Chapter 44: Almost Discovered

Ochre Sizheng is a smart person, and the investigation of the court is naturally extremely hidden, but Lin Chen'an is not stupid, and some movements were finally discovered.

"Your Majesty, someone has been probing the court officials in recent days, and his subordinates have sent someone to investigate, and they are suspected to be the princess of the previous dynasty." It was Ah Qi who replied to this matter.

"She? A woman still wants to govern the country? Lin Chen'an was a little disdainful, but thinking of the magical queen mother in the harem, he decided to pay more attention. Keep tracking down and find out where she's hiding. ”

"Yes!" When Ah Qi was about to retreat, Lin Chen'an spoke again.

"Since it is to probe the officials of the court, there must be an idea of wooing, pay more attention to whether those important members of the humerus have been in contact with people who should not be contacted." When Lin Chen'an said this, the brush in his hand did not pause at all, and after approving a fold, he took the next one, and coincidentally, the prime minister happened to be mentioned on this fold, so he remembered one thing again: "The missing child of the Guo family has not been found yet?" ”

"Only the farmer who adopted the child was found, but the couple has passed away, and the whereabouts of the child are unknown."

"The Guo family didn't look for it?" Lin Chen'an was a little puzzled, a good child, don't you want it?

"Recently, there has been no movement in the Guo family, as if they don't know anything." Hearing this, Lin Chen'an sneered, scolded the old fox, and then ordered: "If you want to win over, the Guo family is most likely to stare me to death!" ”

After Ah Qi took the order to retreat, the shadow flashed in, still dressed in black, and still the mask that made people worry.

"Your Majesty, there's news for that one!" This is naturally Qiao Yanran.

"Say!" Lin Chen'an paused for a moment, and then continued to write, as if it had no great impact.

"All the way to the west, I'm afraid I'm going to leave Daqi." In fact, what the shadow wants to say is not this, but in front of Lin Chen'an, don't make smart speculations.

"Leave?" Sure enough, Lin Chen'an sneered, "Since she was willing to endure humiliation and enter the palace at the beginning, this Daqi sky will not move, she will not leave!" ”

The shadow didn't answer!

"You personally stare at the Qiao family, and let Luo Ci go in advance." I don't understand what I said, it's obviously the strongest opponent, why should I let it go?

It is estimated that this doubt is too obvious, Lin Chen'an actually answered with some kindness: "She is strong, but she is not interested in the affairs of the court, even if she wants to rebel in the future, it will never be her who does it!" ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

In fact, the Qiao family has always been closely monitored by Lin Chenan's people, but for the shadow, that kind of monitoring seems to be pediatrics. That night, he personally checked around, and really found that something was wrong, the Qiao family obviously only had two ancestors and grandchildren and two servants, but some places were too clean, especially ......

The shadow looked at the tall building, he knew that it was the mourning hall, but he always smelled another smell, although it was very faint, he still looked around, the whole courtyard was silent and empty, but that fragrance was by no means an illusion, this was the experience he had exchanged for his life.

In the moonlight, the shadow reached out and tried to push a room open, when a breeze suddenly swept behind him, and he turned back vigilantly, only to find that there was calm around him. The shadow held back his footsteps and slowly walked into the middle of the courtyard, the surroundings still quiet. Suddenly, the shadow drew his sword and stood squarely behind him.

"Bell"!

There was a sound of metal colliding, and sure enough, there were people!

As soon as the shadow turned his backhand, he was entangled with the person who came, that person's kung fu was not high, and the moves were not like those used by the people in the rivers and lakes, but like the moves of the soldiers on the battlefield, after one move, the two separated.

"Who are you? Why break into my Qiao's house! ”

Is it a teenager? The shadow was a little surprised, and then thought that this should be Qiao Yuzhi, the martial arts family, all generations have been on the battlefield, no wonder he has such a move, the shadow is not too entangled, he took advantage of Qiao Yuzhi's inattention, jumped directly on the roof and left.

In the courtyard, Qiao Yuzhi didn't seem to expect the visitor to leave so quickly, and when he jumped on the roof, the shadow had already run away, and there was no possibility of catching up.

"Princess!"

After returning to the courtyard, Qiao Yuzhi found that Qingjube was already standing in the courtyard, and he didn't know when he would come out.

Qing Zao also looked at the direction where the shadow left, it was really risky tonight, this person was able to bypass his secret guard, it seems that he has some real skills, don't think about it, it must be Lin Chen'an's person. If you hadn't held your breath in time, you would have been discovered.

At this time, Qin Bai also arrived, he first made sure that Qingjube was fine, and then he was very curious: "Yuzhi, why are you here." ”

Qiao Yuzhi smiled: "I made some mistakes in answering the question today, and my grandfather punished me to clean the whole building, and I haven't finished it yet." ”

Qin Bai looked at the building not far behind him, he knew that there was the spiritual seat of Qiao Yuzhi's parents there, but he was still very curious: "Why doesn't the spiritual position enter the ancestral hall?" ”

"Grandpa said, the Qiao family has guarded Beiyan for generations, but it was lost at this time, and he was really speechless in the face of the ancestors and ancestors, Beiyan will not return for a day, and whoever dies will not be able to enter the Qiao family ancestral hall." Qiao Yuzhi heard these words since he was a child, and he didn't use any special tone, but everyone present was moved.

"Pack up your things and leave Qiao's house immediately!" Qing Zao didn't know what he thought of, so he gave the order directly, and it was under this order that five or six people suddenly appeared around and began to clean up, and they didn't know where they were hiding. Qiao Yuzhi suggested that they avoid the secret passage, but Qing Zao refused: "That person is just frightened for a while, he will definitely return, he must leave immediately, otherwise he will not be able to leave!" ”

Luo Ci has a good habit, no matter where he goes, he doesn't have many things with him, and he can always go without leaving any valuable clues. At this point, Qingzao learned very well, there are not many valuable things, and the secret guards quickly sorted it out, and in the night, a group of people quickly left.

On the other side, the shadow didn't go far after leaving, he always felt that something was wrong, looked at his right hand, and he suddenly remembered that there was no trace of dust in the door just now, Qiao's house was not very big, but it was really not small, and now there was no one who could clean it so cleanly. Thinking of this, Shadow immediately took out a small signal flare from his bosom and hurried to Qiao's house himself.

When he came to Qiao's house, the shadow didn't go out at all, and directly pushed open the door of the room just now, but he didn't expect that Qiao Yuzhi was actually inside, and it seemed that he was preparing to sleep in wide clothes.

"Idiot! Let you star, it's good that you actually alarmed the Qiao family! Lin Chen'an has a headache, he never knew that the shadow's ability to do things is so poor, this is the person he cultivated single-handedly!

"Your Majesty, there is definitely something wrong with the Qiao family!" The shadow pleaded up.

"Do you still need to say it? No problem, I'll let you stare at it? Lin Chen'an swept his sleeves, and everything on the table was overturned to the ground: "Idiot! ”

The shadow knelt on the ground, his back was still straight, and there was a little unwillingness in his eyes, but he didn't say anything after all, this matter was indeed his fault.

"The frightened birds, I don't think they will come back, but I can't guarantee that the most dangerous place is the safest, or let people keep an eye on it." Lin Chen'an is very helpless, this person, you can't kill it! He rubbed the corners of his forehead: "If you don't do well, you will be punished with twenty lashes!" Step aside! ”

The shadow clenched his fist and stepped back.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to share lunch!" Just when Lin Chen'an had a headache, Father-in-law Zou reported outside the door, in fact, it was still early at this time, but the Queen Mother asked people to call, I'm afraid there was something, thinking about it, Lin Chen'an had a headache even more.

"You come in and talk back!" Lin Chenan suddenly thought of one thing, which was quite important, and after Father-in-law Zou came in, he asked directly: "Zhang Quanmiao of the household department has been patrolling Jiangnan for a while, why is there no news yet?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Zhang has already sent a message back, and he just arrived last night, and he hasn't had time to report to you yet." Father-in-law Zou seemed to be afraid that Lin Chen'an would be angry, and explained: "The matter in Jiangnan is quite complicated, Lord Zhang sent a small official back to report, and without the king's order, he can't enter the palace at will." ”

"Go get someone now!" It is worthy of Lin Chen'an, he knows too well what the Queen Mother is thinking, but this time, he doesn't want to see the Queen Mother at all, "When you go back to the Queen Mother, you will say that I am busy with official business, and I will not go to lunch." ”

"Yes!"

Not long after Gonggong Zou retreated, people were sent.

"Wechen has seen Your Majesty!"

"Excuse me!" Lin Chen'an looked at it and found that he didn't know this person and didn't care, but just asked critically: "What did you find on this trip to Jiangnan?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it should be the Gentiles who buy grain on a large scale, it is reported that the harvest of the Gentiles this year is not good, I think there are some people who want to store some grain and sell it, and the amount is not large, only a few thousand stones." The man's face was respectful: "When the lord was tracking, he found a tunnel, and directly destroyed the place where the Gentiles were storing grain. ”

"Oh?" Lin Chen'an didn't expect things to go so smoothly: "What about the grain?" ”

"When Weichen arrived at the granary, the grain had already been transported, but when he traced it, he found that the grain had been burned."

"Burned?" Lin Chen'an was a little unconvinced, how could the businessmen be shrewd, how could they make such a big mistake.

"Yes! This matter is strange here, so Lord Zhang decided to continue the investigation. ”

"Nothing else?" Lin Chen'an looked at the little official suspiciously, if it was such a simple thing, how could it make such a big fuss.

"My subordinates have one more thing to say back to Your Majesty!" Hearing the question, the little official suddenly knelt on the ground: "Lord Zhang said that the Jiangnan grain case must not be so simple, and the number reported by the local officials should be biased, and Lord Zhang suspects that this is caused by the collusion of officials and businessmen!" ”

"Humph! Then get to the bottom of it! ”
