It was inconvenient for Lu Chu'er and other female guards to knock on the door from door to door, so Liu Yu asked Qi Fang to go back and find thirty male soldiers, and inquired about the surroundings one by one with the place of the incident as the center.

Liu Yu wanted to go back to decoction and take medicine, Su Yan was a dignified king, and it was not suitable to walk around here, so he went back with Liu Yu and his wife.

At dusk, the people who went out to inquire came back sporadically, and the news they brought back disappointed Liu Yu.

"Within a radius of one or two miles, I have asked everything I can ask according to the drawings drawn by General Liu, and I don't know it." Qu Zhu wiped his sweat.

Since he went out of Chang'an City with Liu Yu and others, Qu Zhu has done everything first, and it can be said that he has done his best, after all, he has no position like Hu Xuan and Liu Wu, and he is only regarded as an entourage, and he still wants to be his "great immortal" when he returns to Chang'an if he can't do his errands.

"What about the kids?" Liu Yu asked.

"The children were looking for it, and they said that it was an old man who took it to the market and sold it, and it didn't sell well, so the rest was lost, and they picked it up and threw it to play."

Liu Yu couldn't laugh or cry, he thought he could do a big job with great interest, but he didn't expect it.

"Continue to send people to find it, send more people, and find it anyway."

Liu Yu was taking medicine, and the relatives of the king of Chu came to find him, saying that the king of Chu had invited him, and he only invited Liu Yu alone.

Liu Yu accompanied him as an escort general, and the old emperor's intention was obviously to let him give advice to the King of Chu, but since he left Chang'an, he didn't say a few words to the King of Chu, and he couldn't get the trust of the King of Chu at all. On the other hand, the new detective Hua Mingjin followed up, and the King of Chu only discussed with Mingjin alone behind closed doors when he had something.

One day is Su Yan's master, and this future prince will not treat him as his own for a day. Liu Yue couldn't figure out why the King of Chu wanted to take a picture of him alone today.

The king of Chu settled in the Taishou Mansion, and the conditions of the Taishou Mansion were better than the post house. Second, it is convenient to consult with Taishou and the local agricultural and mulberry officials. Liu Yu entered the hall. The king of Chu was facing away from the door and looking at the landscape paintings on the wall. Ming Jin greeted him with a smile.

Liu Yu saluted and said goodbye. The king of Chu seemed to turn a deaf ear, and continued to turn his back and look at his paintings leisurely.

Ming Jin smiled and asked, "Has General Liu's injuries improved?" ”

"I've visited the doctor, but it still hasn't improved." It is rare for Ming Jin to inquire, and Liu Yue told the truth.

Ming Jin used to be very respectful to Liu Yue, after all, Liu Yuguan, who was a minister in the same hall, was more than ten levels higher than him. At this time, Ming Jin's face sank uncharacteristically, and he said in an almost reprimanding tone: "Then General Liu can use public weapons for private use, and rush to the capital to find a doctor with the military headquarters station for 800 miles?" ”

Only then did Liu Yu remember that Xu Xuanzhu had indeed mentioned this matter when he saw a doctor in the afternoon. Originally, he didn't think it was good. But when the King of Chu came to him alone for this matter, he still questioned Ming Jin as a subordinate, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. It doesn't matter if his subordinates are injured and don't care about condolences, but now they actually come to question him, and besides, Xu Xuanzhu's use of military posts as a female army marshal is in line with military law.

Ming Jin represents the king of Chu, and Liu Yu can't make a mistake even if he is reasonable.

"The minister is guilty."

"Just be convicted." Ming Jin showed a smug smile on his face, and glanced at the King of Chu in a somewhat arrogant manner, but the King of Chu still did not say, Ming Jin continued, "Then General Liu is here to recuperate." The officials on official affairs will help Wei Si judge and Yu Taishou, and try their best to assist His Royal Highness the King of Chu. You don't have to worry about it. ”

The group was accompanied by the King of Chu and the King of Yu. But even these officials took Su Yan as transparent, and now they took the opportunity to warn him not to interfere indiscriminately, otherwise he would be punished. Although the King of Chu did not speak, if it was not for the instructions of the King of Chu, Ming Jin would not dare to commit the next offense, Liu Yue really wanted to scoff and then throw off his sleeves and quit.

Until Liu Yu left, the king of Chu continued to look at his words without saying a word.

Back at home, Liu Yu held his breath, Xu Xuanzhu brought him tea and water and asked, Liu Yu only said that he was worried about not being able to find the source of sweet potatoes today. There are many things that Liu Yue is inconvenient to mention to Xu Xuanzhu, after all, Xu Xuanzhu is also a courtier, and he may also have to assist King Chu to ascend the throne as emperor in the future.

If you want to live a peaceful life, complaints are often only suitable for stuffing in your heart.

In the next few days, the Taishou Mansion has been busy issuing notices to the counties of Fangzhou County to implement the "Jiguang Law" to collect grain. The king of Chu is decisive, although this is an advantage, but he is too conceited, a little blind and arrogant, and acts alone, on the surface he does not have a bad relationship with Su Yan, but he never consults with Su Yan in doing things. It made it quite difficult for Fang Zhou County to guard Yu Tianshou, and often went to the post house alone to ask Su Yan's opinion.

Of course, Su Yan didn't have any opinions, and Yu Tianshou just didn't want to offend King Yu while obeying King Chu.

Su Yan has also been to the Taishou Mansion a few times, and the only thing Liu Yu heard him mention about things related to the Taishou Mansion was: "Yu Taishou's daughter is really beautiful." The rest of the time, Su Yan was all over the city.

Since coming to Fangzhou County, Liu Yue is very leisurely, and the post house still comes and goes from time to time with a few doctors invited from the surrounding counties, and he is in a hurry when he comes, and he is even more hurried when he goes. Liu Yu no longer had hope for the local doctor, he was more concerned about finding out where the scraped sweet potato came from, and there were many people who were dispatched, but there was no news.

On the seventh day of arriving in Fangzhou County, the grain collection organized by the Taishou Mansion had reached the stage of collecting grain and putting it into storage, and it took only a few days, from the proclamation to the apportionment of tasks to the implementation of each household and then to the collection and storage of grain, the arrangement of the King of Chu was also in good order. The most important thing is to appease the rich families in Fangzhou who pay for grain. Liu Yudu couldn't understand why the local rich family would be so obedient.

It is also a good thing that the grain is effective, not to mention that it is still robbing the rich and helping the poor so that the poor people have nothing to lose. In the past few days in Fangzhou County, Liu Yue has felt more and more the embarrassment of the local lack of salt, but Fangzhou is not a salt-producing land, and the government is busy collecting grain, and no one pays attention to the suffering of the people.

Finally on the afternoon of the seventh day, Liu Wuxing rushed into the post house and shouted, "Young master, young master, I found it, I found it." ”

Liu Yu was bored playing chess with himself, looked up and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Find that...... Sweet potatoes are where sweet potatoes come from. ”

Liu Yu stood up and said, "Where is it?" Didn't find anyone? Let's be clear. ”

Liu Wu is usually clever, but it is the first time to complete such a big errand, he is a little excited, and he is out of breath on the way after running for a few miles, and he speaks incoherently, but fortunately, Liu Yue is careful enough to ask a little bit clearly.

Sweet potatoes are not called sweet potatoes, but "Nanyang Gan". Nanyang Gan is not a local thing, but is cultivated in Hua County, more than 100 miles south of Fangzhou County, and it is said that there are not a few people who plant there.

Su Yan heard the news and asked, "Master, did you send someone over there to ...... Nanyang Gan sent over? ”

"No need, go prepare the horses, we'll go over ourselves."

Su Yan was immediately sad when he heard it, he finally came out of Chang'an once, Fangzhou is not the bank of Kwai Water in Huaishang County, there is no Turkic cavalry here who don't need to dig trenches and the people are rich, he just had a good time, and when he heard that he had to go to Hua County to find an inconspicuous sweet potato, how could he not worry.

Xu Xuanzhu just went to decoct the medicine in person, and when he came back, he saw that Liu Yu was wearing a coat, and said with concern: "If you don't take a trip for your husband, your husband's injuries will not heal, and he will have to rest more." Besides, the imperial doctor sent by the emperor will come quickly, and you will miss it in the past. ”

"Hurry more, you can arrive in the afternoon, and you will be back tomorrow."

Liu Yu didn't listen to the persuasion, and originally wanted to keep Xu Xuanzhu in Fangzhou. But Xu Xuanzhu was not at ease, and set off for Hua County with Liu Yu.

Hua County is not under the rule of Fangzhou County, but belongs to Linjun County in the south. Liu Yu and the others set off in a hurry, and they did not say hello to Taishoufu. The group hurried and hurried, and they had already entered the territory of Huaxian County before sunset.

When Liu Yu saw the bright green sweet potato vines in the ridges, he was very excited, and jumped off the horse and walked out of the official road under the puzzled eyes of everyone, pulling one out of the soil. It's a pity that these are spring potatoes that are not yet ripe, and the size of the sweet potatoes dug up is not large.

"Good stuff, good stuff." Liu Yu praised with a smile.

Xu Xuanzhu and the others also jumped off the horse and came over to check the sweet potato in Liu Yu's hand, and suddenly a shout came from in the distance: "Hey! ”

Like a warning, Liu Yu looked up and saw several farmers doing farm work rushing over with hoes, originally wanting to teach this thief who stole Nanyang Gan a lesson, but when he saw that these people were all carrying swords, no one dared to approach.

“…… You guys...... How do you steal from our fields? ”

These people have a strong local accent, and Liu Yu can't understand a lot of what they say, but he understands the last sentence of the middle-aged farmer in front of him.

"Where did you get this thing?"

Liu Yu and their accents were not the same, and they only understood after talking for a long time, and pointed to the east and said: "Qi Village, Qi Village." ”

is also a Middle-earth person, and it is not as difficult to communicate as a sign language comparison with foreigners. However, the farmer kept repeating Qi Village, which means that it was passed on by the people of Qi Village. The group went straight to the east, all the way were plains, although there were also cereals grown in the fields, but at least half of the fields were planted with sweet potatoes, indicating that it was not a rare variety grown by a family.

After inquiring about the road all the way, walking twenty or thirty miles, seeing that the sky was gradually getting darker, and the sky was gloomy and seemed to be raining, Su Yan began to be a little nervous, after all, he didn't bring a tent when he walked in a hurry. Finally, after walking a few miles out of the official road, I found a small mountain village called Qi Village.

The sky is gloomy and gloomy, surrounded by green hills and green trees, the mountain fog is hazy, the ridges are farmers carrying hoes home, and not far away there are patches of thatched houses with smoke curling, chickens and dogs barking a scene of farmhouses at dusk. Even Su Yan, who has always liked to stick into the pile of powerful, couldn't help but look at the quiet scene in front of him in a daze.

"Who are you looking for?" A cowherd baby led the cow with her bare butt and asked.

"Little brother, this Nanyang Gan came from your Qi Village, right?" Liu Yu stepped forward and asked, "Do you know how this Nanyang Gan came from?" ”

"Uncle Cai, Uncle Dacai......"

The cowherd let go of the leash, and did not seem to worry about the cow being led away by these strangers, and ran into the village with a puff of smoke and a repeated shout.

When he returned, he was accompanied by a man dressed in gray Confucian clothes, like a rural teacher. The man had two beards, a square face that looked honest, in his thirties, and looked at the group of more than twenty people as he walked with a surprised face. Suddenly, he bowed and said: "The grass people don't know that the official is coming, and they deserve death." ”

Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu glanced at each other, and they didn't know how he knew that these people were officials and not thieves. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
