Chapter Seventy-Five: The State Capital
At this time, Luo Qingzhi stood outside the stone steps of Mufu, looking at the plaque of Mufu in the mist.
She crumpled the note she had stuffed into herself and muttered, "How much else is being covered?"
Back at the inn, seeing that the light in Zhixin's room was still on, Luo Qingzhi asked Gao Zhen to go back to the room first and knocked on Zhixin's room.
"Did you wake up, or did you just come back?" Zhixin asked.
Luo Qingzhi looked at the dirt on Zhixin's boots and asked, "What about you?" Just came back or were you leaving?"
Zhixin coughed, dodging the question, "You came to me for something?"
"Tell me what you heard on the street about the Mu family."
Zhixin nodded, "Come in and say."
Looking at the room with some more flowers, Luo Qingzhi grinned, "He's very good to you."
Zhixin didn't comment, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "I remember telling you that everyone actually doesn't have any evaluation of Old General Mu, and the most evaluation comes from the eldest son of the Mu family."
"I remember." Luo Qingzhi nodded and drank tea.
"However, when I saw the eldest prince in the mansion that day, I thought that everyone's statement was very strange." Zhi thought for a moment and continued, "Everyone says that the eldest prince is gentle and elegant, treats people kindly, and often gives clothes and medicines."
Listening to Zhixin's description, Luo Qingzhi gradually became puzzled, "Is it the same person?"
"I've thought about this question too, so I'll check it out for you." Zhixin smiled, quite a sense of invitation.
"And the result?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Zhixin said: "I was in a hurry to go to the market that day, and I didn't listen to it all, what they said about the eldest prince is indeed like that, but this well-received eldest prince died mysteriously a year ago, and the current eldest prince is actually the second son."
"No wonder." Luo Qingzhi said, "No wonder this eldest prince calls himself a grass man."
Zhixin asked, "What do you mean?"
Luo Qingzhi explained, "When I was still in Yuzhou, I heard that this eldest prince of Mufu, brave and good at fighting, is a strong bow on the battlefield, and was named the governor of Ningzhou five years ago, so he called himself a grass man, I thought it was deliberate, it turned out to be not the same person."
"But." Luo Qingzhi was still puzzled, "The governor of Ningzhou has passed away, why is there no news from the palace."
Zhixin shook her head, "I don't know."
Luo Qingzhi said, "I know now why His Majesty asked me to come to Ningzhou."
"Why?" Zhixin asked.
Luo Qingzhi explained, "Although Ningzhou is a small city, but the neighboring countries are gradually becoming stronger, it is difficult to ensure that there is no wolf ambition, the coach is like this, and the governor died mysteriously, and the crisis is everywhere, and it has to be investigated."
Zhixin exclaimed, guessing, "Could it be that His Majesty wants you to take over Yuzhou?"
"What do you think?" Luo Qingzhi knocked her on the head, "I am the commander of Yuzhou, if I take over Ningzhou again, won't the courtiers want to participate in my power......
Luo Qingzhi paused suddenly, laughing self-deprecatingly, "It turns out that Your Majesty has this intention, that...... Why is Grandpa Huang?"
Zhixin was confused, "Arlo, what are you muttering?"
Luo Qingzhi exhaled and shook her head, "No, it's me who thinks too much......
Zhixin yawned and said, "Ah Luo, I'm a little sleepy, I want to take a break, you can go."
"So afraid I'll ask you about that person." Luo Qingzhi said.
"What, I don't understand what you're saying, I'm really sleepy." As she spoke, Zhixin began to push Luo Qingzhi, urging her to leave quickly.
Luo Qingzhi was kicked out of the room like this.
She sighed slightly and returned to her room, and before she could close the door, the wind appeared in the doorway.
"Come in." Luo Qingzhi said.
The wind entered the door from the south, saluted, and said, "Young master, I have found a trace."
"Say."
Feng Zinan took out a broken step and said, "This is from the Shangyi Bureau."
"Miyazai?" Luo Qingzhi was slightly surprised.
Feng Zinan nodded, "Yes."
Luo Qingzhi remembered Zhixin's words, "Zhixin said that his friend told her that those people were dead soldiers, I thought they were perfunctory, but it seems to be true......
"Do you need me to send a message to Luo Chen and ask him to check the situation in the palace?" Feng Zinan asked.
"Okay, tell him to be careful and don't let anyone know I'm looking into this." Luo Qingzhi said.
The wind bowed from the south.
"Wait," Luo Qingzhi shouted, "Let him check it out with great fanfare."
Although Feng Zinan had doubts, he still nodded and said, "Yes."
"You're not going to ask me why?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"The young master has his own reason, and his subordinates don't need to ask more." The wind replied from the south.
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly, "Okay, you go down."
Early the next morning, the news of the death of the new aunt of Mufu spread all over the streets and alleys, and no matter where he went, there were people talking about it.
Luo Qingzhi and the others were having breakfast in the lobby of the inn, and they had heard countless decrypted versions, some people guessed that the new aunt was rich, and in the end he was unwilling to jump into the lake, and some people guessed that Miss Mu was unwilling to marry such an ugly person, and personally killed him......
"What the hell are these people guessing? I don't know anything......" Zhi was angry.
Luo Qingzhi said lightly, "After eating, go and clean up our things, we have to move to the state capital."
"Huh? But, I'm used to it." Zhixin obviously didn't want to move out.
Luo Qingzhi probably knew the reason, and she didn't force it, and said, "Then you can stay in the inn, so that you can get some other news."
"Okay." Zhixin smiled.
Gao Zhen also stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said tentatively, "I, I also want to stay in the inn......
Everyone present was a little surprised, after all, in the past, Gao Zhen had to surround Luo Qingzhi and would not let go of any opportunity to get along with her.
Luo Qingzhi was naturally a little surprised, but she still nodded, "Okay."
Zhixin approached Gao Zhen, lowered her voice, and asked, "You quarreled with Arlo?"
"Of course not." Gao Zhen immediately explained.
"Then why don't you pester Arlo." Zhixin continued to ask.
"I didn't pester Arlo," Gao Zhen said, "and we are in love."
The tea that Luo Qingzhi had just swallowed choked instantly and kept coughing.
Zhixin sighed a few times and commented, "It's still happy with each other..... Tsk......"
"That person is still in Ningzhou?" Luo Qingzhi asked deliberately, as if there was a sense of protecting her shortcomings.
Zhixin immediately shut up and stopped ridiculing the two of them.
Luo Qingzhi accepted it when she saw it, and said, "Then I and Feng will go to the state capital from the south, and you two will stay here."
"Where does the wind come from the south? I haven't seen him since early in the morning." Zhixin asked.
Luo Qingzhi said calmly, "I'm going to investigate the matter of Weibao Mountain."
After she finished speaking, she observed the reactions of Zhixin and Gao Zhen, both of them were very calm and did not have any surprised emotions.
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, hoping that she had thought too much.
After breakfast, Gao Zhen took Luo Qingzhi's burden and sent her to the state capital.
"I'm in, you can go back." Luo Qingzhi took over the burden.
Gao Zhen said "um", with reluctance in his eyes.
Luo Qingzhi asked, "Do you want to come with me?"
"......," Gao Zhen shook his head, "No, I still have things to deal with."
Luo Qingzhi didn't intend to ask him what the matter was to deal with, so he said "um" and turned to leave.
Ouyang Xun happened to go out, holding the file in his hand, meeting Luo Qingzhi and saluting respectfully.
"Xiaguan has seen the county
Lord, how dare you bother the county lord to come and get the file, it should have been sent by the lower officials."
Luo Qingzhi asked rhetorically, "How can you conclude that I am here to find you?"
"Then Your Highness is coming?" Ouyang asked.
Luo Qingzhi handed the burden to Ouyang Xun, "Come and check in."
Ouyang Xun glared, "What, what?"
"Didn't the state government arrange a place for me to live?" Luo Qingzhi said.
"Yes, yes." Ouyang asked, "Please, county lord."
"Where's Lord Zhizhou?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Ouyang Xun explained: "There was a change in the subordinate towns a few years ago, and after Lord Zhizhou asked His Majesty, he went to suppress it."
"Adults going in person?"
"We've always been hands-on." Ouyang Xun said.
Luo Qingzhi quipped, "Then isn't Lord Ouyang in Ningzhou Mansion now in charge."
Ouyang Xun hurriedly bent down and saluted, "With His Highness in charge, naturally His Highness has the final say."
"Are you harming me by saying this?" Luo Qingzhi said softly.
"Eh, Your Highness, watch out for the steps."
Ouyang Xun avoided answering on the grounds of reminding.
"Your Highness, this is the inner courtyard of the state capital, according to Your Majesty's will, let Your Highness live in the state capital, and your room is on the east side." Ouyang Xun pointed to the room and introduced.
The door on the west side opened, and a man in armor walked quickly in front of Luo Qingzhi, knelt down and saluted, "Xiaguan Wangmian, I have seen the county lord."
Luo Qingzhi saw that Wang Mian was a little familiar, and asked, "Are you from the forbidden army?"
"Under the Forbidden Army, the deputy commander," Wang Mian said.
Ouyang Xun's eyes were sharp, and he immediately greeted, "I've seen Deputy Commander Wang."
But the crown was not a face-saving one, and immediately said, "Didn't you already see the ceremony yesterday?"
"It's different, it's different." Ouyang Xun smiled awkwardly.
Luo Qingzhi pointed to the file in Ouyang Xun's hand and asked, "Tell me about the situation, my lord."
Ouyang Xun handed over the file with both hands and said, "This is the result of last night's investigation."
Luo Qingzhi opened the file, quickly browsed it, and asked, "The state government's verdict is suicide?"
"Yes." Ouyang Xun explained, "I conducted an overnight autopsy, and there were no external injuries, so it was indeed drowned."
「.....」
Seeing Luo Qingzhi's hesitation, Ouyang Xun immediately said, "All the evidence and physical evidence are in the state capital, whether Your Highness wants to review it."
Luo Qingzhi yawned, "Wait a minute, I'm tired, let's press it first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Back in the room, close the door, and after a while, someone enters the window.
The crown enters.
"Pretty smart." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Does Your Majesty have any additional orders?"
Wang Mian said, "Your Majesty said that the county lord can make his own decisions about the affairs of Ningzhou."
「......」
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly and asked, "Is there anything different about the state capital?"
"Nope."
