Spring has begun in March, and the cold winter has passed. However, the climate in Ningzhou has always been said to be cold in spring. At this time, Luo Qingzhi stood outside the stone steps of Mufu, looking at the plaque of Mufu in the mist, lost in thought.
She crumpled the note Feng Xing had given her and murmured to herself, "How many things are still being covered up?"
Back at the inn, seeing that the light in Zhixin's room was still on, Luo Qingzhi asked Gao Zhen to go back to the room first and knocked on Zhixin's room.
"Did you wake up, or did you just come back?" Zhixin asked.
Luo Qingzhi looked at the dirt on Zhixin's boots and asked, "What about you? Have you just come back or are you about to leave?"
Zhixin coughed and avoided the question, "You came to see me for something?"
"Tell me what you heard about the Mu family when you were out on the street."
Zhi Xin nodded, "Come in and talk."
Seeing that the room was decorated with more flowers, Luo Qingzhi grinned, "He is very good to you."
Zhi Xin refused to comment, poured her a cup of tea, and said, "I remember telling you that no one actually has much comment on General Mu. The most comments come from the eldest son of the Mu family."
"I remember." Luo Qingzhi nodded and drank tea.
"However, when I met the eldest son in the mansion that day, I felt that what everyone said was strange." Zhi Xin thought for a while and continued: "Everyone said that the eldest son is gentle and gentle, treats people kindly, and often gives clothes and medicines."
Listening to Zhi Xin's description, Luo Qing Zhi gradually became puzzled, "Are they the same person?"
"I've thought about this question, so I'll check it out for you." Zhi Xin smiled, quite a bit asking for credit.
"What's the result?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
Zhixin said: "I was in a hurry to go to the market that day and didn't listen to the whole story. The eldest son they said was indeed like that. However, this well-received eldest son died mysteriously a year ago. The current eldest son is actually the second son.
Young Master."
"No wonder." Luo Qingzhi said, "No wonder this eldest young master calls himself a commoner."
Zhixin asked: "What do you mean?"
Luo Qingzhi explained, "When I was still in Yuzhou, I heard about this eldest son of Mufu. He was brave and good at fighting. He was a strong bow on the battlefield. He was named the governor of Ningzhou five years ago. He just called himself
Because of the common people, I thought it was intentional, but it turns out they are not the same person."
"But." Luo Qingzhi was still confused, "The Governor of Ningzhou passed away, why was there no news from his residence?"
Zhixin shook her head, "I don't know about that."
Luo Qingzhi said: "Now I know why your Majesty asked me to come to Ningzhou."
"Why?" Zhixin asked.
Luo Qingzhi explained, "Although Ningzhou is a small city, its neighboring countries are getting stronger and stronger, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not have wild ambitions. The coach looks like this, the governor died mysteriously, and crises are everywhere, so we have to find out."
Zhi Xin exclaimed and guessed, "Is it possible that His Majesty wants you to take over Yuzhou?"
"What are you thinking about?" Luo Qingzhi knocked her head, "I am the coach of Yuzhou. If I take over Ningzhou again, then the courtiers will want to participate in my power..."
Luo Qingzhi suddenly paused and smiled self-deprecatingly, "So, Your Majesty had this intention, then...why did Eunuch Huang do it?"
Zhi Xin was confused, "Aluo, what are you muttering about?"
Luo Qingzhi took a breath and shook her head, "No, I'm just overthinking it..."
Zhi Xin yawned and said, "Aluo, I'm a little sleepy and want to take a rest. You can go."
"You are so afraid that I will ask you about that person." Luo Qingzhi said.
"What? I don't understand what you are saying. I am really sleepy." Zhi Xin said as she began to push Luo Qing Zhi, urging her to leave quickly.
Luo Qingzhi was kicked out of the room just like that.
She sighed slightly and returned to her room. Before she could close the door, Feng Zinan appeared at the door.
"Come in." Luo Qingzhi said.
Feng Zinan entered the door, saluted, and said, "Young Master, we have found the trace."
"explain."
Feng Zinan took out a broken piece and said, "This is from the Shangyi Bureau."
"In the palace?" Luo Qingzhi was slightly surprised.
Feng Zinan nodded, "Yes."
Luo Qingzhi thought of Zhi Xin's words, "Zhi Xin said that his friends told her that those people were dead soldiers. I thought it was just perfunctory, but it seems to be true..."
"Do you need me to send a message to Luo Chen and ask him to check the situation in the palace?" Feng Zinan asked.
"Okay, tell him, be careful and don't let anyone know that I'm investigating this matter." Luo Qingzhi said.
The wind bowed from the south and left.
"Wait a minute," Luo Qingzhi called out, "Let him investigate in a big way."
Although Feng Zinan had doubts, he still nodded and said, "Yes."
"Aren't you going to ask me why?" Luo Qingzhi asked.
"Young master, you have your own reasons. I don't need to ask any more questions," Feng Zinan replied.
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly, "Okay, you can go down."
Early the next morning, news of the death of Mufu's new uncle spread throughout the streets. No matter where he went, people were talking about it.
Luo Qingzhi and the others were having breakfast in the lobby of the inn. They had heard countless decrypted versions. Some people speculated that the new uncle was a bride-in-law, but in the end he was unwilling to jump into the lake. Others speculated that Miss Mu's family was not
I am willing to marry such an ugly person and kill him myself...
"What on earth are these people guessing? They obviously don't know anything..." Zhi Xin was indignant.
Luo Qingzhi said calmly, "After eating, go pack your things, we have to move to the state capital."
"Ah? But, I'm used to living there." Zhi Xin obviously doesn't want to move away.
Luo Qingzhi probably knew the reason, and did not force her. She said, "Then you can stay at the inn. This way, you can get some other news."
"Okay." Zhixin smiled.
Gao Zhen also stopped the chopsticks in his hand and said tentatively: "I, I also want to stay in the inn..."
Everyone present was a little surprised. After all, in the past, Gao Zhen always surrounded Luo Qingzhi and would not miss any opportunity to get along with her.
Luo Qingzhi was naturally a little surprised, but she still nodded, "Okay."
Zhi Xin approached Gao Zhen, lowered her voice, and asked, "Did you quarrel with A Luo?"
"Of course not." Gao Zhen explained immediately.
"Then why don't you bother A Luo?" Zhi Xin continued to ask.
"I'm not pestering A Luo," Gao Zhen said, "We are in love."
Luo Qingzhi choked on the tea she just swallowed and kept coughing.
Zhi Xin said "tsk tsk" several times and commented, "They are still in love...Tsk tsk..."
"That person is still in Ningzhou?" Luo Qingzhi asked deliberately, as if to protect his shortcomings.
Zhi Xin immediately shut up and stopped teasing about the two of them.
Luo Qingzhi accepted the offer and said, "Then Feng and I will go to the state capital from the south, and you two will stay here."
"Where is Feng Zinan? I haven't seen him since early morning." Zhixin asked.
Luo Qingzhi said calmly: "I went to investigate the matter in Weibaoshan."
After she finished speaking, she observed the reactions of Zhi Xin and Gao Zhen. Both of them were calm and showed no signs of surprise.
Luo Qingzhi shook her head, hoping that she was overthinking it.
After breakfast, Gao Zhen took Luo Qingzhi's baggage and sent her to the state capital.
"I'm in, you go back." Luo Qingzhi took the baggage.
Gao Zhen said "hmm" with a look of reluctance in his eyes.
Luo Qingzhi asked: "Do you want to come with me?"
"..." Gao Zhen shook his head, "No, I still have things to deal with."
Luo Qingzhi didn't intend to ask him what he wanted to deal with. She said "hmm" and turned around to leave.
Ouyang Xun happened to go out, holding the file in his hand. When he met Luo Qingzhi, he saluted respectfully.
"The official has seen the county
My lord, how dare you trouble the princess to come and get the file? It should have been sent by the lower official."
Luo Qingzhi asked back: "How do you know that I'm here to find you?"
"Is Your Highness coming?" Ouyang asked.
Luo Qingzhi handed the baggage to Ouyang Xun, "Come and check in."
Ouyang Xun stared, "Wha, what?"
"Didn't the state government arrange a place for me to live?" Luo Qingzhi said.
Ouyang Xun explained: "Years ago, there was an unrest in the subordinate towns. After asking for instructions from His Majesty, the Governor went to suppress it."
"Sir, will you go in person?"
"We adults have always been so hands-on." Ouyang Xun said.
Luo Qingzhi joked, "Then Mr. Ouyang has the final say in Ningzhou Mansion now."
Ouyang Xun hurriedly bent down and saluted, "With His Highness sitting in charge, it is natural that His Highness has the final say."
"Are your words hurting me?" Luo Qingzhi said softly.
"Hey, Your Highness, be careful of the steps."
Ouyang Xun avoided answering, citing the reminder.
"Your Highness, this is the inner courtyard of the state capital. According to your Majesty's decree, your highness is allowed to live in the state capital. Your room is on the east side." Ouyang Xun pointed to the room and introduced.
The door on the west side opened, and a man in armor walked quickly to Luo Qingzhi, knelt down and saluted, "I am Wang Mian, I have met the princess."
Luo Qingzhi saw that Wang Mian looked familiar and asked, "Are you from the Forbidden Army?"
"I am the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army," Wang Mian said.
Ouyang Xun had sharp eyes and immediately greeted him, "I've met Deputy Commander Wang."
Wang Mian, however, was not one to give face, and immediately said: "Didn't I already see the ceremony yesterday?"
Luo Qingzhi pointed to the file in Ouyang Xun's hand and asked, "Tell me about the situation, sir."
Ouyang Xun handed over the file with both hands and said, "This is the result of last night's investigation."
Luo Qingzhi opened the file, browsed through it quickly, and asked: "The state's conclusion is suicide?"
"Yes." Ouyang Xun explained, "I conducted an autopsy overnight and found no external injuries. It was indeed drowning."
"..."
Seeing Luo Qingzhi's hesitation, Ouyang Xun immediately said: "All the witnesses and physical evidence are in the state capital. Do you want to review it?"
Luo Qingzhi yawned and said, "Wait a minute, I'm tired, so just relax first."
"Yes, Your Highness."
I went back to the room and closed the door. After a while, someone entered through the window.
Wang Mian entered.
"Quite clever." Luo Qingzhi said.
"Does your Majesty have any additional instructions?"
Wang Mian said: "Your Majesty said that the princess can make her own decision regarding matters in Ningzhou."
"..."
Luo Qingzhi sighed slightly and asked: "Is there any difference in the state capital?"
