Chai Hu, who had been lagging behind him a lot, shouted from afar: "Young master, young master? ”

Bai Luo was in a hurry, and shouted in the cave to stop: "Chai Hu, don't come here." ”

If Chai Hu also stepped on the clay that hung like a trap at the mouth of the cave and fell, then the two of them would really be called heaven and earth should not be spiritual, and they would be trapped on this barren mountain.

When Chai Hu heard Bai Luo's voice, he was overjoyed and ran faster in the direction of Bai Luo.

Bai Luo was so anxious that he was about to sweat, and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop, don't move where you are." Stop, stop. ”

The anxious Chai Hu only heard the abnormality at this time, and stopped hesitantly.

Bai Luo shouted loudly again: "Chai Hu, don't come here, it's all thin clay here, and if you come over, you will fall into the pit." ”

"Listen to me, you should go back and find someone to help you now, don't go any further." Bai Luo hurriedly explained to Chai Hu.

Chai Hu hesitated: "But, what if there is a wolf in this barren mountain range?" ”

Chai Hu's worries are not groundless, this is located in the northernmost part of the northwest of the continent, and in the wild, wolves often attack passers-by in groups.

Bai Luo looked at this cave, this cave was really deep, unless the wild wolf jumped down, it should not be able to attack himself.

But even if it was really possible for the wild wolf to jump down and attack him, there was no way, and now letting Chai Hu go back and call for help was the best and only way.

"Chai Hu, go back and call someone. It's more troublesome when it's dark. Bai Luo immediately made a decision and instructed Chai Hudao.

"Yes, young master." Chai Hu also knew the severity, so he didn't say more, turned around and ran down the mountain.

Bai Luo didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he heard Chai Hu's footsteps running away.

She tried to move slowly and sit more comfortably, but there was a piercing pain in her ankle.

The right foot, which had just been smashed on the instep of the foot, seemed to have been twisted to the ankle again this time.

Bai Luo touched his right foot, which had begun to swell, and he couldn't cry or laugh, is his right foot bad this year?

Chai Hu wiped his tears while galloping towards the county seat in a carriage, and the two of them went to the barren mountains leisurely, spending a whole hour, but when they came back, only Chai Hu was left to whip his horse quickly.

It only took half an hour for Chai Hu to reach the city gate.

After Liu Zhiran finished processing the official document sent by the secret channel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the morning, he was listening to Han Cong's report on what he saw and heard during his trip to Minqin County in the room.

"After the people of the grain storage road arrived in Minqin County, they began to collect taxes, and the imperial court stipulated that when the grain was used to offset the tax, it was counted according to the full bucket, but when the grain storage people were counting, they would smooth out the sharp grain on the bucket into their own grain bags, which was called "loss". And because of this, the insufficient amount will be made up to the people until the food is sufficient. ”

"Moreover, when the people of the grain storage road transport the tax from Minqin County, they will also take out a small part, which is called: transportation loss."

Speaking of this, Han Cong showed a look of injustice on his face, and continued: "This time, Minqin County collected a total of 80,000 stone of grain, and the people of the grain storage road embezzled more than 5,000 stone of grain by smoothing out the bucket and counting the loss. The subordinates secretly followed the grain storage road and found that the grain was broken into pieces, and through several transfers by many grain merchants, it was finally transported into the warehouses of two grain merchants in Gulang. ”

"Oh?" Liu Zhiran, who had been listening quietly, finally opened his mouth, "Which two grain merchants are they?" ”

"Lord Hui, it's Yingfeng Rice Grain and Wansheng Rice Grain, my subordinates have checked it, and the head offices of these two rice grain stores are in Wuwei."

"Wu Wei?" Liu Zhiran muttered, "I remember that it was a fief belonging to the King of Jixi. ”

"I remember that the first emperor originally named Zhang Zheng, the fifth prince of the original prince, as the king of Jixi, and divided the south to Tianzhu, the west to Yongchang, the east to Jingtai, and the north to Wuwei as his fief." Liu Zhiran recalled and said slowly: "Since the head offices of these two stores are in Wuwei, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with this King of Jixi." ”

The two were talking, and suddenly Chai Hu's panicked shout came from the front yard: "Fat brother, Jiang Xin, Uncle Miao, help, help, go and save the young master." ”

Liu Zhiran's heart suddenly jumped, stopped talking, got up and opened the door, walked quickly through the corner gate to the front yard, and asked coldly: "Chai Hu, what's wrong with your young master?" ”

In a hurry, he completely forgot to hide his identity, and the coercion on his body was unconsciously released.

At this time, Liu Zhiran is no longer the polite, gentle and thoughtful Lu Gongzi, but the master of the court who turned the clouds and rain in the imperial court and was the supreme in the Imperial Procuratorate.

Liu Zhiran stood there domineeringly, looking at Chai Hu coldly, his face was condensed, and his tone was extremely cold.

Such a gloomy and cold Lu Gongzi made Chai Hu stammer, stammering and saying something unclear.

"What the hell is wrong with your young master?" Liu Zhiran frowned and asked again impatiently.

The cold tone made the air in the courtyard a little colder.

"Young Master...... Young master, he fell into a deep pit and couldn't get out. Chai Hu stammered.

"Where?" Liu Zhiran frowned and asked.

"In the pit." Chai Hu replied stupidly.

"I asked, where is Bai Luo now?" The green tendons on Liu Zhiran's forehead jumped straight, how could this Bai Luo find such a retinue with few tendons.

"Oh, on the barren mountain in the west of the county, in the pit that can't climb five hundred steps from the bottom of the mountain, by the way, the young master said that the piece he fell on is full of pits under the soil skin, let's be careful."

"Got it, don't go anywhere you stay in the county office. Let Jiang Xin leave the city gate for us at night. Liu Zhiran coldly commanded, turned around and walked towards the outside of the county office, shouting as he walked: "Hua Qian!" Bring the guys and prepare the horses! ”

Hua Qian is the most clever, as early as when Liu Zhiran asked Chai Hu in such a hurry, he knew that the adult must be in charge of this matter, he took the guy early, went to the backyard to lead the horse, and just took the horse to the gate of the county office, just ran into Liu Zhiran who rushed out of the county office.

Liu Zhiran lifted the hem of his clothes, took a little under his feet, flew directly on the horse, and galloped towards the barren mountains in the west outside the county.

Hua Qian also hurriedly flew on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and followed.

There was no one at the entrance of the county yamen, only two billowing clouds of dust and smoke remained.

Chai Hu stood in place, not reacting for a long time.

How is this different from what I imagined, I thought that I would take Uncle Jiang Xinmiao and the people in the county government to rescue the young master, but now how did it become that there was nothing to do with him, but the son of Lu who lived in the county government went to save the young master?

Also, what happened to Mr. Lu's fierce coercion and cold momentum just now?

Is this really the gentle and polite road boy?

Liu Zhiran galloped his horse and galloped towards the barren mountain.

It was getting dark.

"Wow~Woo~"

In the deep twilight in the northwest, a few wolf howls came from somewhere, which was extremely terrifying.

Liu Zhiran clamped the horse's belly and waved the whip, urging the horse faster.

As long as he thought of Bai Luo, who was still in high spirits and talking to him with a smile in the morning, and now he would fall pale in a pool of blood, Liu Zhiran was anxious.
