The capital camp guards the yamen.

Command the embassy.

"My lord, Xiao Hongxing suddenly came to the yamen, claiming that his goods were robbed by mountain bandits halfway through, and someone died."

One of his subordinates walked quickly to the door of the office, saluted respectfully, and said.

"Who?"

Luo Ping, who was reviewing the official document, frowned, raised his head and asked suspiciously.

"Xiao Hongxing, the son of the second room of the Xiao family."

The subordinate hurriedly explained.

"Let him in."

Luo Ping pondered for a moment and said impatiently.

The subordinate agreed, turned around and left, and after a while, he took Xiao Hongxing to the office.

"Meet the Commander."

Xiao Hongxing took two steps forward and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me."

"What's the matter?"

Luo Ping waved his hand, closed the official document, and asked casually.

If it weren't for the fact that it was someone from the Xiao family who came, he wouldn't have seen such a trivial matter, but even if he did, he didn't care so much about the son of the Xiao family's second room.

Everyone in the capital knows the status of the Xiao family's second room in the Xiao family.

"My lord, the next batch of goods was suddenly attacked by mountain bandits on the way back to Beijing, and the other party not only robbed the goods, but also killed people, please command your Excellency to uphold justice in your subordinates, recover the goods, and bring the mountain bandits to justice."

Xiao Hongxing bowed his hand and said with a pleading face.

"Mountain bandits? Where? How could there be mountain bandits around the capital? ”

Luo Ping raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and blew the tea leaves, took a sip gently, and didn't care.

"It's not in the capital, it's in the territory of Jinling City."

Xiao Hongxing shook his head and hurriedly explained.

"Jinling City?!"

Listening to Xiao Hongxing's answer, Luo Ping couldn't help frowning, revealing a hint of surprise.

"That's right, this matter was originally supposed to go to Jinling City to report to the official, but the road is far away, and I have to raise a new source of goods in the next, and I can't leave for a while, and I don't know what the specific process is, as long as I come to ask the commander."

"I don't know if you came forward in person, or if you sent a message to Jinling City, and the Jinling City Government will verify it."

Xiao Hongxing looked at Luo Ping apologetically and said helplessly.

"The envoy knows, in this case, you go back and wait for the news first, and the envoy will send someone to inform you when there is a result."

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said.

"That's it?"

Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a moment and asked with some puzzlement.

"Or else? Do you want the envoy to go out for you now? ”

"This matter is not within the jurisdiction of Du Yingwei, if it weren't for the sake of your Xiao family, the envoy would not have taken your case at all."

"Go back and wait for the news first, and after the envoy verifies with Jinling City, I will make proper arrangements."

Luo Ping frowned and said impatiently.

"Okay, then there's Commander Lao."

Xiao Hongxing nodded helplessly, and after saluting, he slowly turned around and left.

Looking at Xiao Hongxing, who had returned in vain, Luo Ping smiled and shook his head.

"My lord, how should I deal with this?"

The subordinate stood aside and asked in a low voice.

"How to deal with it? This matter did not happen within the jurisdiction of the envoy, it was the matter of the Jinling City Government, and it was a shame that this kid actually found the envoy here! ”

"This envoy is busy with official business, where can he have the leisure to take care of his affairs?!"

Luo Ping said impatiently.

"My lord, after all, he is a member of the Xiao family, if you ignore it, I'm afraid..."

"Moreover, didn't Jinling City just suppress the bandits? Why is there another bandit? ”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment and said thoughtfully.

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Luo Ping's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but change his face.

That's right, two months ago, the Qianguo mission was attacked by mountain bandits in Jinling City, and no one survived the mission.

At this time, if there is another banditry, how can I explain it to Your Majesty?!

"You're right! There shouldn't be bandits in Jinling City! ”

"No, this is going to report this matter to the Ministry of War as soon as possible, and the Ministry of War will decide!"

Luo Ping patted his thigh and said that he hurriedly got up and walked out.

If he doesn't know about this matter, it's okay, since he knows, he has to take care of it, in case it gets big in the future, it will be a big crime for him to know and not report it!

Soon, Luo Ping left the Duying Guard Yamen and went straight to the military headquarters.

...

Zibo Ju.

3rd floor box.

"It's only been a long time since I saw him, and Gongzi has become a man of the hour in the capital, and he has been appreciated by His Majesty and Taiqing, and he is worthy of being a young talent."

Lin Wang Liyuan was drunk with three points, and patted Li Wuji's shoulder appreciatively and said.

Since the last separation, Li Wuji has been very busy, and he has never had time to visit King Lin, but he didn't want King Lin to suddenly come to the door today and invite him to Zibo to meet.

"The prince said and laughed, what is not stormy, in front of the prince, he is just a grass people."

"Even if he has a marquis, he is just an idle person."

Li Wuji smiled and said modestly.

"Humble, isn't it?"

"Don't talk about the capital, even if you look at the world now, who doesn't know his name from Anhou?"

"There may be people who don't know this king, but there will definitely be no one who hasn't heard of your name!"

King Lin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"It's just some false names, don't mention it."

"Drink!"

Li Wuji shook his head, interrupted Li Yuan's gushing compliments, and respectfully toasted a glass.

Li Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, raised his head and drank it all.

"Childe, let King Rong Ben ask more..."

"Is it true that Wuji died at your hands?"

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, approached Li Wuji, and asked in a low voice.

"That's right."

Li Wuji raised his eyebrows and replied slowly.

"This king heard that Wu Ji's skills are very good, when he broke out of the heavenly prison, he killed a lot of people, the son is so weak and can't help it, I didn't expect it to be a hidden master?"

Li Yuan glanced up and down at Li Wuji in surprise, and asked in disbelief.

"It's just a fluke, it was also nine deaths at that time, and I was injured for this, and I recuperated in Yangcheng for more than half a month."

Li Wuji said with a wry smile.

"Oh yes, that's right, this king heard about this, and he should have come to visit you at that time, but at that time, he was entangled in trivial matters and couldn't leave for a while, so Gongzi wouldn't be angry with this king, right?"

Li Yuan paused for a moment and said thoughtfully.

"How dare you, how dare you, the prince is serious."

"I can't thank you enough for having this heart."

Li Wuji shook his head with a smile and arched his hand.

Li Yuan smiled, said no more, raised his glass and drank with Li Wuji again, chatting with each other.

But for some reason, Li Wuji always felt that today's Liyuan was a little abnormal, as if he was deliberately testing something, and it seemed that he was hiding something.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Cao Zi'an appeared at the door.

"Childe, Xiao Hongxing is here, it seems that he is in a hurry, it seems that something has happened."

Cao Zi'an bowed to King Lin and Li Wuji respectively, and then looked at Li Wuji seriously and said.

Hearing Cao Zi'an's words, Li Wuji couldn't help frowning.

"If Childe has something to deal with, just go, don't get in the way."

Li Yuan smiled, waved his hand and said.

"It's okay, the prince will come later, when he goes down."

Li Wuji nodded, bowed, and said slowly.

"Childe, please."

Li Yuan waved his hand, and after speaking, he began to drink to himself.

Without saying much, he got up and left the box.

In the corridor, Xiao Hongxing was pacing back and forth, with an anxious look on his face.

"Something's wrong?"

Li Wuji walked quickly to the corridor, and after seeing Xiao Hongxing, he asked directly.

"Childe, something is indeed wrong."

Xiao Hongxing bowed respectfully and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Say! ”

Li Wuji raised his hand and said.

"Childe, a pharmacy under care of Xia suddenly lost a batch of goods recently, I didn't want to trouble Childe, I thought about solving it myself, but a few days have passed, and I am still at a loss."

"Seeing that the delivery date is approaching, and the new source of goods has not yet been found, I have no choice but to come to trouble the son."

Xiao Hongxing sighed and said with some self-reproach.

Originally, he didn't want to let Li Wuji interfere at first, thinking that he could solve it, but after a few days, there was no news from Du Yingwei's side, and no new source of goods could be found, so he had to ask Li Wuji for help.

In the final analysis, he is just a scholar, and he may be good at reciting poetry and writing poetry, and taking care of business is not his forte.

"Where did you lose it? How did you lose it? ”

Li Wuji frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"In the territory of Jinling City, it was robbed by mountain bandits, and people died..."

Xiao Hongxing swallowed his saliva and replied hesitantly.

"Jinling City?!"

Listening to Xiao Hongxing's answer, Li Wuji couldn't help frowning, remembering what happened two months ago...
