Bang!

This news made Xiao Wuxin feel like a lightning strike, and the two had conspired to meet half a month ago, asking him to monitor the eldest princess's every move, but he didn't expect to be assassinated.

"Stone ...... How did Confucius die? Did the killer catch it? ”

Seeing that Xiao Wuxin suddenly became extremely excited, the lord of Shuoyang County couldn't help but be surprised, why was he so excited when he learned that Kong Zhongshu had been killed?

King Zhao didn't think much about it, but said: "The person was already killed when he was discovered, and my father has ordered the whole city to arrest the murderer." ”

The tragic death of the Confucian saint, the anger of the Zhou Emperor, and the actions of the murderer are tantamount to challenging the majesty of the imperial power.

But now that the envoy to Beiliang is imminent, he can't withdraw at all, Xiao Wuxin clenched his fists violently, and he hated to make it the biggest regret that the murderer was cut with a thousand knives.

Xiao Wuxin glanced at the blue bird, and the two of them understood, and the blue bird nodded slightly, as if to say: The sect master can rest assured, he will definitely mobilize all the forces in the alliance to catch the murderer.

"County Lord, if you catch the murderer, can you tell me that Confucius and I almost became masters and apprentices?" Xiao Wuxin asked.

The county lord of Shuoyang nodded in response, killing the Confucian saint, such a despicable thing can be done, and the murderer must be crazy.

At this point, in the long pavilion, when Xiao Wuxin left on his horse, his face was full of murderous intent.

"Grandpa Shi, I won't let you die in vain, wait for me to come back!!"

Xiao Wuxin silently wiped away the tears that swirled in his eyes.

......

From Jinling to the north, through the land of Qilu, and across Luoyang and other places, after two months of trekking through mountains and rivers, it is finally about to get out of the boundary of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The accompanying tour guide who went to Beiliang said: "Your Highness! Passing through the mountains in front of you is about to reach Yumen Pass, where is also the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

Standing on horseback and looking out, there is yellow sand at a glance, the bleak environment of Xiao Suo is completely different from the warmth of Jinling, and the desolation of the desert is vividly displayed at this moment.

"Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate."

Xiao Wuxin couldn't help but sigh, the poems he had learned in his previous life blurted out, and there was actually a Jade Gate Pass in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the parallel world.

Back then, the Northern Liang tore up the covenant and attacked the Great Zhou troops, so that the Zhou soldiers had to retreat to the Yumen Pass, and now many years have passed, the Yumen Pass, as an important checkpoint bordering the Northern Liang, has become a prosperous place for trade between the two countries.

"Your Highness is very literate, and he said that the environment of the Jade Gate Pass is bad."

Even the spring breeze can't blow here, so you can imagine how bad it is.

After half a day's drive, the convoy came to the Yumen Pass, and after taking out the road guide and documents, it successfully stayed at the post station.

After resting for a few days, Xiao Wuxin was wandering on the side of the road on this day, and the caravans at Yumen Pass were endless, and the shouts of merchants on both sides were endless.

Even the people sitting on the ground are all handsome and beautiful, perhaps the locals intermarried with the Beiliang people, and most of them are mixed-race children.

I was bored, and I was about to return, but I heard the original restless sound not far away, and there were many people around the scene.

Even the government was alarmed.

"Shameless thief, dare to steal but dare not admit it, slut!"

At this moment, the fat butcher was clutching the girl's wrist and pointing to the money bag around her waist.

"Let go, I didn't steal your money, the bag is my own." The girl struggled, but she couldn't break free at all.

"You were the only one in my booth just now, if it wasn't for you, why was my money gone?"

It turned out that the girl wanted to buy some pork at the butcher's stall just now, but she was shy in her pocket, hesitated for a long time and was reluctant to buy it, and was about to leave to be framed by the butcher for stealing money.

After the government came, the two of them insisted on their own words, and they didn't know who to believe.

Just when the two sides were arguing, Xiao Wuxin came from the crowd and said with a smile: "It's not easy to know which of the two of them is lying?" ”

For a while, everyone looked at Xiao Wuxin, and the county magistrate looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" Do you know what to do if you can't even handle it? ”

Xiao Wuxin took out the token on his waist, and the county order saw it: "Xiaguan Hu Bin, I have seen His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

After saluting, Xiao Wuxin said, "Bother Lord Hu to bring two bowls of water." ”

Hu Bin didn't know what his intentions were, but he immediately sent someone to get clean water.

Then he poured the copper plate that the girl had placed in the money bag into the water.

As concocted, Xiao Wuxin casually took three copper plates from the butcher's stall and threw them into another bowl of water.

"Look, that's the answer."

Everyone stared at each other, and they looked confused, as if they had encountered a question that they would not know in the exam.

The county commander Hu Bin scratched his ears and cheeks, and pondered: "Your Highness, where is the answer, why didn't the lower officials see it?" ”

"What's the difference between looking closely at the surface of the water?" Xiao Wuxin reminded.

The county commander Hu Bin squatted down, looked at it very carefully, and suddenly said: "It's an oil stain!" ”

Butchers make a living from slaughtering all year round, and their hands are bound to be stained with animal oil, as is the copper plates that pass through their hands.

You only need to throw the copper plate into the water and observe whether there are oil stains to determine whether it is true or fake.

Sure enough, one of the two bowls of water had oil stains, and the other bowl did not, so it was clear who was lying.

"Butcher Fan Er, you beat a rake and framed a good person, come to someone, arrest him back to the yamen, and pay him 30 boards and a fine of 2 taels of silver."

"Spare your life!"

The butcher was thinking of blackmailing money, stealing chickens and rice, but after being taken by the servants, there were bursts of cheers at the scene.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Wuxin wanted to do something and put off his clothes, but as a result, the rescued girl kept following him, wherever she went.

Do...... Could it be that you are in love with yourself?

"Girl, even if you want to be grateful to me, you won't always follow me, right?"

The girl pretended not to hear and kept a fixed distance from Xiao Wuxin.

As soon as she arrived at the station, the girl knelt on the ground, and let the people at the station know that they thought they had done something to her.

"My lord, I have no home to go, please take me."

......

Northern Liang Palace.

The harem has become a mess, and the eunuchs and maids are like ants on a hot pot.

At this time, the Emperor of Northern Liang rushed over: "Did you find it?" ”

Everyone was so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and they didn't dare to breathe.

"The main thing is that you can't get it back, and you don't want to live!!"

"What are you doing in a daze, digging three feet into the ground to get the princess back!"

At the same time, the Northern Liang royal family dispatched 5,000 forbidden troops, just because the beloved little princess of the Northern Liang Emperor was missing.
