Time is slow

   Chapter 406 Prefect

  Shao Mingyuan walked out of the room, leaning against the wall to doze off the morning light and immediately woke up: "General—"

   "Miss Li is asleep, go over there and talk."

   Chenguang nodded, took two steps and suddenly realized, "Miss Li sleeping in your room?"

  The young general's eyes were indifferent, with indifferent majesty, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?"

   Chenguang's eyes lit up: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's a lowly job!"

   Lord General has always been secretive, master!

   "Ye Luo escorted Tie Zhu back?"

   "Yes, General."

   "Tie Zhu is a very key witness. You two have been working hard recently, take turns protecting his safety. If something goes wrong, you are the only ones who will ask!"

   "Take orders!"

   Shao Mingyuan sat down against the wall and closed his eyes.

  Morning light leaned against the wall and sighed.

Poor General   , he gave the room to Miss Li to sleep, so he could only sit outside and sleep. If Lord General had married Miss Li earlier, it would not have been so troublesome.

  Mengguang thought regretfully, and fell asleep in a daze.

  The sky is getting brighter.

   When Qiao Zhao woke up, it was already three poles in the sun.

   She sat up suddenly.

   "Girl, you're awake." Binglu came up, and Azhu went to pour water.

   "What time is it?" Qiao Zhao looked out the window, the dazzling sunlight made her narrow her eyes unconsciously.

   "It's almost noon." Ah Zhu handed her the water glass.

   "I slept for so long?" Qiao Zhao took the water glass, somewhat surprised.

  Binglu smiled and said, "Miss, you are in a daze. It's really noon. Just now, Ah Zhu and I were discussing whether to wake you up for lunch."

  Qiao Zhao moistened his throat, got up and got out of bed, and said casually, "Wash up first."

  Azhu and Binglu looked at each other.

  Qiao Zhao looked at the two of them.

  Ice Green smiled: "Girl, you are really sleepy, this is not your room."

  Qiao Zhao was stunned, his face blushed quickly, and he felt that it was very shameful in front of the maid, so he put his face up and said lightly: "Of course, go back to the room to wash."

   She stepped on the hem of her skirt in a chaotic manner, and after staggering, she stabilized her figure and hurried out.

  The courtyard was quiet, Qiao Zhao changed his clothes after washing and asked, "Where are they?"

  Azhu said while combing her hair: "General Shao and the others went to the village chief's house. Today, the magistrate Wang is at the village chief's house to ask the villagers to question."

  Qiao Zhao ate something casually, got up and said, "Go to the village chief's house to see."

  The three of the master and servant walked out, the morning light came towards them, and a white tooth smiled in the sunshine: "The three girls are awake?"

  Qiao Zhao stared at Chenguang for a moment, and always felt that Chenguang's smile was brighter today.

   "Hmm. Didn't you go out?"

   "Your Excellency General will protect you from a humble position."

When    mentioned someone, Qiao Zhao's face was slightly warm, and he said lightly, "Go to the village chief's house to see."

   A few people came to the village chief's house and saw the gate of the village chief's house wide open, and there were many people standing outside. Besides the villagers, there were many people wearing yamen costumes.

   Chenguang waved at a Jinwuwei.

  The Jin Wuwei ran over and said with a smile, "Brother Chenguang, is something wrong?"

   A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, not to mention that Chenguang, as the personal guard of the champion, originally had a military position, and he had a lot of face in front of these well-born Jin Wuwei.

   "A lot of people from the government came?"

   "That's right, not only the magistrate of Jiafeng is here today, but also the prefect."

   "No wonder there are so many yamen. Well, thank you, I brought Miss Li in."

   Chenguang guarded Qiao Zhao's master and servant and walked in.

   Just when the meal was about to start, the questioning of the villagers came to an end. The prefect of Jianan and the magistrate of Wang all gathered around Shao Mingyuan and others to talk.

   "Don't worry, Lord Hou, the next official will investigate this matter to the end."

   "When Li Zhifu said this, this Marquis is relieved." Shao Mingyuan glanced at the morning light at the door and stood up, "Several adults sit first, Ben Marquis goes out."

   Shao Mingyuan came out, Chenguang whispered: "Miss Li is here."

   Shao Mingyuan nodded and walked towards the pomegranate tree in the corner of the courtyard.

   There were only a few pomegranates left on the pomegranate tree, and Hong Yanyan looked very happy.

  Qiao Zhao turned around: "General Shao, I heard that the prefect of Jianan is also here?"

   "Yes, at this time, the prefect of Jianan, the magistrate of Jiafeng, and Jiang Wu of Jinlinwei are all sitting in the room. Do you want to go in?"

  Qiao Zhao shook his head: "Not yet. Is there any progress in today's investigation?"

   "No." Shao Mingyuan's tone was calm.

   The two exchanged glances, both of them knew that there should be no useful clues to investigate from the villagers.

   "Then I'll go back first, General Shao remember to let me know when he's done."

   As for the portrait, she still wanted to discuss it with Shao Mingyuan.

   "Okay." Shao Mingyuan nodded, looking at the girl who had recovered from a full sleep, feeling very happy, "Have you eaten? If it's not useful, then stay and eat together. The food at the village chief's family must be good today."

   Seeing the girl's strange expression, Shao Mingyuan laughed: "Don't worry about what others think, they are just passers-by, and you shouldn't feel wronged for these people."

   Miss Qiao raised her eyes to the sky and thought silently: So the champions Hou Wenrun Ruyu and Sven Shouli are all lies, and the rumors are really not credible.

   "I've eaten, so go in quickly, it's not good to keep others waiting for a long time."

  A strong dragon is hard to overwhelm the local snakes. Although the title of the champion Hou is famous, it is better to try to build a good relationship with others when he comes to other people's territory.

   "Okay, then I'll go in." Shao Mingyuan smiled and glanced at Qiao Zhao before turning around.

  Qiao Zhao was inexplicable at his glance, glanced at the window inadvertently, and was immediately stunned.

   Seeing that Shao Mingyuan was about to walk in, she returned to her senses and shouted, "Shao Mingyuan—"

   Shao Mingyuan immediately turned around and walked back: "Is there anything else?"

  In the courtyard stood Binglu and Azhu, and not far away were Chengguang and several Jinwuwei and the entourage brought by the prefects.

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help but grab Shao Mingyuan's sleeve, his voice was low, and he couldn't hide his trembling: "I'll go back to Tofu Xishi's house and wait for you, I have something to tell you now."

   Shao Mingyuan was startled, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go in and say it and come out."

   Back at Tofu Xishi's house, Qiao Zhao took the hot tea handed over by A Zhu, holding it in both hands but felt no warmth at all, from the hair to the toes, it was cold.

   Shao Mingyuan said goodbye to Li Zhifu and others, Li Zhifu naturally held back, until he received the look from Wang County magistrate, and said regretfully: "Then the Marquis will give you a face tomorrow, we won't go home if we don't get drunk."

"must."

   After Shao Mingyuan left, Li Zhifu glanced at the magistrate Wang.

  The magistrate Wang explained in a low voice, "Your Excellency doesn't know anything, but Champion Hou also brought a girl with him this time. He was very gentle and considerate to that girl. It was probably the girl who came to look for him and then went back."

   Li Zhifu was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I thought that people like Champion Hou would be difficult to approach, but it turns out that he is also a man of temperament!"

   Twenty-fifth more. For this update, I would like to thank Langyuan Xianpa who asked everyone for a reward in January.
