Why did Lou Yunchun go to Liangzhou at this critical moment when he was investigating a fraud case?
Xu Jiang searched her mind for the travel notes she had read. Liangzhou was located in the Hexi fortress, and there was a governor's office to guard against the Xiongnu, which governed Liangzhou and intercepted the right.
There are two prefectures in Longyou, one is Anxi and the other is Beiting. The governor of Beiting is Guo Yuanzhen, the first name on Jiang Gu's list.
Thinking about the current situation in the capital, Xu Jiang felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She was afraid that Guo Yuanzhen was going to rebel.
"Is it dangerous to go there?"
"Danger is inevitable, but I will handle it carefully." Xu Jiang is very smart. The more he tries to cover up the truth, the more worried she will be. It would be better to be frank with her. Besides, Lou Yunchun doesn't want to lie to her.
Xu Jiang took a deep breath and asked again, "When do we set off?"
"Three days later."
"So urgent?"
"As you said, things must come to an end. The sooner you go, the sooner you can."
Lou Yunchun held her hand tightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "But if I leave, there will definitely be changes in the capital. Feng Miao and Xu Hao have not been arrested yet. I'm afraid they will take advantage of the opportunity to harm you."
Xu Jiang held his hand in return, nodded, and agreed, "Okay, I'll go to the mansion."
The journey to Liangzhou is dangerous. If Lou Yunchun is concerned about her safety, he will inevitably be distracted. Once distracted, the danger will increase.
She wanted him to have no worries, do his job with peace of mind, and return safely.
Seeing her agree, Lou Yunchun breathed a sigh of relief, then wiped away the worry from her brow and said soothingly, "You don't have to worry too much. We are traveling through the official post station and have someone accompanying us. Ordinary bandits won't dare to attack us."
I’m afraid the intruder is extraordinary.
Xu Jiang warned: "Be careful in everything."
"I will." Lou Yunchun leaned over and pecked her between the eyebrows.
Before the person left, Xu Jiang was already reluctant to let him go. She looked at him eagerly with her dark eyes.
How could anyone possibly move their feet? Lou Yunchun kissed her eyes, then pressed his lips against hers and whispered, "Wait for me to come back."
Xu Jiang sighed and responded softly.
"good."
After a simple wash, Lou Yunchun took the breakfast bought by Xu Jiang and ate while heading towards the Dali Temple.
On the way, he stopped by the government offices of two counties and instructed them to intensify the search for Feng Miao and Xu Hao and to bring them to justice as soon as possible. He also instructed them to keep a close eye on Xu Dang and Xu Twelve to prevent them from escaping from prison or causing casualties.
When he returns from Liangzhou, he will personally interrogate the two to correct the old case.
The magistrates of the two counties said goodbye to each other with smiles, but they cursed Lou Yunchun in their hearts.
Is this damned living devil crazy? He comes to check on us at dawn. Does he want us to sleep?
But even though he was scolded, he dared not delay his mission. As soon as the man left, he summoned the officers to search for the criminal.
He couldn't sleep, so everyone else decided not to sleep.
As soon as Lou Yunchun arrived at the Dali Temple, he went straight to Mu Congye's cell.
Mu Cong was also having breakfast. When he saw him coming, he called out, "Master Xiaolou, would you like to have some with us?"
"No, I've already eaten." Lou Yunchun shook his head, then added, "A Jiang bought it."
Mu Cong, whose wife and daughter were far away in Suzhou, also lost his appetite after hearing this.
He simply put down his chopsticks and asked, "No one comes to see me for no reason. Master Xiaolou, what is the matter?"
Lou Yunchun said seriously, "I want you to tell me where Zhao Xiu is hiding."
"Zhao Xiu?" Mu Cong was also stunned, then his old face frowned, "I'm imprisoned here, how could I know where he's hiding?"
"Think about it carefully."
Think about it? Mu Cong also lowered his brows in deep thought. After a while, he finally figured out a suspicious thing from his mind.
"After the results were announced, Zhao Xiu went to a garden in Quchi with Shangshu Wang. If he had stayed in the capital, he might have hidden there. But because he deliberately concealed it, I don't know the name and address of the garden." It was precisely because of the concealment that it seemed suspicious.
"But I think with the Dali Temple's methods of handling cases, investigating a garden is just a piece of cake."
"In Quchi?"
Quchili is separated from Quchifang in the city by only a city wall, and is connected to the Qushui River outside the city, which is branched out from Qujiang Pool. There is a sluice gate on the Qushui River flowing out of the city, which is guarded by special personnel and no one is allowed to pass.
However, although this gate prohibits people from passing through, it does not prohibit the passage of money.
If you have enough money, why worry about the gate not opening?
I believe that Zhao Xiu's escape from pursuit is closely related to these gates that only care about money and not people.
There are many private gardens in Quchi. If Zhao Xiuzhen were here, it would be a difficult situation.
If Lou Yunchun didn't go to Liangzhou, he could still deal with him slowly, but he would be leaving Beijing in three days and had other things to hand over, so he didn't have time to search every garden.
Lou Yunchun pondered for a moment and set his gaze on Mu Congye.
Mu Cong was also chewing half a Hu pancake, but when he was looked at with malicious eyes, the Hu pancake no longer tasted good.
"Master Xiaolou, is there anything else?"
"Um."
"What's up?"
"Something that would cause your Excellency to be wronged."
Mu Cong also looked at him for a while, then threw the unfinished Hu Bing back into the bowl.
At the time of Si, Mu Congye, Wang Shangshu, Luo Shangshu and others were tied together by Lou Yunchun under the scorching sun and paraded through the streets of Quchifang to serve as a warning to others.
After this incident, Lou Yunchun's reputation as the living devil was covered with a layer of starch, making it even more slick.
Quchifang was in chaos, and the bookstore was also not idle.
First, Manager Wang and Qin came to deliver things, and then the neighbors came to take care of them. With the coming and going of people, the sun was soon overhead.
The sun was scorching at noon, but the bookstore was covered by trees, so it was relatively cool.
Liang Mo and the two guards were chatting stiffly under the tree. It was not that they liked being heated by the earth's air, but they were afraid that the escaped Feng Miao and Xu Hao would come again, so they stayed there despite the heat.
