Chapter 13 The search was fruitless

Mingyu has been in Qicheng for more than half a month, although there is still no news about Xiaodie's assistance, and people have become more and more silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xue Wuxing and Bai Ruoyi didn't know how to persuade them, so they could only step up their investigation.

On this day, Guan Xiaodie came to the post house again, but saw Xue Wuxing headless flies circling in the garden, and asked suspiciously: "What are you turning here, why don't you guard your Mingmei?"

As soon as Xue Wuxing saw her, he hurriedly pulled her aside and complained: "Are you good or not, it's been more than half a month, there is no news, and you are not a good princess!"

Guan Xiaodie glanced at him when she heard this, "You have the ability, why are you still nesting here, I don't care if you are verbose." With that, he turned around and left.

Xue Wuxing pursed her lips and hurriedly grabbed her, "Why don't you just ask you a few words?" Xue Wuxing added another sentence in his heart after speaking, "I really don't understand this Guan Xiaodie more and more, I didn't have such hypocrisy before." Xue Wuxing was aggrieved by the villain in his heart.

Guan Xiaodie looked at Xue Wuxing's tangled face, her heart moved, and she reached out to pinch his face, it was really cute: "Let's go, there's news, this time your Mingmei won't think about it anymore." After speaking, he dragged the awkward Xue Wuxing into Mingyu's house.

At this time, Mingyu was discussing with Bai Ruoyi the issue of Baichangguo's sudden increase in tariffs.

The civil and military officials of the Baichang Kingdom have always been at odds with each other, and they will give these officials a large amount of gold and silver every year, and deliberately exacerbate their contradictions, in order to sabotage their unity against the Snow Country, so although the tariff silver increases every year, it will not be too much.

This time, Baichangguo's performance was too tough, and this was by no means formed overnight. Even the prime ministers and generals, who have always been at odds, unanimously demanded an increase in tariffs on silver, which always smelled of conspiracy.

What's more, Bai Ruoyi visited the prime minister several times, but he was either turned away, or he must have someone pushing him.

The two of them screened the ministers of Baichang Kingdom, and they couldn't imagine that anyone would have such a great ability, and even the civil and military ministers who couldn't handle the monarch of Baichang Country could handle it.

Guan Xiaodie's arrival interrupted their conversation, and after the two got up and saluted, Mingyu said, "Princess, please take a seat, but there is news from Hanyue." ”

Guan Xiaodie looked at Bai Ruoyi, who was standing behind Mingyu again, and said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be a loyal servant, who doesn't know that you Bai Ruoyi is the big financier of our Baichang Kingdom, and now you can manage most of the business of Lingyun Villa, sit down." ”

Bai Ruoyi smiled evilly, "Then thank you princess." ”

Saying that, he sat down and listened to the news brought by Guan Xiaodie.

Guan Xiaodie said: "The news from Wulu City in the south of my country, Boss Hu's group has been caught, they did bring a lot of girls with them, the city guard of Wulu City has sent troops to escort them back, and they will arrive in Qi City in about five days, but it is unknown whether Han Yue is among them." ”

Mingyu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said to Bai Ruoyi: "Ruoyi, Wuxing and I can't move around at will in Baichang Country, you take someone to check first." ”

Bai Ruoyi nodded yes, and took a letter from the princess to take people away.

The prince patted his chest after hearing what they said, and finally he didn't have to be so depressed, Xiao Yue'er hadn't seen Mingyu's good face since she disappeared.

After the prince calmed down, Guan Xiaodie said: "I know that you are investigating why the court is bent on increasing the tariff silver, although I am happy to see it happen, but this matter is really unreasonable.

Before you came, my father had ordered me to spy on me in secret. ”

"But what's the news?" Xue Wuxing hurriedly asked.

"Our Baichang Kingdom has always been divided into two factions, Prime Minister Du Yang and Protector General Shi Nanshan, who are dissatisfied with each other, and one side proposes to one side and the other side resolutely opposes it.

General Shi's faction has always advocated increasing tariffs, but Prime Minister Du Cheng's faction actually reconsidered, and even more active than General Shi, which is abnormal.

I checked the officials of Prime Minister Du Cheng's faction, and they all got the hint of Prime Minister Du. So if you want to check, start with him, and I also want to know who can affect the overall situation of my Baichang Kingdom. Guan Xiaodie said.

"Didn't your father secretly instruct you?" asked Xue Wuxing suspiciously.

Mingyu and the two of them looked at him and shook their heads wordlessly, this IQ is no one.

In less than five days, Bai Ruoyi rushed back, her face was a little unsightly, and she said to Mingyu: "Which girls do not have Hanyue, I have brought back Boss Hu, and I have already put them in prison, son, what should I do now?"

"Let's go, go to the prison," Mingyu got up and walked out the door, and Bai Ruoyi and the prince hurriedly followed.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped in front of the prison door, Bai Ruoyi stepped forward and shook a jade plaque with gold spikes in front of the cell boss, and the cell boss immediately nodded and took them in.

As he walked, he said flatteringly: "A few nobles, please, the chief of the princess's mansion has ordered, holding the jade card like the princess in person, please feel free to tell what the lords want to do." ”

The prince snatched the jade plate from Bai Ruoyi's hand and said, "This thing works quite well!" said as if he looked at it carefully a few times before stuffing it into his arms.

Bai Ruoyi saw it and held her mouth speechlessly.

When the three of them arrived at the cell where Boss Hu was being held, they all frowned when they saw the beaten people lying on the ground.

"Pick him up and give him some water," Mingyu commanded.

The cell boss hurriedly did so, and when Boss Hu came to his senses, Mingyu motioned for Bai Ruoyi to come forward and ask.

Before he got closer, Boss Hu had already howled: "I know everything I know, which girls have also been saved by you, if you want to kill, you have to kill them quickly, don't break Lao Tzu in pieces like this." ”

Mingyu glanced at the angry Boss Hu, and took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Bai Ruoyi.

Bai Ruoyi took it and walked up to Boss Hu, unfolding it for him to identify: "Do you know this girl? You took it away from Lingyun Town in the Snow Country two months ago." ”

Boss Hu glanced at it, shook his head and didn't know him, there were many people he kidnapped, how could he remember them all.

Bai Ruoyi said with a smile: "If you think about it again, it was taken by the rat and the rat." “

Boss Hu had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of the sick little girl, which he handed over to the fat man to carry.

But he hadn't seen the fat man come to him for so long, didn't the girl be saved, but seeing that these people attached so much importance to the girl, he suddenly felt a little scared, if he said that the girl was dead, what would these people do to him.

After a while, he said, "I did see it, but he was taken away by another group of people." They left early, and I'm afraid they have left Baichang Country by now. ”

At this moment, it must not be said that the girl is dead, and she may still have a chance of life if she is alive.

"Where were you taken?" Mingyu asked coldly.

"Here, they will be taken all the way south to Yunluo Country, and they will buy the kidnapped girls to the rich families along the way to be maids. "In fact, they sell the unremarkable ones to Qinglou or make concubines for others, and the outstanding ones will be brought all the way to Yunluo Country.

The country of Yunluo is the center of this continent, with roads extending in all directions, leading to the surrounding countries, and is a transportation and commercial hub.

Although it is a small country, it can be regarded as the most prosperous and rich place on the continent.

This country is full of restaurants, teahouses, and small houses. People from the south to the north, businessmen, and officials from various countries, they will find all kinds of reasons to stay and have fun here.

And those girls will be deliberately cultivated, and when they grow up, they will be unlucky to be prostitutes, and if they are better, they will be able to be top officials, and if they are better, they will be bought as concubines by rich businessmen and high-ranking officials.

The women there were all carefully selected, and the prices were often very high, so these people would travel thousands of miles to send the girls who were abducted or bought to the country of Yunluo.

Mingyu almost smashed into Boss Hu when he heard Yun Luoguo's clenched fist, "What do the people who took them look like, and how long have they been gone?"

Boss Hu listened to this cold voice, shuddered, and said, "After we leave the Yunchang Kingdom, there will naturally be another group of people to replace us. ”

Then he cautiously glanced at Mingyu and the others, "In order to prevent accidents, both of us are trading in masks, so as not to affect each other after the accident." In other words, he didn't know Han Yue's current whereabouts.

"Do you have anything else to explain?" Mingyu said coldly.

"No, I've said everything I need to say, that little girl is still young, and at most she will be sold to others as a maid. Boss Hu said with a fluke in his heart.

But the three of them knew what place Yunluo Country was, and what she would encounter when she went, and they couldn't even think about it.

"Are you sure you don't have anything to say?" Mingyu asked coldly.

"No, no, no, I know everything. Boss Hu didn't dare to look at the young man in front of him, he had seen so many people, and he had never seen his eyes so cold.

Mingyu took one last look at him and turned to leave, and the cell boss hurriedly followed, with a more respectful attitude, good guy, even a person as strong as Boss Hu saw that this young man had turned into a sheep, how powerful is this person?

"Three adults, what about this Boss Hu and his accomplices? Our adults have also been ordered by the princess, and everything is at the mercy of the adults. The cell boss asked flatteringly.

"Kill it!" Mingyu replied without replying.

"Ah......

All, all killed, will it be ......" The cell boss stammered, would it be too ruthless.

"It's too much pleasure to kill them, hang their heads on the head of the city for three days," Bai Ruoyi added with a smirk.

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

This time, the voices of the two sounded at the same time, Xue Wuxing and the cell head glanced at each other, and exchanged silently, there is no most ruthless, only more ruthless!

Back at the post house, Mingyu wrote a letter to a guard of the villa, instructing: "Give the letter to Mr. Mo, and at the same time tell Xiao Jia not to look for it along the way, and let him lead people to Yunluo Country immediately." ”

"Childe, you are going to Yunluo Country, then I ......" Bai Ruoyi saw Mingyu's eyes before she finished speaking, and did not continue.

"Ruoyi, there must be a mastermind behind the sudden increase in tariffs in Baichangguo this time, we have already alarmed them this time, just waiting for them to show their fox tails.

If you are alone here, I'm afraid that someone will be unfavorable to him, and you are here to watch him.

The journey to Yunluo Country is long, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, if there is anything difficult to solve, you can go to the princess to discuss. Mingyu said and glanced at Xue Wuxing.

Bai Ruoyi also glanced at Xue Wuxing, and said, "Yes, Childe." ”

"What's wrong with me, what else is there to discuss with Guan Xiaodie, what is her ability to be a little girl. Xue Wuxing looked at the two of them and asked a little inexplicably.

Mingyu didn't answer the prince's words, only gave Bai Ruoyi a look and packed up and set off.

Bai Ruoyi looked at the prince's ignorant expression. There was a period of weakness, but fortunately the snow country had a Ming family, and fortunately the prince had Mingyu, otherwise......
