Chapter 24: The Five Queens
In the Great Sui, the highest governor of a county is called Taishou, which is equivalent to a high-ranking official of a prefecture-level city.
The second-in-command county is equivalent to the mayor,
The third-in-command county lieutenant is equivalent to the chief of the public security bureau plus the president of the court and the president of the procuratorate.
Hedong County is a feudal county, that is, there is a king, so Taishou is not the boss, the boss is the king of the county.
Yang Ming didn't want the current county, so the officials could only change him.
And Li Jing was recommended by Yang Su, and Niu Hong, the secretary of the ministry, helped to speak, and Gao Gong saw that the late general Han Baohu had no objection in the face, so he was smoothly transferred to Hedong County.
As for the Taishou of Hedong County, Yang Ming couldn't move, because Taishou Dou Qing was Yang Jian's nephew and Li Yuan's daughter-in-law's cousin.
Helping the second dog excuse him, Yang Ming was in a bad mood,
Transferring Li Jing to Hedong, Yang Ming was in a good mood.
When he returned to Nanshan again, he was confused......
Because Yang Jun lost it,
At the same time, Pei Shuying was also lost......
"Don't cry, sister, the second brother will be fine, so many people have gone into the mountains to search, and sooner or later they will find it."
Yang Ming really didn't know how to comfort Yang Chan, anyway, he couldn't listen to the other party, except for crying.
At this moment, it has been four days since he and Yang Jun last met.
If you can't find anyone in a few days, something will go wrong.
It shouldn't be, Yang Jian has dozens of relatives around him, and he doesn't bring dry food and drinking water, so it stands to reason that he won't run too far, why can't he find anyone for four days in a row?
At this time, Xu Jing came in from outside the tent and said with a solemn face:
"Master, I asked clearly, there are thirty-two attendants who followed the third master, and seventeen people on Miss Pei's side, except for Xu Ming, who was in a coma, all of them were gone, and the last thing to see them was a soldier hiding in the mountains to guard."
"Those soldiers said that the third master did not take them away to the dense woodland in the south, but circled under a waterfall for two hours and then returned north, because if the third master went south, those soldiers would stand up and dissuade them."
"And that waterfall is only fifty miles away from the camp, and it can be reached in one day, which is very strange."
Yang Ming frowned and said, "Where is Xu Ming?" ”
"Xu Ming is at the eldest princess right now," Xu Jing said: "Someone from the Criminal Department has already arrived, and they should still be interrogated." ”
After instructing the maid to be optimistic about Yang Chan, Yang Ming went straight to the eldest princess's big tent.
Yang Jin's disappearance is indeed very strange, if he is really lost in the mountains, there is still hope of finding someone, but if someone is a troublemaker, then Yang Jin is more auspicious.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to do something to the emperor and grandson? Yang Ming felt that it was unlikely.
In addition to Yang Lihua, there is also a middle-aged man in official uniform, as well as a beautiful nun.
After Yang Lihua saw Yang Ming, she took the initiative to introduce him:
"This is He Zongbo of the Criminal Department, and this is Master Huaguang. The specific situation will be explained in detail by He Shilang for you. ”
He Zongbo is the Simen of the Criminal Department, who is the fifth product, and is responsible for investigating the disappearance of the emperor's grandson.
"Xu Ming, the attendant of His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, was found in Niuer Mountain, and was still in a coma when he was found, and he didn't wake up until he was brought back to the camp."
He revealed that His Royal Highness and Miss Pei and his party were roasting venison at that time, and when he was halfway through eating, he felt groggy in his head, and as for what happened after that, he had no idea at all.
"The Criminal Department has special interrogators, and after careful interrogation, it was determined that Xu Ming did not lie, but the barbecue location identified by Xu Ming and the place where he was found were gathered thirty miles."
"So we have to guess that someone is targeting His Royal Highness King Yuzhang or Miss Pei."
Yang Ming's eyes widened, and he said in a deep voice: "Since it is determined that it is artificial, what deployments have you made?" ”
He Zongbo was very surprised by Yang Ming's old age, originally thought that the other party was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old county king, and he could just explain the progress of the case in detail, but he didn't expect the other party to show unexpected calmness.
"Back to Your Highness, the eldest princess has ordered that the Nanshan camp is allowed to enter but not leave, and has asked the military department to send five thousand armor soldiers from the Zhichong Mansion to block the perimeter, and we suspect that the perpetrator is in the camp."
Treating the darling of the two saints in front of him, He Zongbo no longer dared to slack off, but reported the known situation in detail.
After Yang Ming listened, he glanced at Yang Lihua, who had a gloomy face on the main seat, and then sat down next to the beautiful nun.
"There's Rauga-sama."
"Don't dare!" He Zongbo hurriedly said: "If you are lowly, you should do everything you can to find His Royal Highness King Yuzhang." ”
After speaking, he waved his hand at Yang Lihua and withdrew from the big tent.
Yang Ming knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, it was useless to be anxious, nearly 10,000 people went into the mountains to search for no result, and it was the same if he went by himself.
Yang Lihua looked at Yang Ming and sighed: "If something happens to Yang Ming, the first person to ask the queen mother is me, and Ah Ming will not give up with me, alas, ......."
Yang Ming didn't say anything, in fact, the security of the camp had been done very well, not to mention that Yang Jian and Pei Shuying had elite masters around them, and no one expected that there would be an accident.
At this time, Yang Ming looked curiously at Master Huaguang, who had not spoken beside him.
It's very strange that although the other party is wearing a simple robe, he gives people a sense of nobility and jewelry, and his appearance is unusually outstanding, not much worse than Yang Lihua.
There is also a faint fragrance on the body, which is refreshing.
How can a nun be so fragrant?
Yang Lihua found that Yang Ming's small eyes were curiously looking at Hua Guang, so she explained:
"Huaguang's original surname is Hou Mo Chen, and later changed his name to Chen Yueyi, she is the Tianzuo Empress of Emperor Xuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is also my good sister, after the collapse of the emperor, she became a nun and became a nun, and the dojo was in Niuer Mountain, and she was the first to discover Xu Ming."
Chen Yueyi smiled and nodded towards Yang Ming.
"I see, that's ......," Yang Ming suddenly realized.
Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyun, was the only strange emperor in history, because he set up five queens at the same time.
Yang Lihua is the Empress of Tianyuan, Zhu Manyue is the Empress of Tianyuan, Yuan Leshang is the Empress of Tianyou, Chen Yueyi is the Empress of Tianzuo, and Wei Chi Chifan is the Empress of Tianzhong.
It is said that after Yu Wenyun's death, except for Yang Lihua, everyone else became a nun.
No wonder it looks so graceful and magnificent, not like a monk at all.
At this time, a female official suddenly came in outside the tent and said:
"Eldest princess, the news came from the search team, and four more people were found successively, three of them were the attendants of His Royal Highness King Yuzhang, and one was Miss Pei's maid, they were all found in a sober state, and the four of them had no traces of injury, but the maid among them did not enter the water and rice for a long time, and suffered from the wind and cold in the mountain at night, and her life was in danger."
Yang Lihua's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "Let people increase the search range, it must be fast." ”
"Yes!"
"This is good news," Yang Lihua seemed to be a little more relaxed, "The five people found now have no signs of injury, and I hope that Yang Jun will not have an accident, otherwise, how can I explain to Ah Xuan." ”
"His Royal Highness King Yuzhang has the blessing of the emperor, nothing will happen, my sister must not blame herself," Hua Guang said with relief on the side.
It was useless to continue to stay, Yang Ming simply got up and said goodbye.
Out of the camp tent, he directly took Chen Shuyi, Pang Ben and others, and rode to the south.
.......
The camp for this spring outing is located at the northern foot of Nanshan Mountain, close to the official road of Lantian County.
The southern foot of Nanshan Mountain is an endless primeval forest, that is, the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains.
Yang Yong: They got lost in the south.
When Yang Ming rushed to the logistics support point temporarily set up by the Criminal Department at the southern edge of the camp, three more people were found one after another.
Among them, the samurai were almost uninjured because of their physical toughness, and only the maid from Pei Mansion was helpless due to severe dehydration and wind cold.
The logistics support point is full of drinking water, food, and medicine, as well as oil, mules, horses, and cotton clothes to provide support for the mountain search team.
It's noisy, but it's not chaotic.
Yang Ming found the people from the Criminal Department, and after questioning, he found that the situation of the latest rescued people was completely the same as Xu Ming, and they all started to have accidents from that venison.
And the places where these people were found are completely different.
Who the hell did this? Is it for Yang Jun? Or Bae Shuying?
For the first time since Yang Ming crossed over, he had no sense of security.
