Chapter 144

Although Fang Cheng reluctantly accepted the imperial decree, but some human beings cannot ignore it. After handing over the imperial decree to his subordinates, he took out a piece of silver and handed it to the other party, saying: "Master Scout is traveling all the way, why not take a rest here? "

I originally heard that I was very dissatisfied when I came to Kushui County as a scout, but I didn't expect this unexpected surprise. After weighing my money, my attitude softened a lot, "I want to go back and resume my duties, so I won't delay. Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy will be here in two days." It’s coming soon, so don’t neglect it.”

After saying that, he got on his horse and left.

Two days later, Fang Cheng's brows became tighter and tighter. Originally, he wanted to blame Song Qingyou for the crime. As long as he was well organized, it would be fine for any imperial envoy to investigate.

But now that the notices have been sent out, even if Fang Cheng doesn't recognize them, they can't stop the people's talking. In desperation, they can only wave their hands to let the people disperse, and go back to the house full of depression to think about countermeasures.

This imperial decree was like a timely rain giving Song Qingyou a chance. Since the imperial envoy from the capital will definitely investigate the case with absolute justice, this is a good opportunity to clean up Fangcheng!
After getting rid of the crime, Song Qingyou rushed to the field of vegetables as soon as possible. Sure enough, no one took care of them these days, and the originally lush green vegetables became limp and half-dead, which made Song Qingyou feel bad.

Fangfu.

Fang Cheng, who also realized that the imperial envoy was not easy to fool, paced back and forth in the main hall, thinking about how the news of the county magistrate's death spread. The first thing he suspected was Song Qingyou and his party. After all, they were exiled from the capital.

But then I thought about it, if it was really related to Song Qingyou, how could she be so passive before, so Fang Cheng habitually wanted to go to the master to discuss it, but then he realized that he had not seen him for a long time, and his heart sank.

Two days passed in a hurry, and the imperial envoy arrived in Kushui County in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Fangcheng had brought people to wait at the gate of the county seat, and he saw a group of mighty people and horses from a distance. He couldn't help but be speechless, and his desire to climb up became stronger.

Soon the imperial envoy's carriage arrived at the door, Fang Cheng quickly straightened his clothes, bowed and said: "Fang Cheng, a military household in Kushui County, sees the imperial envoy! The place to stay has been prepared for the lord, so why don't you take a rest if you are too tired to travel. "

"Lord Fang, you don't need to be too polite." A low-pitched male voice sounded young in the carriage, "Let's go to the government office first."

Soon a group of people came to the county government office. The imperial envoy was also a pragmatic person. He interrupted Fang Cheng's desire to continue the conversation and asked directly, "The county magistrate died suddenly. Why didn't you report it in time?"

Originally, Fang Cheng was relieved when he saw that the imperial envoy was only a young man in his twenties. He thought that it would be easier to fool this kind of people who are usually children of aristocratic families who obtain official positions through their families. Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, after having a bad guess before, he went to Xiao Yiran to discuss the countermeasures. Fang Cheng replied in fear: "Because of the severe drought in the county these days, the people in the county are trying to solve the disaster. When the county magistrate Ask me to take good care of the people, now that the disaster has been solved with great difficulty and the grain harvest is gratifying, but this kind of thing does not happen, I am also extremely sad."

The imperial envoy looked at Fang Cheng, his face unchanged at all, and asked, "Where is the county magistrate's body?"

Fang Cheng pretended to wipe away his tears, and replied: "My lord, since I learned of the accident of the county magistrate, I have sent people out of the city to look for it, but so far nothing has been found."

The imperial envoy seemed to believe Fang Cheng's words, "In the bitter cold place of Kushui County, the county government officials don't think they have much experience in handling such cases, so the emperor authorized the chief of the Jingji Division to come and assist. After that, you just follow his orders."

After finishing the words, a man walked out from behind the imperial envoy. He was dressed in a black robe and wore a long narrow-bladed knife on his waist. .

The man cupped his hands and said, "I'm going to show off my power and ask all my colleagues to cooperate sincerely."

The news of the imperial envoy's arrival quickly spread in Kushui County, and Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu naturally knew about it. While watering the vegetable seedlings that were finally rescued, Song Qingyou joked: "I heard that this imperial envoy is from the capital. "

"So?" Xiao Qishu did what he was doing without raising his head.

"You said—" Song Qingyou straightened up and stretched, "Do you think this imperial envoy is an acquaintance? If it happens, then God will help me!"

Xiao Qishu thought about the behavior of those children from aristocratic families, shook his head and said: "The people I know well are basically leading troops to garrison at the border. The people I know well are all playboys. How could they come to such a bitter and cold place? .”

Song Qingyou pouted, "What a pity." She also wanted to take this opportunity to kill Fang Cheng!
I thought that since the imperial envoy came down to investigate, I would have nothing to do with myself, but I didn't expect that soon there would be a yamen servant in the small courtyard, saying that the imperial envoy wanted to see Xiao Qishu by name.

Not knowing what kind of medicine this adult bought in the gourd, Song Qingyou decided to go with Xiao Qishu.

After the headhunter Zhanwei greeted everyone, he ordered Fangcheng to leave with a few yamen servants, presumably to go to the corpse of the county magistrate, and the imperial envoy sent someone to move all the account books of Kushui County in recent years to the government yamen. Then he asked to see Xiao Qishu by name.

Seeing the beautifully decorated carriages and fat and strong horses parked outside the government office, Xiao Qishu felt as if he had passed away.

After entering the government office, even Xiao Qishu couldn't hide his excitement when he saw the person sitting on the main seat, and shouted in an unbelievable tone: "Washing?!"

Hearing the voice, the person in the main seat put down the account book, and was also extremely excited, "Xiao Qishu! You can make it easier for me to find you!"

It turned out that the imperial envoy was Cui Xizhuo, the youngest general of Wuwei in the dynasty. He and Xiao Qishu were classmates. They grew up together and joined the army together since their enlightenment. Later, one went to the north, and the other went to west side.

This year happened to be the time when the garrison in the west was changing defenses. Cui Xizhuo returned to Beijing with the marshal to report on his duties. All the Xiao family under his command were exiled to Kushui County, and it happened that the news of the county magistrate also spread to Beijing.

Although the county magistrate was only a seventh-rank sesame official, attacking and killing the imperial court official in broad daylight was undoubtedly a provocation. The emperor was furious and ordered to find the murderer. Cui Xizhuo invited an imperial envoy to investigate.

After reminiscing about the old days, Cui Xizhuo also noticed Song Qingyou who was standing aside. When he was in the army, he heard that Xiao Qishu got married suddenly. Since they met for the first time, he bowed politely and said, "This is Mrs. Sister-in-law."

Song Qingyou, who was only in her early twenties after time travelling, was not used to being called Mrs. Sister-in-law suddenly, "Ah... hello, hello, my name is Song Qingyou."
