Zu An's heart tightened: "What's wrong?"
If this thing can no longer be obtained, then Daji will not be able to break through.
Yuyanluo explained: "Wuyang jade generally grows in Yuanshi veins, and it must be warmed by fire trees and silver flowers next to it. It takes a long time to form this object. Yuanshi veins are just that, our Yu family has many of them, but
Fire trees and silver flowers can only be encountered but cannot be sought."
"Fire Tree and Silver Flower?" Zu An was stunned. He had never heard of this name before.
"A plant that resembles a ferocious beast, resembling both a flower and a tree. It has undergone various mutations due to absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth for a long time in the mineral veins. Its strength is no less than that of a seventh-grade ferocious beast." Yu Yanluo explained, "
The key is that this thing is hard to come by, and for so many years the Yu family has mined veins, I have never encountered it a few times, otherwise I would not have only had so many pieces of Wuyang jade."
"Let's do this. I'll ask the people below to pay more attention. If I find the fireworks, I'll let you know when the time comes."
"Thank you, madam." Zu An thought about the level of the seventh-grade ferocious beast. Now it poses no threat to him at all. It seems that the difficulty lies in its rarity.
"Azu, you don't have to be so polite." Yu Yanluo pursed her lips and sat down again.
"There is another question I would like to ask Madam," Zu An asked. "Madam, have you ever heard of the Purple Frost Divine Milk?"
Mi Li's soul was injured and needed this to recover. The previous news was that the Duke of Yunzhong had given a portion to the emperor. As the wife of the Duke of Yunzhong, the other party might know some information.
But what disappointed him was that Yuyanluo shook her head: "Zishuang Divine Milk was presented to the emperor by the previous Yunzhong County Duke. I don't know the specific details. If Yanyou is still here, maybe he will know the inside story.
,pity……"
There was no more words to be said, and a trace of sadness flashed across his face.
Zu An was a little confused, was the other person's appearance at this time genuine or was he pretending?
If it was a disguise, it would be too scary.
"Madam, please relax, we will help find the whereabouts of the Duke." Zu An comforted.
Yu Yanluo sighed: "He has been missing for so long and there is no news. How can I not know what happened? You don't have to comfort him so deliberately."
"Madam and the Duke seem to have a good relationship?" Zu An looked at her tentatively.
Yu Yanluo shook her head slightly: "My relationship with him is by no means a good one. We are just a little closer than ordinary people. But after all, we have been husband and wife for so many years, so naturally I don't want to see anything happen to him."
Zu An was a little confused, but he didn't expect the other party to admit this frankly. Normally, in order to avoid suspicion, shouldn't they pretend that a husband and wife have a harmonious relationship?
Banishing these thoughts from his mind, he then asked: "By the way, is Gong Pan loyal to his wife?"
"They are all old people from the Duke's Palace. If something happens and they have no place to go, I have the obligation to accept them. I will not force them to stay whenever they want to leave, so there is no such thing as loyalty or disloyalty. I am not that strict.
What people who strictly control their subordinates think is their business." Yu Yanluo answered ambiguously, and soon a trace of doubt appeared on her brows, "Why do you ask this so suddenly? Is there something wrong with him?
"
Zu An didn't want to alarm the snake, and said with a smile: "That's not really true. The main reason is that although Yunzhong County seems to be calm now, it always feels a little turbulent. I am worried that something will happen to Madam, so I asked a few more questions."
"You do care about me." Yu Yanluo smiled sweetly, and the whole winter seemed to be brighter and brighter.
The two chatted casually for a while, and Zu An stood up to leave after thinking about the mission of this trip.
Yu Yanluo was a little surprised. Those men had finally met her once, and none of them wanted to stay a little longer and talk to her. But this guy turned out to be nice. Every time she got interested in the conversation, he took the initiative to leave.
"Is it a trick of playing hard to get?" Yu Yanluo frowned slightly, but when she saw the pure and innocent eyes of the other party, she laughed dumbly. She had really become too sensitive after being harassed by men for many years.
With her temperament, of course she would not continue to pester the man to chat more, so she asked Xingnu to see him off.
Not far out of the room, Zu An bowed his hand to Xing Nu: "Sister Xing Nu, I want to meet General Gong Pan Gong, is it convenient?"
Star Slave laughed so hard that his branches trembled: "You have a sweet mouth. No wonder Madam likes you so much. Please wait here while I send someone to invite General Gong to come over."
The other party is a distinguished guest of Madam Jade, and Gong Pan is not a sensitive person like a concubine, so there is no need to stop him.
After saying that, he led Zu An to a side hall to rest, and then called a girl to find Gong Pan.
Then they sat opposite him and started chatting: "How do you know the young master and the madam? I have never met the young master before."
"We met once in Mingyue City." Zu An was a little surprised. This maid was obviously a bit brave. Her fiery eyes scanned her up and down, as if she was looking at a duck.
"Mingyue City, Madam seemed to be in danger and was rescued by a young master. It turned out to be you."
No foreigners are seen."
Zu An smiled: "How many years has Sister Xingnu been with Madam?"
"Oh, I don't deserve to be my sister's slave." Even though she said this, Xing Slave still laughed so hard, "My slave has been with Madam since she was a child. It's been so long that I can't even remember her."
Zu Anxin thought that he was really a loyal confidant of Yu Yanluo.
At this time, Xing Nu asked him various questions:
"Has the young master ever been married?"
"Is there anyone you like?"
…
Zu An looked strange: "What, are you planning to introduce it to me?"
Xing Nu smiled and shook his head: "Oh, let's forget it. How can an ordinary woman be worthy of a man like the young master? If the madam is not married, I can introduce him to you, but unfortunately it is not possible now."
Zu An was a little surprised. This maid must be too courageous to dare to arrange her master like this in private.
But this shows that Yuyanluo must be very generous to her subordinates on weekdays, so they can be like this.
The two of them were chatting and Gong Pan had already arrived. Xing Nu bowed and said, "I won't disturb you two."
After saying that, he resigned and went back.
"So it's Mr. Zu. I wonder what you want to see me for this time." Gong Pan raised his hand to him.
Zu An also returned the greeting: "Didn't I ask you last time about the whereabouts of the guards of Yunzhong County? I checked and found that several of them died in the line of duty, so I wanted to come over and ask them what they were checking at that time. case, and take a look at their respective belongings and so on."
Worrying about alerting others, he did not directly ask Shen Zhou alone, but hid it among the six people.
The person behind it had put so much effort into creating a fake corpse, and obviously didn't expect to find the target so quickly.
"Oh, is there any problem with the death of those people?" Gong Pan asked curiously.
"It's just a routine investigation," Zu An replied without changing his expression. "You also know that we came to Yunzhong County to appoint a new county magistrate, and before that, we also had to investigate the relationship of the previous county magistrate as usual. matters."
"That's it," Gong Pan said relieved, "Hey, those brothers also died miserably..."
Then he briefly recounted the cases those six investigated during their lifetimes.
Zu An mainly paid attention to Shen Zhou's case. It was said that he was investigating the smuggling case of the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce. However, it was later discovered that it was just a misunderstanding. It was another group of smugglers who pretended to bribe a warehouse manager under the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce...
Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in Yunzhong County. It transports goods from all over the world to Yunzhong County for sale. At the same time, it also collects various specialties from the northwest in Yunzhong County and sends them to the whole country.
Zu Anxin thought that Shen Zhou should have gone to Beijing to report the news. The investigation of Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce was probably just a cover. He was more concerned about the other party's relics.
"Where are the relics of those soldiers? I heard that Lord Gong brought them back?" Zu An found an opportunity and looked at him with a smile.
Gong Pan's expression changed slightly, but he quickly replied: "As a rule, the belongings of brothers who died in the line of duty are collected and archived. After all, the case has not been solved yet."
Zu An frowned: "Do those things still exist in the Governor's Mansion?"
"That's not true. They are still in the Jade Mansion now, and I haven't had time to hand it over yet." Gong Pan replied, "If Master Zu wants to see it, please come with me."
Noticing the suspicious look on the other side, he explained: "To be honest with you, Mr. Zu, I actually wanted to see if I could find any clues to avenge these dead brothers. As you know, they were all the personal bodyguards of the county prince before. If something happens to the official, they will be sent to other departments to do these errands."
"Everyone knows that they are the people of the previous leader and will not be welcomed by the new governor, so no one will really try their best to investigate their cases, so I thought of investigating them myself."
"Oh?" Zu An was a little surprised, "Then I wonder if General Gong found anything?"
