Half a day later, Xia Qingcang and Princess Lingyue arrived in Yinzhou, the last big city on this side of Xinjiang, with the villagers of Qingcao Village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When they came to the outside of the city, the two saw a long queue at the gate of the city, and a group of fleeing refugees crowded at the gate and seemed to have a conflict with the soldiers guarding the gate.

"Why don't you let us go into the city? Although we live in various villages, we are all under the jurisdiction of Yinzhou, and we all belong to the people of Yinzhou, why don't you let us in?" shouted the villagers with raised fists.

"Everyone, please calm down, in recent days, the people from the north have been pouring into Yinzhou City, which has exceeded the tolerance of Yinzhou City, and I hope that everyone can continue to go south and find a place to live elsewhere. One of the generals at the head comforted everyone.

"There is only one big city in Yinzhou within a radius of 100 miles, where else can you tell us to go? Hurry up, open the door quickly!" As he spoke, the people were excited and began to rush forward and squeeze, and the blockade circle formed by several soldiers was somewhat loosened.

Seeing that the turmoil was about to happen, Xia Qingcang jumped forward, jumped into the crowd, and shouted loudly with all his internal strength: "Everyone calm down first!"

The voice faintly revealed a shocking force, suppressing everyone's anger.

Xia Qingcang turned to the city gate general and asked, "May I ask who gave the order not to let the refugees into the city?"

The general recognized Xia Qingcang and replied in a low voice and respectfully: "Qi Xia Shen Capture, it is an order personally given by Lord Taishouma, and we dare not disobey it." ”

After listening, Xia Qingcang said to everyone: "Everyone wait patiently for a while, Xia will definitely give everyone an explanation when he goes to see Lord Taishouma." ”

The people saw that the gatekeeper was respectful to Xia Qingcang, and presumably this person had a great background, so they calmed down to see what answer he could have.

Under the guidance of the gatekeeper general, Xia Qingcang and Princess Lingyue rushed to the Taishou Mansion in the city.

When he came to the Taishou Mansion, Taishou Ma Kangan was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and when he saw the other party's leisurely appearance, Xia Qingcang frowned, and his anger gradually rose in his heart.

"Yo, Xia Shenzhuo, are you back? Before Xu Zhutou told me that you came to our Yinzhou, I also complained about why he didn't leave you to stay for a few more days. Now, you have come back yourself, and you can let me do my best as a landlord. Come on, catch a pot for the summer god and make a big red robe. When Ma Kangan saw Xia Qingcang, he hurriedly got up, with a smile on his face, and ordered his subordinates to make tea.

"No need, I came here today to ask why refugees from outside the city are not allowed to enter the city?" Xia Qingcang asked coldly.

"Hey, I'm also a last resort, you see, the door of Yinzhou has been open to welcome the people before, but I didn't expect this person to come too much, a few days ago it was already stuffed in Yinzhou, and now it really can't fit it." Ma Kangan thumped his chest, looking sad and regretful.

"Hmph, is it?I didn't see a few refugees along the way in Yinzhou City, where did you say this person was stuffed by you?" Xia Qingcang asked with sharp eyes.

Being stared at by Xia Qingcang, Ma Kangan trembled, cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly smiled: "Xia Shenzhuo, you have wronged me, people in and out, I have a record here, come here, take the records of the contact list to Xia Shen." ”

After a while, someone handed Xia Qingcang a thick notebook, which clearly recorded the personnel exchanges in Yinzhou in recent days, and looking at the records, he did accept a lot of outsiders.

Ma Kangan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Look, the outsiders who have poured in in the past few days have reached the upper limit of our planned population in Yinzhou City, and if we let people in, there may be problems." ”

Xia Qingcang carefully checked the data, and there seemed to be no problem, so he sighed and said: "Extraordinary times, extraordinary policies, and I hope that Master Ma will open the door to welcome people." ”

"I really can't do this, this line of political city is not something that can be done with a hot mind. Ma Kangan said with a smug face.

Xia Qingcang was shocked in his heart: Good boy, the implication of this is that I can't close this matter of administrative governance in Yinzhou. However, in retrospect, as long as they did not break the law, the people of the Dragon Imperial Pavilion really had no right to meddle in local political affairs.

Seeing that Xia Qingcang didn't respond, Ma Kang sneered in peace of mind: You are just a detective, how can you take care of me? You dare to question me, ridiculous, lamentable.

Just when Xia Qingcang was in a dilemma, Princess Lingyue walked in front of Ma Kangan, took out something from her waist and handed it to the other party.

At first, Ma Kangan looked indifferent, but when he saw the thing in Princess Lingyue's hand, his eyes suddenly widened, his face changed abruptly, and a smile was piled up on his face again, and he just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Princess Lingyue.

Ma Kangan immediately understood what he meant, and said to Xia Qingcang with a smile: "Xia Shenzhuo, I think you are right, extraordinary times are extraordinary policies, those outside the city are also our Yinzhou people, and it is our duty to protect them, so I will order the city gate to be opened and let them into the city." ”

Xia Qingcang looked at Princess Lingyue suspiciously, Princess Lingyue turned her head and smiled at him, and said, "Let's go, Brother Xia, let's go to the city gate and supervise them." ”

When the two came to the city gate, they saw that the people outside the city had entered the city gate after registering in order one by one, and everyone's faces were filled with a sigh of relief.

Although Xia Qingcang was haunted by the change in Ma Kangan's attitude just now, and his suspicion of Princess Lingyue's identity was also foggy, when he saw the happy appearance of the people, he was suddenly relieved.

At that moment, he saw a man who had entered the city hurrying towards him, handed him a letter, and said, "Someone has asked me to give this to you." ”

"Who is it?" Xia Qingcang asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, he just gave me the letter and the silver for running errands, but it looks like he's about the same size as you. Then the people joined the crowd.

Hearing this, Xia Qingcang frowned, and hurriedly opened the envelope, with only a short line of words on it: "Donglin outside the city, see you or disperse." ”

Xia Qingcang said to Princess Lingyue to go to the inn and wait, and he quickly ran out of the city.

It should be you, my mentor, Fang Xingquan, do you know that I have been looking for you, so you took the initiative to invite me to meet? Could it be that you have already gotten rid of the Gu worm's control at this moment?

One question after another flashed through Xia Qingcang's mind, and the answer was in the dead forest in front of him.

In a clearing in the middle of Donglin outside Yinzhou City, a tall man stood quietly, looking into the distance.

A gust of wind blew, and a tall man of the same stature appeared behind him.

"You're finally here. The tall man said lightly.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Fang. Xia Qingcang looked intently at the man opposite and said calmly.

Fang Xingquan slowly turned around and looked at Xia Qingcang with a smile.
