He Wenmao left Qushuifang, and Lin Erye of Jiuyu Academy also left quickly, and in the alley near another bluestone slab bridge, a person also flashed out, with light steps and extremely fast speed, and also left Qushuifang and followed He Wenmao's carriage.

That person was not a stranger, it was Duan Ling. The location chosen by Ling Ling was very clever, and the corner where he was just able to see Changhuan Academy and Jiuyu Academy at the same time, so what happened this night did not hide from his eyes.

It's just a pity that the drunken staff walked on another bluestone slab bridge, which is far away from Duan Ling, if Duan Ling goes to the rescue from this corner, I am afraid that it will alarm He Wenmao and Lin Er Ye at the same time.

Pity! Ling Ling sighed heavily.

After He Wenmao came out of Qushuifang, he went home directly. He did not go back to the back house, but rested in the study. Probably because there was something in his heart, He Wenmao tossed and turned, and didn't fall asleep until late at night. After he fell asleep, the stalking stake of the Xinwang Mansion came to change shifts.

When he arrived at the Xinwang Mansion, Zheng Ying hadn't slept yet, and what happened that night was naturally reported to Zheng Ying as it was.

"What about people? Why didn't you save it? Zheng Ying asked.

"If you go down to save people, I'm afraid it will alarm He Wenmao." Qian Ling replied: "Besides, that person was extremely drunk, and he didn't call for help after falling into the water, according to the judgment of his subordinates, he probably choked on the water directly, even if he picked it up at that time, I'm afraid it was enough to choke." ”

"It's a pity." Zheng Ying also showed three points of regret on her face: "It's good to be detained and asked." Have you verified your identity? ”

The subordinates looked familiar, and it seemed to be a staff member of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. But late at night, the man had a beard again, and he couldn't see it clearly. Ling replied: "Don't worry, the prince will have results tomorrow morning." Someone in Qushuifang fell into the water and drowned, we don't need to be busy, the officials of the yamen will verify, and tomorrow morning, let Jiling go to inquire and inquire, it can't be wrong. ”

"If it is a staff member of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, then this He Wenmao will really have a big problem." Zheng Ying's fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Master, don't you believe in any Rong Di spies in the first place!" Ling Ling smiled: "You let your subordinates stare at He Wenmao like this, aren't you sure that there is something wrong with him?" The subordinates knew from the beginning that you believed in the blood book of the sixth son of the Mu family. ”

Zheng Ying didn't answer Duan Ling's words directly, he shifted the focus very lightly: "This king is a little strange, General Zhenguo does have a big temper on weekdays, and the generals who have never been on the battlefield have the blood of a soldier, but they don't have the calmness of the generals of the Anguo Mansion, and the problem is indeed bigger, but it is not too reckless and irritable." But this time, in the matter of sending troops to escort military funds, he actually won with the defenders of the northern border. ”

"According to his subordinates," Ling replied, "This Zhenguo general is still too comfortable on weekdays. He was sure that as long as he held the military flag of Jin Lingwei, no one would dare to touch this batch of military funds along the way. As far as the facts are concerned, General Zhenguo's self-confidence is not completely unreasonable. Ordinary bandit Qiang Liang did not dare to fight Jin Lingwei's idea. Dare to rob Jin Lingwei, except for doing things like Zhao Zhiliang and He Wenmao, they are Rong Di people. ”

"The subordinates felt that the courtiers from the army such as General Zhenguo always refused to convince An Guogong, but they actually trusted General Mu very much. With General Mu guarding the northern border, they decided in their hearts that it was impossible for the Rongdi people to easily cross the border and plunder. Although the incident done by Zhao Zhiliang many years ago finally made the northern defenders bear the black cauldron, Shuozhou had not been recovered at that time, which was different from the current situation. At that time, most of the courtiers also believed that the robbery of the Rongdi people to Jueyu Mountain was just an accident, and they should have taken advantage of the Shuobei General to attack Shuozhou City and take the waterway on the west side of Shuozhou to Jueyu Mountain. ”

"There is one such thing, and there can never be a second time. Now that Shuozhou has been recovered, and the entire Yunlan River basin is under the control of our northern defenders, General Zhenguo even believes that it is impossible for the Rongdi people to break through the defense line of our three northern states and cross the border to the Jueyu Mountain to loot. ”

"But he was angry in this matter, and his face was not just for An Guogong in the north." Zheng Ying replied with a slightly cold face.

"Exactly." Ling Ling nodded: "So master, you said that General Zhenguo was reckless in this matter, and it is really true." Fortunately, the emperor didn't care. Lord Wang, do you think that when General Zhenguo did such a thing, someone was behind his back? ”

"If the person you see today is really General Zhenguo's staff, you can't be wrong about this." Zheng Ying replied: "Otherwise, why would He Wenmao be so anxious to extinguish his mouth." However, this king didn't expect that the Lin family was also involved. It seems that this He Wenmao did not really fall to Li Xiang, but stepped on two boats. ”

"That's a good thing." Ling replied: "Stepping on two boats is the most unstable, and it is a matter of time before the boat capsizes." ”

"Keep an eye on He Wenmao." Zheng Ying suddenly said: "Send someone to the Anguo Mansion tomorrow to wait for the news, I don't know when the pigeon whistle in the north will arrive, once the news comes, report it immediately." He Wenmao is still involved with the Lin family, which makes the king even more worried about the whereabouts of that batch of military funds. ”

"My subordinates know." Ling nodded: "Master, it's late at night, you should rest quickly." I have to go to court early tomorrow morning. ”

Zheng Ying didn't answer, lowered her head and pinched her eyebrows. Where can he sleep, the whereabouts of Hongsheng's brother and younger brother are unknown, the north is still in a great drought, and the whereabouts of the military resources that An Guogong urgently needs are unknown.

Everything made Zheng Ying anxious, and he hoped to solve all the problems related to the Anguo Mansion as soon as possible. He hopes that everything will go well with Hongshang, so that she can continue to be a carefree lady with peace of mind, and find a good man with an honest personality in the future, happily marry Jiangnan, and be carefree for the rest of her life.

These are his wishes, and what he wants to do most urgently at the moment is to find out the truth as soon as possible and give Hongshang an explanation.

"You go and rest first." Zheng Ying finally raised her head and instructed Qian Ling: "This king is also going to rest." ”

After Ling left, Zheng Ying stood up from behind the desk, and as usual, he took the lamp and went out, turned to the main room in the courtyard, and pushed the door in.

The main hall of this courtyard was still empty as before, and there was still only a treasure rack and a desk. It's just that there seem to be more boxes on the treasure shelf.

Zheng Ying walked to the treasure shelf, put the lamp aside, and reached out to open a delicate long box on the treasure shelf.

Inside the box is a brilliant hairpin, delicate and gorgeous, but such a delicate hairpin can only be hidden in the box and can never see the light of day.
