After Xu Beiyou had a deep conversation with Zhang Xueyao, it was already evening when he came out of Liuli Pavilion, and he didn't stop at the East Lake Courtyard anymore, and went straight out to return to Jiangdu.

When he returned to Jiangdu, it was already dark at night, Gongsun Mansion had already turned on the lights, and Song Guanguan and Zhang An were waiting in front of the door.

Xu Beiyou got down from the carriage and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Zhang, official, you two have worked hard during this time. ”

Song Guanguan and Zhang An glanced at each other, and stopped talking.

Xu Beiyou waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, go to the house and say it slowly." ”

When he came to the study, Xu Beiyou motioned for the two to sit down, but he didn't sit down in a hurry, turned around and entered the inner room behind the screen, and said, "Say, what's the matter." ”

Song Guanguan glanced at Zhang An and said slowly: "Childe, we have found Zhang Daoshuo's traces. ”

Xu Beiyou in the inner room did not speak.

Song Guanguan, who is familiar with the temperament of his son-in-law, continued: "On June 23, it was found in a dry well in an unknown Buddhist temple in Jiangzhou, but he has been dead for a long time, and the specific time should be around June 15, but there is a strange thing, his body does not have half of the scars on the body, and the cause of death is very strange, and we can find that this person's history cannot withstand scrutiny, it seems that someone deliberately led our people to that Buddhist temple." ”

Xu Beiyou, who had already changed into a regular suit, turned out from behind the screen and asked, "What do I want?"

Song Guanguan was ashamed and said: "I haven't seen it." ”

Xu Beiyou seemed to have expected it, and then asked, "What about Wu Lezhi?"

Song Guanguan said softly: "I haven't seen it. ”

Xu Beiyou sat behind the bookcase, stretched out his hand to take a seal, and asked: "In your opinion, is it the infighting between the two, Wu Lezhi took away the Five Poison Sword after killing Zhang Daoshuo, or did someone else kill Zhang Daoshuo and then kidnap Wu Lezhi with the sword?"

Zhang An pondered for a while and said: "I can't think of why Wu Lezhi wants to kill people, although the Five Poison Sword is the treasure of our Sword Sect, but it is not much use for the two of them, at most it is just a divine weapon, and the two of them will not turn against each other for this, so I think someone else has made a move." ”

Xu Beiyou was noncommittal, and looked at Song Guanguan, "What do you mean, official?"

Officer Song said softly, "I agree with Senior Sister Zhang's opinion. ”

Xu Beiyou pressed the seal in his hand on the rice paper on the case, and said calmly: "You take my warrant to mobilize all the forces that can be called upon in the sect, and at the same time, you also ask the White Lotus Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, the Secret Guard Mansion, Jiangdu to be sentenced to the Yamen, Jiangzhou to be sentenced to the Yamen, and the Jiangnan garrison to assist, and make every effort to search for Wu Lezhi, whether he is dead or alive." ”

Zhang An and Song Guanguan got up and said, "Yes." ”

Xu Beiyou waved his hand and motioned for the two to retreat.

After the two left, Xu Beiyou walked out of the study alone, stood under the porch and reached out to catch a few raindrops.

I don't know when it started to rain.

The night was getting darker and the rain was getting heavier.

Thirty miles outside the city of Jiangdu, there is a post station, because there is a Changle Pavilion not far away, so it is called Changle Station.

At this time, the post station has been in charge of the lamp, and Li Gui is pouring himself a drink in the house, although there is no appetizer, but there is a curtain of autumn rain outside, but it is also delicious.

Li Gui is more than 60 years old this year, when he was a child, he experienced the chaos of the world, because his father was a soldier who died in battle, his son inherited his father's position, and also entered the army.

Changle Post Station is a big post station, the house, the food is the best, so the officials who come and go to Jiangdu will come here to settle down, Li Gui because of the post Cheng has been doing it for a long time, he has seen a lot of the world, the grade and net worth of the officials, most of them can see a ** not far from ten at a glance.

After drinking a pot of wine, Li Gui was slightly drunk, looked at the time, felt that no one should come, and was about to take off his clothes and go to bed, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, he suddenly felt a spirit, and couldn't help but want to scold his mother: "It's such a dark day, so heavy rain, why are there still people coming?"

However, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, so he hurriedly put on his shoes, picked up an umbrella and a lantern and went out to greet him.

The first to arrive was a few long entourage wearing hats, and after turning over and dismounting, the leader said to Li Gui, the post man who had just come out: "The master of my family is the new Jiang Ducheng announced the political envoy Sibu political envoy, and I will go to the post today, and I also ask Lord Yicheng to make arrangements!"

Hearing the words of Cheng Xuan Political Envoy, Li Gui's heart suddenly rose, and when he heard the three words of Political Envoy, Li Gui's heart trembled three times.

Today's Daqi court is not like the previous dynasty Dazheng, there has never been any governor, governor, nor governor, commander, commander-in-chief, the local has the final say is the three divisions of the yamen, Cheng announced that the political envoy department is in charge of a state's civil affairs, and the criminal department is in charge of a state's criminal name, and all command the embassy department to be in charge of a state's defense.

He is the head of the three divisions, and the other two envoys are only the third rank, and only the political envoy is the second rank, the real feudal official, and the parent of a state.

Moreover, this Changle Post Station is under the rule of Jiangdu, so in this way, the new political envoy of Jiangdu is even more different from other officials.

Li Gui hurriedly beckoned the post guards to prepare to clean up, and after a short time, he saw a team of men and horses braving the heavy rain to move towards this side.

He thought to himself that these eight achievements were due to the arrival of the political envoy, and he didn't care about holding an umbrella, so he took a poncho and rushed out in the heavy rain.

After all, after being a post minister for so many years, there is still this point of vision, and Li Gui can see at a glance that the person who is the first is the person with the most respected status, and he should be the political envoy.

I saw that the new political envoy looked like a typical northerner, looking about forty years old, and at this age he could be a dignified feudal official from the second grade, thinking that someone in the court must take care of him, and his future achievements are limitless.

Li Gui couldn't help but be a little more careful, and saluted respectfully: "Li Gui, the official Changle Post Station, paid a visit to the political envoy. ”

The new political envoy's surname is Zhang, his name is Jian, and his name is straight.

Zhang Jian doesn't like to ride in a sedan chair like Jiangnan Shizi, he prefers to ride a horse, and his riding skills are not bad, this time he braved the rain and ran dozens of miles is the result of his rise, otherwise they should have stopped and rested at the last post station, if it weren't for the fact that the horse really couldn't hold on, he even wanted to run all the way into the Jiangdu City.

Zhang Jian turned over and dismounted, threw the reins to Li Gui, and ordered: "Use the best forage." ”

Li Gui took the reins and hurried to be.

Zhang Jian was about to walk inside, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yicheng, have you heard of Xu Beiyou?"

"Xu Beiyou?" Li Gui was stunned for a moment, he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember who Xu Beiyou was.

Zhang Jian frowned slightly, "It's Gongzi Xu." ”

Li Gui suddenly realized: "My lord is talking about Xu Gongzi, in this Jiangdu territory, who has never heard of Xu Gongzi's name, the villain naturally knows, just this morning, Xu Gongzi also brought people to pass by us." ”

Zhang Jian's face froze, "Gongzi Xu is not in Jiangdu City?"

The most, new chapter on the cool craftsman"

Li Gui said: "I look at the direction of Xu Gongzi and his party, it should be back to Jiangdu, and you are the same as the front and rear feet." ”

Zhang Jian snorted in a deep voice and strode into the post station.
