Fortunately, although the thin porcelain tea bowl in Zhao Sanniang's hand looks thin, it is actually hard, otherwise it would have to be crushed by her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

She felt that there was a fire burning in her head, and she took several deep breaths before finally pulling out a somewhat awkward smile and thanking Lao Suo repeatedly.

Then, as if she was stepping on hot wheels on the soles of her feet, she quickly slaughtered out of the gate of the academy - now she has to give those two little cubs some color to see! Hmph, if you don't give them a little bit of power, they don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!

Looking at Zhao Sanniang, who was gone, the cloth-clothed young man standing at the gate of the academy was thoughtful.

"Lord Wang, please come here." When the old man saw the prefect coming, he hurriedly led him to the Minglun Hall where the mountain chief was.

Wang Minzhi retracted his gaze, bowed slightly towards Lao Suo, and walked forward following Lao Suo's guidance.

Along the way, Wang Minzhi thought a lot and thought of many things that he hadn't thought of before.

Under the agitation of the mood, he was a little unsettled when he played chess with the mountain chief of Taoshan Academy, and actually lost several games to the mountain chief's stinky chess basket, which made the mountain chief addicted, and refused to let him go at all, and he refused to let him go until he played a few more games.

It wasn't until it got dark that he was able to escape.

That night, Wang Minzhi summoned his subordinates in the secret room and asked slowly: "More than half a year has passed, hasn't Zhao Siniang's whereabouts been found out?" ”

If Jiang Ling was there, he might be able to recognize that one of those subordinates was the one who kidnapped Zhao Siniang from the Double Happiness Inn that day.

The subordinate who stood at the top should be their leader, and he said, "I have failed to live up to my lord's trust, and I deserve to die for my humble position." ”

"I summoned you here, not to ask you to come and ask for sin, but to find out Zhao Siniang." Wang Minzhi said slowly: "These days, we have searched all over Yan Kingdom, but we have never seen any trace of Zhao Siniang, which is very unreasonable. If we say that we have limited manpower and can't search every corner and find out what is missing, then what about Feng Xuanxuan? He has the real Yan Yunwei in his hands, but even if he tried his best to find it, he didn't find Zhao Siniang's whereabouts, which is incredible. I'm wondering, could it be that Zhao Siniang is no longer in Yan Kingdom? ”

The leader was surprised: "Not in Yan Country? "So where can she go? Did she go to Ningguo, or did she go to Shu, or did she go to Yuan? Anyone who wants to go to a place will leave more or less traces along the way, but they don't find such traces at all. Zhao Siniang can't fly, how could she run away to other countries without a sound?

Wang Minzhi was young and notorious, and the leader had always looked down on him. But His Royal Highness the Prince explained that they should obey Wang Minzhi's orders unconditionally, and they must not disobey them, so they will obey Wang Minzhi's dispatch, but they are not convinced in their hearts. At this time, hearing Wang Minzhi make such a fallacy, he suddenly felt ridiculous.

Wang Minzhi's eyes were keen, and when he saw the corners of the leader's mouth twitching slightly, he understood that he didn't think so, and said: "Yes, it's not in Yan Kingdom, maybe Zhao Siniang left Yan Country from the beginning." The reason why we didn't find any trace of her is probably because she didn't take the usual land or river routes, she took the sea route......"

Hearing this, the leader chuckled in his heart, and then felt that it was impossible.

I only heard Wang Minzhi continue: "I know, you will think it is incredible, thinking that the imperial court has banned the sea, how can Zhao Siniang go to sea?" But don't forget, you did bring Zhao Siniang to the ship that day, and the ship was docked in a bay full of sea boats. Could it be that after Jiang Ling rescued Zhao Siniang, he immediately took her to secretly hide in a certain sea boat, and then the sea boat carried them to the ocean. Only in this way can we explain why Zhao Siniang has no news. ”

The leader couldn't help but retort, "It's impossible. It is true that there are many sea ships docked in that bay, and it is not false that those sea ships can go to sea. But we have investigated, it was some merchants who quietly bought the people of the city shipping company in order to save the transportation fee between the two states of Youyun, and let their sea boats walk on the sea route between the two states of Youyun. In other words, the route of those sea ships is fixed on the coast between Youzhou and Yunzhou, and will never sail to the real ocean.

"Where we would take Zhao Siniang at the beginning, we also saw that this route was hidden and convenient, and it would not be easily noticed, so we wanted to send Zhao Siniang to Yunzhou through it. Later, Zhao Siniang lost it inexplicably, and we immediately searched all the ships in the bay, worried that there would be misses, and later carefully searched the coast of Youyun and Youyun Prefectures. But as you know, no traces of Zhao Siniang were found. This fully shows that Zhao Siniang did not take the sea route. ”

Wang Minzhi asked: "Can you be sure that those sea ships really sailed between the two states of Youyun honestly and did not go elsewhere?" ”

I think that's what he thought at the beginning. Thinking that it was a felony to violate the ban on the sea, those merchants dared to let the ship sail in the two places, but no matter how bold they were, they would never be bold enough to sail the ship farther. After all, the officialdom of the two places is now chaotic, and the people in these two cities are very easy to buy, and it is nothing to go to the sea privately, but it is not necessarily the case in other places.

However, now that Zhao Siniang can't be found, he has to start from scratch to reflect.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. He began to realize that merchants are very profitable, and maybe some masters who want money and don't want their lives dare to take money from the oil pot and spend it, and are willing to risk killing their heads to engage in maritime trade. If you think about it carefully, in fact, the sea trade is not as dangerous as imagined, there is no need to do too much, as long as you buy the people of Youzhou City, you can release the ship to sea. At that time, whether the ship is going to the West or the South Sea, it can do a profitable business. Under the temptation of such huge profits, who can guarantee that some daring merchants will not be tempted?

The leader was by no means stupid, and when Wang Minzhi said this, he also began to realize that they had most likely missed a very important part.

So, the leader didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly led his subordinates down to investigate in detail along this line of thought.

Wang Min was the only one left in the hall, and the flickering candlelight reflected on his jade-like face, making him a little gloomy, which was very different from the warmth and brightness he usually showed.

After a long time, Wang Minzhi chuckled lightly and muttered in a low voice: "Red sleeves, red sleeves, you can't run away this time, right?" ”
