Riding a horse in such a crowded place is easy to get into an accident.

When Zhu Gaoxuan turned around, he saw that a child had not come back to his senses, standing in the middle of the road, looking at the tall horse close at hand, motionless.

And the owner of the horse had no intention of avoiding it.

Zhu Gaoxuan had to take action and quickly carried the child to the side of the road.

The child's grandmother was also frightened silly just now, and at this time she hugged her grandson and cried bitterly.

Many passers-by whispered at this time.

"Thanks to the boy who rescued him just now, otherwise, this child would have become a ghost under the horse's hooves like the old man a few days ago."

"Those few just now seem to be the prefect's entourage."

"These people are fighting against people, and they have done all the bad things, why aren't they struck by five thunderbolts from the sky?"

"Hey, who doesn't know that our Sioux City is a place where there is no king's law, don't say anything."

……

It seems that the people of Sioux City have no good impression of this prefect, but most of them dare not speak out.

Zhu Gaoxuan took Yan Yun and left quickly.

After walking out for a while, Yan Yun couldn't help but speak.

"Those officers and soldiers just now were really too much, why didn't the prince repair them well?"

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head.

"The time is not yet ripe, if you start early, you will startle the snake."

When they came out, two retinues followed behind.

At this time, he disappeared for some reason.

Yan Yun wondered in his heart.

"Lord Wang, what about the two of them?"

Not far ahead, the post station is located.

About a few dozen meters away from the post station, there is a horse-drawn carriage on the side of the road.

Zhu Gaoxuan raised his hand and pointed.

"They're waiting for us there."

Yan Yun was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much more.

The two of them got into the carriage directly.

The two people in the carriage handed over the clothes of the officers and soldiers who they didn't know where to get them, and then got out of the carriage directly.

Yan Yun asked while changing clothes.

"Where do you want to go? You don't want to take me to the prefect's yamen for a spin, right? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled slightly and spoke.

"I won't go to the prefect's yamen today, it's good to see Master Li only today."

Although the post house is usually guarded, it is still relatively easy to blend in.

The prefect's yamen is different, the prefect's yamen is heavily guarded, if you don't get through the relationship in advance, it will be unrealistic to want to swagger in.

Yan Yun was a little puzzled.

"Why did you go to see Master Li? It seems that he has never found a clue about the loss of tribute silver. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled and shook his head.

"The king doesn't really care about where the tribute goes now. This king wants to know more, what good things has this prefect done in normal times? ”

After the two people were fully dressed, they did not get out of the car.

The two attendants turned the carriage directly to the back door of the inn.

The foot door at the back was originally locked inside, but the two attendants didn't know how to get it, so they opened the lock.

Then Zhu Gaoxuan and the two of them swaggered in.

At this time, it was not early, and the lights were already lit in the inn.

It seems that there are not many people living in it, so only the front is lit up, and the back is still dark.

The two of them walked straight ahead.

When he reached the top of the cloister, he suddenly saw someone in front of him.

It was also a man dressed as a guard, and after seeing the two, he seemed to be stunned for a moment.

"Why do you look a little dumbfounded?"

Zhu Gaoxuan's face does not change color, and his heart does not beat.

"I see you're still young, you're new, aren't you?"

The man asked him such a rhetorical question, but he was a little confused.

He scratched his head.

"I'm not new, but where are you going?"

Zhu Gaoxuan blurted out.

"Of course, I'm going to see Master Li. The adult asked us to go out to buy something, and I was about to send it to him. ”

The man looked at the two men with a look of disbelief.

"My lord told you to go out shopping? When? ”

If Zhu Gaoxuan couldn't hear the other meaning of his words, it would be too much to say.

He couldn't help but be stunned......

Is something wrong with you?

"It was a few days ago, I went out to look for it, but I didn't buy it, so I went out to look for it again, and I didn't think I could really buy it......"

His words successfully dispelled the man's doubts.

"I see. But the adults are still unconscious, so there is no need to rush to send them over. ”

How could Master Lee be unconscious?

Zhu Gaoxuan wondered in his heart, and it was not easy to get to the bottom of it.

"I'm worried that I'll forget about it later, anyway, now that the adult is in this situation, I won't affect his rest, so I'll just send it over."

Without saying anything more, he took Yan Yun directly to the front of the main room.

Master Li is also a minister, so he naturally wants to live in the main house, and among all the main houses, only this one is lit, so he should naturally live here.

Outside of Lord Li's residence, there was no one guarding it.

When the two men pushed the door in, they found two men inside, napping on the table.

Hearing the door open, the two men immediately looked up.

They looked at Zhu Gaoxuan and the two of them with puzzled expressions.

"Who are you? Who let you in? ”

Zhu Gaoxuan was not polite, and sat down directly on the chair.

"I want to ask who you are? You are from Governor Liu's mansion or Li Daren's people. ”

Those two people were going to have a seizure.

But seeing that Zhu Gaoxuan had a strong aura, he felt that this man was not simple, so he put up with it for the time being.

"Of course we are the people next to Master Lee. How can we rest assured that someone else will take care of him now? ”

"I don't care who you are, we can't hand over Master Li to you."

Zhu Gaoxuan did not reveal his identity, but took out a jade pendant from his arms that could prove his identity.

Zhu Gaoxuan's jade pendant is somewhat similar to Zhu Zhanji's jade pendant, but it is not exactly the same.

This is the exclusive jade pendant of the princes of the dynasty, one per person.

Usually people in Kyoto recognize this jade pendant.

However, some local bureaucrats and their subordinates are mostly unrecognized.

Zhu Gaoxuan wanted to verify their identities.

Those who can follow Lord Qincha are naturally the people of the Imperial Forest Army, if the other party can't recognize this jade pendant, it proves that they just lied, and they are not Lord Li's people at all......

The two men took the jade pendant in their hands, looked up and down, and their faces became complicated.

Immediately, the two of them got up directly, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed.

"I've seen the prince, but I don't know, which prince are you? Did you come to Sioux City for the sake of the tribute? ”
