After dinner, Lin Xiaoman asked what was going on in this case. Did you get any clues after so long?

When Lu Jin mentioned the case, he wanted to sigh, "At first, it was a case of two murderers committing murder and selling goods. They killed a businessman from another place. The murderer was also caught on the spot. Who knew that more and more people were involved in the investigation, and the seal of Li State was found on the body of the murdered person.

, following the investigation of the people he had contacted in the past few days, dozens of Li spies were found in Qingping County."

Lin Xiaoman knew that Li State was a tributary state of Daning. It was beaten to a pulp by Daning more than sixty years ago, and the country was almost destroyed. In the end, he had to hand over a letter of surrender. It seemed that everything was peaceful these years, but in fact it was dormant.

Waiting for the day of rise and revenge.

And a hundred years later, the Li Kingdom did it. The king was brave and good at fighting. It took more than 20 years to annex Daning and establish a new dynasty.

But Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that Li State would reach out to Qingping County so early. The border of Li State was only a few hundred miles away from Qingping County. At this time, Li State's spies were discovered in Qingping County.

This matter is very thought-provoking.

Do they want to get something from Qingping County? Or do they want to start their attack from Qingping County?

I don’t know if Li’s spies are only in Qingping County, or have they penetrated all over Daning?

Obviously, Lu Jin could not have thought of what she was worried about. At this point, Lu Jin asked Lin Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you said you had read the Qingping County Chronicle before, have you mentioned Li Guo?"

Lin Xiaoman hesitated whether to say it. If he said it, he didn't know whether it would change history or promote the process of history, but in the end he nodded, "The Li Congress will annex Daning in about a hundred years, change the country's name to a new one, and transfer the relevant information to Daning."

All the history books and biographies were burned..."

I thought Lu Jin would be surprised after hearing this, but he just nodded lightly, as if he accepted the matter well. But the loss and helplessness in his eyes still revealed his unwillingness.

An atmosphere of silence spread between the two of them. Lu Jin opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but he still endured it.

Lin Xiaoman thought that Lu Jin would continue to ask her about the new dynasty, but Lu Jin stood up and said: "There are still some things for me to deal with. You go and have a rest first, and I will come back to accompany you when I am done."

Lin Xiaoman wanted to ask him if he should go over there and find the Qingping County magistrate to show him, but Lu Jin said: "Don't think too much about it. After all, what will happen a hundred years from now will always come. Even if we work hard now,

To change, who knows whether the next Li country will appear in a hundred years?"

Lin Xiaoman understood that Lu Jin meant that she should not interfere too much, while he should do his best and obey fate.

Mrs. Qing had already brought people to clean up Lin Xiaoman's room. The tables, chairs and furnishings were all transported from the villa. Many of them were what Lin Xiaoman was used to these days, especially the wardrobe, which was placed in the corner next to the bed.

After dinner was ready, Lu Jin never came back. After asking, we found out that he had been out front discussing things with others all day.

Lin Xiaoman had people deliver food so that Lu Jin and the others could discuss it while eating.

In the middle of the night, when he heard the commotion in front of him, Lin Xiaoman asked his maid to go to the front to inquire. Not long after, she came back and reported, "Madam, they said they caught a few more spies who were tampering with Qiuyuan."

Qiuyuan is the place where the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet will be held. Those invited to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet are all prominent figures in Qingping County and surrounding areas. The purpose of tampering with Qiuyuan at this time is obvious.

This night, Lu Jin did not come back.

When she got up early, Lin Xiaoman carried a can of chicken soup that had been simmered all night and a small can of shredded spicy pickles, followed by two cadres carrying wooden buckets.

When they came to the meeting hall, they saw a room full of people lying around. Lu Jin was sleeping at his desk. Some people had made two benches together, and some people were sitting directly or lying on the ground to sleep, with only a pillow under them.

Put down a mat or spread a blanket.

Thinking that these people might have been resting like this recently, Lin Xiaoman felt that the folding bed for lunch break was not very practical.

Even if you don’t have a foldable wooden bed, it’s better to make some thick quilts and sleep on the ground.

When Lin Xiaoman came in, Lu Jin happened to wake up and saw Lin Xiaoman coming in and reaching out to her.

Lin Xiaoman put the full can of chicken soup on the table, and the official next to him also put down the wooden rice.

He took out the bowls and chopsticks from one wooden bucket, and filled another wooden bucket with a bowl of rice. He also filled the chicken soup and chicken from the jar, and added some spicy pickle shreds on top.

He said softly: "Are you hungry after staying up all night? Eat some chicken soup and rice first."

Lu Jin took it and ate it with big mouthfuls, regardless of whether it was hot.

The steamed rice is a bit softer than usual, and the texture is just right after soaking in the fragrant chicken soup. It goes even better with the spicy pickles.

Before Lu Jin had eaten a few mouthfuls, someone woke up again smelling the aroma. Seeing Lu Jin taking big mouthfuls of rice, he also swallowed. When he saw Lin Xiaoman standing next to him, he said in surprise: "It's the princess who is here."

?What delicious food did you cook this morning? Why does it smell so good?"

"It's nothing, I just made a can of chicken soup." Lin Xiaoman smiled and asked the Yamen who followed him to serve rice and chicken soup to the woke people. After a while, he heard the sound of slurping the soup.

While eating, I would praise, "How do you make this chicken soup? It's so delicious."

Obviously, these people just marveled at the deliciousness of chicken soup rice, and did not really want to know how the chicken soup was made.

After everyone woke up and finished their breakfast, Lin Xiaoman took the yamen and took out the eaten soup cans and rice pails.

Looking back at the people who were discussing again, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but sigh, this was too hard.

After changing into clothes worn by ordinary people, Lin Xiaoman slipped out of the back door of the county government office with Xiuyu Xiuxiang and Liangcheng Liangan.

After the success of cotton planting elsewhere last year, the number of cotton-growing areas this year has increased several times. Although some of the harvested cotton will be used for military equipment, more will be distributed to various places by the court.

It's just that the price is not cheap, it's only half cheaper than silk. Even so, there are still many people coming to buy cotton, and the cloth shop is surrounded by water.

Lin Xiaoman asked Liangcheng to find the steward of the cloth shop. When he found out that cotton cost one tael of silver per pound, although it was not comparable to the price of silk, the price was indeed too high. Lin Xiaoman felt that it was not worth it, and although the cotton had already

Someone has knitted it, but because the price is too high, the cloth shop has no stock yet.

Even if I had known that cotton here would be very expensive at this time, I would not have expected that a pound of cotton costs one or two silver dollars, which is more expensive than a piece of coarse cloth.

In the end, Lin Xiaoman only bought some silk fabrics that could be sold over there and coarse cloth that could be used as quilt tops.

After returning to the county government office, Lin Xiaoman wanted to go there to buy some cotton to make quilts. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw a speeding truck approaching. Lin Xiaoman was so frightened that he quickly closed the cupboard door, knowing that something was wrong.
