The wooden door was gently pushed open, Xiao Yue walked out of the room with a plate and a sad face, and the prince, Dugu Lin and others who were surrounding the house immediately surrounded him

"How is it, is Shao Yuan willing to eat?" Dugu Lin asked

Xiao Yue shook her head and said worriedly, "The official still hasn't eaten, this was sent over last night, and he didn't touch it at all, it's been a day, the official doesn't enter, what should I ......do!!"

The prince intervened and said, "This is not a way, although the senior brother is in good health, but it is not a way to go on like this, a day has passed, and it is still in this state."

At this time, Pan Jie walked over, his eyes were tired, and he was still holding a thick book-like thing in his hand, he first asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Lu still refuses to eat?"

Dugu Lin shook his head, "Mr. Pan, what is recorded in the county annals?"

Pan Jie said with a disgusted face, "This small county town is also broken enough, it happened that an old gentleman passed by, and it took a long time to find the county chronicle that he was responsible for recording before his death, and the county chronicle recorded that in January this year, the foreign Koubian, Tu a village robbed two villages, it was Hugh Tu three villages, of which Brother Lu's village is located in the northernmost place, the most seriously affected, it is said that the village is all in distress regardless of men, women and children, a few young and strong people are nowhere to be found, everything that can be taken away has been taken away, and all that cannot be taken away have been burned, so what we see is to burn it down. The survivors of the other two villages www.biquge.info lived in villages near the county seat, but only here, the old gentleman died, and the county records were finished. The new county chronicle is another book, that is, a running account, and the horse thieves have not been re-enfronted, and nothing major has happened."

The prince sighed, "This matter, let's wait and tell the senior brother, by the way, Dugu Hall Master, have you found anything in the ruins?"

Dugu Lin sighed, "Time has passed too long, as Pan Gongzi said, it was four or five months ago, and there are no clues anymore."

Pan Jie said, "Now Brother Lu refuses to eat, why don't you make some local side dishes to stimulate him, although it may make him feel hurtful, Shan Oh thinks he can still give it a try, what does Mrs. Sister-in-law think?"

Xiao Yuezhu was a little embarrassed, "This, the official has never said what hometown dishes he likes to eat, the only thing he has heard is roast mutton"

Pan Jie clapped his hands, "Okay, that's it, in fact, not only this, but you can also ask the local people, what are the local characteristics, maybe it is effective"

The prince felt that his words were reasonable, "Prince Pan is reasonable, and he ordered people to go down and prepare immediately"

The prince's command effect is extremely obvious, because what they have to serve is still a "Qin Cha", but as a small county town that is not rich in materials, there are actually twenty or thirty kinds of snacks listed, how can the ingredients be gathered at a time. So not only the people in the official mansion, but even the people in the Xuanwu Hall with six doors were assigned the task to go to Wuwei to purchase supplies, anyway, Long Xiangwei had already taken over the safety of the prince in the city, and they didn't have to continue to worry.

It is rare for the government to be so lively, and everyone is actually busy cooking, which is also rare in the world.

In fact, this incident also alarmed the Ma family and the Chengwang Mansion, because they never thought that the prince would appear in the small place of Xiutu so bizarrely, and I don't know how to spread the rumors, it became that the prince wanted to eat Liangzhou side dishes in Xiutu, and the king of the city asked the Ma family to bring the chef over.

The small county town started construction in a hurry, and as a result, it really became a prince, princess, Dugulin and others to eat local specialty food. But they are looking at Shaoyuan like this at the moment, where will they be in the mood to eat these unique Western Regions snacks?

The words are divided into two ends, no matter how hot the outside is done, in the inner hall, in an inconspicuous room, looking at the food in front of him, it only adds to the sadness, and makes him feel a kind of homeland. Looking around at the things in front of him, Shao Yuan's mood became extremely bad, so he picked up the gray frost blade in his hand and swept away the things in front of him.

After a burst of rage, Shao Yuan just stopped, but he saw that there was still a bowl of food that he didn't know what it was that had not been knocked down, and Shao Yuan was about to sweep down a bowl of things.

This bowl of lucky things wafted a familiar aroma to Shaoyuan, which was the haggis that the master loved to eat before his death. Plopped, Shao Yuan knelt in front of this bowl of haggis, "Master, master, what should I do, what can I do"

Shaoyuan was really hungry, so close to the haggis, he had an appetite, so Shaoyuan closed his eyes and "first respect the master", and then picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

didn't eat a few pieces, but the chopsticks picked up a pair of bamboo slips in the bowl, Shaoyuan immediately put down the haggis, looked at the contents of the book, and saw that the book slip said, "The matter in the village, a person from five miles west of the city came when he came"

Shao Yuan repeatedly confirmed the handwriting of the book, it was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who for a while, if it was a normal Shao Yuan, when he saw this letter, he would inevitably study it repeatedly before deciding whether to go to the appointment. But now this matter is Shaoyuan's sore spot, he can't wait to find any clues to break the murderer's body into thousands of pieces, and he doesn't have time to think about anything at the moment, he draws his knife, and walks out of the door, finds the back door of the inner hall, and then unconsciously escapes out of the yamen and goes to the west of the city.

Five miles west of the city, a person who looked like a royal family was anxiously looking in the direction of the city gate, this person was a friend from Shaoyuan's village who came out of Shaoyuan, one of those young people who ran away, Sun Nuo.

When Shaoyuan came to the west of the city, he was shocked that his old friend was still alive, "Arnold, is that you, are you not dead?" The joy in his heart was overflowing.

Sun Nuo hugged Shaoyuan, "Shaoyuan, I knew that you would come back, or come back with a Qin mission, you are strong in martial arts, and you have become a big official, you must avenge the people in the village!" In the end, the sadness in Sun Nuo's heart was also re-energized, no one knew that he had escaped for some reason, and he could only watch the fire in the village rise outside the village, and everything turned to ashes. He didn't dare to reveal his origins, hiding his identity and stealing his life, and by an occasional opportunity, he entered the Mafu kitchen as a handyman, because he was smart, and soon became a very promising guy in the kitchen. And because of a relationship, he had the opportunity to deliver meals to the heads of the family, and by chance, he came into contact with something he didn't expect.

Shaoyuan hugged Sun Nuo, "Arnold, you say you know who the murderer is, tell me what you know?"

Sun Nuo nodded, "In the past few months, I have been working in the Ma Mansion for a short time, and once when I was delivering food to the eldest young master of the Ma family, it happened that he accidentally knocked over a box at that time, and from the box! I saw the face towel of the horse thief who burned and killed the plundered horse thief in the village that day! The face towel headed by the head is the face towel of the young master Ma! I can't forget that face toil! It's that person! So the Ma family must have nothing to do with this matter."

Shao Yuan was shocked all of a sudden, "What? Isn't the village destroyed by foreigners or horse thieves?"

Sun Nuo shook his head, "Even if it is, it must be done by the people of the Ma family, there are at least seven or eight foreigners in the Ma family, mainly covering their faces and speaking foreign dialects, who knows if they are foreigners, as far as I know, many people in the Ma family can speak foreign languages!"

Shaoyuan gasped: "Okay, you Ma family! You actually did such a thing! Colluded with foreigners, burned, killed, and plundered! Heaven is intolerable! I, Lu Shaoyuan, will do the right thing for heaven! By the way, Arnold, do you know who else survived besides you?"

Sun Nuo sighed and shook his head, "I don't know, I can't bear the humiliation and steal my life, I don't dare to easily inquire about the news, let others know that I am an orphan, the Ma family acts so viciously, I am afraid that after I die, this truth will never be revealed!"

Shaoyuan patted Sun Nuo, "This matter, it won't be just settled, you continue to lurk in the Ma family, if it's not urgent, don't contact me like this, who else knows that you came out today?"

Sun Nuo patted Shaoyuan, "It's okay, I said that I know a girl who is in Xiutu, and they are happy to let me out, but I also have to go back as soon as possible, so as not to attract attention, Shaoyuan!

Shaoyuan patted Sun Nuo and asked him to go back first, leaving him alone in the west of the city, feeling the afterglow of the sunset.

The remnant sun was like blood, Shaoyuan raised the gray frost blade, "I swear by the gray frost blade, this revenge will be avenged!"

Perhaps it was because he knew a goal, and after not eating or drinking for a day, his spirit was tense for too long, and he was so sad and happy that he finally couldn't bear the fatigue, and after he finished his vow, he felt physically exhausted and fainted in the wilderness.

When Shao Yuan was still conscious at last, he saw a person come over and take the Gray Frost Blade ...... from his hand.
