The prince is hard to serve

Yan Wenhao, Mu Ziling and the others drove for several days, and finally arrived in Suzhou on the evening of the seventh day. It was only twenty or thirty kilometers away from Suzhou City, but due to the heavy rain that fell here a few days ago, The mud and rocks on the mountain were washed down by the rain and blocked the way, so they had to take a long detour.

The mountain road was difficult, so they could only slow down their pace, and because of this, they could not leave the woods at night, so they had to sleep directly in the woods, and set off again after dawn.

Entering September, the weather has gradually turned cooler, and once night falls, the cold air is even more overwhelming.

There is no place to hide in the wild, Yan Wenhao was worried that Mu Ziling would feel cold, so he put his arms around Mu Ziling's waist so that he could lean in his arms, while he quietly watched from behind. Hugging him quietly, the two hugged each other and sat in front of the fire, enjoying this rare relaxation and intimacy, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Although Jiang Xi attracted most of Shi Buyuan's attention in the name of "on behalf of the sky", making him think that Jiang Xi was the person sent by Emperor Yan to investigate him, but Shi Buyuan is a very cunning person after all. They can roughly guess their strategy, so they are still tense all the time along the way, not daring to relax for fear of making a mistake.

It has been many days since such an intimacy.

Feeling the warmth from the people behind him, and guessing what Yan Wenhao meant, a faint smile appeared in Mu Ziling's eyes. He relaxed and leaned against Yan Wenhao's arms, feeling warm in his heart.

His gaze fell on the fire not far away. Mu Ziling stared fixedly at the dancing flames for a while, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Wenhao, and then asked: "Tomorrow we will be able to go to Suzhou, when we arrive What are your plans after Suzhou, what are you going to do?"

Lowering his head, Yan Wenhao looked at Mu Ziling leaning in his arms, smiled at him again, and then told him in a gentle voice: "Jing Yu had already asked someone to buy a house in Suzhou City, When we enter the city tomorrow, we will live in it first, and discuss the rest after we check the situation in the city."

Couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Mu Ziling's lips, and after letting him go, Yan Wenhao said again: "Qianhe, you must remember that from tomorrow onwards, you and I will pretend to be brothers in front of others. I came back from the capital to visit relatives in Suzhou."

The Governor's Mansion is located in Suzhou City. After they enter the city, they must start to be cautious. Although Shi Buyuan's attention is now attracted by Jiang Xi, the officials in Jiangnan are all looking forward to Shi Buyuan's lead, and they will inevitably be vigilant .

Jiangnan is now full of dangers, especially Suzhou City, so it is still necessary to pay more attention.

"Well, I know."

After pondering for a while, Mu Ziling suddenly remembered something. He withdrew from Yan Wenhao's arms and sat face to face with Yan Wenhao. He sat up straight and said aloud: "Wenhao, I have An idea may be able to approach Shibuyuan as soon as possible."

To investigate the evidence of Shibuyuan's collusion with the Huns, they must try to get close to him, but for a while, they couldn't think of any good ideas.

His arms were suddenly empty, and Yan Wenhao's eyes flashed with reluctance, but instead of pulling Mu Ziling back into his arms, he threw a few sticks of firewood into the fire, and then turned his head to look at Mu Ziling Ling nodded slightly to him, and said softly: "Is there any way, please tell me modestly."

"Ah."

In response, Mu Ziling pondered for a while and said, "Wen Hao, I think we can pretend to be medicine vendors from the capital."

"Medicine vendor?"

Looking at Mu Ziling, Yan Wenhao looked a little puzzled, and he asked, "Why do you pretend to be a drug dealer instead of something else?"

Mu Ziling didn't answer him directly, but asked with a smile: "Wen Hao, although we traveled so fast and never stopped, do you still remember who were the people we met the most on this journey? "

After thinking about it in silence, after remembering what he had seen and heard on the road, Yan Wenhao was about to speak, but he heard Xie Jingyu's voice coming first, "It's a doctor and a medicinal material vendor."

Walking to sit down opposite Yan Wenhao and Mu Ziling, Xie Jingyu nodded to them, waved his folding fan and continued: "Especially after entering Yangzhou, there will be more doctors, even you Fang Langzhong, and look Come on, they are all coming towards Suzhou, so many doctors are gathered in Suzhou, presumably someone in Suzhou is seriously ill and is looking for a doctor everywhere."

"I've been to the city before and made some inquiries, and it's confirmed that this is indeed the case. There are three rich merchants in Jiangsu city, namely Li Qing, a salt merchant, Zhao Qi, a grain merchant, and Qin Qin, the owner of the No. [-] winery in the south of the Yangtze River. Yi. Among them, Qin Yi is the richest, and the other two seem to be afraid of him."

"I found out that the reason why so many doctors came to Suzhou was because Qin Yi's only younger brother contracted a strange disease, and he saw many doctors, but none of them could do anything about it and couldn't cure it , So he spent a lot of money, looking for famous doctors throughout the Central Plains, and any doctor who can save his brother will give ten thousand taels of gold as a reward."

"As for why those medicinal material vendors gathered here, it was also because Qin Yi had spent 10 taels of silver looking for a single medicinal material, but he did not disclose which medicinal material it was, but just made a vague generalization and wrote He wrote a poem for people to guess by themselves. He also asked that if someone finds it, he must send it to him for inspection. That's why so many vendors come from far away, just to give Qin the medicinal materials at hand. Yikan, get the 10 taels of silver."

Speaking of this, Xie Jingyu paused for a while, put away the folding fan, suppressed the smile on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Although this land in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous and rich, it seems that it is not just the collusion between officials and officials, but the cooperation between officials and businessmen." The same should be true, and the Governor's Mansion is located in Jiangsu City. I think Li Qing, Zhao Qi, and Qin Yi must have colluded with Shi Buyuan to some extent. Therefore, we may start to investigate from them. Shi Buyuan. If we pretend to be drug dealers, firstly, we will not attract suspicion, and secondly, we can also take this opportunity to get close to Qin Yi and start our investigation from him."

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao thought for a while, then nodded clearly, and he said: "In this case, let's pretend to be medicinal material vendors, and I will let the dark three prepare." After a pause, he wrinkled again. He raised his eyebrows, and asked in a low voice, "I just don't know what kind of medicinal material Qin Yi is looking for?"

Looking up at Xie Jingyu, Yan Wenhao asked, "Did you find out about this medicinal material just now?"

"Well, yes."

In response, Xie Jingyu nodded, and then he said a few words and read a poem, but after he finished speaking, he said in a very puzzled way: "That's all, it's really very vague, this Qin Yi It seems to be deliberately embarrassing others, but I don't know what he intends to do."

Lowering his eyes, Mu Ziling pondered over the few words Xie Jingyu said and the poem, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Yan Wenhao, and said, "Wen Hao, I thought of it, I Now I know what Qin Yi is looking for."

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu raised his eyebrows, and asked first, "What is it?"

Smiling at him, Mu Ziling said, "It's Angelica."

After hearing the words, Xie Jingyu was very surprised. He was full of doubts, and couldn't help asking: "Angelica? This is just a very common medicinal material, which is available in ordinary pharmacies. Why did Qin Yi spend so much time looking for it?"

Sitting at the side, Yan Wenhao also pondered over the lines of the poem and those few descriptions over and over again, and after a while, he also came up with the answer, followed by a smile, he shook Mu Ziling's hand, and shook his head , and then explained to Xie Jingyu: "Danggui is indeed common, but Qin Yi's purpose is not to find Danggui, but to find a person."

Tilting his head and Mu Ziling looked at each other, and after looking away, Yan Wenhao continued: "I think he spent 10 taels of silver to find this medicinal material, and tried his best to make the traffickers pawns." To pass this news out is to use the meaning of the name of the medicine to tell him that the person he is looking for should be returning."

"So that's how it is." Nodding his head, Xie Jingyu also understood. He thought for a while, and then asked curiously: "But, he is looking for, who is it?"

A trace of complexity flashed across Yan Wenhao's eyes, and Yan Wenhao slowly suppressed the smile on his face. He pondered for a long time, then sighed after a while, and said softly: "I think the person he is looking for should be secretly six."

"Dark six? Could it be that dark six is ​​a woman?" Mu Ziling looked at Yan Wenhao in surprise. He always thought that the dark guards were all men, but he didn't know that there were women among them.

"Yes." Nodding his head, Yan Wenhao's face was a bit serious, and he said, "An Liu's original name is Luo Yu, which is the name mentioned in this poem."
