The two parties competed secretly, but she was easily captured and revealed all the secrets.
Nor...
At first, Lao Mao pretended not to obey, but after being starved for two meals, he reluctantly confessed, so Lu Anran did not become suspicious.
After Lao Mao made a bunch of true and false lies, and hid some of them, Lu Anran used Jiang Chao's whereabouts to force him, but Lao Mao couldn't tell him that the money model was in his hands.
Now that I think about it carefully, it was not her, Lu Anran, who was trapping her step by step, but the old cat pulling the trap to make her fall down.
If this is the case, there is no money model on the old cat. Now Lu Anran asked Wu Fang to pretend to carry the money model out of the capital. Instead, all eyes were fixed on Wu Fang. Wu Fang went to the southwest, which is the Criminal Division. Become the target of public criticism.
Lu Anran looked into the dark night——
The danger was not given by others, but brought to her door personally.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Anran called Lu Taotao into the night sky. The quirky girl hung upside down from a big tree nearby, made a face and said with a smile: "Little sister, you are not good, you are hiding with your front feet." If the man is at home and follows the weird middle-aged uncle back to his house, I will definitely file a complaint with Yun Dasheng."
Lu Anran walked over, almost leaning against Lu Taotao's inverted face, and said seriously: "Can you catch up with Wu Fang?"
Lu Taotao folded his arms and grumbled: "Why should I chase her? I don't like women, and I'm still a piece of ice."
"Stop Wu Fang and let her return to the capital."
"Don't think about it." Lu Taotao twisted her legs and landed lightly from the treetop. "Although I don't want to admit it, her kung fu is better than mine, and her equestrian skills... are also slightly better than mine."
Lu Taotao made a little gap between her index finger and thumb, "And she ran for more than an hour, unless her horse's leg was broken."
Lu Anran's heart sank. She knew it was impossible but still insisted on confirming it. This was the second time she had been stupid tonight.
"What's wrong? You also want to go to the southwest." Lu Taotao shook his head, and the bell on the red rope of his bun jingled twice. He flattened his mouth and muttered to himself: "A poor and broken place. You might even meet someone you hate.”
Lu Anran didn't pay attention to what she said. He looked up at the endless black screen and didn't know what he was thinking.

A hundred miles away from the royal capital, there was a horse riding ahead on the official road, like a whirlwind blowing by, causing the branches on both sides to rustle.
Suddenly, the man on the horse tightened the reins, raised the horse's front hooves high, turned around, his faceless and expressionless face was cold and cold, and his eyes were like sharp swords, shooting out a cold light.

Southwest Ping County
"Your Majesty, no one is here." Guanyue came to Yunqi and reported.
Yun Qi looked away from the map posted on the wall of the study, turned around and sat on the chair, sighing: "These people are very cunning."
On the way here, Yun Qi planned to let Guanyue use fake banknotes to explore the bottom first, but it turned out that someone had already been a step ahead of them and bought all kinds of things. They put a sack on each one and saw that they were all fake banknotes.
Nowadays, merchants in Pingxian County and nearby areas no longer dare to sell things in large quantities, and they no longer accept paper money, but trade in copper coins or gold and silver.
Yun Qi was helpless, so he asked Guanyue to pretend to be an out-of-town merchant, and persuaded Qi Shang to bring in several carts of rice noodles from nearby grain depots. He pretended that he wanted to sell but did not dare to sell easily, and pretended to inquire every day.
Yun Qi told him, just say: "I am a rice merchant from the south. I heard that someone in Ping County buys rice noodles in large quantities, and the price is 30% more expensive than other places. I wonder if this is the case."
Yunqi also told Guanyue to pretend to be hesitant and visit various stores more often. Once someone comes to you with an intention to buy, always say to them: "Let's take a look and I'll think about it again."
Yun Qi emphasized: "Businessmen value profits, but a person who has been in the business field all year round is definitely not easy to fool. He must be experienced and shrewd, and he must have the unique trade-offs of a businessman. You don't have to rush to make a move, as long as the time is right, They’ll be more anxious than you.”
After a few days, it finally attracted some people's attention.
It's just that the other party only gave Guanyue a small amount of fake banknotes, and they wouldn't let him touch the core person.
After several operations, Guan Yue finally passed a merchant, who agreed to take him to meet the big shot. Today was the agreed time to meet.
Unexpectedly, Guanyue passed by according to time, but the man said: "The wind has been tight recently, let's talk after a while, brother, don't worry, you are a sensible person, and you are generous. If you have money, I will definitely help you."
Yunqi tapped his fingers on the table and said thoughtfully: "It's more difficult than I thought."
Suddenly, there was a noise outside. Guan Yue looked over and came back and said, "Captain Qian seems to have arrested a few people and put them in jail."
They now live in the county office of Ping County. The original county official disappeared. After Qi Shang came with his troops, he directly took over the county office and reported it later.
On the first day when Yun Qi arrived here, he 'occupied' the study room that originally belonged to the county magistrate. He did not hesitate to spend time collecting various ornaments to decorate the room until he felt comfortable.
No matter what other people's secret opinions are, he shows a dandy prince to the fullest.
Mo Yan curled his lips: "The soldiers are big-headed and have no brains. Whoever they can catch is just a gangster."
Su Ji covered his mouth and coughed dryly as he came out of the inner room, his face even worse than when he was in the capital. He handed the secret report in his hand to Yun Qi, "Someone is doing business secretly and claims to have money in hand."
Yun Qi read it in a few seconds and then ordered: "Guanyue, continue to try to contact that merchant. Mo Yan goes and keeps an eye on this person. It's best to get him over."
Mo Yan twitched his eyebrows and immediately became energetic, "Your Majesty, if this subordinate's actions are not serious...?"
"As long as you can speak."
Mo Yan readily agreed and jumped out of the window, almost hitting Colonel Qian's nose. The latter cursed, "I don't do serious things all day long, so what are you thinking about?"
The people next to him advised him: "Keep your voice down, they are people we can't afford to offend." He gradually walked away.
Yun Qi closed the window and turned to look at Su Ji, "I drank a few pills, but I'm not as good as the last two days."
Su Ji touched a Qingyan pill and pressed it under the tongue coating, raised his eyes and said, "It's an old problem that won't die if it can't be cured."
Yun Qi also knew that Su Ji was tired from traveling during this period, so he said to him: "Worry less and rest more. Don't wait to return to the palace like this. People will think I am exploiting you."
Su Ji leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, "Your Majesty, don't you feel guilty for saying this?"
Yun Qi smiled and said confidently: "Those who are capable work hard."
—
At ten o'clock in the night, Yun Qi slipped back into the room from the window wearing night clothes. As soon as he landed and before he could change his clothes, Guan Yue knocked on the door and walked in and said, "Your Majesty, something doesn't seem right in the city."
Yun Qi untied his clothes and nodded: "Well, I just looked around, and I don't know where I got the news. All the merchants were moving overnight."
"Should we inform Qi Shenling to stop them?"
Yun Qi thought to himself, "No need. Most of the merchants are common people. If there are any changes, it would not be good for them to keep them. Find two people to follow them and track their movements."
Just as Guanyue agreed and finished arranging, there was a loud noise outside.
The only secret guard left behind made inquiries and reported back: "A group of bandits entered the city and rushed straight to the county office."
Yun Qi became angry and said, "At night, the gates of Ping County were wide open, allowing bandits to come and go." What's even more clever is that the bandits took advantage of the ambition of the leopard and went straight to the county office.
He quickly took off his night clothes, grabbed a coat and put it on hastily, and said to the secret guard: "Hide in the dark and don't act rashly." He led Guanyue and ran forward from the inner courtyard, and met Su Ji halfway. .
There were shouts of killing ahead, and the open fire was bright, and the jumping fire was occasionally mixed with the sound of swords clashing. I don't know who secretly set a fire, and one of the wing rooms burned down. The fire spread like a prairie fire, and the black smoke rolled like a roaring beast.
Yun Qi wiped his face and instantly changed into a nervous and panicked expression, but quickly and accurately grabbed Qi Shang who was passing by, "Qi Shenling, what's going on?"
Even in the face of sudden changes, Qi Shang remained calm, his resolute face illuminated by the fire, and said in a deep voice: "There are rogue bandits causing chaos."
Yun Qi gathered his coat and frowned, "I heard that Captain Qian arrested several people during the day. Could it be that someone came to rob the prison?"
Qi Shang had obviously thought about this problem, but now was not the time to talk about it. He said: "The most urgent thing is that I will lead people to quell the chaos first. The county office asked people to set a fire. The prince might as well..."
Before he finished asking Yun Qi to lead people to put out the fire, Yun Qi interrupted: "It's best this way. I'm so weak that I can't help but leave and hide first, and wait until Qi Shen leads the bandits and then comes back." Apply oil on the soles of your feet, and you can slip away quickly. , and did not forget to turn around and shout: "Don't worry, Qi Shen, I will report your merits to the court truthfully."
A general next to Qi Shang couldn't see it and said harshly: "When you run away from the battle and let go to fight, I will be the first one to have his head knocked off."
"Let's not talk about this for now. You lead people to surround them from behind. You can't let them commit crimes in the city and prevent the casualties of innocent people in the city."
The two went their separate ways, and the shouting of death continued until dawn.
—
Yun Qi and others retreated to the back alley of the county office and left in a carriage from here.
Su Ji looked out for a moment and asked Yun Qi, "Is the prince leaving like this?"
Yun Qi took off the coat on his shoulders, leaned lazily on the platform, and raised his eyelids, "Qi Shangruo can't handle a few incompetent bandits, but he can still bear the title of captain of Langshan Camp."
"The prince is not afraid of the reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death."
"My reputation is good enough." Yun Qi curled his lips.
Su Ji: "The real culprit behind the counterfeit currency case is secretive. If there is any trouble, he would rather lose his soldiers to save his car. He doesn't act so recklessly and forcefully."
Yunqi nodded: "Ping County is not big, the internal relations are complicated, and there are many people hidden there."
But one thing is, "There must be some connection between them."
"Well." Su Ji said thoughtfully: "If you want to dig out their roots, you have to tear down the sky first."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud whistle came from not far away. Guan Yue followed suit, and soon, someone flew over from the darkness.
As soon as the moonlight shined on his face, Mo Yan's disgusted face was revealed, "This man is very cunning and has no idea what he is planning to do, so my subordinates caught him."
