The residence of the prefect of Ningshui.

Wei Zhifu hurried to the East Cross Courtyard.

The subordinates outside the door of the wing room reported, "General, the Wei Governor's Mansion is here." ”

There was an "um" in the room, and Governor Wei was taken into the room.

As soon as he entered the wing room, the door was closed from the outside, and most of the light in the room was instantly blocked, which made the eyes of Wei Zhifu, who had just come in from the outside, darken.

He subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and when he lowered his sleeves, there was already a tall black shadow in front of him.

"Governor Wei, long time no see!"

When Governor Wei heard this voice, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he hurriedly bowed his hand, "General Liu!" ”

General Liu glanced lightly at the Wei Governor's Mansion in front of him, which was completely different from three years ago.

Three years ago, Wei Zhifu was still lean, but now Wei Zhifu's body is more than twice as large, and the official uniform is worn on him, making the fat around his waist clear, and he is trembling slightly with the tension of Wei Zhifu.

General Liu sat back at his desk, "Governor Wei, how are you doing?" ”

Wei Zhifu didn't dare to look at General Liu's expression at all, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Back to General Liu, I have already sent all the officials in the Ningshui Yamen out to search, for the time being, ...... There are no results yet...... All the officers and soldiers who could be sent out in the government were also dispatched......"

"Where's Captain Xue?"

Wei Zhifu shrank his head, "The lower officials don't know ......"

In an instant, a cup of tea filled with hot tea flew in the direction of the Wei Governor's Mansion.

Although his body is stupid, he is not slow to react, but he probably didn't realize that he was fat so fast, although he deviated slightly, the hot tea still smashed on his arm, and he couldn't help but make a "hiss" sound.

Although he was insulted by General Liu, Wei Zhifu did not dare to reply.

He and Xue Duwei are both magistrates in Ningshui, he is in charge of civil affairs, Xue Duwei is in charge of military affairs, the two are at the same level, where can they influence Xue Duwei, General Liu Isn't this embarrassing!

"Okay, you're a prefect of Wei, I remember!" After speaking, General Liu got up angrily and said to the guards outside the door: "Go, go to Xue Duwei's mansion!" ”

How can people search the whole city by relying only on the Ningshui Yamen!

He needs Xue Duwei to send troops to cooperate.

There are already clues about Qin Shuhuang, although no one has been caught yet, but he can be sure that Qin Shuhuang is in this Ningshui City, as long as Xue Duwei comes out, he can turn Ningshui over, and he can't find Qin Shuhuang if he doesn't believe it!

Xue Duwei is not the regent's man.

This person climbed up from the army, and later married the young daughter of the Guo family of the Ningshui clan, and only then did he get the position of captain of Ningshui step by step.

Although Ningshui is a big city in the south, it is still far away from the capital, and it is far less than a land of fish and rice like Luozhou, so the hand of the regent has not been fully controlled for the time being.

As far as he knew, Xue Duwei was still a neutral faction, and he only needed to win over him to be useful.

General Liu and his men quickly rushed to Xue Duwei's mansion.

The Xue family was heavily guarded, and even at the gate there was a team of soldiers guarding the door.

Xue Duwei, who had just come out of the study in the front yard, received a report from the housekeeper.

The old housekeeper said with a worried face: "Master, General Liu is here, just at the door, he said that he wants to see you in person!" What to do? ”

Xue Duwei has beautiful hair, Rao is middle-aged, and he still looks like a resolute and courageous beautiful uncle.

He sneered, "Tell him that this official is not in the mansion and will go to the surrounding military camps to inspect." ”

The old butler immediately responded and left quickly.

As soon as the old housekeeper left, Xue Duwei asked Chang Sui beside him, "What about people?" ”

"I was invited to the small study by my subordinates."

"Let's go, let's go now." Xue Duwei walked towards the small study.

In the small study, Luo Chu and Qin Shuhuang were sitting at the moment.

Qin Shuhuang was dressed in an ordinary woman's dress, and she didn't even have a silver hairpin on her head, but she was sitting next to Luo Chu but she was peaceful, wrapped in rags, but her temperament couldn't be hidden.

As soon as Xue Duwei came in, he saw Luo Chu in green clothes and Qin Shuhuang in ordinary women's clothes.

He didn't see Luo Chu saluting him like everyone else, and then strode to Luo Chu's side, patted Luo Chu's shoulder hard, and called him by his name with a smile, "Luo Chu!" ”

Luo Chu did not reject Xue Duwei's movements, Rao was a little weak, and he couldn't stand Xue Duwei's hard slap and didn't get angry, but just smiled at Xue Duwei helplessly.

Xue Duwei, who had greeted Luo Chu, glanced at Qin Shuhuang and did not call her, but just gave a salute to Qin Shuhuang.

There was apparent speculation about her identity.

After Qin Shuhuang was taken away from the morning market by Luo Chu, he first went to a small courtyard of a residential house and stayed for half an hour, and then transferred to a carriage and entered the Xue Mansion from the back door of the Xue Mansion, until he saw Xue Duwei at this time.

Qin Shuhuang's eyes were slightly gloomy, but he didn't expect Xue Duwei to have a friendship with Luo Chu.

Then Xue Duwei is the person of the fourth prince Pingwang?

If this is not the case, I am afraid that the soldiers under Captain Xue have already entered the city to help General Liu search for people.

Xue Duwei asked people to serve tea and snacks to Luo Chu and Qin Shuhuang.

After a while, the maids of the Xue Mansion rushed in.

Just from the aroma of tea, you can know that this is all good tea, the dim sum is delicate and distinctive, and it is obviously also a specialty pastry of Ningshui.

In front of Luo Chu, Xue Duwei was very casual, "Eat some mats first, knowing that you have a good appetite, and the tea and snacks are good." I'll arrange lunch for you later, do you have any preferences? ”

As he said this, Xue Duwei glanced towards Qin Shuhuang.

Luo Chu smiled, "It's all right, Xue Duwei can just look at the arrangement." ”

Xue Duwei glared at him dissatisfiedly when he heard his title, and replied, "Okay, I'll look at the arrangement." ”

Qin Shuhuang didn't know what Luo Chu was going to do, and she didn't know anything about this Xue Duwei, so she didn't take a sip of the refreshments sent by the maids.

Out of the corner of his eye, Luo Chu caught a glimpse of Qin Shuhuang's movements and silently wrote it down.

After Luo Chu and Xue Duwei exchanged a few casual greetings, Xue Duwei said: "I will ask someone to arrange a room for you to rest, and let someone call you to the flower hall for dinner in a while." ”

Waiting for Xue Duwei to leave, Luo Chu walked to Qin Shuhuang's side and said: "Your Highness can rest assured, Xue Duwei is honest and resolute, and he will not play these ghost tricks of poisoning, the food in Xue's Mansion is clean, and His Highness can eat it with confidence." ”

Xue Duwei may be Luo Chu's acquaintance, but he is not Qin Shuhuang's acquaintance, and Qin Shuhuang can't believe Luo Chu's words, she said lightly: "Thank you Mr. Luo, I don't know when Mr. Luo can notify the personal guard commander of this palace?" ”

Luo Chu frowned, "Your Highness, the Regent's people have been chasing you. You and that Commander of the Guards named Xuancang have a bigger goal and are easier to discover, it is better for the two of you to be separated, if you really value him, and that Commander Xuancang is smart enough, he will definitely find you when you leave Ningshui City! ”
