Chapter 39 Clues

In the early morning of the second day, it happened to be a day off for bathing on the tenth day, so it was rare for Huang Jun to sleep in the mansion openly and aboveboard. He never expected that someone would shout in front of his house at Maoshi: "My lord, it's not good! I'm here on an errand. !"

Huang Jun frowned and pulled the quilt over his face, still unable to resist the sound that pierced through the wall. After waiting for a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up angrily, and opened the door with his messy hair.When Fang met someone, he pointed at Jiang Luwen and yelled at him without waiting for Jiang Luwen to speak: "You bastard! What are you yelling about so early in the morning? It's rare for me to take a bath today, so we can talk about it tomorrow!"

After Huang Jun yelled, he wanted to go back to the house and sleep in the cage with a full body of hostility. Jiang Luwen quickly stopped him: "How can a general errand subordinate be so reckless to bother you, it's important!"

Upon hearing the "important matter", Huang Jun finally cheered up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Just now people from An Guogong's mansion came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the case, saying that they were attacked by thieves last night, but they were not caught."

Huang Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the words, and said aggrievedly: "It's An Guogong again! What's the matter with them, why don't they go to Lord Shangshu, but they come to annoy me again and again?"

Jiang Luwen hesitated to speak, but had to remind: "My lord, how old is old Shangshu? I heard that he will not be able to come down to land recently. How can you still expect him to fail in his errands? Aren't his current errands all from your future?" Is Master Shang Shu here to do it?"

Huang Jun felt flustered when he heard this, he took some breath away, walked into the room, found a chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea and took a sip, and said: "If you encounter a thief, don't report it to the government office, what do you come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for?"

Jiang Luwen followed into the room, lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "How dare the government office take care of the affairs of Duke Anguo's mansion, don't they have to be transferred to the Ministry of Punishment? Besides, there are so many guards in the Duke's mansion that they can't catch anyone. It can be seen This is not an easy matter, if your lord has done meritorious service in front of the father-in-law, it will be a good thing for your lord."

"Hehe." Now Huang Jun dare not have the slightest idea of ​​profiting from them, he just asks not to embarrass him in the future, otherwise he may die before the old Shangshu dies, wouldn't it be difficult Unflattering.

"I still like the two months when An Guogong was grounded. I don't know how clean it was. Now that the grounds are lifted, troubles come one after another." Huang Jun lowered his head and murmured, full of loyalty, sincerely admiring His Majesty's grounding. What a wise move.

Jiang Luwen also felt a little sympathetic to Huang Jun, it was really hard to be worried these days.He persuaded: "My lord, you can just talk to your subordinates, you can't lose your courtesy in front of Mr. Ning."

Huang Jun snorted coldly, and said viciously: "That's not sure, today is Xiu Mu, I'm going to give him face, if I get upset halfway, I won't give him good face again."

Jiang Luwen looked at him suspiciously, doubts written all over his face.

...

Anguo Gongfu.

Ning Qing was sipping tea in the main hall, looking very relaxed, not at all eager to be thieves.That's right, Duke Anguo's mansion is so big, there are countless gold, silver, jade, and rare antiques, and it's okay to lose things, but it's not uncommon for Huang Jun to make trouble at the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Huang Jun was quite resentful in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "Young Master Ning, don't worry about it, the lower officials have sent someone to investigate immediately."

Ning Qing blew on the heat of the tea, looked up at him calmly and said, "I'm calm."

"Oh, is that so?" Huang Jun was weary, thought for a while and smiled again: "The thieves dared to rob the Duke's mansion at night, it's really rampant, I don't know what was lost in the mansion? The official ordered someone to record it, and it will be more convenient when the case is tried." .”

Ning Qing put down the teacup and said to him: "I had someone check it earlier, and there is nothing missing in the mansion."

"Then you..." Huang Jun just said the words, but changed in a blink of an eye, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and it took a long time to find the round eyes on his face, "It's good that you didn't lose anything. This is an unforgivable crime, I will investigate carefully, and if there is any news, I will definitely find someone to report to the family."

"Then I'm sorry, Master Huang." Ning Qing said politely.

Huang Jun saluted with a smile: "How dare you, I will resign as an official."

After leaving the Duke's mansion, Huang Jun's complexion changed drastically, and he said angrily to Jiang Luwen: "What kind of bullshit is it? , when the person is caught, I will definitely train him hard so that I will not be in vain for suffering so much."

"Yes." Jiang Luwen thought to himself, isn't this just an excuse to vent your anger?

After Huang Jun and others left, Chen Chunluan entered the hall, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, leave this matter to Master Huang?"

Ning Qingqing leaned his hand on the case and smiled slightly: "You can't really count on him, but it's just for people who don't know. Chief Chen, you secretly send some reliable people to investigate, and the house will strengthen its security. "

"Yes. The subordinate has already ordered that no one should take advantage of it." Chen Chunluan thought for a while, then knelt down to plead guilty, "Young Master, please punish what happened last night."

For some reason, Ning Qing suddenly laughed, and Chen Chunluan said in a daze, "But what did your subordinate say wrong?"

"Nothing." Ning Qing smiled, "How long have you been with the father-in-law?"

"27 years. This subordinate grew up in the General's Mansion." Chen Chunluan didn't know why he suddenly asked this.

Unexpectedly, he came from the general's mansion, Ning Qing was surprised for a moment, and then figured it out.

"It's no wonder that the people around me are all very similar in nature. I wonder if it's like attracting birds of a feather or he brought them along." Seeing that Chen Chunluan didn't understand, Ning Qing clicked and said, "You've already noticed what happened last night, so it's good, no wonder You, I have nothing to punish you. If you are worried, you might as well do some errands. The flower garden in the backyard is a bit messy, let someone call a gardener to trim it. "

I thought he was an ignorant son of an aristocratic family, but he was comprehensive and meticulous. It seemed that the rumors were not credible.Chen Chunluan thought in his heart, saluted and said: "Thank you, Mr. Young Master, this subordinate will go right away."

Lin Rongfang brought the cakes into the living room, and looked at Ning Qing in a panic, as if he was afraid that he would lose weight: "Young master, I heard that a thief broke into your house last night, are you okay?"

Ning Qing was stunned, Lin Rong was still sleeping so soundly after the movement last night, he really deserved it.

"It's all right. You can count on you if something really happens, I'm afraid that thunder will not wake you up." Ning Qing poked his swollen belly with his index finger.

Lin Rong said guiltily, "Didn't you know that you made a mistake, so you went to the kitchen to get your favorite almond cake?"

Lin Rong was holding the plate. In ancient times, Lian was guilty of pleading guilty to Jing, but now he substitutes food.Ning Qing smiled and said, "Take it, and find Fei Tian to relieve boredom."

Lin Rong hurriedly followed him.

When Ning Qing arrived at Fei Tian's room, Fei Tian was rummaging through the baggage.He asked: "What are you doing with this thing, you want to go out?"

"No, this is the luggage I brought when I went to Xingchuan. I haven't packed it since I came back. I just remembered it because I was bored these few days." Fei Tian sighed, it seemed that he was really bored.

Ning Qing took the pastries, asked Lin Rong to take a few pieces, took a piece to taste himself, put the rest on the table, and sat down beside Fei Tian.

Looking at Fei Tian's baggage, he suddenly remembered something, put down the half-eaten pastry, and asked, "Is the letter you took from Lin Ruode's mansion that day still in your baggage?"

Fei Tian didn't know why, so after searching for a long time, he took out a wrinkled envelope from his bag and handed it to him.

Ning Qing looked at the envelope and suddenly realized: "I understand, the person from last night came here for this letter."

Fei Tian asked suspiciously: "A letter? You mean those people are related to the people behind Du Yuan? But this letter is empty, we have read it all, why do they bother, maybe they don't know it is empty?"

"Perhaps. But I always feel that there is no reason for Du Yuan to just leave us an empty letter. There should be articles in it, and the people who did the homework came here for it."

Fei Tian looked at the letter twice, and said, "It's empty, could it be that there is something wrong with the wax?"

Sealant?Ning Qing looked at the wax paint, seemed to understand something, and said to himself, "No, it's not wax paint, it's a letter stamp."

Southern Xinjiang, Gyeongju.

Wei Yao discussed the military situation with several lieutenants in the camp.

Zhao Min said: "The entire platoon of the two armies has been completed, with a total of 6 horses, waiting for the general to dispatch."

Tian Cheng said: "The grain and grass have been prepared, and the stables and tents have also been stationed."

Wei Yao looked at the map of Jiazhou brought back by the Jiazhou garrison, and replied, "Okay."

He raised his head, looked at the Jiazhou city gate, which was faintly visible in the distance outside the camp, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Pass my military order to send 2 horses to enter Jiazhou."
