"Arui." Shangguanxi didn't know what to say, and quickly checked his injury.

Xie Xiao was already furious: "I want to bite Lao Tzu before I die!" As he spoke, he dropped the knife and killed the other Japanese pirate neatly. When he was about to kill the Japanese pirate who escaped before, he heard that the Japanese pirate was full of mouth. beg for mercy.

"Heroes, heroes, women... Forgive me, I'm not with them, I was forced, forced..."

He actually spoke a mandarin with an accent that was a bit higher than this summer, who had lived in the capital for a long time, and everyone was stunned.

"It's been a long time, you are a group of fake Orientals!" Xie Xiao took the tip of the knife and poked his ear lightly and hard, so scared that the man didn't dare to move.

"No, no, they are really oriental people. I was arrested by them. They didn't know my life in the inland, so they arrested me. I don't know how to do it at all..."

Pulling off the robe, Shangguan Xi checked it carefully, only one red spot could be seen on Ah Rui's shoulder, the thin needle had penetrated into the skin and could not be found for a while.

Fortunately, there was no darkening of the skin near the wound, and Shangguan Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, he kept this hidden weapon in his mouth, and he didn't apply poison. He just had to find a magnet to suck out the needle as soon as possible."

"No... no problem."

Not used to being shirtless in front of her, A Rui hurriedly pulled up his shirt uncomfortably, not knowing whether it was because of the pain, his face flushed red.

"Why is your face so red?" Jin Xia looked at his face and said in surprise, "Is it really okay?"

A Rui glared at her angrily, and said heavily: "It's okay."

The tip of the knife slashed the ear of the fake Dongyang man a few times, but he shaved a lot of hair without hurting the flesh. Xie Xiao glared at him and asked, "You talk so eloquently of Dongyang, do you want to lie to me?"

"I'm really not..." There were many broken hairs, not knowing if the next knife would cut the scalp, the fake Japanese pirates were so frightened that they trembled.

This summer, he gestured to Xie Xiao to stop first, half squatted down, took his palm and glanced at it, and asked peacefully, "Who is the last name? Who is it from? Why do you speak Oriental dialect?"

"The little one's surname is Zhang, and the single name has one non-character. He is from Huizhou. In the early years, he ran boats at sea for a few years and did business with Oriental people, so he can say something."

"These days, those who dare to run boats at sea are all people, disrespectful and disrespectful!" This summer tutted, "Can I ask who you are eating with?"

Zhang Feidao: "I was young and ignorant at that time. I heard that money would come quickly when I went to sea, so I worked with Wang Zhi for a few years..."

Wang Zhi, courtesy name Wufeng and captain Wufeng, was a native of Tuolin, Xiongcun, She County, Huizhou. Gathering gang members and Japanese ronin at sea to form a smuggling fleet, a large number and well-equipped, claiming to be King Hui. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a ban on the sea, "slabs are not allowed to go to sea", smuggling fleets ran rampant, and Japanese pirates suffered serious problems, which made life difficult for people along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

This summer, he continued to tsk tut: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you are still the man of Boss Wang."

Xie Xiao listened impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? Isn't Wang Zhi's person a Japanese pirate? I will give him a good knife."

"The little ones already knew they were wrong, they just left the fleet because they wanted to change their minds."

"Leaving the fleet, I took the Orientals into the inland. You know they don't recognize the way, so they led the way." Xie Xiao raised his hand and gave him a loud slap in the face.

"I was forced, forced..."

At this moment, there was the sound of water not far away, and there were the voices of oriental people. Shangguan Xi listened carefully: "There are at least seven or eight boats, the fourth, the wind."

Although Xie Xiao was angry, there was someone on the boat who was injured and it was really not easy to stay for a long time, so he raised his foot and kicked the two dead bodies into the water.

Although A Rui was injured, he still wanted to shake the scull. His shoulders hurt, his body numb, and he almost fell. He hurriedly supported him this summer. Shangguanxi took the oars and rowed them, looking at A Rui worriedly.

Zhang Fei moved towards the side of the boat while everyone was not paying attention, and then with a "thump" sound, the water splashed from the side of the boat, and he had already jumped into the water.

Rao Xie Xiao reacted quickly and stretched out his arms to grab it, but unfortunately it was still too late.

"This bastard! I knew that he was not a good thing! I knew it earlier and cut him with a knife." Xie Xiao said angrily.

Shangguanxi shook the boat so fast, the reed leaves slapped the man in the face, and after a while, he returned to the place where he boarded the boat. She helped A Rui to the shore first, and then urgently ordered the doctor to come, her face was always ashen.

This gang of Japanese pirates has a large number, their whereabouts are erratic, and their residence is uncertain. This summer, I want to hurry to inform the government, mobilize troops and horses, and encircle and suppress them. Xie Xiao stopped her and said, "A brother has already gone to inform the government."

"I'm an official, and it's up to me to do it myself."

"As soon as you are a foreign monk, you can't even tell the place name and location, so what's the use of going." Xie Xiao said with contempt, "Besides, if you are a third-rank officer, that's all, but you can't even rank a rank. , who went to listen to you. Listen to me, our gang has a good relationship with the government. We have quite a few familiar faces, and we drink and eat meat every month. They go to report, it is much more useful than your words. ."

His words are indeed reasonable. This summer, I know that I am a light-hearted person. Besides, I came to Jiangnan to investigate Zhou Xianji's case. It would make people feel like dogs taking mice.

After the doctor came, the thin needle on Ah Rui's shoulder could not be absorbed by the magnet, so he had no choice but to cut the skin with a sharp blade and take out the thin needle. A Rui didn't say a word when he was healing, but Shangguan Xi jumped up in shock when he wanted to bandage his wound himself, his face flushed red and he shook his head: "I can't, I can't..."

Shangguan Xi was about to frown, but Xie Xiao had already wrapped him up with a strip of cloth on the side. She glanced at him, but didn't say anything in the end, she walked out slowly, and did not know where to get a set of clothes, and gave it to this summer for her to change.

This summer, I thanked Shangguanxi, changed my clothes, and when the doctor was free, he carefully took out the hidden weapon in his arms: "Doctor, look, what kind of poison is this tempered on?"

The doctor was good at treating traumatic injuries, but he was not familiar with poisons. He immediately took a hidden weapon to the side and used a silver needle to test it.

Xie Xiao had already bandaged the wound for Ah Rui, Ah Rui pursed his lips tightly, didn't even say thank you to the young gang leader, put on his robe, got up and went straight out of the house.

"You should rest for a few days and take care of yourself." Shangguan Xi said to him.

The shoulders were tightly wrapped, and he couldn't lift his hands, but A Rui had to be brave: "Don't rest, this little injury is not in the way."

Xie Xiaoxing came out and interjected: "You can rest as long as the wound heals. I will ask my brothers to bring you good wine and food, you just keep it."

Shangguanxi glanced at him angrily: "He is injured, you still bring wine? Everyone is like you."

"Uh... wrong, wrong, good food and good food." Xie Xiao smiled and changed his words.

Seeing his appearance, Shangguan Xi sighed slightly, her face turned a little darker, and said in a low voice: "With your temperament, I don't know how you spent these years outside."

Xie Xiao smiled and didn't answer.

Seeing the two chatting, Shangguanxi's face finally softened a lot. A Rui saw it in his eyes and silently turned to leave.

Because the doctor couldn't tell what kind of poison was on the hidden weapon, this summer, he had to wrap the hidden weapon and put it in his arms, and walked out of the room frowning.

"Go! I'll invite you to a drink!" Xie Xiao patted her shoulder vigorously.

This summer, he stumbled when he was photographed, and suddenly remembered another thing: "Oops! Forget about Dayang! Let's go, go back and pick him up."

Xie Xiao jumped on the boat, and hurriedly jumped on it this summer.

"Sister, come up quickly!" Xie Xiao called to Shang Guanxi.

Shangguanxi stood still: "Young master, I still have some trivial matters to deal with."

Xie Xiao was careless. Hearing what she said, he didn't even persuade him much, he just said, "Then when you're done, remember to come and find us. I'll be waiting for you in Qifen Pavilion."

This summer, Yuan had already boarded the boat. Seeing Shangguanxi's expression, he thought for a moment, then jumped up to the shore again, and said apologetically, "Sister Shangguan, if I hadn't gone to explore the whereabouts of the Japanese pirates today, I wouldn't have hurt A Rui. Be sure to come to the door and apologize!"

Shangguanxi said lightly: "I can't blame you for this, don't mind."

I can't blame it all, which means that I still have to blame a little bit. This summer, I understand it and continue to accompany the smiling face.

She lowered her voice a bit: "My sister saw Lu Yi this morning, he doesn't seem to know?"

Shangguanxi turned her head and looked at her with both eyes, but couldn't see her emotions: "Did you tell him?"

"No, I don't think he knew anything about it. Thinking that my sister might have other plans, he didn't say anything."

Shangguanxi's eyes softened: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."

After waiting for a while this summer, seeing that she didn't mean to tell him, he said: "Sister, don't worry, I won't talk too much. As the hall master, my sister is naturally courageous and knowledgeable, but let me say one more thing, that Lu Yi is quite shrewd. , the scheming is unpredictable, my sister has to be more careful."

"I know."

She just heard Shangguan Xi said lightly, her head was slightly lowered, and she couldn't see her eyes clearly.

Xie Xiaofu rowed the boat back to the bridge next to Guanqianqian Street. This summer, at a glance, he saw Yang Yue sitting on the stone steps extending into the river, with his head lowered, staring at the river in a daze...

"Dayang!" She called him loudly before the boat approached.

Yang Yue slowly raised his head, looked at them slowly, stood up slowly, and waited for the boat to approach.

"You see people, why are you still slack?" Jin Xia reached out and pulled him onto the boat.

"How did you know that I saw her?"

"You have already sent out the box. With Miss Zhai's care for Lord Lu, she should meet you in person, and most likely she will have to ask you about Lord Lu's preferences."

Yang Yue pushed his forehead in trouble: "She did ask me about Lord Lu's preferences."

"how do you say?"

Interested this summer.

Yang Yue glanced at her and lowered his eyes again: "I said, Master Lu likes to cook in his spare time, and often cooks small dishes himself." This was his own preference.

He paused, then said, "I also said... The millet cake was made by Mr. Lu himself. I think she probably won't give it all to the maid, but will taste some of it herself."

"It's very beautiful, very beautiful, maybe next time she will also make some side dishes as a gift, so that we can eat some too." This summer smiled.

Xie Xiao didn't quite understand it, and said inexplicably, "What side dishes? Aren't you investigating the case?"

"Someone fell for a beauty trick," said this summer with a smile, "but it's fine, don't delay the investigation."

Yang Yue didn't refute her and sat down.

As the leader of the Wu'an Gang, Xie Xiao led them directly to the Qifen Pavilion, asked for a private room upstairs, and ordered a table of dishes.

"Would you like to find someone to sing a ditty? Are you okay?" Xie Xiao really has a lot of money.

This summer, I was leaning out the window to look at the scenery, and I didn't have time to answer. Yang Yue has waved his hands again and again: "No, no..."

"Then don't call it. In fact, I'm also annoyed by listening to humming tunes. Even drinking is unhappy." Xie Xiao picked up a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, "Last time you didn't drink, and your father is not here today. , how about a few drinks for brother to save face?"

Yang Yue was in a bad mood, and since he had nothing to do today, he really wanted to drink a few drinks, he hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Okay."

Xie Xiao beckoned to let the shop boy get two jars of bamboo leaves.

When I returned to the table this summer and saw that the shop assistant was busy, I opened the wine jar, poured a bowl and tasted it: "It's very fragrant wine, I'm afraid that two jars are not enough to drink."

"You're a girl, and it's fine to drink a few glasses. I can't explain to Uncle Yang when I'm drunk." Xie Xiao stopped her bowl and changed her a small wine cup.

This summer, he turned his head and exchanged the small wine cup for Yang Yue, and instructed him like a gourd: "You can drink a few glasses to meet the scene. I can't explain it to the boss when I'm drunk."

Yang Yue sighed, and as expected, he took the wine cup obediently and prepared to pour the wine.

She turned her head and explained to Xie Xiao: "Dayang is famous for his three bowls, but he can drink more for a while if he changes the wine cup."

"What's beyond the threshold?"

"The threshold."

Xie Xiao looked at Yang Yue with emotion: "It's okay, the amount of alcohol is learned. If you can stay in Yangzhou for three months, I guarantee that you will be fine if you drink three jars."

Just as he was talking, the second shop assistant on the stairs led people up again. He just saw the person through the curtain, and this summer he slowly put down the bowl and gave Yang Yue a wink. Five or six guards in brocade came upstairs, and one of them was Gao Qing, who was wearing a splendid green uniform.
