After passing through two states and three counties, the governor's team finally arrived at the main city of Yunzhou - Baidi City.

There is a historical allusion to the origin of the name of Baidi City, which happened in the previous dynasty. About 1,300 years ago, there was a severe drought in Yunzhou and the red land was thousands of miles away.

The people had no income and no livelihood.

This year, a strange beast came from overseas. Its body was like a deer, covered with snow-white scales, with a pair of horns, horse hooves and a snake tail.

Wherever it passed, there were dark clouds and heavy rains. This beast toured Yunzhou for more than a month, filling reservoirs all over Yunzhou, nourishing dry rivers and lakes, and solving the drought in Yunzhou.

The imperial court considered it an auspicious beast and named it the White Emperor.

Xu Qian looked at the majestic outline of Baidi City and asked with a smile: "Is this legend true or false?"

Lifting up the curtain and looking at Baidi City in the distance, Governor Zhang nodded as he mentioned this allusion:

"It should be true, otherwise it would not be recorded in history books. Severe droughts and floods are common occurrences, and historians will not make up history for this. However, since then, no one has seen the auspicious beast White Emperor."

They are obviously overseas monsters, or even sea monsters. Maybe they came to Kyushu just for tourism. Seeing the severe drought in Yunzhou, I felt unhappy, so I took action to change the environment... Xu Qian said while "analyzing from a scientific perspective":

"Best regards, my lord."

After saying that, he continued to look at the city wall, and a poem came to his mind: Chao Ci Bai Emperor among the colorful clouds, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are returned in one day, the apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, the light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains.

"Repaying a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day... is such a luxury. If it were me, I would have to pay it back today, tomorrow, and the day after January 31st." Xu Qianxin said.

He couldn't help but think of the travel advertisements he had seen before, which encouraged senior white-collar workers to fly directly to Thailand after get off work on Friday, have a romantic day, and return home on Sunday.

Everyone is a modern Li Taibai.

The gatekeepers of Baidi City stopped everyone, and after reading the documents issued by the court, they respectfully let them go.

After entering the city, Xu Qi'an looked around and saw many passers-by with swords hanging in their hands among the bustling crowds.

Dafeng has very strict control over weapons. From the state capital to the counties, no one is allowed to carry a sword while walking in the city. Unless they are in special professions, such as bodyguards.

But even a bodyguard can only be equipped with weapons when going on a mission.

"Is this a Yunzhou characteristic?" Xu Qian muttered inwardly.

At this time, Governor Zhang raised the curtain again and said to Xu Qian: "Ning Yan, please send these merchants home. Don't return the goods yet. Let the merchants get the account books and come to the inn tomorrow to check and collect the goods."

Xu Qian's heart moved, "What about Zhao Long's goods?"

Governor Zhang said: "Of course it will be sent back to others. If Zhao Long and the escort were all killed, the escort's family must be compensated. Now that Zhao Long is dead, sending the goods back can be regarded as making up for their losses."

Xu Qian gave a thumbs up: "Sir, what a good eel."

Governor Zhang frowned when he heard this: "Why do you say this?"

"Nothing, nothing." Xu Qian turned to Song Tingfeng, told him what was going on, and told him to do it.

"Why should I be asked to run errands?" Song Tingfeng was unconvinced: "As if I am your subordinate, we are obviously on the same level."

Xu Qian turned around and shouted: "Sir Governor, Song Tingfeng is trying to push back and deduct money from him."

Song Tingfeng said hurriedly: "I'll go, I'll go."

He turned around and went to Zhu Guangxiao, informed him of the matter and ordered him to do it.

Zhu Guangxiao said depressedly: "Didn't Ning Yan ask you to do it?"

Song Tingfeng said: "Xu Ning is having a banquet, and Zhu Guangxiao is trying to pass the buck."

"..." Zhu Guangxiao turned his horse's head without saying a word, called a few tiger guards, and went to do something.

The two bitches got together and said with emotion:

"Hirotaka is really an honest man who works hard."

"Yeah, yeah, whether it's in bed or on business."

.....

They are all in command of the envoys.

Yang Chuannan is in his early forties. He is a peaceful scholar. He also has an identity as a fifth-grade warrior.

Yang Chuannan was born in a family of military generals and was very talented. He liked to practice martial arts and even read. In the 12th year of Yuanjing, he became a Jinshi. Because of his family's academic background and his familiarity with military books, he found a job in the Ministry of War.

Yuan Jing was assigned to Yunzhou in the 16th year. Due to his achievements in suppressing bandits, he was gradually promoted to the position of commander and envoy. He became one of the three most powerful people in Yunzhou.

Yang Chuannan, who was sitting in the hall attending to official duties, suddenly raised his head. A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps was heard, and a woman wearing light armor strode towards him. There were no officials blocking her along the way.

She is tall and slender, with a sword hanging from her waist and a silver gun on her back. She has a pointed face with oval seeds, and her facial features are obviously delicate and beautiful, but she is not weak, but rather heroic.

In addition, she wore a high long ponytail, revealing a smooth and beautiful forehead.

"The governor has entered the city." Her first words after entering the door were straight to the core of the problem, crisp and clear.

Yang Chuannan's expression paused, and he nodded slightly, "I understand."

"Emperor Yuan Jing, who suffered thousands of blows, cultivated immortality all day long. It is simply wishful thinking that a human emperor would live forever." She opened her mouth and said: "@#@#*...."

"Miaozhen!" Yang Chuannan frowned.

Li Miaozhen sneered, "I don't eat royal food."

She leaned the silver gun against the wall, sat cross-legged on the coffee table in the reception area, took off her sword, placed it across her knees, and asked:

"If the governor is here, you have to hand over your military power. This is Dafeng's rule. What are you going to do?"

"Since it's a rule, of course we can only follow it." Yang Chuanan said.

Li Miaozhen nodded: "I will help you."

Yang Chuannan glanced at her and shook his head helplessly: "There are so many people in the world willing to serve you. It is not unjust. Feiyan Heroine, I accept your favor, but please be careful. There are gold gongs in the accompanying team, and they are dignified and fourth grade.

, when you step out of the world, you will be a hero."

Li Miaozhen didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of? If you don't reach the third level, you won't be able to defeat the human sea tactics."

....

"The food in Yunzhou is a bit numb and spicy, and they also like to add spices. I don't like the dishes here... If I eat spicy food often, won't I get hemorrhoids?"

In the inn, Xu Qian was complaining in his heart while eating hot food.

The lobby was filled with watchmen and tiger guards. There were eight people sitting at a table, which was barely enough to accommodate them.

There are four post stations in Baidi City, and this one is the largest. It has a courtyard and two three-story buildings next to each other. There is one post official and seven post soldiers.

For safety reasons, Yang Yingying had to stay at the post station. She sat at a table by herself and quietly lowered her head to eat.

The young woman's figure is plump and attractive. When she sits, her dress clings to her buttocks, outlining her plump curves.

Xu Qian found Song Tingfeng staring at his butt, so he kicked him under the table: "What are you looking at?"

After scolding him, he also looked at it a few times.

"Look what's going on, everyone else is watching." Song Tingfeng whispered.

Men are like this. When they see a beautiful woman, they will always take a few more glances unconsciously and cannot control their gaze. Unless his wife is right next to him, he can only hold it back with great perseverance.

"Don't watch it anymore, it will save you the pain." Song Tingfeng muttered.

Just now, Governor Zhang has issued an order that during the Yunzhou period, no one is allowed to go to Jiaofangsi or leave the inn, unless there is a mission.

Xu Qian raised his hand and shook it hard.

"What for?" Song Tingfeng asked blankly.

"This is called the Grasp of Immortality. You can learn it in private."

After dinner, Governor Zhang invited Xu Qian and Jiang Luzhong to discuss matters in the room. The governor, who was a censor, looked at the two experienced Jin Luo and said:

"Yunzhou has canceled its knife ban because of banditry. Therefore, compared to the day, it is safer at night because the curfew is particularly strict.

"Jiang Jinluo needs to protect me at all times. The investigation of the case will be left to Ning Yan for the time being. You can dispatch the good guard Hu Ben at the station as you please."

....Okay, he has really become a tool. Xu Qian looked at Governor Zhang and said nothing.

The governor explained: "In the first few days, I have to socialize with many people. I also need to get a feel for the officialdom of Yunzhou."

Okay...Xu Qian accepted this reason: "I understand, I just do my best in my humble position."

Governor Zhang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "How do you plan to start the case?"

"First go to the government office to ask for Zhou Min's posthumous belongings, and then go to his home to have a look." Xu Qian said.

"No need to dig a grave and conduct an autopsy?" Governor Zhang frowned.

"Just wait for the adults to ask this," Xu Qian laughed: "The person has been dead for more than half a month, the rotten skin is swollen and can be broken with a poke, and the smelly corpse water can be drunk to the full."

Jiang Lvzhong, who had just finished his meal, turned pale, while Governor Zhang retched.

"Then I will resign from my humble position." Xu Qian slipped away.

After leaving the room and going downstairs, he summoned four Tong Luo including Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao, a familiar Yin Luo, and six Tiger Guards, and rode horses to the government office.

Zhou Min is a well-established court official. Whenever a court official dies, the government office is responsible for conducting an autopsy to confirm the cause of death. For officials like Zhou Min whose family members are not in the local area, the government office is also responsible for keeping his belongings until the family of the deceased or the court comes to pick them up.

.

Xu Qi'an controlled the speed of his horse and occasionally glanced at the map of Baidi City given by the postman. After searching for nearly an hour, he finally saw the gate of the government office.
