The carriage drove away from the periphery of the imperial city quickly, Mei Xiaoren watched her carriage flash in front of her, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, why don't you let me go back and get some luggage, besides, I have to go back to the yamen to explain, in case someone is really there, will I catch it alone?" ”

"No, Xinyang is not far away, if you just explore the truth, you can go back in three days at most, if the person is really there, can you let the Xinyang Mansion arrest it? You don't have to bring people or luggage. Jiang Rong said lightly, urging Ah Qing to go faster.

When Mei Xiaoren said that he was going to take his luggage just now, he looked out the window and saw not only her carriage waiting there, but also a few guards on horseback.

One by one, they straightened their backs, stunned as wood. If he guessed correctly, it was the Xuanyi guard of the hidden moon platform, the person arranged by Gu Chuyu beside her.

It was at that moment that he gave up the idea of letting her go down to get her luggage. Let her go, will they still be able to go? I'm afraid that before I can get out of the city, I have already recruited Gu Chuyu to come and stop it in person.

The carriage drove fast, and Mei Xiaoren sat on the carriage with a look of indignation. She was willing to stay here safely, but it was not worth breaking her leg to jump out of the car to get her luggage.

Jiang Yi could see that she was unhappy, and said with a smile: "Villain, how long have we not been out together?" ”

Mei Xiaoren looked down and didn't answer.

Jiang Rong continued to ask: "Do you remember when you were in Xuanzhou, you inspected the river, and I had to go with it, we talked and laughed along the way, how happy." ”

Mei Xiaoren glanced at Jiang Rong, and the anger on his face eased slightly. On that patrol, she still owed Jiang Ei a favor, if he hadn't come forward, how could those officials listen to her words and evacuate the people.

She frowned and said meaningfully, "Your Highness, when will you be able to think more about others?" ”

Jiang Rong was displeased: "Why didn't I think about it, but there are people who pretend to send guards to protect you, but if he is really worried about your safety, he shouldn't hand over this errand to you!" ”

Mei Xiaoren was taken aback, she could hear that Jiang Ei was implicitly shooting Chu Yu, but how did Jiang Ei know that she knew Chu Yu?

"You ......"

Jiang Rong suddenly became serious, looked sideways at her and asked, "How did you meet?" Does my uncle know? ”

Mei Xiaoren moved his eyes to look in other directions and slowly shook his head.

"Then are you facing me and Wei Guogong, or towards him?"

Mei Xiaoren was inexplicable, "What kind of problem are you." ”

"You should know that the Duke of Wei and the Prime Minister's Mansion are polite on the surface, but in fact they are incompatible, if there is a chance, the royal family will definitely get rid of the big trouble in one fell swoop, which side will you stand on at that time?"

"Do you have to make this assumption?"

Jiang Yi looked into her eyes, and there was a moment of loss in her heart, and her avoidance could also explain her choice......

"No matter what happens between you, I can't be ungrateful to anyone." Mei Xiaoren replied solemnly, "I will share my worries for Lord Guogong, and I am obligated to do everything that Lord Guogong explains, even if it is ......."

She paused, leaning against the carriage and letting out a sigh of relief, for everything had changed because of that errand.

"Even what?"

"Nothing." Mei Xiaoren looked out of the carriage, the carriage had already driven outside the east gate, she rested her head on the carriage, and looked out of the window, and could vaguely see the tower in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xinyang Mansion, a state capital very close to Beijing, Mei Xiaoren had passed by on the way to Beijing, but did not stop, the prosperity here seems to be not far from Beijing at first glance, but there are less carriages of dignitaries and nobles.

They had met a lot of officials along the way, and even Jiang Rong's carriage had been checked before entering Xinyang Mansion, and if the prisoner had not fled that night, it would have been difficult for him to fly out of the capital even if he had wings.

Mei Xiaoren and Jiang Rong inquired all the way and arrived in front of Xie's house. She got out of the car and looked around, and saw that the whole street was deserted, and it didn't look like it should be in front of the homes of the wealthy.

The gate of Xie's Mansion was closed, and only a few family members were guarding outside.

Mei Xiaoren stepped forward and said: "We are businessmen from Xuanzhou, and we want to talk to Xie Yuanwai about the medicinal herb business. ”

Jia Ding waved his hand indifferently, "My master never does business with outsiders, let's go!" ”

Jiang Rong was puzzled: "Why don't you do business with outsiders?" ”

"It's just the voice of the emperor's relatives, are you?"

"I ......"

Mei Xiaoren grabbed Jiang Rong and smiled: "We're not." ”

Jiang Rong said again: "Then let's visit Xie Yuanwai's head office, don't you businessmen like to make friends?" ”

"My lord never makes any friends, hurry up!"

The oil and salt did not enter, Mei Xiaoren and Jiang Rong glanced at each other, shook their heads, and finally reluctantly returned to the carriage.

"Hurry up, there is still a shortage of people on the dock, hurry up and go to a few people to help carry the goods, don't delay any longer."

Mei Xiaoren lifted the curtain and saw an old man hurrying up the steps, waving as he ran, and was in a hurry to find someone.

Dock...... Goods......

What she was looking for was the "goods" they shipped out of the capital that day.

Mei Xiaoren instructed Ah Qing to drive to Xinyang Wharf.

It was getting dark, and there was a lot of light on the docks, and it was someone with torches, supervising the coolies to carry goods to the ship.

The dock is open and not easy to hide, and before coming to the dock, Mei Xiaoren had managed to find two sets of short brown worn by coolies from the market, and came here in disguise with Jiang Rong.

Jiang Rong clipped his hands, and the clouds were foggy, "Didn't you say that they only do the business of the emperor's relatives and relatives, so they should use the ship to transport goods to the dock to unload the goods, and what to load on the ship?" ”

"That's the weird part, it looks like the ship is going east." Mei Xiaoren said lightly, "They are really smart, in order to avoid the search of officials, they even thought of taking the waterway." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, how can you arrest people when the ship is gone, go, find an official errand."

Mei Xiaoren glanced at him, "Jiang Gongzi, how many times have you said it, no matter what happens, without evidence, it can only be speculation, now let the official send someone to get people, in case there is nothing on the ship, how can we explain?" ”

"What are you afraid of, if they dare to sue, I will press it down for you!"

Mei Xiaoren shook his head, "I insisted on going my own way and took over the errand of chasing people, but the Beijing Government Office has not caught anyone so far, and it is already a joke for other yamen to see, if I still copy the ship of the imperial merchants, I am afraid that I have not yet arrived in the capital, and the impeachment of me has already been handed over." ”

"So let's go check it out first?"

Mei Xiaoren said: "I'll go, you stay here." ”

"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" Ei hesitated.

"I'm not stupid, how can I be alone and hard, even if I find a criminal, I won't startle the snake, we must both leave one person below, if I don't go, will you go? Do you know the prince of Xia Kingdom? ”

Ei shook his head.

"Wait for me here." After Mei Xiaoren finished speaking, he walked towards the big ship docked on the shore.

Her body was already thin, and it was not easy to be found in the pile of coolies from poor families, so it was more suitable for him to go.

Ei found a stone nearby and sat down, waiting for her to come back with peace of mind.
