Ling Ruo pushed open the carriage door, stared at Suoli with a solemn face, and said, "Didn't you find the Seventeenth Master?" ”

"Yes, the subordinates and others searched for a night and didn't see any trace of the prince, and even Ah Heng and Ah Cheng were gone. When his subordinates came back, they wanted to go to see the prefect of Zhengzhou Mansion and ask him to use the power of the government to search all the mountains and forests outside the city and find the prince. The subordinate Zhilu Dao prince has never wanted to alarm the government, but at the moment, the subordinates and others really have no choice, and I ask my wife to forgive me. ”

Ling Ruo nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see the prefect of Zhengzhou." ”

"Madam, ......" Sori was a little surprised, although he didn't know the true identity of Lu Dao Lingruo, but he knew that the reason why Lu Dao Yunli didn't want to alarm the official mansion was because of the woman in front of him, how could he not have imagined that she would take the initiative to go to the prefect.

Ling Ruo saw his thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "I really don't want to deal with the government, but the whereabouts of the seventeenth master are unknown, even if I don't want to, I can only go, I hope that my words and the token in your hand can make the prefect believe it, and send someone to find the seventeenth master." ”

"Yes!" After Sori agreed, he turned over his horse and went with everyone to the prefect's yamen with Ling Ruo's carriage.

As for Yang Yingxiong's side, he just received a report from the official guarding the city, saying that the king of Liguo County had an urgent matter last night and went out of the city overnight.

"King Guojun, didn't he send an envoy to Zhun Geer on the orders of the emperor, why did he suddenly appear here with us?" Hearing this name, Yang Yingxiong was surprised, but also a little worried, he naturally didn't care about it, but now...... The fourth elder brother is in Zhengzhou, if Yunli sees the fourth elder brother, then the matter will really not be hidden.

Master Liu understood Yang Yingxiong's thoughts, and said: "I think it is the king of Guojun who came back from Junggar and passed through us on the way, but fortunately, the king of Guojun is out of the city now, since he has something important, he should not come back, you can rest assured." ”

Before Yang Yingxiong could nod, a messenger came in and said, "My lord, there are people outside who claim to be the guards of King Guojun, and they are in a hurry to see your lord." ”

Yang Yingxiong frowned suddenly, what's the matter, didn't he go out of the city, why did he turn back, could it be that they found that the fourth elder brother was here, so they came to ask for someone for themselves?

He was a thief with a weak heart, and as soon as there was some trouble, he was very nervous, but he was nervous, and the people were already here, so he couldn't rush out, and said, "Let them in." ”

After thinking about it, Yang Yingxiong was still not at ease, and said, "Master Liu, you hurry up and keep an eye on Buqi, don't let him come to the front office." ”

"Humble and knowing." Soon after Master Liu went down, the yacha brought people in, and when Yang Yingxiong saw that the person walking in front was a woman with Liujia, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and coughed and said, "Are you the guards of King Guo?" ”

"Exactly, the reason why the inferior people took the liberty to ask to see the prefect is because my lord has disappeared since he left the city last night, and he can't find it everywhere, and he is not familiar with the terrain here, so he can only come to see the prefect in desperation, hoping that the prefect can send someone to find the prince." Since he had already pretended to be Yunli and went out of the city before, he could only continue to lie now.

After that, he took out Yunli's token, and after Yang Yingxiong identified the authenticity of the token, he said: "The king of Guojun went out of the city last night, and the official already knows about it, but the officer guarding the city once said that the prince did not go out of the city alone, how could he be missing?" ”

Before Sori could speak, Ling Ruo had already taken the first step and said: "Although Sori and the others accompanied the prince out of the city, the prince was anxious to take the first step, and by the time Sori and the others arrived, the prince was gone. The prince is the younger brother of the current emperor, the body of a daughter, if something really happens, not only us, but even the prefect You can't afford it. ”

Seeing that Ling Ruo had already buttoned a big hat for himself in a few words, Yang Yingxiong looked at this woman with a beautiful complexion and extraordinary bearing with some surprise, "I don't know if this is ......"

"This is my wife." Sori's casual explanation made Yang Yingxiong misunderstand, thinking that Ling Ruo was Yunli's Fujin, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Xiaguan has seen Guo Fujin." ”

Although the last time I returned to Beijing to report on my work, I hadn't seen the king of Guojun accept Fujin, but this was also two or three years ago, and it was very normal to accept Fujin during this time.

Regarding Yang Yingxiong's misunderstanding, Ling Ruo didn't explain more, and he had to pull another identity for himself after he had to explain, and said: "The prefect doesn't have to be polite, the most important thing at the moment is to find the seventeenth master, and I hope that the Yang prefect can help." ”

"Fujin rest assured, the lower officials will send someone to search outside the city in a while, and they will definitely find the prince." Although Governor Yang was reluctant to do so in his heart, he couldn't say this, otherwise King Guojun would really have an accident, and he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

However, sending people out with such fanfare, Buqi will definitely hear about it, in case it ...... Alas, things are really getting more and more complicated, and now I can only take one step at a time, and I just hope that there will be news from Beijing as soon as possible.

Ling Ruo nodded politely and said, "Everything is up to the prefect, I will live in the Fuyun Inn now, as soon as there is news, please send someone to inform me immediately." ”

"It must be certain, Xia Guan sends Fu Jin." After sending Ling Ruo out, Governor Yang's horse-like face immediately sank, and when Master Liu came out, he hurriedly said, "How did you stop Buqi?" ”

"Buqi was busy calculating the grain and silver presented during this time, and he had no intention of coming to the front office, so he came out to take a look when the time was almost up, my lord, have all the people of King Guojun left?"

Governor Yang said in a deep voice: "Yes, it's gone, but King Guojun is missing, they ask us to send someone to search for the whereabouts of King Guojun, such a big action will definitely reach Buqi's ears, and when the time comes, the fourth elder brother will definitely find a way to see King Guojun." ”

Master Liu's eyes rolled around and said: "At present, only adults know about this matter, as long as adults don't say it, how can Lord Zhizhou know about it!" ”

"It's ridiculous, I have to send someone to find it, how can I not ......say it" Halfway through the words, Yang Zhifu suddenly understood another meaning in Master Liu's words, and pondered: "You mean, don't tell the identity of King Guojun?" ”

"Yes, my lord, think about it, King Guojun came to Zhengzhou Mansion but no one knew, if it wasn't for this accident, we would still be kept in the dark, it can be seen that King Guojun doesn't want others to know too much, in this case, let's come to a boat and tell everyone that we are looking for a nobleman." However, on the side of Guojun Wang Fujin, I still have to explain it to the adult, so as not to make her dissatisfied. ”

Master Liu's words made Governor Yang very happy, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, this is indeed a way, even if Bu Qi is really suspicious, he can't imagine that he will be the king of Guojun for a while." As long as we wait for the letter from the capital, we don't need to be so passive. ”
