Nan Xi shook his head, "I'm not cold, really."

Then he asked: "Is Sun Fanggui dead?"

Li Qingmo nodded, "Someone fired a secret arrow."

Nan Xi wanted to check Sun Fanggui's body, but Li Qingmo refused.

"That kind of person doesn't deserve it," he said.

A quarter of an hour later, Lan Jue and the others brought back a body.

"Master, this person should be the one who sent the secret arrow, but he has been silenced." Lan Jue said.

Nan Xi went over and took a look, "Killed with one knife, no extra scars."

"Could they be from Prince Gong's Mansion?" Li Beimu just thought of those deaf and mute teenagers and the huge pit of bones, and he wanted to have Prince Gong's Mansion ransacked right now.

Xia Rui and Wen Ying searched the body from top to bottom, left and right, and couldn't find even a birthmark, let alone tokens.

"That's wrong." Xia Rui was confused: "It stands to reason that we have already closed the mountain. How did this person get in?"

Wen Ying said: "Perhaps he was already on the mountain before the mountain was closed? But the person who killed him may still be on the mountain."

Xia Rui and Lan Jue looked at each other and quickly led their men back to the mountain to continue searching.

"Are you hungry?" Li Qingmo asked, wrapping Nan Xi's hand and using the hot breath from his mouth to warm her.

Nan Xi shook his head: "You don't have to worry about me. Things here are important. Those children and the skeletons on the mountain need to be resettled."

Li Qingmo looked at her with some distress: "They are older than you."

He has no empathy. No matter how pitiful others are, it is their business, but his Nan'er cannot be hungry at all.

Nan Xi didn't say anything, but in fact he felt very relieved. He shook his head: "But I have you, but they only have an unhealthy body or even a skeleton left."

Li Qingmo naturally understood what she meant. This girl always thought of others in different ways.

"Then you go and wait inside. I'll give you this hand warmer. If the tea gets cold, call someone to get a new one. If you're sleepy, just get in the carriage. If you're scared, call me. I'll be there at any time..."

He kept chattering, and every word was full of concern and concern.

The corners of Nan Xi's mouth curved up, and he returned to the tent obediently.

At dawn one night, Xia Rui and Lan Jue both came back.

"Master, I didn't find that person." Xia Rui was a little unwilling.

Why did you let that person run away?

Lan Jue: "Sir, some of the skeletons in the bone pit have been eaten by wild animals and are incomplete. There are currently 786 complete skeletons."

Li Qingmo and Li Beimu both stayed up all night, but they didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Bring all the skeletons back, check the missing people, and find their families as much as possible." Li Qingmo ordered.

Even though I know it’s unlikely, I still have to give it a try.

"Search the Ancheng government office and we must find the account book that Sun Fanggui mentioned."

"Yes, sir."

The vast team returned to the city, and the army surrounded the government office.

According to Li Qingmo's previous order, Sun Lingling was forcibly put into a carriage and prepared to be sent to a nunnery to "recuperate".

She still didn't know what happened, and thought that she was still the daughter of the governor, so she was full of confidence.

"How dare you do this to me!"

"I am the daughter of the governor, and I want to see my father!"

All the government officials had been replaced by Li Qingmo's people. When they heard Sun Lingling's words, they said expressionlessly: "Sun Fanggui is dead."

Sun Lingling: "This is impossible! You lied to me! I want to see my father!"

One of them said: "The girl is still resting, don't disturb her."

Everyone knows that it is impossible to argue with the master, but it is absolutely impossible to argue with Miss Nan.

They stuffed a rag into Sun Lingling's mouth to stop her from screaming, then pushed the carriage and drove out of the city.When Nan Xi woke up, he was in the guest room of the government office. There were several hand warmers placed under the quilt. It was so warm that it made people reluctant to get up.

Maybe the sky has cleared up, and the sun shines in through the windows, forming small grids on the ground.

Blinking, she just sat up when the door was pushed open and Li Qingmo walked in with the light behind her.

He quickly closed the door to prevent the cold air from outside from slipping in.

"woke up?"

Li Qingmo walked to the bedside and first touched Nan Xi's forehead to make sure she didn't catch a cold or have a fever. Then she felt relieved.

Then asked: "Do you still want to sleep?"

Nan Xi shook his head, "How did I fall asleep yesterday?"

She actually had no impression at all.

Li Qingmo: "You were too tired and fell asleep in the tent. I carried you back."

He prepared thick winter clothes for Nan Xi.

The red and white colors match each other, exuding vitality.

"Have you found the account book?" Nan Xi asked during breakfast.

Li Qingmo shook his head: "Xia Rui and Lan Jue are still looking."

After the words fell, Li Beimu and Wen Ying pushed the door open and entered.

"Uncle Emperor, I found the account book." He handed over a thick notebook, "But there are some weird poems on it that I can't understand."

Li Qingmo took it, read it from beginning to end, and called Lan Jue over.

"Copy this to all the Shadow Guards. Within three days, I will know the secret of this ledger."

Lan Jue took it: "Yes, Master."

"Uncle Emperor, don't you decrypt it yourself?" Li Beimu was curious.

The emperor's uncle is so powerful, he will definitely be able to find the truth as quickly as possible.

Li Qingmo: "I do everything myself, so why do I need them?"

He looked at Li Beimu: "What you should do is not to do it yourself, but to let the most suitable people do the most suitable things. What you want is the results, and the people who work for you should be responsible for the process. Do you understand? ?”

"Understood." Li Beimu nodded.

Wen Ying once again saw the way the regent Dongyue educated the young emperor.

Yesterday was the first time in the Bone Pit.

Quickly and accurately letting the little emperor face the cruelty of the world, this strong method is like an urgent desire to delegate power.

Wen Ying's eyes on Li Qingmo couldn't help but be filled with suspicion and scrutiny.

Decentralization?

Is this person really willing to give up?

Li Qing's ink eyes flashed, and she quickly raised her eyes and glanced at Wen Ying with her cold eyes.

Their eyes met, Wen Ying spoke calmly and calmly: "Nan Nan, those who were seriously injured yesterday all recovered after taking your medicine, and a few others have fevers."

Nan Xi quickly swallowed the donkey meat steamed dumplings fed by Li Qingmo.

He stood up and wiped his mouth with a cloth, "I'll go take a look."

Wen Ying left with her, as if she didn't notice Li Qingmo's scrutinizing gaze, and was so calm that she couldn't see any flaws.

Li Beimu sat down and said, "Uncle Emperor, Sun Fanggui is dead. Who do you think is suitable for the vacancy of Ancheng Prefecture Yin?"

Li Qingmo withdrew his gaze and said, "You are already fifteen, and you will be able to take charge in five years. It is time to train your own people. Su Sijin, the new top scholar, is far-sighted and adaptable. He is very suitable for this position."

Li Beimu was puzzled: "The situation in Ancheng is so complicated. Shouldn't we choose someone who is experienced and intimidating? Su Sijin has just entered the official career and knows nothing. If he takes office, wouldn't it be difficult to get started? Is it difficult?”
