Chen Ping listened to Lin Xiaoxiao's words, and it made sense to think about it, so he said: "Could it be that the national teacher came this time to hunt down Li Qiao'er and his henchmen?"

When Lin Xiaoxiao heard this, he was in the middle of it, and said: "Chen Shoubei is thorough, since this is the case, the national teacher will not say much, just ask, where is Li Qiao'er now?"

Mo Yuanshan secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that Lin Xiaoxiao told lies, and he still did it one by one, how did he find out." ”

Mo Yuanshan couldn't help but smile and said, "Chen Shoubei doesn't have to worry about anything. Now that she has lost the title of Queen Mother, and she is the person that the emperor is afraid of, you just need to say where the 'Happy Forest' is, the national teacher and the guards, and this treasure brother will go to find her, he will succeed day by day, and in front of the emperor, we will also speak for you. ”

Chen Ping still hesitated, and Lin Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Could it be that you have something to do with Li Qiao'er and want to hide her whereabouts!"

Chen Ping hurriedly said: "The national teacher misunderstood, how dare the lower officials." It's just that this Li Qiao'er once left a secret killer group here, led by her personal female guard, named Lin Hongniang, this person is strong in martial arts and has a mysterious whereabouts, although he does not dare to blatantly oppose the court, but it is also quite fearful. To tell the truth, as soon as the lower officials took office, they tried their best to eliminate the remnants of the Dongping Wang, although they took over the various government offices, but in the past few months, more than a dozen subordinates were assassinated, because they said something disrespectful to Li Qiaoer. ”

Mo Yuanshan exclaimed: "In this way, this Li Qiao'er still has quite a lot of power hidden in Dongping Prefecture!"

Chen Ping said: "That's right. What's even more terrifying is that this was originally the place where she and the King of Dongping operated, and many of the affairs of the King of Dongping have always been handed over to Li Qiao'er to take care of. Xiaguan was ordered to come here to take office, although the remaining party of the Ming Dongping King was cleared, but Li Qiaoer's people immediately went underground, and how many people were the dead soldiers she cultivated, Xiaguan is currently unknown. Just last month, officials sent out to collect taxes were robbed in public on the street. ”

Lin smiled and said, "There is such a thing, do you know who the hijacker is?"

Chen Ping said: "It's three masked women, and nine times out of ten they are Li Qiao'er's 'sister-in-law camp'!" Xia Guan later sent someone to investigate, but not only did he not find the result, but a few days later, he even received a warning about flying arrows. The female thief was so arrogant that she shot an arrow at the gate of the garrison and walked away. ”

Lin smiled and said, "Could it be that the sergeants in your garrison are all eating dry rice?"

Chen Ping was frightened, so he blushed and said: "Xia Guan can't be angry, so he immediately took someone to chase him, but this female thief fled into the downtown area, and Su Su disappeared." The people along the way didn't know anything, and they had the intention of deliberately obstructing and concealing it. ”

Mo Yuanshan said: "It seems that it is indeed not easy for you to be a guard!"

Chen Ping blushed and said: "Don't hide it from the national teacher and the two, the lower officials are indeed like thorns in the back, but they can't talk about their suffering." The minister knew that the emperor was planning a major event and wanted to sweep away Nan'anzhou, if the minister went up at this time, saying that this Dongpingzhou was not very peaceful, and there was a situation of salted fish turning over, and the emperor might not have the leisure to take care of it; wouldn't the other add chaos to the emperor and add trouble in vain. Xia Guan thought that when the situation here improved, those thieves were almost cleaned up, and it was not too late to report to the emperor. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao sneered: "Are you afraid of losing your black gauze hat." ”

When Chen Ping heard this, he was terrified, so he had to do it again and again.

Mo Yuanshan smiled and said, "In that case, you can tell us the address of the 'Happy Forest', and we will meet that Li Qiao'er by ourselves!"

Chen Ping said: "Then Li Qiao'er did return to Dongpingzhou, but after that, it was as if the world had evaporated." The lower officials also secretly sent people to track down her whereabouts, but to no avail. As for the 'Happy Forest', although the lower officials did not find out where it was, there was a place called Yan Zhai that was very suspicious. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Fat Yan Zhai?

Chen Ping said: "It's hard to say what to do. The lower officials once sent someone to investigate, but they didn't find any tricks. It's just that the place is very strange, and there are not many people in and out of it, but there are all kinds of people, occasionally there are fortune tellers, some go to talk about poetry, some go to buy some tea, rouge gouache, and some people go to paint for others, and so on. ”

Mo Yuanshan said: "So, that place turned out to be a hodgepodge." ”

Chen Ping said: "The same can be said, but ordinary people rarely patronize it." The place is adjacent to Dongping Street, and the sign hanging is the three words of 'Fat Yan Zhai', but there is no world in it, it is a very large house, although the pavilions and pavilions are not very magnificent, but they are small and chic, and they are not ordinary people can have. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao listened, thought for a while, and said, "Since you have been there and checked it, do you know who the master is?"

Chen Ping said: "The master is called 'Fat Yan Zhai'! Legend has it that she is a woman!"

Mo Yuanshan said: "Legend, as the governor of the local garrison, and you are suspicious of that place, haven't you seen the fat Yanzhai himself with your own eyes?"

Chen Ping sighed: "It's a shame to say, although the lower officials suspect that place, but one has no evidence, and they can't rely on the power to come here; As for the person of 'Fat Yan Zhai', he didn't even find a shadow, and the deacon's housekeeper and others only said that the master was not away and didn't know when he would come back. The lower official checked the title deed of his household registration, and it was indeed a woman named Fat Rouzhai who was the owner, and there was no other way for a while, so he had to send someone to secretly monitor him, but there was no gain. ”

Lin smiled and said, "In that case, how do you conclude that there is a problem in that place?"

Chen Ping said: "The large and small market towns in Dongpingzhou, and even the mountains and rivers of all sizes, the lower officials have sent people to comb through them, and they have not found any places where people can be hidden, and all post stations and intersections are guarded, especially along the way to Nan'anzhou, without the documents of the garrison or the imperial court token, it is impassable." This Li Qiaoer returned to Dongpingzhou City that day, and someone did see her. From this, it is concluded that she must still be in this Dongping City, but she is very deeply hidden. I think that except for the most suspicious in this 'Fat Yan Zhai', there are other places where she can't hide. Besides, if she wants to gather the old department and secretly plan and dispatch, it is impossible for her to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests alone. ”

Mo Yuanshan and Lin Xiaoxiao listened to this, and they both nodded and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable. ”

Chen Ping said: "Now the lower officials have not caught her any tricks, and they have not even seen her, although they suspect that many things are related to her, but they are helpless." And she has a lot of eyeliner, and the national teacher and the two adults came all the way, but I am afraid that they have already entered her sight. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao laughed and said: "So what, even so, I have a way to force her to show up, but I just need Chen Shoubei to cooperate more." ”

Chen Ping heard this, and said with a smile: "What is the trick of the national teacher, the subordinates are all obedient!"
