In the study room of the East Palace late at night, An Shuli was still dealing with the twists and turns.

Since Yun Chi left, he suddenly pressed a big stall on his shoulders, and everything needed to be decided by him, and he deeply realized that when Yun Chi didn't leave, the burden on him was nothing, and now he really realized that being a prince is really not a human job.

Xiao Zhongzi waited for An Shuli in the study like waiting for Yun Chi, seeing An Shuli since Yun Chi left, he has been bitter, he is worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, but also very sympathetic to An Zaifu.

Mei Shuyu entered the East Palace and returned to the East Palace with his staff, and he didn't need to be told at all, and when the two of them came to the outside of the study all the way under the starry night, they stopped together and ordered a guard to say a word to An Zaifu.

An Shuli put down his pen when he heard the sound, and instructed Xiao Zhongzi, "Please!" ”

The staff sent to Zhaoyuan County returned to Beijing and came with Mei Shuyu at this time, presumably there was something important.

Xiao Zhongzi hurriedly opened the door and invited the two into the study.

An Shuli thumped his shoulder, stood up, relaxed his stiff body, and saw the two of them come in to greet him, calling him "An Zaifu", he returned the salute, and asked gently, "When did Zhu Gong return to Beijing?" Come to me with Master Mei at this time, but what's the urgency? ”

"There's an emergency." Mei Shuyu took over and said to An Shu, "I'll tell you." Zhu Gong has worked hard all the way, he has just entered the city, and he hasn't even drunk his saliva. After the words fell, he said to Xiao Zhongzi, "I am tired of Xiao Zhongzi's father-in-law, and I ordered the kitchen to get some food for Zhu Gong to eat." ”

Xiao Zhongzi also saw Zhu Gong dusty, and hurriedly said, "Zhu Gong and the miscellaneous family will go to bath and change clothes and eat!" ”

The staff shook their heads, "Don't pay attention to it first, the matter is urgent, I'll just have a bite to eat here." ”

Xiao Zhongzi understands that it is really urgent, otherwise Zhu Gong is also a clean person, so he won't even be able to take a bath now. He immediately sent someone to the kitchen to command.

Mei Shuyu told An Shuli what Zhu Gong said to him.

An Shuli listened, his expression was solemn, and he pondered, "Since it is a letter sent by His Highness, it must be that Ye Lanying was met by His Highness." This has to be done properly. He looked at Mei Shuyu, "Now that Jingzhong is stable, why don't you go there yourself?" ”

Mei Shuyu was stunned, "I'll go in person?" When the words fell, he hesitated, "I will do it, but who will take care of the soldiers and horses in Beijing?" ”

"Give it to Su Qingmian, and send two more staff members to assist him." An Shu left, "Otherwise, send someone else, I'm afraid that Ye Lanying will be cunning, so I will take it off." I also checked the Lingnan Palace, and the woman was indeed smart. For so many years, the king of Lingnan has not shown the slightest hint of hindsight, and she also has her credit. You secretly took 100,000 soldiers and horses to intercept Ye Lanying, and then personally escorted her into Beijing, and after coming to Beijing, she was directly thrown into the prison of the Criminal Department, no, into the prison of the East Palace. ”

Although Jingzhong is now stable, he is not at ease with the prison of the Criminal Department, and it is the East Palace where he sits that reassures him.

When the words fell, he said, "If it's fast, it will only take you four or five days to go back and forth, and if it's slow, it will only take seven or eight days." Su Qingmian had followed Su Qingfeng in the military camp earlier, and he was stable for seven or eight days, so there should be no problem. ”

Mei Shuyu heard An Shuli say this, and nodded decisively, "Okay, I will personally lead the troops there, and I will take that Ye Lanying back." ”

An Shuli patted him on the shoulder, "Be careful, don't leak the news, I will arrange for you to cover up as if you are still in the capital." ”

Mei Shuyu nodded, "Okay." ”

An Shuli looked at the staff, "Zhu Gong, can you still stand to follow Master Mei around?" ”

"I can stand it, I also know some martial arts, and it's no problem to run back and forth again." Zhu Gong nodded, "I'll lead the way." ”

An Shu left his head, "I wish you a good job." ”

The three of them quickly finalized the matter, the kitchen sent food, Mei Shuyu accompanied Zhu Gong to eat a lot, after the meal, after eating and drinking, the two went out of the East Palace together.

Mei Shuyu returned to the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Camp, found Su Qingmian and the two staff members of the East Palace, and gave an explanation.

Su Qingmian was a little uncertain in his heart, "Second Brother Mei, if you leave, this military camp will be handed over to me?" Can I? ”

He is a very talkative teenager, and when he entered the barracks, he had a similar temper with Mei Shuyu, so he called him brother and called Mei Shuyu Mei Second Brother. Now seeing that Mei Shuyu is going to leave for a few days, he has no bottom in his heart, he has only been in the barracks for two or three days, and he has just become familiar with the situation.

Mei Shuyu patted him on the shoulder, "Believe in yourself, you can do it, I'll be back in four or five days at the earliest." ”

"What about the slowest?" Su Qingmian asked uneasily.

"Seven or eight days!" Mei Shuyu said, "A little girl, I went with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if I can't take him, what else can I do?" ”

Except for Zhao Qingxi, who was reluctant to start, Huayan didn't dare to start, he was not afraid of women in the world, and he would not pity the jade. He has already made up his mind, that little girl makes the beauty trick useless, he is iron-faced and selfless.

"Don't worry, Lord Su, there are still us, this matter is important, An Zaifu asked the general to go, it must be him." An East Palace staff member who remained in the army spoke.

"Okay, okay!" Su Qingmian nodded, he didn't understand why he suddenly took on a heavy responsibility, he was just a boy who could make some toys, and he was suddenly forced to grow up step by step.

Late that night, Mei Shuyu ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and together with Zhu Gong, left the Jinglu soldiers and horses camp.

100,000 soldiers and horses, take the nearest road to Zhaoyuan County.

Five hundred miles, marched for a day and night, and in the evening of this day, they came to the outside of Zhaoyuan County.

At this time, it had been two and a half days since Zhu Gong left Zhaoyuan County, and Mei Shuyan and the others were eager to see through, so they did not wait for Zhu Gong to arrive with soldiers and horses, but waited for Ye Lanying's caravan first.

When Mei Shuyan heard the news that a caravan had cleared the customs, he was distracted and glanced at the sky, when the sun was already in the west. He took a deep breath and instructed the master to present the customs clearance document, only to see that the document was written "An's cloth pile".

He knew that this "An's cloth pile" was operated by a close branch of the Anyang Palace.

He looked at this customs clearance document carefully, and it was really not a fraud.

He thought, no wonder he couldn't find the slightest mistake, it turned out that the caravan that Ye Lanying left used someone else's name, not the name of Lingnan Wangfu at all. And the An clan is backed by the Anyang Palace, which is powerful, so there are some filthy businesses in it, and the officials who have endured it all look at the face of the Anyang Palace. After all, all the major families have some filthy things, and no one is cleaner than anyone else.

However, since he came to take over Zhaoyuan County, such things have been put an end to.

He was entrusted by Yun Chi to be in charge of Zhaoyuan County, so naturally he could no longer be as so-so as the previous officials, he investigated a lot of cases, and he would not turn a blind eye, but he didn't expect that this Ye Lanying was so bold that he dared to make and transport weapons privately.

He clutched the customs clearance document and quietly ordered, "Someone come, pass on my order, and go with this official to have a look." The words fell, and he said loudly, "On the day this official returned to Beijing, he saw His Highness, and His Highness instructed that whenever a caravan passes through Zhaoyuan County, it must be carefully checked. The official was locked up in the yamen for a few days, just when he went out to let off steam. ”

The master was stunned, but he didn't say anything, and answered yes.

So, Mei Shuyan ordered 500 people, went out of the county guard's office, and went to the city gate.

On the way, he paid attention to the movements of the people around him, except for the master who was stunned earlier, the faces of others were as usual, and he didn't see anything unusual.

All the way to the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city saw Mei Shuyan and saluted one after another.

Mei Shuyan waved his hand and glanced at the caravan that was stopped outside the city gate, except for the first two vehicles that were obviously leading the team, there were no more and no less vehicles loaded behind, it was twenty cars, his heart sank, and he ordered behind him, "Check it!" ”

Someone listened to the order and led a team of people to check the vehicle pulling goods behind.

Mei Shuyan also followed the horse.

Boxes of goods were opened, and sure enough, they were full of cloth.

Mei Shuyan commanded, "Shake the cloth away." ”

The soldiers did as they were said and shook off the cloth.

Mei Shuyan stared until the cloth was shaken open, the box was shaken to the end, and he didn't see the crossbow arrows, he wondered in his heart, could it be that he was mistaken? This caravan is not the caravan led by Ye Lanying at all?

He didn't doubt Yun Chi, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to deliver the message, he would definitely not be mistaken.

So what's going on?

He was thinking about it, when the first carriage opened the curtain, revealing a woman's face inside, her voice was soft and warm, with a hint of dissatisfaction, and she was coquettish, "My lord, the little woman walked the caravan with people, and passed countless levels, but I have never seen you so rude?" Doing cloth business, the most taboo such a rough man touched for a while, these fabrics are delicate, you check every car like this, turn over a mess, hurt the fabric, how can the little woman sell it at a good price? If you lose money, how should you accompany you? ”

The soldiers around rarely saw such a beautiful woman, not only with gentle eyebrows and eyes, but also with charming words.

For a while, many people were stunned.

Mei Shuyan was silent, he was a righteous gentleman, he would not be disturbed by this woman, but he was even more confused in his heart, although he had never seen Ye Lanying, but when he saw this woman showing her face, he was very sure that this woman was Ye Lanying.

But what should he do if twenty carts of cloth are really twenty carts of cloth?
