Pei Qingyan smiled sarcastically.

"So, you're doubting my ability to handle cases?"

Jiang Rongsheng's face was terrified.

"Xiaguan didn't! There is absolutely no Xiaguan. ”

God knows, he was afraid that the embroidery division would be too late, so how could he doubt their ability to handle the case.

Pei Qingyan said: "So this iron leads ......"

Jiang Rongsheng was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.

"But the lower official really doesn't know, don't say that this iron guide should not be in charge of the lower official, even if it is, the lower official doesn't have the courage to smuggle the iron lead, although the lower official is not talented, but he has also been an official for many years, knowing that smuggling salt and iron is a serious crime, how can he covet that little profit, and ruin his future?"

Pei Qingyan's pupils narrowed slightly.

As if he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Jiang Rongsheng said again: "If the adults don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, the daily words and deeds of the lower officials are under the ears and eyes of the local embroidery department, as long as the adults go to check, if you don't believe it, you can't find it, the lower officials are really wronged." ”

The main purpose of the establishment of the Embroidery Department in the Dayuan Dynasty was to serve as the eyes and ears of the emperor and supervise hundreds of officials.

Therefore, even if it is a magistrate, every word and deed is under the control of the local embroidery department, which is indeed true.

However, although the Embroidery Division was responsible for supervising the hundred officials, it did not supervise the family members of the hundred officials.

Thinking of this, Pei Qingyan's eyes deepened.

"You may not have it, but what about your people?"

Jiang Rongsheng was stunned.

His people......

He shook his head.

"They don't dare even more, and although our family is not as noble as your adult, we have also been officials for generations, and we still know that we can't smuggle iron leads, and no one will break the law with their bodies."

Pei Qingyan was silent.

In fact, the people he sent out did not find out that Jiang Rongsheng had a direct relationship with those iron leads.

It's just a very general search for a Jiang family.

The Jiang family is a local family in Jizhou, with a large population and deep roots, how can they find out one by one?

Pei Qingyan pondered for a while.

During the time he was thinking, Jiang Rongsheng's face turned pale, and he only felt that a sharp blade was hanging above his head, which could be cut down at any time and shatter his body into thousands of pieces.

Fortunately, at this time-

Someone called him outside.

"My lord, there is news in Beijing."

Pei Qingyan came back to his senses, nodded, glanced at Jiang Rongsheng again, didn't say anything more, and turned to go out.

Jiang Rongsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

His body slid to the ground as if he had collapsed.

Outside.

A subordinate handed over the flying pigeon handbook, Pei Qingyan took out the note from the letterbox, and after reading it, his face was slightly gloomy.

Jiang Hua is really Lin Bi's son.

Lin Bi, the current Marquis of Anyuan, is the grandson of Emperor Taizu's fourth son, and in real terms, he is the cousin of the current emperor.

Lin Bi's romantic name when he was young, Pei Qingyan had heard of it, but he never took it to heart.

Now, it's a surprise for him.

Pei Qingyan sneered, put the note on the candle flame and burned it, and then said indifferently: "Continue to lock him up, and wait for someone to redeem him in two days." ”

"Yes."

Late at night.

Pei Qingyan quietly jumped into the Jiang family's mansion and walked to the lower room.

Unexpectedly, halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by a figure.

Rao is that he has been on the battlefield for a long time and is used to seeing all kinds of dangers and life and death, but he is still startled by this cold jump.

"Winter, Holly girl? Why are you here? ”

Holly snorted coldly and looked at him.

"Our young lady found out that you weren't there, so she specially asked me to come here to squat on you, and sure enough, I squatted and said, you sneaked out of the house in the middle of the night, did you do something bad?"

Pei Qingyan was a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect Song Anning to pay attention to his whereabouts.

"I didn't do anything, I just went out for a walk."

"Going out for a walk on the big night? Do you think my young lady will believe it? At this time, there is a curfew in the city, don't say that you are a fugitive yourself, even ordinary people should not go out to hang out at this time, say it! Where the hell have you been? ”

As he spoke, he took out a dagger and put it across his neck.

Pei Qingyan's body stiffened slightly.

How many years.

How many years have I not been held to the neck with a knife like this.

At this moment, a touch of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes, but in the next second, he changed to a smile again.

"What are you doing, I'm really just going around at will, and I haven't done anything illegal and undisciplined, besides, you're a girl, it's not good to use knives and guns, so let's put it down."

As she spoke, she quietly stepped back, away from her blade.

Holly thought about it, and also felt that now that he was a fugitive, he should not have the courage to do bad things so as not to expose his identity, so he said coldly: "Our young lady asked me to bring you a message, there are only fourteen days left before the deadline, let you have points in your heart, leave as soon as possible." ”

Pei Qingyan nodded.

"I understand, I'm bothered by Miss Song."

Holly snorted coldly again, and turned away arrogantly.

Pei Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

After Holly left, he looked at the huge Jiang Mansion in front of him.

Jiang Rongsheng didn't smuggle the iron lead, so who would flow out of this iron lead.

Thinking of something, his eyes narrowed, and he looked in the direction of the backyard.

Could it be......

This night, Song Anning slept a little unsteadily.

The images of my past life came to mind again.

When she woke up the next day, she found that she was sweating profusely, and when she touched her forehead again, she felt hot, and then she knew that she had a fever.

"Holly."

"Miss, you're awake."

Holly heard the voice and hurried over.

Pulling up the bed curtain for her, and was about to talk to her with a smile, when he suddenly saw that her face was not quite right, and he was shocked, and raised his hand to reach her forehead, and it was really hot.

"Miss, you have a fever."

Song Anning nodded, signaled that she didn't have to be loud, and said in a low voice: "Go and ask the house doctor to prescribe two pairs of medicines, just boil and drink them, maybe the weather is getting colder and colder." ”

Holly nodded hurriedly, "I'll go now." ”

As he spoke, he walked outside again, and happened to bump into Poria who had just come in with hot water.

Hurriedly said: "Miss has a fever, you take care of it here first, and I'll ask the house doctor to come over." ”

"Okay."

As soon as Poria heard that Song Anning was sick, she was also panicked and hurriedly ran in.

Song Anning let her help herself up, and Poria blamed herself: "How can a good person have a fever? Xu was sultry last night and lifted the quilt, the first half of the night was hot yesterday, and the heavy rain fell at the back of the night to turn cold, this time is the most prone to cold, and blame the slaves and maids for not serving well, I should have known that I should take care of it in front of me, and I should not be lazy to sleep outside. ”

Song Anning smiled and said, "You said that it's easy to catch a cold in this weather, and it's hard and cold on this couch, even if you spread the quilt, it's very cold, how can you let you sleep?" Besides, I told you to go outside to rest, and you didn't have to go, so how can I blame you? ”

As he spoke, he dressed himself under the service of Poria Cocos.

It didn't take long for Holly to come in with the house doctor.

"Doctor, please show my young lady."

The doctor nodded, stepped forward, and checked Song Anning's pulse.

It's just that this diagnosis can't help but be a little stunned, and he glanced at Song Anning with a strange expression.
