It is said that ancient people thought feudalism, and now Ling Xia has finally seen it, looking at Su Jing'an and the two contemplating and thinking, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Stop, two adults, didn't I just say it?" There are many doubts about all this. ”

"Suspicious?" Looking at Ling Xia in surprise, Wu Zhenshan said unhappily: "Then you can tell me, how did General Tuhu disappear after they entered the mountain pass?" Why are there no traces left on the ground? ”

Hearing Wu Zhenshan's question, Ling Xia sorted out his thoughts, and then, he led Su Jing'an and the others to the col and stepped on the ground under his feet: "Please see, the road surface in this col is mainly three structures, namely soil, sand, and gravel.

These things are usually fine, but when they come into contact with water and mix with each other, they become a kind of concrete------ well------ it seems that without this thing------ it will become a special kind of soil that is very hard. ”

"Well, I'll give you a test." After speaking, Ling Xia casually collected some soil, gravel, lime, and sand grains, and found some water, and mixed these three things with water.

Then he smoothed the mixture with a twig, and after a while, when the cold wind had dried the material, everyone was amazed to find that the ground had become smooth and hard.

"This? Why? "When you see this, it's incredible.

didn't explain the principle of concrete forming, because they didn't understand it after explaining it, so Ling Xia deliberately ignored this problem, pointed to the road and said: "Two adults, please see, this principle is actually used on this road, so you can be not afraid of trampling, clean and tidy, look at the appearance of this road, it should not be arranged for a long time."

But there has been no rain in the past few days, and the sand and gravel cannot be laid so evenly, so all this must not be naturally formed, but someone deliberately arranged, but to arrange such a special road, it must use many people and water. ”

"Come on, go investigate quickly, see if anyone has touched this road recently, and if you find any suspicious clues, come and report it immediately."

Su Jing'an and Wu Zhenshan gave orders at the same time.

About half a cup of tea later, Pei Guozhong, the governor of Hedao Prefecture, arrived at the scene in a hurry, and when he saw Su Jing'an, he bowed down and replied: "Your Excellency, the lowly position has been investigated.

Two days ago, the adults came to the river house, learned that the adults need to pass by Feifengling, the original Chong'an County order Yi Shirong in order to meet the political envoy, had led three classes of errands to come here to "clean the street", at that time he sent people to sprinkle water to sweep the road, the road here was repaired. ”

"Who? Yi Shirong? Bring him here. Su Jing'an's expression was a little gloomy.

"This ------ well----- this ------" squeaked a few words, Pei Guozhong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied in a weak tone: "Lord Qiyu, Yi Shirong ------ him------ him------ he disappeared." ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Ling Xia, Su Jing'an and the others all showed a hint of surprise.

It turned out that just after Pei Guozhong received Su Jing'an's order, he immediately launched an investigation, and after a while, he learned from the official that Yi Shirong had sent someone to Feifengling to splash water and clear the road, and when he was about to escort Yi Shirong to Su Jing'an, he found that the government was responsible for guarding Yi Shirong's arrest and was knocked unconscious, and Yi Shirong disappeared.

Figuring out what happened, Ling Xia faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, if Yi Shirong had disappeared before, the official in charge of guarding would definitely find out and report it, but Yi Shirong disappeared when Pei Guozhong found out that he had "purified the way", which showed that someone had robbed Yi Shirong first.

Who can rob people under the noses of so many people? And who chose this juncture to rob people? The answer is obvious, the person who robbed Yi Shirong was mixed between the teams at the scene, if the other party was not at the scene, it would be impossible to know that Pei Guozhong had found Yi Shirong, let alone take such a big risk to choose this time to rob people.

Who will rob Yi Shirong, needless to say, it must be someone involved in the Yin Soldier borrowing case, since the other party is afraid that Yi Shirong will fall into the hands of Ling Xia, it means that Yi Shirong is involved in the case, and the other party is worried that Ling Xia will find out the suspicion from Yi Shirong, so they want to rob the person before Ling Xia meets Yi Shirong.

The people who knew that Ling Xia had solved the mystery of the road without a trace, apart from Ling Xia himself, were the crazy and stupid Ling Baiyu, Su Jing'an, and Wu Zhenshan.

After Ling Xia discovered the traces of the road being artificially hardened, Ling Xia and Ling Baiyu stood still and did not move, while Wu Zhenshan and Su Jing'an ordered to send people to investigate the clues at the same time, and now there is this kind of leak, the problem must have happened to these two people, looking at the two court officials opposite, Ling Xia suddenly had a thrill in his heart, he vaguely guessed something?

"Master Su, you arrived at the Yamen of the River Mansion yesterday?" Wu Zhenshan asked in disbelief.

"Yes, this official is the Yamen of the River Mansion who arrived yesterday afternoon." Su Jing'an did not hide it.

"You went to the Yamen of Hedao Mansion, how did you get to Feifengling? This is the Junction Place, huh? Wu Zhenshan was a little puzzled.

"Before this official came to the River Mansion, he happened to go to Rosewood on business, so he came from a post station eighty miles away." Su Jing'an didn't hesitate.

"So coincidentally?" After making a pun, Wu Zhenshan continued: "After you passed through Feifengling yesterday afternoon, and the Praetorian Guards were borrowed by the Yin soldiers last night, is this a bit too coincidental?" ”

"What does General Wu mean?" Hearing Wu Zhenshan's words, Su Jing'an was not angry, but said lightly: "If General Wu suspects that this official is suspicious, he can say it clearly, why hide it so much." ”

The two argued for a few words, and then broke up unhappily, because of Yi Shirong's disappearance, the clues of the case were temporarily broken, seeing that it was already afternoon at this time, everyone was a little hungry, so Wu Zhenshan invited Ling Xia and the two to eat in his tent, and during the meal, Wu Zhenshan told Ling Xia with great meaning, asking him to be careful of Su Jing'an in the opposite tent.

Perhaps hearing Wu Zhenshan talking about himself, Su Jing'an raised his head and glanced at Wu Zhenshan, and then, he also sent someone over to invite Ling Xia and the two to drink tea in his tent, because of the identity of the other party, Ling Xia and Ling Baiyu went to Su Jing'an's side, and when tasting tea, Su Jing'an looked at Ling Xia with a strange expression, and asked him not to fall for Wu Zhenshan's provocation.

Seeing that the two were about to pinch up again, Ling Xia wisely chose to be silent, seeing that Ling Xia did not say anything, Su Jing'an and Wu Zhenshan were bored fighting, so they stopped, after eating and drinking, Ling Xia walked out of the tent, he asked Wu Zhenshan for two horses, and said that he would go to the post station on the official road on the north side to investigate the matter of the Yin soldiers borrowing the road, and see if the Yin soldiers lived in the post station after borrowing the road.

When the soldier led two high-grade military horses over, Ling Xia suddenly found an embarrassing thing, that is, he couldn't ride a horse, just when he was stunned, Ling Baiyu actually took the reins, stepped on the saddle and sat on the horse's back, looking at her like that, it seemed that she was no stranger to horseback riding.

Seeing this situation, Ling Xia found an excuse for fainting the horse, and then shared a horse with Ling Baiyu, because he was worried that Ling Xia and the two would take the opportunity to escape, so Wu Zhenshan and Su Jing'an each sent a henchman to follow, ostensibly to assist Ling Xia in investigating the case, but in fact, the purpose of the two was very simple, that is, to send someone to monitor Ling Xia.

After getting on the horse, Ling Xia hugged his fists with Wu Zhenshan and Su Jing'an, agreed to meet at the time of the evening, and then beckoned the two people who were monitoring him to set off, not to mention, Ling Baiyu was really proficient in thaumaturgy, shook the reins, flicked the horsewhip, and then, Ling Baiyu drove the horse forward.

Feeling the sound of the wind whistling in his ears, his legs were clamped between the saddle under the seat, Ling Xia hugged Ling Baiyu's willow waist tightly, and kept shouting: "Sister, it's speeding, can you slow down, it's too fast, call it off, let the horse run slower, don't fall us." ”

"yes...... Drive...... Don't be afraid, brother...... The horses are very well-behaved...... Can't fall on us...... ......Ignoring Ling Xia's shouting and shouting, Ling Baiyu rode his horse excitedly.

"Bai Yu, remember my brother's words, when you get to the post station, you don't go inside, you take care of our horses from the outside, let our horses eat and drink, and then you wait for your brother's code, and when I go outside to find you, you will ride a horse and leave with your brother, okay?" Seeing that the two watchers didn't notice him, Ling Xia whispered.

"Brother didn't investigate those two people?" Ling Baiyu asked blankly.

"Don't check, my brother already knows what's going on? But the elder brother can't say it, if the two know that the elder brother has found out the case, they will force the elder brother to crack the truth, and it will be useless after the elder brother tells the results of the investigation, and at that time, they will kill the elder brother and Bai Yu, so we have to escape. Ling Xia patiently explained.

"Why did they kill my brother and Bai Yu?" Ling Baiyu asked puzzled.

"Alas----- because my brother is a nobody, if my brother is a civil servant who leans towards the government and the opposition, or a military general with heavy troops, those people will not dare to hurt my brother and Bai Yu, but unfortunately my brother is nothing now."

After saying this with emotion, Ling Xia asked casually: "Bai Yu, do you like your brother to be a Wenchen in the future?" Or do you like your brother to be a military general? ”

"I don't like the county commander and the political envoy, they speak in a screechy manner, and their clothes are not good-looking. I like that big man, he has high martial arts, great ability, and great strength, that person looks majestic in armor, when did my brother wear that kind of clothes? Ling Baiyu asked innocently.

"Huh...... You girl actually looks at people by her clothes. Smiling, Ling Xia joked casually: "Okay, my brother will go to be a soldier another day, and then come back wearing that kind of armor, so that you can see if your brother is majestic?" ”

Ling Xia didn't expect that this joke at this time would turn into a true thing under a series of mistakes in the future.
