Guizhen

Chapter 196 It's Not Me

Prefect Mao stared round his eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Have harmed the imperial court official? Who is it?"

In this land, apart from him and Gao Tang who can be called the court order officials, who else is?

"Xiao Lu." Gao Tang replied solemnly: "She was murdered in the post house, and now she is unconscious in the post house."

"Xiao Lu?" Mao Zhifu frowned, looked directly at Gao Tang for a moment, and suddenly remembered that "Xiao Lu" refers to Lu Wu.What kind of court official is she?It's just a small handyman with a Wudewei waist badge.

"Magistrate Mao doesn't know something." Gao Tang patiently explained to him, "The villain originally came after me. But I didn't want Xiao Lu to swallow my hot milk by mistake, so that his body was extremely poisonous." He raised his eyes. , with fierce eyes, "I said that I harmed the court officials, am I wrong?"

So... that makes all the difference.Prefect Mao's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he said with a sneer: "No, no."

"I have already ordered Suzhou Wu Dewei to investigate the source of the milk, and I would like to ask the magistrate Mao to make it easier." Gao Tang was commanding and powerful.

Mao Zhifu's throat was dry and his tongue was astringent. After hesitating for a moment, he put on the prefect's airs again, and talked to Gao Tang in an official tone, "The arresters in the government office are doing their best to track down the real culprit who murdered Taoist Yuyang Temple. I want to help Gao Tang The commander is giving me a helping hand, but he has more than enough heart and not enough strength." The prince has never liked Wu Dewei, if he helps, he will definitely make him displeased.At this juncture, there must be no side effects.Everything is about the prince.

Gao Tang raised his eyebrows lightly, and said lightly: "Before I came, I asked my confidant to send a letter back to the capital to report the matter to His Majesty truthfully. I think His Majesty will send someone to investigate thoroughly soon." Pausing for a moment, he suddenly bent The corners of his lips curled up, "I wrote about the case of Yuyang Temple by the way."

Mao Zhifu's hands on his knees trembled.

It's bad, it's bad!
It would be a great disadvantage to him if the high-sugar secret report arrives in His Majesty's hands before the prince's letter.

Gao Tang calmly said, "If the prefect can help you, I will definitely say something nice for you in front of His Majesty. On the contrary..." His shoulders trembled, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "I think you can tell the difference Take it easy."

Prefect Mao swallowed his saliva, "Yes, yes." Lowering his eyes, he secretly groaned.

This is really a dilemma.Both ends are masters and cannot be offended.But he... is really satisfied with the two masters who can't serve him.Let's stick to Lao Gao's side first, after all, he sent the letter out.I will go to the palace tomorrow to explain to the prince.

Gao Tang nodded slightly, "You are a smart person." Standing up, he said condescendingly to the magistrate Mao: "Please ask your lord to gather the manpower. I will just take them away."

Prefect Mao was unwilling but also helpless.Before he had time to change his clothes, he took someone to the front yard to order generals.

Gao Tang frowned deeply from the beginning to the end.He can be sure that Xiao Lu was not poisoned, but was hit by a Gu or a talisman.It's something he doesn't understand anyway.

Mu Xiang couldn't figure it out either.

However, the matter has come to this point, and we must not sit still.Gao Tang mobilizes Suzhou Wudewei to protect Lu Zhen, and at the same time brings Ake to borrow someone from Mao Zhifu.What Governor Mao didn't know was that Gao Tang's borrowing was fake, but it was actually a bluff.He disclosed Feng'er who wrote the letter back to Beijing to Mao Zhifu, in order to use Mao Zhifu's mouth to tell Wu Wang, so that he could cast a mouse.

Gao Tang took a deep breath.It's not certain whether the goblin can make it to the capital smoothly.

This is also impossible.Xiao Lu needs someone to take care of her, and Mu Xiang cannot leave.Ake will learn not to use Xiaolu's tree branch in a short while.The only ones who can be counted on are goblins.

I only hope that Oda is a good fairy who can be used.

……

"Ms. Muxiang..." Tian Luojing looked at Muxiang with red eyes, "If it wasn't for me... the girl would be fine."

It was all to blame for bringing the milk here, if it drank it secretly, it would be the one lying on the bed now instead of the girl.Two lines of hot tears slipped from the corners of the eyes to the cheeks, and the snail spirit choked up and said, "I really want to suffer for the girl."

Mu Xiang also shed tears, "Stop gossiping." She sniffed and urged, "Take off quickly. After returning to Beijing, hand over the letter to the Elder, and he will present it to His Majesty in his own way."

The snail essence nodded, "Don't worry, Ms. Muxiang. I have memorized the formulas by heart. Brother Snail showed me the map before I came here. I shouldn't get lost... right?"

It really has no foundation.The mountains are long and the rivers are far away, and we are on the road alone.Not even a person to discuss.What if the flight misses and the important event is delayed?

"Okay, it's useless to say more." Mu Xiang pushed it onto the "branch" and stood still, "Fly, fly. It's time to arrive in the capital at dawn."

The snail essence wiped away tears, tightened the little bundle tied around her body, and waved to Mu Xiang, "Sister Mu Xiang, I'm leaving. If I make a mistake on the way, you must tell the girl that I am definitely not On purpose..."

"Don't say those depressing words!" Mu Xiang said with a fierce face, "Go, go. Our wealth and life are all tied to you. No matter what, you have to fly to the capital!"

The snail spirit responded softly, and chanted the mantra, the "branch" suddenly rose into the air, and swayed into the dark night under Mu Xiang's gaze.

Mu Xiang wiped her face and turned to go upstairs.

All the people in the post house were locked in the backyard and interrogated by Wu Dewei in turn.

There are not many Wudewei in Suzhou, and there are only 16 people including Ake and Gaotang.There are still a few who have not received the letter when they are on business abroad, or they are too late to come back after receiving the letter.However, Wu Dewei is capable, and each of them can handle five or six orders.When they arrived at the post house, they didn't have a lot of time to work, so they made people panic.There was no punishment at all, and the postman who was closed in the backyard burst into tears and shouted for injustice.

Mu Xiang pursed her lips tightly and hummed bitterly.The girl is really wronged.Alright, drinking a bowl of milk will make you forget everything.

She used a talisman to detect it, but it was not poisoned.Instead, he was hit by a talisman or a Gu.What it is, she can't figure it out for the time being.I have to use a few more talismans to try slowly, to explore slowly.

……

The post house was busy all night, before dawn, the news spread to Wu Wang's mansion.

Song Xiao just got up and hadn't washed yet. He was wearing his pajamas and his hair was loose. He walked briskly to the study with his satin soft-soled shoes, and sat down on his buttocks. He picked up Bai Yuchan and rubbed it heavily. gone?"

Heizi shrunk his neck and peeked at the Penglai Sanren sitting opposite Song Xiao.

"It's so rumored." Penglai Sanren changed his attire, looking like a rich man.

What are rumors like this?Song Xiao rubbed Bai Yuchan's hand and paused, "Didn't you do it?"

The Penglai Sanren shook his head slowly, "No." He pointed at Heizi, "It was already late at night when he delivered the letter to me."

It wasn't that he was procrastinating on purpose.It takes too much effort to disguise yourself.Heizi bowed down, and replied cautiously: "I'm afraid that Lu Wu will notice something, so..."

Song Xiao listened impatiently, and cut off his words, "Okay, I got it."
