Chapter 199: Appearances are detached

"Ahh Qiao Ran was sitting in the carriage and suddenly sneezed, which immediately startled Hongdou, and hurriedly came up and asked nervously, "Miss has a cold?" Did she snatch the quilt last night? As he spoke, he didn't forget to glare at Pei Qingqing on the side.

It's okay for this kid to rely on them, but he always likes to stick to the young lady, and he has to sleep in a bed even when he sleeps. Next to her, she can open one eye and close one eye, but this child sleeps poorly, and she grabbed Miss Quilt several times.

Now that the weather is so hot, it stands to reason that she will not get cold, and she is also staring at Miss during the day, taking good care of Miss, thinking about it, there is no other possibility except that Pei Qingqing snatches the quilt at night to make Miss cold.

Pei Qingqing shrank her head, it was rare to be obedient, who knew if she fell asleep?

But fortunately, Qiao Ran only sneezed and had no symptoms, so Hongdou and Pei Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard those women say that when you sneeze, someone is talking bad about you behind your back!" After a false alarm, Pei Qingqing chewed on the candied fruit and said, "Miss Qiao, I think most of the people in Jinling are talking about you." A few days ago, that Lord Li secretly sent a letter back to Jinling, and I saw it. ”

Pei Qingqing seemed to be eyeing Li Zhao, but whenever he had a trouble, he said in front of Qiao Ran, who was busy running.

"A young scholar blows the wind on the pillow!" Hongdou tapped Pei Qingqing's forehead with his finger and said, "What's wrong with the third son of Li, don't wait to see him so much." ”

Pei Qingqing grimaced at her, but did not continue. It's not good to blow too much wind on the pillow, so stop in moderation.

Qiao Ran casually touched the two buns on her head, because they felt so good, she couldn't help but stay for a while. It has been a few days since they left Luoyang, and although this time it was the team of the same generation of heavenly patrols who were "forced" to travel together, the two teams were still one after the other, and there were almost no words on the road except for the necessary distance exchanges and unfamiliar courtesies.

Looks like a detached man. The word flashed through Qiao Ran's mind very inappropriately. But at the moment, the situation of these two teams is indeed very suitable for this description.

Is it just because I escorted Old Madam Fang that I don't want to offend the Xiu Palace? This was what Qiao Ran thought in her heart before, but after walking this section at this time, she suddenly felt that it might be more than that.

In the past, when these officials who patrolled on behalf of the heavens were in Jinling, although they were also "forced to stay" in Jinling Mansion and go in and out with Zhen Shiyuan, they obviously did not avoid it as much as they do now.

This attitude seems to have started when he left Jinling. Because she escorted Mrs. Fang at that time, she took it for granted that the other party didn't want to cause trouble, but now they were all "forced" to go to Chang'an together, and it was a bit too much to "avoid suspicion" like this, and the reason for just avoiding Xiuwangfu was obviously not enough.

Although she knew that she was a trouble, but at the moment her own trouble had not yet been put into the light, it should not make them so avoidant, thinking about it, the answer was obvious.

They are avoiding Zhen Shiyuan and don't want to have a deep friendship with Zhen Shiyuan.

So why did Zhen Shiyuan leave Chang'an back then? So much so that after he returned to Chang'an as Dali Siqing, these people still avoided them, lest they offend anyone.

"This Lord Zhen may be in more trouble than me." Qiao Ran muttered.

No wonder he insisted on taking her into Beijing, the two troublesome spirits ran into one place, and it was estimated that ordinary people didn't want to and didn't dare to deal with them more.

At this moment, someone knocked lightly on the wall of the carriage outside, Qiao Ran reached out and lifted the curtain of the car window, and saw Tang Zhongyuan riding a horse parallel to them.

Tang Zhongyuan raised his hand and saluted her, then pointed to the front and said, "Miss Qiao, it's Xinfeng in front, and it's almost after Xinfeng." ”

"You don't need to remind us otherwise," Hongdou glanced out the window, "That ignorant Master Qiao has caused trouble again, and I have to fish him out before entering Chang'an City." ”

Chang'an Shiliting Station, a rare case of theft of tribute has caused an uproar. After receiving the news, Zhen Shiyuan immediately left Luoyang in a hurry and went to Chang'an.

Her guess seemed to be confirmed step by step, and the other party actually took the tribute seriously.

However, the other party's means were very clever, and he did not directly take the tribute sent by Jinling to Chang'an, but took a pair of embroidered pictures of Yongzhou's tribute, and Jinling, Luoyang, and the Yongzhou caravan themselves who stayed at the post station that day were not allowed to leave.

Everyone can be a black hand stealing tribute.

Outside Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the tribute was stolen, this is simply a slap in the face of His Majesty! How dare the officials below slacken off, it is a matter of tribute, and the people have not entered the city, and there is no evidence that the perpetrators have done it. Therefore, this case should be taken over by Dali Temple.

Di Fangxing, the secretary of Dali Temple, who was about to return home, immediately jumped to his feet angrily: I don't know which bastard did a good thing, he didn't steal early or late, but he did it at this time, he couldn't get along with him sincerely!

The thief stole it, and didn't steal anything else, but also picked the tribute sent to the palace, which really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall.

Because of this incident, it is said that His Majesty also specially asked a question at the court meeting, and then ordered Di Fangxing to handle the last case before Zhishi.

So by mistake, Zhen Shiyuan couldn't meddle in this matter, so Zhen Shiyuan hurriedly sent her guess letter to Di Fangxing's hands.

Soon after, I received a letter from Di Fangxing, saying that it was inconvenient for Zhen Shiyuan to interfere, but the new Dali Temple female official Qiao could intervene, after all, it was also from the "Jinling Qiao Clan", coincidentally, Master Qiao was also listed as one of the important suspects in stealing tribute.

"Speaking of which, Master Qiao is also quite unlucky, it is said that there was a skirmish with the steward of Yongzhou Jinxiuzhuang, and soon after that, the tribute from Jinxiuzhuang disappeared."

Therefore, Master Qiao was suspected of deliberate revenge, and was listed as a key target for investigation and punishment, and has been temporarily placed under house arrest in Shili Pavilion Post Station and is not allowed to move around at will.

"This Master Qiao is too ignorant, he endured all the way, but he was about to enter the city and had a conflict with people, so he didn't have to ask my young lady to catch him." Red Bean was very disdainful, "I can't do such a thing with Red Bean!" ”

"It's just a few words of verbal exchange." Qiao Ran said lightly, "Besides, even if he didn't have a conflict with that person, they wouldn't be able to enter the city." ”

If you can't find the stolen tribute, you can't enter the city for a day, because you are afraid that the stolen embroidery will be smuggled into the city by the person who stole the tribute, and then it will be even more difficult to find it.

However, it was indeed unexpected for the other party to think of using this method to intercept the tribute team. She could think that the dart sent by Su Xun might be among the tributes, but how to intercept the tributes was the most difficult.

She thought that the other party really thought that maybe she could only take a risk, and directly turned over the tribute sent by Jinling, but she didn't expect that the other party actually played a trick and lost something from Yongzhou, but the tribute teams of Luoyang and Jinling, who stayed at the post station on the same day, were intercepted and even searched by the "justifiable".

It's only been a few days of searching, but nothing has been found, and the embroidered picture of Yongzhou has not yet appeared, which shows that the other party has not found the "dart" sent by Su Xun.

If this Su Xun is still alive, he is really a master of hiding things! Qiao Ran sighed with emotion.
