After entering Fengning County, Lao Lu immediately said goodbye to them.

He also had a very urgent matter, and if it weren't for the death of his own horse, he would not have made a move even if he saw this group of people being killed.

Now because of these things, a lot of time has been delayed, and I don't know what happened to the emperor and the queen now, as long as I think of this, Lao Lu's heart is in a mess.

But as soon as he jumped out of the carriage, the woman stopped him.

She was still lying in the carriage, and the wounds on her body had been treated by the two children at will, and she was still bleeding in many places, so her face looked a little terrible.

She didn't seem to care, stared at Lao Lu and said, "Thank you." ”

Lao Lu shook his head: "You just helped me." ”

The woman choked, her eyes darkened significantly, and her eyelids went down.

Lao Lu took some of the silver on his body and stuffed it to the young man next to him: "Go to the city and find a doctor for her to treat her injuries, she will die." ”

The corner of his eye swept to the woman, her lips moved twice, there should still be something to say, but Lao Lu didn't want to hear it.

He is on an important matter at this time, and he can't stand anyone's drag, not to mention that he doesn't know their details, and even if he does, he won't wade into this troubled water again.

Leave the silver behind, and the man will soon depart.

As Sun Xi said, it is easy to find Jia Mingyuan.

But Jia Mingyuan didn't know him, and he couldn't tell anyone about Ling Tiancheng's whereabouts at will.

Lao Lu has been by Ling Tiancheng's side for a long time, he knows that he can do nothing with the emperor, but his mouth must be tight, no matter when and where, some words cannot be said outside at will.

The only thing he can trust now is Gu Chengan, or he can find Mo Yun.

Mo Yun is the head of their inner guard, so he naturally knows him, and if he can find him first, he will naturally save a lot of trouble.

He asked Jia Mingyuan to help find Ji Xiaotian, and Jia Mingyuan suspected him of bad intentions.

Ji Xiaotian is a detective secretly sent by Zhuang Siyan, the purpose is to investigate Mi Yueqing's case, which is not known to many people in Fengning County, that is, he usually has a close relationship with the detective agency, and only then did he learn a little bit of faith.

If there is a random person here, he will inquire about Ji Xiaotian's news, and he has not said his identity, who knows if he is a person with bad intentions, if he finds Ji Xiaotian and kills him, then the matter will be a big problem.

Jia Mingyuan has been in officialdom for so many years, and he is not as good as he was at the beginning, although he didn't plan to help Lao Lu find someone, he comforted him and let him live first.

This person's origin is unknown, the purpose is not pure, and it is dangerous to let it out, so it is better to put it here first, and then find a way.

It was also the old road that was lucky, he only stayed with Jia Mingyuan for half a day, and just happened to meet Ji Xiaotian coming back.

Ji Xiaotian came to investigate the case, and with him came Jiang Yizhou from the detective agency, as well as Mo Yun, the inner guard who protected them.

Jia Mingyuan immediately told Ji Xiaotian about the old road and asked him to have an idea.

How do you know that Ji Xiaotian hasn't spoken yet, but Mo Yun, who is pretending to be an attendant, opened his mouth first: "Where are the people?" ”

As soon as the two sides met, naturally everything was solved, Mo Yun didn't dare to stop, and immediately asked Jia Mingyuan to send someone to find Gu Cheng'an near Pingyang Pass, and then he couldn't follow Ji Xiaotian anymore, so he took the old road and rushed to Song'an County.

Jia Mingyuan didn't dare to be idle, the emperor and the queen had gone to the northwest, and there was so much here

Big thing, as the minister sent before, how could he sit idly by?

Urgently sent his own people, with Mo Yun, and at the same time, the people who went to Pingyang Pass to find General Gu had also left the city.

The deeper the winter, the more unbearable the weather becomes.

It's not as good as being in the capital.

Winter in the capital is just cold, snowy, very thick snow, and then that quiet cold.

But it doesn't matter much if a man hides in a house and has a stove.

But the northwest is different, where the wind is strong, the sand is bigger, and the snow is a little smaller, but the wind is strong enough to uproot all the trees.

Even if people hide in the house, just listening to the "whirring" wind outside, they feel unusually cold.

Jia Mingyuan used to be in the capital, and he was also the young master of the family, he had never suffered anything, and he was pampered every day.

Later, he became a Dali Siqing, and he also did some things with Zhuang Siyan, which can be regarded as hardship in his opinion, but it can be regarded as exercise, and he has not left the capital left and right, and he can still be taken care of by his family.

Like a snowy day in winter, Jiafu will specially arrange someone to go to Dali Temple and send him some hot soup, stove or something.

It wasn't the first time he had gone far away, but it was the first time he had been in such a bitter cold place.

When I went out, I felt like I was going to freeze into a dry freezer every minute, and the wind was so strong that it could blow the water on people's bodies.

After running outside for a day, even if you don't do anything, you will feel as tired as if you had fought for a day when you come home, and all your strength will be used to deal with the wind.

Jia Mingyuan was busy for two days because of the arrival of the old road, and only then did he arrange the affairs of Fengning County.

This matter can be regarded as the end of the matter to him, and it can only be transmitted to General Gu, and Shi Fangbin, although he is an official here with him, he can't even reveal the slightest bit of news to him, and the county order of Fengning County can't even show him a clue.

He ran outside for two days, and when he returned to the temporary house, he was so tired that he couldn't even breathe, and his whole lungs seemed to be filled with wind and sand.

finally sat down to rest for a while, but the county magistrate of Fengning County found his door by himself.

So far, according to the emperor's requirements, he has come here to provide disaster relief, and to investigate the affairs of Fengning County, all of which are carried out secretly, and on the surface, he is very good with the county order.

So when the county magistrate came to him, he couldn't shirk it, so he had to come out and see him.

As soon as the county commander saw him, he immediately exclaimed: "Lord Jia, what's wrong with you?" Sick? Oh, this winter in the northwest is just hard......"

Jia Mingyuan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay, Lord Huang is here, is there something wrong?" ”

Huang Yuan, the county magistrate of Fengning County, squinted his eyes and smiled, waved his hand back, and the person who followed him immediately presented a delicate box: "Lord Jia, look at this." ”

Jia Mingyuan couldn't be more familiar with his actions, since he came here, although Huang Yuan has not blatantly given gifts and bribes, but things like this kind of giving small things in private have also happened from time to time.

Jia Mingyuan knew what he thought, imperceptibly and slowly corroded.

He also happened to want to break into Huang Yuan's interior, wanting to know what was going on in Fengning County and what it had to do with Pingyang Pass, so some things were pushed away, and some were left.

But no matter how much he left, he just left it untouched, and stored it well, so that it could be handed over to the emperor at that time.

To say

This Jia Mingyuan is a little stupid, but he is indeed an upright person, and he will not do those improper things just because the emperor is far away and no one is looking at him.

At this time, the mahogany box had been brought to him, and the lid of the box was opened, and there was a huge bead inside.

Jia Mingyuan only glanced at it, then raised his eyes and asked Huang Yuan: "This night pearl is good, where did Lord Huang get it?" ”

The smile on Huang Yuan's face immediately piled up, he covered the box and pushed it in front of Jia Mingyuan, while saying: "Master Jia doesn't care where it comes from, just keep it by your side, I heard that this bead is very useful, and it can keep the house not dry when it is placed in the room, you said that like the weather here in us, when the wind blows, good people will be blown into dried meat, and only this night pearl from the deep sea, with water vapor, no matter what the wind, there is no way to block its light, right?" ”

Thanks to Jia Mingyuan, who has lived in the eunuch's house since he was a child, although he hasn't done a few major things, he still has some knowledge.

Like this kind of night pearl, it is impossible for the people to have it, he doesn't know, that is, there are a few in the palace, but it is also in the early years, he has not seen it, but he has only heard people talk about it.

Now that Huang Yuan took such a master and sent it to him with a blank eye, what did he want to do?

Jia Mingyuan also wanted to try him, so he looked at the box and said: "Listen to Lord Huang, this bead is really strange, but this official heard that Fengning County has not offered anything good to the palace for many years, since Lord Huang has obtained such a treasure, why not send it to the palace, so that the emperor can be happy." ”

A light flashed in Huang Yuan's eyes, but it was only for a moment, and it quickly disappeared.

When his gaze turned to Jia Mingyuan again, it was the kind of flattery that won over his colleagues: "Lord Jia also said that Fengning County can't take out any good things to send to the palace every year, and finally got such a thing, and the lower officials want to send it in immediately."

But do you think what the emperor would think if he saw it? Where did this bead come from, and why is it in the hands of the lower officials?

Besides, this thing is a rare treasure for the lower officials, but for the emperor, it is just a pearl of discovery, what kind of treasure is not in the palace, the emperor has long been dazzled. ”

Every sentence was very reasonable, but Jia Mingyuan couldn't refute it, so he followed his wishes and put away the night pearl.

As soon as Huang Yuan left, he immediately wrote a letter to the capital, asking him what the origin of such a night pearl as his father was.

In addition, he wrote a letter, which was sent to Song'an County, originally to give it to the emperor and let him know that there was such a thing.

But if you think about it carefully, I don't know if the emperor is out of trouble now, the situation in Song'an County is unknown, his letter is likely to be withheld by others in the past, and it will be even worse if it is exposed again, so the matter will be suppressed for the time being.

It's just that on the day he received the beads, another incident happened in Fengning County.

A group of several people, from other places, settled in Fengning County.

There also seemed to be robbers on the way, several people were injured, and there were children.

But on the second day of their stay in Fengning County, half of the group was killed, the whereabouts of the two children were unknown, and the carriage they had driven when they came, as well as the belongings on the car, were all gone.

I heard that there was a woman in there who was stabbed several times by the assailant and her arms were lost, and she refused to give up, wanting to escort the two children away, but unfortunately she couldn't stop so many people by herself.

In the end, she was rescued by the patrolmen who had inadvertently patrolled the city.
