"Come here, bring us the account book and confession." Bai Dong turned around and asked someone to bring the things to Wen Qingzhu.
Looking up, there was a list at the top.
Lu Tao flipped through the list. Under the list was a stack of confessions, and at the bottom were three ledgers.
Wen Qingzhu took a look at the list and saw that the first name on it was Linzhou's colleague.
"According to the brief information later, it seems that you single-handedly promoted this colleague."
Bai Dong cupped his hands and said: "He was originally placed here to keep an eye on the subordinates. Instead of being at a loss to prepare, it is better to dispatch him to your side. This will be safer."
This white hole is a bit smart.
After a rough look at these things, Linzhou is vast and the terrain is much more complex than Dezhou and Yunzhou, so it is not easy to manage.
It's not that Dezhou and Liu Guang have never thought about controlling Linzhou, but it's a pity that Yunzhou has exhausted them and they have no time to take care of Linzhou, so they are slowly infiltrating.
Wen Qingzhu would ask questions from time to time when he didn't understand anything, and Bai Dong knew everything and explained everything.
Lin Zhou didn't have much of a problem originally, but now that Bai Dong is actively cooperating, Wen Qingzhu naturally feels a lot less worried.
At the end, Wen Qingzhu asked him: "Do you know Bai Liufang?"
Hearing the name, Bai Dong nodded quickly: "He, he is my son! He disappeared a few years ago. I have no clues here. I only know that he was captured by people from Texas."
Wen Qingzhu noticed the meaning behind his words: "You mean it's not Liu Guangxia's hand?"
"No." Bai Dong was sure.
The news from Dezhou quickly spread to Yunzhou. Tang Qin thought twice and sent Yan Yongzhang over.
When something goes wrong in the prefecture, the prefect comes in person, which can stabilize the people's sentiments.
It is now mid-November, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the area over Shuangfeng Mountain has become completely quiet.
Someone is coming from the capital.
Early in the morning, Wen Qingzhu got the news and went out to guard the city gate.
The last time she sent a message to the capital, she asked Mingxuan to come to Dezhou.
But she received a letter from Wen Mingliang with indeed good news.
Soon a pair of cavalry appeared. Look at the flag, it belongs to the city guard!
Wen Qingzhu became serious and quickly ordered Lu Jiajun to prepare secretly.
After a while, the cavalry stopped at the door, and the leader turned out to be Lei Xiao.
After he dismounted, he quickly walked up to Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Where is his body?"
"In Yunzhou, he—"
Before Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, Lei Xiao turned to the horses and spoke a few words to Wen Mingliang, who was following closely, as if he was explaining things.
After that, Lei Bian got on his horse again, led the cavalry to avoid Dezhou City, and started to rush towards Yunzhou.
There were still a few people in front who were not leaving, it was Wen Mingliang and the others.
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and asked, "Have you received my letter?"
"What letter?" Wen Mingliang was startled and explained, "Master Lei came here because he received the news of Lei San's death. He asked the city guard to borrow troops and horses. It happened that I also had something urgent to come over, so I came with Master Lei Came here together."
For some reason, Wen Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat: "What's the emergency?"
Wen Mingliang looked into her eyes and hesitated to speak. Finally, he pointed inside and said, "Seventh sister, let's go in first and talk."
After following him a few steps into the city, Wen Qingzhu's eyelids suddenly twitched.
She grabbed Wen Mingliang's hand, stopped and said, "Tell me now, did something happen to Mingxuan?"
Wen Mingliang nodded: "Yes, he was captured by Jiang Yuancheng."
"What are you talking about! Mingxuan was taken away by Jiang Yuancheng? How could he be taken away! Didn't I clean up the capital?"
Wen Qingzhu couldn't accept it, but she suddenly remembered that when she was still in the Huns, she seemed to have had nightmares about Mingxuan.
She turned around and walked quickly into the city, Wen Mingliang quickly followed behind her.
It wasn't until he arrived at the Yamen that Wen Qingzhu finally calmed down.
She had carefully calculated that Mingxuan could not be caught.
Sitting in the room, Wen Qingzhu looked at Wen Mingliang beside him and said, "There has been no news from the capital. What happened before Mingxuan was captured by Jiang Yuancheng?"
Wen Mingliang bit his lower lip and struggled for a long time before saying: "The emperor listened to Prime Minister Pei's suggestion and wanted to marry Wei Qinglin as the queen. Mingxuan and His Majesty had a conflict. Over in Kangcheng, Mingxuan was assassinated. Seriously injured.
The emperor wanted to save people, but he didn't want the Jiang family to rebel. Ruan Mi, the city guard, grabbed him, and Mingxuan was captured. Only now did we know that Mingxuan was in Jiang Yuancheng's hands. "
After listening to his words, Wen Qingzhu's expression remained as usual, just looking at the door quietly.
There was no sound in the room, and in the oppressive silence, Wen Mingliang always felt that Wen Qingzhu's mood was not right.
After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously: "Seventh sister, the emperor asked me to come and help you. He said he would rescue Mingxuan intact."
Wen Qingzhu slowly raised his eyelids and asked word for word: "Fu Lie already knew this news, right?"
Wen Mingliang suddenly became anxious: "Seventh Sister! As a result of the discussion between the Emperor and the Regent on this matter, Jiang Yuancheng's purpose is to lure you there. Now they have made arrangements. By the end of this month at the latest, they will definitely be able to rescue Mingxuan." from!"
"You're right." Wen Qingzhu stood up slowly.
Wen Mingliang was about to breathe a sigh of relief when Wen Qingzhu changed the topic: "They have all agreed that it is their business, and what I want to do is my business."
She walked directly outside, and Wen Mingliang quickly caught up with her.
When he arrived at the door, Wen Qingzhu stopped suddenly, looked at him sideways and said, "Since Mingxuan can't come over, I'll leave the affairs in Dezhou to you. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Jasmine and Yang Liu. In addition, There are two trustworthy people, Tang Qin and Shen Yu, and you will know their role when you contact Yunzhou."
"Seventh sister!" Wen Mingliang wanted to stop her.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu walked quickly outside and turned his back to him and said, "If you can risk everything to save Qingxin, then I can risk everything to save Mingxuan."
At this moment, Wen Mingliang seemed to have been cast by a restraining spell and could no longer move.
Yes, if he were in the position of the seventh sister, he would definitely not want to be kept in the dark.
In less than an hour, Wen Qingzhu set off with his people.
Fu Lie, who was driving from Dingyuan to Dezhou, met Lei Xiao halfway.
When Fu Lie learned that Wen Mingliang was coming, he knew something was wrong, so he turned around and headed towards Yangzhou.
At this time, Jiang Yuancheng was in Yangzhou handling the Shen family's affairs.
Wen Mingxuan is an important bargaining chip in his hand, so Wen Qingzhu must also be in Yangzhou.
After galloping for half a day, Fu Lie caught up with Wen Qingzhu.
He quickly led the team forward, pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and stopped sideways, forcing Wen Qingzhu and the others to stop.
Fu Lie got off his horse and walked slowly to Wen Qingzhu.
Looking at Fu Lie in front of him, Wen Qingzhu looked at him expressionlessly.
There was light snow falling in the sky, and it stopped silently on Wen Qingzhu's hooded head.
In order to facilitate riding, Wen Qingzhu didn't wear much clothes. After galloping for a long time, her lips turned black and blue.
The two of them looked at each other in silence, but Fu Lie finally spoke first: "Qingqing, Jiang Yuancheng's visit this time is not good. I have met Mr. Wu, and you can't go to Yangzhou."
Maybe she needs to make some things clear.
Wen Qingzhu dismounted and walked up to Fu Lie. He smiled gently and said, "You didn't let me go to the Huns before, and you would rather I go to Yangzhou. Why did you suddenly do the opposite now?"
"Qingqing, I won't let you go to Yangzhou because Xie Feichen has fallen into Jiang Yuancheng's hands. If you go there, how can I rest assured!"
As soon as Fu Lie saw her expression, he knew that what she cared about was actually another thing.
The Fu Lie in front of him was still the same as in his memory, but Wen Qingzhu felt a strange feeling deep in his heart.
Regret arises spontaneously.
Last time when she was in Dingyuan, she knew that Fu Lie had something he didn't tell her, but she didn't ask any questions!
Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes.
Fu Lie clearly knew how important Mingxuan was to him, yet he had concealed it until now.
Wen Qingzhu, who opened his eyes, slowly walked up to Fu Lie, held his hand, and said quietly: "Get out of the way, I will handle my own affairs."
"Qingqing." Fu Lie subconsciously held Wen Qingzhu's hand and explained hastily, "I really didn't mean to hide it from you."
Wen Qingzhu slowly pushed him away, the smile on his face without any warmth: "He is my brother, my most important relative."
As soon as she turned around, someone grabbed her wrist.
Wen Qingzhu turned back with an indifferent expression: "Let go."
Fu Lie didn't let go and stretched out his hand to knock Wen Qingzhu unconscious.
Unexpectedly, before his sword fell, Fu Lie suddenly felt that his whole body had no strength.
He had no choice but to let go of Wen Qingzhu's hand and half-knelt on the ground.
Fu Lie raised his head with difficulty and met Wen Qingzhu's frost-covered eyes. The wind and snow separated the two of them, as if they were thousands of feet away.
"Sorry, I didn't want to poison you, but I knew you would definitely do it." Wen Qingzhu showed a sad smile.
Then, he left without any nostalgia.
After Wen Qingzhu mounted his horse and left, Fu Lie could no longer hold on and threw himself on the ground.
His whole face was buried in the snow, but he didn't feel cold at all, because his heart was even colder.
Qingqing, when will you completely believe me...
The fastest journey from Dezhou to Yangzhou by horseback is ten days.
But if we switch to waterway halfway, we can shorten the journey by two days.
While Wen Qingzhu was on his way, he broke the news to Jiang Yuancheng.
Five days later, when she was changing boats, she finally met an acquaintance.
"Sir, please come this way." Jiang Ziang walked over and looked at her with a smile.
Jiang Yuancheng sent him here this time. It was obviously the reason why the last mission was successful, and he gained more trust.
Beidou beside him immediately stood up.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand to ask him to step back, stepped forward and said to Jiang Ziang, "Sixth Young Master Jiang, long time no see."
Seeing how she could keep her composure, Jiang Zi'ang was amazed: "I could have killed you when we met at Qingjing Temple last time, but it's a pity that Fu Lie and the little emperor are so powerful that they didn't give me a chance at all."
Wen Qingzhu remained calm and retorted calmly: "It's not that their people are too powerful, but that Jiang Sixth Young Master's people need more training, otherwise you will have no chance in the future."
"You-" Jiang Ziang's anger was suddenly ignited.
Just thinking of Jiang Yuancheng's plan this time, he forced himself to endure it: "Sir, you are still as sharp-tongued as before."
Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "Thank you."
Jiang Ziang had no patience anymore, stepped aside and said directly on the boat: "Please, my lord."
Ignoring the growing number of prying eyes around him, Wen Qingzhu walked up calmly.
The boat followed the current and accelerated towards Yangzhou.
Wen Qingzhu sat by the window and looked outside quietly.
Jiang Zi'ang, who was originally responsible for keeping an eye on her movements, saw her being so cooperative and couldn't help but wonder if it was really as Jiang Yuancheng guessed.
Is there a problem between Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie
The sailing speed was very fast and the supplies were convenient. We arrived in Yangzhou on time three days later.
What Wen Qingzhu didn't expect was that the person who came to pick her up was Jing Yinuo.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the bow of the ship, waiting for the ship to stop.
Looking at Jing Yinuo at the dock from afar, many speculations emerged in his mind.
