Yin Chuchu was lying on the table, originally bored. It's not that she doesn't care about the little junior sister's affairs, but when she thinks of the slightly complicated clues, she starts to have a headache. At this time, seeing Su Yi dangling in front of her eyes, she felt even more upset, so she slapped the table and said, "Don't walk around anymore, the floor is about to be trampled by you." ”

At this time, Su Yi had three paths in front of him, and all three of them could reach the end, and just when it was difficult to choose, Yin Chuchu's voice seemed to give him guidance. Since the roads are all the same, naturally whichever one is easy to take, take the other.

Su Yi sat down beside Yin Chuchu and asked, "Chu Chu, is there any anecdote about the Canghe Mansion prefect in your library?"

Yin Chuchu sat up slowly, put one hand on his cheek, and said, "Most of the things recorded in the book are Kyoto things. In places like Canghe Prefecture, which is so far away from Kyoto, there are very few records about it. But I do remember that there was a Beijing official from Canghe Mansion, whose name was... I don't remember. But what you are looking for is the adult who was the prefect of Canghe Prefecture at the time of the crime five years ago, and it may not be possible to match [Pippi xs.xyz]. ”

"Do you want to find out everyone involved in the case?" Song Qiuyun asked, "Won't there be too much movement if you do this?"

She thought that Su Yi was going to bring everyone involved in human trafficking to justice, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart, and even felt that this move was a bit self-conscious. It was as difficult as climbing to the sky just to cut down the towering tree of Wanzhou Merchants, and Su Yi seemed to want to dig out all its roots and find out all the people who had a share of the cool under this big tree.

Not only will this not be possible, but it may also cause public outrage.

Fortunately, Su Yi replied, "Of course not." I was just suddenly interested in that adult. ”

"It's too strange for the Hundred Horses to appear this time. He went on to analyze, "It stands to reason that you can wander around Cangzhou and act chivalrous for five years, except for the gang of traffickers who released water, you have not encountered any masters or any major incidents, so you should have some strength." ”

When he heard him talk about "chivalrous righteousness", Song Haoxiao felt that her cheeks were hot for some reason, as if she finally realized that she was not worthy of these four words.

"But if you fight with the Hundred Horse Gang, you will be defeated, your weak strength is only one reason, and it is also a fact that the Hundred Horse Gang is too strong. Why did the powerful Hundred Horse Gang suddenly appear at this time?"

was evaluated by Su Yi as "weak", Song Qixiao was not convinced, but just nodded to himself.

"Isn't it because of that wanted warrant?" asked Concubine Xi.

Su Yi shook his head and said: "Five hundred taels is indeed a lot for one person, but for the Hundred Horse Gang, which has to feed hundreds of people, even the feed money for those hundreds of horses is not enough." I'm more inclined to their appearance because of the news brought by Lin Huanzhi. ”

"Are you trying to say that the Hundred Horses Gang may have been hired by the prefect to kill the mouth?"

"Whether it's the prefect or the prefect who wants to take the throne, I don't know. ”

Song Qiuyun said: "It doesn't matter which adult it is. Now that people are fine, don't make any more extraneous branches. It's better for us to finish our work and leave Cangzhou as soon as possible. ”

"Know yourself and know your opponent... But you're right, we've achieved our goal, and there's no need to cause any more trouble. ”

Su Yi knew what she was worried about, and there was no reason for her to have to go against two court officials who had never met before, so she didn't insist anymore.

The two of them decided like this, but it caused Song Haoxiao's dissatisfaction, so she said urgently: "You don't plan to leave those fellow villagers in Jindong and go back like this, right?"

Song Qiuyun really planned to do so, not that she didn't want to save people, but she knew that Su Yi had a longer-term plan. If you act rashly, I am afraid that the overall situation will be messed up. What's more, on the way back, there is an enemy hidden in the shadows to deal with, and it is really unwise to provoke that adult.

She had no choice but to persuade: "Xiaoxiao, a Hundred Horse Gang can make you embarrassed, if we hadn't arrived in time, would you still be able to survive? Could it be that you really think you can fight those local snakes in Cangzhou?"

Seeing Song Haoxiao gritting her teeth and looking unwilling, Su Yi knew that if she wanted her to return to the Goddess Palace like this, she would definitely be unwilling, so she asked, "Have you investigated the whereabouts of those fellow villagers?"

Song Haoxiao was slightly stunned and said, "No." ”

"Even if you find out their whereabouts, do you have what it takes to rescue them?"

Song Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"Take a step back, even if we can help you save people, can you guarantee that they won't be like Song Haoyu and unwilling to leave?"

Song Xiaoxiao continued to shake her head and said dejectedly: "No." ”

Su Yi sighed: "I think even that Lin Huanzhi has a big problem. ”

This time, Song Haoxiao said very firmly: "No, I have investigated him a lot in the past five years, and he is indeed the son of the prefect of Guang'an Mansion." I inquired, Lord Lin does have a son named Lin Huanzhi, and I have also been to the prefect's mansion with him, so I can't be wrong. ”

"The son of the prefect of Guang'an Prefecture will be wanted and offered a reward?" Su Yi said in disbelief.

It's hard to believe.

The classification of the land of the Great Song Dynasty was that under the state was the state, under the state was the county, and under the county were the towns, townships and villages. The state capital is the head of a state and the place where it is governed, so usually the prefect of the state capital will also serve as the prefect.

Just like Hangzhou, there are Hangzhou City, Yiyuan and other places. The head of a state is called Hangzhou Mansion, located in the city of Hangzhou, and there are many towns under its jurisdiction.

There are also states with larger land that have the phenomenon of "one state and two governments", or even "one state with multiple governments". For example, Cangzhou is a state with two prefectures, the state capital is Canghe Mansion, where Canghedian is located, and the other is Guang'an Mansion.

Although the power of the prefect of Guang'an Prefecture is far less than that of the prefect of Canghe Prefecture, which is also the prefect of Canghe Prefecture, it also governs many counties and villages.

And now, even the son of Changle Zhixian can run rampant in Changle City, even if a prefect is unable to exonerate his son, he will not let things develop to such a big battle as a wanted reward.

"I want to see how this prefect's son will end up exonerating. Su Yi said with interest.

"Didn't Lin Huanzhi ask you to see you in the old place? In that case, you went to the appointment and asked him to take us to those fellow villagers of yours. After doing this, you have to honestly go back to the Goddess Palace with your aunt, how about it?"

Song Haoxiao was overjoyed and agreed.

As long as you find a balance in the process of compromise, you can forget the pain when you first made concessions.

It's not that Su Yi is coaxing Song Haoxiao, it's just a process of adaptation in his heart. And Song Haoxiao also understood that she couldn't ask for too much, and she had no regrets when she won this result.

finally talked about the matter clearly, and after sending everyone away, Song Qiuyun was the only one who left. The door slowly closed, isolating the strange and teasing eyes of the three of them, and Su Yi instantly began to feel uncomfortable.

"Sit down, what are you doing so far away? It's not the first time we've gotten along like this, why are you getting shy every time. Song Qiuyun said with a smile.

"What did Elder Song leave me to do?" Su Yi quickly got used to it, and sat down calmly and asked.

"Why are you messing around with Xiaoxiao?" Song Qiuyun quickly put away her smile and said seriously.

"If you don't mess around, how can your little niece go back with you obediently. I'm afraid you'll have a headache in the future, right?"

"It's certainly painful to be happy, but is it worth it to bury a long-term plan for the sake of momentary pleasure?"

Su Yi knew that what she was referring to was Song Haoxiao, and "planning" was something she had been thinking about. In order to help Song Qiuyun, he asked Su Yi to break his insistence. "Is it worth it" asked Su Yi, maybe Song Qiuyun was asking if she could afford it.

Su Yi thought for a long time before he spoke: "Wanzhou Business is like a towering mansion, if you go to peel off its wall skin from the outside, you can't hurt its muscles and bones. Only by digging its roots and digging its foundations can it be toppled. ”

"But it's a long process, so long that you don't see any hope until the moment it falls. The biggest difficulty is that I don't know when it will fall, and I may not be able to do it for the rest of my life. How many people can endure such loneliness, endure it all the time, and insist on doing something that may not be able to see the result?"

"Now I'm just a little bored. So I decided to tear down a few bricks and planks from time to time to have a good time. ”

Su Yi smiled self-deprecatingly, after all, he couldn't keep holding back and seeking a big outbreak.

"All in all, thank you. ”

"Why did Elder Song say thank you again? I'm not used to you doing this. ”

"Don't you deserve a thank you for everything you've done? Or do you think a thank you isn't enough?"

"Enough, enough..."Su Yi hurriedly said.

"You think it's enough, but I don't think it's enough, I still have to repay you like a way. Song Qiuyun said.

Su Yi was a little flustered, for fear that she would also say something "to make a promise".

Fortunately, Song Qiuyun did not do what he wanted, but took out a wooden token and handed it to him.

Su Yi took the token, only to see some words written on it, and when he looked closely, he found that it didn't look like a token, but it looked like a charm.

"What is this?"

"The Edict of the Mother of Heaven. Song Qiuyun replied, "Do you see the words on it? It is written as 'Xuantian Guangdu Great Compassion and Good Mother Edict'." It is said that the Mother of Heaven left three edicts before she ascended to become a god, and this is one of them. Legend has it that it has a powerful effect and is the treasure of the goddess's palace. Later, the palace lord used these three edicts as rewards to reward those who had made great contributions to the palace. Seeing it is like seeing the palace master. If you take her to the palace master and ask her to do something for you, she will not refuse. ”

"It's... Wouldn't it be too expensive?" Su Yi said.
