Chapter 607: People in the Imperial Court
As soon as he touched the chair, Ruan Di was very happy in his heart. She looked at Zhang Yi's calm face with her own eyes, and suddenly there was a flash of surprise and doubt.
She smiled and said, "Naturally, I was eavesdropping under the window two months ago!" "This stool is so soft!" β
Ruan Di's last sentence was originally a heartfelt compliment, but he saw Zhang Yi's face with a black line.
Zhang Yi sat down on another chair beside her, looked at the door, and said loudly: "Miss Ruan, if you can submit to me, I will not embarrass you and your friends, and I will treat you with courtesy." β
After hearing this, Ruan Di just sneered: "Zhang Yi, do you know that my father Ruan Tao is the head of the household department, and my husband Qi Xiaoxian is the commander of the Qing Officials Department of the imperial court. I'm just a little Dongwu assassin, why do you bother to persuade me to submit? β
"I was originally a lover of talent, and when I saw a good talent, I wanted to get it. From the moment Miss Ruan entered the door to the present, her conversation and mind are not inferior to my Central Plains man, which can be said to be a process that does not let her eyebrows go. That's why I had the idea of converting you to the next day. β
Zhang Yi gave an answer without thinking, but Ruan Di was silent this time.
She was very puzzled. That Zhang Yi actually said that she "talks and does not lose to men in the slightest", Ruan Di asked herself, she is afraid that she will not be able to meet this requirement in her life - at least not in the political direction. As for doing business, Ruan Di has always been very confident, and whenever she thinks of her thriving business, she is proud.
Thinking of this, Ruan Di couldn't help but "giggle".
Zhang Yi didn't know why, so he was silent for a while and said, "I know that you sneaked into the mansion to collect evidence." β
Ruan Di's laughter was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't pronounce a syllable again.
In my heart, I only silently said, "Dead and dead, this sheep entered the tiger's mouth, and was discovered by the tiger!" The whole person was stunned.
Zhang Yi stood up and threw down a sentence lightly: "Miss Ruan, the one who knows the times is Junjie." In three days' time, I will officially revolt against the court, and you will give me an answer when the time comes. β
Ruan Di sat under the lamp, looking out the window at the night that soaked the sky at some point, and her heart was even more cold as water.
At this moment, a horse came from the gate of the city, and the sound of the horse's hooves brought up a cloud of dust, and the black figure disappeared into the night.
Qi Xiaoxian was so anxious that he didn't have time to get off the horse and rushed into the city of Changping in Eastern Wu.
Since the afternoon before yesterday, his eyelids have been beating wildly, and now he remembered that now everyone around him is in Beijing, and there will be no problems, only Ruan Di, who is alone in Changping, I don't know if she can be alone.
Immediately, day and night, it coincided with the ten-year martial arts conference held in Gwangju, and at that time, the checkpoints along the way were extremely strict, so it delayed a lot of trips.
This martial arts conference Qi Xiaoxian was born at the wrong time, and he grew up in Beijing since he was a child, which is unheard of. On the way, I heard those high-rollers in the rivers and lakes be amazed, saying that the martial arts conference is held in Soochow every year, but for some reason it was changed to Gwangju this year. I don't know what happened to Changping.
Qi Xiaoxian was even more anxious, but there were many people in Guangzhou at the moment, and the investigation was strict, so it took a day and a half to rush to Changping.
Qi Xiaoxian got off the horse and walked slowly on the street, looking at the inn on the side of the street.
On a huge plaque, the four-character dragon flying phoenix dance of "Laifu Inn" is quite a bit of a famous family, Qi Xiaoxian looked up again, only to see the eaves of the inn on stilts, flying pavilion liudan, intrigues, it looks extremely atmospheric.
As soon as his heart moved, even if Qi Xiaoxian led the horse to the door, the shopkeeper had already come to greet him, and arranged for him to stay in the store.
Qi Xiaoxian's small ingot of gold was checked in his hand, and he saw that the shopkeeper's eyes had moved up and down with the money, so he opened his mouth to lure him: "Shopkeeper, do you have a woman in her twenties and peach cheeks living in the hotel?" β
After speaking, he put the money on the table, and the shopkeeper hurriedly went to get it, but was held down by Qi Xiaoxian and couldn't move.
"Yes, of course. It is on the left side of the third floor. β
The shopkeeper's eyes turned, and he said with a thief's eyebrows.
"Then I'll live next door!" Qi Xiaoxian spread his hand, and the shopkeeper put the gold in his sleeve. Extremely skillful, it seems to be doing this kind of thing often.
The shopkeeper naturally went to arrange the stay in the hotel, and did not mention it.
Qi Xiaoxian cleaned up, he lay on the bed, and his heart was very peaceful and joyful.
But there are some doubts - Ruan Di is alone, even if he takes Mingyu Zhiying, it is impossible for three people to live in four rooms...... The more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and he always felt that the shopkeeper was deceiving him.
A voice outside the door said, "Guest officer, your tea is here." β
Qi Xiaoxian agreed, and the little two pushed the door in and put the tea away. The little second seemed to know what Qi Xiaoxian was going to ask, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, our shopkeeper said that you are next door to people from the imperial court." The lady lives next door to you. β
A wave of ecstasy surged into his heart, Qi Xiaoxian pretended to be calm, thanked the little two, and rewarded a few more ingots of silver.
At that moment, his spirit was shocked, so he got up and packed his clothes and went to the next room to look for Ruan Di.
"Is anyone there?" Qi Xiaoxian stood outside the door, and there was excitement in his voice that could not be concealed.
No one answered for a long time, Qi Xiaoxian felt strange in his heart, and asked a few more times, but there was still no one. Impatient, she forced her way inβthe room was empty, but there was Ruan Di's clothes wrap and the Thorn History Token she was supposed to be carrying.
Qi Xiaoxian was suddenly shocked, and couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart that Ruan Di might just be playing for a while and hadn't come back yet, but another thought clearly told him that when he was already ugly at the moment, how could Ruan Di go out in the middle of the night to spend time drinking?
Qi Xiaoxian couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and went out like a whirlwind, and knocked on the next room again.
"Anyone? Qi Xiaoxian, the commander of the Qing Officials Division, was ordered to investigate the case! β
Showing his identity so carelessly was not Qi Xiaoxian's style, just because he was worried about Ruan Di at the moment, and he couldn't care about it for a while, so he got straight to the point.
A male voice came from inside the door: "Commander of the Qing Division? Please go straight to the door, the door is unlocked. β
Qi Xiaoxian was stunned, and secretly thought that Ruan Di didn't come to Soochow with Zhiying Mingyu? How is it a man? Did he go to the wrong door?
Immediately, I looked around, but found that this was one of the three rooms on the left side of the third floor in the shopkeeper's mouth.
Hearing the response of the people in the house, it seemed that there was no hostility towards him, so Qi Xiaoxian pushed the door open-
But I saw a man I didn't know, dressed in a black robe, and his face was tight.
Qi Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, hugged his fists and said: "Qi Xiaoxian, the contemptible Qing Officer, what do you call Your Excellency?" β
Naturally, there is a hint of temptation in this question.
But he felt a scrutinizing gaze back and forth on him, and the man avoided answering.
"You are Ruan Di's husband?"
