The two rooms were clean and tidy, and it seemed that Sun Zhengping had cleaned them.

Yun Xin and Yun Luo live in the east wing, and the others live in the west wing.

After placing the baggage, everyone gathered together to discuss the current situation in Chaodu County.

"I started to stay in Chaodu County more than a month ago, because I learned that Lord Zhao was collecting evidence related to Captain Song, and was ordered to protect Lord Zhao.

Lord Zhao was an upright and honest minister, who had no intention of partisanship in the imperial court, and was only loyal to the emperor.

But now the real power in the hands of the emperor has been in the hands of Captain Songli and Prime Minister Fang Cheng, Lord Zhao secretly collected evidence and lists of officials to present to the emperor, but unfortunately was discovered by Songli's people.

So seventeen days ago, Lord Zhao was kidnapped by a group of unknown black-clothed people, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

Sun Zhengping was worried.

"Is there an official in Chaodu County?"

"There is one, it is Liu Xiaohu and Lord Liu, the inspector of Chaodu County."

"Presumably, Lord Zhao's disappearance is inseparable from Liu Xiaohu...... Yun Yu said.

"In addition......" Sun Zhengping continued, "Xie Yuntao, the eighth hall master of the Zhisheng Hall, is also in the imperial capital!" ”

"This ......... It's like entering the den of the Zhisheng Hall......" Ichiyan said in shock.

"It seems that our every move in the capital is probably under the control of the Zhishengtang, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light, everyone should be more careful!"

Yun Yu, who has always been optimistic and fearless, couldn't help frowning.

As he spoke, "Knock knock——! There was a knock at the door.

Everyone was surprised, why did they come to the court capital as soon as they arrived? I'm afraid it's not good.

Yun Feng immediately got up and looked at Sun Zhengping vigilantly. Sun Zhengping motioned for everyone to sit down and go check on themselves.

After a while, Sun Zhengping led a short and fat man with a fat head and round ears to walk in.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Lord Cheng Fang, the county magistrate."

Lord Fang smiled slightly.

Yun Xin and the others looked at this suddenly arrived guest with suspicious eyes.

Seeing this, Sun Zhengping hurriedly explained, "You don't have to worry, Lord Fang is the most trusted person of Zhao County Order, and after Zhao County Ling disappeared, Lord Fang has been running for help and providing a lot of clues. ”

"I heard that all the Qingyue Godmasters are here specifically for Lord Zhao, if you can find Lord Zhao, I am very grateful." Lord Fang saluted respectfully.

Seeing Lord Fang's sincere appearance, Yun Xin and the others let go of some of their doubts slightly.

"Lord Fang, can you tell us more about the last time you saw Zhao Xianling?" Yun Fan asked.

"Of course," Lord Fang replied, "Eighteen days ago, the county magistrate ordered me to sort out some old case records, and after I sorted them out, I sent them to the county magistrate's study.

That night I also saw the prefectural magistrate copying some lists and letters at his desk.

In order not to disturb the prefectural magistrate, I put down the records I had compiled and left. ”

"On the second day, I noticed that there were some time errors in the records I had sent, so I went to the prefectural magistrate to explain the situation so that the mistakes could be corrected.

As a result, when I went to the study where the prefectural magistrate was working, I saw that the door was wide open, the books in the house were scattered all over the ground, and all kinds of furnishings were also smashed, and the prefectural magistrate was gone, and there were still undried ink on the table........."

"So, the prefectural magistrate was taken away suddenly, and the person who took him seemed to be looking for something in the room." Yunxin speculated.

"Maybe it's the list written by the prefectural magistrate.

That list is related to more than a dozen high-ranking officials of the imperial court, and it is evidence that they embezzled military salaries and accepted bribes. Master Fang added.

"Such an open intrusion should not be afraid of the investigation of the government, and the most direct reason is probably that the person who took away the county magistrate represents the position of the government to a certain extent."

In a word.

"If that's the case, then we can test Liu Patrol first." Yunyu proposed.

For this kind of thing dealing with people, Yun Xin felt that it was really Senior Brother Yun Yu who was the most suitable.

"But on what grounds do we come to visit? You can't directly say that it's for Zhao County's order. Yun Feng asked.

Yun Fan thought for a while. It is true that he can't directly identify himself, and the Zhishengtang, who was already full of vigilance, will definitely be more cautious after knowing that Qingyue is meddling, so it will be even more difficult to find a flaw.

"Maybe I can help......"

Lord Fang said cautiously.

"Zhao Xianling was a student of the prince of Kyoto, and he has always had correspondence with him, which is not a secret in the officialdom.

The ministers who held real power regarded them as the huddles of literati and ink writers, believing that they did not pose a big threat.

But since the disappearance of the Zhao County Order, there have been rumors that many private correspondence is related to the political situation of the current dynasty. Falsely accusing Lord Zhao of rebellion.

However, Wang Taishi was above board and never deliberately evaded, and several times in his letters he indicated that he would send someone to find his students and investigate the incident, but I had already refused.

I think I can package the identities of a few people and visit Liu Inspector under the banner of Wang Taishi.

In this way, on the surface, several princes were people sent by Wang Taishi, expressing their concern and attention to the disappearance of Zhao County Order, while secretly collecting evidence to rescue Lord County Order. ”

"It works!"

Yunyu agreed.

On this day, Yun Yu came to visit with Lord Fang in official uniform, accompanied by Yun Feng, who was dressed as a personal guard.

Yun Feng's burly and tall appearance was almost like a guard with strong martial arts.

came to the door of Inspector Liu's mansion, and happened to meet Inspector Liu with the guards out of the house.

A short, bearded man stepped forward.

"Lord Fang, you couldn't be invited in the past, why did you suddenly come to my mansion today?" Liu Xiaohu looked disdainful, and didn't even look at Fang Xiancheng with his eyes.

Fang Xiancheng still had a smiling face. is neither humble nor arrogant, and seems to have long been accustomed to such a confrontation.

"Lord Liu, these two are officials under the prince of Kyoto, and they were specially sent to investigate after hearing that Lord Zhao was missing.

The inspector has always been well aware of the affairs of Chaodu County, and even outside the city, there are officials of Lord Liu patrolling, so he specially came to consult Liu Inspector to see what clues can be found. ”

Liu Xiaohu only glanced at Yun Yu and Yun Feng, and was very dissatisfied with the two outsiders.

"The disappearance of Lord Zhao is a case committed by mountain bandits, and our people are already investigating! With the result, Master Fang will inevitably be informed! You don't have to worry about it! ”

After finishing his words, Liu Xiaohu strode away with his head held high.
