Luochuan, Wangchuan Swordsman who was accompanying him, and two hundred Lijun Qingqi were settled in a huge courtyard not far from the Summer Palace. However, after the initial busyness, the whole courtyard became quiet. Come down.
But what the prefect of Li County did before on Xingcheng Street immediately ignited the city. Countless news spread with added fuel and jealousy, making the atmosphere in this city that was already not lacking in a sense of crisis even more solemn. .
In the Summer Palace, the three major eunuchs and the four major sects who had just finished the banquet left one after another and learned about this incident before they arrived at their respective stations.
Meng Jiaoyang, the prefect of Yongchang County, immediately changed his expression after hearing the news. He took the middle-aged scholar to the secret place deep in the Summer Palace. He did not leave all night, and only decrees were conveyed either explicitly or covertly.
The governor of Anyang County only frowned slightly when he heard the news, and then returned to the station without saying a word.
Only Yun Sanshan, the prefect of Guang County, had not yet left the Summer Palace when he learned of the situation. He was standing next to the market in the square in front of the palace and slapped big hats on Luo Chuan's head one after another at the top of his lungs. Yun Bailou On the contrary, he didn't say anything, he just got into the ordinary carriage and left early.
The reactions of the leaders and masters of the four major sects were also very dull. At most, they nodded to show their understanding.
In the prefect's annex, Luo Chuan paid no attention to the commotion outside. He just sat in the banquet hall of the annex and met the old soldier from Li County with Qianxue and the four girls.
While playing with the smooth and bright silver Li Zhang in his hand, he looked at the old man kneeling quietly in front of him, especially pausing at his patched clothes, and said, "On the main street of Xingcheng, You assassinated the chief treasurer of the treasurer's office on the street, and you probably don't want to live after doing this."
This is not a question.
The old man lowered his head very low, but kept his back very straight. He didn't raise his head when he heard the words, and replied, "To the prefect... yes."
Luo Chuan asked, "Is there no one in the family anymore?" He raised the hand holding the silver seal, "Even the person who passed it on is gone?"
The old man nodded, "There's no one left..." He thought for a moment and shook his head, "There's no one left."
Luo Chuan asked, "I just asked the palace attendant, the chief official of the Xingcheng Silufu Yamen, the man who tried the Xingchengfu treasury robbery case and convicted your son, why is he still alive and well now? Instead of killing him, you want to kill the chief official of the treasurer's office?"
The old man raised his head slightly when he heard the words, but he still looked like a stumbling farmer when he spoke, "Returning to the eunuch, Caomin, I have actually been here in Yongchang County for several years. In the past few years, I have been asking and investigating some things. The Chief Treasurer did indeed decide the wrong case, and he did unjustly kill my son and the others, but the person who deserves to die more than him is the Chief Treasurer."
He raised his head and looked at Luochuan. It was unclear whether the look on his face was sadness or indifference. "When the grassroots came to Xingcheng and learned about these things, they felt that there was something wrong with the treasurer's office. Such a big treasury had lost so much." They didn't even leave any traces, and didn't alert anyone. Who else could have committed the crime besides one of their own? Then it was found that the Xingcheng Treasurer's Office had transported several batches of goods to Yicheng after the crime, and the grassroots investigated After some time, I found that all the goods ended up in a place called Jinhua Temple in Yicheng. The Taoist priests in this Jinhua Temple had obtained cultivation materials, including a few demon pills."
He gritted his teeth, "This treasurer-in-chief secretly did such a shameful thing without telling anyone, and even gave an oil lamp to Silu's Yamen. In the end... But I went to Silu's Yamen to ask for it." I tried to explain, but was beaten out. There was no way to reason... There was no way to reason... I had to do it by myself. I followed him for a long time. He was very afraid of death. Until today, there was no one around him. Without many guards, the common people are not afraid of death, they just don’t want to ruin the prefect’s important affairs, but they are also afraid of missing out today and don’t know when they will get revenge, so..."
"Now the Grand Administrator is personally upholding justice for the son of the common man. The common man will die without regrets. He just waits to see the thief die..." He knocked his head heavily on the floor, "and then I will give up this miserable life." Return it to the Governor!"
"Repay?" Luo Chuan stood up and walked to the old man, squatted down and placed the silver Li Zhang in front of him, "You don't owe me anything, so what should you pay me back? The person who raised me also had a Li Zhang. It's just that his one is gold. I think our Luo family owes you people after all. When you encounter such a thing and don't think of asking for help, the debt has already been owed. After the incident in Xingcheng is over, go back to your hometown. If you really feel that living is meaningless, then find a smart and grateful child to take in from among the more and more refugees in Li County. Always combine your last name with this If Mei Li Zhang is passed down properly, your life will not be wasted."
After saying that, he walked out of the hall, ignoring the old man behind him who couldn't kneel down.
After leaving the hall, Luo Changgong, who was guarding there, followed him and asked, "Master, how should we deal with this person?"
"Just place them here with us first, and we won't give them to anyone who asks for them," Luo Chuan said as he walked, "Where are the officials from Xingcheng?"
"Arrangements have been made and someone is under supervision. The injury of the official with the broken arm has also been taken care of," Luo Changgong said.
"Okay," Luo Chuan paused and then said, "Lu Sen and the others were asked to camp ten miles away from Xingcheng and send people to spread the news. Now we have changed it to five miles."
Luo Changgong saluted and left without the slightest pause.
Luo Chuan turned around and asked Shadow, "Do you know about Jinhua Temple?"
The shadow shook his head, and Hua Yu, who was talking to Siqi on the other side, said, "I know a little bit. This Jinhua Temple is a place in Yicheng City specially used by the upper class of Yongchang County to burn incense and worship. It is said that the incense It’s very prosperous, especially since women from the Yongchang County Prefect’s Palace will come there from time to time, so for the people, everything is possible.”
"The women in the prefect's palace?" Luo Chuan thought about Meng Xiaotian's age, "I understand."
The group of people went to the garden of the other courtyard, where they had already prepared meals. However, they only reached the entrance of the garden when they were stopped by a guard cavalry trotting over. "Your Majesty, there is a group of people outside the mansion who call themselves The fairy on the mountain of the monk of Piaomiao Palace asks for an audience."
"How many people are there in the group?" Luo Chuan asked, "Are they all fairies?"
The guard thought for a while and said, "Together with the leader, there are about eleven or two people, all of whom are fairies."
Luo Chuan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Can you explain your purpose of coming?"
The guard shook his head and said, "I just said that I admire the prefect and came here to pay my respects."
"If you say they are all admired by fairies, then maybe it's true," Luo Chuan suddenly smiled and looked at the four Qianxue girls. He only received a sneer and a roll of the eyes. He didn't care, and just said to the guard, "We happen to have to go to the garden to eat something, so just bring them here. Eleven or twelve people should be enough."
The guards bowed and retreated.
