In the Governor's Palace, after waiting for a while, I saw Zhao Ling'er wearing an official uniform.

A robe with a disc collar and narrow sleeves, with a square "complement" on the chest and back, embroidered with cranes.

This is a style that only a master can have.

"Sir.... How did Mr. come to Nantong? ”

"Just go around along the way."

Someone brought tea, and Zhao Linger specially ordered a lot of snacks for the cats to eat.

"Thank you."

Mao'er had seen Zhao Ling'er in Jingfu before.

At this point, he arched his hand.

"I heard you're sick?"

"Little things, after going to Beijing to report on work, I felt a little strange in my body.

Probably because I encountered some problems in my practice, and I didn't get in the way. ”

With Zhao Ling'er's cultivation, she basically won't get sick.

Even if you are sick, I am afraid that it is a heart disease.

However, seeing that there was nothing abnormal in her complexion, Li Ping'an didn't ask more.

Looking at Li Ping'an's side, there is another child.

Zhao Ling'er couldn't help asking, "Sir, this kid is ........ again"

"That's what I'm here for today."

Li Ping'an explained the matter from beginning to end.

The new prefect died inexplicably, leaving only his only son.

Zhao Ling'er frowned, "I have been recuperating at home for the past two days, but I never thought that such a thing happened.

Rest assured, sir, I will find out about this matter. ”

"Then it's hard work."

"It's just a matter of duty."

And so it went well.

As for the follow-up, it will be a matter of officialdom.

is a prefect, not a random person on the street.

He was killed just a few days after taking office.

Even if the place is not thoroughly investigated, the capital will be questioned.

Li Ping'an rejected Zhao Ling'er's invitation to let him stay in the Governor's Palace.

After handing over Li Maocai's only son and this case to Zhao Ling'er.

After a few more conversations, I took my leave.

Zhao Ling'er knew her husband's temperament, so she didn't say anything.

Just wait for the result to come out, and I will definitely notify him as soon as possible.

Li Ping'an walked a few steps and suddenly turned around.

looked at Zhao Ling'er.

"Ling'er, what do you have to say to me?"

Zhao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and smiled, "Why does Mr. ask so?" ”

Li Ping'an looked at her with a pair of pale eyes.

After a while, he said.

“..... It's nothing. ”

A man, a cow and a cat left the Doge's Palace.

Li Ping'an looked back again.

"Moo~"

The old cow noticed that something was wrong with him and barked.

What's wrong?

Li Ping'an shook his head, "........ It's nothing. ”

...........

Time went back a day.

Li Ping'an, Lao Niu, and the cat got up early.

I was ready to go to see the sunrise on the top of Yunxia Mountain in Nantong.

"First-order, second-order, third-order ....."

The little girl counted the steps, jumping up and down one step at a time.

The braids behind her rose and fell with her movements.

The cat fairy seems to be playing a game with herself.

Jumping a step for the first time.

The second time it spanned two steps.

The third time it crossed the third order.

Such as superimposing.

9th ........

"Whew~"

The little girl took a deep breath.

The two small white hands swing back and forth, and the knees are bent.

"Puff" the ground, the ejection starts.

It was as if he was flying, and he really jumped nine steps.

This surprised several people who climbed the mountain together, and they all looked at the little girl in surprise.

Not to mention children, I'm afraid even adults can't do it.

The little girl crossed her waist and looked back and squinted.

A very complacent look.

Li Ping'an and Lao Niu watched while walking.

There was an old man driving an ox cart up the hill.

However, halfway through, the old cow of his own family was reluctant to go up.

I can't rush away.

"Let's go! Walk! ”

"Let's go!"

The old man whipped a few times, but the cow did not move.

looked at the cow behind Li Ping'an.

There is no need to lead or be driven with a whip from behind.

I honestly walked step by step.

I couldn't help but say: "Little brother, you are really good at training."

It's not like my cow, but his stubborn temper comes up again, and he can't pump it away. ”

Li Ping'an smiled faintly, "My cow is also stubborn, it's just time-sharing." ”

"Why don't you even take a whip?" The old man asked.

Li Ping'an said helplessly: "I can't smoke it, it's not bad if it doesn't smoke me?" ”

Old man:??

Continuing up, a Changbai waterfall flew in.

The sound of the waves is gusting, and the smoke and water are long.

The mountain road is winding.

Grass, wildflowers, trees on both sides.

High and low, staggered.

I was only halfway through, and suddenly I didn't let myself go any further.

And there are officers and soldiers occupying the road.

After inquiring, I found out that His Majesty the Emperor was going to tour the south.

The first place to go is Nantong.

It's being overhauled.

If it is not even, His Majesty the Emperor will climb Yunxia Mountain.

Although the area of the three provinces of Nantong is not particularly large, it is very important.

It is the money bag of the imperial court.

In the past few years, because of the perennial war.

As a result, the three provinces of Nantong became more and more dissatisfied, and there were several peasant uprisings.

The main purpose of the empress's southern tour is probably to envelop the gentry class in Nantong and appease the people.

Li Ping'an quickly figured out the reason.

It's just that when she was in the Governor's Mansion yesterday, why didn't Ling'er tell herself about it?

Maybe I forgot about it.

I didn't stay with her for long.

It's a pity that I didn't see the sunrise at the top of Yunxia Mountain this time.

So he went back the way he came,

returned to the inn where he was temporarily staying, but saw Zhao Ling'er sitting in the house wearing ordinary clothes.

"I came in without my husband's consent, and I hope that my husband will not blame me."

"All right, when did you come?"

"I came early, but I didn't find Mr., so I thought that Mr. should have gone for a walk.

So, while reading a book, I waited for Mr. ”

Zhao Ling'er was holding an ancient book that Li Ping'an often read

"I've been waiting for a long time, I'll make a pot of tea."

"Sir, don't be stingy, Ling'er has been waiting for a long time, and she must have a good cup of tea."

Li Ping'an smiled.

Zhao Ling'er suddenly noticed the cat wearing a blanket and looked at her with some wary eyes.

Well?

Zhao Ling'er also looked at her.

The cat turned around and burrowed into the bed.

He took out the money bag hidden under the head of the bed and counted it twice.

After making sure that there was no less, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Zhao Ling'er, her gaze softened a lot.

Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt funny, she was afraid that she would steal her money.

"I heard that the empress is going to tour south?" Li Ping'an said casually.

Zhao Ling'er's face was as usual: "Yes, I forgot to tell my husband before." ”

"When will it arrive?"

"It is estimated that it will be these days, to catch up with the stall festival.

It stands to reason that at the beginning of this month, the tenth day of the month is the beginning of the fourteenth jump, and the sixteenth is the time to be round.

In order to make Your Majesty, feel the stall.

This time, it will be extended to eighteen to be relieved.

Sir, how long are you going to stay? ”
