I'm afraid it's not that the emperor didn't find out the murderer, but that he knew who did it, and it's hard to punish him. The people he killed were just silenced.

Shangguan Ruoli looked at Shangguan Lin and said with a smile, "Is he Prince Shun?"

Shangguan Lin's eyes flashed slightly, acquiescing, and sighed: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, it's better to go out and practice."

As he said that, he took out a small flat box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Dongming Ziyu, "This is from the emperor for you. It contains a secret edict, a gold medal, and a secret message to the prefect of Dianzhou."

Dongming Ziyu took the box with both hands, opened it and looked at it.

Shangguan Lin continued: "The emperor said that the magistrate of Dianzhou belongs to him, and if you have any problems, you can go to him directly. However, everyone has selfish motives, and many times in the officialdom, you can't help yourself. The magistrate of Dianzhou has been an official for many years, so you can

Don’t believe everything, it’s better to keep an eye on it.”

Dongming Ziyu said respectfully: "My son-in-law would like to follow my father-in-law's teachings."

Shangguan Lin said: "There are many ethnic groups in Dianzhou, and each ethnic group has its own language. They are also very repulsive to Han people, making communication difficult. I know a person who understands Dianzhou dialect and Nanman dialect. He was once the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

But he was implicated and was dismissed from office and returned home.

You can take a detour and ask him to help you. He is very familiar with the customs and habits of various local ethnic groups and is also familiar with things in the yamen. But you are frustrated. It depends on you whether you can ask him to come out. I have a letter.

One letter, please take it with you."

With that said, he took out a letter and handed it to Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu took the letter with both hands and thanked him again: "Thank you father-in-law for your support. My son-in-law will sincerely ask him to help."

Shangguan Lin reminded: "He likes tea."

Dongming Ziyu smiled and said, "My son-in-law understands."

Weng and his son-in-law discussed the situation in Dianzhou again. Dongming Ziyu discovered that Shangguan Lin was an imperial doctor who knew very well about officialdom and local situations. He was indeed an imperial doctor who could be trusted by the emperor, and he was very knowledgeable.

Mrs. Gu pulled Shangguan Ruoli and wiped her tears, "How long has it been since we were reunited with our flesh and blood, and you are forced to go so far away! You might as well be in Liulin County. After all, it is Jiangnan, the most prosperous and beautiful place.

.

What kind of place is Dianzhou? Mosquitoes, venomous snakes are all over the mountains and fields, and it is hot and rainy all year round. People from the north often get rheumatism when they go there! There are deep mountains and old forests everywhere, and there is no land for growing food! The people are also barbaric, ignorant of etiquette, and hostile to the Han people..."

She talked nonchalantly, the more she thought about her daughter, the more miserable she became, and her tears flowed as if they were free. She had never shed tears like this since she found Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli patted her back and comforted her softly: "Mom, don't worry, we are not afraid of hardship. Besides, didn't the emperor give you a secret decree and a token? We can't suffer any loss."

Mrs. Gu wiped her tears and whispered: "I thought about not letting you follow me to Dianzhou, but your father disagreed and said that I have no one to take care of me, so you must follow me. Alas! It's the same reason.

The husband is more important."

Shangguan Ruoli knew what she meant and said with a smile: "Your son-in-law said that life is short, and while you are pursuing your future, you cannot make the people around you miserable. The couple are so far apart, how can they live together forever?"

Mrs. Gu nodded with satisfaction and a smile appeared on her lips, "He is good."

If he was such a cruel person and made her little daughter feel wronged, she would have reconciled the two of them long ago and found a suitable match for her daughter!

He went to take office after the New Year, so he had enough time to prepare. Dongming Ziyu asked Shuanzhu to take Xie Rucheng and Zhou Xian to go ahead and inquire about prices and news along the way.
