Chapter 305 The Seed of Ignorance

Fang Muyang would not mistake Xixi's handwriting.

Touching the pebbles in his palm, he could even vaguely feel Xixi's warmth.

Aimu, lying on the bed, turned his back and could not help but sigh.

"It's only been more than two months since I came to Hu Yulou."

"When I first came, Xixi treated me very well."

"I have never seen such a happy girl in a brothel."

"Later I heard that she was going to be redeemed, and I was worried that she was cheated."

"On the day she got into trouble, I just finished dancing and passed by her room, and I happened to see Zhao Si and Hou San running out covered in blood."

"I was worried about Xixi, so I went in to check, and I saw that she had cut her throat with scissors, and blood was flowing down her neck."

"She was holding the scissors in one hand and the other hand was originally holding the collar. After seeing me, she began to reach into her arms."

"I quickly covered the wound on her neck, but the blood couldn't be stopped. I don't understand the magical hemostasis method of you Daxing people. Maybe if I knew..."

Fang Muyang only realized at this moment that Ayimu had also witnessed the tragedy that happened that night.

Hearing Ayimu say this, Fang Muyang said with difficulty:

"I can't do it either. Maybe Master's silver needle can save Xixi."

Fang Muyang can slow down the blood loss by acupuncture, but it is still powerless.

After hearing Fang Muyang's answer, Ayimu continued:

"Xixi handed me the pebble in her arms, and then looked at me with a pleading look, until her eyes lost all their brilliance."

"It took less than ten breaths. I heard the sound of Mother Zhou bringing people outside the door, so I left quietly."

"I didn't know who the 'Muyang' on the pebble was until you kidnapped me on the night of the Oiran parade."

"Originally, I didn't want to give you this stone. I felt that you didn't deserve it."

"Now, it's okay to give it back to you."

After saying this, Ayimu stopped talking, tucked in the quilt, and pretended to sleep there again.

Fang Muyang silently put the pebble on his chest and gently said to Aimu:

"Thank you."

Aimu, who had her back to them, had closed her eyes long ago, but a small piece of her pillow was wet.

"Xixi, I've delivered your things."

"You have a pretty good eye for men."

Aimu smiled slightly and fell asleep.

Li Xuan looked at Aimu who fell asleep again on the bed and couldn't help but think that this guy was also an interesting person.

After Fang Muyang put away the pebble that Xixi left for him, he sat back at the table.

He then slowly took off the "Thousand Faces" on his face, and then took out another human skin mask from his arms.

"I'll give you these two human skin masks."

Li Xuan first put away a human skin mask, and when it was the turn of the "Thousand Faces", he looked up at Fang Muyang.

As a result, Fang Muyang shook his head and said:

"Xixi's appearance is imprinted in my heart. I remember it, and I remember it very clearly, so I don't need this thing."

Li Xuan nodded and put away the "Thousand Faces".

He originally wanted to stay with Fang Muyang for two more days, but it seems that he thought too much.

Fang Muyang doesn't need "Thousand Faces".

After confirming that Fang Muyang didn't need his help, Li Xuan said goodbye and left.

It was almost noon now, and if he didn't go back, Princess Ankang would probably be anxious.

On the way back, Li Xuan was also thinking about Fang Muyang.

Although the great revenge was avenged, Li Xuan could feel that Fang Muyang didn't feel very happy, but even more empty.

In the past, there was still the idea of ​​revenge that supported him.

But now, Fang Muyang can only continue to experience the pain after losing Xixi.

"I hope he can adapt to it sooner."

Li Xuan believes that this kind of thing can't be walked out, and people will only slowly adapt to the pain of loss.

Occasionally, she would suddenly miss someone when she saw something, and then she would open the wound and scab over again.

This cycle repeats until she becomes numb.

After Li Xuan returned to Xingqing Palace, he soon found Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang did not leave here today, but just wandered around Xingqing Palace.

Since she left the palace, she has not had time to take a good look at this place.

Originally, many princes and princesses who came to Wannian County to investigate cases lived here, but now they are nowhere to be seen all day long.

Princess Yuan'an originally came to play with Princess Ankang this morning, but Princess Ankang was not interested, so Princess Yuan'an had to go out alone.

It was rare for her to be out of her mother's sight, and she would not miss the opportunity to play freely outside the palace.

Princess Yuan'an thought that Princess Ankang was tired after playing for a few days, and did not take it too seriously.

Princess Ankang smiled when she saw Li Xuan running towards her from a distance.

"Ah Xuan, why did you come back just now? Where did you go to play?"

Princess Ankang teased Li Xuan in her arms and asked lovingly.

She knew that Li Xuan had gone to help Fang Muyang.

But these words could not be said in front of outsiders.

The eunuch who was responsible for recording Princess Ankang's words and deeds was still beside him.

Since they were ready to help Fang Muyang, the three little ones kept this matter to themselves.

Even if they wanted to talk to each other, they communicated by writing on each other's bodies.

In this way, the eunuch who recorded the words and deeds could not know the content of the communication between the three little ones.

Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang and Li Xuan around Xingqing Palace. Li Xuan took this opportunity to tell Princess Ankang what happened last night.

Yu'er was also watching carefully from behind, and she almost pushed Princess Ankang and Li Xuan into the pond several times. Fortunately, Princess Ankang coughed in time to remind Yu'er, so that she didn't make a big mistake, which frightened the eunuchs guarding on the side.

They thought that Princess Ankang's personal maid was so unreliable.

Princess Ankang was able to live safely until now, which was really a blessing.

After hearing about the process, Princess Ankang and Yu'er were also sighing, and at the same time they were curious about Hu Yulou's courtesan Ayimu.

"Ah Xuan, I always feel that this courtesan lady is also unusual."

Princess Ankang secretly wrote on Li Xuan's buttocks.

Li Xuan nodded silently.

Moreover, when Ayimu was alone with him, Li Xuan saw her looking at him with a particularly strange look.

There was eagerness, expectation, and many complex emotions in that look, but Li Xuan did not feel any malice from it.

This made Li Xuan even more confused about Ayimu.

"Is she also a nymphomaniac who was captured by my beauty?"

Li Xuan held his little face with his front paws, looking very troubled.

At this time, he didn't care about feeling sorry for himself, and mentioned the serial theft case in Princess Ankang's hands.

In the morning, Li Xuan had returned the lost items to the owners, and Fang Muyang compensated the silver for those who didn't return them, leaving a note written by Ayimu.

If they visit again, they should be able to close the case smoothly.

After having lunch in Xingqing Palace, the three little ones once again brought people to Wannian County Government.

After explaining the purpose of their visit, the two officials from last time took them to visit again.

Because Princess Ankang treated the two officials well last time and gave them generous rewards, the two officials were very enthusiastic about Princess Ankang's arrival.

Even if they had to go the same way again, the two officials had no complaints.

Everyone else thought it was another fruitless visit, but they got something from the first one.

The lost things were found again.

The owner said a little embarrassedly that he might have forgotten where he put it, which made him apologize again and again.

Although the two officers felt strange, they recorded it first.

Because in Daxing, there is also a punishment for reporting a false case.

Depending on the severity of the impact, it can range from the lightest verbal warning to the most serious imprisonment and beheading.

Li Xuan didn't expect that the first owner would be so careless.

He had clearly put the things back to their original place according to Fang Muyang's instructions, but the owner actually said that he forgot where he put them.

Even if he really forgot, how could he admit it at this time.

This case has been identified as a serial theft case. If it is determined to be a false report, the punishment will definitely not be light.

Fortunately, the two officials were more responsible and did not just listen to his words. Although they felt strange, they just recorded it first and planned to finish the search today.

They continued to visit the remaining owners, and they were much smarter.

Some said they didn't know how the things appeared again, and some said that the thieves returned the things, but no one said that they were careless.

Li Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not until they found the pharmacy and blacksmith shop where the silver and the note were left that the two officials knew that the case had taken a turn for the better.

The two officials also couldn't understand the Western language written by Ayimu on the note, so they immediately took the note back to the government office with Princess Ankang and her group to find someone to translate it.

There were talents in the Wannian County Government Office, and they immediately found someone who was proficient in the common language of the Western Regions and quickly translated the content of the note.

Facts have proved that Ayimu did not play tricks, and the content on it was what Fang Muyang asked her to write.

In this way, the matter has a conclusion.

Now, the owners have either returned the items to their original owners or received compensation.

Especially those who received silver compensation, they did not complain at all.

Because they made some money.

The county government thought that another case would be piled up, and now it can get such a solution, which is naturally what they want.

They immediately identified the criminal as a naughty thief from the Western Regions. Now that they succumbed to the power of the Daxing government, they took the initiative to return the stolen goods and compensated, which was considered to be a way to make up for the loss.

The Wannian County Court issued a stern warning, reminding the naughty thief from the Western Regions not to commit crimes again, and also declared the majesty of the government.

In this way, Princess Ankang's case was successfully closed.

Even Wannian County Magistrate Tang Zhi personally came forward and praised Princess Ankang for her good investigation of the case. As soon as he came, he put pressure on the thief and forced him to return the lost property.

Then there was a round of flattery like a spring breeze, praising Princess Ankang lightly.

Tang Zhi also knew that Princess Ankang had no power, but she solved a problem for him, so it was not too much to say a few auspicious words.

Li Xuan listened to Tang Zhi's flattery, nodded repeatedly, and took notes secretly.

These officials know how to behave, and they are so skilled at flattering.

Li Xuan used to sneer at these things, but now he analyzes them word by word.

Tang Zhi personally issued the case-closing document, stamped it with his official seal, and gave a copy to Princess Ankang.

This copy was to be reported to Emperor Yongyuan.

Princess Ankang directly handed the case-closing document to the eunuch who was responsible for recording their words and deeds.

The eunuch had not put away the paper and pen for so many days until he got the document and said his first sentence.

"Your Highness Princess Ankang, your case is over. Do you need me to return to the palace immediately to hand over the investigation record?"

The three children were stunned. They didn't expect such a good thing.

They thought that the eunuch who was responsible for recording their words and deeds would follow them when they left the palace.

But now it seems that after the case is investigated, it seems that this eunuch can be asked to return to the palace in advance to report the news.

The three children have been almost crazy these days, and naturally they are eager for the eunuch to go back quickly.

Princess Ankang nodded quickly and said:

"Thank you for your hard work these days, please go back and report immediately."

After receiving Princess Ankang's order, the eunuch who was responsible for recording words and deeds finally added a few notes to the record book before respectfully leaving.

Without someone watching their every move, the three children felt a lot more relaxed.

The three children looked at each other and could see each other's happiness.

"In this case, your Highness's trial out of the palace this time can be considered a successful completion, right?"

Yu'er rarely took the initiative to speak.

Princess Ankang nodded happily:

"Finally, there is an explanation. You can have fun in the next few days."

Although the flower-clothed eunuchs responsible for protecting their safety are still there, these flower-clothed eunuchs will not pay too much attention to their every move, let alone record it.

Moreover, they are all Zhao Feng's people, and Li Xuan can still trust them.

"Huh——"

"Finally, no one is watching us all the time."

Speaking of which, the eunuchs who were responsible for recording their words and deeds still put a lot of pressure on them.

They were afraid that any mistakes would be recorded and passed on to Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan made such an arrangement, probably deliberately putting pressure on the princes and princesses.

It would be fine for people like the three little ones who had successfully solved the case. If they had not solved the case, and there was such a pressure next to them, they would probably become more and more anxious later.

After sending away the eunuchs who were responsible for recording their words and deeds, the three little ones were relaxed and prepared to leave Wannian County Court with the eunuchs in flowery clothes.

Calculating the time, it was already the fourth day since they left the palace.

After they had lunch at Xingqing Palace at noon, they went out to investigate the case and visited, which took another afternoon. Now it was almost time for dinner.

Princess Ankang counted on her fingers and found that she had three full days to play outside the palace without worries, which made her even more excited.

But just as they were leaving the gate of the county government, they found that a group of officials were escorting a prisoner back.

The prisoner was disheveled and looked unhygienic. He was vulgar and was shouting that he was wronged.

Behind the prisoner, there was an official with a delicate woman, crying non-stop.

The woman had a charming appearance and thin clothes, and looked a little embarrassed at this time.

Coupled with the other party's unique wheat-colored skin, Li Xuan recognized the other party at a glance.

"This guy is too active, isn't he?"

Li Xuan was sweating.

In the morning, Ayimu was still discussing with Fang Muyang how to frame Xixi's uncle, but he didn't expect that he had been brought to justice in the afternoon.

Ayimu, who came back with the officials, also saw Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms.

Li Xuan saw clearly that Ayimu was secretly winking at him in the crowd, and then naturally continued her tearful offensive, telling the officials how Xixi's uncle was a bad person.

Such a delicate beauty was bullied like this, and the angry young officials kicked Xixi's uncle a few times to vent their anger on Ayimu.

"As expected of an oiran, she is so skilled in controlling men."

Li Xuan was sweating profusely. With Ayimu as a witness, Xixi's uncle was now convicted.

As soon as Ayimu followed the official into the palace, another group of people came.

Li Xuan knew them all. One group was from the Hou family led by Butler Fan, and the other group seemed to be from Hu Yulou.

But he didn't know what was going on with Hu Yulou now, and whether there was someone in charge after Mother Zhou's death.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan couldn't wait to open Mother Zhou's small wooden box to see if there were any land deeds or house deeds inside.

Who knows, taking this opportunity, he could also buy some property for Princess Ankang outside the palace.

At this time, Princess Ankang quietly wrote on Li Xuan's butt:

"Is that Xixi's uncle?"

"You deserve it!"

"Miss Ayimu is really interesting."

Princess Ankang had also seen Ayimu winking at Li Xuan before, and couldn't help but smile.

Li Xuan wagged his tail and said nothing.

He still didn't know Aimu's identity and purpose, so it was too early to say anything.

Princess Ankang felt a little hungry, so she took people to Cuihua Tower.

After having a meal here last time, Princess Ankang felt that the cooking skills of this restaurant were quite good.

Although it couldn't be compared with the imperial cuisine in the palace, it also had its own characteristics.

Princess Ankang didn't forget to send someone to send a message to Princess Yuan'an, asking her to come to Cuihua Tower to find her if she hadn't eaten yet.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Tower smiled even more when he saw Princess Ankang coming to take care of his business again.

He was about to arrange Princess Ankang to the third floor again, but Princess Ankang refused and chose to eat in the most lively lobby on the first floor.

The shopkeeper of Cuihua Tower naturally would not disobey the guests' request. He immediately found a large table in the lobby and arranged a table next to it for the eunuch in flowery clothes and others.

There were also many people sitting in Cuihua Tower today, and the business was even better than the last time they came.

According to the old rules, Princess Ankang asked the shopkeeper of Cuihualou to arrange some dishes.

Princess Ankang was quite satisfied with the dishes recommended by the shopkeeper last time.

The shopkeeper immediately took the order and quickly served the dishes to Princess Ankang and her friends.

When all the dishes were served, the shopkeeper personally served a large pot of rock sugar honey dew.

He saw that Princess Ankang liked to drink this last time, so this time he directly served a large pot, until she was full.

Princess Ankang noticed that the shopkeeper was in a good mood, and couldn't help asking curiously:

"Does the shopkeeper have any happy events recently?"

"I see that some of you are in high spirits when you have happy events."

The shopkeeper of Cuihualou laughed and said casually:

"Isn't the biggest happy event that you are here again, young lady?"

"As long as you come often, I will be so happy every day."

The shopkeeper of Cuihualou said a few more nice words, then apologized repeatedly and went to do his own business.

It's true that Cuihualou's business is really good tonight.

The huge lobby on the first floor was soon filled with people and was very lively after Princess Ankang and her friends arrived.

It seems that the people in the East Market are not all dissolute people who drink wine every day.

Princess Ankang looked at the prosperous business of Cuihualou and was also happy for the shopkeeper.

The three children looked at each other and understood each other.

The shopkeeper of Cuihualou was happy, probably because of the two old friends.

But the shopkeeper must not say such words, just be happy in his heart.

Zhao Si and Hou San, the two troubles, are gone. I hope Cuihualou can avoid the "business" that smashes the store in the future.

The three children still remember clearly that when they first met Zhao Si, he was riding a horse in the East Market, and the eunuch in flowery clothes blocked his way and whipped him with a horsewhip.

If the eunuch in flowery clothes had not been so powerful, what would have happened if he had been replaced by an ordinary person, or even a little girl like Princess Ankang?

When Zhao Si rode his horse, why did everyone avoid him and fear him like snakes and scorpions?

People's fear of snakes and scorpions is an instinct engraved in their genes after generations of evolution. This process has cost many people their lives, and people remember this fear.

And how much did they pay for their fear of Zhao Si?

Is Cuihualou the first restaurant to be smashed by the dandy young masters?

How coincidentally did they meet the owner of Cuihualou who has such a "business mind"?

The dandy young masters paid the money just to avoid lawsuits and get into trouble.

As for how much to pay, it was not their will.

How many of them did not resist and lost their industries, and lost the efforts of several generations in one day.

In the face of such things, what else can we do except admit that we are unlucky?

Zhao Si and Hou San have demonstrated vividly the destructive power of privilege and indulgence of desire.

Princess Ankang is sure that she hates people like Zhao Si and Hou San.

She can't help but start thinking about how to make there be fewer people like them in the world.

In Princess Ankang's heart, a vague seed began to take root slowly. I wonder if it will take root and sprout smoothly in the future and bear satisfactory fruits.

Li Xuan silently looked up at Princess Ankang while eating and observing the people in the hall. I don't know what she was thinking.

Li Xuan shrank in Princess Ankang's arms, touched Princess Ankang's hand holding chopsticks with his claws, and then pointed at the sweet and sour carp on the table.

Princess Ankang woke up from her daze and smiled unusually brightly when she saw Li Xuan in her arms asking her to help pick up the dishes.

"Ah Xuan, I'll pick out all the thorns for you, don't worry."

Thank you for the reward support from "Go to the Moon z".

Thank you for the monthly ticket support from all book friends.

Tomorrow, ten thousand, liars are kittens!
