The grandmother of the third girl lived in the northwest corner of the prefecture city, three streets away from the yamen of the state capital.

There is a detailed map, but it didn't take much effort to find the willow house.

The matter was urgent, and Chu Xiaoran couldn't wait for dawn to call someone to take her to the capital, so she flew directly into Liu's house, found the main house, lit the oil lamp, and woke up Liu Mingbo, who was already asleep.

Liu Mingbo is exactly forty this year, and he looks very much like the hero he saw in the TV series in his previous life, shrewd and capable, and powerful.

In the middle of the night, a girl sneaked into her own room, Liu Ming Borao was well-informed, but also a little shocked.

The lady next to him was about to scream subconsciously, but was frightened back by Liu Mingbo's look.

It can also be seen from this that this Liu Mingbo is quite a courageous person.

"What is the intention of the girl sneaking into the old man's house in the middle of the night?"

Chu Xiaoran directly took out the letter and the bracelet: "You will understand after reading this letter, and this bracelet was given to me by Miss Zeng San." ”

Liu Mingbo did not open the letter immediately, but glanced at Chu Xiaoran up and down, got up and looked at the bracelet carefully under the lamp, and made sure that there was no problem with the bracelet before opening the letter.

The more Liu Mingbo looked, the tighter his brows wrinkled.

After reading all the letters, Liu Mingbo clenched his fists, and his forehead seemed to have green tendons beating.

"It's the middle of the night, and I'm a priest, and I can't take you directly to the county government to see him, so I'll go to the prefect first, explain the situation to him, and ask the prefect to introduce him on my behalf."

In the Song Dynasty, official positions were divided into two categories: officials and officials, and the position of the chief was mainly recruited, assigned by the government, and was mainly responsible for collecting taxes and handling prison lawsuits.

In the state capital, Oshiji also has a certain amount of influence.

If it is to see the prefect of the state, Liu Mingbo also has the ability and ability.

But the big officials from Tokyo, even the prefect had to nod when he saw him, not to mention his little boss.

Chu Xiaoran nodded: "Okay, then I'll wait for your news." ”

The state capital yamen

"Liu Abshi, it's so late, why are you still coming to the yamen?"

"Oh, I have something important to see the prefect, and I ask you to report it quickly."

"......"

The little soldier guarding the door looked up at the moonlight and pointed: "It's just over now, and people are sleeping soundly!" ”

"If it weren't for the urgency, I would have slept at home, don't you say? Hurry up and spread the word, if you really miss something, we people really can't afford it. ”

Hearing Liu Mingbo say this, Xiaobing did not delay, opened the door and went in to report.

It was about a quarter of an hour before the soldier returned and let Yoo Myung-bak in.

Bi Shaohua yawned wildly, pointed at Liu Mingbo, and said angrily: "The official said that you, don't sleep at this time, if there is anything you have to report at this time." ”

After speaking, there was another long yawn, and tears were squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.

It can be seen that he is desperately sleepy.

"I don't dare to disturb the adults' rest, it's just that the villain has got a very important piece of information and wants to present it to the adults immediately."

Bi Shaohua stopped yawning at this time, and the letter handed over by Liu Mingbo.

After reading it, I was full of excitement.

"Your granddaughter said that this Cao family is very likely to be a spy of the Jin people?"

Thinking of the Qizhou Mansion that had fallen, Bi Shaohua felt that his neck was cold, and he didn't want the Kangzhou Mansion under his governance to become the second Qizhou Mansion.

"My lord, this Cao family married Zeng Yuke in the first year of Chongning, for so many years, she has been staying in Jiulong Town, and has never been to Changzhou Mansion to save relatives, it is very suspicious that her identity is fake. If Jia Shan heard it, this Cao family was very suspicious. ”

Jia Shan is the third girl of Zeng.

Bi Shaohua paced back and forth in the lobby, which caused all his sleepy bugs to run away.

My mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of what to do.

"Does your granddaughter have any tangible evidence, if so, the official can immediately send someone to see the Cao family to arrest her."

"My lord, it's because I haven't got tangible evidence yet, so I came to ask for my adult's help, Jin Ren is not easy to mess with, in case of a snake startled, I'm afraid that none of the people in the Zeng Mansion will be able to escape."

"Yes, yes."

"My lord, isn't there a big official from Kaifeng who specializes in investigating the fall of Qizhou Mansion, why don't you inform that person about this and let him have an idea?"

Bi Shaohua nodded hurriedly: "This is a good idea." So, I'll take you to that lord early tomorrow morning. ”

Chu Xiaoran meditated cross-legged in the room arranged by Liu Mingbo, and about an hour later, Liu Mingbo returned from the mansion.

"I've already explained the matter to the prefect, and I'll see him again tomorrow morning."

Chu Xiaoran understood why the prefect didn't tell him about this overnight, because it was just a suspicion, there was no conclusive evidence, the Beijing official was not the prefect, and if he annoyed someone, it would be difficult to deal with this matter.

Wait for tomorrow morning, and then tell this matter, whether to care about it or not, it is up to him to make his own decision.

"Ryuoshiji, can you take me with you tomorrow?"

"Naturally, you are from the Zeng family, and the one who told you about this matter is a little more trusting."

With Liu Mingbo's words, Chu Xiaoran slept for an hour with confidence, and as soon as a glimmer of light appeared in the sky, Chu Xiaoran woke up, meditated cross-legged again for a quarter of an hour, combed the meridians, and then began to wash.

As soon as he washed up, Yoo Myung-bak came.

"Let's go to Desheng Street now to meet the prefect, who has been here for half a month and will go to the Yipin shop on Desheng Street every morning for breakfast."

The Yipin shop is just one street away from the willow house, and when the two of them arrived, the prefect had not yet come.

So the two of them stood at the door of the Yipin shop, waiting for the prefect.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Xiaoran heard Liu Mingbo's cough, she raised her head, and saw a man about twenty-four or five years old walking towards Yipin Shop.

He was about five feet tall (one foot thirty-three centimeters), with a very standard eye shape, wearing a thin lake blue shirt, the neckline and cuffs could be seen to be sewn with gold thread, and even the lotus flower on his chest was hooked with gold thread.

Behind him were six guards with knives, and the guards' lower plate was very stable, their eyes were sharp, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.

Look, look, this is the great official from the feet of the Son of Heaven.

They didn't expect that the prefect promised to report the matter of the Cao family to the lord at Desheng Street today, but they didn't expect that the officials had already arrived, but the prefect didn't see anyone.

Seeing that the official was about to step into the first-class shop, Liu Mingbo could only take a step forward and salute the Beijing official.

"The villain greets the adults, and the adults also come here for breakfast?"

"You are?"

The senior official asked with a puzzled expression, obviously not remembering the number one Liu Mingbo.

Liu Mingbo didn't have time to introduce himself, and two of the guards who followed the senior official stepped forward and separated Liu Mingbo and Chu Xiaoran with a big knife.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way."

In this way, they didn't have a chance to say a second sentence, and they were separated by the guards.
