Zhao died for no reason, and Pang Meng immediately sent Yuan Liulang back to Ma Ling to report the matter to the county order.

A court suspect who was escorted to the Tingwei Mansion died, and the county magistrate knew that the matter was very important, so he hurried to investigate the scene with the county magistrate and the county jailer. The county Cheng recognized another deceased, Heng Si, who was one of the two people who came to the county government to ask for horses a few days ago, claiming to be Huo Fu Jiading. The county order did not dare to conceal it, and immediately reported it to Taishou. The Taishou of Beidi County did not dare to delay, and immediately reported to the imperial court.

Pang Meng, Yuan Liulang and Xu Fei's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed the county order back to Ma Ling. Zhao Wuzhi is a suspect in the imperial court and has no family members. Pang Meng and his entourage still had to rush to Chang'an, so they discussed with the county order to bury Zhao Wuxian here for no reason, and then move back to Shuofang after they returned from Chang'an. At the time of the burial, Ling Yue's expression was gloomy, and when she thought of her grievances, she became more and more sentimental and couldn't help but sob. Xu Yu thought to herself that she was sorry for Zhao Wureason, and when she saw Ling Yue crying sadly, she was also depressed.

Pang Meng picked up the tablet made when Zhao was buried for no reason, and said, "Let's go." The group went to a guest house to rest.

"How did you get here?" Ling Yue stared at Zhao Wu's tablet and asked in a choked voice.

Pang Meng smiled bitterly: "It's a coincidence, we came all the way, arrived at the horse collar, and met Chun Yuji in this inn." He told him how he met Chun Yuji, how he learned that the three of them had just left the horse collar, and the process of finding the barren post.

·

After Pang Meng stayed in Shuofang and settled his mother, he was also worried about the safety of the ten people, so he and Yuan Liulang came all the way, and arrived in Zhimaling County, Beidi County on this day.

Coincidentally, Chun Yu rushed all the way down the mountain after a few times, chasing after Qihua and Ruoyun. On this day, he also came to the horse collar.

He made an appointment with Hua to meet in the north, so after entering the county seat, he went directly to find the inn, and when he asked about the second house, he saw Qihua sitting in the front hall, grinning at him. His heart was hot, so he ran over and sat down next to her, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he asked, "What about Ruoyun?" As soon as he finished speaking, he somehow blushed.

Qihua tilted his head, looked at his embarrassed appearance, secretly laughed, and deliberately pretended to be unhappy: "You just think about Ruoyun." ”

Chun Yuji lowered his head and said, "Aren't you good?" He didn't dare to look at Qihua, and turned his gaze to the other side, only to find two familiar figures.

The two were talking to the shopkeeper and seemed to be staying in the guest room. Chun Yu called out tentatively: "Pang Envoy Jun." The man turned his head sharply. Chun Yu was overjoyed, stood up and shouted, "Envoy, it's me." "Step forward.

These two people are Shuo Fangdu, Cao Peng, Pang Meng, and prison officer Yuan Liulang. Pang Meng was also surprised and delighted when he saw Chun Yuji, and grabbed his shoulder and shook it again and again. The two of them asked in unison, "Why are you here?" With that, they looked at each other and smiled.

Pang Meng said: "Let's go, go to the restaurant and use some wine and food." Chun Yu nodded a few times, turned around and beckoned Qihua over, introduced Pang Meng and Yuan Liulang, and said to Pang Meng that Qihua was a traveling companion who went to Chang'an together, and his face turned red again as he spoke.

Qihua was down-and-out and generous, and bowed slightly.

Pang Meng returned the salute and said with a smile: "Let's go over together." ”

Qihua said: "I still have a little sister, you go first." I called her and came over. ”

Chun Yuji, Pang Meng and Yuan Liulang went to the restaurant and ordered wine and food. After a while, Qihua and Ruoyun also came.

Chun Yu raised his glass a few times and said: "Pang Yuanjun, Brother Yuan, you are all good people, I salute you." The three of them toasted together and sat down to talk.

Pang Meng said that he was also worried about the safety of these ten people, and after settling down with his mother, he and Yuan Liulang came all the way, that is, he met Chun Yuji here, and he didn't know what the situation of the others was.

Chun Yu said: "After the ten of us left the Shuofang County Prison, we went our separate ways, and I don't know where they went. ”

Yuan Liulang gestured to raise a glass together, he took a big sip, and said: "My eldest brother is Cao Peng, the prison commander of Shuofang County, and let you go to Chang'an by yourself, but you have a lot to do." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came over to refill the wine, heard them talk about Shuofang County Prison, and saw Pang Meng and Yuan Liulang jailers dressed up, and said with a smile: "How can it be so coincidental." The day before yesterday, there were also two prison guards from Shuofang, who were eating at my restaurant. ”

Pang Meng was stunned when he heard this, and muttered in his heart, hesitated for a moment, beckoned to stop the shopkeeper, and said, "Shopkeeper, we are either with them, and we are about to chase them." Tell me what they look like. ”

The shopkeeper described the appearance of the two of them, and then said with a smile: "There is also an old woman and a young couple, who also came from Shuofang, and they seem to know each other, so they have dinner together." ”

Pang Meng became more and more surprised, and when she asked about the appearance of the old woman and the young couple, she had an expression of disbelief on her face and sat there in a daze.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was about to retreat, but Pang Meng hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Did those people go together later?" ”

"No, the two jailers went out first, and then came back. The three old women left without waiting for their return. The shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and said in an affirmative tone.

Pang Meng found that the shopkeeper was looking at him with strange eyes, so he smiled and said, "They are all Shuofang jailers, I was looking for them." Thank you, shopkeeper. As he spoke, he took out a string of copper coins and stuffed them to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper couldn't refuse, thanked him and stepped back.

Yuan Liulang didn't figure out what was going on after listening to it for a long time, put down the wine glass, and looked at Pang Meng with a puzzled expression.

Pang Meng waited for the shopkeeper to go away and asked Yuan Liulang: "Do you think those two are Shuofang jailers?" ”

"Definitely not."

"Why are they pretending to be Shuofang jailers?"

"yes, why are they pretending to be the Shuofang jailer?" Yuan Liulang was puzzled.

"So, who do you know about the old woman and a young couple from Shuofang?"

"Zhao Wuxuan, Ling Yue and Granny Zhao." Chun Yuji replied without hesitation.

"Yes, these two people are here for Zhao Wureason, pretending to be Shuofang jailers, to let them let down their guard." Pang Meng took a sip of his wine glass to hide his nervousness.

"They are close to Zhao Wureason, what is the purpose." Yuan Liulang still didn't figure it out.

"I don't know." Pang Meng shook his head: "However, Zhao Wuzhi may be in danger for them. Zhao Wuxu and Ling Yue are the suspects escorted by the two of us, and if there is a mistake, our crimes will not be forgiven. ”

He frowned and stood up, and said to Chun Yuji: "Chun Yu Gongzi, I can't rest assured, so I'll rush over." That's it. ”

Chun Yuji hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Pang Yuanjun, Brother Yuan, you want us to go over together." Pang Meng said: "It's not necessary. You just need to arrive in Chang'an on time. After that, he left in a hurry with Yuan Liulang.

Pang Meng and Yuan Liulang walked out of the city gate and walked a short distance along the avenue before Pang Meng stopped. He looked into the distance for a long time, his face cloudy and yang, as if hesitating. Yuan Liulang didn't bother him when he was around, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Pang Meng looked at the end of the avenue for a long time, and finally said: "Zhao left without waiting for those two people to come back, he must have intentionally avoided these two people." So, they won't take the big road, so we will take the small road to find it. ”

Pang Meng and Yuan Liulang drove along the Meridian Ridge Trail for a day, and when they arrived in Qiannan Town, they went to the restaurant and guest house to inquire, and finally found out the whereabouts of Zhao Wuyu's three people and the two fake prison officials. The two were both happy and worried. The good thing is that he didn't go the wrong way, and he could catch up with Zhao Wureason and others; The worry is that the two of them also followed Zhao Wureason and others all the way, and they must have bad intentions.

Pang Meng's mood was nervous again, and he didn't dare to delay, the two had a meal and rested for a while, and then hurried overnight.

The two walked and walked, and before they knew it, the sky was bright. At this moment, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and they flashed to the side of the road, and a man rode past them.

The two walked for a while, and a fork in the path appeared on the left side of the trail. Pang Meng stopped, staring at the fork in the road, thoughtful. Yuan Liulang walked in front, and when he saw that Pang Meng didn't follow, he stopped and shouted, "What's wrong?" Let's go. ”

Pang Meng had an indescribable feeling in his heart, which appeared from time to time. He looked around with a blank expression. Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a bush of grass on the side of the path. There seemed to be something strange in the grass, and a few rays of morning light fell on it, refracting a little light.

He was strange in his heart, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a piece of wood, because it was stained with dew, so it was shining, and he felt funny, and turned to leave. He subconsciously glanced back again, and suddenly felt that the wooden slip seemed familiar, so he took two steps forward and bent down to pick it up, and his face changed suddenly when he saw it clearly. This wooden slip is the talisman he sent to Zhao Wuxuan.

"What's going on?" He didn't know the bottom of his heart, and looked up at the front.

The path was covered by vegetation and could not tell where it leads, so he took a few steps forward and saw a stone tablet on the side of the road, which read the words "Qiannanyi". Leaning over to investigate, he suddenly found that there were marks on the path where the horse's hooves had just stepped on, and he thought it was not good, so he got up and called Yuan Liulang loudly. When Yuan Liulang came over, he didn't care about explaining, and said, "Zhao Wushu is in danger for them, let's hurry over." ”

The two rushed to the deserted post out of breath, and happened to bump into the scene of Heng San slashing Zhao Wuzhi.

·

After Pang Meng finished finding them, she said angrily: "We're still late." ”

Xu Yu was also afraid after listening to Pang Meng's narration, and stroked her chest and said: "I owe you to be careful, otherwise our lives will not be guaranteed." ”

Pang Meng asked about the situation of the others, and Ling Yue said: "Song Bo and Song Niang originally traveled with us, but then they got separated, and now I don't know where they are. Xu Yu was quite embarrassed beside her, and her face was red and white.

Pang Meng thought for a moment, called Yuan Liulang, and said, "The journey to Chang'an this time is quite difficult, and what I'm worried about is Xu Yu and Song Bo. You take the first step, and it is best to find Song Bo and Song Niang and accompany them to Chang'an. I walked with Xu Yu. Yuan Liulang nodded in agreement.
