Although the missing baggage boat was successfully recovered, which made the household breathe a big sigh of relief, the low pressure on Emperor Qingyuan's body the next morning made the hundred officials worry about it, and even their breathing deliberately slowed down and lightened.

There is no other reason.

Who dared to kill all the officers and soldiers of a shipload under the nose of the fleet, and unknowingly drove away the baggage ship, in a vain attempt to steal nearly 20,000 taels of military funds from the imperial court?

Didn't interrogate it!

Dealing with those more than 50 thieves, I tried all kinds of methods, and I didn't even ask a fart!

Emperor Qingyuan took a deep breath and resisted the urge to burst into foul language.

Shang Shu of the Criminal Department stood tremblingly in the middle of the Jinluan Palace, carefully reporting the results of the overnight interrogation.

"Has the valley been carefully examined?" Emperor Qingyuan asked coldly.

The criminal department was stunned, he only received an order to interrogate people, but he didn't say that he should go to check the valley!

How did he answer this sudden question?

With his head lowered, he quietly glanced sideways at the officials on either side.

I don't know that the officials who call them brothers and sisters on weekdays are now looking at each other, and they don't say a word in the atmosphere.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department waited for a few moments, and sadly found that no one was willing to save the scene, so he had to bite the bullet and open his mouth: "Back to the emperor, the valley in the mouth of those thieves seems to be nothing unusual......

Zhen Guogong's brow moved slightly.

The matter of the entrance to the tunnel, if the prince and the others come a little late, I am afraid that it will be exposed.

It's a pity that he came early, and Vice General Qiu has not yet led everyone to transport the materials to the tunnel.

"Is there nothing unusual or didn't anyone send someone to investigate?" Emperor Qingyuan snorted coldly.

The criminal department Shangshu was so frightened that his legs weakened and knelt down.

Emperor Qingyuan glanced at him, and the dragon's eyes swept among the courtiers: "Zou Shigao." ”

Zou Shigao was busy coming out.

"You will take the people and horses today and go to Pingxian County to give me a good look at that valley!"

Hoarded so many people to train in the valley, their hearts can be punished!

That valley can't just be an ordinary valley!

If you didn't find out, it must have been not carefully checked, and you didn't check it hard!

Emperor Qingyuan flicked his sleeves and retreated.

Zou Shigao didn't dare to hesitate, and after going down, he led the soldiers to rush to Pingxian in a hurry.

turned the Pingxian valley upside down, and really let him discover the tunnel that led to the outside of the valley.

The purpose of the baggage boats' supplies to be transported out of the valley through tunnels is self-evident.

However, nothing else has been found, except for the tunnels.

Emperor Qingyuan was so angry that he almost wanted to cut off the head of the Wu County Order of Ping County!

It is simply intolerable for such a valley to appear in his territory, and for the people of the valley to do such a bold thing.

Fortunately, Qin Ze and Zou Shigao both said that although Wu County Commander had been in place, in view of his good attitude and high degree of cooperation, Emperor Qingyuan exempted Wu County Commander from death and ordered him to be dismissed from his post and banned from being an official for life.

As soon as this incident came out, all the county officials in various localities put themselves in danger and increased their forces to search for suspicious places in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

This time, the whole country searched for it, but many copycat bandits were pulled up, making the people's lives safer and more comfortable.

I won't talk about that later.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

On this day, Fu Yuanlan, who was embroidering a dowry in the Guogong Mansion, received a letter.

The letter came from her future husband.

"Who?" Fu Yuanlan rubbed her ears, unable to believe what the maidservant said when she delivered the letter.

"Who wrote to me, you say?"

The maidservant trembled with fright from Fu Yuanlan's top-notch voice: "Back to the girl, it's a letter sent by my future uncle." ”

"Don't look!"

Fu Yuanlan rolled her eyes and glared at the maidservant, "Take it and burn it!" ”

The maid was dumbfounded, and hesitated to persuade: "Girl, maybe my uncle has something important to tell you in the future......

"What does it matter?"

As soon as she thought that her blooming flower was going to be inserted into the lump of cow dung, Fu Yuanlan was in a bad mood.

Rubbing the ground and putting the embroidered pillow towel on the embroidery basket, Fu Yuanlan shook his hand and walked to the back room.

Leaving the maid with a sad face, you can't really burn this letter, right?

What if the girl turns her head and wants to read the letter again?

After pondering for a moment, the maidservant had to put the letter away first.

Sure enough, after less than half an hour, Fu Yuanlan called the maidservant again: "What about the letter?" ”

The maid hung her head: "Please wait a moment, girl." ”

Fu Yuanlan spread out the letter and read it, and her face gradually turned blue.

The maidservant girl was frightened and frightened from the side, and she didn't dare to come out.

"You actually wrote to ask me if my fifth sister was in time?"

Fu Yuanlan threw the letter back on the tray and sneered, "This girl hasn't married yet, but she has taken advantage of this girl!" ”

"Girl, why does the future uncle ask the age of the fifth girl?" The maidservant couldn't help but ask curiously.

Fu Yuanlan glanced at her and snorted: "Said that his cousin has a crush on the fifth sister, and wants to ask if he has a good time?" ”

"How could my uncle's cousin have seen the fifth girl?" The maidservant tilted her head, "Girl, which mansion is the cousin of the future uncle?" ”

Fu Yuanlan pursed her lips and glanced at her angrily: "I want you to worry about it!" ”

The maidservant girl was in the first place, and she almost did something bad because of the gossip.

Hurriedly lowered his head and retreated with the tray.

Leaving Fu Yuanlan looking at the teacup on the table uncertainly, she secretly thought in her heart that Fu Yuanzhu was really a good life.

The cousin mentioned in the letter is the current branch jinshi, and he is the eldest son of the family, and he also said that he looks graceful and suave, and the jade tree is in the wind!

Gee!

I don't look at what I look like, but I work hard to praise others.

After thinking for a while, Fu Yuanlan called the maidservant back to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and hastily replied to the letter, and then went to Fu Yuanzhu's house with an unhappy stomach.

Fu Yuanzhu is reading a book, and she has been soaking in books in her free time recently.

The more I read, the more I like to read.

Fu Yuanlan picked up the curtain and went in: "In good weather, I don't see my sister walking in the garden, I always nest in the house to read, and I'm not afraid of breaking my eyes!" ”

"Fourth sister." Fu Yuanzhu put down the book and greeted him, "The fourth sister came to find Yuanzhu, but there is something wrong?" ”

"I can't come to you if it's okay?" Fu Yuanlan glanced at her, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "Fifth sister, fourth sister came to ask you something." ”

Fu Yuanzhu sat down next to Fu Yuanlan: "Fourth sister, what's the matter?" ”

"When did you meet the eldest prince of the Marquis of Changping?" Fu Yuanlan asked directly.

"The eldest prince of the Marquis of Changping?" Fu Yuanzhu's eyes were full of confusion, "My sister doesn't know me." ”

"Don't recognize?" Fu Yuanlan looked at Fu Yuanzhu's expression carefully, and said suspiciously, "You really haven't met?" ”

Fu Yuanzhu shook his head: "My sister stays in the mansion every day, how can she see the eldest prince of the Changping Marquis Mansion?" ”

Fu Yuanlan glanced at her and said slowly: "Didn't the second girl from Changfu ask you to go to enjoy the flowers not long ago?" That day in Changfu, didn't you see the eldest prince of the Marquis of Changping? ”

Fu Yuanzhu was stunned.

That Hida Jing looked at the wall through the photo, and she did take a few looks.

It's just that there is no eldest prince of the Changping Marquis Mansion in that group of sons, and she really didn't pay attention to it.

After some hesitation, it changed in Fu Yuanlan's eyes.
