Shen Ling opened his mouth and wanted to tell Xijian to inform Taojuan to find another place to hide Zeng Weimin and the others, but before the words were spoken, a young man's voice came from the side.

"May I ask if it's the Lord of Phoenix?"

Shen Ling followed the voice and looked over, the man who spoke had patches on his clothes, and he held a book in his hand, and he was standing at the door of the house at the moment, looking like a scholar from a poor family.

"It's me, Childe, what's the matter?" Shen Ling asked, while silently looking at the scholar's expression, trying to find out the scholar's intentions.

Hearing this, the scholar smiled at Shen Ling, "It's nothing, I just want to solve problems for the county lord."

Shen Ling raised her eyebrows, "Oh? I don't know what Childe means by this?"

In this Xingzhou, it is usually the people who come to Shen Ling for help, and this is the first time Shen Ling has heard someone say that she wants to solve her problems.

The scholar looked at both sides and saw that there was no one on the road, so he hurriedly waved at Shen Ling.

"It's not appropriate to talk here, and please ask the county lord to come in and talk about it."

Shen Ling was not afraid of scholars playing tricks, with her Gu worm and Xi Sword, few people could get benefits from her.

At the invitation of the scholar, Shen Ling and Xi Jian walked in.

When I got started, I found that there were many people inside, all ordinary people, old people and scholars, as well as middle-aged women with children.

Shen Ling was very surprised, even though Shen Ling had always been smart, he couldn't see what these people were trying to do.

"You are ...... this."

The scholar who invited Shen Ling to enter the door smiled at Shen Ling, and then bent over and arched his hand, "We all heard that some officers and soldiers went to the county lord for trouble, and they wanted to help the county lord gather here."

A red-skinned farmer in the house scratched his head embarrassedly when he saw this, "Actually, we have already seen those former courtiers coming and going in the courtyard of the county lord's house, but we don't think there is anything wrong with the county lord interacting with them."

A gray-haired grandmother heard this and said, "Even though those people are old ministers of the previous dynasty, no matter how the dynasty changes, everyone is a child of the country."

Another woman with the child in her arms also spoke, "It's just that, I really don't know what those officers and soldiers think."

The scholar looked at Shen Ling and said sincerely, "County Lord, we all think so and want to help you hide those courtiers."

Shen Ling's eyes were a little hot when she heard this, she never thought that these people would defend her like this.

She curled her lips and smiled at everyone, "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need to help me Tibetan, if this is found out by the government, I am afraid you will not be able to get any benefits."

Hearing Shen Ling say this, everyone was not afraid at all.

"Don't worry, the county lord, we all have something in our hearts, and we have some arrangements at home, so we won't be discovered."

"The county lord has helped us so much, so let's help the county lord too."

"Yes, don't shirk the county lord, this is everyone's heart."

A group of people persuaded Shen Ling in words, but Shen Ling couldn't resist them, and finally nodded with tears in her eyes.

"So, I thank you for them."

The scholar smiled and waved his hand, "No thanks, the county lord helps us, we help the county lord, these are what we should do."

After discussing the affairs of the Tibetans with these people, Shen Ling sent a letter to Taojuan, and finally with the help of the people, arranged for the old ministers to hide in every household.

On the second day, Xiao Qianqian thought that there was still a place under Shen Ling's name that had not been searched, so she found Song Linyuan.

"Brother Lin Yuan, it's been a day, and I've rested enough, shouldn't I take the officers and soldiers to search the places that were not searched yesterday?"

Song Linyuan frowned and looked at Xiao Qianqian unhappily, "Xiao Qianqian! Why do you keep holding on to Ling'er, we've already checked her shop, and we haven't found anything related to the traitor."

In Song Linyuan's opinion, Xiao Qianqian simply has nothing to do.

Xiao Qianqian's hand holding the handkerchief kept twisting, and she was about to go to the last place, Xiao Qian

Qian didn't want to give up.

"Brother Linyuan, I saw the traitor come out of Shen Ling's mansion with my own eyes, since I didn't find anything in those shops yesterday, then she must have hidden people in the last place."

Song Linyuan snorted impatiently, "The shops have already been checked, and the house has also been checked, where else can there be?"

"Changcui Mountain." Xiao Qianqian swore and said, "Shen Ling bought that mountain before, and he had invited many young ladies to hold a flower-viewing banquet there before." new

Song Linyuan also knew about the flower appreciation banquet, and Shen Ling even became famous because of the flower appreciation banquet.

Seeing that Song Linyuan was thoughtful, Xiao Qianqian took the opportunity to pull Song Linyuan's sleeve.

"Brother Lin Yuan is in the last place anyway, whether she colludes with the traitor or not, it depends on this search."

Song Linyuan came back to his senses and pulled his sleeve back from Xiao Qianqian's hand.

"Okay, then check it out, just to return Ling'er's innocence, lest you always say that she colluded with traitors."

Looking at the empty palm, Xiao Qianqian's expression on her face was a little stiff, she withdrew her hand and clenched it silently.

Song Linyuan didn't even look at Xiao Qianqian, got up and went to the yamen to transfer officers and soldiers.

Xiao Qianqian followed Song Linyuan all the way, suppressing her resentment against Shen Ling in her heart, just waiting for the officers and soldiers to search for things from Changcui Mountain.

Everyone went all the way towards Changcui Mountain, and Shen Ling had already asked Taojuan to transfer the former courtiers away last night, so they didn't leave people in Changcui Mountain, and the officers and soldiers easily went up the mountain.

I searched again and again, but I still found nothing.

"Why didn't you find it?" Xiao Qianqian was incredulous, "It must be that you didn't search carefully."

She pushed away the officers and soldiers in front of her, plunged headlong into the force on the top of the mountain, and rummaged indiscriminately, but found nothing.

Xiao Qianqian was unwilling, and when she saw a shovel in the courtyard outside, she rushed forward with an arrow step, picked up the shovel and dug into the ground.

Looking at her posture, she will never stop if she doesn't dig three feet into the ground to find something out.

Song Linyuan looked at the chaotic courtyard that had been turned over, and saw Xiao Qianqian's disregardless appearance, her face was dark.

He walked over and snatched the shovel from Xiao Qianqian's hand and threw it aside.

"That's enough, that's enough to prove that Ling'er has nothing to do with the traitor, and this is the end of the matter."

"Brother Linyuan!" Xiao Qianqian's eyes were red and she was reluctant to go.

Song Linyuan snorted coldly and ordered the officers and soldiers to suppress Xiao Qianqian away.

Because Xiao Qianqian repeatedly caused trouble for Song Linyuan, Song Linyuan simply used Xiao Qianqian's false case as an excuse to send Xiao Qianqian back to Beijing.

In the end, Song Linyuan only blamed the incident on the personal grievances of Shen Ling and Xiao Qianqian, and the officers and soldiers and the county commanders had no objections.
