Liu Yunxiang frowned. Who was she looking for?

who?

Could it be...

Liu Yunxiang covered her mouth and her eyes trembled.

The next day, the two dressed up as couples doing small business and entered the city. The city gate was strictly guarded, and everyone entering the city was strictly inspected.

Because Beijin is located in the north of the Central Plains continent, there are more cold months in the year, it is not suitable for crop growth. However, Yuzhou City is located south, has a relatively warm climate, and fertile land, so it is important for Beijin.

, it is also the largest grain producing area.

The food and grass on the western border depend on Yuzhou, and the southern border also depend on Yuzhou. Therefore, Yuzhou has become a place for military strategists to compete for.

In Yuzhou City, there are many pavilions and shops, and the streets are sold to come and go, and it is very prosperous and lively along the way.

The governor of Yuzhou is Han Lin's son-in-law, which is equivalent to the fat piece of Yuzhou being controlled by him.

Liu Yunxiang noticed something and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but the King of England grabbed her.

"Someone follows us."

Liu Yunxiang came to a stall selling rouge powder, picked up a box of rouge and looked at it secretly.

A few beggars!

She looked at King Ying in confusion. King Ying frowned, and seemed to be unable to guess the other party's identity.

"In theory, we have already left Han Zhao away."

Yan Mu would hold Han Zhao back and give him time to collect evidence of crime, which would not be so fast.

The two continued to move forward, and the beggars quietly drowned in the crowd, but did not follow them all the time.

There were twelve people who went to Beijing to file a lawsuit with the emperor. Except for the scholar, the rest were killed.

"Let's verify the identities of these eleven victims first."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Okay."

According to the scholar's confession, the two of them went all the way to the first house, and the one who opened the door for them was the old woman.

The old woman was very thin because she had been working all year round and had her waist bent. She was supporting the door and looking at them.

"Who are you looking for?"

The old woman's voice was hoarse and she spoke weakly.

"Is this Li Hong'an's family?" Leng Yuxian asked.

The old woman's expression froze, as if she was afraid that they would see something, so she quickly lowered her head, "Yes..."

"We are Jin An who came to investigate the case of Li Hong'an suing the Yuzhou governor for taking empty wages. Can you tell us what you know in detail?"

"My son is dead..."

"Yes, we are here to investigate the truth."

"What is the truth, what is the salary of nothing? My son died of illness and died at home!"

"Diet at home?"

"Yes, I'm now in the ancestral tomb. I don't know anything you said. Let's go quickly and don't delay my work!"

"Then do you know Zhang Heng?"

Zhang Heng is that scholar.

"I don't know you! I haven't heard of it!"

The old woman looked irritated and drove them out, then closed the door.

Leng Yuxian breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Liu Yunxiang and said, "It seems that Xie Shengmao has sealed their mouths."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Let's go and ask other homes."

"Um."

The two of them left six houses until dark, and their words were the same as the first one, without asking a single useful question.

They came out of the alley and found someone following them.

"It should be Xie Shengmao's person."

Since Xie Shengmao had already made arrangements, he naturally received the news from their entry into the first house.

"Master, okay, okay, give us some copper coins to have a full meal!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

"We haven't had a meal for several days!"

"Get out of here!"

Liu Yunxiang turned around and saw that the person who was following them was entangled by several beggars. He looked at Leng Yuxian and the two quickly took the opportunity to slip away.

The two of them did not stay in the inn, so they found a dilapidated temple and planned to make do with one night.

Leng Yuxian set off a fire, and Liu Yunxiang took out the cake to bake.

When Liu Yunxiang saw Leng Yuxian sitting cross-legged by the fire, she was frowning, looking like she was struggling and couldn't figure it out.

"We will ask the remaining ones tomorrow? If we ask them all, but still can't ask anything, what should we do next?"

Leng Yuxian snorted coldly: "No matter how capable Xie Shengmao is, it is impossible for such a big case to be airtight and not leak, but we don't have much time."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "Maybe we shouldn't ask these companies, we should look for other breakthroughs."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard something in the dilapidated temple, so she quickly got up and hid behind Leng Yuxian.

Leng Yuxian grabbed the hilt of the sword and shouted inside: "Who is inside? Come out!"

“Wow!”

The response to Leng Yuxian was the child's crying, and then a ragged woman came out from it, holding a little girl three or four years old in her arms.

The woman looked scared and hugged her body while holding the child.

Seeing this, Leng Yuxian put away his sword.

Liu Yunxiang took two steps forward and said gently: "We don't know that there are still people here, and I'm sorry. We don't have a place to stay here at the moment, can we stay here for a night?"

The woman looked up and glanced at Liu Yunxiang, then looked at the cake that was being baked in her hand.

At this time, the child in her arms also shouted: "Mom, I'm hungry! I want to eat cake!"

It turned out that it was because of the fragrance of the scones, otherwise the mother and daughter would not show up!

"Uh, do you eat cake?"

The woman was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before nodding slowly.

"Sit down next to the fire together, the cake has to be roasted."

The woman looked at Leng Yuxian with a little cowardly, and saw her fear. Liu Yunxiang hurriedly said, "This is my husband, we are all good people."

Perhaps because he saw Liu Yunxiang’s face was kind, the woman took her children to sit down by the fire.

Liu Yunxiang first baked two cakes and distributed them to the woman and her daughter. The mother and daughter immediately started eating them voraciously.

Leng Yuye took a few steps back and sat down in front of a wooden pillar in the ruined temple.

Liu Yunxiang roasted another pancake and asked in a low voice when he handed it to him: "Your Highness, are you so far from the fire, aren't you afraid of the cold?"

Leng Yuxian frowned, "Not cold."

"It's not because we are all women, you feel uncomfortable?"

“It’s so much nonsense!”

Liu Yunxiang smiled and sat back. Seeing that the mother and daughter had quickly finished the cakes in their hands. It seemed that they had not eaten enough, she baked two more for them.

"Sister, are you a native of Yuzhou?"

The woman nodded, "Yes."

"Sister, don't blame me for being abrupt. Why have you and your children fallen to this point?"

The woman silent for a while and whispered: "The family is suffering from disaster."

"So, what about your other family members?"

"Dead."

Seeing that the woman didn't seem to want to talk about this, Liu Yunxiang stopped asking and gave them the baked cakes.

Liu Yunxiang fell asleep next to the fire. When she was sleeping soundly, she was suddenly awakened by a burst of crying. She rubbed her eyes open, sat up, and saw the little girl sitting next to the fire crying.

She looked around but didn't see the woman, then turned to look at Leng Yuxian, and he opened his eyes at this time.

"Hey, where is that big sister?"

Leng Yuxian frowned, "It's not that he left."

"How could it be that she didn't take the kids."

Liu Yunxiang sat over, carried the little girl into her arms, and coaxed her and said, "Don't cry, your mother will be back soon, I'll wait with you."

But after waiting for dawn, the woman still didn't come back.
