He Xiaoxiao led a donkey into Anlu Mansion and stayed at the Yuelai Inn that she had made an appointment with Xu Anping in advance. After waiting for three days and not seeing anyone come to her, she couldn't help muttering in her heart: "That Xu Ningyi, who is known as the double dagger without a trace, won't be playing with me?" Probably not! Last time, he brought down the county commander Li Weiwei, but he made a lot of efforts. Strange, who is this person? Why are you helping me so much? After thinking about it, I still didn't have a clue, so I rolled around on the bed with the quilt and was very irritable, only to hear the creaking of the wooden bed and seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

At this time, the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door: "Guest officer, the time for dinner has come, but do you want the villain to bring the food to the room?" ”

When He Xiaoxiao heard this voice, her mood improved, and she immediately forgot the anxious question behind her, and hurriedly got up from the bed and said through the door: "Okay, okay, hurry up and bring the food, remember to ask for more meat." ”

"Okay! The guest officer waited, and the meal was delivered immediately. ”

Zhou Wudao sat in the study and felt a little uneasy, he had been holding an official document in his hand for more than half an hour, but he didn't read a word. Master Qian came back yesterday and reported to him the progress of the matter, but he was still unsure in his heart, so he had been anxiously waiting for news. Hearing hurried footsteps outside the house, his heart lifted.

Master Qian was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed the door directly and walked in, and the words had already passed before the person arrived. "Proprietor, happy event!" Then he realized that something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Proprietor, there is news from Qingzhou that Tian Huaying's father and son have been killed. ”

Zhou Wudao shook his hands hard, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, "Don't worry about it in the future!" Slightly restrained the joy on his face, and then asked, "How is Yushi Sun Yongcheng?" Nothing went wrong, right? ”

"Rest assured, proprietor! The subordinates have specifically told him before that they must not hurt Lord Yushi. ”

"Well, the master should take the first credit! After this inspection, it is time for the official to move upward. "Zhou Wudao thought of this, and his mind had drifted to the bustling capital." Twenty-four years ago, I don't know if the things in the capital are, whether the people are? ”

Master Qian is also a clever person, he knows what to say at this time, and bows to the end and says""""Congratulations to the lord, my subordinates are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Hahaha...... prefect Zhou Wudao was enjoying Master Qian's praise, when he heard a knock on the door again, the boss in his heart was not happy, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The family outside the door replied in a low voice: "Master, the official of the government has come to report that Lord Yushi Sun has returned to the territory of Anlu Mansion from Qingzhou Mansion, and a group of people are rushing to the palace city, please instruct you to stop." ”

Master Qian said "ah", he was very surprised, he saw that the proprietor's face was also suspicious, and he thought about it hurriedly, and then said: "The proprietor, his subordinates have the courage to guess that Sun Yushi is asking you for help, after all, it is a big crime to lose the court." The Qincha team was attacked by assassins in Qingzhou Mansion, and this Sun Yushi did not dare to gamble his life on the Qingzhou Governor's Mansion again. ”

After Zhou Wudao listened, his fingers habitually tapped on the desk, and he thought for a while before ordering: "You are right, it is indeed very possible." In this way, you go to greet Sun Yushi first, find out what he thinks, and then the official will be fully prepared accordingly. ”

When Master Qian saw Sun Yongcheng again, he found that the other party was a little anxious and embarrassed, not at all as gentle and orderly as a few days ago. As soon as he got closer, before he could say hello, Sun Yongcheng came out of the sedan chair and grabbed his arched hand, and asked eagerly, "Is it convenient for Lord Zhou now?" I want to see him now. The matter is urgent, please ask Master Qian to pass through. Master Qian knew it in his heart, but he still pretended to be frightened on his face, "Why is this so, my lord?" Although the prefect was ill, he confessed that he would sweep the couch at any time to welcome the visit of the imperial master. If the adult has something to command, the villain can arrange it in advance. ”

Sun Yongcheng hugged his fists again and again to thank him, but he didn't explain why he was in a hurry, but he said: "Alas, what a disaster! Then he instructed the sedan chair driver to get up the sedan chair immediately and rush to Anlufu City overnight. Seeing this, Master Qian glanced at one of his entourages behind him, who nodded lightly and rode around the path to rush back to the mansion.

At about the next morning, Zhou Wudao was having breakfast, and a family member came over to report: "Master, Lord Yushi Sun is already waiting in the living room." After listening to this, he nodded, and then slowly drank the millet porridge in the bowl before changing his clothes to the living room, only to see Sun Yongcheng was pacing anxiously in the living room, still sighing. Zhou Wudao approached quickly, and hurriedly said, "Brother Xian, didn't you return to Beijing, why did you come back again?" He took a closer look and found that Sun Yongcheng's face was sallow, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were bloodshot, so a smile appeared in his eyes, but his tone was more anxious and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

When Sun Yongcheng saw the prefect Zhou Wudao coming, he hurriedly stopped, bowed down and said in a sad voice: "Virtuous brother, foolish brother's life is over!" Brother Wan Wangxian came to the rescue. ”

Zhou Wudao hurriedly held up Sun Yongcheng's arm and said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, just come if you have something." Although he is reckless and dull, he will do his best. Then he pulled Sun Yongcheng to sit on the chair and made a deferential appearance.

"Brother Xian, the foolish brother is really reckless and careless this time, it is really impossible to give up! However, he couldn't leave the young son of the high hall in the family, so he could only ask the virtuous brother for help. As he spoke, he covered his face with his sleeves, whined a few times, calmed down a little, and continued: "The foolish brother said goodbye to the virtuous brother and set off to return to Beijing, but when he arrived in Qingzhou, he was attacked by dozens of bandits, several important prisoners of the court were killed on the spot, and dozens of officials were also killed and wounded. This is a catastrophe! ”

"Ahh And such things? Zhou Wudao patted the table next to him and stood up, and said loudly: "How can this be reasonable! It is simply appalling, and such bandits cannot be allowed to run rampant in broad daylight. Virtuous brother doesn't need to panic, what do you need to do with foolish brother. After a burst of anger, Zhou Wudao clutched his chest and coughed again.

Sun Yongcheng lowered his head in shame and said, "It's really a sin to disturb the respect of the virtuous brother. Brother Yu hopes that Brother Xian can send his capable men to help solve this case as soon as possible, so that I can barely escape this fate. ”

"This, well, the foolish brother also wants to help the virtuous brother, but the case happened in Qingzhou Mansion, and this kind of cross-border case handling is really difficult!" Zhou Wudao frowned, meditating.

"Don't be anxious, brother. The foolish brother plans to solve the case together with the officials of Anlu Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion as a Qincha. Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, the foolish brother really can't trust the officials of Qingzhou Mansion, after all, ......"

Zhou Wudao slapped his thigh hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" Since he fell in love with the virtuous brother, the foolish brother also let it go, and only asked the virtuous brother to be safe. ”

"Thank you Brother Xian for your help, brother remembers the five!"
