No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 94 A sudden inspiration! Terrified all over!
The county magistrate's name is Wu Shaohai, a native of Gyeongju, which is not far from the capital. The envoy team will pass through Gyeongju when entering the capital.
From the beginning of suspicion, Lu Lu immediately asked his men to investigate this person's background. From family to officialdom, Wu Shaohai could not be said to be clean. How could he be able to sit in the position of Shanshan County's prime minister? How could it be so simple? After checking again, this person has no connection with Jiang Nan.
Not to mention that the geographical location of Shandan itself is very important. It is not easy to hold the position of county magistrate. It is inevitable to contact the military camp and handle the affairs between them. As long as it involves the military affairs of important places, people who are not officials should be officials. Someone you can trust.
Lu Lu was tired of these people who were putting on a show, and acted quite realistically: "Master Wu, you have an official rank, how can you kneel down and worship me! You want to kill me so obviously, the only person you want to deal with is my father... …”
At this time, Wu Shaohai had already stood up. Hearing Lu Lu's words, he suddenly raised his head in fright and shouted: "Miss, what are you talking about? When did the official want Miss's life?! Didn't Miss come here today to ask Are you to blame for Yu Ge's delay?" The lady kneeling next to him was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, her eyes full of horror.
How did his master become the wealthy young lady who was plotting to murder Mr. Lu? !
"Isn't it your fault that Yu Ge's delay was caused by you?" Lu Lu frowned.
Shandan is more than two thousand miles away from Chang'an. It takes more than a month for a caravan to take the official road, and it takes three days at the fastest to send a message on horseback. However, it only takes one or two days for a trained carrier pigeon. When she learned that there were people moving in Lancang Mountain, After catching the bandits, they decided to stay in the village for a while, waiting for news about Dad.
If my father's people didn't pick her up on the designated day, they would definitely send a message to Chang'an. When my father finds out, he will check with all parties and make sure that she is still in the mountain unit and acting as planned. Then he will know that something unexpected has happened, and he will definitely do it later. Will find another way to send the message.
But it took nearly ten days for her father's letter to reach her.
Wu Shaohai's face turned pale and he kept shouting injustice: "Miss Lu, that is His Majesty's royal pigeon. How many of the junior officials dared to intercept the news of the royal pigeon! The barracks received the letter and immediately passed the news to me. After receiving the news, I I immediately went to the barracks to get it, and when I learned that it was Mr. Lu who had written a letter to Miss Lu, I immediately handed the letter to the county magistrate." In order to clear away his "grievances," Wu Shaohai quickly narrated the incident in full to defend himself. : "The junior official did conceal the news of the young lady's coming to the city from the county magistrate. It was just the junior official's selfishness. He wanted to build a good relationship with Mr. Lu through Miss Lu, but he never thought that the young lady would not see outsiders. The county magistrate's promotion has been decided. Not long ago, he set off to work in the south. Hearing that the young lady did not like to be disturbed, the junior official did not mention the young lady's affairs to the county magistrate, nor did he inquire about her whereabouts. Therefore, after receiving the letter, the county magistrate spent two days searching. Some time ago, We also argued about it.”
The time was right. On the sixth day of the lunar month, she did not arrive at the pick-up point on time. The person who picked him up immediately sent a message back to Chang'an. My father immediately went to the palace to borrow the royal pigeon from His Majesty. The royal pigeon arrived on the 10th, and the people in the barracks immediately handed the letter to the county. Cheng Wu Shaohai, Wu Shaohai then handed it over to the county magistrate. It took the county magistrate two or three days to find her traces, and the letter was delivered to her on the 14th.
"Miss, it is true that the junior official and Mr. Zhou have a private grudge. It is nothing more than fame and fortune. The junior official is just eager for quick success, but he has never thought of murdering the young lady!!" Wu Shaohai was talking, and his wife was crazy on the side. Nodding, "Tell the truth, Miss, since Mr. Zhou's transfer letter was handed down, there has been some slack in county affairs. As the county magistrate, I usually take care of county affairs and supervise military affairs. If there is no emergency military affairs, I will report the news to the capital of the state." Procrastination is inevitable.”
Lu Lu felt in a daze that he had thought of something, but he couldn't catch the flash of inspiration.
As long as you check the records of the barracks, you can know whether the county magistrate has lied. Since he dared to say this and said it in such detail, it seems that what he said is true.
Could it be that she guessed wrong and Wu Shaohai just jumped out by mistake to stir up trouble for those behind the plan?
Her father arranged for her to take a detour on the Lancang Mountain Ancient Road, and there were people waiting around the sixth day of the lunar month. If it hadn't been for the two brothers from the Li family who reminded her one after another, she would not have taken the bandits to heart. But even if they had reminded her, to be honest, the people around her The guards didn't take it seriously, after all, the risk of staying was also very high.
Compared to the bandits she had never seen before, she already knew how terrifying the clan's power was, especially on the road before they left the south of the Yangtze River. They seemed to be walking in the dark, moving forward in panic, fearing unknown death. Not white.
Although the solar eclipse came suddenly, His Majesty would definitely not miss this opportunity. It was a good excuse to continue to implement the policy of restricting Buddhist monks after winter. If it were not for this unexpected celestial phenomenon, according to the previous plan, she could still stay at her maternal ancestor's house. It is possible to return to Beijing before the end of the year.
According to her temperament, if she couldn't wait for a letter from her father and postponed the time until the end, she would still follow the original plan and walk on the ancient road.
For the same reason, none of them had ever seen bandits. Encountering bandits was a matter of probability for them, but being assassinated on official roads was a certainty. Besides, more than fifty guards could not protect a little girl like her. ?
In the view of the guards, even if there are bandits in Liancang Mountain, since the government began to suppress the bandits, groups and groups of threatening bandits have been suppressed by the government. The existing bandits are no longer relevant and are not worthy of fear.
I heard that Fang Ying'an, the governor of Ganzhou, also took the ancient road. Didn't he go back with all his hair and tail?
But when she thought about taking that ancient road, for some reason, her heart kept beating so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of her throat.
Last night, she woke up from her dream again, and dreamed that she was walking in Lancang Mountain, which was quiet and strange. This was a scene she had dreamed about several times, absurd yet true.
The difference is that the dream has expanded a little more. She can't remember the details. The only thing that remains unforgettable is the knife that suddenly penetrated her heart. Even when I think about it during the day, the heartbreaking pain still lingers in my heart, as if she really died in the mountains.
Until now, as long as she could still see the Lancang Mountains, she was shrouded in shadow, and the feeling of suffocation lingered.
No one would believe her, and she could feel the reality of her dreams more and more. Although others were not sure whether the bandits would really appear when they were passing by, as long as she entered Lancang Mountain, there would be people who tried every means to get her. Her life.
Lu Lu came out of the county magistrate's house and sat in the carriage thinking about all the doubts. The last Sudoku he had been obsessed with before was no longer interesting anymore.
If he’s not the county magistrate, could he be the county magistrate?
The key is who can delay the delivery of the letter.
According to what Wu Shaohai said, the county magistrate had been looking for her for two or three days. Did he deliberately not remind her, or was the magistrate deliberately delaying the delivery of the letter? If he wanted to find her, it would not have taken two or three days to find her.
The carriages walked slowly on the streets. Recently, the number of people in the county has increased sharply, and there are lively scenes everywhere in the county. The carriages on the road had to move forward slowly, and gradually a long queue formed.
I don't know why the front is blocked.
The female guard who was driving the carriage turned and asked Lu Lu in the carriage: "Miss, there's a traffic jam ahead. Should we go to Miss Dan's place? If not, let's go back to the inn and rest!" As soon as the young lady returned to the inn, she changed her clothes and rushed to the county. Cheng family, you must be tired after struggling for so long.
Lu Lu's head hurt a little. She rubbed her eyebrows and said, "If you don't go back to the inn, go to your cousin's place."
"Miss, our carriage is small. How about taking a different route to Miss Dan's place?"
"Um……"
The carriage finally left the main street and turned into alleys extending in all directions.
This shows the advantage of the compact carriage, which allows it to travel on roads that most horse-drawn carriages cannot.
At this time, Lu Lu suddenly had an idea, and a chill spread all over his body.
Her throat rolled as she thought of another possibility.
If the county magistrate and the county magistrate did not deliberately delay the time, whether they were selfish or unable to find her, but if these were indeed accidents, then what she should care about is not the result of the delay in the letter, but the delay in the letter. What will happen as a result of this accident?
Thinking about it this way, before she got the news from her father, the people who wanted her life had to urge her to go up the mountain, and before she received the letter...
Lu Lu was trembling with fear at the thought of this possibility, and her knees and feet could not help trembling as she sat upright. She looked around the small carriage. Outside the wall were guards guarding her safety day and night.
When a flash of inspiration occurred, she suddenly recalled the details in her dream. The knife that stabbed her heart seemed to be a black ring-headed knife...
What troubled her was that she couldn't recall any other details.
hiss……
Lu Lu didn't know why he was willing to believe in such an illusory thing as a dream and doubt the people around him! !
They are all maids who have protected her for many years, how could they harm her! !
Suddenly she covered her heart.
There was a feeling of confusion in the chest, and then the heart beat wildly, and the intuition of danger was particularly sharp.
In the small street, which is much smaller than the main street, many people are laughing and chatting, and the content of the conversation is inseparable from the hot topics these days.
She covered her heart and asked calmly: "When did the Uighur envoys enter Shandan? They said that the envoy team had appeared in the outer suburbs, but is it true?"
The female guard driving the carriage naturally heard what the people on the road said, "They say that the outer suburbs are only half a day away from the county. General Yang will probably be able to enter the city tomorrow afternoon. I don't know if the Huihe envoy can stay in the county for a long time." Wait. Miss, how can we contact General Yang? Should Dali and the others go out of the city to discuss the details of the rendezvous with General Yang?"
"No need, just wait until General Yang comes to the city to make arrangements." No one knew how uneasy she felt under her calm tone. Her heart was beating against her chest, and it was about to explode like a firecracker.
She quietly opened a corner of the window screen and looked at the guards following the car.
Due to the narrow road, the guards had to shrink their range and move close to the carriage.
There is no need to bring all the guards when traveling in the county, so most of the male guards stay at the inn, while all the female guards follow them.
After entering the city, weapons are not allowed to be exposed, and they are all left in the inn. Now you can no longer see the ring-headed sword that they often wear on their bodies.
That chilling intuition of crisis had made the hairs all over her body stand up. She didn't know that a trip to the northwest could inspire this ability.
In the peaceful street scene, she only felt that the storm was coming in the next moment. The looming Lancang Mountain in the distance seemed to remind her that she was in deep danger and had never been safe.
Lu Lu put down the window screen and shouted to stop the carriage. Somehow, another destination came to mind: "Before going to my cousin's place, let's go to the alley shop in the west. Xunji's house will ask for some more numerical questions."
The female guard who was holding the reins in the front room outside the car door couldn't help but laugh: "Miss, except for sleeping, you spend the rest of the time solving problems like a demon. You have almost finished writing the third picture before you realize that the last frame has appeared. The numbers actually repeated!! Who knows if Mr. Ji made a mistake in setting the question?"
At the critical moment, for some reason, her mind only recalled the alley she had only visited once or twice, and the simple shop house she had never set foot in. It seemed that there was a chance for her to survive.
Now that he was suspicious, Lu Lu quickly analyzed the people around him in his mind.
In addition to the identity of a bodyguard, the female guard has another level of identity, and that is the personal maids of her home in the capital. Among the twelve maids who serve her at home, six of them have been with her for nearly ten years, and the remaining six were arranged by her father before she left. They also know martial arts.
Many of the male guards were my dad's Fang He in the capital. There were seventy-two Fang He around my dad, and they usually followed him. When she went to Jiangnan this time, my dad sent eighteen of them to guard the perimeter. For her safety, no one can get close to her, and there are eighteen people who are His Majesty's people, and they can't get close either...
Ji Qingyue was perfecting the details on the drawing when his palms suddenly became hot, so hot that he couldn't hold the charcoal pencil. He had to drop the charcoal pencil and turn over his hands. It was not obvious from the outside, but the hot palms felt like they were being put down. It's like being hit with a soldering iron, it's unbearable.
No wonder I woke up from a deep sleep last time, feeling so hot that my heart hurt.
Could it be that something is going to happen to the daughter of the chief minister's family again? !
But now he is the only one at home, and he can't get out! !
Ji Qingyue just felt a big headache. Could it be that the ending could not be changed? Could the rich lady still not be able to escape the fate of death? !
"Knock, knock, knock—" Someone knocked on the door.
Li Erlang took his two children to the carpenter's shop in a nearby alley. Sanlang should still be in the academy now.
Should he respond aloud?
The person who knocked on the door politely announced his door: "Is the husband of the Ji family here? I have something to ask about at my master's house. I wonder if I can disturb you for a moment?"
When Ji Qing hesitated more, he heard the neighbor next door enthusiastically answering: "The husband of the Ji family is at home! He took his younger brother to the academy to register in the afternoon and came back. The second son of the Li family who was with him went out with his two children. He has not yet Go out, if you don’t answer the door now, Xu is asleep! The house door is unlocked, I’ll go in and take a look for you!!”
The neighbor's aunt was so enthusiastic that Ji Qingyue felt helpless, and he had no choice but to speak out.
Just as he was about to respond, he heard the guard knocking on the door rejecting the neighbor's kindness: "No need, in that case..."
Ji Qingyue's palms were still hot, reminding him that the most important thing now was not to let them go!
He was worried that the carriage was about to leave, so he didn't care about staying in the painting and stood on the bridge and shouted. Fortunately, the house is not big, and the voice can still be heard clearly: "Sorry!! It's not convenient for me to go out now, what do you want from me?! Just open the door and come in to talk!!"
The female guard wondered what inconvenience a grown man could have. Thinking about it, she opened the door of the house. The wooden door leading to the courtyard door at the end of the corridor was open. It seemed that the person was not in the courtyard, but in the closed bedroom.
The female guard quickly repeated her intention. Ji Qing could not see the situation outside and only asked: "Is your master in the car now?"
When the female guard heard this, she felt displeased and felt that Ji Qingyue was being rude. Just as she was about to scold him, she heard a young lady's voice coming from the carriage behind her: "May I ask, can I go to the yard to ask questions?"
"Miss!"
Lu Lu had to delay for a while: "It doesn't matter, I'll just bring a face towel. If I can't solve the problem, I won't be able to rest assured even in my dreams."
As the carriage door opened, Lu Lu was wrapped in a thick scarf covering half of her face, but she was dressed in a luxurious silk skirt and had a head full of hairpins, which always showed her extraordinary status.
With the support of the female guard, she stepped out of the carriage facing the eyes of the neighbors. "Dali, you and Sanqian can drive the carriage to the alley and wait there, and let them guard it."
Six female personal guards followed Lu Lu into the courtyard, while the others guarded the door.
In the clean and tidy yard, the sunlight slanted in. Lu Lu found a place to take shelter from the sun, facing the closed bedroom door and window.
It was not what they thought. There was not just a wall between her and Ji Qingyue, but an insurmountable barrier.
Ji Qingyue was also betting that they wouldn't barge in rudely.
Fortunately, they really had no intention of coming in for inspection, and seemed to know the rules and did not approach the bedroom.
