There are only seven people here, and although the leader has transferred three, the remaining four are still extremely unfavorable to Lu Xuan's investigation.

Thinking of this, Shen Xixu's brutal energy instantly came up again: "The body of the county lord's daughter, how can you be sent away with just three people?" Do you know that the county lord must have at least five bodyguards? ”

inevitably aroused suspicion, and Shen Xixu couldn't tell him all the people in one go, but he had to transfer most of them anyway.

Seeing that she was really arrogant, the leader couldn't entangle her anymore, so he had no choice but to send five of his subordinates to follow the escort.

"So can it be in line with the wishes of His Royal Highness the County Lord?" The leader held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked Shen Xixu.

She nodded reluctantly: "It's about the same, since everyone is together, let's go quickly, the county lord will go back and show his mother, and you will be rewarded." ”

Shen Xixu couldn't wait to take these people away, thinking that with Qin Xiao here, no matter how bad it was, it would not be a problem to quickly solve the remaining two people.

Shen Xixu left at this time, and before leaving, he specially turned around and glanced in the direction where Lu Xuan was hiding.

Lu Xuan was grateful in her heart when she saw this, this time Shen Xixu really helped her a lot.

With Shen Xixu and the other five accompanying guards of the West Factory gone, Lu Xuan looked at Qin Xiao.

Qin Wei instantly understood what Lu Xuan meant, and then nodded at him, and then took out the hidden weapon from his waist and shot towards the back of the two people by the river with lightning speed.

The two fell instantly, not even having time to react.

Qin Wei hurriedly stepped forward, and before the thieves appeared, he threw the corpse into the river to destroy the corpse, and then hid it back to Lu Xuan.

At this moment, someone came over to this side, and Lu Xuan and Qin Wei waited with bated breath behind the stones.

I saw the two people standing by the river in a daze, as if they were waiting for something, presumably the box of quinine.

Not far away, a wooden box floated here along the river, stamped with the seal of the Imperial Hospital, and it was determined to be something in the palace.

Seeing this, the two hurriedly greeted them, took the box into their hands, and then looked around with a thief's eyebrows, and saw that there was no one around, so they left in a hurry, but they didn't know that they had been targeted for a long time.

The two of them were hurriedly transporting the box in a certain direction, but they didn't notice that two ghostly light steps behind them had followed the way.

Lu Xuan didn't plan to capture the two directly by the river, she wanted to know more about where the other quinine were transported and who was behind them than intercepting this box of quinine and the two people.

With such an idea, Lu Xuan and Qin Wei followed the two all the way to a government office, which said Li County County Office, and Quinine was transported to the county government by these two people.

Lu Xuan is still a big person, but he didn't expect that the person who stole quinine was actually a mere county order.

But when you think about it, where can a local county magistrate have the opportunity to enter the palace, where can he come into contact with so many quinines, and he is so familiar with the terrain in the palace, and knows how to use the flow of the water of the Mirror Lake to make trouble?

The more Lu Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was strange, and he always felt that there were bigger people behind this county order.

Lu Xuan immediately looked back at Qin Xiao: "Guard Qin, do you have a way to immediately send a letter to His Highness?" ”

Qin Wei nodded, and then summoned the young eagles that the palace used daily to transmit messages.

"If you have anything to do, you just need to tell this young eagle directly, and it will pass on your lord's words to Your Highness on your behalf." Qin Xiao said.

Only then did Lu Xuan speak to the young eagle: "Your Highness, the lower officials traced all the way to the county government of Li County, and found that quinine had been transported here, and wanted to trouble His Highness to investigate whether the county order of Li County had anything to do with the people in the palace as soon as possible." ”

After that, the young eagle immediately flew back in the direction of the palace, while Lu Xuan and King Qin continued to wait at the gate of the county ya, so as to intercept the people from Xichang before they could find them.

On the other side, Shen Xixu was escorted by five guards from the West Factory, so as to prevent them from going back to disturb Lu Xuan after completing the task, she deliberately walked extremely slowly along the way.

Finally caused trouble in one of them, and then tentatively reminded Shen Xixu: "Xiaguan and the others really have important things to do, can His Royal Highness the county lord go faster?" ”

Shen Xixu was furious because she couldn't handle the case with Lu Xuan, and the Xichang guard who suddenly spoke up obviously hit her on the muzzle.

Shen Xixu suddenly turned around angrily when he heard this: "Urge, what urge, the county lord has long been sleepy after walking all the way, if there is a sedan chair, why would the county lord move so slowly?" ”

This is also reasonable, after all, Shen Xixu was born as the only daughter of the eldest princess, and she is pampered on weekdays, where has she walked so far when she goes out? It's rightly unbearable.

Besides, the fatigue was not all deception, and the road was full of potholes, and her feet were already sore.

Seeing that Shen Xixu was so angry, even though the person who spoke just now was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more, so he had to follow her with his head down.

However, such a urging reminded Shen Xixu that after walking for so long and without a sedan chair, it was time to sit down and rest.

Shen Xixu immediately found a stone on the side and sat down regardless of it.

The person who spoke just now instantly lost his patience again, and then looked at Shen Xixu helplessly: "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, what are you going to do here?" We're slow enough, aren't we? ”

Shen Xixu ignored it, and only replied, "The county lord is tired, can't you take a rest?" ”

She is the county lord, and who dares to refute what she says? The five guards of the West Factory had no choice but to stand quietly beside her, waiting for her to rest before leaving.

The sun is scorching, to be honest, Shen Xixu would prefer to return to her comfortable and comfortable eldest princess's mansion as soon as possible.

If it weren't for Lu Xuan, where would she be willing to sit in such a place and wait?

However, since she has recognized Lu Xuan, a friend, and it has always been Shen Xixu's style to do things for her friend, she has nothing to complain about.

She had no choice but to sit here and delay as much as possible, praying that Lu Xuan could catch the real culprit as soon as possible and return Gu Huanli's innocence.

At the same time, Gu Huanli also received news.

Knowing that this matter was done by the county order, Gu Huanli also resolutely did not believe it, and instantly thought that he must have colluded with some important minister of the court.

Gu Huanli immediately sent Lin Wei to investigate, only to find out that the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital was behind the Li County Order.

Gu Huanli then remembered an old incident, when Emperor Liang Qin ordered people to go to Jiangnan to deal with the plague, it was the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital who strongly recommended Lu Xuan.

It's just that Gu Huanli's sudden appearance interrupted his plan later, thinking about it this way, if he deliberately designed it to take revenge on Gu Huanli, it would make sense.

Moreover, the Imperial Medicine Pavilion was originally only available to the people of the Tai Hospital who could extract quinine and other precious medicinal materials at will, and among the people in the Tai Hospital, there was only this deputy envoy for the trial who had anything to do with the county order of Li County.

With such an idea, regardless of whether this matter was true or not, Gu Huanli ordered someone to go and arrest the deputy envoy of the Tai Hospital without saying a word, and at the same time informed the Criminal Department to take people to the county government of Li County to arrest the thief.

At that time, Lu Xuan and Qin Wei were guarding outside the yamen of Lixian County, when they suddenly heard the sound of the horse's hooves of the Emperor Jiji not far away.

Xu was in a hurry, and even Lu Xuan could hear the sound of horses' hooves clearly.

She couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that someone from the West Factory chased after her?" ”

Qin Wei couldn't judge for a while, until the sound of horses' hooves got closer and the appearance of the group of people was revealed, and he recognized it as someone from the Criminal Department.

Lu Xuan also saw the official uniform of the Criminal Department, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your Highness sent someone." Qin Xiao said.

Lu Xuan nodded, and hurriedly greeted the criminal department: "Quinine is in the county office, and the last box has just been transported in." ”

Hearing this, everyone in the criminal department rushed into the county government of Lixian County without saying a word.

The county magistrate of Li County knew nothing about this matter, and when he saw that the county government was surrounded and suppressed by heavy soldiers, he was immediately frightened.

"Hand over the quinine!" The trial envoy of the Criminal Department scolded Si Chaoli County Commander sharply.

Although the county commander of Li County was full of panic at this time, he still subconsciously pretended to be innocent, and then knelt down towards the visitor:

"Xiaguan doesn't know why the adults came here, but the Xiaguan districts and counties have really never seen such precious medicinal materials as quinine, aren't you looking for the wrong place?"

The Criminal Department has always been the most tolerant of other people's quibbles in handling cases, and since this matter was personally ascertained by Lu Xuan and Qin Xiao, there will be no falsehood.

The trial envoy of the Criminal Department turned a deaf ear to the words of the county order of Li County, and still demanded quinine from him unrelentingly.

"You should be clear about the style of the criminal department's handling of cases, while the official still has the patience to talk to you well, you'd better be honest." The criminal department interrogated Si Chaoli County and threatened the county order.

Although the county magistrate of Li County was full of fear, he had no basis for thinking that the person who came had no evidence, and he did not dare to offend the big official above him, so he had to continue to hide it for a while.

Until Lu Xuan came over to this side: "Then dare to ask the county commander, who are these two?" ”

Lu Xuan deliberately diverted the topic and focused on the two people he had just seen by the river.

Hearing this, the county magistrate of Li County hurriedly explained: "These two are the officials who work as errands in the county government of this county. ”

That's right, Lu Xuan immediately spoke again: "Really? But this official has only seen with his own eyes, these two people are carrying a box of quinine towards your county office, what else do you have to say? ”

Hearing this, the county magistrate of Li County was instantly frightened and his hair stood up, and his eyes couldn't help but dodge in a panic.

After thinking for a long time, he spoke: "Lord Hui and the two of them did go out, but the thing in their hands was just the official silver that the lower officials asked them to bring back, where is quinine?" ”

Lu Xuan raised his lips and smiled when he heard this: "Oh? What a precious official silver would drift down the water of the Li River, so should the official ask about the origin of this batch of official silver? ”
