Qian Ning's eyes flashed slightly and said: "The villain has closely monitored Liu Jian's family in Luoyang, and has not found any clues......

A hint of impatience appeared on Liu Jin's face.

Qian Ning hurriedly cut to the point: "However, Yang Shen's son was a close friend of Miss Liu Xuejiang when she was a child, and Yang Shen's whereabouts have been carefully investigated in the past few years. It is strange that he once lived in a small town in Huailai on the outskirts of Beijing and served as a teacher there. After the Spring Festival this year, he went to Anhua, Ningxia, and then went to Luling, Jiangxi. According to the spies, there was a young woman who was traveling with Yang Shen and had also bought a field and a house in Luling. ”

Liu Jin's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a portrait of that woman?" ”

"Yes. Father, please see. Qian Ning hurriedly took out a scroll from his sleeve, spread it out and handed it to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin looked at the woman in the painting and laughed.

"Wonderful, wonderful! You should quickly send someone to escort this woman to the capital safely! Don't go out on any trips! ”

Qian Ning hurriedly said yes.

Liu Jin rolled his eyes and asked again, "Can this woman carry a child with her?" What does it look like to be less than three years old? ”

"I have not seen a woman with a child."

"Have you inquired about this woman's whereabouts and whereabouts over the years?"

Qian Ning did his homework very well: "Return to my father-in-law." The woman was a young widow from Li Jun's family in the town of Weishabao in Huailai, surnamed Liu Liu'er, and had two sons, one seven years old and the other less than three years old. There is also a father-in-law with crippled legs at home. ”

"That Widow Liu opened an inn in Sand Castle Town, called Jiangxue Zhai, and the emperor and your father-in-law passed by there last year."

Liu Jin recalled for a while and suddenly realized.

He smiled dumbly: "No wonder the emperor was obsessed with the village girl in the inn back then, and he almost brought it back to Beijing...... A peck and a drink, all have a fixed number. ”

Qian Ning continued: "Last year, the deal of 10,000 horses in Xuanfu was negotiated in the name of this widow Liu. ”

Liu Jin was taken aback, he stood up suddenly: "How is it possible?!" ”

Immediately, his eyes glared angrily, and he slapped the table violently: "Bold! I said, how can Zhu Yue push back and not let the hero who made the horse trade face the saint! ”

"This Zhu Yue! He's so bold! ”

"Come on, go and find Zhu Yue for our family!"

Qian Ning saw that Liu Jin was in a rage, and hurriedly reported: "Father-in-law, that Zhu Yue has been recuperating at home this year, and it is said that he is bedridden and will die soon. In order to continue the incense, Zhu Qi, the prince of Baoguo, took an outer room home, to continue the incense, the prince and his wife cried at home to hang herself, and the complaint was reported to the queen mother. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jin slowly calmed down, sat back in his seat, and said after a while: "Since this is the case, then forget it." ”

Immediately, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Qian Ning: "You must send that Widow Liu to the capital quickly and safely." Also, the two children she was pregnant with were also brought along! If this matter is completed, I will recommend you to the emperor personally. ”

Qian Ning was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "My son obeys!" The son will live up to the grace of his father-in-law! ”

After Qian Ning retreated, Liu Jin sat quietly and pondered with a gloomy face for a long time before adjusting his expression and going out to the leopard room in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City.

After going through layers of guards, Liu Jin came to the outside of an inconspicuous-looking room.

Ma Yongcheng, the eunuch of the division, was waiting at the door, and when he saw Liu Jin coming, he immediately came over with a smile and saluted.

"Grandpa Liu, why are you here?"

Liu Jinpi glanced at Ma Yongcheng with a smile, and Ma Yongcheng's half-bent waist was lower.

"Why, our family has come to report important military information to the emperor, but we can't come?"

Ma Yongcheng realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately raised his slap to slap himself, and patted his ass flatteringly.

"The slave maid is thinking that Gonggong Liu, you have a lot of opportunities every day, and you can't be idle at this time on weekdays......"

"No nonsense, can the emperor be inside?"

Ma Yongcheng changed to a sad face.

"Yes, it's just that the emperor is in a bad mood today, and the slaves and maids don't dare to go in to serve."

Seeing this, Liu Jin cleared his throat, arranged his sleeves, knocked lightly near the door, and then said in a soft voice: "Slave Liu Jin, come to the emperor to say goodbye." ”

"Come in." A clear young man's voice came from the room.

The door slowly opened, and in the middle of the room was a bookcase, at the back of the bookcase sat an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, tall and long-legged, with a jade face, a red ochre dragon robe, slender eyes, and the corners of the eyes were raised, which was the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, known as Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde slowly rolled up the scroll in his hand, tied it with a bright yellow gilt string, and pinched his brows with his fingers before slowly looking at Liu Jin who was saluting.

"Lao Liu, is there a new military newspaper over there in Anhua?" Zhengde stood up, stretched a big lazy waist, walked to the bookcase again, raised his hand and twisted his waist left and right, it should be because he had been lying on the desk for too long, and the cervical spine and lumbar muscles were too strained.

"Back to the emperor, before Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong arrived in Anhua, Qiu Yue, a guerrilla general stationed in Ningxia, had already pacified Anhua City and captured the king of Anhua alive, and it only took eighteen days before and after."

Liu Jin is very willing to push out the little-known Qiu Yue, so that Zhang Yong, who has always been at odds with him, is busy working in vain, and there is no credit to receive.

Emperor Zhengde was slightly surprised and sneered.

"My Ming Dynasty's border army is really capable."

"Spread the order to Zhang Yong, wait for the rebellion in Anhua to be completely quelled, and all the remaining parties will be captured, and then return to Beijing to report it."

"Yes."

Liu Jin looked at Emperor Zhengde's slightly gloomy face, and followed the temptation.

"Your Majesty, your long-term sitting at the desk to review the recital is detrimental to the dragon's body. It is still necessary to combine work and rest, often ride horses and hunt, and fight and practice martial arts activities to move the muscles and bones, which is more beneficial to the body. ”

"yes. I haven't moved my muscles and bones for some days. By the way, Zhu Yue of the Baoguo Mansion, is he feeling better? If it's better, let him go into the palace and accompany me to take a few moves. ”

Liu Jin's heart tightened, but his face was careful.

"Back to the emperor, General Zhu Yue has been lingering on the sickbed since he returned to Beijing from Xuanfu at the beginning of the year. It is said that the prince of Baoguo was worried that there would be no successor, so he took an outer room back to the house, and the mansion of the prince of Baoguo is now in a mess, and the wife of the prince cries all day long. General Zhu Yue's illness became even worse. Now I heard that there is something going on. ”

Emperor Zhengde sighed slightly.

"The last time I went to see him, the warrior who was handsome and could fight tigers with bare hands is now in a bone-like shape, skinny like firewood, and I really can't bear to look at it. You also ordered someone to send some precious medicinal herbs, so that he can raise them with peace of mind. ”

Liu Jin lowered his head and said yes, hesitated for a while, but swallowed the news about Liu Xuejiang back into his stomach.

"Miss Xuejiang, there's still no news?"

Emperor Zhengde took the initiative to ask.
