When Gu Fanghua took a reserved step, she was followed by four flower-like maid rings and two chamberlains. When they entered the main hall, all the officials knelt down and bowed.

"County Lord Wan'an!"

"Get up!"

Gu Fanghua sat down on the first paragraph, let go majestically, and the group of officials below got up.

All of them raised their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and they didn't dare to come out, and occasionally a bold person looked up quietly, and was also photographed by Guanghua, the lord of Mingzhu County, and lowered his head.

Gu Fanghua glanced at it, all of them were honest as quails, and they were a little annoyed.

"The lord of this county is just passing through Tongzhou, and he happened to bump into Hu Luo's evil deeds, and the imperial court will soon send someone to thoroughly investigate the matter of Tongjing Straight Road and Cangnan Mountain. If you know anything, you can report it. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Fanghua changed his words and said with a smile: "In this case, whether it is to make meritorious contributions or to make meritorious contributions, everyone can be more down-to-earth." ”

Among the officials and dependents, Mrs. Yi of Shutong Prefecture has the highest grade and the oldest.

She was forty miles away, her body was weak, she stood up tremblingly, and saluted: "The county lord is clearly checked, and the concubine is the wife of Yi Jian, the garrison of Tongzhou. In Tongzhou, Hu Luo covered the sky with one hand, and his subordinates dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. ”

Gu Fanghua glanced at Mrs. Yi lightly, and did not speak if she was smiling.

Mrs. Yi only felt that a cold light swept like a sharp knife, and she couldn't help but "plop" and knelt down, lying on the ground and unable to get up.

"Zimei, help Mrs. Yi up. The lord of this court does not understand this matter in the court. It's just that the government Yin and the garrison, one article and one martial arts, how dare they be angry and dare not speak, the lord of this county is not easy to agree. ”

Mrs. Yi, who had just been dragged back to her seat by Zimei, saw that she was about to kneel down again.

Gu Fanghua raised his hand and said: "Okay, it's not easy for the county lord to ask about Tongzhou matters, since you have all come to greet him, then step down!" ”

After waiting for Xiaoyuanzi and them to lead these officials out, Gu Fanghua immediately stood up and couldn't wait to say, "Let's go!" ”

A low-key carriage drove out of Hufu, guarded by guards on the front and back, left and right, and when traveling in such a battle, pedestrians and carriages on the street gave way one after another.

When he went out of the city all the way to Hantan, Zhong Taojiao helped Gu Fanghua get out of the carriage.

Wow! Between the green mountains and green waters, a small stream winds down to the depression at the foot of the mountain, forming a pool.

The water is crystal clear, and the small fish swimming happily in the water in the sun are clearly visible. The small fish is translucent, palm-sized, and every piece of fish scale on its body is clear and cute.

"Wow! Brother Zhong, how do you know that there are good things here? It's cold! ”

Gu Fanghua shouted, grabbed his arm and began to reach out to catch the fish. Zhong Zibin couldn't stop it, and sure enough, Gu Fanghua instantly withdrew his hand, the water was too cold.

Zhong Zibin looked at Gu Fanghua, who was wiping his hands, and said helplessly: "Mingzhu, you are too anxious." It's a cold pool, and it's cold and biting on dog days. I heard that Hu Luo sent people to guard here all the year round, so I came here to see it. ”

Gu Shinian frowned and said, "Meaning, the fish here are all raised by Hu Luo to eat for himself?" ”

"It's not that he raised it, this pool of water has only been formed in recent years, and fish are also born. It is said that the fish is very delicious, but the quantity is not much, and July and August are the ripening period, but it is only the size of a palm. ”

As soon as Zhong Zibin heard about it, he thought of the delicious pearls and Jiaojiao, so he simply sent someone to guard them and bring them over.

Xiao Yao also said in amazement: "Between the mountains and rivers, there are often gifts from nature. It is estimated that there is a cold spring and this fish in the belly of Cangnan Mountain, and I don't know how to diarrhea, and this spring water flows down and becomes a cold story. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something, but seeing that there were many people now, he kept silent for the time being.

Yan Qihuo is also relatively rare, touching the water and exclaiming: "Ouch! This water is so cold! What about nets? Grab the net, the fish and soup will be delicious! ”

Zhong Zibin was already ready, took out a few nets and handed them to Yan Qihuo and Gu Fanghua, as well as Jiaojiao, who was anxious.

"Don't worry, wait for the fire to come up and then fish, otherwise the fish will die if you don't have a puff of incense."

Lu Fei and Lu Chang are good at cooking, and they have already skillfully dug the stove to make a fire, and then took out the purple clay pot brought from Hufu, washed it and prepared it with water.

"County Lord, catch three first, you can make fish soup, and wait for the fish to be baked."

"Okay!"

Yan Rongling and the others stood by the pool, looking at the few people who were rolling up their sleeves and concentrating on catching fish. Maybe it's the green mountains on both sides of the strait, maybe it's the cold water, even at noon, I feel particularly cool.

Xiao Yao motioned for Yan Rongling to take a step to speak, and the two of them went upstream along the waterhole.

Walking out of the way, Xiao Yao said: "Rong Ling, I expect that what is hidden in Cangnan Mountain should be a weapons workshop. ”

"Really?"

It's no wonder that Yan Rongling was a little surprised, because the Great Zhou Law Decree clearly stipulates. Private individuals are not allowed to cast weapons, and if there are those who make weapons privately, they will be punished as conspiracy.

Xiao Yao nodded: "I have been thinking before, what is hidden on this Cangnan Mountain?" Originally, I thought it would be a mine, but now that I see Han Tan, I am eight points sure, it is a weapons workshop. ”

Yan Rongling frowned and said, "Xiao Yao, do you have a basis?" ”

"To cast weapons, you need to burn them in a furnace and temper them in cold water. I estimate that Cangnan Mountain is blessed, I don't know whether it is natural or artificially built, it turns out to be hollow in the belly of the mountain. Hu Luo used this place to cast weapons, and it was inevitable that there would be traces, so someone would blow up this place. ”

What Xiao Yao said was well-founded and reasonable, and Yan Rongling also felt that it was very possible.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Now it seems that most of the craftsmen who cast weapons have been buried in the mountains." However, since it is a forged weapon, a large amount of iron and charcoal will be transported up the mountain, and such people will not be killed. ”

Xiao Yao added: "If what I expected is correct, you can check the Tongzhou Geographical Chronicle, and there should be a discovery." ”

Yan Rongling smiled when he heard this: "It's good to have you by your side." Xiao Yao, what are your plans after the title of the Autumn Gold List this time? I want you to be with me for a long time now, but there are still two years before the king opens the mansion. ”

Xiao Yao took out a folding fan from his waist and knocked it on the palm of his hand.

Frank and fair: "Rong Ling, I won't tell you, I shouldn't be out for the time being." I haven't been home for two years, my grandmother is old, and I want to go back for the New Year this year. ”

After a pause, Xiao Yao showed a smile again, and said with a smile: "When I come back, I hope that the prince will leave me the position of the chief historian of the palace." ”

Yan Rongling was overjoyed and arched his hand: "At that time, we will definitely greet each other." ”

Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and shook Yan Rongling: "Wind and rain together!" ”

"Never give up!"

Yan Rongling also solemnly made a promise.

The two stood side by side, looking at Gu Fanghua who was having a lot of fun on the side of Han Tan, and they couldn't help but smile at the corners of their mouths.

Yan Rongling suddenly asked, "What do you think of Ye Shisan, Xiao Yao?" ”

Xiao Yao pondered for a moment and said: "Ye Thirteen Jinglun is very solid in science, and he is quite tactful. If the Toad Palace wins the laurels in the future, it can be used by Rong Ling, and it will definitely be a pillar of talent. It's just~"
