Chapter 099 Hometown still has merit

The nightclubs in the city are more desolate than in the countryside. Looking around, you can’t see any vitality except the gray sky. Because Zhigezhai is located in a secluded place, you can’t hear any sound on all sides.

Yao Si suddenly missed Xiaotou Village. Whether it was summer or winter, the smoke from cooking was curling with chickens and dogs, and the family was traveling around the house, and the elder sister and aunt were shouting vigorously.

The playful children didn't return home, so the parents stood at the door and shouted "eat". Everyone scattered and laughed, and went home, not as deserted as they were.

Chu Meng didn't know what to do in the room, Yao Si knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother---"

After waiting for a while, Chu Meng pushed the door out, opened his mouth and said with concern: "Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to keep some food and have something to accompany you."

Yao Si shook his head, "I'll go out for a walk, brother, you're busy with yours."

Chu Meng hesitated for a moment, but it was nothing after all. He just advised: "What are you going to do if you're black? Either I'll go with you or wait for tomorrow."

Yao Si couldn't wait for tomorrow, but he didn't want Chu Meng to accompany him. He stammered for a while before he begged a little, "I'll go to Xin Mansion to see it. It's not far from here. There are no evil people on the official road. Brother, please relax and I'll be back soon."

Chu Meng wanted to say something else, but when he said something, he swallowed it again, but just smiled and reminded: "Come back early, don't delay it for too long."

Yao Si said aloud, and while there was still a little bright color, he went out directly without calling the lantern. There were two guards at the door, which were left by Xin Xiran for her to use, so she called someone to go with her.

Zhigezhai was not far from Xin Mansion. After only a while, the two of them arrived at the door of Xin Mansion. Before the door was closed, four guards stood on the left and right at the door, and they were cold-faced and pinched weapons. It was hard to speak at first glance.

The gate of Xin Mansion is actually not easy to enter, and Yao Si also knew this relationship, which was why she brought the guards. She turned around and said to the guard behind her: "If you go and communicate with the gatekeeper, you will say that I have something to ask for a visit to Mr. Xin."

The guard quickly responded, and trotted forward and said to the four guards at the door: "I am from Zhigezhai. The distinguished guests inside want to see the young master. Please let the brothers go in and report it."

Zhigezhai is the Xin family courtyard, and the idle people can't live in. The guards of the gate dare not delay, so they hurried in to report. Before long, they saw Xin Xiran trotting out. Seeing Yao Si was very excited, "Why did Sister Yao come to me personally? Is there something difficult?"

"There is indeed a difficult thing to ask for." Yao Si smiled and looked at the guard beside him. The man immediately understood and stepped back.

Xin Xiran rarely saw Yao Si asking for him, so she was very happy and asked, "If there is anything, as long as you say it, I can't do it."

Yao Si couldn't help but choke him, "If I want the moon in the sky, you can take it down?"

"I would rather ask me for the moon in the sky, but you are not a little-natured person." Xin Xiran smiled.

Yao Si waved to him to get closer and whispered: "I want you to help me check where Lei Zhibiao lives now?"

"Lei Zhibiao?" Xin Xiran didn't react at first. After recalling for a long time, she remembered that the son of the county magistrate who was beaten by him in Yuezhou.

His face darkened: "But that guy is causing trouble for you? This is such a dying thing. It's really a pity that day. How do you want to deal with him? Tell me, I'll make sure that my grandson will never dare to appear in front of you again."

Yao Si quickly stopped his guess, "He didn't provoke me, but I -- if you have something to do, you have to ask him for help. Don't ask why, I will explain everything afterwards."

Xin Xiranben still had to ask, but after hearing what she said, she could only endure the curiosity in her heart that she agreed to give the news tomorrow.

After Yao Si left, he sent someone to inquire overnight. It was midnight when he got the news, so he could only suppress it. He came to the door in person early the next morning, just in time to have breakfast in Zhigezhai.

Yao Si didn't expect that he would go so fast. Since he knew the location, he would not delay it. After breakfast, he told Chu Meng that he would go out.

Although Chu Meng didn't ask much on his face, Yao Si also knew that she had "suspicious behavior" these days, but she didn't know where to explain, so she had to pretend not to know, thinking that it wouldn't be too late to say it when everything was done.

Xin Xiran had to go out with Yao Si no matter what, and used this as a reward for inquiries about the news. Yao Si could not resist him. In addition, Lei Zhibiao lived in a place far from the center of the city, so he nodded, but she asked Xin Xiran to take Fumimi with her, saying that it was a useful place.

Because it was already winter, Xin Xiran was most afraid of the cold and made a special trip to set up a stove in the carriage. Yao Si's face was so hot that his face turned red, and he didn't look as heavy as when he went out.

Although he did not show up on his face, Xin Xiran could see that Yao Siding had encountered something big. He pondered for a moment before suddenly asking: "What are you thinking?"

Yao Si chuckled: "I'm just thinking, instead of waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative to attack, it's very good."

After driving for more than half an hour, I finally arrived at the inn where Lei Zhibiao stayed. It was not as lively as the center of the city. It was not until noon, and there were not many people in the inn.

Yao Si asked the shopkeeper about several nearby gambling shops, and then went to look for them next to Xin Xiran.

Even though there are few people, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Xin Xiran asked her uncertainly, "If I weren't in the gambling house, wouldn't it be a waste of work?"

If he had the meaning, there was no need to be such a troublesome place. He could catch him wherever Lei Zhibiao was.

"In Xiaxiang County, Lei Zhibiao likes gambling the most. If he changes the place, he will still be Lei Zhibiao, so how can he be an exception?" Yao Si first went to the largest gambling house and described Lei Zhibiao's appearance with Fushimi, and asked him to go in and look for someone.

Fushimi went for half a quarter of an hour and came out of the gambling house excitedly: "I really called the girl, and the younger one found the one with the surname Lei."

Yao Si thanked me and said, "I have to help me find about ten beggars and take them to the intersection in front of me. I will go to find you when the time comes."

Fujian looked at Xin Xiran, and the latter nodded. Only then did he dare to respond and leave in a hurry to find the beggar.

Xin Xiran stared at Yao Si for a while and asked, "Now waiting for that guy to come out?"

Yao Si didn't want Xin Xiran to be involved in this matter, and it was not that she didn't trust it, but that Xin Xiran was a member of the Xin family. Xin Zhongqiao must be looking for someone to write a poem in the city like Qiu Wanao. It would be better to let Xin Xiran know the truth and hide it from his father.

She thought for a while and advised: "According to my understanding of Lei Zhibiao, he will not leave the gambling gate until dark. I don't want to be eye-catching. Young Master Xin has a noble status, so I'd better go back first. I'll wait here myself."

Xin Xiran was silent for a moment and nodded happily: "I happened to have an appointment with a friend, and I will keep the carriage for you. When you are done, you will go back to Zhigezhai early." After that, he turned around and left.

Yao Si showed some unbearableness on his face. Xin Xiran was also a sensible person. He knew that he wanted to help him away, and he just hoped that this young master would not think too much.

She could only wave her hand and say goodbye to Xin Xiran. After he left, she thought that Lei Zhibiao would not come out for a while, so she went to the street intersection first.

Fushijidu was very fast. When Yao Si arrived, there were already seven or eight children waiting. He was smart. Knowing that this matter would attract the attention of others, he specially found a small alley with no one to settle the beggar.

Yao Si nodded and said enough, and said, "Your young master has already gone back first, you can go back too. Thank you this time."

Fujian was flattered and said that it was OK. Since Xin Xiran had left, he had no need to stay and left naturally.
