Boats go back and forth, anchor on the shore, thousands of sails gather, and thousands of merchants gather.

In the past few days in Xiangyang, Li Kuan has seen Xiangyang City, which is called "Handan of the Qin Dynasty and Qin Huai of the Ming and Qing Dynasties" by historians.

Wu Meiniang complained to herself that she hadn't played well for so long, so he simply took her to have a good time.

And the place I went to today is the world-famous Longzhong.

"Wu Langjun, isn't there a sentence in "The Teacher's Table" 'Chenben cloth, ploughing in Nanyang, and living in troubled times', why shouldn't this Longzhong be in Nanyang? I didn't expect it to be Xiangyang. ”

Gu Panpan looked at the beautiful scenery of Longzhong in front of him, and couldn't help but complain.

"The mountains are not high but elegant, the water is not deep and clear, the land is not wide and flat, and the forests are not large but lush. This is written in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", you ask the prince whether this description is Longzhong in Xiangyang or Longzhong in Nanyang? ”

Wu Meiniang smiled and pulled the topic to Li Kuan.

In fact, whether Zhuge Liang's former residence is Xiangyang or Nanyang has always been controversial.

Even if the Three Kingdoms are only a few hundred years away, no one can completely convince everyone where Zhuge Liang's former residence is.

"I tend to think that Nanyang in "The Teacher Table" is the current Xiang*** body, you can go and find historical materials, look at the distribution map of counties and counties in the Three Kingdoms period, and take a look."

Li Kuan didn't particularly care about this issue.

In fact, except for the people of Xiangyang and Nanyang, everyone else should not particularly care about this.

"Lord Wang, I heard that this Zhuge Liang married the daughter of a local celebrity Huang Chengyan, and this person is very ugly? Is there such a thing? ”

Kujou Apricot next to her, who hadn't spoken much, couldn't help but gossip.

This girl who looks like Yui Aragaki is a typical fan of the Three Kingdoms, and in the entire Chu Palace, it is estimated that she has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the most.

"That's right, Zhuge Liang is such a talented person, and he is the nephew of Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, how could he marry a very ugly woman?"

Gu Panpan also felt strange.

As a Yan Kong, Gu Panpan thinks that a handsome guy should be matched with a beautiful woman, otherwise why did she identify Wu Langjun at a glance?

"You guys, didn't you just hear that Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying has a nickname called Ugly, so I think Huang Yueying is a very ugly girl. Actually, I think this is a false rumor, nickname, because many children die young, so many times everyone will give their children a 'cheap name'. You see pheasant slaves and sons, in fact, they are not good milk names, are they? So I think that Ah Chou is not only not ugly, but should be very virtuous and beautiful, otherwise how could Zhuge Liang be willing to live with her for the rest of his life? ”

As soon as Li Kuan explained this, Gu Panpan and Kujou Xingxiang understood.

"Lord Wang, then the county lord of Yongping, you gave her a nickname called Little Corn, why is that?"

As soon as Qing'er's question came out, everyone's curiosity was aroused.

"Because I like it."

Li Kuan couldn't explain to everyone what corn was, so he had to ask everyone what they said directly.

"Lord Wang, the sun is about to set, or we are going back to the city, otherwise we may not be able to close the city gate and enter the city by then."

Wu Meiniang followed Li Kuan to play in Longzhong today, and she was in a very good mood.

However, she also knows that Li Kuan likes to take a comfortable bath every day and doesn't like camping in the wild.

……

Although the official road from Longzhong to Xiangyang is not very wide, it is quite smooth.

Li Kuan and his entourage rode horses and rode carriages, but soon arrived at the suburbs of Xiangyang.

At this time, there are more pedestrians, cars and horses on the road than before, and the speed is naturally not fast.

Wu Meiniang simply lifted the curtain inside the carriage and looked at the scene outside.

Of course, more often than not, she was looking at the back of Li Kuan, who was riding a horse in front of her.

Sometimes in a daze, sometimes smiling, making Gu Panpan on the side very tasteful.

"Huh?"

When Wu Meiniang turned her head to look at the side, she found that there was a strange scene on a fork in the road next to her.

I saw two strong men carrying a man who seemed to be sick on a stretcher, and although it was summer, this person was covered with a thick quilt.

On the pillow at the head of the stretcher, a curl of the patient's hair was exposed, and a golden cross was inserted into it.

However, the patient was lying on the stretcher sideways, and Wu Meiniang couldn't see her face.

"Wu Langjun, what's wrong?"

Gu Panpan, who has been paying attention to Wu Meiniang, naturally discovered Wu Meiniang's abnormality.

"I've said it many times, don't call me Wu Langjun. If you don't just call me Mei Niang like the prince, you can call me Wu Zhao directly, and you can call me Wu Niangzi no matter how bad it is. ”

Wu Meiniang glanced at Gu Panpan and once again showed a helpless expression.

"Okay Wu Langjun, is there anything wrong with those people?"

Gu Panpan followed Wu Meiniang's eyes, and also saw a group of people carrying stretchers on the fork in the road not far away.

I saw four or five sturdy men following on both sides of the stretcher, and from time to time someone helped tuck the quilt with their hands, as if they were worried that the patients on the stretcher would be invaded by the cool breeze.

And during the period when Wu Meiniang and Gu Panpan were looking at them, the two men carrying the stretcher stopped sweatingly and were replaced by two other sturdy men next to them who were responsible for carrying the stretcher.

"You go over and ask, who is this stretcher carrying, do you need our help?"

Wu Meiniang said to one of the guards next to the carriage.

After a while, the guard came back to report, "Miss Wu, the man in charge said that it was his sister who was on the stretcher, because she was seriously ill, after seeing a doctor in Xiangyang County, Lang Zhong said that there was no help, and her husband's family asked him to carry her sister back. ”

"This ...... This husband's family is too hateful, isn't it? How can you let people carry it back to their parents' house because they are about to die, and there is no humanity. ”

Gu Panpan couldn't help but scold on the side, but no one echoed her.

Although there are not many such things in the private sector, they are not uncommon.

Wu Meiniang had heard similar situations before.

After the team walked forward for a few more miles, Wu Meiniang still felt that something was wrong, and arranged for the guards next to her to turn around and go back again to see which village the gang had gone to.

"What's wrong, has something happened?"

Looking at the fast horse and going to the guard, Li Kuan looked at Wu Meiniang suspiciously.

"Lord Wang, I doubt that there has been a big case in Xiangyang City in the past two days, those people just now look very strange."

At present, there is still very little information, and Wu Meiniang did not directly say her judgment, but she did not hide her guesses.

"No, if there is a big case, it is impossible not to have no rumors at all. In a few days, I was going to let you help Xiangyang County deal with the recent case, and I specially sent someone to Xiangyang County to order Peng Zhian to pay attention to the cases in the city in the past few days. ”

Seeing that the task of "I am a detective" in the system is about to be completed, Li Kuan can now pay attention to various cases in Xiangyang City.

If a trivial matter is also forced to help Xiangyang County crack it, it may seem strange.

But if there's a big case, it's different.

"Lord Wang, when you come to Xiangzhou, all the officials must be desperately sorting out the things around them, so as to prevent any tricks from falling into your hands during this time. If you just came to Xiangyang a few days ago, and some big cases occurred, wouldn't it affect the evaluation of Xiangyang County's county order? ”

Wu Meiniang almost didn't directly say that the officials in Xiangyang County were lying.

Deception, in Wu Meiniang's view, is almost a common problem of many state and county officials.

To some extent, it can be regarded as human nature.

Of course, Li Kuan will not accept this reason from these officials.

In his place, he seeks his own affairs.

If you feel that you have wronged yourself by being an official, then you can not do it.

Whether you are a farmer or a businessman, there are plenty of opportunities waiting for you.

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Although Li Kuan didn't notice what was strange on the side of the road just now, out of trust in Wu Meiniang, he naturally wouldn't object.

Besides, if you don't go to the county office, you will take the initiative to find the case, and you will support Wu Meiniang to break it, both public and private.

By the time the group appeared near the Xiangyang City Gate, the guards who had just left had already rushed back.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Miss Wu, that group came to a village with a stretcher, stopped in front of a house, and two more sturdy men came out to welcome them in."

Wu Meiniang asked, "Do you remember where the village is?" ”

"Naturally, I remember."

"You bring a dozen or so guards with you, and as long as the people in that household are leaving, you can take them down."

Wu Meiniang is already eighty percent sure of her judgment.

However, there is a debtor who is wronged.

There is no rush to do anything until the matter is further confirmed.

……

"Miss Wu, I just went to the county government to inquire, and the officials there all said that there were no major cases in the past two days."

When Wu Meiniang and Li Kuan returned to their place of stay, the guards sent to the county government to inquire about the news had also returned.

"Mei Niang, Xiangyang is a traffic artery from south to north, could those people not commit crimes in Xiangyang City?"

On the way back, Gu Panpan told Li Kuan what he had just seen in a big way.

"Lord Wang, Mei Niang still thinks that it is the most likely to commit a crime in Xiangyang City. Why don't we arrange for some more people to inquire and see if there is something wrong with the family of any big family in Xiangyang City? ”

After Wu Meiniang finished speaking, she looked at Wang Xuanwu behind Li Kuan.

Although Wu Meiniang didn't know that there was such an agency as the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace.

But she still knows a thing or two about what Wang Xuanwu is doing.

Xiangyang is a very important state capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Xuanwu should also arrange manpower here.

"Okay, Xuanwu, you go and arrange it and see if anything happens."

……

Xiangyang County Ya.

"Ming Mansion, just now His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent someone to ask if there was any major case in the county, could it be that he heard something?"

County Lieutenant Guo Heng showed a worried look on his face and stood in front of Peng Zhi'an, the commander of Xiangyang County.

"Didn't I already ask you to tell him that this case will be administered for them after His Royal Highness the King of Chu leaves Xiangyang?"

Peng Zhian looked at Guo Heng with an unkind face, wondering if he hadn't done a good job.

"You won't tolerate bad things just because it's your own relative, right?"

"Mingfu, look at what you said, am I that kind of person? However, the person killed by the robbers was the cousin of Guo Yang, a well-known timber merchant in Xiangyang, and I am worried that if the time drags on for a long time, this case will be difficult to solve, and the Guo family will make trouble at that time. ”

"Doesn't Guo Yang live in Chang'an City all the year round and rarely return to Xiangyang? Besides, the robber wasn't arranged by us, so could it be that he can still blame us? ”

"That's what I said, but I always felt uneasy. According to the merchants who came from Ezhou, His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent thousands of people to Yazhou in Jiangxia County, and his subordinates were afraid that he would become addicted. ”

Ezhou is not particularly far from Xiangyang, and businessmen come and go frequently.

For example, the news that Jiangxia County Commander Wang Feng was taken down by Li Kuan, the deposed envoy, naturally spread to Xiangyang City quickly, and even had some impact on some merchants in Xiangyang.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been busy touring the mountains and rivers these days, as long as no one takes the initiative to poke this case out, there is nothing to worry about."

Peng Zhi'an is an official of the eldest grandson Wuji's lineage, so he naturally knows that the eldest grandson's family and Li Kuan, the king of Chu, are not very good at dealing with each other.

If something falls on Li Kuan, it is hard to guarantee that he will take the opportunity to take off his official hat.

That's why he arranged for the county lieutenant Guo Heng to suppress the case.

However, if you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do.

This case, where did he suppress it if he wanted to?

It was just a night of peace of mind, and the next day, not long after Peng Zhi'an got up, a Xu official told him that Li Kuo had come to the county government with someone, and Peng Zhian was so frightened that he ran from the backyard to the county government hall.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

When Peng Zhian came to the court, he had already seen Li Kuan sitting in his place.

"Peng County Order, this king asks again, in the past few days, have there been any major cases in Xiangyang City?"

Li Kuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with this county magistrate who wanted to deceive himself, and went straight to the point.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the people of Xiangyang are safe and self-serving, hardworking and simple, and there may not be any major cases all year round."

Although Peng Zhi'an was a little weak-hearted, he had no choice but to answer first.

You can't just raise your hands and surrender without doing anything, right?

"Oh? yes. Why did this king hear that the Guo family in the south of the city was patronized by thieves, and he caused a lot of death? ”

Swish!

Peng Zhi'an's face immediately changed.

Obviously, Li Kuan got some news.

However, at this time, he could only choose to believe that the people of the Guo family knew the current affairs.

"Huh? And what else is there? Please forgive His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the lower officials have never heard of this matter, why don't you invite someone from the Guo family to come to the county government to inquire? ”

Hemp eggs.

These people, everyone is an Oscar winner.

If Li Kuan hadn't known that the robbery must have existed, he would have almost believed that what Peng Zhian said was true.

"Okay, then bring people to the county office."

Li Kuan poured [Bayi Chinese Net] also wanted to see what this Guo family member would say.
