In the Lingshuang Pavilion, the county lord sat on the chair in front of the table and kept pouring himself wine. Although Chen Ziwei said that he and Li Ruofei said goodbye, it was a fact that Chen Ziwei concealed her, and it was also a fact that he went out for a private meeting.

Yi'er walked in at this moment, and it was very heartbroken to see the county lord's appearance, he walked to the county lord's side and snatched the wine glass from the county lord's hand: "County lord, don't drink anymore, watch your body."

The county lord's hand was empty, and he raised his head to look at Yi'er, who was standing motionless very obediently at this moment, as if waiting for the county lord's answer.

The county lord looked at Yi'er and suddenly softened.

"Okay, I won't drink anymore."

The county lord stood up and sighed, "If only Ziwei could be as sensible as you."

Yi'er heard the words of the county lord, his heart ached faintly, only a few days, he felt that the county lord had become interested in the horse, and he had been in the mansion for several years, but the county lord was like an outsider to him.

However, he was able to get the favor of the county lord for a few days, and he was already very content when he received a word of praise from the county lord.

"I'm going to go out for a while, and recently the affairs of the house will be taken care of by you for the time being, and this time will be hard for you."

After the county lord finished speaking, he left, without having time to wait for Yi'er's answer.

Yi'er looked at the wine glass in her hand and gently placed him on the table.

He knew that she shouldn't have any expectations from the county lord, expecting her to stay in his Lingshuang Pavilion. The county lord came to him only to ask him to pass on a message to the colt.

……

A horse galloped on the suburban road, and she was followed by several people with strong martial arts, who were running to Liuhu at the moment.

"Woohoo", the woman in front of her stopped, pointed to a temple not far away, and said, "See?" The one in front with the bell and drum. ”

A few people in the back looked into the distance and said, "Understood."

The woman held out three fingers and signaled for three days.

"Yes, County Lord."

"The old rules."

Of course, those people knew what she meant, and if they couldn't complete the task, they would apologize for their own crimes, and there would be a reward for completing the task.

The woman turned the horse's head and said, "Let's go."

So, the group galloped into the distance.

……

General Chen's Mansion.

General Chen, as usual, was writing in his study, preparing for the upcoming autumn hunt. There is also an untouched meal and a cup of tea that has been cooled down on the side of the study.

"General, the food is already cold, so the slave maid will take it down and heat it."

"Don't heat it up, just serve it."

General Chen wrote as he spoke, without even raising his head.

"Yes."

The slave and maid withdrew, and then there was a soft closing of the door.

After a while, the door in the study opened again.

"General......

"Didn't you say you didn't need to?"

General Chen was disturbed again, and he felt a little impatient.

"General...... Master Hu...... Here it comes. ”

That Xiao Si heard the general's displeasure, and was so frightened that he trembled again and again, and said in a trembling voice.

"Master Hu is here, let her wait in the main hall, and I'll go over in a while."

"Yes."

The door to the study was closed again.

General Chen put down the brush in his hand, came out of his desk, and thought: Master Hu must have come here to ask about the case at this moment. She was inexplicably worried and anxious.

Although her official rank is slightly higher than that of Lord Hu, Hu Qi is also acting on orders, and she also has to cooperate with the investigation.

At this moment, General Chen was pacing back and forth in the study.

……

"Lord Hu, my general will be here in a moment, please wait a moment."

Then Xiao Si invited Master Hu to sit down, and then a few more Xiao Si came and served pastries and tea.

Master Hu looked at Xiao Si's behavior and behaved very standardly, and then looked at the furnishings of General Chen's mansion, and not only praised General Chen in his heart, but also praised General Chen as a person who paid attention to etiquette and was extremely self-contained.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, General Chen came from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he said again and again: "Lord Hu, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Master Hu saluted General Chen and said, "General Chen is polite, the lower officials have long known that General Chen attaches great importance to etiquette, and when I see it today, it is indeed so."

"Smile, please be seated."

So, both sides were seated.

Master Hu opened his mouth and said: "General Chen, I think you also know why the lower official came, the lower official just wanted to come to ask the general a few questions about the case today, if there is any presumptuousness, please forgive General Chen."

"Where, General Hu, excuse me."

General Chen motioned for Master Hu to begin.

"First of all, the lower official wants to ask General Chen, Lord Zheng said that you have sent someone to spy on her mansion, but is there such a thing?"

"No, General Ben had already said it that day above the court, there was no such thing at all, it was purely fabricated by General Zheng out of thin air."

Master Hu observed that General Chen was categorical, without the slightest hesitation, and his expression was very firm.

"Okay, then the lower officer asks the second question, has the general ever worked with General Zheng? Have there been any festivals? ”

"No, although General Ben is the same military general as him, we have nothing to do with each other, except for the occasional bump into each other in the court to say hello, we haven't even said half a word."

Master Hu listened to General Chen's words without any ambiguity, and then asked the third question:

"General Zheng once became an important minister of the imperial court by several levels, and the general got to his current position completely by virtue of his military exploits, does the general feel unconvinced?"

"Yes, although General Ben has criticized this matter, this is Her Majesty's decision after all, and General Ben will not dare to disobey it, so he will let go of this matter."

General Chen remembered that when Zheng Kai was promoted to general, he was extremely angry, and it was because of Li Shangshu's recommendation that General Zheng had been given the imperial court and become an official. However, as far as he knew, Zheng Kai's contribution was not enough for him to worship as a general, so she had raised an objection to the empress, but after a long time, she gradually let go and didn't care.

Master Hu looked at General Chen's expression from slight anger to helplessness.

"Last request, please also ask the general to authenticate those people who sped on General Zheng's mansion."

General Chen knew that this was the process of handling the case, so she tried her best to cooperate: "Okay." General Ben is with you. ”

Lord Hu's favorability towards General Chen increased a few points at this moment, "Your Majesty will thank General Chen." ”

After speaking, General Chen and Master Hu went.

General Chen rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, it didn't involve her spying on Li Shangshu's mansion."

Dali Temple, in prison, is extremely dark and dimly lit.

General Chen, led by Lord Hu, walked into the gloomy cell.

The janitor next to him saw that the man had an extraordinary temperament and was very powerful, and immediately judged that this person should be a general. Seeing the two adults coming, the jailer immediately opened the door of the cell with great vigour.

As soon as the door opened, General Chen saw several black-clad men with their hands and feet confined to the wall, their hair disheveled and their bodies covered in scars.

Master Hu pointed to the black-clothed men: "Do you know this person standing in front of you?"
