Back Off, Let Me Come

I heard that my daughter ran away from home and went to Heyin.

Zhao Feng looked at Xu Jie expectantly.

He rubbed his hands unnaturally, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "This matter is a family matter after all. Logically speaking, we shouldn't bother Wen Zhu to take action, but - it's not convenient for me to lead the general Bu Qu to your river. Yin arrests people, look..."

Qin Li's brows on one side jumped sharply.

Zhao Feng's words may seem like an understatement, but in fact they contain a huge amount of information - this is a serious view of Xu Jie as a county guard, respecting the other party's territorial power, and not leading troops into the country without permission, rather than treating Xu Jie as the same person. Colleagues under the lord's account.

He knew that Zhao Feng was a rough person on the outside but delicate on the inside, but - Da Yi really didn't know part of the reason why his lord wanted Ha Yin?

Xu Jie turned his back to Qin Li and naturally did not notice the subtle changes in his expression. His attention was all on Zhao Feng.

Not long ago, the two of them drank and talked freely, and they were honest with each other. Their relationship quickly became closer, and they didn't pay much attention to the position behind Zhao Feng's words. He said very cheerfully: "It doesn't matter. I will send you a message as soon as I have any news about my daughter-in-law."

Zhao Feng's heart dropped halfway.

Just as he was about to say that Qin Li and Xu Jie had worked hard to find his daughter, he would be the host today and treat them both to a meal. Unexpectedly, Qin Li added abruptly: "If you say it's He Yin, then it's He Yin? My niece's shrewd character is so arrogant. Didn’t you suffer a loss on the first day?”

Zhao Feng heard this and said with a grimace: "...No, no, can she still play tricks with her father?"

Qin Li's eyes clearly said -

【What do you think? 】

Although not every girl born in a general family has a sassy character, Zhao Feng, his daughter, was doted on to no end and she only got him during the years when life was difficult. For Zhao Feng, who was a first-time father, it meant a lot. Ordinary.

Even if Zhao Feng later had other children, some were well-behaved and sensible, some were smart, and some inherited his martial arts talent, this daughter's family status would not be shaken at all. Naturally, it would be strange for a daughter to have a painting style.

Zhao Feng was teased not once or twice.

"Then, what should we do?" His heart was half-hearted, and it hit his throat. Old Zhao looked confused and at a loss.

"The only way to send people to Yiru and Shangnan is blocked, just in case." Qin Li was also worried about his niece, frowning, hesitated for a while, and then sighed, "If you don't have enough manpower, It’s better to borrow some from the lord..."

"But this..."

Zhao Feng was not very willing.

Asking himself, he has no problem with Wu Xian personally. But after he returned two years ago, his lord allowed him to be squeezed out by the generals of the Tianhai line, which made him somewhat uncomfortable. I don’t want to bow to Wu Xian right now. If I don’t bow my head, I will miss my daughter...

Qin Li lowered his voice and reminded him.

"My niece's safety is the most important thing."

Zhao Feng helplessly let out a breath.

He whispered: "That's true..."

There is just a thorn in my heart.

Xu Jie stayed at the Tianhai Administrative Office for two or three days, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and went through many channels, using both soft and hard threats and inducements, and spent a lot of money. Finally, amidst the scoldings of several aristocratic families in Tianhai, he abducted them carefully. female teacher.

Packing people up and running away overnight.

Wu Xian: "???"

Facing the crying staff, Wu Xian smiled awkwardly and assumed with a slight lack of confidence: "Maybe there is a misunderstanding?"

Regarding this matter, he could not say it out of conscience even if the annotation was not intentional. Xu Wenzhu made it clear that he was deliberately looking for trouble!

Because these families put pressure on Xu Jie behind the scenes and secretly instigated discord between the couple, Xu Jie could not openly show off his face, but it did not prevent him from finding opportunities to regain his position. He actually spent money to poach away the female teacher he hired with a high salary.

Don’t poach other people’s homes…

Keep an eye on these households.

The livid faces of those who were poached could hear the grinding of their back molars: "...How can there be any misunderstanding?"

Wu Xian smiled and said: "Wen Zhu came here earlier and said that he was looking for some female teachers. The best ones in Tianhai are all in your house..."

You can't blame Xu Jie for staring at their corners.

I can only blame them for being too discerning.

Several people: "..."

Or do they deserve this?

Xu Jie consciously completed the task successfully and returned to Heyin's office relaxed and happy. He treated the invited female teachers with the etiquette of a good teacher and scribe. Most of them are between thirty and fifty years old, and almost all of them have no family ties. Their current goal is to save enough money for their own retirement, adopt an orphan from the clan in the future, and wait until a hundred years later to have a child who can throw pots and throw flags.

But Xu Jie did not have enough money to manage. He sent people back to Heyin in advance to intercept Zhao Feng's daughter. Unexpectedly, when he returned to the prison, his subordinates said that no girl matching his identity appeared in the territory.

Xu Jie confirmed again and again: "Have you checked them carefully?"

"Checked it carefully."

Thanks to the predecessors who planted trees, made the huge and complicated household registration work detailed, and established a solid institutional framework. Any stranger entering the country needs a road certificate. If you enter the country illegally, you will be found out unless you stay deep in the mountains and forests.

Finding a foreign girl is not difficult.

did not find--

Either Mrs. Zhao didn't come to Heyin, and her chat with the carriage dealer was a deliberate attempt to confuse the investigators, or Mrs. Zhao was hiding in the mountains and forests. The latter is very unlikely.

Just as he was about to take a sip of water, he heard that he had been on a business trip to Tianhai for the past few days. A friend came to his door and left after waiting for two days.

Xu Jie: "Which friend? Why don't you treat me well?"

The steward replied: "The gentleman introduced himself and claimed to be from Fengxi County. He had some friendship with his parents in the early years. After traveling here, he stopped by to see his friends. It just happened that his parents were not here these days. He had some business and left. ”

Xu Jie murmured: "Fengxi County?"

Memories come back with this word.

A red shadow appeared in my mind.

He exclaimed, "It's him."

Fengxi County is neither within the territory of the former Xin Kingdom nor the Geng Kingdom. It belongs to a small country at the junction of the northwest and southwest of the mainland. It is rich in flowers, and everyone in this small country loves flowers. Xu Jie visited it once that year. but--

That country seems to have been destroyed.

The reason for destroying the country is quite ridiculous.

This country is located in the middle and lower reaches, and the upstream forces, at the suggestion of a certain bad scholar, cut off the river before the rainy season - this river is the lifeblood of this small country. When the rainy season comes, water will be released upstream to release floods...

Then the country was destroyed.

It's a pity for Xu Jie.

This country's domestic flowers make excellent rouge.

And by buying and selling and spreading information, he scraped a lot of money from the nobles and noble ladies of various countries.

Those who can be called friends...

I guess it's just that one person.

First, he regretted missing his friend, and then he suddenly thought of something. He clapped his legs in shock and said, "Quickly, look for something missing in the house. Especially what I like..."

The butler had a question mark on his face.

Combined with context——

Do parents suspect a friend of breaking into the house and stealing something?

After some rummaging, there were quite a few things, but the box where Xu Jie, the brother-in-law, kept his family letters had been tampered with, and there was a flower next to it. The study was Xu Jie's private property. Even the servants could not easily come in and clean it without his permission.

The book box at home has been moved?

The housekeeper was trembling, fearing that Xu Jie would be blamed for poor supervision, but Xu Jie waved his hand.

"Go down, it's none of your business."

"only."

\\(￣︶￣*\\))

Good guy, I almost got locked out and slept on the street today.

A teammate charged the fingerprint lock and took out the battery. When he went out to throw cat poop, he closed the door and was locked out... Fortunately, I borrowed a power bank from my brother as a backup power source and unlocked the fingerprint lock...
