Gu Beijian looked at Yi Yami galloping forward. She was very different from the Yi Yami he knew at the beginning, who was thin and small but had a sunny face. The Yi Yami now had grown up a lot and looked more like an adult girl. There was less baby fat on her face and more heroic spirit. There was more determination between her eyebrows and eyes rather than tenderness.
Yi Yami saw him looking at her and wondered, "Why, is there something dirty on my face?"
"Hahahaha, no, it's charming." Gu Beijian replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Yi Yami rolled his eyes and said, "We are on our way, brother, can you please concentrate a little?"
Gu Beijian shook his head. "No, as long as I'm with you, I can't help but want to stare at you."
Yi Yami heard this and said, "Then cover your eyes."
Gu Beijian was speechless. "..., Yi Yami talking to you is like talking to a cow!"
"Then go talk to Niu, what are you talking to me about? You are really not doing your job properly!" Yiyami suddenly got angry. Her brother might be in danger, and this person still had the mind to talk about love. What the hell!
The two of them had a little unpleasantness, but they still sped up and headed towards Duhei Mountain.
…
Yi Xiaomai and Mo Ping'an, one was appointed as the imperial envoy by the emperor, and the other was his deputy, assisting Yi Xiaomai in handling cases.
When they heard that they were going to investigate Mo Ping'an's father's case, they were both very excited.
The pace of travel also increased.
The Duheishan area is located in the northeast of the entire Yinwei Kingdom.
It was a barren land with no grass growing, and few people would go there except the people living around it.
Duheishan belongs to Heizhou and is under the management of the prefect of Heizhou.
Black State, as the name suggests, the land in the entire area is black. Although the soil is dark, it is very fertile.
The people here live a relatively comfortable life, except for the climate problem.
Heizhou is located in the north and has only two seasons a year: winter and spring.
It is autumn now, and people along the way are wearing more and more clothes.
The two men finally brought the yamen runners to the door of the Heizhou prefect.
The governor of Heizhou received the news and waited at the door early.
Although I was mentally prepared, I still felt strange when I saw these two half-grown children.
"Sir Yi, please come in. The emperor has sent you to investigate a case. I have already prepared accommodation for you and have collected all the old case files for you. Please come and check them out after you have a quick meal." The prefect of Heizhou was a tall man.
"Okay, thank you. But I don't know what your name is?" Yi Xiaomai quickly imitated the Heizhou governor's bowing gesture and asked.
"My surname is Guan, and my given name is Jing. You can call me by my name or my official title." Guan Jing said humbly.
"Okay, Master Guan, we were hungry on the way here and would like to eat first." Yi Xiaomai said a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, you should have told me earlier. Now that we're here, it's just like being at your own home. Don't be polite. You can eat whatever we eat!" Guan Jing led the two people into the house to talk.
It was much warmer inside the house than outside. There was charcoal burning in the house, and there were several stoves. Some of the stoves were simmering wine, some were stewing vegetables, and some were simmering rice.
"Phew, it's much warmer!" Yi Xiaomai smiled and took off his cloak.
There was a maid serving nearby, who just hung it up.
"Oh, this imperial envoy is so young!" Guan Jing's wife Zhang Xuemei looked at Yi Xiaomai and spoke.
"It's good to start studying early, and it's good luck." Yi Xiaomai said with a smile.
Mo Ping'an also took off his cloak, and someone next to him took it and hung it up.
"This deputy envoy is also young. Wow, she is actually a girl." Zhang Xuemei turned her head to observe Mo Ping'an. She saw that Mo Ping'an was wearing a hat and had not taken it off yet. As soon as she took it off, she saw Mo Ping'an's ear holes.
"Yeah." Mo Ping'an's personality has changed a lot. He is no longer timid, but more calm.
Seeing that the two were children, Zhang Xuemei felt relieved and thought it was not a big deal, so she opened the lid and stirred the stewed dish.
"It smells so good, Madam Prefect, what kind of dish is this?" Mo Ping'an sniffed and asked.
"Just call me Sister Xuemei. I'm not much older than you. I have brothers and sisters your age." Zhang Xuemei said with a smile, and then answered Mo Ping'an's question, "This is fish stewed in an iron pot, with some other vegetables. The fish is caught in the river, very tender and fresh. I guarantee you have never eaten fish this fresh!"
Zhang Xuemei served a bowl to the two of them.
"Come, drink some soup first to warm your body. Our Heizhou is not like other places. It's very cold here." Zhang Xuemei urged.
"Thank you!" Yi Xiaomai and Mo Ping'an expressed their gratitude.
He put the fish soup under his nose and smelled it. After confirming that there was no problem, he took a sip. "Well, it's really delicious, comparable to my sister's cooking skills!" Yi Xiaomai praised.
Zhang Xuemei became curious when she heard this. "Is your sister good at cooking?"
"If there is a chance, I'd like to let you know that my sister is an amazing cook." Yi Xiaomai said with a smile.
Zhang Xuemei smiled and said, "That's great!"
…
After the two men had eaten and drunk their fill, they prepared to investigate the case.
Guan Jing didn't expect these two people to be so diligent, so he smiled and said, "It's getting late today, let's check it tomorrow."
"It's okay. I just ate too much and wanted to go digest it. Let's go. Lord Guan, please go to rest early." Yi Xiaomai said softly.
"Okay, then I'll have someone prepare charcoal fire in the study so that you two won't be cold." Upon hearing this, Guan Jing ordered someone to prepare charcoal fire.
