When Lin Xuan heard the news, he showed a look of regret on his face, and said mockingly: "When he entered the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, we were one of us who would be the next commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and Jiang Shuai also cultivated him as a successor, but I didn't expect that he would not be trusted by His Majesty in the end, and he was able to entrust the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to let the eldest grandson Chi pick up a bargain, His Majesty attaches great importance to this eldest grandson general, and actually entrusted the safety of the capital to him, Your Majesty's boldness in employing people has to be admired!" ”

"Zhao Ling will make His Majesty suspicious, I'm afraid that there is also my reason for it!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled sarcastically, "The position of the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will not fall on the shoulders of the prince, although it is something that has been guessed a long time ago, but there is still some grievance for him in my heart, he is good, the second prince is good, to His Majesty, to the court, to Da Zhou, loyalty, but it is a pity that their loyalty, in the eyes of some people, is afraid of nothing!" ”

Qingzhou, the state pastoral office.

"This Qingzhou is naturally not as prosperous as the capital, but the people also live and work in peace and contentment, there are many scenic spots, many celebrities and talents, are admired, left a lot of poems, if the son of the world is not disgusted, I am willing to accompany the son of the world in Qingzhou to play in the mountains and rivers, and live up to this trip from afar!" Wu Zhitong touched his beard and said with a smile, his tone was brisk, as if he was talking to a friend.

Zhao Ling played with the wine glass in his hand and said lightly: "I understand Lord Wu's kindness, but Zhao Ling came this time, just to handle the case, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, until the matter at hand is investigated clearly, it is not too late to disturb Lord Wu, the landlord!" ”

Zhao Ling politely but detached looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, Qingzhou Prefecture Pastor Wu Zhitong, the niece and son-in-law of Changsun Hu, the champion who was quite famous back then, after being transferred to Qingzhou, the position of this state pastor has been done for twelve years, which shows Changsun Hu's recognition of his trust and talent.

When he first arrived here, since he had no intention of concealing his identity, he naturally wanted to visit this state pastor first, but he was ill and did not see him, and he closed his door for two days, preparing to give Zhao Ling a dismissal, so that Zhao Ling could not start in Qingzhou City.

Zhao Ling was not in a hurry, Wu Zhi was sick, he waited, and slowly began to investigate, visiting the people and visiting the merchants.

Qingzhou's government affairs are clear, and there is nothing illegal and taboo happening, so Wu Zhitong is not afraid of Zhao Ling investigating anything in the city, but he received a letter from the capital, asking him to cooperate with Zhao Ling's actions and act at the opportunity, he is very puzzled, but since the uncle has spoken, he can only be obedient, so he is "cured" and invites the prince to the palace to entertain.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Zhitong said with a smile, "The prince of the world is here with a mission this time, since this Qingzhou is now under my jurisdiction, even if the prince of the world investigates, if there is anything that needs my cooperation, I will definitely cooperate fully!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wu!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "I have already sent someone to send a copy of the case file to you, I don't know if there is any progress now?" ”

"This ...... I am really busy with official business, and I am not angry, and I have been ill for a few days, so I have only seen this case file, but I have immediately ordered to go down and investigate the two things mentioned in the Shizi's letter, and I believe that I will be able to give a feedback soon! Wu Zhitong said.

"It's so hard for Lord Wu!" Zhao Ling smiled faintly, "Thank you for your hospitality today, I still have important things to do, so I'll leave first!" ”

"Although my mansion is simple, there are still a few spare rooms, and the prince will not let go of it for the time being, so that he can do his best in the friendship of the landlord, not to mention that we are also relatives, if you still live in the post house, it is really too outside!" Wu Zhitong said with a smile, "If the prince doesn't dislike it, I'll let the cheap clean up the room!" ”

Zhao Ling thought about it silently, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "In this way, I will disturb it!" ”

Wu Zhitong wants to spy on himself nearby, or not, anyway, his purpose this time is to attract their attention, and he will stay here, so that they can focus on themselves and facilitate other people to investigate the case.

When night fell, the lights in the palace gradually lit up, Zhao Ling lived in the guest room of the side courtyard after Wu Zhitong and his wife were hospitable, Wu Zhitong sent him some documents, so that he could understand the affairs of Qingzhou, Zhao Ling quickly went through it, it was all something that did not hurt or itch, and he looked at it.

The moon was like water, Zhao Ling stretched his waist and was ready to fall asleep, his eyes suddenly burst out with a burst of coldness, he picked up the brush on the table, and shot in the direction of the window.

There was a burst of exclamations outside the window, followed by panicked footsteps, Zhao Ling's eyes were cold, and he walked quickly to the window. ”

The person who was eavesdropping outside was a woman, fourteen or fifteen years old, with some baby fat, probably frightened, her face was a little pale, her eyes were full of tears, she bit her lip, and said: "I just heard that you are good-looking, so I secretly came to take a look, what kind of murder are you, I am scared to death!" It's amazing! ”

Zhao Ling frowned slightly, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Wu Yingying, and my father is the state pastor of Qingzhou!" The girl said coquettishly and arrogantly, "Who are you, and why do you live in our house?" ”

"It turned out to be Miss Wu!" Zhao Ling's temples twitched, thinking that Wu Zhitong was a talented person, and his wife was also a knowledgeable person, why was this girl so rampage, "Under Zhao Ling, how offended!" But next time, Miss Wu will be sneaky outside, otherwise it will be bad if there is any misunderstanding! ”

"Zhao Ling? This name is so familiar, but why are you so fierce, just don't come to peek at you in the future! Wu Yingying snorted and said, "I'm going back!" ”

She swaggered and prepared to leave, and a few guards not far away shook their heads helplessly as if they were a little embarrassed.

At this time, Yang Xing came back from a business trip outside, glanced indifferently at this girl's body, and then walked towards Zhao Ling.

But Wu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned around and followed behind Yang Xing's ass.

Yang Xing asked Zhao Ling for peace, and asked with his eyes who this stupid girl who was staring at him motionlessly?

"Miss Wu, is there anything else?" Zhao Ling asked, this girl was about to drool when she looked at Yang Xing's appearance.

Wu Yingying hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, no, I just think he is good-looking, just look at him twice!" ”

I saw Wu Zhitong running over in a hurry, glared at his daughter viciously, and hurriedly hugged his fists and apologized: "Forgive me, the little girl is reckless and ignorant, disturbing the rest of the son!" ”

This daughter has been a nymphomaniac since she was a few years old, and when she saw a handsome man, she couldn't take her eyes off and drooled, and she lost a lot of people to him, this time there was someone in the family, and she didn't tell her, for fear that she would make a fool of herself again, but she didn't expect that she still knew about it, and she ran away by herself, which is really embarrassing!

"Ling Qianjin is innocent and romantic, not to mention disturbing!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly.

"Shizi, rest early, and leave with the little girl next!" Wu Zhitong said with a smile, but unfortunately his daughter didn't understand his situation at all, and said stiffly: "I don't, I want to live here tonight!" ”

"Bastard, get back!" Wu Zhitong scolded with a straight face and pulled the reluctant girl away.

The two men shook their heads in unison, and then went into the house to talk about things.

"What did you get today?" Zhao Ling asked lightly.

"Lord Wu seems to be cooperating with us, and he doesn't stop us from investigating the case, but it's just the surface, his people are everywhere, and the clues we can find are just afraid that they have already been cleaned up!" Yang Xing said.

"Since they like to talk to us so much, we won't let go of a few more*!" Zhao Ling said lightly, "If it's true or false, then it's true and false, then it's okay to make him go around and fall into the fog!" ”

"Although Lord Wu is trying his best to let us run empty, but in the end there are still some things worth scrutinizing, there are many merchants from Chen Guo in Qingzhou City, and they seem to be doing serious business, but for us to have a deep sense of defense, it stands to reason that although the eldest grandson Huai has been charged with fornicating with Chen Guo, Qingzhou's attitude towards Chen Guo has not changed in the slightest, it seems that there is no ghost in Lord Wu's heart, and the duke is selfless, so it will not affect normal business and trade exchanges. But it is this kind of selflessness that shows his conscience too much, which makes his subordinates feel strange! Yang Xing said, "The intuition of his subordinates, among these merchants of Chen Guo, I am afraid that there are spies of Chen Guo, and they need to be thoroughly investigated!" ”

"There is no evidence, it must be secretly investigated, there is no war with Chen Guo, business and trade are normal behaviors, do not disturb people's hearts, spare the normal order!" Zhao Ling instructed.

"My subordinates know!"

"I have sent someone to find out the identity of the assassin with the portrait of the assassin, but with the interference of Lord Wu, plus Qingzhou has a large population and a large terrain, it is a little difficult to find out!" Yang Xing said, "On the other hand, the brothers who were sent to investigate the corruption of tribute have now mastered some clues......

"Let the brothers withdraw from this line, do something to confuse Wu Zhitong, don't check the line about the tribute hoof, just hand it over to Chiyan!" Zhao Ling thought for a while and said.

How did the prince's rebellion begin to be suspected, framed, stamped, and then intensified, although he was not very old at that time, he also remembered it clearly, this case is quite similar to the things of the year, and this aspect is still handed over to His Majesty's people to investigate personally, he doesn't need to wade into troubled waters now.

Yang Xing's eyes were a little puzzled, but he still hugged his fists and said yes.
