Chapter 724: There is no fear
Sure enough, as Wei Yanran expected, Qin Yenan's journey was very difficult, no matter where he and the Twelve Princes went, they would be deliberately targeted.
"Have you ever thought something was wrong with this today?"
Qin Yenan and the Twelve Princes sat on an unknown road in the wilderness, sitting here drinking and talking with a bonfire, and the town was in the distance, but Qin Yenan didn't want to enter the city.
has been out for a whole day, from the first place involved, to now can only find some innocuous things, if you can't find it, forget it, the most terrible thing is that the local officials don't take Gu Chengyu in their eyes at all, no matter what the two of them ask, it is all kinds of prevarication.
"My father only gave me a holy decree, they naturally didn't listen to what I said, and it was normal if they couldn't find something, and if they found out, it was abnormal, I just didn't understand, they knew that we were going over, but they weren't prepared at all, which was very strange."
Gu Chengyu understands everything in his heart, but what can he do?
He still can't figure out what the emperor is planning in his heart. Obviously, everyone is his son, but now even King Yong has a serious position in the court, but the emperor only gives him an idle position.
If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Hai has been favored for so many years, I am afraid that the ministers of the DPRK and China will not take him seriously.
Qin Yenan laughed very loudly when he heard this, "They are either upright and not afraid of us to investigate, or there are people behind them, who are fearless, knowing that we have nothing to do with them, what do you say?" ”
The answer is already obvious, these people are definitely not clean behind their backs. Collect taxes privately, forcibly occupy people's land, and even buy and sell official positions.
"Then I'll continue to check tomorrow, but if you and I come hard, it's not so easy to get out."
Gu Chengyu also responded when he heard Qin Yenan's words.
Today he showed the holy decree and token to go through the account book file, but these magistrates were stunned, Qin Yenan spoke louder as soon as he was in a hurry, but these people actually directly argued with Qin Yenan.
Qin Yenan had a meal in the city with the twelve princes with a belly of fire, and after releasing the carrier pigeon to report safety, he bought some wine and visited the city with him, and did not leave the city until dark.
Now he lights a bonfire and drinks and talks to the moon, and he looks free and easy.
Qin Yenan sat on the ground holding the wine jar and looked up at the moon.
He knew that this time would not be so smooth, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult from the beginning, but for some reason, at this time, he missed Wei Yanran and Xiao'er very much.
I don't know what Wei Yanran and Xiao'er are doing at this time, and whether the matter of Mu Hibiscus breaking into the palace last time has been resolved.
Qin Yenan thought as he poured himself wine.
Wei Yanran went to visit Xiao'er first, and then took Xiao'er to the old lady's yard, the old lady was pruning flowers and branches in the room, and when she saw Wei Yanran passing, she immediately put down the scissors and greeted her.
"But I haven't come to visit this old woman for three or two days, come and let me see if I have grown up."
The elderly like children, and they are always very kind to Xiao'er.
After Wei Yanran said a few words, she turned the topic to Mu Hibiscus, she lied to the old lady, saying that Qin Yenan was out on errands, and Mu Hibiscus was going to stay in the house for a few days these days, and she had to bother the old lady to take care of Xiao'er these days.
What kind of person is the old lady, as soon as she looks at Wei Yanran, she knows that she has something to hide.
"Go ahead, I'll just watch Xiao'er for you, it's not a big deal."
With the old lady's words, Wei Yanran's heart was steady, and she could go out with confidence. Ivy
Back in her room, Qingzhi and Lu Xue had already packed up the things they wanted to use, and when she picked them up, she saw that Qingzhi had prepared men's clothes for her.
"It's much easier to wear men's clothes when you're out and about, and it's also easy to ride a horse."
Lu Xue saw Wei Yanran looking through her clothes, so she took the initiative to explain, and Wei Yanran immediately agreed when she heard this, saying that Lu Xue was very thoughtful, but in addition to bringing the token of the Yasukuni Mansion, she also had to bring the handwritten letter handed to her by the Shanghai Guifei.
"Have a good rest tonight, I have to get up early tomorrow, I haven't walked this way, I don't know if it will go well,"
Wei Yanran lowered her head halfway through her words, she really didn't know if this road would go well.
She knew that it was impossible for either Gu Chengyuan or King Yong to watch Qin Yenan and the Twelve Princes investigate this matter, so Qin Yenan must have encountered difficulties, and it was imperative for her to make this trip.
As soon as the morning dawned, Wei Yanran had already gotten up and packed herself up, and changed into a capable men's clothes, she looked at the bronze mirror for a long time, and found that she was quite dignified in men's clothes.
"Qingzhi, Hibiscus will come over in a while, she also has something to do when she comes to the house, you have to watch her learn all the etiquette on the day of the sacrifice, and there can be no mistakes on that occasion."
Wei Yanran was still worried about the people around her before leaving, and Qingzhi was also worried when she heard this, but she could only respond.
"If you keep walking out of the capital, if you don't stop on the road, you can just reach the place where the Lin family lives before the sun sets in the afternoon, but if you go on like this, I'm afraid that the horses won't be able to hold it."
Lu Xue had already read the map, she roughly estimated the distance, and she had a number in her heart, Wei Yanran's mood instantly became a little heavy when she heard this.
If this is the case, even if there is any delay on the way, the two of them will not be able to arrive on time, which will delay the day.
"Forget it, run faster, and find a place to feed the horses after noon."
There is not much time left for Wei Yanran, she must race against time.
No matter how good the horses of the Yasukuni Mansion were, they couldn't run hard, and by noon, Wei Yanran's horse was obviously unable to run, so Wei Yanran had to find an inn to go in and rest.
But as soon as she sat down, she heard a commotion in the backyard.
Wei Yanran didn't plan to see it at first because she was in a hurry, but she was about to finish eating, and the noise in the backyard still didn't stop.
The man looked like a scholar, and argued with the shopkeeper in the courtyard, saying that there was a problem with the things in this shop, and that he was shoddy, and that he had lost money in the store.
"That's it, what's the noise at noon, this money is for you."
Wei Yanran saw that the scholar's appearance was extraordinary, so she took out a few pieces of broken silver from her cuffs and threw them over.
The man took the silver and was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, Wei Yanran and Lu Xue had already led the horse out.
Wei Yanran and Lu Xue had already run a long way on horseback. I heard someone shouting from behind, and it took several times for the two of them to stop.
When I looked back, it was the person who was shouting in the back who was dressed as a scholar.
"Thank you two, in the Xialin clan, the sons, if you don't dislike it, call me Ziye."
Wei Yanran's eyes lit up when she heard this person's words.
Coincidentally, I met someone from the Lin family on the way, and God really helped me.
