Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't see any chickens, ducks, and poultry running around on the street, nor did she see any broken and lit artillery on the ground.

It's space, and the whole Sioux City is like a dead city, which gives people a sense of tranquility.

Accompanied by the scenery of this water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it makes you feel that it is not inconsistent.

It seems that the people here should be like this, every family is closed, and the whole water town is gentle and quiet.

The ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River in Cheng Xiaoxiao's memory is not like this, but it is somewhat similar.

The people in the ancient town are very simple and shy, they will hide in the distance and secretly look at outsiders, and they dare not come up directly to say hello.

If you take the initiative to talk to you, some of the timid will hide and close the door.

The whole ancient town is shy, a bit like a crescent moon hiding in the clouds, only daring to illuminate itself secretly for passers-by.

The same is true of the scenery of the ancient town, where the willows on the riverbank may quietly glow blue in early spring.

There are also white daffodils in the clear water celadon on the windowsill, and there are also plum blossoms that have not yet withered, and the dark fragrance floats in the inconspicuous corners.

The entire ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River is secretly vibrant, but the people who need to come have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty.

It's not that Cheng Xiaoxiao is boasting, she not only finds good food, but also observes things very carefully!

In Sioux City, she felt something was wrong as soon as she arrived.

Speaking of something wrong, she inexplicably thought of those ghosts from yesterday.

Today, her jade pendant is shining again, and it seems that there are many resentful spirits in this city, but I don't know if it will encounter the same situation as yesterday.

There is another thing that makes Cheng Xiaoxiao most puzzling.

She packed her luggage last night and saw that Bao Han was also faintly shining, which was a bit similar to the green light when Bao Han was replenishing Xiaoqin's soul.

It's not the same.

This time, the green light of Baohan was a green glow from the inside out, and she was worried that Baohan would turn into a puddle of green liquid last night.

It's not that her brain is too big, it's that Baohan is really terrifying.

It seemed to melt at any moment, and she didn't understand why Baohan was suddenly so desperately releasing light.

She was worried about the little chick inside, and shouted at Baohan for a long time without moving.

Baohan is like a peacock in the animal kingdom who opens the screen to court, in order to get the favor of his mate, so he is crazy to attract the attention of the other party.

Cheng Xiaoxiao also knew that her analogy was not appropriate, but who would be more scary in the middle of the night, and without warning.

She was not afraid of death and put the jade pendant next to the treasure letter, it was rare for her to be so dedicated.

Fortunately, Baohan no longer has any interest in Yu Pei, and it cannot be ruled out that Yu Pei has no spiritual power this time.

It's not about the jade pendant, and it's not that the little chick is going to come out, so Baohan can't pump his own brain, right?

It doesn't have a brain.

Cheng Xiaoxiao has to think about so many things before going to bed, if she can fall asleep in this way, it will be really heartless.

Baohan lit up for a long time, and then it flickered and disappeared like a jump, and there were a lot of things in her own mind, which led to her now having to think twice about everything, even if she couldn't think of any result in the end.

The carriage swayed and finally stopped in the middle of the two majestic stone lions, and Cheng Xiaoxiao also retracted into Chu Yunshen's arms with no interest.

Chu Yunshen, like the last time he investigated the illicit salt case, also entered the county office without alarming anyone, and the human skin mask on his face was also taken off before getting off the carriage.

The place has arrived, and the Lord is about to be seen, and these unnecessary disguises can only be superfluous.

I have to say that the officials of Sucheng County are still very good at doing things, but they politely asked Chu Yunshen about their identities, and directly let Chu Yunshen and them in.

I don't even need to check the token, and I don't feel frightened.

It's not that ordinary small characters are sincerely frightened when they suddenly see nobles, why are these officials so calm?

It seems that he has seen a lot of big worlds, as if he knew in advance that they were coming.

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know that everything she said was effective, and soon her words were well verified.

The county commander of Sucheng looks honest, with a goatee and slightly squinted eyes, which always makes people mistakenly think that he didn't open his eyes.

He looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old, his face was wrinkled, and his beard and hair were mostly gray.

Maybe it was because the young man Bai looked old fast, Cheng Xiaoxiao speculated in her heart.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and after the county order was saluted, Chu Yunshen sat on the main seat with the lion cat in his arms.

This is also the first time in so many days that the 'strange thing' in Chu Hongzhen's secret decree has been officially mentioned, Cheng Xiaoxiao must have pricked up her ears and opened her big black eyes, eavesdropping openly.

"Lord Lin, do you know what we are doing this time?"

Xiao Wu put away his usual giggling appearance, and began the questioning session that he hadn't had for a long time with a baby face.

As soon as she saw this, she knew that she was forced to open for business, Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wu's frowning brows, and she could guess that Xiao Wu must be annoyed now.

It is estimated that Xiao Wu just wants to torture the shriveled Lord Su in front of him and force him to beat him up, and then let him tell the truth one by one.

It's something that Xiao Wu did with a violent temper, and it's more refreshing to get information faster and better than slowly grinding and slowly talking like this.

Regardless of whether Cheng Xiaoxiao's speculation really talked about Xiao Wu's idea, Xiao Wu still had to follow the usual means.

Lord Lin, who was sitting below, shook his head respectfully at Chu Yunshen and Xiao Wu, his slender face was full of doubts, and the confusion in his eyes looked so sincere.

"Xia Guan really doesn't know. I also hope that His Royal Highness King Jing will give advice. ”

Chu Yunshen touched the lion cat's hair unhurriedly, and then twisted up a piece of the pastry that the maid had just served, broke it finely, and then fed it to the lion cat's mouth.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was thinking about the credibility of Master Su's words, and the next second she was poked in the mouth by this sudden pastry.

The cold sweetness spreads between the noses, and it seems to be the fragrance of plum blossoms, plum blossom cake?

But now is not the time to eat or feed me!

You'd rather be serious for me!

Cheng Xiaoxiao disgusted Chu Yunshen's unprofessionalism in trying the case, and complained in her heart that she still swallowed the plum blossom cake in one bite.

"Go on."

Chu Yunshen lowered his head and concentrated on feeding the lion cat, and from time to time he used the brocade pa taken out of his sleeve to wipe the pastry foam on the lion cat's mouth.

Looking at the pastry crumbs stained on the lion cat's beard, Lord Lin's eyelids jumped imperceptibly, and the goatee trembled with it.

Xiao Wu nodded obediently, cleared his throat and said:

"Lord Lin, Ming people don't say secret words. The prince came here on the orders of His Majesty this time, and as for His Majesty's intentions, I guess Lord Lin doesn't need me to say more. ”

Xiao Wu said it so directly this time, which made Cheng Xiaoxiao a little unpredictable about what Chu Yunshen meant.

Isn't it supposed to be a pretense?

Could it be that Chu Yunshen had already discovered something else?

Lord Lin was silent, as if he was considering something.

I saw Xiao Wu smile slightly, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice to Lord Lin:

"I don't know that Lord Lin still has such good skills, and he can actually know in advance that our prince will come. These officials are very well-trained. ”

Really!

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't eat the plum blossom cake either, she asked Chu Yunshen vaguely with her eyes, just wondering if Xiao Wu was serious about this, or was she deliberately cheating?

Could it be that it was to make Lord Lin scared, and finally admit that he had recruited himself?

Chu Yunshen didn't seem to understand the hint of the lion cat, he reached out and patted the lion cat's little head gently, and reminded in a low voice with some dissatisfaction:

"Eat some more, you didn't need breakfast."

Is it because I didn't eat breakfast that you fed me?

Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little moved in her heart, after all, even she didn't care much about eating breakfast.

However, this emotion was quickly replaced by curiosity, she still wanted to know what Chu Yunshen's intentions were.

The more Lord Lin who was sitting below looked at the interaction between the lion cat and Chu Yunshen, the more uncontrollable the expression on his face became.

He hurriedly lowered his head, which concealed the complicated look on his face.

"Lord Lin? Lord Lin. ”

Xiao Wu called out a little impatiently, obviously dissatisfied with Lord Lin's long silence.

Lord Lin came back to his senses suddenly, and he got up and saluted Chu Yunshen and Xiao Wu again:

"His Royal Highness King Jing, Xia Guan was distracted just now, I'm really embarrassed."

You know you're wandering.

But this Lord Lin is still strange and honest, and he really lives up to his appearance.

When you are distracted, you dare to say it so openly, I really don't know what to say about him.

It's a bit too honest to be honest, and it's a bit too honest to say that he's arrogant, but that's really not what people mean.

Cheng Xiaoxiao finally lived up to Chu Yunshen's kindness, she stuffed plum blossom cake in her mouth, and poked her head to observe Lord Lin.

In order to help investigate the case, Cheng Xiaoxiao said that she was really heartbroken.

Chu Yunshen was still concentrating on feeding the cat, as if everything in this hall had nothing to do with him.

In the face of Xiao Wu's silence, the meaningful smile on the corner of Chu Yunshen's mouth, Master Lin finally sighed and opened his mouth again:

"His Royal Highness King Jing, the lower officials did know that you were coming early in the morning."

Lord Lin sighed deeply, his brows furrowed tightly, and his right hand kept stroking his goatee:

"If something like this happens, Your Majesty will send you to investigate, and the lower officials can still guess how much of the truth is there."

Chu Yunshen silently stopped feeding the lion cat pastries, he put the remaining half of the pastry in his hand back on the plate, and wiped his hands with the Jinpa that wiped the lion cat's mouth just now.

Jin Pa gently passed through Chu Yunshen's slender fingers, and Lord Lin was stunned for a moment.

"Ahem."

Xiao Wu saw that Lord Lin was silent when he spoke, and quickly coughed a few times to remind him.

Lord Lin heard the coughing sound before he came back to his senses, he retracted the confusion he was stunned just now, touched his beard again and recalled:

"This kind of illness in this city is really unprecedented before."

Xiao Wu nodded subtly, and the perfunctory smile on his face made Cheng Xiaoxiao laugh.

Knowing that someone would be sent from above, and knowing that there was a problem in the place under his jurisdiction, he looked like nothing had happened just now.

Lord Lin, you are very good at it, and you can pretend very well!

Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't need to look at Chu Yunshen now, she could see that this Lord Lin was far more than what appeared on the surface.

"But His Royal Highness King Jing, this illness was all a year ago. After the Chinese New Year, the symptoms have gradually disappeared, and now the people who have the symptoms have gradually recovered. Lord Lin replied with a straight look as he twisted his beard.

He sounded very relaxed, as if they weren't talking about 'weird illness', but about what the weather was like today.

"Healed? Then dare to ask Lord Lin, what kind of medicine did the people use to cure them? ”
