Chapter 238. Retreat

The second meeting with the county lord of Lingshuang was very formal, there were more than a dozen maids standing in the originally empty hall, and under the crowd of everyone, the lord of Lingshuang with only a hairpin and white flowers on his head looked even more delicate. After taking a seat with Chu Yunfei as the guest of honor, she said lightly: "Inviting the son to come, there is originally something very important to say. It's just that...... I heard that there was an accident in Lord Su's mansion, who was taken captive? In broad daylight, how could anyone be so bold? ”

"Ordinary people naturally don't think like this." Chu Yunfei said lightly, he didn't seem to want to continue on this topic, "The county lord invites you, I don't know what is important?" Please ask the lord to command. ”

Ling Shuang frowned. It was no wonder that she was so displeased, how could someone as noble as her dare to speak to her in such a tone? Her eyes narrowed, and she said coldly: "Originally, there were some things that I wanted to ask Gongzi Chu, but now it seems that there is no need, Gongzi Chu ......"

"County Lord......" The older woman standing to her right hurriedly stopped her.

The county lord's arm was raised to stop the woman from continuing, and she said coldly: "Our surname is Chai, and we are not good at asking for people casually. Chu Gongzi has something to worry about, even if he is willing to help, he will inevitably be distracted, instead of being half-hearted, it is better to ask Chu Gongzi to go back. ”

Dealing with women is really troublesome. Chu Yunfei couldn't help but cry bitterly in his heart, obviously he was fine before, but suddenly he changed his hexagram. But at the moment, he didn't plan to give in, he crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said lightly: "Even if the county lord doesn't invite me to come, I will come to visit." The whereabouts of a friend of mine are at stake in this matter. Not long ago, I received a letter. I would like to ask the county lord to take a look at this gilded envelope, whether it looks familiar. ”

Chu Yunfei handed the envelope to the maid beside him. Ling Shuang gave a cold look, and that reaction undoubtedly said everything, she asked rhetorically, "This looks very similar to our usual prayer post, but is there anything strange about this?" There are many such things in the capital. Chu Gongzi wants this thing, why don't we send you a few boxes? ”

"When I need to, I will naturally speak, but now I just want to confirm my suspicions." Chu Yunfei put away the post that Ling Shuang had returned, and got up to say goodbye: "Since this is the case, then it is inconvenient for me to disturb." If there is nothing special. ”

Ling Shuang looked at Chu Yunfei's back with some anger, and almost wrung the handkerchief in his hand. The servant woman standing beside her whispered comfortingly: "The county lord is a little anxious. Anyway, he is also a person sent by the emperor, and the county lord has asked him, isn't it good to be wronged for the time being? Looking at his appearance, it is clear that there is still some misunderstanding about the county lord, do you want to ......?"

"No need." Ling Shuang said hatefully: "Just let him go." Isn't it just a threatening letter? What's all the fuss about? We are also people who have seen strong winds and waves. Chu Yunfei, Chu Yunfei, hum, it's best not to let me see you again in this life. You arrogant boy with no one in your eyes! ”

The servant's brow was still furrowed, but she only sighed slightly. The county lord seemed to respect her very much, and couldn't help but take her hand and sighed, "Don't worry." I've always been measured. This time, it is not good to alarm the official family. You must know that our Chai family ...... after all It's a thorn in the side of their Zhao family, who knows if they're coming at us? ”

Sunan has been working hard to find the whereabouts of the orchid, and Luoyang City has begun to investigate from house to house. Is it just that it works? Chu Yunfei sighed, if those people had the intention to hide the orchid, it would not be easy to find out. The only way to save Orchid is to find the relics as soon as possible.

"After all, there are still people staring at this big piece of fat." Sunan sighed, and he said repeatedly: "It's all because I didn't think it through, and I was able to let people take people away under my nose." A thousand mistakes......"

Chu Yunfei shook his head expressionlessly: "If someone has intentions, no matter how much we take precautions, they still have a chance." It is better to find out the whereabouts of the relics as soon as possible. Those people won't embarrass her for the time being. ”

"Could it be that the son already has a clue?" Sunan looked at his eyes and grabbed Chu Yunfei's shoulder and shook it.

"Although I don't have a clue at the moment, I can find some clues." Chu Yunfei sighed, turned around and returned to his desk.

It's time to give yourself a quiet moment and think about it. Chu Yunfei spread out the pile of files, and at the same time took out the burned cloth that he had obtained from Mrs. Xiang, as well as the jade the size of a fingernail. Sunan left with a lot of interest.

What was Luoyang like twenty years ago? Everything in the dossier is very vague, and according to the above records, there seems to be nothing special about Madame Xiang's family, but it is an ordinary medium-sized family engaged in the spice business. According to Mrs. Xiang, their house is dedicated to relics. Such an ordinary person, if they have relics, how can they publicize it? That's something that a lot of people are jealous of. What's even more strange is that since her family is so ordinary, where did she get the relics?

Until the middle of the night, Chu Yunfei couldn't sort out his head. Until a cup of tea was placed in front of him, Chu Yunfei subconsciously took it and sighed: "It seems that time can really change everything." What's next? ”

"Why are you so anxious?" Mei Yingxue's voice suddenly sounded, he took the piece of residual jade in Chu Yunfei's hand, and said lightly: "The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, so it's better to take a rest first." ”

Chu Yunfei looked at Mei Yingxue with surprise on his face, almost a little unable to believe his eyes. There will be no mistake, standing in front of him is indeed Mei Yingxue, who came in the dust. He stood up excitedly and said repeatedly, "Why are you here?" How do you send someone to report in advance? ”

"If you are not in the capital, how can my life be good? And in the capital...... There have been some cases recently, and I always feel that it is related to your trip to Luoyang, so I came right away. Why don't you see Miss Hu? You brought her here, but you stabbed the hornet's nest. Mei Yingxue took off her cloak.

"It's not just a hornet's nest, now she's gone." Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that it was better to come here alone.

It's probably another sleepless night. Without waiting for Chu Yunfei's orders, the considerate Su Tian'er immediately ordered someone to bring a supper. After the initial silence, Chu Yunfei slowly told Mei Yingxue about what happened here.
