A few days later, Pei Yuanshu went to the yamen of the Jingzhou General Administration to take an examination, and the first person to investigate was the envoy of Yan Tieji.
Although they knew that Deng Tianguan was secretly stationing troops before they came, it was difficult to catch this kind of thing, and they had to find another way. As we all know, the most indispensable things in war are weapons and rations. As the number of soldiers increases, the demand for these things will also increase. As long as you follow this line, you should be able to catch his handle.
Cha can't be too blatant to investigate, after all, they are still stepping on other people's territory. If Deng Tianguan jumps over the wall, it will be troublesome, so they can only check the bottom of the house quietly, because Deng Tianguan's eyeliner is all around the house, and there are people who follow secretly when they go out. , Chu Jinglan simply took Ye Huaiyang to the street together, pretending to be playing with his concubine.
I saw several blacksmith shops along the way. Not only did they sell not many things, but the quality didn’t seem to be high. At that time, Chu Jinglan deduced that Deng Tianguan confiscated the raw materials wantonly in order to make weapons. Later, when he arrived at the silver building, Ye Huaiyang's words from the shopkeeper's mouth turned out to be the same. Without further ado, he immediately asked Pei Yuanshu to investigate.
After Chu Sanghuai ascended the throne, he assigned the management rights of salt and iron to the imperial court, so he had the post of inspector of salt and iron, mainly responsible for the collection and sale of local minerals. It is to let Pei Yuanshu pass his purpose. If there is an unreasonable outflow from the iron ore, he can find out more clues, so as to confirm Deng Tianguan's crime of treason.
Pei Yuanshu continued to fight at night until the early morning, and when he came to report to Chu Jinglan, he had already turned around a few times.
"how?"
The outside of the house was as dark as ink, and the light inside was like beans. The two of them sat across the copper stove. Several charcoal heads in the inner chamber were burning red, emitting a continuous wave of heat. Pei Yuanshu closed his sleeves slightly, always looking down and looking down. Hearing Chu Jinglan's question, his face that was already in the shadows became more and more hesitant.
"My lord, Wei Chen carefully counted those account books and found nothing wrong."
Chu Jinglan took the silver pot from the stove, folded his wrist slightly, hot water poured out from the mouth of the pot, filled two glazed cups one after another, he pushed one to Pei Yuanshu, and then said slowly: "This king knows already."
Pei Yuanshu raised his head because of this calm tone, and asked suspiciously, "My lord already guessed it?"
"Deng Tianguan is a shrewd person. I think he won't make mistakes in this kind of thing. It's normal if you can't find it."
"Then... is this road just cut off?"
"Of course not, this king has already ordered people to investigate the foundry around Jinguan City, and there should be news coming back soon." Chu Jinglan paused, his eyes fixed on him, "Go back and fix it. , the Shadow Guard will escort you to Lingnan early tomorrow morning, and this king wants you to take Chang Xin in the shortest time possible."
Pei Yuanshu was so shocked that he almost stood up.
"It will take more than three days to go back and forth to Lingnan. If King Qiyang finds that Weichen is not there, he will guess that Weichen has gone to Lingnan. Isn't it in danger for you and the princess?"
"So you have to do it as soon as possible."
Although Chu Jinglan's tone was indifferent, it showed an unbearable determination and sternness. Just like the dark night hit by a storm, an electric light suddenly slashed down, and the sky was bright, even reflecting the confused thoughts in Pei Yuanshu's mind. , he got up slowly and gave a deep salute to the front.
"Weichen will definitely live up to the prince's entrustment."
Chu Jinglan nodded slightly, picked up the brown envelope on the table and handed it to him, saying, "Look at it on the way."
"Wei Chen obeys." Pei Yuanshu took it with both hands and put it in his arms, then turned around and stepped out of the room.
On the ten-mile-long street, the drums were suddenly struck, and the sound was deep and clear. days will be longer.
Back in the bedroom, Chu Jinglan quietly took off his shirt and went to bed in the dark, a warm ball rolled into his arms immediately, wrapped his hands and feet on the ground, he hugged him and asked in surprise, "When did you wake up? "
Ye Huaiyang didn't open her eyes, she blurted out a few words: "When you leave."
Chu Jinglan took a breath, but didn't say anything else. She only covered her with the quilt, and then closed her eyes. After a moment of silence, she thought she had fallen asleep, but when she bent her arm, a voice came out. .
"Is Yuan Shu gone?"
"Let's go." He answered flatly, and the ending seemed to rise half a tone, "Worried about him?"
The pink lips raised a graceful arc, and the sweet words filled the ear curtains: "I'm a little worried, after all, I'm an idiot. It's not easy to explain to Linger if I break it."
"As long as he does what I say, nothing can go wrong."
"That's natural. In terms of talent and talent, there is no one in Chu who can match my husband."
Ye Huaiyang's brows and eyes are slender and charming like a crescent moon, but she is not immune to bursts of hot breath spraying over. She raised her eyes and saw that Chu Jinglan had gotten so close, and her handsome facial features had enlarged. Several times, especially those black eyes, like a whirlpool that kept stirring, slowly sucking all her mind away.
"When it comes to fishing in troubled waters, none of the noble girls from aristocratic families are your opponents."
Chu Jinglan raised his hand and pulled the leg that had been wrapped around his waist at an unknown time. The fog in Ye Huaiyang's eyes disappeared, and then he pouted: "I'll take out all the money bags. If it’s empty, what if people let me hollow it out for a while?”
"There's work to do tomorrow."
Snapped! The positive side sternly rejected the negative side's request for sex, and the negative side gave up and threw out the killer.
"Do you have a habit of breaking your sleeves?"
After hearing this, Chu Jinglan's face turned green, she grabbed her waist with big palms, and pressed her hard on the bed, "If you talk nonsense again, tomorrow I will let Tang Qingfeng take you back to the capital. ."
Ye Huaiyang snorted and turned his head away, ignoring him.
It will threaten people, what a hero!
She was so angrily reciting, but she couldn't stop the drowsiness from attacking, but was pressed by Chu Jinglan and couldn't turn around, so she turned her head and fell asleep like this. Looking at her, there was a brisk smile on his lips, and then he gently adjusted her sleeping position, then turned over to lie down, and moved her into his arms again.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, while they were still sleeping, Pei Yuanshu set off. Under the cover of the shadow guard, he quietly left Jinguan City. He galloped all the way, and arrived at Lingnan safely in the evening. He rushed straight away as soon as he entered the city. Frontier camp.
Chang Xin was not unsurprised by his arrival.
As Deng Tianguan's secret ally, she had known for a long time that the imperial court had sent people to Jingzhou to investigate, but she never thought that one of them would appear in her tent a few days later, single-handedly and frankly, making her a moment and a half Couldn't even guess what he meant.
"Brother Pei, you are..."
Pei Yuanshu knelt on one knee on the ground with a thud, and said solemnly, "Qinghui, I'm late!"
The two of them were from the same country, and the first thing he called out was Chang Xin's small words. Now, even if Chang Xin had more worries and precautions, three points were eliminated, and he immediately stepped over to help him up, saying: "Pei Brother, what are you doing? Are you going to beat me?"
Pei Yuanshu shook his head heavily and said, "I'm just following orders."
Hearing this, Chang Xin seemed to have been struck by lightning, with a confused expression, "It was the emperor... who asked you to come?"
"That's right." Pei Yuanshu's eyes were far-reaching, full of unshakable firmness, "Before the disaster of Bai Xing in Lingnan, and the Bai family covered him in the capital, no one knew the situation here at all, causing the emperor I mistakenly thought that you had committed a retrograde crime. Later the truth came out, and the emperor executed only one of Bai Xing due to the influence of the Bai clan. After that, he kept holding back until he was uprooted a few days ago. No, he sent me here immediately. ."
Chang Xin is still ignorant: "What are you here for?"
Pei Yuanshu let out a long sigh, as if sighing that she didn't understand.
"Of course I'm here to comfort and reward you. Previously, the emperor was forced by the Bai clan, which made you feel a lot of grievances. Now that the Bai clan has been eliminated, you should repay your innocence. You have to understand the emperor's difficulties. A lot of things have traitorous officials interfering with them, and it will inevitably make a loyal and loyal person like you, Qinghui, to suffer, and the emperor is also distressed!"
Chang Xin was shocked and asked incredulously, "Your Majesty... really said that?"
"Is there still a fake?" Pei Yuanshu stared, as if blaming her for not being polite, and seeing that she really didn't believe it, he took out the letter in his arms, "Well, look at it for yourself, the commendation document issued by the provincial government, this Chu Chu I am afraid that there is no other person in the country who has the honor of you!"
Chang Xin hurriedly opened the envelope and read it carefully several times, dumbfounded.
How could this be? Didn't the court ignore her? She has always been defeated by the Yi people for so many years. Although Bai Xingzhi did it, the emperor did not reuse her again after his death. She once thought that she had been abandoned by the court, and it was only a matter of time to step down. Everything was done by the emperor in order to get rid of the Bai family, she was so confused...
Confused to the point of being a coward with Deng Tianguan.
At this moment, Chang Xin's heart was already in a mess, not knowing what to do, Pei Yuanshu saw it clearly from the side, so he further added to the flames.
"Look at you, you're so excited that you can't even speak. Come on, there are no outsiders here. I won't tell the emperor that you didn't kneel down to thank you."
"Brother Pei, I..." Chang Xin reacted, she wanted to laugh a little at his funny words, but she couldn't get rid of her worries, her face looked particularly tangled.
"Okay, I won't tell you more, you take care of yourself, I'll go back to Jingzhou first."
Pei Yuanshu patted her on the shoulder and was about to leave, but she grabbed him reflexively and said, "What are you doing in Jingzhou?"
"I have been ordered to inspect the officials." Pei Yuanshu smiled, but his face was a little bleak. "I don't know when the next meeting will be. The family relies on you to protect it."
Others must not understand the deep meaning of his words, but Chang Xin understood it instantly. She had heard Deng Tianguan say the real purpose of their going there, and she knew that Pei Yuanshu's ability would definitely be able to find out something. At that time, Deng Tianguan will definitely not let him go, and if he enters Jingzhou again, it will be a dead end!
She subconsciously stopped him.
"Don't go back, go back to the capital directly!"
Pei Yuanshu laughed and said, "You're such an adult, you still talk like a child, the prince is still waiting for me in Jinguan City, but I came to you first before the task was completed. If you go back late, you should be scolded. "
After he finished speaking, he loosened his sleeves and was about to leave, his hand was about to be placed on the tent, and a low voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't investigate, Deng Tianguan will kill you!"
Pei Yuanshu was stagnant, still facing her back, with half of his face buried under the thin shade, showing a heavy wry smile.
The pond is full of swimming fish, which one to choose to catch and when to take the bait, the lord really scored exactly the same...
