Chapter 752 - The One I Want to Find Myself

Chapter 752?? I want to find it myself
Xie Qi, dressed in a green dress, originally had an extremely elegant appearance, but at the moment, he was covered in dust and had a pale complexion.
He suddenly stopped and stood on the steps, looking at her with a surprised and complicated expression in his eyes.
Behind him are more than five hundred guards of the prefectural mansion, wielding weapons and wearing solemn expressions, ready to go and exterminate the bandits. Below them is a purple-clad girl dragging along seven or eight dozen bandits who are trapped like worms.
The autumn colors are in full bloom in the city, and a gentle breeze is blowing, causing leaves to fall like rain in front of the mansion.
A young man in a blue outfit stands ten steps away from a young girl in a purple outfit, their eyes meeting in the midst of this golden shower of falling leaves.
In an instant, they all paused for a moment.
Cao Bin, the thirty-something prefect of Beiyang, walked by Xie Qi's side, not yet sensing anything wrong as he spoke to Xie Qi, "Don't worry, we will definitely take care of this..."
Xie Qi rarely had the patience to listen to Cao Bin's words. He raised his hand to signal that he need not say more.
The handsome young man in the green clothes smiled slightly at the purple-dressed girl not far away and called out gently, "Li Li."
His smile suddenly made the autumn atmosphere of Beiyang City, so warm that it felt like spring in an instant.
Yeli suddenly felt a slight tingling in her nose, she wasn't sure why.
Being away from this fool for only a few days, it felt as if they had already been apart for several years.
Night Li looked up at the sky and reversed the water color about to burst out of her eye sockets.
She thought to herself: I cannot be so lacking in toughness.
If I cry as soon as I see that fool, wouldn't I be worse off than a fool?
Ye Li took a deep breath, threw the hemp rope in his hand to Cao Bin, the Bei Yang Prefect standing next to Xie Qi, and asked calmly, "Did you issue the wanted poster for the bandits? How will the reward be given? In silver or banknotes?"
Caobin saw the situation and hurriedly grabbed a hemp rope, handing it to a group of prefecture leaders, saying, "You take your men and send these people to the dungeon for interrogation!"
The leaders immediately responded and, with over a hundred guards, took away the severely injured bandits.
Sigh...
Originally, Yeli wanted to say 'Give me the reward first', but with Xie Qi in the room, she couldn't bring herself to be so money-minded, so she forced herself to swallow the second half of the sentence.
As Ji Ling followed behind her, pulling the cart with oxen, he approached and said, "Miss, rest assured, the Lord Magistrate's words are trustworthy. The bounty that was promised will definitely be given."
"Yes, yes."
Cao Bin responded twice, then turned his head to look at Xie Qi and glanced at the purple-clad girl not far away.
In his heart, he speculated that this girl should be the person Xie Wu wanted to find, so he became even more kind-hearted. He chuckled and began to praise excessively, "Miss, you are truly talented and courageous. These bandits have been causing havoc in Beiyang City for a long time, and it has been a constant worry for me. But as soon as you arrived, you resolved this big problem for the people of Beiyang City. Not to mention a reward of one thousand taels of gold, even if it's something even more precious, as long as you ask for it, I will definitely offer it with both hands."
"Oh." Ye Li didn't feel much about such compliments. She resisted the urge to look at Xie Qi and said in a flat tone, "Then give me ten times more bounty."
She didn't mince her words.
Cao Bin was stunned on the spot.
Next to him, Ji Lingqing coughed twice and said, "Miss, this... is it too much..."
Before the scholar could finish his sentence, he heard the young man in the green robe nearby say softly, "Alright, I will give the extra tenfold reward."
The night's brow furrowed slightly, forcing her to look up.
As soon as the others heard her words, they followed suit.
Their gazes followed where she was looking.
Only to see the elegant young man in a green robe with flowing sleeves, who had been standing in front of the magistrate's mansion, slowly descended the steps and walked directly towards the girl in purple clothes. He asked in a gentle voice, "What else do you want?"
He looked as if he would give whatever was asked of him, regardless of the night he left his mouth.
After watching him quietly for a moment, Ye Li suddenly became annoyed, "I brought the bandit here and received the bounty from the governor's residence in Beiyang City. It was this official who said that I could ask for anything, so why are you suddenly talking about counting silver?"
Xie Qi's dark eyes looked at her, with a hint of helplessness and seven parts of doting, slowly saying, "You just want money, whether it's given by Cao Sheng or me, what's the difference?"
"Who said there is no difference?" Yeli grumbled, "Can the money I earned myself be the same as what you gave me for free?"
Xie Qi said, "Isn't mine yours?"
"No!" Ye Li said angrily, "Where did you get the silver? Wasn't it all given by Wenjiu? What does it mean when you give me silver from Wenjiu?"
Qie Qi was speechless: "......"
He really didn't expect her to think of that place.
Not to mention the silver he used was earned from selling warm wine, even if it was his eldest brother, or the salary of all the civil and military officials in the court, who could avoid Wang Caishen's silver?
"You're not speaking again!" Ye Li became even more resentful when she saw that he remained silent. "I've left on my own, why are you still angry at me?"
"I... I didn't... I haven't..."
Even though Xie Qi had thought for a long time about what he wanted to say to Ye Li, he couldn't say it now since they were both stuck in traffic.
Unfortunately, there was no way to say it at the moment.
The people around them looked at the purple-clad girl and the well-mannered young noble, whispering to each other, "Their relationship must be extraordinary!"
"Do I even need to say it?" a loud man with a booming voice exclaimed, "Definitely the wife at home throwing a tantrum and running out, and this young master here is desperately chasing after her!"
"Even the troops from the governor's mansion have been dispatched to suppress the bandits. This identity, tsk tsk tsk... it's extraordinary!"
Night Li, upon hearing their words, became furious and turned to the crowd and said, "Are you talking so loudly because you think I'm deaf?"
The crowd was instantly silenced.
Night Li gritted their teeth and continued, "What's this about a spoiled wife throwing a tantrum? The young master is eagerly pursuing me! Don't you have anything better to do than cracking sunflower seeds? What kind of strange scripts are you all reading?!"
The onlookers involuntarily backed away when they were hit with these words. Someone whispered, "Are they getting angry out of embarrassment?"
Yelia became even angrier, rolled up her sleeves, and went to drag that person out to beat them up.
"Lili," Xie Qi called out softly and reached out to hold her wrist. "It's all my fault, don't be angry."
"You..."
Night Lili has always had a bad temper.
But she can't stand it when Xie Qi acts like this. No matter when, he always says, "It's all my fault," which prevents her from getting angry.
At this moment.
However, Xie Qi held her wrist and gently looked at her, whispering, "I have been looking for you for several days. Finally found you. As long as you are okay."
The color of Night Li's eyes flickered slightly, listening to his words intermittently, and her emotions were somewhat complicated. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Who asked you to look for it?"
Xie Qi smiled slightly and said, "I, I wanted to find it myself."
Yeli ignored him and quietly pulled her hand back.
Xie Qi was about to speak to her when he heard the scholar beside him ask in a low voice, "Miss... who is this?"
