Chapter 117: Exploring the County Office
After leaving the inn, the eldest grandson Changqing first took innocence and shadow to a larger ready-to-wear shop in the city and bought a few outfits. When they left the ready-to-wear shop, a brocade dress turned into a simple coarse linen robe.
"Can't you pick out some nice clothes for me?"
Innocent's brows are furrowed, and his whole face is full of disgust!
"Isn't that good? Buy it yourself! I don't have any money! ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, glanced at innocence, not very much wanting to deal with him.
"You don't have any money? Don't think I don't know, before you go out, the master stuffed you with a wad of silver tickets! Also, wasn't the money to buy clothes from the shadows? Since you are here to make a mistake, can the emperor of Beichen still lose your money? ”
Innocent was dissatisfied, and shouted at the eldest grandson Changqing in a low voice.
"You also know that the silver ticket was given to me by your master? Since it's for me, it's mine, how to spend it, it's also up to me to decide, you want to go to him, you see if he gives it to you! Besides, since I'm here to do things for Bei Aofeng, he let the Shadow take care of my food and clothing, no problem at all! Shadow is willing to pay the bill with your clothes, it's his benevolence, why don't you dislike it? ”
The eldest grandson Changqing has witty words, and the innocence of his words is speechless! Innocent hangs his head, he can only admit it! In this world, the person who can win a quarrel with Sun Changqing has not been born yet!
The shadow on the side, listening to the two of them arguing, the corners of their foreheads jumped suddenly, is this sure that they are here to make a difference? Besides, this white girl is really bold, she dares to call the emperor by his name, doesn't she know how to hide it at all?
"Let's go, big brother!"
The eldest grandson Changqing patted the shadow on the back in a very good mood, and the shadow didn't notice it for a while, but she slapped it squarely! He was secretly shocked that she could photograph him so easily? Others don't know the depth of the Shadow's skill, but how can the Shadow not know it? He has been the head of Bei Aofeng's secret guard for so many years, and in the entire Beichen Kingdom, I am afraid that no one can get close to him except Bei Aofeng! Therefore, this time he was sent by Bei Aofeng to protect Chang Sun Changqing, he was actually very resistant in his heart, he was the head of the secret guard of the emperor of Beichen Kingdom, and he couldn't find a second person who could compare with his skills when he overlooked the entire Beichen Kingdom, such a master was actually sent to protect a little woman, how could he be willing?
"Big brother, what are you doing in a daze? Let's get down to business! ”
Innocent quickly tidied up his clothes, flew out, and quickly followed the eldest grandson Changqing.
Although the shadow had doubts in his heart, he also knew that it was important to do business at this time, and he had not forgotten that the mission of his trip was to assist Changsun Changqing in quelling the civil strife in Liangzhou.
"Shadow, you first go and check the source of the rumors about the "Human Phoenix", where did it first come from. ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, looked solemn and said solemnly towards the shadow.
"Innocent, you go with me to explore the city and county of Liangzhou."
After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, he took the first step and flew away. Seeing this, Innocent nodded at the Shadow, and then chased after him.
"Eldest grandson girl, why do you want to visit the Liangzhou County Ya?"
Innocent then caught up and whispered curiously.
"Liangzhou City has been in turmoil for many days, why has the county government not moved much so far? Let the stunned General Qinggao send troops to suppress it? Have you ever wondered why? ”
Although innocent doesn't look very smart on weekdays, he is curious and likes to ask a few more questions. The eldest grandson, Changqing, was also happy to reply to him, at least he looked much more interesting than the wood that could only carry out orders without a trace!
"Yes! Why? ”
Innocent tilted his head, looking thoughtful!
"Idiot! Of course there is a problem! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing rolled his eyes at him, and his intuition was that if he continued to talk to him, he would lower his own intelligence. She was too lazy to talk nonsense, stretched out her hand and dragged Innocence, jumped into the backyard of the county office, and found a secluded place where no one was around, and the cat was hidden.
"Now that the city of Liangzhou has become like that, it is said that this Liangzhou County Ya should be busy and anxious, how can this county Ya be so calm? It's weird! ”
The innocent cat was behind the eldest grandson Changqing, whispering strangely.
"What's even more strange is that the gate of this county government is closed, and it doesn't look like there is official business to deal with at all!"
The eldest grandson Changqing frowned, this is too abnormal!
"Shhhhh
The eldest grandson, Changqing, pulled Wuxian and lowered his body, lest he be exposed. The two of them even breathed lightly, staring nervously at the entrance of the backyard.
"Master, now that there is chaos in the city, we close the yamen, I am afraid that it will attract unwarranted speculation from others! The subordinates heard that General Gao's deputy envoy had returned to Beijing to report to the emperor! ”
A deep male voice sounded, with a slight sadness in his voice.
"Let him go! A small deputy envoy, can he turn the sky upside down? ”
A slightly arrogant male voice said disdainfully.
"Old man......"
"Shut up! Are you a lord or am I a lord? Steward Chen, this official advises you to get acquainted with each other, you are the housekeeper of my Chen Mansion, not a casual outsider, which is more important, this official believes that you can weigh it clearly! ”
"Open the door for the officer!"
"Yes, sir!"
Then there was the sound of Suosuo's key tapping against the brass lock. Then there was a "squeak", and the door of the room opposite where the eldest grandson and Changqing were hiding was opened!
"Steward Chen! Do you see, what are these? ”
It's still the same arrogant voice.
"Old ...... Master! Gold...... Gold? How to ...... backyard How could so much gold be hidden? ”
Visibly trembling in a voice, it was hard to hide the horror.
"Humph! Now that you've seen them, we're grasshoppers on a rope! If you obediently work for the official, the official will ensure that your whole family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! If you ...... Hmph, if you don't know each other, you, and your whole family's lives, are held in the palms of those people's hands! When the time comes, don't blame the official for not reading the love for many years! ”
"Yes...... It's the master! Small, small don't dare! ”
"Oh, go buy some good clothes for your mother-in-law! Look at your shabby looks! ”
A yellow ingot of gold fell into the hands of Steward Chen. He took the gold with trembling hands, his face was full of horror, and there was no joy in it, he knew that he was afraid that he would really be dragged into hell this time!
After the two closed the door and left, the eldest grandson Changqing pulled Wuxian to stand up.
"There's really something wrong with this Chen County Order!"
The eldest grandson, Changqing, stared at the direction they were leaving, his eyes deep.
"Eldest grandson girl, shall we pick the lock and go in and have a look?"
Innocence stared at the lock, thoughtful.
"No, you can't rush it now, lest it disturb them! Let's go back and see how the Shadows are doing! ”
The eldest grandson, Changqing, frowned and stared at the door for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of breaking in. Now she still doesn't know whether the gold of this Chen County Order is the scavenged people's fat and people's ointment, or obtained by other means, so it is not appropriate to startle the snake now!
"It's good!"
Innocent nodded in response.
The two of them flew out of the backyard of the county government, as if they didn't notice it at all, and after they left, a person slowly walked out of the dark in the backyard of the county government.
"Eldest grandson? Oh, interesting! I knew you weren't that easy to die! ”
The corners of the man's mouth rose slightly, and he sneered like nothing.
When the eldest grandson, Changqing and Wuxie, returned to the inn, the shadow had not yet returned. The eldest grandson Changqing is not worried about him, her skills in secretly probing the shadow are as good as those of Innocent and Traceless, and ordinary people are afraid that it will be difficult to hurt him.
In the evening, the Shadow returned unscathed, but it was ...... What's the matter with his rich smell of fat powder?
"Big brother, what do you smell like here? Did you go to the kiln? ”
Innocent raised his hand and fanned his nose, his face full of disgust.
The iceberg face of the shadow that has not changed for thousands of years has finally changed.
"Yes......"
"What? Did you really go to the kiln? Tut-tut, I didn't see it, big brother! So hello! ”
Innocent said in amazement, he didn't expect that the 10,000-year-old iceberg of the Shadow would actually go to the kiln!
"Not ......"
The shadow was speechless, and tilted his head in embarrassment, glancing at the eldest grandson Changqing for help.
The eldest grandson Changqing was watching the play with great interest, and when he looked at the little eyes that were complained by the shadow, a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
"Ahem, innocent, don't make trouble! Let the Shadows finish! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing coughed falsely, cleared his throat, and then returned to his normal color, looking like he was doing business.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Changqing had spoken, the knowledgeable no longer made a fuss, and stood aside obediently, pouting his mouth, and spreading his hands: "You say!" ”
Seeing this, the shadow regained his expression and slowly explained the situation of today's investigation.
"Today, I am ordered by the White Girl to investigate the source of the news of the 'Human Phoenix'. I visited the shops in Liangzhou City, and the strange thing is that everyone knows nothing about it, but one day half a month ago in the city, there was a sudden appearance of the 'human phoenix', and in less than a day, it quickly spread all over the streets and alleys, that is, even Huangkou children know that 'the human phoenix appears, the world changes greatly'! It made people panic in Liangzhou City. ”
The shadow didn't know the true identity of the eldest grandson Changqing, and only thought she was "Bai Duhuan".
"Then where did you find out where this came from?"
The eldest grandson Changqing's eyes sank, and he asked in a solemn voice.
Later, I heard this near a beggar's den in the city, and I tentatively went up to inquire, and the beggar told me that he was in the back alley of a green building in the city, and heard someone sing this sentence! Under his guidance, I found the green building called 'Cuichun Garden'. The old bustard in the green building saw that I was dressed rudely, and he didn't want to talk to me. Afterward...... Ahem, later I arrested a prostitute in the Qinglou and used some means to extract a confession, and she said that sentence...... That phrase was sung from the mouth of a girl named 'Wuyan' in their garden! But the exact source of the rumors in this city has yet to be verified! The subordinates are incompetent, and please punish the white girl! ”
The shadow was full of guilt, and he hugged his fists, and he looked like he was pleading.
"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself! If it was really so easy for you to find out, then General Gao would not have forcibly suppressed it for so long, and it has never seen actual results! ”
The eldest grandson Changqing waved his hand, not caring much, she never liked to punish others at every turn.
