Chapter 141 It Never Happened
Jinxiu Pavilion of Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Wei Mo bowed and replied: "Master, this is the news from Yang Qing, the deputy commander of the dark guards. The son asked him to investigate the matter of Linfengdu before."

Xiao Jinxi took the letter after hearing the words, and after a while, Fang said: "The cottage? This is the stronghold of Emperor Mingxi in the north."

Wei Mo continued to say, "That's right, since what happened at Linfengdu last time."

"Yang Qing searched around Linfengdu for hundreds of miles, and finally found this cottage on one of the mountains."

"Yang Qing sneaked in and saw those people training, but the training methods of those people were not like ordinary bandits, but more like the training methods of hidden guards. There should be hundreds of people in the whole village."

"The training method of the dark guard!" Xiao Jinxi murmured.

After a while, he asked again: "Did Yang Qing see the leader?"

Wei Mo replied after hearing the words: "Probably not, Yang Qing said that he inspected it inside, although the martial arts of those people inside are not bad."

"But there is no one who is similar to him or taller than him, otherwise he must have been discovered."

Then he asked: "Master, what should we do next?"

"It seems that there is another master beside Emperor Mingxi, besides the one beside the palace, there is another one who helps him manage these dark forces outside the palace." Xiao Jinxi murmured.

After a while, he said again: "Wait a minute, just let Yang Qing keep an eye on it secretly, these are small people inside."

One by one got up and walked to the desk, and began to write... After a while, Fang said again: "Wei Mo, you pass these letters out, this one is for Yang Qing, this one is for Yun Zhan, and this one is for brother of."

"Yes, master." Wei Mo took the letter and bowed back.

"Wei Mo, apart from the last time Zhao Yukun sent someone to look for the second lady, did Emperor Mingxi make any other moves?" Xiao Jinxi asked again.

Wei Mo replied after hearing the words: "Master, since we captured the secret guard last time, Emperor Mingxi has changed the route, and our people have never found it again."

"The secret guard didn't find out anything during the interrogation?" Xiao Jinxi asked again.

Wei Mo shook his head, and replied again: "No, master, it's strange, this group of people are surprisingly tight-lipped. Maybe we can only wait for Yunshang."

There was doubt in Xiao Jinxi's eyes: "But, Wei Mo, don't you think these people's mouths are a bit too tight? It's understandable for one person to be like this, but it's not normal for everyone caught to be like this."

Wei Mo also asked suspiciously: "Yes. Master, what are you doubting?"

"Wei Mo, the last time those people broke into the house, they were blocked by the fence, and they fled, and they didn't make another surprise attack?" Xiao Jinxi asked again.

"That's right, master, after those people escaped, they never went there again." Wei Mo replied.

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi's eyes were full of doubts, and he said again: "Wei Mo, don't you think Emperor Mingxi gave up too quickly?"

"At that time, Mo Yi and I were not in the imperial capital, and we took away a lot of people. For Emperor Mingxi, this time should be the most suitable time to save people, but he came here twice without pain, why? ?”

Wei Mo also wondered: "Master, maybe these people are not that important to him."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head, and continued: "No, if it wasn't that important, why did Dugu Yan call me into the palace right then!"

"Also, if these people are not so important to him, why are the people who were arrested so tight-lipped?"

"If they are unimportant people, they will naturally not know important things. Some unimportant people keep their mouths so tight and protect their master?"

After a while, Xiao Jinxi said again: "Forget it, you go to send the letter first, let me think about it."

"Yes, master." Hearing this, Wei Mo bowed and retreated.

I saw Xiao Jinxi turned around and walked back to the pear flower couch, looking at the collapsed chessboard, his eyes were full of doubts...

For a long time, I picked up the small wooden box next to the chessboard, opened the wooden box, and looked at the jade tablet inside, with helplessness and deep doubts in my eyes...

After a long time, Luo Er came in with a stew pot and said, "Miss, Mammy has stewed pigeon soup for you, come and drink some."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Jinxi returned to his senses, smiled, and replied, "Okay." Standing up one by one, he walked to the dining table.

"Come on, Miss, drink it while it's hot." Luo Er put the soup in front of his lady.

"Hey... I see." Xiao Jinxi replied with a smile, and Fang picked up the spoon and started to drink slowly.

After a while, Luo Er said again: "Miss, this trip back and forth to Yunzhou is so tiring, and there is no mother to make soup for you every day."

"Brother Yueyi hasn't given you internal energy this month, but it's strange that you haven't even had a cold attack this month."

Xiao Jinxi was also surprised when she heard the words, yes, she didn't even notice that this month's cold syndrome has never happened!He lowered his head to look at the jade bracelet on his wrist, is it because of the red wheel?
After a while, Fang said: "Maybe it's because I went outside and breathed in the fresh air, and I became more energetic, so the seizures stopped."

Luo Er was overjoyed when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Really, from now on we will go out to visit mountains and rivers more, so that Miss will not get sick again."

Xiao Jinxi smiled instantly when he heard the words: "Okay, I'll listen to Luo Er."

The Eleventh Prince of Yunzhou, a refuge for victims of disasters.

At this moment, inside a tent, Mo Yi was looking down at the letter in his hand.

After a while, Qingyu came in, bowed and said back: "Master, Prince Yu brought Mr. Zhao, and came to look for you."

Mo Yi, who raised his head when he heard the words, had doubts in his eyes, and asked, "Fourth brother is taking Mr. Zhao?"

"That's right, it was Prince Yu who brought Master Zhao." Qingyu replied.

For a moment, Mo Yifang put away the doubt in his eyes, grabbed the pigeon from the cage beside him, tied the letter paper in his hand to the pigeon's leg, and said, "Please fourth brother." "Also, send this letter to Xi'er immediately." .”

"Yes, master." Qingyu bowed and retreated.

After a while, I saw Prince Yu walking in with Zhao Yutang, the prefect of Yunzhou.

Mo Yi saw it, got up to greet him, bowed and said: "Fourth brother."

Zhao Yutang, the prefect of Yunzhou, also bowed and said: "I have seen the Eleventh Prince."

Mo Yi nodded and replied: "Lord Zhao, there is no need to be too polite."

Asked one by one: "Fourth brother, I don't know why you came here with Mr. Zhao today?"

Prince Yu nodded and said, "There is indeed something I want to discuss with you."

Turning to Zhao Yutang one by one, he said, "Lord Zhao, show the ledger to Eleven."

"Yes, my lord." Zhao Yutang took out a few ledgers from his baggage and put them on the desk.

Bending back, he said, "Eleventh Prince, this is the entry and exit account of the Yunbai River embankment repair funds allocated by the Yunzhou Water Superintendent over the years. Take a look."

Mo Yi glanced at Prince Yu suspiciously, walked to the desk, and looked at the ledger...

After a while, Zhao Yutang stepped forward and said, "Eleventh Prince, you are not familiar with the affairs of the water supervisor, so you may not be able to see the abnormality for a while."

Pointing to the account book one by one: "Eleventh Prince, take a look at this side, and then at this side."

Following Zhao Yutang's guidance, Mo Yi looked at them one by one, and after a moment, he was startled, and said, "In recent years, the repair funds from the imperial court have been delayed by two or three months every time!"

Zhao Yutang nodded when he heard the words and replied: "That's right, my lord, I am the ancestor of the Tianqi Dynasty, and all dynasties must build water conservancy projects, and we must not slack off."

"So since the founding of the country, the repair funds allocated by the imperial court to the state capitals have been recorded on time every year, so as to facilitate the state capitals to repair the dams in time."

Mo Yi's eyes froze instantly when he heard the words: "I understand, it seems that this is another root cause of the Yunbai River's embankment breach."

Turning her head to look at Prince Yu, she asked, "Fourth brother, how do you want to deal with this matter?"

Prince Yu's expression was solemn, and he said after a while: "Eleventh, this matter has a lot to do with it, so it's not appropriate to investigate it publicly."

"The meaning of the fourth brother is to let Mr. Zhao continue to investigate Yunzhou secretly, and then the fourth brother will send people to other state capitals to investigate secretly to see if there is such a situation in other places."

Mo Yi nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Okay, fourth brother, you should start the investigation first, and I will think of a way to see if I can start the investigation from other directions."

Prince Yu nodded and replied: "Okay, that's it." Turning his head to look at Zhao Yutang, he said: "Master Zhao, if you find any clues in the later period, hand over a copy to Eleven in time, so it will be convenient for ten." Check it out."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yutang bowed and replied: "Yes, my lord, I understand."
