Liang Ji and Qin Yuan traveled through wind and snow. Fortunately, the road to Jingzhou was very wide, and Jingzhou was not far from Shangjing, separated by several mountain roads. Liang Ji was very good at horseback riding, and he often took this kind of road.

A veteran, Qin Yuandao followed Liang Ji in the wind and snow, with the slips and paper and ink he just got from Dali Temple stuffed in his arms, and soon arrived at Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou City was also immersed in the joy of New Year's Eve. The wind and snow here seemed to be gentler than those in Shangjing. When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao coming from a distance, they hurriedly stopped them: "

Who is coming? There is a strict ban on New Year's Eve in the city. You need to get off your horse and accept the inspection!"

Liang Ji took off his helmet, shook his hair, and then wiped all the hair on his face that was stuck by the wind and snow to the back of his head. He looked at the group of young generals who stopped them and said, "I am Major General Jianwei Liang Ji. This is

This is Mr. Qin, the Minister of Civil Affairs! I will come to Jingzhou City to investigate the case and open the gate quickly to let him go!"

The two young generals also saw General Liang Ji coming down to the state capital to inspect their security this morning, but they saw him again only two or three hours later.

The young general saw Liang Ji's face after taking off his helmet, and after confirming that the person in front of him was Major General Liang Ji, he skipped the step of searching himself and quickly opened the gate. Liang Ji turned around and nodded to Qin Yuandao, and the two rode again.

He whipped up his whip and rushed straight into Jingzhou City.

Qin Yuandao has a good memory, so he naturally remembers Yin Qianhu's home address. Besides, he has been to Jingzhou many times and is familiar with some towns.

Liang Ji turned slightly to the side and let Qin Yuandao run to the front to lead the way, and he followed closely behind.

At this time, they feel that they are getting closer and closer to the truth.

It is still snowing heavily in Jingzhou City, and it is lunch time. Every household is full of joy, and the family members gather around, light the stove in the house, and gather around the table to have a reunion dinner.

The adults were laughing and talking about this year's interesting events. Many men talked about General Liang's expedition this year, and used the rumors they had heard from hearsay to make everyone happy. There was a hint of admiration in their expressions.

The children never want to eat quietly at the table. My mother is always more tolerant during the Chinese New Year and lets them run around and make trouble. They stuff their little pockets with candy cubes and melon seeds.

My son, standing under the eaves of the door, watching the heavy snow and applauding, many naughty boys would secretly set off firecrackers, and for a while the yard was filled with their laughter.

This is what the Chinese New Year should be like.

But this year, Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao didn't have time to enjoy these. They usually spend New Year's Eve in the palace, but who would have thought that something like this happened today. If the truth cannot be found out, I am afraid that the people involved will not be able to enjoy the New Year in peace.

.

However, the main culprits, Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling, are getting away with it and have not touched their bodies.

Yin Qianhu's house is not far from the city gate. Now that he is no longer a court official, naturally he cannot go to the government office to attend the banquet. When Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji first arrived at the gate of Yin's house, red lanterns were hung at the door and new signs were posted.

Spring Festival couplets. Come to think of it, he didn't know what happened in Shangjing, let alone the price his daughter paid for it. From a glance, he was living a pretty good life.

"This is it." Qin Yuandao tied the horse casually to the door of Yin's house, walked straight to the door, and knocked heavily on the door knocker.

Upon seeing this, Liang Ji hurried forward and stood behind Qin Yuandao.

Although Yin Qianhu was demoted and returned home, it seems that his life in Jingzhou is much more comfortable than in Beijing. The governor of Jingzhou did not make things difficult for him. Yin Qianhu also bought a house and land and hired many servants to serve him.

, I think this was all arranged by Lu Gaohong.

Qin Yuandao knocked for a long time, and an old slave hurriedly came over and opened the door. He had never seen Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao before, but he saw the two men trying to rush in with serious faces. He quickly blocked the door and said: "You are

Who is it?!"

"Get out of the way! We want to see Yin Qianhu!" Qin Yuandao frowned and was about to rush inside.

With that said, the old slave shouted loudly behind him: "Some people come quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several strong young men rushed out from the concierge, showing off to Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji with muscles all over their bodies.

The old slave seemed to be the housekeeper hired by Yin Qianhu. Seeing that there was someone behind him, he put his hands on his hips and said to Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji, "Who are you?! Why do you want to see my master?"

Qin Yuandao and Liang Ji didn't want to talk to him too much. They didn't come here to ask for Yin Qianhu's help. They came to ask questions themselves, so they didn't need to be too polite.

Qin Yuandao took two steps back, and Liang Ji naturally understood what he meant. He went straight forward and beat the strong young men to the ground three times, then stepped on the butler's chest and asked sternly: "Yin

Where is the thief!"

The old housekeeper was also a tough guy. When he saw that Liang Ji was so good at it, he knocked those useless men to the ground in just a few seconds and kept moaning on the ground, so he hurriedly said to him

Liang Ji clasped his hands together and begged: "Hero, spare his life, hero, spare his life."

Only then did the old housekeeper see clearly what the two were wearing. One was wearing a purple court dress, with a large golden pheasant flower made of silk on his chest, and a white jade belt inlaid around his waist. His face was solemn;

Wearing gold and red armor and a black cloak behind him, this is the attire of the Liang family army.

This time he saw it clearly, and the old housekeeper knelt down on the ground fearfully: "Sir, spare my life, General, spare my life!"

He naturally knew what happened to his master. After Yin Qianhu was demoted and returned home, he had been bragging about his relationship with Prime Minister Lu. But who didn't know that he owed money for gambling in Beijing? It just looked like he

No one with any discerning knowledge will tell if it really has anything to do with Prime Minister Lu.

Now the adults and generals in the capital are looking for Yin Qianhu. They must have committed something.

Hearing what the old butler said, the young men who were lying on the ground also followed the old butler's example and knelt down at Liang Ji's feet and kowtowed: "General, spare your life! Sir, spare your life!"

Qin Yuandao ignored them, only walked to the old housekeeper, leaned down and held his lapel and said: "Take us to see Yin Qianhu!"

The old housekeeper kowtowed crazily: "Yes! Yes!"

After saying that, the old butler got up and took Liang Ji and Qin Yuandao around several courtyards and walked to the banquet living room. At this time, Yin Qianhu was having dinner with his family. The old butler said cautiously: "That's it... right here."

Qin Yuandao winked at Liang Ji, who stretched out his legs and kicked the door open. Yin Qianhu and his family were startled, and they quickly stood up and looked at Liang Ji cautiously.

Yin Qianhu also went to Beijing as an official before. Even if he had never seen Liang Ji, he should have seen this official uniform. He pointed at Liang Ji, and his hand trembled for a few times, then slowly put it down, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "

This...haha...General Liang is coming here, and the common people are disappointed to welcome him from afar, but I hope you will forgive me."

Qin Yuandao walked out from behind Liang Ji with a dark face. Yin Qianhu broke out in cold sweat and stared at Qin Yuandao with wide eyes in astonishment. He knelt down and said politely, "Master Qin!"
