Chapter 175 Yangzhou Governor (23)

"Boy, did you give me the stuff?"

The smile on Yanjiang's face became more kind and kind, and his hand patted Yanfei's shoulder with a heavy weight. He said in a kind tone to the senior brother who suddenly appeared, "It turns out that the thing was given by Your Excellency. How are you doing?" call?"

"This great hero will not change his name in action, but will not change his surname in office. Swallows and flying passengers must not look back."

"It turns out to be Daxia Yan, whom I have admired for a long time."

"Master Mo, don't look back."

This hero Mo walked straight towards Yan Fei, took the roast chicken and wine in his hand, thanked Yan Fei, and then flew across the roof as lightly as a swallow, disappearing in the blink of an eye. , leaving only one unrestrained and unrestrained words in the air.

"Junior Sister, there will be a time later."

"How come you haven't heard of Swallow Flying Guest?" Yan Jiang said, touching his chin.

Xi Niang said: "That's what senior brother named himself."

Yanjiang touched his chin again and looked in the direction of the roof. He didn't know what he was thinking. Xiniang said that there were still noodles in the pot, and then went to the kitchen to serve noodles to his uncle and nephew.

By the time Yan Fei returned to the General's Mansion, the sun had already set.

As soon as he reached the door of the yard, he saw his grandfather standing inside.

The iron-clad back looked at the horizon, and the burly body exuded the chilling spirit of a soldier's life. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, he looked a little sad and lonely, as if he had aged a few years.

"Are you going to that brat?" Before Yan Fei came over to salute, General Yan asked with his hands behind his back, as if he had a pair of eyes on the back of his head.

Yanfei nodded and acknowledged, came over and bowed, called his grandfather, paused and said, "Uncle San asked you to pay more attention to your health. I will come back to see you when you are not busy in a few days."

General Yan snorted and said nothing.

After the grandfather and grandson stood in silence for a while, General Yan turned around and his vigorous eyes fell on Yan Fei's similar sword eyebrows, as if he saw the shadow of another person, and something flashed across his eyes. Painfully, he nodded again and said with a pleased tone: "I have grown up."

Yanfei lowered his head slightly, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Have you eaten?"

"Ah."

General Yan asked Yan Fei to use the red tassel spear, and he used the stick, and then the grandfather and grandson began to spar in the yard.

……

The next day, Ye Lingxi heard that Master Qiu had woken up.

Upon hearing the news that the governor had woken up, Commander Wu arrived first, then Yuan Luo arrived with two of his men, then Yan Jiang, the leader of the Long Shadow Guard, and finally Prime Minister Zhou also arrived.

Imperial Physician Han said that Mr. Qiu's body had not yet been cleared of poison, and he would need to take medicine for another three to five days.But people can finally speak.

Commander Wu asked him how he was poisoned. Qiu Yu recalled what had happened for about half a cup of tea and said he couldn't remember.Doctor Han said that it might be the sequelae of excessive poisoning, and he should be able to remember it after a day or two of treatment.

"Do you have any enemies, sir?" Yuan Luo asked kindly.

Qiu Yu slowly shook his head and said in a weak voice: "In the officialdom, how can one not offend a few people, and they are not considered enemies."

"I see Danyang County Sheriff doesn't think so." Yuan Luo said meaningfully.

Mentioning Danyang County Sheriff, Qiu Yu suddenly said seriously: "I will never tolerate corruption, perverting the law, and disregarding human lives. Cough, cough..." At this point, he coughed violently, as if he was too excited, and Imperial Doctor Han immediately took treatment measures. , the result was not effective yet, the person fainted again.

Commander Wu cast his unhappy eyes on Yuan Luo, who still had a gentle and elegant smile.

"I think we should go out first, as long as the imperial doctor is here." Prime Minister Zhou said, so Commander Wu, Yuan Luo and Yan Jiang all followed him out.

"How is the investigation of the poisoner?" Prime Minister Zhou asked, looking at Yan Jiang first. He replied that he had sent people to Yangzhou, and maybe they could find a breakthrough there. Prime Minister Zhou said that the emperor's cap was expired. The case was solved within ten days, and the three people were reminded that the vassal kings and military governors from all over the country were arriving one after another. If no one was caught, it was unknown what kind of trouble would be caused.

"A strange thing happened in Dongshi yesterday, do you know?" Yuan Luo said, with a hint of solicitude in his tone.

Prime Minister Zhou said: "I didn't go out yesterday. I wonder what kind of strange thing happened?"

Yuan Luo then told a story about a fright that happened in the cockfighting ring yesterday. After listening to it, Prime Minister Zhou said, "It is indeed a strange thing." After pondering for a moment, he asked, "According to Mr. Yuan, this matter is different from the current one." Is the case related?" Yuan Luo replied, "According to my opinion, those people in the building died in strange ways, with bleeding from all their orifices, and they seemed to have been poisoned."

At this point, he changed the topic and cast his kind eyes on Yan Jiang, "Yesterday, General Yan asked two of his men to take the thug away. I wonder if the cause of death was found out, but he was poisoned?" Yan Jiang said, "I want more. It will take two days to get the results. I wonder if Mr. Yuan has found out the whereabouts of the beggar?" Yuan Luo said, "Look, the beggar is probably a deception to divert our attention and interfere with the direction of the investigation. Previously, Mr. Qiu Ginseng He was charged with the crime of dereliction of duty by Danyang County Governor, who has been entrenched in Yangzhou for many years and is secretly colluding with some evil sects in the world."

Yanjiang praised, "Master Yuan is really aware of everything. With Master Yuan guiding us, it seems that solving the case is just around the corner." Yuan Luo said modestly: "Compared to the general, my shallow knowledge is not worth mentioning. Whether the case can be solved is still a matter of fact. Rely on the general."

"The three of them are capable officers around the emperor. The emperor has been very worried about this matter recently. As a minister, it is my duty to share the emperor's worries. I hope that the three of them will work together to solve the case as soon as possible." Prime Minister Zhou said.

All three of them agreed.

After the diagnosis and treatment by Dr. Han, Master Qiu woke up again after a cup of tea.Yuan Luo apologized to Lord Qiu, and the latter returned the favor. He looked so weak that he was struggling to speak. Imperial Doctor Han said that people need to rest, so Prime Minister Zhou and the three of them said goodbye and left.

After leaving the post house, Prime Minister Zhou went towards the palace. Yan Jiang took the first step even if he had something to do. Yuan Luo and Commander Wu walked on the same road, with two steps between them, walking and talking.

"I wonder who the two guests Commander Wu took away from Jixiang Inn the day before yesterday?"

"Didn't Mr. Yuan find out?"

"I did find out something. When the Danyang County Governor was escorted back to Beijing, there were still fish that slipped through the net."

"Mr. Yuan, say it directly, no need to beat around the bush."

"The youngest daughter of Danyang County Governor married a guard in the mansion. The two had a child, a boy. When the officers and soldiers went to the mansion to arrest someone, the guard had already escaped with the mother and son. The innkeeper said that the two The guests were also a mother and son, and they were sent by a man. After the mother and son were placed in the inn, the man disappeared. What I'm curious about is, how could these three people escape to the capital? Isn't this a self-inflicted trap? "
