Huan Ji took into account the young age of the second prince and let him follow him for a long distance, so he agreed to let him take the carriage, which also made the second prince tired enough. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

All the officials were in a hurry, they didn't want to spend the night on the mountain, let alone be sent back to Beijing, it would be too embarrassing.

At first, they still walked according to their respective camps, and this time they were not enjoying the scenery, and they all pulled out their legs and walked up vigorously.

Horse-drawn carriages have a flat road for horse-drawn carriages, and mountaineering has stone roads for mountaineering, and the road for horse-drawn carriages is flat but more than twice as long as that of a person.

And they didn't think about climbing the stairs, they just thought about walking according to Princess Huanji, and if all the women in the family could walk up, they wouldn't be bad.

After walking for half a moment, the gap was reflected, due to personal physical problems, the problem of walking fast and slow on weekdays, they gradually widened the distance.

The physical strength is good all the way to the front, and occasionally the three factions also have the color of competition;

The physical strength is far away and gritted their teeth to follow, they don't want to be the last one;

Those who fall behind have various problems, such as being physically unable to walk; There were also those big fat men, all of them were like being fished out of the water, and they began to babble, and they didn't even have the strength to speak; There is also a group of big smoking guns, and they have to stop and smoke a few puffs of cigarette pouches as soon as they stop walking.

The guards in Qingzhou watched coldly, no one to support them, and no one to help.

Some officials thought that it would be good to use silver to make a point, even if it was to let the two guards walk for a while.

Who would have thought that the Qingzhou guards would ignore them at all, Qingzhou people have guaranteed birth, schooling, work, work, and even birth, old age, sickness and death.

In the end, it was the officials who put aside their prejudices and helped each other up the mountain.

By the time they went up the mountain, it was getting dark, and Princess Huanji and her husband had already soaked in the hot springs twice, and even the Qingzhou soldiers who followed them had soaked in the hot springs and slept for a while.

Huan Ji plans to stay on the mountain for two days, these officials who don't exercise all year round, they look fine today, and it is estimated that when they get up after sleeping, they will all become lame and crabs.

Sure enough, as Huan Ji expected, early the next morning, Huan Ji saw people walking sideways, all the officials were sideways, walking sideways, their leg muscles were sore, and even the threshold was gritted teeth.

Huan Ji secretly laughed, let them eat by themselves, it was obvious that the three factions were sitting together according to the size of their official positions, although they had prejudices, but after yesterday's events, they touched something in their hearts.

Princess Huanji's sentence, 'Business is business, private friendship is private friendship, political discord is a common thing, but when you play in private, I hope everyone will get rid of their suspicions.'" ’

It's only been a few days, and they feel that they can't even compare to a woman and a child, even though this woman and child are very different from other women.

And Huan Ji is preoccupied with another thing at the moment.

During the meal, Gu Yuan pretended to be mysterious and said, "Princess, do you know why this place is called Wuwidow Town?" ”

Huan Ji asked, "Which three words?" ”

Gu Yuan dipped his tea and wrote these three words.

Huan Ji joked, "It can't be that there are no widows in this town, right?" ”

Huan Ji's smile didn't stop on her face for a moment, and her face froze because she saw Gu Yuan nodding.

Huan Ji exclaimed: "How is this possible, how can it be that there is no woman in the town who has a dead husband?" ”

Gu Yuan and Huan Ji looked at each other, and then the two of them said at the same time: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." ”

Gu Yuan was ordered to inquire about this widow.

This news is not difficult to investigate, but the results of the investigation are even more surprising.

A nearby villager said: "We don't know what's going on here, but all the widows in the past 20 years have left, either leaving their children behind the adulterer or disappearing, and there are no widows in the village anyway." ”

Gu Yuan: "Then no one is looking for or inquiring?" ”

The villager said: "Why not, some children look for it when they grow up, but they can't find it." ”

Gu Yuan: "Could it be dead?" Has anyone ever found or found a body or something? ”

"That's the strange thing, no body has been found so far," the villager said. ”

Gu Yuan: "What about the reporting officer?" ”

The villager said: "I reported to the official, but the government didn't give an explanation in the end." ”

Gu Yuan inquired about a few villagers, and the words were almost the same, and there were several children who had no father and no mother, so they could only beg or sell themselves to big families to be girls, all of them were very pitiful.

After Gu Yuan made a report, Huan Ji took people directly to the county office.

The county order knew about Princess Huanji's southern tour early in the morning, but it was said in the official document that wherever Princess Huanji went, the officials did not need to meet and bow, and they were not allowed to work and hurt the people, and they were not allowed to harass the people.

This county order is in the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion, and they are very obedient, and they are very afraid of Princess Huanji, and when they heard that Princess Huanji came to the county office, they thought that the princess blamed him for not receiving him.

The county magistrate took the big and small officials to bow to Princess Huanji, and knelt down one by one to surrender their crimes.

Huan Ji said: "Get up, this princess is here to ask about the case of those missing widows. ”

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he didn't blame it, but he came to help investigate the case.

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "This is an unsolved case in the county, and I don't know what's going on, all the widows in the county have disappeared in the past twenty years." Xia Guan has only been here for five years, and those disappearance cases have also been investigated, but there are no results, and then they are put away. ”

Huan Ji said: "I still need the help of adults in this matter, so let someone send all the files to the post house later." ”

Huan Ji and his party stopped, and the matter quickly spread to Jingshi, Jingzhao Mansion Yin said: "The lower officials also know about this matter, and the lower officials also ordered to search for those missing widows everywhere in Jingzhao, but they found nothing, and they didn't ask again for a long time." ”

Under the curiosity of the emperor, the whole court is paying attention to this case, how can the big living person disappear, and it is not one or two, for a full twenty years, there are eighteen widows who have disappeared, and ten adulterers who have disappeared.

The accompanying group of thirty officials followed Princess Huanji to check the file.

Some officials complained that how could this be found out, they all said that it was an unsolved case, and if it could be found out, it would not be an unsolved case.

After two days of tidying up, Huan Ji found a small problem.

Huan Ji asked: "You say, is it possible that the first person to report the crime is actually not the first family member to go missing?" (To be continued.) )
