No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 554 Find out the truth
Khenpo came aggressively, and left with a gloomy face.

It's hard to know what other people think, but Zeng Wei was indeed secretly relieved.

He is also unlucky, the situation in Southern Xinjiang is already complicated, he just took office, and he has not even fully grasped the affairs of Southern Xinjiang, so he encountered such a big thing.

The emperor was far away this day, if he didn't have time to wait for the rescue from the court, he might have to confess here.

Fortunately, he remembered what Lingchuan Hou said before he left. If there is anything that can't be solved, he can go to Huaining Governor Luo Jinyan.

This eldest son of the Luo family is worthy of being a military commander, with extraordinary courage and background.After receiving the request letter from Kuaima, he immediately brought the people to Zhaoyun City.

"Thank you, Mr. Luo." Zeng Wei wiped off his sweat, cupped his hands and bowed to Luo Jinyan.

Thank you for saving your life no matter what.

Luo Jinyan waved his hand and said, "Master Zeng was too early to reassure, this is Southern Xinjiang."

Zeng Wei is the consolation envoy sent by the imperial court to southern Xinjiang, representing the majesty and decency of the imperial court, so he must not do anything to escape on the charge of murdering the three patriarchs.

But now they are alone in southern Xinjiang, if the people in southern Xinjiang really want to kill Zeng Wei regardless of everything, even Luo Jinyan may not be able to do it.

It is impossible for Luo Jinyan to bring a large number of people into southern Xinjiang, and no matter how strong his personal ability is, he can't match the number of people on the other side.

Zeng Wei naturally understood this truth, and said with a helpless wry smile, "If your lord hadn't come in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive today."

Luo Jinyan went deep into southern Xinjiang to help him regardless of the danger, but he was so troubled that he risked his life to buy time for him. Zeng Wei was not only grateful but also a little guilty.

Luo Jinyan didn't think about this, and said bluntly: "We don't have much time, and we are not sure whether the prince will receive the news in time. Right now, let's find a way by ourselves. Mr. Zeng, how is your friendship with those three patriarchs? That letter What exactly was written in the letter, and why did the three patriarchs come to meet you without hesitation after receiving the letter?"

Zeng Wei thought for a while, and said: "I read the letter, which said that the imperial court is willing to support the chief of the Qiuci tribe as the king of southern Xinjiang. I am negotiating this matter with the chieftain of Qiuci on behalf of the imperial court. The other two letters to me Although I haven’t seen it, if it’s not exactly the same, it should be almost the same.”

Hearing this, Luo Jinyan sneered and said, "They also believe this?"

If the imperial court intended to support the King of Southern Xinjiang, it would have done so long ago, so why wait until now.

Nanjiang has always been disobedient. If there is an extra king of Nanjiang, it will be even more troublesome.

"Indeed." Zeng Wei nodded and said, "So, after reading the letter, my first thought was that people in the Qiuci tribe murdered the patriarch and framed me."

"The consolation envoy appointed by the imperial court is not a good target to be framed." Luo Jinyan said thoughtfully.

If you are not careful, it will lead to a thorough investigation by the imperial court. The last thing these tribes in southern Xinjiang want is for the imperial court to intervene in southern Xinjiang affairs.

Zeng Wei smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, knowing that the three patriarchs were killed almost at the same time, I knew I might have guessed wrong." That's why Zeng Weicai immediately sent someone to ask Luo Jinyan for help.

The three patriarchs were killed at the same time, and the murderer pointed directly at the consolation envoy appointed by the court. This will never be an ordinary power struggle within the tribe, and it is even unlikely to be just a conspiracy between tribes.

This is obviously someone who wants to drive a wedge between the imperial court and Southern Xinjiang.

Two years ago, people in southern Xinjiang were wary and dissatisfied with the imperial court because of the affairs of Yisi Luan.The peaceful situation was maintained only because of my own mistakes and the mediation of Lingchuanhou.Now that such a major event has happened, the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang did not kill the Xuanwei envoy immediately, which is already quite restrained.

I just don't know how long this restraint can last.

"In Master Luo's opinion, what should we do now?" Zeng Wei asked.

Luo Jinyan said: "The most important thing now is to find out the truth of the matter. It's just that we only have five days. It's really a bit..." It's not that Luo Jinyan doesn't want to fight for a longer time, but he also has to estimate the time of Kanbula. Patience is the limit.

When he entered the Consolation Mission's Mansion today, he discovered that there were surveillance eyes everywhere on the streets outside the door. Those people might rush in at any time to harm Zeng Wei, and the people in the Consolation Mission Mansion were not enough to deter them. People from southern Xinjiang.

Zeng Weineng was sent to replace Marquis Lingchuan, so he was naturally not incompetent.He thought for a while and said, "Fortunately, the places where the three patriarchs died were not far from Zhaoyun City. Among them, the Patriarch Furukawa died directly in the city. It would be easier to investigate. Master Luo and I will go separately. investigation."

Luo Jinyan glanced at Zeng Wei, "Master Zeng, if you walk out of the Mission's Mansion, I'm afraid..." Your life will be in danger.

Zeng Wei smiled and said: "If you keep hiding here, I'm afraid it won't help. Although Khenpo promised to give us five days, it doesn't matter if he says it alone. If the other two families can't help it, they will rush Come in. I still have some friendship with the young patriarch of the Qiuci tribe, maybe I can persuade him, so I will go find him."

Luo Jinyan stared at Zeng Wei, as if considering his proposal.

Zeng Wei sighed and said, "I don't know when His Highness the Regent will be able to send someone here, even if we come... Mr. Luo, we are now in the hinterland of Southern Xinjiang." Will be recruited.

Luo Jinyan was gloomy for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, I will investigate the cause of the death of the chief of the Hongshan tribe."

As for the Furukawa Department, since we have already discussed with Khenbula, let's let it go later.

Zeng Wei cupped his hands and said, "Master Luo is here."

Luo Jinyan waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

After discussing with Zeng Wei, Luo Jinyan did not delay, and immediately led the people out of the gate of the Xuanwei Mission's Mansion.

Luo Jinyan left Luo Yi to Zeng Wei, only taking Luo Er and Luo San with him.

As soon as the three of them left the gate, they noticed unabashed gazes from all directions.

Luo Jinyan glanced around, but saw no one.But he knew that those people must be hiding in a tree not far away, in a house, or some other hidden place at this time.

"My lord!" A middle-aged general came quickly with a pair of elite soldiers, and greeted Luo Jinyan with fists cupped.

Luo Jinyan said: "Commander Zhou, you stay here to protect the Xuanwei Mansion, anyone who dares to forcibly break into the Xuanwei Mansion will all be killed in the name of offending the majesty of the imperial court-kill without mercy!"

The middle-aged general hesitated, "But my lord, your safety..." They are protecting Lord Luo's safety, if they all stay, what will Lord Luo do?
Luo Jin said: "Don't say too much, follow my orders."

Luo Jinyan was his immediate superior. Seeing Luo Jinyan's solemn expression, the middle-aged general didn't dare to say anything, so he nodded.

Luo Jinyan didn't lower his voice to say this, and after speaking, he lost his glance around, the meaning is self-evident.

After ordering Commander Zhou, Luo Jinyan took Luo Erluo San to the other side of the street for a stroll.

Now the city is not lively, although it is not so quiet, but there are only a few people in a hurry on the busiest street in the whole city, which does not match the name of the first city in southern Xinjiang.

"My lord, someone is following us." Luo Er whispered.

Luo Jinyan was not surprised, and said calmly, "Let them follow."

Seeing what Luo Jin said, Luo Er and Luo San ignored the tail behind him.

The two just listened vigilantly to the movement around them, with their right hands resting on the hilt of their swords, one on the left and the other on the right to protect Luo Jinyan's expression, when one of them attacked suddenly.

The three left the city smoothly all the way, and they disappeared without anyone coming forward to intercept them.

It wasn't until Luo Jinyan and the three of them had gone out for seven or eight miles that they saw a few young men and women in different clothes behind a small forest.

Those people were all wearing the unique costumes of Southern Xinjiang, with some colorful colors on their faces, which looked a bit simple, mysterious and weird.

At this time, several people were standing on the only road that the three of them had to pass, and they stood in a row, just blocking the way of Luo Jinyan and the three of them.

Luo Jinyan looked back, and sure enough, several people followed and blocked the three of them.

Luo San stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, look at their clothes and the things on their faces, they are from the Hongshan Department."

Luo Jinyan said indifferently: "It looks like it, but it's hard to say whether it's true or not."

After saying this, I heard Luo Jinyan say in a deep voice: "Everyone, please make way."

The tall man standing in the middle of the opposite said in a somewhat blunt Central Plains dialect: "We, what if...don't let us?"
