The banquet of the prefect's yamen was over, and the guests went out one after another, at this time Zhang Lian was ready to go back to the backyard of the prefect's yamen to rest, but before resting, he wanted to ask about the situation of the Qincha.

“…… Lord Prefect, the big thing is not good, and the Qin is poor...... Lord Chincha ...... He's lost! ”

Zhang Lian's heart tightened, and when he reacted, he realized the problem and was furious: "Bastard, in my prefect's yamen, how can Qin Cha say that he will lose it?" ”

"Didn't you ask someone to send him back to his room to rest?"

The two servants who had sent him back to his room were brought to Zhang Lian with a look of horror on their faces, because they themselves couldn't figure out how the Qincha had suddenly disappeared.

"Big ...... Adult, villain...... Fu Qin sent back to the room, Qin said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and the villain went to find a night pot for Qin Cha, and the villain didn't know anything about the rest. ”

"Back to the adult, the villain didn't go to find the night pot, but ...... But the Lord Qincha said that he wanted to be relieved, and the villain took him to the thatched house in the side yard, and as he walked, the person was lost! ”

What is the reason for this?

Qin Cha wants to go to the toilet, just take him there, which door is the night pot to find? One is looking for a night pot, and the other doesn't even know how to lose it, and people can still lose it while walking?

"Tell me clearly, how did the hell the Qin Cha disappear?" Zhang Lian was full of gloom and asked.

The servant who accompanied Qin to the side courtyard had knelt on the ground and cried: "When I went to the lotus pond in the middle courtyard, Qin said that something had fallen and asked the villain to help pick it up...... Save people, but I didn't see it for a long time, the villain was afraid that people would drown, so he quickly called someone for help, but he didn't find it for a long time......"

The story is getting more and more bizarre.

Zhang Lian was stunned for a moment, feeling that this matter was a touch of weirdness.

At this time, the horse-faced master came over and said, "Lord Prefect, this situation is not right, isn't it that Qin Cha noticed it and deliberately separated people?" ”

Zhang Lian said angrily: "The huge prefect's yamen is full of people, and he can leave if he says so?" At this time, most of them are still in the yamen, send someone to look for them! ”

In a word, the people of the entire prefect's yamen took action, and it was only a watch, and after searching for nearly half an hour, they still didn't find anyone.

Master Ma Yan replied: "My lord, the people at the door everywhere have asked, but I haven't seen Qin Cha come in and out, I don't see anyone dead or corpse in this life, if I fall into which ancient well...... My lord, I think it's better to go to the official post and ask. ”

Zhang Lian realized the seriousness of the problem, and the disappearance of the Qin Cha in the Quanzhou Mansion, anyone would think that he must have secretly harmed the Qin Cha.

Zhang Lian hurriedly took a sedan chair to the post house where Qin Cha stayed, and when he arrived at the door, he saw that the door of the post house had been closed, and called the door for a long time, Zhang Lian entered inside, and he was relieved when he inquired, but the question followed.

Chin came back more than half an hour ago!?

How did the people come back?

"The Qin is on the top, but the lower officials have been looking for you for a while, when did you return to the official post?" When Zhang Lian went to the guest room to see Shen Xi, Shen Xi was obviously awakened from his sleep, sleepy-eyed, and kept yawning and looking at Zhang Lian.

Shen Xi shook his head vigorously, got up and sat down at the table, looked up at Zhang Lian slightly, and said, "Is it Governor Zhang?" I've had a few more drinks before, and my mind isn't very bright...... Hey, where is this? ”

Mi Lu, who was waiting on the side, smiled and said, "My lord, you are returning to the post station." ”

"Inn?"

Shen Xi reacted, "No, didn't I have a banquet at the prefect's yamen, when will I come back?" ”

Mi Lu hurriedly explained: "The adults have been back for a while, and someone helped you come back, and before the little one could ask about the situation, those people left." How do adults get around some unprovoked people? ”

Shen Xi tried to think about it, his face was still blank, and he shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I don't remember at all." Governor Zhang, didn't you send someone to send me back? ”

When Zhang Lian saw Shen Xi, he thought that Shen Xi must be pretending to be a ghost, but when he heard that other people were involved, his heart sank, and things might have been out of control. Zhang Lian remained silent, and said with a smile: "It was the lower official who sent someone to send you back, and the lower official specially explained that he should not disturb the rest of the Qin cha, so the subordinate went back to the mansion by himself." After the banquet was over, the lower officials were not at ease, so they came to have a look. ”

Shen Xi's face showed a look of relief: "I see, Governor Zhang has a heart." It's not early, Governor Zhang's mansion should go back and rest early, I'm too strong to drink...... My head hurts, it's time to sleep. ”

Zhang Lian saluted and said goodbye, Shen Xi yawned for a long time, and did not go to the door to see him off.

Zhang Lian came out of the post house, immediately called left and right, and said coldly: "Hurry up and send someone to investigate, who dares to go to my prefect's yamen to make trouble!" ”

……

……

The words are divided into two ends, Shen Xi sent Zhang Lian away here, and he still has to act in front of Mi Lu.

The play has to play a full set, although Mi Lu and Song Laoyue came to Quanzhou with him, but these two are the officials of Honglu Temple, and they are the most forgetful of profit, Zhang Lian only needs to make enough silver, what can't he set up?

"I'm going to sleep, you go out." Shen Xi looked tired and waved his hand.

Mi Lu put down the tea, respectfully exited the door, and when the door closed, Shen Xi's previous listless appearance suddenly disappeared, and he was full of energy when he stood up.

A figure came out from behind the curtain, dressed in black, with a slender figure, but it was a woman.

Shen Xi said: "Fortunately, I have Yu Niang's help, otherwise I might really fall into the Pansi Cave and not be able to get out." ”

The person who came was wearing a night dress, and the charm still existed, it was the jade lady who followed Shen Xi south. Yu Niang said with a smile: "It's Lord Shen who is alert enough, the slave family just followed your wishes and helped you back to the post house, and even the slave family didn't know how Lord Shen could get out of the well-guarded prefect's yamen." ”

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Where you go in, you will come out from, what's the difficulty?" ”

Yu Niang thought about it, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, the most guarded place is often the most lax, Shen Xi is above board and came out of the main gate of the prefect's yamen.

Shen Xi first deliberately made the appearance of falling into the water, and asked the servant who sent him back to hurriedly call his companions to "save people", in fact, he was playing a time difference, at this time, it was the time when the mansion banquet was over, and when Zhang Lian did not know that Shen Xi was missing, the defense at the main gate was actually quite loose.

There are so many guests, many of them are famous people, there are many young people, and it is night, it is impossible for the officials guarding the door to verify the identities of the guests one by one.

When the servant reported the news of Shen Xi's disappearance, Zhang Lian naturally thought that Shen Xi had disappeared after the guests left, and would not suspect anything else.

Yu Niang saluted and said: "Lord Shen is thoughtful, and the slave family admires it." ”

Shen Xi said: "When Governor Zhang learned that I was helped back, his face was nervous, if he only hid it from me because of the matter of the Buddha Machine, but the Buddha Robot is not in the city, let alone report anything to me, he would never be so panicked." Can I believe that the tension of Governor Zhang's mansion is related to the purpose of Yu Niang's coming to Quanzhou? ”

Yu Niang didn't expect Shen Xi to change from Zhang Lian's small expression, think about the problem so far, and smiled bitterly at the moment: "Lord Shen forgives sin, there are some things...... The slave family is inconvenient to say for the time being. ”

Shen Xi nodded, Yu Niang just acted according to orders, no matter who sent her to do something, she didn't dare to make it public, this involved court secrets.

However, Shen Xi expected that since Yu Niang came with him, he would inevitably be used in the end, but I don't know who else in the court would come over besides Yu Niang?

With Yu Niang's powerless and powerless female generation, even if Zhang Lian's incriminating evidence is found, there is nothing she can do, and even Shen Xi, who has not won the royal flag, is not qualified.

Maybe Yu Niang just came to investigate, and the case will be dealt with later...... But it's not right to think about it, from the capital to Quanzhou, the mountains and rivers are far away, and Yu Niang has to walk for a few months back and forth, and when the court knows about it, the daylilies are cold.

Could it be that a big man will come later?

In the past, most of the imperial errands in such long-distance places were handled by Liu Daxia, but now that Liu Daxia has become the head of the household department, it is impossible to leave Beijing, Shen Xi thought for a long time, and he didn't expect who this "big man" would be.

However, this is not a problem that Shen Xi needs to consider at the moment, his task is to contact the Buddha Machine, as long as the tribute is returned, the errand will be completed, and he doesn't want to ask for trouble.

……

……

Early in the morning of the second day, when Shen Xi was still washing, Wu Gang, the governor of Quanzhou Prefecture, came with some secretaries and officials of the government, saying that he wanted to take Shen Xi to meet the envoys of the Buddha and the machine.

Shen Xi held a towel to wipe his face in his hand and looked at Wu Gang with a puzzled face: "Buddha Ji Man entered the city so quickly?" ”

Wu Gang said with a smile: "Exactly, yesterday Governor Zhang sent someone to deliver a letter to the Buddha people outside the city, and as soon as the city gate was opened this morning, they sent envoys into the city, and at the same time brought tribute to the imperial court." Come on, bring up the tribute of the Buddha machine people, and list it with the Qincha! ”

While he was talking, a group of officials came in from outside, carrying large and small boxes.

When he opened the box, it was full of exotic items, but no matter how Shen Xi looked at it, it looked like something that the Buddha had snatched from Southeast Asian countries, as well as those looted from the South Indian generation.

To say that the only thing that has anything to do with the Buddha is some silver coins of relatively average quality, which should be originally used by the Buddha to trade with Asians.

It is estimated that after arriving in Asia, they realized that almost all the people they encountered along the way, whether they were islands or land, were native, and guns were better than silver coins.

"Okay, let the envoy clean up briefly, and then accompany Wu Tongzhi to meet the envoy."

Wu Gang made a gesture of invitation: "The Qin mission is convenient, and the lower officials are waiting outside." ”

Shen Xi saw that Zhang Lian's honey-bellied sword could basically determine that he was not standing upright.

What kind of chief officer, what kind of subordinate official, this Wu Gang is a Jinshi in Hongzhi for three years, working under Zhang Lian, it is very difficult to be honest and self-controlled, and the result of not being in the same stream as the boss is to be suppressed, demoted, and have no way to get a career.

So he couldn't trust any official in Quanzhou.

Shen Xi put on his official uniform, took the emperor's seal handed over to him by Xie Qian, and walked out of the post house with Wu Gang, and before he could take a few steps, Liu Jin trotted all the way out.

"Shen Zhongyun, where are you going?"

Liu Jin shouted loudly as he ran, "You are so bold, you don't call our family when you see the envoy, you are trying to trap our family in disloyalty and injustice." ”

Liu Jin caught up, panting.

Wu Gang looked at Liu Jin, who even dared to shout, and said in surprise: "Who is this?" ”

Liu Jin glared at Wu Gang angrily: "I don't even know our family, but our family is the deputy envoy of His Majesty's order, and he neglected our family and cut off your head." ”

One sentence made Wu Gangzhi frown.

Liu Jin intimidated him when he came up, he was no longer worth it, he was also born as a jinshi, and he had been in the officialdom for some years.

An old eunuch with no power or power, and not an internal official such as the celebrant and the commander, the palm print, the bingbi, and the court, and even the Dongchang had no chance to get involved, so in Wu Gang's eyes, there was no threat, and he snorted coldly disdainfully, and turned his head away, but he didn't see it.
