Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 23 He pursues her
Luo Ning looked at Qin Zhao and said two words for a long time: "Let's go!"

There was a problem with Dali Temple. Luo Ning didn't know how to ride a horse.

It only takes an hour to go to Chuzhou to decide whether it is close or far. But no matter how fast, I can't do it myself!Make a carriage?Check the weather, can you go there in the evening?
Luo Ning wanted to cry but had no tears.

Qin Zhao held back his laughter behind her: "How does Mr. Luo plan to go to Chuzhou?"

Luo Ning heard the teasing tone in Qin Zhao's words and was so angry that she stamped her feet and ignored him. She vowed to learn how to ride a horse when she came back from Chuzhou to see if he dared to laugh at her again!
Feeling that there was suddenly no sound from behind, Luo Ning turned around and saw that Qin Zhao was gone. He was wondering in his heart when he saw Qin Zhao leading his horse from a distance!

Walking to Luo Ning's side, Qin Zhao said softly: "Believe me!" and got on his horse.

He stretched out his hand to Luoning: "Come up!"

Luo Ning then discovered that Qin Zhao had put an extended saddle on the horse and added a down pad.

Did he prepare it for himself in advance?

At this time, the sun was warming up, and Qin Zhao stretched out his hand to him in the backlight. Luo Ning was stunned and put his hand on his hand.

His hand was warm, holding her tightly.

Luo Ning stepped on the horse's stirrup, and Qin Zhao held her right hand with his left hand. The moment Luo Ning's feet were off the ground, he leaned over and picked her up. It was the first time Luo Ning rode on the horseback, and he couldn't help being frightened. Call.

When the ministers of Dali Temple heard Luo Ning's voice, they thought something had happened and ran out in panic.

Seeing Qin Zhaozheng hugging Luo Ning and not knowing what to say, everyone hurriedly hid behind the gate of Dali Temple.

Song Zhuer showed her little head behind the door and said to Meng Xiao deeply: "Master Qin is pursuing Master Luo!"

Meng Xiao smiled and nodded: "It seems that Dali Temple and Beizhen Fusi are not far away from getting married!"

Since the last time he had a drink, Master Qin's image in Meng Xiao's heart has become taller. He is a nice person!

So, as everyone watched with smiles, Qin Zhao hugged Luo Ning with one hand and beat the horse with the other, and the two of them ran all the way from Anyang City to Chuzhou.

The Chuzhou official envoy Hu Cheng knew Luo Ning, and when the Yamen servant came to report that Mr. Luo had arrived, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Lord Luo is here, he's so fast. The official has just sorted out the files."

Qin Zhao saw that he was an old man with a gray beard, a kind face, and a slight chin.

At this sight, Hu Chengke was shocked. He was wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife. This was a Jin Yiwei!
Although he doesn't know Qin Zhao, the royal guard beside the emperor is a famous man, who dares to neglect him!

"This is Mr. Qin Zhao, commander of the Jinyi Guards!" Luo Ning introduced: "Last time, I troubled Mr. Hu to print the accommodation registration at Yuelai Inn. You were a big help, and I haven't thanked you yet!"

"Everywhere, this is what the official should do! The official has also met Mr. Qin!" Hu Cheng saluted hurriedly.

After the polite remarks, Luo Ning went straight to the point: "Sir, what's going on with Luo Guowu's case?"

Hu Cheng took the two people to the inner hall and took the file: "Luo Guowu came to Chuzhou to buy Ziyanluo. Unexpectedly, when he was preparing to set off yesterday morning, he discovered that all the Ziyanluo had been stolen."

"K?"

"Yes, what was purchased this time was a reward for foreigners. The Ministry of Rites has a supervisor who has been supervising it. It is said that the transaction is completed and the things are transported back to Anyang City. However, the things were stolen and the Ministry of Rites did not dare to make the decision, so it was reported to the emperor immediately. !”

Hu Cheng saw that although Luo Ning was Luo Guowu's niece, he was not familiar with Luo Guowu's business affairs, so he patiently explained.

"There should be a lot of rewards, so many things are gone without a word?" Luo Ning was puzzled.

"So, the lower officials didn't dare to make the decision, so they had to wait for the emperor's decree. Then they had no choice but to arrest Luo Guowu first, but he didn't know anything!" Hu Cheng looked embarrassed and anxious.

"Take us to meet Luo Guowu!" Qin Zhao said: "Listen to what the person involved has to say! Mr. Luo is here and he will definitely solve the case. Mr. Hu doesn't have to worry!"

"That's right, that's right, Mr. Luo must solve this case, otherwise I, the Chuzhou official, will also be responsible. I can retire and return to my hometown in one year..."

After all, he was involved in official circles, and Qin Zhao immediately understood what Hu Cheng meant. He wanted to avoid anything happening before retiring.

Seeing that Luo Ning remained calm, Qin Zhao smoothed things over for her: "Yes, as long as Lord Hu cooperates, Lord Luo will definitely be able to solve this case!"

"At that time, Lord Qin, please speak a few more words of kindness in front of the emperor, hehe, a few words of kindness!"

Hu Cheng was busy trying to please him, and without stopping here, he took the two of them to the government prison!

When Luo Guowu saw Luo Ning, he couldn't help crying: "Ning'er, Ning'er is here? Just come."

Luo Ning had been riding a horse all morning, and her legs were shaking. Although Qin Zhao kept hugging her and trying to make her comfortable, she still felt very tired and endured it.

I didn't even sit down when I entered the government office. I was in a bad mood at this time. When I saw Luo Guowu's appearance, I was a little angry.

Qin Zhao suddenly noticed something was wrong with Luo Ning's expression, so he quickly put a chair behind her, and he also dragged a chair to sit next to her.

Turning around, he told Hu Cheng: "Go and prepare some refreshments!"

Luo Ning's bad mood was extinguished instantly:

"Second uncle, please tell me in detail what's going on! This is Mr. Qin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, who is here specifically for your case and is here to help you!"

Luo Ning sat down on the chair, feeling much better. He glanced at Qin Zhao gratefully, not expecting him to be so attentive.

Luo Guowu looked aggrieved: "Ning'er, I don't know what happened. I was about to leave yesterday, but I found that all the purple smokes I purchased were gone!"

"Second uncle, start over and tell me carefully, what time, what to do, and who was there when the incident happened. If you have any questions, I will interrupt you at any time!"

Luo Ning has met countless parties, and the description of the case is very simple. At the same time, he added his own associations and judgments, which added a lot of invisible troubles to solving the case!
"Then I'll start from the beginning!"

Luo Guowu calmed down: "Ning'er should know that I am the emperor's merchant. I took over the emperor's mission half a month ago. The emperor wants to reward the foreigner, so he asked me to prepare twenty pieces of purple smoke..."

After Luo Guowu finished speaking, Luo Ning understood.

Half a month ago, Luo Guowu accepted the emperor's mission and came to Chuzhou to prepare twenty pieces of purple smoke. What is purple smoke?It is a fabric made with the unique technology of Zhao State. It is expensive and of high quality. Chuzhou is the place of production.

After Luo Guowu became an imperial merchant, his business expanded. He had branches in several state capitals of Zhao State, and Chuzhou was one of them. In other words, if you want to find Ziyanluo in Chuzhou, you can only find Luo Guowu's Taihefang.

Luo Guowu accepted the task, contacted the supplier in Chuzhou, prepared twenty pieces of cloth, stored the cloth in his warehouse in Chuzhou, and discussed with the officials of the Ministry of Rites to return to Anyang City yesterday.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the warehouse early yesterday morning, the door of the warehouse was opened, and the purple smoke inside was gone!

I searched around and found that all the other goods in the warehouse were still there, except for the purple smoke. I called the cook who was looking at the warehouse over, and found out that he had been drugged that night and he had just woken up.

Luo Guowu was so frightened that he accepted the imperial order. Regardless of whether the goods were delivered to Anyang City or not, losing something was a serious crime.

What's more, [-] horses of purple smoke are already the largest quantity in the Zhao country, and if you want to get them together in a short time, it will be impossible if you don't have a year!

After straightening his thoughts again, Luo Guowu felt desperate again: "Ning'er, this is what happened before and after!"

"Purple smoke is scarce. If it is stolen, will it be sold on the market?" Luo Ning asked.

"Ziyanluo is a high-end fabric that is very expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people. Therefore, after my acquisition, only a small part of it is left in circulation. Unless it is stolen and stored until new products are released next year, .” Luo Guowu explained.

"How long did it take from the first time Zi Yanluo was put into the warehouse to last night?"

"It took almost three days. Because the procurement time was uncertain, it took three days to gather twenty horses."

"Who is it that sends the purchased Ziyanluo to the warehouse every day?"

"I've been there several times, Chen Tian has been there, and Yanran has been there too." Speaking of the last name, Luo Guowu's voice changed obviously.

Only then did Luo Ning remember that beside Luo Guowu, there was a girl named Li Yanran who made her grandmother angry.

"Second uncle, there is a case now. I shouldn't be involved in your family affairs, but now everyone around you has to investigate. This girl Yanran..."

Qin Zhao took a look at Luo Ning's face. He was very unhappy. He was suppressing his anger in his impatience. He didn't know who this girl Yanran was to make Master Luo so unhappy.

Luo Guowu sighed: "To tell you the truth, Ning'er, Yan Ran is really a good girl, she has been with me for a year, she doesn't want to enter the mansion, she doesn't want a title, and she refuses all the gold and silver money I give, just follow me wholeheartedly !”

Luo Ning sneered in her heart, she didn't believe that there is love for no reason in the world. In a year, a young girl is willing to follow someone who can be her father? ?

Luo Guowu was two years younger than his father, and was in his middle age. Although he was in good health and had a rosy complexion, he had a shrewd and calculating look in his eyes as he traveled around the business world, and his body was also somewhat put on by his long-term drinking.

She doesn’t want fame or money, so what does she want?
"Because of Miss Yanran, my second aunt went back to the house several times to cry to my grandfather, and asked my second uncle to find a way as soon as possible so that both grandmother and second aunt don't have to deal with it. On the other hand, I also give Miss Yanran an explanation."

Qin Zhao understood. It turned out that Yanran was following Luo Guowu. Hearing Luo Ning's words, he knew it in his heart!

"Who is Chen Tian?" Luo Ning asked next.

"It's my shopkeeper at Taihefang in Chuzhou." Luo Guowu replied.

"Tell me about yesterday morning!" Luo Ning sighed.

"Yesterday Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites and I walked to the warehouse after we came out of the inn. Chen Tian was waiting for us in the warehouse in advance, but when we walked halfway, we saw Chen Tian running over and said that the cook guarding the warehouse was dizzy. The warehouse Open the door!”

"There was only one cook in the warehouse at that time?" Luo Ning asked.

"Yes, because I have the key here, and I am still taking chances. If I lose the other ones, it will be fine. As long as the purple smoke is here, it will be fine."

"Need a key to the warehouse?"

"There are two keys to the door, usually one for Chen Tian and one for me, but after the purple smoke entered the warehouse, I was afraid of something happening, so I reinforced it and put it here with me!"

Luo Ning nodded:

"Second uncle, who are the suppliers of Ziyanluo?"

"Chen Tian has a list. Ning'er suspects them?"
