"Xiaguan Cangxi County Commander Zhang Shanxiang has seen His Royal Highness King Shou, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

At the wharf of Cangxi County, an old man in a green official uniform was leading a group of officials in green and blue clothes to salute Li Ye and his party who had just come off the boat in an orderly manner.

The leader is an official on the seventh grade, and he is also the county magistrate of Cangxi County. He has been looking forward to the arrival of King Shou and his entourage for a long time. If it was before, although he would be respectful to the arrival of King Shou, he would not be so courteous, more because of etiquette.

But now it's different, not long ago, he got a letter sent back by his third daughter, who had been missing for a long time, and he learned that his third daughter was actually in Shouwang's Mansion and became Shouwang's woman, although it was just a woman, but this also made Zhang Shanxiang very happy.

In his early years, because of the idea of being promoted and making a fortune, he ruthlessly sent the third daughter to the palace. Thinking like him is not uncommon in this feudal period, Xiaoying and Xiaoyue were both sent to the palace like this.

But this kind of general idea is very beautiful, and the reality is very cruel. The dumping of the harem is more terrifying than the officialdom, and there are so many women from good families who are sent to the palace, but the ones who come out can be described as one in a hundred, most of them are lonely in the palace for a lifetime, and they will die of old age.

A few years earlier, the Huangchao rebels had invaded Chang'an, and the emperor had fled to Chengdu. Zhang Shanxiang learned from the mouth of the merchant that after Huangchao occupied Chang'an, Chang'an was starving everywhere, and countless men and women in the clan were killed, and the palace maids were either killed, or humiliated or occupied by the rebels, and many clan girls and women from noble backgrounds became concubines of rebel generals.

Since then, there has been no news from the third daughter, and Zhang Shanxiang has treated this daughter as dead. Except for the biological mother of the third daughter, who was sad for a while, he was not too sad, he had several concubines, eight children, and a daughter born to a concubine died in the war, and he was not too sad.

Who would have thought that after the year, he thought that the third daughter who died in the war was still alive, and he sent a letter. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that his third daughter has become the woman of King Shou, although she is not even the crown princess, but she is also the woman of King Shou, and she is deeply favored by King Shou.

It made him suddenly feel like he was running in time!

Who is Shouwang? His Majesty's younger brother is the prince of the dynasty, and he is also the envoy of Shannan West Province and the minister of Xingyuanmu. As soon as King Shou became his son-in-law, wouldn't he be considered to have survived? After so many years in the position of prefectural magistrate, he finally waited for the opportunity to change positions, so after he got and confirmed the news, he happily couldn't sleep for several days.

However, he was a little worried, that is, the mother of his third daughter, after learning the news that his third daughter 'died in the war', was depressed, and coupled with the difficulty of his wife, he died the year before last, leaving only a young son who was still a minor.

In this family, he has always been very afraid of his wife, who let the other party be the sister of Lang Governor Shi, although he is the county commander of Zhengqipin, but Lang Governor Shi is one of the three adjutants of the state from Wupin.

Moreover, his wife's family is a big local family in Langzhou, and its influence covers Langzhou, Pengzhou, and Guozhou, which is not something he can offend. He can become this county magistrate because of the relationship between his wife and his mother's family, otherwise even if he works hard for decades, he may not be able to get mixed with this county magistrate.

"Zhang County's order and all of you are invited, this king is just passing by Cangxi, you don't have to be so grand." Li Ye said in a flat tone, he has long been accustomed to this kind of scene.

"Your Highness." Zhang Shanxiang hurriedly straightened up, his eyes quickly scanned over the people behind King Shou, and saw that his daughter was also among them, and the smile on his face was even brighter, "The whole of Cangxi County was very excited to learn that His Royal Highness was here, Cangxi County is a small place, but the lower officials and the squires in the county specially set up a banquet in the city to wash the dust for His Royal Highness." ”

"Zhang County's order has a heart." Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, although Li Ye felt that this was inappropriate, he didn't get mad on the spot, no matter what, this is also Xiaoyue's father.

A quarter of an hour later, the county government of Cangxi County.

"Father, my daughter is not filial, and now I have come back to visit my father."

In the lobby, Xiao Yue bowed to her father, her red eyes glowing with faint tears.

"Yue'er, it's good to come back, it's good to come back. Since Yue'er you entered the palace, there has been no news of you, before the fall of Chang'an, my father thought that he was killed in the army, but I didn't expect you to have the help of nobles. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shanxiang came to Li Ye and bowed tremblingly, and said gratefully, "Thank you Your Highness for saving the little girl, so that the lower officials can see the little girl again in their lifetime." ”

"Zhang County's order is serious, Yue'er is the woman of this king, this is all taken for granted." Li Ye hurriedly helped the other party up, seeing that the other party looked sincere, he couldn't help but be a little moved, but he didn't understand why the other party would send his daughter into the palace ruthlessly.

For ordinary women, the palace is no different from the devil's cave, and many people may die in the palace without even seeing the emperor's face.

"Your Highness's grace, your majesty is unforgettable." Zhang Shanxiang, who was helped up by Li Ye, had tears on his face, and his expression was also a little excited.

"Father, where is my mother?" Satsuki's confused voice sounded from the side.

Because Li Ye was supporting Zhang Shanxiang, when Xiao Yue asked about his mother, he clearly felt that the other party's hand moved a little unnaturally, although it was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it, so he let go of his hands and came to Xiao Yue's side to stand.

The place where Li Ye and his party stayed had already been prepared, and it was in the largest mansion in the city. Originally, Cangxi County had prepared a place for Li Ye, and it was in this county, but Li Ye did not agree, but chose to be in the store.

Cangxi County is not a big county, with a population of about 3,000 households and a population of more than 10,000 people, but the geographical location is very good, because it is on the side of the Jialing River, the water transportation is convenient, and the business is okay. Because there are many merchants from the south to the north, there are four mansions in Cangxi County, but now they are all contracted by Li Ye and his entourage to settle these people who accompany them.

But even so, it still couldn't fit Li Ye and his party, and they rented a few local squire's farms from outside Cangxi County before they settled down.

Because Li Ye wanted to accompany Xiaoyue to reunite with her parents, Liu Chenyan and her daughters did not accompany her, but played around Cangxi County.

Zhang Shanxiang's face was slightly unnatural, and at the same time, Li Ye also noticed that the look on the face of the county magistrate's wife was also a little weird, and the younger generation of the Zhang family was the same, with their heads down, as if they were very weak-hearted.

Xiao Yue also noticed her father's strange appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

"Hey!" Zhang Shanxiang sighed and said sadly, "Yue'er, a few years ago, everyone thought that you died in the war, and your mother was also sick with grief because of this, and she had already gone the year before last. ”

"What? Mother kisses her... This news was like a burst of thunder, Xiao Yue's face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled, Li Ye hurriedly helped the other party, turned to break free from Li Ye, came to his father, grabbed his father's sleeve and asked, "Father, you told me that this is not true, why did my mother leave suddenly." ”

"Satsuki, everyone doesn't want to. You also know your mother's love for you, you have not heard from you before, and you don't know who broke the news that you died in the war, your mother has been depressed when she heard it, and finally she became ill and went. If you had sent a letter back earlier, I am afraid it would not have been like this. On the side, Mrs. Zhang's wife Chen covered her face and explained.

"Why? Why is this happening? What about Xiaolin? Where is Xiaolin now? Xiao Yue hurriedly asked.

"Xiaolin went to your grandfather's house, and my father has sent someone to bring Xiaolin back." Zhang Shanxiang said, but his expression was a little unnatural.

Li Ye sent someone to inform Cangxi County two days ago that as the heir of the Zhang family, Xiaoyue's younger brother was not at home, which naturally made people feel very strange. However, the sad Xiaoyue didn't feel that there was anything wrong, it was estimated that the death of her mother had caused a big blow to her, or maybe it was because Xiaoyue, who was not deeply involved in the world, was still a little worse in her ability to observe words and feelings, so she didn't see the strangeness of her Zhang couple.

Xiao Yue didn't see it, it doesn't mean that Li Ye didn't see it.

Since Xiaoyue has only returned home once in so many years, Li Ye did not disturb his reunion with his family, so he left a few maids and more than ten relatives to take care of him, and he went back to the mansion first, and then went to the banquet after taking a bath.

After leaving the county office, Li Ye instructed Li Yingxu on the side, "Li joins the army, you go and find out what happened to Xiaoyue's family in the years after she entered the palace, and receive some money from Xiaoying later, as long as you can find out the matter clearly, you don't have to worry about money." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Li Yingxu was also by Li Ye's side just now, and naturally saw something wrong in Zhang Mei's house, he was not unfamiliar with the dirty things in these families, and it was not difficult to guess that there must be a hidden secret, "Your Highness, you don't need to receive the money, I believe that the lower officials are in the name of Your Highness, as long as they show curiosity about this matter, someone will definitely take the initiative to inform them." ”

"You still have to get the money, and you can't break the rules. As for how to find out the matter, that's your business, and this king only needs one result. Li Ye said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Yingxu nodded, and then took the order.

Looking at the county government behind him, Li Ye suddenly realized that he thought of everyone too well? I thought that Xiao Yue's father was okay, but from the contact just now, it seems that my previous feelings were wrong, and it seems that he is too tender and underestimates the world.

"I hope you didn't do anything that disgusted this king, otherwise you won't blame this king for not giving him a chance." Li Ye muttered, then got into the carriage and headed towards the mansion.
