Liu Yunxiang frowned, who has she been looking for?

Who?

Could it be ......

Liu Yunxiang covered his mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but tremble.

The next day, the two dressed up as a couple doing small business and went into the city. The gates were heavily guarded, and everyone who entered the city was strictly checked.

Because Beijin is located in the north of the Central Plains continent, there are many cold months in the year, so it is not suitable for crop growth. Because of its southern, relatively warm climate, and fertile land, this Yuzhou city is an important and largest grain producing area in Beijin.

The grain and grass on the western border depend on Yuzhou, and the southern border also depends on Yuzhou, so Yuzhou has also become a place for soldiers to compete for.

In the city of Yuzhou, there are many pavilions, shops are lined up one after another, and the street sells pawns to and fro, and it is very prosperous and lively along the way.

The overseer of Yuzhou is Han Rin's son-in-law, which is also equivalent to the fat of Yuzhou in his hands.

Liu Yunxiang noticed something and subconsciously wanted to turn back, but the king of England stopped her.

"Someone is following us."

Liu Yunxiang came to a stall selling rouge gouache, picked up a box of rouge and looked at it, and looked behind him secretly.

A few beggars!

She looked at the King of England in confusion, and the King frowned, as if he couldn't guess the identity of the other party.

"It stands to reason that we have already gotten rid of Han Zhao."

Yan Du would hold Han Zhao back and buy him time to collect incriminating evidence, it was impossible to do so quickly.

The two of them continued to walk forward, and the beggars quietly drowned in the crowd, but did not follow them all the time.

There were 12 people who went to Beijing to sue the emperor at the beginning, and except for the scholar, the rest were killed.

"Let's verify the identities of these 11 victims first."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Okay." ”

According to the scholar's confession, the two inquired all the way to the first house, and it was the old woman who opened the door for them.

The old woman was very thin, because of her perennial work, her waist had bent, and she was holding the door at this time, looking at them.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old woman's voice was hoarse, and she spoke weakly.

"May I ask if this is Li Hongan's house?" Cold Rain asked.

The old woman's expression froze, as if she was afraid that they would see something, so she hurriedly lowered her head, "Yes......"

"We are Jin An who came to investigate the case of Li Hongan's lawsuit against the overseer of Yuzhou for eating empty salaries, can you tell us more about what you know?"

"My son is dead......"

"Yes, we're here to find out the truth."

"What the truth, what is the empty salary, my son died of illness, and he died at home!"

"Dead at home?"

"Yes, now I am buried in the ancestral grave, anyway, I don't know what you said. Hurry up and go, don't delay my work! ”

"Then do you know Zhang Heng?"

Zhang Heng is that scholar.

"I don't know! Haven't heard of it! ”

The old woman, looking irritable, drove them out, and then closed the door.

Leng Yufei took a deep breath, turned his head to Liu Yunxiang and said, "It seems that Xie Shengmao has sealed their mouths." ”

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Let's go ask the other families." ”

"Hmm."

The two of them walked six houses until it was dark, and the rhetoric was the same as the first, and they did not ask a word of usefulness.

They came out of the alley and found someone following them.

"It should be Xie Shengmao's person."

Since Xie Shengmao had already arranged it, he naturally received the news from the moment they entered the first place.

"Master, okay, let's reward a few copper plates for our brother to have a full meal!"

"Go, go!"

"We haven't eaten in days!"

"Get out of the way!"

Liu Yunxiang turned around and saw that the people who were following them were entangled by a few beggars, and immediately glanced at Leng Yuhai, and the two quickly took the opportunity to slip away.

The two did not have a guest house, found a dilapidated temple, and planned to spend the night.

The cold rain lit a fire, and Liu Yunxiang took out the cake to bake.

Liu Yunxiang saw Leng Yuxiao sitting by the fire, frowning, looking puzzled.

"Are we going to ask the rest tomorrow? If we have asked and still can't ask anything, what do we do next? ”

Leng Yufei snorted coldly: "Then Xie Shengmao is capable, but with such a big case, it is impossible to be impermeable and watertight, but we don't have much time." ”

Liu Yunxiang pondered for a while and said, "Maybe we shouldn't ask these guys, we should look for other breakthroughs." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard movement inside the ruined temple, and immediately got up and hid behind Leng Yuhail.

Leng Yufei grabbed the hilt of the sword and shouted inside: "Who is inside?" Come out! ”

"Wow wow!"

In response to the cold rain, it was the cry of a child, and then out of it came a ragged woman with a little girl of three or four years old in her arms.

The woman looked frightened and cowered with the child in her arms.

Seeing this, Leng Yufei put away his sword.

Liu Yunxiang took two steps forward and said gently: "We didn't know that there were still people here, and we were sorry to disturb you." We don't have a place to live right now, can we borrow a place to stay overnight? ”

The woman looked up, glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and then at the cake she was baking.

At this time, the child in her arms also shouted: "Mother, I'm hungry!" I want to eat bread! ”

It turned out to be because of the smell of the scones, or the mother and daughter wouldn't have shown their faces!

"Uh, do you eat bread?"

The woman was still a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

"Let's sit down by the fire, this bread needs to be baked."

The woman glanced at Leng Yufei a little timidly, and seeing her fear, Liu Yunxiang hurriedly said: "This is my husband, we are all good people." ”

Xu saw that Liu Yunxiang had a kind face, so the woman took the child and sat down by the fire.

Liu Yunxiang first baked two cakes and distributed them to the woman and her daughter, and the mother and daughter immediately devoured them.

Leng Yufei took a few steps back and sat down in front of a wooden pillar in the ruined temple.

Liu Yunxiang baked another cake, and when he handed it to him, he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, you are so far away from the fire, are you not afraid of the cold?" ”

Leng Yujun frowned, "It's not cold." ”

"Won't it be because we're both women, and you don't feel comfortable?"

"That's a lot of nonsense!"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, sat back again, and saw that the mother and daughter quickly finished eating the cakes in their hands, and they didn't seem to be full, so she baked two more for them.

"Eldest sister, are you a native of Yuzhou?"

The woman nodded, "Yes." ”

"Eldest sister, don't blame me for being abrupt, how did you and the child get to this point?"

The woman was silent for a while, and then whispered, "There is a disaster in the house." ”

"So, what about the rest of your family?"

"Dead."

Liu Yunxiang saw that the woman didn't seem to want to talk about these things, so he stopped asking and brought them the baked cakes.

Liu Yunxiang fell asleep next to the fire, and when he was sleeping deeply, he was suddenly woken up by a burst of crying. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and saw the little girl sitting by the fire crying.

She looked around but didn't see the woman, and then turned her head to look at Leng Yuhail, who also opened his eyes at this time.

"Hey, where's the eldest sister?"

Leng Yufei frowned, "It's not going to be gone." ”

"Why, she didn't bring any children."

Liu Yunxiang sat down, hugged the little girl into his arms, and coaxed her: "Don't cry, your mother will be back soon, I will wait with you." ”

But when it was daybreak, the woman did not return.

Liu Yunxiang had to accept the fact that they had a child inexplicably.
