Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

It was an unexpected joy for Lu Xiao to meet again after saying goodbye to you.There are many outsiders here, Lu Xiao suppressed her joyful mood, couldn't hide her smile, and tried her best to pretend that Qi Jiansi and Qi Jiansi were only acquainted a few times and not familiar with each other.

The yamen of Yunzhou Mansion had already packed up guest rooms for the imperial envoys who came from afar. After Qi Jiansi and his party were settled down, Lu Xiao sent everyone around him away, saying that the imperial envoys were exhausted and needed to rest for a while.However, everyone retreated one by one, but Lu Zhizhou gently closed the door and stayed in the guest room.

Only then did Lu Xiao notice that the familiar boy who came with Qi Jiansi was the one who gave him the food box years ago.Qi Jiansi explained: "Meng Ye is my personal bodyguard. He has good fist and kick skills. I will take him with me when I go out this time."

That Meng Ye's appearance was very tough, his age was similar to Ning Huai's, but he was even more serious than his master.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "I've seen this little brother Meng."

"Lu, Mr. Lu, just call the little Meng Ye."

Lu Xiao burst out laughing, but she really had a bluffing face for nothing, she looked a little bit when she was not talking, she blushed after teasing a few words, and stuttered when she spoke.

Lu Xiao gradually became more playful: "When I saw Brother Meng last time, he was very quick-spoken."

Meng Ye stood behind his master at a loss, Qi Jiansi helped him out of the predicament: "Meng Ye, you should go and guard outside the door first."

It's really in vain. He worried for a long time and tried his best to come to Yunzhou.As a result, the family lives like a duck to water, and can tease everyone they see, so happy.

There were only the two of them left in the room. Qi Jiansi's teeth became more sour as he thought about it, and said expressionlessly, "Meng Ye has a thin skin and is young, so don't make fun of him."

Lu Xiao looked at the beautiful woman intently, and was suddenly criticized, so she immediately took it to heart.He squatted down halfway, looked earnestly from the strands of his hair to the tip of his chin, and then stared at the pair of phoenix eyes from bottom to top, and said slowly: "Brother Qi, I am younger than you."

The room was already extremely quiet, Lu Xiao moved over inch by inch, snuggled up to Qi Jiansi's legs, and looked at him without blinking.

There was no answer for a long while, and the beauty's cheeks were reddened by the heat. Lu Xiao smiled and said, "I see that your master and servant have the same temperament. Meng Ye is thin-skinned, so you don't have to give up."

Qi Jiansi's heart was beating like a drum, but fortunately he still had a taut face to support him, and he stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to mess around!"

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business, why are you here?" Lu Xiao asked directly without teasing him.

"Your letter to Ning Huai... the nest is in the curtain. But I don't know what kind of danger you are in, so I invited the imperial decree to come to Yunzhou."

Lu Xiao's eyes were serious: "Your Majesty didn't ask you anything, did you?"

He was worried that Qi Jiansi's request for an order without warning would make Emperor Yunkang suspicious of him.

Qi Jiansi shook his head, and relayed what he said to Lu Xiao, of course, omitting the flickering part.

Lu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Zhiyu."

"You and I are friends. If you are in trouble, I won't worry about it. You don't need to say thanks." Qi Jiansi clenched his fingers unconsciously, and sat back side by side with Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao leaned forward and tightened the window, and said softly: "These days, I have searched through the files left by my predecessor Zhizhou. Can you believe that a city has not had any disputes among the people for a year? The clean files are suspicious. At first I When I checked the accounts, there were no mistakes in the accounts, which really made people admire. Just because I had doubts, I went to test the guards who guarded the warehouse, and this test revealed the truth. The time was consistent with the balance of the goods, but The problem is that the guard on duty obviously didn't do his best, but he blurted out what I asked, as if he had memorized it in advance."

"I understand that suspicion cannot be regarded as evidence," he said with downcast eyes, "I have not been able to find any other evidence. I reported safety to Ning Huai and you respectively more than a month ago, but I only received Ning Huai's report." Reply. Then I didn’t send a letter from the official post, but I ordered a guard to deliver the letter, but the guard fainted to the ground as soon as he left the city, and he didn’t wake up for three days. Until... I thought of a way, tore open the paper, sent the letter to the Ning Huai."

"And in the first letter I didn't know where I was, I asked you a question in addition to telling you that you were safe."

The coldness in Qi Jiansi's eyes did not disappear: "What's the problem?"

"Let me ask you, can you find out when the soldiers stationed in the northern border asked the Ministry of War for food and grass last time?"

Yunzhou is located in the south, and after changing the salt, the merchants went all the way north, selling salt on the way, and finally transporting the grain to the granary in the north.

Among the regular merchants recorded in the account books, the latest purchase of Yanyin was not long after the year.All the exchange of real gold, silver, jewels and satin for Yanyin was correct, but Lu Xiao couldn't know whether the food was really sent to the northern border.

In recent years, Emperor Yunkang never sent an envoy to patrol the salt, Bian Bian submitted a letter to the Ministry of War, and the Minister of the Ministry of War allocated some food and grass to go there, so many things were so unclear.Yunzhou is not as prosperous as it used to be, and it is quite normal for Emperor Yunkang to disperse all over the place as a merchant and seek business in the other three states.

What if... the merchants are still there, but the salt trade has become a private matter between the government and the merchants?

After a long time, Qi Jiansi turned his head and said seriously: "Ah Xiao, don't worry, I will work with you to find out the dirty things hidden in this Yunzhou government office."

"Okay," Lu Xiao smiled, "I believe in you, and I believe in myself."

The two of them didn't stay in the room for too long, Du Zixiu had already prepared a welcome banquet, and he was just waiting for the two of them to attend the banquet.

Although Lu Xiao thought she was covering it up very well, it was just deception. Anyone with eyes could tell that he and this imperial envoy, Mr. Qi, were old acquaintances.

During the banquet, there were a lot of wine and wine, at first Qi Jiansi showed his face and then went back to sit in the carriage, his appearance didn't make people see him clearly.Now everyone has seen his face that is disastrous to the country and the people, but no one dares to criticize him, they are all restrained by his serious manner.

Lu Xiao sat on the left side of Qi Jiansi, and Du Zixiu, who was next to him, took advantage of the noise of the crowd and turned his head to ask him: "Master Lu, you are about the same age as Master Qi, you are an old acquaintance in Chang'an."

Although she asked him, there was determination in her tone.

Lu Xiao first ordered Xiao Yezi to go to the backyard to bring tea boiled in boiling water, and then said inexplicably: "We have met a few times, but I am not familiar with it."

Mu Tongpan, who was sitting on the right side, was holding the wine glass with trembling hands. Qi Jiansi refused and said, "Your Majesty Mu, don't care about these empty etiquettes. Take all the wine away. Just drink tea today."

Naturally, no one dared to comment on the words of the imperial envoy.

The waiter came back after turning around with the tray, and replaced all the drinks on the table with new tea.

Qian Zhongbin said: "Master Qi has come from a long way, so he should have a good rest for a day. Tomorrow, the villain will show Master Qi the scenery of Yunzhou City..."

"No need," Qi Jiansi interrupted him, "since I came here by order, I will deal with the business first."

He has always been so indifferent, Qian Zhongbin was bored and just froze there.He was also thick-skinned, and immediately turned a corner and followed Qi Jiansi's words: "Yes, yes, yes, what Master Qi said is that the villain doesn't understand the rules."

Lu Xiao covered her face with a teacup, and used tea as an excuse to cover up her smile.

Du Zixiu smoothed things over and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, Mr. Qi, try our Yunzhou Longjing shrimp balls..."

Ever since they became friends with Qi Jiansi, the two hadn't seen each other for several months. Seeing his frowning expression today, Lu Xiao couldn't help laughing in her heart. This seemed to be Lord Qi in everyone's eyes.

Beauty is beauty, and it is difficult to approach.Straightforward and unkind.

As a cold beauty, Lu Xiao also felt that such a temper matched his face at first.But now he has changed his mind, Qi Zhiyu, who can blush and smile, seems to be very cute.

A welcome feast thanks to Mr. Qi, who doesn't understand the style, is just drinking tea and eating vegetables.All the people at the round table dispersed, and the night wind blew across their cheeks. Lu Xiao watched Qi Jiansi return to the house before turning back.

At the end of the corridor, Lu Xuehen was waiting for him.

Lu Xiao smiled and walked towards him with her long legs: "Brother, guess who is the imperial envoy here today?"

Lu Xuehen lowered her eyes, and before he could answer, Lu Xiao couldn't help herself and said, "It's Qi Jiansi, he came to our house when he was in Chang'an before, and he also came when we saw him off."

"Well," the night wind was very cool, Lu Xuehen tightened Lu Xiao's lapel, "I know Mr. Qi."

Lu Xiaoxu muttered, "It's really unexpected that the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty turned out to be Zhiyu. I thought it would be Xu Shangshu."

That's right, I never thought that after leaving Chang'an, the person surnamed Qi could still find a reason to meet you.And he made thousands of mistakes, the last thing you should do is to let you put him in your heart.

Xiao'er, do you know that someone surnamed Qi is not worthy of being your friend at all.

Lu Xuehen smiled faintly: "When you meet old friends in a foreign land, it's good that Xiao'er is happy."

"By the way, brother, why are you here?" Lu Xiao just thought of asking him, and said cautiously, "I didn't drink today, and I have Xiao Yezi and a table of people to testify for me."

Lu Xuehen hummed: "Did you post the book in the backyard, maybe the attendant was careless and put the book in my room."

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was talking about the book that was stained with tea a few days ago.He didn't take it seriously at all, and he didn't even remember which book it was.

It was originally a volume of "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", when Lu Xuehen handed it to him, he remembered that he was bored that day, so he picked out an interesting novel to read.

Lu Xiao went straight to the study room, sat idly on the desk, and turned her head to see the wooden shelf on which the files were placed.He had long been familiar with the placement location, so he pulled out the account book and the files of the past five years in twos and twos, and brought them back to the bedroom together.

The evening wind squeaked and blew the door that was not closed tightly. Lu Xiao yawned and said softly: "Little Ye Zi, close the door and go to sleep. The baby will not grow tall if you don't go to bed early."

Xiao Ye Zi nodded, and closed the door knocker for him.

Lu Xiao sat by the window and looked out, thinking in her mind that when she woke up tomorrow, she would take these brochures to Qi Jiansi to have a look at. If she couldn't see any way out like him, then there was no rush.Yunzhou's dishes are exquisite and exquisite, and today's banquet is just the tip of the iceberg, he wants to take Qi Jiansi to try more.

As the night grew darker, Lu Xiao wanted to fall asleep, so she put the books on the table casually, only to realize that the dried "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" was pressed at the bottom.He flipped through it randomly, and although the pages were dry, they were a little wrinkled and not very pretty.

In an instant, the crumpled pages and the yellowed account book flooded into Lu Xiao's mind. He pulled out the account book from the stack of books as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly put the two together for comparison.

The former can obviously be seen that it has been sun-dried after being accidentally dampened, and the paper is a bit brittle.The ledger is much more natural, with occasional ink marks smeared, and the footer is obviously turned out due to frequent flipping.The account book is slightly yellow, and if you don't look carefully, you can feel that the paper has been placed for a long time, but compared with the dried book pages, it is very similar.

Lu Xiao hurriedly walked towards the guest room with the book in his arms. He couldn't wait to tell Qi Jiansi the details, but the next moment a roar suddenly poured into his ears!
