Chapter 671 Southern Tour

At the Governor's Mansion, after waiting for a while, I saw Zhao Ling'er in official uniform.

The robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves is decorated with a square "pattern" on the chest and back, with cranes embroidered on it.

This is the style only a high-ranking official can have.

"Sir...Why are you here in Nantong?"

"Just taking a look around."

Someone brought tea, and Zhao Ling'er specially ordered a lot of snacks for the cat to eat.

"Thank you."

Mao'er had met Zhao Ling'er in Jing Mansion before.

At this time, he bowed his hands.

"I heard you were sick?"

"It's a small thing. After I went to Beijing to report on my work, I felt something strange in my body.

It's probably because I encountered some problems in my practice, so it doesn't matter. "

With Zhao Ling'er's level of cultivation, she basically won't get sick.

Even if you are sick, fear is still a heart disease.

But seeing that there was nothing unusual about her complexion, Li Ping'an didn't ask any more questions.

Looking at Li Pingan, there is another child.

Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but ask: "Sir, this child is..."

"Today, that's why I'm here."

Li Pingan explained the matter from beginning to end.

The new prefect died under mysterious circumstances, leaving only his only son.

Zhao Ling'er frowned, "I have been recuperating at home these two days, but I never thought that something like this would happen.

Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find out about this matter. "

"Then it's time to work."

"It's just a matter of time."

The matter was resolved smoothly.

As for the follow-up, it is a matter of officialdom.

A dignified prefect is not just a random person on the street.

He was killed just a few days after taking office.

Even if the local government does not conduct a thorough investigation, the capital city will still prosecute the crime.

Li Ping'an rejected Zhao Ling'er's invitation to stay in the Governor's Mansion.

After handing over Li Maocai's only son and the case to Zhao Ling'er.

After chatting for a few more words, they left.

Zhao Ling'er knew her husband's temperament, so she didn't say much.

He just said that when the matter comes to an end, he will be notified as soon as possible.

Li Ping'an took a few steps and suddenly turned around.

Look at Zhao Ling'er.

"Ling'er, what do you want to tell me?"

Zhao Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Why do you ask that, sir?"

Li Ping'an looked at her with a pair of blue eyes.

After a while, he said.

".....nothing."

One person, one cow and one cat left the Governor's Mansion.

Li Pingan looked back again.

"Moo~"

The old cow noticed something was wrong with him and barked.

what happened?

Li Ping'an shook his head, "...it's nothing."

...........

The time was pushed back one day.

Li Ping'an, Lao Niu and Mao'er got up early.

I was going to watch the sunrise at the top of Yunxia Mountain in Nantong.

"First level, second level, third level..."

The little girl counted the steps and jumped up one step at a time.

The braid behind her rose and fell with her movements.

Fairy Cat seemed to be playing a game with herself.

Jumping one step for the first time.

The second time it took two steps.

The third time you cross the third level.

So superimposed.

The ninth time...

"Whoo~"

The little girl took a deep breath.

The two white and tender little hands swing back and forth, and the knees bend.

With a "pop" sound, it ejected and started.

It actually seemed like he was flying, and he really jumped up the nine steps.

This surprised several people who were hiking together, and they all looked at the little girl in surprise.

Not to mention a child, I'm afraid even an adult wouldn't be able to do it.

The little girl put her hands on her hips, looking back and squinting her eyes.

He looked very satisfied.

Li Pingan and Lao Niu watched while walking.

An old man was driving an ox cart up the mountain.

However, halfway through, my old cow refused to go up.

No matter how hard you try, you won’t be driven away.

"Go! Go!"

"go!"

The old man whipped him several times, but the cow didn't move at all.

Looking at the cow behind Li Pingan.

There is no need to hold him or be driven behind with a whip.

Then he took it step by step honestly.

He couldn't help but say: "Little brother, you are such a good trainer.

Unlike my cow, the stubborn temper comes up again at every turn, and it won’t go away no matter how hard it is whipped. "

Li Ping'an smiled lightly, "My cows are also stubborn, they just divide their time."

"Why don't you even get a whip?" the old man asked.

Li Ping'an said helplessly: "If it can't smoke, I'm fine if it doesn't smoke?"

Old man:? ?

Continuing to go up, a Changbai Waterfall flies towards you.

There are waves of waves and smoke and water.

The mountain road winds.

Green grass, wild flowers and trees on both sides.

High and low, patchwork.

He was only halfway through when he suddenly refused to go any further.

And there are officers and soldiers occupying the road.

After asking around, I found out that it was His Majesty the Emperor who would be touring the south soon.

The first place we arrived was Nantong.

It's being overhauled above.

If the protection is not complete, His Majesty the Emperor will climb Yunxia Mountain.

Although the three provinces of Nantong are not particularly large, they are crucial.

It's the court's money bag.

In recent years, due to constant battles.

This led to growing dissatisfaction in the three provinces of Nantong and several peasant uprisings.

The main purpose of the empress's southern tour this time was probably to win over the gentry in the Nantong area and appease the people.

Li Ping'an quickly figured out the reason.

But why didn't Ling'er tell her about this when she was at the Governor's Mansion yesterday?

Maybe I forgot.

He didn't stay at her place too long either.

It's a pity that we didn't see the beautiful sunrise at the top of Yunxia Mountain this time.

Then return the same way,

When she returned to the inn where she stayed temporarily, she saw Zhao Ling'er wearing ordinary clothes sitting in the room.

"I came in without your permission, sir. I hope you won't be surprised."

"No problem, when did you come?"

"I came early, but I didn't see my husband, so I thought he had gone for a walk.

So, I read a book while waiting for my husband. "

Zhao Ling'er held in her hand an ancient book that Li Ping'an often read.

"It's been a long wait. I'm going to make a pot of tea."

"Sir, don't be stingy. Ling'er has been waiting for a long time and must have a cup of good tea."

Li Pingan smiled.

Zhao Ling'er suddenly noticed the cat wearing a turban and looking at her with some vigilance.

Ok?

Zhao Linger also looked at her.

The cat turned around and got into the bed.

He took out the money bag hidden under the bed and counted it twice.

After confirming that there was nothing missing, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The eyes looking at Zhao Ling'er softened a lot.

Zhao Ling'er suddenly felt funny, because she was afraid that she would steal her money.

"I heard that the empress is going to tour the south?" Li Ping'an said casually.

Zhao Ling'er's expression remained as usual: "Yes, I forgot to tell Mr. Qian'er."

"When will it arrive?"

“I guess it’s just these few days to catch up with the stall festival.

It stands to reason that on the [-]th day of the lunar month, the gods will be worshiped, and on the [-]th day of the lunar month, the dance will start.

In order to make His Majesty feel the festival.

This time it will be extended to eighteen to be able to unify Nuo.

Sir, how long do you plan to stay? "
