The three of them subconsciously lowered their eyes.

I saw a picture drawn on the book, and next to it were a few words.

This moment.

The air in the room seemed to come to a standstill.

The silence is suffocating.

Qiu'er snuggled in Ren Pingsheng's arms, looking at the books that fell to the ground in a daze, her pretty face flushed.

Because of shame, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and his body trembled slightly.

His mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't make a sound.

Not far away.

Mu Rou's performance was not much different from her.

At this moment.

Their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to say or do.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Soon.

Ren Pingsheng broke the silence and asked, "Is Miss Qiu'er okay?" ”

Qiu'er knew that Shizi must have seen the contents of the book.

The body froze slightly, forced not to cry, shook his head, and said, "No, it's okay......"

Ren Pingsheng said casually: "The ground is slippery, be careful when walking." ”

Then, holding her body steady, she walked up to Mu Rou as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "Miss Mu is free, I have something I want to talk to Miss Mu." ”

Side.

When Qiu'er saw this scene, she was slightly stunned: "Didn't the prince read the content of the book clearly, otherwise how could he behave so indifferently?" ”

Think so.

Her near-hopelessness had finally recovered somewhat.

Hurriedly squatted down, picked up a few books scattered on the ground, put them in his arms, and walked quickly out of the room.

The other side.

Mu Rou was also relieved when she saw Qiu'er leaving, and said, "Ren Gongzi, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ren Pingsheng looked at Mu Rou in front of him, his expression returned to normal, hesitated for a moment, and decided to say his thoughts bluntly: "I can't hide it, I thought about what Miss Mu said to me last night.

As for the relationship, since it can't be controlled, it's good to let it be, and Miss Mu doesn't have to have psychological pressure. ”

This is a rejection...... Or acceptance?

Mu Rou didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and was slightly stunned.

After thinking for a few seconds, I reacted.

Ren Gongzi means not to refuse or accept, and to wait for a while to see how the situation develops.

Although I think it's a bit weird.

Mu Rou still nodded lightly, "Hmm".

Follow.

Ren Pingsheng asked again: "Miss Mu drank for the first time last night?" ”

When Mu Rou heard this, she recalled many scenes from last night again, her pretty face flushed, and she bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

"Does your head still hurt?"

Ren Pingsheng showed concern on his face and asked in a gentle tone.

It is normal for people to have a first hangover and wake up with a splitting headache.

Xiao Tianshi was drunk like that last night, and he thought he had drunk a lot of wine, so it stands to reason that he should have a headache.

Mu Rou heard this tone full of concern, subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Ren Pingsheng, saw a soft light in his eyes, her heart trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her head again, and whispered, "It's okay." ”

This time.

Ren Pingsheng stretched out his hands and gently brushed the ends of her sideburns behind her ears.

Then, gently pressing her temple with your thumb, she asked softly, "It will feel better." ”

Feel the warm touch.

There seemed to be an electric current surging in Mu Rou's heart, crispy and numb, which could not be described in words.

"Miss Mu is sitting here, and I will massage Miss Mu."

The voice sounded in my ears, with a little warmth.

Mu Rou wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she still chose to be obedient and sat on the chair obediently.

Ren Pingsheng was gentle and pressed her temples, and the link was uncomfortable.

A moment later.

Mu Rou gradually adapted, her brows furrowed, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Minutes and seconds passed.

After a stick of incense.

She grabbed Ren Pingsheng's wrist, blushed, turned her head to look at him, and said softly: "Okay, okay......"

Ren Pingsheng withdrew his hand and said softly: "The case in Lanzhou City is estimated to take some days to be solved, if Miss Mu feels bored, you can walk around the city, if you feel too tired, just rest in the house, don't think too much, come out to play, the most important thing is to be happy......"

Mu Rou's heart warmed, and she bowed slightly: "Thank you Gongzi Ren." ”

Ren Pingsheng nodded, didn't say more, just said, "Since that's the case, I won't disturb Miss Mu's rest." ”

With that, he turned around and left the house.

Mu Rou sat on the chair, watching Ren Pingsheng's back disappear, her eyes showed a touch of trance, and she felt empty in her heart inexplicably.

But thinking of what he had just done for himself, there was another warm current in his heart.

Thinking: Although Ren Gongzi didn't say it explicitly, he probably still missed me, but because His Royal Highness Chang An was here, it was not good to go further......

Fortunately, there is no certain book, a certain sound, and the exchange of information is not well developed.

Otherwise, the simple little heavenly master will know that this kind of behavior has a very apt name, called fish farming.

Ren Pingsheng also has a very appropriate name, called a scumbag.

…………

Ren Pingsheng walked out of the room, thinking of the books Qiu'er was holding before, his expression became a little strange.

With his understanding of Mu Rou and Qiu'er.

Those books are most likely not bought by them on their own initiative.

As for why it appeared with them, maybe it was a misunderstanding?

Frankly.

For a moment, he had the urge to ask for clarification, and finally restrained himself.

"Just a few books, I'll ask again when I have a chance in the future."

Think so.

Ren Pingsheng turned around and left.

Didn't take a few steps.

Li Yong walked over head-on: "My lord, the whereabouts of that person are clear!" ”

Ren Pingsheng turned his head to look at him and asked, "Who?" ”

Li Yong said: "The scholar who escaped from the back door of the Yamen, after he left the Yamen, he went straight to the port of Shanzhou, no accident, there should be someone in the port of Shanzhou." ”

Ren Pingsheng's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a few seconds, Zhengse said: "Let people keep an eye on him, if he has any movement to escape, intercept it immediately!" ”

"Yes, Shizi!"

Li Yong bowed respectfully and walked away quickly.

Ren Pingsheng stood in place, looking at his back, his eyes were gloomy.

Since he went around the port of Lanzhou, he realized that there must be some collusion between the Yamen of Lanzhou and those Hu merchants.

Now.

The scholar's movements prove this.

Next, what he needs to do is to find out what exactly happened between the Tongzhi and those Hu people, and why they killed the Tongzhi of Lanzhou.

Of course.

Tongzhi of Lanzhou is a six-grade Confucian student, and his psychological quality is extremely strong, and it is difficult to get something useful from his mouth just by relying on coercion, inducement, and torture.

Really want to get substantive leads.

We still have to focus on those Hu people.

Not surprisingly, the scholar was just a liaison between Hu Ren and the Yamen of Lanzhou, and he would not know too much news.

still have to lure the snake out of the hole, lure out the key people behind the scenes, and then catch them all.

Before that, you only need to do one thing, that is, wait quietly, monitor closely, and grasp the opportunity to take the initiative.

That's it.

Ren Pingsheng returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and cultivate.

…………

Port of Shanzhou.

Zhou Xin came to a certain merchant ship, looked around, and after making sure that he was not being followed, he came to the bed cabin and called softly: "Your Excellency, ......"

A moment later.

Out of the shadows came a middle-aged man dressed in beast fur and looking powerful, blonde hair and blue eyes, who knew at a glance that he was a Hu man.

"What do I want?"

Zhou Xin said: "That Lanzhou Tongzhi was controlled by the Qin messenger from the capital, our batch of goods, there is no danger at present, but after a long time, it is impossible to say."

I think that compared to that batch of goods, it is more important to keep this route, and we should leave in time while the fire from the capital has not yet burned to the port.

Wait for the Tongzhi of Lanzhou to get out of the quagmire, and then get back this batch of goods, if the Tongzhi of Nazhou fails to bear this experience, let's find a way, it is nothing more than silver, money, women, the new prefect and Tongzhi, there is always one who can be caught by us. ”

When the middle-aged Hu man heard this, his face showed dissatisfaction, he looked at Zhou Xin, and asked coldly: "What if the new prefect and Tongzhi are still the same as the previous ones?" ”

"This ......"

Zhou Xin looked hesitant, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The middle-aged Hu said: "Before coming here, I promised the priest that I would go back with sufficient weapons and armor...... So, no matter what happens, whatever the cost, I'm going to take the goods back! ”

“……”

When Zhou Xin heard this, he was even more silent.

After a while, he said: "Then I have to ask my lord to send someone to the Yamen of Nazhou to bring back the Tongzhi of Lanzhou, and now only he knows where the goods are placed." ”

The middle-aged Hu Ren looked at Zhou Xin and said lukewarmly: "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Me?"

Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "The humble position is just a small seventh-grade monk, where can you bring out the sixth-grade Confucian students in the midst of heavy guards, my lord, you should spare the humble duty." ”

The middle-aged Hu Ren saw him resign, and his face was dissatisfied.

But he also knew in his heart that he really couldn't do this.

To be exact.

If you want to know where the goods are, the entire Lanzhou port, only you can do it.

After a long silence.

He finally made a decision, looked at Zhou Xin, and ordered: "You and your people are ready in the port, know the location of the goods, go and retrieve them immediately, and send them to the ship." ”

"Obedience!"

Zhou Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him let himself go, and bowed respectfully.

Minutes and seconds passed.

In the blink of an eye.

It's night.

Although the cold winter has passed.

But at night, the city is still very cold.

The soldiers patrolling the streets, dressed in thick clothes, stood in place, chatting in groups of threes and twos, reluctant to even walk a few more steps.

The whole city seemed silent.

At this moment.

In the alley outside the yamen.

The burly, fur-clad middle-aged bearded man before leaned against the wall, observing everything around him with his divine sense.

The soldiers who are sure to guard will only stand behind them.

He bit his finger and drew a string of runes on the ground with blood, followed by something in a mosquito-like voice.

Accompanied by his whispered chanting.

The runes drawn from blood actually emitted a faint light.

Subsequently.

A wisp of green smoke parted from the back of his head and went straight to the yamen.

Yamen, somewhere in a room.

Lanzhou Tongzhi sat on a chair, holding an ancient book of saints in his hand, looking at it from top to bottom.

I watched it for a while.

As if he had sensed something, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked out the window.

There, a wisp of green smoke drifted in through the gap.

In his astonished eyes.

The wisp of green smoke turned into a human form, turned into a phantom, and stood there.

Meanwhile.

A man's voice appeared in his head.

"Where do I put the goods I want?"

Although it was said in the official dialect of the Great Zhou, it sounded a little awkward.

Almost instantaneously.

Lanzhou Tongzhi realized his identity, and said coldly: "I don't know if this official can live until tomorrow, you are asking this official for your goods now?" ”

The voice fell.

The voice followed in response: "Whether you can live until tomorrow or not has nothing to do with me, I just want the goods." ”

When he heard this, he was a little annoyed, and said with a sneer: "To tell you the truth, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, if something happens to me, don't want to leave Da Zhou one by one." ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The atmosphere froze.

Just a moment.

The voice threatened, "If you don't tell where the goods are, you won't live today." ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi was slightly stunned, and then his eyes became deeper.

He knew it in his heart.

This guy in front of him does have the ability to kill himself quietly.

After all, the two new prefects died at his hands.

But he didn't believe that the other party dared to kill him.

After all, after he died, no one knew about the goods that the other party wanted.

Lanzhou Tongzhi looked fearless, raised his head slightly, and said calmly: "Since this is the case, you will kill this official." ”

“……”

Seeing him like this, the phantom fell silent.

After a while, Fang said: "I'll take you away, and you hand over the location of the goods." ”

Lanzhou Tongzhi sneered: "This official has been studying hard for more than ten years, and only then did he have today's position, and you made an understatement to make this official give up everything?"

The official told you that the official is not going anywhere, so he will stay here.

During these days, you restrain your people, don't cause trouble for this official, as long as Na Qincha can't find evidence, even if he has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, he won't dare to kill people easily! ”

It was a decision he had made before it was dark.

In his eyes.

Na Qincha threatened himself like a scoundrel before, which just shows that he did not have any substantial evidence to prove that the deaths of the previous three prefects had something to do with him.

He said that he just wanted to expose the evidence in his panic.

But.

As long as you stay calm and don't be threatened by the other person.

will survive this crisis.

That's it.

He looked at the phantom and continued: "This official reminds you that the Qincha is not an idle person, you don't act rashly, after this limelight, the official will send you a lot of goods."

But if you act rashly and leave a handle for Naqincha, it will affect your own officials, your goods, and your future business, all of which will be ruined, do you understand? ”

Speaking of which.

He suddenly thought of something, looked at the phantom, and asked a little nervously, "Will you be discovered when you come to this official?" (End of chapter)
