There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 611 Lanling and Nangong

Vientiane Shrine.

In the corridor in front of the main hall.

When Su Xian returned here, Princess Lanling had been waiting here for a long time.

Su Xian told the story of the imperial study one by one.

After hearing this, Li Youqing felt that most of the pressure in his heart had been removed. The charming face said with an excited smile: "This matter has been more than half successful!"

Su Xian was speechless and said: "Your Highness, even the internal guards and the Prison Department have no clue about the case of Hanjiacang City, sir..."

"Ben Gong believes in you!"

Princess Lanling looked serious.

Don't believe me, you are putting too much pressure on me... Su Xian smiled bitterly and could only respond: "Please rest assured, your highness, I will definitely be able to solve this case within thirty days."

"..."

While they were chatting, Nangong Wan'er suddenly arrived, followed by several palace maids, walking lightly. Her beauty was not much inferior to Princess Lanling.

"Wan'er pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and pays homage to...the Marquis of Fanyang County." Nangong Wan'er saluted respectively, her voice gentle and sweet.

"Why is sister Wan'er here?" Princess Lanling asked with a smile.

"Secretary of Nangong." Su Xian bowed in return. Nangong Wan'er was not only very well-mannered, but also dressed in a girlish style. Su Xian couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Nangong Wan'er noticed Su Xian's gaze and couldn't help but smile:

"His Majesty ordered me to meet with the Marquis of Fanyang County before I came here. His Majesty said that if the case cannot be solved within 30 days, he would retract General Zuo Wuwei's words. In fact, he said it to outsiders."

"Because Shao Si Kou, He Fuyin and others have also been solved by your Majesty within a time limit, your Majesty cannot favor one over the other..."

At this point, the Queen's instructions have actually been conveyed.

Nangong Wan'er thought for a while and added:
"Please don't put pressure on the Marquis of Fanyang County, and just solve the case with peace of mind. Your Majesty will definitely reward you generously after the incident is completed! At that time... the Marquis of Fanyang County... can also ask for... a few maids from your Majesty!"

"..."

After Nangong Wan'er finished speaking, she lowered her head and turned slightly.

Su Xian didn't notice this. After being slightly startled, he felt a lot more relaxed, and said to the direction of the imperial study room: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Princess Lanling noticed Nangong Wan'er's slight anomaly, and she was about to make fun of her, but she didn't want a little eunuch to come trotting over. After saluting, she said:

"Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty summoned the prime ministers to discuss matters in the main hall of the Vientiane Shrine. It is just right that the princess did not leave, saving the trouble of traveling back and forth."

"Another small court meeting? What's the purpose of this time?" Princess Lanling asked curiously.

"Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, envoys from the Kingdom of Shu have arrived in Beijing and will be entering the palace today to discuss purchasing grain from the Kingdom of Shu, so..."

"I see."

Princess Lanling nodded.

After the young eunuch retired, Su Xian looked at Princess Lanling and Nangong Wan'er and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave and go investigate the case first."

Princess Lanling nodded.

Nangong Wan'er immediately arranged for an old eunuch to follow Su Xian, and with the gold medal in his hand "as if I'm here in person", he can set foot anywhere in the palace city.

After watching Su Xian go away, Nangong Wan'er said quietly:

"Your Majesty is really kind to the Marquis of Fanyang County. I have served your Majesty for more than ten years, and I have never seen your Majesty treat a foreign minister so favorably."

Princess Lanling frowned slightly. Although she felt a little flustered and anxious, she turned to look at Nangong Wan'er and joked with a smile:
"Not only is Your Majesty good to Marquis Fan Yang, there are many people in this palace who are good to him."

Nangong Wan'er was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a smile:
"What about the people outside the palace? At least I can't do it, waiting alone in the corridor for most of the day."

"..."

……

Hanjiacang City is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city.

Su Xian is now in the "Da Nei" of the palace city. In terms of the shortest route to Hanjiacang City, it is to cross the "Harem", pass through the "Xuanwu Gate", and go through "Xuanwu City" or "Yaoyi City" etc. The small town enters Hanjiacang City.

But the harem is more sensitive after all.

Su Xian decided to take a detour.

He first exited the palace city through the "Yingtian Gate", walked eastward in the imperial city, passed by the East Palace, exited the imperial city through the "East Sun Gate", and then entered the East City through the "Chengfu Gate".

The East City is actually part of the Imperial City. Some government offices and warehouses are located in the East City, such as the Prison Department Office.

Remembering that the second arrester, Qian-faced Fox, seemed to be investigating the case, Su Xian sent someone to invite Qian-faced Fox when he passed by the Prison Department's Yamen.

After the two met, they rushed to the Hanjia Gate, the only gateway between Hanjiacang City and Dongcheng.

On the way, Su Xian briefly told the story of his meeting with the Queen, and the punishment that if he could not solve the case within thirty days, he would be taken back to General Zuo Wuwei.

"Brother, it seems you are more unlucky than me."

A strand of hair was flying unruly in front of Thousand-faced Fox's forehead. He patted Su Xian's shoulder hard and said with a smile:
"I'm better than you. If I can't solve the case, the bad old man will suffer, hahahaha..."

Su Xian looked at him sideways and said coldly:
"I will go to see Her Majesty the Queen later and tell her that in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the two arrests in investigating the case, Your Majesty would like to issue an order. If the case cannot be solved within thirty days, the two arrests will be punished and never go to the brothel to find women!"

When Qianmianhu heard this, he became anxious on the spot. He grabbed Su Xian's clothes and said with a smile: "Brother, good brother, don't, don't do this..."

Su Xian had long known what kind of character the Thousand-Faced Fox was. He was very similar to Lin Chuan, and his favorite thing was to hang out in brothels.

What he just said directly hit the Thousand Faced Fox's weakness.

However, he was just scaring the thousand-faced fox, and he would not really go to see the queen.

The thousand-faced fox said anxiously:
"Brother, don't, if I can't go to the brothel, the girls will commit suicide because they miss me. That's a life, brother, don't go to see Your Majesty..."

"..."

Su Xian was stunned when he heard this. The Thousand Faced Fox felt too good about himself, right?If he doesn't go to a brothel, will the girls commit suicide?
"I'll go see the Queen later. I have the gold medal given by the Queen in my hand, and I can go straight into the harem!" Su Xian immediately changed his mind.

"Brother, you must not do this!" Thousand-faced Fox cried sadly.

"..."

The two were playing around and finally approached "Hanjiamen".

As the huge city gate slowly opened with a heartbreaking creaking sound, a picture of desolation, dilapidation, and ruins slowly unfolded before their eyes!
Is this Hanjiacang City?
A giant granary that can hold the entire country’s food for several years?
But all Su Xian saw was ruins, with burnt marks everywhere. As the city gate slowly opened, a smell mixed with burning came to his face.

It has been several months since the water and fire broke out that night, but the burning smell in Hanjiacang City has not dissipated!

Su Xian and Qian Mian Hu both became serious.

No more jokes.

Su Xian suddenly remembered that it was precisely because of the burning of this huge granary that the upper and lower beams fell into a series of crises, and many people suffered from hunger because of this...

For food, he fought wits with the Liao Kingdom for a long time in Hebei Province.

So all crises originate from this.

Su Xian looked at the shocking huge ruins quietly, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.

He is now in charge of investigating the case, and will no longer just follow the Queen's order!

However, even the Internal Security Bureau and the Prison Department had no clue about this case. Can he really solve it?

No matter what, Su Xian is here in Hanjiacang City!
