Wen Che looked worried.
He inadvertently picked up a black spot on the table with his fingers and said, "To tell the truth, I came this time to find my brother Wen Yu."
"Why is General Wen's younger brother here too?"
"Listening to the question, does that mean that Wen Yu has never been to your yamen?"
The county magistrate thought about it carefully, for fear that he had forgotten because he was old and confused.
But after thinking about it for a while, I still don't have the slightest impression.
He said, "It's true that I haven't been here."
Wen Che was even more worried.
His face was also a little dignified.
Could it be—
Wen Yu really had an accident
The county magistrate noticed something and asked, "General Wen, did something happen?" After a brief silence, Wen Che said, "Maybe Mr. Li has not received the news from the imperial court. Three months ago, the emperor ordered that he be buried in the King Jing'an of Lingtang County, Nansai returned to Yanjing and was buried in the royal tomb of the royal family. It was his younger brother Wen who was ordered to welcome King Jing'an.
Yu, it has been three months since he left Yanjing! But there is no news for a long time, and going to Lingtang County will definitely pass through Jiahe Town, so I rushed here with my horse whip, and wanted to ask Mr. Li if there is any news about Wen Yu? "
"To be honest with General Wen, I don't know anything, let alone the news of Lord Wen."
"He really hasn't been to the yamen?"
"No, if you have been here, you will definitely not fail to inform General Wen about you."
I don't think he has the guts!
"Then where did he go?" Wen Che became more and more worried.
He has been inquiring all the way from Yanjing to here.
There is no news of Wen Yu.
All kinds of bad premonitions gathered in his heart.
The county magistrate thought about it and asked: "It has been more than ten years since King Jing'an was buried in Lingtang County? Why did the emperor suddenly allow him to be buried in the emperor's tomb?"
The sky is high and the emperor is far away!
Naturally, he was not well informed.
The major decisions made in the imperial court in Yanjing were generally transcribed by the Ministry of Housing and sent to the prefectures and prefectures.
However, Jiahe Town is really a small town, and it is located in a remote place, so the dictionary is probably missed!
Regarding the question of the county magistrate, Wen Che was inconvenient to say more: "This is the emperor's decision, and I can't speculate."
"That's right, that's right." Wen Che said, "Master Li, although I brought a lot of people out this time, none of them have experience in going deep into the desert. Wen Yu was in charge of welcoming King Jing'an and there was no news for a while. I'm worried if something happened to him in the desert, so I'm afraid
I'm afraid I'll bother you to find some experienced people to go into the Nansai Desert to look for it. "
The county magistrate has a great sense of mission: "That's natural, General Wen can rest assured. I'll let someone do it now, and I'll definitely find the Lord Wen."
"That's work."
"It should be!"
Wen Che dropped a black spot in his hand into the chessboard, propped himself up, and said, "I'm staying at the Longxiang Inn. As soon as there is news from Lord Li, please let me know."
"Yes."
"Also, this matter should not be publicized, so as not to fall into the ears of those who are interested."
"Of course the lower official understands, and General Wen can rest assured."
"Then don't disturb Mr. Li and say goodbye."
Wen Che turned around and left the pavilion, and left with a few days.
The county magistrate wanted to deliver it. But after taking two steps, I found that I couldn't keep up with the pace of other young people.
Had to give up.
Then he hurried to find someone and ordered: "Go find dozens of people who have been in and out of the Nansai Desert all the year round, and let them quickly prepare, and go all the way to Lingtang County to find a person named Wen Yu."
"Yes."
Do it in a hurry!
This is the first time Jiahe Yamen has received a matter related to the imperial court.
So the county magistrate was very concerned.
Thinking that if this matter can be done well, perhaps the imperial court will pay more attention to Jiahe Town, and then there will be officials willing to come here to serve.
Then the county magistrate can retire well.
Play chess all day long, that's life!
Wen Che took him out of the yamen for a few days, and then went back to the inn along the way.
After a few days, he asked, "Young Master, is there really something wrong with Second Young Master?"
"I'm afraid."
"But it's also strange. The second son is strong in martial arts, and the people who brought him out to pick up King Jing'an are all masters. They are also very familiar with the Nansai Desert. It's impossible to encounter a storm in the desert!"
Wen Che's brows tightened, and his footsteps stopped as he said, "I'm afraid it's not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
"Man-made disaster? What did the son want to say?"
"In Yanjing, many eyes are staring at my Wen family, especially... people from the Su family."
"Could it be... The disappearance of the Second Young Master has something to do with the Su family?"
"It's very possible!"
"That… "
Before he could say anything for a few days, Wen Che raised his hand and interrupted him: "Don't speculate on this matter, everything will be discussed after finding Wen Yu."
"Yes."
The two returned to the inn.
…
Although this Jiahe Yamen is a small one, it is very efficient.
In less than an hour, people have been assembled.
Go deep into the desert to find a man named Wen Yu.
I don't know-
That Wen Yu had already left the desert!
Late at night, outside Jiahe Town.
A carriage is moving slowly.
The carriage was extremely small and shabby, and could only fit three people together.
There was a lantern hanging from the carriage, wobbly.
Walking in the forest seems very strange.
Like a ghost car.
Sudden-
"I still want to eat, brother, give me some more."
A voice broke the eerie and terrifying night.
I saw Xiaoba and Luoyang sitting on the front plate of the carriage.
Xiao Bayi was pulling the rope in one hand and driving the carriage with a long bamboo stick in the other.
And Luoyang Youzai Youzai leaned on the side and ate steamed buns.
From time to time, I put a sip into Xiaoba's mouth,
"Brother, it's not enough to eat. If you give me some more, I'll starve to death."
"Here, open your mouth."
Xiaoba had a big mouth, and Luoyang stuffed a small piece of steamed bun into him.
The two ate with relish.
"You drive the carriage well, don't make it crooked." Luoyang said.
"Don't worry, brother, I don't know anything, but driving a carriage is the best."
"As long as you can."
"Hahaha." Little Eight giggled.
Laugh heartlessly.
Although this journey is very difficult, Xiaoba always smiles.
It's also very interesting!
Like Lichuan and Ji Yunshu, they walked in the desert for half a month before coming out.
And as soon as he left the desert, he immediately sold the three-shot camel he had stolen before, and exchanged the money for this broken carriage.
Although small, it is very practical.
Walking up the mountain road is very smooth.
After Luoyang had eaten and drank enough, he touched his stomach and said, "Is it Jiahe Town in front?"
Xiao Ba nodded: "Well, it will be there in another hour, brother, if you are sleepy, take a rest."
"I've slept all day, I'm not tired."
Very awake!
Xiao Ba suddenly frowned again and asked, "Brother, if we still can't find Miss Ji when we arrive at Jiahe Town, what should we do?" Jiahe Town is the last hope!
