Speaking of this, Pei Ji hurriedly cheered up and nodded: "The official position of the missing official has been extended from small to large. ”

It is no coincidence that the official positions of the missing persons seem to have been predetermined.

Those people are arrogant and bold, even if they know in advance who will be attacked, and they do everything they can to take precautions, but they will be succeeded in the end.

This is a provocation and a mockery.

It was precisely because they discovered this, and in desperation, they had no choice but to hand over the message of asking for help to Jingzhong, which led to the arrival of Qi Changrong.

"Tell me, then, who will be the next person to go missing?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Ji was unusually silent.

On the other side, Han Ziwen smiled lightly: "If our guess is right, then the next target they will deal with is Weichen." ”

"You?" Qi Changrong's fingertips brushed the Buddha beads, squinted slightly, and muttered, "No wonder......"

It's almost the prefect's turn to disappear, and if it continues like this, no one can bear the responsibility.

Han Ziwen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The minister is not afraid of death, he is afraid that the matter will not end here." ”

"yes." Fu Xiang flattened his mouth, and the worry in his eyes did not decrease: "They are like the god of death in the underworld, the shadow of death envelops everyone, and I don't know when it will be their turn." ”

Pei Ji nodded: "Only by arresting the people behind the scenes can this matter be cut off." ”

Otherwise, there are endless consequences.

A few people, you and I said a word, but Qi Changrong didn't listen seriously.

She lowered her eyes, her white and tender fingers swirled on the Buddha beads, her eyes stared at the texture on the sandalwood beads for a moment, and her indifferent and calm expression did not fluctuate at all, only the embarrassment under her feet could prove how angry she was before.

"Your Highness......" Junchen hesitated for a moment, still slightly concerned and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"Displaced people, officials...... Are the most vicious things you speak of really ordinary people doing? Qi Changrong's pink lips lifted slightly, and he raised an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "Whether it is the secret letter obtained by the DPRK or the remarks of several of you, they all point to the displaced people who have been displaced by natural disasters, but do they have the ability to commit crimes......

Hunger can really drive people crazy.

But when a person is hungry to the extreme, his hands and feet will be weak and he will have no strength.

How is it possible for such a person to resist an official who is physically strong and well-fed? No matter how much those officials try to, they won't be able to beat a dying person.

There are too many doubts about the riots, and they are more complicated than in the previous life.

Jun Chen was a little stunned and asked, "What does Your Highness mean, maybe someone deliberately misled us?" ”

If the homeless people are incapable of committing crimes, who will be the perpetrators?

For a while, several people invariably crossed the same doubts in their hearts.

"It's just possible, it's not certain at the moment." Qi Changrong sighed faintly, closed his eyes, and seemed to think more carefully: "That's it, you have been checking for so long, you must have some eyebrows, bring all the existing records, and then discuss this matter after checking them one by one." ”

All the files are stored in the office place, and there is no one in the house.

Pei Ji immediately sent someone back to the yamen and brought all the records about the disappearance of the official.

It took about half an hour to go back and forth. After Qi Changrong read all the records and probably counted them in his heart, another hour passed.

Halfway through, Han Ziwen had to leave first due to something.

During this time, the rest of the people did not disturb and stayed quietly in their place.

Qi Changrong closed the last volume and asked Pei Ji, "Recently, have strange forces entered Jianzhou?" ”

Pei Ji pondered for a while, and Fang slowly shook his head: "I don't know, although the southeast land is remote, it is also the only way from Lincheng to the imperial city. ”

There are many forces in the city, and there are many businessmen among them, and the caravans come and go, and it is impossible to find out everyone.

"Then there are people with strange whereabouts and deliberately staying in Jianzhou?"

Pei Ji made a mistake and lowered his head in some shame.

Listening to her words, Fu Xiang thought carefully.

In order to investigate, he often traveled everywhere, went to many places, and left an eyeliner in almost every small city in Jianzhou.

Therefore, compared to Pei Ji, who is obsessed with trivial matters of official business, he knows better.

"There are no caravans that deliberately stay, but caravans that frequently enter and leave Jianzhou......" Fu Xiang paused: "Yes, and there is more than one team." ”

Qi Changrong narrowed his eyes: "Caravan? Everyone knows that the southeast is a place where natural disasters are frequent, how can a caravan come here? ”

Junchen was a little unsure: "Want to make a fortune from natural disasters?" ”

There is no better explanation than that.

Qi Changrong shook his head and only said, "Master Fu will draw up a list of the caravans you know, closely observe their whereabouts, don't startle the snake." ”

"Let's stop for the time being, and wait for Master Fu to draw up the list."

However, after a while, only Junchen and Qi Changrong were left in the conference hall.

Junchen yawned lazily, not surprised by her rush to people.

"Your Highness, deliberately supporting them, is there anything you can't say in front of them?"

Qi Changrong, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses: "They may not necessarily understand it." ”

"If you don't say it, they don't even have a chance to understand." Jun Chen glanced at her: "It seems that no matter who you are, you must develop a suspicious temperament in the royal family." ”

"Hmm." Qi Changrong didn't deny it, and nodded seriously, "If the royal family is not suspicious, can it still be called the family of the God King?" ”

“……”

He was speechless.

Seeing that he was eating and shutting up, Qi Changrong curled the corners of his lips invisibly.

There is a sentence that is not spoken.

To him, she was not suspicious at all.

……

The natural disaster continued, and after the yellow sand blew, the streets were completely new in just a few hours.

The shops on both sides of the street have reopened, and there are not many pedestrians coming and going, and even fewer people coming in to pick up things.

After a while, I saw the shopkeeper move a small bench and sit in front of the door, boredly counting the ants on the ground and the flying insects in the sky.

What a desolate scene.

In the small Huangsha City, there is only one street that is the most lively, and it is even more crowded with people when it comes to meals.

Most of them were old men and children who were helpless, they were ragged, miserable, scorched and thin.

Qi Changrong and Jun Chen were mixed in civilian clothes.

It didn't take long for them to discover what made the street so lively.

Since the advent of natural disasters, a porridge tent has been erected here under the arrangement of the imperial court to serve two porridge meals a day.

Smoke rose from behind the porridge tent, and after a while, the aroma of white rice porridge filled the air, and the crowd began to stir slightly, and the sound of hungry stomachs could be heard everywhere.

But no one made trouble, and when several people worked together to bring out several large pots of gruel, there was already a long queue outside.

Qi Changrong instructed the little guy next to him: "Go, line up and bring half a bowl to Lone." ”

The little guy didn't know what he meant, but he still trotted to line up.

Half an hour later, the little guy finally came over cautiously with a bowl of gruel.

Shi Chun tested the poison with a silver spoon, and only after confirming that there was no problem did he hand it over to Qi Changrong.

It is said to be porridge, in fact, it is not much different from the clear water, there are a few grains of rice in it, but fortunately, there are some other coarse foods mixed with it, and the small amount of food can barely satisfy the stomach.

Qi Changrong took a sip, frowned tightly in the next second, and spit it out in his mouth or swallow.

"Something wrong with the porridge?" Shi Chun was taken aback: "Your Highness, spit it out......"

Qi Changrong raised his hand and signaled to Shi Chun to be restless.

In front of everyone, she swallowed one bite after another.

"It's fine, it's just a little bitter."

The little guy breathed a sigh of relief and said boldly: "Jianzhou's good porridge is like this, because of the bad climate, Master Pei instructed the cook to add some common heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs to it. ”

"Pei Ji is smart." As soon as Qi Changrong made a comment, the little guy immediately nodded fiercely in agreement.

Come to think of it, in the eyes of the people in the southeast, Pei Ji is their food and clothing, parents, and praising him, they are like eating honey.

Qi Changrong couldn't help but smile.

On the same day, when Fu Xiang sent the list, Qi Changrong asked more: "How long can the food in the city last?" ”

After sending the list, Fu Xiang planned to turn around and leave.

Leng Buding was asked like this, and he couldn't react immediately.

Qi Changrong smiled and said again: "Gu saw the porridge tent in the city today, if it is supplied like this every day, how long can the grain in the granary of the official government last?" ”

It's okay if she doesn't laugh, when she laughs, Fu Xiang only feels creepy.

Hurriedly lowered his head to hide the gaffe on his face: "I can hold on for about a month." ”

After January, it's impossible to say what the city will look like.

Fortunately, I heard that the relief food from the DPRK and China was on the way, and it was no problem to hold on to the relief food.

Qi Changrong nodded and said no more.

Seeing this, confirming that she would not speak suddenly, Fu Xiang left with interest.

As soon as he left, Qi Changrong beckoned to Jun Chen and motioned for him to approach: "General, you come here with your ears, you have something to say." ”

"What's not to say? God mysterious. Jun Chen raised his head and looked out, having said that, the other person had already approached Qi Changrong and made a deferential look.

After she finished speaking, Junchen sat up straight unhurriedly, and then shook his head: "No, the emperor ordered me to protect your safety." ”

I don't know if it's his delusion, but I always feel that the fragrance on her body is particularly strong today.

A big man, why do you want to use such a strong incense powder?

Qi Changrong tried to reason with him: "At this time, it is more important than Lone's safety, and besides, if Lone stays in the mansion for a long time, what danger can there be?" ”

"Nope." Jun Chen shook his head: "Your Majesty also said that no matter what happens, your safety should be the main thing." ”

Qi Changrong was suspicious: "When did the general become so obedient?" ”

And he still listened to the words of Emperor Jin An.

It's not normal, it's so abnormal.

Jun Chen smiled shallowly, and his expression was extremely unshy: "At this time." ”

There is a saying that the arm can't twist the thigh, and what Qi Changrong decides will never change.

In the end, Jun Chen was persuaded in the end, and dragged Jiang You, who was recuperating from his injuries, from the hospital bed before leaving: "During this time, you will protect the safety of Your Highness, if she is missing a hair, you will come to see me." ”
