The empty mountains are lonely and uninhabited.

Two riders walked one after the other on the path between the trees.

Luo Jun was on the horse, and he had already begun to plan how to carry out the tasks assigned by the city lord.

He thought of the city guard who had infiltrated the Shao family's mansion before, in order to listen to the news and take on the duty of guarding someone when necessary.

But when I really got there, except for the occasional message, it wasn't much use.

The guard pretended to be a little servant to replace the youngest son of a family in Yizhou City who originally went to enlist.

Counting the time, these days are enough for him to be familiar with the Shao family's mansion.

Luo Junman pondered, inquiring about old cases, you can start with the chess pieces buried over there.

Outside the city of Yizhou, in the east mountain and the west mountain, there are two large households occupying the mountain as the king, but there is no one living in the middle area.

The scenery is very pleasant, the snow eagle took Luo Junman through the forest, the trees are lush along the way, the branches and leaves are connected, and the water of the stream is even clearer.

When he returned to the city, Luo Junman looked at the city lord's face with a much lighter expression, knowing that this trip was right, he cheered up and sped up his speed, so that he could rush back to the temporary mansion in Yizhou City to arrange the next matters

This autumn in the southwest is not destined to be calm.

First of all, a sudden earthquake disrupted the order of the entire southwest region, but fortunately, the new city lord Snow Eagle made a quick decision, not only in the resettlement of the victims, rescue of property, but also in the post-disaster put forward a series of measures.

In Yizhou City, the group of Ziming failed to get the desired compliance in order to convene the big families who were actually under house arrest, and the negotiation conditions proposed by the Shao family were instead accompanied by the passage of time, and rumors began to circulate quietly in the city.

An old case from five years ago, clues gradually surfaced.

It is rumored that the Fang family and the Shao family each have their own abacus. One side wants to take advantage of the thunderous rule of the new city lord to bring up the old matter of the murder case a few years ago, and the other side is trying to suppress this investigation.

The game between the two sides is complicated. The forces of all parties competed and got the best result. However, it raised an additional 3,000 taels for the construction of the project in the southwest.

Behind these three thousand taels, it is naturally inseparable from the suppression of this old adult case.

It is rumored that this is the handiwork of the Shao family.

I thought that the city lord of the southwest region had received the money this time, and the expected fundraising was a success, but unexpectedly, even more shocking news came out immediately.

The son of the Shao family disappeared on a way out, and the city searched for many days, but there was no news. Even the expansion of the search to the entire southwest has not made any progress.

At such a moment, the Shao family first fled a few subordinates, saying that they had escaped. It was because they all left quietly overnight, and it seemed that there was something strange, and then among the people who fled from the Shao family, there was a small servant who went to the city lord's mansion at night to report, and the content of the report was that there was a terrifying inside story hidden in the mountain behind the Shao family.

The City Lord's Mansion got the news and dispatched overnight. The guards surrounded the backyard of the Shao family in Xishan in one fell swoop, and the inside story found was really appalling.

Over the years, the sons of the Shao family have robbed many young women from all over the southwest and imprisoned them in the back mountain of Xishan, where the Shao family's mansion is located.

The heavily gated courtyard is the residence of Shao Wenda, the son of the Shao family.

Among them, the various methods of abuse are omitted, and the origin of these women who were rescued by the Lord of Snow City alone has alarmed the entire southwest. Even in Qibei, which is not far away, there are people who come to the southwest to claim it.

Not only that, but even the murder that shocked the portal city before the earthquake was identified by the imprisoned woman as the son of the Shao family, Shao Wenda.

At this point, no one cares about the life or death of the beast, and the wanted notice is still plastered all over the streets.

Although the main culprit was not apprehended, the evidence was conclusive, and the head of the Shao family almost scattered more than half of the Shao family's wealth for compensation after this incident!

For a time, Yizhou City and even the entire southwest region were in turmoil, and in this huge momentum, the southwest city lord Xue Ying, who had investigated the case and upheld the atmosphere, really sat firmly in his position

Snow Eagle opened the package and letter from the guards in his study.

He leaned back in his chair and sighed comfortably.

After a busy day, I can completely relax at this moment.

The package was sent by Yun Chu's subordinates who stayed in Xiyuan, the gateway city in the southwest, and to his surprise, there were several booklets in the package.

When he opened it, he found that only the one on top was the princess's handwriting.

The above lists the feasibility of governing the southwest region, and one stroke at a time, all of them are written in beautiful small letters.

He read it carefully, lest he miss a word.

The princess was still accustomed to talking to him, and between the words, it was as if the little girl who loved to laugh began to make noise in front of him again.

She once again emphasized that the batch of silver in Xiyuan was used to govern the southwest region, so he should not be embarrassed, and he must spend money boldly and with confidence.

Seeing this, the corners of Snow Eagle's mouth twitched.

The reading took more time than usual, and in a moment of excitement he closed the book and began to flip through the other books below.

As soon as he opened it, he suddenly stood up from his chair with a surprised expression!

These booklets are actually the same content, the construction of the southwest region.

The difference is that not only is it an upgraded version of the princess's writing, but it also uses a whole booklet to draw up various legal provisions for him, the lord of the southwest, to bind the people of the southwest.

There is also another booklet, which is a series of improvements after the earthquake, including the opening of schools, the rational way of tax extraction, and so on.

Snow Eagle read the rest of the booklets all night, and at the end of the day, it was the letter in a tightly sealed box.

After some painstaking opening, I saw that there was only a short line in the letter: "This is an exchange for tearing up the marriage contract." “

He put down the booklet and sat heavily in his chair, his eyes full of unpredictable emotions.

That person even knows this secret!

He was secretly ordered by the former lord of the Snow Country to use this southwest region as the princess's last reliance in the future, and what was kept secret was a marriage contract between him and the princess.

Snow Eagle sat there dejectedly, and suddenly it occurred to her that these two people had been missing for many days.

With that man's abilities, he had enough suspicions that this disappearance was probably just the beginning of another.

That's it. Since the princess trusts that person unreservedly, as long as she is happy and cherished

Luo Junman fetched a bucket of water for Cui'er by the well in the yard.

He looked at Cui'er, who was smiling and embroidering flowers on the side. He asked strangely, "Aren't you worried about your young lady?" “

Cui'er put down the embroidered bandage in her hand and said, "Is it useful to worry?" "She must have something important to do, and she followed Childe to do it. If she's done, she'll come back to pick me up, but she's said she'll never leave me. ”

"You're confident." Luo Junman muttered, and glanced at the direction of the study with some concern, "The city lord has been in for two days, and he hasn't come out." No one is allowed to disturb, he can't even take care of eating, I don't know what happened to him? ”

"You're worried?" Cui'er glanced at him and smiled, "Worried." Just knock on the door and try it, at most he won't open it, and he will scold you away. "A dumbfounded person like you will not lose a piece of meat if you are scolded." "Scold me for being stunned? Yes! Then don't call me to fetch water next time, you can do it yourself! "What does the second stunned have to do with fetching water? You work so hard, you can't even shirk such a trivial thing as fetching water, aren't you? “

The two of them were arguing passionately, only to hear a "squeak", and the door of the study opened!

Snow Eagle stepped out of the room. Standing tall at the door, only the bloodshot in his eyes could tell that he had survived for two days.

Luo Junman ran over and looked at him expectantly.

Snow Eagle patted him on the shoulder and said, "Aman, follow me out, let's go patrol the city!" "City Lord, there is one more thing today, you have been in the study, and I didn't dare to disturb you." "Say!" "Last time, Xiao, Miss Xiaoling mentioned the incident, I was a little eyebrows, and I received a letter from the Shao family yesterday." "It is said that the head of the Shao family intends to entrust us to find the whereabouts of the missing second son."

Xue Ying sneered: "Dead a stubborn big one, I finally remembered this second son, I drove him out at the beginning, but now I remember to look for him." "He can find it, but people may not be willing to follow." "Not bad." Luo Junman admired the city lord's speculation, nodded and said, "The letter from Qibei is exactly what you said, Shao Wenzong, the second son of the Shao family, plans not to return to the southwest again. "He and Fang Jinhua, the daughter of the Fang family, are ready to settle down in Qibei, saying that it is the senior brother of Xiaoling girl who has given funding, not only has a place to live in Qibei, but also plans to open a shop."

Xue Ying smiled slightly: "The third son of the Shao family stayed in the gateway city to become a doctor, and the second son is ready to open a shop in Qibei, and no one is interested in returning to the big mansion on the west mountain of Yizhou City." "Is there any news for the past few days?" "This, this" Luo Junman suddenly stopped the topic.

Cui'er on the side walked over and said with a smile: "City Lord, this Second Aman is going to bring his parents here, and I want to ask if you can find a spare house in the City Lord's Mansion." ”

"My father and mother can reclaim some wasteland in the back mountains, raise chickens and ducks, and grow some vegetables." Luo Junman blushed and said.

Xue Ying glanced at his rare embarrassment, and looked at his twisting and hesitant appearance, half reproaching and half laughing: "I have said it a few times, let you pick them up earlier, it is always inappropriate to stay in the deserted village to open a shop, and I have always taken my words as the wind." ”

"Lord Syracuse, Aman is afraid of causing you trouble." Cui'er helped the stunned man to excuse herself.

Xue Ying lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "That's it, if your father and mother are willing, you can continue to open an inn in the southwest, it's a big deal, hire a few more people to help, you should take care of them more if you have to be free, after all, you are old." ”

"Yes." Luo Jun's eyes lit up.
