I am the county magistrate in Daming

Chapter 56 Huzhou Prefecture

"You..." The two spoke at the same time, and then closed their mouths tacitly.

Qian Duoduo is still working on his own calculations, calculating the money given by his godfather, plus the money he cheated from Xiao Qi, it is quite a sum.

Mu Qingtian wanted to ask Zhu Jingshou when he recognized Duoduo as his son, but Zhu Jingshou had been observing Mu Qingtian's expression to see if he was angry.

"You go ahead." Mu Qingtian backed down first.

Zhu Jingshou stepped forward, a little apprehensive, with admiration in his eyes, gently opened the curtain of Mu Qingtian's carriage, and said, "Qingqing, do you blame me?"

Mu Qingtian had no idea what Zhu Jingshou was talking about.Isn't it his fault? How could he have the audacity to blame Zhu Jingshou?

"I'd love to say I don't blame you, though."

Zhu Jingshou's mood dropped visibly to the naked eye, just as he was about to put down the curtain and retreat to the side of the road, Mu Qingtian suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"But I want to know why I'm blaming you for anything?"

Zhu Jingshou raised his head, looked at the smiling man in astonishment, and said, "Aren't you afraid of me, don't you blame me? I..."

Under Mu Qingtian's encouraging eyes, Zhu Jingshou went on to say: "You have also seen that, no matter the old, weak or children, I can strike without hesitation."

Hearing this, Duoduo touched the scabbed wound on his neck and smacked his lips.

It is quite profitable to exchange small injuries for gold.

Mu Qingtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Could it be that this is why you've been hiding from me these few days?"

Zhu Jingshou didn't speak or nodded, but judging from his expression, it was almost the same.

Thinking of the grievances he received from Zhu Jingshou a few days ago, as well as the sadness in his heart, Mu Qingtian became angry.It turned out that for such a trivial reason, he actually stayed alone in the empty boudoir, ah no, he ate for so long by himself!It is tolerable or unbearable!

He dragged Zhu Jingshou into the carriage and lowered the curtain.

Zhu Jingshou didn't use his strength, and naturally followed Mu Qingtian into the carriage, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Godmother." Seeing that the matter was settled, Duoduo knocked on the wood next to the window of the carriage.

"What's the matter?" Mu Qingtian glared at Zhu Jingshou, who was obediently sitting across from him, and raised his head to ask.

Duoduo stretched out his hand with a smile, and said, "Godmother, I've been running for so long, I'm hungry, and there's still a long way to go back."

Both Mu Qingtian and him belong to the fox family, how could they not see his little thoughts?Besides, Duoduo is the child he picked up, somehow recognized Zhu Jingshou as godfather, and called him godmother? !

"Running more is good for your physical and mental health."

Qian Duoduo's ears drooped immediately.

Zhu Jingshou was happy now, he generously took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to the window, and said to Qian Duoduo, "Take it and buy some steamed stuffed buns."

You buy buns with jade pendants! !When Mu Qingtian turned around, his eyes almost popped out.

"Thank you godfather." Duoduo hurried over and raised his hands to take the jade pendant, "I wish godfather and godmother a happy marriage for a hundred years."

After speaking, he ran away without any sign of being tired.

"Zhu Chang'an!" Mu Qingtian roared angrily.

"Qingqing, I'm here."

Looking at Zhu Jingshou's slightly aggrieved eyes, Mu Qingtian was at a loss for words.

He held his forehead and said helplessly, "When did you hook up with Duoduo?"

To be precise, it was Zhu Jingshou who Duoduo found by himself.

After Zhu Jingshou put Qian Duoduo in the house that day, he ignored him, and sat alone at the table in a daze, worrying.He never thought about what to do if Mu Qingtian didn't like him.

Qian Duoduo came here for a bet, and the purpose was naturally to repair the relationship between Zhu Jingshou and Mu Qingtian.He went to Nanfeng Tower to help others pass the news, so he naturally knew that men and men can also like each other, and they don't reject each other.

"One ingot of gold, I'll help you ask Master Mu."

Zhu Jingshou looked up at the young man in front of him, but ignored him.

"Then, a tael of silver is also enough." Duo Duo offered Zhu Jingshou a discount seemingly in embarrassment.

Zhu Jingshou still didn't speak, and there was already some impatience in his brows and eyes.

"No way." Duoduo was frustrated, "Obviously he is the prince, so stingy."

"Forget it, one money, one money head office, right?"

Zhu Jingshou was in a turmoil, and Qian Duoduo was chattering beside him, making him even more irritable.

With a "snap", the teacups on the table were all shifted, and the water that had already cooled down in the cups overflowed from the gap.

"Mu Qingtian let you go, you better be self-aware." He said indifferently.

"I know." Duoduo blinked, and he was exactly the same as Mu Qingtian, "So I will follow the lord from now on and recognize him as my master."

Zhu Jingshou frowned, as if he didn't like the boy in front of him.

When he saw Mu Qingtian hugging a stranger that night, his heart was filled with jealousy, and he wished he could cut off Duoduo's head with his sword.He is very possessive of Mu Qingtian, he hasn't even shared a horse with Qingqing yet, what is this young man of unknown origin!

"As long as one money, help you solve your troubles." When talking about money, Duoduo looks like a shrewd businessman.

Zhu Jingshou looked at him, and couldn't help thinking of Mu Qingtian in the past, who was also so cute and a little cunning.

"it is good."

Zhu Jingshou didn't know anything about his godfather, he just followed Mu Qingtian secretly to protect his safety after he left, and didn't intend to show up.Who knew that a lot of money would come out halfway, and they called "godfather" and "godmother" very fluently.

Faced with Mu Qingtian's questioning, Zhu Jingshou suddenly felt that it was not bad to have a godson, a stingy kid who could speak well and only cared about making money.The most important thing, as long as Mu Qingtian becomes Qian Duoduo's "godmother", then Qian Duoduo will no longer be his rival in love.

"Not long ago." Zhu Jingshou said, "I felt guilty, but I didn't dare to tell you. You have a good vision, and that child is smart and has good bones, so I just accepted it."

Mu Qingtian rushed over and pinched Zhu Jingshou's face.

"That's what I picked up!!"

If you want to call him a godfather, what a godmother, bah bah bah!

Seeing that Mu Qingtian didn't intend to get angry at all, Zhu Jingshou suddenly calmed down, and turned back to the high-spirited King Qing before.

"Don't pick up things on the road." He took out the big pillow and placed it between Mu Qingtian's waist and the table, only using his knees for support.

Mu Qingtian said angrily: "Then you or I picked it up in Ziming?"

"The legs are brought together."

"Yes, Lord Mu." The angel Zhu Jingshou Mu Qing called, as if he were happy.

He slowly took off Mu Qingtian's boots, separated his feet into the quilt on both sides, took his hand and kissed him secretly.

"I came to the door by myself, but Qingqing didn't pick it up."

Mu Qingtian wanted to say, "Are you a dog, you still smell it?", thinking of his identity, he still didn't say it.

"By the way, your identity..." Mu Qingtian was a little worried.

It was because of him that Zhu Jingshou adopted Qian Duoduo, but Zhu Jingshou had a special status, he was King Qing, and even the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty.Accepting a beggar as a godson would damage the face of the royal family.

"nothing."

Before, he just thought Qian Duoduo was joking, but now that the boy really reconciled him and Qingqing, he really thought of adopting her.

"Shuhui is from my mother's side, she is considered a relative." Zhu Jingshou reassured, "She doesn't have the name of princess, but I still treat her like a younger sister on weekdays."

"Oh—" Mu Qingtian became jealous, "Be a younger sister."

"Qingqing, don't think too much." Zhu Jingshou smiled and inserted his ten fingers into Mu Qingtian's, "I'm not interested in other people."

"Then who are you interested in?" Mu Qingtian was proud of being favored, and kept rubbing Zhu Jingshou's hip bones with his toes.

Zhu Jingshou's breathing became heavier, he pulled Mu Qingtian in front of him suddenly, and at the same time approached, whispering in a sexy and magnetic voice.

"Isn't Qingqing the clearest who I am interested in? Every time the little prince sees Qingqing, he is very excited."

He proudly raised his head, wanting to see Mu Qingtian's shy expression.

"Waist, waist, waist!! The waist is about to break!!!"

Mu Qingtian bared his teeth, with a grim expression, which had nothing to do with "shyness" at all.

Just now Zhu Jingshou pulled him violently, but he didn't respond, and stretched his waist directly.Master Mu is not only delicate, but his body flexibility is extremely poor.

Zhu Jingshou quickly let go of Mu Qingtian, helped him lie down on the opposite couch, and rubbed his waist with a suppressed smile.

"Zhu Chang'an, you, you remember!"

"Yeah." A laugh leaked from the corner of his mouth, "I remember it."

The matter of adopting Duoduo was settled like this.In name, he is Zhu Jingshou's godson, but in fact he does not enjoy any royal rights, and claims to be Mu Qingtian's bodyguard.

"Qingqing." Zhu Jingshou leaned against the window, smiled wryly, and said, "We even have children, you can't just throw them away."

Mu Qingtian lay on the couch, stuffing pastries into her mouth with drooping eyelids.

"What child, King Qing, don't talk nonsense."

Zhu Jingshou raised his eyebrows and said, "Handsome counts as one, and Duo Duo counts as one." Unexpectedly, there are two of them, and he became a father so quickly.

"Bah, bah, bah." Mu Qingtian spat out the unshaven date pits in the pastry.

"The handsome surname is Mu, that's my Mu Qingtian's wolf. Qian Duoduo's surname is Qian, what does it have to do with you?"

Of course Zhu Jingshou couldn't let Qian Duoduo change his surname to Zhu, not to mention whether the emperor brother agreed or not, the queen mother had to kill him first.

"Then Qingqing has to work hard."

……

Please the prince sober up.

"It's also my fault." Mu Qingtian patted the cake crumbs on his hands, and moved back to make room for Zhu Jingshou.

Zhu Jingshou followed the good advice, turned over and lay down on the bed, and hugged Mu Qingtian tightly face to face.

"I shouldn't have taken the initiative to bring Duoduo back. There will be no such thing next time."

"It's okay." Zhu Jingshou stroked Mu Qingtian's back from top to bottom.

"Qingqing can do anything, as long as you want, just let go and do it."

The huge Prince Qing's Mansion is your best and most solid backing.

Touching and touching, Zhu Jingshou's hands became dishonest.From the shoulder blade at the beginning, slowly down, to the deep waist...

Suddenly, Mu Qingtian sensed something was wrong.But now Zhu Jingshou pressed his hand on his chest, and the two of them were so tight together that they couldn't turn their heads to look at it.

"here."

Zhu Jingshou pressed it with a smirk, leaned into Mu Qingtian's ear and whispered, "Does Qingqing know?"

Mu Qingtian's whole body was tense, and he froze in Zhu Jingshou's arms, not daring to move, allowing Zhu Jingshou to act recklessly.

"You, you, you, you promise to go to the palace and then..."

"What else?" Zhu Jingshou lowered his head and kissed the dimple on Mu Qingtian's lips.

Mu Qingtian blushed and was speechless for a long time.He had never seen a pig run and had eaten pork before, so he had heard a little about what the two men were going to do.Being with Zhu Jingshou was so easy, he almost forgot that Zhu Jingshou was also a normal person with desires.

"This king will help Qingqing."

Zhu Jingshou said deliberately, and moved outside, letting go of Mu Qingtian's hand.

Mu Qingtian, who was so teased that he couldn't find Bei, couldn't see Zhu Jingshou's tricks, and quickly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Don't say it, if you dare to say it, I will bite you."

Zhu Jingshou smiled, opened his mouth slightly and stuck out the tip of his tongue to lick Mu Qingtian's palm.

"rogue……"

Zhu Jingshou didn't understand what rogue meant, but he guessed it was definitely not a good word.

"I didn't expect that Qingqing was already looking forward to it. It seems that I have to work hard." Zhu Jingshou rubbed Mu Qingtian left and right with his face.

"Obviously you said it first!" Mu Qing panicked.

"I'm just asking, does Qingqing know that you've starved yourself down?" Zhu Jingshou blinked innocently, "The meat on your butt is gone."

Mu Qingtian went down in one gulp, bit the side of Zhu Jingshou's neck, and then quickly turned over to face the wall, not giving him the slightest chance.

Hearing the wanton laughter behind him, Mu Qingtian suddenly realized that he showed his back to Zhu Jingshou, didn't he send it to the door by himself! !

Without giving Mu Qingtian a chance to repent, Zhu Jingshou spread his arms and pressed against the wall of the carriage, his chest was pressed against Mu Qingtian's back, and his feet were disheveledly wrapped around him.

"Qingqing is so good." He pulled off Mu Qingtian's collar, and seemed to feel that something was wrong, then loosened his strength and carefully pulled up the clothes, then lifted Mu Qingtian's hair and took a deep breath.

Abnormal! !Mu Qingtian kept struggling, trying to push away Zhu Jingshou who was like a mountain behind him.

But Zhu Jingshou was like a vine parasitizing him, the more he tried to break free, the tighter he entangled him.

How embarrassing!How could Mr. Mu be at a disadvantage!

His Royal Highness Prince Qing, who was still enjoying the fragrant and soft Mu Tofu, suddenly stopped, and asked Mu Qingtian who was no longer struggling, "Qingqing?"

Mu Qingtian still didn't move, as if he was angry.

"Qingqing, what's the matter with you?" Zhu Jingshou panicked and released the shackles on his arms.

"Zhu Jingshou." A cold voice came.

Zhu Jingshou's heart skipped a beat, just now it was "Chang'an", but now it is "Zhu Jingshou".

"I'm here." He swallowed, and changed from licking the oil openly to carefully.

"Don't you have anything to explain?" Mu Qingtian took advantage of the gap and turned around, looking indifferently at Zhu Jingshou who was obviously guilty.

"I like Qingqing the most." Zhu Jingshou leaned over to kiss him, trying to get away with it.

He didn't know why Mu Qingtian was angry, but according to Brother Huang, if his wife was angry, just coax her, don't say anything, prove it with actions!Silk and satin, thanks!Gem hairpin, bestow!Good wine, just use it!

Mu Qingtian pushed Zhu Jingshou away with a straight face, and said seriously: "I just remembered, there is something very important, I forgot to ask at the beginning."

"Just ask Qingqing, and I will answer." Zhu Jingshou continued to change the subject, "There are still many precious jade, gold and bead crowns in the treasury of the palace. When you go back, you can choose whichever you like."

"There are also cooks in the palace. If you are not used to the taste of Shuntian Mansion, I will invite some cooks from Suzhou Mansion to come over."

"Oh yes, you can't forget about being handsome."

"This king has long thought that the gardens in the palace are not pleasing to the eye. When the time comes, remove them all and turn them into pastures for Yingjun to run around at will."

Mu Qingtian was unmoved, and his eyes became sharper, as if to see through Zhu Jingshou's anxiety.

"Yes, the prince is under one person and under ten thousand people. Naturally, there are countless treasures and beauties in the palace."

The front is all foreshadowing, and the last is the key point.Although it is said that Zhu Jingshou is not close to female sex, he is still a prince, even if he does not choose, someone will give it to him.

Zhu Jingshou also put away his laughing thoughts, and said solemnly: "There are no beauties in the palace."

"Oh." Mu Qingtian nodded, "These are the beautiful maids, and the ladies who please the prince."

The more Mu Qingtian thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, wishing to bite off a layer of Zhu Jingshou's skin.He thought he was tolerant and magnanimous, and he could ignore Zhu Jingshou's past, but he really remembered - Zhu Jingshou's arms once hugged other women, and his face was kissed by others...

Sure enough, it is better to bite off a layer of skin.

Hearing Mu Qingtian's words of jealousy, Zhu Jingshou was so beautiful that he was in heaven.He suppressed his joy, tried his best to correct his attitude, and said: "It is true that there are no beauties in the palace now, but there will be in the future."

"Zhu Jingshou?! I'm asking you seriously."

He knew very well that Zhu Jingshou was not such a person, so the "beauty in the future" could only be him.

Zhu Jingshou felt a little regretful that he couldn't molested his lovely princess.

"The Empress Dowager has always wanted to put people in my house, but the emperor's brother and sister-in-law don't care much about my marriage."

After eradicating the Wan family, relying on the grievances with Concubine Wan Gui, Zhu Youtang thoroughly cleaned up the court after ascending the throne, which greatly weakened the power of his relatives, and made those people dare not act rashly again.Because of this, Zhu Jingshou's marriage can be decided by himself, and he doesn't have to think about so many marriages.

"Then did you accept it?" Mu Qingtian looked like he was about to come, as if Zhu Jingshou would kick him off the carriage as soon as he answered "yes".

Zhu Jingshou smiled and said, "Of course I didn't accept it."

"The Queen Mother will let it go?"

Of course not, so Zhu Jingshou has already planned to sacrifice himself, and when Mu Qingtian arrives in Shuntian Mansion, he will tell the Queen Mother that he has a hidden disease.

"Qingqing doesn't need to think so much." Zhu Jingshou picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Mu Qingtian's mouth, "Qingqing just needs to know that in this life, I will be just like Brother Huang, in the past, present, and future, there will only be one person by my side."

Mu Qingtian snorted twice, and said, "That's about the same."

The conversation turned.

"Where did you learn these skills?"

Mu Qingtian is ignorant of the world and love, and his performance is also in line with these.But Zhu Jingshou is obviously also a green melon egg, and he talks in a different way, and he is a good hooligan, as if he is very experienced.

"The book that Xiao Qi bought." When in doubt, throw the blame away!What is a subordinate? Is it important to have a princess?

It turned out to be Xiaoqi.Mu Qingtian smiled sadly, silently holding grudges.

"Bring the book, I want to read it too."

Zhu Jingshou can't be alone in the limelight, he will turn around and tease Zhu Jingshou next time!

"Of course it's good." Zhu Jingshou clasped his hands together, "It's only interesting when we watch it together. Qingqing and I really have a good understanding."

Xiao Qi, who was far away in the county government office, suddenly shivered.

"Look, if you don't keep your promise, the heavens will punish you." Duoduo circled around Xiao Qi, "Hurry up, hurry up, the promised money, I am willing to bet and admit defeat."

"No!" Xiao Qi clutched her purse tightly, her attitude was very firm.

"You are a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, you are a liar!"

"How can this be a lie?"

Stopping and stopping along the way, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou traveled for about a month before arriving in Huzhou.Wang Xun, the magistrate of Huzhou, went out of the city to greet him personally. Seeing Zhu Jingshou was like seeing a relative.

"The lower official has seen the prince."

"Exemption."

Zhu Jingshou got off the carriage first, waved to Wang Xun, and then opened the curtain, as if waiting for someone.

Wang Xun held his breath and focused his attention, he was very curious about the person in the carriage who wanted to be supported by King Qing himself, but he abided by etiquette and did not raise his head to look up.

I thought it would be the emperor, or the concubine who followed Zhu Jingshou, but I didn't expect it to be a young man with red lips and white teeth.

Wang Xun was very clever, and when he turned his head, he understood when he saw the uniform of the youth, and led the officials behind him and said loudly: "Welcome to the imperial envoy!"

In order to facilitate the handling of the case, Zhu Youtang specially gave Mu Qingtian the title of imperial envoy, so that he can be free to investigate in Huzhou Prefecture, without having to care about other forces.

Since he is the imperial envoy Mr. Mu, it should be reasonable to be helped down by the prince, right?

"No courtesy, everyone." Mu Qingtian said kindly, "I'm here just to investigate the case of the 'silkworm god killing'. We are all colleagues, and we should help each other, so there is no need to be too polite."

"What your lord said is true." Wang Xun stood up, flicked his sleeves, and approached cordially and politely, saying: "The city has prepared food, wine and a posthouse for the prince and lord, please rest for a while."

"The county magistrate of Anbai County has arrived at the Huzhou government office. Your lord can summon him at any time."

In just a few words, it can be seen that Wang Xun is not a simple person. He not only arranged for Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou, who were exhausted by boats and cars, but also did not delay the time of investigation, and was very active in the case.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Mu Qingtian smiled, turned his head to salute Zhu Jingshou, and said, "It's all up to the prince to decide."

"Then let's go to the city to rest for a few days."

Chongming County and Zimingli are both his territory, so Mu Qingtian doesn't need to hide his relationship with Zhu Jingshou.But when he arrived in Huzhou, as an imperial envoy, he was tricked by Li Guang to investigate the murder case, so he should be more careful in everything.When he was in the carriage, he had already agreed with Zhu Jingshou that there would never be any relationship beyond superiors and subordinates when he was outside.

Wang Xun was very quick in his work, and he prepared exactly two meals, one with the taste of Shuntian Prefecture in the north and one with the taste of Suzhou Prefecture in the south.The room is also the same, Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou's rooms are very close, but the decoration inside is completely different, to show the nobility of the prince.They occupy the first floor, the room is very quiet and will not be disturbed by other unrelated people.

Not long after drinking and eating, Zhu Jingshou waved away the maids and servants waiting outside, and swaggered into Mu Qingtian's room.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Mu Qingtian opened the door with a dignified expression on his face.

"Master Mu, this king suddenly remembered an important matter and needs to discuss it with you." Zhu Jingshou also said solemnly.

"So, please, my lord." Mu Qingtian let the door open to let Zhu Jingshou in.

As soon as the door was closed, Mu Qingtian was pushed against the wall and kissed him nicely.

Enjoying Zhu Jingshou's kiss, Mu Qingtian was distracted and thought inappropriately: It's better to be in ancient times, there is no monitoring, as long as you close the door, you can do whatever you want.

The tea in the cup was cold, Zhu Jingshou hadn't let go of Mu Qingtian, and even became more and more violent, kissing his neck from lips to his neck, holding his Adam's apple incessantly.

"My lord, what's the important thing?" Mu Qingtian said with difficulty.Every time he uttered a word, he felt the vibration in his throat spread to the tip of Zhu Jingshou's tongue.

"My lord is doing 'important things'." Zhu Jingshou said with a straight face.

Mu Qingtian laughed "puchi" and raised his head, making Zhu Jingshou more comfortable.

"So that's the case, the lower officials must cooperate well."

From Taicang Prefecture to Zimingli, and then to Chongming County, he had never traveled such a long distance.After a month in the carriage, Zhu Jingshou took good care of him, he was not sick, and he was in good spirits.

Zhu Jingshou was afraid that he would not be used to sitting in a carriage for such a long time, except that he was a little presumptuous on the first day and pestered Mu Qingtian to ask for it once, but he was basically restrained afterwards, just holding hands, kissing, and occasionally venting, it can be said to be very gentleman.

Mu Qingtian said "rascal" and "beast" in his mouth, but in his heart he liked Zhu Jingshou's closeness to him, the so-called "mouth dislikes honesty".After holding back for a month, he also felt a little commotion, which is why Zhu Jingshou kissed for so long without stopping.

He himself is still wrapped around Zhu Jingshou's waist and does not let go.

"Master Zhifu, lord, he, did he say anything?"

In the government office, it was heard that Zhu Jingshou had arrived in Huzhou, and the county magistrate of Anji County was restless.

He was not qualified to meet King Qing, so he could only stay in the government office and ask Wang Xun about the situation.

Wang Xun pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this time, the prince is not the protagonist."

He has also heard a little about things in Chongming County. He has been able to bring down a poisonous snake for ten years, and he has also had a fierce fight with King Qing. This Mu Qingtian is definitely not someone in the pool.Shi Houjian also communicated with him in advance, telling him not to neglect Mu Qingtian.

"My lord, please make it clear." County Magistrate An Bai said respectfully.

"You just have to tell the truth." Wang Xun didn't tell anything about Mu Qingtian.

To be honest, as the county magistrate of Anji County, An Bai is already very responsible.He has been educating the officials in the county government to be careful when encountering anything.If it hadn't been for the little official who found that the waterline of the boat was wrong when he was sailing, and insisted on boarding the boat to check, maybe they would not have found the body, and let that innocent person die in vain.

"Yes."

"Don't be nervous, you and I are not Li Guang's people, His Highness Prince Qing will not make things difficult for us." Wang Xun comforted.

"Thank you for your concern, An Bai has been taught."

It can be said that An Bai was cultivated by Wang Xun, so the relationship between the two is closer than others, and they are both teachers and friends.

Three days later, Mu Qingtian summoned An Bai, the magistrate of Anji County, to the post office to describe the specific circumstances of the silkworm murder case.

The body was discovered by a bureaucrat in Anji County.There are many people who raise silkworms in the county, but the farmers who grow mulberry trees and sell silkworm leaves are on the other side of the river.Generally, if silkworm farmers want to buy mulberry leaves, they have to row a boat to the other side and bring back the mulberry leaves.

In order to regulate the trade between the two sides, Anbai specially set up a small wharf at the port, and appointed officials to supervise the boatmen and merchants.

That day happened to be Hu Jinpeng's turn to be on duty. After inspecting the Wu family who came to buy mulberry leaves, he also punted to the other side.When returning to the voyage, he met the servant who came back after buying mulberry leaves.

There were only three people from the Wu family, and the boat almost sank into the river, as if it was loaded with something heavy.Usually when silkworm farmers come to buy mulberry leaves, there is always a quantity, no matter how much they buy, the boat will not be depressed too low.

He felt something was wrong, so he stopped the servants of Wu's family and rowed over to ask them what they had packed on board.

The servant was very innocent, saying that he only had the mulberry leaves he bought and a big carp that jumped into the boat by himself.

How big can a carp be?Officials couldn't do it, so they insisted on boarding the boat to check, but found a human leg in the cabin.

If there were human legs on board, someone must have died.Li Dian detained the three members of the Wu family, and immediately rushed back to the county government to report.

"The lower official was shocked when he heard this, and quickly sent someone to Wu's house to inquire."

"The master of the Wu family didn't know about this matter, and he was a little surprised when he saw the lower officials bring people to the door..."

"Wait." Mu Qingtian suddenly stopped An Bai, "How do you know he is surprised?"

It has been almost two months since the incident, and An Bai still remembers Master Wu's reaction at that time, which is very unusual.

An Bai said unhurriedly: "Master Wu thought it was the servants who came back, and he was busy asking them to feed the silkworms. He was still holding a silkworm sieve in his hand. When he saw the servant, he even dropped the sieve."

Mu Qingtian frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

An Bai asked cautiously: "My lord, do you want to continue?"

Zhu Jingshou looked at Mu Qingtian and said, "Continue."

"Yes."

"Master Wu was very cooperative, and directly asked the officials to go into the mansion to investigate. As a result, a corpse without legs appeared where the silkworm corpse should have been kept."

"The lower official ordered someone to compare it with the leg found on the boat, and it was exactly the same."

From this point of view, isn't Master Wu the biggest suspect?The leg was found on his servant's boat, and the body was also in the cellar of his mansion. Could it be that the murderer murdered someone, and then painstakingly dismembered the body, moved half to Wu's house, and hid the other half in the cabin?

Mu Qingtian didn't draw conclusions lightly, and then asked: "Then what's going on with 'silkworm god kills people'?"

An Bai's expression suddenly became serious, with some panic.

"Your Excellency was born in Suzhou Prefecture, so you may not know much about our Huzhou."

"Every household in Huzhou relies on silkworms for their livelihood. They respect the Son of Heaven and worship the Empress Silkworm Flower."

"Disrespect to Empress Canhua, but you will be punished by heaven." He murmured, completely different from just now.

Zhu Jingshou said impatiently, "Let's get to the point."

"Yes, yes." An Bai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "There is a corpse, and he could have been convicted, but the fault is that Mr. Wu quietly ordered someone to kill more than a dozen baskets of silkworms a few days ago. Hidden in the cellar."

"The cellar where the body was found?" Mu Qingtian asked.

"My lord is wise, that's right."

"But when I went down to the government, I only saw corpses, and there were no silkworms at all."

This is strange.

"The lower official asked the servants of the Wu family. At first, they were evasive and refused to tell the truth. They only spoke out under the threat of the official."

"It turned out that they all knew that Mr. Wu had dealt with many dead silkworms, but they were afraid that Empress Canhua would punish them, so no one dared to speak out."

"Everyone saw it..." Mu Qingtian pondered.

"Yes." An Bai touched the goosebumps on his arms, "That's why everyone said that Master Wu offended Empress Canhua, so Empress Canhua got angry."

Zhu Jingshou said sarcastically: "It is the Wu family who kills the silkworms, and it is also the Wu family who buried the silkworms. Could it be that the silkworm god is so old that he can't tell which one is the Wu family?"

"This..." An Bai hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "What the prince said is that it is naturally impossible for the Silkworm God to kill people, there must be some villains."

Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou exchanged glances, and then said: "Okay, you have worked hard today, go back."

"Thank you sir."

After sending An Bai away, Mu Qingtian turned over the teacup on the table, turned his back to Zhu Jingshou and said, "Do you think anyone is lying?"

"Yes." Zhu Jingshou was sure.

Before summoning An Bai, they visited the streets and alleys and asked many people.Everyone in Huzhou seems to have heard about the "silkworm god killing people" in Anji County, and they kept it secret.Some bold and good things will be mentioned twice, but they are all different.

Some said that the dead person suffered from this disaster because he had always abandoned Empress Canhua in disorder; some said that the dead person was Empress Canhua's mortal body, which was used to warn Master Wu.

But no matter how they inquired, they couldn't do without the words "Silkworm Flower Empress".

In Mu Qingtian's eyes, it is absolutely impossible for the "Silkworm God" to kill someone, someone must have tampered with it.Now he is most suspicious of Mr. Wu, because the "silkworm god murder" is too horrifying, almost covering up the fact that the body was found in his house.

The wider the news spread, the one who profited the most was Mr. Wu.

"An Bai."

Mu Qingtian was a little surprised, and asked, "Why An Bai?"

Zhu Jingshou smiled, opened another teacup, and said, "Because he didn't find anything."

Because nothing was found, An Bai had to lie to deal with Mu Qingtian's cross-examination.However, the lies he told were all harmless, they just aggravated the impression of "Empress Silkworm Flower" in their hearts.

"Wu family, county government." Zhu Jingshou pointed to two cups, "The murderer is among them."

Mu Qingtian nodded, he had the same opinion as Zhu Jingshou.

If you want to solve the case, the top priority is to find out the identity of the deceased.After a month, the Anji county government still didn't make any progress. This seemed to be a dead end, but in fact it was a huge loophole left by the murderer who was clever but was mistaken by cleverness.

About seven days after staying in the post house, an unexpected guest entered Mu Qingtian's room.

Zhu Jingshou looked at the small box that suddenly appeared on the table with a dark face, swept it to the ground, and hugged Mu Qingtian's shoulders tightly.

It was the medicine sent by Li Guang.Without anyone noticing, they sneaked into the post house, even entered Mu Qingtian's room, and gave him the antidote.

"There is a note." Mu Qingtian patted Zhu Jingshou's waist, signaling him not to be impatient.

Zhu Jingshou calmed down a little, but he still didn't dare to let go of Mu Qingtian, fearing that something might go wrong.

"I'll pick it up."

He knelt down to check the note carefully, and after confirming that there was no poison powder on it, he picked it up and read the words on it.

"Your Excellency is looking forward to your performance. If you successfully solve the case and attract the great joy of Long Yan, Your Excellency will find a way to transfer you to Shuntian Mansion."

Zhu Jingshou was so angry that he tore up the note in his hand.

"My king's people, it's not your turn to intervene!"

He wanted to bring Mu Qingtian back to Shuntian Mansion, but that would have to be Mu Qingtian's willingness to agree, rather than being forced.

"Don't be angry." Mu Qingtian was afraid that Zhu Jingshou would overturn the posthouse, so he kissed his side face hard to comfort him.

"Originally, you were going to take me to Shuntian Mansion, but now you are on the way."

A free ride is worthless.Moreover, Li Guang's status and rights are definitely not as high as Zhu Jingshou's. Zhu Jingshou took him to Shuntian Mansion in the name of the princess.But Li Guang couldn't do that. If he wanted to send himself to Shuntian Mansion, he had to be given an official position.

Alas, I didn't want to be an official when I came here, but I just wanted to be upright, but Zhu Jingshou booked Princess Qing, and now Li Guang wants to give him an official position in the imperial court.

Sure enough, gold can shine and glow everywhere.

Zhu Jingshou didn't bring any hidden guards with him on this trip, and now that the second pill has arrived, they have to send it to the Chongming county government for Yao Qin and other doctors to continue researching.

"Qingqing, who do you think would be better to come over?"

Mu Qingtian thought for a while and said, "Xiao San is steady, it's better to let him deliver the medicine. Xiao Qi is flexible and suitable for guarding the Chongming county government."

"Then do it."

Zhu Jingshou told Xiaosan to come to Suzhou Mansion as soon as possible by flying pigeons, and there should be no mistakes.

Mu Qingtian's own room must not be able to live. Zhu Jingshou waved his big hand, and there was an extra quilt and mattress in his room-in fact, he did not agree to add a quilt, but under Mu Qingtian's persecution, he finally compromised up.

"It's not fair!" Mu Qingtian yelled as he carried his quilt over and threw it on the bed.

"Why am I just an ordinary cloth quilt, and yours is goose down and silk!!"

Zhu Jingshou's eyes lit up, and he said, "Wang Xun doesn't know the relationship between us, so naturally it is impossible to prepare the same quilt." As he said, he lifted up the corner of the quilt and rubbed it on Mu Qingtian's face.

"Is it slippery?"

"Slippery!! Slippery and soft! Good Suhu~" Mu Qingtian fell on the bed and rolled happily a few times.

"That night, let's build a bed, okay?" Zhu Jingshou tempted.

"Not good." Mu Qingtian sat up, went straight to the door, and called a maid to go upstairs.

"My lord said that the room is too cold, and I need an extra bed."
