throat." Xie Wanzhou helped her up, took the teacup handed by Lian Yan, and brought it to Fang Xu's lips, "You have smoked too much smoke, and now you wake up with a naturally sore throat. uncomfortable."

Fang Xu took a sip of warm water and felt that his throat felt better.

"Mother..." Liu Fanyin held her hand, her eyes moist, "How did you escape with a whole garden of people?"

Fang Xu thought about it carefully and murmured, "I was taking a nap at that time. Baiji was staring at the medicinal food in the small kitchen. I vaguely heard the sound of the door being locked. When I opened my eyes, there was a fire in the house." "The fire." It was so weird and violent that I only had time to put on my shoes when the pillars in the house were already on fire."

"Baiji wanted to come to save me, but was blocked by the door lock. She had no choice but to break in through the window and rescue me, but she was almost engulfed in flames."

Fang Xu's eyes moved slightly, and there was a fierce flash in his eyes, "She smoked too much and passed out in the house. She only left a sentence: There is a dog hole on the east wall of the yard, which leads directly to the side door of the Hou Mansion. Let me hurry up and escape." go."

"Mother..." Liu Fanyin looked at the gauze wrapped around her forearm, her eyes full of heartache, "So you went back to save Bai Ji and left him injured."

Fang Xu did not deny it, but simply said, "It's just a scar. It can always be removed. It's nothing compared to her life."

Su Zi on the side covered her mouth tightly, holding back tears and preventing herself from crying.

They met the best master in the world.

Xie Li grasped the key point, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Did mother notice anything strange about the fire?"

Fang Xu's face was gloomy, and there was no warmth in his eyes. "The fire didn't start in the kitchen, but started in my house. This is a strange place, and I smelled the smell of saltpeter and sulfur."

"Saltpeter...sulfur..." Xie Li's eyes darkened and he murmured, "Add charcoal to it, it's explosive."

"This is a method in the army. Who knows, I don't need to say more." Fang Xu raised his eyes to look at him and said word by word, "I have been away for a long time. If it were him, I would have to pay with my life." I."

Xie Li's face darkened, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists, and he whispered, "My son understands."

Jail
Xia Zhao was sitting on a small wooden stool, with iron chains on his hands and feet, but it did not prevent him from eating meat and drinking wine.

The yamen servant stood by, not daring to say a word, let alone treat him poorly.

Xia Zhao is currently being held in custody, and the charges have not yet been determined. The government doesn't know how to deal with him, so they can only try their best to let go and turn a blind eye to prevent him from stumbling upon them after he is acquitted.

The yamen servant on the right pursed his lips, waved to the brother on the side, and whispered, "Third brother, this one looks very ambitious. He doesn't look like he will be sentenced to death."

The yamen servant who was called the third son glanced at Xia Zhao who was eating and drinking, and had no idea, "Let's pay for it first. As soon as he came in, he asked us for four pig's trotters, a plate of elbows, and a pot of shochu." , How can someone who is not sure be so calm and calm?"

"Yes." The man nodded and glanced at Xia Zhao again, not daring to say anything more.

After a while, footsteps sounded from Tianlao.

The officials looked up and saw two figures outside the door. Shen Ji and Xie Li entered the prison one after the other.

No matter how you say it, the Yamen servant is a person who eats the public food of Tianjia. How could he not even recognize the two of them, so he immediately held his sword and saluted.

Xie Li waved his hand, signaling for them to leave.

The government officials looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't dare to respond and walked out of the prison together.

Shen Ji took off the key hanging on the wall, opened the copper lock, pushed the iron door, and walked in slowly.

A flash of white broke into his sight. Xia Zhao paused with his meat-eating hand, then sneered, as if he knew they were coming, "You guys are so slow, much later than I expected."

Xie Li had a sneer on his lips and kicked over the table in front of him. The soup was mixed with white wine and spread all over the floor. "You do have some leisure time. You can hide here and enjoy the delicious food."

Xia Zhao wiped his mouth with his sleeves unhurriedly, looked up at him, his eyes full of contempt, "What is there to be afraid of when someone is about to die?" (End of Chapter)
