Chapter 110 Abandoning the car to save the commander (4)

Speaking of Qiu Zhi, Lou Xiyue's mood was inevitably ups and downs. She took a deep breath and asked, "What happened to him? He was rescued by his accomplices that night and escaped. He must be very free and at ease now."

Fu Guan: "That's not necessarily the case." He said: "There is good and not bad news in the east - Qiu Zhi is missing."

Lou Xiyue: "Missing? What happened?" Did his accomplice hide him to avoid trouble?

"When Mingyue was in court, Qiu Zhi complained of illness, and his client wrote a memorial. On the grounds that the elders in the family were old, he asked to return to his hometown and live in seclusion in the mountains. Sheng Zai agreed. Soon after, Qiu Zhi took his family and left the capital.

." Fu Guan said:

"He ordered people to follow him, but they soon lost track of Qiu Zhi and his family."

Lou Xiyue can clearly understand the meaning behind his words. A good person should not be thrown away just as he says, nor can he be seen as soon as he says he is gone. Fu Guan will not send out wine bags and rice bags to follow him. He will follow closely all the way and will not slack off.

Therefore, it is not possible that the guard lost him due to negligence, but there is something fishy about Qiu Zhi's departure from Beijing, and there is something hidden behind the scenes.

Fu Guan added: "The guards followed the Qiu Mansion's carriage to the outskirts of Beijing. They saw people outside the carriage entering the inn, and then no one from the Qiu Mansion came out. In addition, the carriage outside the inn was always parked there.

, no one has touched it.”

At the same time, the guards sent by Prince Xuanping searched the inn inside and outside while the people inside were not paying attention, but found no trace of Qiu Zhi and his family.

Therefore, from the outside, Qiu Zhi's family disappeared on the way out of Beijing.

Fu Guan said: "From the beginning when Qiu Zhi was writing a memorial to the time when he disappeared, he himself did not come forward directly, and everything was left to the Dongzhi. Therefore, he thought that Qiu Zhi might not have left.

Passing through the capital."

Lou Xiyue followed his words and speculated: "In other words, Qiu Zhi was strictly controlled by another group of people in Linlang Pavilion from the night he was taken away. His behavior was strictly controlled by

There is a limit, even the resignation letter cannot be done by others."

She thought for a moment and then said: "Since Qiu Zhi has never left the capital, then the 'Qiu family' who left the capital cannot be faked by others."

That makes sense.

The person pretending to be Qiu Zhi took off his disguise outside the inn on the outskirts of Beijing, and then returned to the capital under another identity. It is no wonder that the guards of the Xuanping Palace could not find Qiu Zhi's whereabouts.

Analyzing Donglai in this way, it is indeed not good news, but it is not absolutely bad news either.

The bad thing is that if Ming Qiu Zhi's whereabouts become a mystery and they can't find him, they will naturally be unable to follow the clues and find out the outside story of "Linlang Pavilion".

But fortunately, the news of Qiu Zhi's death has not yet spread. Although he was missing at that time, he is very likely alive. If someone is alive, then there is a chance to find him.

Fu Guan said: "I have lost clues from Dongqiu Zhi. If I want to solve the predicament, I have to start with the merchant in Linzhou." He walked on the chair, took a sip of hot tea, and said

:

"He will send people to trace the whereabouts of that businessman. As for the rest, Miss Lou, I will help you very much."

Lou Xiyue gathered the thin quilt and said, "If you need his help, I'll just ask." Since we agreed to cooperate, Lou Xiyue naturally wouldn't sit back and watch, it was her turn to help.

, she will naturally not refuse.

"It will be the birthday of Princess An Ning in half a month. At that time, the princess palace will entertain the nobles and nobles. As Princess Xuanping, Miss Lou is also invited." Fu Guan said: "He needs Miss Lou to play my role as a spy.

I have the ability to go to Princess An Ning’s Mansion to look for clues.”

He glanced at Lou Xiyue and said with a smile: "Miss Lou has a lot of experience in the world. She must have her own way to deal with mistakes. I don't think I need him to advise me, right?"

Lou Xiyue was used to being a loner, and she didn't like to act entirely according to other people's orders and plans. Since Fu Guan didn't interfere, she was naturally happy.

"I don't worry, I just hope that if there is a flaw outside the princess's house, he will definitely find it."

Fu Guan looked at her firm eyes quietly, and when he saw her passionate eyes like peach petals blooming with a different kind of brilliance, he immediately looked away.

He didn't know why he begged to leave, but he always had the feeling that if he took one more look, he would be burned by the heat flowing out of those eyes.

Fu Guan didn't know how Hong described that strange feeling, but after turning his head, his breathing and heartbeat calmed down.

Perhaps those few months had been too busy, and the injury had not yet fully recovered, so he was feeling a little unwell. He thought that he would have to ask the imperial doctor to take a look.

Speaking of imperial doctors...

He asked: "The imperial doctor has checked my pulse. Although I am not seriously ill, I need to rest a lot. I will rest. He will not disturb me and I will leave."

He did not know the true identity of "Ban Xiyu" before, and rested in that room once or twice in the name of "husband". But now that he knew that this princess was not that princess, Fu Guan could not stay longer.

Lou Xiyue always wanted to leave, and for her sake, he had to stay in her house for the night.

With that in mind, Fu Guan stood up and left.

"Your Majesty, please hurry up, he won't send you off." Lou Xiyue said without moving, lazily leaning on the pillow.

Hearing this, Fu Guan couldn't help but turned around and glanced at her, leaving a comment: "If you don't need it, you don't need it from me. When Bu Naodong comes back, I hope Miss Lou won't entertain him with hidden weapons anymore. Even if it doesn't happen."

I’m asking for a discussion, and please ask Miss Lou to throw more accurately, otherwise it will look like he has bullied Miss Lou.”

Lou Xiyue: "..."

She looked at Fu Guan's hateful back and endured it. She didn't grab the pillow beside her legs and throw it over before - she was not a patient, and she would suffer a loss if she threw the pillow away. It was not worth it, not worth it.

*

Half a month later, the toxins in Lou Xiyue's body were completely eliminated, and the typhoid fever was gone. In fact, on the third day, she had almost recovered, and she even practiced swordplay several times during this period.

Bu Naodu came to a remote courtyard to practice alone before dawn. At that time, the surrounding area was quiet and no one noticed her.

And during the half month of her training, Fu Guan also made progress.

First, Yan Yun's case was denied. After a joint investigation by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, the facts of the case were clear and the charges were confirmed. After reading the memorial, Sheng Zai immediately agreed and sentenced Yan Yun to the death penalty of beheading. He will be held in Caishikou one month later.

Beheaded in public display.

In addition, Yan Yun's residence was also confiscated by the Ministry of Justice. Among the stolen goods confiscated, there were many tributes sent to the capital by officials from various places, which the housekeeper of Yan Yun's small estate could not possess.

The emperor was furious and ordered Yan Yun to be rewarded with a hundred boards.

Surprisingly, Fu Guan did not find any other embezzled money among Yan Yun's stolen goods. Some of the money was lost.

When the weather in the capital gradually turned cooler, Fu Guan brought another news to Lou Xiyue - the owner of Qing'an Tea House who had left the capital in a hurry was from a wealthy family in Linzhou.

He is one of the confidants of Fulin, the head of the wealthy family.

Unfortunately, the "confidant" seemed to have noticed that someone was investigating him, so he went to hide his whereabouts. The people sent by Fu Guan were tracking him everywhere.

At the same time, an invitation from Princess Anning's Mansion was also handed to Lou Xiyue's lap.
