Chapter 521: On the way
Today's Chang'an City is not very good, Zhen Shiyuan frowned at the file spread out on the table.
Chang'an City has been snowing heavily for several days, and the people who used to make trouble in the past are no longer going out, and the yamen of various ministries are also a lot more idle.
As for those who are idle and panicked, the children of the powerful and the rich and noble idlers who were originally ready to move on a trip to Lishan stayed at home obediently and did not go out to cause trouble.
Chang'an City has become a rare peace because of this heavy snowfall, except for the Chang'an Mansion and Dali Temple, which are occupied by daily trivial things.
The affairs of the Chang'an Mansion are also busy, all year round, and they have long been used to it; But Dali Temple, Zhen Shiyuan frowned and looked at the file on the table and was silent.
Thanks to her memory, everyone sent the case back from Shanxi Road, and then unsurprisingly, the case has not been solved until now.
Xie Yi in prison insisted that he was innocent, and as for the little brother Dong, he also did the same, saying that he was framed. Anyway, there is no proof of death now, that is, many people feel that there is no objection to the poisoning and murder of Lord Zhao, but the real cause of Lord Zhao's death is not the poison of that little guy, which has been confirmed. The crime of attempted murder is not so serious, and what is more important is that the death of the witness is to buy the murderer, who killed the murderer, and which one bought the murderer, until now, it is still confusing.
As for the Liang Zi between Xie Yi and Lord Zhao in the Speculation Pavilion, there are not many surprises, in the Speculation Pavilion, they quarrel and even do something for the views that do not agree with themselves, they don't know how many times they have every day, if they really want to catch it, it is simply not over.
The case is not going well, and Xu Hexiu, who was arrested by him to be in charge of the matter, is absent-minded in investigating the case, after all, although His Majesty is not allowed to say about the matter of Lishan Quelou, but what happened in the end, who would not pay attention to that incident?
The mouth of Youyou can be blocked, but the people who are alive at home are constantly reminding everyone that the matter of Que Lou is real.
What can I do? Zhen Shiyuan sighed. But compared to the bad things on his side, she seems to be going quite well there.
Thinking of this, Zhen Shiyuan looked up and saw that Tang Zhongyuan was standing at the door, and no one came in at the moment, so he brushed aside the file spread out on the table, and then secretly pulled out the envelope pressed under the file on the table.
The news on Shanxi Road should be pretty good. After all, His Majesty, who received the news yesterday, made an unprecedented commendation to several officials who had cleared snow on the streets a few days ago.
The officials who were commended were flattered, and they were just idle and active to clear the snow on the streets near their homes, and they were actually proposed by His Majesty to be named and commended.
Will Your Majesty still pay attention to such a trivial matter?
Of course, Your Majesty is not so idle, but he is in a good mood. According to the female official in front of the palace, Sacred Heart Dayue was due to the news received from Shanxi Road.
This shows that the news from Shanxi Road should be good.
As for the news, after yesterday's court, many adults began to inquire. He couldn't match the adults, and he didn't get the exact news until this morning.
The case on the left and right will not be solved for a while, and it is useless for him to sit in front of the file here. Zhen Shiyuan saw that there was no one around, so he secretly opened the envelope and looked at it.
Of course, the news is good news, which has found out the trouble of the bandits who have plagued Shanxi Road for many years, and also found out the gold mines, coal mines, placer mines and stone paint in the mountains around Shanxi Road, and the whole Shanxi Road has a new look. Because he was caught cleanly this time, I heard that the Gutong County Commander who escaped before was also caught, so Sacred Heart Dayue and the newly dispatched Shanxi Road Mansion Yin were also on their way to be transferred.
The affairs of Shanxi Road are handled beautifully, not only His Majesty is satisfied, but also the people. When leaving, they also said goodbye, and this kind of treatment is not something that ordinary officials who are sent to various places to do things can get.
Of course, things aren't flawless. The black hand behind the Shanxi Road errand this time was let go, but it was not her fault, she had merit but no fault, and suddenly ran to Shanxi Road to do something, and His Majesty was quite satisfied with this step.
And that's not all. Although the mastermind behind the scenes ran away, it was not in vain on her side, and she heard that she still brought back a lot of clues. As for any clues, I can't inquire about them, and it is said that His Majesty did not disclose them.
This is always the case with Your Majesty. Your Majesty can only reveal it if you want to, so the so-called news from the inquiry is just a tacit consent from Your Majesty. His Majesty will not let the news that really cannot be spread out of the imperial study at all.
Zhen Shi looked at it from afar and stuffed the letter back into the envelope.
Anyone who takes over a case, there is no one who can't succeed, and his ability is naturally beyond doubt. What's more, this is his subordinate, her catty, he knows it very well.
has the ability and luck, it's strange not to be noticed by His Majesty.
Zhen Shiyuan stuffed the envelope back and looked at the file on the table: The subordinates are so powerful, but he is the top of the mountain but he does the errand like this, is it unreasonable!
After looking at the file for a moment, Zhen Shiyuan suddenly raised his voice and said, "Someone!" ”
Tang Zhongyuan, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly walked in and called "adult" with his hand.
"Let's go to the Speculative Pavilion." Zhen Shiyuan got up and picked up the file on the table and walked out, "Also, call Xu and Xiu together!" ”
What if you don't have a heart? As an official of Dali Temple, what you should do must be done.
……
……
I don't know if it's because of the different moods, but the way back is far less interesting than when I came. Pei Qingqing held her cheeks and sighed faintly: "I thought that this time I came out with Miss Qiao to have such a powerful skill of mine, but it turned out to be ......" The fact is that she came over to play and eat, and Pei Qingqing expressed regret for this.
The little girl's disappointed thoughts were written on her face, Qiao Ran shook her head with a smile, sat beside her and looked out the window with her: "It is always a good skill to be able to protect yourself and others." ”
Pei Qingqing snorted, slammed her chin on the window and yawned lazily: "I...... Ouch! ”
The carriage that was moving suddenly fell, Pei Qingqing exclaimed, and after a while, he touched his red chin and cried.
A little girl who can beat the gangsters to the ground and make many people fearful can also cry because of the ghost story and because of the jaw knocking.
This cry also stopped the moving carriage and horses, and the cry of the child was far more penetrating than the shouting of the adult.
"It's been a long time coming." Bai Zhijun turned over and dismounted, glanced at the girl who was rubbing his chin over there, shook his head with a smile, and turned to Zhou Shilin, "Let's rest for a night before leaving!" ”
Zhou Shilin snorted and muttered: "Sure enough, a child is a child." "If you're not happy, you cry.
However, it was indeed time to rest, and after many days of hurrying, even the men of them could not stand it, and at a glance they all looked like their faces were full of dust and their lips were dry.
But adults, you can't cry if you're not happy, you have to keep going, so it's better to be a child. Bean Book City
For that beautiful little girl, he didn't have any bad feelings, but he really couldn't like it like Bai Zhijun, after all, he had been cheated by this little girl on Shanxi Road.
Now it's the little girl's turn to be pitted, and her jaw is really hurt by a dirt pit.
Fortunately, there was a forest here, so that the carriages and horses could rest and camp in place, and the accompanying men soon lit a fire and prepared to cook.
Pei Qingqing, who had been crying for a while, was no longer in pain, she collected her tears, the child's distress always came and went quickly, her eyes were rolling, and then she sniffed and said, "It's so fragrant!" ”
I have been gnawing on dry food for several days, and even if there is jerky in the dry food, there is no freshness in my mouth.
Thinking about it this way, hot soup and hot noodles are better, even the simplest noodles sprinkled with green onions are much better than dry food.
It's just that everyone wants to eat hot soup and hot noodles, and if you want to eat it, you have to queue up. When the two girls jumped out of the carriage, there was already a long queue in front of several cauldrons.
Zhou Shilin held a bowl of hot noodle soup and sat on the small horse zha he carried with him, eating and watching.
According to his understanding of these two girls, although these two are not good people, they can't do such a thing as cutting in line, especially grabbing food with the officers and soldiers who have worked hard all the way on horseback.
Bai Zhijun walked to the stone beside him with a bowl of hot noodle soup and sat down, and said strangely: "Great Governor, what are you looking at?" ”
"Watch the show!" Zhou Shilin's mouth was furrowed, he pointed forward, and said, "It's been quiet all the way, and at this time, it's time to estimate the performance." ”
Bai Zhijun: "......"
In front of the two girls not far ahead, someone walked up to the girl with a bowl of hot noodle soup and handed it over.
"Oh, it also depends on the timing, and at this time, no valuable jewelry is as important as a bowl of hot noodle soup." Zhou Shilin watched while eating, and did not forget to comment, "These two boys are quite good, they have the cleverness of my youth." ”
Such kindness naturally can't be brushed off, not to mention that there are two girls in Ben, and the two bowls of noodles are just right. It's just that these two bowls of noodles don't know which bowl she eats.
Children eat it is the care of adults for children, nothing, but if it is a girl surnamed Qiao who eats it, it is different.
"I know that these two are holding back and have to do something along the way." Zhou Shilin was looking at the excitement, "Look at who she eats." ”
This playful tone made Bai Zhijun couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "Great Governor, you're not so good!" ”
"What's so bad?" Zhou Shilin said disapprovingly, "The blessing of Qi people, who doesn't want to enjoy it, isn't it very good!" Even he thought that there were two beautiful ladies on the road vying to bring him a bowl of hot noodle soup.
However, this play was destined to disappoint Zhou Shilin, and I didn't know what Pei Qingqing said, so the girl surnamed Qiao turned her head and handed Pei Qingqing two bowls of hot noodle soup.
The two bowls of hot noodle soup finally went into Pei Qingqing's stomach, this result made Zhou Shilin feel a little surprised, and he couldn't see anything when there was a child mixed in his heart. He shook his head and sighed, and got up in good spirits and went back to the camp.
It's just that there's no good show to watch, and after running around for many days, it's good to stop and rest and sleep peacefully.
It's just that it was only in the middle of the night that Zhou Shilin was awakened by a burst of abdominal pain, and ran out of the camp tent with his stomach in his hand, and then unsurprisingly saw many officers and soldiers waiting in line with their stomachs covered.
"This is ......" Zhou Shilin was a little surprised when he held his stomach, although he had abdominal pain, it was not too much, and he could endure it.
Bai Zhijun walked over, under the moonlight, his face was a little pale, and obviously the situation was not very good: "The doctor has seen it, it seems that the pot for cooking noodles has not been cleaned, and Master Qiao has already gotten up to check the situation." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Shilin's mouth couldn't help twitching: It's good to have an official from Dali Temple here, and you have to find a reason for your stomach.
As he spoke, he had already found his head.
The girl walked out of the tent with someone, compared to the pale faces of the officers and soldiers, she and the two jealous boys beside her were in a crowd of pale officers and soldiers, their complexions were good, and they looked quite energetic.
Seeing them, the girl came over and explained, "The oil paper bag containing the medicinal herbs has been ground and a hole has been broken all the way, and it just so happens that some medicinal materials have leaked out. She said, "There is croton mixed in the herbs, and the leader of the gang boiled noodles without washing the pot." But fortunately, the amount of croton is small, except for the noodles in the front, there is almost nothing to do in the back, but there is something, have a stomach, and it should be good to rest for a while. ”
That's why I got upset.
Zhou Shilin breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder although he had abdominal pain, it was not too much, and he could endure it.
However, not everyone can tolerate it. The little girl who stepped out of the carriage was full of energy, and her little face was as white as paper.
Facing Zhang Xie and Li Zhao who came over, she pointed at them and trembled: "You guys...... Aren't you two poisonous? "Didn't you just eat the noodle soup that the two of them brought to Miss Qiao? actually asked her to pull it into her stomach several times, is this still human?
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, Pei Qingqing flattened her mouth and cried.
The magic sound is pervasive, and the woods are very lively in the middle of the night. Looking at the crowd of people who were hurriedly pacifying over there, Zhou Shilin turned his head and said to Bai Zhijun's slightly pale face that couldn't help but snicker, and let out a heartfelt sigh: "The blessing of Qi people is really not so enjoyable!" ”
I was still envious during the day, and now I look at the little girl's miserable little face...... Forget it! Who can afford the blessing of Qi people?
After tossing and turning all night, I didn't start again until noon the next day.
"Don't stop, let's go back quickly!" Pei Qingqing shrank in the carriage and described as sorrowful, "I want to go back to Chang'an, and no matter how much I toss and turn, I don't know if I can return to Chang'an safely." ”
Zhou Shilin, who was outside the carriage, said something similar to Pei Qingqing in a rare way.
Zhou Shilin turned over and got on the horse, looked at Bai Zhijun on the side expressionlessly, and said, "I thought about what happened in the middle of the night yesterday, and finally figured it out." ”
Bai Zhijun looked at the dark green in Zhou Shilin's eyes and was silent for a while, and originally said that he was unwell and didn't sleep well, but it turned out that he was full and thought about it for most of the night.
However, Zhou Shilin obviously didn't feel that he was full and had nothing to do, but mysteriously took out a letter from his arms and quietly handed it to Bai Zhijun, saying: "A few days ago, I received a letter from home, and I heard the group of officials in Dali Temple say that our Lord Qiao is a little strange, where to go, where to make trouble. At first, I still didn't believe it, but last night I just cooked a hot noodle soup, and there was a croton case, and I didn't dare to stop anymore. ”
"Who can stand this? Rest for one night, pull your stomach for half a night, and rest for a few more days will have to kill people! Zhou Shilin said quietly, then raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Set off, go straight back to Chang'an!" ”
"Go straight back to Chang'an!" The chorus of the team behind him was deafening!
