Magistrate Niu was not found.
Song Qiyun, along with Ying Shiwu and Dai Yi, led the Shadows to search the county government office up and down, inside and out, but did not find the secret room, let alone Magistrate Niu.
This result surprised everyone. Bai Meng did not give up and led his people to search again, but still found nothing.
When Bai Meng was searching the county government, Shen Cha personally went to the camp in Wangxin Town. While letting the imperial army who was ordered to take over the camp search the camp, he personally interrogated Wu Fei, but he also received no results. The answers they want.
"We can't delay any longer. Let's set off back to Beijing early tomorrow morning!" Shen Haolin looked at the few people sitting around with sad faces. "You don't have to look like this. There must be something we have overlooked here, slow down." Take your time, don't be in a hurry. Let's deliver Wan Yanxi safely to His Majesty first, this is the most important thing!"
"The Duke is right." Song Jinyu nodded and reached out to pat Bai Meng, who was frowning. "Anyway, people can't escape in our hands, right? When we get to Xijing, we will investigate slowly. We have plenty of time. Spend time with them."
"Sister is right. What they care about is their status in Wangxin Town, so let's use what they care about most to stimulate them. When we return to the capital, enter the palace, and meet the emperor's brother, I will propose to choose the right person. Take over this place. When everything is ready, I will tell them this wonderful news." Song Qiyun sneered, "Since they don't want to tell us the truth, then just stop telling them and spend the rest of their lives in prison. !”
"Why are you so angry today?" Song Jinyu pinched Song Qiyun's face, "Is it because of General Wu Fei?"
"There is no one else but him. I really didn't expect that my brother could stab me in the back." Song Qiyun snorted twice and looked at Shen Cha, "My sister was really wise not to leave him in the shadows back then. This move, just like you said at the beginning, he is not of the same mind as us."
"It's not that he has the same intention, but his thoughts and original intentions are completely different from ours. The purpose of our joining the army is to spend our lives resisting foreigners and ensuring the safety of the people of Daxia, so it doesn't matter where we are stationed. . And what he wants is to become a local leader. It can be said that at least in his jurisdiction, no one will not listen to his words and no one will refute him. Such a person will never allow himself to be inferior to others. Shen Cha sighed, "So, he would rather stay in Wangxin Town than go to the border to be restrained."
"But even if he stays in Wangxin Town, the Niu County Magistrate and the Commander-in-Chief are also his immediate superiors, so he is not unconstrained, right?" Song Qiyun lay on the table, "If he wants to do something, he has to take Niu County into consideration. Ling’s ideas also need to be considered with consequences.”
"Your Majesty, you don't understand what the general means." Bai Meng took a sip of tea, "Although Wangxin Town is known as the last barrier of Xijing, it is still a bit far away from Xijing. He wants to do something behind our back. We don’t know for a short time. Although Magistrate Niu is his immediate boss, if he holds the handle on Magistrate Niu, Magistrate Niu can only let it go. So..." He sighed, "This place It’s really not certain who has the final say! At least judging from the current situation, Wu Fei must be an indispensable person. This ridiculous lie has nothing to do with him. If we want to find Magistrate Niu, I'm afraid we have to start with him." He looked at Shen Cha, "General, I..."
"Commander, no matter what you want to do, you have to wait until we solve Wanyanxi's matter, okay? Besides, Commander-in-Chief has many experts who can handle this interrogation. I believe in their abilities. , I hope the general also believes in them. If it doesn’t work, I will let Shadow assist you. General, don’t be so anxious, anyway, we have to stay in Beijing for more than half a month, which is enough time."
"Okay." Bai Meng agreed simply, "Then we will wait for the general!"
Shen Cha shook his head helplessly. Bai Meng was entangled with her. If she didn't agree, the commander might make trouble in front of Song Jue, and he might cry and make trouble with Song Jue!
She touched her chin. Thinking about it, it seemed quite interesting. She suddenly really looked forward to this scene and wanted to see what it would be like for the usually very steady commander to act recklessly.
Early the next morning, everyone set off straight to Xijing. Niu Chuang, Mengxian Cheng, Wu Fei and others were also escorted by the imperial army and followed the large group into Beijing.
Wanyanxi sat on the horse, looked at the prison car following their team, and sighed softly.
Although he had not left the post house for the past two days and was only wandering around in the yard, there was such a big fuss in Wangxin Town that he could not have been unaware of it. The people from the Shen family who were coming and going did not avoid him either. , more or less, I still heard some. But he understood that this was not what he should know, nor should he talk too much, so he pretended that he was completely ignorant.
"Do you know who is in the prison car behind you? You should have heard something about Wangxin Town, right?" Song Qiyun followed Wanyanxi. When he saw him looking behind, he chuckled, "What's the matter? idea?"
"Vice General Song, I..."
"Stop it, don't say you don't know, the whole Wangxin Town is in uproar." Song Qiyun patted Yan Xi on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, just say what you want to say, you can ridicule if you want!"
"Vice General Song, you are overthinking. I don't mean to ridicule anyone. Every family has its own problems, and no one's life is particularly easy. There is no need to add insult to injury." Wanyanxi looked at the armor on her body. He smiled bitterly and said, "With my current position, what qualifications do I have to ridicule others? Vice General Song, have you not found the county magistrate?"
"Yes!" Song Qiyun didn't hide anything and admitted it simply, "We thought the county magistrate was not dead, but we searched Wangxin Town but couldn't find him. This person disappeared as if he had never existed. It’s strange that there is no trace.”
"Vice General Song, you can change your mind. Maybe you can find the source of the problem and the county magistrate."
"Oh? Tell me, how can we change our minds?"
"That's it." Wanyanxi sighed softly, looked at Song Qiyun, and said, "I have been wandering around outside in the past few years, and I have met a lot of strange people and seen a lot of strange things, so many incredible things. I have experienced it all. About the winter of the year before last, I also encountered a similar situation. In a wealthy family, two brothers were infected with the disease at the same time. Unfortunately, the elder brother died of the disease, but the younger brother was lucky to recover and became the head of the family. But later It was discovered that the elder brother did not pass away, but the younger brother passed away. The reason why he pretended to be the younger brother was because in the process of taking the medicine, not only did his illness heal, but by some strange combination of circumstances, his appearance also became younger. , the old physical problems were gone. This was originally a good thing, but he had no way to explain his changes to outsiders, and no one would believe that this was the effect of the medicine. Therefore, before he died, he thought about it. He can only tell others that the person who died was himself, and the one who survived was his younger brother." He looked at Song Qiyun, who was deep in thought, "I know this story sounds unreliable, and it seems like talking nonsense, but this is It did happen. If you send someone to inquire, many local people can testify. Vice General Song, Master Jin has very good medical skills. Ask her to diagnose the pulse of the man who calls himself Niu Chuang, and you should be able to find some clues. That year. The person who noticed the exchange between the brothers was a well-known local doctor with excellent medical skills. I believe that with Mr. Jin's ability, he can also detect the difference."
Song Qiyun stared at Wanyanxi for a long time, which made Wanyanxi tremble. He did not wait for the other party to speak. It was not until the team stopped to rest that the county prince slowly exhaled.
"If it's really like what you said, you've been a big help." He patted Yan Xi on the shoulder, "I will thank you very much!"
"As long as I can help, no need to thank you." Wanyanxi smiled lightly, "Now I just hope to return to the Kingdom of Jin and kill Wanyanping with my own hands. Other than that, I have nothing else."
