Chapter 38 - The Waterfall

The scene was slightly awkward.

Fu Ning didn't really want to know what he wanted to follow after the word "husband", so he just pretended not to notice, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you have anything to argue with?"

The cloth strips stained with saliva fell to the ground, but the kneeling man did not speak immediately, gasped for a few short breaths, and then struggled to escape from the restraints of the guards again.

Fu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Let him go."

The guards let go of their hands according to the words. The man's momentum was so strong that he knocked his head and face heavily on the ground, leaving another dark red mark, but he didn't seem to know the pain, and knocked his head against the ground a few more times. : "Please, let my daughter go."

His voice was rough and his words were dry. He seemed not very used to speaking Chinese in the Central Plains, but he still insisted on repeating: "Please, let my daughter go, please..."

But Fu Ning was unmoved: "Whether you can let your daughter go depends on whether what you say satisfies me."

"I... I said, what do you want to hear, I said, let her go..." The voice of the person kneeling on the ground was earnest, but his tone became weaker and weaker, saying In the end, he was so angry that he looked like he was about to pass out immediately.

Fu Ning looked at him indifferently: "If you faint, I will immediately ask someone to kill your daughter."

The person kneeling on the ground trembled, raised his head with force, and stared at him fiercely: "You, dare!"

"Why don't I dare?" Funing said in a gentle voice, "You have the time to tell me so much, why don't you think about what you have missed? If you don't remember anything, if what you said is not complete or true, I will still Send her to the border."

Facing the man's gaze as if he was going to kill someone, Fu Ning added in a calm manner: "Whether she can live in the future, and how she will live, all depends on your performance."

Seeing him give him a look, Xun Yi immediately understood: "Take him down for a closer interrogation."

The guards led away, and Xun Yi looked at Fu Ning, who was still calm and gentle, and suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

It turned out that the lively and cute little Tuanzi in his memory who always chased after him had grown up with time, and turned into the thoughtful and wise Fu Ning in front of him.But even so, he still—

"Brother of the province?"

Xun Yi came back to his senses, only to find that Funing was standing in front of him, looking at him worriedly.

"Well, what's wrong?" Xun Yi shook off the emotion in his mind, and looked at the person in front of him.

Fu Ning smiled: "Brother Sheng Zhi thinks I'm too cruel?"

"No." Xun Yi replied without hesitation, "Whether it's you when you were a child, or you now, I-" I like it very much.

When Ziyu was a child, people wanted to be coaxed and petted to play together, but when he grew up, Ziyu made him linger in his dreams, and his every frown and smile would affect his heart.

"What are you talking about?" Seeing that he stopped halfway through his speech, Funing was a little curious and couldn't help asking.

Xun Yi looked at his jade-like side face, and suddenly smiled softly: "I feel very good."

His tone was not as indifferent as when he was facing the guards just now, but a little more tender, with a smile on his face, he was gentle.

Fu Ning looked at his smile, but suddenly felt something was different.

Even though the weather is not hot and the sun is not shining, why is his face a little hot?

The sun is fine.

Xun Yi ordered people to look for the "mother-in-law"'s daughter who didn't know where to hide, and he went to the library with Funing, and accompanied him to pick out some interesting books.

The space in the library is spacious, and in order to see clearly, it is also lit during the day, covered with various colored glass lampshades, elegant and bright.

The two walked one after the other without speaking, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Xun Yi coughed lightly, and asked, "By the way, you just said that he has a daughter, how did you know that?"

The abilities of the guards in his house are almost top-notch in the entire capital, but even the details that they haven't discovered, Funing can see that they are indeed very powerful.

Fu Ning smiled: "Actually, I'm not sure, maybe it's a mistake."

"I read a book before. It is recorded in the book that there is a small country from the southwestern border to the west. One ear pierced, wearing silver ornaments, so that my daughter can join the prince's family, wearing gold and silver."

"So that's how it is." Xun Yi was stunned.

His bodyguards have followed him in the capital since he was a child, and have never traveled too far. Naturally, they don't know that there is such an unusual custom.

Most of Fu Ning's attention was on Xun Yi's bookshelf, and he said casually, "I like to read some casual books on weekdays, and today it happened to be useful."

Xun Yi shook his head: "This is your strength, don't be humble."

Fu Ning likes to read, but he doesn't have a nerdy air. On the contrary, in his agile temperament, there is an elegance of poetry and books;

The two chatted for a while, picked up a few books, and the interrogating guard had already come to report: The man recruited everything he knew.

Fu Ning listened to the guard's report and chuckled, "It's really Li Er."

Xun Yi's expression turned cold: "He doesn't even have a long memory, and he's playing tricks on you again."

Although the Li family was involved in the Yanyin incident last time, Li Shangshu reacted too quickly and took the initiative to admit a small mistake, so the Holy One only punished him for the crime of dereliction of duty and deducted a few months of salary; If the child is not good at teaching, then someone will send the evidence of his direct participation in Yanyin to the Ministry of Officials, and just cut the weeds and root them out.

It's just that he thought about it in his heart, but he didn't say it to Funing.After all, Funing is still far away from the court, so there is no need to worry about these things.

Fu Ning was immersed in his thoughts, and didn't notice the change in Xun Yi's expression: "Although Li Er is extreme, he himself is not scheming, such a vicious and meticulous trick, he can't think of it alone. , someone must have given him this idea and instigated him to do it."

Xun Yi looked at him: "If you say that, do you already have a rough guess?"

Fu Ning smiled softly: "Yes. This person is very smart, and he didn't leave anything to his face, but...it's not difficult to catch him."

Xun Yi nodded: "If you need me to cooperate with you, just say so."

Fu Ning blinked: "I haven't seen Second Young Master Li for a long time, and I miss him very much; so I plan to ask Young Master Li to have a gathering at Fengbaolou tomorrow. I wonder if Brother Sheng Zhi would like to come?"

Xun Yi looked at his sly eyes, and smiled slightly: "I will take care of you."

After the two discussed what to do next, it was already dark.

When Fu Ning went out today, he made a promise with Mrs. Li that he would go home for dinner in the evening, and he couldn't stay longer, so he went back to the Minister's Mansion with the book.

Not long after getting out of the car, I saw Li Jingshu's personal servant girl running over in a panic: "Master, you are back! Hurry up and save Miss, Madam is going to punish her!"

Punish Jingshu?

Fu Ning frowned: "Let's go."

"Yes!" The servant girl hurriedly trotted to lead the way for Funing as if she had received an amnesty.
