Kangxi felt that what the two of them said was reasonable, but it was a bit hasty to let him be selected as the imperial guard just by virtue of this rescue, and his origin has yet to be ascertained.

After thinking about it, he said to the two: "This matter will be talked about until I return to Beijing, and I will go all the way back to Beijing, and I will carefully observe it when the time comes." ”

Kangxi took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Also, Guard Li ordered him to inquire more and see what happened to this Liu Gongzi in Beijing?

"Yes!" replied Nalan Rongruo.

Yu Niang walked on the most prosperous street in Yizhou City, there are many small vendors on both sides of the street, selling all kinds of items, some of their own vegetables to sell, some of which sell spices from south to north, and all kinds of dyed cloth.

Li Hengyao has been following Yu Niang, coming up to talk to her from time to time, and he has also found out some things about Yu Niang, knowing that she came to Beijing to look for people, and she has no intention of going back to her hometown.

I also knew that Yu Niang liked to eat, so I bought a lot of food, and asked her why she wore men's clothes?

This reminded Li Hengyao of what happened yesterday at the Fulai Inn, and thought like this: It is indeed more convenient to wear men's clothes.

So, when Yu Niang said that she wanted to buy ready-to-wear clothes, Li Hengyao took her to a shop specializing in silk, which mainly sells silk. But they also sell ready-to-wear garments, and the price of ready-to-wear garments is not low.

Yu Niang asked the guy to take a set of moon-white embroidered dark stripes for her to try, and found that it was good, the thickness was moderate, and it was comfortable to wear.

In addition to the single coat, the outer horse coat is also equipped with a cotton coat of the same color, which can be worn in cold weather.

Yu Niang chose this set, and asked the guy to take two sets of light blue styles with similar patterns, and also chose another set of red and black cotton clothes, which was to hear Li Hengyao say that the capital should be colder.

And it's about to enter winter, so prepare cotton clothes in advance, so as to save yourself from worrying about it when the time comes. In addition to these, Li Hengyao also suggested that she buy two thick cloaks, and Yu Niang also bought them.

Subsequently, Yu Niang accompanied Li Hengyao to buy what he wanted.

In fact, what Li Hengyao bought was all the things they wanted to use, the items used by Kangxi were all brought from the palace, and the food was also checked by Huang Yun, and he would not eat anything outside at all.

Li Hengyao accompanied Yu Niang out, just wanting to talk to her, and Kangxi also wanted to get to know Yu Niang. So he sent him out to find out the news.

When the two of them came back with a large bag, it was already time for lunch. Yu Niang went back to the room first with her things, and asked Xiao Er to send lunch to the room together.

Li Hengyao had to put the things they bought back in the room where they lived, and they could only go to eat after they were separated. As soon as he finished eating, Tu Lishen came to find him and said that the emperor had summoned him.

Li Hengyao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly packed up his appearance and went to see Kangxi.

Kangxi wanted to get the news of Yu Niang as soon as possible, so he couldn't even wait for the lunch break, so he called Li Hengyao early.

Li Hengyao told Kangxi all the news he had discovered, and knew the intention and origin of Yu Niang's coming to Beijing, and he felt a lot more relieved.

But as the emperor, he still needs to investigate himself before he can rest assured that people will stay with him.

waved his hand to let Li Hengyao go out, and told him before leaving: "If Liu Gongzi encounters any difficulties, find a way to help him." ”

"Yes!" the minion retired. ”

The next day, Kangxi and his party were packing up their things and preparing to go on the road, but before they went downstairs, they saw a row of soldiers occupying the entire corridor.

Let everyone stand in the lobby with all their baggage, and not long after a soft sedan chair stopped outside the door, and an official in a navy blue official robe walked out of it.

This person is the county magistrate of Yizhou, and yesterday he received a letter from the people of Futai, which said: Let him find the young Xiucai surnamed Ma who took the exam from Suzhou to Beijing this year.

This Ma Xiucai disappeared after entering Beijing to take the exam this year, neither in the capital nor returned to his hometown, and the master who taught him saw that he had not returned for a long time, so he wrote a letter to ask a fellow villager in the capital.

A few days later, a fellow villager wrote back and said: Ma Xiucai returned to his hometown after passing the exam that day, and his classmates saw him off at that time.

The master values Ma Xiucai very much and thinks that he has the best talent. Naturally, we can't let him disappear without explanation, and we must find him. Life is to see people, and death is to see corpses.

So, the master personally came to Beijing to investigate, searched all the way, and asked the students who went with him when and where they had seen him. Finally, I asked that something went wrong in Yizhou.

The Master came to the door and asked the then Governor, Lord Li, who was another of the Master's classmates.

When the governor Li was studying, he had the help of his master, and when he heard that Ma Xiu was the best talent, he had the idea of winning over, so he returned the favor to his master and son along the way.

The master took the governor's handwritten letter, and accompanied by Lord Li's cronies, he found the Yizhou county commander and asked him to send troops to search for it throughout the city.

The county magistrate did not dare to slack off, and searched the whole city one by one with the portrait of Ma Xiucai.

After being reminded by the master, I felt that the people in the inn were the most suspicious, because there were many people in it, and it was easier to start.

And Ma Xiucai disappeared in this inn at that time, so it is reasonable that the inn has a responsibility that cannot be shirked.

So, as soon as the Yizhou county magistrate got the portrait, he sent troops to surround the inn and check it.

I mainly want to ask the people in the inn, does anyone know Ma Xiucai, what was Ma Xiucai doing before he disappeared, and who was he with?

Jade Niang, they just caught up.

At this time, everyone in the inn was standing in the lobby, and Kangxi and his party were among them.

The officers and soldiers took the portrait and compared it to the left and right, and asked the people in the hall if anyone in the hall knew the person in the portrait or where they had seen him.

The hall was full of merchants and passers-by, all of whom had only recently moved into the inn, and it was normal that they didn't know each other, and the officers and soldiers who searched did not embarrass them.

Just tell them: if they know or have seen it, they must say it in time.

Some of the people who are being interrogated really don't know, and some may know, but are afraid of getting into trouble. In short, no one said that they knew or had seen Ma Xiucai.

Kangxi and his party were the same, Suo Etu took the lead in answering, and the others all shook their heads. Because Kangxi and his party were obviously better dressed than others, and they were all magnificent, they looked like children of the family.

The soldier who was searching didn't want to get into trouble, so he asked and walked to the next one.

Yu Niang stood behind and didn't speak, she was counted among Kangxi and his party, and she only entered the city yesterday, so the officers and soldiers would not be embarrassed.

Just when Yu Niang thought it was okay and could leave.

The county order ordered all personnel not to leave Yizhou for the time being, and they could not leave until Ma Xiucai's whereabouts were found out, or they could not leave until they got information about Ma Xiucai. lest Ma Xiucai be transferred or killed.

The government will also actively find Ma Xiucai's whereabouts, and everyone is asked to cooperate.

As soon as the words of the county order came out, it immediately caused a lot of commotion, and some acquaintances began to talk in whispers, and even some merchants opposed it loudly.

However, the county order insisted on going its own way, and ordered some officers and soldiers to go to the city gate for martial law. The other part continues to search.

When Kangxi and the others heard the words of the county order, they asked Suo Etu to come forward to discuss with the county order to let them out of the city.

The prefectural magistrate didn't buy it, and now he just wanted to complete the task assigned by the governor so that he could show his face in front of the governor.

As soon as the Governor is happy, with a slight promotion, he will be able to rise to the top.
