In the study, Old Man Xu looked at Xu Er, who was full of ashes, and said nothing.

"Old man, the little one is really not intentional!" Xu Er knelt on the ground and shivered, making a final struggle.

Ming Zhongxin smiled slightly, and stepped forward to help Xu Er.

Xu Er was taken aback, looked at Ming Zhongxin, and then looked at Old Man Xu, he was at a loss, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"Steward Xu, I was frightened just now!" Ming Zhongxin patted Xu Er's shoulder and comforted.

Frightened? Xu Er looked at Ming Zhongxin with a puzzled face.

Ming Zhongxin looked at Old Man Xu and saw that he was expressionless, but he didn't mean to stop him, so he smiled slightly.

"Steward Xu, actually, my husband and I were acting just now, but you were tired and frightened!"

Acting? Xu Er was even more stunned, not knowing why, and stared blankly at Ming Zhongxin.

"I guess you also know that our little grandfather was hit by two sharp arrows, one of which you shot!"

"Xu Er really didn't mean it!" When Xu Er heard this, Ji Lingling shuddered and shouted loudly.

"Understood, understood!" Ming Zhongxin hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Not only do I understand, you didn't mean it, but the old man understands your loyalty to the little grandfather even more, there is no doubt about it!" ”

When Xu Er heard this, he looked at Ming Zhongxin gratefully, what a good person, excuse himself!

"You also know that the second arrow came from outside the prison, that is, there is a person lurking outside the prison!"

Well! Xu Er nodded in approval.

"And who is this lurking person, who is sacred, who does it belong to, whether it is friend or foe, presumably, you also want to know, right?"

Well! Xu Erzhong nodded emphatically, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"And this lurking person is really the culprit who made the little grandfather unconscious!"

Indeed, if it weren't for that arrow, I'm afraid that Little Grandpa Xu wouldn't be unconscious so far! You don't have to be so scared! What a hateful person that lurks! Xu Er thought so.

"According to my judgment and that of my husband, that person must be related to Zhu Yuanwai, and it is more likely that Zhu Yuanwai arranged a helper. Therefore, we acted in this play, making him think that the man was the hero who saved the little grandfather from death, so that he would grasp this life-saving straw and provide the man's hiding place, and then we could arrest the culprit and avenge the little grandfather! ”

Xu Er's eyes lit up, and Chong Mingzhong said, "That is to say, isn't the old man really blaming me?" ”

"You think about it too much, how can the old man blame you for being a loyal steward like you!" Ming Zhongxin said with a smile.

"Thank you, old man, don't blame you!" When Xu Er heard this, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly at Old Man Xu.

"That's it, it's no wonder you, I wanted to get out of the thief's words on the spur of the moment, but fortunately, Master Ming cooperated with me in time, otherwise, I am alone, I am afraid that this scene will also be smashed! Here, Master Ming, Xu thank you again! As he spoke, Old Master Xu arched his hand at Ming Zhongxin, and a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

"The old man laughed, speaking of which, the little grandfather's arrow is also related to me, and it is my duty to find the murderer. So, I just did my part! Ming Zhongxin hurriedly returned the salute.

Xu Er was thinking carefully on the side, after all, as a steward, his mind was also extremely delicate, otherwise, how could he stand out in the huge Guogong Mansion and be favored by the little grandfather?

Before, it was because he was frightened by the attitude of Old Man Xu, but now that he has settled down and thought about it carefully, he has guessed the thoughts of Ming Zhongxin and his old man, after all, he has also experienced the whole thing, and he knows the inside story best, and after thinking about it, the inside story will be clear!

Presumably these two people, seeing that the punishment could not make Zhu Yuanwai speak, they had an idea and thought of the trick of "cheating", because they knew that Zhu Yuanwai was knocked out by Ming Zhongxin at that time, and the inside story must not be very clear, they created an atmosphere and set up the virtual situation, so that Zhu Yuanwai misunderstood and made a wrong judgment, and the murderer was caught.

The situation is just as they expected, that Zhu Yuanwai took the bait, but now is not the time to be happy, after all, the information given by Zhu Yuanwai has not been verified, who knows if he is really fooled.

"Master Ming is polite, if it weren't for your wonderful hand to rejuvenate, I'm afraid that my child would die in Huangquan!" Old man Xu is colorful.

"Okay, let's stop flattering each other, let's get down to business first!" Ming Zhongxin waved his hand in shame and brought the topic back to the topic.

"It's good!" Old Master Xu is also a decisive person, so he no longer dwells on these and nodded in response.

Then he turned his head and looked at Xu Er, "Xu Er, this matter is up to you, if you do it well, you will be guilty." Remember, you must respectfully welcome this person back, but you must not say much in the process! ”

Xu Er's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood Old Man Xu's intentions, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, come here!" Old man Xu commanded Xu Er.

Xu Er hurriedly stepped forward, attached his ears to it, and listened to the command.

Although Old Master Xu was instructing Xu Er, his eyes turned to Ming Zhongxin from time to time.

But seeing that Mingzhong was calm and relaxed, he picked up the teacup without changing his face, and tasted it carefully, without any curiosity.

Old Master Xu nodded secretly, yes, I feel angry, and I am not moved by my distrust, atmospheric!

"Alright, that's it, go ahead, do it nicely!" Old man Xu nodded at Xu Er and finished the order.

"Yes!" Xu Er responded energetically and turned away in high spirits.

"Master Ming, let's just wait for the good news!" Old man Xu and Ming Zhongxin looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Not to mention how Old Man Xu and Ming Zhongxin arranged in the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, and said that Xu Er, who received the military order, took a few family members out of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion and went straight to the Qinhuai River in the southern city.

The Qinhuai River, a tributary of the right bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. In ancient times, it was called Longzangpu, the Han Dynasty called Huaishui, it is said that Qin Shi Huang went on an eastern tour of the Moling, and there was a "royal spirit" in this place, and ordered to dig a clear gang in the area of Fangshan and Shiqi Mountain in the southeast of Nanjing City, and guide Longzangpu north into the Yangtze River to break it, and changed its name to Qinhuai after the Tang Dynasty. After Tang Dumu's poem "Bo Qinhuai" was published, the name of Qinhuai River began to flourish in the world. In Li Bai's poem "Farewell to the Princes of Jinling", there are also "six generations of more overlords, and the ruins are seen in the capital." So far, between Qinhuai and Qinhuai, the poem "Rites and Music Show Heroes", the name of the "Qinhuai" river has appeared.

The Qinhuai River has two sources in the north and south, the north source Jurong River originates from the southern foot of Baohua Mountain in Jurong City, the south source Lishui River originates in Donglu Mountain, Lishui District, Nanjing City, the two rivers converge into the main stream of the Qinhuai River in the northwest village of Fangshandai, Jiangning District, Nanjing City, bypassing Fangshan to the northwest to the outer city gate Shangfang Gate flows into Nanjing City from Dongshuiguan, traverses the urban area from east to west, and flows out from Xishuiguan in the south and flows into the Yangtze River.

Most of the Qinhuai River is in the territory of Nanjing, is the largest regional river in Nanjing, historically, its navigation, irrigation role, gave birth to the ancient civilization of Nanjing, known as the mother river of Nanjing.

The Ming Dynasty is the heyday of the ten-mile Qinhuai, the rich gathered, the green buildings are lined up, the painting boat Lingbo, and it has become a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Lantern Festival to set off 10,000 small lanterns on the Qinhuai River, on both sides of the Qinhuai River, the Chinese lanterns are brilliant, the gold powder is on the platform, the rows are lined up, and the painting boat Lingbo.

The night of Qinhuai is a scene of Nanjing City.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River at night, she is like a lady who is half-covered with plain yarn, hazy and a little charming. Just like a poem says, "Ten miles of Qinhuai, ten miles of bead curtains". When you go to Nanjing, you can't help but go to the Qinhuai River at night.

Qin Huai lights up the world. Night tour Qinhuai, boating and watching the lanterns are a feast for the eyes, not to mention, there are also a variety of snacks for you to feast on. Especially on the big stage of Bailuzhou's "Ten Thousand Styles", watching the large-scale water live performance "Night Park Qinhuai" will definitely open your eyes.

The bridge is the soul of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River and the soul of the Qinhuai River. The first bridge crossed by the water tour is Wenyuan Bridge. Confucius Temple, also known as Confucius Temple and Confucian Temple, is used to worship Confucius, a famous thinker and educator in ancient China. Wenyuan Bridge, as the name suggests, is the Confucian culture represented by Confucius has a long history.

Although Confucian culture prevailed on the banks of the Qinhuai River, the Qinhuai River is more famous for its peach blossom land of Qinhuai beauties.

As we walked on, a faint fragrance struck, and the riverside was originally spread with layers of green willows and oleanders. After passing the Pingjiang Bridge, Bailuzhou, which is known as the "pearl" on the water, displays a colorful night view in front of our eyes. This is the private garden of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, named after the poem of the poet immortal Li Bai, "three mountains and half fall into the blue sky, and the two waters divide the white heron continent". It is also a garden featuring bridges, and there are 15 small bridges in the park that resemble a ribbon, and the seats are elegant and exquisite. What is a single-hole bridge, a three-hole bridge, a seven-hole bridge...... The short jade curtain and the long jade belt vividly decorate the beautiful garden. A red and yellow archway spans the water, with the book "Fengya Egret". It is rumored that during the Southern Dynasty, it was already a beautiful cloud, and in the Ming Dynasty, it became a place for Qinhuai beauties to learn their skills.

Let's say that Xu Er and the others came to the outside of this garden, took a small boat forward, and the boat swung into a winding corridor, and gradually entered the best place. The long corridor is actually a poetry tablet gallery, each tablet is engraved with Li Bai and other celebrity poems, and the left side of the poem is engraved with a portrait of a beauty, "a talented man with a beautiful woman" like a display of the Qinhuai River.

Finally, I came to a small door.

And look around, only to see the small door above, written "Qinyuan" two words.

This is the private garden of the Zhongshan Palace.

Xu Er looked at this plaque and sighed in his heart, what a boldness! Hiding here, no one would have thought of it!

It's all empty to sigh or something, or it's important to do the right thing!

Xu Er cleaned up his mood, smiled all over his face, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

With a creak, the small door opened, and a head sticked out,

"Ah, Steward Xu!" But I saw the man scream in surprise, and the small door opened wide and pounced out.

"Oh, Xu Fu, you're on duty today!" Xu Er smiled reservedly.

"It's the little one!" That Xu Fu didn't care, and stepped forward with a smile on his face, giving up his hands, and the flattery varied.

"Xu Fu! What's going on in the park these days? Xu Er frowned and asked.

In the past, hearing these flattering words, Xu Er was infinitely happy in his heart, but today he has a life, but he is entangled by this Xu Fu, and he is a little upset! I had to divert the topic.

"Oh, Steward Lao Xu asked, everything is fine in the garden! Nothing! Xu Fu responded.

"Oh!" Xu Er let out a meaningful sigh and walked into Qinyuan with his legs raised.

Xu Fu followed closely, farts upside down, and explained the situation in the garden for Xu Er.

But Xu Er was so full of thought that he couldn't listen to his narration at all.

It's just that his eyes are dripping, looking left and right, and his eyes are extremely strange.

Xingxing Xingxing, the two came to a lotus pond, Xu Er stopped, looked left and right, and waved his hand to stop Xu Fu's nagging.

"Alright, go down! I'm here quiet! ”

Xu Fu was stunned for an instant, looking around, such a desolate place, what did Steward Xu do here?

However, the official level crushes people to death, not to mention, he is just a small guy, but he is in charge, and he is many levels bigger, not to mention, he is a big celebrity in front of the little grandfather! Just do what you are told! It's a pity that this opportunity to tie up with the boss!

You know, this work of staying in the garden is drudgery, not to mention how the work is, just saying that this loneliness can make people crazy, a huge garden, stunned that there are few people to live, including myself only five or six people, or guard at each gate and small door, only when eating, can we meet, and there is not much to say! It can drive people crazy!

Moreover, usually no one in the Guogong Mansion came to investigate, but now this Grand Steward Xu actually came in person, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If you grasp this good opportunity, let the chief steward Xu greet him, don't say anything fat, just leave here, and you will have to worship the gods and Buddhas!

Although I have all kinds of thoughts in my heart, I can only do what the steward Xu commands! Otherwise, if you make people angry, if you say more, and drive yourself out of Xu's mansion, then there will be no place to cry!

"Steward Xu, I'm just waiting outside, just tell me anything!" After speaking, Xu Fu bowed and turned away obediently.

"Go out too!" Xu Er waved his hand at the two family members.

"Yes!" The two family members also went out.

Xu Er saw that everyone was gone, sat on the fence next to the pool, stared at the lotus pond in a daze, and was silent for a long time.

Will be Lemi, the cause of urgency, the matter is in charge, there is Chizhu. Twelve words suddenly resounded beside the lotus pond.

Listen carefully, take a look. Oh, it turned out that Xu Er was talking to himself there.

As he muttered to himself, his eyes were rolling up and down, looking around, as if looking for something.

However, there was no sound at all.

Read again, look again, and probe.

There was still no movement.

Xu Er was anxious, stood up, looked around, and said that there were words in his mouth, and they were still those twelve words.

Oh! Xu Er slapped his head suddenly, his eyes lit up, he took out something from his arms and raised it above his head.

He read aloud, "Hui Lemi, the cause of urgency, the matter is in charge, there is Chizhu." ”

Before the voice fell, there was a bang, and a sound sounded beside the silent lotus pond.
