"Lord, it's time to go." Chen Shi had already prepared the horses.

"The princess has returned home, and at this moment, the prime minister must have begun to investigate, be careful all the way." Chen Shi's eyes were full of uneasiness.

"Don't worry." Fu Qinglian rode away.

Chen Shi looked at Fu Qinglian in the distance, and then entered the mansion.

In the study, there was a person who looked exactly like Fu Qinglian, who was reading a book. Seeing Chen Shi coming in, he immediately put down the book in his hand.

"Your Excellency." This person was respectful to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi put his hands behind his back: "In the next few days, I will leave it to you, but don't show your stuffing." ”

"Don't worry, sir."

Chen Shi really couldn't let go of his heart, I don't know if anything will happen on the way to Dongcheng, Fu Qinglian is single-handed, if he is targeted by someone with a heart, this matter may be tricky.

Fu Qinglian didn't dare to delay for a moment, and drove his horse all the way to Dongcheng, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate, Fu Qinglian stopped.

The outside of the city was full of refugees, and the city gates were heavily guarded. It's not hard to see what this is watching.

Fu Qinglian dismounted and walked towards a mother and daughter in front of him. The mother and daughter were in rags, and their lips were already chapped.

Fu Qinglian untied the kettle on his waist and handed it to the little girl.

"Thank you, good Samaritan." The mother and daughter couldn't stop saying thanks.

Fu Qinglian looked around and asked, "Why are you all gathered here, why don't you go into the city?" ”

The woman was stunned and sighed: "We also want to go in, this county has given an order not to let us enter the city, otherwise, we will all be beaten to death." ”

Fu Qinglian then said: "But didn't the emperor give an order? To do all their best to help the refugees, the county guard is doing the opposite. ”

The woman sneered: "The emperor is far away, who can manage here, someone has come to inspect, just make a face." ”

The woman's tone was full of disappointment, and she didn't say anything more, just hugged the girl in her arms.

Fu Qinglian got up, looked at the city gate, and only felt sarcastic in his heart, he strode towards the city gate, and was stopped at the gate.

"No one can enter without a certificate." The guards held their weapons horizontally in front of their eyes.

Fu Qinglian said coldly: "Is this how you stop people outside?" A nonsensical word, the soldiers did not care.

Seeing that he could not produce the voucher, the soldiers were preparing to drive him away. Fu Qinglian suddenly took out a document from his arms: "You can go in this way." ”

The soldiers checked it carefully and then let it go.

Fu Qinglian looked at the refugees outside the city gate, and silently thought in his heart: "Wait, it won't be long before I will give you an explanation." ”

The county guard of Dongcheng is holding a banquet in the palace, and today is his birthday banquet, and the people with heads and faces in the city are here to celebrate him.

Suddenly, the little guy came forward and whispered a few words, and his face changed greatly.

"Really, King Jing is really coming here?" The county guard hurriedly asked.

"The prime minister sent someone to let the county guard pay more attention. If King Jing sends someone to investigate, it is better to take precautions as soon as possible. The little guy replied.

The county warden breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, as long as His Royal Highness King Jing doesn't come in person, I promise that no wind will leak out, and the prime minister can rest assured." ”

The person who came went back to his life like this, and the county guard picked up a grape and put it in his mouth, sneering, "This prime minister is too fussful, King Jing just sent someone to investigate, and look at what scared him." ”

Fu Qinglian entered the city, went straight to an inn to settle down, and as soon as he entered the door, the proprietress greeted him: "Guest officer, are you playing a tip or staying in a hotel?" ”

"I want an upper room." Fu Qinglian said lightly.

"Well, that's for you." The proprietress hurriedly led Fu Qinglian up.

"Looking at the son's dignified appearance, listening to the accent seems to be a foreigner, here is it? Looking for relatives? Or play? The proprietress asked tentatively.

"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask." Fu Qinglian warned.

"Yes, yes, it's me who is too talkative, don't blame Childe."

"Here, this is the room, the son has a good rest first, if there is anything, just tell the shopkeeper directly." The proprietress went out respectfully, and changed her face the moment she closed the door.

"Send someone to inform the county guard, Kyori has already sent someone." The proprietress hurriedly gave the order.

"Keep an eye on him, and let me know if he has any news." The proprietress instructed her and turned to leave.

Fu Qinglian was in the house, listening to the footsteps of the proprietress gradually walking away, and then sat down and thought about what to do next.

The owner behind this inn is the Dongcheng County Guard, this inn is called the Inn, in fact, it is specially used by the County Guard to find out the news, which is why Fu Qinglian will enter the city and will go straight to this inn.

Perhaps, here, what will be the breakthrough? Perhaps, some useful news can be found.

Fu Qinglian calmly waited in the room for the arrival of the middle of the night.

……

"It's dry, watch out for the candles." Fu Qinglian sat up from the bed and went out quietly.

The proprietress in the room was with the county guard, and there were a few people beside her.

The county guard sat in front of the desk and looked down at the account book: "Xiao Ling'er, why is there so little account flow recently?" ”

The proprietress knelt down suddenly: "My lord, forgive me, there are refugees outside this city, and you have restricted your entry and exit from the city, so there is really no business." ”

"Is that the official's fault?" The county warden looked up and said.

"The little ones don't dare." The proprietress immediately admitted her mistake.

"Don't let me see such a terrible ledger next time." The county keeper threw the ledger at the boss's wife.

"Yes, yes, not next time."

"What happened to the person from the capital?"

"I'm living in the store right now, are you going to get rid of him?" A hint of cruelty flashed in the proprietress eyes.

"Idiot, if you kill someone, doesn't it make it clear that I have a cat here in Dongcheng? You're going to push the official into the fire pit. ”

The group fell to their knees, not daring to speak.

"The official has his own way of dealing with this matter, so don't say more, when you need it, I will naturally tell you what to do." The county guard vanished into the night.

Fu Qinglian outside the window heard it clearly, and saw with his own eyes that the account book was in the hands of the proprietress, so he had an idea in his heart and quietly returned to his room.

A figure flashed outside the window, Fu Qinglian closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep. The visitor punctured the window paper and put smoke into it, and Fu Qinglian secretly held his breath.

After a while, people from outside walked in and began to search for the things that Fu Qinglian had brought.

"Master, no." The man in black said to the proprietress who walked in through the door.

The proprietress looked at Fu Qinglian on the bed, and was puzzled in her heart, could it really be that she was thinking too much, this person was really just passing through here.

"Withdraw." The proprietress took the people and left.

Fu Qinglian sat up, it seems that there are still a lot of things worth digging on this boss lady.

The next day, Fu Qinglian got up early and started strolling, walked to a dessert shop, and walked in.

"Guest, what do you want? I've got something here, and you're satisfied. The boss greeted warmly, and when he saw the person, his eyes changed instantly.

"I asked for something from the north, and they all said that only you have it here." Fu Qinglian said.

"I have things here, but in the backyard, and I ask the guest officer to come with me." The boss made a gesture.

Fu Qinglian walked in, and the boss followed closely and walked into a room.

As soon as the door closed, the boss knelt down: "See King Jing." ”

Fu Qinglian stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Get up." ”

"Why did the prince come by himself, his subordinates thought that you would send Lord Chen."

"He has other important things to do in Beijing."

"What's going on now?" Fu Qinglian asked.

"This county guard Li An has ordered the closure of the city today, and the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out. I guess I heard some kind of wind. ”

"Lockdown? This Ang Lee is really a fool, isn't this trying to cover up. Fu Qinglian smiled, I thought that this county guard would be a ruthless character, but I didn't expect that it would be so stupid, it was really in vain for the prime minister's cultivation.

"What the prince said is that this county guard saves and indulges in alcohol on weekdays, where does he know these things."

"There is something that needs to be done by subordinates.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the proprietress of the Dongcheng Inn, if there is any news, notify me immediately." Fu Qinglian commanded.

"Subordinates receive orders."

"The victims outside the city?" The subordinate asked.

Fu Qinglian didn't answer, and after a long time, he spoke: "In less than two days, this king will definitely return them the treatment they deserve." ”

"Boss, do you have time to have a drink?" Fu Qinglian ordered a table of good dishes.

The proprietress was stunned and smiled smartly. "Childe is polite, you are a guest, how can I let you invite me?" After a polite moment, he sat down.

"Eh, there is wine and food, on your side, how can you be without beautiful women." Fu Qinglian said with a smile.

The proprietress no longer shirked, reached out and poured a glass of wine, and saluted Fu Lian: "That little woman is disrespectful." ”

Fu Qinglian raised his glass and replied to the proprietress: "The proprietress must be very hard to take care of such a big inn by herself, why don't you find someone to help you?" ”

"My family runs darts all year round, so I'll take care of it alone." The hostess replied skillfully.

Fu Qinglian drank all the wine in the cup, this boss lady can follow Li An for so long, there must be some means, this account book, it is better to see how to get it first.

"It's not so easy to trick me." The proprietress poured another glass of wine and asked, "I don't know, is the work that the son is going to do on this trip finished?"

"Me? I'm just here to play. ”

"What's so fun in this East City, the fun is in the county guard's mansion." The proprietress continued.

"The proprietress is really good at laughing, I'm really here to have fun, and I visit a few old friends by the way."

"That son's trip is really not worth it, the city has been closed, I'm afraid the son will stay for a while." The proprietress poured wine for Fu Qinglian.

"What does the lady want to say to you?" Fu Qinglian knew that this boss lady had something to say.
