The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 39

[Chapter 39 A bold idea]

Zhao Yan stopped in front of Fang Xiu, held her head high, and said, “Even if you are a head catcher, you still need a reason to arrest people…

You take people away by force indiscriminately, and you are with the robbers.” What’s the difference?”

Xia Yixue looked at her and said calmly: “Is this a sufficient reason for pretending to be a ghost and seeking personal gain?”

Zhao Yan thought for a moment and said, “Where is the evidence?”

Xia Yixue said, “When we get to the Kyoto Yamen, there will be evidence. “

Zhao Yan looked at Xia Yixue and asked, “Since there is no evidence, let me ask you, what is the benefit of you saying that he is pretending to be a ghost and seeking personal gain?”

Xia Yixue was slightly startled.

This is also her biggest doubt since investigating the case.

The incident of the female ghost in white caused an uproar in the south of the city, and everyone in the city knew about it.

As a result, all the shops in the south of the city have devalued, and the street where the ancient well is located has almost become a deserted street.

At this time, as long as someone takes action, they will definitely be able to purchase various shops that were originally of high value at low prices.

But during this period, no businessman was willing to buy the shops in the south of the city.

The only person who bought the shop was the initiator of all this – Fang Xiu.

In this way, the motivation behind this matter can be explained.

But unfortunately, he did not buy the shop at a low price, but at a high price.

This Chunfeng Building alone cost ten times the price offered by the original owner.

It’s really unreasonable.

Xia Yixue thought for a while and said calmly: “You will know where the benefits lie after the trial.”

“You”

Zhao Yan had anger on her face and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder, smiled, and whispered: “Don’t worry, it’s okay.”

Zhao Yan looked at him with a worried look on her face.

Fang Xiu smiled slightly, looked at Xia Yixue, and said, “I believe that the Governor of Kyoto will restore my innocence.”

When he originally planned this matter, he had thought about being discovered and had already thought of countermeasures in advance.

Even if it doesn’t come in handy in the end, it’s just a loss of some money and it won’t be a big deal.

Now I have a workshop, a shop, and a restaurant.

Wait until the slogan “Get drunk and you’ll rest” spreads throughout the capital, and you will make a lot of money. The only difference is time.

After Fang Xiu said this, he took the initiative to walk towards the door.

Bai Xiaochun wanted to follow, but was stopped by a group of policemen.

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu’s back, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

After a moment, she followed him with a determined look on her face.

A police officer stopped her and asked, “What else do you want?”

Zhao Yan said loudly, “I was also involved in the matter of the female ghost in white. If you want to arrest her, just arrest me too!”

Chunfeng Tower Outside, the lantern riddle festival was in full swing, and the whole street was bustling with activity.

When everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to her, with shocked expressions on their faces.

“Isn’t this the girl who guessed the lantern riddle just now?”

“Is she the female ghost in white?”

“

What

‘s going on?”

on the way.

Zhao Yan had just been scolded by Fang Xiu and was following him dejectedly.

Fang Xiu looked back at her and asked, “Do you know you were wrong?”

Zhao Yan turned her face away unconvinced and ignored him.

Fang Xiu was a little angry, but more helpless.

In any case, she was involved because of herself.

Seeing her pitiful look, Fang Xiu couldn’t bear to blame her anymore.

He looked up at the red lanterns hanging on the roadside and sighed.

Kyoto Yamen is not a good place, especially for a girl.

Fortunately, this girl is also a young lady from an aristocratic family, so the governor of Kyoto should not embarrass her because of this matter.

However, Miss Zhao’s journey of escaping from marriage may come to an end at the Kyoto Yamen.

Xia Yixue followed a few people. When her beautiful eyes swept over Fang Xiu’s body, she occasionally showed a trace of doubt.

She was also present when the old Taoist priest was pretending to be a ghost and cheating.

To be fair, although she would not be intimidated by the old Taoist priest, she could not put the porcelain bowl into her mouth so decisively.

Fang Xiu was mentioned by her elders in her family before she became the head catcher in Kyoto Prefecture.

Although he is uneducated and has no skills, he is loyal and honest, and he is considered a clean figure among the dandy boys.

Later, I heard that I had a serious illness, and when I woke up, I suffered from brain disease.

Acting irrationally.

She had a deep understanding of this on that day at Zuihua Pavilion.

A normal person would never be able to do such a ridiculous thing as ordering two portions of food and throwing away one.

But later, he showed extraordinary quickness, and it didn’t seem like he was suffering from a brain disease.

It’s really puzzling.

“Captain Xia”

Xia Yixue was thinking about Fang Xue’s motive of pretending to be a female ghost in white. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind her.

A man in civilian clothes stood in front of her. There was a long scar on his weathered face, as if he had been injured by a sword.

Feeling the evil spirit of the common man, Xia Yixue frowned and asked, “Who are you and what’s the matter with you?”

The common man looked at her and said, “Please also ask Xia to arrest the head and arrest these two people.” Let it go.”

Xia Yixue’s face turned even colder when she heard this.

However, the man in civilian clothes took out a sign from his sleeve, waved it in front of Xia Yixue’s eyes, and said, “I’m sorry for disturbing Xia’s arrest.”

Seeing the sign, Xia Yixue was startled, and the expression on her face immediately became solemn.

After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: “I obey!”

“Don’t do this again in the future, you know?”

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and said.

Zhao Yan nodded, with a somewhat unconvinced expression on her face.

“You can go.”

Xia Yixue came from behind and looked at the two of them. When her beautiful eyes swept over Zhao Yan, she showed a strange look.

When Zhao Yan heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face and she asked, “Don’t you have to go to the Yamen in Kyoto?”

Xia Yixue nodded and said, “The matter of the female ghost in white has been investigated clearly, and it has nothing to do with you two. The connection is just that some ordinary people spread rumors.”

She paused and continued: “This matter ends here.”

Zhao Yan looked confused and said, “Yes”

“If you still have doubts, you can go to the Kyoto Yamen. Ask Mr. Fu Yin,”

Xia Yixue said calmly.

Zhao Yan shook her head and said, “Forget it then.”

“I still have official duties, so I won’t see you off. I’ll say goodbye.”

Xia Yixue’s eyes were on Zhao Yan from beginning to end, only when she turned to leave. , glanced at Fang Xiu.

After she left, Fang Xiu stood there with a thoughtful look on his face.

‘Xia Motou’ is selfless and impartial in enforcing the law to everyone.

This matter has been circulating among the dandy circles of the capital for a long time, and it cannot be groundless.

There is only one possibility that can make her attitude change so much.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan.

I have a bold idea in my mind
