Although Jingzhou City is a city specially ordered by His Majesty to build, it has been sparsely populated since a small war, and the streets are no longer as prosperous as Jinling City. Although the city is based on streets, as far as the eye can see, the sand on the ground swept up by the wind is to cover the entire Jingzhou city with a thin layer of dust, or in other words, sand.

"This place is so desolate and detached, are you sure that Mrs. Zhang came to Jingzhou with her children?" Duan Xichen probed around the dilapidated surroundings.

"Yes. At first, it was his subordinates who saw Mrs. Zhang driving a carriage to Jingzhou. ”

Suddenly, an unknown pain seeped into his heart, Duan Xichen violently raised a hand to support the city wall on the side, and coughed slightly. Seeing the scene, Feng Lichen quickly supported him, "My lord...... What happened to you? ”

Duan Xichen shook his hand, "It's okay, let's go find Mrs. Zhang first." ”

"Yes."

"Brother, do you have anything to eat?" Suddenly, a little girl in tattered clothes rushed up to them. Feng Liji seemed to step forward to say something, but was stopped by Duan Xichen, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he leaned down and took out a silver tael from his pocket, "There is a silver ingot here, take it to buy food." "The girl tried to take it, but was taken away by a woman who came out of nowhere." And what did I say to you? Who told you to take other people's things? The women were also generally ragged, afraid of poor people, she turned to look at Duan Xichen, "I'm sorry!" The little girl is not sensible, if you dirty your eyeliner, we will ......" She probably noticed the appearance of Duan Xichen and Feng Liji, and her expression changed suddenly.

Duan Xichen was taken aback, "Mrs. Zhang?!" ”

"No, no, you recognized the wrong person! Walk.. She urged the little girl to leave, but was blocked by the wind.

"Madame, stay here!" Duan Xichen walked over quickly, looked at the slightly sloppy mother and daughter in front of him, and said, "Mrs. Zhang...... But what difficulties did you encounter? ”

"I ......"

"Didn't you come here to join your family? How can Madame explain this situation? Duan Xichen knew that she had a secret in her heart, but Mrs. Zhang didn't tell the truth for some reason.

Seeing that she was silent, Feng Liji added, "Mrs. Zhang, if you tell the truth, the adults will definitely find out the cause of Master Zhang's death and give you justice, and at that time, you don't have to suffer anymore." Mrs. Zhang looked at the little girl who was snuggling with love in her eyes, as if she couldn't bear to see her go on like this again, and unconsciously finally opened her mouth, "Adults will really make our mother and daughter no longer suffer and suffer?" ”

"Seriously."

Seeing Duan Xichen's affirmation, Mrs. Zhang relaxed a little in her heart, "Three months ago, for some reason, a group of people who had never known each other entered the mansion, and then the master entered the study with the person who took the lead and didn't know what to say, who knew that it was the disaster of death." Three days later, overnight, the old man was killed by several assassins. Then someone framed the old man for being an improper official and paid the silver pieces privately, so His Majesty sealed this mansion, and we had to go to Jingzhou......" Mrs. Zhang said as she sobbed. Duan Xichen's eyes were a little subtle, he stepped forward and stroked the little girl's head with his hand, and smiled, "Do you like the palace?" The girl nodded stunned. Duan Xichen smiled again, "You can come there every day and come to me." ”

"Does my brother live there?"

"Hmm. This great tomorrow also lives there, and you can see it every day if you want to. ”

Mrs. Zhang seemed to understand something, and hurriedly went over to hug the girl in a panic, and pleaded: "My lord, you are so kind to let our mother and daughter go!" She is still young, if she enters the palace...... Won't you kill me with a sword, I beg you......" She hugged the girl tightly and begged Duan Xichen with a frightened gaze.

"Mrs. Zhang, this case involves several lives, don't you want to avenge Master Zhang, and you have to work hard to deceive?" His words were not meant to be half-parted jokes.

I saw her slowly stand up, "I said...... I say...... It's General Shen...... The old man has a close personal relationship with General Shen on weekdays, so I am suspicious. Until that day, I happened to hear them talking outside the door...... I was also thinking about Princess Yufeng back then, Concubine Sun Guifei had passed away for a long time, and Princess Yufeng had disappeared seven years ago, so why did she suddenly talk about it today......"

Hearing this, Feng Liji's eyes looked at Duan Xichen, who had been silent for a long time, and seemed to ...... What to worry about.

"Jade Phoenix ......" Duan Xichen was deeply impressed, and he played very closely with this sister when he was a child, except for Gu Xiazhen, who was looking for Jade Phoenix all the time. It was only later that an assassin captured her, and she has not been found yet, this sister ...... I'm afraid I won't find it anymore.

"It's just a generalization, and I don't pay much attention to it. Later, when the old man was killed, it was General Shen who asked us to go to Jingzhou, and he said that he could give our mother and daughter a place to live. So we came, but we didn't see anyone, and we had to be reduced to this. Mrs. Zhang looked at Duan Xichen's face and said, "What I said is true, my lord, I hope you will let the little girl go." ”

"I won't take her away, and I won't do anything to her, I just want to tell you, Jingzhou City ...... It's not where you should be. There was some sadness and regret in his eyes, and the tone of his voice was rarely lifeless. Then he instructed: "Liji, take them back to Jinling, and find a good place for them to live." "Then, walk away.

"My lord, I don't bother you, it's just that General Shen has already found a good place to live for us, so I won't trouble you."

He looked back suddenly, his eyes sharp, "Shen Yi wants to kill you, don't you know!" ”

“？！”

"If it is true as you say, then why hasn't he sent someone to take you to your lodging?"

Mrs. Zhang's words suddenly lowered, "Maybe it's because I've been busy with affairs these days and has no time to take care of us." ”

"Yes! He's been busy lately, and he doesn't have time to send men to kill you to get rid of the trouble. ”

Duan Xichen's words made Mrs. Zhang almost not stand on her feet, "How could it be ......" Duan Xichen stepped forward, "Mrs. Zhang, you tell the truth, you ...... Is it Sun Guifei's personal maid back then, and she is also Yufeng's nurse? The panic and surprise in Mrs. Zhang's eyes revealed all of her, and her hands trembled slightly at a loss, "You...... How do you know ......?"

"It doesn't matter how I know, you just have to answer truthfully."

"What do you say...... Every sentence is true. It seems that the secret that has been buried in my heart for many years is suddenly open to the world, and everyone knows it.

Mo Yinluo hastily packed up the things on the table and walked out of the door with a homemade "gas smoke bomb". It was getting dark, and the stars were already dotted in the night sky, bright and beautiful.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she was stopped by Mo Ziyang, who suddenly appeared, "Where is Miss Mo going?" Mo Yinluo was so frightened by him that he stumbled, "Ziyang?!" You...... Why is there no sound when you walk? I have important business to attend to, and I will not accompany you. After she finished speaking, she was about to leave, but was stopped by Mo Ziyang with her hand, "It's getting late, Miss Wangmo should go back and rest early." ”

"Ah...... No, I'm really in trouble, I'll be back later! She saw that Mo Ziyang didn't speak for a long time, so she acquiesced and turned her head to leave. As if he suddenly remembered something, he turned around, "Ziyang!" ”

“？！”

"That...... Let's go see the silk! She's not in a good mood these days, and I'll probably have to come back in a while, so please take care of it. "Yes! That dream in the morning was so terrible that she couldn't even feel at ease. Mo Ziyang just looked at Mo Yinluo's back and secretly agreed, his face was expressionless, and he didn't know what to think.

Jinling Street is extremely prosperous, the flow of people is like a sea, today's lantern festival is really extraordinary! All kinds of lanterns, large and small, gather here. The silent lake is bustling with people coming, and the graceful lanterns floating on the water add a touch of gloom to the lake. The street vendors are almost shouting.

Mo Yinluo came to this so-called Qianju Pavilion according to the location on the letter that Ouyang Yue'er gave her. It's obviously a prosperous area, but only this Qianju Pavilion is as quiet as death, probably contracted by Ouyang Yue'er! I really don't know what this guy wants to do?

Inside, I saw that the magnificent wooden pillars were embroidered with gold ornaments, dragon pattern and phoenix ornaments. What kind of place is this wide atmosphere? "Miss Mo is here? You may be seated. A charming and demonic voice came into his ears, and Mo Yinluo couldn't help but tremble. As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was Ouyang Yue'er, if she was so delicate and pretentious in the 21st century, she would be abused by the "big sisters......

"Well, I'll just stand." Mo Yinluo noticed Xu Pingle sitting on the chair in the middle, and then saluted. "The county lord is here, Yin Luo doesn't know, and he is not ready to hope that the county lord will forgive his sins."

"No problem." I don't know why, Xu Pingle's eyes looked at him a little strangely.

Ouyang Yue'er chuckled, "Miss Mo really knows how to count etiquette, and she also knows the difference between dignity and humility, knows right and wrong, and knows the preciousness of the county lord." ”

Mo Yinluo understood what she meant. I really don't want to pay attention to this guy...... Alas! Mo Yinluo smiled: "The body of the county lord's daughter, Yin Luo is far behind, Yin Luo still understands this, and naturally respects the county lord." However, Miss Ouyang has the body of a daughter and a noble body like the county lord, so she can teach Yin Luo like this? ”

Ouyang Yue'er was angry, a trace of annoyance burned between her eyebrows, but she forced out a wry smile, "What Miss Mo said is extremely ......" She was afraid that she gritted her teeth, and wanted to beat herself hard at this time.

"Well, we value peace. Miss Mo, let's sit down first! This Lantern Festival, the county lord is also kind enough to invite the two, wanting us to enhance some feelings. Xu Pingle instructed the maid on the side to pour tea, and beckoned Mo Yinluo to enter the table, saying so seriously, Mo Yinluo was embarrassed to refuse.

"Come, Miss Mo taste the fragrant tea I cooked myself." Ouyang Yue'er ordered the maid to pour a cup for Mo Yinluo. She looked at the swaying tea in front of her, then lifted her cup and drank it all. "Good tea is good tea, but it lacks the beauty in the fragrance and the drunkenness in the tea."

Ever since I drank the tea of Yi Ming Pavilion, I don't know where there is a better tea, and now......

Xu was because of Mo Yinluo's words, Ouyang Yue'er's face changed greatly, "...... Miss Mo is really an elegant person, the fragrance of this tea and the preciousness of the gas...... Yue'er is ashamed of herself. Mo Yinluo was silent, raised her eyes to look at Xu Pingle, and saw her frowning slightly, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she said: "I heard that Miss Mo has learned a good dance skill, I don't know if it may open the eyes of the county lord today?" ”

What does Xu Pingle mean by this? When you're a dancing girl? She said to jump and jump?

Seeing Ouyang Yue'er's smug look on the side, Mo Yinluo felt really uncomfortable when she looked at it. "I heard that the dancing girls and music girls of Qianju Pavilion are among the best in Jinling City, I wonder if the county lord would like me to bring a few for the county lord to enjoy?"

"Mo Yinluo! You don't know what to do, the county lord orders you dare not obey? Ouyang Yue'er immediately fanned the flames, so arrogant.

"Mo Yinluo, are you really as Miss Ouyang said? It's just a dance, why excuse me? ”

"Although I am not He Qianjin's body, but I am still the daughter of the Shangshu of the First Grade Criminal Department, if I dance here today, how can I have the face to dance in the future to His Majesty, the prince and other nobles in the court?"

"Presumptuous! Mo Yinluo! Do you dare to belittle the lord of this county, and are you not afraid that the lord of this county will condemn you for the crime of not seeing the king's law? ”

Mo Yinluo didn't say a word, stepped towards the door, and suddenly stopped, "If the county lord has so much ability to arrest me here today, I should ...... Speechless. ”

Mo Yinluo knew very well in his heart that this must be a ploy used by Xu Pingle and Ouyang Yue'er, and he couldn't stay any longer. "Yin Luo has had a lot of things to do recently, so I'm leaving." Then, walk away.

"Mo Yinluo! You stand for the lord of this county! Mixed with Xu Pingle's call to himself, there was also a pleasant bird call. Mo Yinluo remembers it very well, just like that day. She hurriedly walked towards the thrush in the cage hanging there, her spirit was distracted, her eyes were foggy, and she felt that even if the cage was opened, the bird would not fly out.

"What? Could it be that Miss Mo is still interested in the county lord's bird? Ouyang Yue'er stepped over.

"This bird...... There is a problem. ”

"Questions? If there's a problem, you're right? She raised her hand and was about to hit Mo Yinluo, but Mo Yinluo suddenly raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, and said sharply: "Ouyang Yue'er, your father is just a fourth-grade water master admiral, and today you have nothing to do but beat people!" Aren't you afraid that I will sue Your Majesty for this, so that your father can't even sit down as an official? ”

"You ......"

For a bird, even if it is kept in a cage, it should be alive, but this thrush is lifeless. Wrong! It's eyes...... There is a crescent moon carving, just like the Bi girl, that is Shen Yi's intimidating pill, he actually planted the intimidating pill on the county lord's bird, what is it...... What is it for?

"County Lord, where did you come from?"

"Where did the lord of this county come from, and what does the bird have to do with you?"

"Since the county lord might as well tell me, then I can't ask questions, so I'll leave."

"Someone! Stop her! "Sure enough, it's a ploy. I saw a group of soldiers rushing over, but fortunately, Mo Yinluo had already prepared. She pulled out a round sphere that was no more than half an inch from her bosom and slammed it into the ground, causing a burst of smoke to fill the air.

"If I don't do this trick, I'm a 21st century person." She took advantage of the fact that the soldier couldn't open his eyes because of the smoke, and hurriedly slipped away.

Nannai, it seems that something is wrong. His head was suddenly groggy, the scenery in his eyes was blurry, and he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness hit his heart, and he couldn't stand on his heels. "Oops! I have forgotten the usual methods of the harem...... "Suddenly, my feet staggered, and my body fell to the ground like a thousand gold."

"Humph! Little Mo Yinluo dared to rush into the county lord! Daring! Ouyang Yue'er walked up to Mo Yinluo's side, leaned down and turned her body in disgust. Come! Take her to the back cabinet and serve her well! ”

"Yes!"

Xu Pingle sat in his chair and looked restless. "What is Miss Ouyang going to do?" Ouyang Yue'er suddenly smiled charmingly, "Do you remember what Yue'er said to you before?" Yue'er, this will prove it to you! ”

Xu Pingle felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
