Luo Shixing was still a little dazed when he first got up, but after reading the letter, he lost all drowsiness, so he hurried out to find Cheng Jingwei.

At this time, Cheng Jingwei just came back from the martial arts field after practicing, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Luo Shixing running out in his pajamas.

Probably because the sleeping appearance is not honest, the neckline of the pajamas is slightly pulled away, and the delicate collarbone can be seen faintly while walking.

Seeing this in the morning seemed a little irritating. Cheng Jingwei's throat moved, and he walked over and pulled up Luo Shixing's collar very naturally and said, "What happened? Did you have a nightmare? Be careful not to catch a cold."

The last four words were a bit of a cover-up, even if he knew that other than him in the yard were servants, he couldn't suppress his secret thoughts.

Luo Shixing didn't notice this, and said with a serious face, "Something really happened."

This time, no matter how many charming thoughts Cheng Jingwei had in his heart, they all flew away.

Half an hour later, the two of them gathered with Li Youdao in the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion.

It's not easy for Luo Shixing to show Princess Taiping's letter to Li Youdao, because in the letter, Princess Taiping also mentioned that she likes the gift he gave before, and the tone is more casual, and the topic is also a personal communication, so it is not suitable to say it.

Of course, this is not the main point, Li Youdao was also stunned for a moment after knowing it: "The inspector... fell to his death halfway?"

Luo Shixing nodded helplessly, who would have thought of it?

Li Youdao was a little puzzled: "Since such a new inspector, why didn't he come over?"

Luo Shixing said with some embarrassment: "In Beijing...everyone avoids it for fear that it will be too late. Everyone thinks that Jiaozhou's feng shui is not very good."

In fact, Luo Shixing's words were quite reserved, and Jingli was even thinking about whether the place in Jiaozhou was designed to subjugate Han officials?Why did none of the officials sent die a good death?

Oh, there is one, Liu Yanyou, if you calculate carefully, this one was also saved from death under the escort of Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei.

If it hadn't been for Cheng Jingwei who had been worried that something would happen and paid close attention to the situation in Jiaozhou City, and had chosen to rescue him as soon as the rebellion broke out, maybe Liu Yanyou would have confessed there as well.

If you use the words of later generations, Jiaozhou is probably not a black hole for officials.

Of course, some people are also far from the examples of Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei, but some people immediately said that these two children had no official status when they passed away, which means that the geomantic omen of this place is not compatible with those who are officials.

In the same way, it can be proved that the same is true for Li Youdao and others. They are fine because they were exiled in the past and have no official status now.

After this rumor spread in Luoyang, the family members of several bigwigs wrote letters to ask them not to serve as officials of the state capital. Before, they thought that Luo Shixing made Li Youdao and others not even work for nothing. They were quite critical. .

These people are the best in the family, and they have been wronged to go to govern a state, but now they don't even have a rank.

Now it seems that it is better to have no grade, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents!

Of course, these letters are still on the way, so Li Youdao and others are completely unaware of the news circulating in Beijing.

Now, just as no one wanted to send an assassin before, no one wants to send an inspector now.

This kind of feudal superstition said that Luo Shixing didn't believe it, but it was useless if he didn't believe it. Jingli believed it very much, and one after another there were officials who died halfway or in Jiaozhou, and their grades were not low. Even if he wanted to refute, he couldn't convince him. force.

After hearing this reason, Li Youdao couldn't help but reflect for a while. They Jiaozhou...is it really a bit evil?

Anyway, when everyone was worried about him, his mind was already on Jiaozhou, and his position was also on Jiaozhou.

So this idea just flashed through his mind, and soon he came back to his senses and asked: "The inspector before..."

Luo Shixing was silent for a while and said, "It is very likely that the inspector was really sent by Tubo."

Cheng Jingwei who was at the side suddenly said, "It could also be the Meng She Zhao or the Bin Sui Zhao."

They don't have many enemies in Jiaozhou, so they don't have a good relationship with these two places.

Although they stood on the side of the Tang Dynasty and regarded Tubo as a confidant, in fact, Tubo didn't necessarily value the small Jiaozhou. Perhaps in Tubo's eyes, the Western Regions and even Longyou were more valuable and existent than Jiaozhou.

If it doesn't work, there are natural dangers in the middle of Sichuan. As long as these places are taken down, Tubo's attack on the Tang Dynasty will be like entering a no-man's land.

Jiaozhou can't bring any protection to Datang, so it is true to say that no one cares.

Under such circumstances, it is not worthwhile for Tubo to send someone here to pretend to be an inspector. You must know that this matter is very dangerous. If something is wrong, it may lead to a war between the two countries.

Even though everyone now knows that the relationship between Tubo and Datang is tense, a spark can be ignited, but as long as the spark does not appear, it is impossible to really fight.

After hearing Cheng Jingwei's words, Luo Shixing's first reaction was: "But that slate is written in Tubo."

Cheng Jingwei asked back: "Otherwise, what words would they use?"

It was only then that Luo Shixing remembered that the Mengshe Edict did not have its own script. They either recorded in Chinese characters or in Tubo script. The current situation is that most of the Six Edicts have secretly favored Tubo, and it may be to prevent being discovered, so they use Tubo It is only natural for texts to convey information.

Li Youdao was a little strange: "Didn't Princess Taiping tell you what was written on that slate?"

At the beginning, Luo Shixing sent the stone slabs to Beijing.

Luo Shixing shook his head: "I didn't write it, I just said that I found someone to decipher it. I will write a letter to the princess later to see what's going on."

Now he feels a little regretful that he was too forward-looking and backward-looking at the time. If he had just kept him, nothing would have happened.

Cheng Jingwei seemed to understand his thoughts, and comforted him by saying, "The original decision was made by everyone, it has nothing to do with you, and before we know that the inspector is pretending, our approach is also the safest."

If the inspector is not a fake, then the matter of his possible collusion with Tubo still needs to be investigated by the court, and all they need to do is to send the evidence.

Luo Shixing's expression eased a lot when he heard it. Indeed, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it is useless for him to regret it.

He turned around and ran to the study to write a memorial to the court. Originally, he wanted to explain why he wrote the letter to Princess Taiping.

On the contrary, Cheng Jingwei said: "There is no need to specifically explain this. There are so many officials who communicate with the princess, and the princess has helped us a lot before. It is normal for you to have correspondence with her. If you explain it solemnly, it will be a bit self-evident."

When Luo Shixing thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason, so he didn't explain it at all, and only sent out the memorial after he made sure that there were no omissions.

At this time, the imperial court already knew about someone pretending to be an inspector, and the officials were shocked on the spot. This matter was taken advantage of by the other party because of a mistake in their arrangements.

Of course, the most important thing is that the officials of the Ministry of Officials still have to worry about being caught by the cruel official group headed by Zhou Xing, which may make their lives worse than death.

So this time they are not secretly dissatisfied with Princess Taiping's meddling in political affairs. They are also very grateful for the correspondence between Princess Taiping and Jiaozhou. Otherwise, Jiaozhou is really the inspector sent by the imperial court. How long will it take for the misunderstanding to be resolved? ?

Of course, some people felt that Luo Shixing was making a fuss out of a molehill. If he hadn't told Princess Taiping, this matter would not have been exposed.

It's just that this kind of thinking is just thinking about it secretly, and I dare not even say it.

This matter was originally not a big deal, or it wasn't worth letting Wu Zhao know about it, but if Princess Taiping knew it, it was equivalent to Shangguan Wan'er knowing about it, and Shangguan Wan'er knowing Wu Zhao would naturally know about it.

After hearing this, Wu Zhao asked with a cold expression, "Is that stone slab written in Tubo?"

Princess Taiping nodded and said: "My daughter has already found someone to crack it. It should be true, but I don't know what it means."

This should be a secret language, and I don't know what it means if I look at it with an ordinary interpreter.

Wu Zhao snorted coldly: "Tuban is getting bolder and bolder."

Princess Taiping was a little dissatisfied and said, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let Princess Wencheng marry."

If Princess Wencheng hadn't brought more advanced production tools and culture to Tubo, how could Tubo be the opponent of Datang now?

But Wu Zhao didn't say anything. Princess Wencheng's marriage was a foregone conclusion, not to mention that Princess Wencheng might have only promoted the development of Tubo. Without Princess Wencheng, Tubo could communicate with other countries and learn from Tang Dynasty.

When a country is strong and prosperous, it is certain that it wants more resources, especially the resources in the Central Plains are more abundant, and the wars in the Central Plains are also due to the geographical environment.

Wu Zhao would not pursue the past, so she said fairly: "At that time, I had my own feelings, so there is no need to worry too much, but...Luo Shixing said that he gave the fake inspector grain?"

After hearing this, Princess Taiping was very worried and said: "Yes, I think Tubo sent fake inspectors there because they knew the news."

Wu Zhao didn’t think so. Even the Tang court had just found out that Jiaozhou had a Linu No. [-] with higher production. It was impossible for Tubo to know the news so quickly. Just as Cheng Jingwei guessed, she also felt that this matter might not be true. It is what Tubo did.

Then she turned her head to follow Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Send an edict to let the people below pay attention to the movements of the Six Edicts."

As for the grain seeds, Wu Zhao was worried but not particularly worried. Since Luo Shixing had been on guard against the inspector before, did he really have no means of defense against such an important thing as grain seeds?

Just when Wu Zhao felt that it was impossible for Luo Shixing to hand over the grain seeds to the inspector, this matter was also being discussed at the Jiaozhou state capital meeting.

Everyone is very worried, this kind of grain is very important, how can we let Tubo take it away?It’s not okay to take away the six imperial edicts. Isn’t it reasonable for them to give it to Tubo after they have planted it?

Luo Shixing said calmly, "Don't worry, they won't grow it."

When everyone looked at him suspiciously, Luo Shixing showed a very sly smile: "The grains I give to the inspectors are all male sterile."
