Although the matter was over, He Sima and Li Duwei were depressed and couldn't sleep.

"My lord, did our money just give to Chongjun for nothing?"

He Sima said angrily: "Didn't you see the situation just now, who was present didn't know that the thing was stolen from my room, how dare I take it back in front of everyone." ”

Li Duwei obviously didn't think so, "The adults are too worried, I don't think they mean to expose the adults." ”

"What do you think? Do you think these two sects will cover this up in order to slap me? Even the Governor did not necessarily get their knots. I'm a little Sima, tonight's matter is to send the handle to the other party's hands, people are just afraid of trouble to turn a blind eye, if I don't know how to lift, forcefully detain the property, we all came up with the door of Chongjun. What's more, Lord Assassin Shi has been staring at us all the time, do you want to block the Governor's face? ”

"The lower officials naturally don't dare, but let's just leave like this, and if we don't give an explanation, I'm afraid the governor will not be able to say anything."

Thinking of this, He Sima was angry, "Hmph! It's not that the three stupid pigs he sent were not rigorous, and they actually leaked the plan of action, attracting two masters to ambush. If it weren't for the fact that the monks of the two factions got some discrepancies, and let me use myself as bait to drag all the troublemakers who came over, I am afraid that the three stupid pigs would not even be able to enter the gate of the county guard's mansion. Even so, it still messes things up, and we are tired of suffering. ”

"My lord, although the three of them are stupid, I'm afraid this flame was not set by them, obviously too much, maybe it was put by the mysterious person?"

"Mystery man? Xu is the news from him? Isn't it the handiwork of Lord Shi? Not good! If that's the case, we've been targeted, this isn't a place to stay for long, so send someone back to the Governor, hoping that the three stupid pigs don't reveal more information. ”

"Is it in the form of letters or oral messages?"

He Sima was stunned, thinking that if it was really arranged by Lord Shi, once the letter was intercepted, I am afraid it would be used as evidence, "In case the letter is intercepted, I am afraid that it will trouble Li Duwei to go in person." When I get to the state capital, I will inform the governor of the situation in detail, and as for the funds, I will make up for them in the remaining cities. That Zijun county guard doesn't want to keep his official position, so let's use him to cut and bleed. ”

Tuk tuk

Outside the door, the sound of the door was suddenly remembered, and the two people in the house immediately stopped talking and looked at each other, but they didn't know who came to visit in the middle of the night.

Lieutenant Li took a step forward and looked down the crack in the door, but it was Chongjun Shouchang who should have been drunk and unconscious.

But he didn't know what this person's purpose was, and Li Duwei slowly opened the door.

Nachang County Shou first looked into the house, and saw that He Sima himself was here, so he arched his hand and said: "The lower officials have something to discuss, I don't know if the adults are free." ”

"What's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, my lord still has important things to deal with." Li Duwei had no intention of letting go of his body at all.

Chang Junshou is not in a hurry, Sima's position is to place the official position of the derogatory person, although the official position is high but has no real power, no matter whether this person has been in the official position of Tianfu, or for which big man came to Longzhou, he will not look down on him as a small county guard, otherwise he does not need to pretend to be drunk in the banquet, he really can't stand He Sima's lofty attitude.

But this is a different time.

Changjun was confident and said, "The lower official learned that the lord seems to have lost a batch of property. ”

He Sima's face was cold, sure enough, there were still more serious people looking for trouble, if he couldn't hold on to this matter, his career in this life would stop here, don't think about returning to Tianfu again.

Li Duwei had no choice but to give way to the entrance, and he was not as tough as Fang Cai.

Changjun Shou didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the two people in front of him, and when he entered the house, he gushed endlessly, "Lord He doesn't know, Xia Guan just learned that a big case had occurred after he woke up from drinking. After being reminded by the Chengdu Lieutenant, I was shocked into a cold sweat, but I didn't want the vicious incident of assassinating Sima in my jurisdiction, so I came to make amends to Lord Sima.

In addition, I would like to ask you how to deal with the seized property properly, and you must have a way to teach me. ”

He Sima was not sure what this Chang Shouyi was going to do for a while, so he had to follow the words and said, "You don't need to ask me about this, just act according to the law." ”

But the county guard of Nachang bowed his head and said, "My lord, I don't hide it, the subordinate officials neglected their duties, and even lost half of their property. ”

"What! Whoever took it, I will arrest it. Lieutenant Li was overjoyed, and he went to recover the property, but then he only said that he had not found the thief, and that if he swallowed this money, he could be regarded as preserving the property of the governor.

Changjun Shou shook his body, ignored Li Duwei, and waited for He Sima's response.

He Sima pondered: "The county guard mansion is heavily guarded, how did it be stolen by someone?" ”

"I don't know this, Chengdu Wei only said that the thieves put their belongings in the carriage and fled here, and the direction should be to the official road to the north."

He Sima immediately comprehended, but he didn't chase after the thing but just watched, it was obviously operated by Changjun Shou. I couldn't help but secretly scold Li Duwei for being stupid, if he did it, Changjun Shoushao would have to bear the charge of dereliction of duty.

He Sima suddenly became enthusiastic and said, "Brother Chang, don't worry, I will set off tomorrow to help you recover your belongings." It's just that my brother can't guarantee that he can recover all of them, so the reported property can be reduced as appropriate, after all, no one knows. ”

Changjun Shouda was overjoyed, leaned over and said, "Thank you for teaching me, I will only write half of the reported documents." ”

"Can this work, don't delay Brother Chang."

"What is this, and no one has seen how much it is, but there is only one layer of gold and silver jewelry, and there are stones underneath."

He Sima smiled on his face and said, "What Brother Chang said is reasonable, if you have Brother Wei to help you, you will write this document like this, and there will be no trouble." ”

"Yes, then the lower official will go back and write a draft for the adults to see. Don't bother the adults, and the next official will retire. ”

After Chang Shouyi left, Li Duwei was still a little puzzled and asked, "My lord, the sooner you can chase the thief, the better, otherwise there will be no trace tomorrow, and we will not be able to find it." ”

"No need, this county guard has already arranged for us, and we will leave tomorrow, and Chengdu Wei and that half should be waiting halfway."

"What do you mean by that they directed and acted half of it, and they want to return it to us? So why not pay more. ”

"Half of it is already a lot, and you have to leave some for others to pay for the above. Tomorrow's plan remains the same, you still go back to report to the governor, and the matter of Changjun Shou should also be mentioned, and if they help us, they will naturally repay the favor. Just send your belongings back with you, so that you don't have too many dreams at night. ”

……

You Ziji returned to the inn, and with his skills, he was not worried that someone would follow him. As for the inn, no one paid attention to him, a man who lived in the stables, and he laid out the haystack and went to rest.

Early the next morning, You Ziji fetched some well water to wash and clean, and then left the inn. I used the remaining copper money to buy a few steamed buns and carry them with me, and prepared to leave Chongjun and continue to move forward.

He deliberately passed by the county guard's mansion, and happened to see several carriages leaving with great fanfare under the banner of He Sima.

You Ziji didn't know what happened last night, but seeing that He Sima was in such a hurry, it shouldn't have been smooth. However, there were no accompanying civil officials in He Sima's team, and Zhou Junshou's official position should be stable.

He paid no attention to the matter and turned south.

Longzhou is mountainous, out of the city, you Ziji plunged into the mountains and mountains again, he didn't know how long he walked, seeing that the sky was getting dark, and there was no sign of activity nearby, so he had to camp in the wild.

He was experienced in this and traveled down the valley in the hope of finding a source of water.

However, today's luck seems to be bad, until it is dark, and there is no good landing, and a heavy fog rises in the forest, obscuring the view.

In this way, You Ziji did not dare to continue to explore, the mountains were steep, if he fell off the cliff, it was You Ziji's current strength, and he might not be able to survive.

Fortunately, the trees were lush nearby, and there were many towering ancient trees reaching into the sky, which was higher than the fog, enough to avoid the beasts that foraged at night.

You Ziji jumped up and used his limbs together, the strange body method he had studied himself seemed to be more suitable for this situation, and his speed was a few points faster than usual.

After a while, You Ziji was already standing on the canopy of the tree, and sure enough, the scope of the dense fog was highlighted, and the surrounding scenery was unobstructed, as if he was on a sea of clouds.

The stars and moon above him shone in the sky, so that the night did not look very dark.

Seeing that there was a thick fog at night, you thought it was going to rain, but now it seems that there will be absolutely no rain, so you can only wait for tomorrow morning to collect some dew on the leaves of plants to quench your thirst.

As for tonight, I can't even eat dry food without water, so I can only endure it and rest hungry.

You Ziji leaned on the treetops, his eyes slightly closed, feeling the different atmosphere of the night, and suddenly he frowned, opened his eyes and looked into the distance.

The agitation seemed to be a little louder, and the wanderer could not resist his curiosity, and slid down the trunk of the tree, only to see many animals appear in the forest, rock sheep and bison fleeing in herds into the distance, mixed with jackals, and even iron-eating beasts.

With so many kinds of animals mixed together, could it be that there are some powerful monsters behind them chasing them?

After a while, when the animals had left, the forest finally returned to calm, but it was more dead than before.

The fog became thicker and thicker, and You Ziji felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly climbed up to the treetops again, this time, he found something strange, and there were lights flickering in the distance, as if there were people living there.

Suddenly, there was a commotion under the tree again, and the wanderer hurriedly gathered his breath and looked down, only to see that the thick mist automatically receded, revealing the creatures inside.

It was not a terrible monster, but a pack of snow-white wolves, striding around the surroundings, looking noble and holy. But appearing in this thick fog is very strange no matter how you look at it.

They seemed to be looking for something, and they sniffed the air, but they found nothing and left the place. You Ziji was afraid of the wolves returning, so he didn't dare to stay here, but it was difficult to find his way under the fog at night, so he returned to the treetops and counted the distance and steps to the lights in front of him, and calibrated the direction to find it.
