Miss Jun asked as she looked at Zhu Zan walking out of the inn.
"No news." Zhu Zan said.
"No news is good news." Miss Jun said.
"That's not right." Zhu Zan said. After he finished speaking, he looked up at her and smiled, "But sometimes it is right, and what you said is right."
Miss Jun looked at him.
"You can say whatever you want, why are you duplicity?" she said, "just because I am Chu Jiuling? Do you look down on people so much?"
here we go again...
Zhu Zan reached out and pressed his forehead.
"That's not what I meant," he said.
"Aren't you?" Miss Jun raised her eyebrows and said, "If I were still Jun Jiuling, would you say this?"
Of course not, he would happily miss the opportunity to mock her. Zhu Zan covered his eyes with his hand on his forehead and did not dare to say another word.
Miss Jun flicked her riding crop to urge the horse to gallop forward. Not long after, Zhu Zan came up behind her. She saw his dejected look out of the corner of her eye and felt inexplicably happy.
"You think things are bad, why are they bad?" She turned around and asked.
As long as he gets angry because of nothing one moment, everything will be fine the next. Zhu Zan looked at her quite helplessly, but of course he would not cause trouble again.
"I think it's too peaceful over there." He said seriously, "You must know that the person in charge there now is Uncle Qinghe."
She really didn't know much about Qinghe Bo. During the years when her father was alive, Qinghe Bo was almost forgotten by the court. She only knew that he had a bad reputation.
"That is a villain." Zhu Zan said, "It is undeniable that he is brave and good at fighting, but because of his bravery and good fighting skills, he later became more arrogant and greedy for money. Those censors often said that my father was very happy with his achievements. In fact, he was really very happy with his achievements.
It’s Uncle Qinghe.”
Miss Jun nodded.
"I have heard about it," she said. "I heard my father mention it, so I have always opposed his appointment."
Zhu Zan said oh.
"He always thought that my father had taken the credit from him." He said, "This time I finally have the opportunity to take over Northland. Do you think he will be willing to let it go?"
This is indeed a problem, and Miss Jun was silent for a moment, especially since the emperor was obviously not happy with Duke Cheng.
What is good at the top must be good at the bottom.
"Do you suspect that news from the North has been blocked?" she asked.
Along the way, Miss Jun also knew that Zhu Zan would get news from various places from the inn, which was originally built by selling the mileage map of Beijing.
Zhu Zan nodded.
"At least it is not as credible as before." He said, "One emperor and one courtier are the same everywhere."
Duke Cheng Guo left the Northland without a scheduled return date. When Qinghe Bo settled in the Northland, he would definitely take the opportunity to clear out Duke Cheng Guo's men.
Miss Jun was silent for a moment.
"Let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible," she said, urging her horse again.
She had not had a good rest for almost six or seven consecutive days. Zhu Zan looked at her haggard face. Although she was anxious to return to the capital, she was even more anxious that he would leave the capital for fear of delaying Duke Cheng.
Except for the inexplicable tantrums, she is excellent, Zhu Zan thought to himself, and couldn't help but pinch his fingers and laugh.
"What are you thinking about? You're smiling so weirdly." Miss Jun said angrily.
Here we go again! Zhu Zan was so excited.
"Nothing." He said quickly.
"Nothing? Why haven't I seen you smiling like this before?" Miss Jun said with a raised eyebrow.
Zhu Zan wanted to cry but had no tears. Yes, he really regretted it. Why was he so stupid before?
Miss Jun ignored him and hummed again, urging the horse to gallop forward.
It couldn't be like this anymore. It would go on like this forever. Zhu Zan gritted his teeth and chased after him.
"You can't do this anymore." He stopped Miss Jun on horseback and said solemnly, "It's wrong for you to do this."
"What am I like?" Miss Jun said, "I've always been like this, what's wrong?"
"You can't feel sorry for your past just because I treat you well now. Aren't you just feeling jealous of yourself?" Zhu Zan said after plastic surgery.
As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Jealous?
Are you jealous?
So it turns out that the reason for the strangeness these days is because of jealousy?
Under what circumstances does a person become jealous?
Of course...
Zhu Zan felt like a pot of hot oil had been poured on his body, and his whole body turned red.
Was it because he was jealous?
"Really? Are you..." he stammered.
Miss Jun's face also turned red, and her eyes widened.
"No," she said, "What are you talking about? It's really inexplicable."
After saying that, he flicked his whip and urged the horse to go around.
"You are always inexplicable." She added again.
Zhu Zan's whole body was steaming with heat, and the wind brought by the horse galloping by gave him a little coolness.
"No." he said.
It's not out of nowhere, nor is it a random thought, no.
He turned his horse's head and looked at the person in front of him, galloping after him.
The late autumn wilderness became noisy with the chaotic stirring of horse hooves.
........
........
At this time, the atmosphere in the small town of Anguo, Qizhou, was also a bit tense, because a team of uniformed guards were walking through the streets.
The people on the street held their breath and looked horrified as they watched the group of people rushing towards the government office.
"Who committed the crime?"
"I haven't heard of it."
"Has nothing happened recently?"
"Yes, it seems that a soldier ate two sheep from a fellow villager."
"What's this?"
People on the street were talking in low voices.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
In the cell of Anguo Mansion, Zhang Zhicheng said without caring.
"This sheep has come to us, and it belongs to us."
Superintendent Li stood outside the cell door and stared angrily.
"You still don't know you're wrong?" he shouted in a low voice, "Are you still reasonable?"
"Of course I am justified. Sir, do you think this is a big deal? Isn't it just eating two dead sheep?" Zhang Zhicheng also glared, "I will be punished for eating our fellow countrymen, and I think I should be punished for eating the Jinren's.
I award."
Li Dujian pouted.
"You just wait to die." He scolded angrily, "Do you know that Mr. Jin Lue has to give an explanation to the Jin man. If you are handed over, it is impossible for you to not be punished."
He paced back and forth.
"Just tell the truth. It's about those two villagers."
Zhang Zhicheng jumped up.
"What does it have to do with those two villagers?" he said. "The sheep were killed by dogs, and I ate the meat. If you want to give an explanation, send me and the dogs to explain."
As he spoke, he sighed again.
"When the time comes, let everyone know that I, Zhang Tietou, did not die because of killing the Jin man, but because I died after eating the Jin man's sheep. This will be regarded as leaving my name in history."
Li Dujian glared at him fiercely with an angry face, and said what he was going to say when the soldiers outside the door came in.
"Master Li, Master Kuang is back and wants to see you," he said.
Master Kuang was the official sent by Master Jinglue to take charge of this matter. He caught Zhang Zhicheng eating sheep and went back to report it. At this time, he came back under orders.
"Be more honest with me." Director Li glared at Zhang Zhicheng and hurried out.
Lord Kuang is already sitting in the official hall, where are also the guards in royal robes.
Li Dujian's heart skipped a beat when he saw these people.
it turns out...
"Sir." He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, with a humble and respectful expression, "My lords."
The royal guards ignored him.
"Master Li, because I was ordered to investigate, Master Jinglue asked them to come and ask questions." Master Kuang said, pointing to the Jin Yiwei beside him.
Wherever Li Dujian dared to stop him, he would take him in personally, but he was stopped by Lord Kuang.
"They don't like outsiders being present when asking questions," he said.
Supervisor Li could only watch the guards in uniform enter.
"Master Kuang." He hurriedly grabbed Master Kuang and stuffed a money bag into his sleeve.
Lord Kuang was startled.
"What are you doing!" He pushed back quickly.
"This kid Zhang Zhicheng is just a stick and has no heart." Li Dujian said sincerely, "He killed his whole family all the way up here at the hands of the Jin people. He will not have a good look towards the Jin people. This time
If you eat a sheep, please be more patient."
Lord Kuang looked at him and shook his head and sighed.
"We all have hatred of family and country, but we have to follow the rules." He said, "How can we act randomly?"
Li Dujian responded repeatedly.
"Please be patient this time. I promise to punish him well and never let him do it again." He said, stuffing the money bag again, "It's a small respect, a small respect."
Lord Kuang pushed the money bag back and held down Director Li's hand.
"I understand." He said with a warm expression, "You are uneasy, thinking that if Duke Cheng is here, this matter will definitely not matter. Now that you are under the rule of Qinghe Bo, you will inevitably feel uneasy."
Director Li shook his head and denied it quickly.
"Don't worry," Lord Kuang said. "Master Jinglue has already met the Jin people. He told them that the sheep were not found, and asked them to search carefully over there and keep an eye on their own sheep."
It was solved like this? Dujian Li didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before he understood what Mr. Kuang meant, and he was overjoyed.
"You adults are wise." He saluted excitedly.
Lord Kuang snorted.
"The adults above are not stupid. Don't they know who is one of our own and who is an outsider?" He said, "My brothers can make trouble no matter what they want, but they can't lose their status to others."
Director Li was really excited and pleased and thanked him again.
"It's because we are narrow-minded." He said sincerely, "Adults, please rest assured that I will take good care of my subordinates and will never do anything like this again that will cause the adults to be embarrassed."
Lord Kuang also nodded and stuffed the money bag back.
"It's enough if you can do this. It's much better than stuffing money." He said.
With a bit of shame and gratitude, Director Li took the money bag back without hesitation and stood up straight.
"Yes." He saluted respectfully.
At this point, there was a sound of footsteps, and the group of royal guards came out.
"The question has been clarified." The leader said with a cold face, shaking a piece of paper in his hand, "Zhang Tietou admitted that he was instructed by Cheng Guogong Zhu Shan to provoke a dispute with the Jin people.
"
Li Dujian felt like his head was pounding and his ears were buzzing. He seemed to have heard something, but he didn't seem to hear anything at all.
What?
His eyes fell on the paper held by Jin Yiwei. The words written on it could not be seen clearly, and he could only see a bright red handprint.
How come?
"That's it."
Li Du listened to Master Kuang's words, and his voice sounded far and near.
"No wonder he would do such a thing."
What did you do? What happened?
Li Dujian felt flustered and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
"Sir..." He subconsciously reached out and looked at Master Kuang and shouted.
The Jin Yiwei suddenly pointed to the back.
"Oh, yes, and more." He said in a calm voice, "Zhang Tietou can't bear the punishment. He will die after the signature and painting are postponed. You can make arrangements for him."
Dead?
Who died?
Li Dujian turned around blankly and saw two government officials walking out carrying a door panel, with a big man lying on it. It was Zhang Tietou who was jumping around and staring at him in the cell just now.
There were no wounds on his body, and he seemed to be asleep, but his eyes were wide open and his face was livid, twisted and stiff.
Li Doujian felt that his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he staggered backwards. He subconsciously reached forward to grab it.
