In fact, Jiangzhou and Jingzhou are close to each other, if you take the ordinary road, at this time I am afraid that they have already arrived in Ningzhou, but the road between Jiangzhou Zhizhi Xunyang and Jingzhou Zhizhi Jiangling is a military and political road, passing through Wuchang, Jiangxia, Runan three large counties, there are too many officials and soldiers coming and going, everyone in order to avoid these rights and wrongs, so they chose to go from the south.

The journey across Jiangzhou alone is about the same distance as Xunyang to Jiangling, although it is a little farther, but fortunately, there are more traders coming and going in Xiaozhou County here, and relatively speaking, there are much fewer people from the government.

However, when they arrived in Nankang County in the south, they found that the prosperity here was not much better than that of Jiankang, and even Zhu Fatai, who was accustomed to seeing the Jiankang Imperial Palace, felt that the building regulations here seemed to be a bit encroachment.

In ancient times, there was a fixed number of steps, how big an official position was, and how high the steps were used, which were all exquisite.

However, the height of the official residence of Nankang County is obviously far beyond the regulations of the law of etiquette, it is like a small palace, and this place is far away from the emperor of the sky, if it is well managed, isn't it a small court.

In this regard, Liu Muzhi commented on the matter: "The Huan family can be said to be among the top aristocratic families when the previous head of the family, Huan Wen, married Princess Nankang, so it is not a very strange thing that the Huan family is particularly concerned about the management of this Nankang princess's fief. ”

Hagi Niang couldn't help but retort: "I don't think that's the reason, you think, Huan Xuan is not the concubine of Princess Nankang, and he snatched the family business of the Huan family from his brother-in-law back then, if I were Huan Xuan, I would definitely not respect Princess Nankang very much." ”

This is not unreasonable, Liu Muzhi stroked his beard and nodded, but he looked very agreeable.

Hagi Niang turned her face to look at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, looking thoughtful.

Two days ago, Jinu and Zhu Fatai went to the east of the capital, and heard that among the Hakka people living there, there were masters who could make Gu, so Jinu volunteered to go with Zhu Fatai to explore.

The mountain roads there are not easy for even men to walk, and it is a drag to take women with them, so Hagi Niang and others who are not good at walking the mountain roads did not go together, but stayed in the inn in Nankang County to rest.

Liu Muzhi was invited by the slave to "see" Haginiang, although Hagi Niang repeatedly said that she had no headache recently, but the slave was still not at ease, so that Hagi Niang agreed to let Liu Muzhi take the pulse every day.

Cai Tang changed the hot tea for the two of them again, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, the girl didn't like this chattering warlock on weekdays, but her attitude towards him these days was very respectful, not only willing to chat with him, but also didn't send him away early.

Hagi Niang took a sip of tea, and said to Liu Muzhi: "With your calculations, I'm afraid I have already seen something, but you still deliberately understate it so lightly, is it to test me?" ”

Liu Muzhi hurriedly bowed, smiled and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just afraid that you will be worried, so I won't tell you directly." ”

Hagi Niang raised her chin almost invisibly, and said lightly: "You don't have to have so many scruples. ”

Her slender fingers slid across the smooth tabletop, and she said casually: "The prosperity of this place is very abnormal, if it weren't for the deliberate support of the government, there must be some special reason, and who is the Taishou of Nankang County, you should have inquired a long time ago." ”

Liu Muzhi nodded and said: "It's a little-known literati named Bian Fanzhi......"

When she heard the word "Bian", Hagi Niang couldn't help but show a little surprise on her face, you know, even in that era, there were not many people with the surname Bian in Jiangdong, and she immediately thought of the two Bian sisters under Huan Xuan.

With Huan Xuan's mind and his understanding of history, what he wants to plan, he must be carefully planned, step by step, and everything must be in his hands.

While she was thinking, she gently bent her fingers and tapped on the smooth Nanmu tabletop, Liu Muzhi had already noticed her little habit, and when she looked at herself again, she continued: "I have checked his resume, he was originally Danyang Cheng, and later served as the governor of Jiang under the command of Nanjun Gong, although he is not famous, but he is very important to him in private, and now Nanjun Gong has sent him to the small place of Nankang......"

He didn't continue to speak, but the implication was very obvious, Hagi Niang glanced at him, and understood that the other party's thoughts were the same as his own.

Where it matters, you need people you trust.

I'm afraid that this Nankang County is an important stronghold for the transfer of fake official money to Jiangdong.

Hagi Niang immediately asked, "How old is he?" ”

Liu Muzhi let out an "ah", he didn't expect her to ask like this, and hurriedly flipped through the information in his hand, and then said: "Twenty-seven this year, why do you ask that?" ”

What Hagi Niang has repeatedly scrutinized in her heart is the possible relationship between Bian Fanzhi and the Bian sisters, and how to make good use of this to get more news from Bian Fanzhi.

She already had a bold assumption, and an even bolder plan.

Glancing at Liu Muyi, who seemed to be honest over there, she couldn't help but be a little suspicious, did he deliberately tell himself these things so that he could make suggestions? The so-called taking the pulse for himself, but he always relies on it, and talks to himself endlessly, always feeling that it has a deep meaning.

Anyway, he also has good intentions.

Thinking of this, Hagi Niang said to Cai Tang: "You go and ask Steward Yuan to come in, I have something to tell him to do." ”

When Liu Muzhi heard this, the light in his eyes flashed like a meteor, fleeting.

He deliberately got up and said, "Since you have something to do with Steward Yuan, then I will leave first." ”

Hagi Niang glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't pretend, sit down." ”

Liu Muzhi grinned, sat down, and bowed his hand: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Hagi Niang took a piece of rice paper that Liu Muzhi had written the extra prescription on, and on the ink that Cai Tang had just studied, recalled the special font of the Bian sisters, tried to write a few words, and began to write very hesitantly, and after practicing a few times, the pen became very proficient.

If you look closely, you can naturally see that the font is not very similar to that of the Bian sisters, but if you haven't seen it for many years, I'm afraid that you can't tell the difference between the two handwritings at all.

Liu Muzhi leaned over to take a look and couldn't help asking, "What are you...... Why? ”

I saw that Huang Xuan, back and forth, wrote a few words over and over again, spelled together into one sentence: "Brother, save me." Beautiful. ”

No matter how much Liu Muzhi can pinch and calculate, I'm afraid that he can't count the two Bian sisters that Hagi Niang met in Huan Xuan's house, he looked at Hagi Niang suspiciously, and he couldn't guess what she was thinking about.
