Li You waited for the white tiger in the wine shop, and after a short time, the white tiger returned. The two left Cross Street and returned to the inn.

Miao Cuilin and Xue Rengui had already returned, and when they saw Li You, Miao Cuilin reported to him about seeing Huang Laoba.

Miao Cuilin said depressedly: "Lord Wang, the grass people think that this matter has something to do with Huang Laoba, but Huang Laoba doesn't admit it, what should I do about this matter?" ”

Li You said: "There is no other way for the time being, let's stay here first." Chen Jun is missing, and those people will not give up until they find him. Therefore, they will definitely move, and we will spy on them. ”

Xue Rengui said: "Lord Wang, at the Sanlizhuang Wharf, the minister has already arranged manpower to secretly monitor, if it has anything to do with Huang Laoba, there will be movement there." ”

……

Luoyang Governor's Mansion.

After lunch, Sima Ma Wengui also had the habit of taking a nap, he had just gone to bed, and the person he sent to the Luokou toll booth came back, and the person who came said: "Lord Sima, I have seen the soldiers who pretended to be the thieves of His Royal Highness King Qi brought back." ”

When Ma Wengui heard this, his tiredness disappeared, he got dressed and asked, "Is the daughter of Huang Laoba in Sanlizhuang?" ”

"Well, after lunch, someone saw her go back." The subordinate said.

"Okay, you immediately bring the people and horses with me to identify her, and once you are sure that she is the female kidnapper, take it down immediately."

Chang'an City.

Wei Zheng received a letter from Li You from Yin Guanghao and first went to see Gao Jingming.

Gao Jingming, the old Xi'er of Shanxi, has been in charge of the household department for many years, and he has always lived a careful life. After reading Li You's letter, he was so distressed that he almost vomited blood. He said angrily: "These moths, they can really do it. On the river alone, most of the tax revenue of the household department has been lost, which really me off. ”

He immediately followed Wei Zheng to see Li Shimin.

Liangyi Palace, study.

After listening to Wei Zheng and Gao Jingming's reports, Li Shimin also felt the seriousness of the matter. He said: "Judging from what is happening now, the government in Luoyang has rotted to the roots. ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, this matter has already involved Xue Guogong and others, and it should be dealt with as soon as possible." ”

Li Shimin nodded and did not speak, he was thinking about how to properly handle the matter.

The eldest grandson Shunde is the uncle of the eldest grandson empress, and this matter is more troublesome to deal with. Not only that, the eldest grandson Shunde has 30,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he has been operating in Luoyang for many years, if he rebels, relying on Luoyang's strong financial and material resources, he can gather 100,000 troops in a short time. If this is the case, it will be very troublesome to quell the rebellion.

Li Shimin knew the eldest grandson Shunde and knew that this person had a strong personality and would never be restrained, so he must be prepared to deal with it.

He thought twice and said, "Don't make a noise about this beforehand, I'll let you know when I've thought about it." ”

Luoyang City, Sanlizhuang Wharf.

Xiu Gu returned to the courtyard of Caokou, and before she entered her room, she was called by Huang Laoba.

Xiu Gu had been shopping around the street all morning, and she had just finished eating, and she felt a little tired. She asked dissatisfiedly, "Daddy, what's the matter?" ”

Huang Laoba said worriedly: "In the past few days, there have been a lot of strangers near the dock, and I always feel unsure. I'm afraid these people are coming for you, I think you should leave Luoyang for the time being. ”

Xiugu said: "Daddy, I just came back from outside, why didn't I see any strangers." ”

Huang Laoba said: "You are still young and don't know the sinister nature of the rivers and lakes. Those people are secretly monitoring us here, you can't see it, but the veterans in our Caokou are very experienced. ”

Xiugu asked, "Then where do you want me to go?" ”

Huang Laoba said: "You can't go to your grandmother in the countryside. You can go anywhere else, just go to Chang'an. ”

Xiu Gu blinked her eyes, and suddenly thought that the businessman surnamed Li from Longzhou she met today had said that they were going south to Yangzhou, and it seemed very good if she went with them.

Thinking of this, she said, "Okay then. Wait for me to prepare, let Xiao Qi go with me. ”

Huang Laoba felt a little more relaxed when he saw that Xiugu was willing to leave Luoyang City. He said, "I'll ask the counter to pay you some money, and leave today." ”

Xiu Gu hadn't contacted Li You yet, she said, "Don't be in such a hurry, you can wait for me to prepare." ”

Huang Laoba said helplessly: "Okay then." Hurry up, you must leave Luoyang tomorrow at the latest. ”

After Xiu Gu left, Huang Laoba called Lu Xiaoqi and told him to take care of Xiu Gu on the road.

Suddenly, a nursing home ran in in a panic. He said: "Master Ba, no, there are a lot of officers and soldiers outside. ”

Huang Laoba was shocked in his heart, and said to Lu Xiaoqi: "You hurry up and hide Aunt Xiu." ”

With that, he walked outside. Lu Xiaoqi also hurriedly ran to Aunt Xiu's room in the back house.

Without waiting for Huang Laoba to walk out of the courtyard gate, a group of officers and soldiers and catchers rushed in with Ma Wengui.

Huang Laoba still knew Ma Wengui, the supreme official in charge of public security in Luoyang City, and he bowed and said: "The grass people have seen Master Ma, but I don't know what Lord Ma is here ......."

Ma Wengui said politely: "Huang Caokou, this official has received a report that your daughter Huang Xiugu is suspected of pretending to be His Royal Highness the King of Qi and kidnapping court officials. The official didn't believe it either, so he came to check it out. If it's not your daughter, that's for the best. ”

Ma Wengui was also not sure that the female kidnapper was Huang Xiugu, and he still didn't want to offend Huang Laoba, a powerful underworld boss.

Huang Laoba knew that people must have come prepared, and he knew that something was wrong, so he said stubbornly: "Master Ma, look at what you said, how could my daughter do such a thing?" ”

Ma Wengui said patiently: "The official didn't say that the kidnapper is your daughter, just let her come out to see her." ”

Huang Laoba said: "My daughter is out and not here. ”

When Ma Wengui saw Huang Laoba's attitude, he immediately had a grasp in his heart. He turned his face, narrowed his eyes and said, "Huang Laoba, this official gives you face, don't you give face to shame." Someone, search for me!"

"Yes!" The officers and soldiers shouted together. Immediately, it was about to rush in.

"Wait." With the shouting, a group of people emerged from near the courtyard, all dressed in civilian clothes, but holding bright steel knives in their hands.

The officers and soldiers were just about to stop them, but one of the leaders of the group held a waist card in his hand and said: "Those from the Qi Palace, they are ordered to do an errand!"
