finally survived until dawn, and the border army rushed to the post station, and it was still a general, which was enough to show the importance of the imperial court to this incident.

Zhou Ming and Song Jing invited Duanhui and his party out of the secret room, and then told the current situation of the post station to General Wu, the commander of the border army who rushed over.

Wu Shen had received a secret letter from the general army of Baizhou before, and knew that the search for the princess this time was a cover, so that he could use this to eliminate the bandits and horse thieves in the mountains of Baizhou, and the momentum should be huge and create a tense atmosphere. Therefore, General Wu organized the border army, and the soldiers were divided into several ways to investigate, and then gradually suppressed and even uprooted the Baizhou bandits and horse thieves.

Because the real Princess Duanhui was not transferred, after Zhou Ming and Song Jing discussed, they mixed Duanhui in the ranks of the little palace maids, arranged for them to guard and pro-materials, and informed General Wu that the pro-materials in the post station were extremely important, and it was necessary to focus on sending people to guard and protect Princess Duanhui's personal safety.

Although General Wu didn't know that the real princess was still in the post station, the guests saw the solemnity of what Zhou and Song said, so they focused on strengthening the patrol of the post station.

After arranging everything, Zhou Ming informed Song Jing and rode straight to the county government of Beiliang County.

According to this plan, the first person to enter the post station was the person found by the county magistrate of Beiliang County to pretend to be, and he only hoped that this Zhu county magistrate could have some brains, so as not to kill Lin Taohua if he caught him.

Bai Yuan and Hu Jianyi did not find Zhu Guangde last night, and the population of the county government was very tight, Bai Yuan and Hu Jianyi also had definite evidence to prove that Zhu Guangde did not obey the orders of the superiors, and could not rashly open a killing ring in the county office, so in the name of bandits breaking into the county government, they turned over the front and back of the Beiliang County government and the places near the county government where there might be Tibetans, but unfortunately found nothing.

When Zhou Ming arrived at the county office, Bai Yuan and Hu Jianyi had just returned from exploring nearby.

"Have you found anyone?" Zhou Ming asked.

Bai Yuan shook his head and said: "Zhu Guangde didn't return overnight, and none of the people from the county government went out. The owner, the lady may not have been brought to the county government at all. ”

Zhou Ming pressed his heart and directly explained his identity, saying that there is a will of the saint, and he must see Zhu Guangde immediately, otherwise all the subordinate officials of Beiliang County will be imprisoned.

The official knew that this Lord Zhou was shouldering the special decree of the Holy Lord this time, and he was afraid that he would indeed have a holy decree, so while entertaining him, he secretly sent someone to report to Zhu Guangde.

Bai Yuan did not enter the county government with Zhou Ming and Hu Jianyi, and hid in a high place to observe the county government's every move. She saw a nimble servant sneaking out of the corner gate, and followed silently.

The place where the official came was not particularly far from the county government, it looked like an abandoned granary, and the surroundings were extremely open, and it was inconvenient for the white mandarin to continue to follow, so he went back to tell Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming couldn't afford to waste a moment, and the short road also came by horse, so he was only a moment's short of the official who reported the news.

Zhou Ming dismounted and said to Zhu Guangde: "Lord Zhu is polite, I don't know where the princess is now?" There seems to be something wrong with Bozhigede's side, and the official was ordered to bring the princess back to the secret settlement, so that His Royal Highness Bozhigede would come to pick up the princess in person. ”

Zhu Guangde didn't know if what Zhou Ming said was true or not, and besides, even if what Zhou Ming said was true, there was indeed a problem on Bozhigede's side, and it was none of his business at this time, and the princess was no longer in his hands.

Zhu Guangde was even thinking that it would be better for Bozhigede to have an accident on his side, so that he would be even less responsible.

The emperor and Bozhigede made a scene, secretly exchanged their relatives, and asked him to help Princess Luan drive transfer, but the news leaked, and the concubine secretly intervened. Pity him for being a little county official, but he was greedy for some money, and he was forced by the concubine's father, Master Shangshu of the Criminal Department, to do this great rebellion.

He didn't dare to ignore the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, in that case, he would be imprisoned immediately. He didn't dare to really kill the princess, and if he was poked out, his whole family would be buried with him. Since receiving the holy decree and secret letter, Zhu Guangde has never slept peacefully.

He used this operation to make a name for the horse thief, and Bozhigede, an unstable Igil, made a fuss, and sent Princess Duanhui out after picking it up and slightly changing the route, out of his hands, Princess Duanhui is resigned to fate whether she lives or dies.

is dead, he can explain to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the concubine, and he can also find a way to put the responsibility on the side of Bozhigede. If he was alive, he replied to the concubine's side, saying that Bozhigede did not keep his promises and acted in advance, so that he had no chance to do it, and he also completed the task assigned by the saint.

Now listening to Zhou Ming's meaning, there is really a problem on Bozhigede's side, and the princess's life and death are unpredictable, and he can even shirk it. Zhu Guangde was overjoyed in his heart, but he pretended to be shocked on his face.

"Gee, how could this happen? The princess had already been transferred to Bozhigede's men last night, and the official had been doing this since last night, and he didn't dare to rest for a while. How that should be! Zhu Guangde said with great annoyance.

Zhou Ming glanced at him and said softly, "Lord Zhu, please come with me, I have something I want to explain to you alone." ”

Zhu Guangde did not doubt him, and followed Zhou Ming a little farther.

"Lord Zhu, although the noble concubine is noble, she is just a concubine in the harem, and the prince is only the prince, the life and death of the adult is in the hands of the emperor, and the adults should keep their eyes open when they choose sides." Zhou Ming whispered to Zhu Guangde.

Zhu Guangde's heart sank, and he said secretly, does this guy know something?

"Why did Lord Zhou say such a thing to this official?"

Zhou Ming chuckled: "Why do I say that, adults are like mirrors." What the concubine plotted, and what tasks Lord Shangshu arranged for you, the official is clear. I came to you just because I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, if you are stubborn, hmph, the princess is lost from your hands, and then the official will only be suspended for investigation, and the adult family will have no hope of life. Do you still expect the concubine to protect you then? ”

"This, this, Lord Zhou, I didn't do anything, how dare I disobey the edict to assassinate the princess, this, I don't dare to give me a hundred dares." As soon as Zhu Guangde heard it, he knew that the concubine's plan had been revealed, so he quickly cleared up the relationship.

Zhou Ming was in a hurry to find Lin Taohua, and he didn't have time to fight with him more, so he asked directly: "Where is the princess now?" ”

Zhu Guangde said with a bitter face: "I don't know about this, I just sent someone to send the princess to the north of the city." ”

Zhou Ming knew that there were many horse thieves in the north of Beiliang City, and he directly glared at him. Zhu Guangde's legs were weak in fright, "I didn't kill her, but I changed the route of travel slightly, and it is still possible for Bozhige to pick her up." ”

"Possibly?" Zhou Ming grabbed Zhu Guangde's shirt and gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing Zhou Ming's movements, the people on Zhu Guangde's side pulled out their weapons and quickly surrounded Zhou Ming.

Bai Yuan watched from a distance, and after seeing Zhou Ming's rude behavior, he knew that things were getting more and more out of control. Waiting for the people on Zhu Guangde's side to draw their swords and face each other, she snorted coldly, unsheathed the long sword in her hand, and walked over. The tip of the sword was dragged by her, making long marks on the ground, and the sound of the clattering sound, coupled with her Shura-like cold eyes, penetrated into everyone's ears with a cold air.

"Stop, put your weapons down." Zhu Guangde was glanced at by the white mandarin, and his whole body was like falling into an ice cave for nine cold days, cold from head to toe, and hurriedly shouted.

"Lord Zhou, let's not waste time here, let's chase it quickly." He said to Zhou Ming.

"Which way are you going?" Zhou Ming asked.

"North, go north."

When the white duck heard this, the sword was put into the sheath, and he flew on the horse, and with a coquettish sound, the horse dusted and went north.

Hu Jianyi had no choice but to watch her take the first step, and he waited for Zhou Ming to get on the horse before escorting him all the way north.

Zhu Guangde's hands and feet were cold, and after watching Zhou Ming and the others leave, he jumped to his feet and said, "Quickly chase the carriage back for this official." ”

A group of people chased the car for more than an hour, and it had been a while since they left Beiliang County, but they didn't catch up with anyone.

"North, north." Zhu Guangde shouted anxiously and shouted.

There was another rush, and on the outskirts of the sparsely populated Baimao Mountain, they saw a carriage overturned on the ground, and a large wooden box with a lid opened was buckled upside down near the carriage.

"This is the carriage you arranged?" Zhou Ming asked Zhu Guangde coldly.
