Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 65 Clues emerge

The next day, Hong Fan arrived as promised. The two always stayed together. Although they were young and ignorant, they gradually fell in love with each other.

After about half a year of getting along, the enemy of Hong Fan's father came to the door. People of the underworld are nomadic, so they took him away from Jizhou.

Before leaving, Ran Qianxi received a farewell letter. When she was young, she didn't know the sadness of parting and only regarded him as a close playmate, but she was afraid that this separation would last a lifetime.

The mountains are high and the roads are long. Even though he missed her every year, he never went back to Jizhou to find her.

Villa Painting Boat -

"Your humble servant greets Master Liu."

"No need to be polite. Draw a portrait of Miss Zuoqiu quickly."

The painter bowed again.

"I understand."

The painter was very experienced and finished the portrait of Zuoqiu Ruan'er in just one stick of incense.

The two of them took the portrait and went straight to the second blind man's house. He was indeed packing his bags, and they were afraid that if they were late, the house would be empty.

"Second blind man."

The second blind man lifted his left eye patch and looked at Hong Fan. He was instantly shocked. He knew that Hong Fan was not blind at all. If he let him run away, looking for him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Young Village Master?"

Hong Fan drew his sword and frightened him so much that he quickly knelt on the ground. Being spineless was actually a way to save his life.

"Hey, Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Do you still remember the kidnapping business you introduced last time?"

The second blind man definitely cannot explain why he took Zuoqiu Ruan'er's money.

"Hey, Young Village Chief, aren't we going to stop doing this kind of business? How dare I, a little guy?"

Liu Xun directly unfolded the portrait, his face was solemn and sharp, completely different from usual.

"Do you know her?"

The second blind man was stunned, with fear showing on his face, which was clearly captured by Liu Xun.

"Come here, take him back to the Imperial Prison. We have plenty of ways to slowly interrogate him."

The second blind man fell to the ground instantly.

"I am innocent! Please spare my life!"

Liu Xun raised the corner of his mouth and squatted down, his sharpness seemed unfamiliar.

"Then you talk to the government office."

He took him up and left, glancing at Hong Fan.

"Thank you very much."

Hong Fan calmly put the sword back into the sheath.

"Your Excellency is too kind. Just give us the chance to live."

After Liu Xun left, Hong Fan also returned to the village. The next day, the brothers found the bodies of Ma Yi and four others.

"Young Village Master."

Hong Fan paced around the corpses for a while, and all of them were pierced in the throat by a sharp blade.

"It looks like the Nanyue Rapier...Please ask Master Liu to come."

The men saluted.

"Yes."

South Moon

Ran Qianxi was playing with a cat in the yard when Shi Huan came over with a gentle breeze on her face.

"Xi'er."

Needless to say, he must have gotten what he had been dreaming of again last night.

"Hey? Why did you come back early today?"

Shi Huan's eyes were full of smiles.

"You've been here for a few days and haven't been out yet. I'll take you for a walk. The snacks in the store are delicious."

Ran Qianxi stood up happily, and Shi Huan helped her considerately.

"Okay, let's go."

The streets were filled with new things, and she was so absorbed in shopping that she bought everything and treated money like dirt...

"I'm afraid I'm the most comfortable hostage in the world."

Shi Huan followed silently behind her, not daring to ask her if she was willing to stay.

"you…"

Ran Qianxi turned around and saw that he was speechless.

"what happened?"

Shi Huan smiled sadly. Perhaps if he didn't ask, it would be good for the two of them to drag on like this for the rest of their lives.

"Nothing, there's a delicious restaurant up ahead, I'll treat you."

Ran Qianxi's eyes lit up, he who knows the times is a hero.

"Let's go."

Shenhuzhai

Liu Xun rushed over, but the imperial prison had not yet started the torture. Looking at the four bodies, he was filled with suspicion.

"What clue are you talking about?"

Hong Fan pointed at Ma Yi's throat.

"Judging from the size and the moves, this sword mark must have been made by someone from Nanyue."

Liu Xun fell into deep thought and couldn't think of Nan Yue.

"South Moon..."

He pondered for a moment and thought, since the Ma Yisi brothers were killed by the people of Nanyue, there must be clues in Nanyue. He immediately decided to set off for Nanyue.

"I'm taking people to Nanyue."

Hong Fan glanced at him.

"I'll go with you so I can have some help."

People from the underworld are definitely better at handling underworld affairs than officials, so Liu Xun agreed immediately.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Tan Qianhuan was well aware of the matter and guessed that it was Shi Huan who took Ran Qianxi away. Since Liu Xun had already set off, he could be considered to have been entrusted with something, so he finally decided to return to Jizhou.

South Moon

Ran Qianxi was finally tired after a whole day of strolling around. She took the car back to the palace and after walking a few steps, she sat down in the pavilion to rest.

"Rest for a while. I'm weak."

Shi Huan smiled brightly, she was indeed good in bed.

"Okay, you take a rest first. I'll have someone move the things in the car back to you."

"Okay, okay... Thank you, Third Prince~"

After enduring all the way, they finally got home. Shi Huan gently embraced her and kissed her.

"Be good and wait for me. I will carry you back later."

"Ok."

Shi Huan left for a while and Shi Zhun happened to pass by. Ran Qianxi called him without thinking.

"That great king..."

Shi Zhun slowly turned around. He seemed to look better than yesterday.

"Where are you going? Do you want some snacks?"

Shi Zhun walked over.

"You want to feed me?"

Ran Qianxi smiled and handed him a piece.

"Well, it's your son who paid for it, so you can try it."

Shi Zhun reached out to take the pastry. His bare hands were long and bony. If a man's hands were beautiful, he could be sexy.

"Why are your hands so beautiful?"

After saying that, she directly pulled up his left hand and compared it with her own.

"Your hands are amazing. I always thought my godfather's hands were long enough to reach everywhere."

Shi Zhun looked at her playful appearance and was afraid that he would accept her if he had contact with her twice more.

"You... like my hands?"

Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows and gently let him go.

"It's really nice, it's hard not to like it."

Shi Zhun smiled. He had never seen such a woman who was so rude and aggressive.

“Thank you for the cake.”

Ran Qianxi waved her hand.

"It's just a snack, no need to thank me."

Shi Zhun looked at her hesitantly. She thought he was embarrassed to eat it, so she raised her hand, picked it up and fed it into his mouth.

"Here, let me feed you. I already told you your son bought it. Don't be embarrassed."

Shi Zhun's pupils dilated slightly, because the distance between them was so close that even if they moved an inch more, they would be tightly stuck together.

"Eat, I'm tired of sitting cross-legged."

Shi Zhun turned his head slightly to glance at her feet, and sure enough, they were raised very high. He smiled slightly, put the pastry in his mouth and took a bite.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

"good to eat."

Ran Qianxi smiled and fed him another bite.

"Then you eat it all."

Shi Zhun took another bite, and after doing this, he became even more moved by her.

After finishing the last bite, Ran Qianxi clapped her hands.

"There are other flavors, would you like to eat them?"

Shi Zhun took a look at the bag of pastries and was afraid that no matter how many more pieces he ate, they would not be as delicious as this one.

"That's enough for me, you eat more."

"Okay, then you go."

Hearing her commanding tone, Shi Zhun couldn't help but laugh.

"There will be a bonfire tonight. I'll let Huan'er take you there."
