After walking for eight days, Xu Lin revisited the old place and came to the rebuilt Governor's Palace.

Before it was burned down by Wangcai, the Governor's Mansion was magnificent, after all, He Tianhua planned to run Tiannan well.

Wangcai's samadhi fire burned the entire governor's palace to the ground, and there was not even a wall left, all of which turned into flying ashes, and the demolition was really not so clean. When it was rebuilt, it saved a lot of trouble, even leveling the ground.

The rebuilt Governor's Mansion is very simple, the office yamen is still a little imposing, and the place where the back hall lives can really be regarded as a humble room, and it is not much better than the dilapidated Imperial Sword Gate.

Seeing this, Xu Lin felt that no matter what Governor Xie Guangxi was thinking, the word "incorruptible" must be worthy of the name. And in these years, just by doing these two words, he is already one in a hundred good officials.

If it weren't for Xie Guangxi provoking him, Xu Lin really didn't want to deal with a good official.

Xie Feiyun was sent to the yamen of the Governor's Palace, and if the official process was followed, it would be the handover of the prisoners and the detention for trial. Xu Lin originally thought that he had come to the door, Xie Guangxi should not be making an official statement for himself, and Xie Feiyun was afraid that he would be sent home directly.

Who would have thought that until Xie Feiyun was sent to prison, Xu Lin had not been able to see this Tiannan governor.

inquired, but was told that Xie Guangxi had been recalled to the capital to report on his work.

It's not that Xie Guangxi deliberately avoided Xu Lin, but that the second prince finally couldn't stand Xie Guangxi's attitude and wanted to summon him back to Beijing to talk to him in person.

It's only Xu Lin who blamed Xu Lin for hurrying for days and didn't know about it. Xie Guangxi has been away from the Governor's Mansion for three days, and if he is faster, he is afraid that he will have to pass through the Three Mountains Pass.

Xu Lin was a little regretful, but he didn't plan to catch up. Xie Feiyun was imprisoned, and he didn't bother to take it back. This is not a hostage in the first place, but a signal.

Whether Xie Feiyun is convicted or released represents the relationship between the Governor's Mansion and the Imperial Sword Gate in the future. Xu Lin had already made his attitude clear, and now it was time to wait for the Governor's Mansion to respond. It depends on whether he chooses to sit together and drink tea, or chooses to use a knife and a gun.

Xu Lin wanted to end it quickly, but since Xie Guangxi was not there, he didn't want to embarrass his family.

It's just that before leaving, Xu Lin left a letter to Xie Guangxi, on which he wrote the names of some of the county orders identified by Du Hongchen to resist the decree and increase taxes, and there was also a paragraph: "What Xu saw on the road, there are people who say, if you die today, you will die if you make a big plan, and if you die, you will die in the country?" The true meaning of this, I think Governor Xie can know. ”

After this incident, Xu Lin was ready to return to the Imperial Sword Gate. By the way, you can also go to Heifeng Village to have a look, and I don't know how much work Du Hongchen has done there.

There is still nearly a month before the martial arts ceremony, and now the recruitment is almost over.

When he went back this time, Xu Lin was too lazy to go with the group of people from Kongsang County, and went on the road alone with a light load, so with his light skills, he would return to the Imperial Sword Gate in three days at most.

The night was dark, and it was a moonless night. Xu Lin performed light skills, walked out of the county seat, and walked forward on the official road. The figure is like a ghost, and even if someone stares closely, they probably can't see it clearly.

After walking for two or three hours, I arrived at a small town called Hangyu. Xu Lin planned to rest here and wait until dawn before continuing on the road.

Hangyu Town is much more lively than Kongsang Mountain, after all, it is not far from the Governor's Palace, and it is a rare prosperous place in Tiannan Province. Moreover, because Hangyu is too close to the Governor's Palace, the county order naturally does not dare to resist the tax increase, and the people of Hangyu Town are naturally even happier when they get the benefit of tax exemption for one year.

When Xu Lin arrived in Hangyu Town, it was already a child, but there were still several bright lights. Xu Lin was not familiar with the situation in this town, and wanted to find an inn, so he had to walk towards the place where the lights were on. Tiannan is mountainous, and this Hangyu town is no exception, most of the town is attached to the mountain like a cascade. Xu Lin walked to a slope and was about to meet a person.

Xu Lin was about to step forward to ask for directions, but found that this was a young and beautiful girl, who looked like she was less than twenty.

In the middle of the night, when a woman came to the street, Xu Lin naturally didn't want to come forward to ask, and he shouldn't even look at it more, otherwise it would be easy for people to misunderstand the melon field and plum, and it would be very rude. But Xu Lin looked at this woman, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.

It's not that this woman has a lot of heavenly fragrance and national color, Xu Lin has seen Yin Honglian's peerless appearance, and he has a very high resistance to her femininity.

It's that this woman's dress is very much like the people of the Five Immortal Sect who I have seen before.

Could it be that after Shangguan Wan and the Red Scale Envoy were imprisoned, the Five Immortals Sect sent people again? This is normal, after all, the status of the two is not low, and if they disappear, someone must be sent to investigate. It's just that what can a girl of this grade do if she sends a girl of this young grade?

Xu Lin didn't step forward to talk, but the girl of the Five Immortal Sect had already noticed his gaze. This girl didn't seem to be as restrained as Xu Lin, and took the initiative to greet Xu Lin: "This young man, have you seen a golden hairpin on the road?" ”

"Jin Hai? Sorry, I didn't see it below. Xu Lin replied.

"Oh, that's a bother." The girl had a disappointed look on her face, and passed Xu Lin with anxious steps.

This girl of the Five Immortal Sect doesn't recognize herself, and it is natural to think about it, although he has a good reputation now, but after all, he has not been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, even if there are portraits circulating, it is impossible for everyone in the world to know it. The Five Immortal Sect is far away in the Western Regions, so it is naturally more difficult to know what Xu Lin looks like.

Xu Lin's heart moved, feeling that this was an opportunity, if he could find out the news of the Five Immortals Sect from this girl, it would also be a good gain.

Therefore, Xu Lin chased after him and asked, "What does the golden hairpin that the girl wants to find look like, you might as well describe it to me, maybe I will see it in the future." ”

These Five Immortal Sect girls didn't seem to be wary of Xu Lin, and when they heard that he was willing to help, they hurriedly said happily: "That's a crested hairpin made of pure gold, decorated with two rubies, this is a relic left to me by my mother." If the young man sees it, please tell me. ”

"Crested hairpins adorned with rubies, I see. It's just that I haven't asked the girl's name yet, if I find Jin Hai, how can I contact the girl? Xu Lin asked.

The Five Immortals Sect girl reached out and touched the cloth pocket on her chest, took out a thumb-sized bamboo tube, handed it to Xu Lin and said, "My name is Lan Qing, if you find Jin Hai, as long as you open this bamboo tube, the guide bee inside will take you to me." By the way, what is your name, Shaoxia? ”

Xu Lin thought for a moment and replied, "Xiong Chumo, the star picker." ”
